Chapter Thirty-Three Getting Ready

Time has come to July, and the soldiers of the Pharisees Legion are almost fully trained. As long as they spend more time on the last battlefield, they can become a qualified Pharisees soldier.

"The weather is too hot. Do you want to go out for a walk, Zilong?"

Li Pu picked a green fruit of unknown variety from the tree, threw it in his mouth and chewed it twice.

Before Zhao Yun could say anything, Li Pu spat out the fruit with a grin on his face, took the water bag from Zhao Yun and rinsed his mouth vigorously.

"General, this stuff won't be ready until September at least. It tastes sour and astringent to you now." Zhao Yun helplessly looked at Li Pu who was squatting on the ground and gargling his mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Damn it, I'm so sour." Li Pu drank the last bit of water in the water bag, and then he felt better.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He regained the entire territory of Youzhou last month. The counties in the front still had to send troops, but when they got to the back, they basically surrendered.

After Youzhou was recovered, Han Fu recommended Jizhou Biejia Min Chun to be the shepherd of Youzhou, and Xu You also nodded.

Han Fu's recommendation means that this person is capable, and Xu You's nod means that this person will not betray.

Li Pu agreed and told Li Pu that Youzhou had been restored, and except for the standing army of 100,000 soldiers, all other soldiers had been disbanded.

So Zhang He and Zhao Yun were also called to Jizhou by Li Pu.

After Zhao Yun followed Li Pu for half a month, he discovered that he used to think that Pan Feng was a tough guy, the kind of super tough guy who wouldn't say anything even if he was beheaded, but he turned out to be so easy-going.

They would scold the cook when they ate something unpleasant, but when the soldiers really kidnapped the cook, they would beat him with twenty sticks and then send the cook back politely.

Zhao Yun felt that Pan Feng was not like a high-ranking general, but more like a common man.

But when Pan Feng is in the army, Pan Feng in the army always sticks to his word and kills decisively. Once an order is given, he must do it.

When Zhao Yun came to the main camp of Defali, he was challenged by many soldiers. However, after Zhao Yun defeated Lai Wen with three moves, there were many fewer people who challenged Zhao Yun.

"Where are you going, general?" Zhao Yun took the empty water bag and threw it into the horse bag.

"Qingzhou."

"Qingzhou?" Zhao Yun looked at Li Pu in disbelief.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is currently fighting fiercely with Cao Cao. Although the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, many people are still acting in the name of the Yellow Turban Army.

And the number of people is quite large. There are millions of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. This time the governor of Yanzhou died at the hands of the Yellow Turbans, so they should not be underestimated.

Cao Cao was currently fighting against the Yellow Turban Army, but was being beaten back steadily, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties.

"General, are you ready to help Cao Cao?" Zhao Yun was a little confused. If it was for Qingzhou's territory, then he would just wait for the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to defeat Cao Cao.

The Yellow Turban Army is already disorganized and will be in chaos after a great victory. At that time it will be a good time to enter Qingzhou.

Now Li Pu chooses to go to Qingzhou when Cao Cao is defeated. What else is it if he is not helping Cao Cao?

"You are thinking too much. How could Cao Cao be defeated by the Yellow Turbans so easily? Cao Cao's counterattack will begin soon. If we don't take the opportunity to enter Qingzhou at this time, once Cao Cao conquers the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, we will be in trouble."

Li Pu led the horse into Yecheng, and the soldiers standing guard quickly raised their heads and straightened their chests without squinting.

Watching Li Pu and Zhao Yun lead their horses into the city.

After Zhao Yun came back, Li Pu had been learning riding skills from Zhao Yun.

Although Li Pu had been able to ride a horse for a long time, he still only knew how to ride. Compared with equestrian experts like Zhao Yun, he was still far behind.

And the most important thing is that Zhao Yun is strict enough and does not know Pan Feng's past, so Li Pu can safely practice riding with Zhao Yun.

"What's the general's plan?" Zhao Yun bought some steamed cakes from the street and asked while eating them.

After practicing all morning, the two of them were already hungry. Li Pu took the steamed cake and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.

The people around him have long been accustomed to this scene. They should continue to do whatever they should do. Some people would even say hello to Li Pu.

"I plan to lead a group of soldiers and horses, a total of 60,000 French-destroying troops. You will lead 10,000 French-destroying troops and 50,000 Jizhou troops to capture Qingzhou."

Li Pu broke up the original soldiers of the Destroying Legion and used them as the backbone to form an army of 100,000. This was their first battle.

"General, I'm afraid Yun is not up to the task." Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment.

After all, this was his first time leading an army on an expedition. Before, he had been a deputy general and only had to listen to the commander. This time, he had to make his own decision, and he still felt a little uneasy.

"Don't be afraid. The champion went deep into the desert at the age of eighteen, and conquered the Qilian Mountains at the age of nineteen. Look at today's world, he became the emperor at the age of eight. What can't you do if you are just leading the army all by yourself?"

Li Pu said as he ate the last steamed cake.

"Ah...this...champion is nothing more than...the emperor..." Zhao Yun was a little helpless.

"Don't worry, I will send Xun Chen to be your military advisor, but you have to know that you can listen to the advisor's words or not. In the end, it is you who makes the decision. You have to be responsible for your own decisions, and more importantly, for the soldiers. Understand

?"

Li Pu clapped his hands and wiped them on his clothes.

"The last general takes command!"

"Go ahead, gather your troops and station them in Pingyuan County. When the time comes, you can capture Qingzhou in one fell swoop."

"No!" Zhao Yun stood up.

"Isn't it a bit bad for us to act without asking for orders from the lord?" Zhao Yun said carefully.

"What's wrong? My lord has been grieving over what happened to the emperor these past two days. It's fine for Xu You and I to agree on this kind of thing." Li Pu was very casual.

Li Pu never asked Han Fu's opinion when sending troops. It's not that he never asked. He did ask at the beginning. However, Han Fu never advocated sending troops, so Han Fu was left out of the subsequent troop dispatching procedures.

.

On the day when the troops were launched, just ask Han Fu to come and say a few words and that would be it.

Han Fu is also very happy. Now he only watches dancing and drinks every day. He lives a relaxed and comfortable life, and his territory is constantly increasing.

It makes people like Sun Jian and Cao Cao who work tirelessly to conquer territory cry with envy.

Cao Cao has said more than once that if he had ministers like Pan Feng, he could hand over all his power.

But Li Pu thought about Boss Cao's character and smiled disdainfully. Good guy, Cao Cao hasn't gotten over his habit of loving his wife, so why has he added another bad habit of farting?

Li Pu returned to the camp, where preparations for the expedition had begun.
