It seems like a simple competition, but it is actually very expensive.
Not only does it require financial resources, but the manpower and energy involved are extremely exaggerated.
Why should such a divine horse be put out for the world to fight over?
Qin's internal digestion may not be enough for distribution.
If someone from other forces gets it by mistake, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Furthermore, which force does not have a few top generals?
If you send him there, you can get a thousand gold coins even if you close your eyes.
It’s true that Liu Zhang was wealthy, but why wouldn’t it be nice to keep tens of thousands of gold?
Do we have to support the enemy?
Guo Jia was astonishingly intelligent and could not understand the significance of this martial arts tournament to Qin.
There isn't even a shred of substantial benefit in sight.
As for what conspiracy there is, Guo Jia can't figure it out.
The most they can do is to catch all the brave generals in one fell swoop.
But did Liu Zhang really not care about his reputation?
If the sun sets on the west mountain of Qin, it will be destroyed.
Today, the Qin State is in a prosperous and unparalleled position.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the number one force in the world.
Guo Jia would never believe that Liu Zhang would dig his own grave.
He did something stupid that turned against all the forces and broke the trust of the whole world.
Xu Shu was not surprised at all by Guo Jia's question.
Once upon a time, he and Guo Jia had exactly the same doubts.
But Liu Zhang gave him the answer.
"Commander Guo, what King Qin means is that my great Han Dynasty established a country with force, and I should have a list of the top of my force that can convince the world!"
"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts! As long as there is a competition of martial arts, the winner will definitely be determined!"
"Taking this great opportunity for all forces in the world to stop fighting and recuperate, the King of Qin is willing to give out a huge reward and let the warriors of the world compete for the top position together!"
Xu Shu spoke so impassionedly that people couldn't help but feel excited.
Anyone who can leave his name on this list must be a world-famous hero!
However, this list did not tempt Guo Jia, who was a counselor.
On the contrary, Xu Shu's words did not completely convince Guo Jia.
It sounds exciting, but it has almost no practical meaning.
What's the use of ranking it?
Force can only affect the direction of the war, but does not determine the outcome of the war.
It can be said that Qin's efforts to reach the top list are completely out of proportion to the rewards he gets.
"Mr. Xu, this competition will cost a lot of money, right?"
Xu Shu nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, King Qin said he would spend millions of dollars!"
This number immediately made Guo Jia's eyes twitch.
Unless he is a fool, he would believe Xu Shu's nonsense.
But if you don’t have a million gold, I’m afraid you can’t escape with a hundred thousand gold!
"The Qin State is rich, how can it treat millions of gold as if it were nothing?"
"If the King of Qin spends millions of gold to develop the military and improve people's livelihood, the rewards will probably be far greater than the competition, right?"
Xu Shu nodded again, still not denying it at all.
"What Military Advisor Guo said is absolutely true, and I have also raised questions about it."
"But King Qin said it, this is a legend that has been passed down through the ages!"
"A hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years later, people in future generations will eventually praise King Qin's achievements because of this peak martial arts ranking!"
Xu Shu paused and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, King Qin said that he will send historians to record this martial arts tournament in detail."
"In addition, I will do my best to spread the word to the world!"
Guo Jia still had no reaction, but Cao Cao's eyes immediately became hot.
Cao Cao was a military commander, and he once had to fight in battle himself.
He understands the significance of this list very well.
The first place is the best general in the world!
The life of a military general is to fight hard to become a general and a marquis.
The purpose of worshiping a general and making him a marquis is to make his wife and son his wife.
But what about the generals themselves?
Who doesn’t want to leave a name in history?
Who doesn’t want to be praised in the future as the number one general in the Han Dynasty!
Cao Cao can only say that this list is of great significance!
"Fengxiao, if there was a list of the strongest counselors in the world, would you like to be at the top?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia suddenly trembled.
Cao Cao's words instantly awakened him.
Claiming to be the best in the world and being recognized as the best in the world are completely different things!
Just imagine, Guo Jia is walking on the road, and everyone points and says that he is the wisest man in the world. How about it?
In an instant, Guo Jia completely understood the meaning of this list.
"King Qin is so powerful!"
Xu Shu shook his head slightly, and did not accept Guo Jia's praise, but looked at Cao Cao with some admiration.
"King Wei is worthy of being a king of his generation. He can understand King Qin's intentions so clearly!"
"Xu Shu admires you!"
At least for the Peak Ranking, Xu Shu understood it far less quickly than Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was not complacent because of the praise. His eyes flashed with admiration but were still full of shock.
He understood the meaning of Liu Zhang's actions very well.
If a civilian can stand out and be at the top of the list.
I would like to ask which king of the power would not rush to get him?
But everything benefited from Qin Wang Liu Zhang, so he would give priority to Qin if he stood out.
This martial arts tournament seems to be just a competition, but it is actually for Qin to recruit talents from all over the world!
"After the success of King Qin's martial arts competition, will he continue to hold a competition for literary talent?"
After Cao Cao asked the question, his spirit became tense.
If Liu Zhang can win over the world's most powerful generals through a martial arts contest, will Liu Zhang win over the world's wise men through a literary fight?
"Won't!"
Xu Shu didn't hesitate and answered Cao Cao directly.
"The King of Qin said that civility is not the first, and military power is not the second. There is no way to judge the outcome of civil fighting, so it is not considered."
After getting the answer, Cao Cao had a look of pity in his eyes.
Yes, in fact, Cao Cao wanted Liu Zhang to do this.
The reason is also very simple.
Different from literati, common people can also have strong martial arts masters, and the probability is much stronger than those of noble families!
After all, just based on the base number, the number of civilians is also larger.
And the common people don't have so many worries. As long as they are reused by Liu Zhang, they will most likely be grateful for Qin's kindness and stay.
But literati are different!
Ordinary people don't even know the words, how can there be wise people?
Literati can only appear among noble families and powerful people.
With the ties of family, even if you start from a humble beginning, you will give priority to returning to your hometown.
If Liu Zhang was willing to spend money to hold a literary fight, then Cao Cao would definitely encourage his talents to participate.
Cao Cao occupies the land of seven states in the world, and there are many more talented people who have not been discovered!
To change from the undiscovered state to the excavated state, the amount of money required is immeasurable!
Cao Cao naturally wanted to reap the benefits without spending a penny!
It's a pity that Xu Shu announced so quickly and decisively that it would not be held.
It shows that Liu Zhang has already seen this problem.
In this regard, Cao Cao could only show regret.
"That's such a pity. I originally wanted to meet the wisest person in the world!"
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and showed a meaningful smile.
"King Wei, you don't have to be like this, I have a way!"
"It's better to wait until King Qin's martial arts competition ends and King Wei will take the lead to hold a literati conference!"
"At that time, I will definitely persuade King Qin to respond with all his strength!"
