When Chen Xi learned of Yuan Yao's death, he also received news of Liu Zhang leading troops to Hanzhong, Liu Biao attacking Jingzhou, turmoil in Xiliang, Yuan Shu planning to adopt Sunx Ce's son, Gan Ning having completed the task assigned by Chen Xi and returning to Mount Tai, along with some secret schemes from the Yuan Family's internal spies, and the secret plots of the Yang Family in Guanzhong.
Besides these major events, there were reports like Zang Hong planning to join Chen Gong to fight against the Hu People in Bingzhou, Hu Zhao sending Chen Gong a detailed map of the Hetao Region, Wei Yan and Guan Ping first losing then winning a big fight in the south of the Bohai Sea, and finally Wei Yan clashing with Gao Lan at the frontlines of Leling, with both reaching the state of Inner Qi Manifestation.
Speaking of which, one can't help but mention that Wei Yan's accumulation was still too little, much like Sunx Ce back in the day.
