Chapter 40: The Wisdom of Thousand Years of Accumulation

"Doesn't Liu Bei think that your soldiers are a little scarce?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "What are the most elite soldiers today? You all want to know what you came here for? Rather than borrowing the strength of others, it is better for us to strengthen ourselves."

"After all, we are a rootless tree. It is a blessing to have so many soldiers. Chen Xi said that the most elite soldiers in the world are Xiliang Tieqi!" A glint flashed in Liu Bei's eyes.

"Well, this is a gift I prepared. If they gonna leave it here, I should take it away. If Hua Xiong can show the dominance of Xiliang's number one warrior, it is estimated that this time around 10,000 Xiliang Tieqi will be included with no problem." Chen Xi said with a smile, and then motioned to Hua Xiong. "The next step is up to you. After all, you have been in Xiliang for a long time. If there are enough people, the road will be much easier in the future."

"Before Lu Bu, I was the number one general in Xiliang. After Lu Bu came, I still am. He is the God of War, the undefeated God of War." Hua Xiong said with a wry smile, saying that if he is only relying on his reputation in Xiliang Tieqi there will be no problems, "But is Chen Xi so sure that he will take so many Xiliang Tieqi prisoners? You know this can be said to be the best in the world."

"Nothing, we just need to go receive it. Now, it must be Lu Bu who is leading the Xiliang Tieqi to cover the backline and now Lu Bu is probably about to defeat Cao Cao. It is the time when his doubts will be the greatest. When seeing us come, he will remember the words written in my letter, then turn around and leave. The rest is up to you." Chen Xi said indifferently.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Chen Xi slowly explained the reason, "The letter I gave to Lu Bu did not solicit Lu Bu. As a Bianzhou person who had received the favor of Lu Bu, I gave Lu Bu some tips and said that Li Ru will let him dig the imperial mausoleum, what damage this incident will do to him. Then that Li Ru will burn Luoyang, and let him break off from the main force to ambush the coalition forces."

"Uh, Chen Xi, didn't you give Lu Bu some advice?" Liu Bei said in a puzzled manner.

"No, it's just to gain Lu Bu's trust. And by the way, let Lu Bu can understand Li Ru better. Originally, Li Ru would explain things like ambushing coalition forces. However, I specifically gave a hint, saying that Li Ru would only explain the ambush and not explain how long to fight. The first attack, and the second attack is likely to be the bait of the coalition forces. After he fall deep into the attack, he may be ambushed, and even he himself will be trapped." Chen Xi said casually.

"Chen Xi, if you do this, aren't you afraid that Lu Bu will deliberately conduct a second ambush?" Zhao Yun frowned and asked.

"Lu Bu does not have this time, and Lu Bu will not put himself in danger. All the previous words are true. Lu Bu will definitely pay attention to the last hint, especially when the generals Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun are all there and you can kill him. At that time, he would turn his head to leave without hesitation. As for the soldiers under his command, he would not control them. As long as he was not a soldier of Bingzhou, he would not care about it at all. I confirmed this with general Hua Xiong." Chen Xi smiled and explained to Zhao Yun that he planned these things very skillfully.

"This is true." Hua Xiong with a wry smile, "Because in addition to the soldiers of Bingzhou, Lu Bu never cares about Xiliang soldiers death, which is why up to now the Bingzhou Wolf Ride and Xiliang Tieqi are still incompatible."

"Chen Xi is really talented!" Liu Bei said with a glance at Chen Xi.

"Probably not." Chen Xi spread out his hands and said helplessly. "In the future, the relationship between Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru will not be good. Lu Bu will always suspect that Li Ru and Dong Zhuo want to get rid of him. It will remain in his heart until the two sides have a falling out. Of course, I am not optimistic about Dong Zhuo. He has lost his original ambitions, and Li Ru is probably not willing to help Dong Zhuo who has no ambitions."

"So cruel! "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei said in unison.

"It's not cruel. I didn't kill anyone, nor did I let them kill someone. What I said was true, and there was no lie." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and began to argue, "And you see, I didn't provoke anyone either. A fellow countryman should considered for his fellow countryman, and Lu Bu really believes that Li Ru does not have such a thing."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all speechless, but it was undeniable that what Chen Xi said was quite right. There was no malicious intent between the lines in the entire letter. It was pure goodwill, but it let Lu Bu see the greatest maliciousness.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, we should go to receive our troops, this is our foundation in the future. Try not to kill as much as possible." Chen Xi smiled and calmed the few people, this kind of thing is too familiar to him. Sometimes the good intention that appears in places that shouldn't be there are precisely the greatest malice!

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun went back to the camp to lead their own soldiers and prepare for a big fight. From Chen Xi's words, they had already heard that the tens of thousands of Xiliang Tieqi are theirs, and Chen Xi did not plan to take the soldiers. Naturally, they wanted them. Divided between the four people, although a huge amount will be given to Liu Bei, but the rest are divided among themselves, then each of the four people can at least get one thousand!

"Liu Bei, can you tell me your ambitions." Chen Xi asked after thrusting Hua Xiong aside, but there was no smile in his eyebrows. He didn't mind Liu Bei answering any answers. He needed a monarch who was reliable, not a monarch with big ambitions and cruel heart.

What Chen Xi wants is stability. This era is chaotic. Any idea needs to be kept to himself before it can be realized. Whether it is to revive the Han Dynasty, to restore China, or to once again establish the spirit of martial arts, it needs him to be alive.

With 1,800 years of history, Chen Xi had much more knowledge and vision than this era. There may be inherent gaps in intelligence, but wisdom is the experience accumulated over time.

Chen Xi clearly knew that his intelligence would probably not be opponent of these ancient ministers, but there was no problem with his vision, knowledge reserves, and wisdom exploding their eight views.

The simplest argument is that Chen Xi at least knows the benefits of implementing what policies at this time, what will be the drawbacks in the long run, and do not even need to check for omissions and fill in vacancies. What impact will it have for hundreds of years? After a hundred years, what policy will need to be changed? If Zhuge Liang comes, can he know how the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are? What a joke!

So to say something unpleasant. As long as Chen Xi grasps the general direction of politics and economy, he has a few people who can be of use, and then there is a monarch who can let Chen Xi do things. Under the same conditions and within a short time, even if the famous ministers of the three kingdoms work together, Chen Xi was sure to suppress them. It was not intelligence anymore, it was pure knowledge and experience.
