"Okay, okay! Yuan Zhi is really a great talent!"
Liu Zhang slapped the table and clapped his hands, not shying away from his praise.
The problem that originally seemed to be a thorny issue for both the monarch and his ministers was unexpectedly solved by Xu Shu so easily.
Between the two options of letting one's own side develop and letting the opponent regress, the latter is undoubtedly wiser.
Liu Zhang remembered very clearly that it took Cao Cao three years to recover to his pre-Chibi strength after experiencing the defeat in Chibi.
Three years, even if it is not enough to restore Guanzhong to its peak, is enough to make Qin's overall strength advance by leaps and bounds.
After Liu Zhang's three years of development, Cao Cao not only failed to develop, but also regressed for three years.
This one mile and one distance is equivalent to nine years!
It actually took one year longer than Liu Zhang expected!
No wonder Xu Shu was so obsessed with immediately provoking a fight between Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.
For Cao Cao, this is simply a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy that cannot resist decline!
"Yuanzhi, Gu is really lucky! Fortunately, the big-eared thief doesn't know talents, so Gu has the opportunity to get your help!"
Liu Zhang's words came from the bottom of his heart.
After this incident, he clearly felt that Xu Shu's talents were probably more than what was recorded in these few words!
No wonder Zhuge Liang sighed like this in history when he learned that Xu Shu was not being reused.
"Qin Gong made such a ridiculous compliment, I really don't dare to take it seriously!"
It is the rarest thing to be virtuous and talented without relying on your talent to be superior to others!
When Liu Zhang saw this, he was even more fond of it, and in an instant, Xu Shu's height in his heart rose to the top.
"Gongda, Wenhe, Ziyang, what do you think?"
The three of Jia Xu looked at each other, and then smiled and congratulated Liu Zhang at the same time.
"Congratulations to Mr. Qin for recruiting a great talent again!"
Anyone who can be favored by Jia Xu, Xun You, and Liu Ye has extraordinary talent.
Now that he was praised by three people at the same time, Xu Shu's ability was even more confirmed.
"Yuan Zhi, today I will appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Yijun Army and join the Chinese Army!"
"The Chinese Army's military advisor, Lu Su, is currently in Liangzhou dealing with the Qiang issue. As a military advisor, you first go to help the rear general, Zhao Yun."
Xu Shu's spirit was shaken and he immediately bowed to the ground.
"I thank you, Duke Qin, for your kindness!"
Since his surrender, Xu Shu has been treated with great courtesy, but has not been assigned any duties.
This also made Xu Shu a little irritable.
I finally got the appointment today, and it can be said that I have reached the sky in one step!
He passed through the captaincy and school captainships and was directly promoted to Zhonglang General, or went to the Chinese Army as a military advisor.
This kind of exaggerated status is undoubtedly something Liu Bei will never be able to give!
"Yuanzhi, please get up!"
Liu Zhang personally leaned over and helped Xu Shu up.
If a reduced general wants to be appointed to a high position, even Liu Zhang cannot be too casual.
Today, I will take this opportunity to let Jia Xu and others see Xu Shu's talent, and also put an end to all doubts.
"Yuan Zhi, if Cao Cao goes south, where do you think a war will break out with Sun Quan?"
In history, it was the coalition of Sun and Liu, and in this era it is also the coalition of Sun and Liu.
It's just Jiangxia, Sun Quan's army from Chaisang and Liu Bei's army from Jingnan.
It should be impossible to replicate the Battle of Chibi.
But as Xu Shu pointed to a location on the map, Liu Zhang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Chibi?"
"Yes! It's Chibi!"
Xu Shu confidently confirmed Liu Zhang's question.
"Red Cliff, located at the strategic point of the waters between Wulin Port and Xiakou Port, must be the place where the war broke out."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh that the slap in the face came so quickly.
Just now, I thought that the Battle of Chibi would disappear, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed by Xu Shu so quickly.
"Yuan Zhi, if there is a battle in Chibi, it will probably be a battle between Sun Quan and Cao Cao. Without Liu Bei, nothing will happen, right?"
"What if Liu Bei stood by and watched?"
According to Liu Zhang's understanding, the main reason why the Sun and Liu families were able to win the historical Battle of Chibi was almost entirely due to Zhou Yu's personal ability.
In that case, whether Liu Bei's power or not does not seem to affect the outcome of the war.
But for Liu Zhang, it would be better to let Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan fight each other!
It would be best if Cao Cao is defeated and Liu Bei is completely destroyed!
This will also allow Liu Zhang to easily capture Jingzhou in the future.
Xu Shu naturally knew what Liu Zhang was thinking and immediately assured him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is not a fool, and he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it!"
"Once Sun Quan is defeated, Liu Bei will have to give up not only Nanjun, but also the four Jingnan counties and even his life!"
"How can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned? Liu Bei doesn't understand this truth, but Zhuge Liang will definitely understand it too!"
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Jia Xu and the others again.
It was found that these three people were also nodding slightly, obviously recognizing Xu Shu's words.
This time, Liu Zhang no longer had any doubts in his mind.
No wonder no one except Liu Bei thinks he has too many advisers!
Without Xu Shu, at least for now, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Liu Ye would have been stumped!
"Very good!"
"It's true that there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers!"
"I didn't expect that Gu was still lamenting the eight years lost for no reason. I didn't expect that Yuan Zhi would recall nine years for Gu in a flip of his hands!"
"Okay, great!"
After a burst of joy, Liu Zhang felt hopeful in his heart.
Historically, Cao Cao cried after his defeat in Chibi and said, "If Fengxiao was here, I would never have suffered such a big loss."
Guo Jia's premature death also made everyone wonder what the outcome of the Battle of Chibi with Guo Jia would be?
This is just great! What kind of sparks will the ghost genius Guo Jia and Crouching Dragon Zhuge Liang, Meizhou Lang Zhou Yu and Lu Xun Lu Boyan who are just in their prime years collide with?
Finally got a chance to see it for myself!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't wait even more.
"Yuan Zhi, do you have any clever ideas to help Cao Cao go south to Jingzhou?"
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in embarrassment.
"Forgive me, Duke Qin, but I just didn't think this through."
"Cao Cao has many capable and wise men around him. There must be a sufficient and high-sounding reason."
"A Cao Cao knew it was a trap, but couldn't refuse the temptation to jump into the trap..."
Marching to fight and leading the three armies to fight against the enemy, Xu Shu had full confidence.
But if it's playing tricks, this is not Xu Shu's strong point.
Just like Liu Zhang's conspiracy for Xu Shu.
I can't see through it, and I can't crack it, so I can only follow it down until I catch it myself.
Liu Zhang understood this quite well and had no dissatisfaction.
There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the art!
One person cannot cover everything.
If a person can do anything, then why should he surrender to others?
"It doesn't matter, Yuan Zhi can come up with a strategy, which is already a great achievement!"
"As for digging a hole and making Cao Cao jump down willingly, I already have a plan in mind!"
After saying that, Liu Zhangtian looked at Jia Xu shamelessly, and then raised his eyebrows.
"Really? Wenhe!"
