The Western Expedition Army could not go further, but there were other reasons. The Western Regions were special, with various poisonous insects and poisons emerging one after another. The Central Plains lacked understanding of the Western Regions, and they were helpless with these side-minded people.

"Recently, there seems to be an additional Shache Kingdom in the Western Regions Alliance. When our army is fighting, it is often attacked by poisonous insects and snakes, and it is hard to defend against it." Cao Cao sighed.

He originally thought that the Western Regions were easy to deal with, but who knew that the actual situation was a bit different from what he thought.

The climate in the Western Regions is dry and rainy, and it is often windy and sand covers the sky and the sun. It is not easy for the people of the Western Regions to survive here.

The state-owned wizard of the Western Regions brakes is good at driving insects and snakes to fight. The army in the Western Regions is not afraid of the enemy. However, these poisons are sometimes dense and overwhelming, and are really difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the Western Regions coalition forces were limited and could not drive the Western Expedition army away from the territory of Khotan.

"Lord, I heard that there is a beast cavalry in the Wuling army. The chief general Mulu is good at controlling beasts. We can ask His Majesty to ask General Mulu to support us."

Xu Huang said.

Under the invasion of poisonous substances in the Western Regions, the soldiers were not very morale and people were bitten to death every day! The soldiers were not afraid of dying from the battlefield, but being bitten to death by poisonous insects was too frustrating.

"Mulu, the Mulu King of the Southern Barbarians?"

"The lord is this person."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll send someone back to Kyoto to explain the situation to His Majesty, and at the same time ask His Majesty to send General Mulu out."

In the end, Cao Cao decided to obey Xu Chu and Xu Huang's opinions and sent people back to Kyoto to request reinforcements.

This is also a helpless move. According to Cao Cao's expectations, he would wipe out the entire alien race and continue to go west. However, he has only destroyed ten small countries and is blocked here and cannot leave.

In February of the third year of China, the General of the Western Expedition sent people back to Beijing to report the effect of the Western Expedition to Emperor Wu Shun of Shu.

...

In the court, Wu Shun told the civil and military officials about the glorious achievements of the Western Expedition Army! More than ten of the country were destroyed, and it did exert the power of Shu!

Fa Zheng left the line and said to Wu Shun:

"The countries in the Western Regions belonged to the Central Plains as early as the Western Han Dynasty. Now Shu is expeditioning westward, and these small border countries dare to resist. I really don't know what it means. Your Majesty, I suggest sending elite Shu troops to the Western Regions and expanding their territory!"

Fazheng's words made the ministers' blood surge. Shortly after the establishment of Shu Kingdom, the blood of loyal ministers had not cooled down. As soon as it was stimulated, the factors of war were aroused.

"The army of the Western Expedition has a total of 20,000 troops. Do we still need to increase our troops? Moreover, the Western Expedition Army is not in the military sequence of our Shu Kingdom."

Wu Shun said.

The army of the Western Expedition was 20,000, all of them were Cao Cao's old subordinates, and even the generals were followed by Cao Cao before. In order to dispel Cao Cao's suspicion, Wu Shun even did not equip Cao Cao with military doctors and white-clothed nurses.

During the army's expedition to the west, Wu Shun only gave logistics supplies.

Now Cao Cao asked for reinforcements from the army and appointed Mulu to come over, which made Wu Shun a little difficult to do.

Because of Mu Lu, he participated in the rebellion of Meng Huo and Huaxia for the second year and was detained!

"Your Majesty is afraid that the army will reinforce, so the general of the Western Expedition will not be able to command the unified command?"

Fazheng asked the way.

"This is just one thing, and another thing, the General of the Western Expedition said that what blocked them was the poisonous substances from the Western Regions. He asked me to send a capable man who knows how to control beasts to help him."

Wu Shun said.

"A man who can control beasts, General Mulu can go." Fa Zhenglu said after thinking about it.

"Mulu is now in prison, how can she go to the Western Regions?" Wu Shun asked back.

In fact, Mu Lu's crime is too big, and it is too small. He was just coerced by Meng Huo as the Barbarian King and had no choice but to join Meng Huo's rebellion. In Meng Huo's army, Mu Lu did not do several times, which helped the White Tiger Legion suppress the rebellion to a certain extent. It is okay to say that he has made contributions.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the general who conquered the Western Regions could not defeat the Western Regions was to lose face. We should send troops to completely defeat the Western Regions! Mulu helped a lot when pacifying Meng Huo, and was not a traitor or evil person."

Zhang Xiong came out and said.

Whenever there was a chance to fight, Zhang Xiong couldn't sit still and even took the initiative to say good things to Mulu.

"What do you mean?" Wu Shun looked at the other ministers.

"We should send troops to support us!" said the ministers.

"Where is Mulu?" Wu Shun asked again.

"Your Majesty can allow him to make meritorious contributions!" said the ministers again.

"Okay, that's it! But who should I ask to support me?" Wu Shun was in trouble.

Now the generals are eager for this opportunity and are all watching.

"Kong Ming, what general should I go?"

At the critical moment, Wu Shun threw this difficult problem to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, since the general of the Western Expedition asked General Mulu to go, he simply sent the White Tiger Legion to support him. The White Tiger Legion is the most elite unit of our Shu Army. After the coordination and reorganization of the troops and the combat power has not been truly tested."

"Haha, thank you Mr. Zhuge!"

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Xiong couldn't help but smile happily and bowed to Zhuge Liang repeatedly for thanking him.

"The White Tiger Legion is a 50,000 army. There are only 20,000 troops under the command of the General of the West. Who will follow the command of the White Tiger Legion when he goes like this?" Wu Shun said.

When a large army fights outside, the most taboo thing is to be unclear.

When Zhang Xiong went to the Western Regions, with his identity and majesty, it was difficult for Cao Cao to command him. If the command power was unclear, it would be easy to have problems.

"Your Majesty, I have gone to the Western Regions and all combat plans will obey the General of the Western Expedition!" Zhang Xiong promised.

"Since that's the case, let's go there, take half of the soldiers to support, and bring Mulu with you too!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiong bowed and accepted the order.

After confirming that the White Tiger Legion will be used to reinforce, the other legion leaders will be unhappy, but this doesn't matter much. Each legion has been urgently strengthened, and the specific effect is unknown. It is also good to let the White Tiger Legion use a new configuration.

Mulu was released by Wu Shun. When Mulu learned that Wu Shun asked him to go to the Western Regions to commit crimes and make meritorious service, Mulu was so excited that she whistled to the sky. Facing the direction of the palace, she couldn't get up!

Mulu was loyal to His Majesty, and because of his identity, he had to disagree with Meng Huo's request. Fortunately, Meng Huo was beheaded by Zhang Xiong before he could last long. Although he was imprisoned, Wu Shun did not execute him as soon as possible, so there was still a chance.

Mu Lu, who returned to the White Tiger Legion, has made up her mind to not make mistakes easily. At the same time, he wants to show his talents and make Wu Shun look at him with admiration again!

In March of the third year of China, at the instruction of Wu Shun, the Duke of Shu, Zhang Xiong, led 25,000 White Tiger Army soldiers to the west to Yangguan to the Western Regions to support the Western General Cao Cao.
