"I remember one seemed to be the limit on the number of troops, and the other was the loss of elite veterans. General Zhang also gave him an assist at that time, allowing Zilong to step down safely." Guo Jia thought for a while and said.

"After the food problem ended in Mount Tai, I began to change the pattern of soldiers' retirement and enlistment. It was really a mess to recruit new people. If you retire, leaving at the age of 30 is indeed a waste. With the idea of ​​recycling resources, I completed this military system and the military farming soldiers were considered as managers and have always been under my name." Chen Xi said with some pride.

It is true that Chen Xi was unsatisfied. With this method, he gradually accumulated a huge amount of reserve troops, and was not a parallel recruit, but a real elite. This is also an important reason why Chen Xi was sure to defeat Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

No matter how strong the other party is, it has no substantial significance for Chen Xi now. As long as Chen Xi has a steady combat power, no rush, any strategy will be dead when facing this military force.

This is the most real hard power. Although civil officials and military generals can also determine the direction of the war, when there is no obvious gap between civil officials and military generals on both sides, the most basic logistics, military strength and soldiers' qualities are the most real gap.

"Well, if you say this, there will be almost a million troops after the merger of the three companies." Li You frowned and said. Raising soldiers is indeed a very expensive thing.

"Well, but it's not considered a military man. You can rest assured in this regard. What's more important next is to let Weishuo carry out publicity. We need to change the propaganda caliber, and then we will inevitably migrate the people." Chen Xi smiled and said, after all, they did not focus on the civil war from the beginning. If they wanted to go out, they would not have a million troops, which would be too much.

Li You nodded. Although Liu Yan has done nothing in recent years, Liu Yan's publicity has greatly improved Liu Bei's reputation. More importantly, Liu Yan's publicity has made them stand at the highest point of morality in many cases.

It is precisely because of this that Li You has always been optimistic about Liu Yan. This is indeed a character. At least Li You doesn’t think he can let the famous scholars in the world speak up with him.

Although Liu Yan's method is a bit bad, for Li You, poor methods are nothing. As long as you can accomplish things, it is not a problem at all.

"I have agreed to their large-scale training plan, and I happened to take it to Yecheng for a walk to let the people determine the strength of our army. As for the consumption of the troops and the turmoil that may be caused by the troops, I am making adjustments and it should be shocked occasionally." A coldness flashed in Chen Xi's eyes.

"What kind of wind did you hear?" Li You asked.

"I think it's because some people under Cao Gong and Sun Bofu's command were not convinced. Zichuan wanted them to understand their weight." Guo Jia remembered what he had seen recently through information. Sun Ce and Cao Cao's upper class were still stable. Although he had planned to fight, he did not have the idea of ​​ruining the entire Central Plains, but some rumors have already appeared in private.

"I'm afraid it's not just this aspect. You're here too early." Fa Zheng yawned and said, "In fact, the three of them had already discovered it when he entered the school, but there was no need to hide anything about Fa Zheng now.

"Well, Xiaozhi, you're too early, too." Chen Xi waved and said.

"I had such a mess yesterday, so of course I didn't dare to run around today. Are you talking about military service?" Fa Zheng came halfway through, so Chen Xi explained it.

"You have to start cleaning up the internal affairs?" Fa Zheng was no longer sleepy when he heard this. Li You, Chen Xi, and Guo Jia all nodded, that's what it meant.

"Yes, we have almost been smooth sailing all the way. There are not many speculators under Duke Xuande, but we have strict control, so no one can influence Duke Xuande. But now it is about to be unified, and you all know what voices there are inside." Chen Xi nodded calmly and said.

"No wonder I heard people say that people often go to Cui Ji," Fa Zheng said, touching his chin, "Someone wants to divide the credit so quickly."

"That's because Cui Ji is upright and constantly investigates and punishes everywhere under his control. He is not afraid of quarreling with anyone when it is right." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "If they can get in touch with you, they probably won't mind coming to talk to you."

"After all, it's time for them to work hardest, and it's time they look forward to the most. I'm afraid it's similar to the situation before Emperor Gaozu's enthronement, and at most it's not that chaotic." Li You didn't have any good idea about this aspect, this is the heart of the people.

"There are not many people who are purely ideal, so we unified them back, but everyone did not get what they expected. I'm afraid there are disappointed officials everywhere. Then there will probably be a large group of people who will quarrel with each other." Chen Xi said with his arms folded and sneered.

"It's normal for human nature." Li You said very well. After all, what is the purpose of being an official and a soldier? It is purely for ideals. It is either defeated by reality early or forced to transform reality. The former is endless, while the latter is only a handful.

In this way, the purity of the entire bureaucratic system, just like that, whether it is for the sake of making better or for realizing your ideals, it is inevitable to climb upward.

If Liu Bei ascended the throne, it would be a feast for all the officials under Liu Bei's rule. Therefore, no matter how many times Liu Bei said it before, these officials would choose to support him.

In reality, maintaining the current situation has absolute benefits for the next development, but for most officials under Liu Bei's current rule, their purpose from the beginning was their own interests. Compared with the continuous benefits brought by the pioneering country, there is no immediate benefit brought by the dragon.

"In short, this is the case. I think it is necessary to calm these guys down. Don't always think about destroying the situation I have finally arranged. Even if I want to ascend the throne, it is not now." Chen Xi said with a dark face, a group of guys who don't want to make cakes but just want to eat cakes.
