Chapter 139: Hidden Danger Of All Warlords In The World
Sure enough, no one stopped them throughout the journey. Ju Shou's dark face had become completely solemn.
After arriving at the border of Jizhou, Chen Xi asked Ju Shou to get out of the carriage, "Ju Shou, forgive me, for the sake of life, Xi had to do this. Presumably Gao Lan will come here soon. Please wait here, Ju Shou. Zhang Fei, you too should let go of Zhang He."
Since Zhang He was brought out by Zhang Fei under Zhang Fei's arm that day, even if he knew he was defeated by Zhang Fei, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Fei.
"Zhang Fei, you remember that I will return the favor one day!" Zhang He said angrily.
"You've said this sentence many times. Don't want to change to another sentence when you leave? Don't you feel embarrassed by repeating the same sentence?" Zhang Fei digs his ears while unceremoniously despising Zhang He for hundreds of years.
Zhang He did not speak, but just looked at Zhang Fei coldly. For the first time, he felt that compared to the commanding soldiers, force was also a very important aspect. He wanted to reach the height of internal qi air separation. For the first time, he was eager to be able to go beyond the present level. At least at that time he won't be as weak as this time.
Guan Yu looked back coldly at Zhang He, and for a moment Zhang He felt that his whole body was cold. The god-like sword light that day still remains in his heart. The silent Guan Yu is far more deterrent than Zhang Fei in his heart.
"Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun will lead the army!" Chen Xi ignored the expressions of Ju Shou and Zhang He, and directly gave orders to Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci. He didn't want to be attacked. In ancient times, this kind of carelessness would extremely likely lead to collapse. There is not much that can give Chen Xi a sense of security.
"Obey!" Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci shouted loudly, completely disregarding Ju Shou and Zhang He. Even in Ju Shou's perspective, this sentence was actually spoken to him. It can be seen that Chen Xi, like him, did not want to start a war at this time. The only difference between the two is that Chen Xi is younger and bolder.
"Chen Xi, you won this time and I will write it down. But if you and I fight again in the future, I will not be merciful because you let me go today." Ju Shou said with a cold face.
"Hehe, you won't meet me anymore. I won't come to Jizhou again." Chen Xi smiled and turned around to leave.
Looking at the various materials that Taishan army, who were slowly retreating from Jizhou, took away, Zhang He had a face of anger and said. "County guard, shall we not pursue and attack?"
"No, those materials are exchanged for a lesson. In my opinion, it is very worthwhile, and this lesson has made me discover that there are many huge hidden dangers in Jizhou. Chen Xi can use this hidden danger by taking advantage of the trend and directly accomplishing an incredible feat with a thousand people. Doesn't it make you think about it?" Ju Shou stared at Zhang He and said. He had already noticed the problems with the Jizhou army in this incident. These issues are much more important than those materials.
"Jizhou's military and administration must be improved! It can't be like this anymore. You must have the power to decide when necessary, otherwise it may become the meat on the chopping board!" Ju Shou said forcefully. Without this right, it is very likely that the current situation will still occur again. As for how Yuan Shao will deal with it, Ju Shou did not think about it. He is thinking about the future of Jizhou, not for personal reasons. Ju Shou believes that Yuan Shao will readily agree!
On the carriage, Chen Xi was also thinking about the problems that existed in Jizhou that may exist around Taishan. Taishan hidden danger definitely exists. Even if the place is small now and the hidden dangers are suppressed, but sooner or later the same problems as Jizhou will be exposed.
The military administration must be improved, and there must be no such thing as being tricked by others. When Chen Xi thought of the scene in Jizhou that may appear in Taishan one day, he felt that he would be ashamed all the way to his grandma's house. As for how Liu Bei would deal with it, Chen Xi reluctantly thought of a way to deal with it. Let's take it step by step. Overall, the situation of Taishan's army is much better than that of Jizhou.
"It's hard to find a balance throughout the ages!" Chen Xi smiled bitterly. Even the arbitrary power in special circumstances will cause big problems. After all, this is the soil that nourishes ambition in any era. Even Chen Xi himself cannot guarantee that he will always remain calm in his heart while maintaining the dictatorship.
For this reason, Chen Xi admired Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had arbitrarily power, but he is still the only one who remains respectful to the emperor throughout thousands of years. For this kind of determination, Chen Xi admits that he can't even do it himself. It is not a matter of wisdom. It's not a matter of vision. It has been the same since ancient times. The world can make men sink deeper and deeper and finally unable to extricate themselves. The only unhappy game is politics. Lying drunk on the knees of a beauty, waking up to power, for thousands of years men have succumbed!
The lofty ambitions have no way to stop this erosion. White sand in black soil will also turn dark with it. No matter how pure the heart is, it will be corrupted if touched. Chen Xi knew this early on, and wanted to keep the original color in its dye tank where it is impossible to get mixed! This is why Chen Xi directly handed over the power when he left Fenggao, because he didn't want to give himself a chance. Once he had the first chance, Chen Xi couldn't be sure that he would refuse the second chance. The best choice for not wanting to get corrupted was to not touch it at all.
The current situation is because of certain situations that have to be dealt with, and certain people must be given arbitrary power under certain circumstances. This power is the best way to breed ambition. But if this right is not given in certain circumstances and you continue to ask for instructions, this kind of monkey-play incident in Jizhou will occur.
"Forget it. Don't think about these things for now. After this incident, Liu Ye, Lu Su, and the others will definitely notice this aspect. Let them handle it." Chen Xi silently looked up from the carriage and said to himself. He has already done what he should do, and the hidden dangers have been pointed out. Now it's up to them to solve this problem.
"Mi Zhu!" Chen Xi opened the window and called to Mi Zhu who was riding a horse outside.
"What's the matter?" Mi Zhu replied.
"Let your informant pay more attention to Ju Shou and his handling of this accident, as well as Yuan Shao's reaction." Chen Xi whispered.
"Chen Xi, you can use Taishan's own intelligence line, why use Mi family?" Mi Zhu asked with a weird expression.
"Taishan's intelligence line is now fully exploring Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and can no longer burden them. As for Jizhou's intelligence, I just want the result." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
Based on previous hidden dangers, Ju Shou's intelligence, and Yuan Shao's temperament, Chen Xi felt that he might understand why Yuan Shao had to let his three sons, his favorite nephew, and senior cadre each lead a state when Yuan Shao's situation was good in history. No, it's not that Yuan Shao had a problem with his brain, but that the threat posed by the three sons and the high-ranking cadres in each state was far smaller than the threat caused by not grasping the military and political power of the land.
Thinking about it again, by the time of the Wei period, the actual controllers of the frontier area seemed to be the direct lineages of the Cao and Xiahou families. No matter how strong their ability was, the other ministers had to stand aside. That is to say, at that stage, all the warlords understood the necessity of arbitrary power at a specific time! But what is more clear is the danger of it.
