When Ma Chao returned to Xiliang, Chen Xi also received accurate intelligence from the north. Sure enough, as Guo Jia had judged, the entire northern grassland had collectively snowed, and the Xianbei people were already getting ready to move.
"It's really endless. I can't even fight this time." Chen Xi said with a headache. He had been resting at home for a while. This time, he was arrested because of a serious matter.
With the start of the suppression of bandits by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Hua Xiong and others, the situation in Jizhou has begun to stabilize. At least the consumption rate of mental energy has begun to decline slightly. It is estimated that Chen Xi's mental energy will be replenished again in a few months. Measured.
"Let's fight, we've already annoyed these guys from the north." Jia Xu said with a smile, but there was an extremely cold tone in his words.
"I'm afraid that Yuan Tan doesn't have the courage of Yuan Shao. If he cooperates with Xianbei, although it will have no impact on us in the war situation, it will definitely be a tragedy for the people in the north." Li You said slowly, as for Lu Su carried the quilt to the government office again like last year.
"We can send a letter to Yuan Tan. As long as he does not let Xianbei enter Youzhou and merge with the state, we will never take action against them within a year." Chen Xi thought for a while and made a speechless suggestion.
"Do you think Yuan Tan will threaten us by letting Xianbei into Youzhou and Bingzhou after hearing this news?" Liu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "In my opinion, this is almost absolute. That guy is far worse than Yuan Shao. Stay away!"
"If I don't say it, he will probably let it go, so I still said it." Chen Xi spread his hands with an indifferent expression.
"So I say we might as well ignore him and let them go. We have already told them. With Shen Ping and Zhang Jiao, it will be easy for them to defend the north. At most, there will be loopholes in the defense line." Liu Ye calmly said Said, "Just do you think they would rather have holes in the northern defense line or holes in the southern defense line?"
This is simply nonsense. The people of Youzhou and Bingzhou will suffer because of the loopholes in the northern defense line. If there is a loophole in the southern defense line, doesn't it mean that there will be a danger of overthrow in an instant!
No matter how far apart Yuan Tan was from Yuan Shao, he would never do such a stupid thing. No monarch would place his own safety on the mercy of others. Even if Liu Bei's benevolence was recognized by anyone, Yuan Tan was not willing to bet on whether he would be the first unlucky person.
Except for Guo Jia who was there and Fazheng who was there Shenyouwu, everyone else present was speechless. This is the deadlock. Yuan Tan didn't dare to bet!
"Hey, Fengxiao, please speak up. Don't just listen to what we say!" Chen Xi said dissatisfiedly as he looked at Guo Jia who was there.
"Actually, what we should do most now is to cut down Youzhou." Guo Jia said slowly.
Guo Jia also knows something about Yuan Tan. How could that guy take the lives of the people at heart? He will definitely defend the southern front with all his strength. As for Yuan Tan in the north, he will definitely do a good job in publicity.
For example, because Liu Bei and Xianbei teamed up, Yuan Tan was unable to rescue the people. He, Yuan Tan, felt sorry for the people in the north. As for whether these things happened, under Yuan Tan's rule, Yuan Tan's words must be what he said.
"Since Yuan Tan's troops are not strong enough to defend the northern and southern fronts, let's let him have enough troops to defend. With our army's defense line stretching thousands of miles, how can we defend it without the investment of hundreds of thousands of troops? So let us help him Cutting the defense line to within three hundred miles, he will naturally have enough troops." Guo Jia said slowly.
There is no use in persuading the enemy with words. It is more in line with Guo Jia's character to hit the enemy until he has to go down at the pace he designed.
What's more, Yuan Tan has not yet completely grasped the chaos caused by Yuan Shao's death, and although Youzhou is the territory given to Yuan Tan by Yuan Shao, it was only given to Yuan Tan not long ago. He seizes the opportunity to kill the entire territory with one blow. It is not impossible to cut down Youzhou.
"Swallow the entire Youzhou directly?" Chen Xi knocked on the table and kept thinking about this question.
"This is a good strategy. And as Feng Xiao said, as long as we move quickly and capture Youzhou, Yuan Tan will have enough troops to defend the north and the south at the same time." Jia Xu said with a smile. He is very in favor of capturing Youzhou. You must know that Youzhou and Jizhou are fully bordered, and they are both defensive lines.
"The biggest problem is that we can't take action now," Fa Zheng said with a smile. "It's best not to tear up the contract."
"Xiaozhi, you're wrong. Fengxiao didn't say it was us who did it. Fengxiao probably wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill people." Li You said slowly. He had already thought about what Guo Jia wanted to do.
"Yes, there is another Gongsun in the north, and this Gongsun Shengji is very aware of current affairs." Guo Jia said with a smile. He didn't believe that Yuan Tan would be able to extend the battle line for more than a thousand miles. His originally stretched troops Can it still be supported?
"It's feasible, but I don't know if this person is willing." Chen Xi was a little unsure, and the other party was also considered a figure.
"There is no willingness or unwillingness, only whether he will do it or not. But with General Gongsun's mind, he will definitely choose the most correct approach." Liu Ye also reacted. Not long after the battle between Yuan and Liu ended, Gongsun Du's The envoy has appeared in Yecheng, but he is still waiting at the inn.
"That would be great." Chen Xi said with a smile. Sure enough, when the strength reaches a certain limit, someone will naturally come to surrender.
[Huh, this is a good start. Liaodong Gongsun is indeed aware of current affairs. The next step is to continue to strengthen our own power. The next battle with Sun Cao will definitely not be as difficult as this battle between Yuan and Liu. The final battle must be Easily defeated, this is the key to overwhelm them when the time comes. 】
Chen Xi silently glanced at the group of people in front of him, and a rare smile appeared since he fell out with Zhen Mi.
Although it is not the best lineup, it is enough. Sometimes it is normal for things to go wrong. Chen Xi has also carefully browsed the information about Cao Liu. It is indeed powerful. Even anyone who appears in the official history is enough to easily defeat him. All the princes in the world.
But only with such strength can Chen Xi have the confidence to continue. If it is really weak to the point where there are only a few million people in history, then Chen Xi can only say that he is really a waste.
Killed the plague, avoided the typhoid fever that killed 70% of the people, prevented the destruction of grain-producing areas, and avoided the tragedy of exchanging children for food; it can be said that the reason why Sun Ce and Cao Cao are so strong is more because of Chen Xi's betrayal. If they are like Typhoid fever and famine broke out like in history. Now the world is estimated to have a population of just over 20 million, and 20 million are Liu Bei's population, and only a fraction of it belongs to Cao Sun.
In that case, even if Cao Sun's Wenchen generals turned over ten times, it would not make any sense. (To be continued.)
