"To be honest, personally I do have the concept of closeness and distance, but from a national level, there is basically no such thing as closeness and distance." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "From a national level, "Yan, as long as it falls into the pot of Huaxia, I won't care too much about who eats it. After all, those who are alive today have to rely on their ability to make a living." Zhang Jia nodded silently, which he also admitted, Chen Xi. It is true that he is not the kind of person who takes advantage of his family. Many times, for Chen Xi, suitability is more important than kinship. Of course, this is other people's evaluation of Chen Xi. In fact, for Chen Xi, when there is not much difference in ability between the two parties, he will definitely prefer the person who is closer to him. After all, this is human nature. Of course, the prerequisite is that there is not a big gap in ability. When something is very important and even affects national policy, kinship is no longer something Chen Xi considers. At that time, the right people must do the right things. This is The basis for being responsible for the country. "Perhaps from an individual point of view, closeness and blood ties are indeed important, but in terms of power, these are secondary. The prerequisite is that the power is strong, then other factors can be put aside on my side." Chen Xi Looking back on my behavior over the years, I am sure that I have indeed restrained myself. "So, for Chen Hou, the Yuan family is actually a very necessary part?" Zhang Jia said with a slightly questioning tone. Chen Xi gave a very formal answer, "Not just the Yuan family, but actually every people who recognizes their identity and is willing to contribute to this country is very important. Of course, when it comes to this level, it is not just individuals who are needed. It's the wisdom of the system." "Thank you, Marquis Chen, for clarifying my doubts." Zhang Jia sat up straight and saluted Chen Xi. For so many years, what he was most worried about was that one day, the Han Dynasty would give up on the Yuan family. No matter how powerful the Yuan family is now, as long as it is not a country, it must have a dependent relationship with the Han Dynasty, and this relationship is even a necessary factor for the Yuan family to maintain its strength, even if the current Yuan family seems to be very powerful. powerful. "It's nothing. I'll try my best to let everyone understand this truth. This will be conducive to the centripetal force of the nation." Chen Xi replied with a smile, "And after all, where the Yuan family goes is not simply their own choice, but also the needs of the Han Dynasty. , and the Han Dynasty will not break its promises, especially the promises made to its own people. "To be honest, the Han Dynasty rarely reneges on its promises and alliances, but the Han Dynasty has a kind of "your country is over. , where can I go to fulfill the agreement?" This weird approach. However, internally, the Han Dynasty has basically never betrayed its own people. As long as it is promised, even if it is unable to do so, it will be executed with all its strength. Whether it can be completed is one thing, but whether it is done or not is another matter. thing. "When the time comes, fight with all your strength. The rear will do everything possible to maintain food and logistical supplies. This is not a war between the Yuan family and the Duke of Roman border counties, but a war between us and Rome. If we really win, if Rome lifts the chessboard, Let's just flip the table over," Chen Xi said with a dark face. After discovering that Roma was completely out of control after the rest, he was mentally prepared. What are you afraid of! Compromise and compromise cannot be exchanged for peace. Struggle is the correct way to seek peace. What's more, Rome itself is already complete after the Sabbath, but it also means that it is impossible to continue to become stronger. The Han Dynasty has barely reached maturity. The civil servants and generals in the Hulaoguan period, except for the talented guys who have reached the perfect state, are only now moving towards the perfect state. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan and others can command in the later stage. The general of the army is still half way to go. After all, these people are not a pure talent party like Zhou Yu. They can become the commander-in-chief of a large army by relying on their talents. Guan Yu was almost sixty years old when he became powerful in the world, and he was almost sixty years old when he truly became the commander-in-chief of a large army. Fifty years old. When Zhang Fei truly reached the level of a famous general in official history, he was also almost fifty years old. Even Xia Houyuan was about the same age when he could really command an army. The talents of these people are not bad, but they must be fully utilized. Their own talents require a lot of effort. After all, they are not true geniuses on this path. This is why in the early days, it was more the staff group formulating plans, estimating the general situation in advance, and then making tactical and strategic responses, which were handed over to the generals for execution. After Guan Yu went abroad, the most obvious gap was that the decision-making power of the staff began to disappear, and the judgment of the situation and the application of tactics began to be controlled by the general himself. As for the future, when you reach the level of Huangfu Song and Zhou Yu, in fact, the value of a staff officer is more to analyze the situation, check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and to take the lead.The commander will rely on his own ability to make judgments and responses. Compared with the plan designated by the staff, the most advantageous point of this method is that the judgment and response made by the commander are more in line with his own abilities. As long as the person who makes the plan and the person who executes the plan are not the same person, then problems of one kind or another will definitely occur during the actual execution process. This kind of thing is almost inevitable, but when the person who executes the plan only refers to other people's By analyzing and making your own decisions, you can basically avoid the parts of the plan that don't suit you. From mediocrity to excellence, from generals to famous marshals, most people who can be called geniuses need to put in enough ability to stand at the top in their twenties. There are people who look down, but most All generals are over forty years old. Rome's defeat of Parthia was no accident in everyone's judgment. Severus' tough execution was doomed to the end of Parthia, and the moment Parthia was defeated, it also meant that Rome could no longer continue. There has been a qualitative leap. It¡¯s not that there are no opponents, but there are no enemies. The Han Dynasty is too far away. Even if Chen Xi can point out the train, it will be difficult for him to have a life-and-death war with Rome. Neither side has the strength to completely kill each other at this distance. Defeat is possible. The question is, with the background of the Han Dynasty and Rome, how many times will they lose before they are truly finished? The absence of enemies means that it is impossible for one's own strength to make a qualitative leap. It may become stronger, but it is basically impossible to rise from this level to another. The existence of opponents can bring a sense of crisis. But the opponent will not let people feel what it means to win or die, and what it means to have you and not me. There is no qualitative change, so when placed on the scale of the Han Dynasty and Rome, it actually means that there is basically no obvious impact, and the Han Dynasty is still some distance away from being a complete entity. According to Chen Xi's estimation, using Guishuang as a whetstone, he should reach perfection in five years. After that, even if Deng Ai and Yang Hu all grow up, the Han Dynasty will not have a qualitative improvement. , the tactical and strategic aspects are very likely to be at the same level, and the only changes may be the national armaments and overall material reserves. But even so, it was enough for Chen Xi. If Guishang was hacked to death, if nothing else, Guan Yu could at least reach the level of Huangfu Song. Even if the fighting methods and styles of the two sides were very different, by that time At that time, the two sides were generally on the same level. This is also the reason why Chen Xi is planning to send Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to Guishuang after June. As for Lu Bu, he is actually just an addition. In terms of personal strength, Lu Bu is indeed at the top, but when he leads the army, Lu Bu is really It can't be said that he is very good, and after Han Xin's evaluation, Lu Bu does not have much talent in commanding troops. On the contrary, it was Zhang Fei. Han Xin tried it himself and believed that Zhang Fei had more talent than most people in commanding troops, but he could not find a way to display it and could only rely on a flash of inspiration. As for Zhao Yun, Han Xin gave an accurate evaluation after accompanying him for a game of battle. If you don¡¯t have any other commanders, you can use this kid. Anyway, you have enough resources and a lot of money. If he uses it, he can create a very good situation. Chen Xi asked Jia Xu to translate it and understood what Han Xin meant. Zhao Yun was not suitable as an offensive player, but his qualifications were there. He was cautious and prudent, and he made steady progress in marching and fighting. He might miss many opportunities. But it is basically impossible to suffer losses, and he is a good player in defensive counterattacks. Chen Xi thought about it and thought that Zhao Yun should be trained. At any rate, Han Xin also felt that Zhao Yun could actually be a good general. In this case, it might as well give him a try. Of course, Han Xin suggested that Chen Xi should find a way to let Zhao Yun let himself go. This kind of caution means that he is actually a super capable guy. If he seizes the opportunity to let himself go, it is very likely that the situation will be decisive when the two sides are balanced. However, Chen Xi thought about it and realized that there was no way to teach Zhao Yun about this kind of thing. It was better to let Zhao Yun realize it on his own. Even if he had not learned to let himself go, as long as Zhao Yun could figure out how to command and dispatch, and cooperate with his own calmness of the entire army, ignoring the panic. The legion effect, even if it is a famous general, it is not easy to knock it to the ground. In other words, in five years, the Han Dynasty will have at least three generals of Huangfu Song's level. After all, Guan Yu is already on the road no matter what, and all he has to do next is to go up. Even if he doesn't care, as long as It will be achieved naturally when the time comes. At that level, the Han Dynasty can be considered to have entered a complete state, and can face the military power of Rome with ease. However, when facing the military power of the Han Dynasty, Rome will not be able to face the military power of the Han Dynasty unless it can have enough commanders. It is inevitable that the Han Dynasty will be stretched thin.
