"The battle situation at the border of Jizhou seems to be okay, but compared with Xiaozhi, Yuanzhi is still a little under-trained." Chen Xi casually put aside the intelligence sent from the north.
"The current situation is the best outcome. A confrontation between the two sides is better than fighting and wasting troops." Jia Xu looked at the information sent by Fa Zheng and was quite satisfied. At least he made a fortune before leaving. .
Although there is no need to elaborate on Fazheng, Jia Xu can feel the conspiracy theory part of it, but the enemy's conspiracy theory is really good, and he will take advantage of it, so there is nothing to say.
"Recently, intelligence from northern Youzhou has also come in. The traitor I inserted under Yuan Tan's command also got first-hand information. Xianbei went south, but Yuan Tan is more capable than we thought." After gathering the intelligence, he raised his head and said .
"By saying that, does it mean that Yuan Tan sent troops to the north?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow and said, although they have almost no effort now, but even so, Yuan Tan can still squeeze out a little strength to go to the north, which is also a kind of I'm capable.
"When Shen Pei went to the north in person, he was followed by an army of 7,000 people." Jia Xu calmly handed the latest information to Chen Xi and said.
"Yuyangqi River is indeed a good place, and seven thousand people is indeed a large army. However, the Xianbei people are not stupid, why should they fight there?" Chen Xi said with a sneer, the cavalry The most difficult thing to deal with is mobility.
Even if Xianbei cannot defeat the Han Dynasty, as long as Xianbei is shameless and does not engage in close combat with the Han Dynasty, it will be very difficult for the Han Dynasty to win. An army of 7,000 people under the command of Shen Pei is indeed enough to defeat tens of thousands of Xianbei, but Xianbei cannot defeat the Han Dynasty. Why do I want to fight with you there? Is there something wrong with my brain?
"It's just a matter of doing our best to maintain the popularity of the people of Youzhou. Otherwise, they will be completely defeated and may even throw dirty water on us." Li You said with a sneer.
"Well, it's not dirty water. This matter does have something to do with us, but it's nothing. Everything will be clear after Youzhou is pacified." Chen Xi said indifferently, "By the way, I heard that Sun Bofu's envoy coming."
"Well, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zigang are here." Lu Su said without raising his head, "I'm here to discuss the bank matter with you. It's up to you."
Speaking of this, I can't help but mention Lu Su's psychology. Lu Su also knew about Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's disobedience to Liu Bei. You must know that even Lu Su, who was just a powerful man, actually didn't think much of it. Liu Bei came here to settle down.
But sometimes life is more important than ability. Lu Su was scolded by his grandmother. No matter he was happy or not, he came, so now he is the right-hand man of Liu Bei, the overlord of the world, and an indispensable role in the rule of the world.
As for Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao, it took three years. Although they are now protected by Sun Ce, compared with the current Lu Su and others, the gap is already very big.
"Should I talk to him?" Chen Xi thought for a while, "Forget it, just find someone who can take charge of the matter and go see Zhang Hong. Where is Jiang Gongyan? Let him go and explain our conditions to him. If you are willing If you do it, do it; if you don¡¯t want to do it, pull it down.¡±
"I thought you would entertain him like the envoy Cao Mengde did." Lu Su said in surprise. You must know that Chen Xi treated Liu Ba very politely, and even opened the library to Liu Ba. How could he get to Zhang Hong's side? The difference is so big.
"It's nothing. As for Liu Ba, he is half one of us now. Even under Cao Cao's rule, he can't convey any news to us due to his moral integrity, but he can still do a lot, and he can be regarded as a malleable talent. "Chen Xi shrugged and said.
Speaking of which, Liu Ba is still with Liu Bei and is studying more deeply about bank operations. Of course, this means that Liu Ba actually knows everything he should know.
Liu Ba is now observing Liu Bei more. By the way, it may be that Chen Xi's crushing ability made Liu Ba realize it. Now he has no interest in helping others to dominate. Instead, he is interested in Chen Xi's proposal for a unified empire. I am very interested in carrying out plans to enrich the people.
Chen Xi is also sure that Liu Ba is basically harmless. Although there is no possibility of betrayal due to the opponent's integrity, it is basically guaranteed that Liu Ba will give him a push on the road to reunification when necessary. Cao Cao is a hero, but Liu Bei in this life He is also an outstanding person.
"It's just a pity that Liu Zichu and Cao Mengde met each other." Chen Xi said helplessly, "But it's okay. If Liu Zichu speaks when necessary, it will touch Cao Mengde more. To be honest, people above Yuan Benchu's level really shouldn't consumed in the civil war."
"If I had known that the world was so vast and the heroes of the Central Plains were trapped in a small corner, they should have jumped out of the cage long ago."There is indeed some truth to the fact that they are all the whetstones for the strongest, but it is a pity that they have not been seen outside the Central Plains. "
"His whetstone theory was taught to Xuande Gong." Chen Xi thought of the nonsense in the middle of the Yellow River, when Jia Xu killed Xin Ping directly with a crossbow.
"It's better not to talk about this. Ziyang said that Cao Cao has new news. It seems that he doesn't want us to take Youzhou smoothly." Jia Xu said after closing the file and looking at everyone.
"Up to now, no one who has ambitions in the world wants Xuande to take Youzhou, and those who also want to be the emperor don't want Xuande to take Youzhou, but Cao Mengde dares to send troops?" Chen Xi said with a sneer.
"Cao Mengde alone is just an offensive, but I'm afraid Sun Bofu will not be at peace." Li You suddenly raised his head and said.
"This is also expected. Sun Bofu also has capable people under his command, so he knows what to do. However, General Guan and Fengxiao are both in Yuzhou. Xiuruo and Yuanlong are their backup forces, not to mention Xingba and Ziyi. They are all south of the Yangtze River's estuary." Chen Xi nodded and said he knew.
Speaking of which, Chen Xi was the most defensive against Sun Ce. Not to mention Cao Cao, Cao Cao himself was a calm and wise character most of the time. But as for Sun Ce, never guess what a second-rate person is thinking, especially this second-rate person. With goods, money and food, there is no shortage of people.
Therefore, Chen Xi was very defensive against Sun Ce. Guan Yu, Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Guo Jia, Xun Yan, and Chen Deng were blocked on the other side of the Yangtze River. If Sun Ce really dared to mobilize the entire Jiangdong force to attack Yuzhou, he would have to turn back. Chen Xi mobilized Yizhou's troops to pacify Yangzhou.
In short, in Chen Xi¡¯s previous plan, the military forces deployed in the south should be able to coordinate with Yizhou when necessary, just like destroying Yuan Shao with one final decision.
You must know that the force deployed in Yuzhou is no less than the force deployed in the north to suppress Youzhou. If Sun Ce didn't take action, why would Chen Xi use so much force in Yuzhou?
