Chapter 6364: So what if I know?
When the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. This is Chen Xi's intuitive feeling, and it is also a fact that all senior leaders in Chang'an are aware of.
The problem is that some things are bad. Even if you know it, you can't change the fact. This is the most interesting thing about people's hearts.
"So you just watched helplessly?" Li You asked with a calm expression.
"If I don't look at it like this, how can I really take action?" Chen Xi looked at the sharp soldiers patrolling in front of Lanchi Palace with a calm expression, without any anger.
After all, Chen Xi knew what the result would be and what would happen in the middle a long time ago.
Some things can only be successful if they are done in one step at the last moment. Other times, as long as they are leaked, they will lead to another ending. This is the power of the human heart.
"For me, it doesn't really matter whether the middle-level generals were involved in that matter. What's important is that Zilong was not involved." Chen Xi looked at Weiyang Palace with a calm expression. Under the dry and cold winter, even the most beautiful palace in the world The prosperous Chang'an is also somewhat lonely.
"Participated." Li You said directly.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li You. The silence on his face could not be concealed. Then he realized that Li You actually didn't know, he just said that.
"I said that the middle-level generals were involved." Li You said almost through gritted teeth.
Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Li You quietly, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Zichuan, just say the things you are not satisfied with and correct the things you are angry about. That's you!" Li You stared at Chen Xi with solemn eyes, "Think about my life, the blow you are facing now is nothing. What, to put it too much, if I want to have such power as you, I have to overthrow all the guys I don’t like and compromise? Why should I compromise? I am the overall situation!"
Chen Xi laughed dryly when he heard this. Looking at the furious Li You, he had to admit that indeed, if Li You had the power he has now, let alone this world, at least the Han Dynasty would have been severely transformed by Li You. In the process There may be a lot of turmoil, but either Li You defeats all opponents, or Li You is nailed to the pillar of shame. There will be no third way.
"Listen to me, take advantage of the fact that except for General Guan and a few other high-level officials on the Ganges River side, and everyone else has gone to Northern Europe, do what needs to be done. If you don't want to, just let me or Wen He do it!" Li You said with an expression on his face. Looking at Chen Xi coldly, he said.
Zhao Yun's previous explanation in the Political Yuan was really okay. From Zhao Yun's standpoint and perspective, the truth was what he said. But everyone in the Political Yuan was a human being. Didn't Guo Jia know that?Guo Jia knew, so Guo Jia brought Zhao Yun over and asked Zhao Yun to express his judgment. From beginning to end, Guo Jia only talked about phenomena and did not say the real conclusion.
Doesn’t Fazheng know?After listening to Fazheng, he knew what the truth was. Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and even Liu Yan who was drinking tea suddenly realized what the truth was. However, no one showed their cards directly. Only Li You spoke directly, but he was Chen Xi interrupted directly.
Faced with Chen Xi's look, Li You could only turn the question in the direction that Chen Xi agreed with, but the two objects pointed at the shit basin had already explained the problem - there must have been mistakes, what Zhao Yun said was true, and the results of the investigation were at least superficial. This is indeed the case, but everyone present knows that if these things are to be realized, some of their own people will inevitably be involved.
I'm afraid the top management can't talk about it, because the top management has vaguely reached a consensus. Even if there are more Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Hua, it won't actually affect the overall situation, but if they have more or less, it will actually affect other people.
A grain of sand of the times becomes a mountain on everyone's shoulders. This may not be that exaggerated in terms of the overall situation, but it is not far off.
Chen Xi didn't want to expose it, and wanted to just stay in peace. After so many years, Li You had long seen that Chen Xi couldn't change his ways at all, he could only improve. This person's heart was actually very soft, and he could only harden his heart because of the knife. Chen Xi couldn't do anything to others or his own people.
Just like Chen Xi asked Liu Bei during the Jizhou case, what would Liu Bei do if Huo Nu was caught by Liu Bei when he was only guilty of dirty hands and feet during his fifth year in Yuanfeng.
At that time, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said that he would handle it according to the law, but Chen Xi laughed at him severely, because Chen Xi knew very well that Liu Bei could not do it at all, and Liu Bei would really not treat his own people badly.
He will clean up, but after that, Liu Bei will help the other party deal with the mess.
The same is true of Chen Xi's nature. He actually can't harden his heart to deal with his own people, especially when those own people really have reasons.
Li You has a very correct saying, that is, "Chen Xi, you are the overall situation." But most of the time, Chen Xi does not actually put himself in the overall situation, but tries to balance the situation as much as possible and take into account the interests of everyone as much as possible. As much as possible, all classes should receive the benefits they deserve.
For example, let's take this matter as an example. Not only does Chen Xi know very well what the middle-level generals on the Ganges side are thinking, I'm afraid he can probably guess most of it - our coach is assigned here, so the corps commander below the coach should be in this area. I This kind of middle-level general should be here...
Don't underestimate the analytical ability of military gangs. There is no weak person who can fight out from the battlefield. Every move they make on the Kushan map has a sufficient reason, but this is a sufficient reason for them, not Good enough reasons for everyone.
When each ink spot covers tens of thousands of acres, there are too many things to fight for.
Chen Xi can guarantee that Zhao Yun was not involved in this matter, but Zhao Yun, an honest man, knew that he would be assigned to the strategic location of Baloyaka in the future. When something happened to Baloyaka, even Guan Yu habitually dispatched Zhao Yun. When I went to investigate, I found that this was actually the true reaction of people.
It is true that Zhao Yun will not go out of his way to say or understand, but his lieutenants such as Xue Shao, Li Tiao, Zhang Zhu, and Gao Xiang will not know the answer, and will they expand on this answer to find their own positions, and then Will it extend further and further downward?
Will Zhao Yun know about this process? If he knows, will he stop it?
Chen Xi was not sure whether he knew this, but Chen Xi knew one fact, that is, if Zhao Yun really knew about it, he would not go out of his way to stop these people on this matter.It is precisely because of this logic that when many things extend downward, there will inevitably be some uncontrollable links and some unexpected situations.
"Zichuan, actually you know everything, right?" Li You took out an apple from his sleeve and threw it to Wu Anjun. Wu Anjun peeled it with the absolute god-slaying weapon You Xijian, then cut it into four pieces and gave them to Chen Xi , Li You each took one piece, and then placed one piece on a certain paw, and then the three of them started to eat the apple with one hand.
"Actually, before I dealt with the Zijing incident, when I was discussing with Masinde in high spirits, I heard Masinde say that 'Those who gather with righteousness will disperse when they are righteous.' I was still discussing us happily. , I think our loyalty can persist until the end." Chen Xi narrated with a touch of nostalgia.
"Then that scene happened, right?" Li You said very calmly, "When you said it was 'There is no beginning but there is an end', you actually knew that there would be this scene today, right?"
"Well, actually when Zijing took that step, I knew it would be like this." Chen Xi nodded and said, "I actually knew the current situation at that time."
"Is there no solution?" Li You stood up and looked at the soldiers under the steps and asked casually.
"There is no way to solve the problem of people's hearts. If I had persisted, I guess it should have been solved next year at the latest. Unfortunately, the current situation is like this. To be honest, do you think we can defeat the determined Oswin?" Chen Xi was very worried. He looked at Li You seriously and asked.
"Although I want to demonstrate how strong we are from many aspects, how many weapons and equipment we have, and how powerful the army is, but..." Li You sighed and looked at Chen Xi, "To be honest, we have so many advantages, I still I think I might not be able to beat Oswin.”
"You can't win." Li You may still be struggling, but Bai Qi on the side has already given the answer.
"Weapons and equipment are very important, but the gap between weapons and equipment has not yet reached the level of a decisive factor. There is a gap between the Kushan Empire and us in terms of equipment, but it is not so bad that we cannot fight at all. The shield guards only guarantee the lower limit. "Bai Qi explained with a calm expression.
"It's exactly as I expected." Chen Xi nodded bitterly.
The combat effectiveness of young master soldiers is very strong, but young master soldiers are not invincible. History has repeatedly demonstrated this, and even if the current Han Dynasty is not young master soldiers, they already have this problem in their mentality. I won’t mention it too much. The exaggerated part is that the mentality of the generals and soldiers of the Han army is no different from that of Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi. All he has to do is compose poems and prepare to capture Erqiao Southeast.
"Last year, what should I say about Zijing? You should also know that it is not just Zijing. The military has indeed contributed. It has been 15 years. I really should give an answer, so I finally gave the answer. Because I can understand." Chen Xi explained calmly while looking ahead.
"Did you investigate afterward?" Li You asked in disbelief. He thought that Chen Xi would just cut through the mess quickly, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi would actually investigate the reasons behind Lu Su. Ordinarily, Chen Xi would have the same mentality when facing Lu Su. , it would be impossible to investigate. After all, at that stage, it is impossible for someone without a hard heart to open the wound to see what is going on.
"No, but I know." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I was able to prepare a way out for Zijing so many years in advance before the Yuanfeng Dynasty when the situation was decided, because I knew what Zijing would encounter. Naturally I also know what kind of power it is.”
These are history, things that really happened in history, and experiences that Chen Xi had to learn from back then. Unfortunately, the only lesson that humans have learned from history is that humans have not learned any lessons from history.
So what if we knew it in advance?Chen Xi thought that Lu Su would not take the path, but Lu Su finally left, and even the driving force behind him was almost exactly the same. Is this because Chen Xi was unprepared?He was on guard, but it was meaningless. Lu Su also knew how to escape, but he chose not to escape.
"Well, without investigation, are you sure?" Li You looked at Chen Xi in surprise, "I remember that you always make arguments based on facts and will not rely solely on speculation to judge such a major matter."
"But when you knew something would happen ten years ago and left a way out for the other party, but the other party still took another path, do you still need to investigate?" Chen Xi's calm eyes There is a hint of helplessness in it, and there is really no solution.
Li You was silent when he heard this. Although last year when Chen Xi took out the sealed official document from Lu Su, Li You knew that Chen Xi had already prepared it, but when Chen Xi really said it, he knew everything. , Li You still felt too shocked.
"But you know everything, but you can't change it. Don't you think it's more helpless?" Chen Xi was a little sad, but it wasn't too sad. He had changed a lot of things, but some things were inevitable when he walked towards the throne. encounter situation.
"That's why I say that the choice I made at that time was definitely the right answer, but the right answer in reality is not the most appropriate answer." Chen Xi sat on the steps and did not hide his tiredness.
You have obviously endured Yuanfeng for eight years, and if you endure two more years and finish Kuishang, can hundreds of thousands of troops really be recalled and resettled?Just resettle them on the spot and carry out enfeoffment, and all problems will be solved.
After all, there is no current mentality problem, no current internal holding back problems, and no current problem of starting to fantasize about the distribution of the fruits of victory before the fight is over. People like Oswin, Moncombe, and Khosroi are fundamentally important to the Han Dynasty. A piece of cake.
Ten years of imperial war have proved that the elites of the Han Dynasty have been tempered to the point where it is difficult for the Kushans to win without making mistakes. Although the two sides are still at the same level, the Han Dynasty is about to reach the upper limit of this level, and Kushan is just at the lower end of this range.
Unfortunately, when that answer is asked, the Han Dynasty will inevitably make a mistake.
If he made a mistake, Guishuang would have a way to deal with the Han Dynasty's offensive. Even Wu'an Jun gave a direct answer and could not defeat Oswin.
What a ridiculous answer. When will Oswin become a roadblock?It was still Guan Yu's stumbling block, but no one else present raised any objection, because no matter whether they were in the military field or in other fields, no one who could see this would think that the proud soldiers of the Han Dynasty had any chance of winning. The fact that they were not defeated directly was because the lower limit of the Han Dynasty was high enough.
"Check it." Li You took off his sword and handed it to Chen Xi, who shook his head.

When the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. This is Chen Xi's intuitive feeling, and it is also a fact that all senior leaders in Chang'an are aware of.
