Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1013 Western Regions
There are actually other reasons why the Western Expeditionary Army can't go any further.The Western Regions is a special region, and various poisonous insects and poisons emerge in endlessly. The Central Plains lacks an understanding of the Western Regions, so there is nothing they can do about these heretics.

"Recently, there seems to be another Shache country in the coalition forces of the Western Regions. When our army is fighting, it is often attacked by poisonous insects and snakes. It is impossible to defend against it." Cao Cao said with emotion.

He originally thought that the Western Regions would be easy to deal with, but who knows that the actual situation is quite different from what he thought.

The climate in the Western Regions is dry and rainless, often windy, and the wind and sand block out the sky and the sun.People from the Western Regions are not so easy to deal with if they can survive here.

The state-owned wizards of the Western Regions are good at driving away insects and snakes. The army conquering the West is not afraid of the enemy, but these poisonous substances are sometimes densely packed and overwhelming, which is really difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the coalition forces in the Western Regions were limited and could not drive the Western Expeditionary Army out of Khotan.

"My lord, I heard that there is a beast cavalry in the Wuling army, and its leader, General Mulu, is good at controlling beasts. We can ask His Majesty to let General Mulu come to support us."

Xu Huang said.

Under the infestation of poisons from the Western Regions, the morale of the soldiers is low, and people are killed every day!The soldiers are not afraid of dying in battle, but being bitten to death by poisonous insects is really a bit aggrieved.

"Mulu, King Mulu of Nanman?"

"My lord is this person."

"Okay, if that's the case, then send someone back to the capital to explain the situation to His Majesty, and at the same time request His Majesty to send General Mulu out."

In the end, Cao Cao decided to follow the advice of Xu Chu and Xu Huang, and sent people back to Kyoto to ask for reinforcements.

This is also a helpless move. According to Cao Cao's prediction, he will wipe out the entire foreign race and continue westward. But now he has only destroyed ten small countries, and he is stuck here and cannot go.

In February of the third year of Huaxia, the general of the Western Expedition sent people back to Beijing to report the results of the Western Expedition to Shu Emperor Wu Shun.

……

In the court hall, Wu Shun told the civil and military officials about the glorious achievements of the Western Expeditionary Army!More than ten countries were destroyed, and the power of Shu was indeed displayed!

Fa Zheng came out and said to Wu Shun:

"The countries in the Western Regions belonged to the Central Plains as early as the Western Han Dynasty. Today, Shu Kingdom is marching westward. Such small border countries dare to resist. I really don't know what it means. Your Majesty, I suggest sending elite Shu troops to enter the Western Regions and expand the territory!"

Fazheng's words made the blood of all the officials surge up. Not long after the establishment of the Kingdom of Shu, the blood of loyal officials has not yet cooled down. As long as they are excited, the belligerent factors will be aroused.

"The Western Expeditionary Army has a total of 2 horses. Do we need more troops? And the Western Expeditionary Army is not in the ranks of our Shu army."

Wu Shun said.

The 2 troops of the Western Expedition were all Cao Cao's old troops, and even the generals had followed Cao Cao before. In order to dispel Cao Cao's suspicion, Wu Shun didn't even equip Cao Cao with military doctors and white-clothed nurses.

When the army marched westward, Wu Shun only gave logistical supplies.

Now that Cao Cao is asking for reinforcements from the army, and has asked Mu Lu to go there by name, this makes it a bit difficult for Wu Shun to do so.

Because of Mulu, he participated in Meng Huo's two-year rebellion in China and has been imprisoned!

"Your Majesty is afraid of reinforcements from the army, and the General Zhengxi will not be able to unify the command?"

Fazheng asked.

"This is just one of them. There is another point. General Zhengxi said that the poison from the Western Regions is blocking them. He asked me to send a capable man who knows how to control beasts to help him."

Wu Shun said.

"Beast tamers, General Mulu can go." Fazheng said after a little thought.

"Mu Lu is in prison now, how can he go to the Western Regions?" Wu Shun asked.

In fact, Mu Lu's crimes are big or small. He was only coerced by Meng Huo as a barbarian king, so he had to join Meng Huo's rebellion. In Meng Huo's army, Mu Lu did not act several times. He actually helped the White Tiger Army to suppress the rebellion, so it is okay to say that he has made meritorious service.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if General Zhengxi can't defeat the Western Regions, he is throwing Shu's face into disrepute. We should send troops to subdue the Western Regions completely! Mu Lu helped a lot when he pacified Meng Huo, Not a villainous person."

Zhang Xiong came out and said.

Whenever there was a chance to fight, Zhang Xiong couldn't sit still, and even took the initiative to say good things for Mu Lu.

"What do you mean?" Wu Shun looked at the other ministers.

"We should send troops to support!" All the ministers said together.

"Where's Mulu?" Wu Shun asked again.

"Your Majesty may allow him to perform crimes and meritorious deeds!" the ministers said again.

"Okay, let's do it like this! But who should we ask to support?" Wu Shun was in trouble.

Now the generals are eager for this opportunity, and they are all watching eagerly.

"Kong Ming, tell me, which general is suitable?"

At the critical moment, Wu Shun threw this difficult problem to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang gave a wry smile, and went out to the ranks: "Your Majesty, since General Zhengxi asked General Mulu to go, he simply sent the White Tiger Army to support it. The White Tiger Army is the most elite unit of our Shu army. After the coordination and reorganization of the arms, the combat power Ascension has not yet been truly tested."

"Haha, thank you Lord Zhuge!"

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Xiong couldn't help but smile, and thanked Zhuge Liang again and again.

"White Tiger Legion, that's a 5-strong army. General Zhengxi has only 2 horses under his command. Who will command the White Tiger Legion when it goes like this?" Wu Shun said.

When the army is fighting outside, the most taboo thing is not knowing the general order.

Zhang Xiong went to the Western Regions. With his status and majesty, it was difficult for Cao Cao to command him. If the command authority is not clear, it is easy to go wrong.

"Your Majesty, when I go to the Western Regions, all battle plans will be obeyed by General Zhengxi!" Zhang Xiong promised.

"In this case, let your White Tiger Legion go, bring half of the soldiers to support, and at the same time bring the wooden deer!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiong bowed to accept the order.

It is determined that the White Tiger Legion will be used as reinforcements, and the other legion chiefs will not be happy, but this does not matter much. All legions have undergone emergency reinforcements, and the specific effect is not yet known. It is not bad to let the White Tiger Legion go to the new configuration.

Mu Lu was released by Wu Shun, and when he learned that Wu Shun asked him to go to the Western Regions to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, Mu Lu was so excited that he looked up to the sky and howled.Facing the direction of the palace, I can't afford to kneel!
He, Mu Lu, was loyal to His Majesty, and because of his status, he had to agree to Meng Huo's request.Fortunately, Meng Huo didn't last long before he was beheaded by Zhang Xiong.Although he was imprisoned, but Wu Shun didn't execute him immediately, there was still a chance.

Mu Lu, who has returned to the White Tiger Army, has made up his mind not to make mistakes easily.At the same time, he wants to show his talent and make Wu Shun look at him with admiration again!
In March of the third year of Huaxia, under the instruction of Wu Shun, Zhang Xiong, the protector of the Shu Kingdom, led [-] soldiers of the White Tiger Army, and went west out of Yangguan to the Western Regions to support Cao Cao, the general who conquered the west.

Mu Lu learned that people in the Western Regions are good at controlling insects, and he was very much looking forward to it. He was not afraid of anyone in the competition of controlling beasts.
