Chapter 363

With Li Yuanba and Li Jue leaving like this, the already precarious Xianyang City was completely exposed to the threat of Lu Bu's army. The Xiliang soldiers didn't last long before they were led into the city by Xu Huang and Gao Shun.

The Xiliang army lost its main general, and those who fled and those who surrendered surrendered. Soon, Lu Bu took control of Xianyang City.

It's just that although Lu Bu and the others won, it was not easy.

Li Yuanba beheaded six of the eight generals alone, and the rest, no matter Lu Bu or Xu Huang, were all injured and needed some time to recuperate.

In a short period of time, it will definitely be unable to continue to capture Chang'an and fight Dong Zhuo.

Liu Xie didn't expect that Li Yuanba was so terrifying. His combat power was only two points higher than Lu Bu's, but it was like there was a gap between them. He defeated all the generals of Lu Bu's army by himself, and completely crushed him. The pressure is really terrible.

"I knew that I would have to subdue Li Yuanba no matter what I said at the beginning. If my intelligence is a little lower, I will be a little bit lower. As long as I treat him better, I might be able to take in an invincible thug boy who is determined."

Liu Xie regretted it very much. Although Chen Qingzhi and Changsun Wuji were both top talents, they seemed to be much weaker than Li Yuanba, the pervert who was the best martial artist in the world.

"It's my luck, but it's my life. This guy beats himself when he goes crazy, so I don't have to bother him with my little arms and legs."

Liu Xie reluctantly comforted himself with a few words, and no longer entangled in Li Yuanba's problem.

However, although Dong Zhuo accidentally got Li Yuanba, an invincible general, because of Li Jue's relationship, not only Xianyang was taken by Lu Bu, but also Chiyang, where Guo Si was stationed, was also taken by Han Suimateng.

It's just that compared to Li Jue's situation, Guo Si is better. He restrained his troops and retreated on his own initiative.

Unlike Li Jue, who was captured by Li Yuanba like a chick, only some defeated soldiers fled back to Chang'an by themselves.

However, because Lu Bu was injured, Han Suimateng did not dare to attack without authorization. After a battle, the two sides unexpectedly fell into a temporary stalemate again, which made Cao Cao who was watching the play very depressed.

"Oh, I didn't expect Li Yuanba, Li Jue's nephew, to be so powerful. He beat him so hard that Lu Bu could only vomit blood and run away. But if he comes like this, it will be difficult for us to conquer Guanzhong."

At Cao Cao's house in Luoyang, Cao Cao sighed and spoke slowly to military advisors Cheng Yu and Chen Gong.

"It's good to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, but it's a bit too passive. My lord might as well make up my mind to capture Yizhou. Yizhou is fertile and wild, with hundreds of talented people. After taking it, my lord will surely be able to go out of Shu like Gaozu. Then point the sword at the world."

Chen Gong stood up and said.

"Although Yizhou has many natural dangers, Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent. It is not difficult for us to take Yizhou. There are only two people to worry about."

Cheng Yu also nodded, and began to add.

"One of them is Fazheng, a well-known scholar in Yizhou. His schemes have always been surprisingly successful, and his talent is not inferior to ours. It's just because of his background and personality that Liu Zhang doesn't like him. Therefore, we only need to win him over, and don't need to worry too much. "

"The other person is Liu Zhang's confidant, Wang Xuance. Wang Xuance allows both literature and martial arts. He can retreat from the Nanman when he mounts a horse, and he can determine the world with his pen. He is very powerful, and now he personally leads the army at Yangping Pass to guard against our sneak attack from Hanzhong. If we want to capture Yizhou, we must first deal with Wang Xuance."

Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while after hearing what the two military advisers said, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Although Yizhou is good, there is no need to rush to get it now. Gongtai and Zhongde can hear that Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, made a move to cultivate Mingxiu. The plank road secretly plotted the old warehouse, and killed Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, by surprise?"

Of course, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were very familiar with this tactic of attacking east and west. The two of them pondered, wondering what Cao Cao meant by this.

"My lord, do you mean to go south to attack Yuan Shu?"

Chen Gong had some guesses and asked suspiciously.

"Gongtai, I'm not attacking Yuan Gonglu, but looking for Yuzhou to continue to avenge my father's killing."

Cao Cao smiled, there was no hatred on his face, on the contrary, there was a kind of self-confidence and domineering that Yuzhou was already in his hands.

After Cao Cao made up his mind, he ordered generals Cao Hong and Le Jin to lead [-] troops to Hanzhong to put pressure on Wang Xuance, and pretended to be ready to attack Yizhou.

Wang Xuance did not dare to take it lightly, and personally led the elite soldiers and generals to take careful precautions at Yangping Pass.

But when all the feudal lords were paying attention to Cao Cao in Hanzhong, Cao Cao secretly dispatched general Cao Ren as the commander, Wang Yanzhang as the deputy general, and Yang Xuangan as the vanguard. Starting from Yingchuan, he won the Southern Chen County belonging to Yuan Shu in less than a day. .

Now Cao Ren is leading the army to station in Chenjun, while Yang Xuangan has already led the army to Qiaojun.

After Yuan Shu received Chen Jun's missing disappearance, he was furious, and even scolded Cao Cao for his treachery and deception.

But now Yang Xuangan was so powerful that he conquered several cities in one day.

Although Yuan Shu was furious, under Yan Xiang's persuasion, he could only calm down his anger, and sent generals Ji Ling and Lan Yu to Qiao County to resist Yang Xuangan.

"Cao Cao, the hero, really can't stay idle. Knowing that Guanzhong and Shu are not easy to fight, he actually set his sights on Yuan Shu's Runan land."

When Yang Xuangan led the army to attack Qiao County, Yang Zaixing who was stationed in Liang Guo also noticed the abnormality and immediately sent the news back to Liu Xie.

"Runan is extremely rich, Yuan Shu is extravagant and incompetent, and he doesn't have many talents under his command. I'm afraid Cao Cao will easily take over Yuan Shu's territory."

Beside Liu Xie, Xun Yu said slowly.

"However, Cao Cao is probably not the only one who takes a fancy to Yuan Shu's fat."

Guo Jia also said lightly.

"Cao Cao has already torn the thin piece of cloth that Yuan Shu is strong in the outside world, and I'm afraid Liu Bei in the north of Jingzhou and Sun Jian in Jiangdong can't help but join in the fun."

"What Feng Xiao said is true. They held back their troops before because they wanted Cao Cao to send troops to attract Yuan Shu's troops. Now that Yuan Shu has sent Ji Ling and Lan Yu to resist Yang Xuangan, there is only one Zhang Xun left in Runan. , but compared to Liu Bei and Sun Jian, it is still far from enough."

Liu Xie looked at the map of Yuzhou and analyzed it slowly.

"My lord, do we need to send troops?"

Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and asked the most crucial question.

It is not difficult for Liu Xie to send troops. Right now Yuan Shu is overwhelmed by everyone. As long as there are some powerful princes nearby, they all want to share some soup and meat.

Moreover, once Yuan Shu was destroyed, there would be one less powerful prince around Liu Xie, although it was only the weakest one.

But the so-called persimmons pick the soft ones, get rid of the weakest ones first, and then accumulate strength to deal with the stronger ones.

It was better than when Liu Xie was dealing with others, being given a headache by the weakest Yuan Shu, just like the last time he attacked Xiapi.
