Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 511 The direction of Yizhou

Cai Mao wanted to leave at this time, but Yan Yan refused.Wei Yan and Zhao Yun are eager to make contributions, let alone agree.

Cai Mao ordered the troops to retreat, and the Jingzhou soldiers scattered one by one, completely out of order.The soldiers just ran back on their own.After discovering that there were Wuling Army cavalry behind, they hurriedly fled to both sides.

Cai Mao's order, at this time, has no effect.

"Soldiers of the Kirin Legion, chase after them!"

Yan Yan ordered the pursuit, and the soldiers who rushed out from Yidao County covered up and killed them.Chase the Jingzhou army.

Since Wei Yan and Zhao Yun were outside the city, it was impossible for the Jingzhou army to retreat safely.

Zhao Yun was the fastest to kill through the Jingzhou army crowd, and gathered together with the Qilin army soldiers who went out of the city to kill the enemy.

"The general is mighty!"

Looking at the majestic Zhao Yun, the soldiers of the Kirin Legion were honored.

"The Qilin Legion belongs to fight the enemy bravely, soldiers, go!"

Zhao Yun ordered.

The commander gave the order, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high.Run faster.

"Fortunately, the general rushed back in time, otherwise the general of Yidao County might not be able to hold on."

Yan Yan came to Zhao Yun's side and fought side by side with Zhao Yun.

"General Yan is humble. The general can only do nothing but Cai Mao, what a shame! Hangu Pass has been taken back, now is the time to drive Cai Mao back to Xiangyang."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he drew his gun and went to battle!Yan Yan had to say a few more words of humility, but seeing that Zhao Yun didn't listen, she had no choice but to follow and kill the enemy.

Killing the enemy now is the most important thing, other things can be discussed after the war.

The Qilin Legion was chasing the enemy, and the Azure Dragon Cavalry did not fall behind.They are all cavalry, and their killing speed is much faster than that of the Qilin Legion, which is mostly infantry.

"Haha, soldiers! Hurry up, the brothers from the Qilin Legion will come over in a while, just leave them some soup."

Wei Yan laughed loudly.

He didn't expect the battle in Yidao County to be so simple.Cai Mao overestimated himself. When attacking the city, the rear didn't let out the scouts.Qinglong Cavalry and Qilin Cavalry easily appeared behind him, and a single charge disrupted the Jingzhou Army's arrangement.

Now the defeated army in Jingzhou has formed a rout and fled, with no combat effectiveness at all.The Wuling army can chase and kill as much as they want.

Wu Shun did not personally participate in the battle in Yidu County.After passing through Hanzhong by way, after meeting Xu Shu, he went straight back to Chengdu.

For the generals under his command, Wu Shun is [-] rest assured.If both Zhao Yun and Wei Yan can't defeat Cai Mao, then Yizhou simply withdraws from the sequence of fighting for world hegemony.

The battle in Yidu County was almost the same as Wu Shun expected.

Cai Mao was attacked by the Wuling army and fled in embarrassment.Zhao Yun and Wei Yan pursued closely, and Jingzhou fled directly back to the range of Jingzhou.After the Wuling army flaunted their might in Jingzhou, they retreated safely.

After returning to Chengdu, Wu Shun called Zhuge Liang and Fazheng, and the three wanted to discuss Yizhou's foreign strategy.

The current situation in Yizhou is very bad. Although the Wuling army fought back Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's allied forces, they also beat away Liu Biao who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

However, the situation in Yizhou has not only not improved, but has become more dangerous.It can be said to be the enemy of the whole world!

"Kong Ming, Xiao Zhi, you two have already known my intentions. Now that Yizhou is in this situation, the only way to laugh at the end is to strive for self-improvement. The east of Yizhou is the enemy, how should we break the situation?"

The current situation is very unfavorable to Yizhou, Wu Shun is eager to find a way to break the natural situation.

Otherwise, it would be bad for Cao Cao or Yuan Shao to form a coalition again.

Back then, when the nineteen princes challenged Dong, although they did not directly defeat Dong Zhuo, they also accelerated Dong Zhuo's demise.Wu Shun didn't want to get mixed up to the point where everyone shouted and beat him.

"My lord, Yizhou is rich in products and can be self-sufficient. The most important thing is to strengthen the military. Only by being strong can we be invincible!"

Zhuge Liang said.

"Kong Ming is right. With Yizhou's financial and material resources, can we raise another [-] elite soldiers?"

Wu Shun's eyes flickered with seriousness.If one hundred thousand more elite soldiers can be added, Wu Shun will not be afraid of anyone.Even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao united again, he would dare to fight.Burn the flames of war beyond Hangu Pass.

Unlike Dong Zhuo, Wu Shun went to please the gentry after occupying Luoyang.At the beginning, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the gentry was okay.It's just that the soldiers were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's arbitrariness and monopolization of power, which violated the interests of the gentry.So it was opposed by the gentry.

Now Wu Shun's attitude towards the gentry is that those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish.Opposed by the gentry, that's for sure.So Wu Shun had to think carefully about every step he took.

After leaving Hangu Pass, almost no city was to be captured by force.It is almost impossible for the enemy to open the city and surrender.Outside of Hangu Pass, those in power and in charge of soldiers are all from the gentry.

Considering that it will be difficult to expand the territory in the future, Wu Shun thinks that the most direct way is to increase the number of troops.After the battle with Yuan Cao's allied forces, he deeply felt that the number of soldiers was too small, and the Wuling army suffered a great loss in the decisive battle of the large army.

Hearing that Wu Shun wanted to increase his troops, Zhuge Liang's face immediately collapsed.

"To tell the truth, my lord, with Yizhou's financial and material resources, we can support another 20 troops. It's just that the treatment of the sergeants can't be too good."

What Zhuge Liang meant was that as long as Yizhou added another 20 troops according to the standards of raising soldiers by other princes, there would be no problem.It's just that Wu Shun's salary for sergeants at the beginning was too high. Zhuge Liang felt that he could only increase by 2 soldiers with the current salary standard of Wuling Army.

"The soldiers threw their heads and blood for the people of Yizhou. Of course we have to solve their worries. If the treatment is not good, who wants to fight hard?"

Wu Shun also knew about his family's affairs. The White Tiger Legion had 2 soldiers. Because they won the title of the First Legion, their pay was doubled.The salaries and meals of other legions are not low, and they burn money every day.

"My lord, increasing military strength is not just a way to increase troops."

At this time, Fazheng spoke.

"Oh, I don't know what Xiaozhi thinks?"

Wu Shun asked.

Wu Shun really wanted to hear how to enhance Yizhou's military strength without increasing troops.

"My lord, the Wuling Army has 12 elite troops, and their strength on land is no weaker than anyone else. Now that the Hangu Pass is in hand, and the White Tiger Army is guarding the critical point, the princes of the Guandong can only look at the pass and sigh. Right now, what our army should strengthen is The strength of the navy."

The navy is indeed a weakness of Yizhou.Gan Ning's [-]-strong navy has no warships to use yet.Wu Shun has also ordered the construction of warships for the navy, but the construction of new warships will take a long time.

"Strengthening the navy is nothing more than starting with warships. Does Xiao Zhi have a good way to speed up the construction of warships?"

Wu Shun asked Fazheng.

"In the name of the recruiting hall, recruit shipwrights from all over the world!"

Fazheng said firmly.

In Yuanjiang Dock, many shipwrights are already working overtime to build warships.But a navy needs more than one warship, so Yizhou needs a general shipbuilder.
