Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 132 Keeping a low profile, Han Wu sends troops
When he came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Wu saw that all the generals and his advisers had assembled, so he knew that the sudden incident was not small.

Han Fu sat on the honored seat, took a deep breath, and said, "Wu'er, look at the battle report from the north. The situation is not very good."

Han Wu handed Han Wu a bamboo slip that looked a bit broken, and asked him to take a look at the situation on it.

Han Wu took the bamboo slips and read them, nodded slightly, not in a hurry.

This situation is completely within Han Wu's expectations, and he is already ready to send troops this year.

Han Wu said: "Father, Gongsun Zan suddenly sent troops to attack Jizhou, which is expected."

"The loss of Dai County is nothing to worry about. After all, Dai County does not belong to Jizhou. Most of Zhuo County has also been captured, and the impact is not too big."

"Youzhou's troops are mainly in the direction of Zhuojun, and Bohai County is very safe. As long as Bohai County is not lost, Gongsun Zan will not be worried."

Analyzing the battle situation confidently, Han Wu's self-confidence made the generals under his command even more confident.

Ju Shou also responded at this time: "What you said is very true. Now our Jizhou is rich and prosperous, and my lord can be called the number one prince in the north."

"Although the development of Bingzhou still needs a few years, with last year's bumper harvest, we have enough food and grass to attack Youzhou."

"One year's tax revenue in the vicinity of Yecheng is enough to pay the military salary, so we don't have to worry about Gongsun Zan's harassment at all."

Guo Jia also smiled slightly, and said: "What Gong Yu said is very true. We have been hiding our strengths and biding our time for more than a year now, and we are not afraid of Gongsun Zan at all."

"It's just that we also need to be careful of Cao Jun in the Sili area. They have also developed a lot this year."

"And Cao Cao must have been coveting the Hetao area all the time. Once we send troops, Cao Cao is likely to come and harass."

After Xun You heard Guo Jia's doubts, he smiled slightly and understood that Guo Jia was playing hard to get.

He obviously has a way to deal with Cao Cao, but he just wants to make Cao Cao very troublesome and not easy to deal with.

Han Wu glanced at Guo Jia, and he immediately understood what Guo Jia wanted to say next.

Han Wu nodded lightly, and said, "Then let Lu Yi deliver a letter to Lu Bu in Pengcheng, asking him to help keep an eye on Cao Jun in Yanzhou."

"As long as Lu Bu is willing to send troops to harass Yanzhou, then Cao Cao will not be able to send many troops to attack Hetao."

"Let's lead the Jizhou Army directly to the north, cooperate with General Qu Yi and General Xu Rong's trilogy, and take Youzhou in one fell swoop!"

When the generals heard that Mr. Han had a perfect plan, they were all more at ease.

This is exactly what Guo Jia thought of as a countermeasure!
But no one thought of Qingzhou Yuan Shao, because this guy's self-protection has become a big problem now.

Meng Gong and Pan Feng continued to harass the northern part of Qingzhou, so although Yuan Shao would not lose his land, he also had no intention of developing.

Since Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from Xuzhou, Kong Rong sent his generals to counterattack Qingzhou.

Relying on the abundance of food and grass in Xuzhou, Kong Rong fought a war of attrition with Yuan Jun in southern Qingzhou.

Han Fu sighed. He originally had a few more years to develop, but he didn't expect to send troops.

Although it is not possible for Han Fu to go on an expedition in person, what he is worried about is that once a battle breaks out, Jizhou will consume too much.

As soon as the gun is fired, ten thousand taels of gold!

Even if the era of cold weapons is not enough to achieve the real consumption of [-] taels of gold, it is still a big expense.

Although Han Fu was worried, he had no reason to stop Han Wu.

Now the people of Jizhou have no worries about food and clothing, which is enough to support the war, and Han Fu can only agree to Han Wu's sending troops.

Seeing that his father didn't stop him, he took a deep breath and faced the counselors and generals.

"Dian Wei listened to the order. Ten days later, gather the first and second battalions of the Bloodthirsty Tiger Guards and march to Zhongshan County ahead of schedule."

"Zhu Ling Lu Xiang, assemble Jizhou recruits, dispatch [-] elite infantry and [-] Jizhou recruits, and follow me to Zhongshan County in [-] days."

"Guo Jia, this time you will go out with me, as our army's military advisor, and advise me."

Han Wu issued the general order, and the plan was perfect, so that all the generals were dissatisfied.

Seeing that his son had such prestige in the army, Han Fu smiled with satisfaction, stood up and returned to the inner hall.

The other generals went out one after another to dispatch troops, only Guo Jia and Xun You stayed behind.

Han Wu wanted to discuss with them the plan to attack Youzhou, and this time he would spend all his money to defeat Gongsun Zan.

Once Youzhou is also included under his command, Han Wu will be the largest prince in the north, and his army is powerful enough to frighten the entire north.

Even if Cao Cao is in control of the Son of Heaven, he is not enough to be an enemy of himself, he can only deal in secret.

Moreover, once Han Wu takes Youzhou, he will have enough coastal towns to develop a navy, which is the top priority in the next step.

Han Wu is well aware of the importance of the navy. Although the navy may not be used in the northern war, he must prepare in advance.

Sooner or later, Han Wu will lead his troops to the Jiangnan area, so naturally he can't train the navy at that time.

And whether it is Qingzhou or Xuzhou, most of the land is close to the sea.

As long as the navy is strong enough, this is Han Wu's strange army!
Fifteen days later, Han Wu and Hua Mulan put on their battle armors and prepared to leave Yecheng for an expedition.

Su Xiaoxiao was about to give birth, but Han Wu couldn't be by her side.

To Han Wu's relief, Cai Wenji, who was keeping a filial piety, took off her filial piety and took care of all the affairs in Hexiang Beiyuan.

At the same time, Cai Wenji also set an example, asking the maids to invite Mrs. Wen to be ready to deliver Su Xiaoxiao at any time.

With Cai Wenji helping him take care of the rear, Han Wu can go out with confidence.

Riding his horse to leave Yecheng, Han Wu still took advantage of the twilight of the morning and led his troops to Zhongshan County.

The bloodthirsty tiger guards have already gone to Zhongshan County in advance, and Han Wu is leading Jizhou recruits and elite veterans.

All of them were light infantry, so they marched much faster, and entered the territory of Zhongshan County in two days.

At noon on the third day, Han Wu led his troops to the county seat of Zhongshan County and rested in the county captain's mansion inside.

Both Qu Yi and Xu Rong rushed to Zhongshan County to wait for orders in advance, and they were very low-key.

For Qu Yi, he lost most of Zhuo County, which is a shameful thing.

Han Wu didn't blame him, which made Qu Yi's self-esteem suffer a little setback.

But Han Wu knew Qu Yi very well. If he blamed Qu Yi because of Zhuojun, he would definitely feel disgusted with him.

Zhuo County was originally the land that Qu Yi had made great contributions to, even if he lost it, his merits and demerits would be considered equal.

If he blamed Qu Yi because of this time, he would definitely feel dissatisfied and affect his loyalty.

Han Wu sat on the seat, looked at Xu Rong and Qu Yi who were on standby, and took a deep breath.

Han Wu said: "We are very satisfied that you were able to conquer so much land in Zhuo County in Youzhou."

"General Qu Yi has meritorious service, but he will be rewarded after defeating Gongsun Zan."

"General Xu Rong's defense of Bohai County is solid, and he should be rewarded. If he is successful in attacking Youzhou this time, he will be rewarded!"

When Qu Yi and Xu Rong heard that Mr. Han didn't care about the loss of most of Zhuozhou, but encouraged them to make meritorious deeds, they were very excited.
