Because of the Legalists, the Han Empire had treated the lower classes badly enough. After all, some of the Legalists' logic, when put into practice in reality, would result in extremely outrageous results. To be honest, it was outrageous enough. Especially after the comparison with Chen Xi, these bigwigs in the Executive Yuan were more or less aware of how devastating the previous way of playing had been to the lower classes of people.

But there was at least one good thing about the Han Empire, that is, the real wealthy families headed by Yuan Yang at least recognized that the lower-class people were the same as them. No matter how mean their words were or how contemptuous their expressions were, it had not essentially developed to the point of reproductive isolation between the two sides.

Nowadays, with super wealthy families headed by Yuan Yang, ordinary people can marry members of these families with some luck and ability. This is completely different from the reproductive isolation in the later period of the Four Aristocratic Families and the Five Aristocratic Families and Seven Famous Families.

So although Fa Zheng felt that some of the actions of the Han Dynasty 20 years ago were really nonsense when compared to the current era, if compared with the Kushans, damn, some of the actions of the Kushans have fallen on the people of the Han Dynasty, there is nothing to say, just rebel against them, rebel today, chop wood into weapons, and start fighting, what is there to say, it's come to this point, why don't you rebel?

However, they just don't rebel. Except for the Dalits who are still struggling these days, the others don't show any sign of struggle at all. Fa Zheng felt a little flustered and somewhat suspected that the Brahmins had some advanced brainwashing skills. If not, why didn't the locals rebel?

I don't understand it. At least it is difficult to sort it out according to Fa Zheng's logic. After all, this is another kind of thinking logic built on social morality and civilization. Even if Fa Zheng understood this logic, he could not agree with it. Just like some behaviors in later generations are considered normal in Europe and the United States, but in China, it can be described in two words: idiot!
This is the conflict in the underlying logic of the construction of the cultural and social moral system. The so-called cultural invasion is actually the distortion and assimilation at this logical level, which brings about changes in values ​​and world views. Let's put it aside for now. At the very least, the changes in the three views will cause the same person holding different three views to launch fierce verbal attacks on himself at different stages.

And this is just one person. If it were a group of people, the problem would be even bigger.

Therefore, Fa Zheng's suggestion to the Brahmins was simple and crude, to the point of killing them, and killing them quickly. This was not a battle between two countries and nations, but a battle between two civilizations that could not coexist. Seeking common ground while reserving differences was of no value in such a situation.

"The Brahmins treat the lower classes like pigs and dogs, but most of the lower classes are happy to accept it. So if we use this as the basis for negotiation, the Kushans will most likely agree. There are two ways to accumulate supermodel cloud energy. One is the conventional reserve mode, and we all know the other." Fa Zheng raised a finger and said with a mocking look.

This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty did not carry out the architecture after obtaining the core structure of the supermodel cloud. If this thing is built, the bureaucrats will say that the people will suffer and I will bear the blame. If it goes wrong, there will be endless troubles, which is more terrifying than the people rebelling against the officials.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty modified the core of the super-model cloud gas, which was mainly used to store cloud gas. The storage warehouse used by the seventh-generation ship actually used the improved product of this technology. After all, Chen Xi's trust in bureaucrats was not high enough.

To put it bluntly, literature will create whatever humans lack. Why are there so many stories about honest officials and why do stories about people ruling for a long time? To put it bluntly, isn't it because there are too few? That's why we need to create more.

What's more, the view that power alienates people into other creatures is a fact. Considering that when the scale of an entity organization reaches a certain level, the organization itself will develop its own consciousness and will autonomously absorb the talents it needs.

This is also the reason why historically we often see major crimes happening in the middle and late stages of dynasties. To put it bluntly, the organization's own consciousness has developed to the point where it must push some outrageous things to the top in order to maintain its own existence. Otherwise, if those smart and capable people really come to power, the organization itself will be ruined. Similarly, this is also the basic logic behind the backlash against the reformers.

It would be easy to describe it as a counterattack by vested interests, but that is not entirely true.

Chen Xi knew all this, so he was quite wary of these things. "When Ge Gong was alive, I didn't feel anything unusual. But after his death, I haven't seen anything like it." This is normal. Some things look simple and logical, but that's purely because there is a god supporting them. If the god is gone, you can see how big a problem it is. Chen Xi doesn't want to be a god, so he has to think of other ways.

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Kushan navy suffered major defeats in Malacca and Ceylon, which will make the Kushan doubt its own intelligence system and strategic analysis capabilities. Even if Zhu Helai is a genius, he will have self-doubt for a while after the Malacca incident." Fa Zheng said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Why are you looking at me?" Chen Xi said unhappily. When Fa Zheng talked about the heavenly appearance, everyone present just glanced at Chen Xi. When they talked about the Malacca incident, Zhu Helai would definitely have some self-doubt, and the others looked at Chen Xi very naturally.

There was no way. Chen Xi's true situation proved to everyone present that even if he was a god who had calculated everything, even if he had clearly withstood all of Lu Su's attacks, he would still doubt himself, and this state would have to last at least three months.

"Zhu Helai would suspect that the problem of the Han Dynasty's Ganges Army investigated by the intelligence system is the same as the situation in Malacca, and it is false information released by the Han Dynasty." Fa Zheng was glared at by Chen Xi, and then he pouted and said, "After all, I believe Zhu Helai must have repeatedly investigated the intelligence from Malacca before deciding to take action, and under such investigation, he suffered a great defeat!"

"He will have doubts and waver. Even if he is determined and wise, he will still have such doubts." Jia Xu nodded and said, "So he will be quite hesitant to take the initiative to provoke border conflicts. In other words, under such circumstances, if we don't take the initiative, the Kushans will not take the initiative either. In this case, it is better to delay it for now."

"Yes, that's the idea. Zhu Helai will definitely not take action at the moment." Fa Zheng nodded, "But we can't pretend that this incident never happened, so the best way is to put pressure on the other party and make up for it in other ways. Killing Odin is of great significance to us."

The three empires stand tall above the world. Even the weakest Kushan Empire is worthy of being a top force. However, many troubles in this world are caused by the three empires, and there are still several problems that have not been completely solved.

What Fa Zheng meant now was that he should take this opportunity to solve all these problems for him. At least in the next two years, he should not have the energy to cause trouble. When there is no disaster worldwide and the Roman Empire, which is good at causing trouble, does not have the energy to cause trouble, the Han Dynasty should concentrate all its strength and launch a fierce attack to completely kill the Kushan Empire and create a fait accompli. Then, even if Rome continues to cause trouble, the Han Dynasty will not be as passive as it is now.

After all, if Rome can cause the first world disaster, then it can definitely cause the second world disaster. As of now, if Rome continues to cause world disasters, the Han Dynasty will probably have to fight Kushan on and off. And given the current situation of Kushan, as long as the fighting is on and off, the time will be delayed. God knows whether Kushan can be defeated by then.

We can't go back in history and assign Liu Bei's officers and civil officials to Indochina. Although the Han Dynasty has already developed medicine to solve the miasma and blood-sucking insects in the south, and it is not too difficult to use the army to open up Indochina, plus the local climate, three harvests a year is not a problem. With Chen Xi's control of the local blood transfusion, it will take off in a short time.

But if this were to happen, it would be a huge loss for Chen Xi. After all, in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu killed Celian, Liu Bei came to Chen Xi and said that the threat from the sea had disappeared. The Kra Isthmus Canal was the boundary between us and Jiangdong. The north was the Han Dynasty and the south was Jiangdong. Now that Jiangdong was divided, we should also be divided.

All the islands in Jiangdong are included, there are only more than two million square kilometers, and many places are not suitable for farming. The only truly suitable places are Java Island and Sumatra Island, which is under construction and will take more than 20 years to complete. Other places are only suitable for granting fiefs to subordinates.

But the Indochina Peninsula is different. Not to mention the area of ​​the plains there, it has been one of the most important grain-producing areas in later generations and a major area for world grain exports. Moreover, its area is no less than that of Jiangdong, and may even be larger. If it is used to divide up the land among Liu Bei's subordinates, it is definitely enough.

As I said, Chen Xi stopped Liu Bei at that time. This was really Chen Xi's fault. Chen Xi believed that if the Indochina Peninsula was divided, although it would have a slight advantage over Jiangdong and the Yuan family, the advantage was not obvious, and it would not show the superior status of our Han Dynasty. Then he suggested dividing the Kushan Empire.

At that time, Chen Xi meant that the Kushan Empire had to be destroyed anyway, but the situation of the Kushan Empire meant that it was impossible to govern it directly. If anything, only the more than 400,000 square kilometers of grain-producing land along the Ganges River could be effectively governed directly, and other places might as well be directly divided into fiefdoms.

This proposal was very bold, and only Liu Bei could make it. If it were any other monarch during the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Xi would not even mention it. So the matter was finalized in the fifth year of Yuanfeng. At the court meeting the following year, Liu Bei officially released the fiefdom order and development documents, which were for the ninth and seventh levels of nobility respectively.

Up to now, Liu Bei had more than one hundred idealistic veteran soldiers with middle-level titles under his command, who were granted fiefdoms in the coastal areas of Liaodong and the natural alluvial plains of the Indochina Peninsula. To be honest, they were all good places.

The former are mostly located in the Dalian area in later generations, and the latter are basically located in the valleys in northern Thailand. There is no other way. With millions of square kilometers of land, you can choose by yourself with the fiefdom order, so you will definitely find some good places.

As for the bitterly cold land in the north, that's just a joke. Even within the Arctic Circle, there are small cold temperate zones. For the whole, these areas of thousands or even hundreds of square kilometers are nothing, but for an individual, this amount of space is enough to build a city.

Therefore, after Lu Su caused trouble in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the most passive point for Chen Xi was that he had to take down Kushan before the fifteenth year of Yuanfeng and put the country under control. Otherwise, if he continued to drag it out, big problems would really arise.

If this hadn't happened, in the eleventh year of Yuanfeng, which is next year, a million-strong army would be enough. And as for verification, Chen Xi had already verified it in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, and later asked Jian Yong to specially increase the speed of logistics transportation.

Unfortunately, sometimes it’s hard to explain what’s going on in people’s minds.

"Get rid of Odin." Fa Zheng said calmly, "If we want to annihilate Kushan, the external environment is also very important. At least I don't think that with the external environment in the past two years, we can free up our hands to deal with Kushan."

Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. Although the locust plague in Africa caused huge losses worldwide, the losses mainly fell on Rome. The Han Dynasty was far away and had adequate defenses. Although there were losses, they were not large. Although one crop of Kushan was eaten, Kushan's fields could be harvested three times a year, and the second round was almost ripe. If the locusts had not been killed, the third round of locust plague would have eaten up this round of food, and Kushan would have been doomed.

But the locusts were killed by the three empires working together. Although the third round of locust plague was not completely resolved, the losses had been reduced to an acceptable range. In other words, the Kushans would only suffer a little but would not die.

As a result, the Roman Empire was in a semi-wasted state and had no extra strength to continue causing trouble. The Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire still had the strength to attack each other. The only one left for the global disaster was Odin. If Odin was killed, the Han Dynasty could concentrate its strength on dealing with the Kushan Empire.

This wave of locust plague caused three years of turmoil in Rome, leaving Rome with no extra energy to mess around for three years. This also meant that the external environment for the Han Dynasty would be very good in the next three years, and there would be no need to worry about any inexplicable world disasters.

With Chen Xi's operational capabilities, if nothing unexpected happens, three years will be enough, so at this stage, Odin must die.

"General Huangfu needs to be recalled. Even if the enemy does not need to command, it is important to let the enemy take charge in the final battle. Three million troops require too much command, even if there is no coordination. Considering that the Kushans may concentrate their forces to break through one or two routes, the best way is to strengthen each route to the extent that it will be difficult for the Kushans to bite off." Fa Zheng said with excitement.

Obviously, as a military strategist, this kind of planning of an army of millions is also very exciting for Fa Zheng.

"General Guan is actually suitable for frontal combat. If he is asked to take care of the front line and provide defense, his performance will be suppressed to a certain extent. Let General Guan go." Guo Jia spoke slowly. He agreed with Fa Zheng's suggestion. If Liu Bei and Chen Xi went to the front line and let Guan Yu sit in the central army as the commander, it would greatly restrict Guan Yu.

In fact, Guan Yu has been stationed in the Ganges River for these years, which is actually quite a waste in Guo Jia's opinion. Although it is not impossible to do so, Guan Yu is obviously better at attacking than defending, and it is not bad for him to stay in one place, but such a balancing act wastes Guan Yu's super attacking ability.

"One more thing. It's a good idea to advance with the main force, but since we already have 3 million troops, and we can also equip the middle-level backbones and grassroots backbones needed for 3 million troops, and we have basically gathered the leading group commanders, then why don't we just fight directly?" Li You turned his head to look at Jia Xu and asked, "My 3 million troops can just rush the enemy directly."

Li You actually agreed with what Jia Xu had said before. If the enemy really did not fight head-on and abandoned Mathura, then delaying time based on the Kushan territory and the Han Dynasty would indeed be a very correct approach. Even if the opportunity was seized, it would not be impossible to eat up one or two of the Han Dynasty's forces. After all, the locals were definitely more familiar with the local terrain and routes than the Han Dynasty, and it was possible that they would make mistakes occasionally and be caught in the opportunity.

But Li You's meaning was very clear. Why the hell should I go to such lengths with you? I know you may concentrate your strengths to deal with one or two of these dozen armies, but all of my dozen armies will rush into your country, capture whatever they come across, and sell them after they are captured.

"???" Liu Bei looked at Li You. He actually hadn't reacted to what Li You said, but after all, he had known Li You for more than ten years, so he still had some understanding of this guy Li You. So when Li You said that he wanted to charge the entire map and destroy the Kushan Empire, Liu Bei just thought about it for a moment and understood what this guy was talking about.

"We couldn't do this before, because we rarely had an army of this size entering Kushan, and our navy collapsed, so we couldn't do this. But now..." Li You lowered his eyebrows, with a cold light in his eyes. My army has an absolute advantage, and Kushan has no way to defeat its navy. So why should I talk to you about the rules?
Even if you, Oswin, can prove your truth against the will of heaven and destroy one or two of my armies, I will sell out tens of millions of your Kushans. I want to see how long you, Oswin, can last. I will capture and buy off the people from any place you give way to. It's a Brahmin system, right? The people under your rule are all obedient, right? Sorry, I have specially lectured a group of Brahmins who served as my dogs before, and they are very obedient.

Of course, if Oswald is able to retreat with millions of local people and withstand the stranglehold of the Han Dynasty, then I, Li You, have never said this. If you have this ability, you, Oswald, should be the heir of Kushan!
"It will take three years to build troop transport ships. One ship can carry 10,000 people. It shouldn't be a problem to build 100 ships in three years." Li You turned his head to look at Chen Xi. Chen Xi held his forehead and didn't want to talk. Li You's method was a bit too much!

Slipped, slipped, failed to get up, miserable
