Chapter 185: The New "First Prince of the World"
Chen Qun wants to put pressure on Chen Xi, Chen Xi doesn't know at all, even if he knows, he will hehe twice, Xun Yu's person Chen Xi will feel very entangled, but Chen Qun's words, Chen Xi really doesn't have much pressure, smart is smart, but that's it, there is still a line of separation from the top handful, then again, that line of separation is enough to make Chen Qun's brilliance covered by Xun Yu at all.
Hawkers, a character who can only live in the shadow of Xun Yu when Xun Yu is alive, Chen Xi said that he is not qualified to wrestle with himself at all, after all, in the current form, his position of Chen Zichuan and Xun Yu is equal, as for Chen Qun, you still have to play with Lu Su, who is my Chen Zichuan's right-hand man, soldier to soldier, king to king, you are not qualified enough!
Of course, if Chen Xi knew about Chen Qun's recent small actions, it would be even more contemptible, if the small actions could let Xun Yu go, unless Cao Mengde didn't need this person, otherwise don't say that Xun Yu was upright, even if he couldn't find anyone like Guo Jia, Cao Cao would not let people unload his right-hand man.
As for whether Chen Qun can let go of Xun Yu, Chen Xi can only sigh and say that he is daydreaming, if Chen Qun comes earlier than Xun Yu, he may be able to wrestle with Xun Yu, of course, it is very likely that he will be overturned by Xun Yu and Xun Yu's uncle and nephew in the end, but whether it is this time or Chen Qun in history, he came later than Xun Yu.
A guy who is not as capable as the other party and has not shared the hardships with his boss can let go of a character who shares the hardships with his boss, is extremely capable, is decent, and has friends all over the world? This is even more outrageous than a dream!
Because of this, when Chen Xi saw the information that Chen Qun had joined Cao Cao, he could only silently express his sorrow for Chen Qun. Even if Chen Qun took the Yingchuan counties as the step to advance this time, and joined much earlier than the original history, the Chen family also vigorously supported Cao Cao behind him. But Chen Xi knew very well that even if all these methods worked, Chen Qun could only maintain a temporary glory.
There is no way that there are too many overlaps in the abilities of Chen Qun and Xun Yu, and more importantly, Chen Qun's governance, that is, the ability that Cao Mengde needs most, is completely Xun Yu who has shrunk, you said that you encountered this situation. How should Cao Cao choose? Probably not stupid, he will choose to give Chen Qun a high position, and the real power is still in Xun Yu's hands.
On the other side, Yuan Shu has already returned to Xiangyang, and Jiangxia County has been handed over to the broken queen. Sun Ce, who killed 3,000 enemies and captured more than 10,000 prisoners, also acquiesced in the 5,000 soldiers that Sun Ce had brought from the ship before, and incorporated them all into Sun Ce's troops. Naturally, Sun Ce was pleasantly surprised. said that he would definitely guard the cities around Jiangxia and Hanyang.
"Lord, the latest information in Yuzhou, Liu Beijun, who occupied the four counties of Yuzhou before, has all retreated, except for Chen Zichuan in the middle road, who is still in the hinterland of Yuzhou, the other two roads have reached the edge of Yuzhou, and they will withdraw from Yuzhou at any time, and the middle road is also slowly retreating." Yang Hong lowered his head and informed Yuan Shu of the latest information.
"Liu Bei retreated?" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. In this way, he did not lose his hometown in Yuzhou, and originally thought that there would be a fierce battle after he returned to Nanyang. Unexpectedly, Liu Beijun actually retreated.
"Lord, we were too anxious before, forgetting that Liu Xuande had no way to occupy Yuzhou, his foundation is in Mount Tai, and he has newly accepted Qingzhou, and it is enough to be able to barely defeat our left-behind troops It is enough to see its strength, but the battle line in Yuzhou is too long for Liu Xuande, and the lord has a popular heart in Yuzhou, defeating a state and occupying a state The troops needed are completely different things, unless Liu Xuande is willing to invest about 150,000 to 200,000 troops in Yuzhou, in order to suppress the rebound of the local forces in Yuzhou." Yang Hong said with a wry smile, and he still has something to say.
"So, we shouldn't retreat?" Yuan Shu stared at Yang Hong and asked, furious!
"Lord, Liu Xuande's situation also appeared on us, our strength in Yuzhou has no way to completely swallow so much land, even if we defeat Jiangling, we don't have the strength to defend so many places! It can be said that our current forces are already stretched! Yang Hong reluctantly explained to Yuan Shu, he suspected that Yuan Shu didn't know how much territory he had now.
"We're stretched thin?" Yuan Shu asked in surprise, not finding this problem at all.
"My lord, we seem to have only occupied Nanjun and Jiangxia, but originally we didn't completely control Nanyang County, Liu Biao mixed a lot of sand in it, and now Nanyang has been occupied by our side, and when we swept Jingxiang, Jiujiang and Lujiang counties have already dedicated their land to be called vassals." Yang Hong had a touch of pride on his face, he didn't expect that there would be such a good opportunity to take down the two counties in one fell swoop when he went to Jiujiang Lujiang to mix sand.
"What?" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, "Hahahaha, sure enough, my Yuan Highway is the destiny of heaven, Ziheng has done a good job, with these two counties, the land of Yuzhou and the land of Jingbei are completely connected, and there is no danger of separation!" ”
"Congratulations, my lord!" Yang Hong was also happy.
"In that case, let's stop the army for the time being, let him Liu Jingsheng live a few more days, well, appease Sun Bofu's feelings, don't let him think crookedly, by the way, let Feng go and teach me a lesson Cao Apu, by the way, bring me the head of the Chen family head over, and dare to rob me Yingchuan while I'm away!" When Yuan Shu was in a good mood, he was also good, and he had newly acquired several counties, and Yuan Shu also felt the need to recuperate, but he didn't forget to clean up Cao Cao.
For Liu Bei, the intelligence collected from all aspects conveys a message, this guy's strength is not weak at all, and in Yuan Shu's opinion, the other party is quite interesting, and he didn't get along with him, so he can only clean up Cao Cao and the troublesome Yingchuan Chen family.
After all, it is not Yuan Shu's style to be beaten and not fight back, Liu Xuande can't catch up, but you Cao Apu still dare to occupy my Yingchuan after I come back, and don't give you a little color Look at Yuan Shu, I feel really sorry for myself, the new prince who is the number one prince in the world.
"Ziheng, send Zhang Xun and others to return to Yuzhou as soon as possible, reorganize the army, recruit recruits for on-the-spot training, and by this time next year, I want to see 150,000 recruits!" Yuan Shu said arrogantly, although Yuzhou was plundered by Liu Bei, but with Yuzhou's strong foundation, there would not be much of a problem at all, which Yuan Shu firmly believed.
"Whoa!" Yang Hong's quick bookkeeping record.
"Be kind to the Qiao Rui family! Alas, although he was a little hangy when he was alive, he still relied on him to stand up in times of danger and told his family that Qiao Rui's eldest son could take over Qiao Rui's position when he became an adult! Yuan Shu added again, although he did not keep the peace, but he fought to the death to protect the Yuan family, which is a righteous person like Yuan Shu, who can't pass the hurdle if he doesn't settle the matter behind Qiao Rui.
