Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 461 What's the Difference?

On the contrary, Zhang Ren was asked to protect Mianzhu well, and no fault was meritorious.

The lord is like this, even if Zhang Ren wants to forge ahead, there is nothing he can do.

He could only watch helplessly as Li Yan attacked Jiangyou County repeatedly and failed, but lost a lot of troops. In the end, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to Bajun, relying on the 47 county passes of Bajun to defend Liu Bei from returning to the army again.

The entire Yizhou fell into the quagmire of war due to Liu Zhang's blind operation.

But anyone with eyes can see it.

Regardless of whether it is Liu Beijun or Liu Zhangjun, if you really want to say that the loss is actually not too big.

Liu Bei didn't want to talk about it. After jumping out of the barrier of Xinye, he came directly to Jiangyou County. One Xinye County was changed to another Jiangyou County. No matter how you think about it, this deal is a sure profit.

Not to mention, compared with the situation around Xinye surrounded by powerful enemies, those around Jiangyou County are currently not subject to Liu Bei's forces.

In front of Liu Beijun's soldiers, he was like a small shrimp, who was easily wiped out by Liu Beijun. While consolidating his foundation in Jiangyou, it also further strengthened Liu Beijun's strength.

After all, there is no better place to improve the quality of soldiers than on the real battlefield.

But the loss of Liu Zhangjun's army is not big.

Although the two generals Yan Yan and Lei Tong were lost, together with [-] Yizhou army vanguards.

But you must know that in the south of Yizhou, Liu Zhang was not very convinced, and among these Yizhou generals who were not very convinced, the Berkshire defenders stood out the most.

The Battle of the Central Plains, together with the sudden emergence of Liu Bei's army in the south of Yizhou, has caused quite limited losses to the Yizhou army. If you really want to say that the losses of soldiers are actually not that big.

After all, the battleable soldiers in the south of Yizhou had been emptied long ago, and the [-] soldiers loyal to Liu Zhang returned to Yizhou safely under the leadership of Li Yan.

As for the loss of Yan Yan and Lei Tong's [-] soldiers and horses, in Liu Zhang's view, it was purely tasteless.

With these 7 people, he could not command anything. Without these 7 people, the impact would not be very great.

And this is the strange point of Deng Ai, Wenpin, Wei Yan and others.

In their view, Liu Bei's army is just like ants. Even if Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao when he was in Xinye, it was not enough to make Deng Ai and others really pay attention to Liu Bei's significance.

After all, from the perspective of the world at this moment, although Liu Bei has the name of Liu Huangshu, and has been in this troubled world for nearly 20 years, he has not completely disappeared.

But because from the beginning to the end, Liu Bei didn't have a really stable base. Instead, he either defected to this company or that company, even if he got Xuzhou by chance.

He also didn't even sit on his buttocks, and he was thrown away by Lu Bu, abandoned his wife and son, ran away to Yuan Shao's command, and then came to Liu Biao's command.

It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that wandering around and not thinking of home.

Even in the eyes of young people like Deng Ai and Wei Yan, Liu Bei is not even considered a prince, at most he can only be regarded as a small warlord.

Still the smallest one.

However, Yuan Tan knows that Liu Bei is definitely the kind of person who can be brilliant if you give him some sunshine, and he can give you back a dyeing workshop if you give him some color.

As long as he is allowed to seize the opportunity, he will definitely soar into the sky and achieve achievements that no one can imagine.

In the whole world, the only one who can really realize that Liu Bei is terrible, except for himself, a traverser with innate advantages, is Cao Cao, who has been beaten by him at this moment and can only shrink back in Xuchang.

It was because of this concern that Yuan Tan sent Li Yan back.

After all, if Li Yan's troops were to be disabled in Yuzhou, with Liu Zhang's current soldiers and generals, Yuan Tan was afraid that he had just wiped out Cao Cao, the life and death enemy.

Over there, news came that Liu Bei had successfully settled in Yizhou and even conquered Hanzhong, becoming the king of Hanzhong.

That would be too grassy.

Yuan Tan didn't want to make it more difficult for him to pacify the world in the future for no reason, so Li Yan's [-] troops must be let go, and they must be allowed to return to Yizhou safely.

Add a little difficulty to Liu Bei's great cause of conquering Yizhou.

You must know that the current Liu Bei is not the Liu Bei who entered Shu in the official history.

Zhao Yun was successfully intercepted by him, Huang Zhong also came under his command, Wei Yan was accepted as a half apprentice by him early on, and even Xu Shu became his first disciple.

Liu Bei has been sitting in Xinye for three years, and he has never been to Wollongong once from the beginning to the end, and he does not know whether Zhuge Liang is still there.But after thinking about it, it probably won't be there.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if Zhuge Liang is still the same as in the official history, he has followed Liu Bei.

At this moment, it is estimated that it will not have much effect, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Don't look at the romance, Zhuge Liang used his troops like a god, as if in a small county town in Xinye, he defeated Cao Cao's army several times, and the headache that beat Cao Cao was about to recur.

But in the end?

Didn't Liu Bei abandon Xinye and flee to Jiangxia, so that the bloody battle at Changbanpo gave Zhao Zilong a chance to become famous?He even had to make an alliance with Sun Quan in the end to successfully defeat Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi?
Therefore, for Liu Bei at this moment, even if Li Yan, who returned to the army with an army of [-], could not kill Liu Bei, the potential dragon, in his infancy.

At least, it can greatly slow down Liu Bei's take-off speed, and leave enough time for him to clean up Cao Cao.

In addition, there is another important reason why Li Yan was not left behind, that is, Li Yan is different from Yan Yan.

Yuan Tan looked at his big apprentice Xu Shu, saw that Xu Shu had already smiled, and immediately knew that his disciple, he might have already guessed the remaining half of the reason.

At that moment, Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, why don't you come and talk to Shi Zai, General Wenpin, Wei Yan and the others?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Xu Shu cupped his hands generously and said with a smile: "Since the teacher has an order, how dare the disciple refuse to obey?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Shu turned around and said to Wei Yan, Deng Ai and the others: "Three generals, why not think about it first, what is the difference between General Yan Yan and Li Yan?"

"difference?"

Hearing Xu Shu's question, Wei Yan and the others were stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Ability difference?It can't be that Li Yan doesn't fall into Yuan Tan's eyes, right?

Thinking about it, this idea is impossible. After all, Li Yan's own ability is there. The number one commander of Sichuan and Shu is not a vain name, but because Li Yan's martial arts are a bit mediocre compared to his commander.

This made Zhang Ren's reputation weaker, otherwise, it is not certain who will be the No. 1 general in Sichuan and Shu.

While Wei Yan was still thinking, Deng Ai and Wenpin had a thought in their minds. Looking at Xu Shu, Wenpin was the first to say, "Could it be family background?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly, nodded, and affirmed the answer of the two: "Exactly."
