Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!
Xu Shu seemed to have a heavy face and said nothing.
In fact, it's all pretend.
If there was a conspiracy to promote Cao Cao's southern expedition last time, then this time, there was absolutely nothing that harmed Cao Cao's interests.
Even if a strong alliance confronts a weak alliance, prompting Cao Cao to target Sun Quan in Huainan, it will be beneficial to the Wei State without any harm!
Qin's unconditional support for Cao Cao in dealing with Liu Bei is much stronger than Cao Cao's own defense against enemies on both sides.
Xu Shu remained silent and looked dignified, just to arouse the emotions of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
After a stalemate, Xu Shu took the lead and sneered several times, breaking the silence.
"The King of Qin is benevolent and can't bear that the people of the Central Plains and Hebei will fall into war again! That's why he wants to lend a helping hand to help the newly defeated King of Wei tide over the difficulties."
"I didn't expect King Wei and Military Advisor Guo to think so of our Qin State!"
"In that case, there is no point in talking more! Xu Shu will say goodbye and return to Guanzhong to save King Wei from worrying!"
After saying this, Xu Shu and Guo Jia bowed their hands to Cao Cao and walked out without looking back.
"Mr. Xu, wait!"
Cao Cao did not dare to remain silent when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to block Xu Shu's way.
Liu Zhang wanted to help him, even if he killed Cao Cao, he wouldn't believe it.
But Xu Shu could never leave like this!
"Why, King Wei still wants Xu Shu to be buried with the soldiers of Wei?"
Xu Shu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his expression was extremely playful.
Speaking of being buried, there was no trace of fear on his face.
Seeing that Cao Cao had no reaction, he added a little willfully.
"If that's the case, please do it!"
Cao Cao was extremely embarrassed about this.
As the king of Wei, he was bullied by a little Xu Shu with words.
What a shame!
However, Xu Shu represents the Qin State, and hitting Xu Shu in the face is equivalent to hitting Liu Zhang in the face.
Cao Cao absolutely didn't dare, so he could only smile in response.
"Mr. Xu is serious!"
"Fengxiao was angry just now. Please don't blame Mr. Xu!"
Xu Shu put his hands behind his back and turned his head to the side.
Obviously, this apology was not understood.
In desperation, Cao Cao could only wink at Guo Jia frequently.
Not to mention anything else, at least the generals of Cao’s army must participate in the competition on the first day of June!
Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Xu Shu and handed over his hands to confess.
"Mr. Xu, I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu."
"If, as Mr. Xu said, Qin and Wei can work together and help each other, then I will do my best to help each other!"
"On the contrary, if..."
"No need!"
Xu Shu snorted coldly and interrupted Guo Jia unceremoniously.
"Commander Guo, you don't even look at the current situation! Is the current state of Wei worth King Qin's expense?"
"If the King of Qin was willing, Qin's 300,000-strong army would have invaded the Central Plains and Hebei in separate groups half a year ago!"
"Of course, if King Wei is willing, it won't take long to see King Qin's army of 300,000 in Yecheng!"
Threats, intimidation!
Xu Shu was just a surrendered general, but he was so bold and threatened that the two countries would go to war!
Cao Cao has been in control of the world for twenty years, but he has never suffered such humiliation!
At this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his anger continued to rise.
"Mr. Xu, do you know what you are talking about?"
A simple word threw the threat back to Xu Shu again.
It is true that Wei State was weak, but Qin State was also in the stage of recuperation.
Cao Cao was convinced that Liu Zhang would not start a war rashly.
It was precisely because of this confidence that he could not let a little Xu Shu scream in front of him.
Unfortunately, Xu Shu soon told Cao Cao the truth.
He dares!
"Didn't I tell you that if King Wei doesn't believe it, just wait here in Yecheng!"
"By the way, I forgot to tell King Wei."
"Before leaving, the King of Qin once told me personally that if the King of Wei is worth helping, then help him. If he is not worth it..."
"Haha...The King of Qin doesn't mind helping the King of Wei manage Wei!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was stunned.
Xu Shu's threat was different from Liu Zhang's threat.
The former can be regarded as fart!
Of course, the latter can also be regarded as farting, but its power can kill Cao Cao!
More importantly, Cao Cao didn't think Xu Shu was so bold and dared to break with Wei on behalf of Qin without permission.
Liu Zhang must have given personal instructions before leaving Chang'an.
Just when Cao Cao was losing ground and in a dilemma, Guo Jia stood in front of him.
"Mr. Xu, please calm down!"
"Isn't the King of Qin going to join forces with the King of Wei to fight against the enemy? Is it possible that if we fail to join forces, we will have to do something that hurts our relatives and makes our enemies happy?"
"The King of Wei failed in his southern expedition. Sun Quan and Liu Bei were extremely arrogant! I'm afraid this is not what King Qin wants to see, right?"
The reason why Guo Jia changed his attitude so quickly was to test what Xu Shu was here for.
In other words, I just want to test the bottom line of Qin Wang Liu Zhang.
Is it war or cooperation, or can we fight or make peace?
Xu Shu's attitude was so strong that Guo Jia had a general understanding in his heart.
Now set up a step for Xu Shu to step down, and he can control the subsequent negotiations.
As expected, Xu Shu nodded slightly and followed the donkey down the slope.
"The King of Qin has always praised Military Advisor Guo as a genius, and today he has truly lived up to his reputation!"
"Please also ask Military Advisor Guo to use his magical talents on the enemy, and don't do anything that hurts your loved ones and makes your enemies happy!"
After Cao Cao heard this, he was relieved.
Finally, there was no stalemate, nor did it reach an irreversible point.
He soon put on a kind smile.
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Hahaha! Mr. Xu, please take a seat!"
"please!"
Xu Shu agreed and the three of them sat down separately.
After some humility, Cao Cao took the lead in asking questions.
"Mr. Xu must have something important to do here, please tell the truth!"
"Gu and the King of Qin are like brothers, and Qin and Wei must advance and retreat together! As long as Gu can do it, I will never refuse!"
Cao Cao took the initiative to lower his profile and held Qin in high esteem, which immediately made Xu Shu extremely satisfied.
They immediately told each other.
"The King of Wei lost to Nanjun, which allowed the Big Ear Bandit and Sun Zhongmou to take advantage of the situation. The King of Qin deeply hates this!"
"The purpose of coming here is to consolidate the alliance between Qin and Wei."
"At the same time, let's agree on a time to raise troops together to avenge King Wei!"
After listening to Xu Shu's words, the smile on Cao Cao's face did not diminish, but he sneered in his heart.
Liu Zhang wants to avenge himself?
Even if Cao Cao was kicked in the head by a donkey, he would not believe it.
Isn't it just to share the pressure when we agree to send troops?
The moment Xu Shu opened his mouth, Cao Cao understood Liu Zhang's intention.
There is really no conspiracy.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao still couldn't agree.
"King Qin's kindness is so grateful to me!"
"It's just that the Wei State currently does not have enough troops to cooperate with King Qin in sending troops. I can only express my deep apologies..."
Xu Shu nodded slightly, with a look of understanding in his eyes.
"King Wei, don't worry. King Qin is well aware of King Wei's difficulties, so he didn't send troops immediately!"
"As long as the King of Wei and the King of Qin jointly raise their troops within five years!"
