Chapter 833 All the West of Hangu Pass Belong to Qin
Liu Zhang stared at Xun You with anticipation in his eyes.
As long as Xun You nods and agrees, this matter can basically be done.
The importance of Xun Yu to one side is self-evident!
From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, only Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu were the only talents who really achieved Xiao He's position.
The ability of the two of them to coordinate the overall situation is completely top-notch.
With Zhuge Liang or Xun Yu sitting in the rear, then there is really no worries!
Although Jia Xu is currently doing very well, she is still a little worse than these two.
At present, Liu Zhang's hope of subduing Zhuge Liang is slim, and he can only pin his hopes on Xun Yu, who has a rift with Cao Cao.
As long as Xun Yu is willing to come, Liu Zhang can agree to any conditions!
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. My uncle's thinking is fundamentally different from your lord's."
"Even if you come, you can't really help the lord..."
Xun You is definitely not jealous, why doesn't he want his uncle and nephew to join hands and write a good story together.
"Gongda, if things go on like this, Wen Ruo's end is already..."
Liu Zhang really didn't want to see Xun Yu end up committing suicide. His death would be a loss to the whole man.
"Hey…"
Xun You shook his head, and could only sigh softly.
Even though he was wise and scheming, there was nothing he could do about Xun Yu's affairs.
Deng Zhi is also a wise man, and he understood Liu Zhang and Xun You's meaning as soon as he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"My lord, Cao Cao's promotion to the prime minister is incomparable!"
"In contrast to Yuan Shao, with the defeat of Cangting, a large area of land in Jizhou was lost, and Qingzhou had to give up completely."
"In my opinion, Yuan Shao has reached the point where he is dying, and the land of Hebei will eventually fall into the hands of Cao Cao."
Liu Zhang nodded in agreement, he was also worried about this.
Although he knew the outcome of Yuan Shao's battle at Cangting in his heart, this duel between the two was completely different from the history.
At least 100,000 elite troops guarding the border have never been engaged in combat in history.
I thought that Yuan Shao would be able to seize this opportunity to wash away the shame brought by Guandu in World War I.
Unexpectedly, there was no difference in the result, it was still a complete defeat!
Yuan Shao also fully confirmed his title of waste.
No matter how elite your troops are, you should fall into the trap and run for your life!
If this kind of person is defeated, it will be hell.
The only thing that surprised Liu Zhang was that Yuan Shao abandoned Yecheng and fled back to Nanpi where he made his fortune!
However, even if the wheel of history deflects, I am afraid that the ending of Yuan Shao's destruction will still be difficult to change.
"Gongda, the final ownership of Hebei is a foregone conclusion!"
"If you don't do anything, your uncle's fate will also be doomed."
Liu Zhang did not cause trouble for no reason, he has already seen the future.
Cao Cao's proclaimed public may be earlier than in history.
It was his fate that Yuan Shao didn't die this time, but it didn't mean that Yuan Shao could turn the tide.
When Cao Cao completely wiped out the Yuan family in Hebei, the momentum and prestige reached its peak.
In history, Cao Cao pacified Hebei in the past few years. Even if Liu Zhang wanted to interfere, he was powerless.
Guanzhong is so dilapidated that there are still huge problems in self-protection, let alone fighting abroad.
While capturing Yongliang, it also caused most of the elite of the Yizhou Army to fight abroad.
Without five years, it is difficult to form a peak combat power.
In five years, the revival of the entire Guanzhong can only see improvement at best.
Is population migration going smoothly? Is the population base sufficient? Is the farming economy prosperous?
Without the population, the grain and grass production will definitely not be able to keep up!
There are countless problems in the whole pass, and it is still unknown whether they can be solved smoothly.
Moreover, it is easy to be self-sufficient in Guanzhong, but it is still difficult to afford the food and grass supply of the eastward army alone.
It can be said that Liu Zhang hated Cao Cao to death, bit his back molars, and could only watch him accept Hebei step by step.
After the unification of the Central Plains and Hebei, can Cao Cao still be satisfied with the position of prime minister?
Although it was possible in history, it must not be possible now.
Now that there is a precedent for Liu Zhang, Duke Qin, can Cao Cao's Duke Wei be far behind?
At that time, Xun Yu's attempt to use the Yingchuan family to contain Cao Cao is just a dream.
History also proves that after Cao Cao annexed Hebei in the Central Plains, the Yingchuan family also completely defected.
For example, the Zhong family where Zhong Yao was, the Chen family where Chen Qun was, and even after Guo Jia's death, the Guo family completely fell to Cao Cao's side.
Without the backing of the Yingchuan family, Xun Yu is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, allowing Cao Cao to pinch him. "My lord, the fact of my uncle is powerless."
"He is a person who would rather be broken than whole..."
Xun You understood Liu Zhang's desire to get help from Xun Yu very well, but he could see through the outcome of this matter at a glance.
Not to mention writing letters to persuade him, I am afraid that even if Yingchuan is captured one day, Xun Yu will not be loyal to Liu Zhang.
The difference between the two concepts is too great, and Xun Yu can't accept just the attitude towards the aristocratic family.
What's more, Liu Zhang's ultimate goal is the position of being the only one!
"Oh, what a pity..."
Liu Zhang didn't continue to discuss about Xun Yu, he could only feel sorry in his heart.
"My lord, there is one more thing!"
The oppressive atmosphere made Deng Zhi forget Cao Cao's promise outside Xuchang City for a while.
"In order to thank the lord for speaking up for him, Cao Cao got the position of prime minister, and he specifically proposed to ease the relationship with us."
This matter is very important, related to the deployment of the Yizhou Army and the future forces of the Qin State.
Liu Zhang turned his head to look at Deng Zhi, just to suppress the trouble of not being able to get Xun Yu.
"The easing of relations requires sincerity! Otherwise, Cao Cao won't be able to encroach on Hebei safely!"
If you have no strength, you have no strength, and you still have to look good.
At least come across as tough.
If Cao Cao did not show the corresponding sincerity, he would have to face Liu Zhang's constant threats.
"My lord, Cao Cao wants to withdraw all Sili's garrison troops to Gucheng in Henan Yin."
"Cao Cao personally told me that everything west of Hangu Pass belongs to the Lord!"
After hearing this, Xun You was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, completely forgetting about Xun Yu.
"Bo Miao, are you serious?"
Deng Zhi nodded heavily.
"Military division, it is absolutely true!"
"On my way back, I saw that Cao Cao's army was already withdrawing."
Deng Zhi made sure to visit every important town along the way.
Except for the small officials and county soldiers who maintain order in the county government, there is indeed no defensive force.
"Very good!"
Xun You suddenly exclaimed, which startled Liu Zhang.
"Gongda, isn't he just a Hongnong County, why are you so excited?"
In Liu Zhang's view, Hongnong County is completely worthless.
Because Tongguan was established near Huayin, and Huayin is already in the westernmost part of Hongnong County, next to Jingzhaoyin.
