Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 511 What is War?

German military theorist Clausewitz once said: War is an act of violence to force the enemy to obey our will.

Liu Xie knew this sentence a long time ago and took it seriously.

The closer they got to the Jibei River, the more Cao Jun's corpses were on the road. Most of them had terrified expressions on their faces and nostalgic eyes for the world, and they just lay on the ground alone or in groups.The dried blood and rolled up soil seemed to put a layer of filth on them, making their death even more miserable.

In the face of all this, Liu Xie can't turn a blind eye.Therefore, behind Liu Xie, a battlefield medical team led by Zhang Ji was responsible for cremating and burying these corpses.In addition to letting the dead rest in peace, it can also prevent the spread of the plague.

Of course, the price is that Zhang Jiyue and Liu Xie's eyes are getting more and more resentful.As for Hua Tuo, who has the same heart as a doctor's parents and is still very compassionate, he even sighed to Liu Xie insinuatingly whenever he had the opportunity: "It's a crime..."

Of course Liu Xie also knew that he was committing crimes, but the problem was that this troubled world was an era of committing crimes.Many people, including some scholar-bureaucrats in the upper court, couldn't figure it out. Today, the Han Dynasty is still orthodox, and the emperor is so brave. Seeing that the Han Dynasty, which has experienced a hundred years of disasters, can be rejuvenated, why are those who have been favored by the emperor and read since childhood? Why don't the scholars and princes who wrote the sages and sages don't follow God's will, and work together to create a beautiful and harmonious new man in peace and harmony?
Liu Xie had only one answer to these words: "Just farting, you still have to become a prince. After you sit on that seat, I wish I could kick my legs earlier, and you also come to the stage to spur Yunei and sweep the prehistoric world..."

Everyone has such a thing as ambition, and it can't be said whether it is big or small.A beggar's extravagant wish for a piece of pancake is also considered an extravagant wish.A prince has come to the step of ruling one side, so why should he be surprised if he thinks of ruining the whole world in his arms?
What's more, how can a creature like a man not long for people to be respectful and fearful in front of him, not long for the powerful sense of controlling the fate of thousands of people and the sense of accomplishment for transforming the country and making contributions?Think about wanting to carry out one's will without any compromise, where the eye can see, which man can resist this kind of temptation?

From this perspective, Liu Xie is just one of them.Therefore, when he saw Cao Cao who was waiting in full force, he didn't have the slightest anger towards Cao Cao, but was full of a feeling of sympathy for each other.

But Cao Cao faced Liu Xie with suppressed hatred on his face.At this time, he already knew the news that Xiahoudun had lost his left eye, and his life and death were unknown. Looking at Xiahoudun who was covered in blood and a crossbow arrow was deeply inserted into his left eye, Cao Cao was filled with murderous anger for a moment.

Everyone knows that Xiahou Dun's importance to Cao Cao is not appropriate to describe it as his right-hand man.Everyone in Cao Jun knows that when Cao Cao is not around, Xiahou Dun must be in charge of the overall situation.This is not only trust, but also a manifestation of Xiahou Dun's ability.And the most intuitive proof is that Cao Cao's first marriage with children in his life was to marry his eldest daughter, the Princess Qinghe in later history, to Xia Houdun's second son Xia Houmao.

But this time, Liu Xie almost chopped off Cao Cao's arm, how could Cao Cao not be heartbroken? !

But at the same time, Cao Cao also had endless self-blame in his monstrous anger.In Cao Cao's opinion, famous swords should never be just for decoration.Just like his Qingzhi sword and Yitian sword, Cao Cao has always used the Qingzhi sword to kill the enemy and rely on the sky to suppress power. He never put these two swords into the gorgeous scabbard, so that they will never come out of the sheath.

It was also driven by this idea that Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to Puyang when he was conquering Yanzhou.At that time, Cao Cao felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. After all, what Xiahou Dun was facing was the emperor of the Han Dynasty whom Cao Cao himself was afraid of, and Lu Bu who was afraid of him.

Fortunately, when Xiahou Dun attacked Puyang, the situation was still favorable.Therefore, Cao Cao's explanation to Xiahou Dun is: If you win, you will be blessed by God; if you don't win, you can win even if you don't win.

But even with such a cautious and conservative explanation, the fact that Cao Cao put Xiahou Dun in danger cannot be avoided after all.Because of this, when he saw Xiahou Dun's miserable state, he felt even more saddened and filled with regret.

Therefore, when he saw the 15-year-old boy at this moment, Cao Cao did not show military salutes or treat his courtiers with humility. Instead, with a hint of revenge, he asked Liu Xie directly: "Your Majesty, have you received the Kansai? Good news?"

Such a question is equivalent to Cao Cao's self-indulgence on the Kansai matter.Liu Xie's expression froze suddenly, and he couldn't figure out what Cao Cao wanted to do: "Cao Mengde, do you really think that the tricks you played with Yuan Shao in Kansai can keep you from being punished by heaven? You are a minister of the Han Dynasty , Don't think about the herdsmen, lead the army to riot in Xuzhou, slaughter endlessly, make hundreds of thousands of Guizhou heads hate Surabaya, and commit the act of angering the beasts. Do you really think that the negligence of the Skynet will make you and other prodigal sons mad and poison the world? !"

Liu Xie must have said these scenes, not to mention he really wanted to know why Cao Cao was so cruel and ruthless.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't give any answer to this question. Instead, he shook his whip and said, "Your Majesty, Qin has lost its deer, and the whole world is chasing it. In today's troubled times, your crimes of the Han Dynasty for a century, do you really think you can write them off? Kansai The chaos, the Qiang and the Hu are unbearable, and I, Cao, have repeatedly violated the frontier? Hanzhong is peaceful, and Zhang Lu rises up, is it Cao's crime?"

"Cao Mengde, you dare to say that there is no father, no king, and no law!" Liu Xie was furious immediately when he heard the words. Cao Cao's words were clearly a stupid logic: the world is in chaos, and soldiers are fighting frequently, but others can cause chaos. Can't?If everyone in the world thinks this way, must we usher in an era of endless chaos and devastation before we give up?

Sure enough, if God wants to destroy people, he must first make people crazy.In Liu Xie's view, Cao Cao was already crazy at this time.

"Your Majesty, don't say such boring words. The chaos in the world is caused by the way of heaven. In this chaotic world, we must use our strengths to make peace. It takes a man of the world to break through and stand up! You and I know the truth, why deceive ourselves and others? "Cao Cao put down his whip, and seemed to enjoy Liu Xie's anger.

This kind of declaration can be said to be arrogant, or it can be said that he has a true temperament.But for Liu Xie, it just made him feel extremely disgusted. The false image of Cao Cao's beautification by later generations was completely shattered at this moment, and Liu Xie also knew that Cao Cao was just an ordinary person who let his emotions go: "Cao Mengde, today you It's useless for me to say more, but I can only show my ambition with blood and fire!"

This sentence fully explains that 'war is an act of violence to force the enemy to obey our will'. When the other party does not agree with your ideas at all and does not want to talk to you at all, the only way to beat him is violence. Only by lying on the ground can he be obedient.As for his will and his ideas, after that, they can be completely trampled on.

The [-] Han troops waited for a long time. Knowing that this would be the end result, they became excited one by one. The monstrous murderous aura flowed and surged in the turbulent Jibei River, stirring up endless waves.The military flags were sent out everywhere and passed back and forth among the entire army formation. The dull war drums and desolate horns were also ready to sound the prelude to the war at any time. The formation of the Han army changed like clouds and flowing water, like a grand and epic heroic prelude.

However, at this moment, Cao Cao suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.Even Cao Jun, who was behind him, laughed wantonly, shaking the world with dazzling sarcasm.Liu Xie once again clenched the red battle flag in his hand coldly, and vowed to drive Cao Jun into the ever-flowing Jibei River as long as the army array was in order.

But at this moment, the scene that surprised Liu Xie but seemed familiar appeared again.In the midst of a sudden column formation, the military order with the rank of mouth galloped a split route in the formation.

Before going to battle, this move is a big taboo, unless there is a catastrophe, it will definitely not disturb people.But Liu Xie knew that in the military system of the Han Dynasty, there was one thing, which was to make Jin Yiwei do this.And Liu Xie also knew that Jin Yiwei, who had such authority, would definitely not be so ignorant.

The only explanation, and only one.

And Cao Cao, who watched all this quietly, but never lined up to meet the enemy, finally showed a smile, and threatened to say to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Cao is only involved in the good news in Kansai, and cannot express his heart." But this good news, it is Cao who specially entrusts His Majesty at this moment!"
