Chen Xi had no idea that Chen Qun wanted to put pressure on Chen Xi. Even if he knew, he would just give it a shout. Chen Xi would feel very confused about Xun Yu, but as Chen Qun said, Chen Xi really didn’t have much pressure. He was smart.
He is smart, but that's all. There is still a thin line between him and the group at the top. After all, that thin line is enough for Chen Qun's glory to be completely obscured by Xun Yu.
Well, for a character who could only live in the shadow of Xun Yu when Xun Yu was alive, Chen Xi said that he was completely unqualified to argue with him. After all, in the current situation, his position as Chen Zichuan and Xun Yu were equal. As for Chen
Qun, you should go play with Lu Su, my right-hand man, Chen Zichuan. Soldiers versus soldiers, kings versus kings, you are not qualified enough!
Of course, if Chen Xi knew Chen Qun's recent little tricks, he would be even more contemptuous. If the little tricks can defeat Xun Yu, unless Cao Mengde doesn't need this person anymore, let alone Xun Yu.
Even if he didn't see anyone, Cao Cao wouldn't let anyone take off his right-hand man.
As for whether Chen Qun could let Xun Yu go, Chen Xi could only sigh and say that it was a daydream. If Chen Qun had arrived earlier than Xun Yu, he might have been able to wrestle with Xun Yu. Of course, in the end, he was defeated by Xun Yu.
It is very likely that Xun You, uncle and nephew will be overthrown, but Chen Qun came later than Xun Yu, both this time and in history.
A guy who is not as capable as the other person and who doesn't share the same hardships as his boss can overthrow a guy who shares the same thick and thin with his boss, is extremely capable, a decent person, and has friends all over the world? This is simply more outrageous than a dream!
Because of this, when Chen Xi saw the information that Chen Qun joined Cao Cao, he could only silently express his sorrow for Chen Qun. Even if this time Chen Qun used the counties of Yingchuan as his entry point, and he joined far earlier than the original history.
, the Chen family also strongly supported Cao Cao after his death. But Chen Xi knew very well that even if all these methods worked, Chen Qun could only maintain his temporary glory.
There is no way that Chen Qun and Xun Yu have too many overlapping abilities. What is more important is that Chen Qun's political ability, which is the ability that Cao Mengde needs most, is completely shrunk by Xun Yu. If you encounter this situation, Cao Cao
How to choose? Anyone who is not stupid would probably choose to give Chen Qun a high position. The real power is still in Xun Yu's hands.
On the other hand, Yuan Shu had already returned to Xiangyang, and Jiangxia County was handed over to Duanhou. Sun Ce had killed three thousand enemies and captured over ten thousand prisoners. He also acquiesced in the five thousand Duanhou soldiers that Sun Ce had brought from the ship and incorporated them all into Sun Ce's army.
Qu. Naturally, Sun Ce was very surprised. He said that he would definitely guard the cities in Jiangxia and Hanyang.
"Lord, the latest information from Yuzhou is that all Liu Bei's troops who previously occupied the four counties of Yuzhou have retreated. Except for Chen Zichuan's troops on the middle road, they are still in the hinterland of Yuzhou. The other two groups have reached the edge of Yuzhou and will withdraw from Yuzhou at any time, and the middle road is also there.
Slowly retreat." Yang Hong lowered his head and informed Yuan Shu of the latest information.
"Liu Bei retreated?" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. After saying this, he did not lose his hometown in Yuzhou. He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle after returning to Nanyang. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei's army actually retreated.
"My lord, we were too anxious before and forgot that Liu Xuande had no way of occupying Yuzhou. His base is in Mount Tai, and he also added Qingzhou. The ability to barely defeat our remaining troops shows how powerful he is, but Yuzhou's
The battle line is too long for Liu Xuande, and the lord has always had the support of the people in Yuzhou. The troops needed to defeat a state and to occupy a state are completely different things. Unless Liu Xuande is willing to invest about 150,000 to 200,000 troops in Yuzhou, he can suppress it.
The rebound of the local forces living in Yuzhou." Yang Hong said with a wry smile, and there was something he didn't say.
"So, we shouldn't retreat?" Yuan Shu stared at Yang Hong and asked, furious!
"My lord, Liu Xuande's situation has also happened to us. We in Yuzhou are simply not strong enough to swallow up so much land. Even if we capture Jiangling, we don't have the strength to defend so many places! It can be said that our current strength is already stretched thin.
!" Yang Hong helplessly explained to Yuan Shu that he suspected that Yuan Shu didn't even know how much territory he had now.
"Are our troops stretched thin?" Yuan Shu asked in surprise, not realizing this problem at all.
"Lord, it seems that we only occupied Nanjun and Jiangxia, but originally we did not completely control Nanyang County. Liu Biao mixed a lot of sand into it. Now Nanyang has been completely occupied by us, and when we swept through Jingxiang
The two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang have already surrendered their land and become vassals." A look of pride appeared on Yang Hong's face. When he went to Jiujiang and Lujiang to mix sand, he never thought that there would be such a good opportunity to capture the two counties in one fell swoop.
"What?" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Hahahaha, it's true that I, Yuan Jiujiu, am the one destined for destiny. Zi Heng has done a great job. With these two counties, my land of Yuzhou and the land of Jingbei are completely connected.
There is no risk of division anymore!”
"Congratulations, lord!" Yang Hong also looked happy.
"In this case, let's stop the troops for the time being and let Liu Jingsheng live a few more days. Well, calm down Sun Bofu's mood and don't let him think wrong. By the way, let Fengxian go and teach Cao Ah Man a lesson. By the way,
Bring the head of the head of the Chen family over to me, how dare you rob me of Yingchuan while I'm here!" Yuan Shu did as he pleased when he was in a good mood, and after acquiring several new counties, Yuan Shu also felt that it was necessary to rest, but he could
I didn't forget to deal with Cao Cao.
Regarding Liu Bei, the intelligence collected from all aspects conveys a message. This guy is not weak at all, and in Yuan Shu's opinion, the opponent is quite sensible and has not fought with him, so he can only deal with Cao Cao and cause trouble.
The Chen family in Yingchuan.
After all, it's not Yuan Shu's style not to fight back when being beaten. Liu Xuande can't catch up, but you, Cao Aman, still dare to occupy my Yingchuan after I come back. I don't give you any color. Yuan Shu feels really sorry.
I am the newly appointed No. 1 prince in the world.
"Zi Heng, send Zhang Xun and others back to Yuzhou quickly to reorganize the army and recruit new soldiers for training on the spot. This time next year, I will see 150,000 new soldiers!" Yuan Shu said proudly, although Yuzhou was robbed by Liu Bei
After some plundering, Yuzhou's strong foundation would not pose a big problem at all. Yuan Shu firmly believed this.
"Here!" Yang Hong quickly recorded on the slip.
"Be kind to Qiao Rui's family! Alas, although he was a bit careless when he was alive, he still stood up for him in times of crisis. Tell his family that Qiao Rui's eldest son will take over Qiao Rui's position when he reaches adulthood!" Yuan Shu added
In a word, although he did not maintain peace, he still fought to the death to protect the Yuan family. For a loyal person like Yuan Shu, it would be difficult for him to get through it if he did not let Qiao Rui settle his affairs. (To be continued.
