Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 869
Qingzhou, Prince Lu's Mansion.

As soon as Cao Cao returned here, he received news that the Wuling Army was approaching from three directions.He was very angry in his heart, but Cao Cao knew that he could not panic, let alone show fear.

"Your Majesty, Wu Shun has not conquered Wu State yet, but he has sent troops to approach Lu State. He has too much appetite. In fact, the Wuling Army has no ability to defeat our Lu State army."

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Xun You first came out to explain.It seems that the Wuling Army's three-way advance has no effect on their Lu State.

"Gongda is right. The Wuling army elites are all going to deal with Wu, and the remaining cats and puppies are just sent to die. My Lu elites are no match for his White Tiger Army, so why are they still afraid of the county soldiers of Shu? No?"

The soldiers of the State of Lu are also bloody. Knowing that the main force of the Wuling army is not there, they will not pay attention to the soldiers of the opposing county.

Many generals are ready to launch a vigorous counterattack when the Wuling army enters Qingzhou, and let the Wuling army know that Lu's elite are not to be trifled with.

"Gongda, tell me, where is the Wuling army going to invade our country of Lu?" Cao Cao said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xun You went straight to the middle of the ministers of civil and military affairs, raised his voice and said: "There are three directions for the Wuling Army to advance; first, Guo Jia will lead the Wuling Army cavalry southward from the north, threatening the north of our country; second, Xu Shu will lead the Xuanwu Army from the west and gradually Compressing the scope of our army's activities, in the end, Shu King Wu Shun may come from the south, that is, from the north bank of the Yangtze River. However, apart from the Xuanwu Army and Qilin Army, there are very few who can pose a threat to our elite Lu Kingdom."

"Guo Jia, that traitor!"

When Guo Jia was mentioned, there was a lot of scolding in the hall!The direct line generals of the Cao family gritted their teeth, wishing they could eat Guo Jia raw.

Cao Cao was hit hard when he learned that Guo Jia belonged to Wu Shun.He was suspicious by nature and never trusted others easily, but when he recognized Guo Jia, Guo Jia put him on the sidelines and almost made him lose his life.

"Wu Shun's three-way army can't threaten us for the time being. The cavalry is powerful, but they can't attack the city. I think we should pay attention to the army led by Xu Shu. The Xuanwu Army is also the elite of the Wuling Army, so we should not be underestimated." Chen Yu said out.

He advocated focusing on dealing with Xu Shu.Before that, Xu Shu had had many frictions with them, because Cao Cao aided the state of Wu, so it was impossible for Xu Shu to remain indifferent in Xuzhou.

Moreover, Xu Shu has the Xuanwu Army under his command. This elite army led by Wenpin has excellent defensive ability, but who can say that his siege ability is not good?
No one in the country of Lu is willing to gamble on that eventuality!

In contrast, Wu Shun led the Qilin Legion himself, the main purpose was to prevent Lu State from helping Wu State. If Wu Shun was vulnerable, the Qilin Legion would immediately go north.

In general, what Chen Yu said was approved by most people in the hall.

"What Zhong De said is right. Among the three armies of Shu, the most threatening one is Xu Shu's. So which general is willing to fight?" Cao Cao asked.

Now that the analysis has come out, of course the generals have to express their views.

"My lord, the final general is willing to go!"

A tiger general came out, and everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be Xu Huang and Xu Gongming.

"General Xu Huang is mighty, I order you to lead the soldiers under your command to fight against the Wuling Army Wenpin Division." Cao Cao immediately ordered.

With Xu Huang as a general to defend the western front, Cao Cao is at ease.Firstly, Xu Huang is indeed a rare brave general in the Cao army, and secondly, Wuling has not been able to gather generals and soldiers in a short period of time. With Xu Huang's ability, he can seize the opportunity to fight back.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go with General Xu Huang!"

Another general came out. Cao Cao saw that it was his own general Cao Hong.

Cao Hong now led the tiger and leopard cavalry, thinking that he was restraining the Wuling army's cavalry, and he could not go to deal with Xu Shu.

"Zi Lian, your task is to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to restrain the cavalry of the Wuling army in the north, and prevent them from entering and leaving the land of Lu at will." Cao Cao ordered.

"Yes, the last will obey!"

Cao Hong was satisfied with Cao Cao's arrangement. The reason why he wanted to deal with Xu Shu just now was because he wanted to disrupt the deployment and plan of Shu with cavalry.

Now that Cao Cao ordered him to go north, he would naturally go.Except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, there really was no other legion in the Lu army that could withstand the cavalry of the Wuling army.

"General Le Jin, together with General Xu Huang, lead the troops to fight against Xu Shu!" Cao Cao ordered.

"Yes, the general will obey!" Le Jin, who was named, hurried out of the queue.

Why was Le Jin appointed after Xu Huang was appointed?Because Cao Cao thought about it, and the south side had to resist by himself, so there would be no problems on the other two sides.

After all, Xu Huang couldn't take care of both by himself, so it would be much better if Le Jin was added.As for the north, Cao Hong is enough. Cao Hong belongs to the Cao family, so there is no problem with his loyalty.

After discussing the countermeasures, the tension caused by the Wuling army's three-sided advance suddenly eased a lot, and the worries on the faces of the civil and military officials of the Lu State decreased a lot.

Since there is a way to deal with the Wuling army, no one will be too nervous. Most of the people who are concentrated under Cao Cao's command are the gentry class.

They are used to leaving a way out for their family and will not put all their eggs in one basket.

If Wu Shun's policy is the same as Cao Cao's, these soldiers will definitely send a family elite to the Kingdom of Shu to help Wu Shun contribute to the construction of the Kingdom of Shu.

However, Wu Shun's ideas were too strange for the gentry to accept, and their way of retreat would definitely not be on the side of Shu.

The Wuling army wanted to attack Lu and Wu at the same time. This approach not only surprised the gentry, but also caught them off guard.They couldn't arrange their retreat in detail, so they could only accompany Cao Cao or Sun Quan to resist to the end.

It has to be said that the gentry pay attention to the word loyalty, as long as the interests are the same, they will not betray!

Because of the strong support of the gentry, Cao Cao can say that he doesn't have much to worry about, as long as he keeps the Wuling army out of Qingzhou.

If Wu Shun's philosophy was the same as that of the aristocratic family, he might have been able to reorganize the country very early, but it's a pity that Wu Shun chose the most difficult path!Fortunately, although this road is difficult, it is almost over.

Wu Shun didn't care about Cao Cao's deployment of troops. He knew very well that this action against Lu was mostly to make Cao Cao nervous.

Before forming an advantage, Wu Shun will not open up a new battlefield easily.Fighting is winning, but now the main force of the Wuling army is dealing with Wu, and the offensive is not sharp enough.

In the early days of the plan, Wu Shun and the Qilin Legion were just wandering around the north bank of the Yangtze River!With [-] unicorns, Cao Cao didn't dare to provoke easily. He knew that if there was a real fight, he would be the one to suffer!
The State of Lu has made a plan, but it is not yet ready for war!Similarly, the Wuling army made moves, but they were not ready to attack. The focus of the Wuling army's attack was still Wu.

Perhaps because they knew each other too well, both Wu Shun and Cao Cao let each other do the preparation work, and there was no sign of fighting for the time being.
