Paper cannot cover fire, let alone this paper, which is not intended to cover fire. Therefore, news about Li Mi spread quickly.
And when the news spread, it caused quite a shock throughout the world. Many princes have begun to become suspicious, especially those with more suspicious personalities, for fear that there might be someone like Li Mi under their command!
If such a person really appeared under his command and was attacked at a critical moment, even if he was not thrown into a place of eternal destruction, his vitality would be severely damaged!
Of course, the biggest reaction came from Yuan Shu. According to rumors, the situation that day was quite lively. Yuan Shu was tricked into going back to the palace that day!
Moreover, these two names, Li Mi and Peng Mo, are definitely a huge blow to Yuan Shu's current power! After such an incident, the morale of Yuan Shu's forces began to decline.
Moreover, Xian Zhen's capture caused Yuan Shu's force to lose its last top star.
Originally, Yuan Shu had many famous generals under his command. Pang Juan and Xian Zhen, two right-hand men, were Yuan Shu's biggest guarantee. Wang Zhi and Kuang Zhang, although their demeanor has been obscured a lot because the former two were more favored by Yuan Shu, they still made a lot of military exploits.
It's a pity that as of now, none of these people are here! Wang Zhi and Kuang Zhang had secretly been friends with Jiang Xiaobai. They were even Jiang Xiaobai's people and followed Jiang Xiaobai away. Xian Zhen was captured by the Jin army, and Pang Juan was captured by Zhao Kuangyin!
Pang Juan's ending was also the most lamentable. Not long after, when he learned that Yuan Shu was defeated, he followed Yuan Shu without hesitation. The most important thing was that Zhao Kuangyin's attempt was in vain. If Yuan Shu can gain the loyalty of such a person, he is worthy of being a prince!
In addition to these four people, Pei Xingyan, Pang Nuan and others were compared with the previous four people. There is a slight difference between them!
Chen Jun!
Wang Mang was also in a complicated mood at this time. Jiang Xiaobai didn't know any news at this time, and he didn't know what was going on now, but he finally got himself out of the swamp of Yuan Shu. And Li Mi was hiding deeper than any of them!
Now, Wang Mang had to start thinking about his future!
Originally, he saw that among the princes in the world, only Yuan Shu was the best to deal with, so he thought of using Yuan Shu's body to lay eggs and achieve his rise through Yuan Shu's body.
Although Wang Mang was just an ordinary working class person at the time and didn't know much about history, he also knew about the landmark event of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor.
However, what was Yuan Shu's situation at that time? It is no exaggeration to say that he and Yuan Shao brothers were either the first prince or the other. In the beginning, Cao Cao and Sun Ce had to be younger brothers. Needless to say, Liu Bei is a wandering type!
Even if the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could join forces, maybe there would be nothing wrong with those three families later!
However, what is the situation of Yuan Shu in this world? With such a small territory, Yuan Shu can actually do such a thing as proclaiming emperor. This really shocked Wang Mang and almost made him lose his ability!
Fortunately, neither Wang Mang, nor Jiang Xiaobai, nor Li Mi was the kind of person to give up. Even if there were difficulties, conditions had to be created to overcome them! In short, with their joint efforts and the influence of the general environment at that time, Yuan Shu survived like that, and even the pseudo-dynasty still had some appearance!
But now, reality slapped Wang Mang hard enough to wake him up. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, maybe it was a mistake to choose him from the beginning! Under the current situation, Wang Mang is powerless. Yuan Shu's ship is finally tipped. If he doesn't figure out a way to escape as soon as possible, he may have to die for Yuan Shu in the end.
And with Wang Mang's character, it is of course absolutely impossible for him to be buried with Yuan Shu.
Therefore, he knew that he was also making his choice.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde had sent Jiang Gan to contact him. However, the conditions have not been agreed upon yet, and Wang Mang still has not made the final decision!
But now the situation is different. With Li Mi exposed, Yuan Shu can't hold on for a few days. Therefore, Wang Mang also began to gather at this time.
At this critical moment of negotiating conditions, whichever party is more anxious will be more disadvantageous. Which side is more anxious means which side is more likely to compromise. But the current situation is obviously that Wang Mang is more anxious. Therefore, I am afraid it is time for Wang Mang to make more compromises.
In fact, what Wang Mang didn't know at this time was that Cao Cao was actually very impatient! Among the princes in the world today, even if Cao Cao is not the weakest, he is still ranked at the bottom. It is really difficult for Cao Cao, who is located in the land of the Four Wars, to develop.
Therefore, after finally encountering a great opportunity to share Yuan Shu's cake, he did his best to participate in this war regardless of the fact that he had just suffered a huge defeat.
Even, in order to obtain Yuan Shao's help, Cao Cao reached some agreements with Yuan Shao secretly.
Yes, even though Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu come from the same clan and are even brothers, this does not mean that the relationship between these two people is good. The relationship between these two people can even be described as incompatible.
Regarding Yuan Shu's critical situation, Yuan Shao not only did not have the slightest anxiety or worry, he might even have to take a wine bottle and have a few drinks.
The foundation of the Yuan family is indeed strong enough, but it was abruptly divided into two by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. If these two forces could be concentrated into one, then it would probably be another situation now!
Therefore, regarding Yuan Shu's current situation, Yuan Shao can even be said to be happy to see the results. Apart from anything else, at least the talents of the Yuan family who have taken refuge under Yuan Shu will only belong to him, Yuan Shao, once Yuan Shu is overthrown.
It was for this reason that Yuan Shaocai and Cao Cao secretly reached an agreement. Yuan Shao gave Cao Cao the assistance he wanted, and Cao Cao helped Yuan Shao accomplish this, opening up the road so that after Yuan Shu's death, his inheritance could smoothly come to Jizhou.
Even in order to prevent Cao Cao from resorting to some tricks, Yuan Shao took quite a few precautionary measures under the advice of several counselors below. At least, Cao Cao is now surrounded by several people under Yuan Shao, and they are also one of Yuan Shao's "aids" to Cao Cao. For another example, Cao Pi and several others are temporarily visiting Jizhou for a few days.
