Yinling, with the defeat of Ji Ling and captured, Shouchun no longer had any danger to defend, and even did not wait for Liu Bei to lead the army to arrive, Shouchun defenders had already fled most of them, Yuan Shao had no choice but to flee to Yinling under the leadership of Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others, but tens of thousands of troops in Jiujiang, but when they fled to Yinling, there were less than 1,000 people, plus the Yinling defenders, there were barely 2,000 people.

It's not how strong Liu Bei is, but now, most people have seen that Yuan Shu's defeat is imminent, the army's morale is scattered, the generals have surrendered, and the people's hearts are ...... doesn't exist, Yuan Shu himself rarely asks about these things, anyway, people are alive, aren't they all the same.

Therefore, until now, Yuan Shu didn't know how a strong city like Shouchun could be broken? He didn't hold out for even a day, and was almost captured alive by his own men.

Sun Ce has ordered Chen Wu to land and quickly occupy Hefei, Cao Cao also ordered Le Jin and Yu Ban to lead their troops to seize Hefei, this place is very important to Cao Cao or Sun Ce, who occupies it, he seized the initiative to attack the other party, of course, Sun Ce has the Yangtze River moat, even if Cao Cao takes Hefei, he only has the opportunity to attack the Lujiang River, and it is also the main line of defense to defend Jiangdong, with this city, Sun Ce wants to attack it is not easy.

Sun Ce naturally understands this truth, so this time it is a land and water advance, and he is bound to take Hefei, as for Yuan Shu, no one cares, only Liu Bei is still continuing to prepare for the final general attack, if Yin Ling is down, Yuan Shu will be a homeless dog even if he runs away, and with Yuan Shu's current situation, Yin Ling obviously can't support it for too long.

The general Ji Ling was captured, although he did not surrender, but without him, Yuan Shu's subordinates could hardly find a decent general to fight against Liu Bei, just watching Liu Bei attack like this, he couldn't even go out of the city to defend against the enemy, and watched Liu Bei encircle the Yin Tomb.

"General Cen!" Yin Ling, in Liu Bei's account, Liu Bei has already recruited Cen Bi.

"What did the general call me?" Cen Bi maintained due respect for Liu Bei, Liu Bei has always had enough skills in winning people's hearts, at least he will not be too hated.

"Now Yuan Shu is at the end of the road, but after all, after all, after the three dukes, I don't want to be humiliated, now the war has ended, borrow the son's three thousand soldiers and horses to return, if the general is willing, he can make people enter the city to persuade, now Cao Cao and Sun Ce are fighting in Hefei, there is no time to take care of this for the time being, if the general can persuade Yuan Shu to leave, he can take three thousand soldiers and horses to escort him north, and this is the only thing he can do." Liu Bei looked at Cen Bi with a sincere face.

"Thank you, General!" Cen Bi hurriedly saluted, and then said with some doubts: "I don't know ...... general."

"Stay here, so that General Cen can take Yuan Shu away, otherwise there will be trouble." Liu Bei smiled and said, Yuan Tan's 3,000 soldiers and horses naturally have to be returned, these people are all in the north, it is impossible to follow him, and he has now recruited a lot of surrendered troops, plus the 2,000 Xuzhou troops raised by Mi Zhu for him, it can be regarded as some family background, so as to defect to Liu Biao, at least he can have some foothold in Jingzhou.

As for the matter between Cao Cao and Sun Ce, he was not ready to interfere.

"If this trip can be successful, I will definitely show the merits of the general to Gongzi!" After Cen Bi saluted again, he bowed and retired.

Yuan Shu is now at the end of his rope, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and even Cao Cao's background, in Yuan Shu's eyes, it is not on the stage, and now that he has been defeated by these people, Yuan Shu's arrogant spirit has also dissipated a lot, for going to Hebei to join Yuan Shao, if it was placed ten years ago, it would almost be unimaginable, but now, it is not unacceptable.

Therefore, Yuan Shu walked very happily, Cen Bi led the soldiers and horses to escort Yuan Shu to Guangling into Xuzhou overnight, and rushed to Qingzhou from Xuzhou, and Liu Bei broke through Yinling, Yuan Shu was nowhere to be found, but Liu Bei's credit was really won.

In the Hefei area, Sun Ce took the lead in occupying Hefei, although Cao Cao increased his troops one after another, he also failed to grab Hefei, and now Liu Bei has completely eliminated Yuan Shu's forces, he can't take Hefei for a while, and he doesn't want to start a full-scale war with Jiangdong at this time, so he had to temporarily truce, and Sun Ce took Hefei as the boundary, and ordered Lejin to stay in Shouchun and lead the army back to the court.

Liu Bei's willingness to return to the dynasty with Cao Cao to be crowned was quite surprising to Cao Cao.

"Lord, Liu Bei is here, he must have a plan, this person has great ambitions, he is a hero of the world, he will become a trouble for a long time, and the minister thinks that he should wait for the opportunity to kill him!" Guo Jia bowed to Liu Bei.

"No." Cheng Yu shook his head on the side and said: "Now the name of killing the monarch has not been cleared, and the lord has issued a recruitment list, Liu Bei has always been popular, and this time he has the credit of destroying Yuan Shu, if he kills him, he is afraid of losing the hope of the world, Yu thinks that this person should be imprisoned in Suiyang, high-ranking officials and beautiful food, in order to destroy his ambition, and then gradually eat away at his subordinates to break his wings." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "This person kills me with a bad reputation, so I will follow Zhongde's plan." ”

Under Liu Bei, there is Chen Gong, Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals, if it is not too late, maybe there is a place for it today, but unfortunately, there is no if in this world, today's Liu Bei is not a worry for Cao Cao, and it is not a big trouble, killing it humiliates his reputation, it is better to raise it, the former princes, now in Suiyang high-ranking officials Houlu, for other princes, it is also an example, at least when it can really be defeated, it will not resist to the death.

Guo Jia nodded, he asked Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu, it was calculated that Liu Bei must have a plan here, whether he killed Yuan Shu or took over Yuan Shu's territory, there was a way to deal with it, but Liu Bei didn't jump in, but he got the merit of destroying Yuan Shu, and now killing Liu Bei again is indeed a bit reluctant, and it is also a good way to be imprisoned in Suiyang.

It's just that Chen Gong must be separated from Liu Bei, and with this person here, he always feels that it is a trouble.

The Jian'an era name can no longer be used after Liu Xie's death, Cao Cao's side uses Tianyou as the year name, and Chen Mo's side records the year with the Han Dynasty.

The news of Yuan Shu's defeat came, it was not a big deal for Chen Mo, with Yuan Shu's family background as the emperor, it was not unusual for Chen Mo to fall so quickly.

At the beginning of the new emperor, there are many things to be busy in the court, but for Chen Mo, it is relatively leisurely, he has been building the imperial court, except for the three princes and nine secretaries, other official positions have been adjusted, today's imperial court, although there are three princes and nine secretaries, but the real power has moved to Shangshuling, and now it is Li Ru who is in charge of Shangshuling, Chen Mo is in charge of military power, under Liu Neng's repeated requests, Chen Mo accepted the imperial court reward and took over the position of general, after all, Sun Ce has become a general, with Chen Mo's status today, it is not surprising to be a general.

"The Son of Heaven is quite clever in this move, nominally promoting the lord to a general, but he does not have the right to record the affairs of the lord and the lord, and he is called promotion, but in fact he wants to elevate the lord." In the general's mansion, Li Ru found Chen Mo, who was teaching the children.

Although the Son of Heaven promoted Chen Mo to the general this time, he did not give the right to record Shangshushi, the right to record Shangshu is very important, the Han Dynasty has not set up a prime minister since Guangwu, and Lushang Shushi has the right to lead the government, whether it is the third duke or the general, if there is no such thing in front of the name, it is a false position, and no matter how high the official position is, it is useless.

The general is known as the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, but in fact he is separated from the army, and only the military power of the Beijing Division is really controlled, the five colonels of the Northern Army, Guangluxun, Captain Sili, and Captain Yulin are all under the jurisdiction of Chen Mo, but like those generals who guard the border passes outside the Beijing Division, they are nominally not under the jurisdiction of the general.

In other words, after Chen Mo took over as the general, nominally, the real generals of the army such as Tai Shici, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, and even Xu Huang and Yu Sheng will no longer be under Chen Mo's jurisdiction.

"If it's as expected, there should be people in the court who want to replace the side generals in the next few days." Chen Mo motioned for Chen Zheng to go and play with his brother, knelt on the mat, and smiled.

"Hmm." Li Ru nodded, it is only the first step to put Chen Mo in the position of general, and then it is time to take over Chen Mo's military power, Hua Xiong, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Yu Sheng, Gao Shun, I am afraid that they will be seized or incorporated step by step, if Chen Mo does not react, I am afraid that his military power will be eroded little by little.

This Son of Heaven didn't know whether to say that he was powerful or stupid, and he wanted to get involved in Chen Mo's military power as soon as he came up.

"You prepare a piece of music, and present it to the Son of Heaven tomorrow morning, since Zhao Lan, the court captain, has not established an inch of success, but he has privately gathered family wealth, which is really illegal, and the evidence will be sent later, take him down first." Chen Mo smiled.

This Zhao Lan has been very close to the Son of Heaven recently, and these people obviously don't understand that the reason why Chen Mo pushed them to the throne at the beginning was not because of how powerful they were, but because these people had a reputation and could help him stabilize the court structure and limit the functions of the court on Cao Cao's side.

Now that Liu Xie is dead, each family supports the Son of Heaven, the greatest use of these people is gone, if they settle down, Chen Mo will not move them for a while, but these people are trying to seize power with the Son of Heaven, so let's change someone.

"Then the position of the court lieutenant ......," Li Ru asked with a frown.

"The history of the state is full of favor, during his tenure, he is sympathetic to the people, and the laws of the state are strict, the people live in peace, and the harvest is bumper every year, and his merits are enough to enter the court, so he is invited to enter the court and be promoted to the captain, as for the appointment of the history of the state assassin, he will be replaced by Guo Yi." Chen Mo obviously had a plan.

If today's son wants to take power, he can only win over the family, and Chen Mo will transfer the full favor back, firstly, because the full favor has been governing well in Bingzhou for many years, and it is time to be promoted, and secondly, he also wants to suppress these families with the full favor, the full favor is notoriously cold, Chen Mo needs such a knife now to cut off Liu Neng's dishonest hand.

Zhao Lan is only the first, and next, Sangong Jiuqing has to plow again, and let this new genius be honest, he doesn't want to go out one day, and someone in the rear will drag him back.

"Whoa!"
