In a few days, more than 10,000 troops who returned to Shu rushed back to Bailu County.
As soon as he got off the boat, Xu Mu received another courtesy. Not only Yu Wen Chaoyi, but also Jia Zhou sat in the carriage this time.
The expedition against Muyun Prefecture took more than two months, back and forth. But fortunately, this time the expedition was considered a success.
Of course, as for "clearing the emperor's side and killing the adulterous concubine", smart people will understand what is going on. It is nothing more than a banner for crusade.
But deep down in his heart, Xu Mu really wanted to kill the Demon Queen. However, Demon Empress Su had laid out a plan and wanted to invade Cangzhou. Right now, it was almost impossible.
"Lord, do the sharp troops that suddenly appeared in Cangzhou have any characteristics?" Jia Zhou frowned in the carriage.
Xu Mu shook his head, "The Su Demon Empress has locked up Cangzhou. Even if there are internal agents from the Ye Xiao Group, no news can be spread. However, I have asked Bo Lie to pay attention. If I find a way to find out anything, I will send news."
"There is an extra powerful army for no reason. It can be seen that the Su family daughter has been planning for a long time... The emperor of Cangzhou may be just a chess piece. Again, I vaguely feel that the Su family daughter is planning something.
It would be terrible."
"No matter what, the news from the direction of Cangzhou is the top priority."
Xu Mu nodded.
"It is indeed a good idea to send Yu Wen to Muyun Prefecture. Bo Lie should have said that now that my lord has two prefectures, it is time to think of ways to recruit talents."
The two counselors in Shuzhou are really insightful, and they can see the biggest problem of the Xu family army at the moment.
Now there are only two states. If one day, there will be three states and four states. Although there are old people there, the number is too small, and most of them are reckless generals.
"By the way, my lord, while you were away, Ye Xiao sent information back to Chengdu."
"Where's the information?"
"The King of Yuzhou in the inner city. The King of Yuzhou has raised another army, totaling 80,000 people, and rushed to Huzhou, Hebei."
"Eighty thousand people..." Xu Mu was startled. If I remember correctly, the last time Uncle Chang attacked Hebei, there were hundreds of thousands of people, but this time there were only 80,000. Isn't he too impatient?
"On the border of the inner city, he will eventually keep another army to defend the king of Liangzhou in the northwest... In addition, among these 80,000 people, I heard that veterans of many battles were selected to form a 20,000-strong army.
The name of this elite division of human beings is a little weird, like the Rice Selling Army."
Xu Mu was immediately speechless. Chang Shiro's temper was such that he would do whatever he said. He seemed to remember that Chang Shiro also asked him to do something like this, and even helped him choose a name, called Liquor Army.
"The alliance leader in Hebei, Gongsun Zu, learned that the king of Yuzhou was coming to attack, so he also mobilized his troops and generals, and gathered 150,000 people to defend to the death."
"Twice the enemy, Gongsunzu will fight hard?"
"He is afraid of the King of Yuzhou." Jia Zhou paused, "My Lord, I don't know why, I always feel that the King of Yuzhou's expedition this time will not be as simple as it seems. Maybe... he has a back-up plan, you and me.
Let’s wait and see.”
"If the King of Yuzhou wants to conquer the world, the four states of Hebei are the hurdles he cannot overcome."
"This time, if several states in Hebei are defeated, Gongsun Zu will be miserable."
"This is natural." Xu Mu nodded.
The initial backstab almost caused Uncle Chang to die in a foreign land. There were old and new grudges. If the Hebei Alliance could not hold on, the Gongsun family would probably be exterminated.
…
After crossing the Jijiang River, Chang Shiro was riding on a tall horse, his face full of fighting spirit. Beside him, Chang Wei, who was wearing armor, put the pear gun on his shoulder, looked up into the distance, with the same look of desolation.
The look of killing.
"Young master, don't worry, this round I, Chang Wei, will take the lead and take the dwarf king's dog head for you!"
"Chang Wei, I believe you have this ability. But I have to do this kind of thing myself." Chang Silang smiled, and suddenly, like Chang Wei, he also carried the pear flower wood bright silver gun on his shoulders.
.
The master and servant carried guns and rode horses, chattering non-stop all the way.
Liu Ji, who was in the rear, had helplessness in his eyes. But it was hard to say anything. His master was obviously born in a wealthy family, but he always looked like a rough and tumble man.
"Send an order to send five hundred more cavalry to investigate the sentry. Whether it is canyons, waterways, or sloping swamps, we must explore clearly! This time, I, Yuzhou Heijia, will destroy Huzhou!" Liu Ji suddenly turned around and calmly ordered.
"Don't worry, military advisor!"
The Yuzhou Army with more than 500 riders received the order and ran forward through the dust and smoke.
"Rice-selling army!" Tsuneshiro, who was further ahead, turned around with a spear in his hand.
"roar!"
"I, Chang Silang, only sell rice and do not betray the country! I sell rice without accepting any money. If I join our Yuzhou Black Armor Army, my parents will not be hungry!"
…
After returning to Chengdu, Xu Mu has been paying attention to the war in Huzhou. As an old friend of Chang Shiro, he certainly hopes that Chang Shiro can avenge his shame and fight a beautiful battle.
"Sun Xun, has Chai Zong taken office?"
Sun Xun, who was on the side, hurriedly came over, "I got news the day before yesterday that General Chai has arrived in western Shu and has officially taken charge of the three counties in western Shu. In addition, General Chao Yi has also begun to build a wall outside Yuguan to appease
People returning home."
After capturing Muyun Prefecture, Yu Wen, as the top general of the Xu family army, was transferred to Muyun Prefecture and sat in Yucheng with Dongfang Jing to guard against Cangzhou.
Chai Zong succeeded Yu Wen and took charge in western Shu. Chao Yi was good at fighting in the wild, so it was more suitable to stay outside the Shu road and defend the valley together.
A series of changes in generals, Xu Mu and Jia Zhou, have taken a lot of thought. There is no other way. The only people he can rely on now are these old brothers who have died.
"Brother Mu, Xiao Xiaoyao is back!" Si Hu hurried over. He was also wearing a new and fat robe.
Xu Mu, who was deep in thought, suddenly became happy when he heard this sentence, nodded, put on a brand new robe, and walked out.
A great victory in Muyunzhou.
Not only Chenjiaqiao's side, but also Li Zhiqiu's side also needs to make a proper apology.
"Brother Mu, I don't feel comfortable wearing this robe. But my wife who grabs the steamed buns won't let me take it off. If I do, she'll hit me on the head."
"Don't take it off." Xu Mu was speechless, hesitated, and suddenly thought of something.
"Brother Hu, what are you doing when it gets dark?"
In Xu Mu's heart, he wished that one day Si Hu could carry ten or eight children on his shoulders and no longer talk about steamed buns and goat soup.
Just like him, he is spreading his branches in troubled times. Regarding the enlightenment of certain aspects of education, we should start to grasp it.
Si Hu listened and suddenly laughed, "Brother Mu looks like an idiot. He must go to bed once it gets dark."
"Si Hu, who are you sleeping with..."
Si Hu approached Xu Mu with a mysterious murmur, "Brother Mu, you don't know, my wife is sick!"
"ill?"
"No! As soon as night falls, they drag me into a fight."
"What happened later..."
Si Hu laughed again, "I'm going to run away. I'm going to sleep with Little Dog Fu! She can't beat me, so of course she can't leave me alone!"
"Brother Mu, I am very careful every time. I know she is going to do something bad, so I have an idea in advance!"
Xu Mu was stunned, took off his shoes angrily, and chased Si Hu all the way.
