Chapter 2529
: Almost Done
...
As soon as the word "coalition" was mentioned, even Yan Liang, who did not have a deep understanding of military affairs, felt the difficulty and felt his scalp tingling.
Precisely because he had actually participated in and experienced it, Yan Liang was quite aware of the shortcomings and fatal flaws of the coalition forces.
The former coalition forces' attack on Dong can be said to be a reflection of this aspect.
When those in power are no longer fair and have selfish motives, the armies below will act for their own reasons, whether to preserve their strength or out of resentment. The end result will inevitably be a significant impact on the collective strength of the army.
"Sima Zhongda should be able to be fair and just..." Recalling his lord's actions in uniting the coalition forces, Yan Liang knew that the most important thing was fairness.
Treating everything seriously and fairly may not necessarily bring out the coalition's highest strength, but it can at least enable everyone in the coalition to contribute.
As long as this can be achieved, the current strength of the Han Empire coalition forces will at least not be weaker than that of the Yuan family at this time.
"He is a wise man... a very tactful wise man..." Ju Yi suddenly turned around and looked towards the southeast. He was silent for a while and then gave his answer.
"Then he should be able to discover this. After all, we have precedents as a lesson. This way, we should be able to feel a lot more relaxed." After thinking about the words "top sage", Yan Liang, who was not particularly smart, felt a lot more at ease.
"But because the other party is a wise man, we can't figure it out. Many things are probably not as simple as we think." Ju Yi directly withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at Atratome in the distance.
Under such pressure, he is still thinking of various ways to succeed, save his country and change the country's future. From every angle, he is a well-deserved talent and a true elite of a country.
Unfortunately, such a person is not someone they can reach out to. Is this lucky or unfortunate?
...
In fact, there are indeed many lessons from the past, but in most cases, human beings’ learning and reference to past history can only prove one thing, that is, no lessons have been learned from history.
There are very few people who can truly watch history and reflect on themselves.
A genius like Sima Yi would not deny himself or reflect on himself in most cases even if he had an ordinary past.
Such mistakes have occurred in the past, and they were definitely due to other people's stupidity. How could such a smart person make such a low-level mistake?
Whether it was self-confidence or arrogance, this mentality ultimately affected Sima Yi.
The humility revealed on the outside still cannot conceal the pride in the heart.
No matter who it is, no one can conceal the brilliance displayed by Sima Yi. At least this is the phenomenon revealed in Taixifeng.
No matter whether he was the commander of the Han Empire's army or the emperor Vologases V of the Parthian Empire, no one would underestimate Sima Yi.
"It's almost time. They should also move forward!" Looking at the intelligence collected from various places, Sima Yi showed a trace of happiness on his face. Then he looked at Xu Shu beside him and said softly, "Yuanzhi, it's almost time!"
Xu Shu, who had been mentally prepared for this, nodded easily, knowing and understanding what he should do. With the order issued, the Han Empire army, which was originally stationed thirty miles outside the city of Taixifeng, began to move, making preparations before the expedition, and also preparing for a change of mentality in the event of a war.
We will gradually adjust from the previous training mentality to the state of dealing with war.
Sufficient time and sufficient preparation are enough for the soldiers to slowly adjust their mentality and be as perfect as possible in spirit.
All parties involved who had already prepared for this have made corresponding preparations.
"Great, we're finally ready to start. I've been so idle during this period that my skills have become rusty..." When Guo Fan heard the order to prepare, his words were not afraid of the war at all, but were full of anticipation and excitement.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who were born for war and only excelled at fighting, were most vividly reflected in such casual words.
Even after spending some time together, Duan Yun, who was also influenced by this idea, had a look of recognition on his face.
Compared with other soldiers, they can still farm and grow crops, working and living facing the earth and back to the sky.
It's simply impossible for people like them to do this.
The habit of war and battlefields has occupied most of their lives. It can be said that their proficiency and familiarity with the battlefield is far higher than their level of grain cultivation.
"That's true. Although Vologases V is a very generous person and has never treated us badly in terms of food, we should not be grateful for what we have received. We have taken so many things but have not helped much. It is a pity that this time, unless something unexpected happens, the other party will probably not let us help..." Li Jue directly described the embarrassing situation they were facing.
Even after the verbal baptism in the past, Li Jue's vengeful behavior was not changed. Good is good, bad is bad, it is obvious at a glance, and naturally there is no need for too much persuasion.
Even though he had a heavy burden on his back, Li Jue was still able to face it calmly, looking at Vologases V and making what he thought was a satisfactory reward.
"We need to train soldiers and broaden their horizons. In fact, they need it too, perhaps even more than we do... If the soldiers we have accumulated with great difficulty cannot be transformed into real power, the loss will be huge..." Duan Yun estimated what he knew about the soldiers of the Parthian Empire and gave a rough guess.
"I just don't know how many troops they will send. If the number of people is too small, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the other side?" Fan Chou narrowed his eyes slightly, recalled the fighting effectiveness of the Roman legions, and shook his head gently.
Given the huge differences in the military systems of the two sides, Vologases V had no choice but to rely on the number of soldiers to win the war.
Only by completing the transformation of soldiers, allowing them to adapt to the battlefield, and then become the backbone of the battlefield, can soldiers have a clear and well-recorded promotion path.
...
"Is Vologases V ready to send troops? Or is he going to participate in the expedition personally? It is indeed surprising, but this is not bad either. It is a very good opportunity." Xi Zhong turned his head to look at Cao Chun and Cao Zhen, then nodded slightly, asking the two to make further preparations and wait for new orders to be issued.
As for him, there are other things to do...
