Chapter 549 Discussion
"Tell me, what intelligence have you received? There shouldn't be anyone holding back on something like this, right?" Perennis looked at Commodus who was leaving with some helplessness.
It's broken, but not completely broken.
At least they choose to strike hard when facing challenges and employ talented people. These monarchs have done what they should do, and they can also accept some hobbies and interests.
He was too lazy to look up the specific information and started asking directly in the Senate.
There's no need to lie about this kind of thing, it's something that can be easily exposed.
If there really are such brainless members of the Senate, then it’s time to clear them out, and then no one else will have anything to say.
"Parthia, ah, it should be called Parthia now. The new king of Parthia is indeed capable. He quickly wiped out one noble family, and then integrated the remaining six noble families to re-establish Parthia."
One of the elders said with a slightly bitter tone.
They had been ravaging Parthia for so many years, and just one negligence allowed this damn Parthia to rise again.
Although it is not a cause , this is a very bad sign. We could have killed it directly, but now it has become impossible because of Great Britain's obstruction.
Parthia was weak, but that was because their military force was single-minded and their advantages were absorbed by Rome.
Now that they have formed an alliance with Great Britain, the advantages of both sides will be magnified, and Rome will face more complex challenges.
They would not bet that Great Britain and Parthia would not cooperate well or something like that, as generals naturally have to consider the worst outcome.
They certainly would not underestimate Great Britain, as an empire that could compete with their temporary power, its strength was unquestionable.
"I heard that Great Britain has formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty, and Parthia has also hired the Huns!" another elder said bitterly.
The Penilenses are all very powerful. Whenever Rome offends the public, they will be beaten.
There are already four empires coming and going. Even if not all of them can come, it is too scary.
The Romans knew very well that an empire was an empire, and they could easily destroy a kingdom, but when it came to fighting the Parthians, no matter how weak the Parthians were, they had been fighting for hundreds of years and had not yet defeated them, which showed how powerful this empire was.
Of course, Penilence would not be scared. Apart from Great Britain, even if others came, there would only be a small number of people.
"Wait, what about the Kushans?" Penilence thought about it and realized that he had missed one.
"An envoy from Kushan has arrived, and he has not been dealt with yet!" said the elder in charge of reception.
"After that, go meet him and see what's going on!" Perennis said casually.
The opponent sounds too intimidating, so let's find an ally to calm us down first. The Kushan Empire is also an empire, and it is located right behind the Parthian Empire. Maybe we can even stab the Parthian Empire in the back.
Let’s talk about it first. It’s free as promised.
At worst, they could just destroy Parthia and take half of the benefits from Kushan. The Romans don't have the habit of not fighting back after being beaten.
"If I remember correctly, the Han Dynasty and the Huns should be mortal enemies, right? Shouldn't we use this to get rid of them first?" Chief Justice Papinian suddenly said.
"Well, that's a good idea!" Penilence was very pleased to finally hear good news.
War is not only about fighting on the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield.
After listening to the elders' talk, Penilence had a clearer understanding and a new understanding of the tentacles of these elders.
Some elders have already established connections with the Kushans. What are they trying to do?
Penilence summarized as he kept a mental tally.
"Then the biggest problem is still Great Britain? Even if Parthia is integrated, it will be in pieces and not a big deal!"
"According to your majesty's wishes, go and summon all the border dukes back! The next time the parliament comes up with an effective plan!"
Penilence was very satisfied with the consensus reached at the temporary meeting and took this opportunity to give the Border Duke a warning.
Once all the manpower is gathered and more specific intelligence is obtained, the wise men will be organized to carry out large-scale future simulations.
"By the way, send someone to inform the Pope. Since the Holy See has taken the initiative to apply to participate in the battle, let's have a meeting together!"
…
Just when Rome was desperately planning to gather a large army and try to form a wave to flatten the two empires.
Zhuge Liang in Pamirs received intelligence from the Kushans.
"To kill someone with a borrowed knife? To watch the fire from the other side of the river?"
After just reading the intelligence, Zhuge Liang guessed what Vasudeva I meant.
He wanted to use the Northern Huns to provoke them. If he hadn't already had intelligence about the Northern Huns, he might have been easily provoked. But now he is as stable as a rock.
Ju Yi, who had wandered across most of the grassland, had already arrived at Congling and was now helping Congling train its troops.
Zhuge Liang had known about the affairs of the Northern Huns for a long time. Although he was eager to try at first, the death order from Luoyang made him give up his plan.
"Rome? What a powerful country!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and handed the information to Sima Yi beside him.
"Why not send someone to witness it?" Sima Yi suggested after taking a look.
Such a large-scale war is a great opportunity to collect intelligence. Isn't that the purpose of their presence in the Pamirs?
"It is enough to have Mengqi in Great Britain . If we encounter the Northern Huns, the people we send will be in great danger!" Zhuge Liang directly rejected Sima Yi's suggestion.
If Great Britain really encountered the Northern Huns, it would not be able to save itself even if it wanted to.
The blood feud between the Han and the Xiongnu is something that other empires cannot understand.
"Just focus on your development. The battle for the empire cannot be completed overnight!"
Zhuge Liang was also helpless. The country had issued a strict order to develop and not cause trouble in the short term. They couldn't cause trouble at this time.
Without the support of the Han Dynasty behind them, with the limited military force in the Pamirs, they couldn't even deal with Parthia, let alone participate in the imperial battlefield.
It is better to just focus on development in Pamirs. Pamirs has good resources and they have a lot of things to deal with.
Only in this environment could they understand how difficult it was for Chen Xi.
Chen Xi gave them all the templates, and it was very difficult for them to copy them. So how powerful was Chen Xi when he created these systems from scratch?
They were not naive enough to think that Chen Xi was just blindly copying.
You have to know that even if there is such a saying as gods entering dreams, the adjustments needed will be different in different regions.
If we apply the northern system to the southern system, will it lead to chaos?
Everything needs fine-tuning. Without practice, you have no right to speak.
An empire rose from ruins under Chen Xi's leadership in a short period of time. This ability is worthy of the reputation of "a bright moon in the sky".
It was not until they started construction in Congling that they realized Chen Xi's hardships and felt even more powerless about Chen Xi's abilities.
The more I learn, the more I feel the gap between myself and Chen Xi.
This gap really makes them feel powerless.
