God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

If you can't eliminate someone quietly, it means that forcibly eliminating them will most likely bring the matter into the open.

The reality of a Brahmin killing another Brahmin would severely damage another pillar of the Brahmin system: the core principle that lower-level members cannot harm Brahmins, and Brahmins cannot harm Brahmins.

If this core and pillar is lost, then those at the lower levels are more likely to have other ideas.

Since Brahmins can be harmed, then Brahmins will also die at their hands.

If given enough time, and if this ideology becomes more deeply ingrained, then the shackles of centuries-old rigid thinking and dominance will be slowly loosened. What kind of existence will the Brahmins, who are the fewest in number but have the most resources, become then?
The wise men among the Brahmins clearly knew this, so after confirming that a covert solution was ineffective, they began to bring the matter into the open. Through overt procedures and means, they gradually distanced themselves from Rahul, transferred him out of the army, further disbanded the army, disintegrated the fighting capacity of the entire force, weakened the threat posed by the southern army, and continued to undermine the northern army.

Unfortunately, everything changed completely after the arrival of the Han Empire.

Rahul seized the opportunity again and regained power within the army.

Having learned his lesson once, Rahul will never be so easily fooled again.

Rahul, obsessed with military affairs, was unfamiliar with political maneuvering. However, the few years he spent away from the military gave him ample time to think and calculate.

Similarly, this was also the Brahmin superiors who gave quite accurate orders when facing Helilah.

If we can bring them back, then we should bring them back, handle the situation internally, and issue a warning.

If they can't bring them back, then they'll just kill them. After all, the people are on the fringes of the Brahmanical system of governance, so it's quite convenient to either block or suppress information.

As for whether the Han Empire would use this incident for propaganda, the Brahmins were not afraid.

On one side is the Han Empire, and on the other is the Brahmins. After hundreds of years of rigid education, who will the lower classes believe? And who will they accept?

However, this avenue cannot be opened, so for the upper Brahmin class, the best option is naturally to capture Helilah alive and bring him back.

"Three days is enough." Shan Ta'nu calculated the time needed for the other group and then gave them the time they needed to hold out.

One day is spent traveling back and forth, one day is spent gathering information, and one day is spent taking action. With that amount of time, it's more than enough.

“Three days isn’t a long time, and our army has enough rations for three days,” Lebrley said softly, glancing at the cloth bag at his waist.

Because of the short duration of the operation, the entire Kushan army was able to travel light and with minimal supplies.

They carried virtually no logistical supplies, only three days' worth of rations and weapons, and then went to create a disturbance to attract the main force of the Han Empire, thereby delaying the enemy.

The advantages of traveling light are obvious: faster marching speed, quicker reaction time, and the ability to switch between combat and marching states at any time, giving you the initiative in skirmishes.

Even these small advantages require careful calculation from Shan Ta'nu and his men, who strive to maximize their own army's off-field advantages to ensure that the gap between the two sides is narrowed as much as possible during battle. "The enemy is heading straight for our grain-growing areas?" Upon receiving this information, Guan Yu's narrowed eyes widened instantly, radiating a chilling aura.

"What are the Kushan army up to? They finally sent troops to launch an offensive, and not only do they not attack us, they actually want to destroy our grain-growing areas." Facing this direction of march, Zhang Fei complained on the spot, his words full of incomprehension towards the Kushans.

"Perhaps the enemy thinks that by destroying our army's food supplies, they can force our army to retreat due to food shortages." Huang Zhong thought about some books he had read and gave his guess. He added, "Moreover, the areas where we grow food are connected one after another, covering a vast area. When the time is right, simply throwing torches everywhere can cause considerable damage."

Upon hearing this, many people present frowned, but they didn't see anything wrong with it.

Because the terrain was relatively flat and the land was fertile, and because the population of the Han Empire in this area was relatively small, in order to cultivate more wasteland with a smaller population and provide more food.

Naturally, large-scale reclamation and planting were carried out using certain large tools, with the help of animals such as cattle and horses.

While such large-scale reclamation and planting can certainly complete the cultivation of a larger area of ​​land with less manpower, it is also easier and faster to destroy it.

"Since the enemy is in such a hurry, our army cannot show weakness. We should notify our troops to assemble and block their escape route." Guan Yu, after careful consideration, made up his mind and began to mobilize the relevant troops.

"Is this really alright?" Fa Zheng asked, looking at Guo Jia who remained silent, using a secret telepathic technique.

"No problem, there won't be any problems." Guo Jia nodded gently, his expression remaining calm.

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Fa Zheng, being familiar with the situation, naturally knew that the chances of success were high this time, so even if the higher-ups didn't go, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Guo Jia withdrew his gaze, glanced at the north, suppressed the smile on his lips, and regained his composure.

Whatever the outcome of the matter in the North, it will be a good result for them.

As for how this niche country will evolve, it won't change anything about what they are meant to be.

Another needle has been inserted into the empire, further weakening the enemy's potential.

"Since the enemy is advancing with such overwhelming force, our army should engage them in battle." The two men's discussion did not affect Guan Yu's command.

After Guan Yu issued the order, the people, who were already eager to act, immediately obeyed.

Furthermore, this battle was not like a probing battle; only a few legions were deployed to the actual battlefield.

In fact, for Guan Yu, this expedition was the first real attack by his army.

Neither Huang Zhong nor Zhang Fei chose to observe and learn from the sidelines; instead, they actively engaged in the battlefield, leading their legions and preparing for the impending battle. (End of Chapter)
