Liu Zhang suddenly realized what Xun You meant.
At the beginning of the recruitment of Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao only occupied Yanzhou.
The world is at a time when it is falling apart.
Cao Cao first led the Qingzhou soldiers to compete with Yuan Shu for Yuzhou, then led the Qingzhou soldiers to compete with Tao Qian for Xuzhou, and with Lu Bu for Yanzhou.
Then Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Cao Cao led the Qingzhou soldiers to attack!
Lu Bu was eliminated, Liu Bei was expelled, Guandu, and Cangting defeated Yuan's army, including the final elimination of Yuan Shao, and the complete capture of Hebei.
This is all the result of the Qingzhou soldiers.
Without the Qingzhou soldiers, where would the King of Wei be today?
On the other hand, without the Qingzhou soldiers, what else would the King of Wei have?
Cao Cao had time, population, soldiers, everything.
Only there is no opponent for him to train elite soldiers.
From now on, it will be either Qin or Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong.
A little carelessness could lead to disaster. Where would there be a chance for Cao Cao to train his troops?
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look at Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, what do you think?"
Jia Xu saw through Liu Zhang's thoughts at a glance.
"King Qin, I very much agree with Lord Xun's point of view! It's just..."
"Just what?"
Liu Zhang was originally very excited. After all, Jia Xu and Xun You agreed, so there was almost no problem.
Unexpectedly, there was another one.
"King Qin, Cao Cao has no way to train his troops in actual combat. In fact, we in Qin don't have any either."
"The competition in the future will be the training abilities of the generals on both sides."
Liu Zhang nodded in agreement, but was not too frustrated.
Unlike Cao's army, the elite soldiers and horses of the Qin army who originally belonged to each battalion still have an organizational structure.
Cao's army was composed entirely of new soldiers, while Qin's army was led by veterans.
"It doesn't matter! We only have Dawan horses for land battles, and we only have ships for water battles. They are enough to not fear anyone!"
Liu Zhang always had an idea in his mind. As long as Cao Cao's problem is solved, Sun Quan and Liu Bei will not be a problem!
Neither Jia Xu nor Xun You commented on Liu Zhang's arrogant words, but judging from the smiles in their eyes, they both revealed their implicit agreement.
No one in the Qin State regarded Sun Quan and Liu Bei as human beings!
"Ahem... King Qin, I have an immature idea and I don't know whether to talk about it..."
At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly stood up and was extremely shy.
Liu Zhang glanced at Xu Shu strangely.
This was the first time I heard this kind of tone and tangled attitude.
"Yuanzhi, there are no outsiders here, just speak up!"
He already had preconceived notions about historical figures, and Xu Shu personally contributed to Cao Cao's southern expedition.
Liu Zhang and his subordinates all regarded Xu Shu with special eyes.
And at the same time, Xu Shu was regarded as the top wise man.
Jia Xu and Xun You looked curious at the same time and looked at Xu Shu.
The look in his eyes seemed to be waiting for the surprise that Xu Shu was about to bring.
"The King of Qin, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei unite with each other to fight against Cao Cao. This is common sense."
"As the saying goes, two weak forces unite to resist a strong enemy. This is the unchanging norm since ancient times!"
"But! No one stipulates that powerful forces cannot unite..."
Xu Shu's words made Liu Zhang stunned, and then he asked softly.
"A strong alliance...what do you mean?"
"The King of Qin, the world is divided into four parts. In terms of territory and population, Cao Cao is the strongest, King of Qin is second, Sun Quan is barely behind with the people of Wu and Yue, and Liu Bei is the third!"
"Since Sun Quan and Liu Bei can join forces to fight against Cao Cao, why doesn't King Qin join forces with Cao Cao to destroy Sun Quan and Liu Bei together?"
Xu Shu's plan can be said to be a fantastic idea!
Liu Zhang fell into deep thought for a while.
According to Xu Shu's words, it is equivalent to Cao Pi leading his army to attack Sun Quan during the Battle of Yiling in history!
Countless experts once predicted that the Battle of Yiling was Cao Pi's only chance to unify the world, but it was a pity that he missed it due to his stubbornness.
Isn’t today’s Liu Zhang plus Cao Cao the same as Cao Pi plus Liu Bei in history?
Liu Bei plus Sun Quan happened to be the strength of the Wu Kingdom after Sun Quan captured Jingzhou in history!
In history, Cao Pi could take advantage of the Battle of Yiling to destroy Soochow, so why can't he join forces with Cao Cao to destroy the Sun and Liu coalition now?
For a moment, Liu Zhang's face flashed with joy.
"Yuan Zhi is really a great talent!"
"If our Qin army attacks Jingzhou and Cao Cao leads his army to attack Yangzhou, then the Sun and Liu families will not be able to care about each other and will have to fight independently!"
"Let's not talk about Jiang and Huai battlefields. At least Jingzhou can be conquered in one battle!"
Most of Liu Zhang's orders to the Eastern Army were actually directed at Sun Quan's Jiangdong Navy.
As for Jingzhou Liu Bei, he didn't take it seriously at all.
And all the planners of the Qin State agreed that as soon as the Eastern Army came out, Jingzhou would be unstoppable!
Surprised, Liu Zhang quickly frowned again.
Cao Cao's southern expedition seemed to be the result of Cao Cao's personal greed for success.
In fact, anyone with a little bit of intelligence will understand that Qin was behind it.
Things have developed to this point, no matter how slow Cao Cao reacts, he will definitely understand that all this is Liu Zhang and Xu Shu's conspiracy!
If Xu Shu hadn't been supporting the fire and deliberately guiding him, how could Cao Cao have been so reckless in sending his troops south?
The reason why no one mentioned this matter means that everyone is tacitly aware of it.
But if we want to work together again, is it possible?
I'm afraid that if Cao Cao agrees, it will be difficult for his subordinates and generals to agree.
At least Xiahou Dun couldn't agree to it first!
"Yuanzhi, Cao Cao...will you still join forces with us?"
In other words, they were all tricked by Liu Zhang and almost died and the country was destroyed!
How shameless Cao Cao was, yet he still chose to believe Liu Zhang!
In response, Xu Shu smiled confidently.
"The King of Qin may rest assured that I am willing to send Cao Cao as an envoy again and personally persuade him to form a Qin-Wei coalition!"
Liu Zhang was startled and waved his hand to refuse.
"No, no! Yuan Zhi, you must not go in person!"
What a joke, at this moment Cao Cao still hates Xu Shu for being crazy!
Without Xu Shu and his 300,000 troops, how could the military and political power of several states be given away in vain?
Everything is because Xu Shu went to Xuchang!
If Xu Shu went to Yecheng now, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!
Cao Cao was so angry that he was no longer allowed to cook food for Xu Shu?
"The King of Qin can rest assured that the two armies are fighting, but he still won't kill the envoy!"
"Today's Cao Cao is no longer the Ah Ma of the past. As the king of Wei, how could he kill the envoy in vain?"
"Furthermore, Cao Wei is currently weak and is extremely afraid of King Qin sending his troops to the east. If we go here, we will definitely be safe and sound!"
Xu Shu didn't feel nervous at all, nor did he show the slightest fear.
However, these self-confidences still could not reassure Liu Zhang.
"Yuanzhi, I can't let you take risks."
"We are not Cao Cao. Even if we face the Sun-Liu coalition, we still have an absolute advantage!"
"At worst, you have to pay more on the battlefield, and I can't let you take risks!"
Xu Shu's eyes were slightly red, and he was extremely moved.
Thinking of Liu Bei's ruthlessness at that time, it further highlighted the tallness of Liu Zhang.
"Even if I die, I will never be able to repay King Qin for his great kindness!"
After saying this, Xu Shu prostrated himself on the ground, apparently refusing to get up unless Liu Zhang agreed.
At this moment, a guard walked into the palace.
"Report to the King of Qin..."
