Instead of relieving his lovesickness first, Xu Mu took Jia Zhou and Dongfang Jing into the palace first to discuss the next matter.
"Wenlong, are there any military reports from outside the state recently?"
Jia Zhou thought for a while and shook his head, "No, as expected, once winter comes, the war is almost over. Shuzhou is okay, there are not many places where it snows. But many states in the north are already covered in heavy snow.
covered."
In snowy weather, it is almost impossible to have a big fight.
"Teacher, please have tea." Dongfang Jing, who was standing next to him, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jia Zhou with difficulty.
This action made not only Xu Mu but also Jia Zhou look a little pleased.
"There is no need for this, Bo Lie. From now on, you can be regarded as my lord's great planner."
"Without the teacher, Dongfang Jing would still be just a lame man copying books." Dongfang Jing looked serious.
"Then... I'll drink it." Jia Zhou nodded, took a few sips from the teacup, and then slowly put it down.
The atmosphere in the palace no longer had any barriers at this time.
In fact, in Xu Mu's mind, of his two strategists, Jia Zhou was good at general strategy and battlefield layout, while Dongfang Jing was more suitable as a strategist accompanying the army, assessing the situation on the battlefield and making clever plans.
Both are his arms, one is indispensable.
For example, Shiro Chang had won the support of the nobles in the inner city, and he must have countless generals and counselors. However, no matter what, he would always take the "nine-fingered" Liu Zhongde with him to make suggestions at any time.
"Spring has begun, my lord, you can choose." Jia Zhou's voice began to become serious, "It does not mean that we must go to Shu to fight. It is also a good thing to choose a potential ally as a backing."
After the beginning of spring, according to the situation at the end of this year, as the Cangzhou royal family loses its authority, I am afraid that the fighting will become more and more fierce, everyone wants to be the emperor, and everyone wants to fight their way out.
The best candidate is undoubtedly Uncle Chang.
But Uncle Chang is a bit far away, and there is also the vast Xiangjiang River. If there is a fight in Shuzhou, it is estimated that there will be no time to rescue him.
Of course, when Xu Mu insisted on entering Shu, he had already given up the support of his inner city. Occupying Shuzhou was the best way for him.
Even if two counties outside the state were captured——
But as long as Yuguan is not lost and Banan City in southern Shu is not lost, he will have the opportunity to continue to make a comeback.
It's not that he wants to be a dog of success and seclusion in the state, but he understands that under the general trend, the small Shuzhou in his hands is not enough after all.
"Over at Muyun Prefecture, the Xia King Li Zhiqiu, I estimate that he will be able to occupy the entire Muyun Prefecture before summer next year." Jia Zhou continued.
"Didn't Cangzhou send a large army?"
Jia Zhou smiled and said, "No. The terrain of Muyun Province is not suitable for defending. That Su family woman is very smart, so she persuaded Yuan An to move to Cangzhou. At least in Cangzhou, there are still a few buildings that are close to each other.
The border city at the Horn, and the support of a large number of aristocratic families."
"Cangzhou Four Eagles?" Xu Mu sneered.
"My lord, you still remember."
"I dare not forget that the leader of the Four Eagles is named Zhang Shun, the person who killed Mr. Chen. I hope that one day, I, Xu Mu, will carry the heads of the Su family daughter and the Four Eagles to Mr. Chen's grave to pay homage."
"I wish this day would come."
In the palace, the faces of the three people all became expectant.
Cangzhou is the imperial state. The day Cangzhou is conquered, the last Yuan Dynasty will be completely destroyed.
The dragon's power has been lost, and no one in the world will be so foolish as to support a mediocre emperor.
"Li Zhiqiu is not the best candidate for alliance." Dongfang Jing, who was next to him, suddenly spoke hesitantly.
"Bo Lie, you know this and why."
"In his heart, he didn't care much about the people's livelihood. I heard that when food and grass were in short supply, the Xia'er army occupied the fields and cut rice, causing thousands of people to starve to death."
Xu Mu frowned and looked at Jia Zhou.
Jia Zhou nodded calmly, "It is true, Ye Xiao sent information."
"Mr. Chen's original words were indeed correct." Xu Mu sighed.
What Chen Jiaqiao said was that Chang Silang wanted to be emperor, and Li Zhiqiu wanted to change his country. Only he, Xu Mu, took the path of "putting the people first and leveraging the hearts of the people to win the world."
"All kinds of heroes are coming out, each with their own methods. After next year -" Jia Zhou paused in his voice and turned to look north.
"After next year, the King of Yuzhou may really conquer the four states of Hebei. Together with the original states, it can be regarded as a big fish in the land of eight states."
"That man with nine fingers, I estimate, will use this momentum to find a way to make the King of Yuzhou famous all over the world."
"World famous?"
"For example, let's let the King of Yuzhou be the leader of the world's separatist regime." Jia Zhou sighed, "This kind of position will be easy to convince people over time. It's a pity that my lord started late."
"Teacher, there are advantages and disadvantages." Dongfang Jing said quietly, "If this is the case, having the identity of the alliance leader will tie your hands and feet. You can only act as a mediator. If you are weak for a moment, you will be in despair."
"Look at the choice of the King of Yuzhou. He is ambitious, but his ambition is not too crazy. If my lord conquers many states in the future, please don't forget a word."
"Wenlong, what are you talking about?"
"The world belongs to the people of the world."
"Before the situation is over, it does not belong to the Chang family, nor to the Xu family, nor to the Yuan family. Whoever comes to the end and stands at the end is the real person in the world."
"Xu Mu is taught." Xu Mu nodded seriously and listened to Jia Zhou's teachings.
"If my lord doesn't want to form an alliance, he can only rely on the natural dangers of Shuzhou and continue to accumulate food and cast weapons. He only waits for one day to leave Shu and compete in thirty states."
Xu Mu also became silent.
Not counting Chang Silang, he had two choices, one was Li Zhiqiu from Muyun Prefecture, and the other was Dong Wen, the young king of Liang Prefecture.
Dong Wen won't talk about it anymore, but he feels uncomfortable when he thinks about it. A hero who has been hiding for more than 20 years is easy to get along with. In addition, there is a fox to help him.
As for Li Zhiqiu, he couldn't say why, and he didn't want to form an alliance.
There is no such thing as a combination of verticality and horizontality. Anyone who can reach this point is not a simple person.
Xu Mu remembered a sentence from a distance.
When a whale falls, all things arise.
The whale is not the Daji royal family, but the Young Marquis. Once the Young Marquis dies, there will be no one left to maintain order in the world.
While the young marquis is here, he will not raise troops to enter Shu, Chang Silang will not rebel, and Dong Wen will continue to hide his clumsiness. The chivalrous king Li Zhiqiu will not even allow the knights from thirty states to gather together and openly oppose the young marquis. One by one.
The appointed generals and many noble families, whether they are dragons or tigers, must be kept close to home.
Only one person, like a majestic mountain, stands in the last sunset, supporting the crumbling country and the country.
It's a pity that things and people in the world change in a hurry like the wind and clouds in the sky, without even having time to think about it carefully.
All gone.
