The Nanlin Mountains stretch for more than a hundred miles, connecting the Anling Mountains of Muyun Prefecture to the east and the barbarian desert to the west. They form an inverted arc shape, perfectly wrapping the entire Shu Prefecture. This is why, before entering Shu,
At that time, Xu Jiajun was in many difficulties.
If we don't get help from Dou Tong, we first enter southern Shu and then attack the Banan Pass. Otherwise, we may not be able to take control of Shuzhou until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
At this moment, Dongfang Jing's plan to drive away guests is already clear.
Drive these tiger barbarians out of the Nanlin Mountains, and then build a city wall in the narrow valley. In the years to come, the expelled tiger barbarians will no longer be allowed to enter Shuzhou.
There are tiger barbarians in the thirteen counties of Shuzhou. Even if Xu Mu wants to do something, he must take the harm caused by tiger barbarians into consideration.
This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.
"Ma Yi, lead the Liennu Battalion and cooperate with the friendly forces to surround the Human and drive them out of Shuzhou."
There are not many generals.
Chen Zhong guarded Yuguan. Fan Lu stayed in Bailu County and helped Dou Tong train the navy. Chai Zong stayed in western Shu and served as Yu Wen's deputy general. For example, if Yu Wen went on an expedition, this time Chai Zong would be in charge of military affairs.
Wei Feng cannot move, he will definitely become a general of the cavalry in the future. Zhou Zun, a few former horsemen, have begun to help manage the mining and horse farms as they grow up.
Chen Sheng is the logistics commander.
Xu Mu has already made plans to promote several younger generals of the Xu family army. Ma Yi is among them.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to my mission!" After receiving the order, Ma Yi clasped his fists in the air.
"Let's go."
To avoid accidents, Xu Mu still left 5,000 people to stay at the base camp. The remaining ones were all dispatched.
Four thousand-man virtual armies, with the help of war drums, frightened many tiger barbarians who were rushing east and west in a panic and retreated again. They had no choice but to follow the fleeing troops all the way north.
"It's a success." Dongfang Jing rarely smiled.
Xu Mu also relaxed slightly.
Although this journey seems to be going smoothly, in reality, there are still more than 200,000 tiger barbarians, 170,800,000. Even if we just won a big victory on the back of the mountain in the south, only 20,000 to 30,000 people died.
The tiger barbarian.
Xu Mu suddenly understood a truth, it is better to block than to sparse. Of the more than 200,000 tiger barbarians, even if only a few tens of thousands were left to flee and stay in Shuzhou, it would be a disaster after all.
But the expulsion from the Nanlin Mountains has a different meaning.
"I dare to ask my lord, how is the terrain near Nanlin?"
"Of course it's good."
Although the land under the Nanlin Mountains is not as good as that in central Sichuan, it is not too barren. It is close to water and bathed in light. After the wasteland is opened, it can really become a land for rice cultivation.
"Bolie's previous intention was that he wanted me to establish another county under the Nanlin Mountains."
"Exactly. War relies on nothing more than excellent weapons and armor and abundant food and grass. If these two things are available, coupled with the lord's literary, Taoist and military strategies, there is no need to worry about great things happening."
"Bolie, you have been in Shuzhou for a long time, have you ever heard of where there is a saltpeter mine?"
"Saltpeter mine?"
Dongfang Jing pondered for a while, "My lord may not know that a hundred years ago, Emperor Ji Xuan, who built the Cloud Tower, was obsessed with refining elixirs in order to seek eternal life, and recruited tens of thousands of elixirs. He also sent people everywhere to dig many saltpeter mines.
Make alchemy."
"There aren't many of these left."
"However, if I guess, there should be things like iron ore in the Nanlin Mountains. The weapons of the tiger barbarians come from them."
"Bolie, you and I want to go together."
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "My lord, don't be anxious. If the pacification of the tiger barbarians goes smoothly, my lord will start to actually accumulate food and forge weapons."
This step is what Xu Mu wants.
Starting from a humble beginning, he fell far behind in the end.
Unlike Chang Shiro, I guess he already has the support of many aristocratic families.
Unlike Dong Wen, although it is a bit strange to be able to ascend to the throne and become the king of Liangzhou, he is the son of the royal family after all.
Of course, heroes don't care about their origins. It doesn't make much sense to be obsessed with these things. The only thing you can do is to secretly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to take off.
"My boss, my boss, Brother Tiger has all been led to the north!" Gong Gou hurried over, his voice filled with joy.
Xu Mu nodded, turned around and smiled, "Bo Lie, as you said, the plan worked."
After expelling the barbarians and stabilizing Shuzhou, it's time to stand on a high place and overlook the situation in the world.
"This chaotic world is just like the changing winds and clouds in the sky. Whether it is clouds or clouds, if we cannot persist until the end, they will eventually disappear."
"That makes sense."
…
"Surround! Surround!"
High in the Nanlin Mountains, in all directions, there are war drums and the roar of Shu soldiers.
The hungry and cold tiger barbarians were furious, but they were like scattered sand, and they were instantly defeated.
"How many Shu troops?" An older Human Cave Master kept looking around with his eyes wide open.
"Master of the Cave, the entire Nanlin Mountains are surrounded by Shu troops! There may be 100,000 of them!"
"Some slaves investigated and learned that King Xu Shu had an army of 100,000 and attacked our tiger barbarian tribe."
The faces of several cave masters gathered around were all pale.
"If spring comes and the tribe is not short of food, how can it lose to the Shu people?"
“It’s not like we can’t get rice during autumn raids!”
"The Shu people also poisoned it."
"Even the skull of my tiger god's warrior was snatched away by a fool! Eight more were broken into pieces!"
"First chase that fool, snatch, snatch back the totem!"
Under the leadership of several cave masters, they were like a pile of scattered tiger barbarians. They didn't care at all and followed them to the north.
Hachihachi.
Si Hu covered his head and was panting while running.
In his arms, there were only three warrior bones left, one of which was half broken.
"Brother Tiger, get ready to get to the edge!" After Meng Huo finished speaking, he also started to say "Hachihachi".
"The army behind is about to surround these tigers and barbarians!"
"Xiao Menghuo, what about these things?"
"Brother Tiger, take it first - Hey, Brother Tiger is injured?"
Si Hu's face looked horrified, and he immediately raised his hands and kept checking up and down. When he found that it was just a cut by a dead branch, he laughed again.
Pong pong, pong.
"Brother Tiger...those skulls."
Si Hu was startled, then lowered his head and saw that the skulls of the last three tiger barbarian warriors were completely shattered.
Somewhere behind, the tiger barbarian who was a little tired from chasing him paused. Seeing this scene, his eyes immediately turned red again. He screamed crazily a few times and rushed towards him desperately.
The throwing ax whizzed behind him.
"Brother Tiger looks like a fool!" Meng Huo cursed and immediately started running with "Ha Chi Ha Chi".
Pingmanying, who was following the escort, glanced at Si Hu, his face was speechless, and he hurriedly followed.
"Run to the mountain road and lure the tiger barbarian dog out of the southern forest!"
Mrs. Luan Yu ran very fast and passed by Si Hu. She couldn't help but knocked down a chestnut.
Si Hu screamed, covered his head and started chattering, shouting greetings as he ran.
Like a rising tide, more and more tiger barbarians gathered. Crazy roars resounded through the entire mountain forest. Accompanied by the war drums of the Shu army behind them, and the military chants one after another.
