"My son, look at it, he stabbed me in the butt with Qi Ba Jian, it's rotten!" As soon as he returned to the city, Xu Mu heard Zhuge Fan's howling.
"Senior suffered—"
"You give me tea, father!"
Xu Mu gritted his teeth, poured a cup of tea, and held it up in front of Zhuge Fan.
"The eight-sword butt seems to be worth it in exchange for a big boy."
"My son, if you recognize him, are you abandoning your father?" The old scholar bulged his eyes and began to cry bitterly.
Xu Mu slapped his face and had to offer another cup of tea.
Chen Datie, who was nearby, coughed twice.
Everyone on the left and right was played to death by these three old men, Xu Mu ignored it, poured another glass, and presented it to the old blacksmith.
"The father is kind and the son is filial." Zhuge Fan looked up to the sky.
"One son and three fathers are the talk of the world."
Xu Mu only hoped that when the rotten scholar who wrote about unofficial history mentioned this issue, he would not write it in a big way. Instead, he would write "thirty, three hundred, this is the best commoner in the world," and simply change it to "the best in the world."
"Forget it."
"Should I take people into southern Sichuan?" Fan Lu was washing his beard when his hand suddenly slipped and cut off half of it.
The long knife trembled and fell to the ground.
"Xu, General Xu, wuwu, I will order troops tomorrow."
"More, bring more people from the village. When you get there, there will be brothers from Shunan to pick you up. Remember to walk slower when crossing the plank road."
Xu Mu turned around sharply. Behind him, Fan Lu, who was more than eight feet tall, picked up his beard and burst into tears.
…
Jia Zhou's departure forced Xu Mu to stay in Bailu County temporarily.
As he expected, Dou Tong's letter requesting to join the alliance was rejected with ridicule by the two puppy kings in Shu.
"My lord said that although he was refused to join the alliance, the two kings of central and western Shu still allowed me to provide grain, grass and baggage from southern Shu to jointly defend against foreign enemies." A soldier from southern Shu who reported the news stood in front of Chen Jiuzhou, cupped his fists and spoke.
They didn't agree to form an alliance because they were afraid that the army from southern Shu would invade central Shu. But those who brought food, grass and baggage were clearly treating people like fools.
This is good, at least many people know that the land in southern Shu has not reached an alliance with the Xu Family Army.
"Go back and tell your prince that you must be extremely careful about things over there."
When the Shunan soldiers left through the back door, Xu Mu frowned again and fell into deep thought.
The crisis is definitely still there.
The small court in Cangzhou, after he defeated Chen Changqing, seemed to have figured it out and wanted to target him to death.
In the direction of Muyun Prefecture, Li Zhiqiu led the Xiaer Army and was still taking the opportunity to attack the city and seize territory. Up to now, he had captured less than half of Muyun Prefecture.
Of course, all this news was brought here by Chen Jiaqiao.
The three states in the Xiangjiang area vaguely seem to be falling into war again.
"General Xu! General Xu!" Fan Lu hurried back. His beard turned into a goatee. At first glance, Fan Lu looked much more refined.
"What?"
"Someone's ferry is coming!"
"There are people ferrying people across the Xiangjiang River every day."
"Lord, that's not right. It's the brothers patrolling on the river who came to report that the King of Yuzhou has entered Shu!"
Xu Mu was suddenly stunned.
He stood up hurriedly and walked towards the river bank. As expected, it was still a little far away, and he recognized Chang Shiro's careless appearance. He was not wearing a robe, leaning on the bow of the boat with his legs crossed, and he was probably humming a tune.
Son, shaking his head.
Next to him, little Chang Wei danced and waved at them like a fool.
…
"So, Master Chang went to Shu to find a lost old mule?" Xu Mu was speechless.
Either it's the dog's thirtieth birthday, or he's looking for a mule. This is clearly the case, and he doesn't even bother to think of an excuse.
"Here you go." Chang Shiro didn't bother to explain, so he took a small wine jar from his arms and pushed it in front of Xu Mu.
"I brewed my own plum wine. I thought that little Taotao likes to drink it, so you should like it too."
Xu Mu took it with a smile.
"There has been no fighting in the inner city for a long time, and I was a little bored. I thought you were not dead yet, so I came over to take a look. I almost forgot that I actually have an old friend who is fighting life and death in Shuzhou."
Saying that, Changshiro turned around and looked at Sihu who was eating steamed buns.
"This silly big guy, in the past year, it seems that he can't grow long just by eating."
Si Hu bulged his eyes.
Chang Wei, who was next to him, hurriedly took out the roast chicken.
Only then did Si Hu chuckle, his worries turned into joy, and the two of them walked out, holding each other back.
The door is closed.
Chang Shiro rubbed his forehead and said, "I know everything about Shuzhou. You fought well in the battle at Fushan. That bitch Chen Changqing lost such a huge momentum in vain."
"I heard he died miserably."
"No one thought that the puppy emperor would really dare to set up a killing spree. Of course, there was someone behind him."
"It's the conspirator."
"Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise, do you think that Yuan An's stupid brain can come up with such a trick? Let me tell you, he moved the capital to Cangzhou, where there are old and noble families who are loyal to the emperor. He made the right choice. He got a good staff.
"
"Hehe, there are five plans in the world, and your Mr. Dongwu is also on the list."
Xu Mu smiled slightly.
Today's Xu Jiajun, Jia Zhou is his biggest helper.
"My little boss, have you ever thought about where you will go if you occupy Shuzhou one day? To the east of you is the rising Xia'er army, which can also be regarded as your ally."
"Could it be that you want to go north to attack Liangzhou? Liangzhou was supported by Xiao Taotao at the beginning. With 30,000 border troops, they dared to borrow 20,000 troops to enter the inner city."
Xu Mu shook his head, "I don't have any big plans for the time being."
Changshiro pursed his lips, "After all, he is a young tycoon who is about to rise, and you are hiding it from me."
"Tsk, this is the first time I see you. You are still in the Li Mansion, and you are worried about the food for brewing."
"In the blink of an eye, you started to gain momentum."
Xu Mu wanted to hear the meaning behind the words, but in the end he couldn't.
"On this trip to Sichuan, you can help me find some shipbuilders, the kind who build fighting ships and plows. The fools in the inner city are too slow."
"Master Chang wants to build a ship?"
"I have this plan. At least I can discipline the river and take advantage of the situation of the river to play a few games. It will be very comfortable."
"no problem."
The Wei family definitely can't choose, there are still quite a few remaining shipbuilders.
"Previously, Xiao Chaotang sent people to Lian Yong's side, hoping to promote him to the rank of Dingbian General." Chang Shilang said angrily.
Lian Yong was originally arranged by Chang Silang to guard against Beidi and defend Hezhou.
It has nothing to do with Yuan An's small court, but everything to do with great righteousness.
"and after."
"Lian Yong didn't care about them, so he asked someone to bring me a message. I thought, deep down in this veteran general's heart, he should also understand the truth. Compared with the broken mountains and rivers, the imperial family and the court that have lost all their majesty are nothing.
What."
Chang Silang was not wrong. At the beginning, Yuan An did not save, the court did not save, and many Dingbian generals also did not save. Only he and Chang Silang, together with the veteran Lian Yong, held back the Beidi army's offensive in the spring.
"My eldest young master, Old General Lian, what did you say?"
"He said that if you spend half your life in the army, you will never forget the national humiliation."
