God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"Providing this much information is already very good." Sima Yi did not ask for anything more, and was already very satisfied with everything that Esalenia could do.

Whether it's fate or not, it's up to you to believe.

This situation can also be explained and understood by applying the system of spiritual talents.

After all, within the system of spiritual talents, there are corresponding methods for deciphering observations and even foreseeing the future.

In addition to observing this part of the information, we can learn a lot of information in advance. Based on this information, we can take targeted countermeasures or change the established future from a realistic perspective.

If the future shaped by fate were unchangeable, Sima Yi might still be somewhat wary of such power. However, after learning that this power could easily be turned against him by fate, he no longer felt any fear.

Instead of indulging in the power woven by fate, or the power of mutual interference, it would be more effective to use one's own wisdom to plan and control things on a practical level.

The feedback brought about by the illusory and special power is also illusory, and it is difficult to tell whether it is real or not.

Therefore, once his side had the corresponding means of observation, Sima Yi's level of attention to it decreased significantly.

At least unlike Vologius V, he would not regard this power as an important force, but rather as an observable force, a means and method of advance observation.

"I hope the information I can provide will still be helpful to you, and I also hope that everything you promised will come true." Seeing Sima Yi's reply, Esalenia frowned slightly and said with some helplessness.

Now that things have come to this, there's much less that Esalenia can do on Sima Yi's territory, but there's certainly much more that she can learn.

I not only learned problem-solving skills, but also the corresponding problem-solving thinking methods, which led to significant progress in dealing with problems and handling affairs.

It also involves handling people's livelihood and government affairs, as well as intelligence gathering on topography and landforms, etc.

In terms of intelligence gathering and organization, Sima Yi and the Han army were ultimately outsiders, and the scope of their access and the intelligence information they could obtain were ultimately limited.

With a local involved, the difficulty of the task will be greatly reduced, and the intelligence gathered will be significantly improved.

Therefore, while Sima Yi kept Aesarenia hidden to avoid exposure, he also relied on Aesarenia's abilities to gather intelligence on Parthia.

Even when meeting with Aesarenia, Sima Yi was extremely cautious, fearing that an irreversible situation might arise.

This meeting, besides being about understanding the current situation and Parthia's plans for the future, was more about stabilizing the situation.

"The Roman army has reached Ctesiphon. They will not give up until they capture Ctesiphon. And with the strength and fighting power of Rome, they will surely take Ctesiphon. Parthia's fighting power alone is simply not enough to stop Rome's advance." Sima Yi shook his head slightly and said softly, "Even if we add our fighting power, we still cannot stop their advance."

Of course, it's not that the Han Empire's army was incapable of stopping Rome, but rather that the Han Empire's army in Central Asia was simply unable to withstand Rome's full-scale offensive.

On the one hand, it's unstoppable, and on the other hand, it's unnecessary.

The Han Empire had already incurred huge sunk costs in Central Asia, and continuing to do so would be counterproductive.

If it were merely a matter of aristocratic methods and practices, Sima Yi wouldn't have said anything even if the sacrifices were greater. To gain something, one must first give something in return.

To reap the benefits, one must accept the enormous costs involved.

However, this approach is not advisable now.

The armies and actual power they possessed were actually owned by various feudal lords, and were nominally under the name of the Han Empire, having little to do with the aristocratic families.

Excessive consumption is not a good thing for Sima Yi.

If he remains under the Han Empire's name and has no connection with the Sima family, then even if it comes at a huge cost, it's acceptable.

Sima Yi, who still harbored thoughts of the Sima family, would naturally not do such a thing, because it would easily burden the Sima family with enormous political pressure and costs, and the price they would have to pay would be far greater than the benefits they would gain now.

Having experienced several years, Sima Yi had made significant progress compared to his past self in understanding when to do what.

"So my thoughts are very simple, and my requirements for the future are also very simple. If all else fails, I hope the Han Empire can step in." Esalenya said with a very serious look and great care.

From a national perspective, his act of contacting allies privately was indeed not good, since even allies cannot remain allies forever.

However, after careful consideration, Esalenya himself did not believe that there was anything wrong with his actions.

If Vologius V's actions succeed, the empire will naturally be reborn from the ashes, and Parthia will naturally become better. In that case, he alone will have to pay the price for his actions.

Moreover, paying such a price could, to some extent, damage the relationship between Parthia and the Han Empire, making the Parthians more cautious about the Han Empire.

After Parthia was reborn from the ashes and gained the corresponding strength, such rifts and caution are more conducive to the relationship between empires.

However, if Vologius V's ideas and actions fail, then at least his actions will protect a portion of the Parthians and their people.

Therefore, Esalenia, who holds this position, does not feel that there is anything wrong with his behavior.

If the empire wins, it will only mean death; if the empire loses, at least the people can be saved.

It was precisely because of this idea that Sima Yi found it very convenient to use when talking to the other party.

Because everyone has their own goals and pursuits, the basis for cooperation is established.

"Rest assured, regardless of whether His Majesty Emperor Vologius V wins or loses, we will certainly fulfill our promise." Sima Yi nodded slightly, once again acknowledging the previous verbal agreement and stating it openly and honestly.

As for the true outcome of Vologius V's victory or defeat, in fact, when he intervened, there was only one possibility.

You can procrastinate, you can persist for longer, but you can never succeed.

If Volognes V succeeds, the nature and outcome will be completely different. (End of Chapter)
