Seeing the expressions of several people, Chen Wu smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, a certain family is actually just pretending to be a posture, the Huns are fierce and brutal, and often use force to coerce others to submit, so they must be treated in a more brutal way, so that he feels that you are not afraid of war and conflict at all, so that the Huns can throw a mouse bogey and know to stop." ”

After saying this, a few more people came over to ask him, Chen Wu ordered them one by one, and the distribution was proper and organized, even Liu Kun couldn't help but secretly admire, feeling that this captain who rose from the homeless people really had certain skills.

However, Liu Kun did not believe Chen Wu's so-called brutal statement.

When Chen Wu spoke just now, he was not talking to the Hun captives, but facing his subordinates, subordinates, and people close to him to explain things, how could he use such means? Obviously, it was because of the excitement of the battlefield that Chen Wu was emotionally agitated, so his true feelings were revealed, and after saying his heartfelt words, he realized that the impact was not good, and there were outsiders present, so he said two words to cover it up.

understands this, but it also makes Liu Kun worried.

Could it be that the main battle faction within the Youzhou Army has begun to be eager to try, and it is difficult to control itself?

This is not impossible, especially after seeing the ability of the Youzhou Xuanjia Army with his own eyes, he feels that this matter is very likely, with this kind of combat power, even if the number is not large, only thirty or forty thousand people, it is enough to sweep through the north and establish authority, and there is almost no possibility of failure.

A steady victory will definitely bring merit and promotion, as well as many other gains, how can you still endure it?

From this point of view, Chen Wu and the other Youzhou military's desire for war is completely reasonable and normal.

Here, Liu Kun understood the reason, and over there, after Chen Wu explained a little, he came over on the way back to the army and continued to explain: "Those previous words are indeed to confuse the enemy, which is also in line with the proposition of my general, pay attention to mutual deterrence and strategic balance. ”

You just make it up!

Liu Kun had such an expression on his face, but he sneered in his heart, knowing that this military leader was obviously worried that he was talking nonsense, which would have an impact on him.

This is not that Liu Kun thinks very highly of himself, he knows very well that with his own identity and fame, as long as he arrives in Youzhou, he will be personally received by Chen Zhi, and then entrusted with important tasks, and it is the kind of position where he can meet Chen Zhi from time to time, and the reason for this can be known without asking.

This situation led to Liu Kun's words, which could be directly transmitted to the ears of Chen Zhi and the highest-level Wenchen, and it is conceivable that once those people knew Chen Wu's words, they would feel.

With these thoughts in mind, Liu Kun did not intend to use it as a threat, using such things to threaten a school captain who has military power and seems to be quite capable, especially if he may have a blood relationship with Chen Zhi, it is by no means a rational choice, not only will he not do it, but he will also educate his son not to do it.

On the contrary, the matter is dealt with, and it is a perfect time to bring the relationship closer.

So then, Liu Kun didn't say much about Chen Wu's words, as if he had forgotten this "little thing", and instead asked about the so-called "mutual deterrence and strategic balance".

Seeing Liu Kun like this, Chen Wu became more and more polite, so he explained Chen Zhi's proposition in detail, and Liu Kun was surprised when he heard it.

Liu Kun originally wanted to change the topic, but when he really listened to the explanation, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Chen Zhi's proposition is simple to say, and it has existed since ancient times.

To put it simply, it is nothing more than the enemy and the forces that maintain a balance of combat power with each other, so as to restrain each other, so that the two sides will not fall into a big war and rely on force to maintain a superficial peace.

In fact, there are many such examples, from the coexistence of various states in the pre-Qin period to the confrontation of the three kingdoms a few decades ago, which can be regarded as such a balance, but sometimes, it is the two weak forces that work together to confront the strong side, so as to maintain the balance.

But such an equilibrium, which does not last long, will soon be broken.

If there is any exception, I am afraid that it is the confrontation between the North and the South in the original history.

It's just that the north and south sides of the North and South seem to be evenly matched for a long time, but the internal generations are constantly changing, and the north and south are constantly attacking.

In the north, from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, and later the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasty, the internal situation was also moving towards a balance of opposites. In contrast, the south experienced Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, which seemed to be smooth and excessive, but in fact, it was slowly depleting vitality, and sometimes, the south relied on confrontation with the north to maintain internal integrity and unity.

At present, in this branch of history, there is no fact that the North and the South are opposed, but Liu Kun relies on his own knowledge and also believes that such a balance is really a competition between the two sides to see who will make preparations first, accumulate enough strength, and then decide the winner and break the balance, which is a delaying tactic.

"In this way, the current is to promote peace with force, and plan the time and space for development."

"It is worthy of Liu Fujun, and he got to the point in one sentence!" Chen Wu praised it, but the focus was still on praising his own boss, and Chen Zhi behind him, that point of view really surprised Liu Kun, and even a little surprised-

On the basis of the balance of combat strength, Chen Zhi put forward a new viewpoint, that is, to ensure that one's own force can completely destroy the enemy, and before it fails to reach this level, it is necessary to maintain a superficial balance of power, creating an illusion that there is not much difference between others and me.

"At the moment, it is the force that stretches out its claws to Youzhou and strikes hard! Even claws, with arms, cut down together, let them know how powerful! This kind of deterrence can maintain a rough balance! ”

Chen Wu said and said, noticed Liu Kun's expression, and changed his words: "Liu Fujun, what is your intention to come here, a certain family knows, and it will be your own person in the future, these can be known and contacted sooner or later, it doesn't matter if you say it, with your knowledge, if you go to Jixian County, you must be reused, you are also a person who has led soldiers and fought with the Huns for a few years, and in the general's mansion in the future, you can speak for my soldiers!" ”

Liu Kun wiped his sweat and was relieved, he was indeed a little worried, there would be accidents after hearing this, since it was all accessible, then it would be fine.

But when I calmed down and thought about it, I felt that something was wrong.

What does it mean to have the force to completely destroy the opponent? The tone of these words is too arrogant!

Thinking of this, he first didn't believe it, then frowned, suspicious, but didn't ask, otherwise it would be disrespectful, no matter how much doubt he had in his heart, it would be difficult to question it face to face.

So he changed the topic again, and said: "In this way, Youzhou is focusing on the development of military strength, no wonder you can find us so quickly, I didn't send anyone to ask for help in advance, I didn't expect that in the wilderness, Youzhou also has a large army stationed!" ”

Chen Wu pointed to the road ahead and said, "When we get to a place, Mr. should understand." ”
