Chapter 885: Plan the Northern Expedition

At the end of July of the 14th year of Jian'an, Wu Shun summoned civil officials and military officials to discuss the Northern Expedition.

As today's trend is extremely clear, the Wuling Army is the best in combat, and the power of Shu Kingdom is as strong as Cao Cao and Sun Quan join forces, so they dare not easily have friction.

Under such a situation, Wu Shun naturally wanted to further expand his territory, accelerate the pace of unifying the world, and take down all the lands in Hebei.

The main hall of Shuwang Mansion.

The generals of the Wuling Army were all extremely excited, and their fists had never been released since they entered the hall.

Too excited, only by clenching your fists can you slightly suppress your agitation.

As the chief executive of Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Liang agreed with the Northern Expedition.

Whether internal or external, Shu Kingdom has prepared for the capture of Hebei.

The marriage with Wu State destroyed the Sun-Cao alliance to a certain extent, and sold a batch of broken weapons and equipment from Sun Quan, making the relationship between Lu State and Wu State worse than before.

In the country of Shu, the Chengdu Plain and the Hanzhong Plain have not suffered from war for a long time. Coupled with the hard work of the people, these two natural granaries have been harvesting year by year, and their food and grass reserves are enough for the Wuling Army to go out and squander.

In terms of the army, the White Tiger Legion was mainly expanded to 50,000 people, plus two thousand White Tiger Camps, and after the expansion, the beast cavalry reached 500 people, and Zhang Xiong's soldiers had reached 52,500.

The title of the First Legion of the Wuling Army is well deserved!

"Everyone, since they all agree with the Northern Expedition, let's discuss how to advance. And how Sun Quan and Cao Cao should be prepared. When we attack Hebei, don't let them affect our army's attack plan." Wu Shun said.

"The king, I suggest that you order Zhang Xiu, the general of Hulao Pass, and General Ma Chao, the Iron Cavalry of Xiliang, to lead troops to raid Guandu to use this as the entrance for our army to enter Hebei." Zhuge Liang said.

The current state of the three kingdoms in the Central Plains will cause many people to misjudgment the situation.

If Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao raid raid, it is very likely that they will succeed! With the strength of Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, it is more than enough to guard an official ferry.

"Rising Guandu is a good idea, but they need to be taken before our army can take action. However, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu are not there, and there is a lack of generals who will shock Cao's army." Wu Shun said.

Now the most powerful generals in the north are Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, and only three of them are counted as Ma Dai.

As you know, their Wuling army attacked Hebei, and Cao Cao might send troops to Yanzhou.

"Your Majesty, General Dongfang is in Xuzhou. As long as the Zhuque Legion moves north, Cao Cao will not dare to use troops easily." Zhuge Liang said.

Xuzhou Mu is now a strong man in Dongfang, and Pang Tong, who has a high IQ assistant, can be seen in Xuzhou Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

"If Dongfang Qiang moves north, Sun Quan will make an intention to move, and the Vermilion Bird Legion will not have time to react." Wu Shun said.

The strong East is in Xuzhou, which is a shocking force. Once it turns to the north, Sun Quan will have a chance to breathe.

Zhuge Liang had already made arrangements for this issue. He smiled and said to Wu Shun: "Master, can you not have confidence in the Dragon Fleet?"

"King, if the last general is here, the navy of Wu will not dare to move!"

After Zhuge Liang said this, Gan Ning hurriedly came out to express his determination.

The Jiaolong fleet had a total of 50,000 people, twenty warships, countless Meng Chong ships, and three of them were captured and repaired. The combined combat power was not comparable to that of the Jiangdong Navy.

"Don't be anxious when Xingba is upset, of course I trust the Dragon Fleet! In this way, let the Wu Kingdom hand it over to the navy." Wu Shun said.

"Thank you, the navy soldiers will not let the king down!" Gan Ning bowed.

"The State of Lu, Wu has already made arrangements. So when those legions are sent to the Northern Expedition, can the Military Affairs Office have a resolution?" Wu Shun looked at Zhuge Liang and the others.

"Report to the king, I have already drafted a list of legions to go to the expedition, and I also ask the king to decide." Xu Shu took the lead, holding a note in both hands.

The generals' hearts were all raised to their throats by Xu Shu's actions.

Dongfang Qiang, Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao have made arrangements, but there are still many legions that have not been named.

How regrettable it would be if it was left to guard Yizhou this time.

"Um?"

Wu Shun read the memorial and suddenly asked a question: "Yuan Zhi, why did you let the Qinglong Cavalry enter Xuzhou?"

"Ah? King, our Qinglong Legion is not going to Xuzhou, we are going to Hebei."

Wei Yan was almost crying when he heard Wu Shun say this. If they were sent to Xuzhou, they would be strategic support. They would run wherever the war was urgent.

As a cavalry corps, Wei Yan was unwilling to enter the battlefield as soon as possible.

"Yes, the Qinglong Legion went to Hebei, and it was difficult for Yuan's army to resist the charge." Wu Shun also followed Wei Yan's words. In his mind, the Qinglong Legion played a greater power in Hebei.

"Your Majesty, General Wei Yan, Xuzhou is flat, we have just captured it. As soon as the war comes, the Zhuque Legion moves north, and a strong army needs to be left in Xuzhou to shock the Central Plains gentry. I believe that if the Qinglong Legion is in Xuzhou, it can shock the threats in the dark and support various battlefields in time during war."

If a war really starts, the Wuling Army may open up several battlefields. At this time, the support army must be fast.

After Xu Shu explained this, Wu Shun had nothing to say, but Wei Yan was still a little unwilling to accept it.

"Mr. Xu, there are more than one of the fast-speed legions." Wei Yan said weakly, and he was also making the final fight.

"General Wei Yan, in terms of speed, except for the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which general dares to say that there are other legions who march faster than you?" Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Canglang Legion!" Wei Yan blurted out!

"General Wei, the Canglang Legion ran with two legs..."

Shi Zhongyu was speechless, and he didn't expect Wei Yan to pull him into the water at this time.

"Okay, the Qinglong Cavalry is temporarily scheduled to go to Xuzhou to guard!" In the end, Wu Shun made the decision and Shi Zhongyu smiled.

"If the two generals Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao successfully break through Guandu, the White Tiger Legion, the Kirin Legion and the Xuanwu Legion, from Guandu to Hebei, and then push them all the way!" Wu Shundao.

"I will obey the order!"

Zhang Xiong, Zhao Yun and Wen Pin came out.

"If Guandu cannot be captured in time, the White Tiger Legion will find another place and enter Hebei!" Wu Shun said again.

This is not a distrust of Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, but the inability to make just one plan.

After the war begins and the Suzaku Legion converges northward, Yuan's army's defense on the north bank of the Yellow River can be directly ignored.

But what if Zhang Xiu and the others succeed? That will save a lot of time and go directly to Hebei, and the Wuling Army can sweep all the way.

"King, where are our new army attacks?" Meng Huoliao asked.

"King, our Canglang Legion has not arranged it yet!" Shi Zhongyu said.

The Military Affairs Office did not arrange these two legions, because so many legions were dispatched to the Northern Expedition, it was enough.

Wu Shun was unwilling to let their hearts down, so he said, "The Canglang Legion and the New Army soldiers were dispatched with their personal guard camp."
