...

Despite having various thoughts in his mind, Gongsun Zan could only suppress them in the end. Even if he really wanted to train Gongsun Yue on the battlefield, it had to be done under safe conditions.

Establishing a safe environment means there isn't enough pressure, and the experience gained from insufficient pressure is ultimately limited.

Well, now that the Gongsun family has developed to this point, whether or not they have a general as skilled in battle as themselves is no longer important.

Just thinking about Gongsun Yue's current strength, which doesn't even allow him to separate his internal energy from his body, tells you that his future is bleak.

Given Gongsun Zan's own status, if he truly wanted to make Gongsun Yue achieve internal energy separation, it wasn't impossible or impossible.

However, after thinking it over, Gongsun Zan gave up the idea of ​​finding Liu Bei.

If someone treats me with respect, I will repay them tenfold. As long as I value someone, Gongsun Zan will never be stingy with his strength, let alone his sharing.

But this was the standard he used to treat others. As for himself, Gongsun Zan rarely had the idea of ​​asking others for favors. His inner pride made it difficult for him to lower his head and ask others for help.

Even if it's a very small matter, something that can be resolved simply by speaking up.

Compared to this matter, Gongsun Zan would rather give up than ask for it.

Gongsun Yue, who also understood Gongsun Zan's feelings and thoughts, did not speak out or ask for anything, except to work even harder.

Only by working hard can he live up to the expectations of the Gongsun family, and only by working hard can he live up to himself, even if the Gongsun family doesn't need his efforts.

While everyone was discussing, Ma Chao and Ardashir, who were slowing down the Roman army's march from the rear, also came to the front and arrived at the location of Xu Huang and Wei Yan.

"What's going on? Why aren't we continuing our retreat? The Roman army is almost catching up." Taking off his helmet, Ardashir looked at the army that was standing still, his face full of confusion and bewilderment, while giving Lu Bu and the others a rather strange look.

However, before he could watch for long, Ma Chao tugged at his sleeve.

Ardashir looked at Ma Chao with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand Ma Chao's expression.

Ardashir also has his own understanding of Ma Chao.

In Ardashir's mind, Ma Chao was a complete martial arts fanatic, skilled in combat and enjoying battle, a truly powerful master.

He never fears the stronger; he dares to draw his sword against the strong; he is a person who is strong in appearance but even stronger in mind.

When faced with this person, Ardashir saw a hint of struggle on Ma Chao's face for the first time.

You know, Ma Chao didn't hesitate for a second when facing the Roman demigods, those guys who were in real danger of death. How could he hesitate when facing this so-called ally?

“The Roman army is not large in number. Defeating them before retreating will make the retreat easier. Soldiers can retreat without pressure, which will help maintain order.” Gongsun Zan glanced at Ardashir and then explained his reasoning.

Lu Bu, who was initially somewhat bored, lost all interest in the Parthian experts after glancing at Ardashir. They were easy prey; he had no desire to fight them.

Compared to Ardashir, Ma Chao, who was standing to the side, could at least practice his skills.

Ma Chao, who was being watched by Lü Bu, thought for a moment and then met Lü Bu's gaze without hesitation.

Since his body was taken over by Lü Bu last time, Ma Chao has been able to feel the huge gap in strength between the two sides, but this is only the difference in strength, and cannot determine the difference in their hearts.

Even if you lose, don't lose face! Why be a coward? Young Ma Chao is anything but a coward!
“General, the Roman pursuers number over 4, no less than ours, and they also have a large number of infantry behind them. Once we engage them in battle, we could easily get bogged down in their delaying tactics. By then, when the infantry surrounds us, we won’t even have a chance to escape,” Ardashir explained the situation he knew and expressed his disapproval.

If it were just 4 Roman barbarian cavalry, he would never have said that and firmly supported fighting the enemy, but clearly, the outcome was not like that at all.

Rome not only had barbarian cavalry, but also a large number of infantry. Moreover, these barbarian armies were supported by the Roman Imperial Council Guard, and their strength was no less than that of ordinary elite cavalry.

Even if the effect has been lost due to the distance, no one knows whether the other party will return to the range of the Parliament Guard's blessing.

Once we return, the strength they can unleash will increase further, and with that level of power, holding them off will definitely not be a problem.

Whether for his own sake or for the sake of the Han Empire's elite cavalry, Ardashir felt he had to offer a friendly reminder.

It wasn't because they were afraid of war, but because they didn't want to sacrifice themselves in such a senseless war.

After all, in a sense, this war is meaningless, whether we win or lose.

Even if we win, we won't be able to reclaim the defenses of Mesopotamia. But if we lose, that would be a truly devastating loss, a loss that could cost us our lives.

Having already suffered significant losses in Mesopotamia, neither Parthia nor the Han Empire could withstand substantial casualties in the short term.

Parthia's troops were doing well; with the Emperor's help, they were able to maintain the size and number of troops, and even expand the number of elite soldiers.

However, the Han Empire's army was not so fortunate. Even the nearest Pamir Mountains region was a very long distance away, a distance that would make the empire feel safe.

"4 people? That's alright, at least it's still within our control." Upon hearing this number, Gongsun Zan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

4 men is equivalent to elite Hu cavalry, making them a formidable opponent and deserving of some serious attention.

“It will be difficult for us to defeat them in a short time…” Ardashir was about to continue his advice when Ma Chao pulled him back and said softly, “This is General Gongsun Zan, the General Who Guards the North. Ardashir should listen to General Gongsun and trust his judgment.”

If it were anyone else who underestimated 4 cavalry, Ma Chao might have mocked them. However, since the opponent was Gongsun Zan, he had no choice but to acknowledge his superiority.

After all, the number of cavalrymen Gongsun Zan wiped out, including both mounted and infantry, was so high that Ma Chao would believe it was 4, let alone 40.

This was a true force to be reckoned with in the north; no matter how ruthless the blade in his hand, Ma Chao expressed his confidence. (End of Chapter)
