As for Xu Shu and Cheng Yu, they had met each other when they were in Yingchuan, but at that time it was Cheng Yu who was chasing Xu Shu. Now they no longer rely on force to survive, but rely on their brains, so they both feel a little "" after meeting each other. Recalling the past, the years are thick with vicissitudes." Of course, that is nonsense.
It was probably the excitement of watching others fight life and death while watching the excitement from behind, especially for wise men like Xu Shu and Cheng Yu who already had the instinct of counselors.
Chen Xi did not eavesdrop on the exchange between Liu Bei and Cao C, and to be honest, he did not want to get involved. Chen Xi believed that the two of them could solve their own problems on their own. However, before Chen Xi got excited about chatting, Liu Bei Call him over.
Similarly, Xun Yu was summoned. Chen Xi and Xun Yu looked at each other. Chen Xi spread his hands with a lazy look like I don't want to go there. However, Xun Yu rode forward on his horse. Chen Xi curled his lips and could only Followed.
"Okay, now my most capable civil servants are here, and we can have a good talk." Cao C looked at Liu Bei and said, "I tell you it's hard to explain clearly."
"Zichuan, it's up to you." Liu Bei didn't say anything. He just patted Chen Xi on the shoulder. Chen Xi looked at Xun Yu helplessly. He really didn't want to quarrel with Xun Yu. If he tried to reason, Chen Xi might still quarrel with him. But Xun Yu.
"Marquis Chen, who do you think owns the world today?" Xun Yu asked.
Cao C's look made Xun Yu understand. However, Chen Xi didn't understand Liu Bei's actions at all, but it didn't matter. At worst, he was just messing around.
"The world belongs to the people of the Han Dynasty." Chen Xi said naturally. He was very satisfied with the word Han. Just like the Tang Dynasty, it had successfully penetrated into the blood of Yan and Huang, so Chen Xi had not thought about changing the name of another country. .
"Then Marquis Chen thinks whose fault was it that the world was in chaos ten years ago." Xun Yu didn't say how Chen Xi answered, and directly changed the question. Chen Xi glanced at Xun Yu's expression and couldn't tell. Joy and anger.
"Well, you can't ask like that. If you ask one question, at least I should ask one." Chen Xi said angrily. There is an ultimate answer to this question. Let Cao Mengde see the ultimate answer pattern of this question. It is impeccable!
"Then please ask Marquis Chen." When Xun Yu heard what Chen Xi said, he thought that Chen Xi was unwilling to directly mention the former Emperor Huan Ling, the Ten Constant Attendants, his relatives, and the powerful landlords in front of the two of them, so he didn't get too excited. force.
"Cao Sikong, who do you think is to blame for the ten years of chaos in the world?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Sikong and said solemnly, "Gong Xuande has the answer to this question. I hope to know your answer. If your answer can Convince me, I will pass all your suggestions next, and I can also help you suppress the one you find most objectionable."
Liu Ye has been eavesdropping from a distance. When Liu Bei and Cao C called people before, Liu Ye started to pay attention here. When he heard Xun Yu's question, Liu Ye remembered the original answer, and at the beginning Liu Ye thought That answer was tricky, but now I recognize that answer more and more.
Originally, when Xun Yu heard Chen Xi attack Cao C with his spear and shield, he laughed at Chen Xi's childish temperament. But when Chen Xi finished speaking, Xun Yu's expression became much more serious, and Chen Xi was not joking.
"What Zichuan said is what I said." Liu Bei smiled and said, "Xun Shangshu can also give me a few pointers. There is no need to let Brother Meng De answer alone."
When Xun Yu heard this, his eyes were slightly closed, and he instantly understood that this issue was not simple things like Emperor Huanling, Shi Changshi, relatives, and powerful people, but it might have a very profound side, and he couldn't help but lower his head and think about it.
Cao Cao lowered his head and thought deeply, but before Xun Yu could speak, Cao Cao himself spoke, starting from the root cause of Guangwu's founding of the country, to his relatives and eunuchs, and then to the land annexation of powerful families, as well as natural disasters and so on.
Objectively speaking, Cao C's answer has covered the root cause of the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so after finishing speaking, Cao C looked at Liu Bei extremely calm.
"Actually, it's useless to say that. If I were born ten years earlier, the world wouldn't be like this." Liu Bei looked at Cao C and said, what did he mean? Cao C didn't react.
But then Cao C's face was shocked. He suddenly understood what Liu Bei meant, and looked at Liu Bei with a hint of shock.
"To tolerate Yu Nei, you must at least bear Yu Nei's mistakes." Xun Yu said with a wry smile, "To a certain extent, for a person who aspires to the world, it is indeed the most correct answer, but for us This is the most unacceptable answer."
"It seems that Cao Sikong understands and accepts it." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Indeed, I was stupid. I said so much without even saying a word to you." Cao C had regained his composure at this time, and the aura faintly exuding from his body was no weaker than Liu Bei's.
"Originally I wanted to discuss it with you, but your words have already explained a lot of problems. If you want that position, I, Cao Mengde, will be the first to stand in front of you." Cao C's eyes were calm. , said to Liu Bei without any joy or anger.
"That position is probably that important in your eyes." Liu Bei raised the corner of his mouth, suddenly feeling proud of the others.
The moment Liu Bei spoke, Chen Xi followed suit and said, "Cao Sikong, in addition to fighting for the Han Dynasty, he probably also has obsessions in his heart."
Cao C stared at Liu Bei and Chen Xi, his eyes extremely sharp at this moment, "Liu Xuande, do you still remember your original promise?"
"Remember, then you still remember your promise?" Liu Bei said with a smile.
"I have never violated it." Cao C said solemnly.
"I have never violated it either." Liu Bei said with a smile, much more relaxed than Cao C.
"Today..." Xun Yu was about to say something, but Cao C stretched out his hand to stop Xun Yu's voice. Then he looked at Liu Bei and said, "Xuan De, is this your choice?"
"Brother Meng De, if I tell you today that you will be your general to conquer the west of Han Dynasty, the world will be settled, and the emperor will still be the emperor. How do you choose?" Liu Bei said very solemnly at this moment. For him, returning power is There is nothing that Yu Jun cannot accept. As long as Liu Xie is still above his level, Liu Bei doesn't mind.
The world is so big, and there are always people who want to step out, so Liu Xuande, as the first one to step out, conquer the world for the Han Dynasty, and measure the world for the Han Dynasty, there is nothing unacceptable.
Liu Bei has already figured it out. The clan surnamed Liu has not failed him, and he has not failed the clan surnamed Liu. The Central Plains are the Central Plains of the Emperor. Liu Bei will conquer the world. Even if he falls on the road to conquer the world, Liu Bei will not be able to conquer the world. I am confident that I will have the face to meet my ancestors.
Cao C looked at Liu Bei's expression. He didn't know why he could feel the sincerity in Liu Bei's words, but as the leader of a force, he absolutely could not believe such words. Therefore, facing Liu Bei's words, Cao C could only say Deal with silence.
"That's it, so when it comes to dealing with the outside world, we are unanimous in dealing with the outside world, and when it comes to dealing with the inside, we will deal with the inside." Liu Bei looked at Cao C and said, "Whether it is you or Sun Bofu, in fact, they all have a certain sense of luck. , after all, we have come to this step, if I make a mistake, after all, there are many records in history of the weak defeating the strong."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Cao C had completely regained his composure, "I think too much. None of us can be persuaded with words. Only strength can wake us up."
"A person who pretends to sleep can never be woken up. The best way at that time is to beat him until he wakes up, or until he never wakes up." Chen Xi said with a smile, "So no matter whether he is pretending to sleep or not, until he wakes up, he will never wake up." It’s time to give him a beating.”
"Is Marquis Chen so confident?" Cao C said, staring at Chen Xi.
"You can't win, because our opponent has never been you." Chen Xi shook his head. To be honest, in the Central Plains war, Yuan Shao was the one who really made Chen Xi sweat.
If the dead Yuan Shao is resurrected on the battlefield between Yuan and Liu, and there is another battle, as long as he loses his generals and commanders again and again, it will not be easy for Liu Bei to win. Maybe Yuan Shao can drag out the battle between Yuan and Liu. It ended in five or six years.
Cao C's face was calm, but he looked south at Chang'an, and his meaning was self-evident.
"Let me think about it. There is a saying that goes like this, 'The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the truth in his life?' Don't draw premature conclusions on some things. Ah, maybe he is our King Qin?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cao Cao recalled Liu Xie's previous performance and his determination and said, "Xuande, after the battle to expel the Xiongnu from the north is over, if you lead 20,000 troops and follow me to Chang'an, how will the emperor decide between the two of us? Whether I am General Zhengxi or something else, it doesn’t matter what you say, it doesn’t matter what I say, it’s what the Emperor of Han has to say.”
"I can disband my armor and return to the fields, but it's useless for you to say this." Cao C was extremely calm at this moment, "If you, Liu Xuande, are recognized as loyal by the emperor, and you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and I am below you, that will be I am not capable enough. If you are recognized as J by the emperor, then even if you have millions of soldiers, I, Cao Mengde, will fight you to the death!"
"My thoughts will not be shaken by whether you are strong or not. I will also use my eyes to witness and see clearly." Cao C's momentum at this moment even made Liu Bei look sideways, but he is loyal to the country and the nation. , or loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who is loyal, who is jealous.
Cao C's words were sonorous and powerful, and the determination in them could be heard by both Chen Xi and Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei did not mean to steal the imperial power, because the world is so big, and the expansion of territory is far more famous in history than the authority of the emperor.
"We'll see." Liu Bei said calmly. He did have the idea of conquering Cao C before, but now he has extinguished the idea. He can defeat Cao C's army, but he will never be able to crush Cao C's belief, nor can he crush Cao C. of confidence.
"You will see it." Cao C said solemnly.
"Can I say something?" Chen Xi said at the side, "In fact, everyone has will and belief. Whether it is Cao Sikong, Xuande Gong, or Sun Boxu, they can all be regarded as starting from scratch, and starting from scratch The greatest advantage of an entrepreneur is his character."
"So a war is inevitable between us, but I hope that we will restrain the war between the sergeants and not like the previous war between us and Yuan Shao, which will affect the people. The rise and fall of the people will be the suffering of the people." Chen Xi said with emotion.
Having said that, the battle between Yuan and Liu ended quickly, but Yuan Shao's defeated army still caused great harm to Jizhou. The defeated army without a commander-in-chief either turned into bandits or robbed the people. The year before The generals under Liu Bei were mainly responsible for exterminating these small groups of bandits.
For the regular army, the bandits are very weak, but for the common people, the destructive power of the bandits is actually extremely terrifying. After a big battle, if the enemy's defeated army cannot be successfully gathered, the living environment of the people within hundreds of miles will be destroyed. Very huge.
Of course, part of this is because Yuan Shao is dead. If Yuan Shao is alive, Yuan Shao's prestige can still be gathered together. However, if Yuan Shao does not die, the world will be uneasy.
"I'll try my best." Cao C was silent for a while and gave the answer that Chen Xi hoped for. After all, once the war starts, it is a lie to say that the soldiers are perfectly controlled, and some people will inevitably flee. Cao C can say that he has tried his best, and Chen Xi has already Satisfied.
"Rise and fall are due to the suffering of the people." Liu Bei sighed and said, "Brother Mengde, originally I wanted to convince you, but neither your will nor my will can be easily shaken, so I ask you to remember the rise and fall of It’s all suffering for the common people.”
"I don't want what happened in Xuzhou to happen again. Whether it's because of my father's hatred or to vent my anger, I don't want the past things to be revealed from here. Maybe you don't believe it, but I still have to tell you that if you must preserve the vitality of the Han Dynasty, I can defeat you easily. Zichuan is much stronger than your Wen Ruo. He is truly at the top." At this moment, Liu Bei was serious. He couldn't tell whether it was a threat or a warning, but Cao C could feel that momentum.
"There will be a battle someday, but before that, we must work together to eliminate the scourge of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years." Cao C nodded noncommittally and then stretched out his hand to Liu Bei and said, Liu Bei held Cao C's hand, "At least this For once, we are like-minded as before.”
"For the Han Dynasty!" "For the people!" "For the Central Plains!" "For our respective ambitions." Cao Cao and Liu Bei clasped their hands together and said one sentence to each other.
Chen Xi smiled at Xun Yu. Maybe Liu Bei and Cao Cao had many disagreements, but at least now their wills have something in common. At least they are both fighting for the world. Although the methods are different and the processes are different, they There is nothing wrong with the purpose.
"General Han Zhengxi, I take it." Cao C looked at Liu Bei and said.
"The Prosperity Chapter, I have also started writing." Liu Bei said proudly.
"One day we will face each other, but before that, we are all Hanchen. Even if we face each other in the future, we will still be Hanchen. You can rest assured that I, Liu Bei, do not covet the artifact. I, Liu Bei, want to It is the super ancestral ancestor." At this moment, Liu Bei was extremely arrogant and finally had the courage to say this in front of outsiders. (To be continued ~^~)
