…
Seeing that Chen Xi had set the main tone, the atmosphere in the entire Government Affairs Office became active again, returning to its previous chatting and laughing state.
"But there is one thing to say, Cao Mengde did have some troubles when he took over Chang'an..." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "With the ability of Cao Cao's advisers, it will definitely not be a big problem to crush those group of veterans, even if those group of veterans rely on the emperor , and it’s impossible to hold on for too long.”
"Two months, no more than two months at most, and we only have two months." Guo Jia said quite confidently.
Put yourself in that position, and within two months at most, you can rely on your absolute superiority in force to overwhelm those veterans.
He can do it to this extent, Xi Zhong can definitely do it.
Whether it was his belief in himself or his trust in the actor's ability, Guo Jia made a judgment on the spot.
"Including the delay in transmitting information in the middle, can it be up to two and a half months?" Dong Zhao frowned and said thoughtfully, "If it exceeds two and a half months, will it most likely be stopped by the emperor's edict?"
"It's not just about stopping, it's about quitting. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, in terms of official positions, Cao Mengde is the real governor of Yanzhou. Although I really want to say, don't worry about this aspect, but I think everyone present must be aware of it. I don't want to see this happen." Xu You flicked some pastry at random, his whole person filled with a sense of freedom and ease.
"Then what is the significance of this attack?" Zhang Zhao quickly calculated the cost of the expedition and said in surprise.
If you want to defeat Cao Cao's army in such a short period of time and give Cao Cao a certain blow, the number of troops dispatched will definitely be large.
Although it is only a month or two, some consumption is essential.
If they can capture Yanzhou, even if it is the place of the Fourth War, if they capture this position, they can ensure the safety of that area. With the fertile land and wide area of this area, they can take at most one year. , you can make up for all the losses and gain more things at the same time.
But this is all above one premise, that is, they can occupy Yanzhou.
However, the reality is cruel. They have such strength and fundamentals, but they do not have such righteousness.
For other princes, facing the emperor's edict is dispensable.
But Liu Bei cannot simply turn a blind eye. He still has to abide by some basic rules.
If some edict is issued to abolish Liu Bei's official position, you can basically ignore it, because everyone knows that kind of order and it is unlikely to be implemented.
But guarding his own territory, ruling his subordinates, and preventing internal wars between the two sides, these are relatively simple things that comply with the current basic rules, and Liu Bei has to abide by them.
Unless they can find a new name, one that not even the emperor can stop.
The simplest thing is like Sun Ce, attacking Jingzhou in the name of avenging his father, and others just turning a blind eye.
After all, avenging one's father is a matter of course, whatever the purpose, it is not too much. As long as it does not harm the future and foundation of the race, these are all trivial matters.
However, they don't have this simple name.
And some other simple popular principles can only make them less burdened when they attack.
But it also means that once they attack, they will not be able to garrison, because once garrisoned for a long time, it means that the name is broken and the credibility will be destroyed.
Although credibility will not affect any strength, it is the truest manifestation of a power.
Even Yuan Shao's subordinates are helping Liu Bei with his work, which in itself is a reflection of credibility.
Individuals can be dishonest, but the country cannot.
Liu Bei's current power is much stronger than that of most countries in the world, so one can imagine the importance of credibility.
"In addition to cutting off Cao Cao's subsequent harvest, the most important thing is to allow the people of Yanzhou to have a surplus of food at home and not have to worry about this year's or next year's food..." Chen Xi said quite calmly.
Hearing such a reason, Zhang Zhao opened his mouth. Just when he was about to say something, he was stopped by Zhang Hong on the side.
"If someone else said this, I might not believe it, but since it was said by Marquis Chen, and he is under the command of Duke Xuande, I am naturally willing to believe it." Zhang Hong nodded seriously, his tone revealing sincerity.
Since the internal competition, the two brothers have been staying in Fenggao City, witnessing the changes and prosperity in Fenggao City.
Zhang Zhao may not have seen the meaning and things hidden behind it, but Zhang Hong did.
Whether it is Taishan County or Qingzhou, there are too many people buried among the people under his command, and there are also many people who cannot be exposed.
But they were not treated differently, just like normal people, they were treated equally.
Sometimes, Zhang Hong even wonders, in Liu Bei's eyes, are these aristocratic families also part of the common people?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Hong felt no fear in his heart, only shock. He was shocked by Liu Bei's courage and burden.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hong recognized what Chen Zichuan said from the bottom of his heart.
No matter what the future holds, at least in Liu Bei's eyes, there is no difference between them.
Perhaps in the eyes of people from other aristocratic families, this is a kind of contempt and contempt.
But in Zhang Hong's view, this is enough.
Liu Bei treats them and the common people equally, which also means that there will be no obstacles to the upward channel, at least in the general direction, it will remain fair.
In this case, whether you can move up depends on your ability, not your family background and family background.
In this regard, Zhang Hong is still quite confident. Even if ordinary people have such an opportunity, how can they surpass him?
"It seems that you have really seen and learned a lot in the past few months at Fenggao." Chen Xi looked at Zhang Hong who stopped Zhang Zhao and said calmly.
"Even after seeing so much and learning so much, I still can't see Chen Hou's back." Zhang Hong stretched out his hand, looked at the wrinkles on his hand, then looked at Chen Xi's young face and strong body, and finally He laughed slowly.
He is older than Chen Xi, physically more fragile than Chen Xi, and has weaker abilities than Chen Xi. How can he have any chance of surpassing him? He even tried his best not to be distanced.
And people with such a huge gap come from aristocratic families, not ordinary ordinary people.
