Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2140 We are not the only one
Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu, who was frowning slightly, and knew very well that the other party was under a lot of pressure. Liu Bei deeply felt that after such a wave of military parades, anyone who thought of continuing to fight with him would probably be under a lot of pressure. To be honest, the military parade Before, Liu Bei didn't know how strong he was.

For Zhou Yu, Liu Bei actually respected him very much, just like all the generals respected Zhou Yu after Beijiang.

This is entirely out of ordinary people's respect for the strong from the bottom of their hearts. Hundreds of thousands of troops can command at will on the battlefield. Standing at the pinnacle of this era.

It can be said that for the current Han Dynasty, Chen Xi on the civil servant side is a peak that cannot be overcome by life and death. Similarly, on the commander-in-chief, Zhou Yu seems to have become a tiankeng that cannot be bypassed by life and death. These two guys are not only very capable. , and there is a big problem, young!
Therefore, even if Zhou Yu chooses the path of self-destruction, Liu Bei will still respect Zhou Yu. This is a strong man, but his fate is too bad, and he meets an opponent like Chen Xi who does not play cards according to common sense.

"That's it, Lord Xuande, who is your opponent?" After a while, Zhou Yu twitched the wrinkles between his brows, looking inexplicably more vicissitudes.

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

"That's right, if you cut off half of the elite of your military parade this time, you can probably say that it is to defeat us, but with your current strength, you are no longer on the same level as us. Who is your opponent? Who?" Zhou Yu stopped hesitating as soon as he spoke.

"Your current strength cannot be accumulated in a short period of time. That is to say, as early as two years ago, or even earlier, or it should be said that at the end of the battle between Yuan and Liu, you already had what we now have. Half of the power you have seen is the unified capital you already have at that time." Zhou Yu asked with a serious face, and Brother Xiahou also stopped drinking and looked at Liu Bei.

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

"It's not good to entrust the power of commentary to me." Chen Xi said with a smile, but still got up and smiled to explain.

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

"Okay, let me explain why." Chen Xi nodded and said.

"Gong Jin, many people say that my actions are weird." Chen Xi stood up and said to Zhou Yu with a smile. Zhou Yu nodded and admitted the statement.

"The problem is, I don't want to do it like this, but if I don't, I'm not sure. I'm planning. I can't say it's a scumbag in terms of military strategy, but if I really want to fight you, the chance of winning is very small. Even Jia Wenhe, Guo Fengxiao, Fa Xiaozhi How should I put this person who is good at planning, can he stabilize you?" Chen Xi turned around and glanced at Jia Xu and the others, then at Zhou Yu.

"Hey, hey, don't drag us into the quarrel." Guo Jia and Fazheng were almost in sync, and said to Chen Xi in the same tone.

"No, Jia Wenhe is exhaustive, and Xun Gongda is not a vegetarian. Guo Fengxiao and Fa Xiao are amazing, but we are not incapable of dealing with it." Zhou Yu said slowly, and Fazheng stared at Zhou Yu very unhappy. The words are true, but I am very upset when you say that!

"That's right. Since it's too much pressure on you tactically, then it's a very correct choice to engage you strategically. The core of the art of war is to bully the weak, and to attack the weak with the long. In fact, simply speaking, the most correct use of the art of war The method is, you take out [-] civilian men, and we take out [-] elite soldiers." Chen Xi said quite speechlessly, spreading his hands.

"Hey, that's what I thought at the beginning, because fighting with you is too exhausting, so from the very beginning, my plan was to stay the same and respond to all changes. No matter what your strategy is, my army will run over and break the city. If the water is cut off, the Yangtze River is too wide, so there is no way, one thousand fifth-generation warships are sunk and blocked into a barrier lake, if not, another two thousand ships will come!" Chen Xi said frantically, pressing his left hand on his chest.

"In short, that's it. As for why you didn't directly start to unify the world after the Yuan-Liu War. In fact, if you followed your thinking at that time, it was indeed possible to unify. Half of the Central Plains was smashed, and the people's livelihood was ruined. It can be unified, and how many of you here can stand in front of you?" Chen Xi asked with disdain.

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

"No." Chen Xi raised his right hand, shook his index finger, and rejected Zhou Yu's words.

"Perhaps in this world there were enemies who could threaten us, or even defeat us head-on, but now." Chen Xi said proudly, "We are already standing on top of the world. For us, we have opponents and enemies, but There are no enemies that threaten us enough to make us deadly."

During the battle between Yuan and Liu, to put it bluntly, it was two peak kingdoms, or even two kingdoms close to the empire, colliding.

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

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

How to say the previous one, when the kingdom reaches the empire by leaps and bounds, great changes will take place in all aspects of land, population, and resources, and the whole country will undergo painful system reforms, but this is something that has to be done.

When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, it would die if it did not reform the system, but after the reform, there was not enough stability, and it would also die. Many times the collapse of the empire started from the system.

Liu Bei's destruction of Yuan Shao is equivalent to the merger of two great powers into an empire. They have the same language and the same race, no cultural conflicts, no blood feuds, and the system has obvious continuity. This is the best opportunity for all major powers to upgrade their empires.

However, this is not so much an upgrade from a big country to an empire, as it is to rebuild another new empire that inherits the unfinished system of the previous empire on the corpse of the empire.

This is how the so-called Han-Qin system came about, because although the Qin Dynasty died, it did leave behind a complete system. If the Han Dynasty still wants to reform the system, I am afraid that one of them will not play well, causing social class turmoil. Maybe they will rush to the street with Qin Chao.

But even if the new empire is rebuilt from the corpses of the previous generation, there will still be a period of chaos. Generally speaking, the shortest period is five years, and the longest period is ten years. At this time, the national strength of the country has not recovered, and the country is still in the adjustment stage. , there are various hidden dangers.

After these problems are resolved, the new empire will be born.

However, Liu Bei solved the system problem from the very beginning, and the chaotic period was suppressed by Chen Xi for less than two years. After that, by building roads everywhere, all county-level administrations were incorporated into the system, and the local policy chaotic period was forcibly ended.

In fact, at that time, Liu Bei had already counted a new empire with a population of nearly 3000 million, and then implemented the policies that were prepared in the morning step by step, and Liu Bei could liberate more and more people from agricultural production. It means that Liu Bei's military strength is getting stronger and stronger.

By this time, Chen Xi had completely ignored the domestic situation, because everyone was smart and not some anti-human saboteur, so they would not seek death if Chen Xi left obvious leeway.

Chen Xi has thought carefully. Needless to say, the four great Eurasian empires in this period should rest in peace. Guishuang is very strong, but if the complicated conflicts in Guishuang are not resolved, they will never be qualified. Get the final victory from the Central Plains.

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

It doesn't matter whether Rome obtained this power by militarism or by other means, it doesn't matter if it is strong, it doesn't need any reason to explain.

Although Anxi has been pressed and beaten by Rome for so long, it is not dead after all. The huge territory, large population, and strong foundation all represent their terrifying war potential. Wanli hit Taixifeng and destroy the country directly!
This mode of directly attacking the Yellow Dragon is similar to the Han Dynasty's destruction of the Xiongnu. Was the domestic situation bad during Emperor Wu's time?Worse, it was really bad, and it couldn't be compared with the Wenjing period.

But if you want to talk about the military during Emperor Wu's period, Emperor Wu, who was in a mess in the country, was definitely the strongest in the pre-Han Dynasty, and he was strong enough to make everyone in front and behind tremble.

However, this doesn't scare Chen Xi, it's not that Chen Xi looks down on Rome, before Rome can't solve the internal transportation network, the Romans are desperate to stop Tessiphon.

The kingdom of Parthia has been defeated by the Romans several times. Why did the Romans always give up? To put it bluntly, isn’t it because they have exceeded the scope of their rule and have no way to control it?
Severus was so rampant, he almost plundered all the west of Anxi, he would win every battle, and in the end, he could only roll back to Rome. Chen Xi said that there was nothing terrible about the ability to deploy such troops.

In this way, in the world, those who can sit at the poker table and play cards, and those who are qualified to threaten the Han Dynasty, are too far away, so they can only wait for it to develop. When the Han Dynasty is on top of their noses, they will compete. Facing the giant of the Han Dynasty, unless you are good every time, don't even think about winning without making mistakes, what a joke.

"Gongjin, believe it or not, our opponents have never been you. For us, you are the descendants of the same race, the same ancestor, so we have never thought of turning you into losers. This world is very big. There are more than one strong family, and although we are proudly at the top, there are still coveters, and there are still those who are the same as the Han Dynasty, and we have not yet become the only one!" Chen Xi tilted his head slightly, and looked at Zhou Yu with calm eyes.

　There are actually too many things to talk about about the system, but if you think about it, forget it
