Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 374 - Liu Xie's Thoughts
Liu Xie has gradually set a tone for himself over the years, that is, no matter how crazy Cao Mengde is, no matter how fierce the other princes are.
He just strives for a "stable" word, stabilizes his territory, stabilizes the officers and non-commissioned officers under his command, and steadily guards the current Han Dynasty....
Even if he often uses himself as bait in tactics, or he puts himself in a very dangerous place in the middle of the battle to live and die with the soldiers.
But when it came to the overall strategy, he never changed his mind...
That is to seek stability!
Liu Xie didn't know that doing so would delay his time and make him extremely passive, but he still chose to do so.
Even after someone kept reminding him that if he blindly sought stability like this, he would probably end up making a wedding dress for others.
In this regard, Liu Xie understood and gave his own answer.
"In fact, I have long since lost the chance to recover the Great Han, and I had nothing but to make the decision to cut off the gecko's tail.
So as to find a way to survive in the desperate road.
But at that time, the princes of the world already had their own places, and they often crossed counties and states, and went around to conquer...
By the time I could gain a foothold in Chang'an, the situation in the world was almost clear, and the princes of all sides had begun to fight everywhere to clean up some scum waste.
In just a few years, Yuan Benchu, Lu Fengxian, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu, Liu Xuan.... Even this Yuan Shao has been...
Today, the remaining princes of all walks of life in the world either occupy an enviable geographical advantage.
Either they have extraordinary skills.
In short, when I was still a void here, they had already completed the second step in the troubled times.
As for whether someone will sweep the Eight Desolations and dominate the universe, or will they fall into a long-term stalemate like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It's not even under my control anymore.
If the world really falls into a long-term stalemate, then I can accumulate a lot of money by doing this, so as to fight for that glimmer of life for the Han again.
But if... If there is really someone in this world, he can sweep away the eight wildernesses and revive the mountains and rivers.
Even if I am in a hurry to run for my life, I am afraid that it will be in vain in the end.
Rather than making this bit of Han land and the people of the Han in my hands more desolate, it is better to do everything I can to make them more stable.
In the future, no matter who replaces the big man, it will always give them a little more vitality.
It's also the last thing I, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, have done for the people of the Han Dynasty..."
When Liu Xie said this, he was still in Jingzhou, and he also made many young men in Jingzhou.
That Xu Shu and Li Shu, who are now guarding his lair, are guarding his lair.
and now Zhuge Kongming and others, who are bent on returning to Jingzhou, are already his "friends".
Under the influence of these people, Liu Xie finally figured out a lot of things.
In the past few years, he has been worried that after his advantage is slowly lost, he will fall into the hands of Cao Mengde again as a wronged puppet emperor.
When a waste emperor who sees his henchmen and cronies being killed one by one, or even slaughtering the entire clan, is powerless.
When a wife and children can't protect the good nest of the son.
In those years, he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
But with his growth and the influence of these people on him, Liu Xie finally had a chance to calm down, and then completely figured out his state of mind.
That is, his advantage has not disappeared, and it can even be said that this advantage will never disappear.
Perhaps the history of today is not the same as the history of the past, even if there are still some things that only happen in history from time to time.
But it's just an accident.
He could no longer control the situation in the world.
But.... Liu Xie can still know that this Cao Mengde has a lot of problems and a lot of problems.
These glitches can be a big surprise for him at a critical moment.
It may also bring history back to its original trajectory.
This is accidental, and perhaps inevitable, but Liu Xie didn't know so much and knew so clearly.
However, Liu Xie is Liu Xie after all, even if he doesn't know these things.
But he also knew how he was going to go on.
Liu Xie, who wants to understand, already knows that this world will eventually lead to two paths.
First, under the accident again and again, the world finally moved towards inevitability, that is, it returned to the trajectory of history and fell into a long-term stalemate.
There seem to be a number of reasons why this is possible.
And the second is naturally under the addition of Liu Xie, which led to many possible things not happening in the end.
And in the process of changing history again and again, it has also led to this history going directly in a completely different direction.
Cao Mengde or Yuan Benchu swept the other party, and then swept the world with a large army, and quickly completed the unification of the world....
And under such a result, it is just like what Liu Xie said.
The former still has a glimmer of life, and the long-term stalemate has turned into a fight between the two sides, and this increasingly stable internal is the premise of ensuring continuous fighting.
Accumulation is no longer a lip service.
As for the second point... Even if he Liu Xie has great ability, unless he can directly awaken the ancestral bloodline like his own ancestor Liu Xiu.
When the army came, the sky was overcast and windy, the black wind covered the battlefield, meteorites fell from the sky, and then smashed Cao Mengde or Yuan Benchu to death.... Ahem.. That shameless traitor.
Otherwise, even if he has great ability, it will be useless.
In this world, there is no way for him Liu Xie to live, and the only use is to be the last emperor of the Han Dynasty honestly, and then give up his position to the victorious guy.
If this is the case, why does Liu Xie bother with those people under his command, and why does he embarrass those people who have managed to settle down with great difficulty?
They have survived in this troubled world until now, and it is not easy to support them until now.
If Liu Xie didn't give them a way to live, even if Liu Xie was the emperor of this great man, he didn't know how he would be able to face these people.
Taking advantage of this time, the only thing Liu Xie can do for them is to make their lives more stable and let them have more hope of living.
In the future, even if the victorious man brought not a better country, they will have the strength to flee again....
Save the last bit of vitality for the Han Dynasty, and protect the last bit of reputation and the last bit of face for the royal family of the Han Dynasty.
That's what Liu Xie can do in the end.
Therefore, in this case, during Liu Xie's time in Jingzhou, he called off almost all attacks.
Although Chen Gong, Lu Dai and the others were secretly training their soldiers and horses, and then making final preparations for the next chaotic battle.
But none of them once again proposed to go to the battlefield to fight and kill anything.
Liu Xie at that time, Chang'an at that time, was so quiet that it was a little weird.
Compared with Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, who were still fighting at that time, compared to Jiangdong, where civil strife continued, and compared to Liu Biao, who unified Jingzhou....
The land of Sanqin, where Liu Xie is located, is simply how safe and safe.
To live in peace, to live in peace....
It is precisely because of Liu Xie's decision that the people in Jingzhou and Yizhou, Hanzhong, who were about to survive because of the war, once again had an extra choice to live.
They chose to leave the land where they could no longer support themselves, and quickly fled into the land of Sanqin, where the imperial court was located.
First, it has provided enough population and grain and grass for the land of Sanqin, not to mention, it has also provided a lot of available people for the land of Sanqin, which is gradually lacking in talents.
Second... Naturally, it made the Han court, which was becoming more and more infamous, kind.
It also made the reputation of this court change a little, so that the Han court... Back to the hearts of those people.
This is also a good thing that Liu Xie has done.
At this time, after experiencing the battles outside Yecheng, Liu Xie was more sure of his idea.
His current strength is not to mention jumping up and down in this chaotic world, even in front of this Cao Mengde... He couldn't even walk in front of Cao Mengde.
It's already a life-or-death situation.
If you continue... I'm afraid I'm really going to fall into it with myself.
Although Liu Xie did not lose this battle, it made Liu Xie more aware of his strength, and he was more determined to go back and cultivate himself.
"Jia Gong...."Now that it is exactly the same, Liu Xie, who has fully recovered, of course doesn't say any more nonsense, and looks at Jia Xu in front of him and stands up directly.
When Jia Xu bowed to him again, he pulled him up, and then whispered to him.
"Jia Gong's intentions, I can understand.
But Jia Gong should also be able to understand his true intentions.
This day is still not stable, Cao Mengde broke through Yecheng, and the unification of Hebei is just around the corner.
At this time, if I return to the army of Sanqin, garrison Chang'an, and plot against the land of Yongliang, it may be a little difficult, but it will take three or two years at long.
In just one and a half years, you can take this cool place in the northwest back to your own hands.
In this way, Cao Mengde once again has the power to resist in front of this Cao Mengde.
But if we attack Jingzhou directly, then we are likely to be directly dragged by Jingzhou.
When Cao Mengde's army moved south... I'm afraid that's going to be a big problem!
Jia Gong, Jia Gong won't know about this kind of thing! ”
