The invasion of the Jin army will definitely make the current situation of Yuan Shu's forces worse. No, to be more precise, it should have snowed harder.
In view of the previous series of achievements of the Jin army, Li Mi and others immediately suggested that Yuan Shu dispatch Xian Zhen to resist the Jin army, and dispatch other strong generals to replace Xian Zhen to defend the two princes Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang on the eastern front.
Li Mi and Yan Xiang, two wise men, did not deal with Yuan Shu's hands. This was not a matter of a day or two.
Not to mention the people under Yuan Shu's own command, even other princes knew that these two people were not easy to deal with. Zhao Kuangyin even made some special plans to deal with the misunderstanding between these two people, but these two people did not do it for free, and the impact in the end was limited!
Many Yan Xiang would raise objections to any suggestions put forward by Li Mi.
And this time was no exception. Yan Xiang still did not agree with Li Mi's opinion, and even publicly accused Li Mi of bringing harm to the country. In fact, the two sides were almost reaching a limit in their constant arguments, and they could hardly maintain their superficial dignity. Yan Xiang directly suggested that Yuan Shu pull down Li Mi, a man who was causing trouble to the country, to show his integrity.
In Yan Xiang's view, no matter how resounding the Jin army's reputation was, Li Mu still only had 50,000 soldiers and horses. As for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Di had 20,000 troops and horses, but Zhao Kuangyin, as the first main force, had more than 100,000 troops.
The threat posed by the two men, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin, was far beyond what Li Mu's 50,000 men could compare with. Therefore, it is definitely not a wise move to transfer Xian Zhen from the front line to resist Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang to resist Li Mu!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin, these are two ferocious tigers. Perhaps Li Xiang and even his Jin army can be regarded as a giant dragon soaring in the nine heavens, but if there are only a few men like Li Mu, they are just a somewhat ferocious evil wolf!
Although the wolves are cruel, after all, it is the two ferocious tigers that can pose a greater threat!
After all, in the hands of Yuan Shu, when Pang Juan was captured alive by Zhao Kuangyin, Xian Zhen was already their number one general, so of course good steel must be used on the blade.
However, in the past, Yan Xiang could get some supporters after putting forward his suggestions, but this time he couldn't even find a few supporters.
Why? Of course, it's because Nanyang is right next to Runan, and Li Mu's attack direction is directly towards Runan, which is Yuan Shu's base camp. In other words, their home base is now under the threat of Li Mu Bingfeng, which is already a serious threat.
After all, the remaining Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhao Kuangyin still had some strategic depth to resist, and they were not like the Jin army, who looked like a knife blade on their necks.
Therefore, under this threat, Yan Xiang certainly could not find many supporters. Others are not as stubborn as Yan Xiang. They only know that their lives are threatened, and they habitually accept suggestions that are better and more beneficial to them!
Even Yuan Shu took the initiative to scold Yan Xiang. Yuan Shu, no matter how good he felt about himself, someone else's knife was already about to reach his neck. He thought that others wouldn't dare to cut it off!
Taking a step back, no matter what the princes of the world think of Li Xiang, at least for now, Li Xiang is still the representative of the Han Dynasty. He now represents the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu's so-called Zhong Dynasty is absolutely on two distinct sides.
Therefore, even if Li Mi did not need to spend any effort to persuade Yuan Shu this time, Yuan Shu was naturally on Li Mi's side.
In other words, even if Li Mi did not say these words, in fact, the idea of temporarily transferring Xian Zhen back and resisting the Jin army was still in Yuan Shu's mind. Li Mi's role was only to make Yuan Shu more determined in his idea.
Among the front lines, Xian Zhen during this period was already physically and mentally exhausted under the tremendous pressure. But after he listened to the debate in Yuan Shu's court, he ignored his physical and psychological fatigue and immediately prepared a memorial to state the great points one by one.
Obviously, in Xian Zhen's heart, he actually agreed with Yan Xiang. Xian Zhen also believed that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di were still the greater threat.
What's more, the people the Jin Army went into battle this time were not the Jin Army's chief governors, or even the long-established famous generals of the Jin Army, but Li Mu, who had no record or reputation. In this world, there is a real fight after all. Otherwise, who would recognize your ability?
Just like Li Mu now, is his ability poor? Of course this is impossible! However, when anyone mentions him, he will be placed on the same level as the great governors of the Jin army.
In the previous battle in Jingbei, although Li Mu also succeeded in attacking cities and plundering territory, he captured almost the entire Jiangxia County. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was Li Mu who took advantage of Yue Fei, Wu Qi and others, rather than Li Mu defeating them with his own true ability.
Rather than saying that Li Mu captured the entire Jiangxia County, it would be better to say that Yue Fei and others won the battle thousands of miles away, forcing the enemy to abandon the entire Jiangxia County or even surrender directly.
Therefore, on the surface it was Li Mu who captured it, but in fact it was Yue Fei who captured it. On the surface it was Li Mu's credit, but it was just the credit of Yue Fei and others!
In this battle, Li Mu had no chance to show off various maneuvers like Yue Fei and Wu Qi!
Coupled with Li Mu's origin as a Bingzhou Li family, it is really difficult not to make some of them think too much!
In short, if it were any of the major governors in the Jin army, Xian Zhen might pay more attention to him. But if there is only one Li Mu, in Xian Zhen's heart, his weight is not as important as that of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di. It is even said that this weight is far behind others.
With Xian Zhen, a famous general, personally submitting the letter, Yuan Shu temporarily suppressed the idea of transferring Xian Zhen back. It can only be said that Yuan Shu is not really useless! At least, he can maintain trust in the people under him, and he dares to delegate power sometimes!
It's a pity that although Yuan Shu temporarily put this idea to rest, Li Mi would not agree to this, and Li Xiang would not agree to it even more. Xian Zhen is one of the goals of Li Xiang's trip. If he cannot be lured into his trap, then Li Xiang's trip will be in vain!
