Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 781 After the War
When the fighting in Xuzhou City completely subsided, it was already night.Wu Shun waited for the return of the generals in Liu Bei's Governor's Mansion.

Liu Bei is dead, Wu Shun has removed a major enemy, and now Cao Cao is the only one who can make him cautious.

With the current strength of the Wuling army, they can take advantage of the situation and press down on Qingzhou, but they have occupied a place and need to digest it first.

Xuzhou was already rich, but it was only affected by the flames of war. However, with Liu Bei's previous efforts, Xuzhou as a whole is moving towards the good side.

After a series of reform measures in Yizhou were moved in, Xuzhou should develop qualitatively.

"My lord, Xuzhou City has been captured, it's time to discuss with Jiangdong."

Xu Shu said.

Before the alliance with Jiangdong, after the capture of Xuzhou, each will have half.This territory needs to be divided, and now is the time.

Later, there will inevitably be various changes.

"Tomorrow, Zhou Yu will be invited to come over to discuss, and tonight we should discuss our army's future plans," Wu Shun said.

Xuzhou was captured, and half of the year has passed. Now the Wuling Army's opponents are Cao Cao and the Yuan family, so it is necessary to formulate a more detailed plan.

"My lord is right. Our Wuling army needs a plan, such as continuing to fight and taking advantage of the situation to enter Qingzhou, or stopping the war and digesting Xuzhou."

Guo Jia said.

He very much agrees with Wu Shun's statement.

"After nearly half a year of fighting, the army is exhausted, and it is not suitable to continue to fight Cao Cao." Fazheng analyzed.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, the Wuling Army first fought a battle with Jiangdong. After the two sides reconciled, they immediately changed direction and invaded Xuzhou.It's been a war since the beginning of the year.The generals and soldiers of the Wuling Army are all warlike and brave, but they are all human beings after all, so they will get tired.

"Now Cao Cao is shrunk to Qingzhou, hoarding a lot of food and grass, and recruiting a lot of soldiers. We shouldn't give Cao Cao a chance to come back."

Guo Jia said.

There is a chance to destroy the enemy, Guo Jia thinks that there is no need to think too much.Even if attacking Qingzhou will lengthen the front line, as long as Cao Cao can be attacked and Yizhou will benefit, some losses are acceptable.

There were differences of opinion among the military divisions, and what both of them said made sense, the key depended on how Wu Shun made his decision.

Xu Shu, Fazheng, and Guo Jia all looked at Wu Shun, waiting for Wu Shun's final decision.

"Don't enter Qingzhou for the time being, first manage Xuzhou well, and when Xuzhou has completely become the rear, then consider a decisive battle with Cao Cao."

Wu Shun said.

Having reached such a point, Wu Shun is no longer in a hurry. It is Cao Cao who should be in a hurry, and maybe Sun Quan.

There are so many capable people in Yizhou, so the governance of Xuzhou is naturally no problem.

Wu Shun did not intend to attack, there are several considerations.

One is that the soldiers of the Wuling Army were indeed exhausted after years of enlistment.

The second is that the land in Xuzhou is fertile. If it is not managed and used, it will be wasteful.

The third is that Jiangdong is watching covetously, and Wu Shun is not at ease to fight Cao Cao.Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, and Jiang Dong's ambitions are still quite big. Those who should be vigilant, still need to be vigilant.

"My lord is wise!" the three of them clasped their hands together.

It is a good thing not to rush for success.

They were also afraid that Wu Shun would become very ambitious and directly ordered the invasion of Qingzhou.In fact, Guo Jia's proposal to continue the war also has a premise, that is, to leave a great talent and govern Xuzhou well.

"No need to flatter, is there a suitable candidate for the position of Xuzhou Mu?" Wu Shun asked.

Governance needs talents, and Wu Shun is asking who is suitable to be the Xuzhou pastor in Yizhou.

"My lord, if you ask me, there is really someone I can recommend." Xu Shu said.

"Who?" Wu Shun asked.

"Mi Zhu!" Xu Shu said.

"Mi Zhu? It's okay, but now he is in Hebei. Let him be the Xuzhou shepherd, which will be harmful to his actions." Wu Shun said.

Mi Zhu is a big merchant in Xuzhou. If he can become a state shepherd in Wu Shun's hands, he will have great guiding power to the merchants all over the world.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have the lowest social status. Although they are rich, their status is very embarrassing.

If you can become an official, it will be different. The status will be raised directly, which is a very face-lifting thing.

"My lord, how is Changsha prefect Pang Tong?" Fazheng asked.

Pang Tong's ability is extremely strong in Yizhou. He just went to Changsha County, and within a month he got rid of the ills. Today's Changsha County is completely new.

This kind of talent, to be a prefect, is really inferior!

When Pang Tong was mentioned, Wu Shun's eyes lit up, Pang Tong is good, that is Fengchu, as long as he is given enough authority, he will not worry about Xuzhou's poor governance.

However, Xuzhou is a newly established territory, which requires a certain amount of force to suppress, so Wu Shun thinks it is better to use military generals as the candidate for the state shepherd.

After all, Xuzhou became a part of Yizhou, and it became the frontier of the war in an instant, requiring troops to be stationed.

"Shi Yuan is very talented, so he is the right candidate. However, Xuzhou is a strategically important place and needs a large army to garrison. My idea is that if a general is appointed as the governor of the state, his army will be stationed here. At the same time, Shi Yuan will be transferred to govern. "

Wu Shun said.

"It's possible!" Xu Shu said.

"My lord, which general is suitable?" Guo Jia asked.

"My lord, if you want to choose one of the generals, I recommend General Dongfang." Fazheng said.

Dongfang Qiang, the leader of the Zhuque Legion of the Wuling Army, has not been defeated since he followed Wu Shun in the battle, and has the reputation of an undefeated general in the army.

"Haha, I also think Dongfang can do it." Wu Shun said with a smile.

Among the generals in the first team, there are quite a few who can be state shepherds, but the one who reassures Wu Shun the most is Dongfang Qiang.

This general who climbed up from the soldiers step by step, loyalty is not a problem, and he is extremely hardworking and studious. Except for force, he is improving almost every day.

Let him be the Xuzhou Mu, Wu Shun is relieved.

……

The generals didn't keep Wu Shun and the others waiting for long, and they all came back after dark.Seeing the smiling faces of the generals, Wu Shun was also in a good mood.

"Everyone, are you satisfied with the harvest?"

After all the generals under his command arrived, Wu Shun asked.

"Haha, I'm naturally very satisfied with the capture of Xuzhou." Wei Yan replied first.

"Wen Chang, Cao's army is [-], how many are left to escape?" Wu Shun asked.

He arranged for the Qinglong chasing army to kill Cao Jun. The [-] army was dispatched, and the harvest should be quite good.

Sure enough, when Wu Shun asked this, he felt happy in distress: "My lord, the last general led troops to kill more than [-] Cao's troops, and finally Cao Hong led the remnants to escape."

"Very good. Once in Xuzhou, 3 people are less than [-]. Cao Cao's expression must be very exciting. This time, the Azure Dragon Army did a good job, and it should be a great achievement." Wu Shun praised.

Wu Shun never hesitated to praise the soldiers under his command.

"Thank you, my lord!" Wei Yan said happily.

"Second brother, have you wiped out the remaining enemies in the city?" Wu Shun asked Zhang Xiong.

After the war, the White Tiger Legion was responsible for cleaning up the defeated Xuzhou army who were stubbornly resisting in Xuzhou City.

"Brother, we have finished clearing everything up, but I haven't let go of a single alley." Zhang Xiong said proudly.

"Okay, the White Tiger Army, as the main force to attack the city, has made great contributions in this battle, and we can consider expanding it!" Wu Shun said.

"Expansion? Brother, are you serious?" Zhang Xiong asked Wu Shun again to confirm in surprise.
