Cheng Yu's murderous intention was just a glimpse of horror, and was quickly dissipated under the comfort of Xun and Xi Zhicai.

After calming down, he couldn't help but laugh at himself for his impulsive thoughts at that moment. Let's not talk about whether to target Zhuge Liang. Even if they were really determined to kill him, how could they deal with him? Silently assassinate one of them.

Even Lu Bu, a top strategist, may not be able to do this. After all, the strategists in this world are all beings with terrifying mental powers. Not to mention getting close, even if they are hostile, they will be discovered if they are not careful.

Seeing Cheng Yu's somewhat lost look, Xun and Xi Zhi sighed slightly.

When Cao Cao was defeated, the most unbearable person was not them or Cao Cao, but Cheng Zhongde, who regarded Cao Cao's great cause more important than his own life. Xun and Xi Zhicai could somewhat understand the pain and resentment in his heart.

.

"Zhongde, we have been defeated. Although I am not willing to accept it, I hope you will recognize this and stop saying such things in the future. My lord once dreamed of becoming the Han general who conquered the west. Although the Han Dynasty is gone now,

We are still Han people, and my lord has never given up on his goal of becoming a general to conquer the West. Since the Han people do not deserve my lord's loyalty, then we should be Han people's generals to conquer the West. No matter what, we are always Han people!" Xun stared at Cheng Yu,

He said in a solemn tone.

Why did Yuan Shu dare to raise tigers to cause trouble and release the noble families and even traitors like Cao Cao?

Because they are all Han people, the most honest Han people in this era. No matter where they go, their roots have never changed.

If these people are released, they may always think about attacking the Central Plains, but they will never collude with foreigners. Just like the enfeoffment of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the separated princes are not enlightened. They only start to interact with each other after assimilating the local people.

Annexation? The proud Han people disdain to be compared with these foreigners.

Neither Cao Cao, who aspired to be a general to conquer the West, nor the arrogant Yuan Shao, nor Liu Bei, a descendant of the Han family, could have done such a thing.

In Yuan Shu's view, separating these potential "enemies" would be of great benefit and no harm, both to the Han people and to him and the Yuan family.

Doing so will not only speed up the "assimilation" of the Han people into the whole world and lay the foundation for the future expansion of Da Chu, but will also be conducive to the continuation of Da Chu.

Counting from the Shang Dynasty, which dynasty lasted the longest among the many dynasties in history? Not the Qiang Han, not the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the Zhou Dynasty. Even though the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were so chaotic, the Zhou Dynasty royal family still lived alone.

Since the Han Dynasty, the life span of each dynasty has become shorter and shorter, and it is almost impossible to escape the three-hundred-year cycle of reincarnation.

If a country has no external troubles, it will have internal troubles. Sometimes having more enemies is not a bad thing.

And how much threat can these enemies released by Yuan Shu pose? Nearby are countless aristocratic families. Although there are many of them, their individual power is too weak, and they can only control a medium-sized kingdom.

Although having so many kingdoms will cause some trouble for Chu in the future, it will not cause any harm.

Just like during the Zhou Dynasty, these small countries had to annex each other if they wanted to threaten the Chu Dynasty. How could it be possible for so many small countries to annex each other enough to threaten the Chu Dynasty in less than a hundred or two hundred years?

The enfeoffment rules formulated by Yuan Shu are much stricter than those of the Zhou Dynasty. At least there will be no embarrassing situation where the enfeoffment country divides its own territory, making the enfeoffment country stronger and itself weaker.

On the contrary, as each of the surrounding vassal states expanded, they had to give up part of their land to the Chu State. As they annexed each other, fought and grew stronger, the Chu State also continued to grow.

In this way, the vassal states completely became a tool for Chu's expansion. And the ambitious ones had to do this. Only when they became strong enough to resist could they possibly confront Chu. Otherwise, they could only accept the situation and submit.

As for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the princes who will be released by Yuan Shu in the future, they are all restricted by Yuan Shu in the far west. I don't care about you there. You can do whatever you want, but you can't come back or get close.

Yuan Shu is happy to see Cao Cao and the others grow stronger. It would be best if they could annex a few more countries and even replace Parthia and Rome. How long will it take for them to grow to a certain level? And what will happen to them after they grow?

Yuan Shu did not annex Parthia. Rome's idea was that the distance was too far and the logistics could not keep up. Even if they could win, they would not be able to manage it. After Cao Cao and the others established a kingdom to replace Parthia and Rome, their descendants would be able to waste thousands of dollars on their own.

Will all the hard work gained be returned to the Central Plains?

At most, there will only be three or four empires standing together as now, but Parthia or Rome will be replaced by countries ruled by the Han.

What Yuan Shu is doing now seems like a saint, but is he at a disadvantage to himself? The enemies he releases are all non-threatening in a short period of time and will not pose a big threat in a long time. Not only do they not pose a fatal threat to his descendants, but because of their

Threats may also make your dynasty last longer. After all, internal troubles are much more likely to lead to the country's collapse than foreign troubles. Just like the Han Dynasty was destroyed by force, having more enemies is not necessarily a bad thing.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu, who came from later generations, saw clearly that there is no thousand-year dynasty in this world. Even if it is like the strong Han Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Song and Ming Dynasty, it can only last for a few hundred years at most. Therefore, Yuan Shu does not care much about his descendants and himself.

How many years can the great Chu established last?

It cannot last more than a few hundred years, and it cannot last more than two hundred years. This is the destined fate of the feudal dynasty. At least Yuan Shu is confident that with his own abilities and Zhuge Liang and others, he can ensure that his dynasty can continue for more than a hundred years after his death, and his direct grandson

, great-grandchildren, etc. are all safe and sound.

Even if the dynasty was destroyed, it was better to be destroyed at the hands of the Han people than the foreigners. The various massacres in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and the tragic ending of the Song and Ming Dynasty royal families were very clear to Yuan Shu. They were destroyed in the hands of the enemies they "created", maybe they saw it as incense.

For the sake of love, it can still have a decent ending, which is better than being destroyed by internal rebels or foreigners.

There are some things that I have never thought of, but as soon as someone reveals them, they will become brighter and brighter.

Others never thought that there would be such a choice, but when Yuan Shu proposed it and implemented it, many people immediately understood the benefits, and Xun was one of them.

Earlier, after understanding Yuan Shu's "sinister" intentions, Xun was truly shocked.

Yuan Shu's approach not only left a wise man behind and was conducive to rule, it was an unparalleled achievement for the Han people. It also did no harm to himself and the Yuan family. On the surface, it seemed like they were at a disadvantage, but in reality it was

Quite the opposite.

Not only do they feel grateful to work for him for free, but they are also asked to help him "take care of" his descendants.

Compared with the protagonist, Yuan Gongli is the real "treacherous hero"!

Xun murmured in his heart.
