Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 456 - The Chaos in Jingzhou
"It seems that Cao Mengde has done a good job this time, and he should be able to wait for more surprises for me soon!"
Liu Xie's words are already a bit of an afterthought.
For not long after he had finished speaking, the news from the north came again.
After this Yecheng was taken down, Cao Mengde's progress suddenly accelerated a lot.
It's almost crazy!
And after Liu Xie and the others heard these news, Liu Xie and Guo Tu naturally didn't say anything more.
Because they already know very well that this situation is inevitable.
But... Others are different.
That Teng Xuan and Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh and even discuss at this time!
"Hey... Pity the foundation of the Yuan family, just buried in the hands of that junior, if Yuan Shaoquan knows, I don't know if these rebels will be angry to death! ”
"When Yuan Benchu was still alive, his power was very strong.
In the subsequent wars, although it has experienced four major battles of Bingzhou, Liyang, Guandu, and Cangting, and even after a big defeat.
They still have a sufficient foundation, and it can even be said that his Yuan family can make a comeback.
Even if Cao Mengde wanted to rush into Hebei, it would be extremely difficult.
In this way, it can be seen how strong the foundation of his Yuan family was back then, and there will be no shortage of capable generals under their command.
It's just that... What no one in the world expected was.
In the end, this huge foundation was not slowly consumed by Cao Mengde.
In the end, it turned out to be his Yuan family who tossed it away!
Poor Yuan family foundation, in the end, he will die in cannibalism, it is really self-inflicted, and he can't live. ”
Liu Ji is a person who is good at admonishing, and he can't rub sand in his eyes if he is upright.
Now he is even more unpleasant to Guo Tu beside Liu Xie.
In this way, it is clear that it is talking about the foundation of the Yuan family, but in fact, it is not talking about the most combative person under Yuan Shao.
Is that Guo Tu, the Hebei family who is in a dilemma of life and death?
It's just that Guo Tu is thick-skinned, even if he knows that the other party is talking about him, he doesn't mean to answer anything.
"Okay, then I will pay attention to the things in Yuan Shao's family in the future, don't talk about it again and again if the deceased is big.
As for that Cao Mengde... He's where we should be paying attention.
Let's talk about it, what is Cao Mengde's movements, and what do we need to pay attention to? ”
At this time, of course, Liu Xie knew that Liu Ji's purpose was to disgust Guo Tu, and of course he also knew that Guo Tu never cared about this kind of yin and yang words.
The thing he really cares about is very simple, that is, his subordinates don't fight openly.
In case Guo Tu made a move, he was afraid that Liu Ji would not be able to resist...
Therefore, he hurriedly fooled around with two sentences, which were used to interrupt the emotion sent by Liu Ji, and by the way, let him quickly change the topic.
But what I didn't expect was that Liu Ji really didn't seem to hear what he wanted to do.
But he really started talking to himself, talking about the future of the future.... The war to come!
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much.
Although Cao Mengde's battle seemed to pacify the entire territory of Jizhou, after Zhijinwu left, there was no one in Youzhou who could help the Yuan brothers resist the attack.
Na Jiao and Zhang Nan, plus this Yan Rou and the others have already dedicated their dresses to Cao Mengde.
The Gongsun family in Liaodong will not continue to resist to the end.
Yuan Xi was completely defeated in the first battle, and the Wuhuan people were also directly annihilated by the tiger and leopard cavalry and Zhang Liao, the general under Cao Mengde.
The Wuhuan king died in the hands of Zhang Liao, and the 200,000 Wuhuan people were wiped out.
However, although Cao Mengde's prestige seems to have reached its peak at this moment.
But he wasn't completely out of any problems himself!
In Ji's seriousness, he Cao Mengde's problems are many, and it can even be said that they are very serious...."
"Oh?" At this time, Na Guo Tu suddenly screamed, and then interrupted Liu Ji's words like this, and then said to Liu Ji with a smile, "I don't know what's wrong with this Cao Mengde?"
Please also ask this gentleman to be sure to give advice! ”
Guo Tu said this sincerely, but the people present who didn't know what this Guo Tu was, what he meant, the people present couldn't be clearer.
Therefore, Liu Ji glared directly at that Guo Tu, if it weren't for Liu Xie, he would be watching here.
He both had the urge to punch the other man in the face.
And Liu Xie thinks.... He seems to have that urge now, too.
Fortunately, Liu Xie's own prestige is still enough, and Guo Tuming can't find anything wrong with him.
Liu Ji is also not an impulsive person.
Under the eyes of the three of them, Liu Ji finally whispered to Guo Tu.
"Cao Mengde has a lot of questions, to put it simply.... That is, his time is too short at this time.
To tell the truth, today's Cao Mengde has gotten the land of the north but has not gotten the people of the north!
Although the four northern states are majestic, they have been governed by Yuan Shao for many years after all.
As we all know, although Yuan Benchu had many problems, he has always been benevolent in governing the people, especially in the treatment of many families in Hebei.
Therefore, when he was still alive, although there were occasional rebellions, the whole was still quite central to him.
There are also endless people who are willing to die for him.
And Cao Mengde's reputation was not very good, and in order to quickly occupy the north, he did things very explosively.
This back and forth, there will definitely be many thoughts in the hearts of the people of Hebei, so Ji can conclude....
This Cao Mengde may not be popular in the land of Jizhou in the future, and even in the land of the three northern states! ”
After Liu Ji finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows directly at Guo Tu opposite, and then continued to Guo Tu with some provocation.
"I don't know what the problem is with what I just said?
If there is really any problem, then please ask Mr. Guo Tu to give advice! ”
Liu Ji's words were also very polite, and Guo Tu looked at Liu Ji with an aggressive attitude, and finally only showed a smile, and then shook his head slightly and continued to let him continue.
"Mr. Liu Ji is an important minister beside His Majesty, where can the old man have anything to say.
And Mr. Liu has a point... Well... Please keep going! ”
After Guo Tu finished speaking, he nodded directly at Liu Ji.
And Liu Ji couldn't help but sneer, but the next moment his eyes couldn't help but change...
Liu Ji looked at Guo Tu again, and he thought of Guo Tu's words just now.
He allowed himself to continue... But how did he know that he wanted to continue?
That sentence can obviously be ended.
Is it to deceive yourself?
Wrong... Liu Ji knew very well that Guo Tu's attitude just now was very indifferent and very firm!
He knew very well that this was what he meant, and he knew that he hadn't finished his words yet...
Interesting... Liu Ji looked at Guo Tu in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
Then he bowed to Liu Xie, and under Liu Xie's appearance that he wanted to say but didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth again and continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, in fact, just now I want to continue.
This matter is not big for Cao Mengde, and it is not small to say that it is small!
If this matter is normal, then he Cao Mengde can still slowly plan for Jizhou and even Hebei.
Wait until time is used to calm the panic of the people and family forces in Jizhou, slowly recover the hearts of the people of Jizhou, and truly occupy this land of Hebei from now on.
But now it's different, and we all know that Liu Jingsheng's body is declining day by day.
And Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others in the land of Jingzhou have long been in contact with him when they heard about it.
Especially that Cai Mao has always said that Zhang Wennai is his uncle, so as to get the recognition of the Cai family by the world.
And Zhang Wen was recommended by Cao Teng in the great Changqiu back then, and he has always regarded Cao Teng as a benefactor!
Therefore, Cai Mao has always felt that he and Cao Mengde are the real people of his own, so he will definitely tell him all about this Jingzhou matter.
But in this way, Cao Mengde has more things to face.
And he's going to be in a hurry because of it!
First, he wants to stabilize Hebei and even Youzhou, and second, he also knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He categorically couldn't let this huge land of Jingzhou fall into the hands of others, whether it was Liu Xuande, who lived in Jingzhou.
Or the hand of the Jiangdong Sun clan who has been threatening to avenge his father and annex Jingzhou!
At this time, he Cao Mengde will definitely not be at ease to stabilize the three northern states, and he will not be at ease to stabilize the outside of the country, and then continue to go south after gathering people's hearts.
In Ji's eyes, if Cao Mengde was not stupid, he should have taken advantage of this opportunity to directly lead his troops south to attack Jingzhou with a great victory!
It can even be said that he has calculated his time!
He will immediately move troops to come here the moment Liu Jingsheng dies!
And this is the opportunity I am waiting for. ”
Liu Xie looked at Liu Ji in front of him and couldn't help frowning slightly.
It wasn't the first time he had heard these words, but it was the first time he had heard them from Liu Ji's mouth.
Although Liu Xie knew that this guy was not an unknown person in history, he didn't expect this guy to have this ability.
Although these words are spoken.... Well... How to say it....
"Go on!" Liu Xie knew that the next thing was the most important, because this opportunity was certain.
But how you do it is what counts!
Merely... Liu Xie overestimated Liu Ji a little.
He saw that this place was already very dangerous.
If you go on... He has this heart but also doesn't have this ability, and his face can't help but be a little helpless.
But his character also does not allow himself to force his mouth and talk nonsense to save face!
