In the end, Diao Chan still left. She could not stay in Zhang Wu's residence for a long time before she married into the family.
Ever since he saw the third martial soul, Zhang Wu had added a compulsory course. He went to the Prime Minister's residence in the morning to listen to the lessons, went to the Flying Bears Camp in the afternoon to supervise the training of soldiers, and stayed at home to read books at night.
After the first lunar month, the strategists who had gone back to their hometown to worship their ancestors returned to Xuchang one after another. Even Yang Xiu, who had a weak body, came to report to the Flying Bear Camp.
The Flying Bears Battalion was stationed in the open space to the east of Xuchang. On the vast drill ground, ten thousand horses galloped, looking mighty and majestic.
Seeing Zhang Wu check the camp, the cavalry stopped their training and raised their guns in unison. They shouted in unison, the fanaticism in their eyes clear.
This was the greatest benefit of having a brave commander.
The soldiers of Liang were arrogant, but it also depended on who they were facing. If others were to lead the flying bear, they might have to eat, live, and train with the soldiers to slowly gain recognition.
When it came to Zhang Wu, these troubles did not exist at all.
Furthermore, the two vice generals, Li Jue and Hua Xiong, were both valiant generals of Western Liang.
Hwa Xiong flew towards Zhang Wu and jumped off his horse."General, the flying bear army is training. Do you need to beat the drum to recruit soldiers?”
" No need. Continue training."
Hwa Xiong seemed to have something to say, but he did not know where to start. Zhang Wu felt uncomfortable and asked,"Gongwei seems to have something to say."
"Cough, the new scholar is weak. Do you need special care?"
Fine, Hwa Xiong was treating Yang Xiu as a second-generation official who had come to Fei Xiong for gilding.
This kind of thing was not uncommon anywhere. This Yang Xiu was indeed a second generation official, but he was not worthy to come under Zhang Wu to gild. The real person who came to Fei Xiong to gild was actually someone else.
"Ignore him and treat him normally.”
As soon as Zhang Wu finished speaking, Cao Ang rode over with his sword and horse. He smiled awkwardly in front of Zhang Wu,""General, I am Cao Ang.”
Hwa Xiong's eyes widened. This, this was the Prime Minister's eldest son!
After all this time, this man was the real heir to the Flying Bear Gilded Family.
Cao Cao's wife, Lady Ding, had no children. Cao Ang's mother died early and was raised by Lady Ding. If one were to really count, this was the Prime Minister's eldest son.
If something really happened to him in the Flying Bears Army, the commander Zhang Wu might be fine, but he, as the deputy general, would definitely be held accountable.
Zhang Wu's face was also twitching. Boss Cao didn't bring his son with him, but instead stuffed him under his command. His intention was obvious.
It was easy to make contributions in the flying bear army, and secondly, it was to build a good relationship between Cao Ang and Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu was Cao Cao's most trusted right-hand man. This situation could only mean that he was indeed grooming Cao Ang as his future successor.
"Alright, return to camp."
"Yes!" With Zhang Wu's approval, Cao Ang happily joined the training team.
Hwa Xiong looked troubled. This was…This…"
"What? Are you afraid that he will take your credit?”
"I don't dare."
In fact, even if he really gave the credit to Cao Ang, it was not a big deal. After all, he was the son of the Prime Minister. To put it bluntly, when Cao Ang ascended the throne in the future, he could get back ten times the credit he gave.
"If you have nothing to do, go and train.”
"Understood," Hwa Xiong cupped his fists.
After that, Zhang Wu gave Yang Xiu a beating.
This person was a veteran opportunist. His methods were not suitable for Cao Ang, who was purely filial. If he really led Cao Ang astray, that would be a big problem.
Li Jue, Hua Xiong, Yang Xiu, Cao Ang, and the useless Niu Fu.
In that case, his flying bear subordinates could be considered to be filled with talents.
At the very least, he was much stronger than when he had only had Li Jue.
For the entire February, Xuchang was busy preparing its soldiers and horses. The flying bears were training as usual. Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to recruit soldiers and expand them to 150,000 soldiers and 30,000 flying bear cavalry. They were known as 200,000. They dominated Yanzhou and all the vassals in the world feared them.
It was the middle of March, and everything was recovering. The snow had melted. On this day, Zhang Wu was training his soldiers in the army, but he was summoned back by the Prime Minister's troops.
The meeting hall was filled with people for the first time.
On the right, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and Jia Xu sat in turn.
On the left were Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, Xu Huang, and Li Dian.
Behind Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood with their sabers pressed against their hands.
Seeing Zhang Wu come in, Cao Ren took the initiative to move his seat and let Zhang Wu take the seat on the left.
"Since Ziqian is here, Wenruo, let's begin.”
Xun Yu stood up and bowed at the table. He came to the sand table and pointed at it."Guan Hai of Qingzhou has about 400,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, claiming to be one million. A hundred thousand soldiers had been sent in, led by the Prime Minister himself, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang. Firstly, they trained the soldiers, and secondly, they gathered the remnants of the Yellow Turban army. They only held the leader of the bandits, and the captives were the main ones.”
Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang stepped forward and cupped their hands."Yes!"
Then, Xun Yu's finger moved down to Runan County."In addition, send out an army to conquer Runan with lightning speed in order to occupy the entire territory of Yuzhou and protect Xuchang's stability. Zhang Wu will lead the army, and Cao Ren will lead 10,000 infantry from the side to coordinate, this battle must be quick.”
Zhang Wu's brows furrowed, and he sat in his seat without saying a word.
"Is Ziqian in trouble?" Xun Yu asked.”
Zhang Wu shook his head." It's not difficult. Yuan Shu is just an ordinary man. He can defeat us with a single command. He doesn't need the entire Flying Bear Army. I only have eight thousand elite cavalry with me. The remaining twenty-two thousand can be led by Li Jue. He will listen to my lord's orders."”
Cao Cao frowned." Ziqian, don't show off. Think about Yuan Shu. He has 300,000 troops. He is a powerful force. We can't underestimate him."”
Zhang Wu laughed." Yuan Gonglu only knows how to enjoy life in Shouchun, but he has Zhang Xun guarding Runan. In my eyes, Zhang Xun is just an idiot who can be defeated with a few charges. On the other hand, my lord only has 5,000 cavalry. I'm afraid that Yanzhou will be in trouble and we won't be able to return in time."”
Due to Zhang Wu's appearance, the current direction of history had changed beyond recognition. Zhang Wu had lost his foresight, but he also discovered that history still had some inertia.
For example, Lu Bu, who was temporarily hiding under Yuan Shao's tent, was not a peaceful person. In the past, when Cao Cao went to war, this guy would jump out and stab Cao Cao in the back. He had to be careful.
If Lu Bu attacked Yan, he would definitely not be able to return to his army when he attacked Runan, Geyang and Ruyin.
On the other hand, the battle at Qingzhou was long and could not be completely occupied in a short period of time. If there was a cavalry on the side, not only could they speed up the attack, but they could also coordinate from the side. If there was any change in Yanzhou, they could return to help within a day and night.
