Of the 50,000 elites at the time of the expedition, only more than 30,000 can now return to Xuzhou.

The Canglong cavalry under the command of Zhao Yun did not suffer many casualties, after all, the cavalry did not participate in the siege battle.

But the Zhenbei army under Tai Shi Ci was disabled, and looking at the casualties of more than half of the people in the headquarters, Tai Shi Ci wanted to cry without tears.

"Ziyi, there is no need to be like this, after you go back, the Lone King will naturally supplement your soldiers. For

Tai Shici, Xiang Ji can only be so comforting.

Strictly speaking, this time the campaign against Liu Bei was a failure.

Although Liu Bei's 80,000 Qingzhou troops were also killed and wounded, Xiang's Chu army also suffered heavy casualties.

And the most important thing is that Xiang Ji did not get any benefits in Qingzhou.

Not to mention the extermination of Liu Bei, even the most basic gateway Chengyang has not been laid, which means that the Chu State sent troops this time to return in vain.

The towns and villages conquered along the way? How could they be defended without strong walls?

After all, they were too far away from their old nest, Pengcheng, and they couldn't afford to hurt the time they spent coming and going.

There is no point in defending with heavy troops, and if there are fewer soldiers, Liu Bei will be beaten back at any time.

Chicken.

It seems that after this period of successive victories, my mind has been washed away.

These ancients are not simple, whether it is Liu Bei or Cao Cao, even if it is Yuan Shu before.

There is no such thing as an easy one.

I must bear in mind this lesson, and if I am not completely sure, I will definitely not be able to raise troops lightly.

After this defeat, Xiang Ji has grown a lot,

and everything before was too smooth, whether it was the occupation of Xuzhou or the conquest of Yuan Shu, the continuous victories completely overwhelmed Xiang Ji's mind.

Looking back now, it's no wonder that Jia Xu didn't agree with his decision to go on the expedition at the beginning, and I think this is the reason.

Xiang Ji suddenly realized that his personality seemed to have changed a lot from his previous life.

In his previous life, although he was ruthless enough, he would never be as arrogant as he is now, and he will be so stubborn and self-serving.

Xiang Yu!?Is it you?Is it you?Is it you who have been influencing me? No!

I am Xiang Ji, I am not you, and I don't want to be

you! Look at it, Xiang Yu, I will take a different path from you!

"Lord Taiwei, now that Cao Cao's 100,000-strong army has crossed Mount Tai and arrived near the left side of Mengyin County in our country, can we just watch Cao Cao attack all the way?".

In the Pengcheng Council, the guard general Zang Ba roared loudly at Jia Xu, who was drinking tea.

The literati are just unreliable, and now that Cao Cao has invaded the territory of our country, Jia Xu, as the chief official, has turned a blind eye

? You must know that Cao Cao's 100,000-strong army has destroyed many fields along the way, and how many civilians have been killed? These are all the property of my Chu State

! Damn, when the overlord comes back, I must sue this guy!

Just when Zang Ba was preparing to complain to Jia Xu in his heart, Jia Xu, who had been speechless, spoke out.

"Xuan Gao, if you want to sue the overlord, then you have to hurry.

In terms of time, I'm afraid that the overlord's army has already returned to Xuzhou, right? "

What? What

did this thing just say? Isn't the overlord fighting Qingzhou? Why did he come back so quickly? Could this destroy Liu Bei?

Looking at Zang Ba with a bewildered face, Jia Xu got up and left.

It is necessary to explain so much to people who are not on the line with this kind of IQ

? What an obvious thing, if the overlord's campaign in Qingzhou progresses, Cao Cao will still be in the mood to rush to Pengcheng

? I'm afraid that he has already rushed to Qingzhou in a hurry, right? Siege Wei to save Zhao? Hehe, doesn't that also depend on the specific situation? If Zhao is gone, what is the point of encircling Wei or not?

I'm afraid that the overlord should have also received a message from Cao Cao to send troops.

Then, according to the calculation of time, Xiang Ji, who had nothing to gain in Qingzhou, naturally had to lead the army back to meet Cao Cao.

Regarding Xiang Ji's battle in Qingzhou, Jia Xu was not optimistic from the beginning, after all, Liu Bei was not Yuan Shu, and it was impossible to give Xiang Ji the opportunity to break with one blow.

If it falls into a stalemate, then the 50,000 troops brought by Xiang Ji want to quickly take Qingzhou, it can only be wishful thinking.

As for why Jia Xu didn't persuade Xiang Xu to send troops?

One is because Jia Xu's personality is dictated, and Jia Xu, who has a strong sense of self-preservation, is really unwilling to say a word that is unfavorable to him.

You know, Xiang Ji's winning streak all the way Jia Xu is in his eyes, and at such a time, he poured cold water on him? Jia Xu didn't have that interest anyway.

Another is that this is also Jia Xu's test of Xiang Ji.

If Xiang Ji is still so stubborn after this defeat, then Jia Xu's evaluation of him can only be the second Xiang Yu.

If this is the case, I am afraid that Jia Xu, who has a strong sense of self-preservation, will begin to prepare to consider the problem of the next family.

And if Xiang Ji can learn a lesson from this matter, then Jia Xu will naturally help him.

You know, this is already the third prince.

If Xiang Ji can really win the title one day, then Jia Xu will naturally become the founding hero.

It is a matter of great interest to one's own reputation and to future generations.

You must know that Chinese people, especially ancient Chinese people, are most concerned about their children and grandchildren.

As long as it can bless the descendants of the country, what if

it bears the infamy of a lifetime? Not to mention that as a hero of the founding of the country, I am afraid that the infamy will not be borne by Jia Xu.

"Fengxiao, now our army has entered the territory of Xuzhou.

In your opinion, our army is continuing to march so slowly that it will force the army to retreat.

Or is it taking advantage of the thunderous momentum to seize Qizhou County?" Cao

Cao, who had recently seized Luoyang, had been in a state of high spirits, looking at Guo Jia, who was attracted by the recruitment list he had set up, Cao Cao asked about his exit.

This Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu all said that he had the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, but I didn't see Cao Mou

? Every day he was lazy as if he had no bones, and he knew where he was drinking?

Because Guo Jia had just cast his name, Cao Cao didn't know much about him.

It's only because it is highly recommended by his subordinates that Cao Cao can endure Guo Jia's lazy appearance, otherwise in such a state, he is afraid that he will be swept out of the house by Boss Cao.

"Lord, since you have already made a decision, why bother to ask me?

If you really plan to attack Xuzhou with the power of thunder, I am afraid that our army has already reached the left of Pengcheng, right?"

Guo Jia naturally knew Cao Cao's thoughts, but after all, the new investment still had to deal with a few words.

In this world, it's not easy to find a stable meal ticket...

After getting Guo Jia's answer, Boss Cao nodded with satisfaction.

Yes, this drunkard really understands me.
