Chen Xi actually didn't talk nonsense. The current potential under Liu Bei's rule and the combat power that can be unleashed based on the current foundation have steadily surpassed An'an's head, and the pressure is still An'an's which has been basically integrated by Vologis V.
.
Of course, the overall combat potential is still a little lower than that of Kushan. There is nothing that can be done about this. If Liu Bei can swallow Sun Ce and Chen Xi completes the industrial integration under Liu Bei and Sun Ce, the two sides will basically be able to stabilize the control of Vesutiva I after complementing each other.
of Kushan.
Of course, part of the reason for this is that Kushans will never be able to fully integrate their country's industry and combat capabilities. The religious frictions and cultivation system frictions within Kushans will inevitably consume part of Kushans' strength.
This part of the internal friction will cause Kushan to always need to balance the internal situation. Unless Vesudeva I can be ruthless and completely abolish one of the lines, otherwise, Kushan will never even think about exerting all its combat effectiveness in this life.
As for Liu Bei's complete unification of the Central Plains, and then Chen Xi's move to integrate the entire country's industries, the overall strength of the Han Dynasty is definitely ranked first among the four empires, but being ranked first in absolute strength does not mean a guaranteed victory in the fight.
I remember that Emperor Wu beat the Xiongnu to the point of calling him daddy, but he actually lost for the first time when he defeated the cauliflower Dawan. There are too many uncertainties in war, and the overall strength of the country is greater.
The value lies in being able to withstand more losses.
That is to say, the so-called fighting is not about how hard you hit someone, but how hard you can take it. If the opponent punches you a hundred times, you are completely fine, but if you hit the opponent with one blow, the opponent will have to lie down and let you do whatever you want.
Being true is victory.
This is just like the Song Dynasty's external victory rate as high as 70%, the Tang Dynasty's external victory rate as only 46%, the Han Dynasty's external victory rate before the death of Emperor Wu was only 40%, and the external victory rate after Emperor Wu as high as 8%.
Fifteen, but due to too many wars before Emperor Wu's death, the average external victory rate in the end was only over 50%.
However, the Han Dynasty did not brag about its combat power, and everyone was convinced, while the Song Dynasty was beaten in the face when it boasted about its combat power. To put it bluntly, didn't it mean that it couldn't afford to lose?
Let’s talk about the Song Dynasty’s 70% victory rate. We don’t even mention how many of the Song Dynasty’s 70% victory rate were pushed to the bottom of the city and beaten to death. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, they all stabbed others in front of the enemy’s lines and beat others.
The winning rates are incredibly comparable.
In the battle between Song and Liao, the Liao attacked the Song fourteen times and the Song attacked four times, and the chance of being beaten was as high as 80%; in the battle between Song and Xia, the Xia attacked the Song six times and the Song attacked three times, and the chance of being beaten was two-thirds; between Song and Jin
In the war, Jin attacked Song twenty times and Song attacked Jin three times. The chance of being beaten was almost 90%.
At the end there was a battle between Song Dynasty and Mongolia. The Song Dynasty attacked three times and the Mongols attacked twenty-seven times. The chance of being beaten was 90%...
Basically totaling it up, the Song Dynasty was beaten sixty-seven times and counterattacked thirteen times. More than 80% of the wars were fought...
See clearly, more than 80% of the time are being beaten. In this case, the winning rate is lower than 70%. The immortal country will be damned. It cannot fight back and can only parry. It is the Song Dynasty. If the winning rate is less than
In terms of the probability of being beaten, no matter how high the winning rate is, bragging about the winning rate is actually a hooliganism.
Generally speaking, in Chen Xi's opinion, it is enough to ensure the normal external winning rate of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the 85% after Han Dynasty, even if it is the normal 50%, as long as you keep pressing others to fight.
, in fact, such a high winning rate is already terrifying.
Chen Xi ran away in the end, and Liu Bei didn't stay much. Chen Xi also had a lot of things to do. Liu Bei was interested in going to the military camp to meet someone, but Cao Cao always took him around, or just to chat, so Liu Bei couldn't leave Cao Cao alone.
Down.
The main reason is that Cao Cao still hasn't mastered Liu Bei's trick of identifying people. It seems that Cao Cao's memory of three to four hundred people's names has begun to get confused, so in order to prevent Liu Bei from continuing to use his power, Cao Cao personally held Liu Bei back.
Liu Bei didn't pay much attention to this aspect. After all, after so many years, he has really become a master in this aspect. He never thought that Cao Cao would go in and out with him every day for this reason.
But having said that, it took Liu Bei so many years of training to master such an invincible magical skill. Although Cao Cao's qualifications are much better than Liu Bei's, on the one hand, he cannot always focus on this, on the other hand
Even if Cao Cao wanted to learn, he couldn't do it quickly. This kind of thing just depends on practicing slowly.
In short, in order to prevent Liu Bei from showing off his power and pulling away all the middle-level people under his command, Cao Cao has been coming to Liu Bei on time every day, regardless of face, to talk about life, philosophy, and ambitions with Liu Bei. Anyway, he will get through this first.
Let’s talk in three months.
Although this kind of thing is extremely deceptive, thanks to Cao Cao's constant contact, the friendship between the two has become much deeper, and they have a very deep understanding of each other's will and ability.
Because of this understanding, Cao Cao believed that Liu Bei was a heroic figure. Although his talent was not outstanding, he had another kind of charm. Liu Bei believed that if Cao Cao was not limited by the Central Plains, he would surely soar into the sky.
He is the best in the world, even better than him.
Of course, when the two of them were chatting about themselves, they would inevitably bring Sun Bofu with them. After all, the three of them were roughly on the same level.
"Sun Bofu is a cheerful, straightforward, generous, informal, loyal, good at learning from each other's strengths, and good at employing people." Cao Cao said expressionlessly, "This is a character who can compete with you and me.
, although this guy’s mind is not online sometimes.”
Liu Bei laughed when he heard this, "Indeed, it is very interesting to talk about Zichuan's evaluation of Sun Boxu, 'Sun Boxu has a handsome appearance, a cheerful and straightforward personality, a generous man, and does not stick to trivial matters. But these are not important. The important thing is
There is Zhou Gongjin with an external brain, and Zhou Gongjin was able to issue orders on Sun Boxu's behalf after Sun Boxu ran away, and no one was afraid, "Are you afraid?"
"When I talk about learning from each other's strengths, the person who is good at using people is Zhou Gongjin. He is indeed a genius." Cao Cao sighed and said, "But I heard that his wife is quite beautiful."
"That's what you said..." Liu Bei raised his head, not knowing how to answer this question. Basically everyone knows that Cao Cao likes this, but you said it so blatantly, believe it or not, I will poke this into Sun Ce today.
With Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu could still laugh it off, but Sun Ce even beat Zhou Yu for his share.
"Ahem, cough, there is another important thing here. At that time, Dr. Taizhong was my friend, and Mr. Qiao was an upright official. The three successive princes had no savings, so he asked me to take care of the Qiao family, and Er Qiao was actually Mr. Qiao.
The clan daughter in Lujiang." Cao Cao said helplessly.
Liu Bei was slightly stunned. He really didn't know that there was such a thing, but it was true that Cao Cao and Qiao Xuan were on good terms. After all, they had agreed to meet each other.
"If you pass three steps, don't complain if you have abdominal pain" is a widely circulated saying.
Based on this feeling, it is really quite reliable to entrust the whole family to Cao Cao before his death, and with Cao Cao's integrity, he would not say such things nonsense.
It is said that after Cao Cao was an eunuch after all, the reason why he was valued by many people was not only because of his own abilities, but also largely due to the help of leading figures such as Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan. Well, by the way, these people
He has several beautiful daughters or daughters-in-law.
If you think about it this way, the second wife married by Sun Boxu and Zhou Gongjin was completely taking food from Cao Cao's mouth. But then again, with Cao Cao's integrity, he might still use this method to get the second wife.
Go to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to advance.
"To say that Sun Boxu and Zhou Gongjin didn't notify me when they married Erqiao, they really don't take me seriously." Cao Cao shook his head and said with slight dissatisfaction.
Liu Bei didn't answer this time, because if Qiao Xuan really entrusted the entire family to Cao Cao, then it would be too much to not notify Cao Cao when a Qiao Xuan girl gets married. It's one thing not to go after informing Cao Cao, but it's really wrong not to inform Cao Cao.
That's a little too much.
"You wouldn't want to have a fight with Sun Boxu and the others just because of this matter." Liu Bei said helplessly. Although he didn't know the underlying reason for this matter, with Cao Cao's integrity, he really wouldn't do it in this regard.
Nonsense.
"Ha, how could I care about it? I just felt hesitant when I learned about it. But after thinking about it, I did not fulfill my uncle's duties. It's normal that others don't take it to heart." Cao Cao shook his head and said.
This matter cannot be explained clearly. After all, Cao Cao had never paid attention to the Qiao family in Lujiang before. If the big and small Qiao had not been on the list of strange women, and there were only a few families with the surname Qiao in the world, Cao Cao would have casually
After checking, I found out that she was the daughter of Duke Qiao.
In addition, Xiao Qiao married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, which aroused Cao Cao's interest and led to the following events. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have never known that there was a branch of the Qiao family in Lujiang for the rest of his life.
Liu Bei remained silent. Liu Bei could guarantee that Cao Cao would definitely write down Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in his notebook. Although Cao Cao was broad-minded, men could be stingy about some things.
"Gong Jin, have you ever felt that there are always malicious intentions around you lately?" Sun Ce said after sneezing and rubbing his nose.
"That's because my sister-in-law is almost angry. She just became pregnant with your flesh and blood. You ran away when you heard that the Northern Huns were marching south, and you ran away alone." Zhou Yu was too lazy to talk to Sun Ce. He also felt a little uncomfortable in his nose now, so he slightly disliked Sun Ce.
.
"Ha, what are you doing?" Sun Ce looked at the documents on Zhou Yu's case and asked, "There are many names on it."
"This is the general reward I planned. Chen Zichuan, Xun Wenruo and I, the three of us did a part of it. I am mainly a general. Alas, Bo Fu, if you didn't run around at that time, I could make you make a lot of money.
Despite all the meritorious service, you ran away despite all the warnings." Zhou Yu got very angry when he mentioned this. How could he command the army and not prepare an Easter egg for Sun Ce?
