Chapter 865: After the war

When the war in Xuzhou City completely quelled, it was already night. Wu Shun was waiting for the generals to return in Liu Bei's governor's mansion.

Liu Bei is dead, and Wu Shun eliminates a great enemy. Now Cao Cao is the only one who can make him cautious.

With the current strength of the Wuling Army, we can take advantage of the situation to press towards Qingzhou, but we have occupied a place and need to be digested first.

Xuzhou was already rich, but it was affected by the destruction of war. However, with Liu Bei's previous efforts, Xuzhou was moving forward in the good direction as a whole.

After Yizhou's series of reform measures were moved in, Xuzhou should have a qualitative development.

"Lord, Xuzhou City has been captured, it's time to discuss with Jiangdong."

Xu Shu said.

I had previously walked through an alliance with Jiangdong, and after Xuzhou captured, they each accounted for half. This territory needs to be divided, but now it is the time.

At a later date, various changes will inevitably occur.

"I'll just ask Zhou Yu to come and discuss tomorrow. I'll discuss our army's next plan tonight." Wu Shun said.

After Xuzhou was captured, half of the year passed. Now the Wuling Army's opponents are still Cao Cao and Yuan's family, so a relatively detailed plan is needed.

"What the lord said is that our Wuling Army needs a plan, such as continuing to fight, taking advantage of the situation to enter Qingzhou, or quit the battle and digest Xuzhou."

Guo Jia said.

He agrees with Wu Shun's statement very much.

"The army has been exhausted for nearly half a year and should not continue to fight with Cao Cao." Fa Zheng analyzed.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, the Wuling Army first fought a war with Jiangdong. After reconciling between the two sides, they immediately jumped to the direction and attacked Xuzhou. They had been fighting since the beginning of the year. All the soldiers of the Wuling Army were warlike and dared to fight, but after all, they were all humans and would be exhausted.

"Now Cao Cao is hiding in Qingzhou, hoarding a lot of food and grass, and recruiting a large number of soldiers. We should not give Cao Cao the chance to start over."

Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia believes that there is no need to think too much about the opportunity to destroy the enemy. Even if attacking Qingzhou will lengthen the front line, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated and Yizhou can be benefited, some losses will be acceptable.

The military advisors have different opinions, and what they said makes sense. The key depends on how Wu Shun decides.

Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, and Guo Jia all looked at Wu Shun and waited for Wu Shun's final decision.

"If you don't enter Qingzhou for the time being, you will first manage Xuzhou well. When Xuzhou becomes the rear, you will consider a decisive battle with Cao Cao."

Wu Shun said.

Having reached this point, Wu Shun was no longer in a hurry. The one who should be anxious was Cao Cao, and perhaps there was Sun Quan.

With so many capable people in Yizhou, Xuzhou's governance is naturally no problem.

Wu Shun did not plan to attack, and there were several considerations.

First, the Wuling Army's soldiers were indeed exhausted and exhausted after years of conquest.

Second, if the land in Xuzhou is fertile, if it is not managed or used, it is a waste of resources.

Third, Jiangdong was staring at him, and Wu Shun was uneasy to beat Cao Cao. Sun Quan was not Sun Ce, and Jiangdong had a great ambitions. What should be vigilant should be taken seriously.

"The lord is wise!" the three of them bowed.

It is a good thing not to rush to achieve success.

They were also afraid that Wu Shun would be ambitious and directly ordered to invade Qingzhou. In fact, Guo Jia proposed to continue the war, which was to leave a talented person and manage Xuzhou well.

"No need to flatter, Is there a suitable candidate for the position of Xuzhou Mu?" Wu Shun asked.

Governance requires talents, and Wu Shun was asking who is suitable for the Xuzhou governor in Yizhou.

"My lord asked, there is really someone under me who can recommend it," said Xu Shu.

"Who?" Wu Shun asked.

"Mi Zhu!" Xu Shu said.

"Mi Zhu? That's OK, but now others are in Hebei. Letting him be the governor of Xuzhou will be harmful to his actions." Wu Shundao.

Mi Zhu is a big businessman in Xuzhou. If he could become a governor of Shangzhou in Wu Shun's hands, he would have great guidance to the merchants in the world.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen and businessmen have the lowest social status. Although they are rich, their status is very embarrassing.

If you can become an official, it will be different. You will be raised directly, which is a very good thing.

"Lord, how about Pang Tong, the prefect of Changsha?" Fa Zheng asked.

Pang Tong's ability was a strong man in Yizhou. He had just gone to Changsha County and eliminated the ills within a month. Today, Changsha County has a new look.

Such a talent is really a talent to be a prefect!

When talking about Pang Tong, Wu Shun's eyes lit up. Pang Tong is OK, that's Feng Chu. As long as he gives him enough authority, he will not worry about the poor governance of Xuzhou.

However, Xuzhou is a newly established territory and requires certain force to suppress it, so Wu Shun thinks it is better to use military generals as the candidate for the provincial governor.

After all, Xuzhou became part of Yizhou and instantly became the forefront of war, and it was necessary to station troops.

"Shi Yuan is extremely talented and is a suitable candidate, but Xuzhou is a strategic location and requires a large army to garrison. My idea is to grant a general the governor of the state, and his army will be stationed here. At the same time, Shi Yuan is transferred to govern the government."

Wu Shun said.

"It's feasible!" Xu Shu said.

"Lord, which general is suitable?" Guo Jia asked.

"Lord, if you want to choose one of the generals, your subordinates recommend General Dongfang." Fa Zheng said.

Dongfang Qiang, the head of the Wuling Army's Suzaku Legion, has been following Wu Shun's battle, but has not been defeated yet. He has the reputation of being an undefeated general in the army.

"Haha, I think Dongfang is OK, too." Wu Shun smiled.

Among the generals, many people can be state governors, but what Wu Shun feels most relieved is Dongfang Qiang.

This general who climbed up step by step from the soldiers was loyal to him, and he was extremely diligent and studious. He was improving almost every day except for force.

Wu Shun was relieved to let him be the governor of Xuzhou.

...

The generals did not let Wu Shun and others wait for a long time, and they all came back one after another after dark. Seeing the generals smiling happily, Wu Shun was in a good mood.

"Everyone, are you satisfied with the harvest?"

After all the generals under his command arrived, Wu Shun asked.

"Haha, we are naturally very satisfied with conquering Xuzhou." Wei Yan answered first.

"Wen Chang, Cao's army has 30,000, how many are left to escape?" Wu Shun asked.

He arranged for the Qinglong Pursuit Army to kill Cao's army, and the 50,000 troops were dispatched, so he should have gained a lot.

Sure enough, Wu Shun was happy when he asked about this: "Lord, the last general led his troops to kill more than 10,000 Cao's army, and finally Cao Hong led the remaining troops to escape."

"Very good. When I come to Xuzhou once, there will be less than 20,000 people. Cao Cao's expression must be very wonderful. This time, the Qinglong Legion did a good job and should remember a great achievement." Wu Shun praised.

Wu Shun never stings with praise for his soldiers.

"Thank you lord!" Wei Yan said happily.

"Second brother, have the remaining enemies in the city been wiped out?" Wu Shun asked Zhang Xiong.

After the war, the White Tiger Legion was responsible for cleaning up the defeated Xuzhou army that was fighting stubbornly in Xuzhou City.

"Brother, I have all cleared up, but I haven't let go of an alley." Zhang Xiong said proudly.

"Okay, as the main force of the siege in this battle, the White Tiger Legion has made great contributions and can consider expanding it!" Wu Shundao.
