The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 384 If you are not arrogant, can you still be called a young person?
"Is it really okay for you to disrupt Xun Wenruo's thoughts like this, and at this time?" Lu Su stood up and asked Chen Xi, and moved all the official documents on Xun Yu's desk, as well as the documents that needed Xun Yu's review and approval, to Chen Xi's desk.

"Hey, why are all of them moved to my place? Aren't you going to help deal with it? How about we divide these documents up?" Chen Xi did not respond to Lu Su's question immediately. Instead, he first condemned Lu Su for moving Xun Yu's government affairs to him, and by the way, he planned to divide some of the documents that Lu Su had moved here.

After seeing that no one was willing to take over this part of the document, Chen Xi shrugged and said, "What's wrong with this? Look, apart from him, a staunch royalist, are there any people here who are angry and uneasy about the topic just now?"

In fact, people here have almost reached a clearer understanding of the future situation of the Han Dynasty. Even Xun Yu himself has a certain understanding of the future situation, but he is unwilling to believe it.

Xun Yu would rather believe that Liu Bei would return power to the current emperor after reunifying the Han Dynasty than believe that Liu Bei would covet that position.

It may be that Liu Bei's moral performance all along made Xun Yu believe that Liu Bei really would not have ambitions for that position. After all, after returning the power, Liu Bei had already reached the highest position among the ministers. Would he still choose that position? He is Liu Bei. With Liu Bei's morality, would he really covet the throne of the Han emperor?

Unfortunately, Xun Yu underestimated Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei had no interest in the throne of the Han emperor, he did not want to let an incompetent person sit on that seat, especially when this person only had some cleverness, did not know himself well, and had no sense of the overall situation.

Although Liu Bei had never met Liu Xie in person, the Fenggao Intelligence Department had its own people in the court. So although Liu Bei had never met Liu Xie in person, he knew more about Liu Xie from the words he read than Liu Xie himself.

Liu Bei himself had never seen Liu Xie in person, but he formed a clear impression of Liu Xie from the words recorded by the Intelligence Department: he did not look like a king.

Upon hearing this, Lu Su looked around at the people around him and found that it was just as Chen Xi said. Even Cao Cao, his former enemy, acted as if it was a matter of course.

In their view, if Liu Bei, who reunified the Han Dynasty, is not the emperor of Han, then the current emperor has no right to continue sitting on the throne. After all, Liu Bei is a relative of the Han royal family.

With the great achievement of reunifying the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Xie did not want to abdicate, many Han royal relatives and court ministers would persuade the current emperor to abdicate. I just don't know what those relatives would do at that time.

Although there are several loyal ministers around the emperor, will they hinder Liu Bei from ascending to the throne? Even if they want to stop Liu Bei from ascending to the throne, can they really succeed with their strength alone?

The trend of the Han royal family and court ministers joining forces to force the current emperor to abdicate cannot be stopped by those few people, even though after Liu Bei comes to power the interests of those people will be greatly reduced and they may even have to give up some of their vested interests.

However, when they were pushing for the trend of the current emperor to abdicate, a bigger trend had already been formed. That was the trend controlled by Chen Xi, a trend that started with the re-unification of the Han Dynasty.

"Your purpose is not just to make Xun Wenruo realize the current situation, right?" Lu Su did not believe that Chen Xi had only this one purpose. After all, Chen Xi was very good at killing two birds with one stone.

"I just want him to clearly understand the relationship between the person sitting on the throne and the throne." Chen Xi shook his head. The royalist Xun Yu could not tell until his death whether he was loyal to the person sitting on the throne or the throne itself.

Lu Su looked at Chen Xi deeply, and then looked at the people who seemed to be in deep thought. Chen Xi wanted to remind more than just Xun Yu.

Some people have been stained with the glory of the throne, while others have allowed the throne to be stained with their glory.

So which one is Liu Bei?

Or maybe, Liu Bei is neither of those, Liu Bei is just Liu Bei.

Yang Ji looked at Liu Bei, who was hurrying on his way, with some surprise. After Liu Bei came out of the Government Affairs Hall, he took Yang Ji towards the Fenggao camp without saying a word, with a conflicted expression on his face.

"Lord Xuande, are you still thinking about what happened just now?" Yang Ji thought for a while and asked Liu Bei. Some things still need to be understood, otherwise if they are kept in your heart, it will affect your mood.

"Hmm..." Liu Bei answered in a muffled voice. He was indeed thinking about what happened just now. The throne of the emperor was an incomparable temptation. Who in the world would not be attracted by it?
"Lord Xuande, what are you struggling with?" Yang Ji could actually guess what Liu Bei was struggling with, but he still had to ask. After all, it was not a good thing to let Liu Bei keep this matter in his heart.

"I..." Looking at Yang Ji, Liu Bei didn't know what to say. As a relative of the Han royal family, how could he have thoughts about that position?
"Is Lord Xuande blaming himself for having thoughts that he shouldn't have?" Yang Ji directly pointed out Liu Bei's inner struggle.

"Oh, yes, I am indeed struggling and blaming myself. I do have ideas about that position, but my reason tells me that that is not what I should think about. That is why I feel entangled and blame myself." Liu Bei sighed.

Before today, Liu Bei really had no idea about that position, just as Xun Yu thought. In Liu Bei's vision, after re-unifying the Han Dynasty, he would not return the power in his hands, because he had to ensure the interests of his civil officials, military generals, soldiers and people.

Having witnessed the greed of those people, Liu Bei would not put down the knife in his hand to divide the cake. This was also the knife that ensured that the cut cake would be delivered to the person it belonged to.

In Liu Bei's vision, his final position should be the regent of the Han emperor, like Yi Yin and Huo Guang, rather than the person sitting in that position.

But, what Chen Xi said today made Liu Bei realize that his determination to be the regent was shaken. Liu Bei found that his belief in being the regent was not firm. Liu Bei found that he had some ideas about that position.

"Zi Yu, do you have any way to help me solve this problem?" Liu Bei asked Yang Ji. Just now in the Government Affairs Hall in front of everyone, he didn't feel comfortable asking Chen Xi for advice. Although Chen Xi was not around now, Yang Ji was there.

"Only you, Lord Xuande, would consider this a trouble." Yang Ji said lazily. If it were Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, they would not have any hesitation when facing that position. Any hesitation would be a betrayal of their own heart and education.

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then realized what Yang Ji said, shook his head and laughed, "Is it my fault that my moral level is neither high nor low?"

Indeed, just as Yang Ji said, he would be the only one who would regard this matter as a trouble and worry about it.

If his moral standards were lower, he would not even struggle or blame himself, but would simply admit that he did have that idea, and would even sit back and watch Chen Xi and others push him into that position. If his moral standards were higher, he would not struggle or blame himself at all, because he would not have any idea about that position at all.

"So, Lord Xuande, if you want to solve your troubles, you can lower your moral level a little bit, or raise your moral level a little bit." Yang Ji smiled and gave Liu Bei his suggestion.

"..." Liu Bei looked at Yang Ji speechlessly. Although the suggestions Yang Ji proposed were useful, they were not what he wanted.

"Okay, since you are not satisfied with the suggestion just now, then how about trying to accept the thoughts surging from the depths of your heart, or destroy them?" Yang Ji still meant that, either try to accept it, or destroy it, once and for all.

"Isn't this the same as the suggestion just now?" It's just a different way of saying it. Liu Bei couldn't help but complain.

But, for some reason, Liu Bei suddenly felt that this was the advice he wanted.

Yang Ji didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Bei. He had already given his advice, and it was up to Liu Bei to decide what to do next. No matter what Liu Bei's idea was, he would just support it without thinking.

After all, what outrageous decision could Liu Bei make?

Even though Yang Ji is now teasing Liu Bei that his moral level is a bit low and needs to be raised.

However, in terms of Liu Bei's moral level, in this era, except for those truly moral people, there is really no one who can match Liu Bei's level.

Facing Yang Ji's gaze, Liu Bei was silent for a long time and still did not give Yang Ji an accurate answer. He needed to think carefully about this matter.

"By the way, why are you guys going to Xuzhou with me?" Yang Ji glanced at Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Cao Ren and Le Jin.

"Don't ask me. If you want to ask, go ask that guy Chen Zichuan. It was he who asked us to follow you." Cao Cao said unhappily. He didn't want to follow Yang Ji to Xuzhou. What he wanted to go to most was Yanzhou, to fight side by side with Guan Yu, even if it was just to take orders from Guan Yu.

But, Chen Xi seemed to have a grudge against him. Even if he dragged Liu Bei to plead for mercy, that guy just said "This is an order", leaving Cao Cao at a loss as to what to say. After all, Chen Xi said it was an order, so could Cao Cao disobey?
The key point is, not only was he not allowed to go to Xuzhou, but Chen Xi actually asked him to take Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and Chen Qun with him, leaving Xun Yu and Xun You alone in Fenggao.

The meaning was very clear. In addition to tormenting Cao Cao, Chen Xi also wanted to torment Xun Yu. After all, Xun Yu was currently trapped in the confusion of mental shock and was the easiest to bully.

"What's going on with that guy Chen Zichuan? Isn't he trying to cause trouble by putting you in here?" Yang Ji was very dissatisfied with Chen Xi's behavior of arbitrarily placing people in this position.

Although he knew that Chen Xi was worried that he could not defeat Zhou Yu, he brought in Boss Cao and a few others as insurance.

But does Yang Ji need this? No, even if there is any conspiracy, the army can just step on it and crush it, and slap Zhou Yu in the face. There is no need to use such troublesome means as calculating against each other.

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that." Xi Zhicai said with a look of surprise. Didn't Yang Ji just say that they were useless in the upcoming war with Zhou Yu?

"Well, I know you heard what I said. Then, what can you do?" Yang Ji turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai and chuckled.

Xi Zhicai choked, he really couldn't do anything to Yang Ji, he was his superior and he couldn't beat him. Besides, they might not be needed for advice on this trip to Xuzhou, by then Yang Ji would just lead the army to march over and that would be the end of it, there would be no need for any planning at all.

Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, and Chen Qun all sighed. Chen Xi was a man who could play tricks on people. Only Cheng Yu looked at Yang Ji with shining eyes. Yang Ji's attitude was exactly what he had always dreamed of.

"Zhongde, are you trying to learn Yang Ziyu's arrogant attitude?" Xi Zhicai turned his head and saw Cheng Yu with shining eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, if I had Zi Yu's strength, I would be even more arrogant than him." Cheng Yu nodded and acknowledged his thoughts.

"What's more, Zi Yu is less than 20 years old now. Isn't it normal for him to be arrogant?" Cheng Yu asked Xi Zhicai in return. Anyway, he thought it was normal for Yang Ji to be arrogant. It would be terrible if Yang Ji's personality was the same as those old guys.

Xi Zhicai was silent for a long time and could only say, "I have nothing to say." Now that things have come to this, what else can Xi Zhicai say?

Cheng Yu's words also reminded Xi Zhicai of one thing: the civil and military officials under Liu Bei were terribly young, especially Chen Xi and Yang Ji, the core of the civil and military forces. They were less than 20 years old, but they were ready to give all the heroes in the world a beating.

Cao Cao and Chen Qun also remained silent. Although they didn't want to admit what Cheng Yu said, the facts were there and they had no choice but to admit it.

"Zi Yu, how do you plan to fight after we arrive in Xuzhou?" After seeing Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, Cheng Yu turned to Yang Ji and asked.

"How to fight? Of course just run over him. So, what do you think?" Yang Ji said as a matter of course, and then asked Cheng Yu for his thoughts.

"Hehe, I do have some ideas." Cheng Yu laughed. He had ideas about the battlefield for a long time, but he had been restrained by the Government Affairs Office and could not go into battle. Now that he had the opportunity, of course he had to verify his ideas on the battlefield.

"The internal energy leaves the body." Yang Ji was a little surprised. Cheng Yu was really bold. He actually wanted to break through the internal energy leaving the body on the battlefield.
