Chapter 502

This Su Xuan is terrifying.

His mind is too clear, and he considers things too comprehensively.

It seems as if he had been preparing for everything today several years ago.

His long-term vision and sharp insight are heart-palpitating.

"As long as we don't give him enough time to develop and improve, wouldn't it be fine to unite many scholar-official clans to destroy him first?"

Chen Deng was still somewhat unwilling.

In his view, this world should be the world of the scholar-officials, not the world of those common people.

This Su Xuan is simply causing chaos in the world.

This person deserves to die.

"Ha! Easier said than done!"

Chen Gui looked at his still somewhat naive son and educated him: "Not to mention that Su Xuan currently commands over a hundred thousand troops and has not been defeated once since he debuted, and his military strength is among the best among the warlords in the world;"

"It is not that easy for other warlords to unite to deal with Su Xuan first!"

"Su Xuan is not Dong Zhuo; he has not yet truly aroused public anger;"

"In fact, in the eyes of many warlords, they are even hoping that Su Xuan will implement new policies!"

"In this way, Su Xuan will completely move to the opposite side of the scholar-official class, which is equivalent to cutting off his own future, and he will only continue to become weaker;"

"In the future, he will not be able to become a threat to them;"

"And their top priority is to expand their own territory and influence as much as possible; how could they run off to unite against Su Xuan?"

Not everyone attaches such importance to Su Xuan.

Moreover, Su Xuan's new policies are also a double-edged sword for Su Xuan himself.

There are pros and cons.

Naturally, the warlords will not run off to unite against Su Xuan because of such things.

Unless one day Su Xuan becomes the number one warlord in the world relying on his new policies and seriously threatens the interests and safety of other warlords, they will only truly attach importance to it.

It is only the beginning of the chaotic times, and all the warlords are still busy grabbing territory and expanding their own influence.

There are still many blank territories or relatively weak warlords in the world, so they naturally won't think about running off to target the strongest Su Xuan at this time.

That is purely thankless work.

"Then is there no way to solve Su Xuan in advance?"

Chen Deng said with an unwilling expression.

Chen Deng is extremely hostile to such warlords who target their scholar-official class.

Chen Gui shook his head helplessly upon hearing this and pointed at Chen Deng: "When did you become so stubborn, kid?"

"Why must you choose to target and deal with Su Xuan?"

"Eh?"

Chen Deng was stunned upon hearing this and looked at his father in confusion: "Father, what are you talking about? Why I target Su Xuan, don't you know?"

"His new policies are clearly aimed at our scholar-official class and damage our interests, so why shouldn't I target him?"

"Do we really have to wait until he occupies Xuzhou, or even unifies the world, and deprives our Chen clan of a large amount of deserved interests, before thinking about resisting?"

Is his father sure he isn't senile?

How could he suddenly say such things?

"Sigh! You!"

Chen Gui shook his head speechlessly: "I naturally know your thoughts!"

"Do you think you are smarter than Xun Shuang, Xun You, Cai Feng, and Pang Degong?"

"Don't they know that the new policies damage the interests of the scholar-official class?"

"Then why did they choose to defect to Su Xuan and work for him?"

"And, you say that Su Xuan's new policies will deprive us of the interests we deserve; are you really sure that those are what we deserve?"

What is deserved?

Everything not prohibited by law is permissible?

Or find ways to invent names and engage in extortion?

These are all things that the scholar-official clans are doing.

Why did Su Xuan implement new policies?

It is because he saw the corruption and drawbacks in this.

He saw the root of the chaos in the world, so he chose to implement new policies, wanting to change this decaying world.

Let this world regain its vitality.

On this point, Chen Gui is not hostile to Su Xuan at all; on the contrary, he admires him very much.

Of course, when it comes to fighting for family interests, he won't be soft-hearted either.

Even if he is an enemy of Su Xuan, it is no exception.

But Chen Gui vaguely feels that as long as Su Xuan proceeds step by step and is not defeated in advance, his future achievements will be terrifyingly limitless.

The possibility of him taking the world is not small.

Therefore, he is not prepared to fight Su Xuan to the death.

He cannot let the Chen clan offend Su Xuan to death.

He must leave room for maneuver and leave a way out.

Why can the scholar-official clans be passed down continuously, including those that have existed for hundreds of years or even longer?

Isn't it because everyone is sensible and knows how to share risks and avoid harm?

If you go too far in everything, your luck will run out early.

Things cannot be done to the extreme.

"This..."

Chen Deng was stunned upon hearing his father's words, then frowned: "I roughly understand your thoughts, Father! You want to leave a way out for our Chen clan, so you don't want to offend Su Xuan to death?"

"Not bad! You finally turned the corner."

Chen Gui nodded with satisfaction: "That's exactly how it is!"

"The new policies seem to be damaging the interests of the scholar-official class, but in reality, they were not originally the interests of the scholar-official class to begin with;"

"They are rights and interests that the scholar-official class has seized step by step, inventing names step by step;"
