Wu Shun didn't care about the past suspicions, but the Yizhou officials didn't dare to let the matter pass like this, and led public opinion to seriously hurt Zhang Xiong, fortunately Wu Shun clarified quickly, otherwise there would be serious consequences. \ Those Yizhou officials who participated in this matter almost took the initiative to resign under the pressure of their hearts, after all, for their own interests, slandering the protector of the country, and the emperor's refusal to condemn was already the greatest favor.
In the Western Regions, because of the capricious rest, the White Tiger Army fell into passivity, because of the fear of being attacked on the back, Zhang Xiong did not order a strong attack on the important city of Wusun, so that Wusun held out for half a month, and the Persian army arrived, and their strength was enhanced.
In view of the change in the balance of strength, the second prince Wu Tian suggested to Zhang Xiong and asked the imperial court for additional troops.
At the end of the ninth year of Huaxia, Zhang Xiong, the commander of the White Tiger Army, took the initiative to ask the imperial court to increase troops in the Western Regions.
Because of the winter, the White Tiger Army suspended its offensive and entered a state of confrontation with the Wusun and Persian armies.
Heavy snow closed the roads, and the weather was freezing.
Wu Shun received Zhang Xiong's request for additional troops, and there was no way to increase the troops immediately, his second brother and second son were in the Western Regions, and Wu Shun was very worried that the Wusun people would use troops against the White Tiger Legion in winter.
The 50,000 men of the White Tiger Legion entered Wusun, and the supply line was too long, and the countries of the Western Regions tried their best to supply them in order to ensure the needs of the front-line army.
The winter in the Western Regions was cold and dry, and there was an extreme shortage of water, so the soldiers were in urgent need of drinking water and things to keep out the cold.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the White Tiger Legion in the Western Regions, Wu Shun could only issue an order to transport a large number of supplies from the Central Plains into the Western Regions.
The severe cold of winter has made the Western Regions short of materials, and the horse thieves are rampant to plunder civilians and merchants in order to survive, and the elites of the countries in the Western Regions have been transferred to Wusun, so they have no ability to sweep away the increasingly rampant horse thieves in the Western Regions.
However, the horse thieves in the Western Regions did one thing wrong, because of hunger and bitter cold, they hit the idea of military supplies and hijacked a squad to transport military supplies.
This matter soon reached Wu Shun's ears, and the military quartermaster was robbed by horse thieves, and he couldn't be angry if he didn't want to.
"Pro-Recruitment" As soon as Wu Shun said this, the ministers were frightened This kind of ghost weather emperor wants to recruit in person, isn't this nonsense, but they don't dare to persuade directly, so they can only wait for Zhuge Liang and a few other adults to persuade them, "This, the prince was also scolded, it seems that the emperor is really angry."
"Yes, those damn horse thieves in the Western Regions are too bold to dare to touch our supply army."
"You can't live if you do your own evil, but this matter is not worth the emperor's personal levy."
"Who said it wasn't, there is a protector in the Western Regions, everything is still under control, Your Majesty has indeed taken a risk" Outside the main hall, civil and military officials gathered in twos and threes to discuss.
In the main hall, Wu Shungang drove Wu Hao out, and the eldest son blindly opposed the pro-conquest because he was worried about his own safety, and his ears were calloused.
"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is not wrong, it is winter now, and the climate in the Western Regions is harsh, so it is not the best time to use troops."
Zhuge Liang said.
As an important advisor to Wu Shun's side, Zhuge Liang knew that Wu Shun's personal expedition was not because horse thieves plundered military supplies.
"I also know that in winter, it is cold and freezing, not to mention the difficulty of supply, it will increase the loss and cause unnecessary losses."
Wu Shun said: "But we are like this, and Persia is also like this, the White Tiger Legion entered the Wusun country, and the resources of Wusun were basically exhausted, and they could still hold on at this time, most of them had the assistance of Persia." ” Wu Shun's speculation was not without reason, Wusun Guo was originally a member of the Western Regions, and it was a relatively powerful kind, and the secret guard's investigation of them was more detailed.
Now that the war is prolonging, Wusun has to supply his own soldiers and soldiers, but also to supply the Persian army, and supply the two countries with the materials of one country, Wusun is already tightening his belt to live.
Now that winter has begun, the army needs more supplies, and Wusun is likely to be unable to shoulder the supply task of the armies of the two countries.
If the supplies of the Persians were transported from Persia, the supply line was not short, and Wu Shun wanted to conquer in person, thinking of taking it by surprise and destroying Wusun with a large army and subduing Persia Countries that dare to confront the Central Plains will be severely punished if they are slow to compete in martial arts "Your Majesty, you can wait until the beginning of spring next year and the climate is warmer before acting, so that the supply pressure will be reduced, and the army will march faster," Xu Shu said.
He did not object to Wu Shun's personal conquest, but he was not optimistic about the use of troops in winter.
Not to mention the pressure of increasing logistics and supply, for the soldiers, fighting in winter is also quite a great pressure.
"Yuanzhi, Wusun Persia didn't expect that we would attack them in the bitter cold, and we could get the first opportunity."
Wu Shun said.
"Your Majesty, to fight a war with a country like Wusun and Persia, you don't need any chance, you can directly fight the legions and press in, and they have to fight.
So you can defeat them at any time, as long as you give the second general another army, the war will soon be over.
Xu Shu said very firmly.
Now Zhang Xiong led the 50,000 White Tiger Legion, plus tens of thousands of troops from the Western Regions, he can already gain the upper hand, which shows that the Persians, who are almost invincible in the west, are not so powerful.
Give Zhang Xiong a few tens of thousands more, and it is entirely possible to sweep Persia Xu Shu's meaning, Wu Shun also understood, it was nothing more than that as long as he increased his troops, he could defeat the enemy, and there was no need to be in a hurry.
But Wu Shun didn't want to wait, so he thought about pacifying the Western Regions in this winter.
"Your Majesty, it is not impossible to use troops in winter, the focus is on the supply of grain and grass materials, as long as this problem can be solved, our Central Plains soldiers can go out at any time," Guo Jia said.
"Fengxiao, do you have a way to solve the winter supply problem," Wu Shun asked.
Since Guo Jia said it, he usually has an answer.
Wu Shun asked, and he said: "Back to the emperor, in the past, in the war, most of the logistics supplies were requisitioned from civilian workers, and the efficiency was low, and additional expenses had to be borne by the ministers, so the emperor asked the emperor to set up a special logistics support agency to be responsible for the supply of various armies." ” Isn't this the logistics department to design a special logistics support organization, and the armies of later generations have quartermasters, of course, the current Shu army also has them, but the responsibilities are not so clear.
As soon as Guo Jia reminded him, Wu Shun thought of building a logistics army that could react quickly and get used to all kinds of terrain.
Specialized in the rapid delivery of supplies to the battlefield.
"Fengxiao, what you said is very reasonable, in our Central Plains army, we do need an army that specializes in sending materials or soldiers to the battlefield, although the requisition of civilian workers is simple, but the efficiency is not high, and it is not efficient to transport it in the way of the army, which is faster and more efficient, and has the ability to prevent being robbed."
Wu Shun said.
"Your Majesty, such an army needs to go through a long period of training before it can be competent," Zhuge Liang asked.

What Wu Shun said just now is indeed action-oriented, but an army needs to have so many functions, and it needs to go through a long period of training
