God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"It's not what I imagined?" Lu Yu (Liu Tong) asked politely, then looked up at Helilahe and expressed her doubts as she found a seat and sat down.

Having been confined in this place for so long, with limited contact with people and information, why does Hrithalah make such a statement?

"I've considered all the possibilities, but I really haven't thought of this when asked by a woman." Knowing the customs of the Han Empire, Helilah nodded on the spot and gave his answer.

"I almost forgot, you're in charge of managing and recording historical records, which is quite rare among the Kushans." Lu Yu (Liu Tong) quickly checked the memo in the chat group and soon gained a more comprehensive understanding of the person in front of her.

The term "historian of the Kushan Empire" is quite unfamiliar to most people.

However, the current rulers of the Kushan Empire are ultimately the Yuezhi people, who were influenced by the culture of the Han Empire and thus have their own historical recorders.

Unlike later nations that completely disregarded history, had no history at all, and whose entire record-keeping system was completely interrupted, even relying on the history of other countries to supplement their own history.

The Kushan Empire today is not lacking in this regard at all, and it still attaches great importance to history.

Especially after the events in the Western Regions, the Yuezhi people devoted a great deal of energy and manpower to the recording of history and the translation of their language, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of this work.

The Yuezhi people excelled in demonstrating the principle that shame breeds courage.

“Although I manage the historical records, there isn’t much that can be recorded in them…” Helilah frowned slightly as he looked at Lu Yu (Liu Tong), his thoughts becoming more complicated.

People who conduct interrogations and questionings usually have a good understanding of the person they are questioning and remember the details clearly. It is highly unlikely that someone would need to think about the questioning before arriving at a conclusion.

If it wasn't a deliberately set trap, then this interrogation probably wasn't as complicated as I thought, but I'm afraid it might be more complicated than I imagined.

A simple retreat is a strategic advance, a slight release of goodwill, in order to better test the bottom line and the purpose.

Although probing won't change much, probing in advance will give you more time to think things through and perhaps lead to a better result.

"It's already quite remarkable that the Yuezhi have people capable of recording things. As for what they recorded, I don't really care," Lu Yu (Liu Tong) said casually, waving his hand dismissively.

With her inner energy sphere clone in the Onion Forest region, combined with the information recorded in the chat group, her understanding of the past of the Yuezhi people is no less than that of Helilah.

Even if there are some hidden details you don't know, it's not a big problem.

"Completely unconcerned?" Upon hearing this, Helilah paused for a moment, then recalled the situation from his memory, and nodded, saying with a touch of emotion and approval, "This is indeed the Han Empire, and only the Han Empire could be like this."

The Han Empire's indifference to any adversary is something that would infuriate any enemy.

It's not that the enemy doesn't value you, it's that they completely ignore you. Your efforts and strength are nothing to others, how ridiculous.

However, in the case of the Han Empire, its actions did not seem to have any problems.

Arrogance or haughtiness, from the moment the name of the Han Empire was uttered, the other side was the king of this land, a king who inspired despair and fear. In the past few centuries, the Yuezhi people recorded and witnessed the empire's demise only once, and only once.

Originally, the Yuezhi were capable of holding their own against the Parthian Empire, but they were nearly defeated by a part of the Xiongnu Empire. Before they could recover, the once fearsome Xiongnu Empire was crushed by the Han Empire.

The subsequent incident involving the marriage of a princess to a prince in the Western Regions further demonstrated the strength and domineering nature of the Han Empire.

Explanation?

Only the weak need to explain themselves to the strong, while the strong never need to explain themselves to the weak.

Furthermore, Hlilah, who was unaware of Rahul's recent battle situation after two major defeats in the south, was completely out of sorts.

It was precisely this incorrect mindset that made Hrithalah feel less burdened and stressed, and he didn't have many resistant thoughts or feelings during the communication and exchange process.

But ultimately, he was a historian, and it was unlikely that he could extract any secrets from Hrithalakh.

Lu Yu (Liu Tong) didn't see anything wrong with this; on the contrary, she thought it was quite good.

Those who record history must possess such courage and resilience; in a sense, they are truly qualified.

"You seem to know a lot about the Han Empire. Given the gap between the Kushan Empire and the Han Empire, who do you think will ultimately win?" Lu Yu (Liu Tong) asked with a hint of sincerity, seemingly unconcerned about the other person's identity.

There was no arrogance or domineering air about him; it was just an ordinary question.

However, when faced with this question, Hlilah fell into deep thought.

“Of course it is…” Thinking of his identity, Helilah wanted to blurt out that he was from the Kushan Empire, but because he knew history and had spent some time in Chang’an, he could at least understand the living conditions of the people of Chang’an, even if he couldn’t understand the general situation of the world.

Based on his observations of the lives of ordinary people in Chang'an, he was able to see the vast difference between the two sides.

As for whether everything he saw was fake, Hrithalah did not have such thoughts.

It's been too long, long enough that it's not worth going to such great lengths to give him this kind of understanding.

Even if he believed he had some ability, it was absolutely not worth an empire spending so much manpower and resources to put on a show for him and then ask him such a simple question.

"It seems you already have the answer in your heart. If you don't want to say, I won't force you." Seeing the other party's conflicted look, Lu Yu (Liu Tong) stopped asking.

"Thank you for your understanding." The unspoken words themselves were also a form of attitude. Helira sighed heavily and finally revealed the result: "Given the strength of both sides, the Han Empire will likely be the one to win in the end. Although the Kushan Empire is strong, the gap between them and the Han Empire is simply too great."

Even if both sides were empires, it wouldn't change the gap between them; there are differences even between empires. (End of Chapter)
