Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 644
When Wu Shun arrived at Hulao Pass, he received news from Heiyiwei from Hebei.

"Yuan Shao actually dispatched troops!"

This news is not good. Although Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao, it does not mean that Hebei's troops are weak.

"My lord, the soldiers of Hebei, the last general will be able to block them with one force!"

Zhang Xiu originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect the Wuling Army to march again so soon!
Last year, Yuan Tan attacked the Hulao, Zhang Xiu always remembered it!

"Now that Yuan Jun wants to make a move, Hulao Pass must leave a strong army! Otherwise, the rear of Zhongmou Changsha will be unstable."

Xu Shu analyzed.

In this expedition, Xu Shu, the left military adviser, accompanied the army, while Zhuge Liang, the former military adviser, took care of everything in Chengdu.With Zhuge Liang in the rear, Wu Shun dared to fight in front with confidence.

"Yuan Zhi is right. We want an elite team here. How about it, the White Tiger Army will temporarily enter Sishui Pass!"

Wu Shun said.

"Brother, I want to fight with you!"

Zhang Xiong was a little reluctant.

Although half of his White Tiger Legion are recruits, these recruits are also the best among the county soldiers.As long as the actual combat is over, running-in will not be a problem.

"Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass are of great importance, and it must be done by the Second General."

Xu Shu said.

"Military Master, you are serious. As far as the soldiers of Yuan Shao in Hebei are concerned, General Zhang Xiu is enough."

Zhang Xiong said.

He thought that Yuan Jun's strength was average, and with Zhang Xiu around, there would be no problems.

"Second General, if Yuan Jun's strength is average, after defeating him, he can march into Hebei..."

Xu Shu winked at Zhang Xiong, Zhang Xiong understood in seconds.

That means that if Yuan Jun attacks, Zhang Xiong can chase him to Hebei.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, if the Wuling Army can occupy one or two strongholds, it will be very important for future strategies.

This is why Xu Shu said that Zhang Xiong should be in charge here.

If it's just for defense, Zhang Xiu is really enough. If it's just in case, adding Zhao Yun is completely enough.

In this expedition, the Kirin Legion stayed inside Yizhou, and only 2000 Zhao Yun Qilin Cavalry went out with the army.

"Brother, don't worry, my White Tiger Legion is here, as long as Yuan Shao dares to come, he will definitely not be allowed to go back."

After being reminded, Zhang Xiong no longer has any complaints about staying at Sishuiguan.On the contrary, he kind of hoped that Yuan Jun would come over.

"Okay, since that's the case, the White Tiger Legion will immediately enter Sishui Pass, and the safety of our army's rear will be entrusted to you guys."

Wu Shun looked at Zhang Xiong, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu and Zhou Cang.

"I will live up to the expectations of my elder brother/lord!"

The four promised together.

Leaving behind Zhang Xiong's White Tiger Army, Wu Shun immediately rushed to Changsha without stopping.

The Wuling army came out of Yizhou, and the news must not be hidden.Presumably at this time, Cao Jun has already made preparations.

Wu Shun had a purpose in sending troops this time.That is to further compress the control range of Cao Jun's forces and weaken their power again.

As for the emperor in Xudu, Wu Shun doesn't want it!

Although Emperor Xian was a puppet, he never gave up fighting.Wu Shun is not Cao Cao, he can tolerate so many little tricks.

The idea of ​​coercing the emperor to order the princes is suitable for Cao Cao, but not for Wu Shun.

According to the tradition of the Wuling Army, no matter what their reputation is, they like to rely on their own strength to fight and grab!
In the past, the scramble was for a better life, but now the vision is bigger and bigger, for the purpose of unifying the world!
Now the Wuling army is absolutely stronger than the rest of the world, and it is almost rare to meet an opponent.Didn't you see that when the Wuling army moved, Cao Cao pulled allies everywhere?
In today's Yizhou, no prince can deal with it alone.

As Yizhou became stronger and stronger, the ideals of the soldiers of the Wuling Army naturally changed.

……

Outside Changshe City, in the big camp last year, in addition to Liu Bei's garrison, Cao Jun also sent a vanguard army over.

It won't take long for this place to return to its "heyday" state on the eve of last year's General War.

Yizhou's accumulation is rich enough, although Wu Shun's non-stop battles, he still hasn't exhausted Yizhou's massive reserves.

But on Cao Cao's side, military rations have become a problem.

It is only April now, and the dealer has only planted it, which is far from the time to defend the city.Cao Cao originally thought that Wu Shun would fight with him first, and then send troops to the Nanman after returning, so food and grass should be in urgent need.

But I don't want Yizhou to have such a rich heritage!
Wu Shun wanted to fight, but Cao Cao had no choice but to accompany him. He even invited Yuan Shao to accompany him.No matter how difficult the Wuling army is, Cao Cao will send troops.

As for the headache of military rations, Cao Cao directly threw it to Chen Yu, a capable adviser.

And Chen Yu did not disappoint Cao Cao, and the grain and grass were delivered to the front line in batches.It is guaranteed that Cao Jun can have food to eat.

The Wuling army took the initiative to fight, divided into upper, middle and lower, and marched in three ways!
On the road, Wu Shun personally led the army and competed with Cao Cao in the Xudu area of ​​Changshe!

In the middle of the road, Dongfang led the Suzaku Army, and Huang Quan led the county soldiers, preparing to attack Jingzhou.

Going down the road, Gan Ning and Shi Zhongyu lead the Flood Dragon Fleet, and the Canglang Legion moves both land and water to oppress Liu Biao.

In fact, there is a fourth army, that is, the Jiangdong Army led by Sun Ce, which put pressure on Jingzhou in the Jiangxia area, and distributed part of the pressure from Dongfang Qiang and Gan Ning.

It's just that Sun Ce's journey does not belong to Wu Shun's command.

Throughout April, the two sides were in a state of confrontation and tentativeness, no major battles took place, and small-scale collisions never stopped.

The confrontation between the scouts was even more tragic. Today the Wuling Army wiped out the Cao Jun scout squad, and tomorrow the Cao Jun scouts ambushed...

In short, in places that people don't know, a series of tragic fights are going on in secret.

In May, the breath of war is coming!

All the soldiers could feel the restlessness in the air.

The big battle finally started at the beginning of this month!
Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Jun, led Yuan Jun's elite to attack Hulao Pass at night, but he couldn't do it!

Generals Zhang Xiong and Huang Zhong of the Wuling Army led the troops into battle and killed Yuan's army.

The White Tiger Army chased them all the way to the bank of the Yellow River before stopping!
They don't have a ferry and can't catch up!
"Yan Liang, you wait! Sooner or later I will fight to the north!"

Facing the ferry going away, Zhang Xiong roared angrily!

On the ferry, Yan Liang, a famous Hebei general, had a gloomy expression and didn't know what he was thinking.The raid failed because the Wuling Army's defense was too strong.

The army under Zhang Xiu's command was tough and brave, resisting tenaciously, and Zhang Xiong rescued from Sishui Pass.

Yan Liang's defeat was not wronged!

After this battle, kicked off the prelude to the whole war!In mid-May, Wu Shun fought with Cao Cao and Liu Bei outside the city of Changshe. The two sides fought for two days and nights, regardless of the outcome!

Dongfang Qiang left Yidu County and marched into Jingzhou, where he encountered the army of Jingzhou and Cao Ren, the general of the Cao army.The two sides are attacking and defending each other, temporarily falling into a confrontation.

And on Dongting Lake, the Jiaolong Fleet beat the Jingzhou navy so hard that they dared not fight, so they could only guard the water stronghold!
The Canglang Legion has crossed the mountains and ridges, and has secretly gone to the interior of Jingzhou!
Since parting with Gan Ning, no one knows where Shi Zhongyu took the [-] troops.

Seeing that the guards in black couldn't find any trace of the Canglang Army, an elite group of the Wuling Army suddenly disappeared on the three major battlefields.It attracted Cao Cao's side, and people panicked...
