Chapter 538: Comprehensive Development
The two sides were arguing with each other.
Although Guo Jia is a nobody, he is never vague when it comes to his job.
This is also the common point of salted fish. After all, salted fish also need to have a job. Those without a job are just pure slaves.
Chen Xi and Xun Yu had no say in the matter. Firstly, they didn't know much about intelligence, and secondly, they were still a little lacking in military matters.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Chen Xi finally had no choice but to stand up and call for them to stop.
"Jia Wenhe, are you sure you can conquer Goryeo within a year?" Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu seriously.
Apart from anything else, if Jia Xu can conquer Goryeo within a year, it is not impossible to make some adjustments to the national policy.
At worst, he could think of a way to shift some resources to Youzhou and try to keep the economy stable.
"...Fifty percent sure!" Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a fifty percent possibility.
Goryeo was not something to be feared, but he was worried that the Northern Huns would intervene, which would completely disrupt the entire plan.
"Is that so?" Chen Xi nodded, did not continue the conversation, and changed the subject.
"How many reinforcements do you need to be 100% sure?"
“…”
Jia Xu couldn't say it, the only solution he could think of was to defeat the Northern Huns as well with their participation.
He knew very well that Chen Xi knew about the Northern Huns, so Chen Xi's question was to make sure that the Northern Huns were also implicated.
At least 500,000 troops are needed , and it must be led by the general himself, with Huangfu Song in command, to be sure of victory.
"In that case, then stop your plan. Three years later, the strength we can spare will be several times greater than it is now. It will be enough for Gaoli to teach us a painful lesson."
Chen Xi directly stopped Jia Xu's plan. He was not interested in marching and fighting, but he did not want to gamble on something that was uncertain.
Since there is a more secure plan, why should he gamble? There is no need for him to gamble.
Jia Xu nodded with difficulty. As the third most powerful person in the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi stopped his plan, which meant that he was doomed to have no way to transfer troops from Jizhou and Qingzhou.
It is impossible to annihilate Goryeo relying solely on the strength of Youzhou.
"I know! I'll take care of it!"
Jia Xu cut off the communication between the two parties. Since his plan had been rejected, he decided to proceed according to the original plan.
If we cannot take down Goryeo, we must at least completely destroy Goryeo's back and cut off its idea of counterattack in the past few years.
"Humph, if that's the case, there's no need for Yi Sun-sin to live!"
Jia Xu snorted coldly. Since the north was destroyed, the south could not be left to Goryeo.
Yeon Gaesomun's power was greatly weakened and Lee Sun-sin gained the upper hand, which was not what Jia Xu wanted to see.
What nonsense is there about Yi Sun-sin surrendering as a vassal? He would never do that. Dead people are the safest.
Just like now, everyone guessed that it was Jia Xu who did it, but without evidence, no one can publicly accuse Jia Xu of murdering the prince.
Let Yeon Gaesomun, this ignorant lunatic, jump around for a few more days.
Lu Bu scratched his head. As one of the people who knew the truth, he miraculously understood the conversation between Chen Xi and Jia Xu.
But he didn't dare to say it, because this matter involved too many things and he couldn't cover it up.
These matters can be left to smart people to plan, and he just needs to defeat all his opponents honestly .
Those who are scheming have dirty hearts, and he doesn't want to be targeted.
"That's it, Wen Hou has worked hard, go back and rest!"
Hearing Chen Xi's order to expel him, tool man Lu Bu understood what he meant and quickly disappeared. He knew that the following discussion was probably not suitable for him to listen to.
Otherwise, even if he stays in the Government Affairs Office for a day with this identity, as long as he doesn't mess around, no one will drive him away.
But he didn't care. He just went home to see Yan and Diao Chan. Now that his little cotton-padded jacket had run away, he could only see his wives and concubines.
"I didn't expect you, Fengxiao, to come out on your own initiative. You've ruined Wenhe's plans this time. I'm afraid I'll definitely cause you trouble in the future!"
After Lu Bu left, Xun Yu marveled at Guo Jia's previous high-spirited performance, and then looked at Chen Xi and Guo Jia with strange eyes.
Should I say it's no shame to be a salted fish?
It's amazing how he never disappoints in big things.
"It's just my duty!" Guo Jia felt uneasy, but still waved his hand. This was indeed his essential job.
However, being targeted by this old vicious man Jia Xu is definitely not a pleasant thing.
"Okay, let's just let this matter pass. Wenhe also knows his limits!" Chen Xi ended the topic nonchalantly.
"You two should have an estimate of what's happening in the north!"
"Within three years, I need you to control public opinion. During these three years, you must not let any negative news spread to the Central Plains. I need time to develop."
"That's basically it. I will also give certain instructions to Congling. Basically, don't provoke disputes in the next three years." Chen Xi said calmly.
When it comes to work, since we are going to do it, let's just do it well and not go our separate ways. At least we should make sure that our efforts are united.
Jia Xu's plan today also served as a reminder to him.
Although he formulated a three-year plan, it was not issued through formal channels.
Even Jia Xu thought that this plan could be adjusted, let alone others. It would be better to issue the order directly through the imperial edict.
As soon as the three-year period was over, he immediately deployed a million troops to the battlefield, first destroying Goryeo, then destroying the Northern Huns, and finally expeditioning to Japan.
After pacifying the back garden, we can consider taking on the major empires in the West.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
In such a big matter, the most important thing is that everyone should be considerate of each other and not hold each other back.
Since Chen Xi has a unified plan, there is no need to make things worse, it would be better to cooperate.
With the unification of policies, the Han Dynasty was completely liberated from war and restored unprecedented peace.
This hard-won peace brought unprecedented tranquility to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Shi Bian of Jiaozhou also came to Luoyang to report on their work one after another. The original ulterior motives of the heroes were completely suppressed.
Times create heroes, and heroes create the world.
In such a peaceful era, even if a governor like Liu Biao wanted to rebel, no one would respond.
The common people of the Han Dynasty are pragmatic. As long as you can keep me alive, they generally won't rebel. Even if someone tries to rebel by force, they might be stabbed in the back by their own men and the rebellion will be put down directly.
In particular, Chen Xi integrated the upstream and downstream industrial chains, which directly improved the living standards of the people by a large margin, at least creating a feeling of peace and prosperity.
Especially since the entire country is in a period of rising development, there are opportunities everywhere and there is no such thing as class stratification.
