It is clear that Chen Xi's troop distribution left most of the generals dissatisfied. Except for Yu Jin, who was quite pleased with being appointed as the vanguard, the others were not so content, but they still obeyed Chen Xi's commands.
After the meeting adjourned, Chen Xi kept Liu Ye and Fa Zheng back. "It seems that no one is very happy with my allocations?"
"Of course they're not happy. Give me a set of troops and let me attack Jizhou," Fa Zheng scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"No way," Chen Xi said irritably. "Our target is ultimately Ye City. Don't forget the first step. And as you yourself said, since I've already made the arrangements, I won't bother concealing my intentions anymore."
"Xuangao is stationed in Qingzhou, Wen Chang is in Qinghe, our lord is in Linyi, and we are in Jiyin. Striking Yuan Shao on multiple fronts to stretch him thin won't be easy," Liu Ye said calmly.
