Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187 Returning to Jiangxia
Jiangxia City
Since Liu Qi led the army to break through Shouchun City and looted all the supplies Yuan Shu had left in Shouchun, he transported everything out of Shouchun City in large carts and small carts in the early morning of the next day, and at the same time led the army to withdraw to Jingzhou Hurrying back, there was no time for the rest of the princes to react.

In the case of a fast march, they quickly withdrew to Jiangxia City.

In the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone gathered together, after all, they had already returned to their own territory, so there was no need to worry about the rest, and now no one could take the time to attack Jingzhou.

"What's the current situation?" Liu Qi asked, looking at everyone present.

heard.

Guo Jia stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since Yuan Shu knew that our army captured Shouchun, he didn't stay in Hefei any longer. Zhang Xun also led the army back to Shouchun, intending to wipe out our army in the land of Shouchun, but Yuan Shu didn't know that our army had no intention of occupying Shouchun, so he withdrew from Shouchun early in the morning. It's just an empty city!"

After a pause, he continued: "When Yuan Shu knows that our army has withdrawn, it's too late to regret it. Now that Yuan Shu's army is besieged by princes in Shouchun City, it's only a matter of time before it is defeated!"

"Yuan Shu is just asking for his own death. If he hadn't taken this action and continued to block the princes' crusade on both sides, there was still a chance of survival. Now, he made way out of the way and let the princes' soldiers and horses drive straight in. He was besieged in Shouchun City. There is a lack of food and grass on the ground, and it will not be long before the princes break through!" Jia Xu also stood up and said.

Everyone also nodded.

While withdrawing to Jingzhou, there were always sending out scouts to inquire about the news, and they also knew that Yuan Shu was putting all his eggs in one basket and wanted to encircle and wipe out their Jingzhou army in Shouchun.

However, they were one step ahead of Yuan Shu, and when Yuan Shu led the army to Shouchun, they were about to return to Jiangxia, and Yuan Shu had to pay the price for his decision, that is, he was besieged in Shouchun by the princes. , even if Yuan Shu wanted to abandon everything and directly lead the army to Jingzhou to fight them to the death, he would have no chance.

"A glimmer of life?" Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Wenhe, you are wrong. Ever since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, he has never had any chance. There has been a stalemate before. Waiting and watching, I want to let other people contribute, and I just take advantage of it later, otherwise, Yuan Shu would never have survived for so long!"

"My lord's words are true!" Jia Xu clasped his hands.

He also understood the meaning of Liu Qi's words. Just like Sun Ce who was in a stalemate with Yuan Shu in Hefei, he had more troops than Yuan Shu, but he didn't do anything. Apart from sending people to fight from time to time, he didn't fight at all. Yuan Shu decided to fight to the death; for another example, the soldiers and horses of the various princes who were in a stalemate with Zhang Xun in Yuzhou were all afraid of being taken advantage of by others, and they had no real intention of uniting at all.

Otherwise, whether Yuan Shu can still hold on to the present is a question, but now Yuan Shu is like a turtle in a urn, and the soldiers and horses of the princes will not let go of this opportunity to eliminate Yuan Shu in Shouchun.

"Yuan Shu has already lost all his chances, all that remains is to see who owns Shouchun!" Liu Qi said flatly.

This time, he earned a lot more cheaply, but he didn't get a piece of land. However, it's a pity that he didn't get the Chuanguo Jade Seal. Use righteousness to get back the land of Chang'an.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he grinned and said, "I just don't know what kind of expression Yuan Shu will have when he sees those two cauldrons again and notices something?"

This statement came out.

Everyone present also laughed. That scene should be pretty good, but it’s a pity that they couldn’t see it with their own eyes. You must know that after they left, they didn’t take the two big tripods with them. Those two big tripods were forged.

The current Yuan Shu should also understand what happened in it. If he didn't understand that he was being used by others, then Yuan Shu would be really stupid.

"Okay, now that Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, a lot of things have changed, and the princes will no longer stay in their own territories peacefully. Although Jingzhou will not be endangered for a while, they have to be guarded against. It should be earlier!" Liu Qi waved his hand and said seriously.

heard.

Everyone also became serious. Originally, all the princes supported their own troops and did not obey the orders of the court at all. They just had some scruples and didn't want to turn themselves into traitors.

However, after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he no longer had such scruples. Once Yuan Shu was finished, it would be the beginning of chaos.

"Zilong, Hansheng!"

"exist!"

"The two of you don't have to follow the army back to Jingzhou City. When the army sets off, take half of the property looted from Shouchun and rush to Jiaozhou. Now Jiaozhou has recruited [-] new troops and let you train them!" Liu Qi ordered. road.

Having food but no soldiers, or having soldiers but no food, is not enough to accomplish great things, but what he looted in Yuan Shu's territory is enough to support him to raise a group of elite troops.

Moreover, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are the most suitable candidates to train the recruits.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also stood up and bowed their hands in response.

"Xingba and Ziyi, stay in Jiangxia to train the navy; Zhongye rushes back to Wancheng and sits in Jingbei; Yuanjian rushes to Xinye to station in Xinye!" Liu Qi continued to order.

"promise!"

Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Wen Pin, Liao Hua and others also stood up without any hesitation and accepted the job.

"The rest, follow me back to Jingzhou City!" Liu Qi finally said.

"promise!"

Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan also stood up.

Liu Qi looked at the people standing up, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's all sit down, this arrangement is just to prevent some things!"

Everyone didn't say much, and sat back in their seats one after another.

"This expedition has won many of you, and there are many soldiers who fought bravely. Now that they have returned to Jiangxia, they ordered them to hold a banquet tonight. The whole army will have fun together, and they will not return until they are drunk!" Liu Qi said grandly.

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone said with a smile.

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Let's go down and make arrangements like this. If there are not enough cooks, we will recruit people in Jiangxia City and pay them. Tonight, all the soldiers must be able to eat and drink enough!"

"promise!"

The crowd did not hesitate, and they all bowed their hands and retreated.

Liu Qi waited for everyone to leave, then stood up, turned around and walked to the back hall.
