God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The continuous appearance of northern armies and the constant stream of reinforcements appeared on Yan Yan's desk, with new developments appearing almost every hour.

The fact that the location was constantly changing every hour was enough to reveal the speed and attitude of the reinforcements.

Yan Yan was quite happy about this, and it also reduced her pressure considerably.

As long as we can hold out and persevere, the arrival of reinforcements will inevitably change the course of the war, and could even lead to a counter-offensive, allowing us to reclaim the passes belonging to the Han Empire and establish a solid defensive base.

After several encounters with Rahul, Yan Yan gained a thorough understanding of his enemy's abilities and the gap between them.

After some honest reflection, Yan Yan realized that the difference in command between the two sides was so great that even if soldiers could make up for it, the enemy had a numerical advantage. Coupled with the narrow and not-so-spacious terrain, Yan Yan really couldn't see a future where victory was assured.

In this terrain, a stalemate between the two sides for a year or two is not a problem at all.

Despite having fewer troops and poorer command skills, he was able to hold off the enemy's top fighters for nearly four months.

Put yourself in his shoes. If the opponent is stronger and has more men, he can naturally hold out for longer. In fact, if the opponent doesn't change his generals, the fight could go on forever.

This is not a good thing; on the contrary, it is a hard fact to accept.

Delaying in this place for too long would be an unbearable burden for both Yizhou and the Han Empire.

"Either we have an elite force here that can crush the enemy with overwhelming power and fearless courage, or we can only wait..." Looking at the Kushan army retreating once again after their failed siege, Yan Yan's face turned pale, and his expression was not good at all. Even his eyes showed a hint of gloom.

"Wait? How long will that take?" Wu Yi rubbed his cheeks to relieve his fatigue and tension, while expressing his doubts.

Changing generals on the battlefield is a major taboo in military strategy, especially when one's own side has the advantage. Doing so will only lead to greater chaos.

After playing for so long, Wu Yi no longer considered his opponent to be stupid, even though he felt that his opponent wasn't particularly smart.

Even a fleeting moment of brilliance from the Kushan army could inflict significant damage on them.

If it weren't for the fact that the civil officials in Yizhou were quite reliable and capable in preventing accidents and devising strategies, they might not have been able to hold on until now.

"I don't know then, but I don't think the Kushans would make such a mistake. We can't really expect them to replace Zhao Kuo, can we?" Yan Yan chuckled twice, her words devoid of any expectation.

Hoping the other party will make such a mistake is like hoping a meteorite falls from the sky and kills them; that might actually increase the chances of that happening later...

"Has His Majesty still not made a decision?" Rahul looked at the expert standing in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked in a relaxed and polite manner.

It wasn't because of the other party's strength, race, or social class, but simply because the other party represented Vasudeva I, nothing more.

"Your Majesty needs to wait a while longer, until we can understand the specifics," the envoy said to the respectful Rahul, explaining the reason in an extremely gentle tone. The Kushan Empire sending an envoy to the Han Empire to marry a Han princess was not something to be concealed; on the contrary, it was something to be widely publicized.

If it doesn't succeed, so be it; a little publicity can be considered as winning people's hearts in advance.

If successful, Vasudeva I's prestige, status, and even power would expand further.

Especially after personally experiencing the help from other branches, Vasudeva I understood more and more that marrying a princess of the Han Empire was an absolutely politically correct thing to do.

Whether it's to strengthen their own power or to maintain their rule, this is something they must do, and have no choice but to do.

If he succeeds, then completely unifying the Kushan Empire, seizing power in his own hands, and becoming the greatest emperor of the Kushan Empire will no longer be just a dream, no longer just a false future, but a future that will inevitably come true.

For this purpose, Vasudeva I spent a great deal of manpower and resources, and prepared an extremely generous dowry.

However, despite such thorough preparation, even meticulous planning to avoid any unexpected situations, an accident still occurred.

"Has His Majesty still not given up his desire for the Han Empire's princess?" Rahul genuinely didn't understand what was so special about the Han Empire's princess, and couldn't grasp the meaning behind it at all. However, as a supporter of Vasudeva I, he still offered his opinion, "Press the army further forward, closer to the Han Empire's territory, let the Han Empire understand our power, and make them consider the corresponding consequences, thus enabling His Majesty to achieve all of this..."

Rahul didn't know the reason why his emperor wanted to marry the princess of the Han Empire, but all he needed to do was firmly support him.

Whether it's out of interest or for some real reason, it doesn't matter, as long as the final goal is achieved.

"The envoy team has been out for several months and there has been no news since. Therefore, His Majesty is preparing to send a second envoy team. I hope that the general can perform even better and let the Han Empire witness our greatness and the greatness of the empire!" The envoy looked at Rahul with a serious, even fanatical, expression, saying what Vasudeva I had said.

"Understood!" After a quick mental review, Rahul roughly understood what he needed to do.

It was nothing more than fighting harder and better on the battlefield, making the Han Empire fear the power of the Kushans.

What cannot be obtained through negotiation, then the iron fist of war shall suffice, and in this respect, he excels.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, General!" Seeing Rahul's serious expression, the messenger happily gave his instructions and then said, "Now that you understand, General, I'll take my leave."

The messenger, encountering no obstacles, quickly left the army camp and headed straight southeast.

That direction is where the Kushan Empire's naval forces are located.

There, the strongest power in the entire ocean exists, as does the strongest person on the sea.

You can't get what you want by force alone; you can't achieve it through land warfare. (End of Chapter)
