Start by integrating Ran Min and starting with the strategy of Lady Bian

The battle was over, and the battle was over.

North.

Li Xiang led the high-spirited generals and 35,000 cavalrymen to continue northward, but he was ready to sweep the country and spread the power of Han outside the region.

Spreading power outside the region, in addition to the intention of pursuing the victory and expanding the results of the war.

There is also the consideration of completing the task.

[The foreign races attacked in large numbers, the Han Dynasty was shocked, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people of the Han Dynasty were worried. The host was named the General of Chariots and Cavalry, carrying the hope of the Han Dynasty, resisting the foreign races, and spreading power outside the region. Reward: [A piece of Dragon Rising Land], [A piece of fertile grassland with a thousand miles of land]. 】

Both of these are good things.

The troubled times are coming, this is the place to settle down.

Li Xiang will not let it go.

And now, there is only one last step left.

…

South.

The news of the grassland decisive battle, after the quick report of Li Xiaogong, the governor of Yanmen Pass, soon spread to the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty.

Previously, it was learned that the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan had a total of 300,000 cavalrymen heading south, most of which were concentrated in the Youzhou area. The enemy was numerous and we were few, the battle was tense, and we were still passively beaten. Countless people were terrified and unable to sleep, and they were restless all night.

From Youzhou to Jizhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and even Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places.

Whether it was the ordinary people at the bottom or the major families at the top.

All of them were worried day and night.

All of them were worried.

Almost few people could eat and sleep, and they all had to inquire whether there was any news from the north.

They were afraid that the grassland people would defeat the army of Li Jing and others and trample the Han Dynasty.

Of course, although everyone is paying attention to this battle, most people are not optimistic that Li Xiang can defeat the coalition of the three tribes.

Even though he was famous before, he can't be compared with the three foreign tribes that have swept across China for hundreds of years.

To put it bluntly, the gap between the strength of the two sides is too big, and the difference in military strength is too big, and gods and ghosts will not help!

If it weren't for Li Xiang's reputation as a general of chariots and cavalry, the Marquis of Longxi, and his reputation in the world, I'm afraid some people with ulterior motives would have planned to be traitors long ago.

On the surface, denounce Li Xiang for starting the war.

Secretly collude with the three tribes and surrender!

At the moment, everyone has no choice but to pray silently that the Yanmen victory led by Li Xiang and Li Guangbi before can be repeated in this decisive battle.

Only if he wins can the Han Dynasty continue to exist.

Only if he wins can everyone continue to live.

This logic is tacitly accepted by everyone, whether they like or hate Li Xiang!

Luoyang.

In the court.

Since the last two letters were delivered, one was about the victory at Yanmen and the other was about the disaster at Youzhou, Emperor Liu Hong of Han has been restless again.

If it weren't for Cao Zhengchun and others to comfort him, he would have been unable to hold back.

However, in order to prevent any unexpected events, Liu Hong also mobilized the Northern Army and Liangzhou Border Army in Luoyang to garrison at Tongguan, the border between Jizhou and Bingzhou.

But he was always on guard against foreigners breaking through Youzhou and trampling over the Han Dynasty.

...

Luoyang, by the river.

The annual fishing festival, but this year there is no atmosphere.

But there are also many children of officials and wealthy nobles, rowing boats, listening to music, and enjoying the prosperity before the end of the world.

Until someone inadvertently mentioned the decisive battle, everyone felt heavy.

"This time, the Marquis of Longxi will most likely repeat the same mistake and the disastrous defeat of his ancestor Li Guang. Just wait and see. Although Yanmen won, Youzhou will definitely not win."

"Are you serious? Do you have any relatives serving as officials or soldiers in Youzhou? You can't say this casually. Didn't you see that His Majesty was upset and irritable last night, and he vented his anger on several palace maids. We can't cause trouble at this time."

"I still hope that Li Xiang can stop the foreigners. Alas, you say that Li Xiang, why is he running to the grassland instead of guarding Youzhou properly."

From several ships, some idle children of noble families were talking nonsense.

Not far away on the opposite side, in the center of Luo River, in a five-story, most luxurious ship, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu also heard this.

Unlike the time when they learned about the victory at Yanmen, at this moment, the three of them were all frowning.

The only person who still had confidence in Li Xiang was Cao Cao.

"Benchu, Gonglu, what do you think of this battle? I think Li Xiang is invincible and has good command. Maybe he still has a chance to defeat the coalition of the three tribes and save the Han Dynasty."

After the victory at Yanmen last time, Cao Cao was more confident this time. Looking at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu opposite him, he raised his glass and

Zun forced a smile.

Yuan Shao frowned, shook his head without thinking, and showed some contempt.

"Rely on Li Xiang to save the Han Dynasty? Haha, Meng De overestimated him too much. This man has some skills, but his Li Jing is unknown and can never resist more than 200,000 troops."

"Also, this Li Xiang took the risk alone, instead of guarding Youzhou well, he went to the grassland to attack the rear of Xianbei and Xiongnu. If the foreign tribes do not retreat, but defeat Li Jing, then my Han Dynasty will be in danger?"

The meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious. Although Yuan Shao admitted that Li Xiang had some skills, he was not optimistic about Li Jing, and even did not support Li Xiang's attack on the rear of Xianbei and Xiongnu.

This made Cao Cao feel a little unhappy, but Cao Cao had the opposite view from Yuan Shao. However, thinking of the situation in the north, he could only sigh helplessly.

However, think about it, at the beginning, the four of them were all iron-blooded men who could sacrifice their lives for the country and the people, but because of Bian, they had grievances.

So far, he has long forgiven Li Xiang, and he admires and respects him more than envy and jealousy.

But the brothers of the Yuan family...

"Is there really no one like me, Cao Mengde, who understands Li Xiang's painstaking efforts? Unfortunately, Cao has no chance to fight side by side with him, let alone know the specific situation of the battle."

Cao Cao was in a bad mood and couldn't help drinking a few more sips of water and wine. He was usually lustful, so he ignored the beauty around him at this moment.

His thoughts flew completely to Youzhou thousands of miles away.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu, who had always been the highest status among the three but had been slapped the most times, finally waited for his chance and sneered three times decisively.

"Brother Meng De, why should you be sad for a poor boy? Come on, let's drink and enjoy today, who cares if the world collapses tomorrow? We are a noble family, we are the upper class. Even if the foreigners come south, they will only slaughter the lowly people like Li Xiang. How could they offend us?"

"It's not that I am petty. In the end, Li Xiang deserves it. He didn't guard Youzhou well and dared to raid the rear of the grassland. It doesn't matter if he was defeated and killed. We still have Luoyang. The number of foreigners is not much. They can't do any fundamental harm to our Han Dynasty. If Li Xiang dies, his widow will cry to death!"

Good guy!

Yuan Shao is already poisonous enough.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu is even more insidious than him. At this time, he is still thinking about Li Xiang's beautiful wife and concubine.

This statement angered Cao Cao a little.

If these two people had not had a close relationship with him and could not be offended for the time being, Cao Cao really wanted to leave and break off the relationship from then on!

"You are not worthy of being a counselor!"

"If I had known that the two Yuans were such people, I should have let Li Xiang lead them into battle. I, Cao Mengde, am ashamed to be in their company!"

Cao Cao drank a few more bowls of wine in anger and almost passed out.

Suddenly!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, a great victory is coming, a great victory on the grassland, a great victory in the decisive battle!"

A warhorse from Yanmen passed by the Luo River at high speed, and the excited voice of the messenger quickly spread.

Hearing this, the people and children of the noble families who were originally confused and worried every day were all dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Another great victory?

Or a great victory in the decisive battle on the grassland?

At the same time, on the top floor of the big ship, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were also shocked, and their faces changed.

Similar to the last victory at Yanmen, Cao Cao was the first to come out and heard the shocking news that this decisive battle defeated 200,000 foreign tribes and killed 100,000 captives.

He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Yuan Shao on the left had a gloomy face.

Yuan Shu on the right was stunned!

"This is impossible!! How can you win?"

Yuan Shu seemed to be unable to accept it and fainted.

"You are really not as good as Li Xiang. Bah!"

Cao Cao secretly laughed at Yuan Shu, but at this moment, Cao Cao felt mixed emotions in his heart, including envy, respect, and...
