At that time, given Liu Bei's strength, if he still held on to that idea, he might be the one who fell. So the plan was changed to push Yuan Shao flatly, which would save the vitality of the Central Plains as much as possible. As for who would die in that battle?
Who is unlucky.
Needless to say, the result was that in that battle, a top master who was about to discover the ultimate level of internal energy separation died, another one who was about to discover the ultimate level of internal energy separation, a strategic level spiritual talent owner, and a tactical level spiritual talent died.
The owner of the talent, plus the complete annihilation of a complete army of military souls, will die to the point where not even the scum is left!
Coupled with the fact that a person at the level of an overlord has fallen on his knees, this loss is really serious and would probably make any empire feel heartbroken.
How can we describe this level of losses? In the Roman Empire, it was almost equivalent to the 17th, 18th, and 19th legions that were all wiped out and had their eagle flag stolen. The deputy emperor led the Roman Parliamentary Guards to take revenge. As a result, the deputy emperor was killed.
Kill them, and the Roman Council of Guards will be wiped out.
This is the Central Plains. The death of such a top-level person still has the heart to celebrate. If you want to leave it to other empires, such a big loss, the entire country needs an explanation from top to bottom.
Regardless of whether it is top-level military force, top-level intelligence, or top-level commander, every country treats them as treasures, and the Central Plains uses such people as refining gu and consumes them.
To be honest, looking back, Chen Xi didn't dare to think about how much war potential the Han Empire had lost in that battle.
Anyway, Chen Xi knew one thing. Those who died were enough to build a grassroots platform at the core of the regime. He estimated that they could be conquered and then they could be killed from one of the four directions: east, west, north, south. As for now, without Yuan Shao, he could look back.
Liu Bei needs to take care of both directions.
If Chen Xi's plan is followed steadily, Yuan Shao will not be under much pressure while holding on in one direction. Liu Bei will hold on in one direction while transfusing blood to the three overlords Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce, ensuring that before Chen Xi's death, the overall situation will be better than only
The Sun and Cao families are much better off.
Xun Chen couldn't help but nodded after listening to Jia Xu's complete explanation. Yuan Shao's strength at that time was really not bad. To be honest, both Yuan Shao and Liu Bei had the strength to challenge other princes in single combat at that time.
Of course, the price must be a long-term war of attrition that will completely destroy the Central Plains, and even cause both sides to break through the bottom line of mankind.
"Is your current goal still the same as before?" Xun Chen asked after being silent for a while.
"Well, the strength has been greatly expanded now. It will take some time for Cao Cao to deal with it. As for Sun Boxu, he is actually just waiting for the opportunity." Jia Xu had no intention of hiding it at all. He knew very well what Xun Chen and Xu You were.
state.
Xu You seeks wealth and fame, and apart from the illusory wealth in people's hearts, the greatest wealth is the Xuanyuan Cauldron. As for seeking fame, Jia Xu has already given Xu You a target. To be honest, Jia Xu's control over people's hearts is now
There is still a lot to learn about Fa Zheng.
"Liu Xuande is the hero!" Xu You sighed and said. He originally thought that Yuan Shao was enough to defy heaven, but it turned out that Liu Xuande was truly tolerant of the world.
"That's basically it. Chen Zichuan likes to calculate far enough in one go, but you have also seen the actual situation. Accidents always happen. Fortunately, the overall situation is difficult to destroy, but this time it's okay." Jia Xu nodded, this accident
It really helped Liu Bei a lot.
It can be said that this time it was really thanks to the Northern Huns, otherwise Xu You and Xun Chen would have most likely surrendered to Cao Cao. After all, under the premise of Yuan Shaoying, the leader did not have enough righteousness. If they surrendered to Liu Bei, these people would really
I can't help but feel embarrassed.
As a result, the Northern Huns fell from power. There is no greater righteousness than this. Xun Chen and Xu You are not fools. The situation in the world has actually become clear. Liu Xuande has no idea what he is worried about. The single comparison of strength has really surpassed it.
All other princes.
After the two of them surrendered to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao died in the battle, they were already losers. So what they wanted was no longer victory, but fame after death. Just keep their reputation.
.
"Chen Zichuan, aren't you good at real-time planning?" Xun Chen said in disbelief.
"He's not good at many things. But on the one hand, he always leads the way to fend off the enemy, and if it doesn't work, he will forcefully crush him. On the other hand, he can always find the most suitable people to do the most suitable things, so he is better than all others.
Everyone is awesome." Jia Xu said helplessly. He had already discovered Chen Xi's problems from many details, but Jia Xu was convinced by who and what he did.
Xun Chen and Xu You looked at each other. It goes without saying what Jia Xu's words imply. Whether it is to reassure them or if it is true, it means that they will be reused by Liu Bei instead of being given a job to support them.
.
"In that case, I also want to see what the scenery outside the Central Plains is like." Xun Chen slowly opened his mouth. When he said this, he said that they were willing to do something they were unwilling to do before.
"Since you are like this, I won't say anything more and I am willing to do my best." Xu You sighed and said.
The corner of Jia Xu's mouth slightly raised, Youzhou was ready, even Cui Jun, who had already buried his secret son, was not even a little bit worse than these two men under Yuan Shao's command, and the effects they could achieve were completely different.
"I can order people to open all the checkpoints and cities from Guangchang to Jicheng, including Jicheng." Xun Chen and Xu You looked at each other and said, Jia Xu did not change much, as for those sitting opposite
Wei Yan, Xu Shu and others, who didn't say anything but just drank tea, sprayed directly.
"Then thank you both." Jia Xu bowed very respectfully, without doubting that Xun Chen had set a trap for them.
"A defeat is a defeat. At this level, continuing to resist stubbornly will have no meaning except creating opportunities for the Northern Huns. Rather than letting Youzhou be ruined by the Northern Huns, it is better to give it to you. The Han and the Huns are not at odds with each other.
We know very well how to choose at this time." Xun Chen waved his hand and said with some waning interest.
After passing Guangchang, there is really not much resistance in the city behind. Behind it is the Northern Huns, and in the front is the Han army. The civil war gives the Northern Huns a chance, or surrender to the Han army and fight back against the Huns. Except for a few Yuan family who are fanatical and brainless.
Die loyal, others will probably choose to surrender to the Han army.
This is completely different from Xianbei attacking from behind. It is common sense to attack Xianbei from the front and hold back from behind. But if it were the Xiongnu, think about Zhang Liao's ancestors three hundred years ago. Even now, Zhang Liao does not dare to change his surname back...
Therefore, once Liu Bei's army enters Youzhou, most of the city defenders will choose to surrender. Even Yuan Shao's diehard faction, as long as they have enough brains, will choose to open the city gate, but they will stay behind closed doors and surrender instead of Liu Bei.
