Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu, who frowned slightly, and knew very well that the other party was under a lot of pressure now, Liu Bei deeply felt that after such a wave of military parades, anyone who had the idea of continuing to do it with him was estimated to be under great pressure, to be honest, before the parade, Liu Bei didn't know how strong he was. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Zhou Yu, Liu Bei actually respects Zhou Yu very much, just like after Northern Xinjiang, all the generals respect Zhou Yu very much.

This is completely out of the heartfelt respect of ordinary people for the strong, hundreds of thousands of troops command at will on the battlefield, this is not what you want to do, you can do it, and now Zhou Yu, who is only twenty-three or four years old, is already standing at the peak of this era.

It can be said that for the current Han family, Chen Xi on the Wenchen side is a peak that cannot be crossed by life or death, and in terms of commanders, Zhou Yu seems to have become a sinkhole that cannot be bypassed, in addition to being very capable, these two guys also have a big problem, young!

Therefore, even if Zhou Yu chooses the path of self-destruction, Liu Bei will give Zhou Yu respect, this is a strong man, but his fate is too back, and he has encountered an opponent like Chen Xi who does not play cards according to common sense.

"That's right, Xuan Degong, who is your opponent?" Zhou Yu was separated for a while, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows trembled twice, and he inexplicably looked a little vicissitudes.

"My opponent?" Liu Bei was silent for a moment.

"Yes, if you cut off half of your elite in this parade, it can probably be said that it is to defeat us, and with your current strength, you are not at the same level as us at all, who is your opponent?" As soon as Zhou Yu spoke, he didn't hesitate.

"Your current strength is not something that can be accumulated in a moment and a half, that is to say, as early as two years ago, or even earlier, or should it be said that at the end of the battle of Yuan Liu, you already had half of the power we see now, and you already had the unified capital at that time." Zhou Yu asked with a solemn face, and the Xiahou brothers also stopped and looked at Liu Bei.

"Zichuan, you can answer." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the back, "This military parade should be said to be a reflection of all your work so far, and you know why better than me." ”

"It's not good to give me the power to explain." Chen Xi smiled and said, but he still got up and smiled and prepared to explain.

"Because you know best." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and sat back by himself.

"Well, I'll explain why." Chen Xi nodded and said.

"Gongjin, in fact, many people say that my approach is very weird." Chen Xi got up and said to Zhou Yu with a smile, Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this, admitting this statement.

"The problem is, I don't want to do this, but I don't do it like this, I'm not sure, I'm planning, and I can't say scum in military strategy, but if I really want to do it with you, the chance of winning is very small, even if it's Jia Wenhe, Guo Fengxiao, Fa Xiaozhi and other people who are better at planning, how can I say it, can I stabilize you?" Chen Xi turned around and glanced at Jia Xu and the others, and then looked at Zhou Yu.

"Hey, hey, don't pull us up if you quarrel." Guo Jia and Fa Zheng were almost in sync, and said to Chen Xi in the same tone.

"No, Jia Wenhe has no last resort, Xun Gongda is not a vegetarian, Guo Fengxiao, Fa Xiaozhi is amazing, but we are not unable to deal with it." Zhou Yu said slowly, Fa Zheng stared at Zhou Yu very unpleasantly, although this is true, but I am very unhappy that you say this!

"That's right, since the tactical pressure on you is too much, then it is a very correct choice to engage you strategically, the core of the art of war is to bully the weak, and to attack the short with the long, then in fact, the most correct way to use the art of war is to take out 10,000 people, and we take out 20,000 elite armorers." Chen Xi spread his hands and said speechlessly.

"Well, this is what I thought at the beginning, because it hurts too much to fight with you, so from the beginning my plan is to keep up with all changes, no matter what your strategy, my army will run over, break the city in the city, cut off the water in the water, the Yangtze River is too wide, there is no way, a thousand fifth-generation ships sink into a dammed lake, no, two thousand more ships!" Chen Xi pressed his left hand to his chest and said quite rampantly.

"In short, that's it, as for why not directly start to unify the world after the battle of Yuan Liu, in fact, if you follow your thinking at that time, it can indeed be unified, destroy half of the Central Plains, and the people's livelihood will wither, and it will be unified in a few years, and then how many of you here can stand in front of you?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically with disdain.

"Although, we also know that you really want to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains, but what we are more curious about is, what kind of pressure did you face to make such a choice, what kind of enemies did the Central Plains have, and it was worth giving up the great cause of reunification?" Zhou Yu asked slowly.

"No, it's not." Chen Xi raised his right hand and shook his index finger, vetoing Zhou Yu's words.

"Maybe there were enough enemies in this world to threaten us, or even to crush us head-on, but now." Chen Xi said proudly, "We are already standing on the top of the world, and there are opponents and enemies for us, but to say that it is enough to threaten us, so that our deadly enemies no longer exist." ”

When Yuan Liu was in the Great War, to put it bluntly, two peak kingdoms, or even two kingdoms close to the empire, were colliding.

Although after the war between the two, even the strength of the victor fell to the level of a powerful kingdom, but as the conqueror digested and absorbed the territory, population, and resources of the loser, Liu Bei already had the capital of the empire when he met the Roman envoys.

Yuan Shao already had almost all the capital of the empire's military power back then, but there were only two things he lacked, one was the system of commanding an entire empire, and the other was the war potential of a complete empire.

What about the previous one, when the kingdom leapfrogs into an empire, the land, population, and resources will undergo great changes, and the whole country will also have painful institutional reforms, but this is something that has to be carried out.

Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and if it was not reformed, it would die, but after the reform, there was not enough stability period, and it would also die, and the collapse of the empire often started with the system.

Liu Bei's annihilation of Yuan Shao is equivalent to the merger of two great powers into an empire, which itself is of the same language and species, there is no cultural conflict, no blood feud, and the system has obvious continuity, which is the best opportunity for all major powers to upgrade their empires.

However, this is not so much an upgrade from a great power to an empire, but rather a new empire that inherits the unfinished system of the previous empire on the corpse of the empire.

The so-called Han Cheng Qin system came from this, because although the Qin Dynasty said that it was hanging, but it did leave a complete system, if the Han Dynasty still wants to reform the system, I am afraid that a bad game will cause social class turmoil, and the Han Dynasty will fight the street with the Qin Dynasty if it is not good.

But even if the new empire is rebuilt from the corpses of the previous generation, there will be a chaotic period, generally speaking, it will be as short as five years or as long as ten years, at this time the national strength of the country has not been restored, and the country is still in the stage of running-in and adjustment, and there are various hidden dangers.

When these problems are solved, a new empire is born.

However, Liu Bei's side solved the system problem from the beginning, and the chaotic period was also suppressed by Chen Xi to less than two years, and then relied on building roads everywhere and integrating all county-level administrations into the system, forcibly ending the local policy chaos period.

In fact, at that time, Liu Bei had already counted a nascent empire with a population of nearly 30 million, and then implemented those policies prepared in advance step by step, and Liu Bei's subordinates could liberate more and more people from agricultural production, which meant that Liu Bei's military strength was getting stronger and stronger.

By this time, Chen Xi didn't care about the domestic situation at all, because everyone was smart and not an anti-human saboteur, so if Chen Xi left obvious leeway, they wouldn't go to find death.

Chen Xi thought about it carefully, the four major empires of Europe and Asia during this period, needless to say, should indeed rest in peace, Guishan is very strong, but if the complex contradictions in Guishan are not resolved, they will never be qualified to win the final victory from the Central Plains.

Rome Well, I have to say that Rome in this period is very powerful, and any army that can strangle the empire is the strongest elite in the era of cold weapons.

It doesn't matter whether Rome has gained this power by means of military force or by other means, it does not matter, strong is strong, and it does not need any reason to explain it.

Although he was beaten by Rome for so long, he did not die after all, his huge territory, large population, and strong foundation all represent their terrible war potential, but in the official history, he was beaten by Severus thousands of miles to Ctesiphon and directly destroyed the country!

This mode of smashing the Yellow Dragon is similar to the Han Dynasty's extermination of the Huns, is the domestic situation bad during the period of Emperor Wu? Oops, it's really bad, and there's no way to compare it with the Wenjing period.

But if you want to talk about the military during the period of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu, who was a mess in China, was definitely the strongest in the pre-Han dynasty, and it was strong enough to make everyone in front and behind tremble.

However, this did not scare Chen Xi, it was not that Chen Xi looked down on Rome, and before Rome could solve the internal transportation network, the Romans stopped Ctesiphon.

The resting kingdom was defeated by the Romans several times, why did the Romans give up, to put it bluntly, because it exceeded the scope of rule and there was no way to control it?

Severus is so rampant, almost all the west of Anxi has been plundered, every battle will be won, and in the end, he can only roll back to Rome, in terms of the ability to project this force, Chen Xi said that there is something to fear.

In this way, in the middle of the world, those who can sit at the table and play cards, who are qualified to threaten the Han family, are too far away, and can only wait for it to develop, and the Han family will see a high level when it reaches their noses, and other players face the Han family, a giant, unless it is good once, otherwise don't even think about winning without making mistakes, jokes.

"Gong Jin, whether you believe it or not, our opponent has never been you, for us you are the same culture, the same species, the same ancestry, so we have never thought of turning you into a loser, this world is very big, there is more than one strong family, now although we have been proudly standing at the peak, but there are still coveters, there are still people with the same respect as the Han family, we have not yet achieved the only one!" Chen Xi tilted his head slightly, and looked at Zhou Yu calmly with his eyes.
