Four hundred and seventieth chapters the world benevolent name
In the Linjiang area to the north of Chuzhou, several large cities were already riddled with holes. Even after a long time, there still seemed to be vague smoke filling the air.
"The Lingzhou army is invincible!"
"My lord is famous for his benevolence in the world. If he were to be a king, he would definitely be a benevolent emperor for eternity!"
In the Chinese military tent, a middle-aged man with an elegant face was not angry when he heard the treasonous talk outside, nor did he stop it.
He smiled lightly, held up a cup of tea, frothed the tea three times, and then took two sips.
"My lord, are you really going to go this time? That Shuzhou king is not a powerful person. He is sitting in the southwest and is about to be surrounded. He wants to ask my lord for help."
In the military tent, many counselors and generals were a little puzzled.
Zuo Shiren put down the tea cup and said, "You don't understand. After we captured Chuzhou, there was a mountain blocking our way forward. If we want to move this mountain... I can't do this kind of thing. So, I
You need to find someone to do it."
"That King of Shu is the best candidate."
"My lord is renowned for his benevolence throughout the world and should be a role model in troubled times."
"Look, you're praising me again." Zuo Shiren stood up, his tall and straight posture carried the majesty of a superior with every step he took.
"Heroes in the world include Chang Xiaotang, the overlord, Dong Wen, the cub of Liangzhou, Lu Song, the flying eagle of Xiaozhou, and the little boss from Shuzhou who dares to fight and kill... there are many, many of them, which can be called troubled times.
A hero. Even Huang Daochong, a wallflower in Kezhou, counts."
"Whoever comes to the end will usher in a new dynasty. This is an eternal principle."
Zuo Shiren paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, stared in the north direction, and added, "Of course, there are still a pack of wolves in the north... I wanted to go when they rejected Beidi. But you all know that it happened to be
There is a big disaster in Lingzhou, otherwise Zuo Shiren, who is famous in the world, will lead his troops to drive out Di Man."
"My lord, you are famous all over the world!"
"Change your clothes. It's time to set off. I'm going to meet the little King of Shu for a while. The war in Chuzhou has basically stabilized. The five armies entering Chu are notified not to massacre the city. You should know that our mausoleum
The state army is a benevolent army."
"I will be back in about seven or eight days."
"Lord, how many people do you want to bring with you?"
Zuo Shiren thought for a while and said, "Eight thousand people. Leave ten thousand people behind, outside the Kezhou border, to respond at any time."
"It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I can't die. In these troubled times in the Thirty States, there will eventually be a wise ruler who cares about the common people and usher in a new dynasty."
"My Lord, you must be the Ming Lord."
"Look, you are praising me again."
Zuo Shiren laughed, and under the guidance of his guards, he put on a dazzling golden jumpsuit. Then, he stepped elegantly and walked out of the military tent with dozens of guards.
…
"Steamed buns? Brother Tiger, you've eaten them all! Where can I find them for you?" Ma Yi shouted, "We've just crossed Xiangjiang River, and you've already eaten more than twenty of them."
"I am young and growing. Brother Ma Yi, there is fragrance in your robe."
"Er Cui secretly gave it to me..."
Looking into Si Hu's eyes, Ma Yi finally couldn't bear it and took out a bunch of small grilled fish.
Xu Mu, who was riding on the horse and also smelled the aroma of grilled fish, immediately knew that Ma Yi was about to die.
as expected.
After taking Ma Yi off the horse, Si Hu couldn't tear open the trousers, so he simply picked up the horse and ran into the forest.
"Brother Tiger, if you eat alone, be careful of getting sores!"
"Eat rebirth!" Si Hu's voice came faintly.
Xu Mu also wanted to scold his mother. Just when he was about to speak, he found that the bow dog who was exploring the road ahead had already returned to his horse.
"Longbow, what's going on?"
Going straight ahead is the inner city, and turning right is Kezhou. Kezhou is not very big, with only three counties in total, and there are many swampy areas in the state. It cannot be used as a small granary. At most, it is a small granary.
There are two criss-crossing Laoguan Roads, which have become a transit place for horse trading and business.
No one is king in Kezhou. There is only a family named Huang, with a group of small nobles, sitting in the three counties of Kezhou.
"Lord, there are refugees from Chuzhou in front of us. There are about ten thousand people."
During the war in Chuzhou, it was not unusual for refugees to appear. What’s more, this was still a troubled time.
Could it be that Zuo Shiren, who is famous in the world for benevolence, did not care for the people?
"Long Gong, sent someone to inform the refugees that they could enter the Sichuan land and follow the land reclamation. They would be given three meals a day. They would be given dental cards and allowed to build their own houses."
Population is productivity. If he had a piece of land like Shuzhou when he rejected Beidi, and he could recruit more refugees, there would be no harm.
"Lord, don't worry."
Changwu continued to move forward. After a while, he followed Gongou's words and saw scattered refugees at first. Then, further back, there were a large number of refugees fleeing forward.
It was probably Gonggou who sent someone to inform them that many of the fleeing refugees had turned away in the direction of Bailu County.
"Ma Yi, send some dry food. If anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos, they will be driven away immediately!"
The three thousand fierce Shu soldiers who followed them were all veterans who were killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If ordinary people saw them, they would be intimidated.
After distributing a round of dry food, Xu Mu remounted his horse in silence and continued moving forward with the people.
It was approaching dusk, and in the gloomy twilight, in his ears, he could hear the rapid footsteps and the cries of women and children among the refugees.
He has seen scenes like this many times. But every time, it was heart-breaking. He once lived in a prosperous era, and then came to a troubled era. Without comparison, there is no harm.
"When it prospers, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer."
"Brother Mu, what are you thinking about? The grilled fish is not bitter and is very fragrant." Sihu ran back with the horse on his back and picked his teeth with a twig.
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, then swallowed a chestnut.
…
The journey from Bailu County to Kezhou was about six hundred miles. There was no urging, and it took nearly four days to reach the border of Kezhou.
To be honest, this is Xu Mu's first time in Kezhou. Of course, if they are not doing business and selling horses to make money, not many people are willing to come to such a miasmatic place.
"Longbow, send a few more teams to investigate nearby."
"Ma Yi, you also send people to find a place with a mountain behind and set up camp first."
Behind, Fan Lu led an army of ten thousand people. They were not far away. If there was any disaster, they would be able to escape unscathed if they were handled properly.
But in Zuo Shiren's reply, he only said that he wanted to sit down by the river with him and talk about the world together.
This sentence is very nice to say, and somewhat has the style of a literati.
But if you really want to regard Zuo Shiren as a refined scholar, you will probably suffer a huge loss.
Xu Mu only hoped that this meeting with Zuo Shiren could set a direction. At least, the siege of Shuzhou could be temporarily relieved.
Being attacked from both sides, Shuzhou's current accumulation and foundation seems to be a bit too much for him. He used to be a wolf, willing to cut himself off, and dare to fight and kill. But it is different now. What he looks up to is the vast country in front of him.
Already.
In order to seek a kingdom, all it takes is one big defeat to make his Xu family army completely withdraw from the stage of competition. This chapter has been completed!
