After Liu Bei left, Chen Xi assigned the work and waited for everyone to deal with it. What he had to do was to take advantage of the time before the expedition to stabilize Chen Lan and Fan Jian so that they would not worry too much.
"Kong Ming, what are you doing?" Chen Xi said with a frown, looking at Zhuge Liang who had made his study a mess.
"Study the situation in the world." Zhuge Liang said without raising his head, "I want to show my ability."
"Huh?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang curiously, and then glanced at the bits and pieces of information on the table. What is going on? "Why do you need this information about Cao Mengde's past to show your ability? Study the Battle of Xuzhou."
"I studied Cao Mengde carefully. He has one advantage, that is, he loves talents. I can be considered a good civil servant, and I am very young. What I have to do now is to tell Cao Cao about my excellence, and then tell him , I will swear against him and make him regret it for the rest of his life." Zhuge Liang said with a cold light in his eyes. He couldn't go to the battlefield in Xuzhou, but he could still cut Cao Cao's heart hard with his handwriting.
"Xuzhou, Xuande Gong has gone. He will stop Cao Mengde. Don't worry, I will help you." Chen Xi patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said.
"Are you coming too?" Zhuge Liang was stunned, "If what I write is not unexpected, Cao Mengde's advisers can also plan it, but your thinking has always been unconstrained, you are not afraid"
"It's nothing. After all, when we really rise, nothing can stop us. It's just for the people. Under the rule of food and prosperity, the prevention and control methods of epidemics are mainly prepared for the people. Everyone in the world died in the war. People are always in the minority, and death from starvation and epidemics are the most common," Chen Xi said calmly.
"I understand. The reason why you were so generous in inviting princes from all over the world to enter was actually because you wanted them to explore food farming and disease prevention and control, right?" Zhuge Liang understood instantly.
"Well, in order to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains, even if ten million people were killed on the battlefield, it would not be as destructive as the epidemic sweeping across several states. What's more, even if the world continues to fight, I don't believe that one person can be killed in twenty years. Tens of millions of people. So I am trying to find ways to get out improved seeds and disease control." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Who are the people who died in the war?" Hunger and plague were the biggest harvesters of life in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Aren't you worried about increasing the enemy's combat effectiveness in this way?" Zhuge Liang frowned, but he was obviously eager to try. After all, his ethics faced the entire Han Dynasty. Rather than one place and one city.
"It's nothing. What we want is the Han Dynasty at its peak. Only by starting the layout now can we still retain considerable combat effectiveness after the war is over. And the most I can do is to do my best and listen to fate." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I Let¡¯s help you write it.¡±
"Well, first see if there are any problems." Zhuge Liang handed Chen Xi the letter he wrote that was harsh and hateful of Cao Cao, but revealed wisdom.
"It's very good. It seems that it is not needed anymore. Let's send it out with the help of Cai Zhaoji. I listen to Li Wenru. Cai Zhaoji and Cao Mengde have broken off their diplomatic relations." Chen Xi sighed and said, finding that it was difficult to insert it according to Zhuge Liang's writing style. Something about agriculture and disease.
"Why did Cao Mengde do this? With his previous behavior, he shouldn't be like this." Although Zhuge Liang hated Cao Cao, he did not lose his basic calmness and was very puzzled by Cao Cao's behavior.
"I can't control it anymore. I can't take it back after swinging the butcher's knife. And there must be many locals fishing in troubled waters, but it must be Cao Mengde who opened the door. The one who killed the most must be Cao Mengde, so don't think too much, he is not with us." "I'm dead." Chen Xi sighed and said, after this massacre, Cao Cao's temperament changed considerably compared to before.
"You can use the things in the study as you like. Chen Yun will clean them up when the time comes." Chen Xi sighed. He had admired Cao Cao, but when Massacre appeared in front of him, no amount of appreciation could cover it up.
Chen Xi left the study and explained today's events to Fan Jian and Chen Lan. Both of them were a little reluctant. After all, the newlywed Yan'er would go to the battlefield soon.
"Okay, don't make such an expression. When I'm not at home, please advise Cai Zhaoji more and don't let her think about it." Chen Xi sighed and said, this matter is good for Cai Yan and Gu Yong, who have a sense of justice. , and the person who had a good personal relationship with Cao Cao was hit hard.
"I know." Fan Jian said somewhat unhappily.
"Don't be so stingy. If you have a daughter in the future, you will need Cai Zhaoji to help teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. There are really few women who are better at these things than her."??" Chen Xi explained helplessly.
"Huh, why do you want to have a daughter? Isn't a son bad?" Fan Jian said dissatisfied.
"Actually, my daughter is pretty good too." Chen Lan whispered from the side. Although she was also a wife, she was always a little weak around Fan Jian, so she had no idea of ??competing with Fan Jian.
Chen Xi was helpless, staring at Fan Jian and sighing, thinking that it would be better to wait for another two years. Given Fan Jian's current situation, raising children should be treated as toys.
In the next few days, what Chen Xi did was run around, trying hard to collect the things he wanted. Cai Yan's letter was sent to Cao Cao along with two books on disease prevention and agricultural farming.
It is said that after Li You left that day, Chen Xi asked someone to hand over these two books to Cai Yan in Li You's name. After Cai Yan put the books and letters in paper bags and sent them away, he felt much better. Li You was considerate. It made Cai Yan feel the warmth he felt when his father was still alive.
"Hey, why are you two here?" Chen Xi asked curiously as he looked at Jia Xu and Fazheng appearing in the courtyard outside his home.
"Some things have answers." Jia Xu threw a packet of information to Chen Xi, "You will know after reading it once."
Chen Xi took a quick glance and was shocked. Then he looked at Jia Xu, "Are you sure this is not a joke? Why would Tao Gongzu think so? Weren't Taishan and Xuzhou very good before?"
"Zichuan, think about it for yourself. Tao Gongzu is a prince no matter what, and there is a reason why he had a good relationship with us in the first place." Jia Xu said with a wry smile, "There is also a reason why he proposed to hand over Xuzhou to Cao Mengde! This One time, Cao Mengde did something stupid! He could get Xuzhou directly just by communicating with Tao Qian, but in the end, he completely fell out of anger. Tao Gongzu probably doesn't understand that Cao Cao would massacre Xuzhou now!

The "rules" I wrote before are just to explain that there were indeed some hidden powers in that era, but once you master some things, don't think about using them to dominate the world. Once provoked With that default rule, someone will naturally harmonize you. The battlefield is a battlefield.
