Chapter 55: Sun Ce Asks for Help
"Lord, now the Central Plains is in chaos and the princes are fighting endlessly. This is a great time for us to accumulate strength. Why not accumulate strength at this time?"
Seeing that Wu Shun made a proposal, Yang Youcai asked thoughtfully. Now the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are competing, and wars are constantly occurring in the Central Plains, and many refugees are flocking to the relatively peaceful Jingzhou. Wuling County is the best choice to accumulate strength at this time!
"Mr. Yang is right. It is important to accumulate strength, but we are in a remote area, with a small population and few resources. When we accumulate strength, others should also attack. So, we must take the initiative!"
Offense is the best defense, at least that's what Wu Shun thinks now.
"Lord, where will we fight? To the north is Yidu County, to the south is Lingling County, to the east is Changsha County! To the west is Jingke County in Yizhou." Dongfang Qiang said.
"Changsha County cannot be fought, everything else can be done. I mean to find a way to occupy Jingke County as our bridgehead for entering Yizhou!"
“What is a bridgehead?”
"Lord, is this bridgehead the meaning of a stronghold?"
Everyone had enough resistance to Wu Shun's meaning when he occasionally popped up a new word. He quickly guessed Wu Shun's meaning.
"That's about that. Do you have any good plans?"
Wu Shun said with his eyes flashing and looking at everyone.
"What reason do you want? My brother gives me 3,000 troops and guarantees that what kind of Jingke County will be taken away in a month!"
If it can be solved by force, Zhang Xiong will never use his brain. He is used to solving problems with his fists. [Zero↑9△Fresh↓△Net]
"The army was named Wuming, so what's the difference between our Wuling Army and the bandits?"
Wu Shun obviously forgot the fact that he was once the bandit leader. Now he is still teaching Zhang Xiong a lesson with shameless words.
"We didn't think so much about being bandits before..."
Zhang Xiong muttered in a low voice. Although he tried to lower his voice, everyone in the room could hear it.
"Second brother, now we are regular soldiers, not bandits..." Wu Shun said with his forehead.
In the past, Heifeng Village was a group of bandits. They did whatever they liked, and did whatever they wanted. They really didn’t think about anything. Now they have different identities, so they have to pay attention to their name. As the prefect of a county, if the army is unknown, Wu Shun will be drowned. This is not good news for Wuling County.
"Lord, I thought we could enter Jingke County with the name of Wuxi Barbarians. Uh, please don't bother General Shi and General Sha!"
As soon as he talked about Wuxi Man, Shi Zhongyu and Shamoke's eyes instantly locked on Dongfangqiang. Feeling the two momentums, Dongfangqiang could only stop.
"Unbeat, finish your words."
Wu Shun looked at Shi Zhongyu and the other two, waved his hand to the second hand, and signaled to be calm.
"Yes, the last one thought we could use the opportunity to attack the Southern Barbarians from Yizhou on the grounds that the Wuxi Barbarians and the Southern Barbarians conspired to rebel." Dongfang Qiang said.
"It's not bad, Dongfang! Keep talking!"
"We can send people to join forces with the Southern Barbarians in advance to make them create momentum and cooperate with us! After the matter is completed, just give them some convenience. Maybe we can also conquer the Southern Barbarians!"
After Dongfang Qiang finished speaking, Wu Shun felt that he had the potential to be a strategist. He could actually come up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone! It was indeed good. In the future, the Wuling Army will inevitably have a brave and wise general!
"I wonder if you have any other plans?"
Wu Shun asked to everyone.
"We agree with General Dongfang's plan!"
Everyone replied together. Dongfang Qiang said just now, it is indeed good. The Southern Barbarians united to rebel, and the Wuling Army sent troops to vent their anger. This is normal. It seems reasonable to go to the Southern Barbarians and discuss with Yizhou to borrow a story. As for whether it is worth it to attack the Southern Barbarians, who can think of the bandit Wu Shun's idea?
After all, I am a bandit. If you are disgusted, you will definitely be beaten back. This is a habit of the world!
"Okay, since everyone agrees with Dongfang's opinion, then start preparing. Zhongyu, go back and ask your father to send someone to contact the Southern Barbarians! Others will prepare for war!"
"yes!"
After confirming the plan, everyone went down to prepare. Those who should train troops and those who should prepare supplies will prepare.
"Lord, what am I going to do?"
Seeing that everyone had tasks, but they didn't mention themselves, Pu Yuan couldn't help asking.
"Of course you are responsible for building weapons. When the army goes to war, the more refined the weapons, the better! If you don't have enough staff, please post a notice to recruit! Go back and prepare to do it," Wu Shun replied.
"Yes, lord!"
After Pu Yuan received the order, he hurried back. He had to create more excellent weapons for the soldiers before going to war.
After everyone left, Wu Shun was about to find Xiaobai and let him hammer his legs and rub his shoulders.
"Lord, Sun Ce, the descendant of Changsha Prefect Sun Jian, asked for a meeting!" A personal soldier came in to report.
"Sun Ce? Let him come in!"
Could it be that Sun Jian died? He shouldn't have died without getting the imperial seal. Could it be that Sun Jian couldn't even hide from me if I helped me like this? Wu Shun muttered to himself.
"Uncle Shi!"
After Sun Ce entered the house, he was very respectful to Wu Shun! When he fought against Dong, he was as strong as Sun Jian and returned home without fail. Wu Shun won a great victory! This made Sun Ce admire him!
"Bo Fu is so kind. Are there any important things to do when you come to Wuling County?"
"Please send troops to support my father!"
"Brother Wentai can't beat Huang Zu's son?"
According to the report from the Black Guard, Liu Bingdan entered Jingzhou and joined forces with the Cai, Huang and Kuai families in Jingzhou to completely control the counties in the northern part of Jingzhou, waiting for an opportunity to peek at Jingnan. Wuling County was also on the list of Liu Biao conquered, so Wu Shun wanted to take the initiative. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian fought with Liu Biao first.
"My father led his troops to attack Jiangxia and advanced rapidly. He didn't want to be ambushed by Huang Zu. He was hit by the ravage arrow. Now he can only guard Changsha with injuries!"
"So Brother Wentai asked you to break through and come to me?"
"That's right! Please send troops to save my father because of the fact that we had sent troops north together before!"
Sun Ce knew that if Wu Shun refused, Sun Jian would definitely not last long. So at this time he knelt on one knee, hoping that Wu Shun could send troops!
"Bo Fu please come up. I will feel the same way with your father at first sight. How can I not save you? I will prepare for war after a while! Bo Fu can follow my second brother to lead his troops first tomorrow!"
Saving Sun Jian is equivalent to saving himself, and Wu Shun will definitely go! However, such a major event, it still needs time to arrange, and Sun Ce will only wait for a day. Sun Ce is grateful to Wu Shun's righteousness from the bottom of his heart.
The next day, Zhang Xiong and Sun Ce took the Eight Hundred White Tiger Camp and two thousand Canglang Army to Changsha!
The army was moving very fast. First, Sun Ce was anxious to go back to save Sun Jian, second, Zhang Xiong hadn't fought for a long time and was excited! The White Tiger Camp and Canglang Army were both aces in the Wuling Army. They were well-trained, and this distance was nothing to them. Moreover, only if they fought, they could make meritorious service and their families could live a better life. If they were unfortunately killed in battle, Wu Shun's pension was enough for their family to live without worries. What's more, in Wuling County, as long as one of the family joined the army, it belonged to the military family and could be exempted from most taxes. Many welfare policies were given priority!
Because Wu Shun gave him good benefits, all the soldiers of the Wuling Army were willing to go to war for Wu Shun. The morale was so high that they were happy to hear the war.
Sun Jian stood on the head of Changsha City, and the day of defense battle came to an end. The soldiers slept with their backs against the battlements. They were too tired. Huang Zu's army attacked day and night, and the soldiers had no time to rest. Sun Jian himself had not closed his eyes for two days. Cheng Pu, who was beside him, looked at Sun Jian with a worried look, but he stopped talking. He knew that Sun Jian would not go to rest, so it would be useless to persuade him!
"Decao, do you think Wu Shun will come?"
"It should be..."
