Chapter 690

In just 5 days, the Jiangxia navy, Xiangyang navy, and others set out, heading toward Jiangdong.

Other ground forces also mobilized rapidly, heading straight for Yuzhang Commandery.

Such a large movement naturally could not be hidden from Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and even Yuan Shao.

Of course, it was also because Su Xuan never intended to hide it from them; in fact, he wanted them to know.

"Haha!"

Upon receiving the news of Su Xuan's deployment to Jiangdong, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh heartily, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart: "Boyuan has actually deployed troops to Jiangdong at this time? This is clearly intentional!"

"This is to put my mind at ease, allowing me to focus wholeheartedly on dealing with Yuan Shao!"

"He clearly hopes I win even more, so he can have a decisive battle with me later!"

"In that case, how can I fail to live up to his intentions?"

"I must win the decisive battle against Yuan Shao, and win it beautifully! What do you think, Wenruo?"

"Sigh!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu sighed slightly and said: "I didn't expect Prince Qian to have such boldness! He really isn't afraid of letting you become a formidable enemy, Lord!"

"This shows that in his view, even if you defeat Yuan Shao and take the three or even four northern provinces, he still has the confidence to defeat you!"

"For a moment, I don't know whether to be happy or worried!"

"But at least for us right now, this is good news!"

"Thus, we have absolutely no need to worry about or guard against Prince Qian's side and can focus on dealing with Yuan Shao!"

"In this way, our chances of winning against Yuan Shao increase by another twenty or thirty percent; the odds are even better!"

"Hmm!"

Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "That is enough! As for Boyuan being difficult to deal with? That is not something we should consider right now!"

"As long as I defeat Yuan Shao, even if I lose in the final struggle against Boyuan, I will be satisfied!"

He had reasons why he had to defeat Yuan Shao.

Back then, because of his background, he had to grovel and curry favor with Yuan Shao; he was extremely humble before Yuan Shao, and even when Yuan Shao ridiculed him and drove him like a dog, he had no way to resist.

But now, he wants to prove to Yuan Shao with his strength that he, Cao Cao, has never been inferior to Yuan Shao.

In fact, in terms of talent, he is far superior to Yuan Shao.

Being from a family of four generations of high officials is not something that cannot be surpassed.

A good background does not mean one's achievements can surpass me, Cao Cao.

"Indeed!"

Xun Yu nodded with a smile: "Only after defeating Yuan Shao and absorbing his forces and strength will we have the qualifications to think about dealing with Prince Qian!"

Immediately, Xun Yu and Cao Cao continued to discuss the details of the war against Yuan Shao.
