The person above him spoke, and this person above him was also his top boss. Therefore, Li Mu could only try his best to launch a more intense offensive and create greater pressure on Yuan Shu's side.
Lu Meng, a rising star under Yuan Shu, led an army of 100,000 to meet the enemy, but was defeated by Li Mu in a battle and even he himself was captured alive. Xu Shiying, Yawendang, Ai Zhang and other generals of the Yuan army were all killed in the battle. None of these people escaped with their lives, and they all died in the hands of the Jin generals.
As for Yuan Shu's 100,000-strong army, don't forget the suggestion that Li Mi gave to Yuan Shu, to directly mobilize all the people, just like the Yellow Turbans back then, to use as many troops as possible.
Of course, in this way, although the number of soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's hands looks scary, the quality... is just like your Yellow Turban Army. They seem to have a large number of people, and their superficial momentum is extremely scary, but it is probably even The original Han army was extremely outnumbered by them, and these Yellow Turbans were no match.
Moreover, how many people know whether there is any other intrigue behind the battle between Lu Meng and Li Mu?
Taking a series of factors together, it would be outrageous if Lu Meng could win against Li Mu! Anyway, Lu Meng experienced such a tragic defeat, this is a normal thing!
As for Xu Shiying, Yawendang, Ai Zhang and other generals of Yuan's army, Li Mi did not know whether these people were loyal to Yuan Shu or to others.
However, Li Mi knew that his other mission was to weaken Jiang Xiaobai or Wang Mang, and even get rid of them if there was a chance.
Without paying attention, Jiang Xiaobai jumped out of this mess. Therefore, Li Mi became even more concerned about the remaining Wang Mang. Even if he couldn't get rid of him, he would still weaken him as much as possible.
Moreover, Wang Mang is not necessarily any worse than Jiang Xiaobai. Jiang Xiaobai has already jumped out of this chaos. Who knows what Wang Mang has planned behind him, and who knows what Wang Mang will plan next, and whether he will also Like Jiang Xiaobai, withdraw from this chaos. Therefore, Li Mi also had to speed up his progress appropriately.
Therefore, taking advantage of this war, Li Mi used Yuan Shu to directly dispatch those generals who had a lot of contact with Wang Mang, regardless of whether they were from Wang Mang's faction, to several of the most dangerous battlefields.
Therefore, although Li Mi was not sure whether Xu Shiying, Yawendang, Ai Zhang and other Yuan Jun generals were from Wang Mang's faction, after all, Wang Mang could not put everything on the surface.
Just like Li Mi, although many people in Yuan Shu's power are in the same camp as him. However, how can this relationship be clearly revealed? At least on the surface, these people may not only be of the same faction, but may even be tit-for-tat with each other to confuse others!
However, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Anyway, no matter whether it is Yuan Shu's people or Wang Mang's people, they are not from the Jin army's own side. Regardless of whether they kill right or wrong, it is not a loss for the Jin army. If you want to complain, just blame them because Li Mi discovered that they had had many contacts with Wang Mang in private.
Lu Meng was defeated, and the defeat was so miserable, which once again shocked the entire Yuan Shu force.
Today, famous generals such as Pang Nuan, Wang Mang, and Wei Si are resisting Cao Cao, while famous generals such as Xian Zhen and Pei Xingyan are resisting Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di. Although the remaining generals under Yuan Shu are not even able to find a person to lead the army, arrive! However, the remaining generals may not be stronger than Lu Meng!
Now, Lü Meng has been defeated, and the defeat is still so miserable. Even if the other generals reluctantly lead the troops, the final result is not much better than Lü Meng!
Therefore, being forced and pressured, Yuan Shu finally revived his previous idea and temporarily transferred Xian Zhen back from Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di to resist the threat of the Jin army to the west.
Thus, a battle between Li Mu and Xian Zhen, a confrontation between two famous generals from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was about to begin. However, from the beginning of this war, both sides were actually in an unfair position.
Of course, there is never anything so-called fair or unfair in war. And, in the end, only the victors can pursue these.
Before that, the Jin army's sudden attack also made the three princes, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Cao Cao, full of doubts.
It's just Yuan Shu, but his territory is divided between the three of them, which is already quite embarrassing. If another person were to compete with them, they would be able to grab even less.
In other words, as far as Yuan Shu's future legacy is concerned, it is enough for the three of them to divide it, and there is no need for a fourth person to come and divide it.
Moreover, even if they really started to rob, these princes did not think they could defeat the Jin army. Even if the other party is really cruel, they may not only be unable to grab the benefits they want, but they themselves may also have to get involved.
Therefore, when Li Xiang arrived in Nanyang and when Li Xiang sent Li Mu to send troops to Yuzhou, the princes Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhao Kuangyin could no longer sit still. They secretly communicated with each other and discussed strategies against the Jin army.
However, most of the counselors under the three princes, Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhao Kuangyin, believed that this time the Jin army could not come to seize territory.
Based on the current situation of the Jin Army, early intervention in the Central Plains, a place of four wars, can even be said to be a quagmire of war. It will definitely not be of any benefit to the Jin Army itself!
Not to mention that if the Jin army was not prepared to launch a large-scale battle, it would not be possible to seize all the territory in Yuan Shu's hands. At most, it would only seize part of it. But even if the Jin army could seize all of Yuan Shu's territory, it would only gain temporary benefits and endanger future development.
If Li Xiang is really so short-sighted and only covets such short-term interests without considering the long-term development of the situation, then these counselors will be happy!
Of course, if Li Xiang is really that short-sighted, he is not qualified to develop his power to the extent it is today, and even become the strongest prince in the world, and may even force the remaining princes in the world to join forces. Hands to deal with him. Judging from this point, the counselors of these princes do not think that Li Xiang will come to seize the territory of the Central Plains now.
However, speculation is speculation. Just in case, after the meeting, they finally discussed sending a so-called envoy to Nanyang to test Li Xiang's tone.
