Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 164 Bingzhou Mu

The Spring Festival had just passed, and Zhang Wu couldn't wait to invite Diao Chan, Zhang Ning, and Kuai Yuer over. Because she was a concubine, it didn't take much trouble to keep the etiquette simple.

Xuchang temporarily calmed down.

The entire Sima family was wiped out, and the shock caused was not as huge as imagined.

Firstly, because the Sima family is not yet considered the top wealthy family.

Secondly, it was because of the ridiculous reason for the family extermination: the child took revenge for personal gain.

Of course, as the mastermind, Cao Pi didn't miss anything.

After being whipped beautifully, he was handed over to Tingwei for further punishment.

As for how heavy the punishment is?

Anyone with a discerning eye can't see that Jia Xu is a master who doesn't take any responsibility. He said that he would be responsible for the matter, but it was nothing more than letting it go.

How to judge and when to judge is not all determined by the old fox's mouth.

However, this punishment had reached its peak, and no one jumped out blindly and insisted on Cao Pi paying for his life.

As soon as the first lunar month passed, Xuchang became busy again.

Although Cao Cao occupies the land of three states, including Bingzhou counts as four states. In terms of food, it is almost unable to keep up with the supply.

Bingzhou was barren, and Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou were the hardest-hit areas by the Yellow Turban outbreak. Almost all the grain stored in the warehouses over the years was wiped out by the Yellow Turbans.

What's more, Cao Cao swept Chang'an and Luoyang and gained too many people.

The reason why the forces can still operate normally is because they are relying on the capital left by Xiwu.

It's okay when the weather is good, but if there's a drought or locust plague, hundreds of thousands of refugees will instantly appear in the four states.

Dominating Xuzhou, the world's granary, has almost become an imminent matter.

The meeting hall.

Zhang Wu slapped the table: "Father-in-law, I don't accept it. Why is there no place for me when we go to Xuzhou?"

Xun Yu has finished reading the list of expedition members.

Boss Cao still sits in charge of the central army and goes out with the army.

Xia Houyuan, the left forward, and Xu Huang, the deputy.

Xiahou Dun is the pioneer on the right, and Tai Shici is the deputy general.

Cao Ren, who was transferred back from Runan, along with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, went out with the Chinese army.

Cheng Yu and Guo Jiaren, the military advisors, also offered wine.

A total of 50,000 troops were recruited.

The lineup was luxurious enough, but Zhang Wu's name was not there, so how could he not be angry?

In the two years since he entered Cao's camp, he had fought dozens of battles, large and small, and never failed to lag behind others.

Besides, he doesn't have a clue about the fourth martial spirit, and the activation progress is still 0%. If he doesn't fight, where can he unlock it?

Cao Cao had a headache due to the noise, and rubbed his temples with his hands: "How unbecoming is it to yell and scream? I haven't finished reading yet!"

Not finished?
  Zhang Wu looked at Xun Yu suspiciously.

It stands to reason that the two front lines of vanguard and the Chinese army's holding force are complete, so it is impossible to have a second line of army.

Xuzhou is not like Qingzhou. In Qingzhou, he could still divide his troops to attack Runan.

But now, regardless of Yuan Shu or Tao Qian, the main battle line is deployed in Xuzhou. That is, where can they divide the army?
  Xun Yu smiled: "Don't panic, Zi Qian, I've already thought of your appointment."

After picking up another scroll of bamboo slips, Xun Yu continued to read:
  "The hussar general Zhang Wu led the Bingzhou Mu and prepared the cavalry troops under his tent to guard against Ma Teng in Guanzhong, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. He acted with discretion and acted decisively in situations. He also calmed down General Lu Bu of the East, guerrilla general Huang Zhong, and Yanmen Prefect Zhang Liao is listening to the order under the tent."

Zhang Wu glanced at Cao Cao and asked uncertainly: "Really, you act secretly and act arbitrarily when things happen?" "Where do you think you can bargain?"

"Hehehe, that's alright, so I'll take over Bingzhou Mu, but I'll have to transfer Gongda to me as a valet."

If he just wanted to be strict and defensive, Zhang Wu would have to think about it, but if he wanted to be arbitrary when things happened, Bingzhou would be much more interesting than Xuzhou.

What does Xuzhou have? A fool, Yuan Shu, and a fool, Tao Qian. If these two guys are tied together, they cannot be Cao Cao's opponents. Moreover, the two families have already become enemies and it is impossible to join forces. Once Cao Cao's army is gone, maybe Tao Qian can surrender directly. , even if Zhang Wu follows, it will be the icing on the cake at most.

Now that there are better options, only a fool would go to Xuzhou.

Bingzhou is very interesting, with a vast territory and many bordering lands, even leaving aside Ma Teng, Yuan Shao, Gongsun, Qiang, Hu and Xianbei.

When it comes to the chaos of the situation, it is definitely worse than Xuzhou.

As long as there is a war, it is not a matter of going wherever you go, not to mention that if you go to Bingzhou, you will still be the top leader and you can do whatever you want.

Zhang Wu happily accepted the appointment and sat down again.

The rest is the transfer of personnel in various pass and important cities.

April of the third year of Chuping.

Cao Cao's army marched eastward to Xuzhou. In the same month, Zhang Wu led his army to turn north and replace Cao Chun.

Entering Bingzhou again, the army was warmly welcomed by the local people along the way.

There are many people delivering water and meals along the way, and some even directly lead their daughters at home to talk to matchmakers.

When they heard that the leader was Zhang Wu, everyone who saw him knelt down and kowtowed.

When he was in Xuchang, he didn't feel such enthusiasm. When he really arrived in Bingzhou, Zhang Wu had a good experience of the treatment that a national hero should have.

All the way down, I was almost smiling.

In mid-April, the army entered Jinyang and sent Zhang Liao to garrison at Yanmen Pass.

State pastoral office.

Everyone took their seats.

Zhang Wu sat on the main seat with a golden sword: "Gongda, last time we were in Runan, you defeated the Jiangdong Sun family with one plan. Now that we are in Bingzhou, what can you teach me?"

Xun You was still the same, smiling shyly: "The prime minister has already explained, why is Ziqian asking me?"

"No, why don't I know what my father-in-law told me?"

“The cameras act.”

"What you said is a bit too general, it's not like you said it at all."

Xun You drank the tea and continued: "Cultivate the people's livelihood, restore the formation of the cavalry, and if Zi Qian has enough appetite, conquer Guanzhong to the south, and expel the Qiang and Hu to the west. There is no place in the vast world that cannot be done."

"Hahahaha, you still understand me. Yuan Shao and Gongsun in the east have too much time to take care of themselves. I guess he has no time to seek bad luck with me. So let's say hello to Ma Teng who conquered Chang'an first. Neighbors should always be friendly in the future. Everyone. Will obey orders."

A group of people stood up one after another.

"Gongda, you will sit in Jinyang and start restoring people's livelihood."

Xun Yu bowed: "Yes."

He is the deputy governor of a state, and this is his responsibility, and there is nothing to shirk.

"Lu Bu, you will be in charge of recruiting troops. Select 20,000 warriors between eighteen and forty, distribute war horses, and reorganize Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry."

Lu Bu's eyes were gleaming, he clasped his hands into fists and knelt down on one knee: "No!"

"Han Sheng, please light up five hundred flying bears and come with me to Chang'an."

"Order!"
