Luoyang, Li Xiang's place is quite lively these days, and there are quite a few people who come to visit him!
There were people from Zhu Yuanzhang and people from Xiang Yu, both of whom came here for the war in the south.
People like Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu are different, and can even be said to be completely opposite. Even if they fought life and death before, they still smile at each other when there is benefit, and they are even more like brothers than real brothers.
Therefore, when Li Xiang contacted Zhu Yuanzhang to jointly conquer Japan, everyone helped me and I helped you complete a period of exchange of interests, and finally achieved this thing.
But now that Zhu Yuanzhang is useful to Li Xiang, he won't mind the fight between them before. When he should send out personnel to "connect feelings", he must "connect feelings"!
After all, at least they are still nominal allies for now.
Of course, Li Xiang would not refuse these two visitors. At least, he really did not want Liu Che's power to expand too much. Even if he could not maintain the scene of several heroes competing for hegemony, he would at least let Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che compete.
Allowing one side to outpace the other by too much will not give the South any unifying trend, even if there is even the slightest sign of it!
But in fact, there are not many things that Li Xiang can do now! Even if Li Xiang is stationed at the border, the number of troops that can contain Liu Che is actually very limited. After all, Liu Che's territory is just that, and it does occupy a natural position in defense.
the benefits of.
Moreover, Li Xiang also moved his troops in Nanjun northward, just to show an attitude to Liu Xiu. However, given Liu Xiu's current situation, even if Li Xiang was willing to give him such a chance, in fact
Li Xiang doesn't think highly of him either.
Even if Liu Xiu really has the chance to take a bite of Xiang Yu's territory, he may not really be able to do it. With Liu Xiu's current situation, there is no guarantee that he will suffer from indigestion! Territory is something that you can never swallow as much as you want.
Yes, it also depends on whether you have the ability to digest it!
The little land he has now is a new land, and he has been in a state of war before. There is no time to straighten him out. Now he really may not be able to take advantage of the Xiang family!
Moreover, it is indeed difficult to use Liu Xiu to check and balance Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che! It's not that Liu Xiu's abilities are inferior to these two, it's just that the cards in their hands are not on the same level!
With the same ability, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che had either big or small king bombs or four twos in their hands, while Liu Xiu could only have three, four, five, and six in his hands, not to mention bombs, not even a straight.
Come together, how can you defeat others?
However, Li Xiang's eyes are not only on the battle in the south. He is also operating in Japan and the Western Regions. These two places must be where he needs to spend his energy to pay attention!
And in the north, Yuan Shao's indecisiveness became more and more apparent. After Qin Zheng defeated Liu Bang and unified the entire Youzhou, it was naturally impossible for Yuan Shao to have no reaction here.
However, the people under him were roughly divided into two groups. One group suggested that he take advantage of the fact that Qin Zheng had just annexed Liu Bang and had not yet fully digested it. In addition, there was also the problem of Li Shimin in the east, and he took advantage of this opportunity.
A large-scale attack on the Qin government took a solid step towards unifying the north.
The other faction suggested that Yuan Shao should focus on stability, recuperate first, and recover from the wounds of the previous war. Jizhou's war potential is definitely not comparable to Youzhou. As long as Yuan Shao is stable, he will definitely have the upper hand.
Unfortunately, facing these two different suggestions, Yuan Shao was in a dilemma and could not make up his mind.
Moreover, the war in the Central Plains is becoming more and more intense now, which has also attracted Li Xiang's energy.
Yuan Shu, he is really in danger this time! The four princes Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, Chi You, and Zhu Yuanzhang greeted him together. Even if Li Xiang helped him secretly, it was of no use!
Moreover, this time, the lineup dispatched by these princes is also very terrifying. Even if Li Xiang encounters it, he must deal with it with all his strength!
Cao Cao was originally a commander-in-chief, with Cao Ren, Tian Ji, Xiao Hui and other famous generals under his command. As for the god-level generals under him, in addition to Cao Kerang who was looking after the house, You Liang, Hei Pao, Hei Lian etc.
All three were sent out by him.
On Zhao Kuangyin's side, there were not only the famous founding generals of the early Song Dynasty, but also two powerful figures, Tian Dan and Zhou Yu. Although only Zhao Yu was dispatched among the god-level generals under his command, the remaining Sun Luzhen and Xia Geng were all in Japan.
, but whether it is the three rhinoceros brothers or the five-pole war gods united, they are not comparable to ordinary gods.
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more exaggerated. This time he did not personally send troops. Instead, he sat in Jiangdong south of the Yangtze River and paid attention to the situation in the south. But Zhu Di, Wu Zixu, Wang Lu and others were all very capable. The world-famous fierce general Lu
The ears are also very invincible!
For Chi You, he alone was the biggest deterrent!
Therefore, when Yuan Shu could no longer be saved, Li Xiang could only use the last resort to seize what he could get first! If he could get the benefits in his hands, nothing big would happen.
questionable!
The four princes from the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, Chi You, and Zhu Yuanzhang greeted them together. Yuan Shu was indeed unable to resist at this time!
Of course, there were four routes before, but now there are only three routes left. After Chi You captured another half of Pei Kingdom, the war has officially ceased. There is no need for him to continue fighting Yuan Shu!
It's not that Chi You doesn't want more territory, but it's his best choice now. Due to the relationship between his own territory, even if he can win more territory, it will definitely not be easy to defend in the future. Therefore,
It's better to just give it up when it's good.
The remaining three people, Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhu Yuanzhang, are relatively firm in determination. They obviously come to this battle with the idea of completely carving up Yuan Shu. Among the remaining three princes, they are the most powerful.
The weak Cao Cao attacked the most fiercely.
The battle not long ago caused Cao Cao heavy losses. It would be really difficult for him to recover if he relied on him alone, and it would definitely take a long time. But if he could recover by devouring the bones and blood of others, then he would be able to recover.
Recovery time is greatly shortened!
Therefore, when Zhao Kuangyin contacted him, Cao Cao did not reject the suggestion of attacking Yuan Shu together. No matter from any aspect, they could not let Yuan Shu continue to perform as before.
But no one knew that when Yuan Shu was about to lose his support, an old man came under Yuan Shu's care at this time, and even secretly met with an important minister under Yuan Shu!
