Chapter 581: The Situation in the North
Li Ye said respectfully: "Lord, the north is now mainly divided into three battlefields, one is Youzhou, Yuan Shao's Han Meng and Xu Yu fought against Liaodong Gongsun Du, there is no problem with the battlefield here, Han Meng and Xu You are extremely strong, one is the Ning Gang Realm, the other is the Void Soul Realm, and Gongsun Du has only one person, even if there are many cavalry under his command, but Yuan Shao also formed a lot of Youzhou Raiders after taking Youzhou, and no one on both sides can help anyone now. ”
"The second battlefield is the giant deer, Lu Bu took Chen Gong and the eight strong generals under his command, and now he has completely taken Changshan and Julu, and he could have taken advantage of the situation to kill Yecheng, but Yan Liang broke through in the battle, and with the dispatch of the trial and others in the middle, he forcibly blocked Lu Bu in the giant deer, and he couldn't take the next step south."
"The third battlefield is Bohai, Liu Bei raised 50,000 troops and poured out, and Guan Yu under his command has confirmed that he has broken through to the Xuanchang Realm, but Yuan Shao's side, Wen Chou was also transferred to Bohai by Yuan Shao after breaking through the Xuanxuan Realm, and at the same time, he also went to Bohai, plus Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Dong Zhao, who were originally in Bohai, although Yuan Shao's side of Bohai temporarily fell into disadvantage, Liu Bei couldn't take it in a short time."
Yuan Shao frowned, how could the fight in the north be so fierce, it was a little unexpected for him.
"Shi'an, who do you think will win this scuffle?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know who can be the final winner, but the last general can be sure of one thing, Yuan Shao will definitely lose." ”
Listening to Li Ye's very firm tone, Yuan Yao was also a little puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Li Yedao: "Of the four princes in the north, Yuan Shao's strength is indeed the strongest, but he is too big, and he is only a little worse than Yuan Shao in the strength of the three major princes, especially Lu Bu and Liu Bei. If Yuan Shao can pay some price at this time and let one of the parties retreat, then with Yuan Shao's strength, it is definitely not a problem to achieve the final victory, but with Yuan Shao's character, such a situation will basically not happen. ”
Yuan Yao nodded, he also knows Yuan Shao very well, this person is a little capable, but his personality is very problematic, indecisive and self-serving, it is difficult to listen to other people's words, although at this time Yuan Shao has many civil and military forces, and now it can be regarded as one heart, but to be honest, in the face of Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Du, Yuan Yao does not think that Yuan Shao can have any chance.
However, Yuan Yao didn't dare to underestimate Yuan Shao, this melee was a big difficulty for Yuan Shao, but as long as Yuan Shao got through this difficulty, then his strength would get a huge leap, and he would definitely be able to become the first prince in the north.
Yuan Yao now has some confidence in the future situation, and now among the many princes in the world, it is certain that his position with Cao Cao is basically unshakeable, as for Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and Sun Quan, they are in a corner of peace, and they are not to be feared.
And in this way, Yuan Yao did not want Yuan Shao to win, once Yuan Shao won, Lu Bu and Liu Bei will not be able to stop Yuan Shao's expansion, and once Yuan Shao integrates the forces of the four northern states, he will definitely be able to form a three-legged situation with him and Cao Cao.
Such a situation is not what Yuan Yao wants to see. Therefore, what Yuan Yao hopes most for the north is that Yuan Shao will be defeated and let Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Gongsun Du divide Yuan Shao's territory. However, Yuan Yao and Yuan Shao are from the same family after all, and Yuan Yao can't do such a blatant thing.
Of course, you can't do it openly, but secretly Yuan Yao can still use some means.
"Shi'an, you should understand what kind of situation I want in the north."
Li Ye has been by Yuan Yao's side for a long time, so he naturally understands what Yuan Yao is thinking, but Yuan Yao can't do such a thing, otherwise it will damage Yuan Yao's reputation, so he can only do it. Yuan Yao asked him to take charge of Black Moon Tower for such a thing in the first place.
Li Ye bowed his head and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”
Li Ye already had a plan in his heart, and immediately started to work on this matter after he was ready to go down, the four princes in the north are now fighting, although the situation is very unfavorable for Yuan Shao, but with Yuan Shao's background, it is no problem to support it for a while. The real decisive victory will inevitably occur next year, and this year is about to enter winter, and it is estimated that the possibility of a temporary truce between several parties is relatively large, and this also gives Li Ye room to maneuver.
When Yuan Yao and Li Ye were talking, they had already arrived at the school barracks. Yuan Yao now has five major legions, each with 50,000 people, except for Gan Ning's fifth legion, which is the naval army, and the remaining four major legions are located in the four states of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou that Yuan Yao now governs. And this is the Second Army led by Xu Chu.
In fact, Xu Chu is more suitable to be a fierce general or personal escort who charges into battle, but Yuan Yao formed the five major legions, and the main general of the legion needs at least a strong person at the bloodline phantom level to serve, so he can only let Xu Chu go. But fortunately, Xu Chu's second legion is located in Yuzhou, which is more equivalent to the existence of the escort army, and when the second legion needs to be used, it is either to defend the city or to fight on a large scale, and Xu Chu is not needed to command the battle.
After talking to the guards, he asked the barracks guards to go in and report it, and almost a moment later, Yuan Yao saw a wall suddenly appear in front of him, almost obscuring the sunlight in front of Yuan Yao.
"The last general, Xu Chu, has seen the lord!"
Yuan Yao dismounted, helped Xu Chu up, and said, "General Xu doesn't need to be polite, I just came to see it this time." ”
Xu Chu actually didn't care about those red tapes, and at this moment, he got Yuan Yao's intention, which was to welcome Yuan Yao into the barracks. The second legion, in addition to Xu Chu, the main general, the deputy general is the Wuxi barbarian Shamoke, and at this moment, Shamoke is also following behind Xu Chu.
Walking into the barracks, feeling the breath of slaughter and iron blood, Yuan Yao nodded slightly, although Xu Chu is not suitable to be the commander of the three armies, but at least there is no problem in training soldiers.
"Zhong Kang, how is your Fierce Tiger Guard training?"
Since the formation of the five major legions, Yuan Yao asked the generals of the five major legions to start training the battle army, and Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Gao Cang, Pan Feng and Gan Ning also began to form after receiving Yuan Yao's orders. Moreover, the second army is even more special, Yuan Yao also asked Shamoke to train a special army, specially composed of Wuxi barbarians, to create an ace army that fights in the mountains. In order to deal with the three major princes of Sun Quan in Najiaozhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, as well as Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
