Relying on the cleverness of Lu Yu and Lu Xun, the two of them soon came up with ten things where they had made mistakes. Then Chen Xi and Jia Xu beat the two of them severely in front of Qidong, and both of them were killed. The person copied the materials they prepared five times each.
In Chen Xi's words, you made ten mistakes. You didn't even know before you did this, and you were so stupid that you just went ahead and did it. You deserve to be beaten by the two of us so that you will remember it. matter.
In short, Lu Xun and Lu Yu were beaten up by Jia Xu and Chen Xi, and the reason was sufficient. Lu Yu and Lu Xun hated their quick thinking before, and because of this beating, the two learned to hide their clumsiness.
"These two dead kids are really indebted." Chen Xi said after sending Qidong away.
"Your previous reasons left me speechless." Jia Xu said after a while, "I originally thought you would let them go after mentioning ten mistakes because of our negligence. I didn’t expect there was such an explanation.”
"That's nonsense. That's ten things wrong. And they all knew it afterwards. They didn't even react beforehand. It's a good thing I didn't kill these two damn kids." Chen Xi said angrily, "Forget it. Oh, my anger is hurting my health. Drink some tea."
Jia Xu had an expression on his face that made me speechless. This explanation, if you think about it, is really reasonable and leaves people speechless.
"Maybe Wei Shuo is drinking tea on the other side of the river." Chen Xi suddenly said.
"That's for sure. Everyone knows what kind of person he is. It's normal to treat him to a meal when he sees him." Jia Xu said with a smile, "Xun Gongda's talent is getting stronger, have you noticed?"
"..." Chen Xi was silent for a moment after hearing this. Lu Xun also told them about what he saw Xun You and Sima Lang on the other side of the river. Chen Xi was just a little surprised, but Jia Xu said it directly.
"Being stronger is also a good thing. For this country, the stronger we wait, the better." Chen Xi put down the tea cup and said, "Actually, everyone present has become a lot stronger. Over the years, we have become stronger. You and I, And they all are, which is nice.”
"But how should I put it? In fact, we are slacking off now, right?" Chen Xi held the teapot in his hand, paused slightly, and said slowly.
Jia Xu didn't speak, but he didn't argue either. It was indeed them who slacked off. As the world's top wise man, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.
Jia Wenhe, everything he thinks about will come true. He is a real wise man, not the chubby fat man he is now, who even ignores some things that are obvious.
"From the very beginning, after those of us put aside our inner grudges, regarded the Central Plains as our basic base, made Cao Sun and Liu no longer view each other as enemies, and made the top leaders of the three parties agree on this, we actually slacked off." Chen Xi said slowly.
Jia Xu was speechless and didn't speak for a while. In fact, he already understood what Chen Xi said. After all, such a small mistake this time would have been impossible with Jia Xu's caution in the past, let alone this time. Liu Bei's advisers collectively made mistakes, which was already a big problem.
Even if there is no strategy left, it will hit the target as expected. Except when Jia Xu deliberately fools around, as long as he is serious, Jia Xu is worthy of being the pinnacle of civil servants in this era, and this time it is no longer simply Jia Xu who is confused, but clearly. Everyone is collectively stupid.
"We didn't treat each other as enemies, which is good, but because of this, we were negligent, which is already our problem." Chen Xi said with a sigh, "It seems that it's not just Boyan and Zi who need to copy books. Home."
Jia Xu sighed after hearing this. In fact, all the civil servants in the camp have discovered this. Their mentality has become slack due to the trend of unification and the current general environment.
Even cautious and prudent people like Li You and Jia Xu had a slightly different attitude towards the enemy. In the past, no one would have made such a stupid mistake.
"People say that prosperity and wealth kill fighting spirit, and peace and prosperity wear away blood. I never thought that we would have such a time." Jia Xu sighed, "Sure enough, when people are strongest, they still use wisdom and strength in precarious and troubled times. When you protect yourself, whether you or I are getting stronger, we are actually getting weaker at the same time."
"Looking back, let's calm down together. This kind of mentality will probably be troublesome in the future." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Winning was too easy, which made me have some mental problems."
"Only you can say this. It's time for us to make adjustments here." Jia Xu nodded, stood up and tidied up twice, and then walked back to the camp. It was obvious that Jia Xu had been hurt this time, and maybe he still A good thing.
Jia Xu ran away, and Chen Xi was not interested in being alone. After drinking two drinks, he ran into the camp. However, he was caught by Liu Bei before he could even take two steps.
"Zichuan, come here, why are you running?" Liu Bei waved from a distance, and Chen Xi scratched his cheek and jumped over.
"You guys are coming with me to see Cao Mengde. I received news here that Xia Houyuan, the vanguard of Cao Jun's army, has arrived." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi jumping back and forth, obviously a little uneasy, and immediately grabbed this guy and dragged him to follow. Go together by yourself, it's obvious that Chen Xi can't run away this time.
"I just made a mistake. I'm going back to the camp to copy books. Isn't Cao Sikong here yet?" Chen Xi was dragged by Liu Bei. He walked over without riding a horse. It was so far and he was too tired. Is there any?
"It's okay. I copied it again when I came back. Isn't it just an oversight?" Liu Bei didn't listen to Chen Xi's excuse at all. Li You had already said everything that needed to be said before. Liu Bei also knew what happened, but Liu Bei didn't think this was the case. What a big deal.
Isn't it because we have already done everything and are waiting to enjoy the dividends brought by the unification of the world without using our brains? Isn't this human nature? Why think so much? No matter how cautious you are on the real battlefield, in private, such behavior shows that you treat the other person as one of your own.
In Liu Bei's view, if at this time, the advisers of Cao, Sun, and Liu's family were still wary of each other, planned again and again, and faced them as enemies, the reunification would definitely have to be fought, and they would not even be able to rest assured. We can continue to unify, I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet.
"Uh, eh, you're right to say that!" Chen Xi, who was pulled tilted, clapped his hands and suddenly realized, so it turns out that it's not that we are slacking off, but that we trust each other, oh, that's right.
Chen Xi was dragged by Liu Bei, and Chen Dao, the new guard behind him, acted as if he didn't know anything and watched Liu Bei drag Chen Xi away.
"After all, we chose peaceful reunification rather than military reunification. Compared with the latter, trust is more important." Liu Bei put Chen Xi down after he had reacted. It would not be good to keep dragging him like this.
"I thought you would drag me like this, drag me all the way," Chen Xi said with a smile after standing up.
"If you don't feel embarrassed, I can drag you over." Liu Bei said angrily, "You guys still like to stay in one place as before and don't like running around."
"Ansheng, Ansheng, I've been in one place for a long time." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's strange to see Cao Sikong now. Why, do you have anything to explain?"
"Talk to Cao Mengde, because we are going to Chang'an next, and Cao Mengde is under the greatest pressure." Liu Bei said looking into the distance.
"To be fair, Cao Sikong hasn't arrived yet. Although Cao Sikong has arrived, it is basically impossible for Cao Sikong to arrive." Chen Xi scratched his head and said, "What's more, the current situation is not suitable for us to go to Cao Sikong's side."
"Don't worry. Although Cao Mengde said that I have seen him as many times as you, in terms of understanding, I am much better than you. If I go to see you now, it will just eliminate his suspicion." Liu Bei said with a faint smile and extremely gentle. .
"Sun Bofu is an open-minded person and can listen to Zhou Gongjin's words. Although he has many problems caused by his lack of experience in the world and his youthful energy, there will be no doubt about what he believes. With Zhou Gongjin by his side, the two of them can be said to be It's a perfect match." Liu Bei said with emotion.
Chen Xi nodded when he heard the words. Indeed, what Liu Bei said made sense. Sun Ce was indeed such a person. Because he was young and energetic, he dared to commit suicide. But with Zhou Yu by his side and able to listen to people's words, he would indeed not have any trouble. question.
To be honest, there is no way for a third party to come between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. If they were a man and a woman, they would have gotten married long ago, and there would be nothing wrong with Xiao Qiao.
"The problem is Cao Mengde. Cao Mengde himself is powerful and has the heart to help the world. His wisdom and determination are extraordinary. To put it bluntly, to this day, Cao Mengde is not as powerful as me. It is not that I am far stronger than Cao Mengde, but that you are stronger than me." Xun Wenruo." Liu Bei pressed Chen Xi's shoulder and said.
"You can't say this like that. Although I was very happy to hear it, it was hard for others." Chen Xi touched his cheek and his hair, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily, like a fox. .
"Others don't know, how can I not know." Liu Bei smiled and said, "The biggest difference between Cao Mengde and me is that Cao Mengde is very suspicious, but I am very light. On the other hand, I am not as good as Cao Mengde because Cao Mengde's goal is the goal. And my goals can be given up for morality, I am not as good as him, and I am more impulsive than Cao Mengde."
"It is said that one who knows others is wise, and one who knows himself is wise. Mr. Xuande knows both people and himself." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Suspicion is indeed very important compared to Cao Cao and Liu Bei. There is no doubt about this. As for the second point Liu Bei said is also true, but this one cannot say who is better, only their respective perceptions. It is different from the education they received.
As for the last point, in Chen Xi's opinion, it is the real shortcoming of Liu Bei's character. Liu Bei is indeed much more impulsive than Cao Cao.
