DAY 191 Expedition to Karasuma

Something happened today and tomorrow, and the next two days will be updated for 5,000 yuan a day.

Since Wang Yun had previously used a series of plans against Wu Fan and Cao Cao, although he ended up in failure and almost saved Diao Chan. However, his original intention at that time was to get rid of Wu Fan or use Wu Fan's hands to get rid of Cao Cao. Therefore, Wu Fan deliberately maintained a very cold attitude towards this father-in-law.

When in Luoyang, he occasionally walked on the street, but Wu Fan didn't even slant his eyes, let alone say hello. Wang Yun also knew his guilty identity, and it was a great luck to be able to save his life. Therefore, he always looked down in front of Wu Fan.

However, Wang Yun is a tough guy, and he will never do it when he flatters.

Wu Fan was very pleased to see Wang Yun's current performance. Although Wang Yun had wanted to harm him at the beginning, it was normal for each of them to be his own master. Now, if this father-in-law can return to his fate and surrender to my Cao camp, it will be the best.

After thinking about it, Wu Fan put this aside and began to work on the urban policy of governing the city: except for Luoyang to prevent Chang'an, all urban policies were changed to governance. At the same time, the generals from Pingyuan, Ji, Beiping, Xiangping and other cities were dispatched to balance the number of generals in each city so that the prefect of each city had enough manpower to govern their respective cities.

On the other hand, all kinds of siege equipment transported from the plains have arrived in Peiping. The long convoy is beyond the sight of it, which is extremely spectacular. Wu Fan reorganized the 375,000 troops gathered in Peiping and became the sixteen troops; among them, the Qingzhou fighters finally reached Wu Fan's current maximum number of troops - the scale of 70,000, and became the largest number of people in all troops, and naturally the strongest combat power.

Dozens of siege weapons were then assigned to these troops, so that each unit was equipped with a siege vehicle, a well railing, and a thunderbolt vehicle. The remaining siege weapons were stored in the armory in Peking for future needs.

As for the military generals participating in the expedition, all the first-class generals under Wu Fan were included: Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Zhou Tai, Li Zhan, all of them were listed. In addition, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia, as the leaders of the war, also went out to the expedition.

Others, such as Wen Pin, Zang Ba, Tian Chou, Zhang Yan, and other second-rate and third-rate generals, also participated. After all, there were many troops, and they could not be led by the top capable ministers under Wu Fan, so they had to bring them with them as well.

Although Yuan Shao, the prefect of Xiangping, did not receive Wu Fan's order, he came to Peiping to request to participate in this expedition. Wu Fan considered that Yuan Shao was there, the morale of the old subordinates of the Yuan army would be greatly encouraged. In addition, this expedition was also for him to show it, so he agreed to hand over a 20,000 Yuan army archery unit to Yuan Shao for command.

After completing all the preparations for the expedition, Wu Fan ordered the entire army to rest for a day. In the evening, Wu Fan wrote another letter to Cao Cao, which was to reminisce about the past, and to express his determination to conquer Wuhuan this time.

The next morning, after breakfast, the entire army officially set off for the expedition to Wuhuan.

Before leaving, Wu Fan thought for a while and ordered the logistics escort officer to bring the thirty jars of cellar wine that Cao Cao gave him, and maybe when it would come in handy.

Since the "Expedition to Wuhuan Mission" is half a year, it has been three months since the armament of all cities under their rule before, and now there are only three months left.

In addition, the shortage of military rations in Hebei has not been completely alleviated. Nearly half of the military rations for this expedition were transferred by Cao Cao from the First Legion. This part of the military rations, coupled with the military rations that Wu Fan's Second Legion could mobilize, was only enough to support this 470,000 army for three months.

In other words, whether it is the mission period or the military ration limit, Wu Fan must break through Wuwan City within three months.

However, despite only three months of military rations, the convoys for transporting food and grass were still very large, traveling on the road, stretching for dozens of miles. Considering that all of Wuhuan were archers and cavalrymen, and were very good at harassing and launching surprise attacks, Wu Fan did not concentrate the food and grass carts in front of the team, nor did he concentrate them behind them, but instead "climbed" in the middle - a single cart was connected to the head and tail, and the two sides were guarded by combat troops.

Although such a formation is a bit slow, at least the food and grass are very safe. When expeditions are outside, the most feared thing is that food and grass are lost. Therefore, even the speed of sacrifice is worth it.

...

As mentioned earlier, when Cai Yan was leaving, he left a letter to Wu Fan, saying that he would definitely return before the expedition to Wuhuan. However, at this time, Wu Fan had already led the expedition troops on the road, but Cai Yan was still not seen.

Wu Fan had no idea whether Cai Yan would follow the army to go on an expedition, and he did not expect the piano rules mentioned by Cai Yan to play a big role. However, seeing that Cai Yan had broken the agreement, Wu Fan was not only worried: Could it be that Cai Yan was tragically caught by the Wuwan archers and then kidnapped?

While hesitating, a donkey screamed behind him, and his loud voice attracted everyone to look back and watch. Wu Fan looked back and smiled. The person who came was Cai Yan.

It can be seen that Cai Yan was walking in a hurry, looking simple and simple manner, holding a guzheng in his arms, unable to take the reins, and could only let the donkey under him run happily.

When Wu Fan approached, Cai Yan shouted a few times. The donkey kept running towards Huan. Wu Fan pulled the reins with one hand, and then he became honest. Cai Yan smiled and said to Wu Fan:

"It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't catch up with you."

Wu Fan also smiled:

"I thought you wouldn't come if you travel around the world."

The two of them joked for a while, and Wu Fan pointed to the front:

"General Lu Lingqi, the general who fought against rebellion, is not far away. You two are women. The long road is long and there is something to say and you can take care of each other. Why not just go find her?"

Cai Yan nodded and headed happily in the direction of Wu Fan's finger.

Although Lu Lingqi has a bold personality, all the soldiers and generals around her are men. She is arrogant and naturally rarely talks and feels bored. Cai Yan's arrival made her very happy. The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and they got along very well.

Three days later, the expeditionary force arrived at the border.

The 100,000 Yuan troops stationed here have no command of military generals and the long front line, so their combat effectiveness is relatively low, and their training and morale are not optimistic.

This was originally a deterrent force set up by Yuan Shaobu here, with the purpose of intimidating the Wuwan Archers and Cavalry so that they dare not go south easily. However, if they really want to fight, they are no match for the Wuwan Archers at all. A gap was opened by a single impact by Wuwan's 50,000 Archers in the previous period, and there are still more than 96,000 people left.
