God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Gongsun Zan, who had originally only come to take a look and broaden Gongsun Yue's horizons, agreed to Wolgis V's request and plan after a little thought, and then set foot on the land to the north.

Gongsun Zan agreed to this method because, firstly, Volghis V offered a reasonably good reward, and secondly, his actions were in line with the interests of the Han Empire.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan received information from Yuan Shao that Yuan Shao had also come to this place, so he planned to go and meet him so that they could have a more frank conversation.

The higher your position, the fewer friends you'll have, and the fewer people you'll be able to chat with.

Although one could chat with Liu Bei and others, the distance was too far, and it was inconvenient to travel back and forth. Among those closer, it seemed that only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were suitable.

Gongsun Zan went to visit Cao Cao without any reason and had a conversation with him, but he said he wasn't that busy.

However, Gongsun Zan still had the idea of ​​going to see Yuan Shao.

After all, considering Yuan Shao's background and abilities, he was quite outstanding, and his personal charisma was also quite formidable. His ability to seize the opportunity and nearly kill Yuan Shao was a remarkable achievement.

However, Gongsun Zan did not come here simply to mock Yuan Shao, but genuinely wanted to have a chat with Yuan Shao and resolve some issues along the way.

After arranging for the army to rest, Ju Yi began to devise a plan to get Gongsun Zan to leave Armenia while he was working.

"You don't seem to welcome General Gongsun?!" Jiang Qi put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Ju Yi thoughtfully.

“Nobody wants to welcome him, but if he comes, we have no choice but to welcome him. After all, it’s a matter of etiquette. Only by doing the proper etiquette can we send him away in the shortest amount of time!” Ju Yi glanced at Jiang Qi and finally voiced his thoughts.

Ju Yi and Jiang Qi did indeed have very different attitudes toward Gongsun Zan, and the hatred they harbored was also completely different.

After all, Jiang Qi had already been captured and killed before that incident happened, so it had nothing to do with the other party.

“The White Horse Cavalry is also a powerful army in the country. If they stay, wouldn’t our pressure be less?” Rubbing his temples, Jiang Qi pointed out the benefits of this matter directly, and then said in as calm a tone as possible, “If we increase our pressure and suffer more casualties just for some hatred, it would probably be a loss for us.”

Faced with these words, Ju Yi remained silent for a moment, then carefully examined Jiang Qi before speaking, "What is our purpose here?"

"There will inevitably be clashes between the Roman Empire's advancing army and the White Horse Cavalry. Isn't it good to have an army like the White Horse Cavalry?" Jiang Qi recalled the orders he was given when he received the mission and repeated them.

"It is indeed to delay the Roman Empire's attack. That is precisely why we cannot let the White Horse Cavalry help us, but instead we must let them leave as soon as possible." Ju Yi gave an explanation for his words.

Then Jiang Qi felt even more confused, completely unable to understand why there was such a difference.

"Our goal is to hold back the Roman Empire's army, slow their advance, and buy them more time, but there are also significant differences..." Ju Yi sat down and began to explain the arrangements and calculations of the many Yuan family strategists.

Having lived in Eastern Europe, how could they not know anything about the Roman Empire? Especially with the Slavic explanations, they would certainly conduct thorough intelligence gathering, whether out of caution or vigilance.

Sima Yi infiltrated the Roman Empire's barbarians, attempting to disrupt the empire from within, thereby increasing Rome's internal risks and weakening the enemy's military strength and manpower, ultimately prolonging the war. In this process, anyone with a modicum of foresight would have devised some contingency plan.

As for the Yuan family, since Sima Yi had brought the pot out, they naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire, making this force even more outrageous.

Thanks to the blast furnace owned by the Yuan family, while ensuring the use of their own army and civilians, they deliberately produced some relatively poor-quality weapons that had not been properly cured and sold them to the Roman barbarians.

Through this trade, they could further recover the grain from the barbarians of the Roman Empire.

Furthermore, these weapons would also instill ambition in the Roman barbarians; possessing such weapons would naturally ignite their murderous intent, making it easier for them to challenge the conflict between Roman citizens and barbarians.

It can be said that during that period, the Yuan family was selling arms at a great pace and made extremely large profits.

The eastward advance of the Roman Eleventh Legion under Luciano was not merely a routine suppression of the Slavs; it was also aimed at addressing the source of weapons for the barbarians.

Although the Roman Empire allowed individuals to purchase weapons privately, this did not include the large-scale sale of weapons by unofficial personnel, especially to barbarians, which was unacceptable.

However, with the onset of the full-scale war in the Roman Empire, the wise men of the Roman Empire quickly drew parallels to the situation of the barbarians surrounding the Turkish provinces.

While opening the gates, they also encouraged the barbarians to bring their own weapons and equipment to attack Parthia.

By simply paying a certain amount of food and a quota of Roman citizenship, these armed barbarians could be recruited into the army and serve the Roman Empire.

Not only can it remove the weapons from these barbarians' hands, but it can also curb their ever-growing ambitions.

This is also why Ju Yi found the weapons and armor of the barbarian army quite familiar when facing them, and why he chose to use the Cloud Arrow to quickly eliminate them.

The weapons are new, the armor is new, but they haven't been properly nurtured. So, a quick sweep can still achieve annihilation.

Especially when they were about to be caught up and entangled, Ju Yi naturally did not mind using some special methods to help the army escape danger.

Looking at the weapons and equipment hidden from the legion, one might feel as if their own side is aiding the enemy.

However, after thinking about the abundant food in the Eastern European City, Ju Yi suppressed his uneasy thoughts.

To be honest, this behavior is somewhat like drinking poison to quench thirst, but it's not a big problem.

After all, the quality and conditioning of those weapons are indeed quite poor, and it will probably take some time before they can reach their full potential.

Within this current timeframe, the opponent's equipment utilization rate has not yet reached its peak. (End of Chapter)
