In Jingbei, many Jin troops originally located in Nanjun and Jiangxia have been transferred to Nanyang, which seems to pose a threat to Yuan Shu. However, some people can find that in this position, in addition to Yuan Shu, there is no threat to Yuan Shu.
Liu Che will be even more threatening.
Not only that, although Bai Qi was not there, Feng Yi, who acted as Yongzhou's military affairs agent, pressed his army southward, creating a stormy posture towards Yizhou.
Such a big move by the Jin army made Liu Xiu clearly understand that it was sending a signal to him. He did not want Liu Che to develop and grow, nor did he want Liu Che to easily and completely annex Xiang Yu.
Moreover, the Nanjun and Jiangxia troops moved north, which was still a signal that the Jin army would not interfere with Liu Xiu for the time being, allowing Liu Xiu to do whatever he wanted.
Yes, of course Li Xiang does not want Liu Che to develop further, let alone annex Xiang Yu. This is his next goal. Liu Che's growth means that he will become more and more difficult to deal with in the future. If it can be stopped
If so, Li Xiang would naturally not regard Liu Che as annexing Xiang Yu.
However, for the war in Yizhou, we must not start it lightly before we are completely prepared. With the terrain of Yizhou, if one does not handle it well, it is likely to turn into a real millstone of flesh and blood. After the grinding is completed, it cannot be polished.
It's a millstone that others have worn away. Before you actually start here, you must make adequate preparations in advance.
Therefore, when the war cannot be started lightly, it is difficult for Li Xiang to find any powerful means other than heavy pressure with troops. Moreover, with the complex terrain of Yizhou, even if it is heavy pressure with troops
The effect is also limited.
A true king, after he decides on his goal, even if there are difficulties, he will use countless means to overcome the difficulties and move forward to achieve his goal.
Whether it was the Battle of Yongliang or the Battle of Jingbei, Li Xiang had many princes in the world coming to stop him, but he still did not give up and continued to fight forcefully.
When Temujin annexed Yelu Abaoji, didn't Tuoba Tao stop him? Even Li Xiang intervened to some extent. But did Temujin give up in the process?
In the process of Qin Shihuang unifying the entire Youzhou, when he made up his mind to take advantage of the great opportunity to completely eliminate Liu Bang, didn't Li Tang also send troops at that time? However, this did not dispel Qin Shihuang's idea of completely unifying the entire Youzhou.
, but made him more determined.
In the same way, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che did not lack such ambition and perseverance. If Li Xiang really just put heavy pressure on him, it would not be enough to make Liu Che give up annexing Xiang Yu.
Of course, when it's not convenient for him to do it himself, Li Xiang doesn't mind borrowing the power of others first.
Liu Xiu, although the two sides have just experienced a life and death battle, even Liu Xiu's current tragic end is all thanks to Li Xiang.
However, in the adult world, hatred is hatred. When benefits come, hatred cannot be temporarily put down, and at worst, it can be picked up again later.
And Li Xiang's attitude made Liu Xiu clearly understand that Li Xiang supported him in taking action at this time. And if Liu Xiu wanted to take action, the most suitable target at this stage is of course Xiang Yu. Is it difficult to return the favor?
Would you say Liu Che or Zhu Yuanzhang?
Yes, Li Xiang supported Liu Xiu to attack Xiang Yu while Xiang Yu was using all his strength to deal with Liu Che.
After Liu Xiu experienced a disastrous defeat, although he was extremely weak at this time, between Xiang Yu and Liu Xiu, Li Xiang still believed in Liu Xiu's ability more.
It is really difficult to let Xiang Yu take up the banner of preventing Liu Che from developing and growing. Li Xiang really does not believe that Xiang Yu has this ability! Overlord's military level is good, but he is too easily affected by his personality, and this is exposed to
There is a fatal weakness in front of people like Liu Che.
Moreover, even if Li Xiang can save Xiang Yu, he can only save him temporarily, and he will still be annexed by others in the end!
Last time, Xiang Yu severely tricked Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu behind their backs. Among the princes in the south, Xiang Yu quickly created a situation where he had enmity with everyone and established himself as the opposite of everyone.
, who can help him in this situation!
Anyway, Li Xiang doesn't have that kind of self-confidence, and he definitely won't take that leisurely approach.
It is precisely because of this that between Xiang Yu and Liu Xiu, Li Xiang recognizes Liu Xiu's side more.
Of course, given Liu Xiu's current situation, even if Xiang Yu's territory is left there for him to eat, even if he eats it until he is exhausted, he may not be able to eat much.
Therefore, Liu Xiu alone was not enough to stop Liu Che. But in the end, it was enough. After all, don't forget that there was another powerful prince in the south, Zhu Yuanzhang.
Moreover, if you do Liu Xiu a favor, you don't expect him to develop into a decisive role in the south all of a sudden. This is simply impossible. And if Liu Xiu's strength becomes stronger, he will be a time for the southern princes.
The role of the bomb is that it may explode at any time. People like Liu Xiu will not give up his ambition!
In Li Xiang's view, the situation in which the two heroes Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che compete is far better than the situation in which Liu Che and Zhu Yuanzhang are one strong and the other weak. If these two people are really strong and the other weak, it will allow one of them to unify the entire Jingyang Yijiao.
The situation in the state. If one of these two people can do this, they will not be weak when facing Li Xiang!
But if two people are fighting against each other and there is not much difference in strength, then it will be difficult for these two people to annex each other. The four states of Jing Yang and Yijia will never be unified, and they will still be unable to compete with Li Xiang head-on.
What's more, when two heroes compete, while they are at war with each other, they will also inevitably consume each other's strength.
In addition, if Liu Xiu can really take advantage of this opportunity to develop and grow, he will be able to better check and balance the situation in the south. Perhaps Liu Xiu's strength at that time will never be comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang or Liu Che, but Liu Xiu is
It was originally the biggest time bomb.
But if it is a battle between two heroes, Liu Xiu, caught in the middle, will be safe to a certain extent! After all, neither side will let the other side easily annex Liu Xiu!
Of course, just like why Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to leave Liu Xiu in Jingnan in the first place, Liu Xiu is still useful to Zhu Yuanzhang. At least, when resisting the Jin army in the future, Liu Xiu and the series of talents under his command will be indispensable.
Moreover, now Zhu Yuanzhang also needs Liu Xiu to fight against Liu Che. Otherwise, it may be difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang and his family to face Liu Che alone after this feather is wiped out.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had just experienced a major defeat, and he was still focused on Japan and Runan. Although he was not the main force on either side, he still could not avoid the problem of too many battle paths.
As for Li Xiang, even though his goal is not to turn the two heroes into a three-hero struggle for hegemony, he must try to develop Liu Xiu into a force on the stage in the process and further increase the chances of the unification of the south.
Difficulty.
Li Xiang had one goal from beginning to end: the South could never be unified, nor could there be any signs of being unified.
