Li Ru understood this, but what's the use of this! He couldn't stop all this! With the current strength of the coalition forces, he was no match for the Youzhou Army at all! If the princes in the world could really work together, there was still a glimmer of hope, but how could the princes work together? Not to mention anything else, even he himself had selfish intentions? Li Ru now knows that what Cao Cao said about three-point division of the world is actually a joke, a painting cake that Cao Cao deliberately gave them to get rid of the predicament!

If we can really divide the world into three parts, why didn’t Cao Cao, the initiator, send troops to attack Youzhou? Attack from Guandu, what a joke? How can you cross the river without a naval army? Okay, you have to train the naval army, but when will you have to train well? As for Qingzhou, it’s even more joking. Now, you know that Qingzhou has no value at all, and Youzhou doesn’t have many troops anywhere. Jin has occupied Qingzhou, so it can’t help weakening Youzhou! It turns out that Cao Cao didn’t want to divide the world into three parts with the Xiliang army, but wanted to bear the anger of the Youzhou army for him!

After thinking about this, Li Ru lost his passion. He knew that the Xiliang Army was already angry and resentful in the whole world. The reason why no one had dealt with them was because the people who wanted to deal with them did not have the strength. Those who had the strength to deal with them had no time to deal with them! The reason why the Xiliang Army was able to gain a foothold was because it was because the Xiliang Army had a huge army. If the vision of the Xiliang Army was weakened, people would not let them go! Therefore, if you want to continue to survive, you must save the Xiliang Army! You must not work well here. If you don’t let them go, command Cao Cao and others! Thinking about this, Li Ru would be even lower in the** development with the Youzhou Army!

Li Ru didn't want to continue to fight anymore. The others didn't want to continue to fight! The Ma family army and Yuan Shu's troops, their territory was separated from the territory of the Youzhou army. Even if they defeated the Youzhou army in front of them, these territory would not fall into their hands. They didn't have much battle, and now Li Ru, the leader, is not ready to fight anymore, so they naturally don't want to fight anymore! So the situation continued to be stalemate!

Of course, the stalemate did not last long. Because Liu Bin's plan took effect! First of all, the people lurking within the Xiliang Army were bewitched by Guo Si and Li Que, and others, which made Guo Si and Li Que and others start to oppose Niu Fu and were ready to replace him! Guo Si and Li Que were originally generals under Dong Zhuo, and their reputation and power within the Xiliang Army were greater than Niu Fu! Niu Fu was able to rise rapidly. It was mainly because he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law! When Dong Zhuo was still alive, Guo Si and Li Que might even give him three points for Dong Zhuo's sake, but after Dong Zhuo's death, it would be different!

The Xiliang Army is located on the border and actually fights with foreign races. Therefore, the influence of wild beasts and foreign races is the strongest! Dong Zhuo is stronger than them. So they can accept Dong Zhuo's leadership, but Niu Fu is not as good as them. They naturally do not accept Niu Fu! Moreover, Niu Fu is just Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, not Dong Zhuo's son. He has a legitimate inheritance right. So they naturally do not accept it! The reason why they agreed to Niu Fu in command of the Xiliang army was because Dong Zhuo died suddenly.

Moreover, the threats from the external forces of the Western Liang army are not allowed to fight within them. With Li Ru's threat, they can only obey! Now that Li Ru is leading the army outside, they occupy the base of the Western Liang army. It can be said that the power and threats of Niu Fu and Li Ru have been reduced to the minimum level! In addition to some of the intrigues of Youzhou spies, some analysis of some of the world's situation, and finally, people like Li Sulubu can live in Youzhou. Therefore, Guo Si and Li Que were moved!

This time, the coalition of princes invaded Bingzhou together. In order to deal with Liu Bin and realize what Cao Cao said, Li Ru put on most of his and Niu Fu's conscience troops, while Guo Si and Li Que remained in Chang'an. In order to play a threat, Niu Fu did not come out. So Guo Si and Li Que contacted their conscience troops, and exploded and surrounded Niu Fu in Chang'an City. When the Xiliang army was disrupted, Li Ru's heart was also confused. He knew that Chang'an was the last base of the Xiliang army. If Chang'an was not protected, then the Xiliang army would be in the house in the future. So in desperation, he had to prepare to withdraw his troops!

On the other hand, the plan to deceive Yuan Shu was also successful! Yuan Shu was originally a self-confidant person, with a strong sense of vanity and a disgrace. After obtaining the jade seal of the kingdom, he had the intention to become an emperor! In his opinion, the Han Dynasty was no longer popular and was destined to perish. Now that the princes compete for hegemony, no one took the Han Dynasty seriously! He was from a three-time family and came from a famous family. With his own name as a sign, he also implied that he could be an emperor. If he became emperor, he would definitely be a call and the princes in the world bowed down to his subordinates. However, Sun Ce had just taken away some of his troops at that time, and Cao Cao was in a strong momentum on the back, and Xu Du's small court still had a little prestige.

The most important thing is Liu Bin's big change! Liu Bin is the largest prince in the world and a relative of the Han family. Because of him, the power of the royal family is still very strong. Yuan Shu can despise Cao Cao and does not care about his strength. At the same time, he can despise Liu Bin's character and background, but he cannot ignore the powerful strength of the Youzhou Army! After all, the prince who fell under Liu Bin's iron hooves, especially his brother Yuan Shao, who has always looked down on and born to his servant, was destroyed by Liu Bin. These are all bloody lessons. Although Yuan Shu is arrogant, he is not a fool. He has to be careful when he learns from the past!

It was because of Liu Bin and the threat of the powerful Youzhou Legion that Yuan Shu rashly proclaimed himself emperor and went to seek death as soon as he obtained the imperial seal. However, this situation did not last long! When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Chen Gong rebelled within Cao Cao's territory. Although Cao Cao finally turned the tide, his strength suffered a great loss. This is an indisputable fact! Cao Cao's strength has been weakened a lot, which has reduced Yuan Shu's most direct threat in the north! Yuan Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief! In his opinion, the two biggest obstacles to his claim to emperor were Liu Bin from Youzhou, followed by Cao Cao who played with him. Now Cao Cao's power has been greatly weakened. It is a great thing for him!

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao sent someone to contact Yuan Shu and said that he would be besieging Youzhou Army with the Xiliang army! Yuan Shu was naturally very happy when he heard this! Cao Cao was no longer afraid of the two obstacles that prevented him from becoming emperor. If he borrowed the hands of other princes at this time and weakened Liu Bin's Youzhou Army, then the obstacles that prevented him from becoming emperor would be cleared! At that time, he could easily ascend the throne and become emperor, and then unify the world and establish a foundation for all generations! Therefore, although Yuan Shu had deep hatred with the Xiliang army, in order to defeat Liu Bin, he decided to abandon his past grudges and unite with the Xiliang army to eliminate Liu Bin!

In Yuan Shu's view, the imperial seal is really his lucky star! After obtaining the imperial seal, everything seems to be developing in a powerful way to him! After obtaining the imperial seal, he can ascend the throne with justice; when he was worried that Cao Cao would threaten his emperor, Liu Bei stabbed Cao Cao in the back, causing Cao Cao's strength to be greatly damaged and threatened him! When he was worried that Liu Bin, a Han clan, would march towards him because he ascended the throne and became emperor, Cao Cao, the young man, took the initiative to join forces with him to deal with Liu Bin! Yuan Shu never felt that the world was so beautiful!

In his opinion, even though Liu Bin's Youzhou army was strong, he would suffer a lot in the face of his siege, the Xiliang army, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Cao Cao's many sieges! Even when dealing with this siege, he was not wiped out in one fell swoop. However, his strength would be greatly reduced, and he obediently gave up the throne of the world's largest lord to himself. From then on, it would be difficult to threaten him! In his opinion, since the army of the many lords was sent out, he was already sure to win! He could ascend the throne and become emperor soon!

So after sending Zhang Xun to command hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Liu Bin, Yuan Shu always smiled! Yuan Shu's performance made his subordinates a little confused. Usually, Yuan Shu was moody, why did he keep smiling now? Soon, everyone understood what was going on. Although some people disagree with this, no one would pour cold water on Yuan Shu at this time! On the contrary, many people who were able to become founding heroes all made suggestions at this time to make Yuan Shu become emperor! Of course, there were also some wise people who opposed becoming emperors at this time! The matter of becoming emperor began to spread in Yuan Shu's territory.

However, the rumors were not very serious at the beginning! After Liu Bin's order was passed on to the hands of the spies lurking in Yuan Shu's territory, Yuan Shu's territory began to exaggerate the matter of Yuan Shu's title of emperor! The spies of the spies of the intelligence agency began to tempt Yuan Shu's title of emperor with various methods! Spread rumors among the people and create so-called auspiciousness, proving that Yuan Shu's title of emperor was in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people. Then, the officials who had been bribed by Youzhou kept slandering Yuan Shu, allowing him to follow the will of heaven and inherit the throne!

That's not all. In order to ensure that just in case, these people also bewitched Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, asking him to persuade Yuan Shu to become emperor as soon as possible! Yuan Shu is a guy with great ambitions and talent, but no matter what, this guy is still a little capable, not too stupid, but his son is completely foolish! He has no ability at all, but he has learned Yuan Shu's character of being so happy! Originally, Yuan Yao was already moved when he heard others persuade Yuan Shu to become emperor. After all, if Yuan Shu became emperor, he would be the unquestionable prince and he could inherit the throne in the future! But at the beginning he didn't know Yuan Shu's thoughts and did not dare to act rashly! Now that he stopped bewitching the people around him, he saw so many people persuading him. Although Yuan Shu did not agree, he did not punish these people. He knew that Yuan Shu was actually already moved, just pretending to be hypocritical!

After understanding this, Yuan Yao also began to launch an offensive! He not only encouraged some of his subordinates to advise Yuan Shu, but also mobilized his family to persuade Yuan Shu to ascend the throne as soon as possible! With this all-round and three-dimensional persuasion, Yuan Shu was very happy. In fact, he had been moved for a long time, but he was a little worried about the ideas of his subordinates, and the external environment was a little worried. Now everyone is encouraged to ascend the throne and become emperor, so it would be a pity for Yuan Shu to not take action! What's more, if he did this, he would still damage Ying Tianyi and follow the will of the people!

Of course, Yuan Shu was moved and was about to ascend the throne and become emperor. This did not mean that he would do this immediately. He knew that although Cao Cao's strength was now lost, the princes around him were not as strong as him, but they were not afraid of 10,000, but they were afraid of it! Now part of his army followed Sun Ce to Jiangdong. The other part was led by Zhang Xun to attack Liu Bin, and less than one-third of his territory was left, which was already seriously empty. If someone waited for Hengdi several times at this time and someone came to attack him, he would be in trouble! So what Yuan Shu had to do first was to recall the troops led by Zhang Xun!

Now that the princes have been besieging Youzhou for so long, the Youzhou army must have suffered heavy losses and is not enough to fight against him! Cao Cao also suffered heavy losses and is no longer a problem! And around him, Sun Ce is his subordinate and will not be an enemy of him, while Liu Yao is blocked by Sun Ce! Cao Cao is not able to attack him now. In other words, as long as he guards against Liu Biao in Jingzhou, everything will be fine! So the order to recall Zhang Xun's army was passed to Zhang Xun's hands!

After being ordered by Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun decided to lead the army without much hesitation! Zhang Xun was also very clear about the current situation in Bingzhou. The vassal coalitions were constantly dirty and intrigueing each other, and there was no way to unite against the Youzhou army. Moreover, the Youzhou army was much stronger than the vassal coalitions. In addition, it was a local war, which occupied the right time, place and people. If you persist for a long time, the people who suffered the loss in the end were themselves. Instead of staying here, they could not make achievements, and they had to deal with open and hidden arrows and lose their strength. It would be better to rush back as soon as possible! If you are far away from Shucheng, you can also be considered a founding hero. At that time, you will be promoted and enjoy wealth and honor. Isn’t it much better to suffer here? After thinking about these things, Zhang Xun will naturally not hesitate!

However, although the two armies are not fighting now, they are still in a state of resistance. If they withdraw their troops rashly, they may be taken advantage of the situation. In that case, the withdrawal may become a defeated army. At that time, the people below will not understand the situation, and there will be no idea how many troops can be withdrawn! So if you want to withdraw, you must come up with a safe way! When Zhang Xun was thinking of a solution, he received the reward from the following topic of talk, saying that the Xiliang army, under the preparation of Li Ru, seemed to be retreating! Zhang Xun's eyes turned and finally came up with a solution!

So Zhang Xun directly found Li Ru and asked him straightforwardly if he planned to withdraw his troops. Li Ru had to withdraw his troops this time. If Guo Si and Li Que were not suppressed as soon as possible, they would be known by other princes for a long time, and then the Xiliang army would be completely finished! That's why he asked everything to be kept secret! Now that Zhang Xun came to ask, he certainly would not tell the truth, so he tried to say some perfunctory words! Dispel Zhang Xun's idea, he thought that Zhang Xun was coming to cause trouble for them!

However, since Zhang Xun had already determined that Li Ru was going to withdraw his troops, no matter what Li Ru said, Zhang Xun thought he was guilty of being a thief! However, he was too lazy to refute, so he straightforwardly said that he would also be ordered to withdraw his troops. The reason why he came to Li Ru was to discuss the withdrawal with Li Ru. After all, if the army withdraws rashly, if the Youzhou army takes the opportunity to attack, it will definitely suffer heavy losses! In that case, the withdrawal of troops will be meaningless. This time, they siege Youzhou not only did not cause any losses to Youzhou, but instead paid all their capital, which would be too unpaid!

When Li Ru heard this, his eyes turned around. He didn't believe Zhang Xun's words. After contacting this period, he knew that Zhang Xun said he wanted to withdraw his troops, so he really wanted to withdraw his troops. It must be Yuan Shu who felt something, so he didn't want to compensate the army here! According to the plan they discussed with Cao Cao, even if the Youzhou army could not cause heavy losses, he had to find a way to make the Yau Shu farmers lose heavy losses. But now Li Ru has already felt that he had been deceived by Cao Cao and others. He was equivalent to enduring the anger of the Youzhou army for Cao Cao! Since this is the case, of course he would not act according to the original plan. Keeping Yuan Shu's troops can also restrain Cao Cao so that Cao Cao would not succeed so easily! On the contrary, he also wanted to add a little trouble to Cao Cao!

So Li Ru smiled and said, "Since General Zhang said so, I won't hide it anymore! Yes, I plan to withdraw my troops! If you continue to stalemate here, it will be of no benefit to you and me! General Zhang's club team should indeed arrange a proper plan when withdrawing troops. Youzhou army cannot take advantage of the situation and give it a free gift for that boy Liu Bin! I just don't know what General Zhang has to make us withdraw safely and safely, and at the same time, he can hold up the Youzhou army and cause some losses to the Youzhou army? I'm short-sighted, so I'll ask General Zhang to give some advice! Here, here, I'll give our Xiliang army first and thank General Zhang!" After saying that, Li Ru bowed respectfully to Zhang Xun! Li Ru deliberately showed a low attitude, which made Zhang Xun feel very satisfied, and satisfied his vanity mentality! (..)
