Cao Cao went to Guanzhong, and his next opponents were Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao.
Yuan Shuyi was automatically blocked by the promise.
Only the four major princes in the Kanto can hinder him.
Except for Liu Bei, the other three major princes can essentially surrender.
Xu Ding really didn't want to fight anymore. Once the war broke out, the people were in dire straits.
After a military disaster, there are always injuries everywhere.
"It's just that all parties have ambitions. Even Liu Biao won't be willing. Even if he is willing, Jingzhou Wu, headed by the Cai family, won't be willing!" Walking on the cement-paved official road, Xu Ding slightly shook his head and sighed. :
"Things in the world are not that simple, but we have made the best start based on the scriptures, and with some additions, we should have the best ending.
Keeping the mission in mind, not forgetting the original intention, the most difficult problems have been solved, and there is nothing invincible. "
From Taizhou to the south, through Rencheng and other countries to Xuzhou.
When Xu Ding arrived in Xuzhou, Wang Xiu brought people to meet him, and took the initiative to report the recent situation.
"My lord, Yuan Shu's army was defeated by our army. Li Jin beheaded and killed many of Yuan Shu's generals. Now Lu Bu attacked Yuzhou and directly captured Ruyang. Yuan Shu fought repeatedly. The enemy Lu Bu was defeated and retreated to Ruyin, and his general Chen Ji died in battle.
Most of Yuan Shu's troops headed by Chen Lan will flee, and now only general Zhang Xun is still with Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu is nothing to worry about. "Wang Xiu went on to say:
"However, Lu Bu couldn't swallow the entire Yuzhou because of his lack of troops, so he only occupied the Ruyang area, and did not expand south or east. Although Yuan Shu's vitality was seriously injured, he was still a centipede who died but not stiff, which can make people sick."
After all, Yuan Shu is the descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince. He has a solid family background, complicated relationships, and deep roots.
Officials all over the world sell a little face.
Especially those states and counties that have not been promised to win.
"Yuan Shu, a child!" Xu Ding never put Yuan Shu in his eyes. Among the princes in the world, he looked down on Yuan Shu the most, and he never regarded him as an opponent.
The guy who lives on his laurels will eventually finish eating one day.
If you lose a little today, you lose a day tomorrow, and now you are just lingering, and there is no trouble.
Ruyin!
If I remember correctly, that city is downstream of the Yingshui River, not far from the Lujiang River and Jiujiang River in Yangzhou.
Such a short distance makes Sun Ce think.
Xu Ding was so curious.
Yuan Shu was basically in the past tense, Xu Dingyi didn't care anymore, so he asked, "What about the situation in Jianghuai?"
Xu Ding cared more about Zhou Yu and Sun Ce than Yuan Shu.
Wang Xiu replied: "My lord, the battle in the Jianghuai area was quite tense at the beginning, and it was not good for us. Guangling County was almost completely lost, and was attacked by Sun Ce. Zhao Yu could only passively defend Guangling City. Lu Chang rescued Guangling once. , was ambushed and almost lost the army, but fortunately, we were alert and retreated in time, and retreated to Jiangdu."
Xu Ding learned about Sun Ce's attack on Guangling City through his circle of friends on the way here, and knew that it would end with Sun Ce's failure, so he didn't have any emotional changes.
Seeing that Xu Ding was so calm, Wang Xiu couldn't help secretly admiring, the lord is the lord, and the skill of nourishing qi is getting better and better.
It is really admirable that I speak so frighteningly without any emotional fluctuations.
Then Wang Xiu continued: "Youping and the others fought against the Jiujiang navy led by Zhou Yu in the Huaihe River. Youping also fell into Zhou Yu's tricks to confuse him at the beginning. Zhou Yu's negligence in the appointment made Zhou Yu attack the navy's stronghold. A lot of ships were lost.
However, the next day, in a face-to-face battle on the Huaihe River, Zhou Yu was defeated by an absolute advantage, and Zhou Yu's navy was almost wiped out with zero casualties, and Zhou Yu was almost captured. "
This time Xu Ding smiled.
Zhou Yu is a very ghostly guy, he had already reminded Zhou Tai.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tai still followed his lead.
But in the end, Zhou Yu vomited blood and ended up depressed.
"Ironclad ships don't need to be many or big, they are enough for Zhou Yu to remember forever." Xu Ding has the most say, and he participated in the design of this thing.
"Whoever encounters it will become a nightmare, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime." Wang Xiu agrees with this point very much.
Zero casualties in water battles almost completely annihilated the opponent. This kind of record has never been seen before.
The steam armored warship deserves to be the strongest armed force in the navy.
"What about the back? Zhou Yu scared away and quit Xiapi County?" Xu Ding asked.
Wang Xiudao: "Is that true? Zhou Yu was so frightened that he retreated to Huaiyin. He closed the city and dared not speak up. However, after Jiang Qin's navy attacked Suiling, Zhou Yu had to retreat to the west. Then he heard that we had defeated Yuan's troops in Pengcheng. Li Jin Turning to attack Jiujiang, he led the remnants back to aid Jiujiang.
Because there was no navy, Li Jin crossed Shouchun and only attacked the downstream cities of Yinling and Zhongli. "
The remnants of Zhou Yu's navy could not retreat westward to Jiujiang, so they had to abandon their ships and land and change to an army to compete for Yinling City.
Our army fought with Zhou Yu's troops in Yinling for three days, but Zhou Yu failed to capture them, so he had to retreat.
Sun Ce failed to wait for Zhou Yu's reinforcements, and reluctantly withdrew from Guangling City. "
Generally, it came through Wang Xiu's simple way.
In general, Xu Ding is quite satisfied with the result.
He didn't want to extend the war to an infinite extent, and become a life-and-death duel, an endless situation.
Right now it's mainly about recuperation.
He is not afraid of the stable Youzhou and Jizhou, and the princes of the world go together.
"Zhou Yu can bear this breath, but I don't think that kid Sun Ce can bear it!" Xu Ding Banmi said with a smile.
Sun Ce is a master who does not suffer.
In this eastward advance, not only did they miss Guangling and Xiapi, but they also wiped out the navy, and also lost the city of Yinling in Jiangjiu Prefecture and Zhongli, an important city on the Huaihe River.
Zhongli is the gate of the Huaihe River in Jiujiang County, guarding here can effectively defend against warships coming from downstream.
On the contrary, Zhongli is in the hands of the Donglai navy, and the navy can attack Shouchun and the northern part of the Lujiang River along with the west.
This restricts Sun Ce too much, just like Wu Jun is in Xu Ding's hands, he can block Dajiang and Kuaiji County.
Make the Sun family powerless to look east.
Sun Ce, who is naturally aggressive, couldn't bear it.
"According to reports, Sun Ce was indeed attacking Yinling and Zhongli on purpose, but Zhou Yu persuaded him, and in the end Sun Ce suddenly gave up on this reckless move." Wang Xiu smiled contemptuously:
