"I have a general understanding of the situation." Liu Bei nodded. Chen Xi relied on feeling and intuition to do certain things. Liu Bei also knew that, but since he had never seen Chen Xi mess up anything important in many years, so
Liu Bei didn't pay too much attention.
"In short, let's leave it like this. I can do business, health, medical care, and education. I always feel that if I leave it to others, I will be screwed up." Chen Xi said helplessly, and Liu Bei didn't bother to refute Chen Xi's words.
.
"I forgot to ask you. You obviously came to see us before. What happened?" Liu Bei changed the subject and asked.
"I've been so focused on debating about people who have left their jobs that I've forgotten that there is such a thing." Chen Xi said speechlessly, "I came to see Mr. Xuande because I actually have something to inform you."
"What's the matter?" Liu Bei asked, "It's not a small matter to have Zichuan come here in person."
"Well, let's talk about the first thing first, which is about the death of the late emperor." Chen Xi sighed and said.
When Cao Cao and Liu Bei heard this, their expressions became solemn, and they were no longer as calm as before. Although both of them were very dissatisfied with Liu Xie, considering the status of the other party, this matter must be answered, at least on the stage.
Answers that are understandable.
Mi Zhu, Wei Qi and others bowed and left immediately after hearing this. They also knew that there were some things that they had better not listen to. Although their levels were already very high, things like level also depended on who they were compared with.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao also knew that they couldn't talk nonsense about this matter, so they allowed Wei Ji and Wei Zi to leave, and then waited for Chen Xi's words.
"This matter can no longer be investigated. I think Xun Wenruo should also vent his anger on Mr. Cao." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei and said. Cao Cao's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Is that so?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Xi with a heavy expression and said.
"No, but because of the reasons that Mr. Cao knows now, it is almost impossible to continue the investigation. We plan to expose it first and then investigate again." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Mr. Xuande, if this matter is investigated
If it goes down, it will affect too many gray areas.”
Liu Bei's face darkened. When Chen Xi came to solemnly inform him of the matter, Liu Bei understood that it was time to come to an end.
"Zichuan, according to your intuition, who did it?" Liu Bei suddenly said. It seems that Liu Bei still hopes to give an explanation to Liu Xie's spirit in heaven.
"If I can find any clues, I can find it through other methods, but there is no way this time. Similarly, Zhong Yuan often can directly judge the results by intuition, but I guarantee that there is nothing he can do." Chen Xi spread his hands, and this time
There is really no way.
To be honest, Chen Xi is now inclined to think that this incident was an accident, because Chen Xi estimates that there are three crazy people who can set fire to Weiyang Palace, and there are probably a dozen or more who are ready to kill chickens to scare monkeys.
"If that's the case, then let's do it. When the time comes, let's go together and keep vigil for the emperor." Liu Bei was silent for a while. Chen Xi's words had already given him a rough estimate of part of the content, so all Liu Bei could do was to feel relieved.
"That's fine." Chen Xi nodded, "The second thing is that the countries in the Western Regions are in turmoil again. Wuji's military strength is no longer enough to suppress it. Moreover, because we let it go for too long, the countries in the Western Regions have already had some problems.
Indifferent to the majesty of the Han Dynasty."
"Hmph, a small country in the Western Regions actually still has the heart to be in turmoil?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a cold light. His ambition was to be the general of the Han Dynasty's Western Conquest. Naturally, he also had a certain understanding of the area. Although it was not in-depth, the vassal countries that dared to rebel were in trouble.
It seems that Cao Cao should remove them all.
"Actually, if we hadn't rushed Chi Yanghou and Meiyang Hou to the Western Regions a few years ago because we couldn't handle them well, maybe the situation would be even worse now." Chen Xi spread his hands.
Cao Cao nodded silently when he heard this. When Li Jue and Guo Si escaped, Liu Bei got a lot of benefits for nothing. And it was precisely because of those benefits that Hua Xiong was able to complete the decisive victory in the battle between Yuan and Liu, directly defeating Yuan Shao.
The rear army established the victory.
"Zichuan, what do you mean?" Liu Bei asked knowingly.
"Sending troops, to be honest, no matter what the character of that guy is, the people of Yongliang actually still recognize Marquis Chiyang. After all, most of the current rivers and water networks in Yongliang were repaired and dredged by him. If he really gets it back, he will deal with it.
It's also a trouble." Chen Xi looked thoughtful.
In fact, this is a big part of the reason why Li Jue, Guo Si and others ran away so readily and no one went after them. The millions of people in Yongliang didn't care what Li Jue did back then. They
Perhaps the most profound impression was that Li Jue took them everywhere to dredge rivers and water networks so that they could have food.
This also led to the fact that although Li Jue did a lot of dirty things, if he really wanted to follow the law, he should be beheaded and then discard the body after being captured. The problem is that what Li Jue later did under Zhong Yao's command actually brought benefits to millions of Yongliang people.
Believe it or not, if you wanted to kill Li Jue, the people would protect him.
There were many righteous people in Yanzhao, and there were also many people like Yongliang, so in the end Li Jue was defeated. Under the guidance of the steward of the Li Ru sect, after doing a lot of work, he fled to the Western Regions, and there was no one to chase him.
Not even an order was issued to deprive Li Jue and others of their titles.
Cao Cao also turned a blind eye to this aspect. Li Jue really had an amulet on him at the time. Although he was not incapable of killing, he caused trouble for a guy who had little to do with him and who had also lost the power of repetition.
The public resentment is boiling under his own rule, come on, it's better to just turn a blind eye.
"That's right." Cao Cao nodded, "It's better to let him stay in the Western Regions and move his official position to save him from coming back to cause trouble. As for the situation he mentioned, it is not impossible to allocate some troops to him from Chang'an.
"
Cao Cao completely wanted to prevent Li Jue and Guo Si from coming back to cause trouble. For him, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were considered waste and reused. Although the characters of those three guys were a bit scumbag, these three guys
Even Cao Cao fully recognized his ability to lead troops in combat.
"What I mean is to teach the thirty-six countries in the Western Region a lesson, so that they don't have any unnecessary thoughts." Chen Xi said casually, with a tone that didn't sound like he wanted to clean up many countries, but like he was asking what we will eat today.
What.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that a lot of troops are needed." Cao Cao hesitated a little, "It cost a lot of money for Emperor Xiaowu to attack the Western Regions back then, and the Western Regions were quite far away from us, and it was too difficult to get there. Even if we could win temporarily, we would still have to fight.
Abandoned."
Liu Bei squinted at Chen Xi, who curled his lips and said, "Just leave this matter to me. I will naturally have a way to make it a Han territory forever."
