After listening to Dou Tong's words, Xu Mu's face became more and more serious.
Not only he, but also Jia Zhou were thinking of a way to enter Shu. He even checked the generals guarding Yuguan.
When he found out that the general was actually the younger brother of the King of Shu, he immediately stopped thinking about it. The possibility of such a person inciting rebellion was almost zero.
King of Shuzhou? This is just a conspiracy of the small court in Cangzhou, and no one recognizes it.
"Dou Tong, can the two counties in southern Sichuan borrow barbarian soldiers?"
Dou Tong pondered for a while, "You should be able to borrow it. I have said before that most of the barbarians in the mountains are very vicious. There are also two or three friendly tribes near the south of Shu. If these tribes offer benefits, they should
I can borrow troops."
"Dou Tong, how many people are there?"
"The number is three thousand. The year before last, there was a shortage of troops in Banan County, so I borrowed a round and asked for five hundred of my good horses."
"These recent barbarians here in southern Shu are generally called Pingman. If they live in the mountains, they are called Tiger Barbarians. Pingbarbarians are still trustworthy, and they often go to towns to barter for some fruit wine and fat.
"
"Dou Tong, among the barbarians in the old forests of Shuzhou, are there any... similar to the Great Khan of Beidi?"
I think it was the same in Saibei Grassland back then. After the emergence of the hero, the grassland tribes gathered together and became a serious problem for Da Ji.
"Yes." Dou Tong thought for a while, "But as soon as we gathered our troops, that's when the young marquis rushed to help the battle and defeated and killed the big cave master who had just been supported by the barbarians."
"The young Marquis is a man of God."
Xu Mu nodded, he never denied this.
"Dou Tong, tomorrow I will take a mountain road with you to Banan County to find out what is going on."
"Lord, don't worry."
…
"Shuzhou is mountainous, making it easy to defend and difficult to defend, and the road to Shu is long. But this is not an advantage for us in the future."
After closing the files, Jia Zhou, who was sitting in the wooden pavilion, silently raised his head and looked at the river outside.
Beside him, Fan Lu led several people to protect him.
Gongou sat on the top of the stone pavilion, playing with a newly made repeating crossbow. He knew that it was his boss's method, coupled with the craftsmanship of the old blacksmith, that produced such a sample.
"Xu Changgong! They say you are the best bow in the Xu family army. I want to compete with you in bow skills!"
Gonggou turned his head, looked at the children with their buttocks, laughed twice, and lost interest.
"Brother Gou Fu, let them open their eyes. Your new magical skill can make an arrow thousands of miles accurate."
Before the puppy Fu could draw his bow, he saw a woman breaking off a branch and running towards her. He was so anxious that he ran into the forest.
…
Hiding in the woods, Bai Yanzi was very angry.
Less than a foot away, four or five children were having sex, and the stench was overwhelming.
With a cold face, he looked up at Mu Ting not far away, and resisted the intention of drawing his sword. He knew that his only disciple, Hei Yanzi, was too arrogant, so he failed to succeed immediately.
Be an assassin and look for the best opportunity to strike with a fatal blow.
"Sihu is not here, my master's peerless martial arts training is all in vain."
"Brother Gou Fu, there seems to be something over there in front of you."
The old man hiding in the grass gritted his teeth and held back a "Gugu". As soon as he blurted it out, he felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, a small arrow with yellow bubbles stuck on it hit his extremely clean robe.
Several children didn't even bother to lift their trousers, they cheered and rushed over. There were village women and guards, and they started walking towards the edge of the forest.
With a cold face, Bai Yanzi jumped deep into the forest and disappeared again.
"Ask Sanguizi and the others, I clearly heard the crow of pheasants. If you give me some time, I will be able to catch him with his peerless martial arts skills."
After being slapped twice, the puppy couldn't help it anymore, and a master of his generation knelt down and begged for mercy.
Deep in the woods.
Bai Yanzi twitched her mouth and kept scraping the yellow bubbles on her robe with a branch. After a long time, she finally sighed with difficulty.
Again, if he can't kill him with one blow, he is destined to fail after being alerted by the poisonous osprey.
Walking to a stream in the woods, I met a fisherman grilling fish and invited him to sit with me.
Bai Yanzi drew his sword cleanly and cut the old man's throat, then took off his clothes, resisting the rancid smell, and draped them on himself.
…
"Military advisor, can that person succeed?"
Raising his head, Yuan An asked worriedly.
Even if it is not Xu Mu, the death of the poisonous owl is still worthy of joy. Among the five plans in the world, the poisonous owl has already occupied one of the places.
In front of Yuan An, the masked man in black robe did not answer.
"Army, military advisor, how about I make you a minister?"
"Not really."
The black-robed voice was hoarse, and he turned to look at the emperor who was following him. The large robe was suddenly blown up by the wind.
"I am working for your majesty not for fame and wealth. I don't like these, and I don't lack them either."
"The military advisor is not willing to show up?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to see what I look like?"
Yuan An lowered his head and did not answer.
"Don't look at it, I was born unpleasant." Hei Pao closed his eyes, "If Poison Ou dies in this round of assassination, I will have a way to wipe out Thief Xu's power within a year."
"Military advisor, that Thief Xu is also a smart man."
"In terms of insight and general strategy, he is still a little behind after all. In just one year, he will not be able to enter Shu, and he will die on the bank of Xiangjiang River."
Yuan An wanted to ask again, but then he realized that the black robe in front of him had already stepped forward and left quietly.
Above the sky, dusk is coming one after another.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be on fire, gradually turning into a coke-black color.
…
It rained in southern Sichuan.
People were walking on the rugged mountain road, and soon they were all wet.
Sihu held seven or eight wild flowers between his ears. Following the wet scenery, he lost interest and began to chatter endlessly.
"Lord, please look, that is Banan County."
Xu Mu silently raised his head and looked towards the front of the mountain road. Sure enough, a large checkpoint city was stuck at the mouth of the only canyon. It looked a bit like the Wangzhou border pass.
"There is only one city in Banan County, and there are no other towns. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be regarded as locking the door of the four counties in western Shu."
"Guard Yuguan in the middle of Shu, and Banan County in the west of Shu. This is quite interesting."
Dou Tong smiled bitterly and nodded, "That's it. The role of Banan County is mainly to defend southern Shu. And Yuguan is to defend against foreign enemies."
No wonder, Linjiang County, the second county outside Shu, simply doesn't plan to have it.
"The person guarding Banan is Leng Qiao, a famous general from Shuzhou. He is calm and elegant. He is a general under the King of Western Shu."
“Where is Yuguan?”
"The guard general of Yuguan is called Chen Zhong, who is also a famous general in Shuzhou. The four generals of Shuzhou are Leng Qiao in the west of Shu, Bai Ren and Chen Zhong in the middle of Shu."
"There's another one."
"There is another one...it's me." Dou Tong looked helpless.
"There are so many names that I can't remember them. I only remember that you, Dou Tong, are a famous general in Shuzhou, and the rest of them are just local chickens and tile dogs."
Xu Mu smiled. One day he succeeded in taking over Shuzhou. People like Dou Tong would definitely be reused.
Firstly, it will ease the relationship between other states and the local people, and secondly, it will appease the people of Shuzhou. Of course, all these plans will be carefully evaluated after they are successful.
