Chapter 918 Personal Reputation and Power Reputation

Seeing that Chen Xi gave the main tone, the atmosphere in the entire government affairs hall was active again, and it returned to the previous appearance of talking and laughing.

"But there is one thing to say, Cao Mengde did have some troubles when he became the head of Chang'an..."Chen Xi thought about it and said, "With the ability of Cao Cao's ministers, crushing that group of old ministers is definitely not a big problem, even if that group of old ministers relies on the Son of Heaven, it is 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, at most two months, you will be able to rely on absolute military superiority to subdue those old ministers.

He can do it to this extent, and Xi Zhong can definitely do it.

Whether it was his belief in himself or his trust in the ability to be loyal to the play, Guo Jia made a judgment on the spot.

"Counting the delay in the transmission of information, is it a maximum of two and a half months?" Dong Zhao frowned and said thoughtfully, "After more than two and a half months, is there a high probability that it will be stopped by the edict of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"It's not just a stop, it's also a withdrawal, which is also something that can't be helped, after all, in terms of official position, Cao Mengde is the real Yanzhou assassin history, although I really want to say that I don't have to care about this aspect, but I think everyone here definitely doesn't want to see such a situation." Xu You casually bounced a little pastry, and the whole person was full of a kind of ease.

"So what's the point of this sortie?" Zhang Zhao quickly calculated the consumption 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 like that is definitely quite a lot.

Although it is only for a month or two, some consumption is essential.

If they can take Yanzhou, even if it is the land of the four wars, they can also ensure the safety of that area, and then rely on the fertile land and wide area of this area, at most a year, they will be able to make up for all the losses and get more things at the same time.

But this all overrides the premise that they can occupy Yanzhou.

However, the reality is very cruel, they have such strength, and they have such a basic plate, but they do not have such a righteousness.

For other princes, facing the edict of the Son of Heaven is dispensable.

But Liu Bei must not simply turn a blind eye to it, and he still has to abide by some basic rules.

If some edict is issued to abolish Liu Bei's official position, it can basically be ignored, because that kind of order is known to everyone and is unlikely to be realized.

But guarding his own territory, ruling his own command, and preventing the war between the two sides, these relatively simple things that are in line with the current basic rules, Liu Bei also has to abide by.

Unless they can find a new name, one that even the Son of Heaven can't stop.

The simplest is like Sun Ce, attacking Jingzhou in the name of avenging his father, and the others also turn a blind eye.

After all, avenging the father is a matter of course, what is the use, it is not too much, as long as it is not to harm the future and foundation of the race, these are trivial matters.

However, in this simple name, they do not have it.

And some other simple civil righteousness can only make them less burdensome when they attack.

But it also means that once they attack, they will not be able to garrison, because once they are stationed for a long time, it means that the name will be shattered and their credibility will be ruined.

Although credibility does not affect any strength, it is the truest manifestation of a force.

Even Yuan Shao's subordinates are helping Liu Bei to work, which is a reflection of credibility in itself.

Individuals can not be trustworthy, but the state cannot.

And Liu Bei's current power is much stronger than most countries in the world, and the importance of credibility can naturally be imagined.

"In addition to cutting off Cao Cao's follow-up harvest, the most important thing is to let the people of Yanzhou have surplus grain at home and not have to worry about this year's or next year's grain..."Chen Xi said quite calmly.

Hearing such a reason, Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, and just as 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 Chen Hou, and it was under the command of Duke Xuande, I am naturally willing to believe it." Zhang Hong nodded quite seriously, and his tone revealed sincerity.

Since the internal Wenbi, the two brothers have been staying in Fenggao Castle and have witnessed the changes and prosperity in Fenggao Castle.

Zhang Zhao may not have seen the meaning and things buried 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 none of them were treated differently, just like normal people, treated equally.

Even sometimes, Zhang Hong is wondering, are these families also part of the common people in Liu Bei's eyes?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Hong was not afraid in his heart, only shocked, 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.

Perhaps, in the eyes of people from other families, this is a contempt and contempt.

But in Zhang's view, this is enough.

Liu Bei's equal treatment of them and the common people also means that there will be no obstruction to the upward channel, at least in the general direction.

In this case, whether you can go up or not depends on your own ability, not your family background and background.

In this regard, Zhang Hong is still quite confident, ordinary people, even if they have such an opportunity, how can they surpass him?

"It seems that you have really seen a lot of things and learned a lot in the past few months." Chen Xi looked at Zhang Hong, who had stopped Zhang Zhao, and said quite calmly.

"Even if I've seen so much and learned so much, I still can't see Chen Hou's back." Zhang Hong stretched out his hand, looked at the wrinkles on his hand, looked at Chen Xi's young face and strong body, and finally laughed slowly.

Older than Chen Xi, more fragile than Chen Xi's body, and weaker than Chen Xi's ability, where is there any chance of transcendence? Even in order not to be distanced, I have done my best.

And such a huge gap of people comes from a family, not an ordinary ordinary person.
