"His Royal Highness the Prince, in this battle, 317 people were killed in the camp, and the soldiers of Nanzheng County lost 527 people and 612 horses. Kill 2,000 enemies and take 1,000 prisoners. ”

Zhang Wei counted the losses and reported them to Chu Wu.

The officers and soldiers who came to crusade against the Qinling bandits suffered half of the casualties.

After a tragic battle, the officers and soldiers stopped crusading against the bandits and were stationed in the camp to rest.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were active in the Qinling Mountains, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of crusading against the bandits.

Now Chu Wu has a new goal, trying to exterminate the bandits in the Qinling Mountains, and at the same time, find a way to recruit Lu Bu's old troops.

Chu Wu and Gao Shun comforted the wounded soldiers and calmed their emotions, which was conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army and restoring morale.

"One general will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but all soldiers need to be cautious, otherwise these brothers who usually share life and death will be wiped out because of the mistakes of the main general."

Gao Shun rarely spoke, hoping to let the prince learn a lesson.

One general is incompetent, and the three armies are affected.

In the future, Chu Wu may be in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, and his decision is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Chu Wu nodded.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, as his first experience package, brought a lot of shock to Chu Wu, and almost forced Chu Wu's hole cards out.

Zhang Dao, who was stationed in Tuntian, Nanzheng County, to help develop agriculture in Nanzheng County, received a letter from Chu Wu asking for help, and was also a little surprised to learn that there were two thieves in the Qinling Mountains, Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Ordinary bandits, the county soldiers in charge of public security can be pacified, but Li Dao and Guo Yan are not ordinary county soldiers who can capture them.

"Unconsciously, Chu Tian's son can lead the troops alone. It's just that the first time he went into battle, he encountered such a strong enemy. I'd better go and support it myself. ”

Although Zhang Dao thought that he would use 100,000 Hanzhong legions to crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan in the Qinling Mountains, and use a knife to kill chickens, Chu Wu was the crown prince after all, and Zhang Dao still had to weigh his orders for a while.

Zhang Dao ordered, and the 100,000 Hanzhong army began to pull out the camp - go to Qinling to crusade against the bandits.

"To crusade against a group of bandits, you have to let General Ben go on the expedition."

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, is still the number one fighter under Zhang Dao.

Li Zicheng dared to fight and not die, and was appointed as a pioneer general by Zhang Dao, leading 10,000 people to take the lead in supporting.

Zhang Dao himself took the three Zhang Jiao brothers, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang as backup.

100,000 Hanzhong troops pulled out the camp, mighty.

The Hanzhong Legion has not fought for five years and has been training.

Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the Chutian forces have raised almost two thousand days of soldiers and horses, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the average level of the Hanzhong Legion is very high, and there are basically no recruits.

"Can he really mobilize the Hanzhong Army? Who the hell is he? ”

Lu Lingqi, who was camped in the Slope Valley, hesitated.

Chu Wu wanted to recruit her, and she resented Xia Jun.

Lu Bu had hundreds of his old ministry defecting to Lu Lingqi, and Lu Lingqi thought it was necessary for him to save his father's old department's life.

Chu Wu obviously threatened Lu Lingqi with the lives of Lu Bu's old department.

Is this the attitude towards life-savers?

Lu Lingqi couldn't help but feel annoyed when she thought of Chu Wu.

Chu Wu camped and waited for Zhang Dao's army to arrive.

The soldiers and horses of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, arrived first, 3,000 cavalry arrived, and 7,000 infantry, mighty!

"Hanzhong Army, Li Zicheng, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Zicheng is in full swing, and in the face of Chu Wu, who is a generation younger, he also has to salute!

"My father has repeatedly mentioned to me that General Li is the first brave general of the Hanzhong Army and has made great contributions. When I saw it today, General Li was really strong. ”

"Li is willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Zicheng was praised by Chu Wu, who was the crown prince, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Where is Zhang Dao's army?"

"The 100,000-strong army is pulling out the camp, and the speed is slow, so the last will go first, and the army is still in the rear."

"I see."

Chu Wu rarely dealt with local generals, and he was also a little flustered in his heart.

Chu Tian and Xia Liang usually naturally have the character of telling Chu Wu's various generals.

Li Zicheng is a relatively ambitious general, and he needs a strong lord to control Li Zicheng.

"Miss, a large number of Xia troops have entered the Slope Valley, and the number of troops may be tens of thousands!"

In Lu Lingqi's camp, she received the news and immediately went out of the camp to check, and sure enough, she saw the Xia army all over the mountains appearing.

Chu Wu ordered a piece of paper and mobilized the Hanzhong Army!

Zhang Dao's Hanzhong Legion is not a county soldier who maintains law and order, but an elite soldier and horse directly controlled by the emperor!

"Could it be that he is a member of the royal family?"

Although Lu Lingqi is not known for her resourcefulness, she is still knowledgeable.

can mobilize the Hanzhong army and let Gao Shun serve as a deputy general, in addition to the emperor, it is very likely that he is a member of the royal family.

"Father, what should I do?"

Lu Lingqi was reluctant to join Xia Jun.

However, according to this trend, if Chu Wu really mobilized an "500,000 army" to sweep the Qinling Mountains, the old troops left behind by her father might be wiped out in the encirclement and suppression.

It's a mixed and conflicting mood.

"We're going to see that guy tomorrow."

Lu Lingqi was reluctant in every way, but she still had to solve the problem.

The day after Li Zicheng's 10,000 people arrived, Zhang Dao, the commander of the Hanzhong Army, finally arrived with the remaining 90,000 troops.

Chu Wu rode on the Salu purple war horse and saw the legendary Yellow Turban Chief, Yellow Turban Warrior, and the Late Qin Rebel Army.

The famous Yellow Turban Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can only be seen under Zhang Dao.

Originally, Chutian wanted to disband the last Yellow Turban Army, but Zhang Dao wrote a letter requesting to keep a Yellow Turban Army, because the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang had a high bonus to the Yellow Turban Army.

In the end, Chu Tian agreed to Zhang Dao's request, so the last Yellow Turban Army was retained.

"Hanzhong Jun Zhang Dao, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The general doesn't have to be polite. This crusade against the Qinling bandits will be hard for the general. ”

Chu Wu did not dare to be arrogant in the face of subordinates of Zhang Dao's level.

Zhang Dao, Xu Fengnian, Huo An, and Prince Yan, these players, who are the same generation as Chu Tian, have great achievements and have a very high status.

"If the minister knew that Li Dao and Guo Yan were in the Qinling Mountains, he would definitely send troops to help, and he would not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take risks."

Zhang Dao also thought that it would be difficult for Chu Wu to bring such a small number of troops to crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Lu Lingqi, who came to find Chu Wu, heard the conversation between Chu Wu and Zhang Dao, and suddenly shook her delicate body and widened her eyes.

The young general in front of her, who was almost the same age as her, turned out to be the crown prince of the empire!

No wonder he claimed that he could mobilize an army of 500,000 to sweep the Qinling Mountains......

Lu Lingqi's mood was even more complicated.

If she kills Chu Wu, it seems that she can avenge her father.

However, Lu Bu himself chose to die in battle instead of being executed by order of Chu Tian, and this matter could hardly be counted on Chu Wu's head.

Moreover, if Chu Wu is killed, Lu Bu's old department and their families will have to sit together.

"The minister has already divided the Hanzhong army into five routes of soldiers and horses, and he doesn't dare to say that he can flatten all the mountain people and rogues in the Qinling Mountains, but nine times out of ten, he can kill Li Dao and Guo Yan."

Zhang Dao also has to make meritorious contributions in front of the crown prince.

He divided the 100,000 Hanzhong army into five routes, each with 20,000 troops, and the main generals were Li Zicheng, Zhang Jiao, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Yang Ren (Zhang Lu's general).

The Hanzhong Legion is all professional soldiers, the combat power is not weak, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses on each road.

Not to mention, the five soldiers and horses cooperate with each other.

With such a deployment, Li Dao and Guo Yan could only hope that they would not be searched out of the Qinling Mountains by the Hanzhong Army.

Zhang Dao suddenly noticed Lu Lingqi and Red Rabbit Horse.

For Lu Lingqi, Zhang Dao didn't know.

But Zhang Dao knows the red rabbit horse.

These player lords had seen Lu Bu in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, so they were all too familiar with the Red Rabbit Horse.

Then the new owner of the red rabbit horse, it may be...... Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi.

"Miss Lu, the king has arrived, and the dock forts in Qinling will be demolished, you lead the people in the dock forts to take refuge in the yamen of Nanzheng County, and I will let them distribute the newly cultivated farmland to these displaced people, so there is no need to worry about not having houses and farm houses. Isn't the fertile soil of the Hanzhong Plain a thousand times better than living in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains? ”

Chu Wu helped Lu Lingqi make decisions without authorization.

Lu Lingqi's strength is very high, but resourcefulness and internal affairs are not her strengths, so Chu Wu will not allow her to refuse.

Because of Chu Wu's strength, Lu Lingqi wanted to speak and stopped.

The Hanzhong government could arrange farmhouses for the captive exiles, and this was already the best result.

If Lu Lingqi resists stubbornly, the entire dock fort will be razed by 100,000 Hanzhong troops.

In addition, the grain and grass in the fort are already insufficient.

"You, work for me in the future."

Chu Wu hesitated, but decided to recruit Lu Lingqi under his command.

Lu Lingqi showed strong force, and she was not at her peak, and she had a red rabbit horse, most of which would be like her father Lu Bu, a flying general who charged into battle.

Lu Bu's force is very high, and Lu Lingqi estimates that it will not be much worse.

Chu Wu also wants to have his own team, and in the face of Zhang Dao, Li Zicheng and other veteran generals, he has the confidence to speak.

Gao Shun accompanied him to crusade against the bandits this time, but in fact, Gao Shun was Chu Tian's team.

"Hmph, your strength is not as good as mine, so I won't serve you......"

Lu Lingqi rejected Chu Wu's invitation.

Chu Wu's mind was fast: "It's not as good as this, I will pay to hire you and three hundred wolf riders from the state, and pay the military salary every month." In this way, they can still fight on the battlefield. ”

“……”

Lu Lingqi bit her lip, struggling whether to accept Chu Wu's employment.

Zhang Dao, as a veteran-level lord, knew that Chu Wu wanted to establish his own team, so he helped Chu Wu fool Lu Lingqi: "Since you are the daughter of Marquis Wen, you have made the Venerable Marquis a marquis, if he is in the spirit of heaven, I also hope to see that one day, you can also achieve his achievements." ”

Lu Lingqi seemed to be touched.

She really wanted to reach Lu Bu's heights.

"Following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no shortage of opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and it is only a matter of time before the marquis is crowned."

Zhang Dao fooled Lu Lingqi step by step.

Compared with Zhang Dao, who had become an old fox, Chu Wu's methods were still a little more immature, and Zhang Dao could see what Lu Lingqi really wanted.

"Then I...... My father's old ministry and I barely ...... Reluctantly accept your employment ......"

Lu Lingqi hesitated again and again, but still chose to be hired by Chu Wu and become one of the guards directly controlled by the East Palace.
