Chapter 111: The White Tiger Army Expedition (2)
After Kuai Liang returned to Jingzhou, he told Liu Biao about Wu Shun's conditions. Considering the current urgent situation, Liu Biao waved his hand and the grain and military supplies that Wu Shun wanted were loaded and transported immediately, and it was delivered to Linyuan City within a few days.
"Yuan Zhi, I didn't expect that Liu Biao was so anxious, and the food and grass were in place. Look at which day the White Tiger Legion sets off?"
The supplies in Jingzhou were in place, and in order to keep the promise, the Wuling Army naturally needed to be dispatched. Wu Shun was discussing with Xu Shu that supporting 20,000 people and so many generals was enough to give face.
If the generals under Wu Shun had not actively asked for the battle, Wu Shun would not have let them go. However, when the Wuling Army attacked Yizhou, there was a battle. Now let these generals get familiar with the battlefield, and the efficiency of doing business would be better at that time.
Originally, Xu Shu did not advocate supporting Liu Biao, but Wu Shun agreed and he could not object. Moreover, the reason Wu Shun gave him was a bit absurd, which was actually restricting Liu Bei.
In Xu Shu's impression, although Liu Bei was known as the emperor's uncle and had a good reputation, he almost lost every battle. Now he is even more dependent on Liu Biao, and Xu Shu doesn't think Liu Bei can threaten Wuling. This is trust in Wu Shun and confidence in his own abilities.
"Since the lord wants to curb Liu Bei, it is better to go to the White Tiger Legion to fight sooner rather than later!"
Xu Shu is indeed talking about this truth. If you want to prevent others from making meritorious service, you must arrive before the war begins. Otherwise, Liu Bei and Xiahou Dun will fight, as long as they can maintain their hopes, they will make meritorious service.
"When you arrive at Bowang, take over the command right away. Then Liu Bei will definitely give the command right to you in a hypocritical manner. Don't be polite to him then!"
Wu Shun knew Liu Bei's evil intentions very well. If Xu Shu was not reminded, he would probably be deceived by Liu Bei's unparalleled appearance. In this way, the White Tiger Legion would become someone else's cannon fodder.
"I'm sure!"
Xu Shu didn't understand why, but in his mind, the lord would not be aimless. Since that's the case, it must make sense. Xu Shu just didn't understand why Wu Shun couldn't get along with Liu Bei.
If Wu Shun knew what Xu Shu was thinking at this time, he might say: Liu Bei was the one who could not be beaten to death. If he was not careful, he would make a comeback.
Seeing that Wu Shun was not saying anything, Xu Shu quickly asked:
"Lord, why not be the oath-taking meeting will be scheduled tomorrow?"
Anyway, we all have to go to the battle, it’s the same day early or late. It just so happens that tomorrow is the auspicious day. If you go to the battle tomorrow, the signs will be better!
"Yes, please give me everything!"
After deciding the date of the war, Xu Shu was naturally busy. All things were waiting for him to arrange. Wu Shu was used to being a hand-off manager, and Xu Shu usually did these small things himself.
After Xu Shu left, Wu Shun returned to the backyard, watching Xiaobai embroidery and accompanying Tian Qian'er to practice swordsmanship. The family of three seemed harmonious and happy.
Early the next morning, there were drums in the White Tiger Legion camp, and the soldiers lined up in an orderly line, heading into Linyuan City Square with strong and powerful steps.
At this time, Wu Shun stood on the stage. The breeze blew, bringing up the blood-red wind behind him, wearing general armor, saying that he was extremely heroic. Tian Qian'er, who was beside him, had already been fascinated by the sight.
Xu Shu stood on Wu Shun's right hand, one position behind. Seeing Wu Shun's appearance, Xu Shu said intimately that his lord was usually too casual and did not want to wear armor today, but he was so arrogant that he could attract countless eyes by standing there.
Linyuan Square was already full of people. They heard the sound of war drums and saw the White Tiger Legion gathering, so they came over to see what was going on.
"Old Li, look at the momentum of our Wuling Army is really exciting!"
"Yes, if I could be ten years younger, I would definitely sign up to join the army and contribute to the prefect!"
"Didn't your second child join the army? Why didn't you see it?"
"Oh, stop talking. That boy was not good at it and was defeated by participating in the White Tiger Camp election. He is now staying in Xuanwu Camp."
"What a pity Erwazi is good at martial arts..."
For conversations like this, you can see everywhere in the square. Some people shouted and shouted happily when they saw their son, and their faces were full of pride...
When the first person to enter the field was the White Tiger Camp, two thousand people lined up in an orderly queue, walked to the point and stood in front of the stage. When they saw Wu Shun's figure, a burst of fever burst out in their eyes, and their hands holding the weapons tighter and their bodies straightened.
Wu Shun didn't take them to war for a long time. They missed the days when they fought with the enemy with Wu Shun.
The White Tiger Camp was brought out by Wu Shun in Yunling, and he had extraordinary feelings for them. When the last row of soldiers stood still, Wu Shun shouted:
"Baihu Camp!"
"See lord!"
The entire White Tiger Camp knelt on one knee, his movements were neat and neat!
"Okay, please get up with all the soldiers! This time we fight in Jingzhou, we must make the name of Wuling!"
The reputation of the White Tiger Camp was very famous as early as the time of the fight against Dong. There were very few troops comparable to the White Tiger Camp. The princes often compared the White Tiger Camp with the Crane Camp under Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao's first-hand camp. Since the White Tiger Camp became famous earlier, the White Tiger Camp often ranks first.
In a quarter of an hour, the 20,000 White Tiger Legion had assembled, and the generals who followed the army to fight were all in their place.
Zhang Xiong stood at the front of the team, looking at Wu Shun on the stage with a thrilling look. He could no longer wait. Zhang Xiong was born to like fighting, and the battlefield was where he discovered his own value.
"All the soldiers, Cao Cao was unrighteous and sent troops to attack Jingzhou without authorization. At this time, the front line was in a tight position. Lord Liu, the governor of the state, asked us to support immediately and repel Cao Cao. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
At the oath-taking meeting before the expedition, we always have to explain a few words and put ourselves on a just standpoint. Now the Wuling Army is helping Liu Biao fight Cao Cao, protecting the country and safeguarding the people, and naturally occupying the righteous side.
Listening to the soldiers' shouts at the top of their lungs, Wu Shun was very satisfied and immediately ordered:
"Set off!"
The White Tiger Legion instantly changed its back team to the front team and headed towards the city gate.
"Brother, I'm leaving too!"
Zhang Xiong actually wanted to follow Wu Shun to the Southern Barbarians, but unfortunately the White Tiger Army was on the expedition this time, so he had to follow the army to Jingzhou. Fortunately, the White Tiger Army had Xu Shu, and there was no problem, but the White Tiger Camp was used to Zhang Xiong's leadership. As the commander of the White Tiger Camp, the White Tiger Camp with Zhang Xiong and the White Tiger Camp without Zhang Xiong, the combat power difference was huge.
According to Wu Shun, with Zhang Xiong's leadership, the White Tiger Camp is the tiger that chooses people to eat.
Xu Shu was fully responsible for this expedition. As the highest-level general, Zhang Xiong was only responsible for leading troops to attack. The other generals who followed the army to fight had to completely obey Xu Shu.
