"What's the situation in Kushan now?" Liu Bei said cautiously. After all, the person who is stationed in southern Kushan is his second brother and he is also the most trusted general.

"It's still under control, but our troops are in a disadvantage." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is helpless, but it is very realistic. The biggest problem with the Han Dynasty now is that the normalized military power comparison is at a disadvantage.

It’s not because the Han Dynasty is not strong enough, it’s because the Han Dynasty blocks the door of other people’s houses to beat others, so there are some problems with the deployment of troops, which leads to the overall situation not being very good. However, if you really want to say it, the overall situation is still stable.

"I remember that there should be more than 60,000 soldiers in Yunchang now." Liu Bei thought about the last report and said with some thoughts.

"Well, they are all elite soldiers, and most of the generals and soldiers under them are very brave. Except for our headquarters, Ji Ling and Zhang Ren are now first-class elites." Chen Xi nodded and said, the situation is getting better now, and as the war continues, the average quality of the soldiers is gradually increasing.

"There are more than 30,000 Wenru's behind it." Liu Beixu knocked on the table with a serious expression. The nearly 100,000 elite soldiers sounded very powerful, but even if Chen Xi didn't say it, Liu Bei knew that he would not react when throwing them in.

"How long will it take if we want to increase our troops?" Liu Bei asked with a frown. The battle of the Empire seems too harsh to Liu Bei now. The potential and strength of both sides will be digged out, and then it will become much stronger than before.

"The second batch of people who have moved will definitely arrive within three months. I guess Kushan should have taken action by then, and Zhong Yuanchang will almost be there." Chen Xi said as he estimated the time, "I can't say Yide and Zilong can catch up."

"In that case, Wenru should be able to free his hands, and the problem should not be big." Liu Bei nodded. He was relieved of Guan Yu's ability, but Liu Bei was more worried that Guan Yu was plotted by the other party, and when Zhong Yao passed by and took over Li You's affairs, Liu Bei was still very relieved with Li You's ability.

Although Liu Bei occasionally felt that Li You's style of doing things was a bit too bad, he had to admit that the way of handling was very efficient and basically would not leave any troubles. Therefore, Liu Bei would let it go later. As long as he didn't do it too much, Liu Bei would not speak.

However, after arriving under Liu Bei's command, Li You didn't seem to have done anything too much. If he hadn't accidentally learned the other party's true identity, Liu Bei might not have thought about the other person.

"Speaking of it, I'll ask you a question." Liu Bei was a little hesitant and embarrassed. Maybe he felt that he shouldn't ask this question.

"What's the problem?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"That's it..." Liu Bei said four words and stopped after a while. "Forget it, forget it, don't ask anymore. Some things will be boring if you say them."

"What's the matter? It's still so mysterious." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei curiously. When Liu Bei's words learned to arouse people's interest, this is not a good thing.

"Forget it, forget it, change the topic." Liu Bei waved his hand, thinking that it would be better not to pursue it, just pretend that what happened back then was done by another person.

"I'm very interested in the previous topic!" Chen Xi said angrily, "Let's listen, let's see what topic can make you so cautious."

Liu Bei sighed, then grabbed his long hair, "Okay, I'll just tell you, but don't spread it. How do you say that the history books will record Wen Ru?"

"..." Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently. This question, Li You had said before. When Chen Xi was curious, he asked Li You, saying that if it was you, you would not be afraid that history books would nail you to the pillar of shame. As a result, Li You's answer was that the two identities had been separated, and at some point, they would completely become two identities.

Chen Xi didn't understand before, but later when Li You came to meet all the civil and military officials in Nanyang, Chen Xi understood that his identities had been broken and turned into two people.

"Wenru is a Wenru." Chen Xi sighed lightly, "This era cannot avoid Duke Xuande, so when recording, it will be whitewashed. The problem of Wenru has been completely solved in Nanyang. Even if it is spread, it will be divided into two parts. After all, the man who has already evaporated during the Chang'an Rebellion and has never appeared afterwards."

In fact, Chen Xi guessed that Guan Yu and Li You's records should be the same in history. He did everything he should do, and then he evaporated from the world. At most, when recording, he would mention the place of birth and experience. The two would have a high overlap, and the time points between the two could match just the right time.

However, there will be another thing involved. When writing about Li Ru, you will mention it in Dong Zhuo's part. When writing about Li You, it is the standard biography. All the records will be recorded, and the only hidden part is the problem of two identities. However, this problem is not hidden for Li You, but for Liu Bei.

At that time, there will inevitably be hints that Liu Bei knows his identity, while Li You smiled and said about this matter, as well as the descriptions of the identity, which is true and which is false, and everything that should be recorded will be recorded, and time can be detained, but whether you can understand it is not a question of the historian.

What the historians have to do is to record what happened during their lifetime. It is enough for someone to understand the hidden places, but it does not need everyone to understand.

"So that's it." Liu Bei nodded. He didn't want to pursue this matter, but after being hit by Xun Yue as the recorder, Liu Bei thought that he should be careful.

"Don't worry, that guy is doing things without any loss. Unless we fail, he will definitely have a way to escape from history." Chen Xi said with a chuckling, and Liu Bei nodded, and he was convinced of Li You's ability.

"Next, let's look at my second brother. We have to take charge of the country for a long time, otherwise it is easy to cause unstable people." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and said. In fact, with the call out of the army, some small-scale chaos have occurred in various places. This is also the reason why Man Chong has been away from Chang'an. There are many illegal incidents that have forced Man Chong to crack down on him.

"The situation is not very big, right?" Liu Bei asked again, Chen Xi nodded. There are quite a vacancy in the bureaucratic system now, and re-employment has become a big problem. Due to the lack of officials, some positions will inevitably be merged, which led to some supervision. Now Man Chong is dealing with these things.

"It's still possible to control it, it's not a big problem. Just take a batch. And it's different from when we were in the past when there was a big gap. Now we can still fight for military operations. It's time to have moral requirements." Chen Xi said with a calm expression.

Military transfer seems to be a job transfer that only appeared in later generations. In fact, this thing is just a variant of military merit.

In the early pre-Qin military merit system, in fact, every title except Lehou and Guanneihou all corresponds to official positions. Lehou and Guanneihou have transcended the official position system and respect for the title system. Other eighteenth-level titles have corresponding official positions.

Therefore, the so-called military transfer is that you are of this title. I will see what the corresponding official position is and then stuff you over. It is so simple and crude.

This is also the reason why the Qin State was very well-managed in grassroots management. It was because there were a large number of middle and low-level titles and converted into officials. Although this group of people may not be as good as professionals in managing local areas, the obedience of the commands made it easy for them to be one of the top and bottom.

Even if there are some scum among them, they are mostly all the people. Therefore, after taking over, they are very good at controlling the country's grassroots level. The same flaw is one-size-fits-all. The above said that they can do whatever they do. Anyway, if something happens, it is not your own fault...

Chen Xi finally got into this pit. There was no way. The gap between officials was too big, so he could only be the middle and lower-level generals. Fortunately, Liu Bei, the Dinghai Sword, was there, and Chen Xi was not worried about this. Even if there were some scum inside, as long as Liu Bei was in charge, most people would not be corrupted.

"By the way, then Duke Xuande, please select a group of suitable school transfer officials. Remember to select them and invite them to have a meal and let them do it well." Chen Xi casually gave Liu Bei a few words, and Liu Bei rolled his eyes. He was more familiar with this trick than Chen Xi.

You should know that when Liu Bei was in Mount Tai in the early years, he used this method to win over many poor students. When the Yellow Turbans left Qingzhou, none of the officials from the counties on Mount Tai could run away and stood there, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Although there were some corrupt things later, Chen Xi once saw a person who was corrupt because of corruption and bribery. Liu Bei personally invited the banquet. Therefore, when Liu Bei accidentally saw something, he had an impression of that person. After all, when the other party was sent to be the county magistrate, he invited him to take down the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. After Liu Bei invited those officials who were under the pressure of the Yellow Turbans.

Therefore, I still had some impression of this guy, so I went to take a look. Chen Xi remembered it very clearly. After seeing Liu Bei, the other party burst into tears.

Especially when he was sure that Liu Bei knew him, and when he saw his case, he directly convicted his crime and admitted his crime. He even said anything that Man Chong had not dug out. Finally, when he went to the court, he wrote a blood letter to Liu Bei, indicating that he had let Liu Bei down.
