"It seems like you take this matter very seriously." Jia Xu said with some curiosity.
"You brought me here in the middle of the night and I don't take it seriously. How can you show that you take this matter seriously?" Chen Xi said angrily, "Send notices to all the major families and ask them to be careful. Raising a trumpet is not easy.
After all, you have invested your capital, so don’t let it die.”
Jia Xu nodded, this was not a difficult matter, and it didn't require any effort from him anyway. It was just a matter of sending a letter or something, and it was done easily for him.
"There is no need to worry about Cao Sikong's side." Guo Jia said with a smile, "Kandahar's bad terrain cannot be used by Kushan himself. It is completely different from Herat's previous attack on Kandahar. Now both sides are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Cao Sikong’s ability still needs to be trusted.”
"I'm afraid that Cao Sikong will swell." Liu Ye said casually while looking at the night scene outside the window, and Jia Xu also nodded silently. Cao Cao's ability requires trust, but Cao Cao can't control his behavior.
"It's not a big problem. There are so many people in Cao Sikong's family. Even if Cao Sikong himself can't stabilize himself, others will do their best to stabilize themselves." Guo Jia said nonchalantly, "You have to believe in Wen Ruo and the others' abilities before saying no.
Is there still a public platform to pour cold water on Cao Sikong?"
Chen Xi nodded, and a large part of the reason for bringing Chen Gong over was this. Cao Cao liked waves and could easily swell. If Chen Gong poured more cold water on Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao wanted to swell, he would probably swell in a short time.
Can't get up.
"Urgent report from the Secretary of the Ganges Bell." Just as several people were speculating on the situation over Cao Cao's side, someone from the internal intelligence team under Jia Xu quickly entered the Government Affairs Office and presented new information.
"What the hell?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow, "Vessudeva I shouldn't attack from both sides now. After we captured the city of Brahmas in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, it is impossible for Kushan to launch a violent attack on this side of the Ganges in a short time.
Attack."
In fact, after hearing the urgent report from the Ganges River, the few people who were talking nonsense stood up directly. Compared with the situation where Cao Cao's side could not win or lose, the Ganges side was the real Han Dynasty.
The main battlefield that I like.
The other battlefields were essentially just for the main force of the Han Dynasty to seize the Ganges River. But now Guan Yu, Li You and others had just led some of the elites who had been fighting for several years. After laying the foundation for victory, they turned back to the Central Plains. As soon as they turned around, Kushan took action.
Already?
"Is Vesudev I crazy? Do they still have the energy to do this now?" Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu in surprise and asked.
"This is impossible. In the previous situation, Vesudeva I did not win the battle of Brahmas. If we fight again now, we will lose the entire country. Vesudeva I is not at the end of the rope yet, and he will definitely not
I know how to bet." Zhuge Liang also made his own judgment.
Jia Xu opened the secret message and quickly browsed it. His original dignified expression calmed down instantly, "It was not the Kushans who took the initiative, but the southern noble families who took the initiative to attack the Chola Dynasty."
Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this, and everyone present was also stunned, and then looked at each other, this is wrong, how could those aristocratic families in the south take the initiative to attack?
"This shouldn't be the case. The Southern Family would actually take the initiative?" Lu Su said in disbelief, while everyone else looked like they had seen a ghost.
In the Central Plains, the southern aristocratic families and the northern aristocratic families are two different creatures. The most obvious point is that the aristocratic families in the north always aim for unification. Regardless of whether it is ambition or strategic vision, but
This group of people has aimed at the world from the beginning.
The southern aristocratic families are a bit uncomfortable in this aspect. Separation is the main goal of the southern aristocratic families. Therefore, the aristocratic families that moved to Central Asia are basically northern aristocratic families. In this regard, Chen Xi is not very capable of the southern aristocratic families.
It's trustworthy.
Therefore, although the aristocratic families in the south can be regarded as enfeoffed, but just looking at the privateering orders and reclamation certificates mainly sent to the south, we know that the route taken by the aristocratic families in the south is close to that of a local governor, and they need to rely on the Central Plains. Although they have enough power, they cannot compete with the real people.
There is still a difference in establishing a feudal state.
Needless to say, there are basically no families in the north. Except for some families who defected to the Yuan family due to unfavorable circumstances, the rest, no matter how big or small, play the mode of founding a country by fighting against others with real swords and guns.
The difference between the two is roughly this. In the governor-general model, one can be transferred away with an official document from the central government. Even if one does a good job, one can be transferred away. In the enfeoffment model, as long as I haven’t touched the few things about the country, you are
After crossing the line, I couldn't bear it anymore and started fighting directly.
The two models are closely related to the life attitudes of both parties.
Therefore, Chen Xi has relatively high hopes for the northern aristocratic families. For the southern aristocratic families, although Chen Xi estimates that there are some ambitious people who dare to take that step, if it really happens, Chen Xi thinks it will take several years before they appear.
People who are moving forward like this.
After all, before the Song Dynasty, the power of northern China was far greater than that of the south.
"The Changsha Kou family united with many families in the south to raise an army of 140,000." Jia Xu handed the secret letter to Chen Xi and said. Chen Xi was also stunned at this time, what kind of ghost family is this.
After taking the secret letter and reading it, Chen Xi realized that this was Kou Feng's family. After comparing the relationships in his impression, he realized how many people this family had before Kou Feng's father and grandmother went to the street.
Power, founding lord, eldest princess, relative of the country!
"Where do you get so many troops?" After looking at it for a long time, Chen Xi looked up at Jia Xu and said, "How come the Kou family has so many troops?"
"The captured Kushan prisoners, as well as the miscellaneous soldiers borrowed from other families." Jia Xu pointed to the description below and said to Chen Xi, gesturing for Chen Xi to take a closer look.
"I know. What I mean is, does the Kou family have so many weapons?" Chen Xi asked gloomily, "Isn't this nonsense? With hundreds of thousands of Guishang prisoners, only the Kou family can command them? This
Aren’t you going to die? Can’t the southern family even see this?”
"Kalit doesn't know how to command troops. They also win based on scale." Guo Jia looked aside and said casually, "Both sides may be fighting blindly."
"If this is a blind fight, why should the Southern family hand over their own prisoners to the Kou family?" Chen Xi said with a sneer, "Don't tell me that this is what the Kou family wants to get. I don't believe it."
"Kou is probably betting on the commander-in-chief of the army." Zhuge Liang said leisurely.
Li You had seen this kind of thing in the palace when he was in Chang'an. It was a very anti-human thing. But after reading it, Li You had to admit that it could indeed be done. As long as he didn't die, he would definitely do it.
I can gamble.
It's just that in the Central Plains, there is generally no chance to use this kind of thing, so Li You just mentioned it to Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang couldn't help it and remembered it.
"Betting on the commander-in-chief of the army?" Chen Xi's voice rose a bit. Can such a thing be gambled on?
"Yes, it can be done by gambling." Zhuge Liang described the principle in detail to several people present, and then everyone fell into a daze. With the wisdom of these people present, they naturally understood that this could be done.
Yes, but some people actually dare to do such a thing that is so outrageous in the world, and do it so openly.
"If this is true, then there is no doubt that the Kou family has this idea." Jia Xu was silent for a while and said slowly, "I have to say that the Kou family chose the best time. I didn't expect that there would be so many people in the south.
A courageous family, but I underestimated the descendants of the founding lords."
"How many people will die?" Chen Xi said slowly after a long while.
Chen Xi is not the Holy Mother. The Kou family has already started. Even if he wants to stop it, it is too late. What's more, this cannot be done overnight. It is not that easy to gather 140,000 people, and the other party has done this.
If it takes one step, there is little point in stopping it.
What's more, most of the people gathered here are Kushan captives. To a certain extent, in this era, these captives themselves are the property of each family. Even if we talk about human rights, we are talking about people with Han Dynasty household registration. Since the other party has
Chen Xi didn't want to say anything if he spent so much money on gambling.
"Just die." Jia Xu said nonchalantly, "It is the right thing to do for one general to make thousands of bones dry up, and if the Kou family can command so many prisoners, then they must have promised a reward.
What you said yourself cannot prevent anyone from receiving compensation legally."
Chen Xi glanced at Jia Xu with disdain and used his own words to block himself, but is this a legal reward? In this era, it may really be a legal reward.
"The Kushites are too bold. Those Dalits in the Chola Dynasty are not easy to deal with." Chen Xi sighed and said, "For the Dalits who originally had nothing, they finally got a good life, even because of the wonderful
It is enough for Dalits that their lives have deteriorated, but when their lives are destroyed and they have nothing again..."
"Despair and hope are the forces that can best bring out people's potential." Lu Su sighed and said, his wife knew this very well.
"By the way, Khusroi has been to the Chola side, so even if the Dalits have fallen, do you think I will believe it if Khusroi does not hand over his correct route to those people?"
"?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"You bastard, it's best not to say anything. Be careful, the Kou family will be finished, and you will be caught and scolded by the eldest princess." Chen Xi said angrily.
After all, the mother of the head of the Kou family is still alive. Although she is Emperor Huan's sister and has no direct blood relationship with Liu Tong, as the imperial aunt of this generation, the eldest princess's legal authority is no problem.
Therefore, Liu Tong still recognized the identity of Kou Feng's grandmother, the eldest princess. This was the basis for why Kou was qualified to receive two special funds. Of course, Chen Xi was too lazy to care about these small things. Anyway, everything borrowed had to be paid back, and it was not free.
