"The power of Jijiang River is not suitable for water warfare. Looking at the whole world, only the Xiangjiang River area can maintain naval forces."
"Back when Emperor Gaozu was fighting for the world, he captured the last remaining two states of Ling and Wu, but the enemy held them for more than four years with their naval forces." Jia Zhou spoke in a deep voice.
Xu Mu understood this truth. If not for this, the ancients would not have had the concept of dividing rivers and governing them.
"Zuo Shiren has completely gained momentum. Even if one day he returns to Lingwu Prefecture, he will still have a chance to defend it and settle down in a corner. But my lord is different. The greatest advantage of Shu Prefecture is the Tianfu Granary. This kind of prefecture and land,
It is easy to become the wing of the world, and it is also easy to be turned into a trapped beast. The situation of the Liangzhou and Cangzhou royal families can no longer be allowed to press forward step by step, and the plan must be broken."
Xu Mu understood what Jia Zhou said.
Earlier, he told Chao Yi that it won't be long before another war breaks out in Shuzhou. This battle will break the situation.
If they win a big victory, it is very possible to attack Muyun State in one fell swoop.
Therefore, this is also the reason for forming an alliance with Zuo Shiren. It is too difficult for only one Shu state to face the siege of five enemy states.
"It's not appropriate for Shuzhou to keep its troops stationary." Xu Mu thought for a while and said. If he keeps his troops stationary, when there is a sudden movement, it will easily arouse the enemy's full alert.
"My lord, does it mean that the soldiers are tired?"
Xu Mu shook his head, "It's not a tired soldier."
In fact, it is more like a "wolf is coming" concept. Mu Yunzhou has been nervous, but there is no chance.
It's like if you have a roommate who gets a new girlfriend who is eye-catching at first, you will definitely scold her and be unwilling to accept it. But he changes every two days, and she is so eye-catching and charming. I guess your whole heart is numb.
I want to be independent from the world.
Of course, Xu Mu did not expect to win Muyun State with such clumsy tricks.
"If the direction of the waterway is to go down the river, it will be easily discovered by the enemy." Xu Mu frowned, "But over the Anling Mountains, the mountain roads are dangerous and rugged. It may be more difficult to cross the mountains."
Dongfang Jing, who had not spoken for a long time, hesitated and said, "My lord, there are many herb collectors in Chengdu. If not, I would like to go and visit them to see if there are any who know the shortcut."
"good."
…
"There are four eagles stationed in Muyun Prefecture. Queen, don't worry, it won't be a big problem." Yuan An, who had just finished his work, walked into the imperial study room wearing a dragon robe.
Since his queen became pregnant, he has played more wildly and understood the benefits of being an emperor. The more beautiful concubines basically cannot escape the favor of the emperor.
He has not been in the imperial study room for a long time.
With his extremely intelligent queen taking care of the memorials, he felt more comfortable being a hands-off shopkeeper. These matters could only be hidden from the aristocratic families in Cangzhou.
"It's late at night, Queen, please go to bed early." Yuan An sat down and said a rare and affectionate sentence.
Su Waner put down the memorial and suddenly sighed.
"Queen, could it be that something happened?"
"Recently, Shuzhou has gained a lot of troops. I am worried that the commoner thieves will become more and more difficult to deal with."
"Then... what should we do?"
Yuan An's hatred for Xu Mu was unforgettable. Unfortunately, he couldn't suppress it once or twice.
"I have an idea." After saying just one sentence, Su Waner suddenly stopped talking and her face became silent again.
"The Queen said so."
"Let's talk about it next time."
Su Waner stood up and called Gong E to change her clothes.
"It's already night, the queen still wants to go out?" Yuan An was startled.
"There are rebels in Cangzhou. I will go and have a look. Your Majesty will stay in the palace and rest early."
Without looking at Yuan An again, Su Waner just put on her clothes and walked quietly out of the palace. The quick sword Ah Qi swept down from the glazed tile roof and quickly guarded her side.
Outside the Cangzhou Little Palace, the night was overwhelming.
Only a few scattered vendors set up stalls selling snacks. Before they sold a few bowls of snacks, stick men rushed out of the alley, covered with linen and started looting.
"At the feet of the Emperor——"
Before he finished speaking, the hawker was hit with a sap and fell to the ground. Several of the hawkers snatched the money and dispersed in a rush.
Sitting in the carriage, Su Waner watched coldly, without being touched at all. In such troubled times, the Central Plains should have been over long ago. If it hadn't been for the little marquis named Yuan, who had been forcing his life to continue.
It doesn’t matter if you monitor the country and kill corruption, or it doesn’t matter if you fight in the south or in the north, there is no way to save it in the end.
The fast swordsman outside the carriage was equally indifferent. His eyes rarely showed any emotion, unless the people in the carriage suddenly smiled at him.
Tread.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of a magnificent mansion in the south of Cangzhou City.
When getting out of the car, Amelia Su changed into a black robe.
"Master, he is in the yard. Seventeen members of the Su family have been arrested together."
Amelia Su did not answer.
When Kuai Jian Ah Qi entered the house, he raised his cold eyes and closed the two doors tightly.
In the courtyard of Su Mansion.
The dozen or so people kneeling on the ground suddenly became panicked when they saw Su Waner walking in. Especially the leader, Su Dagui, kept knocking his head to the ground, causing blood to ooze from his forehead.
"Dad shouldn't be like this." Su Waner sighed and stopped in front of Su Dagui.
"Earlier, I told my father that you only have one daughter, not two."
"Wan... Master, if you let the Su family go, I will leave Cangzhou immediately and find a place to hide from the world for generations to come."
"It's already too late. Someone in Kezhou has started to investigate."
A faint murderous intent emerged on Su Waner's face.
"You know what kind of person I am. If trouble comes, I will cut it off."
She waved.
Outside the yard, a henchman pushed an ugly girl with disheveled hair into the yard.
"I've said it before, you only have one daughter. She should have died long ago."
"The Su family is full of people, and Xi Zuo, who was infiltrated by Shuzhou, retaliated and threw fire. None of the queens who left the palace survived."
Su Waner turned around and walked out quietly.
Kuai Jian Ah Qi and more than a dozen of his henchmen in black began to pour jars of kerosene onto the Su family.
Su Dagui was in pain and his voice was dry and weak.
"I know you want to eradicate the root cause and eliminate future troubles, but if it hadn't been for me that year, you would have died long ago... You witch, you don't have a good death!"
Su Wan'er's face was expressionless, and her pace did not slow down at all. She walked out of the house, and the entire Su Mansion began to burst into flames.
In the midst of the fire, the Su family members, who were tied and kneeling in the yard, screamed in agony.
Walking back to the carriage, Su Waner drank a cup of tea.
When she put down the teacup, she turned around and glanced at the raging Su Mansion, her face still showed no sadness or joy.
"Ah Qi, take the people away."
Kuai Jian Ah Qi responded and blew a whistle. A dozen men in black disappeared into the night outside Su Mansion.
The carriage started moving again, but the wheels probably hit something and went straight away, leaving two dirty ruts. This chapter has been completed!
