Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Middle-level officers with evil thoughts may not all die in the next battle, but a lot of ordinary soldiers involved in this matter will definitely die, and their deaths are meaningless.

This is what Chen Xi is most depressed about at the moment. Although many problems were solved directly after the defeat of the Ganges River, even the middle and upper-level officers with evil thoughts will naturally realize that pulling each other's legs will not only not get what they want, but will also trap themselves in it. In this case, it is self-evident what choice to make.

But how to calculate the ordinary soldiers who died in this defeat? The criminals did not receive the due punishment, and even got the fiefdom in the future. The ordinary soldiers who rushed to the front, with a heart of blood, and fought for the country and sought a foundation for the future generations died on the front line. Is this fair?

This is the point that Chen Xi cannot accept the most. If there is a choice, Chen Xi hopes that even if the middle and upper-level officers on the front line pull each other back, their Han Dynasty can still win. At least the soldiers who rush to the front will not be sacrificed because of the slight interests of the officers in the rear. At least the soldiers who rush to the front can get the benefits they deserve.

However, this is impossible. If the middle and upper-level officers who have such an idea can still win while pulling each other back, it will only make the matter worse.

After all, before the building collapses, those who poach people always think that their pickaxe will not be the last one, but when the building really collapses, it doesn’t matter whether it is the last one, because the people who are crushed to death are not just those who wield the pickaxe!

"You can say that I have some kind of moral cleanliness in this regard, but from my point of view, except for a very few people in the entire Ganges Legion, the others are no different to me, so the death of an ordinary soldier is not much different from the death of a middle-level officer." Chen Xi's face showed a gloomy look, "They are essentially the same."

For Chen Xi, in the Ganges, except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other brothers and friends who have walked hand in hand with him since the Taishan years, other people are no different to Chen Xi, whether they are middle-level officers or low-level soldiers.

That's why Chen Xi, who usually doesn't show strong emotions about anything, showed strong dissatisfaction with what happened in the Ganges.

"Someone needs to be responsible for this matter." Chen Xi said softly, and when he said this, Chen Xi slowly closed his eyes, "It's not just talk, but there must be a result. I'm waiting for that reply, even if it's not the best reply, but at least I need a reply."

The whole audience was silent, and Liu Bei was also silent. If he thought about it carefully, the root of the problem was indeed Lu Su. If Lu Su hadn't provoked this matter, now let alone dividing the cake, at least the knife would be stuck in the cake, waiting to be cut.

"I, Chen Xi, have had some strange ideas in the past 20 years, but for this country, for the people under my rule, and for the soldiers who conquered the four directions, at least I can say that I have a clear conscience. I have selfishness and desires, but I sit in this position, and what I do is never just for myself!" Chen Xi's eyes swept across the people present.

"Zijing apologized to me when he left. To be honest, I was just a little depressed at the time. But if it's just about me, how much impact did Zijing's actions have on me?" Chen Xi said indifferently.

Lu Su is indeed the second best in the world. Maybe when he was in Mount Tai, Chen Xi still respected Xun Wenruo, but Liu Bei's power had developed to the point of ruling the world. How could Chen Xi not know who was the big and small king?

But what about being the second best in the world? Lu Su integrated all the forces he could borrow, but he only knocked down Chen Xi's defense, forced a drop of blood, and then rebounded to kill a group of people behind Lu Su. Chen Xi was really upset because Lu Su finally chose this path.

It was clearly stated at the beginning that he didn't have to choose this path! Obviously, he was prepared and knew that Lu Su might take this path, but in the end they parted ways.

But if we talk about the harm, Lu Su made Chen Xi depressed for two months, and the actual harm was basically zero. So what if he was the second best in the world? He jumped out of the earth and saw Chen Zichuan's true face and recognized the reality. Isn't it still no impact?

In the imperial prison, Lu Su actually apologized to Chen Xi, but Chen Xi didn't need to apologize, because he didn't suffer any loss except for being in a bad mood. The real loss was those who surrounded Lu Su to bring up this matter and to inquire about Chen Xi.

Can Chen Xi really not see this result?

Chen Xi can see it. Chen Xi knew this result when he gave the answer. The reason he didn't want to say it was because he couldn't say it. If he said it, it would be the result now, but Lu Su forced Chen Xi to give the answer, and then everything developed to the present.

"Zi Jing has been in the Ganges for such a long time. If you haven't realized it before, you should be clear about it now. It's useless to apologize to me. It's also useless to apologize to those soldiers who are in danger of death because of this problem. Apologies are a courtesy when things are minor, but when things are so big..." Chen Xi said softly, and the faces of everyone present couldn't help but become much gloomier.

"I have already budgeted Yuanfeng's eleven-year pension in advance. There is only so much I can do." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei quietly and said, while Liu Bei fell into endless silence.

Chen Xi is right. If we really want to get to the bottom of this matter, we must find someone to take the blame. It must be Lu Su. It is true that the generals who asked Lu Su to ask this question also have some ideas, but Lu Su will not ask. , this matter can be suppressed until the last minute.

Saying that Chen Xi doesn't understand people's hearts and saying that Chen Xi lets the hounds eat first ignores a very important point, that is, the development documents and fiefdom orders under Liu Bei were issued at the same time as Jiangdong. If you really think that the losers are competing If you get more yourself, you can actually just leave with the fiefdom order.

If you can't even get the title of fiefdom, then you don't even have the qualifications to say this!

Essentially, the generals under Liu Bei are guaranteed to be better than those of the Jiangdong family, because the total area of ​​Indochina alone is equal to the entire Jiangdong, and the land and climate are more suitable for farming. In addition, Liu Bei does not have a family to divide the meat. The family They were all kicked out early by Chen Xi. In this way, the benefits that the generals under Liu Bei's command would receive would be greater than those of the same level generals in Jiangdong.

Therefore, Chen Xi's judgment early in the morning was so overwhelming. Even if the middle and upper-level generals had doubts, their guarantees were already better than those of other guys. The prestige and morals of Chen Xi and Liu Bei, as well as the confidence they had built up over the years, were not worth a weight. Already?

The fact is as Chen Xi estimated. After Liu Bei clearly started to issue development documents and fiefdom orders, the middle-level people with titles of seventh level and above knew that their guarantees were at least not weaker than those of other forces of the same level. However, Chen Xi and Liu Bei had spent so many years Credibility adds to this perception.

Even now, Chen Xi thinks about it and realizes that he was indeed fooled by Lu Su's boxing skills at that time. He was confused for two months. If he had the sense now, he would definitely laugh at Lu Su on the spot!

Because thinking about it now, those people asked Lu Su to ask, probably because they were curious about how much they could get in the future. But if Chen Xi didn't say anything, he just smiled and said, you guys, we haven't killed Kushan yet, so I started thinking about rewards. How can this be done? Of course I can’t say, but you have followed the Taiwei for so many years and you know what I am like, Chen Xi. I have never failed one of my own in all these years. You can think about it with confidence. I guarantee that you will be extremely happy when the time comes. !

Chen Xi seemed like he didn't say anything, but in fact he said everything.

The generals and soldiers who heard this must have been confused. Due to the situation at the time, it was impossible to think that what Chen Xi said was actually the answer. The so-called reward was to enfeoff the essence of Kushan.

But with Chen Xi’s reputation for more than ten years, and the fact that the Han Dynasty has been flourishing under Chen Xi’s management for so many years, the middle-level generals can clearly feel the country’s rapid development. Under these multiple guarantees, this group of people will still maintain their previous status and work hard. Fight for the country.

Then Guishan rushed to the streets and enfeoffed people on the spot. What Chen Xi said back then would be instantly interpreted by all the generals, and the so-called guarantee of happiness was real!

It can be said that Chen Xi even prepared the lines after the final enfeoffment on the spot - I said it back then, but you guys are not smart and didn't expect it, so don't blame me! Just tell me whether you are happy or not!

It's a pity that Lu Su's combination of punches really made Chen Xi mentally retarded, and directly revealed the answer, so that the matter developed to this point. Every time he thought about it, Chen Xi felt that he was really angry for a moment, and his mind was confused and blind. After all, of course, Lu Su will have no problem taking the biggest blame!

This is also the reason why Chen Xi tried hard to clean up the mess after the matter reached this stage. After cleaning up for a while, he felt something was wrong. Why was I the only one cleaning up the mess? Where is Lu Su? If you hadn't beaten me with a combination of punches back then, I am mentally retarded, how could I make such a mistake!

Liu Bei sighed after hearing this, but finally said nothing. Chen Xi and Lu Su were his right-hand men before, but Lu Su made a mistake!

Well, Liu Bei also knew that Lu Su actually did not make a mistake for a while, but thinking of the days when everyone drank and talked happily, Liu Bei inevitably felt a little pity for Lu Su.

"Now here comes the problem. Can Zijing solve the problem that Zichuan can't solve?" Fazheng crossed his arms and said with a bit of teasing, "How can the Political Yuan let you, Chen Zichuan, lead you to depression alone? I, Fazheng, am still here." Well, we must work hard to enliven the atmosphere.

"It may not be impossible to solve." Chen Xi said seriously.

Fazheng was stunned when he heard this. He recalled Lu Su's "voice, appearance, and appearance," but he didn't remember that Lu Su had such an ability.

"Suppose you are on the front line, can you find those generals who have ulterior motives?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow and asked, "If the time is extended to more than a year, can you find these people?"

"Even if you can't find them all, you can still find 90%." Fazheng raised his eyebrows and said confidently, then there was a bit of trouble on his face, "But even if you find it, you can't solve the problem, because some things are controversial. I can sense their thoughts, but if they don’t do it, I can’t deal with it. Even if they do it, but there are no serious consequences, I can only reprimand them.”

This is the most uncomfortable part. The idea of ​​​​preventing problems before they happen is correct, but if others are just thinking about it in their minds and have not yet taken action, then they cannot be held accountable based on this. Furthermore, considering that these people themselves have already suffered certain Because of his meritorious deeds, even if he commits certain actions, as long as they do not cause serious consequences, it is impossible to deal with him severely according to the first time he makes a mistake.

After all, those who can do these things, or are qualified to do such things, have accumulated at least twelfth and third-level titles over the years, otherwise they would not even be qualified to do such things.

To a certain extent, their past qualifications and achievements have become their talismans at this time. Considering the number of these people, even if Fazheng knew that these people had some ideas, it would be difficult to deal with them directly before the incident happened. And when something really happened, even if Fazheng sent people to keep an eye on it, it would be impossible to deal with it, not to mention that it couldn't be too obvious about such a thing.

From a certain perspective, these are also some difficulties that decent people cannot avoid when doing things - even if you know that the other party has a problem, and you are even sure that the other party will do bad things in the future, but you have no evidence and sufficient reasons, you can't do anything Take the opponent down directly.

"Zijing is like you. Zijing has stayed in Ganges for more than a year. What should be found by now should have been identified. Although I dare not say that all middle-level generals have been identified, 90% of them should be identified. ." When Chen Xi said this, he even showed some confidence in Lu Su.

"Then what's next?" Fazheng asked with a raised eyebrow. The problem is not to find these people, the problem is to take down these people for what reason. A suitable reason is not that easy.

"The next step is to see how determined Zijing is." Guys like Li You and Jia Xu, who have no bottom line, have already realized what the possible operations are.

"It's just that the fundamental problem has not been solved." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and asked, "It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."

"I don't need to cure the root cause. All I need is to reduce the losses and bring them back to a range I can accept. As I said before, I just hope that those front-line soldiers who are full of passion will not let the middle- and upper-level generals The temporary desire is wasted on unnecessary battlefields," Chen Xi said calmly, "It's impossible to cure the root cause from the beginning."

"It's a completely messed up idea." Man Chong said angrily.

"It's not that I want to mess it up, but all the plans can't solve the problem at its root, so I can only choose this plan." Chen Xi said seriously, "From the time this matter was exposed the year before last, to the situation that has taken a turn for the worse. , and then I couldn’t control my chaotic heart no matter what, I knew that when things got to this point, I shouldn’t think about making big profits, it would be good if I could stop the losses.”

"How about I go to the Ganges River and talk to them?" Liu Bei suddenly said, "Or I can go there in person during the next battle of the Ganges River."

"It can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. I have already considered this, and it will also cause a certain loss to your prestige. In fact, if you lose a game, waking up these guys is the most correct choice. It is just a mistake of the middle and upper levels. , Why should the lower class shoulder the responsibility?" Chen Xi said with a bit of displeasure.

"If we can accurately let the mistakes of the middle and upper levels backfire on the middle and upper levels, I don't care about winning or losing the next game. However, if the tactics of the middle and upper level generals respond to errors at the level, the bottom layer will be the most affected. The ability of both parties to resist risks is fundamental. They are not on the same level, and the bottom is always the first to face the backlash in this wave." Chen Xi crossed his hands and supported his head, with a cold look in his eyes. He was very dissatisfied with this situation!

This is no longer looking at the problem from a military perspective, but the most practical one. Looking at the problem from a moral and fair perspective, Chen Xi does not ask for much. However, even this small amount is difficult in the current situation. accomplish!

"Okay, let's put this matter to an end now and wait for Zijing's reply." Liu Bei interrupted Chen Xi. Having worked with Chen Xi for so many years, Liu Bei had already realized that Chen Xi was stubborn in some aspects and continued to struggle with this matter that could not be resolved in a short time. In Liu Bei's view, the resulting incident would only waste Chen Xi's energy. It would be better to remove Chen Xi from this matter first, and then let Chen Xi clean up the mess after the dust has settled.

"..." Chen Xi was silent for a while after hearing this, and turned to look at Liu Bei, but in the end he did not refute. After all, Chen Xi really couldn't get any results from this matter now, so he could only wait for Lu Su's reply. If Lu Su didn't reply, This matter can only wait for another result.

"Zichuan, follow me out for a few rounds. If you stay here, you won't be able to work well. Go out and relax." Liu Bei greeted Chen Xi. He was somewhat aware that Chen Xi had been struggling with this matter. To be honest, Liu Bei has never seen Chen Xi feel sad about things that have good results in so many years. Everything is handled by Chen Xi with ease.

What should I say about what happened this time? In Liu Bei's opinion, it was indeed terrible, but it was also terrible. Li You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Fazheng, and even Liu Ye in the court all analyzed it for Liu Bei. After that, there is no solution to this matter, but really it is not a big deal.

After losing a game, the frontline will naturally change its mentality. Even if it is ambitious and wants to get a larger feudal country, even if it is a real bad guy, it will restrain itself under the premise of harming others and itself.

What's more, the evil of most generals is just too smooth, which makes them think that Guishang is nothing more than that. If they want to hold back, they really want to kill their old brother. In Liu Ye's opinion, they haven't reached that point yet.

Just like Huo Nu back then, before he got the North Street shop for the first time, he had no ambition. Before he accidentally killed Han Zijiang, the biggest evil he did was to talk nonsense and make some money. , corrupt and corrupt, and not very big at playing.

At least for Huonu Sixth Level Smelting and the chief military instructor of Jizhou, even if these things were brought to Liu Bei's face, he would be jailed at most.

Chen Xi even asked at that time, if Liu Bei had discovered Huo Nu's problem before accidentally killing Han Zijiang, how would Liu Bei have dealt with it? Liu Bei said that he would deal with it according to law, but he also said later that when Huo Nu changed his behavior, When new players come out, Liu Bei will still give him a hand. After all, Liu Bei is such a benevolent leader.

There is such a process for Huonu's deterioration, so there must be a process for the fall of General Ganghe. A wise man like Liu Ye who can analyze from the perspective of others can easily simulate dozens of Chinese characters according to Liu Bei's description. The superior general then gave the answer.

Liu Ye even taunted Liu Bei in front of him: "Those guys who feel that their comrades have changed now are all protected by Chen Zichuan. The world should not be white, but Chen Zichuan's lone moon turns the night into darkness." It’s all illuminated, so that these people who have experienced darkness and hell think that this is how the world should be. In fact, people in the world are also cannibals!”

"It only takes one defeat for most people who have this idea to give up. Most people in this world are just mediocre people. Even if they want to be bad guys, they can't do it completely from the beginning. Putting aside their conscience, even if most ordinary people want to become bad people, they have to take it step by step." When Liu Ye said this, there was no trace of sarcasm on his face.

Liu Bei thought about it, it was true, most ordinary people did not become bad overnight.

With this foundation in place, although Liu Bei still felt dissatisfied with what happened in the Ganges River, he would not be as heartbroken as Chen Xi.

After all, the era Liu Bei lived in and the era Chen Xi lived in were completely different things. No matter how kind Liu Bei was, he had seen devastation and the world falling apart. He could make his own choices in pain, and he could Accept the sacrifice, even if this part of the sacrifice is not what Chen Xi thinks it should be, looking at the overall situation, Liu Bei can still accept this fact.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Liu Bei can fully understand Chen Xi's kindness, but also because of this understanding, when Liu Bei discovered that Chen Xi was in some kind of dilemma because of his own morality, he decisively ended the discussion on the matter because there was nothing Meaning, no one can solve it. Now that the matter has reached this point, it’s better to wait until it happens and then find a way to solve it!

After dragging Chen Xi away from the Political Yuan, Liu Bei and Chen Xi wandered around the palace and soon arrived at Shanglin Garden. They randomly picked up some edible cookies and cookies. The two of them didn't wash them. After two clicks, he started chewing it.

Somehow, this is also the reason why Cookie ran away after planting in Shanglin Garden for a while, because there were too many pests in Shanglin Garden, and you couldn't kill these pests.

"Zichuan, why don't you study how to get the people to eat more meat during the New Year?" Liu Bei casually raised an issue and greeted Chen Xi while chewing a cucumber.

"I've been talking about this for many years, and I've worked hard over the years, right?" Chen Xi took a bite of cucumber and said with a somewhat casual tone, "Look, six or seven years ago, we were there When I eat pickles in my private home, they still use minced meat. Three or four years ago, diced pork began to be produced, and the year before last it became cubed meat. I have been making progress in this aspect. "

Being able to eat meat is a very critical point. Being able to eat it universally means the overall improvement of the social foundation.

The current average height of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty is ten to fifteen centimeters higher than that of the Nangui soldiers, and the average weight of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty is more than forty kilograms heavier than that of the Nangui soldiers. Let's put it this way, if the weapons and equipment are thrown aside and the two sides fight each other, the Han Dynasty will have a much greater chance of winning. Kushan.

To be honest, both sides are not even the same weight class.

And this is the meaning of Chen Xi's research on allowing ordinary Han people to eat meat for so many years. Compared with the past when they could only taste a few bites in good years, now they can see it at least every few days. Put aside the question of how much. Chen Xi really solved the problem.

"The development of technology has solved many problems. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess reminded me, I have asked people to study the technologies of ham, bacon, and bacon. Because these technologies currently exist, they just need to be improved, so I only use them. It will bear fruit in a year or two." Chen Xi took two bites of the cucumber and said, "The food in the cookie garden is really delicious."

"In fact, even in the past, I was more limited by the issue of shelf life and could not transport the meat from the northern ranches to the densely populated areas in the middle. Now, the shelf life of bacon, cured goose, and ham is as short as half a year. "It's enough for me to rely on the logistics industry that is not yet established to deliver these things to various places," Chen Xi said with a bit of pride.

As for saying that eating too much of these things will cause cancer, how should I put it? Just eating too much of one of these things is not something most families can achieve these days. Another thing, cancer can basically be regarded as a disease of wealth by default for ancient people, because ordinary families simply cannot survive. When it comes to cancer...

So compared to the benefits of eating meat to strengthen the body, the probability of getting cancer after the age of sixty increases several times. In this country, the average life span of ordinary people is less than thirty. After Chen Xi, the average life span increased by 5%. Even if you are ten years old, you will not reach the age of sixty. Is this a problem? This is not it!

This thing is just like telling ordinary people in modern times that if you drink alcohol, eat meat, and have beer and barbecue every day, you will be riddled with diseases when you are 140 years old. Who will care, just feel good and be done with it!

In short, the roast meat and ham industries are booming. For this reason, roast meat and ham factories have been built near major ranches in the north, effectively reducing losses.

"General, Lord Chen~" Just when Chen Xi and Liu Bei were talking nonsense, Si Niang passed by with a basket. Seeing Liu Bei and Chen Xi, she waved without the temperament of a concubine, and then refreshed on the side.

"Meet Concubine Xian." After all, Liu Bei was next to him, Chen Xi couldn't greet him casually, so he bowed and Si Niang also smiled and returned the greeting.

"Here, I just happened to meet you. Please eat duck legs." Si Niang took out a box from the food box and handed it to Liu Bei.

I don't want to talk, everyone remember to participate in the tenth anniversary event. Some small draws can be participated by voting for monthly tickets. If you are interested and don't know how to participate, you can go to the main group to find Xiaozhi, and wait for me to post an announcement or something like that.
