Chapter 63: Bandit
Half a month has passed since Liu Biao sent troops to Wuling! Apart from Linyuan City, which is without any danger, Liu Biao's army has made no progress.
Wu Shun was in Chenyang County at this time, and he was thinking about countermeasures. In the mountains, he had the Canglang Army and Wuxi Barbarians who sent troops to help. Both were good at fighting in the mountains. The terrain was beneficial to himself. In addition, there was no big river near Chenyang, so there was no need to worry about Cai Mao's sailors. In this way, what he had to face was the 200,000 infantry led by Wenpin Huang Zhong. Liu Biao had a small number of cavalry, but the terrain was not conducive to the development of the cavalry, so Wenpin and others did not carry it. This was also good news for Wu Shun.
However, quantitative change caused qualitative change. Liu Biao used 200,000 troops this time, obviously to kill them all. Wu Shun could see clearly that now the only one who was not in the way of Jingzhou and Liu Biao was left.
What to do? In the past half month, Wu Shun has led his troops to convene the generals to discuss, but he has never had any good strategies. He has been in a small-scale friction with Liu Biao's army. The Canglang Army occasionally attacked and attacked him. Although the gains were small, the victory was to boost morale. Wu Shun let Shi Zhongyu and Shamoke go to make trouble. Anyway, they can't suffer any losses, and Wu Shun was also happy to be able to disgusted with the Jingzhou army.
Early in the morning, Wu Shun seemed to think of something, but he didn't catch it, so that the inspiration ran away. He sat on the bed and thought about it carefully, but the more he thought about it, the more he became blurred! Forget it, call everyone and discuss it together. Maybe he could get the light of inspiration back! He said to his personal soldiers: "Go and summon all the generals, I have something to discuss!"
"Yes, lord!"
Li Erniu was on duty today. When he heard the lord's order, he responded and immediately went to inform the generals.
The personal soldier Li Erniu was a veteran of Wu Shun from Heifeng Village. Back then, the village leader led them to dominate Yunling, and the many strengths of Yunling had to depend on the appearance of Heifeng Village. Then the village leader took them to take Yunling Town, and then took Chenyang with a tough attitude, and Linyuan. The village leader also transformed from a bandit leader to a senior official, with a powerful prefect. The title also changed from a village leader to a lord. And he, Li Erniu, was fortunate to be selected as the lord's personal guard, and he could always guard the person he admired the most!
When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the lord led them to attack Dong Zhuo and would win every battle! They saved many people in Luoyang and grabbed more than a dozen cars of gold, silver and jewelry. How energetic!
But now, the lord sighs in the mansion every day, no longer has the same fighting spirit as before! In Li Erniu's heart, he hopes that his lord will lead them to charge again! Even if he dies in battle, he doesn't want to look at his lord's frown!
Wu Shun naturally wouldn't have thought so much about his personal soldiers. In Wu Shun's opinion, when he was a bandit, he was willful and reckless because he had no bonds. Bandits, they just attacked whoever was unhappy! At that time, no one in the Yunling area was Zhang Xiong's opponent, so naturally Heifengzhai did whatever he wanted.
It’s different now. I have too many people around me and I dare not do things too casually. If my subordinates follow you, you have to be responsible for them. You can’t let your own people go to war and hurt them because of your carelessness! Since I developed the habit of thinking, just like what Li Erniu saw, Wu Shun has lost the banditry that people dare not provoke before!
"Brother!"
"Master!"
Not long after, Zhang Xiong and all the generals arrived. Wu Shun also withdrew his thoughts and prepared to talk to the generals, so he took the lead:
"Brothers, we took the initiative to give up Lin Yuan and retreat to Chenyang's realm. Although we won't lose quickly, it is difficult to win! I wonder if all the brothers have any good plans?"
When he called everyone a brother, Wu Shun called him, and when he was in Yunling, his minions also called him brother. He felt that it was kind to call him this.
When the generals heard Wu Shun call them brothers, their hearts seemed to be burning. They could make their lord a brother. This honor made them all red and radiant.
"Lord, please lead the army, take a small path and go around the back of the Jingzhou army, and act according to the opportunity! Cut off the Jingzhou army's food supply route. In this way, the Jingzhou army will not be able to fight our army for a long time!"
He was called a brother by Wu Shun, and Wei Yan was full of fighting spirit and asked for his wish.
"The enemy's food route is cut off, but there are many soldiers in Jingzhou, and this is a dangerous thing! Wen Chang, you should be more careful!"
It is indeed a good strategy to disturb the enemy's food route. Once the supply chain of the Jingzhou army has problems, 200,000 mouths will be eaten. In addition, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army. At that time, Wu Shun had the opportunity to defeat the more with less and defeat Liu Biao's army!
"If there are too many people in the grain transport team, they will harass them, then retreat into the forest, eat them if there are too few people, and then burn the food and grass!"
Wei Yan felt very helpful to Wu Shun's concern, which made him feel valued. He was also very frustrated when he was blocked here. If Wu Shun could let him lead the army alone, he would definitely do his best to block the food route of the Jingzhou army!
"Lord, I and Tian Qian'er convinced the five leaders of Wuxi. They are willing to transfer their tribe members to join the Canglang Army and help the lord retreat to the enemy!"
Shi Zhongyu returned to Chenyang's territory, which was to fight at home. Canglang had few soldiers, so he went to sneak attack the Jingzhou army, and each time he did not achieve much results. He also knew that Wu Shun's troops were already in short supply at this time, so he simply picked up Tian Qian'er and persuaded their fathers to expand the army for Canglang army to help Wu Shun overcome the current dilemma.
Both chiefs had benefited from Wu Shun. If Liu Biao occupied this place, they would not have had any good life. Liu Biao was from the aristocratic family now, unlike Wu Shun. In comparison, they still prefer Wu Shun's rule. Because under Wu Shun's rule, they were Han people and could not be discriminated against! So as soon as Shi Zhongyu and Tian Qian'er said that, they agreed, and at the same time asked the other three chiefs to send troops to help.
In this way, the Canglang Army suddenly expanded to 20,000 people. You should know that after Wu Shun's current army was reorganized, the White Tiger Camp was still in a system of 800 people, and there were nearly 40,000 ordinary legions. In this way, Wu Shun had a total of more than 60,000 soldiers after joining the Canglang Army after the expansion. The gap with Liu Biao's 200,000 army was still very large.
"Big bad guy, this time I want to join the Canglang Army, Shi Zhongyu can't control so many people alone!"
Tian Qian'er was very happy this time. She had a lot of contribution to the Canglang Army's expansion. I think Wu Shun would not reject her this time.
"But there has never been a woman leading a soldier in our army?"
"Start from me, isn't that happening?"
Tian Qian'er was so happy when she heard that Wu Shun did not reject her immediately. She finally could watch him every day.
"It's okay to ask you to lead troops, but do you have that ability? You must know that leading troops to the battlefield is not a joke! People will die at any time."
Tian Qian'er made great contributions to expanding the army, and she was also good at martial arts. She once led her soldiers to the city wall to kill the enemy. Later generations of equality of men and women have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Wu Shun would not really refuse. She refused in the past just because she wanted Tian Qian'er to protect Xiaobai.
"You forgot that I was dressed as a man to help you attack the city wall! I have seen so many dead people! I can lead the troops, and Sister Fang will also read the military books for me!"
Seeing that this opportunity was quite great, Tian Qian'er talked about his glorious deeds.
"Okay, you will join the Canglang Army and join Shamoke as Deputy General Zhongyu!"
"Thank you, big bad guy!"
"Call the lord!"
"Don't call!"
“…”
In this way, Wu Shun's army set the first precedent for a woman to be a general. Tian Qian'er became the first female general in the Wuling army.
Zhang Xiong, Dongfang Qiang, Guan Hai and others were familiar with Tian Qianer, and they didn't feel that she was a female general. Only Wei Yan could find it difficult to digest this result for a while. However, Wei Yan also saw that Wu Shun was not prone to employ people. As long as he had the ability, men and women were the same in Wu Shun's eyes. Thinking of this, Wei Yan's fighting spirit became even higher.
"Brothers, General Wei Yan is the main general and General Guan Hai is the deputy general. He led 10,000 soldiers to bypass the Jingzhou army and harass the food road. Wen Zhang can act according to his opportunity!"
"Yes! The last one will obey the order!"
"General Shi Zhongyu, you will lead the Canglang Army and continue to entangle with the Jingzhou Army. Don't have a chance to breathe!"
"The last one will obey the order!"
The few people who were ordered returned to the camp and prepared to go.
It was really shameful that Liu Biao forced Wu Shun to give up the city. This unwillingness aroused Wu Shun's brute force over the years to restrain his robbery! Wu Shun is very unhappy now. He wanted to teach Liu Biao a profound lesson. Let him know that some people are not bullied casually.
"Second brother, Dongfang, let's go check the terrain. This time I will give Liu Biao a big gift!"
After the meeting, Wu Shun decided to check the terrain and walked out first!
Chapter completed!
