From any perspective, and regardless of who is watching, Sima Yi's actions were those of a staunch ally, demonstrating his utmost effort to support his ally.

Whether in Rome or Parthia, observing Sima Yi at this moment, or rather, observing Sima Yi performing this action, no one would consider a second possibility.

In fact, if Sima Yi hadn't personally revealed such arrangements and plans, Xu Huang would have suspected that Sima Yi harbored treasonous intentions.

After all, you treat me with the respect due to a national hero, and I will treat you with the same respect due to a national hero. If such a thing were to happen, it wouldn't be impossible.

After all, Vologius V's attitude and behavior toward Sima Yi were truly commendable.

Even if there was an element of showmanship involved, it cannot be denied that the behavior and attitude expressed by the other party were truly impressive.

If this were the Han Empire a decade or two ago, such thoughts and actions might have existed, but the Han Empire of today has indeed undergone significant changes.

"That's good. Since Zhongda's idea is like this, then I can rest assured." After understanding the calculations involved, Xu Huang was completely at ease and listened carefully to Sima Yi's arrangements for the next step, knowing what he should do next.

As long as one's core personal values ​​and position remain unchanged, then anything one is unaware of is most likely part of a wise person's strategy.

It is normal to have only a partial understanding of, or even be completely unaware of, the plans of wise men.

If one day he were to gain the ability to see through the entire situation, then without a doubt, there would be a trap involved.

Having witnessed the wisdom and brilliance of various individuals within the Han Empire, Xu Huang gained a very direct understanding of the personal abilities and destructive power possessed by wise men.

Looking back at the several upheavals in Chang'an in the past, which one wasn't accompanied by a large number of wise men making plans?
Each of his schemes resulted in someone facing death up close, and even a master like him would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

"Don't worry, no matter what the final outcome is, as long as Vologius V doesn't leave Ctesiphon, everything is still within acceptable limits, and everything is still under our control." Sima Yi looked up at Ctesiphon in the west, his words revealing confidence.

Confidence based on self-planning and ability.

After years of accumulation and intelligence gathering, based on the characteristics, capabilities, and psychology of various forces, we have deduced and planned, ultimately creating the current situation, a situation that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

And in fact, it was pretty much as Sima Yi had imagined. Although the Han Empire's army was isolated, it continued to supply Parthian soldiers during this period. These Parthian soldiers were trained to a certain extent and carried weapons and wore armor. Even though their numbers were decreasing, it could be said that they were doing their best.

In peacetime, most of the Parthian elite legions would probably not even give this kind of reserve force, which has a certain level of training, a second glance.

However, in today's total war environment, this level of soldier supply is already quite remarkable.

Whether it's understanding military commands, military discipline and organizational coordination, or the equipment and armor they wear, these are things that the Parthian Empire's logistics can hardly provide nowadays.

To some extent, the Parthian Empire has lost its robust logistical system and capabilities. The reason is simple: maintaining the logistics of hundreds of thousands of troops is nearly draining the entire Parthian Empire, making it impossible to allocate significant logistical resources for large-scale training and the widespread supply of weapons and equipment.

If we really had such logistical capabilities, we might as well just send the corresponding soldiers to the battlefield. As long as they survive, they can be considered qualified replacements.

Compared to the other two approaches, the method currently used by Parthia, apart from its relatively high personnel consumption, is quite suitable for Parthia's current national conditions.

The value of human life is far less than the value of equipment.

Even with the Han Empire providing a large amount of weapons, equipment and armor, it still failed to change the minds of most generals and legion commanders within the Parthian Empire, especially many legion commanders and officers who were originally nobles, whose thinking and ideas on this matter were particularly stubborn.

However, these were not a big problem for Sima Yi or the Han Empire.

In any case, the actions taken by the Han Empire at present have already demonstrated its efforts as an ally.

Vologis V's thoughts on the Han Empire, or rather, on Sima Yi's thoughts and actions, gradually became more complex regarding the efforts the Han Empire was making under such a critical situation.

Although the direct involvement of the Han Empire's army led to many misjudgments and differing opinions within Parthia regarding the army's actions, the actual situation suggests that the Han Empire did not make any mistakes and was even quite effective.

As far as Rome is concerned, the actions and efforts of the Han Empire are merely prolonging Parthia's life and cannot change Parthia's current decline and situation, so they are largely ignored.

Or perhaps they're still waiting, waiting for Parthia to become stronger, and then they'll just pack up Parthia and take it away, to eat an even stronger Parthia.

When the army was less than ten kilometers from Ctesiphon, the situation was completely different.

The momentum generated by the Roman army's advance was able to directly press into the interior of Ctesiphon's city walls from such a great distance, forcibly suppressing the city's aura.

Judging from the current results, the strength displayed by the Roman army is definitely beyond the capabilities of the Parthian army to counter.

The fact that the Roman army could generate clouds of mist was so powerful that it could even crush and force back the Parthian army's clouds of mist within the walls of Ctesiphon was truly terrifying.

Everyone who understood this point changed their expression considerably.

It should be noted that Ctesiphon, as the capital of the Parthian Empire, had a resident population of several hundred thousand. Coupled with an army of nearly two hundred thousand, the scale and suppression of the cloud formations they created were unable to suppress the Roman army's cloud formations. Instead, they were suppressed by the Romans. Isn't this a joke?
However, the stark reality is right in front of us, and no matter how much we don't want to admit it, we have no choice but to accept it.

Because this is war, a war of life and death, any negligence could mean the difference between life and death.

Because of this blatant power, the reality it reveals is like a huge pressure, directly pressing down on Parthia, who is like a spring.

Whether Parthia's current potential can accumulate like a spring under pressure and ultimately soar to new heights remains to be seen. (End of Chapter)
