Chen Xi had no idea that Chen Qun wanted to put pressure on Chen Xi. Even if he did know, he would just laugh twice. Chen Xi would feel very confused about Xun Yu, but Chen Xi really didn't have much pressure from Chen Qun. He was smart. 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 compete 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 about 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, he is a righteous person. Even if he is often looking for someone like Guo Jia, Even if he doesn't see anyone, Cao Cao won'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 and Xun Yu. There is a high possibility that Xun You's uncle and nephew will be overthrown, but whether it is this time or in history, Chen Qun came later than Xun Yu.
A guy who is not as capable as his opponent and doesn't share the same hardships as his boss, can he overthrow a person who shares weal and woe with his boss, is extremely capable, is a decent person, and has friends all over the world? This is more bizarre 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 though this time Chen Qun used Yingchuan counties as his entry point, and he joined far earlier than the original history. , the Chen family also vigorously 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. More importantly, Chen Qun's political ability, which is the ability that Cao Mengde needs most, is completely shrunk by Xun Yu. You said that in this situation, Cao Cao How to choose? Anyone who is not stupid would probably choose to give Chen Qun a high position, and the real power is still in Xun Yu's hands.
On the other hand, Yuan Shu had already returned to Xiangyang, and Jiangxia County handed over to Sun Ce, who had made great contributions to Duanhou, killing three thousand enemies and capturing over 10,000 prisoners. He also acquiesced in the 5,000 Duanhou soldiers that Sun Ce had brought from the ship and included them all into Sun Ce's army. Qu, naturally Sun Ce was very surprised and 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 in 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. The middle road is also 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. He did not lose his hometown in Yuzhou after saying this. He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle after returning to Nanyang, but he did not expect that 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 required to defeat a state and 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!
"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 Jiangling is captured, we don't have the strength to defend so many places! It can be said that our current strength is already stretched. !" Yang Hong explained helplessly to Yuan Shu, 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 win 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 danger 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 for 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 what he did when he was in a good mood. 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. He is 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 firmly believed that there wouldn't be much of a problem with Yuzhou's strong foundation.
"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 first if he did not let Qiao Rui settle the matter after his death. (To be continued.)
