Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1059: Chapter 1015 Ruthless

”Therefore, my evaluation of Cao Cao is that he is strong only at home.” Chen Xi’s contemptuous expression reveals more than enough.

”We have been too lenient with the North. Even if we don’t need the Great Prairie, don’t need that infertile land, it must still be our backyard. We can allow herders to prune in our garden, but if they destroy wantonly or even attack our people, then their destiny should be as fertilizer!” This time, Chen Xi’s words no longer hide his killing intent.

”Why did we defeat the Huns? To make room for the Xianbei? To let them grow stronger and continue to cause trouble for us?” Chen Xi laughed coldly and said, ”Repelling the enemy outside the gates is the most crucial strategy in military tactics. Do you not even understand the basics of military strategy?”

”Just four or five tenths of the Parthians’ war potential in a foreign clan can make you all so cautious, standing at the top. What about the Parthians beside us?” Chen Xi laughed coldly, realizing he had frightened this group of people.

”If we compare ourselves to aristocratic families, what we should do now is quietly restore our family, then eliminate those families that usurped us during our internal chaos and want to take advantage of us, quietly develop, and then wait for the opportunity to amaze the world.” Li Youu was quite calm, saying that was exactly what he did back then.

”That is to say, what we should do now is first unify the Central Plains.” At this point, Li Youu no longer said the whole world, as he had experienced its vastness and knew it’s not just talk of unification, ”Not only the forces competing with us, but also local forces, we need to unify thoroughly.”

The meaning in Li Youu’s words is clear; this time he wants to reclaim all forces that can be recovered to the nation, even those distant vassal states, and recover any that show dissent.

”Afterwards, sweep away all surrounding forces.” Saying this, Li Youu pointed to the Thirty-Six States of the Western Regions, as well as the forces like the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang and Hu, Huns, Three Hann States, etc. in the North, ”Take down these forces one by one; if there is even a hint of rebellion, annihilate them, wipe out them with blood!”

Chen Xi smiled inwardly, no wonder it was Li Youu, once he comes to terms with it, he will surely not hesitate to use deadly force.

”Before this, we need to make them understand our resolve.” Li Youu pointed towards the area near the Three Hann States and slowly said, ”Slaughter one of the Three Hann States or the Wuhuan as a deterrent; this way, the ones killed are not many.”

This time, Chen Xi felt a chill down his back, as Li Youu’s cruelty left him utterly shocked.

”This is too extreme, it might backfire.” Chen Xi said, but once he spoke, he fully understood that Li Youu’s purpose was not submission, but death!

The enemy on the opposite side was strong enough for Li Youu to understand that no mistakes could occur, so before that, Li Youu would rather risk certain casualties to completely eliminate the possibility of errors!

”In wars of this magnitude, unlike our minor skirmishes, honestly, I would rather rely solely on the strength of one nation, rather than form a feigned alliance, assimilate the alliance to strengthen oneself, appearing less powerful on the surface but triumphing in stability.” Li Youu said coldly.

Now Li Youu was really contemplating how to handle this level of war, which, once started, would have a significant impact on every aspect of the country. Even the pressure of provisions alone could be enough to overwhelm the current level of Liu Bei’s forces.

It must be said that the lie given by Chen Xi was too realistic, too powerful, powerful enough that these people had to cautiously respond.

”I think from now on, we should minimize local wars against Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and do our utmost to preserve the complete civil and military official systems of Sun Ce and Cao Cao.” Jia Xu, being experienced and astute, quickly identified the strongest potential allies.

Jia Xu’s words made everyone frown, while Chen Xi was inwardly delighted. Finally, what he wanted to say forced this group of people to speak out; Cao Cao and Sun Ce were indeed the greatest arms support, and together, the three could really form two complete systems of civil officials and military generals!

”No matter what you think, in my view, in terms of war potential, in other words, population, we are not weak. And if we were to really fight against empire-level opponents, our system of officials must be strong enough.” Jia Xu, unconcerned with others’ expressions, explained by himself.

”In my view, whether it be the strategists and political strategists causing us endless headaches like Xun Yu, Xun Youi, Cheng Yu, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, or those in military command, even martial forces we can appreciate like Lyu Bu, Zhang Liao, Sun Ce, Jiang Qin, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Xiu, these people are essentially the treasures of the Central Plains.” Jia Xu used ’treasures’ as a metaphor, and everyone understood what he meant.

”To be precise, everyone present also belongs to the treasures of the Central Plains, and although we have not yet encountered imperial wars, the deep foundation and provisions of an empire determine that ultimately, these treasures will decide victory.” Jia Xu said slowly, his strategic insight broadening as his perspective expanded.

One could say this change in perspective already destined Jia Xu to have a crushing advantage over the sages of the Central Plains Cao Clan, with different levels emerging between the sides.

”Since the collision between empires is a collision between these treasures, how can we destroy these treasures for selfish reasons?” Jia Xu’s voice, despite its bitterness, surprisingly showed a hint of ardor.

”Previously, we couldn’t persuade them, but now, their aspirations are too insignificant. Ordinary birds will never reject the Phoenix’s bounty.” At this moment, Jia Xu swept away his previously bleak demeanor, becoming sharp and fierce; nonetheless, in such a vast world, showcasing all of oneself for pursuit is difficult enough, let alone with reservations!

At this moment, Jia Xu swept away his previous dejection, and an upward-spiraling quality flowed from him, while his ever-changing spiritual capacity already sufficiently demonstrated Jia Xu’s inner shifts.

”Our opponents are so formidable; powerful neighbors are close by. How can the country rest easy? If we don’t target the opponents, will they not seize the opportunity during our internal chaos to snatch a share? Perhaps because of geography, they are not aware yet, but what if they discover it by chance? Should we hope for the opponent’s mercy?” Liu Ye sighed heavily.

Clearly, Liu Ye straightforwardly supported action no matter the reasoning; there is no saying of meanness in state behavior!

”Every capable minister and mighty general under Cao Cao and Sun Ce’s banners is the strength we need, so let’s defeat them and then inform them of the world’s vastness, showing that they, like us, are far too insignificant.” Guo Jia nodded and agreed, stating that on this path, these current enemies can be trusted.
