Chapter 3597
The Yuan Family is Not Equal to a Noble Family
...
Both Ju Yi and Yan Liang agree with Shen Pei's statement.
The power of the Bingzhou faction, even if it consists of only one or two legions, is far greater than theirs.
For Ju Yi, the Trapped Camp possessed immense power, far surpassing the Vanguard Force he already had, but it was not the power he desired.
If it's only for oneself, then transcending the current situation and breaking through to the top of the world is a true demonstration of strength.
However, for the sake of Yuan Shao, for the sake of the Yuan family, and for the sake of the Yuan family's golden age, the Vanguard must not become the next miracle, and must not become a miracle achieved by tearing apart the power of the army's spirit.
Military spirit is military spirit, and miracles are miracles. They can be one or the other, but Ju Yi cannot afford to gamble.
Ju Yi, who had already failed once, knew very well that he would not have a second chance.
In the past, because we were all Han subjects, we were given a second chance. But this time, having come abroad, there will be no chance for us to have another chance because of our status as Han subjects.
Despite not being particularly outstanding in strength, Ju Yi was still proud, even arrogant.
This proud to the point of arrogance allowed Ju Yi to perform exceptionally well, but it also burdened him with an unimaginable level of arrogance and a level of self-respect that others could not understand.
Perhaps for some people, the ability to persevere despite repeated defeats is a sign of unwavering determination, but for someone like Ju Yi, failure is a tremendous disgrace, an unbearable disgrace.
"Aldashir is indeed excellent, and Ataltomei's performance was even more unexpected. It is indeed of great reference value." Looking at the state of the two, the power they wielded, and the distortion of this world with their legions and will, Ju Yi said that he had also learned a lot.
Even without the existence of the Imperial Will, and without its assistance, the Military Soul Legion still emerged.
This is good news, extremely important good news for Ju Yi!
This means that the Yuan family today still has the qualifications and ability to embrace the Military Soul Legion, the foundation of the Spring and Autumn Period's prosperity, and the true potential to build an empire.
If the Yuan family continues to work towards the battlefield positioning of the Fourth Legion, based on the Vanguard and the Halberdier Legion, then the pressure on the main battlefield will be much less.
In battlefields of this caliber, not only will those who actually participate in the war grow significantly, but those who observe from the sidelines and those who contemplate and strategize will also experience considerable growth.
Without knowing the existing results or the final war situation, one relies on one's own abilities to estimate and judge, and then compares it with what has not yet happened in reality, growing through these mistakes and judgments.
“It’s a pity that these two men were destined to be useless to the Yuan family. They were loyal subjects of Parthia, or rather, loyal subjects of Vologius V.” When discussing this aspect, Shen Pei’s usually expressionless face showed agreement.
Shen Pei held loyalty in high regard.
Not only were they similar in personality and values, but more importantly, Shen Pei greatly admired the loyalty of his subjects through their actions.
The more you appreciate someone, the more you understand that such a person is unattainable.
"To serve my lord, I would gladly die ten thousand deaths!" Ju Yi murmured softly, deeply moved by this sentiment. A true friend is hard to find in life, and for a subject to encounter a wise ruler who believes in him is a blessing indeed.
Whether it's themselves, or Atlatomé and Ardashir, they can all be considered lucky in this respect.
Everyone has encountered their own enlightened ruler, and everyone is doing their utmost for him.
Such kindness deserves to be repaid with one's life!
They have this mindset and this idea, and even more so, this behavior.
Looking at the battlefield, Ju Yi understood that Atalanta had absolutely no chance of survival.
As for Ardashir on the outskirts, if he wanted to leave, Rome's First Auxiliary Legion simply couldn't stop him.
Even with a larger troop size and increasing combat power in the process of bloody battles, it was basically wishful thinking for the Roman First Auxiliary Legion, which was a heavy infantry force, to stop Ardashir's high-speed cavalry.
The fact that both sides can still maintain a high level of casualties is entirely due to Ardashir leading his legions in a desperate fight.
Ardashir, who has the autonomy to choose his battlefield, is Ju Yi's primary target.
Ardashir is very strong, and the Ardashir Legion is also very strong.
However, after this battle, we can roughly estimate how much strength the Ardashir Legion, which will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, will still possess.
"What do you think of the Ardashir Legion?" Shen Pei glanced at Ju Yi, understood Ju Yi's thoughts, and then calmly said, "Whether the other side chooses to retreat or not, it is ultimately their choice. We don't need to force Sima Zhongda to eliminate the hidden dangers just because of his schemes. The Yuan family is a powerful family, and a powerful family is still a powerful family, but the Yuan family is not the same as a powerful family."
Ju Yi, somewhat surprised by these words, looked at Shen Pei's serious expression and then nodded.
According to Sima Yi's arrangements and his plans for the Parthian Empire, it would be best if all the Parthian soldiers on the battlefield were wiped out here, with no one able to leave alive.
Then Rome will be able to present its terrifying victory of absolute annihilation to the entire army and the Roman Senate. In addition, the plunder of Parthia's wealth will satisfy the core class and key personnel of the Roman Empire, making subsequent negotiations and communications much easier.
As for the Han Empire, without this group of core fanatics who were absolutely loyal to Parthia, or rather, loyal to Vologius V, it would be difficult for the remaining people to regroup and form a new Parthian Empire, even if they had the concept of the Parthian Empire.
At that time, the Han Empire could use the pretext of being an ally to artificially intervene in the cleanup and post-war reconstruction of the Parthian battlefield.
In this process, winning over the people, taking in the populace, and building power are all natural and simple things.
However, if the core Parthian army left the battlefield during this war, then regardless of whether Vologius V was present, they would always carry the Parthian banner, both physically and spiritually, which would affect the subsequent rule of the Han Empire over Central Asia and the rule of the aristocratic families over Central Asia.
"In that case, tell them to put away the crossbows." Looking back at the vanguard troops who had already completed their assembly, Ju Yi relayed the order.
Upon receiving the order, the vanguard, after performing maintenance, skillfully removed the crossbow strings and placed the fine steel crossbows onto the carriage, beginning another round of storage to gather dust. (End of Chapter)
