The fewer people in a meeting, the more important the things discussed are, and this has been true throughout the ages. Many major events that change the fate of many people are decided by a few words between a few people.
After everyone left, Cheng Dalei and Liu Bei drank tea in the warm hall. The weather had already entered winter, and it was already chilly in the northwest, but the earth dragon was burning in the warm hall, and the doors and windows were not opened, but they did not feel cold.
"This is a new tea that just came from Jiangnan. The world is in chaos and trade routes have been cut off. This batch of tea was brought back from Jiangnan by Bai Yuanfei. The taste is pretty good." Cheng Dalei said while tasting the tea.
Liu Bei tasted the incense of the tea and said calmly: "He died because of Li Xingzai. This incident must be recorded on Li Xingzai no matter what. I wonder what the master thinks of this matter?"
Cheng Dalei was silent for a moment and said: "No one will die in a war. He also chose this path. In this case, no one else can be blamed. It's just..."
"It's just that the boss may not be able to let go of this matter."
Cheng Dalei neither admitted nor denied, but simply said: "Now is a major event to fight for the world. What will be determined is the future of the empire for hundreds of years. A human life is really worthless."
Liu Bei brought the tea cup to your Excellency and said: "According to the opinion of the great master, in the war between Jiangnan and the Rong tribe, who will be the victor in the end?"
Cheng Dalei blurted out: "In terms of the strength and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Li Xingzai has no chance of winning anyway. Even if there are natural dangers in the river, a big river alone cannot protect the foundation of Jiangnan. However, wars still depend on people. From this perspective
It is said that Nohara Huo has the ability to compete in the world, but Li Xingzai must not be underestimated. The number of future winners and losers is still unknown."
"According to the news from Jiangbei, after the Rong tribe broke through the city, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. The people in the north are hoping that the imperial army can fight back. In the matter of fighting for the world, Nohara Huo has lost the most important people's hearts."
Cheng Dalei nodded: "So, even if Ye Yuanhuo can defeat Li Xingzai and dominate the world, it will definitely not last for a long time. At most, for a hundred years, people will recover, and the Rong tribe will be driven out sooner or later. You asked me just now for my opinion. In my opinion,
Li Xingzai's top priority is not to start a war with the Rong tribe, but to use the drag-zi technique to drag them down with Ye Yuanhuo."
"Nohara Huo has lit a fire in the empire, and this fire requires war as raw material. Once there is no war, Nohara Huo will be consumed by himself. It won't take long for Li Xingzai to win without a fight."
Liu Bei nodded and asked: "So, based on the master's understanding of Li Xingzai, can he think of this?"
"This..." Li Xingzai sighed, and finally shook his head slowly: "What can I say about Li Xingzai? He really enjoys great achievements. Besides, he has gone through many things. The Li family has brought shame on the world. As a descendant of the Li family, of course he
If I want to take it back, I always think that there will be a battle in the south and north of the Yangtze River. In fact, this battle may not be fought now, it can be delayed for ten or eight years. When the power in the south of the Yangtze River is consolidated, it will be much easier to fight against the Rong people."
"But because of his impatience, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait long. In my opinion, in a year and a half at the earliest, or in three or two years at the earliest, a war will break out in the south and north of the Yangtze River. By then, whoever wins and who loses will really be left to fate.
.”
Liu Bei reached out to hold the tea cup and found that the tea in the cup was already cold. He didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he said, "Master, what are we going to do?"
Cheng Dalei opened his squinted eyes and found Liu Bei staring at him motionless.
He sighed, knowing that he had finally reached the most important thing of the day.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "It's not me who asked about this matter, but the brothers all have an idea. It's now time. I'll give you a few words as to what you're thinking."
While the battles between various princes in the empire were raging, Cheng Dalei silently consolidated his strength. Now he has 100,000 men under his command. These 100,000 men are well-equipped elite soldiers capable of going into battle. If you include the civilians who transport food and grass,
It is an astronomical number.
In the troubled times, not only Nohara Huo and Li Xingzai are left on the card table, but the war between them may not determine the future ownership of the world. Because there is also Cheng Dalei in the northwest, who quietly has the qualifications to compete with the other two factions.
Cheng Dalei sighed and said: "He also asked me about this once. It was because I didn't give him a good word that he rode out of Liangzhou alone, but now he has ended up like this. It's sad to say that.
"
Cheng Dalei took a sip of tea and said: "I'll give you an explanation today. From my heart, I don't want to fight. The empire has been constantly fighting in recent years, and the people have been displaced, but we in Liangzhou have indeed gone through several years.
In good times, I took advantage of this situation to accumulate strength and build the foundation we have today."
Liu Bei nodded: "In the past, the master's judgment was good. If we had entered the battlefield early, we might have squandered all the money we had. But now, it's really time to take action. If we don't take action, we may miss the best opportunity.
"
To be honest, Cheng Dalei has some small-farmer mentality. From Qingniu Mountain to now, he is a small-time rich man. And Liu Bei is born with a world-weary sentiment. Because these two people worked together to suppress it, Liangzhou did not easily stir up the flames of war.
In the past few years, Cheng Dalei has been recharging his energy, and it can be said that his strategy is not wrong. The purpose of hiding is to realize, and if he doesn't take action now, there is really no need to take action again.
"Give me some time and let me think it through."
"This is indeed a big deal. The master needs to think it over carefully." Liu Bei said: "I just want to ask, is the master interested in that chair?"
Looking into Liu Bei's eyes, Cheng Dalei slowly shook his head.
Cheng Dalei looked at the tea mist floating in front of him and said: "I have been in contact with the two emperors one after another and found that they were also made of flesh and blood, but once they sat on that chair, they seemed to become another kind of creature. They knew how to do Taipei.
There are so many things you can’t help yourself with, and you can’t do many things you want to do. It seems like whoever sits on that chair is just a tool.”
"I don't want to be a tool, I still want to protect my emotions and desires. Besides, I am a bandit. Bandits value being capricious and can't live uncomfortably."
Today, Cheng Dalei expressed his feelings directly, which was regarded as a confession to Liu Bei. Liu Bei nodded and said: "I understand the master's intention, but my brothers may not think so. When the time comes, they will make you their leader. I'm afraid it won't matter if you are the master."
Method."
"I can't help myself, I can't help myself." Cheng Dalei said twice in succession: "Now that I am just the lord of Liangzhou, I can't help myself. What's more, I am in the position of ruling the world. Now I am taking a step to watch a movie, no
