When it comes to pondering people's hearts, playing tricks, scheming, and a series of tricks, who can compare to the poisonous scholar Jia Xu?
Although due to his submission to Liu Zhang, he lost the opportunity to let the world remember his vicious plan.
But as a time traveler, Liu Zhang never had any doubts about Jia Xu's ruthlessness.
Jia Xu had never let Liu Zhang down before.
This time, Liu Zhang still firmly believed in Jia Xu.
"Haha, Duke Qin really embarrasses this old minister..."
Jia Xu really didn't know whether he should cry or laugh when his master thought so.
In other words, they have been together for too long, otherwise Jia Xu’s character would probably have a sense of crisis!
"Wen He, you can't be humble!"
"If you don't help Gu Ke in this matter, then Gu Ke will really be helpless!"
In fact, while Xu Shu was talking, Liu Zhang was also constantly observing Xun You and the others.
As a result, Jia Xu's reaction was completely different from that of Xun You and Liu Ye.
Liu Zhang also saw the conspiracy in Jia Xu's eyes at this time.
"Since Qin Gong values the old minister so much, then the old minister can only show his embarrassment..."
Xu Shu didn't expect that Jia Xu really had a solution. He was surprised and quickly pricked up his ears, ready to learn humbly.
Xun You and Liu Ye were different, both of them were holding back their laughter.
And began to sympathize with Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart!
Both of them knew that if Jia Xu, an old fox, took action, it would be extraordinary.
Amid everyone's expectations, Jia Xu finally spoke.
"In troubled times, all the heroes have risen together. Apart from the clan members, they want nothing more than to steal the artifact!"
"The Duke of Qin is an orthodox clan member of the Han Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with claiming the title of Duke and founding the country or inheriting the throne in the future!"
"But Cao Cao is different. He is a eunuch and has a low status."
"When Cao Cao started his army, in order to gain recognition from the family, he had to be controlled by the Yingchuan family."
"Now that we have eliminated Yuan Shao and gained all the land in Hebei, do we still need to be willing to be controlled by the Yingchuan family?"
"Therefore, I feel that the temptation that Cao Cao cannot refuse is fame and nobility!"
After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Liu Zhang was the first to react.
This time, his speed of enlightenment was even faster than that of Xun You and others!
"Wen He means the position of Duke!"
Jia Xu nodded, but looked at Xun You beside him.
His strategy is bound to plan the conflict between the Yingchuan family and Cao Cao.
So the first one to bear the brunt is the Xun family where Xun You lives.
"After Yuan Shao is eliminated, the noble families in Hebei will naturally flock to Cao Cao's command like the Cui family in Qinghe!"
"The Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Wang family of Langya, etc., are as powerful as the Xun, Zhong, Chen and Han of the Yingchuan family. How can they be willing to be inferior to the Yingchuan family?"
"But if new power wants to rise, there is only one way!"
"Improve Cao Cao's status, and even help Cao Cao completely get rid of the control of the Yingchuan family!"
As expected, after these words, Xun You's eyes were inexplicably lost.
No matter what, the Xun family is still the root of Xun You.
If the Xun family declines one day, Xun You will have an unshirkable responsibility!
"Gongda, in troubled times, many things cannot go as expected."
"If you have any grievances about this matter, blame Gu, don't blame Wenhe..."
Liu Zhang was thoughtful and understood what Xun You meant the moment he looked at Jia Xu.
Especially after seeing Xun You's appearance, he immediately took the responsibility on himself.
"Mr. Qin's words are serious!"
Xun You sighed softly, feeling more helpless than blaming.
"Cao Cao has great talent and great strategy, and this abnormal relationship with the Xun family will break down sooner or later. This is also doomed from the beginning."
"Jia Shangshu's plan is just to advance the time."
"Even if we leave it alone, I'm afraid Xun Wenruo won't have a good life for long..."
What Xun Yu wanted was to restore the Han system, help Cao Cao unify the world, and return power to the emperor.
How is this possible?
After the powerful officials returned their rights, which one ended up well?
Xun You understands it, Jia Xu understands it, Liu Zhang understands it, and even every wise man can understand it.
Only Xun Yu couldn't see through it, so he went against Cao Cao!
"Gongda, your Xun family will definitely suffer heavy losses from Cao Cao in the hands of Xun Yu."
"But don't worry, when Gu destroys Cao Cao, I will definitely help you make the Xun family rise again!"
Liu Zhang had already said this, so Xun You had to express his position anyway, and immediately looked at Jia Xu firmly.
"Brother Wenhe, just say it, I will definitely support you!"
Jia Xu received Xun You's support, and the doubts in his heart were completely eliminated.
"Mr. Qin, the Hebei clan has just surrendered, so they certainly don't dare to immediately conflict with the elders headed by the Yingchuan clan. What we need to do is to create opportunities for conflict for them!"
Liu Zhang immediately understood the significance of this conflict.
"Does Wen He want Gu Zai to send an envoy to the capital to prepare a letter to the emperor and ask for the dukedom for Cao Cao again?"
Only a duke, who transcended the realm of human ministers, could arouse Xun Yu's fierce resistance.
As a newly joined faction, the Hebei clan will naturally support Cao Cao unconditionally and pray for the greatest benefits.
And because Cao Cao had the support of the noble families in Hebei, he would not respond to Xun Yu's opposition!
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Qin, the Duke has already appeared. The court is not very sensitive to this title."
"If you want to do it, do it to the extreme, so that your majesty can make Cao Cao king!"
"And request your Majesty to seal Cao Cao's fiefdom in Hebei, so that he can completely separate from the Yingchuan family!"
After hearing this, Xu Shu's eyes were full of horror and he couldn't help but take a breath.
This Jia Xu is so cruel!
Cao Cao becoming king in Hebei is tantamount to killing the donkey!
He used the power of the Yingchuan clan to defeat Yuan Shao, but after occupying Hebei, he kicked the Yingchuan clan away?
Xu Shu couldn't even imagine how chaotic Cao Cao's internal affairs would be once it came to this point!
No wonder Liu Zhang went to Jingzhou without a military advisor. With Liu Bei's strength, there was no need for too many conspiracies!
"Wen He, this Cao Cao is not a fool. How can he not understand the consequences of doing this?"
Liu Zhang knew that history was going the same way, but the time was wrong!
Historically, Cao Cao unified the north in 207 AD, but he did not dare to take the step of proclaiming himself king until 212 AD.
This is enough to show how powerful the internal obstacles are!
Liu Zhang had to wonder, at this time, did Cao Cao really dare?
Jia Xu smiled, his face full of confidence.
"Cao Cao once said, 'I would rather betray others than others betray me'!"
"Since the failure of calling Wei Gong the last time, doesn't Cao Cao want to get rid of the constraints of the family headed by Xun Yu?"
"What we need to do is to help Cao Cao open up the situation, and others will do the rest for us!"
Liu Zhang nodded, but there was still one thing missing.
"Wenhe, what's the reason? What excuse do we use to send envoys to the court?"
If there is no very appropriate reason, it will appear too deliberate.
The more people are caught off guard, the easier it is to succeed!
At this moment, a huge sound of surprise came from outside the hall.
"Mr. Qin! Good news, good news!"
The soldier rolled and crawled all the way, and when he knelt down in front of Liu Zhang, the look of surprise was still lingering on his face.
"Qin Gong, great victory in the Western Region!"
