Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 421 Political Logic Chain
According to Xun Qu's thinking, Xun You actually deduced a logical chain in his mind at that time.But the very end of the chain was a dead end that even he couldn't argue with.

First of all, if the Xun family advocated that all ethnic groups in Yingchuan join the Han Dynasty, it would definitely become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.This has nothing to do with the personal characters of the two rulers, even with their current power, they absolutely cannot allow a family to challenge their authority.

Afterwards, as soon as the gate of Yingchuan was opened, the imperial army would inevitably drive straight in and start a battle with Cao Cao.For the time being, I don’t want to think about events such as the stalemate in the war. Let’s just say that the Han Dynasty won the victory and defeated Cao Cao and Yanzhou, but what happened after that? ...

With the current strength of the Han Dynasty, is it possible to swallow the two great states of the world, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, in one go?
Military and politics are not games, as long as you lay down a territory and occupy it, it is a complex and orderly system that takes time to settle.Xun You knows the current situation of the Han Dynasty best. Right now, the Han Dynasty has included Guanzhong Sili, Yongzhou, part of Bingzhou and part of Jingzhou, and even Yuzhou has begun to get involved.

In just two years, the Han Dynasty had actually eaten too much and began to show signs of indigestion.Although the Han army has been winning, victory does not mean that it is a good thing.Behind the victory, it often means that the Han Dynasty must have more talents, a more complete system output, and a more mature material reserve.

However, the current Han Dynasty does not have any of these.

According to the words of the emperor Liu Xie, the Han Dynasty is currently striding forward desperately, and it does not know when it will be a mess-although this statement sounds vulgar, but Xun You deeply believes it.

What's more, with the strength of the Han Dynasty's dispatch of troops this time, it is impossible to wipe out Cao Cao in one go.After all, Cao Cao was backed by Yuan Shao, and everyone knew the system of Yuan Cao's family: as a barrier to the south, Yuan Shao couldn't just watch Cao Cao being completely swallowed up by the Han Dynasty.

Then, when the Han Dynasty won the hearts of the world and once again became the focus of the world's attention, what will happen to the ending?

Not surprisingly, when the battle reaches its limit, both sides must stop for halftime.At that time, it is time to enter the stage of negotiation between the two parties.Cao Cao, who became the target of public criticism, must endure all kinds of humiliation and sign the unequal treaty written by the Han Dynasty.But if Cao Cao kills one and the Xun family must pay the price, what will the Han family do?
Will the Han family give up the people of Henan, Yan, and Xu in order to support the Xun family?

Don't say that the Han Dynasty is the winner, with absolute power, it is not like this at all in real operation!

There is a saying that those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. Because Cao Cao is the defeated party, he can completely ignore it and disrupt the world as a rebel.The Han Dynasty could not be completely wiped out in a short period of time, so how could the emperor not compromise?

Hooligans are not to be feared, but they are cultured.And Cao Cao is not only an educated hooligan, but also a hooligan with political vision.With Yuan Shao behind him, and he was determined to kill the Xun family, he offered the most favorable terms to the Han family, only in exchange for the additional condition of killing the Xun family.And as long as the court is based on the world, it will generally choose the default...

This is the cruel chain of political logic.Again, it's not that Liu Xie has no benevolence, it's just that politics has always believed in these things...

Moreover, this period does not include the desperate revenge of Cao Cao and Cao Jing'an against the Xun family.Although the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty can protect the Xun family around the clock, as the defensive side, they are naturally at a disadvantage, and there is a great possibility of failure.

However, Xun You is Xun You after all.This super genius with keen insight since he was a child, after thinking hard, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he saw through a deep paradox hidden in this chain.This discovery immediately made Xun You's face covered with sorrow a lot more vivid and wise, and he couldn't help smiling at Xun Qu: "Uncle, you are indeed worthy of being the head of the Xun family, even with such a secret political chain. I've seen it all... However, because you are too smart, you complicate simple things."

"Oh?..." Xun Qu was very familiar with the look on Xun You's face, but while he was surprised, he looked forward to what Xun You would do next.After all, as the head of the clan, he was already a little out of breath under this heavy burden, and now he was very relieved that someone could share a little for him.

"Uncle, we can actually learn Wen Ruo uncle and move the family to another place."

"You mean Chang'an?" Xun Qu originally thought he would hear such a wonderful idea, but unexpectedly, Xun You only said such an idea that everyone could think of, which immediately disappointed him: "Your, you will not be childish. Do you think that by hiding in Chang'an, we can escape Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others? Not only that, but after moving into Chang'an, once these two people reach an agreement with the Han Dynasty and order the Han Dynasty to hand us over, then we will be even more It's tantamount to cocooning oneself..."

"No, Uncle, you really think too much. In fact, by doing this, my nephew just wants to ensure that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will not be able to retaliate against the Xun family in Yuzhou. As for what you are worried about, it will never happen." Xun You looked at his uncle who still didn't believe in him, and the smile on his face became wider and wider: "No... the thing you are worried about will definitely happen. But the final result is that as long as there is a nephew in the court One day, His Majesty will definitely be tough to the end!"

"Why?" Xun Qu was frightened by Xun You's firm self-confidence, but at the same time he was even more sure that Xun You hadn't lied to himself, and finally he couldn't help urging Xun You: "Boy, you should hurry up and say, you have to worry about uncle No?"

"Uncle, think about the fact that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are able to blackmail the Han Dynasty. It is nothing more than their determination to defect from the Han Dynasty and become enemies with the Han Dynasty. But in fact, their trump card is actually very trendy. Not to mention Yuan Shao, Just talking about Cao Mengde, my nephew concluded that he would never be so stupid as this."

When talking about this, Xun You's plain face changed, as if a gust of wind blew across the water, causing ripples: "Everyone knows that the heroes of the world have long been obedient to the Han Dynasty, but on the surface, they have all worked hard. Looking for the fig leaf of the ministers of the Han Dynasty. There are so many people in the world who cause chaos, but these people are the only ones who are still standing today. Apart from various reasons, don’t you think that fig leaf is actually very useful, uncle?”

Xun Qu slowly listened to Xun You's analysis, and the cells in his brain that were not old at all began to become active: he could naturally see how important this fig leaf was to those heroes.Although the Han Dynasty was in chaos and wars were everywhere, the emperor never lost his virtue, and the common people and scholars all over the world still had their hearts towards the Han Dynasty.It doesn't matter how hostile these princes are to the Han Dynasty in their actions, but once they lose the signboard of being a minister of the Han Dynasty, their nature will be completely different.

Among other things, let's talk about the two Han Sui and Yuan Shu who have been stripped of their disguise by the emperor.How hard are those two people's lives now: Han Sui didn't have a single scribe to take refuge in, only those big bandits who gathered on the Xiao side followed him to make trouble.Although Yuan Shu's forces seemed to be revived again, counselor Xu Miao fled after Yuan Shu escaped into Yangzhou. Another important counselor, Yuan Huan, heard that he had also closed his door and would not offer Yuan Shu a single trick.

Of these two people, one can only act fiercely at the frontier for a while, while the other's heart has been renounced, and the signs of defeat have been revealed.The seemingly weakest move in the hands of the emperor actually caused the most fatal internal injuries to them.

"It can be seen from this that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will definitely test the Han Dynasty for the sake of face. But my uncle thought our emperor was wrong. Once he made up his mind to attack Cao Cao, he would be the first to tear off Cao Cao's face. It’s a fig leaf. At that time, Cao Cao actually has no capital to blackmail the Han Dynasty! After massacring Xuzhou and then causing chaos in Yuzhou, how could he, Cao Mengde, be so arrogant and ignorant?!”

"Uncle, the political chain in your mind was originally based on a non-existent assumption. The reason for moving the family to Chang'an is just so that they can't use any despicable methods secretly." The more Xun You said, the clearer his thoughts became, and his tone couldn't help Gradually raised.But at the end of the day, he spoke to Xun Qu in a slow voice like an old man:
"Uncle, my nephew understands that you are ignorant of the incidents of Assassin Cao and Jing'an Cao, but it's just an expedient measure. But in fact, after my nephew entered the Xun family, the Han Dynasty followed. The attack is self-defeating, but it is the moment to take advantage of the situation and cry out for the [-] innocent people in Xuzhou, which is the way to survive!"

These words invaded Xun Qu's heart like mercury pouring down the ground.Xun Qu closed his eyes involuntarily, and after a long time, he laughed wryly at himself, as if letting go of a heavy burden, and said to Xun You, "Son, why did you come back at this time? If you came back earlier, uncle wouldn't have to be so smart." It's been so long..."

"No, uncle, I can only say that my nephew came back at the right time!" Xun You vetoed Xun Qu's words again, but there was already a tinge of joy in his tone.

Because he knew that the task entrusted to him by the emperor had already been completed.
