"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. Come to my home. There are some things I want to know about to avoid future disputes because I don't understand them well." Liu Bei didn't pay attention to Chen Xi's expression and dragged Chen Xi towards his home. "My lord, Chen Hou!" When Liu Bei dragged Chen Xi back, Xu Chu was guarding the door intently. When he saw the two people 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 were done, 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 ideals when he was young were that. It was extremely lofty, but reality turned out to be more terrifying than fantasy. Now for him, as long as he is willing to complete the ideal, he will achieve it more perfectly than he 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 own 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. He said, "Zichuan is here for you. Tell me your unfinished ideals. It's time for me to help you complete them!" "Compared to those low-level desires in terms of material, power, and interests, I have never been from you from the beginning. I feel that you are lazy at all, but your self-discipline is also the best among all people. You have always had clear goals. Only with lofty ambitions can you remain consistent." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with incomparable eyesight. solemnly. "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 said nothing. "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 knows how to repay 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." "Mr. Xuande, you have only just stepped into the right path to achieve the ideal of surpassing your ancestors. If you really want to say that, you are still far from it," Chen Xi said calmly, "One point and one hundred points are worth zero. In terms of points, it is also transcendence, but the latter is far more terrifying than the former. " "I am not yet forty years old, and I still have time. As long as the direction I am moving in is correct, one point and one hundred points are of the same importance. For me, it's just a matter of time." At this moment, Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with strong confidence. "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, "Why are you so curious about my ideals." "Because you have not changed, now There is almost no change between you and the person you were in Hulao Pass. Your experience is enriched and your abilities are strengthened, but your will has never changed. From the beginning to now, you have always been very clear and clear in your direction. We are moving in one direction, and we are never at a loss." 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, it has a clear result."?While others still need to verify and summarize, for me, I have already had clear results. "Chen Xi said after a while, with the advantages of the lower reaches of the long river of history clearly visible. "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, it is still far away from your dream? Liu Bei's expression changed and he asked curiously. "Is it far?" Chen Xi asked in a thoughtful tone, "It doesn't seem to be 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, paying equal attention to both civil and military affairs. . "Chen Xi said slowly. "I never understood why we wanted a civil war at the beginning. It is obvious that Shang and Zhou understood that all Xia are one, and divided the people of all Xia to consolidate China and expand China's territory. It is obvious that we are powerful enough to fight out. They expanded their territory abroad, but one by 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, or I understood it myself, but I had never lifted the lid, and when I sat in this position , many things can be seen at a glance. "Chen Xi narrated these things with a deep helplessness, while Liu Bei listened silently and did not interrupt Chen Xi's tone of recollection. "It is indeed difficult to fight, the difficulty of marching, the acclimatization, logistical support, There are a series of problems such as the extreme wall of the empire, but if you think about the civil servants and generals who died in the country during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, and the hard-working warriors who died in the country, it may not necessarily be more than those who died in the war. "Chen Xi narrated 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 am confident that I can All the logistics are done to conquer the Central Plains, but I can't change people's hearts. "Chen Xi narrated with a touch of helplessness. "In my opinion, a war caused by self-interest and desire is the easiest to solve, but a war caused by will and will, and both sides are fighting for justice, then in the end It is natural for blood to flow into rivers. "Chen Xi's voice dropped by three points, quite disappointed. "If you don't count Sun Bofu, the war between you and Cao Sikong is actually a battle of wills. You both have very clear wills, and you are both convinced that you are fighting for this country. War, fight for the people, you may have selfish desires, but in general you are fighting for the country and the people. "Chen Xi calmly narrated the historical situation. "Cao Cao's sentence "If there is no one in the world, I don't know how many people will become emperors and how many will become kings." Although it is arrogant, it is true. Liu Bei also has a similar will. Both of them are not wrong from the perspective of will, so they will fight to the death. The reason why the war between desire and self-interest can be easily resolved is because of their reality, and the war between will and will, to put it bluntly, you cannot understand at all what I am carrying. What! 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 a hell if these two can coexist. All wars are nominally just, but are actually wars of pure will, so Chen Xi hates wars caused by will and the ideals he carries, because once it becomes like this, no one can achieve the final goal without destroying the opponent's body. Victory. However, the human heart is like this. With the power to implement ideals and will, 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 he wanted to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains. Don't kill if you can. If you don't kill, it means that the opponent will continue to grow, and the collision of wills will get closer and closer. Until later, Chen Xi figured out why I should consider this. There is something wrong with me. What I should actually be thinking about is how to become stronger, stronger, and stronger than everyone else. Of course, it must be stronger than Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and everyone else. Those who are satisfied with him realize, ¡°It¡¯s great that you are so strong and yet 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, become stronger , continue to get stronger, keep getting stronger, so that all of you feel that Liu Bei is really sincere in offering this condition. You should be grateful that the other party did not destroy you. You are qualified.??When you negotiate terms with the other party, the other party is giving you face!
