Chapter 276: Discuss Wu Alliance
Cao Cao, who received responses from all sides, was full of enthusiasm. With his initiation, he finally formed the second alliance of princes!
In addition to Yuan Shao still watching, Liu Biao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other princes near Yizhou agreed to join forces with Cao Cao.
Yizhou's development momentum is too strong, which has caused concern from all parties. Now that there are people who are leading the way, they are naturally willing to unite.
Today, only Yuan Shao can ignore the threat from Yizhou, so when he was constantly arguing under his command, he chose to wait and see!
In Chang'an, Wu Shun was checking the information of the Black Guard in the city. When he saw Sun Ce also joined the coalition forces, his heart was like a hammer hitting him!
"It seems that I am still too naive. The princes are in vain and are not merciless and are only concerned about their own interests!"
When he fought side by side with Sun Jian, Wu Shun really admired Sun Jian's bravery and straightforwardness. Therefore, he gave selfless help when Sun Jian was killed. He was even willing to ask Sun Ce to recruit soldiers in Wuling County!
Sun Ce's choice did disappoint Wu Shun, but it also made him see people's hearts clearly!
"The allied troops of the princes will gather in Luoyang next month. I should make plans too!"
From the moment of sending troops, Wu Shun knew that he might be targeted by various princes! After all, Cao Cao had the emperor in control.
"Qua, come find the two military advisors!"
"yes!"
There are 150,000 soldiers in Chang'an. As long as the arrangement is properly, Wu Shun is not afraid of the coalition forces of the princes! With Hangu Pass in hand, he only needs to defend the eastern front. When Han Sui and Ma Teng defeated Xiliang, they can return to the army to fight against Cao Cao!
"Master!"
Xu Shu and Fa Zheng came together. The situation is a bit subtle now, and the 150,000 people in Yizhou need to be well arranged!
"Two military advisors, our army is now in danger of being attacked on both sides! How to arrange each legion? Do you have a clever plan?"
With the charge, there were fierce generals on the front line and planning, Wu Shun was still willing to obey the wise men.
"Lord, since this is the case, our army can only defend on the front line and attack on the front line! There is a natural danger of Hangu Pass on the eastern front, and only tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers can be defended! Our army will defeat Han Sui and Ma Teng in the west in one go!"
"Yuan Zhi said it well, lord, choose one of two, we can only defend and attack one!"
Fa Zheng and Xu Shu have discussed privately, defend the east and attack the west! This is the tactic of the most beneficial state!
"I'm afraid Cao Cao is too fierce." Wu Shun was a little worried about the Eastern Front. After all, there were three coalition forces of the princes over there! There were even peerless generals like Lu Bu!
"Yuanzhi, you will bring 20,000 troops to Hangu Pass and be responsible for defending you! You should be together with Dongfang, there should be no problem!"
Only by letting Xu Shu and Dongfang Qiang take charge of the defense can Wu Shun feel more at ease.
"Lord, Hangu Pass is in danger, and there are 40,000 troops, so you can definitely defend it!"
If there were only 20,000 ordinary soldiers, Xu Shu would not have much confidence. But it would be different with the Zhuque Legion, that would be an elite! And Dongfang Qiang is an unbeaten general in the Wuling Army!
"There are many cavalry in Xiliang, so we have to transfer Wei Yan's Qinglong Cavalry back! At that time, the White Tiger Legion is the main defense, and the Qinglong Cavalry is the main attack!"
Most of the Western Liang were light cavalry. If there were no cavalry here, the White Tiger Legion would be very passive! So Wu Shun was preparing to transfer Wei Yan to the Western Front.
"The lord is wise!"
Xu Shu and Fa Zheng praised together.
"Okay, let's deal with it like this first, send an order back to Chengdu, so that Kong Ming can act according to the opportunity!"
There are still many troops left within Yizhou. Wu Shun was besieged in Chang'an, and it is difficult for the opposition forces in Yizhou to take the opportunity to make trouble!
With Zhuge Liang, a talent like Zhuge Liang who is good at taking the overall situation into consideration, Wu Shun can have no worries!
At Hangu Pass, Wei Yan said goodbye to Dongfangqiang. After receiving the order, he immediately led his troops to the western front and met with Zhang Xiong!
"General Dongfang, Military Advisor Xu is coming soon, brother, I will go there first! Hangu Pass will be handed over to the general!"
Hangu Pass was captured by the Qinglong Cavalry by surprise. Wei Yan would rather fight with the coalition forces of the princes here.
But he also knew that he needed him even more on the Western Front! Zhang Xiong's White Tiger Legion was all infantry, so there was no problem in defense, but when encountering cavalry, there was no way to pursue him! Without the initiative, it would be a loss to fight!
"Let's go, Hangu Pass, I will definitely guard it for you. The coalition of princes should not go there from here!"
Once there was a dangerous pass, Dongfang Qiang was naturally full of confidence. He felt that 20,000 Zhuque Legion was enough, but Wu Shun still sent Xu Shu and 20,000 soldiers to reinforce.
It can be seen that Hangu Pass is in Wu Shun's heart! The ownership of Hangu Pass can determine the final direction of this war!
If Cao Cao's alliance forces broke through Hangu Pass, Wu Shun could only withdraw his troops from the western front and then retreated to Hanzhong!
The army in Yizhou was mobilized very quickly, and it had been mobilized before Cao Cao gathered together! The Eastern Front was chaired by Xu Shu, and 40,000 troops were quietly waiting for the attack from the east!
Wu Shun personally led his troops on the western front, preparing to defeat Han Sui-Mateng in one battle and attack Liangzhou! In fact, the purpose of Wu Shun's troops leaving Chang'an was to capture Liangzhou!
A month passed in a blink of an eye, Cao Cao gathered three princes in Luoyang, a total of 200,000 troops, and marched towards Chang'an in a mighty way! He had the momentum of breaking through Chang'an in one battle!
Han Sui and Ma Teng joined forces on the western front and led 100,000 troops to Chang'an!
"Report~"
"Lord, the vanguard of the Xiliang Army has reached ten miles ahead!"
On the third day after Wu Shun and Zhang Xiong and others met, Han Sui and Ma Tengzhen was preparing to make an attempt to attack with the Yizhou army!
"The White Tiger Legion is in line! The Green Dragon Cavalry is ready for both wings!"
The Yizhou army lined up in an orderly battle formation and quietly waited for the upcoming battle!
The soldiers of the White Tiger Camp all had sharp eyes. This time they were facing the fierce Xiliang cavalry! It is said that Ma Teng's son Ma Chao is good at leading the cavalry to the battlefield! But the White Tiger Camp is fearless!
They were surrounded by Qinglong Cavalry, and behind them were heavy cavalry of the personal guard camp! This contact would definitely give the Xiliang Army a painful lesson. I just don’t know if Wu Shun would let the personal guard camp rush forward!
Before the Xiliang Army set off, Ma Teng found Ma Chao and told him some things to pay attention to during the war! He was very satisfied with his son, who was named General Shenwei Tian.
However, the Wuling Army is famous and it took a short time to attack Yizhou. Chang'an fell into their hands silently. Their strength should never be underestimated!
Ma Teng was afraid that his son would be careless and would not take the Yizhou army seriously! The Xiliang army would suffer at that time?
"Meng Qi, be careful about Zhang Xiong when rushing to the formation! This person is said to be able to compete with Lu Bu! You must not be careless!"
This is what Ma Teng said to his son!
And who is Ma Chao? He has made the name of General Shenweitian at a young age! The more Ma Teng takes a fancy to Zhang Xiong, the more he wants to fight with Zhang Xiong! The young Ma Chao is eager to have a decent opponent!
"Don't worry, my father, I know the importance of it!"
Ma Chao led 5,000 cavalry as the main attacker. Of course, this time he was just a test of each other and would not send all his strength!
The Xiliang Army sent out five thousand cavalry, but Wu Shun dispatched two thousand White Tiger Camp and five thousand Green Dragon Cavalry!
If you have a calculating or not, as long as the Xiliang army is not strong, it will be difficult for them to escape!
The White Tiger Camp faces defense. Once it comes into contact, the Qinglong Cavalry will attack from both wings under the leadership of Wei Yan! Surround the invading enemy!
There were sounds of horse hooves in the distance, and smoke and dust rolled! The tentative battle began immediately! Wu Shun kept staring at the young silver-armored player in the distance, and he knew it was Ma Chao!
A tiger general who was arrogant in his previous life! He was good at leading cavalry warfare! Wu Shun arranged elite troops to fight, and the person he wanted the most was this person!
