"Thirty miles back." Xu Shu smiled bitterly and suggested to Wei Yan, in the case that the strategy is at a disadvantage in an all-round way, and the other party has not yet engaged in a head-to-head battle, don't say that the strength itself is inferior to the other party, even if the strength is superior, it is still hanging.

"That's all it can be." Wei Yan looked helpless, Xu Shu had already told him that he was not the opponent of the other party, but than the front, the other party was not Xu Shu's opponent, the problem was that the other party's goal was to hold the first line in the north of Zhongshan, what was the point of having a hard encounter with Xu Shu?

"Alas, our original goal was to rely on weak forces to attract superior forces in Jizhou, so that they could not look north." Xu Shu said with a wry smile.

"As a result, I don't want Jizhou to use this to counter us and others, directly invest far more troops than we estimated, fight with us as quickly as possible, and force us to give up this opportunity." On the other side, Fa Zheng also pressed his temples and explained to Huang Zhong with a depressed face.

Since Fa Zheng came out of the mountain, which time has not been smooth sailing, and even forced Yuzhou, and Zhou Yu was almost at his pace that time, but this time before he could deploy it, let alone achieve the strategic goal, he was forced to retreat before it was opened.

Yecheng has entered the bright spring season at this time, although there will occasionally be a little spring cold or something, but on the whole it has begun to warm, and spring ploughing or something can start immediately.

"Well, Xiaozhi and Yuanzhi were actually repulsed, Yuan Tan is quite okay." Chen Xi was slightly surprised after reading the information Jia Xu gave him, although Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's troops were only one legion, but it was indeed beyond Chen Xi's expectations to retreat so quickly.

"It's normal, if it's me. Now we will definitely choose to fight for huge losses, first let us breathe for a while, and then fight to the death. At least it's possible to catch your breath. Jia Xu said cautiously.

However, Jia Xu didn't say a word, Liu Bei's strategy. Now the princes of the world are estimated to know it in their hearts, not to mention anything else, Liu Bei alone wants to retain the vitality of the Central Plains, which is enough for many princes to calculate, Yuan Tan is clearly fighting for population consumption.

"Our original goal wasn't to lay those two now." Chen Xi propped up his head and said half-thinkingly.

"If from the previous strategic point of view, Xiaozhi and Yuanzhi have done a very good job, successfully dragging Yuan Shaojun's superior forces on the front line of Zhongshan and Youzhou." Jia Xu nodded and said.

"Yuan Tan has stationed more than 100,000 troops on the front line of Youzhou, but this is not enough. Yuan Tan's strength has not been squeezed to the limit, what do you think, Wen He? Chen Xi thought about it and said, Jia Xu had already said it very thoroughly.

"General Xiaoguan and General Sun each led 3,000 people to aid Wenchang and Hansheng, and Zang Xuangao led another army to the north." Jia Xu said with a cold expression, "I don't ask for a large-scale attack, I only ask to attract the opponent's main force to the front line of Youzhou." ”

"It's about the same as I thought." Chen Xi smiled, "Anyway, our purpose is to make Yuan Tan have no soldiers available, just drag it out." I don't believe that our army is on the border of Youzhou, and he can still transfer troops to defend the north. ”

"Wen Ru has already submitted this information to the lord, and it is not surprising that Wen Ru will be the same as my proposal, and Xuande Gong should copy an official document to you soon." Jia Xu does things without leakage. He came over to present it to Chen Xi, and Li You went to present it to Liu Bei.

As Jia Xu said, it didn't take long for Liu Bei to send an official document to Chen Xi. asked Chen Xi if he wanted to make adjustments, and then looked at it. In addition to replacing Sun Kang with Yin Li, the number of soldiers and horses was increased from 3,000 to 4,500. It doesn't make much difference.

Naturally, Chen Xi didn't make any adjustments, just calculated the money and grain, and then asked Jia Xu to send it to Lu Su by the way, and let him call the grain and grass.

Not long after, Zang Ba and others led the army to the front line of Youzhou in three ways, and the clouds of war were once again dense in the entire Central Plains.

Since Yuan Shao died in Yanzhou, Liu Bei's pace of reunification has stagnated, and this time it seems that Liu Bei has once again taken the step of reunification, and the few remaining princes in the world are all shocked.

"Ha, we probably scared others!" Chen Xi and Liu Bei stood at the head of the city to watch Zang Ba and the others go to the front line of Youzhou, this time the people who went were not mainly engaged in a tragic war, but to maintain the threat to Yuan Tan.

"Surprised?" Liu Bei smiled and said, "But soon they will know that we haven't done anything, we are just threatening Yuan Tan with our troops." ”

"It's not that I didn't do it, it can only be said that I used the least strength to get the greatest benefit, and after this battle, the Yuan family in Hebei will be completely closed." Chen Xi sighed, "After that, we can beat the war drum of unity." ”

"yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast." Liu Bei said with emotion, "But the world is so vast, construction is more complicated than unification, and Zichuan should not be lazy when the time comes." ”

"I'm not lazy." Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and resolutely denied what Liu Bei said.

"Hahaha, that's probably because the nine-tailed foxes are so lazy, so lazy that they don't want to open their eyes when they squat in place." Liu Bei laughed.

In the past, Liu Bei would still worry about whether Chen Xi was doing too much, overworked, and looking tired, but now, Liu Bei can say with certainty that Chen Xi is lazy......

glanced at Liu Bei sideways, and felt that Liu Bei's face was almost full of "Although I don't know how you work, I dare to guarantee that you are indeed lazy", Chen Xi really didn't know what to say.

"Probably the nine-tailed fox prefers to rest." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, resolutely not admitting that I am lazy, I must be working hard, wandering around knowledge because I am researching.

"Wen Ru has been working hard recently, and I realized that one person can handle so many things so quickly." Liu Bei consciously diverted the topic and changed to Li You.

"In fact, Wenhe has been working hard recently, dealing with intelligence, as well as implementing Ma Zheng, improving the intelligence system of the Central Plains, and implementing intensive cultivation." Chen Xi remembered Li You's tragic appearance recently, Li You and Jia Xu haven't touched too much recently, so Chen Xi is more attracted to firepower.

However, Liu Bei's transformation plan for Chen Xi is equivalent to having no effect, because Chen Xi is the supervisor on Chen Xi's side of government affairs, and if it doesn't work, Li You and Lu Su will be bitter, and by the way, Yi and Chen Zhen are very easy to use, and it is not bad to check and fill the gaps.

"Alas, Zichuan, you also work a little harder, you see that Wen Ru and Wen He have been working overtime recently......" Liu Bei said Here he suddenly raised his head, it seems that Li You and Jia Xu have worked two extra shifts together, and I can't help but scold in my heart, these two guys are quite capable of fooling.
