Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu with a frown slightly, and knew very well that the other party was under great pressure now. Liu Bei deeply felt that after such a military parade, anyone who had the idea of ​​continuing to fight with him would probably be under great pressure. To be honest, before the military parade, Liu Bei didn't know how strong he was.

Liu Bei actually respected Zhou Yu very much, just like after the Northern Xinjiang, all the generals respected Zhou Yu very much.

This is entirely due to the ordinary people's heartfelt respect for the strong, and hundreds of thousands of troops command at will on the battlefield. This is not something you can do just by wanting to do. Zhou Yu, who is only 23 or 24 years old, is already at the peak of this era.

It can be said that for the current Han Dynasty, Chen Xi, who is a peak that cannot be overcome by his civil officials, is also a peak that Zhou Yu seems to have become a sinkhole that he cannot get by his life. In addition to his strong abilities, these two guys have another big problem, young!

Therefore, even if Zhou Yu chose the path of self-destruction, Liu Bei would still respect Zhou Yu. This is a strong man, but he was too destined to meet an opponent like Chen Xi who did not follow the common sense.

"It's like this, Duke Xuande, who is your opponent?" Zhou Yu's wrinkles between his eyebrows trembled twice, and inexplicably looked a little vicissitudes.

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

"Yes, if you cut off half of your elite troops in this military parade, it can probably be said that it is to defeat us. With your strength now, you are completely different from us. Who is your opponent?" Zhou Yu said, and hesitated.

"Your current strength cannot be accumulated in a short while, that is to say, two years ago, or even earlier, or at the end of the Battle of Yuan and Liu, you already had half of the power we have seen now, and you already had the unified capital you had at that time." Zhou Yu asked with a solemn expression, and the Xiahou brothers also stopped the cup and looked at Liu Bei.

"Zichuan, please answer." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the back, "This military parade should be said to be a reflection of all your work so far, and you know better than me."

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

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

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

"Gongjin, actually, many people say that my approach is very strange." Chen Xi stood up and smiled and said to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu nodded after hearing this and admitted this statement.

"The problem is, I don't want to do this, but I don't do this. I'm not sure. I'm planning and military strategy. But if I really want to fight with you, the chance of winning is very small. Even those who are good at planning are good at planning, how can I say that, can I suppress you?" Chen Xi turned around and looked at Jia Xu and others, then looked at Zhou Yu.

"Hey, hey, don't pull us with a fight." Guo Jia and Fa Zheng almost synced and said to Chen Xi in the same tone.

"No, Jia Wenhe is a good plan, Xun Gongda is not a vegetarian, Guo Fengxiao and Fa Xiaozhi are amazing, but we are not unable to deal with it." Zhou Yu said slowly, Fa Zheng stared at Zhou Yu very unhappily. Although this is true, I am very unhappy to say that!

"Isn't that right? Since you are too stressed in tactical terms, then you are a very correct choice in strategy. The core of military strategy is to bully the weak by relying on the strong and attacking the weak by using the long. In fact, the most correct way to use military strategy is to use 10,000 civilians and 20,000 elite soldiers." Chen Xi spread his hands and said speechlessly.

"Here, this is what I thought at the beginning. Because I was so hurtful to fight with you, my plan from the beginning was to remain unchanged and adapt to everything. No matter what your strategy, my army would crush it, break the city when encountering the city, and break the water when encountering the water. The Yangtze River is too wide, there is no way, one thousand Five-generation ships sink into a dam, and if it doesn't work, two thousand more ships come!" Chen Xi said wildly with his left hand pressing his chest.

"Anyway, that's it. As for why you didn't just start unifying the world after the battle between Yuan and Liu, in fact, if you follow your thinking at that time, you can indeed unify it. You can destroy half of the Central Plains and fight the decline of people's livelihood in a few years. Then how many of you can stand in front of you here?" Chen Xi asked with disdain.

"Although we also know that you really want to retain the vitality of Zhongyuan, what we are more curious about is what pressure you have faced to make such a choice, what kind of enemies does Zhongyuan have, and it is worth your abandonment of the great cause of unification?" Zhou Yu asked slowly.

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

"Maybe in this world there were enemies that were enough to threaten us, or even to defeat our head-on, but now," Chen Xi said proudly, "We are already standing on the top of the world. For us, there are opponents and enemies, but to say that it is enough to threaten us, our deadly enemies no longer exist."

When Yuan and Liu fought, to put it bluntly, two peak kingdoms, or even two kingdoms close to the empire, were colliding.

Although after the war between the two, even if the victors' strength dropped to the level of a powerful kingdom, as the conquerors digested and absorbed the losers' territory, population, and resources, Liu Bei already had the capital of the empire when he met the Roman envoys.

Yuan Shao had almost all the capital of the imperial military power back then, and he lacked only two things, one that commanded the entire empire, and the other was the war potential of the complete empire.

What does the previous one say? When the kingdom reaches the empire through leapfrogging, the country, population, and resources will undergo great changes in all aspects, and the entire country will also experience painful institutional reforms, but this is something that has to be carried out.

Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and if they did not reform, they would die, but after the reform, there would be no sufficient stability period, and the collapse of the empire often starts with the system.

Liu Bei's destruction of Yuan Shao was equivalent to the merger of two major powers into an empire. They themselves had the same culture and race, no cultural conflicts, no blood feud, and the system was obviously continuation. This was the best opportunity for all major powers to upgrade their empires.

However, this kind of new empire was not so much a upgrade from a great power to an empire, but rather a new empire that inherited the unfinished system of the previous empire on the corpse of the empire.

This is how the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, because although the Qin Dynasty was dead, it did leave a complete system. If the Han Dynasty still wanted to reform, it would probably not be able to play well, causing social class turmoil. If the Han Dynasty might be fine, it would be a big fuss with the Qin Dynasty.

But even if the new empire was rebuilt from the corpses of previous generations, there would be a period of chaos, generally speaking, as short as five years or as long as ten years. At this time, the country's national strength has not been restored, and the country is still in the stage of running-in and adjustment, and there are various hidden dangers.

Only after these problems are solved will the new empire be considered born.

However, Liu Bei solved the system problem from the 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 included in the system, forcibly ending the local policy chaos period.

In fact, at that time, Liu Bei had already calculated a new empire with a population of nearly 30 million. After that, he implemented the policies prepared early in the morning step by step. Liu Bei's subordinates could liberate from agricultural production more and more people, which meant that Liu Bei's military strength was becoming stronger and stronger.

By this time, Chen Xi had no longer cared about the domestic situation, because everyone was smart and not anti-human destructionist. So when Chen Xi left obvious room, they would not seek death.

Chen Xi thought carefully that it was necessary to rest in the four major empires of Eurasia during this period. It was indeed necessary to rest in peace. Kushan was very strong, but if the complex contradictions in Kushan were not resolved, they would never be qualified to win the final victory from the Central Plains.

Rome OK, I have to say that Rome during this period was very powerful. Any army that could strangle the empire was the strongest elite in the era of cold weapons.

It doesn't matter whether Rome gained this power through military force or other means. It doesn't matter. Strong means strong and there is no need for any reason to explain.

Although Anxi was pressed by Rome for so long, she was not dead after all. The huge territory, the large population, and the strong foundation all represented their terrible potential for war. However, in official history, Severu traveled thousands of miles to Taixifeng and directly destroyed the country!

This direct attack on the Huanglong model is similar to the Han Dynasty's destruction of the Huns. Is the situation in China bad during the reign of Emperor Wu? It's really bad, and it's impossible to compare with the Wenjing period.

But when it comes to military affairs during the reign of Emperor Wu, the messy Emperor Wu in China was definitely the strongest among the pre-Han Dynasty, and it was strong enough to make everyone in front and behind tremble.

However, this did not scare Chen Xi. It was not that Chen Xi looked down on Rome. Before Rome could not solve the internal transportation network, the Romans stood up to death and stopped the Taixi Feng.

The resting kingdoms were defeated by the Romans several times. Why did the Romans give up? To put it bluntly, isn’t it because they exceeded the scope of rule and have no way to control them?

Severu was so rampant that he almost plundered all the west side of Anxi, and he would win every battle. In the end, he could only go back to Rome. With this ability to deploy troops, Chen Xi said that there was something terrible.

In this way, those who can sit on the card table and play cards are qualified to threaten the Han Dynasty. The distance is too far, so they can only wait for it to develop. When the Han Dynasty hits their noses, they will see a good deal. When other players face the Han Dynasty, the giant, unless they are good at one time, they should not think about winning without making mistakes or making jokes.
