Chapter 2593
: Only Once in Life
...
Ganasis still retained due respect for the Han Empire, especially Li Jue and others. Before the battle, he also sent relevant messengers to explain the situation and express his opinions.
But for Li Jue, the suggestion put forward by Ganasis was very tempting, but since he had not agreed before, how could he agree now?
What's more, Li Jue had enough confidence and self-knowledge in his own mind to understand that he didn't need to make decisions on such matters.
Sima Yi, who was theoretically responsible for this, became silent when he saw Usnafaso.
Dividing Parthia into two is indeed a good idea. Whether from the perspective of the country or the family, it is not a disadvantage, and it can also save a lot of time.
If he really had the strength to take on all of this, or in other words, if he could really get the wholehearted loyalty of his troops, he might agree.
As for betraying the alliance and covenant, what's the matter with that person?
The paper signed on the covenant is certainly a constraint, but it is also just an implicit credibility cost.
If there are real benefits in front of you, how could you possibly give up these things?
Being able to stick to these things shows that the value of these things is not as important as the country's reputation.
On the other hand, if the benefits gained are greater than the country's credibility, then the country's credibility is not something that cannot be abandoned.
The prerequisite for being shameless is to have a strong foundation of strength and be able to ignore the cost of losing credibility.
However, for Sima Yi at this time, this was an impossible thing and something that could not be achieved.
Although there are not many troublemakers, as long as they exist, they will affect the performance of one's strength, and naturally one will not have the strength to sit at the same table with the other party.
"Sorry, the empire's promise also needs strength to protect, and the same goes for the alliance!" Sima Yi shook his head and directly rejected Usnafaso's proposal.
Seeing Sima Yi reject this proposal, everyone present had different expressions.
Xu Shu, Wei Yan and others were used to it. Sima Yi and Vologases V had such a good relationship, how could they give up all this for a verbal promise?
Sun Quan looked surprised, not understanding why he should give up such a tempting request. This was half of the land of the Parthian Empire. Although it was only a verbal promise, wasn't the commission proposed by Parthia also a verbal promise?
Comparing the two, it is obvious that the requirements put forward by Usna Faso are less difficult and more likely to be achieved.
In terms of the probability of success, it would be a piece of cake to cooperate with Rome and directly cut off the Parthian Empire. However, it would be difficult to defeat the Roman Empire again and then get that enclave.
After all, the strength currently displayed by the Romans is obviously superior to theirs. Wouldn't it be better to stop quickly while they still have a certain advantage in the current situation?
As smart as Xi Zhong was, he clearly saw the other meaning behind Sima Yi's answer and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Sima Zhongda is the same person as them, and not as fair as he appears to be.
The reason why justice and fairness are maintained is probably because of the people present. There is no other way to maintain the balance caused by this gap.
"Really? I understand!" Usnafaso thought about it carefully and really didn't understand why Sima Yi rejected him?
But this is the reality, there must be a reason, right? !
After much thought, the only reason that comes to my mind is probably the pride and arrogance of the empire.
Young people born in the empire believe that they are invincible and that the empire is also invincible. With such beliefs and obsessions, they can be considered young people who can move forward. After a simple and polite farewell, Usnafaso also left the Han Empire's military camp and began to return.
As for the threats and angry gazes he received during this process, Usnafaso didn't care at all. Instead, he took advantage of the time he was away to use his free time to casually and occasionally glance at the Parthian Empire's military camp.
Although we know that such an arrangement may be changed, it is precisely this kind of arrangement that wastes the most time. Even if we want to change it, it will only be a small change.
Based on such a reality, taking advantage of these accidental factors and remembering these locations in advance will naturally be beneficial for later night attacks and blasting.
Throughout the night, the strength of both the Parthian army and the Roman Empire army would decline.
However, if they were prepared in advance and went all out, turning the night attack into a decisive battle, the effect would naturally be much stronger than Parthia, and it might even be decided in one battle.
Parthia, who also followed the procedure, ignored Usnafaso's behavior and didn't even notice it.
Having been stationed here for a long time, their military camp can be said to be very complete. Even if everyone else knows about it, it would be extremely difficult to attack them, so they have nothing to fear.
The pride and faith between them allowed them to maintain a certain level of dignity.
Although this kind of face is largely due to the existence of the Han Empire, this unspoken rule is followed.
When two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys. What a regular style of painting...
After all, in the Han Empire, the price of beheading envoys was well-known throughout Central Asia.
Of course, it is precisely because they know enough that the Kushan Empire, for example, knows that when facing the envoys of the Han Empire, no matter whether they kill them or endure them, the final result will still be war.
In that case, it would be better to be tough and just kill the messenger first!
However, that was when other countries faced the Han Empire. At least the Han Empire still maintained due procedures and face when facing envoys from other countries.
Usnafaso returned to the military camp and saw the Eastern Duke Ganasis at this time.
"Duke, the Han Empire did not agree to our request!" Usnafaso said with regret.
It would be great if their idea could really be realized. After all, the way they look at the Han people is much more pleasing to the eye than the way they look at the Parthians.
In any case, the people of the Han Empire had black hair and black eyes like them, while the Parthians had strange hair that was exactly the same as the surrounding barbarians and was not pleasing to the eye at all.
"It's normal to disagree. After all, the other side is also an empire, the proud and powerful Han Empire, which has never lacked courage or fighting spirit!" Ganasis recalled the previous War of Ctesiphon, then shook his head slightly.
This is the only time in your life when you will experience such a huge loss ratio.
