Chapter 95: Practicing and preparing for war
Dong Zhuo abolished the Shao Emperor and renamed the King of Chenliu, and moved the capital to Chang'an. The Xiliang army had extremely poor military discipline and was arrogant and blessed in the territory of Chang'an. Whether it was the ministers in the court or the common people, they all bullied them wantonly, causing anger to the heavens and people.
Due to Dong Zhuo's great power, everyone in the Han Dynasty was in danger. No one dared to stand out because they didn't know how many birds died...
Now, someone finally took action to deal with Dong Zhuo, and he was killed with one blow. The old Taoist was cruel, and only Dacheng like Wang Yun, who was good at intrigue, could think of it.
Wu Shun knew that after Dong Zhuo died, there would be several major battles in Chang'an, and then the Han Emperor, who thought he would escape from the cage, would return to Luoyang. He would be kidnapped by Cao Cao to Xuchang soon, and began his life's tragic story. Although Wu Shun sympathized with him, he would not compete with Cao Cao. Wu Shun felt that he was not as tolerant as Cao Cao. If he successfully brought the Han Emperor to Wuling, he would be fine if he was obedient. Once he dared to plan his life, Wu Shun would defeat him first!
Wu Shun has always attached great importance to his own life!
In the chaos in Chang'an, Wang Yun, who planned to kill Dong Zhuo, also died, and of course more innocent people died. Later, Chang'an was controlled by Guo Si and Li Jue. The two followed one man's plan and led their troops to fight with Lu Bu. Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers were small and they were no match for the two, so they had to lead their troops to retreat to Chang'an.
Wu Shun lives in Wuling County and lives a carefree life. Apart from occasionally patrolling the military camp, only Xiaobai is left to accompany Xiaobai. Tian Qian'er also returned to the military camp a few days ago, but she was a little hiding from Wu Shun.
"Lord, military advisor and General Zhang are back!"
Relaxing comfortably on the Taishi chair, Wu Shun was eating the grapes fed by Xiaobai. A personal soldier came in and immediately broke the artistic conception.
"I'm finally back."
After Xiaobai helped to sort out his clothes, Wu Shun hurried to the front hall. He was eager to know the result of Xu Shu's trip to the southern barbarians. Although he had known it for a long time, he still preferred to listen to Xu Shu's personal report.
"Master!"
"Brother!"
Seeing Wu Shun enter the hall, Xu Shu and Zhang Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Yuanzhi, second brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing the two men who saluted him, Wu Shun hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.
This time, the journey to the Southern Manchus was a little far away, and it was full of rugged mountain roads. Xu Shu, Zhang Xiong and others had suffered a lot. After several days of rushing, even Zhang Xiong's face was full of fatigue, let alone Xu Shu.
Seeing the tired faces of the two, Wu Shunxin couldn't bear it and wanted them to go back and rest first, but Xu Shu insisted on finishing the business.
Since he has worshipped the lord and has the distinction between the lord and the ministers, he should do his duty. He traveled a long distance and went to the Southern Barbarians to discuss major plans. In Xu Shu's opinion, these are his duties. Doing his best to do his best to do his job is what they should do.
"Yuan Zhi, what do you say about our plan?"
Seeing Xu Shu insisting, Wu Shun had no choice but to ask about official business, but at this moment, his heart was a little fluctuating.
"The Southern Barbarian King agreed, but he asked the lord to go to sign the alliance in person." Xu Shu said.
"I can go to the Nanman, just agree! This is how Yizhou is in sight!"
He should have gone to sign the alliance himself. Only in this way can he show sincerity. It is normal for Meng Huo to have such a request. If Meng Huo does not need Wu Shun to go there personally, he should carefully consider Meng Huo’s intentions.
"Lord, I heard that Dong Zhuo is dead?"
The matter to be explained has been finished, and Xu Shu asked about another important news he had just heard.
"That's right, he was designed to die by Wang Yun and Lu Bu!" Wu Shun said.
"It's really a turbulent time. In this way, all the princes of the Central Plains will inevitably start a chaotic war, which may affect our army's actions against Yizhou."
Dong Zhuo's death involved too much, and Xu Shu could not be sure whether it would affect Wuling County.
"Yuan Zhi was worried too much. Isn't there any Liu Biao? Even if Liu Biao doesn't want it, can the aristocratic families in Jingzhou still not want it? The world is in chaos, and the first thing others think about is Liu Biao!"
Wu Shun had already figured this out. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Liu Biao blocking the storm in front of him, the Wuling Army happened to secretly take down Yizhou. When the princes came to their senses, Yizhou had already been surnamed Wu at that time.
"The lord is right, I'm ashamed..."
As the chief strategist, Xu Shu couldn't help feeling embarrassed if he didn't see this.
"Yuan Zhi must not belittle himself. You are just tired and need a rest urgently! Go back and rest quickly. Look at your thin and dark look. Next time you meet Aunt Xu, I should blame me for not taking care of you, hahaha..."
Xu Shu was really tired, and his drowsy feeling made it difficult for him to concentrate on thinking. Wu Shun asked him to go back and rest, so he just said goodbye.
"Second brother, I heard that you are a big show in the Southern Barbarians!"
Wu Shun naturally knew about Zhang Xiong's affairs in the Southern Barbarians. Defeating the recognized warrior, Zhang Xiong's name had resounded throughout the Southern Barbarians.
"Hehe, if my elder brother didn't often say he wanted to be low-key, that's what he called it. I could beat him up without five moves!"
When he returned to Linyuan, Zhang Xiong also showed his nature. Here he should not be deliberately low-key. In the Wuling Army, the soldiers only respect the strong. If you are low-key, the soldiers will not buy it. They will think you are cowardly. And the Wuling Army does not need to be cowardly! So in the Wuling Army, as long as you have the ability, it is good to be high-profile. The problem is that you must be able to block the bricks and slap secretly taken!
"Hahahaha, the second leader is still as heroic as ever!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiong was also exhausted, Wu Shun sent him back despite his boastfulness. But before leaving, Zhang Xiong extorted himself a jar of top-quality immortal wine. This was quite helpless. Wu Shun would naturally keep it for Zhang Xiong. But drinking wine is like drinking water, and Yang Youcai could not afford it, so Wu Shun would supply it in limited quantities!
The generals in the army like to gather in the White Tiger Camp because Zhang Xiong was generous and always liked to show off when he got good things, and then asked everyone to drink together. The best fairy wine, no one can resist the power of this wine at present. Even Wenpin, who has always been calm and moderate, would join in the fun!
As we are about to show our strength, the training in the army is about to begin to be carried out, Wu Shun said intimately.
"Qua!"
"The last one will be here!"
Hearing Wu Shun call him, Qu A hurriedly came in and waited for the order.
"From tomorrow, the major legions will resume daily training, please inform me!"
In winter, in order to show his compassion for the soldiers, Wu Shun reduced the amount of daily training and gave the soldiers more time to do their own things. For example, going home to reunite with their family, or talking to the girl he likes, etc.
As a lord, you must understand the needs of the subordinates. This is a good lord! Wu Shun has always asked himself this way.
The next day, the four major armies of Wuling Army resumed normal training, and the soldiers were very enthusiastic. Why? Because once the lord asked for strengthening training, it means that there was a war to fight in the near future. Now the lord asked for resumption of training, which means that they can go to war again soon. Knowing that there was a war, the soldiers of Wuling Army were very excited!
If it wasn't for winter, they would all want to fight to fight Liu Biao, and even if they were not good, they would go to suppress the bandits! Some of the brothers who slept in the same tent together had made merits and became captains, which made other soldiers who had not yet had official positions envious! They wished they would fight tomorrow, try to kill more enemies, and also get an official position and win a glorious family!
Whether it is a general or an ordinary soldier, the Wuling Army will leave their names in Zhonglie Pavilion after death. Zhonglie Pavilion will record their achievements for future generations to remember!
The existence of Zhonglie Pavilion inspired the soldiers of Wuling to fight bravely without fear of casualties, because after death, their names could be engraved on the tablets of Zhonglie Pavilion.
