Xu Du, Sikong Mansion.

Although the capital of the Han Dynasty is now in Xudu, the place where major matters are handled is indeed Sikong Mansion. Civil and military officials went to court to discuss politics and were just a formality.

In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao and his advisers were discussing the next trend of Cao's army.

"Lord, Yizhou may have to take action against Chang'an. According to detailed returns, the White Tiger Legion of the Wuling Army has secretly stationed in Hanzhong!"

Xun Yu had dealt with Wu Shun, and you knew your ambition to expand in Yizhou. Now Cao Cao was mainly worried about Yuan Shao in the north, and Xun Yu felt that he had to be on guard against Wu Shun.

"Wu Shun's move is a second move. You can attack and retreat or defend. Now we are aggressive in the north, and Wu Shun in the west is about to expand! There are also Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Biao nearby."

His situation is very subtle, which can be said to have a single blow to move the whole body. Although Cao Cao had some wisdom, he could not think of any good way to deal with it at this moment.

"Lord, Chang'an cannot be occupied by Yizhou. Otherwise, it will be unfavorable to our army's situation!"

Cheng Yu stepped forward and said, "The land of Luoyang in Chang'an can be regarded as a buffer zone for the two major forces, Cao Cao and Wu Shun."

Once one side breaks this balance, the two forces will inevitably trigger friction!

"Zhongde's words are reasonable. If Wu Shun takes Chang'an and the Yizhou cavalry will be happy, he will be able to go east at any time, but we will be passive. It would be better if this situation does not occur."

As a hero in troubled times, Cao Cao still has a clear view of things. He is good at listening to opinions and can make quick judgments. This is not a little better than Yuan Shao.

"Maybe there is no need to send troops to capture Chang'an. When I heard that Li Ju and Guo Si were in disagreement, I just need to provoke it!"

Another great counselor of Cao Cao, Xun You, said that the situation in Chang'an is now chaotic, and the soldiers of Xiliang are in panic, so there are too many factors that can be used.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Gongda. You must not let the Yizhou soldiers enter Chang'an!"

"I'm going to receive the order!"

Cao Cao has taken action, but Wu Shun has already made preparations. Just after the end of the year, everyone is waiting for the climate to warm!

...

March was coming in a blink of an eye, and Wu Shun teased his son in the backyard. Xiaobai, who was beside him, watched the father and son play, his eyes full of happiness.

How great it would be if this continued!

Xiaobai knew that his thoughts were a luxury, and Wu Shun told her that he had no turning back. Now he wanted to stop.

"Master, time is up!"

Qu A was wearing General Kai, and the cloak behind her was fluttering in the wind.

"Let's go, or they'll have an objection!"

Today, Wu Shun summoned important civil and military officials and had major events to announce!

In the front hall of the General's Mansion, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Dongfang Qiang, Li Yan, Fei Shi and others have been waiting for a long time.

They knew that today was an important day, so they arrived at the General's Mansion early!

"Mr. Zhuge, why haven't the lord come yet?"

Li Yan asked in confusion.

Usually when Wu Shun summons, they sit and wait for them. Today they have been here for so long. Wu Shun has not even appeared.

If Qu A hadn't informed him personally, they would have doubted whether Wu Shun had summoned them.

"General Li, don't be anxious, the lord must be here soon."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said slowly, as if he had expected Wu Shun to be late?

"Hahaha... I've made everyone wait for a long time!"

"Master!"

As soon as Wu Shun entered the room, he burst into laughter! Zhuge Liang and others also quickly got up to greet him.

Wu Shun is very easy-going to them, which is Wu Shun's business, and they cannot be without etiquette. Wu Shun is a favor, so they are a little confused about their easy-goingness.

"Lord, I wonder what is important to call us today?"

As the second-in-commander of Yizhou, Zhuge Liang stood up and asked.

Thinking of the revival of the earth and the elite troops in the army were hoarding Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang knew that Wu Shun was going to send troops.

"Everyone, Hanzhong is my Yizhou gateway, so we cannot make mistakes! According to the Black Guard, Cao Cao took action against Chang'an! If Cao's army occupied Chang'an, it would block the exit of our army! Therefore, we must take the initiative!"

The black-clad guards have been paying close attention to the information in Chang'an. Wu Shun also learned from the information that Cao Cao had bribed the generals of the Xiliang Army in detail and was preparing to launch a mutiny.

Once Chang'an mutiny is invaded, the flag of Cao's army is planted and Yizhou goes to attack, there is a lack of a legitimate reason. Emperor Xian of Han is holding it in Cao Cao's hands. It would be enough to get some imperial edicts at that time.

"Lord, as far as the last general knows, the important roads in the northern passes are under the control of our army. In the turmoil in Chang'an, we can directly send troops to capture them!"

The Wuling Army is no longer like before. In addition to the five elite legions with names, it has also formed an army of 200,000! And now, in addition to the White Tiger Legion, there are still 100,000 that are hoarded in Hanzhong!

Of course, the other identity of the 100,000 army is refugees and farmers who farm! As long as the war is fought, they will be soldiers.

"Of course there is no problem in attacking Chang'an. I was just waiting for the beginning of spring and I couldn't delay farming!"

There was no hybrid rice in the Han Dynasty, and the crop yield was low and the productivity was low. We could only rely on the cultivation area to increase the grain. If the missed agricultural work leads to a reduction in yield, it would be a big blow to Yizhou.

Modern people know that a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold! Fighting war is very costly, especially internal consumption!

"Haha, lord doesn't have to worry too much. Yizhou has gathered nearly 500,000 refugees and will not miss the spring farming! Yuan Zhi is in Hanzhong, so he must be ready."

Yizhou is finally about to show its fangs, and Fa Zheng is a little impatient.

"Hahaha, I guess my second brother is already quarreling!"

"Hahaha……"

The war madman in Yizhou is Zhang Xiong. When they talk about Zhang Xiong, everyone laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

"Three days later, go to the battle!"

"yes!"

...

Zhang Xiong, indeed, could not wait. The weather warmed up, and it was a good time to send troops. After he arrived in Hanzhong, he had already captured all the passes in the north.

Zhang Xiong's name spread throughout the Xiliang Army. Everyone knows that there is an invincible general in the Wuling Army, which is comparable to that of Marquis Wen in the past!

"Yuan Zhi, Military Advisor Xu! When will you fight? Give me a clear letter."

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly from the front, and Zhang Xiong chased after him.

"General Zhang, the time has not come..."

Xu Shu has explained to Zhang Xiong many times. But Zhang Xiong comes almost every day. He hasn't fought for nearly a year, but Zhang Xiong is so suffocated.

Recently, it was reported that when the Cao army returned to Chang'an, there was a detailed activity, Zhang Xiong could not sit still. In his opinion, this place in Chang'an was decided by his elder brother, and Cao Cao actually dared to join in the fun. He had to send troops.

"Second brother, stop making things difficult for the military advisor, maybe it's really not the time!"

Wei Yan followed Zhang Xiong and he could see that Xu Shu also wanted to send troops, but he had some considerations in his heart.

With the current military strength of Hanzhong, it is really easy to attack Chang'an! But now all parties are operating secretly, and whoever moves first will suffer losses!

If you are not careful, you will be attacked by other princes! This is the first bird that can be shot out!

"Old Wei, why are you not busy talking? When is the time coming, and Cao Cao will arrive after taking Chang'an power? Cao Cao is not weak!"

Although Zhang Xiong was warlike and dared to fight, he was not completely reckless. He also knew that Chang'an's ownership could not let Cao Cao lead.

According to his elder brother's temperament, he should have attacked a long time ago! Why was there no movement at this time? Could it be that timid guys like Zhuge Liang were persuaded to stop.

Zhuge Liang acted steadily and took the overall situation into consideration. Under normal circumstances, he would not take risks. This kind of personality made Zhang Xiong look like he was timid and afraid!

If Zhuge Liang knew, I wonder if he would be wronged. After all, in Wu Shun's previous life, Zhuge Liang had played a big heart like the empty city scheme.

Wei Yan was not annoyed when he was blamed by Zhang Xiong. He also wanted to go to the battle earlier. The Qinglong Cavalry was already familiar with the new tactics and was about to pull him to the battlefield to see the blood.

An army that has not seen blood is not a qualified army. An army that has not passed through great wars cannot become an elite!

However, what Zhang Xiong and Wei Yan and others didn't know was that Wu Shun had already led 20,000 Suzaku Legion to Hanzhong.
Chapter completed!
