Chapter 197: King Liu Wu issued an order, and the troops gathered together! Conquer Guanzhong!

Hefei City, the central military tent.

"General Gao! The King of Chu's order!"

A soldier hurried into the tent holding a bamboo slip.

shuh~
Gao Shun suddenly stood up, strode forward to take the bamboo slips, unfolded them and read them. There were only two lines of words on them: [Gao Shun, the governor of Jiujiang, is ordered to lead 5,000 knights to march west with the army to suppress the rebellion in Xiliang.]

The lord is going to take action against Guanzhong!
Gao Shun's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Liu Wu's idea of ​​sending troops to Guanzhong was not something he suddenly thought of in the past few days. He had already had this idea since Cao Cao was promised to go to fight Ma Chao that day.

After returning to Jingzhou, Liu Wu also mentioned this matter to several trusted generals, but the timing was never ripe. It was not until he was sure that both Cao Cao and Ma Chao had suffered heavy losses that he decided it was time to send troops.

Gao Shun has been waiting for this news these days...

After conquering southern Jing, the lord recommended himself to the court as the governor of Jiujiang, and stationed 10,000 soldiers in Hefei. Among these 10,000 soldiers, 5,000 were trained according to the standards of the Xianzhen Camp.

And everyone has a horse!
The lord used almost the entire Jingzhou's power to support this cavalry. The price paid for these war horses alone was extremely high, and the cost of money and food was unimaginable!
Other generals in the army had already expressed their dissatisfaction with this.

Gao Shun had been holding his breath, wanting to prove that his lord's choice was correct with a great victory.

right now,

This opportunity has finally come!

Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.

The lord has wasted huge sums of money, but whether he has raised an elite force or just a bunch of losers will soon be revealed.

"Prepare the horses! I am about to leave the city!"

Xilulu~
Outside the tent, Gao Shun jumped on his horse and rushed out of the military camp.

They rode non-stop all the way, crossing the entire city of Hefei and rushing out of the city.

Boom! ~
Somewhere outside Hefei,

People shouted and horses neighed, thousands of war horses galloped wildly,
The iron hooves struck the ground, shaking the earth, as if a violent storm was raging on the earth.

A cloud of yellow dust, like a dragon or a snake, covered the sky and rushed towards Hefei city with a roar.

Gao Shun stood outside the city of Hefei without moving.
He watched the cavalry rushing towards him, getting closer and closer.

at last,

The speed of the vanguard cavalry began to slow down and gradually stopped fifty steps away from Gao Shun.

The yellow dust dissipated,

Five thousand cavalrymen, like a dark cloud, pressed down in front of Gao Shun.

Wow! ~
Gao Shun suddenly raised the bamboo slips in his hand and shouted: "Military Order of the King of Chu..."

"Order Jiujiang Governor Gao Shun to lead 5,000 knights to march west with the army to suppress the rebellion in Xiliang!"

“Move out!!”

……

Lujiang City,
The lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion.

"The King of Chu has issued an order to order the Lujiang Governor Mi Fang to accompany the King on the Western Expedition to Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion in Xiliang! Go as soon as the order arrives."

"Mi Fang received the order."

After seeing off the messenger who delivered the royal decree, Mi Fang was at a loss as he held the bamboo slips in his hands.

I am neither a famous general nor a strategist. What is the point of me accompanying my lord on such an important event as the conquest of Guanzhong?
Even if he needed to allocate food and fodder for the army, his elder brother Mi Zhu was there, so how could it be his turn?

Mi Fang couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter. Since Wang's order had been issued, there was no room for bargaining...

Today's Liu Wu is no longer the eldest son of Emperor Liu. He is the Governor of Jingzhou, a direct descendant of the royal family, the emperor's brother, and the King of Chu of the Han Dynasty!

Sometimes, Mi Fang really felt that all this was like a dream.

Liu Xuande worked hard for most of his life, but in the end he was only given the title of the emperor's uncle, the honorary positions of Left General, Governor of Yuzhou, and the title of Marquis of Yichengting.

In less than a year, Liu Wu became the emperor's brother and the King of Chu of Han.

The ancestor that Liu Xuande was proud of, King Jing of Zhongshan, was just a prince. To be honest, Liu Wu's title of king was a title of a great country, far better than that of Liu Xuande's ancestors!

Thinking of this, Mi Fang could only admire his elder brother's decisiveness in switching to Liu Wu.

A chief clerk asked carefully, "County Governor, the King of Chu's order is too urgent. Should we ask the King of Chu to delay it for a day to clean up..."

"Ridiculous!" Mi Fang shouted, "Wang Ling, we must obey your orders immediately. How can you refuse?"

Half an hour later,

Mi Fang brought only a few dozen followers with him, and rode out of Luyang City, galloping towards Xiling...

……

Wuling County,
Somewhere in the mountains,

"kill!!"

Shouts of killing were heard all over the mountains and plains.

Countless soldiers, with white feathers on their helmets and holding large shields and short spears, came from all directions.

It is like a bear or tiger in the mountains, with amazing momentum.

They walk on mountains, forests, hills and rocks as if they were on flat ground; they climb mountains and wade through water without fear of danger.
They fought against the enemy in the mountains and were invincible. They were truly elite and brave soldiers!

Chen Dao, who was standing high above, was watching everything in front of him with satisfaction...

After Chen Dao arrived in Wuling with 5,000 soldiers, he handed over all county affairs to Ma Liang. He kept Liu Wu's instructions in mind and recruited another 5,000 Wuling barbarians.

These ten thousand people trained day and night, mingling in the mountains and forests, and after so many days, they have achieved considerable results.

It is no exaggeration to call it the strongest army in the world!
It's just a pity...

My military training has been quite effective, but my lord cannot see it for the time being.

When Chen Dao was secretly feeling sorry for himself, Ma Liang rode his horse to the front of Chen Dao and said, "General! General Shuzhi!"

"Military orders from the King of Chu!"

Ma Liang got off his horse, ran to Chen Dao breathlessly, and handed him a scroll of bamboo slips: "The King of Chu will send troops to the west..."

Send troops to the west?

Chen Dao's eyes lit up. Could it be that his chance to lead his troops and achieve merit had come?

He took the bamboo slips and unfolded them to read.

Ma Liang wiped his sweat and told Chen Dao the contents of the letter: "Ma Chao and Han Sui from Xiliang are wreaking havoc in Guanzhong. Cao Cao has been unable to defeat them in battle. The lord has therefore sent troops to Guanzhong to serve the country with loyalty..."

"I order Lujiang governor Mi Fang to go with the army, Liang to temporarily serve as Lujiang governor and govern Lujiang County, and I order General Shu Zhi to lead the White Ear soldiers north to Xiling and follow the army on the western expedition."

The time has finally come for me to make achievements!

wow~
Chen Dao slammed the bamboo slips shut, his face flushed.

Since joining Liu Wu's army, he has not achieved any success except training troops.

Now that I have successfully trained my troops, the opportunity to make achievements has finally arrived...

He gave the order without hesitation: "Beat the drums, assemble the troops! Set out to Xiling!"

dong dong dong~
On that day, outside Wuling City, the generals gathered and beat drums.

Wuling Prefect Chen Dao led 10,000 White-eared soldiers out of Wuling and headed north to Xiling!
……

Xiling City, parade ground camp.

"prick!"

"prick!"

"prick!"

The Shanyue were divided into two armies, the left and the right, each army had 5,000 men. At this time, 10,000 Shanyue soldiers were training with bare upper bodies, holding spears, and sweating profusely.

The cold tip of the gun stabbed out and retracted dully again and again.

They have gone from being anxious and impatient at first to now seriously firing shots after shots, and have long been accustomed to it all.

After experiencing several major battles, most of the Shanyue soldiers have figured it out. If they train harder, they will have a better chance of survival on the battlefield.

As for those who don’t understand…

He had already died on the battlefield.

The spirit of brute bravery still exists, but the strict military laws are deeply engraved in their minds. After experiencing the baptism of several major battles, they have been beaten into a powerful army!
dong dong dong~
The sound of low drums suddenly rang out on the parade ground.

Is this the sound of the army gathering drums?
what happened?

All training was stopped and the Shanyue soldiers were confused. Are they going to fight again?
Da Da Da~
A figure on horseback came flying over, shouting in the air: "Assemble the left and right camps, prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!"

The Shanyue people of Xilingcheng were very familiar with that figure.

It was Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, who trained all the Shanyue people!
Gan Xingba rushed back to Xiling before Liu Wu.

Before he entered the camp, he had already ordered his personal guards to go into the camp in the mountains and beat drums to gather the troops!
Xilulu~
In front of the big tent, Gan Ning dismounted from his horse with excitement on his face.

He hasn't fought a serious battle since the Battle of Jingnan.

During the Battle of Xiangfan, although he forced Yu Jin to surrender, it was just a beating for the fallen dog. He still joined forces with Wei Yan and shared the credit.

On the Han River, Gan Ning also fought with Xu Huang, but in the end Liu Wu and Sun Quan scared Xu Huang away, and in the end it was Zhao Zilong who captured Xu Huang alive, so he had nothing to do with the credit.

He thought that after sending his former master Sun Quan back to Jiangdong, they could have a good fight, but in the end, those Jiangdong noble families just knelt down, which made Gan Ning very uncomfortable.

Now, I can finally fight a real battle!
There were also captains who were unaware of the situation and saluted Gan Ning in surprise: "General Gan, what is this drum sound..."

Gan Ning rushed into the tent without looking back: "My lord is going to attack Guanzhong, we will follow the army, quickly prepare the weapons and supplies!"

……

Wow! ~
Outside Xiling City, the mighty Jingzhou navy finally returned to Xiling.

Almost crowded along the Xiling River,
The dark mass of Danyang troops stood at the bow of the ship but did not disembark.

Only Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci and other generals surrounded Liu Wu, got off the boat, changed horses, and headed straight for Xiling City.

Xilulu! ~
Liu Wu and his party dismounted outside the county magistrate's mansion and strode into the mansion. Liu Wu had a lot of things to do and many people to meet.

I don't know how my uncle is doing...

"My lord!" Lu Xun came hurriedly. He did not bother to greet Liu Wu and presented a bamboo slip to Liu Wu: "Expressed from Xuchang, 800 miles away, a letter written by the emperor himself!!"

　There is one more chapter that will be later, I will try to finish it before one o'clock.
