Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1033 Youzhou Army’s tone is too crazy
Seeing the expressions of several people, Chen Wu smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, a certain family is actually just pretending. The Xiongnu are naturally ferocious and barbaric. They often use force to force others to submit, so they must use more arrogant methods." Only by treating him well and making him feel that you are not afraid of war and conflict at all can the Huns know how to stop."

After saying this, several more people came over to ask for instructions. Chen Wu ordered them one by one, and they were well organized and organized. Even Liu Kun couldn't help but secretly admire him, feeling that this captain who had been a refugee indeed had certain abilities.

However, Liu Kun did not believe Chen Wu's so-called brutal statement.

When Chen Wu spoke just now, he was not talking to the Hun prisoners, but to explain things to his generals, subordinates, and people close to him. Why did he need to use such methods?Obviously, it was because of the excitement of the battlefield that Chen Wu was emotionally agitated, so he revealed his true feelings. After speaking his heartfelt words, he realized that the impact was not good and there were outsiders present, so he said a few words to cover it up.

But understanding this made Liu Kun worried.

Could it be that the main fighting faction within the Youzhou Army has become eager to try and is unable to control itself?
This is not impossible, especially after seeing the capabilities of Youzhou Xuanjia Army with his own eyes, he feels that it is extremely possible. With such combat power, even if the number is small, only 4 or [-] people are enough. Sweep across the Northland and establish your authority with almost no chance of failure.

A sure victory will definitely bring about military exploits, promotions, and many other gains. How can you endure it?
From this perspective, Chen Wu and other Youzhou military's desire for war is completely reasonable and normal.

Here, Liu Kun understood the reason. Over there, after Chen Wu explained something, he came over and continued to explain on the way back to the army: "Those words before were indeed meant to confuse the enemy. This is also in line with my general's views. Pay attention to mutual deterrence and strategic balance."

Just make it up!

Liu Kun had the same expression on his face, but he sneered in his heart, knowing that the military leader was clearly worried that his nonsense would have an impact and be detrimental to him.

This is not because Liu Kun thinks highly of himself. He knows very well that with his status and reputation, as long as he arrives in Youzhou, he will be received by Chen Zhi personally and then entrusted with important tasks. Moreover, he is in a position where he can often meet with Chen Zhi. Among them, The reason can be known without asking.

This situation resulted in Liu Kun's words reaching directly to the ears of Chen Zhi and the highest-level civil servants. You can imagine what those people would think once they knew Chen Wu's words.

Keeping these thoughts in mind, Liu Kun had no intention of using them as blackmail. It was definitely not a rational choice to use such things to threaten a captain who had military power and seemed to be quite capable, especially one who might have a blood relationship with Chen Zhi. , not only would he not do it, but he would also teach his son not to do it.

On the contrary, once this matter has been dealt with, it is actually an excellent opportunity to draw closer relationships.

So next, Liu Kun didn't say much about Chen Wu's words, as if he had forgotten this "little thing", and instead asked about the so-called "mutual deterrence and strategic balance".

Seeing that Liu Kun was so polite, Chen Wu became more polite and explained Chen Zhi's proposition in detail, which made Liu Kun surprised.

Liu Kun originally wanted to change the topic, but when he actually listened to the explanation, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Chen Zhi's proposition is simple to say and has existed since ancient times.

To put it simply, it is nothing more than maintaining a balance of combat power between enemies and forces, thereby restricting each other, preventing both sides from falling into a war, and relying on force to maintain superficial peace.There are actually many such examples, from the coexistence of the countries in the pre-Qin period to the confrontation between the three countries decades ago, all can be considered such a balance. However, sometimes, two weak ones join forces to confront the stronger one. thereby maintaining balance.

But this balance does not last long and will soon be broken.

If there is any exception, it is probably the historical confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

It's just that the northern and southern sides of the Northern and Southern Dynasties seemed to be evenly matched for a long time, but there were constant internal changes, and attacks from the north and the south continued.

In the north, from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties, and later the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the internal balance of opposition was also moving towards.In comparison, the south experienced the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen periods, which seemed to be stable and excessive, but in fact it was slowly consuming its vitality. Sometimes, the south relied on confrontation with the north to maintain internal integrity and unity.

In the current branch of history, there is no fact that the Southern and Northern Dynasties are in opposition, but Liu Kun relies on his own knowledge and believes that such a balance is actually a competition between the two sides to see who can make preparations first, accumulate enough strength, and then Determining the outcome and upsetting the balance is a delaying tactic.

"In this way, the current situation is to use force to promote peace and plan the time and space for development."

"As expected of Mr. Liu Fu, he hit the point in one sentence!" Chen Wu praised, but the key point was still to praise his own boss. Behind him, Chen Zhi's views really surprised Liu Kun, even a little surprised——

Chen Zhi put forward a new point of view based on the balance of combat power, which is to ensure that one's own force can completely destroy the enemy. Before reaching this level, one should first maintain a superficial balance of power and create a situation where others and ourselves The illusion of a small difference.

"Right now, we are going to strike hard at the forces that are extending their claws towards Youzhou! Cut off the claws and arms together to let them know how powerful they are! Only with this kind of deterrence can a rough balance be maintained!"

As Chen Wu was talking, he noticed Liu Kun's expression and changed the subject: "Mr. Liu, what are your intentions here? A certain family knows it, and will be one of their own in the future. Sooner or later, they will know and come into contact with it, so tell me It doesn’t matter, with your knowledge, if you go to Jixian, you will definitely be reused. You are also a person who has led soldiers and fought with the Huns for several years. In the future, in the General’s Mansion, you must speak more for my military experts!"

Liu Kun wiped his sweat and felt relieved. He was indeed a little worried. There would be something unexpected after hearing this. Since they were all accessible, he thought it would be fine.

But when I calmed down and thought about it, I felt something was wrong.

What does it mean to have the force to completely destroy the other party?The tone of these words is too arrogant!
Thinking of this, he first didn't believe it, then frowned and became suspicious, but he didn't ask, otherwise it would be disrespectful. No matter how suspicious he was, it was hard to question him face to face.

So he changed the topic again and said: "It seems that Youzhou is focusing on developing military power. No wonder they found us so quickly. I didn't send anyone to ask for help in advance. I didn't expect that in the wilderness, Youzhou could find us so quickly." There is also a large army stationed in the state!"

Chen Wu pointed to the road ahead and said, "Sir, you will understand when we get to a certain place."
