Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1037 Personal expedition
"Are you so worried about me? With Qu'a, Zilong, Meng Qi, Zhongye and other powerful generals around, how can mere prairie bandits hurt me at all?"

Wu Shun was a little unhappy. After so many years, why did he personally conscript? He always stayed in the capital, feeling bored.

"Your Majesty, thieves in the grassland are nothing to worry about, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone your majesty, you are the ninety-five supreme." Pang Tong came out to persuade.

These courtiers agreed on the matter of Wu Shun's personal conquest.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again. Qu'a led five thousand imperial guards to accompany him, and the Qilin Legion immediately regrouped and prepared to go out!"

Wu Shun didn't want to keep talking, so he ordered directly.

In such a situation, Zhuge Liang and others did not dare to continue admonishing him. Wang Lei, who dared to die admonishing him, had retired and returned to Yizhou to take care of himself.

"Your Majesty, please go out with the army and serve as the military adviser in front of His Majesty's tent!" Xu Shu came out and said.

Seeing Xu Shu taking a quick step, Zhuge Liang and the others all shook their heads and sighed. Now that they each have important tasks to take care of, Wu Shun can only lead the army with one person.

Xu Shu was the first to realize that it was not easy for them to fight.Daily management and office work in China still requires people.There must be capable people staying behind in the country!

"Okay, sure!" Wu Shun smiled, and it was enough for the ministers not to stop him.

Now that the crown prince Wu Hao is grown up, it doesn't really matter whether Wu Shun is in the capital or not. Under the careful training of Zhuge Liang and others, Wu Hao can already handle state affairs.

"The crown prince is in charge of the country, and all the ministers should do their best to assist. I will go out in person to avoid the troubles in the north!" Wu Shun stood up and said, "Kong Ming, you must ensure that the frontline army has sufficient supplies! The battlefield is outside the country, and the logistical pressure Big!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to guarantee all the supplies the army needs!" Zhuge Liang came out and said.

"Father, are the Dragon Spear Guards going to fight?" Wu Hao came out and asked.

Dragon Spear Guards is the unified title of arquebus soldiers, belonging to the Suzaku Legion.But they are stationed in the imperial city all the year round.

Wu Shun was very fond of this army, so the army had a lot of training, guns and bullets were all open for supply, and almost all the soldiers of the Dragon Spear Guards had practiced the special skills of pointing and hitting.

The speed of the bullet is faster than the arrow, and if it works properly on the battlefield, it can play a great role.

"Bring two thousand Dragon Spear Guards!" Wu Shun would have forgotten if Wu Hao hadn't reminded him.This group of trained sharpshooters has hardly participated in any battles, and they are going to be taken out to practice.

Let them experience the cruelty of life and death on the battlefield, so that they will always feel that they are invincible in the capital.

…………

In November of the fourth year of Huaxia, Wu Shun led his troops to march in person!Nearly [-] troops went straight to Liaodong, trying to block the grassland ministries from crossing the border.

At the same time, Ma Chao had led the Xiliang iron cavalry to battle the prairie tribe several times. Because of the heavy snow, neither side could win a substantial victory.

In order to contain Ma Chao, the two ministries of Xianbei and Wuhuan sent elites to operate along the border of Shu, making it impossible for Ma Chao to support Goguryeo.

Fortunately, because of the fear of the Shu army, the various ministries of the grassland did not dare to get too close to the territory of the Shu Kingdom until they took down Goguryeo and regained their vitality.

"General Wen, the grassland ministries are about to attack Goguryeo, Liaodong and other places are in danger, should we send troops to garrison and strengthen defense?" Ma Chao suggested to Wenpin.

"General Ma Chao, His Majesty has decreed that Goguryeo, Baekje, and Three Koreas should unite to resist the invasion, and the Qinglong Army has already rushed to Liaodong. In addition to your Majesty's personal conquest, Liaodong and other places have gathered troops. Safety is not a problem," Wenpin said.

Wu Shun has already led the army, and the destination is Liaodong, so Wenpin knows that they only need to protect the north.

Especially the Xuanwu Legion, as long as they can use their defensive capabilities.

"I hate those prairie people. They fight and don't fight, and they don't go!" Ma Chao said bitterly.

The two elites of Xianbei and Wuhuan held Ma Chao far away, so he had to be stationed here and could not be transferred to other places.

In a real fight, the Xiliang iron cavalry is not something that Xianbei and Wuhuan can match.

"Meng Qi wants to go to Liaodong?" Hearing Ma Chao's complaint, Wen Pin could somewhat guess what he was thinking.

Ma Chao didn't deny it either, and said directly: "Your Majesty's personal expedition, the main battlefield is in Goguryeo. That's where the soldiers fought bloody battles. The last general really wants to go."

"Well, the iron cavalry from Xiliang is not very useful to stay here, and it is indeed more suitable to go to Goguryeo." Wen Pin said.

"General Wen agrees with the general's idea?" Wen Pin's answer surprised Ma Chao.

"There is a Xuanwu Legion stationed here, so nothing will go wrong. Meng Qi can rest assured." Wen Pin said.

The Xuanwu Legion is famous all over the world for its strong defensive capabilities. Wherever there is the Xuanwu Legion, the enemy must not be willing to face it.

"But the Xianbei and Wuhuan people are here, so I'm afraid it's not easy to transfer. Besides, His Majesty hasn't arrived yet, so we can't notify His Majesty in advance. I'm afraid they will be blamed if they move without an order!" Ma Chao expressed his concern.

They were ordered to guard the northern border and keep the prairie people out.Instead of helping Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty often says that military orders will not be tolerated when the general is away! Xiliang iron cavalry can chase and kill the enemy along the way." Wen Pin gave Ma Chao advice.

Transferring from within the national border is not justified. If it is chasing prairie cavalry outside, that is another matter.

"Haha, thank you General Wen for your guidance, I will leave this place to General Wen!" Ma Chao saluted solemnly!
…………

That night, Ma Chao led the Xiliang iron cavalry to attack the two troops of Xianbei Wuhuan at night. The Xianbei Wuhuan cavalry retreated in a hurry, but Ma Chao turned to Liaodong halfway after chasing them.

A night of blizzard and cold wind blowing, the traces of the Xiliang iron cavalry were directly covered up, and the Xianbei Wuhuan cavalry who returned the next day had lost sight of Ma Chao...

"Your Majesty, beyond this frontier is the boundary of Goguryeo!"

Xu Shu pointed to the vast snowfield and said to Wu Shun.

"Goguryeo is being invaded. As the suzerain, we can't just sit idly by! Order the army to rest for two days, and when the soldiers regain their strength, immediately enter Goguryeo and kill the grassland thieves!"

The subordinate country was attacked. Although Wu Shun said that he should not sit idly by, but the Shu army rushed all the way from Kyoto and needed time to rest.Otherwise, the effect of killing the tired soldiers is not ideal, and it may also give the prairie people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The suzerain country needs to show a powerful and unparalleled side to help the subordinate country, that is, enter the territory of Goguryeo with the army, kill the grassland people to the ground, cry for their father and mother, throw away their armor...

The tribes of the grassland continued to burn, kill and loot in Goguryeo, and their vitality recovered a little. However, this winter lacked food, and their soldiers and horses were relatively thin, and they did not have the sturdy spirit of the past.

Hearing that the emperor of the Shu Kingdom was going to conquest in person, the people in charge of all the grassland ministries were terrified, but in order to survive, they had to bite the bullet and accept this battle.
