"General Xiahou, please introduce to me the powerful generals under the command of King Wei!"
Regarding the ten-man team sent by Cao Cao, Liu Zhang was only curious and had absolutely no contempt.
Cao Wei, led by Cao Cao, is definitely not someone to be underestimated.
There are thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao owns seven of them!
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains and Hebei were the most fertile and densely populated areas.
It is a pity that after years of war, many people living in the Central Plains, Hebei and other places died.
Even so, the Central Plains and Hebei are still the best in the world.
Only Yizhou, which Liu Zhang spent so much effort to build, can compare with it.
But from a long-term perspective, no matter how Yizhou develops, it can only suppress the Central Plains and Hebei for a period of time.
After a long period of development, Yizhou will definitely fall into a disadvantageous position.
This is a problem of the potential of states and counties, which is far beyond what manpower can make up for.
Looking around, Yizhou is covered by mountains and rivers, and only the Chengdu Plain and Hanzhong Plain are areas truly suitable for reclamation.
Although food can be grown in other areas, due to geological characteristics, it will never be a unique granary.
On the other hand, looking at the Central Plains, Hebei and other places, all we can see are vast plains.
Especially the Central Plains, there are natural food-producing holy lands everywhere.
In terms of population, it is actually far more than tens of millions.
Cao Cao lost control of his huge land and population because of his defeat in Nanjun.
In real terms, the total number of people living in Central Plains and Hebei is more than 20 million!
It can be said that no matter what aspect is considered, without starting a war.
The most powerful force in the world today is still Cao Cao.
The main reason why Liu Zhang was able to suppress Cao Cao without any suspense was due to Qin's current military deterrence.
All the elites of Cao and Wei were killed and wounded, and all the elites of Qin were ready to attack.
However, everyone knows that if Cao Cao is given a few years to breathe, the situation will inevitably change.
With the power of the Seven States, Cao Cao regained his position as the world's hegemon with ease.
Qin Wang Liu Zhang himself was convinced of this.
From beginning to end, Liu Zhang never looked down upon Cao Cao.
Even after Cao Cao experienced the disastrous defeat in Nanjun, Liu Zhang did not underestimate the enemy.
There was no thought of seizing the opportunity to march eastward.
At first it seemed that Cao Cao was besieged on all sides and was almost completely destroyed.
In fact, Liu Zhang knew very well that these were just appearances.
Without the threat of external forces, the huge families in the Central Plains and Hebei would fight against Cao Cao.
Once a foreign enemy invades, they will immediately attack the outside world in unison.
How can it be so easy to eliminate the aristocratic families in each state who occupy the geographical location, people and people of each state.
From the perspective of outsiders, Qin's four major military regions are full of elite soldiers.
But what the real situation is, only Qin Wang Liu Zhang knows best.
He has been training for more than two years and has never been on the battlefield. Can he be considered an elite?
Perhaps compared to newly recruited soldiers, these are elite soldiers.
However, it is difficult for elite soldiers of this level to ensure their outstanding performance on the battlefield.
Therefore, Liu Zhang knew very well that Qin's elite troops were very useful for deterrence.
But if a war breaks out and is dragged onto the battlefield, everything will become unknown.
Once a war starts, it will not be as effective as it should be, and the majesty of the Qin State and the King of Qin will plummet.
Trying to coerce Cao Cao into forming an alliance and coercing him to go south together is just a dream.
The number and eliteness of soldiers are used to deter the enemy.
Let Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan not see the true strength of Qin.
But this is not enough!
That's why this martial arts tournament came about.
Show the true strength of Qin's generals in front of all generals from all forces.
With absolute strength, Qin's military generals reached the pinnacle of the world's military generals.
After that, combined with the reputation of Qin's elite soldiers and horses, it completely deterred other forces.
This is also the deeper reason why Liu Zhang held the martial arts competition.
Liu Zhang must learn about every general who comes here in detail.
To ensure the final result of the martial arts tournament, Qin can win with a crushing attitude.
Whether it's Liu Bei, Sun Quan, or Cao Cao.
Especially Cao Cao.
It occupies seven states including the Central Plains and Hebei, and has a population of tens of millions under its command.
Liu Zhang could not and did not dare to look down upon him.
At this moment, Xiahou Dun finally spoke.
"I obey!"
The word "fierce general" made Xiahou Dun feel extremely comfortable.
Then he patted his chest suddenly and put his other hand on his younger brother Xia Houyuan's shoulder.
"King Qin, I am Xiahou Dun, and this is my younger brother Xiahou Yuan."
Liu Zhang looked calm and did not have any words of praise.
He knew these two people very well. I have also seen the strength.
Liu Zhang saw the whole process of Xia Houyuan being repelled by Zhang Fei just now.
Overall, I am a bit disappointed with the title of 'Tiger Steps Off the Right'.
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that Liu Zhang was unmoved.
He was the first to introduce himself, but King Qin didn't even raise his eyelids.
Obviously he didn't take Brother Xiahou seriously!
Xiahou Dun couldn't stay silent and walked directly to Xu Chu.
"King Qin, this is Xu Chu, the general under King Wei."
"General Xu's bravery has few rivals in the world! He once tore apart a tiger with his own hands and was given the title of Tiger Marquis by the King of Wei!"
After saying this, Xiahou Dun walked directly towards the other person without stopping.
The introduction was very concise and the departure was very quick.
The reason is also very simple, I am afraid of losing personal face!
Liu Zhang regarded the Xiahou brothers as if they were nothing. If he became interested in Xu Chu, where would Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan put their faces?
Unfortunately, it backfired!
Just as Xiahou Dun moved away, he heard a sound coming from the front.
"Hmph, Tiger Marquis? Tear the tiger apart with your hands?"
Fortunately, it was a sneer full of disdain!
Although Xiahou Dun's footsteps stopped in place, there was no embarrassment.
This is not praise and appreciation, but full of contemptuous questioning.
When Xu Chu heard this, it was naturally understood as a provocation.
Xu Chu would not let anyone's provocation go unchecked.
Immediately issued a question.
"Yes, I wonder if you have any advice?"
Xu Chu was extremely restrained and did not get angry just because of a word.
On the one hand, the provocative person stands beside Liu Zhang, representing Liu Zhang to a certain extent.
On the other hand, the appearance of the provocative person really made Xu Chu dare not underestimate the enemy.
He is more than nine feet tall, has broad shoulders and a round waist, and is so strong that it is difficult to describe in words!
Wearing armor, it looks like an iron tower!
This man is none other than the right general Dian Wei, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards of Qin.
He also has the record of killing tigers!
Moreover, Dian Wei is also famous for his foot combat, melee combat, and war machine, and his strength in foot combat is almost unrivaled in the world!
When he saw Xu Chu for the first time, Dian Wei felt uncomfortable all over.
After hearing that Xu Chu killed the tiger, he felt infinite fighting spirit and wanted to drag Xu Chu into a fight immediately.
Compare and see who is the first person to kill a tiger!
Then Liu Zhang opened his mouth to provoke without Liu Zhang's permission.
Especially after seeing that Liu Zhang didn't show any displeasure, he pointed his finger at Xu Chu.
"Hmph, did you know that this general specializes in killing tigers!"
