God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Having a legitimate reason to act is something that is basically needed no matter where you are. Even extremists need an excuse that can make them feel good.

As for whether this excuse is true or not, it actually doesn’t matter much. What matters is whether you have this idea or not. This is the most important thing.

Of course, if everything is true, it would at least be icing on the cake. The higher the requirements for this excuse, the more difficult this matter is.

For some things, the most important thing is not the excuse, but what needs to be accomplished using this excuse. That is the essence of the matter.

Vologases V wanted to find a suitable excuse, take advantage of the right time, place and people, complete the concentration of domestic power and make the country a one-man show.

It can be said that this goal is basically a very difficult basic goal for an ambitious emperor, and it is also a basic goal that must be achieved.

Of course, some people yearned for Rome, some were born in Rome, but Vologases V obviously did not stay in Rome, so the environment and situation he faced were actually very difficult.

Parthia's political structure and territorial ruling situation meant that the nobles enjoyed extremely strong power and had the strength and capital to fight against the royal family. Even though this power was not concentrated, its existence was extremely reasonable.

"If Vologases V needs to go to this extent, what excuse will you give?" Lu Jun didn't believe that Sima Yi would be so kind as to give Vologases V a really good excuse.

There is nothing wrong with honey, but can you guarantee that it is not poisonous?
"Rome!" Sima Yi directly gave the most reasonable answer, an answer that Lu Jun did not find surprising.

"I don't need to explain the relationship between the Parthian nobles and Rome. I think you understand. In this situation, even if the Roman army is at the gates of the city, it would be meaningless for Vologases V to achieve all this, right?" Lu Jun directly pointed out the unreasonableness of it.

Rome certainly played a big role in the Parthian Empire becoming what it was today, but the nobles also played a big role as well.

In a sense, most of the nobles were actually Rome's invisible allies, but they just did not make it clear on the surface.

By bleeding and sacrificing the royal family, they were able to secure their own position and strengthen their own interests.

In this situation, would Rome's usual march really unite the nobles?
Are you sure that the nobles did not unite around Rome to further bleed Vologases V and weaken his vitality at this time?

Of course, by doing so, relying on Vologases V's prestige and reputation at the time, he could unite a large number of civilians, but this was definitely not the behavior that should be taken under normal circumstances, and Vologases V would not have approved of this choice and answer.

"No, I chose Rome and silk..." Sima Yi shook his head and told him about his previous arrangements and arrangements.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Parthian nobles helped Rome, they would not help Vologases V.

The former is at most a matter of interest, while the latter is a matter of life and death.

These nobles can still tell the difference between money and life.

Everyone knows that Rome is short-sighted. If they send troops to plunder, it will be the country that suffers the loss, the country under the rule of Vologases V. What does it have to do with them?
In this situation, not only will their interests not be harmed, but they will be able to profit from it and gain a lot of wealth.

But if Vologases V really were to gain the supreme power that a country deserves, would these nobles still be able to be as stable and peaceful as they are now?
The nobles were also human beings and could be killed. The peace and enjoyment of life today were based on their own strength. When Vologases V was powerless, the emperor and the nobles recognized each other.

Strength is always the cornerstone that determines the fairness of conversations between two parties.

Without strength, no matter how powerful your words and eloquence are, they are nothing but sweet talk and will only make you a laughing stock.

Therefore, considering and analyzing from the perspective of interests and their own safety, the attitude of the Parthian nobles towards Vologases V would naturally not be very good.

Based on this reality, in order to achieve the unification of Parthia's national strength, it is necessary to reverse the Parthian nobles' hostile attitude towards Vologases V and their friendly attitude towards the Roman Empire.

Although it is possible to shout and kill the rebels in the name of treason, such behavior is simply impossible under the current situation.

Because the nobles accounted for nearly 60% of the power in Parthia, which meant that when the butcher knife was opened on a large scale, who would be the rebel? That was hard to say.

If it really turns out that the emperor is the traitor, that would be really funny.

Sima Yi also did not think that Vologases V could not see this, and naturally he would not come up with such a stupid strategy and idea.

"So you chose another path?" Lu Jun naturally understood Sima Yi's thoughts and roughly guessed how the other path would be implemented.

“Since it is impossible to improve the relationship between Vologases V and the nobles in a short period of time, and there is no way to suppress them directly with the butcher’s knife, we can only use roundabout means…” Sima Yi was not surprised by this, but agreed with Lu Jun’s answer.

Many things have two sides. Since there is no way to ease the relationship, you can just destroy it.

Destruction is much easier than construction. It is difficult to gain trust, but it is easy to destroy trust and make each other suspicious.

Because the acquaintance and understanding between people is a process of gradually moving from strangers to trust, the difficulty between them can be said to be very different.

"So what kind of help do you need?" Lu Jun had a rough guess about Sima Yi's thoughts, but he still asked cautiously.

"I need a large amount of silk, and I also need an endorsement..." Sima Yi opened his mouth and offered the help he wanted most.

"I can give you the silk, but I can't give you the empire's endorsement, even if I represent the empire." Lu Jun directly agreed to half of it and then rejected the other half.

When Sima Yi heard this reply, he looked at Lu Jun with some surprise, not understanding why it was like this.

If all conditions can be met, then the subsequent situation will inevitably go in the same direction as his idea. At that time, whether it is weakening the Parthian Empire or the Roman Empire, it will be very effective.

From the perspective of national strategy, this is also the right direction.
