Chapter 62 Appointments

When he arrived at the conference hall, it was divided into two sides. Liu Bei's old subordinate stood on the left, and the civil and military officials in Jingzhou under Liu Qi stood on the right. As for this time, Liu Bei sat in the first place, Liu Qi sat on the side of Liu Bei, and military advisor Zhuge Liang stood behind the two.

It seems that Liu Qi relies very much on Liu Bei, but after reading the original work, Bai Yuqing felt relieved. This is because Liu Qi is not a heroic ruler and is still young. In addition, the talents below are currently good at governing Jiangling in Xiakou. If he is a hero, he will be a group of mediocre talents. On the other hand, Liu Bei's Zhuge Liang, Guan, Zhang and Zhao are all great talents. Zhuge has the talent to govern the country, and each of Guan, Zhang and Zhao has the ability to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

This meeting was not much different from what Bai Yuqing had expected before coming. On the one hand, it was rewarded on merit and on the other hand, it was to dispatch troops and generals. The war was imminent. Xiakou only had a small area to guard against the Cao army's surprise attacks at all times. While guarding the important road, it also had to play a timely warning role.

In this parliament, temporarily promoted generals like Liu Bing of Bai Yuqing were rewarded at this moment. Bai Yuqing was officially enthroned as a 5,000 brigade of the former generals. As for the troops, they were transferred from the old subordinates of Prince Liu Qi, who was the old subordinate of Jingzhou.

This also led to the fact that the old Jingzhou subordinates under Liu Qi were a little hostile when they looked at Liu Bei's old subordinates. Bai Yuqing did not care about this kind of vision and was happy to accept it. Liu Qi's old subordinates would sooner or later become Liu Bei's subordinates. I remember that after the Battle of Red Cliff in the original work, the young master Liu Qi died of illness soon.

It can be seen that Liu Qi's methods are obviously not as good as Liu Bei. In the original work, he died of illness, but Bai Yuqing did not think that the most profitable among them was Liu Bei. Of course, this is also a speculation. However, no matter how you look at it, Jingzhou will only be Liu Bei's in the future. Of course, this is based on the victory of the Battle of Chibi.

As for the enthronement, they began to mobilize troops and generals. Guan Yu was in charge of Jiangxia, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were in charge of Xiakou to train tens of thousands of naval troops of Liu Qi and Liu Bei. In fact, to be honest, Xiakou is more important than Jiangxia. Although Jiangxia is considered a strong city, Xiakou is more convenient to train naval troops by the Yangtze River.

When Bai Yuqing arrived, Bai Yuqing was stunned. This appointment was all Zhuge Liang who issued orders, and Bai Yuqing needed to station Wulin. Compared to Xiakou where Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were stationed, Wulin was more like a front line, because it was across the river from Chibi. However, Bai Yuqing's task was to always watch the movements of Cao Cao's navy going south.

However, no matter what, this task is very arduous, because Zhuge Liang gave Bai Yuqing's soldiers to all newly-organized recruits. The task given to Bai Yuqing was to monitor the movements of Cao's army while also training these 5,000 recruits.

This made Bai Yuqing feel really bad. Zhuge Liang's tendency to favor Liu Bei's confidants was too serious. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were only dedicated to training the navy in Xiakou, and Guan Yu was in charge of the base camp. On the other hand, they were newly promoted generals who were sent to the front line.

Perhaps in Zhuge Liang and the others' hearts, pawns like Liu Bing, Bai Yuqing, are all chess pieces that can be abandoned at any time. Liu Bing is actually similar. Although he was only assigned 3,000 new recruits, he was not as close to the front line as Bai Yuqing. He only needed to guard against the Eastern Wu side. Of course, he was going to join forces with the Eastern Wu side at the moment. It can be said that his side is the safest at the moment.

The next day, Bai Yuqing, accompanied by the military officer, ordered 5,000 troops, equipment, food and grass and rushed to Wulin. However, he seemed to think that Bai Yuqing was under great pressure, so he also assigned a three-star early deputy general to accompany him. This deputy general was Liu Qi's old subordinate. It seemed that Zhuge Liang was willing to merge with Liu Qi's power in advance.

After crossing the river, there was a long path of shabby intestines. Bai Yuqing and Li Shishui each rode a horse. Li Shishui was Liu Qi's old subordinate and the deputy general of Bai Yuqing today. The horses they rode were not tall, which was the characteristic of the war horses in Jingzhou. The Jingzhou area did not want to have much open land. The northern war horses and horses were all tall and big. On the other hand, the war horses in Jingzhou were much shorter, but although the speed was not too fast, they were full of endurance.

The two of them were walking on the mountain road, and Bai Yuqing looked around. Beyond the rugged path were jungles, completely looking undeveloped.

Such a primitive jungle scene was difficult to see in previous lives, but it can be seen everywhere in this mission world.

At this moment, Li Shishui looked at Bai Yuqing with a bit of worry on his face and said, "General Bai, aren't you worried about going to Wulin County this time?"

Bai Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "Oh, what are you worried about?"

Li Shishui smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it is the Cao army. Cao army has great power. It is said that this time, Cao army is known as a million troops with its general trend, and it is necessary to flatten the nine counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop."

Bai Yuqing glanced at the middle-aged man Li Shishui and said, "What, Brother Li is afraid?"

Hearing Bai Yuqing say this, Li Shishui shook his head and said, "How could I be afraid? I'm just worried that you can't do anything when you get there due to the environment. Nowadays, most of your subordinates are new recruits, and the local officials in Wulin are afraid that they will hear the large-scale attack of Cao's army. Although they are facing us on the surface, they may have already been connected to Cao behind their backs!"

Bai Yuqing said confidently: "Don't worry, it's just Wulin County. If you and my brother can't handle it, then go back to Jiangxia in shame."

Inspired by Bai Yuqing's momentum, Li Shishui was shocked and said, "Yes, our brothers will definitely be able to settle it. Just a mere Wulin County, can it be a big deal?"

Wulin County is only a hundred miles away from Jiangxia, with hills on three sides and flat dams on one side. Although it is not a place of poor mountains and bad waters, it is not a place of wealth. The entire Wulin County is actually only more than 50,000 people.

Of course, if the surrounding villages are included, there are at least 100,000 people. Unfortunately, most of these villagers are now unwilling to accept discipline, and many of them have become bandits, and even attack the county town from time to time. This can be said to be the source of disaster for the entire Wulin County.

It can be said that the place Zhuge Liang chose for Bai Yuqing is simply... In that sentence, there are always troublemakers who want to harm me, and they are close to the front line battlefield, which is even more internal and external troubles. No wonder veterans like Li Shishui are also worried. However, there are too few people who can arrange them now, and Bai Yuqing knows that it is already very good to be able to give him a deputy general.

At present, the original garrison in Wulin County was only as large as 700. You should know that conventionally, there should be more than 1,000 people in a county town, especially in the war, which should be more than 700 people in Wulin County. Even so, it can only barely protect the safety of Wulin County within a radius of dozens of miles.
