Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 568 The Eve of the Great War
After forming an alliance with Sun Ce, Wu Shun was less concerned.At this time, Cao Cao didn't dare to start the war lightly, and Wu had time to digest the two newly acquired counties by the way, so as to increase his strength.

After the officials of Changsha and Guilin counties finished making arrangements, the Wuling Army began pre-war preparations.

It is worth mentioning that many graduates of Yizhou Academy were assigned to various counties and participated in politics.

This means that the strength Wu Shun cultivated himself is thriving.

The medical school run by two genius doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, also taught many famous doctors.

Graduated doctors, grateful for Wu Shun's kindness, have many people who have entered the army and become military doctors.In this way, the medical conditions of the Wuling Army are unprecedentedly good.

Because there are white-clothed nurses in the army, the soldiers are willing to train hard. In case of an accident, they will "train and hurt" themselves, and they can still get caring care from the nurses.

It's just that there is a strict order in the army that those who are intentionally injured during training will be dismissed from the army!Only such harsh punishment can suppress those energetic soldiers.

……

The people in Changsha and Guilin counties are used to hearing bad things about Wu Shun. In their impression, the Wuling army is cruel and heartless, robbing, killing people... they do all sorts of evil.

However, after two months, the people in these two counties had a different impression of the Wuling Army.He also turned from fear to love for Wu Shun.

Which high official is willing to distribute the land to the poor people?Yizhou Mu is willing.

Which official is willing to go to the field to discuss farming with old farmers?Yizhou officials are willing.

The county magistrates assigned to Changsha and Guilin are generally students of Yizhou Academy.They were deeply influenced by Wu Shun and sincerely helped the common people, so naturally they won the latter's trust very quickly.

After the two counties returned to their hearts, Wu Shun ordered a new round of conscription!
Those who join the Wuling Army will be issued military registration!The relatives of those who join the army are called military relatives and enjoy special treatment.

The most important thing is that all elite regiments of the Wuling Army are professional soldiers, and their job is to fight.

Of course, some soldiers who are not strong enough to enter the legion can also join the field soldiers, and they also have military status, but their main task is not to go to battle to kill the enemy.

The conscription order was spread in Changsha and Guilin counties, and countless soldiers joined the army!
Reassuringly, Wu Shun ordered Zhao Yun and Qu A to conduct the selection.Select some seedlings with a good foundation for training, and supplement them to the various legions in the future.

Today's big man has formed two fighting camps!One is dominated by Cao Cao, with the main purpose of resisting the Wuling Army.

The other one, headed by Wu Shun, aims to sweep away the injustices in the world and restore the world to a bright future!
These two camps are destined to have a battle, and this battle will determine the ownership of the world!If Cao Cao wins, the Wuling Army will be wiped out.When Cao Cao is defeated, the Wuling army will sweep the world!
Both Cao Cao and Wu Shun knew that this battle would not be too far away.They are also working hard to prepare.

When Wu Shun conquered Changsha and Guilin, Cao Jun also crossed the Yellow River, further oppressing Yuan's forces.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao, the first hero, was unable to rise again after his defeat in the Battle of Guandu.

His three sons fought for power, and the Yuan family's power had been divided into three factions, and their strength was greatly damaged.

Facing the wolf-like Cao Jun, Yuan's soldiers retreated steadily!

Cao Cao invaded Hebei in order to plunder the population and accumulate strength.Wars continued in the Central Plains, and the people were displaced. Many refugees flocked to Yizhou, enriching the population of Yizhou.

As far as the source of troops is concerned, Cao Cao's pressure is much greater than that of Wu Shun.

Hearing that the Wuling Army was increasing its troops, Cao Cao couldn't sit still.However, the conscription was ordered after get off work, and there was another wave of refugees in the Central Plains!
Many people hate war and don't want to join the army.

Cao Cao issued a conscription order, what should Cao Jun's generals do if they can't recruit enough soldiers?I can only go to "catch the strong man"!

Many people who want to escape from "grabbing strong men" can only bid farewell to their homeland and hide in the mountains with tears in their eyes...

Although the conscription work is not going well, Cao Cao is in a very good mood recently.

Just because of his capable adviser, Xun Yu introduced him to a great talent——Guo Jia

This friend of Xun Yu's hometown found Xun Yu because he was short of money to drink, so he was recommended to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who was thirsty for talents, learned that Guo Jia was a great talent, and had a secret talk with him all night, very happy.

Since Guo Jia came, he gave Cao Cao many suggestions, most of which were opinions from some strong troops.Cao Cao readily accepted.

During this period, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia how to defeat the Wuling Army and Wu Shun!
Guo Jia's answer was that the Wuling army had won every battle, and they were proud of it. As long as the right medicine was prescribed, it would not be difficult to defeat the Wuling army.As for Wu Shun, in order to completely defeat him, he needs to destroy his foundation first.

After some discussion, Cao Cao discovered that Wu Shun's foundation was actually those common people whom he didn't pay much attention to!
The foundation of his Cao Cao is actually a gentry!Without the support of the gentry, Cao Cao would not have been able to develop to where he is today.

……

To figure out how to destroy Wu Shun's roots, Cao Cao called together his advisers, including the newcomer Guo Jia.

"Wu Shun's fame comes from the people of Yizhou. Can you find a way to make Wu Shun's reputation collapse in an instant?"

Cao Cao asked.

As long as Wu Shun's foundation is destroyed, the morale of the Wuling army will be in chaos.Then he can swing his troops westward and attack the Wuling army all the way.

"The fastest way to guide people's speech is to spread rumors!"

Guo Jia came out and said.

"Feng Xian, can you teach me a strategy?"

Seeing that Guo Jia has a way, Cao Cao said happily.

"My lord, the common people don't know much. Even if something is false, if there are many people talking about it, they will believe it to be true."

Guo Jia said.

"What does Feng Xian mean by sending people to Yizhou to spread rumors against Wu Shun?"

Cao Cao asked.

"Exactly! As long as the people in Yizhou lose their original respect for Wu Shun, Yizhou will become chaotic from within. There must be many big families in Yizhou who are willing to cooperate with us."

Guo Jia analyzed.

Yizhou is so big, some aristocratic families can't bear to give up their family business, and they will definitely swallow their anger to survive in Yizhou.If there is a chance to cause trouble for Wu Shun, they are very willing.

"It's good to create some trouble for Wu Shun. Let Fengxian arrange this matter first!"

Cao Cao ordered.

He is very fond of Guo Jia's talent, so he needs to give Guo Jia a chance to make contributions.

After taking the order, Guo Jia did not disappoint Cao Cao.Under Guo Jia's manipulation, Wu Shun's reputation plummeted in Yizhou.

There are rumors that Wu Shun ordered the massacre of Changsha City when he captured it, causing the Xiangjiang River to be stained red with blood.The end is brutal and inhumane.

There are also rumors that Wu Shun recruited refugees for the purpose of reclaiming wasteland, and would take them back after one or two years of care.Even if you don't take it back, you will be taxed heavily!
There are also rumors that...

There are many rumors against Wu Shun, and the people in Yizhou are confused.When a rumor or two first surfaced, Yizhou was indeed clouded with gloom.
