God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Xi Zhong looked at Sima Yi meaningfully, then smiled and said softly, "If Zhongda leads the army this time, will there be any war?"

"Since I was invited to visit, I don't think I will take part in the war." Sima Yi said seriously.

As for the possibility that war will not happen at all, that is impossible.

Once the war between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire broke out, wouldn't they, as visitors, be involved?
Regardless of whether the Parthian Empire wanted to drag them into the war or demonstrate their strength in the face of war.

As a visitor, it is normal to face war and even possibly participate in it, and it all depends on your own choices and behaviors during the war.

"I wonder how this war will go? What is the scale?" Xi Zhongcai did not believe what Sima Yi said, and asked another question directly. He pointed out the real situation from another angle, so that Sima Yi could tell the truth, "There is a letter from Chang'an, stating Zhongda's plan, and what he wants is more than just a small army. If it is just for sightseeing, such strength seems a bit too cautious? For such a long distance, the army is wasting money and food, which is a bit unreasonable..."

Hearing this, Sima Yi's eyes became focused and his gaze towards the characters in the play showed his importance.

He passed this information to Chang'an through a special information channel.

He was not surprised that Cao Cao's men were able to obtain this information. After all, the other party had been operating in Chang'an for so many years, it would be strange if they could not get it.

However, for it to reach the other party in such a short time, some special information communication channels must have been used.

This also means that the people who stayed in Chang'an were of high enough rank, had a great deal of autonomy, and could also see the reasons behind his request.

Putting these together, you can see how much the other party values ​​him.

Sima Yi did not feel the slightest bit happy about being valued by others, instead he felt only cautious and prudent.

"I wonder what Mr. Xi means?" Although Sima Yi had some ideas in his mind, he was unable to confirm the other party's thoughts, so he asked directly.

After all, the two parties are not in a hostile relationship, at least not now, so asking directly may be more efficient.

"Can we send troops there? We can go there to observe and learn from them in the name of Zhongda." Xi Zhong looked at Sima Yi and asked him this. He did not hesitate and directly said what he really thought in his heart, "Even if a war really breaks out, we can directly participate in the war, and we will directly bear the losses caused by it."

"What happened to you?" Sima Yi was instantly surprised. He looked at Xi Zhong in astonishment, totally unable to understand what the other party said.

The mere fact that he could dispatch troops was already unexpected, and what was said later meant that the army could not only directly participate in the war, but could even bear the corresponding losses, so that he would not have to bear any responsibility. This kind of good thing was not common.

You must know that since Chen Xi implemented the reform, the army's casualty indicators have gradually decreased from the previous unscrupulous and reckless state.

During this period, the effect of the improvement was not only the improvement of the status of soldiers, but also the optimization of various systems and equipment. The basic conditions for opening up new territories and the survival rate of soldiers began to gradually appear in front of and be accepted by all families.

"Zhongda, don't worry too much. As long as Zhongda agrees, your brother can go this time..." Xi Zhong directly brought up a character that Sima Yi would find difficult to refuse—Sima Lang.

"I am not opposed to this, but it is a war after all, and it is a war between empires. Even if I am just a spectator, accidents are bound to happen..." Hearing his brother's name, Sima Yi knew that he could not refuse. He could only tell Xi Zhong the hidden dangers and points of attention, trying to keep Xi Zhong alert. "So do you need to tell Cao Sikong and let Cao Sikong know this before making a decision? How about it?"

"A high-intensity war? As long as it's not Zhongda's intention, it doesn't matter." Xi Zhong didn't even hesitate too much, and nodded in agreement, and said without even disguising, "The lord will not refuse in this regard, Zhongda, don't worry."

When Sima Yi heard Xi Zhong's words, a trace of envy flashed through his heart, but then he felt a chill.

Even participating in a high-intensity war is an acceptable option. What exactly is the other side playing? What kind of plan is it?
It can be said that the price the other party could accept was far beyond Sima Yi's own imagination.

In fact, for Xizhong, this is the only solution.

Although they experienced many wars in the country, even including the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, their level of participation during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang was not high.

So even though Cao Cao's forces had experienced many wars, both large and small, including the Qiang War, and had accumulated a large number of veterans, many of whom could be called backbone troops, there was no legion that could make the final decision.

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc. can all be called famous generals of the time. The combat effectiveness of the legions they each led was indeed good and they were also suitable for commanding large groups. However, none of them had a legion that could serve as a facade and break through the enemy's formations for a decisive battle.

Without such a legion, it would be very easy to suffer losses in many wars.

The positioning of the decisive battle legion is equivalent to the main general in the legion, which can greatly influence the morale of the entire legion and lead to changes in momentum.

However, given the current domestic situation, there is no suitable place for them to train a decisive battle army, so they can only turn their attention elsewhere.

It can be said that in order to forge a decisive battle legion, it is also to understand the true strength of other empires and measure one's own positioning, so as to make subsequent strategic plans based on one's own positioning.

Based on the above purposes, Xi Zhong came to the Pamirs area coincidentally and naturally after receiving the intelligence information, just to achieve this goal.

The reason for implementing this in this way is to avoid relying too much on others, which would put the entire army's autonomy in action at an absolute disadvantage and make it subject to the control of others throughout the process. How can the army be trained then?

Xizhong is still very satisfied with the current situation. Although they can accept high-intensity wars, it does not mean that they can accept all war situations.

After all, the purpose is to train and build the legion, not to be sent to be annihilated, the nature itself is different.
