Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 177 Analysis of the Situation
It took a month for the Wuling Army to repair. During this period, the situation in Xichuan was very unstable.Many people know that the Wuling Army has opened the gates of Xichuan and is eyeing the north.

Although Liu Zhang sent two generals to sit in the town, he still couldn't control the situation.After all, the Sichuan army easily lost two passes. If this spreads, it may cause panic.

It is understandable that Xichuan strictly controls the flow of news to avoid random speculation by the public.But the black-clothed guards arranged by Wu Shun didn't take the opportunity to spread rumors, which is very intriguing.

It stands to reason that to attack a place and let it mess up from the inside is always a bad strategy.

Before Xichuan's black-clothed guards received Wang Yue's instructions, they were only responsible for collecting information before they received a new mission, and they didn't need to do other unnecessary things, so as not to mess up the master's plan!

The Wuling army is different from the armies of other princes.If it were Cao Cao's attack instead, he would definitely publicize the fact that the pass had fallen in Xichuan, which would be used to hit the morale of the Sichuan army.It's a pity that Wu Shun is not Cao Cao. Cao Cao can get the support and followers of the gentry, but when he comes to Wu Shun, these are things that he dare not expect.

Wherever the Wuling army went, the landlords' families would be in trouble.Of course this is not absolute.The Wuling army would not move a single hair when they met a squire or sage who was prestigious and loved by the people.But it would be nice to have one or two sages in a place.Most of the gentry have a lofty attitude. In their eyes, commoners are completely untouchables and mud legs.

Influenced by Wu Shun, the Wuling Army hates such gentry the most.There is definitely one to do one, without hesitation!

It is precisely because of this that Yizhou and even the world's aristocratic families hate Wu Shun and regard people in Wuling County as different.The Wuling army is even more "bandit army" among the gentry!
If the Black Yiwei spread the news of the fall of the two dangerous passes in the north in Xichuan.There will definitely be chaos, but it is more likely that the gentry in Xichuan and Liu Zhang put aside their past differences and work together to deal with Wu Shun.That's not a good thing to happen.

To be on the safe side, Wu Shun didn't let the guard in black do that!If the landlords and families of the Xichuan territory were added together, their private soldiers, family generals, would cooperate with Liu Zhang's actions.Even if the Wuling army broke through many dangers and entered Xichuan, they would still fall into the quagmire.

Wu Shun doesn't have many troops, and it's best to take Yizhou quickly.Once the situation in the Central Plains becomes clear, I don't know if anyone will come to share a piece of the pie.The Wuling army can now attack Yizhou with peace of mind taking advantage of Yuan Shu's assist.If Yuan Shu couldn't hold on and lost the battle, then Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Cao Cao and the others would definitely make things difficult for Wu Shun if they freed up their hands.

Yizhou is not only a large territory, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack.With the Central Shu Plain, many necessary resources can be supplied independently.It looks like a country within a country.Yizhou is an excellent place for foundation!Anyone with a little foresight will not let others occupy it.

The reason why Cao Cao gave Wu Shun so much power was that he was named General Zhengxi and also named Marquis of Chenyang County.In fact, it is also selfish.

The Cao Cao Group believes that although the Wuling Army is elite, its numbers are only a few.With the strength of one county in Wuling County, it is impossible to raise more soldiers.

One hundred thousand troops has exceeded the support capacity of a county.If it weren't for Wu Shun's vigorous discovery of agriculture in the early years, construction of water conservancy projects, and active admission of refugees. The cost of 10 horses is enough to bring down Wuling County.

If Wu Shun conquers Hanzhong, Hanzhong's wealth can increase a lot of troops.While recruits need to be trained, Wu Shun is in a hurry to enter Sichuan.This is why Cao Cao has the interest of waiting and watching.

When asking for Dong, almost all the benefits were taken by the Wuling army.At that time Cao Cao admired Wu Shun very much.At that time, Wu Shun was unknown, but his courageous and strategic attitude really surprised many people.It's a pity that there are not many people who are willing to make friends because of their backgrounds.At that time, Wu Shun had a good relationship with Sun Jian.

Now Cao Cao's own power is developing well, and the emperor is under his control.And Wu Shun was still staying in Wuling County, and was suppressed by Liu Biao in the southwest of Jingxi.Now that he has the courage to fight westward, Cao Cao is very curious, if the Wuling army smashes Xichuan hard, will it hurt both sides?This is what Cao Cao wants to see.

Li Jue and Guo Si in Changsha were short-sighted and had no ambitions. Cao Cao didn't take them seriously.Cao Cao's advisers also said that if you want Chang'an, you only need a few tricks.So in Cao Cao's view.Chang'an is his family's back garden, but it's just lent to others.He can take it back whenever he wants.

With the ability of the Cao Cao Group, it is not difficult to capture Chang'an.Why not take it now?One is because Cao Jun cannot fight on two fronts.Now that he is busy dealing with Yuan Shu, there is no time to trouble Li Jue and Guo Si.The second is that Wushun's Wuling Army is now fighting fiercely with Liu Zhang's Sichuan Army.Once Cao Cao takes Chang'an, Wu Shun will withdraw his troops and strengthen the defense forces in Hanzhong.And Liu Biao will also be wary of Cao Jun.

For Cao Cao, the most ideal situation is that after the coalition forces he organized defeated Yuan, the Wuling Army and the Sichuan Army happened to lose both.When he took Chang'an, he took Hanzhong and Xichuan by the way.

Wu Shun chose to capture Liu Zhang's territory, so he would naturally take these into consideration.Therefore, before the war in the Central Plains subsides, the Wuling Army must invade Xichuan.If not, then at the very least, you must occupy all four dangerous passes, so that you can occupy a situation where you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend.

By defending the dangerous pass, the Wuling Army can spare a large number of troops to deal with other troubles.And Liu Zhang's Sichuan army will still be suppressed in Xichuan and unable to get out.

It is not as cheap as imagined to capture Xichuan and occupy the entire territory of Yizhou.The bandit attributes of the Wuling Army are destined to encounter the most tenacious resistance.At least, the aristocratic families in Yizhou do not welcome the Wuling Army, and the people of Yizhou can only understand the Wuling Army through various means of the gentry.All they know is Wu Shun's cruel and heartless, Wuling army's murderous side.

At this time, the common people have very few channels to obtain information.The first-hand information is mastered by the gentry.The power of public opinion naturally belongs to the gentry.The people of the world in this era refer to the gentry of the world in a narrow sense.

The common people are at the bottom, with no news and exploited.More than nine out of ten of labor income does not belong to oneself.Some of the worse ones are not your own.

But Wu Shun wanted to change this phenomenon.This approach undoubtedly touched the interests of the aristocratic family.Blocking people's money is like killing your parents.The hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of taking one's wife away, these are mortal grievances!
Wu Shun is like this, and he is the opposite of the gentry in the world.This also determines the difficult and dangerous road ahead for the Wuling Army!Struggle!

Regardless of the situation in the Central Plains, all members of the Wuling Army at this moment will be refreshed.Zhou Cang also improved greatly under the intensive care of the military doctor.

Wu Shun ordered people to bring great tonic medicinal materials from Linyuan, and the poor Zhou Cang almost ate it as "no supplements".Zhou Cang was happy that his body was getting better day by day, but he was more moved.Wu Shun asked Hei Yiwei to deliver the medicine for him.What kind of precious supplements such as century-old ginseng should be given to him as a meal.Wu Shun also visited him every day while he was in bed.

Of course, those who were extremely excited were the wounded soldiers of the Wuling Army.The wounded barracks, which used to be wailing constantly, can now be said to be the quietest place.

When he was free, Wu Shun would go to the wounded barracks to visit the wounded soldiers.For the disabled, let Xu Shu do a good job of resettlement in advance.Those who can go back to the battlefield, Wu Shun told the military doctors to treat them carefully and not to leave any hidden dangers.For the needed medicine, Yang Youcai was directly ordered to bring it.

In addition, the food in the wounded barracks is better than other barracks.This is also for their faster recovery.Wu Shun's concern made the wounded soldiers feel that the injury was worth it.So during the treatment, no matter how much their bodies hurt, they can grit their teeth and hold on, because now their hearts are warm.
