"Your mother's wolf cub!" Dong Wen, who was riding a horse on the dusty sand, couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
In the past few days, the young wolf general led the Shuzhou army to intercept and used various means to hold back his Liang cavalry army.
If it were a real kill with a real sword or a gun, it wouldn't matter. Instead, he constantly used various terrains, bows and crossbows, and even trip ropes and iron caltrops to hold back Liang Qi's progress.
Dong Wen rubbed his forehead. Ever since he became the king of Liangzhou, even if he was defeated by Xu Buyi, he had never been so aggrieved.
"If one day I catch that wolf cub, I will roast him alive!"
"Lord, information about Muyun Province."
Dong Wen took the letter, but the anger on his face did not disappear. When he opened the letter, he immediately cursed again.
During the time when the march was delayed, Xu Buyi moved too fast. At this moment, he had almost captured most of Muyun Prefecture.
"Then the daughter of the Su family, don't you care?"
Lifting his face, Dong Wen frowned, "Where is the military advisor?"
"Already almost there."
…
Sima Xiu, who also received the information, sat in the carriage and was silent for a long time before sighing.
"Here comes someone."
"Military advisor, what are your orders?" A general came hurriedly on his horse.
"Go and inform the lord and let him return to Liangzhou."
General Pi's face was startled, "Military advisor, we are not far from our lord, but we have to join forces."
"Xu Buyi's actions were too fast. That daughter of the Su family was not a good choice for an alliance. If I guessed correctly, I learned that Xu Buyi captured Yuncheng, and the troops of the Shuzhou wolf generals will return to defend Shuzhou.
The county has been established. I estimate that there will be troops from Shuzhou who will continue to be transferred back from Muyunzhou."
"This Muyunzhou will fall into the hands of Xu Buyi."
In the carriage, Sima Ma lay on his back and laughed bitterly.
"The world is so big, Xu Buyi is a strange person."
…
When leaving Shu, including Chai Zong's, there were 23,400 men and horses, but at this time, when they returned to defend Bailu County, there were only about 15,000 left.
This interception was really difficult. Even if it was successful, it would be extremely tragic. Of course, Liangzhou was not having a good time either. Nearly 7,000 riders died under the constant obstruction.
"General Chao, let's have a bowl of hot soup first." As a guard general, Yu Wen couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he looked at Chao Yi cleaning his wounds.
Dong Wen of Liangzhou was not a mediocre general, he was a vicious wolf who had lived in hiding for twenty-three years. This time he rushed for reinforcements, led by 30,000 Liangqi.
But it happened that Chao Yi really succeeded despite the unequal strength of the troops.
"Brother Yu, what's going on with Chai Zong and Xiao Xiaoyao?"
"Too exhausted, I asked them to go to bed first."
"In this battle, nearly 10,000 Shu soldiers were killed and injured, and it was all my fault." Chao Yi sighed.
Yu Wen shook his head, "If my lord returns to Shu, I will definitely praise you. If it were me, with this mixed infantry and cavalry brigade, I wouldn't be able to retain 30,000 Liangqi. In my eyes, Brother Chao, Yu Wen,
He can be called a hero. On my lord's side, taking down Muyun Prefecture has become a big deal. Brother Chao is indispensable for our first expansion of Shu Prefecture."
Chao Yi smiled with difficulty, "Don't talk about this now, you and I need to be careful, the Liang people will come to attack Shu."
"Brother Chao must have forgotten that there is a military advisor in Shuzhou. With him, the Liang people cannot attack. Of course, to avoid revealing his identity all of a sudden, Military Advisor Jia sent someone a letter. In the letter
He said, let me send some warships and three thousand soldiers to pick up the prisoners in Muyun Province."
"These prisoners have taken off their weapons and put on my Shuzhou robes and armor. If Liangzhou's spies find out, they will definitely be shocked. They just think that I, Shuzhou, have returned to the army."
Chao Yi was startled, "Brother Yu, how many prisoners are there?"
"Probably... Yuncheng has captured seven or eight thousand prisoners. Including the previous ones, there are about ten thousand people. My lord wants to wait for a while before sending them to Nanlin County to work as coolies to open up wasteland. Brother Chao, don't worry,
The troops from Xiaoman King's side will also follow him back through the waterway."
"Master Jia's clever plan."
"Haha, my two military advisors from Shuzhou are both world-famous strategists!"
…
Yucheng is the border gate to the east of Muyunzhou. It is far away from the border of Cangzhou, which is more than a hundred miles away.
According to Xu Mu's wishes, Yucheng's fortifications are being continuously deployed. It is estimated that for a long time, this border city will serve as a barrier for Muyun State.
After defeating Yuncheng, Dou Tong and Ma Yi have divided their forces into two groups to attack the remaining towns. It will take at least one or two months to conquer the entire state.
During this period of time, what Xu Mu has to do is to block the military movement in the direction of Cangzhou. With a high probability, judging from the current situation, the Demon Empress Su will make strict defense a national policy, but no matter what, be careful
The point is always right.
But in the future, there needs to be a character left here in Yucheng. Demon Empress Su is unparalleled in her treacherous schemes, and it is very likely that generals like Yu Wenchai Zong will fall into her trap.
"Bolie, you stay here in Muyunzhou for the time being. I'm not worried about the other people. When the time comes, I will transfer Yu Wen over to cooperate with you."
To be honest, Xu Mu was not willing to leave such a great soldier with the army in Muyun Prefecture. However, the talents in Shu Prefecture were withering, and except for Jia He, no one else was qualified at all. To the east, Demon Empress Su,
Zuo Shiren, even Huang Daochong from Kezhou... one or two of them are like foxes who have practiced for thousands of years.
Dongfang Jing had no objection and nodded solemnly, "I understand what your lord means. In the future, I will sit in Yucheng in Muyunzhou and guard the state for your lord."
If there were an army of 60,000 to 70,000 men, they might be able to bring Dongfang Jing back... After all, it is not easy for people to abandon the path of aristocratic families.
Most of the generals who followed him to conquer the country were born in the wilderness. Wenmou and Jia Zhou came out of the army after the death of their wives, while Dongfang Jing was a cripple and was not appreciated.
However, Xu Mu has no regrets. In other words, if he had not taken this path, how would he have met these two great conspirators.
"Bolie, I know some brick-burning methods. After a while, I will bring in the craftsmen and build a grand pass here in Yucheng. Of course, with Bolie here, Yucheng has become a grand pass."
"I am Xiongguan, my lord... I am the Great Wall in the hearts of the people."
"Bolie, could you say a few more words? I like to hear it."
"Lord, I suddenly feel unwell."
"Bo Lie, I'll beat it for you. I'll talk to you after I've beaten it."
"Lord, don't move your hands!"
…
On the bank of the river, Si Hu, who was riding a horse to see each other off, had tears in his eyes.
"My son Meng Huo, if you go, I will send the white-haired man to the black-haired man!"
"Brother Tiger looks like a fool!" Meng Huo, who was preparing to board the ship back to Shu with thousands of square meters of barbarian camp, cursed and turned around to shout.
"My son Meng Huo, come here, come here!"
Meng Huonu pursed his lips and approached reluctantly.
Si Hu trembled with his hands and took out a pack of oil paper from his arms.
"What is this? It smells so good!"
"Earlier, when I was helping cut wood, I ran a long way to catch a black rabbit, roasted it and oiled it... My son, Meng Huo, gave it to you."
"I've eaten it before." Si Hu opened his mouth and desperately pulled out a shred of meat.
"If you have never eaten it and you are so protective of food, why would you give it to me?" Meng Huo took the oil paper, regained his youthful appearance, and laughed.
"Brother Tiger, when you return to Shu, I will catch a roe deer and treat you to it."
"My son, when I return to Shu, I will catch the tiger and roast it for you to eat."
"I'm not your son!" Meng Huo hugged the oil paper and cursed as he walked forward. He just boarded the boat, but turned around again, his voice was a little crying.
"Brother Tiger, don't fucking die!"
"Your mother is my wife, you are my son, your mother will not die, neither will die..." Si Hu had tears in his eyes for no reason, and he didn't understand why he was like this.
"Then roast rabbit, don't throw it away if you can't finish it. Put the oil in it again...wait, wait until I get back to eat!"
In the river breeze, when the boat was far away, Si Hu licked his mouth vigorously several times.
