Luoyang, Li Xiang's place is quite lively these days, and there are quite a few people coming to visit him!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu all came for the war in the south.
People like Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu are not the same, they can even be said to be completely opposite. Even though they were fighting life and death before, when it comes to interests, they still smile at each other, and they are even closer 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 interest exchange, and finally realized this matter.
But now that Zhu Yuanzhang is useful to Li Xiang, he will not mind their previous fights of life and death. When he should send people to "connect feelings", he must "connect feelings"!
After all, they are still nominal allies at least for now.
Of course, Li Xiang would not refuse these two visitors. At least, he really didn't want Liu Che's power to expand too much. Even if the scene of several heroes competing for hegemony cannot be maintained, at least the two heroes Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che must compete. One cannot be allowed to surpass the other by too much, and there must not be any unification trend in the south, even if there is such a small sign!
But in fact, there are not many things Li Xiang can do now! Even if Li Xiang stationed troops on the border, the number of troops that could contain Liu Che was actually very limited. After all, Liu Che's territory is just that, and it does have natural advantages in defense.
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 was not optimistic about him.
Even if Liu Xiu really has a 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! You can never swallow as much of something as territory as you want, it depends on your 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 ability is not as good as 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 Qin Zheng took a solid step towards unifying the north.
The other group suggested that Yuan Shao should focus on stability and recuperate first to recover from the wounds of the previous war. Jizhou's war potential is definitely not comparable to Youzhou. As long as Yuan Shao stays steady, he will be the one with the absolute advantage.
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 now becoming more and more intense, 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!
Here with Cao Cao, he was originally a commander-in-chief, and he had famous generals such as Cao Ren, Tian Ji, and Xiao Hui under his command. As for the god-level generals under him, except for Cao Kerang who was looking after the family, he also sent out three of them: You Liang, Hei Pao, and Hei Lian.
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, but 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 are all very capable, and the world-famous general Lu Er is also very invincible!
Chi You, he alone is the biggest deterrent!
Therefore, when Yuan Shu could no longer be saved, Li Xiang could only take the last resort and grab what he could first! If you take advantage of what you can get, there won't be any big problems!
In the Central Plains, the four princes Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, Chi You, and Zhu Yuanzhang came together to greet them. 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 is better to just give up when things get better.
The remaining three people, Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhu Yuanzhang, were more determined, and they obviously fought this battle with the idea of completely carving up Yuan Shu. Among the remaining three princes, Cao Cao, the weakest, was the most aggressive.
The battle not long ago caused Cao Cao to suffer heavy losses. It would be really difficult to recover if he relied on him alone, and it would definitely take a long time. But if he could devour the bones and blood of others to recover himself, then his recovery time would be greatly shortened!
Therefore, when Zhao Kuangyin contacted him, Cao Cao did not reject the proposal to attack Yuan Shu together. No matter which aspect they looked at, they couldn't let Yuan Shu continue to dance like 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 secretly went to meet an important minister under Yuan Shu!
