Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 675: Taiping is the time to study

"I do not go."

Xiahou Yuan's attitude was very firm, so Huang Zhong could only smack his lips regretfully.

He had once caught a glimpse of future wars through the light curtain in Gong'an County, so he had a clearer understanding of the great use of gunpowder.

From now on, the fortified city is no longer a support. The cavalry has the iron cavalry under the command of General Guan, and the infantry has the hundreds of iron statues brought by General Wu. What can they use to fight against Cao's bandits?

It would be better to submit to Lord Xuande early, so that the Han people can shed less blood.

It's a pity that General Xiahou didn't want to... Eh? Where's General Xiahou?

Huang Zhong stared at the collapsed city gate for a while, and when he turned around, he found that Xiahou Yuan was gone.

When he looked up again, he saw that the person in front of him who was talking to Wu Yi in a familiar manner was Xiahou Yuan. Who else could it be?
"Are you from Chang'an too?"

Wu Yi was a serious person, but he was unsure of what this General Xiahou was like, so he could only say vaguely:
“How come you see?”

With a chuckle, Xiahou Yuan pointed at some young men in front of the battle formation who were not dressed as soldiers and said:
"These are all students from the Imperial College. I saw them in Chang'an."

These young people held small notebooks and pens in their hands, pointing at the distant Wuyang City and taking notes quickly in the notebooks.

Xiahou Yuan suddenly felt a little nostalgic. When he was arguing with the common people outside the wall in the small courtyard of Chang'an, the common people had boasted to him that their families were originally common people but their children still entered the new Imperial College run by Uncle Liu.

At that time, he was lying on the wall and saw the son of the common people returning home after vacation. His attire was no different from those chattering people in front of him.

The explosions, loud noises and collapsed city walls that shocked them seemed commonplace to these students.

Although they were so close, Xiahou Yuan inexplicably felt as if there was an invisible and insurmountable wall between him and these students.

For a moment, Xiahou Yuan felt that there were many messy thoughts in his head, and he asked almost subconsciously:
"Now that the city gates have been breached, will General Wu take advantage of the situation to capture Wuyang?"

Wu Yi shook his head without looking away:
"I'm waiting for General Wuyang to come out of the city and surrender."

"Wuyang's commander Cao Ren is a veteran general and he won't surrender easily..."

"Then blow up another city gate."

Wu Yi answered lightly:
"When all four city gates collapse, Wuyang will be undefended. We still have more than a thousand crossbows. The enemy army will know what to do."

Xiahou Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment. This war was indeed not something he was familiar with.

Although his face was expressionless, Wu Yi also felt a sense of regret in his heart.

In just four years, the battles fought and the achievements made were far greater than those in the more than ten years under Liu Yan and Liu Zhang.

Twenty years ago, Dong Zhuo seized power, my uncle died, and the world was in chaos.

They fled from Chenliu with their family to Yizhou, thinking that they would witness the decline of the Han Dynasty here and live a mediocre life. But who could have imagined that twenty years later, they would be heading towards Chenliu again?

Moreover, this time he not only had a wise leader and elite soldiers, but also brought with him various advanced military weapons produced in Chang'an and Chengdu.

When he left Yanzhou, the world was in chaos. Now, Wu Yi is determined to fight back to Yanzhou and end this chaotic world for Lord Xuande!
"General Wu, is there any reinforcement in Wuyin?" The battle here was already decided, so Huang Zhong began to worry about other openings at the junction of Jing and Yu.

"Of course there are. When I arrived, Military Advisor Xu had already ordered Meng Huo and Wang Ping to lead 8,000 warriors. I think they should have achieved something by now."

"Wuyin is a dangerous place..."

Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At the junction of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, there are four mountains that separate three passes. The most dangerous of the three passes is Wuyin, a narrow and mountainous area with rivers and swamps. It is difficult for Cao's army to break in, but similarly it is also difficult for the Jingzhou army to fight back, so the situation is the most unclear.

Wu Yi burst into laughter: "Meng Huo and Wang Ping lead 8,000 southern barbarians, who love dangerous terrain the most!"

Especially since these 8,000 barbarians had been trained by him personally for two years, and many of them had followed him to conquer Yunnan. They were definitely tough soldiers who could pass through dense forests and hills as if they were walking on flat ground.

While Huang Zhong and Wu Yi were talking, Wang Ping found a high place and made a pergola with his hands, exclaiming:
"Oh, my god, it's so peaceful!"

Meng Huo immediately felt disgusted:

"Wang Zijun, when will you read more books?"

"The direction you are looking at is the direction of Runan in Yuzhou. It has been the essence of Yuzhou since ancient times and is the most suitable for farming."

Meng Huo couldn't help but miss the knowledgeable and sensible Mr. Zhongda. However, according to General Wu, Sima Zhongda couldn't bear to see the lack of etiquette and morality in Yunnan, so he stayed in Yunnan and was determined to educate the natives.

Meng Huo was deeply impressed by this great ambition, and he remembered that he would go to Yunnan to visit Mr. Zhongda after the war was over.

As for this Wang Ping in front of me, when I first heard his name, I thought he was a Han general with all the five virtues. But it turns out that he can't even recognize a single big word. What a waste of this courtesy name!

But we must admit that a general must be wise, trustworthy, benevolent, brave and strict. Wang Ping is not very wise, but as for bravery...

Recalling the time when Wang Ping led the charge to break through Cao's formation during the siege of Wuyin, Meng Huo suddenly felt a little worried. Could Wang Ping's bravery be entirely due to his illiteracy?
"I'm reading it. I'm reading it."

Wang Ping jumped down and waved his hands:
"Didn't the Champion Marquis say that if the Xiongnu wasn't dead, how could he find a wife?"

"So do I. When we help our uncle seize the position of prime minister from Cao Gou, and the world is at peace without the need for war, that will be plenty of time for us to study."

Meng Huo held his forehead with his hand, and then pointed out Wang Ping's problem accurately:

"Zijun is illiterate and can't even read the military doctor's manual. How can he be a general?"

Wang Ping looked down on him:
"The general has to think about leading the troops for a long time. Can he be as straightforward as me?"

Seeing that Meng Huo was speechless, Wang Ping simply continued to urge him:
"Now that we have defeated Cao's army, where should we go next?"

Meng Huo's eyebrows rose wildly:

"Were you not there when we were listening to Advisor Xu's instructions in Wancheng?"

"I can't remember many of the words."

"Prince Jun, why don't you consider leaving your Han nationality and become brothers with the barbarians in the south."

Sighing, Meng Huo once again confirmed his intention to visit Sima Zhongda after the war was over, and then waved:
"Now that we have lifted the siege, we should invite Generals Zhang Nan and Feng Xi to join us."

"Either go north to aid General Wu, or continue east to attack Shangcai and cut off the connection between Yingchuan and Runan."

Wang Ping jumped onto the boulder again, carefully took out the strange object called a telescope from the brocade bag in his arms, and looked towards the south:
“Why is there no option to go south?”

Meng Huo immediately felt disgusted:

"There's a chaotic fight going on in the south with several cavalry units. You don't even know how to ride a horse, and you still want to get involved?"

"But before I came here, I heard that General Zhang and General Zhao both have magic sword teams that can defeat cavalry in infantry combat..."

"Then wait until you have the Divine Sword Team. Our priority is to kill the bandit leader!"

"The battle of Runan Cavalry is extremely difficult, and it is not something you and I can worry about."

"How difficult can it be?" Wang Ping was dissatisfied as usual.
