Chapter 959 Dilemma

The battle between Han and Hungary naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

The collision between the dominant Han court and the invincible Xiongnu attracted great attention from both the surrounding small countries and the other three empires.

The countries in the Western Regions and the small countries surrounding the Northern Xiongnu are all uneasy and in constant panic, and many are ready to change their gates at any time.

As a weak country, their own way of survival is to rely on strong countries. Once the Northern Xiongnu or Da Chu are defeated, many of them will have to make other plans.

The three major empires are paying attention to this battle, naturally to see the reality of the two countries and to find allies.

The Parthian Empire, faced with constant invasions from Rome, as well as internal and external troubles, as emperor Vorogis V, was already beyond his capabilities at this time.

As if it was a predetermined fate, the situation faced by the Parthian Empire today is almost the same as that of Kushan at this time and the Han Dynasty of this era.

Internal disputes between the royal family and the nobles continued, and they killed each other. The local nobles were also ready to move, and they were in a state of disintegration. The failure of the war with Rome not only caused the prestige of the emperor Vologis V to be greatly reduced, but also caused the treasury to be empty and the people's livelihood to be in decline.

The Parthian royal family is a "foreign nation", and the local Persians are not completely loyal to them. With the current situation, there is naturally endless resentment among the people in the country.

"Your Majesty, the results of the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns are out." Modidas held a piece of information in both hands and quickly stepped into the palace.

"How?" Vorogis V didn't care at all about Modidas' transgression. He directly took the information and opened it, scanning it while asking.

"Invincible and undefeated, the Han Dynasty and the Huns fought to a draw. But..." Modidas stopped talking.

"The Huns can't win, right?"

Vorogis V was not a stupid person to be able to become the emperor of Parthia. He knew Modidas's hidden meaning very well.

"Yes." Modidas nodded slightly: "The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu are just like Rome and I rest in peace. Although the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty drew a draw in this battle, I don't need to explain the reason. I believe your Majesty also knows it. The Han Dynasty Prison

The Xiongnu, on the other hand, take the initiative and can attack, retreat or defend. The Xiongnu, although they appear to be powerful and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Han Dynasty, are actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They have a weak foundation and are probably no match for them at all."

Although Parthia is an empire, it is dominated by nomadic people. It is somewhat similar to the Xiongnu and is good at cavalry. However, compared with the Xiongnu, Parthia is much richer. Its advantages in population and wealth enable Parthia to support tens of thousands of people.

The armored cavalry of the unit. After all, it was a majestic empire that could fight Rome back and forth in the early stage. The strength of Anxi is still impressive.

"Although the battle between Han and Hungary has little to do with my peace, there are many things we can learn from it. Your Majesty, it's time for my peace to change." Modidas sighed lightly.

Among the four empires, the overall strength of the Parthian Empire is stronger than that of Kushan, ranking third. However, compared with the other three empires, the Parthian Empire is indeed too loose internally, with a ruling system like a tribal alliance.

It is difficult for Anxi to form a synergy. Especially under such circumstances of internal and external troubles, the shortcomings of this system are fully exposed.

The lack of control over his subordinates made Vologis V unable to move at all after losing his prestige, like a puppet.

There are also many loyal ministers and capable men in Anxi, and they can certainly see where the problem lies. Someone as loyal and sincere as Modidas dares to point it out directly.

"This matter is too big, let me think about it for a while." After hearing this, King Vologis V slowly paced back and forth, but finally said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, we must break it off. If it is not resolved now, my peace will only get worse and worse. In a few decades, I may be in danger of overthrowing." Modidas said anxiously.

Due to epidemics and other reasons, Rome has managed to slow down its attention and attacks on Parthia over the years. However, the situation of Parthia has not improved, but has become worse. Domestic conflicts have become more acute and the struggle has become more intense.

, it has reached a point where it is difficult to deal with it.

Modidas knew very well that even if Anxi could sustain itself for another few decades with the foundation accumulated over hundreds of years, if no changes were made, it would be inevitable to be replaced.

Vorogis V is not a courageous monarch. Although the contradictions in Anxi are now obvious, they have not yet completely intensified. If strong medicine is used as Modidas said, the situation may be reversed.

, but it may also be in danger of overturning.

The already old King Vorogis V did not want to make dangerous moves, but only wanted to survive this period safely without leaving any stain on himself. As for the deterioration of the situation, it will naturally be borne by future generations, and he did not want to take responsibility.

"This matter will be discussed later."

No matter how much Modidas tried to persuade him, Vorogis V always remained silent about the changes.

After some attempts to dissuade him failed, Modidas felt exhausted mentally and physically, so he had to retreat and do the next best thing.

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to change, I will not mention it further. However, now that the Han Dynasty has intervened in the struggle in Central Asia, the situation has changed. Should I form an alliance with it?"

"Han Dynasty?" Vorogis V said in a complicated tone.

His mood was the same as that of the previous emperor of Kushan, and he could be called a brother in distress.

When Kuishang was almost at his peak, he wanted to jump, but Ban Chao pinned him down and rubbed him on the ground with one hand. And An'an also felt the power of the Han Dynasty at the beginning. Almost all the powerful countries in Central Asia were abused by Ban Chao. The most important thing is that

Ban Chao doesn't have many Han soldiers in his hands, they are basically weak brigades borrowed from small countries.

After the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, it opened up the Western Regions and made friends with Parthia. Naturally, Parthia also wanted to show off its national strength and led 20,000 elite cavalry to greet the Han envoys.

As a result, the Han envoys were left with the impression that they had many strange objects but weak soldiers.

There was no way. At that time, the Han Dynasty's opponent was the Northern Huns who were at their peak. They often had 100,000 cavalry, and Anxi's strength was really not taken seriously. A majestic empire was rated as weak in the Han history records.

Even though the Northern Huns were now in dire straits, Anxi did not dare to take action. On the one hand, it was because of the pressure from Rome, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the fighting power of the Northern Huns.

War cannot be won by having more soldiers and better armor. The current Northern Xiongnu, in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, equipment, etc., are not worth mentioning in front of Anxi, and they are very poor.

But in a fight, An'an is really not sure of victory. Both sides are mainly cavalry, and their tactics are relatively similar. The Northern Huns' ferocity and near-peak cavalry combat skills far exceed those of An'an. In the past small-scale frictions between the two sides,

An Anxi did not take any advantage, which is why both parties have always been at peace with each other.
