Chapter 168 The stage is set, what can we do without more actors
After receiving the news that Yang Ji sent troops, Cao Cao and others could not understand their current situation in Yanzhou.
Guan Yu's army in Yanzhou is clearly to attract their attention so that they can relax their observation of the eastern part of Yanzhou.
So, Cao Cao immediately ordered Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu to lead their troops back to Chenliu, even if they gave up the newly acquired Yingchuan, they must keep Chenliu.
While withdrawing troops from Nanyang, Cao Cao also sent Xun You to Yuzhou, intending to let Yuan Shu send troops to block Guan Yu's army in Nanyang at the expense of Yingchuan.
At the same time, Xiahou Dun and Xi Zhicai were sent to Jizhou in an attempt to persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to Qingzhou and force Yang Ji to lead his troops back to Mount Tai.
As soon as there was any movement on Cao Cao's side, it should be said that Xia Houyuan led the army to turn around, and the white horse who had been monitoring them immediately reported it to Chen Xi who was in Wancheng.
After Chen Xi received the news, he left 20,000 troops and Liu Ye to guard Wancheng, and the remaining 50,000 troops headed for Yingchuan.
I have to say that Xia Houyuan's legion talent is really powerful in assisting the march of this kind of army.
After all, Xi Zhicai’s spiritual talent is no joke. Even Xi Zhicai’s spiritual talent can only copy the spiritual talent, not the legion’s talent.
But with Xi Zhicai's intelligence, how could he not work hard in this area? Although it is still impossible to copy the legion's talent, it can still be used as a detector.
So, Xi Zhicai would explain to Cao Cao's few generals with legion talents how to develop their own legion talents no matter what.
Although until now, Cao Cao's subordinate Xia Houyuan is clearly a man with internal energy separated from his body.
However, during the war, who knows how many of Cao Cao’s generals will be able to break through the separation of inner energy from the body.
By the way, only one of Cao Cao's five good generals is Le Jin. Yu Jin is now in Mount Tai, Zhang Liao is in Bingzhou, Zhang He is still under Yuan Shao, and Xu Huang is still following Yang Feng in the land of Yongliang. Mix it up.
There are only Cao Cao's own generals like the Eight Tigers and the less famous generals left.
Except for the juniors in the Eight Tigers Cavalry, Xia Houyuan, the remaining ones, have successfully broken through and become inner Qi separated from the body.
I don’t know if the remaining few people can successfully break through in the next battle. Although a breakthrough may not be able to save Cao Cao’s defeat, at least they can get some preferential treatment or something.
Back when Chen Xi and Guan Yu led their troops to Duyang City, Xia Houyuan had already left with his troops for several days.
"Xiahou Miaocai's legion talent is really an excellent auxiliary talent for this kind of combat method that requires traveling thousands of miles." Looking at Duyang City not far away, Chen Xi sighed with emotion Speaking of.
Jia Xu looked at the information just sent by Baima and couldn't help but agree with Chen Xi's statement.
After all, the army led by Xia Houyuan has now crossed Kunyang City and is about to approach Yingyin City.
Jia Xu took a serious look at Chen Xi in front of him, "By the way, do we need to be so slow?
With your military skills, you should be able to let our army march. Is it 20% faster?" Jia Xu asked Chen Xi curiously.
Although he wanted to, he could guess what Chen Xi wanted to do with his own ability.
But now that there are big guys like Chen Xi taking the lead, why doesn't he just follow the big guys?
You know, choosing yourself to be the boss that others follow is not in line with your low-key personality.
"Bang!"
Chen Xi opened his folding fan, "Don't you think, only we and Yanzhou are on this stage. The rest are just spectators, isn't it a bit of a waste for us? The platform that was finally built?”
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes, but after thinking about Chen Xi and Yang Ji's arrangements for a moment, he understood what they were doing.
After thinking about it, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. The surrounding princes who could help Cao Cao were really calculated.
He asked why Chen Xi and Yang Ji were advancing so slowly even though they had a great advantage in terms of strength and combat effectiveness of their soldiers.
The sentiment is to leave time for those princes who want to participate in this war to prepare.
It is estimated that after Liu Bei returned to Mount Tai, he had ordered Li Ru to lead an army of fifty thousand to Zhao Yun, Pingyuan County.
Liu Bei himself and Zhang Fei once again mobilized an army of 50,000 to guard Mount Tai, as long as the other princes came down to participate in the battle.
Then he will immediately send troops. Whether it is sending troops to the nests of other princes or to reinforce the battlefield, it will be a strong deterrent.
And whether it was the 50,000-strong army led by Li Ru or Liu Bei's mobilization order, it must have been publicized with great fanfare.
Those spies from all sides in Mount Tai must have received the news that Liu Bei and the others deliberately released.
Perhaps Liu Bei will deliberately send white horses to other states and counties under the advice of others to spread the news that they are gathering troops again.
It is just to let those forces who have not arranged spies in Mount Tai know their actions in Mount Tai.
"You shouldn't have even sent a message to Gongsun Bogui who is far away in Youzhou, right?" Jia Xu asked blankly.
Chen Xi chuckled and said, "Of course, Gongsun Bogui must also be happy to attack Jizhou with us from the north and the south."
Jia Xu frowned and said, "With Gongsun Bogui's character, he can Accept our military deterrence against Jizhou?”
Although I have never met Gongsun Zan, based on Jia Xu’s understanding of human nature, Gongsun Zan is not the kind of person who would accept military assistance from others. .
"Hey, don't forget, Xuande Gong and Gongsun Bogui are brothers in the same school, and their two common teachers teach in Taishan Academy." Chen Xi reminded Jia Xu.
Jia Xu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He now understood what Liu Bei meant when he said, 'Don't give Chen Xi and Yang Ji too long to plan.'
Because you have no idea when and where these two people will lay what kind of chess pieces.
When you discover these chess pieces and their functions, you will find that it turns out that others have begun to close the net.
Although Yang Ji himself is not good at long-term layout, Chen Xi is very good at it.
Coupled with Yang Ji's military strength and Chen Xi's terrifying internal affairs operation ability...
Although Jia Xu didn't want to admit it, even if he and Li Ru combined the logistics, plus Huangfu Song China's military strength is very likely to be pushed back by a wave.
Chen Xi saw that Jia Xu was silent and didn't care, but continued: "Now the only one who can play without any scruples is Yuan Gongli."
