After all, just as Chi You said, if Huo Qubing is allowed to destroy their rear, there will be no need to form this alliance!
Which of these princes is willing to sacrifice himself for others?
A person who sacrifices himself for others cannot become a prince, let alone live till now!
If they continue to stay here to fight the Jin army at the risk of their rear being disrupted by Huo Qubing's cavalry, neither Chi You nor Cao Cao are such philanthropists!
Otherwise, if they really defeated the Jin army, they themselves would be displaced by Huo Qubing, and they would be so exhausted that they would withdraw from the ranks of competing for world hegemony.
So, for Cao Cao and Chi You, what is the point of joining forces to fight against the Jin army?
The reason why they are willing to form an alliance to deal with the Jin army is originally for themselves, not to be used as cannon fodder for other princes!
Therefore, if this joint cavalry team is formed, then Cao Cao and Chi You may not agree.
As Chi You said, if Zhao Kuangyin does not agree, then there is no need for Cao Cao and Chi You to continue to participate in this alliance!
Although Chi You's words contained a threat, they were also true! Because if Zhao Kuangyin did not agree to this request, Chi You and Cao Cao would really retreat!
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin could only agree to this request!
However, although Zhao Kuangyin agreed, it always takes time to coordinate the troops! It doesn't take more than three or two days, and maybe there will be tens of thousands more refugees in the territory of these two people!
Tens of thousands more refugees would be a big burden for both Cao Cao and Chi You. In the future, after they have dealt with the Jin army, Zhao Kuangyin will have greater confidence.
Or to resolve Cao Cao and Chi You at the minimum cost, and completely unify the three states of the Central Plains.
Besides, Zhao Kuangyin is also afraid!
Although it seems that Huo Qubing is indeed going to the territory of Cao Cao and Chi You, if Huo Qubing's problem is not dealt with in time, Zhao Kuangyin himself will be afraid if Huo Qubing does this again on his territory!
They would be afraid of the threat of Huo Qubing's cavalry, no matter who it fell upon! If one mistake was made, their future hegemony might be ruined.
"This thief Li Zifeng allowed the Qiang people to poison our Han people, and everyone in the world will find him and kill him!" Cao Cao said with hatred.
Chi You wanted to actually send troops to deal with Huo Qubing, while Cao Cao wanted to suppress Li Xiang in a righteous way.
Previously, Li Xiang used the name of the Qiang people to smear all the princes in the world, and Cao Cao was one of the victims among these people. Now, Cao Cao just wants to treat others in the same way as they are treated.
.Li Xiang has discredited their names, so he will also make Li Xiang's reputation stink!
In fact, regarding the Qiang people's invasion of Liangzhou, although Li Xiang used this reason to smear the princes of the world, Cao Cao may not have had his own doubts. He suspected that some ally had contacted the Qiang people and cooperated with them to deal with Li Xiang.
.
After all, once the Qiang people really invade Liangzhou on a large scale, it seems that all the princes in the world will benefit!
However, when people from the school affairs office investigated the specific situation of the Qiang people and found out that there were only about 30,000 Qiang people in the so-called Qiang rebellion, Cao Cao had to secretly curse Li Xiang for being shameless.
If there were 100,000 or 80,000 Qiang people who committed the rebellion, it must have been done by one of his allies! But if there were only about 30,000 Qiang people, and they were still this kind of anticlimactic, they were almost the same as a mob.
If he caused trouble, it couldn't have been done by one of his allies!
After all, the gains and losses are not proportional at all. Such a small-scale turmoil cannot hurt Li Xiang at all. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a matter of sprinkling water. But which prince is willing to sacrifice his own life?
Do you want to do such a thankless job with your reputation?
For this reason, Cao Cao also eliminated the suspicion of his allies. After eliminating all impossible possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how incredible it is, then the final possibility will only be this problem.
Correct answer!
Therefore, if one of these princes did not do it, it could only be Li Xiang himself!
However, Li Xiang held this shit basin for the princes of the world. Although the princes of the world could throw it away from each other, they could not throw it back to Li Xiang.
They can't tell the world that it was Li Zifeng who paid the Qiang people to destroy their territory!
This time, Cao Cao was finally able to vent his anger and took this opportunity to ruin Li Zifeng's reputation!
If everyone's reputation is bad together, then there is actually no difference. It is equivalent to standing on the same starting line! At most, the reputation of these princes in Liangzhou is bad, and Li Xiang is in the Central Plains.
This place has a bad reputation!
"It is natural to send troops, but my brother Zhao She is one of the best in leading troops under my command! If we want to send troops, my brother Zhao She can be the main general!" Zhao Kuangyin continued.
It is okay to send troops, but in the current situation, this is not allowed. As long as he still wants to deal with the Jin army, he cannot refuse this request!
However, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to hold in his own hands the person who would lead the troops this time, so that he could maintain the greatest initiative.
"Okay!" After thinking about it, Cao Cao and Chi You looked at each other and said.
In politics, there are always certain compromises to be made.
Zhao Kuangyin agreed to cooperate with them in sending troops to deal with Huo Qubing, so the choice of this general became a compromise they had to make.
The more critical point is that they have to compromise now. Because they have no possibility of delaying time. If they are unwilling to compromise, this matter will inevitably drag on for a while, and the longer it delays now, the more likely it will be.
The damage to their rear is likely to be even greater!
It is precisely because of this consideration that Cao Cao and Chi You have to compromise now. They do not have the time to argue. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin is willing to argue, but Cao Cao and Chi You are definitely not willing.
Again, this time to deal with Huo Qubing, Zhao Kuangyin originally had to use more power.
