It is precisely because of this viewpoint that many ethnic minorities and foreign countries dare to make a move against the Central Plains when they are strong, because they know that it is naturally best to fight, and if they can't fight, they only need to admit their mistakes, and they can't do anything to themselves anyway.

Once such a view is formed, it is terrible, and this is one of the main reasons why the history of Greater China has been so full of disasters.

If Zhang Chao hadn't been reborn, maybe he would have just built a strong dynasty, and maybe he would have implemented a policy of tolerance towards some surrounding foreign countries. After all, existence is the truth, even if people can survive until now, there is obviously some background, how easy is it to eliminate?

But the problem is that Zhang Chao is a person from the past, he has seen too many things like this, and he firmly believes that it is indeed the saying that the strong are respected. He relied on the saying that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and he relied on the saying that whoever has the big fist is the truth.

If you don't accept it, then I'll beat you until you accept it.

If you are still not convinced, then fight until you disappear, and fight until your clan is destroyed.

Although this approach is a bit cruel, it has to be said that it is indeed the best way to solve the problem. You know, as long as you have land and resources, you don't have to worry about the population, you don't have to worry about the people being wiped out one day, and you don't have to think about the population will decrease, as long as there are enough resources, the population is not a problem at all.

Zhang Chao thinks exactly like this, so no matter what opponent he is facing, what he has to do is to make a move without making a move, and making a move is terrifying. is like subduing Sanhan, Goryeo, Buyeo, and Rulou, and severely hitting Xianbei and Xianbei, etc., all of which fully show that Zhang Chaofei thinks like this, and still does it.

And it turns out that this is indeed the best way to solve the problem. Just like the current Sanhan, because of the earliest occupation and the implementation of the neutralization policy, the Han people there are no less than the natives, and the current Sanhan has been gradually assimilated by the Celestial Empire in just a dozen years. It is conceivable that a hundred years from now, I am afraid that few people there will remember that they are not the affairs of the Celestial Empire.

Having said this, Zhang Chao looked at Cao Cao calmly and said, "Brother Meng De, my ideal is to build a strong country and carry it forward. And for this goal, anyone who stands in my way will become my enemy, and I will destroy them one by one, and even exterminate the alien race. Although this is a bit too cruel, it is a fundamental solution compared to the original kind of solution. Otherwise, it seems that everyone is living in peace now, but they have different thoughts, and one day, the war will start again, and at that time, there will only be more deaths, and society will regress because of the war. ”

"Is this a long pain rather than a short pain?" Cao Cao was so smart that he quickly understood what Zhang Chao meant.

"Not bad. Exactly! And when that day really comes, we Celestial Empire people will naturally be high, and at that time, no matter where our people go, they will be respected by others, and no matter where they go, their dignity will be preserved. All this is because there is a strong country behind them to support them. They will not allow their people to be wronged and wronged, and only in this way can our Greater China forever stand tall in the forest of the world without falling. ”

This result is exactly what Zhang Chao has been pursuing. He thought of a Western country before he was reborn, and they were so powerful that people who came out of this country held their chests high and held their heads high wherever they went. Even when their lives and property are threatened, some countries prefer to lose some of their own lives in order to preserve the safety of their citizens. Think about it, what a sense of pride does that give? And what Zhang Chao thinks is that his people also have such thoughts, and even go over it.

Zhang Chao also thought that when the people of his country traveled in the future, he would have to apply for a certificate for them, which was an object that represented and symbolized the Celestial Empire. As long as you rely on this thing, if someone still wants to bully you, it is to be an enemy of the entire Celestial Empire, which is equivalent to giving him an excuse to go to war again. At that time, he not only wanted to make the Celestial Empire strong, but also let all the people of the Celestial Empire enjoy this glory and feel the supreme dignity that no amount of money could buy.

Zhang Chao was a little excited at this moment. He rarely talks about such ideals with others, not because others can't understand them, but because he doesn't have the strength to do so. But now, in front of Cao Cao, he really said it without scruples, because he knew that this person understood himself, and there was an important one that was that if he didn't talk about it now, he was afraid that Cao Mengde would not have the opportunity to hear it in the future.

Cao Cao thought that Zhang Chao was a person with great ambitions, but he still never thought that this person would be so ambitious, his idea was to make China the center of the world and an existence admired by thousands of people.

Naturally, Cao Cao didn't know how big the world was at this time, but in his opinion, the Rus' in the Northeast and the countries in the Western Regions were already quite large. It's a pity that he himself is still happy that he has occupied the Central Plains, so it seems that the pattern between the two does not know how far apart.

Such an ideal is to listen to his ears, it is very exciting, and even Cao Cao wants to see if the Celestial Empire is really as powerful as Zhang Chao said. But this excitement only lasted for a short while, and he calmed down again, the person in front of him was his mortal enemy, no matter what the Celestial Empire would eventually become, it had nothing to do with him.

Cao Cao's face gradually calmed down from the flush just now, all of which was in Zhang Chao's eyes. He was sure that for a moment, this person was indeed tempted, so he said, "Brother Mengde..."

"Alright." Cao Cao raised his right arm at the right time and interrupted what Zhang Chao was about to say. Then he said with a very calm gaze: "Gu admitted, your dream is good, but I am now the King of Wei, and I have my own mission." Of course, if the Celestial Empire is willing to strike its troops, I can also make a guarantee, that is, it will not violate your borders, and I can also recognize the two states of Gon and Qing as the land of the Celestial Empire. If not, then the only way to do this is to raise an army. ”

Cao Cao naturally knew what Zhang Chao was going to say next, it was nothing more than a word to win over. However, he is the king of Wei, and he is very proud in his bones, that is, he would rather die in battle than surrender.

Knowing that it was useless to talk about it, Zhang Chao knew that today's negotiations were broken. He originally thought that after saying his goal, he might be able to move the other party, but now it seems that it has no effect, even so, he said very simply: "The Celestial Empire only has friends and opponents, and does not need the appearance of any third force. ”

What Cao Cao said was that in the future, Wei would not be in the Celestial Empire, and Zhang Chao would just listen to it. If he doesn't do it now, it's just because of his lack of strength, but if Cao Cao is given a chance to breathe, he believes that this person will definitely make a move to the Heavenly Empire. At that time, today's words will be forgotten in the back of the mind. Come to think of it, sometimes the commitments between countries are not counted, let alone the casual conversation between the two.

Zhang Chao also expressed his attitude, either he became a friend obediently, or he became an enemy under resistance, and he did not allow the emergence of a third situation. Cao Cao also knew that there was no need to talk about it between the two.

Almost unanimously, the two stood up one after another, and after looking at each other, they both turned around and led their horses away. From beginning to end, there was not a word.

The other party's millions of troops watched the two monarchs fight their horses and return at this moment, waiting for Zhang Chao and Cao Cao to return to the camp, the war drums sounded, and then each side came to the place where they were drinking just now, and stood against each other.

This is a good interpretation of the adage that if you can talk about it, you can talk about it, and if you can't talk about it, you will fight.

"I am Dian Wei Dianziman, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Celestial Empire."

"I am Xiahou Yuanrang, the general of Wei."

The two generals, who held halberds in one hand and drill-gun in the other, looked at each other and reported their identities, then waved their arms and made a move to meet the enemy.

Fighter.

This is a confrontation between the two armies, a general and a general, called a fighting general. It refers to the time when the two armies face each other, and one of the fierce generals in each army fights. In the "Essentials of Military Planning", it is said that "the two formations are standing, and each will fight, which is called a challenge." This is the definition of a battle general.

However, in the era of cold weapons, victory or defeat on the battlefield mainly depends on the combat effectiveness of the army and the command ability of the generals, rather than on the "courage of the commanders".

But having said that, one of the most important points in the formation of combat effectiveness is morale, and the result of fighting can definitely affect the soldiers of an army, so as to determine the final outcome of a war.

Whether it is the Celestial Empire or the Wei State, they all boast of being a powerful country, and now they are fighting generals, which also shows their self-confidence. They all want to unite the morale of their troops in this way, so as to gain the initiative on the battlefield.

Because of the death of his brother Xiahou Yuan, Xiahoudun naturally has a great hatred for the Celestial Empire, and now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, he will naturally not let it go.

It's just that the only regret is that Xiahou Yuan died in the hands of Lu Bu, and this person is not in the Celestial Empire army now. It's just that then again, if Lu Fengxian is here, whether he can have the courage to come out and fight the generals is a matter of two words.

As far as the Celestial Empire is concerned, although Lu Bu is not there, the fierce generals are still like clouds, not to mention that Zhang Chao's chief of guard Xu Chu is a fierce general, as well as General Wen Chou of the First Legion, Dian Wei and Yan Liang of the Sixth Legion, and Zhang Liao and Pang De of the Seventh Legion. These people all have the courage to be unsuitable.

With these people here, Zhang Chao is certainly not afraid of any fighting generals. It's just that after seeing Xiahoudun make a move, Zhang Chao still cautiously sent Dian Wei.
