Chapter 2075 It’s great that you are so strong but also love peace!
"Zichuan, let's go, come to my place. It's been a long time since we had a good chat. Although you have been quite free, you often can't find anyone." Liu Bei saw Chen Xi turning around Yecheng to run away, and stretched out his hand.
He grabbed Chen Xi and said.
"It makes me a little embarrassed when you say that." Chen Xi said with a hint of embarrassment.
"Let's go to my home. There are some things I want to know about to avoid any disputes in the future because I don't know much about them." Liu Bei didn't pay attention to Chen Xi's expression and dragged Chen Xi towards his home.
"My lord, Marquis Chen!" When Liu Bei dragged Chen Xi back, Xu Chu was guarding the door intently. When he saw the two coming, he bowed and saluted, then stood there like a wall.
"Zhongkang, you are still as strong as before." Chen Xi waved and followed Liu Bei inside.
After the two of them finished cooking, Liu Bei's maid arranged tea, snacks and other things before silently leaving.
"Xuan Degong, speaking of it, you informed me so urgently. Except for that time, I have never seen you before." Chen Xi took a sip of tea. Liu Bei came to Chen Xi so urgently. Chen Xi only remembered
One time was the death of Wang Yun.
Liu Bei paused after hearing this and said after a while, "I won't mention what happened back then. I came to you this time. Actually, I mainly want to ask you what to do next. Although you said we were going to fight out, I am now
I still feel guilty. To be honest, the ideals I had when I was young are a bit insignificant compared to what I am accomplishing now."
When Liu Bei said this, he clearly sighed. Everyone thought that his childhood ideal was extremely lofty. However, reality is more terrifying than fantasy. Now for him, as long as he is willing to complete that ideal, he will complete it.
is more perfect than ever imagined.
Because of this, Liu Bei was deeply worried. Ma Di's previous reply touched Liu Bei to a great extent and reminded Liu Bei of his past ideals. Looking at it now, from a certain perspective, he has actually completed his dream.
ideal.
"Everyone will grow, and isn't it a good thing to realize one's ideals?" Chen Xi said with a smile, without Liu Bei's feeling of worry at all.
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that my ideal is almost completed. Even the super ancestral ancestors that I promised at the beginning can be seen in full." Liu Bei said slowly, and then took a deep breath.
The tone is, "Zichuan has come to you, tell me your unfinished ideals, it's time for me to help you complete them!"
"Compared with those low-level desires in terms of material, power, and interests, I have never felt them from you from the beginning. You are lazy, but your self-discipline is also the best among all people. You have always had a clear
Only with lofty ambitions can you stay consistent with your goals." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with great solemnity.
"I can almost see the outcome of my ideal. I will be stronger than all my predecessors. The people under my rule will live a better life and be more moral than them. The path I have chosen is becoming a reality."
Come to the end." At this moment, Liu Bei was high-spirited and his tone was passionate.
"My ideal..." Chen Xi thought for a while, then shrank back and did not speak after a while.
"Zichuan, what are you afraid of? With your support, I, Liu Bei, could be where I am today. Do you think that I, Liu Bei, am a person who never repays his kindness?" Liu Bei saw Chen Xi shrinking and said with some depression.
"That's not true. You can rest assured about Mr. Xuande." Chen Xi put down the tea cup and said calmly, "My ideal does require the support of an entire country to achieve it, but this is probably not just my ideal.
ah."
"Xuan Degong, you have just stepped onto the path to the ideal of surpassing the ancestors. If you really want to say it, you are still far from it." Chen Xi said calmly, "One point and one hundred points are compared to zero points.
, is also transcendence, but the latter is far more terrifying than the former.”
"I am not yet forty years old. I still have plenty of time. As long as the direction I am heading in is correct, one point and one hundred points are just a matter of time for me." Liu Bei looked at this moment with strong confidence.
By Chen Xi.
"Well, yes, as long as the direction is right, it is only a matter of time before one point and one hundred points." Chen Xi nodded silently and said, "Tell me why you are so curious about my ideal."
"Because you haven't changed. There is almost no change between you now and you who were once in Hulao Prison. Your experience is enriching and your abilities are strengthening, but your will has never changed. From the beginning to now, you
I have always been moving in the same direction clearly and clearly, and I have never been confused." Liu Bei said very seriously.
"How should I put this? Others are confused about the direction, or doubt whether they will fail. In my opinion, there are clear results. When others still need to verify and summarize, for me, there are already clear results.
." Chen Xi said after a while, clearly seeing the advantages of the lower reaches of the long river of history.
"You are still as confident as ever, so much so that it can even be called arrogant, but it is true that you, standing at the top of all civil servants, are indeed qualified to be arrogant." Liu Bei said with emotion with a smile on his face.
"Is it possible that, until now, you are still far away from your dream?" Liu Bei's expression changed and he asked with curiosity.
"Is it far?" Chen Xi asked in a thoughtful tone, "It doesn't seem far, but it's not close either."
"However, I have never changed this ideal from the beginning. In my opinion, this is one of the few good opportunities for China. The spirit of martial arts is engraved in the bones and blood of the entire nation. Likewise, this era has countless essences, emphasizing both civil and military affairs.
"Chen Xi said slowly.
"I never understood why we had a civil war. It was clear that the Shang and Zhou dynasties understood that all Xia were one, and divided the people of all Xia to consolidate China and expand China's territory. It is clear that we are powerful enough to fight out and expand our territory abroad, but one
They died in the war at home." Chen Xi's eyes clearly showed a look of pity.
"Later, when I reached this position, I understood it, or I understood it myself, but I had never lifted the lid. But when I sat in this position, many things became clear at a glance." Chen Xi said with a deep look.
Liu Bei was helplessly describing these things, while Liu Bei listened silently and did not interrupt Chen Xi's tone of voice, which was like reminiscing.
"It is true that fighting is difficult, the difficulty of marching, acclimatization, logistical support, the extreme wall of the empire, and a series of other problems, but when you think about the civil servants and generals who died in the country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the warriors who died in the country, it is really not necessarily
More people will die than if they were beaten out." Chen Xi recounted the past in a wistful tone.
"I can build roads, I can increase the yield of acres, I can improve infrastructure, I can plan construction, I can do a lot of things. I pride myself on being able to do all the logistics for conquering the Central Plains, but I can't do it.
Change people's hearts." Chen Xi described with a hint of helplessness.
"A war caused by selfish interests and desires is, in my opinion, the easiest to resolve, but a war caused by will and will, and both sides are fighting for justice, it is natural that a river of blood will flow in the end." Chen Xi's voice
It was three points lower, which was quite disappointing.
"Except Sun Bofu, the war between you and Cao Sikong is actually a battle of wills. You both have very clear wills and are convinced that you are fighting for this country and the people. You may have selfish desires.
, but generally speaking, it is for the country and the people." Chen Xi described the historical situation calmly.
Cao Cao's sentence "If there is no one in the world, I don't know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be called kings." Although it is arrogant, it is true. Liu Bei also has a similar will. Both of them are correct in terms of will, so
They will fight to the death.
The reason why the war between desire and self-interest is easy to resolve is that they are realistic, but the war between will and will, to put it bluntly, you cannot understand what I am carrying!
Cao Cao can break through the bottom line of human beings to realize his ideals and implement his own will. Liu Bei can maintain his bottom line in the most difficult times and not go against his own will. What the hell if these two guys can coexist, what the hell are these two guys?
War is a war of pure will in name only.
Therefore, Chen Xi hates wars caused by will and the ideals he carries, because once it becomes like this and the opponent's body is not destroyed, no one can win the final victory.
However, the human heart is like this. It has the power to implement ideals and will, so who will give in and make way for other people's ideals?
This was an issue that Chen Xi had to consider in the early days of his administration, because in order to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains, then don't kill these essences if you can. If you don't kill them, it means that the opponent will continue to grow, which will lead to a collision of wills.
It will get closer and closer.
It wasn't until later that Chen Xi figured out why I was thinking about this. There was something wrong with my brain. What I should actually be thinking about was how to become stronger, stronger, and better than everyone else.
How strong is it?
Of course, he was so strong that Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and all those who were dissatisfied with him realized, "It's great that you are so strong and also love peace!"
In this case, whether I want peace, war, or fight, isn't it all a matter of my words?
So regardless of his will or not, regardless of his ideals or not, get stronger, continue to get stronger, and keep getting stronger until all of you feel that Liu Bei is really sincere in offering this condition, and the other party will not destroy you.
You should be grateful. If you are qualified to negotiate terms with the other party, it is because the other party gives you face!
