When Wu Shun arrived at Hulao Pass, he received news from the Black Guard from Hebei.

"Yuan Shao actually sent troops!"

This news is not good. Although Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, it does not mean that Hebei's troops are weak.

"Lord, the soldiers from Hebei can block it with all their might!"

Zhang Xiu originally thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that the Wuling Army would set off again so soon!

Last year, Yuan Tan attacked the Huzhu, and Zhang Xiu always remembered it!

"Now that Yuan's army also wants to make a thrust into the trap, Hulao Pass must keep a strong army! Otherwise, the rear of Zhongmu Changshe will be unstable."

Xu Shu analyzed.

This time, the left military advisor Xu Shu followed the army, while the former military advisor Zhuge Liang coordinated everything in Chengdu. With Zhuge Liang in the rear, Wu Shun dared to fight in the front with confidence.

"Yuan Zhi said it well. Here we need an elite force. Let's do this, the White Tiger Legion temporarily enters Sishui Pass!"

Wu Shun said.

"Brother, I want to fight with you!"

Zhang Xiong was a little reluctant.

Although half of his White Tiger Legion are new recruits, these new recruits are also the best among the county soldiers. As long as they are actual combat, it will be no problem to get started.

"Hulao Pass, Sishui is of great importance, and the second general must be the second general."

Xu Shu said.

"Military advisor, you are so serious. Just the soldiers of Yuan Shao from Hebei, it is enough to have General Zhang Xiu."

Zhang Xiong said.

He believed that Yuan's army was average and that with Zhang Xiu there, there would be no problem.

"The second general, if Yuan's army is of average strength, after defeating him, he can enter Hebei..."

Xu Shu winked at Zhang Xiong, and Zhang Xiong understood in seconds.

That means that if Yuan’s army attacks, Zhang Xiong can chase him to Hebei.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, if the Wuling Army can occupy one or two strongholds, it will be very important for future strategies.

This is also the reason why Xu Shu said that Zhang Xiong was in charge here.

If it's just defense, it's enough to have Zhang Xiu. If it's just in case, adding Zhao Yun is completely enough.

This time, the Qilin Legion stayed in Yizhou, and only Zhao Yun and Qilin cavalrymen followed the army to fight.

"Brother, don't worry, my White Tiger Legion is here. As long as Yuan Shao dares to come, he will definitely not let him go back."

After receiving the prompt, Zhang Xiong no longer had any resentment towards staying in Sishui Pass. On the contrary, he still hoped that Yuan Jun would come.

"Okay, since that's the case, the White Tiger Legion immediately entered Sishui Pass. I'll leave the safety of our army behind you."

Wu Shun looked at Zhang Xiong, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Zhou Cang and others.

"I will never let my brother/lord down!"

The four of them promised together.

After leaving Zhang Xiong's White Tiger Legion, Wu Shun immediately rushed to Changshe without stopping.

The Wuling Army came out of Yizhou, and the news would definitely not be hidden. I believe that Cao's army was ready at this time.

Wu Shun had a purpose in sending troops this time. That is to further compress the control range of Cao's army and once again weaken their power.

As for the emperor in Xudu, Wu Shun doesn’t want it!

Although Emperor Xian was a puppet, he never gave up on his resistance. Wu Shun was not Cao Cao, and he could tolerate so many small moves.

The trick of using the emperor to command the princes is suitable for Cao Cao, but not Wu Shun.

With the tradition of the Wuling Army, no matter what their reputation is, they like to rely on their own strength to fight and grab!

In the past, we fought for a better life, but now this vision is a bit taller, to unify the world!

Now the Wuling Army is absolutely stronger than the world, and it is almost impossible to meet an opponent. Didn’t you see the Wuling Army move, Cao Cao would attract allies everywhere?

Nowadays, Yizhou is no longer a prince who can deal with it alone.

As Yizhou becomes stronger and stronger, the ideals of the Wuling Army soldiers naturally change.

...

Outside Changshe City, in the camp last year, in addition to Liu Bei's garrison, Cao's army also sent a vanguard army to come.

It won’t take long to return to the “supreme” state on the eve of the General War last year.

Yizhou's accumulation is abundant enough. Although Wu Shun kept fighting, he still did not emptiate Yizhou's massive reserves.

But on Cao Cao's side, military rations have become a problem.

It's only April, and the dealer has planted it, and it's far from the time to defend the city. Cao Cao originally thought that Wu Shun had to waste it with him first, and after returning, he sent troops to the Southern Barbarians, so the food and grass should be in a hurry.

But I don’t want Yizhou to have such a rich foundation!

Wu Shun wanted to fight, but Cao Cao couldn't help him or not. He even brought Yuan Shao to accompany him. Wuling's army was approaching, and Cao Cao would send troops no matter how difficult it was.

As for the headache of military rations, Cao Cao threw it directly to Chen Yu, a capable adviser.

Chen Yu did not disappoint Cao Cao, and the food and grass were transported to the front line in batches, ensuring that Cao's army could have food.

The Wuling Army took the initiative to seek battle, and marched in three directions, middle, and lower!

On the way, Wu Shun personally led his troops and competed with Cao Cao in the Xudu area of ​​Changshe!

In the middle road, Dongfang strongly led the Zhuque Legion, and Huang Quan led the county troops to prepare to invade Jingzhou.

The bottom lane, Gan Ning, Shi Zhongyu led the Jiaolong fleet, and the Canglang Legion fought on both water and land to oppress Liu Biao.

In fact, there is also a fourth army, that is, the Jiangdong Army led by Sun Ce, which put pressure on Jingzhou in Jiangxia and divided part of the pressure from Dongfangqiang and Ganning.

But Sun Ce did not belong to Wu Shun's command along the way.

Throughout April, the two sides were in a state of confrontation and testing, with large battles not happening, and small-scale collisions never stopped.

The confrontation between scouts was even more tragic. Today, the Wuling Army destroyed the Cao army's scout team, and tomorrow the Cao army's scouts were ambushed...

In short, in places where people don’t know, tragic fights are taking place in secret.

In May, the breath of war hits you!

The soldiers could feel the anxiety contained in the air.

The war finally begins at the beginning of this month!

Yan Liang, the general of Yuan army, led the elite Yuan army to attack Hulao Pass at night, but failed!

Wuling Army General Zhang Xiong and Huang Zhong led their troops to fight and retreated Yuan's army.

The White Tiger Legion continued to chase to the bank of the Yellow River before stopping!

They don’t have a ferry, so they can’t catch up!

"Yan Liang, you wait! I will fight to the north sooner or later!"

Zhang Xiong roared at the ferry that was moving away!

On the ferry, the famous Hebei general Yan Liang looked gloomy and didn't know what he was thinking. The failure of the raid was because the Wuling Army had too strong defense.

The army under Zhang Xiu was tenacious and brave, resisted tenaciously, and Zhang Xiong was also rescued from Sishui Pass.

Yan Liang was defeated without any wickedness!

After this battle, the entire war kicked off! In mid-May, Wu Shun and Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought outside Changshe City. The two sides fought for two days and nights, no victory or defeat!

The strong Dongfang left Yidu County and marched into Jingzhou, and encountered the Jingzhou army and Cao Ren, the general of Cao army. The two sides attacked and defended each other and temporarily fell into a confrontation.

On Dongting Lake, the Jiaolong Fleet defeated the Jingzhou naval army so hard that it did not dare to fight, so it could only guard the water camp!

The Canglang Legion crossed mountains and ridges and had secretly gone to Jingzhou!

Since parting with Gan Ning, no one knows where Shi Zhongyu brought the 20,000 troops.
Chapter completed!
