God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"This method is too dangerous. Vologus V would never agree to it, even if he knew the odds of success were low." Even after mentally rehearsing it and finding that the probability of success was indeed quite high, Sima Yi quickly rejected and refuted it.

“That can be prepared in advance. We just need to tell Vorogis V to use this method as a backup. He will naturally be willing to do it. In the actual execution, we only need to release the floodwaters shortly after the start of the battle. When the floodwaters arrive, it will inevitably be a stalemate between the two sides, and we can successfully take both sides away together…” Xu Shu spoke calmly as he shared his thoughts.

Sima Yi understood that Xu Shu was not joking, but had genuinely considered this aspect of the plan.

“But during wartime, it is difficult for us, as allies, especially those who submitted such a proposal, to remain bystanders.” Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Sima Yi pointed out the most difficult aspect of the matter.

This way of playing is indeed quite good, but their identities and status dictate that they will inevitably be present in this kind of all-in showdown.

Even if they make preparations in advance, the price they pay will not be low, and it may even arouse suspicion, leading to a crisis of trust in the relationship, making subsequent plans even more difficult.

"It's alright. Once everyone is sent away, there's no need to worry about what happens next." With this half-joking tone, Xu Shu said something that shocked Sima Yi.

"Everyone?" Sima Yi asked, forcibly regaining his composure by stimulating himself with his mental energy.

“Yes, everyone!” Xu Shu nodded on the spot, and then explained the subsequent plans and arrangements.

If handled properly, the soldiers of the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Han Empire would all be wiped out by the great flood.

At that time, whether it was a planned accident or some other reason, their plans and arrangements could be completely absolved, without affecting their relationship with each other.

The Roman Empire lost a large number of citizen legions, the backbone of the empire, and with the foreshadowing they had laid beforehand, it was bound to fall into endless internal strife and would no longer be able to worry about external affairs.

The Parthian Empire, whose core power was also severely damaged, will inevitably suffer a significant loss of strength. Even if Vologius V survives, he will not be able to change the fact that he has lost the hearts and minds of the people.

The fact that the Han Empire went to such lengths to achieve this naturally garnered them a lot of goodwill, making subsequent conquest and rule much easier.

If they could take advantage of the situation to eliminate Vologius V and several other high-ranking nobles, then the Parthian Empire would truly be theirs for the taking.

"General Gongsun, General Lü, the Yuan family's army, and even Cao Mengde's army, who are currently on the sidelines, will all become candidates to share the spoils, right?" Following Xu Shu's line of thought, Sima Yi could already imagine who would come to clean up the mess later.

"As expected of Sima Zhongda, he is indeed very intelligent!" Xu Shu nodded on the spot, his tone full of admiration.

"Have you contacted several companies? Have they agreed?" After hesitating for a moment, Sima Yi finally spoke slowly, asking for the answer directly.

If these parties have already agreed, then things probably won't go according to his wishes.

How could someone willing to sacrifice such a large number of elite troops to achieve this situation be swayed by his personal will?

Upon closer examination, this matter doesn't affect Lü Bu or Gongsun Zan, so they naturally have no burden or pressure to agree. While the Yuan family does have some burdens, these are mainly related to cleaning up the mess after the war, which is hardly a challenge for a family that has held high office for four generations.

As for Cao Cao, who bore the heaviest burden, he would probably agree to such a generous reward and benefit.

How could anyone refuse when they could reap such enormous benefits at such a small cost?
"No, it's just a thought. Although I might not use it, I can't guarantee whether others will have the same idea..." Xu Shu shook his head first, then looked at Sima Yi and said seriously, "You can rest assured on this point. Even in the most desperate situation, I will not use such a strategy. After all, the teacher is watching. How can a student answer in such a way?"

If we were to answer in this way, it would probably become a swan song, a swan song for the nation.

Unfortunately, the Han Empire has never used the sacrifice of 100,000 elite troops as bait to pave the way to success over the years.

The confident people of the Han Empire believed that they could forge a future with the swords in their hands. With 100,000 elite troops at their disposal, they believed that whatever national strategies could achieve, swords could also achieve!

"The others? I understand." With external threats and internal troubles, Sima Yi, who was well aware of this situation, instantly understood the deeper meaning in Xu Shu's words.

They may not have this thought, but it's hard to guarantee that others don't.

The benefits are so enormous that for some people, sacrificing a portion of the population is considered reasonable.

"As long as you, Zhongda, don't have such thoughts, this plan will be difficult to succeed." After making the matter clear, Xu Shu returned to his usual self and looked much more energetic.

"Fortunately, you are not like Li Ru of Xiliang, otherwise it would be troublesome..." Sima Yi naturally knew that there were many ruthless people in the Han Empire, even those who were not gifted with spiritual talents.

As long as this one thing is accomplished, this one plan is completed, it will definitely be recorded in history books and written in great detail.

People willing to do this to leave their mark on history books are as numerous as lucky carp crossing a river.

And there are probably quite a few people who would do this for the sake of their own power.

"To achieve one's goal, one must stop at nothing. First, ensure one's own safety, and then resort to any means necessary. Use the high-sounding path to overpower everything..." Xu Shu spoke of one path after another, while also providing one choice after another.

"The momentum of the kingly way is unstoppable. Planning is important, but it must ultimately be based on one's own foundation. Now that our foundation is not yet stable, it is probably only to help others achieve their goals." Sima Yi chose to speak the truth directly, without hiding his opinion.

If the Sima family were to actually do such a thing under these circumstances, how much could they possibly gain?

It's likely that not only will they gain nothing, but they'll also lose all their initial investment. Whether from the perspective of the powerful clans or from an individual standpoint, Sima Yi would not agree to such a plan and would prevent others from implementing it.
