Unable to wait for the injury to heal, Yin Hu put on an animal skin mask to cover his burned face, propped himself up, and began to follow Xu Mu on the expedition.
Xu Mu tried to persuade him, but he couldn't do it at all, so he had to let him go.
Even though the Liang campaign was imminent, Xu Mu still did not give any public orders. He only secretly summoned a group of close generals and began to make plans.
"Sun Xun, if a fly flies out of the training ground, I will ask Brother Tiger to knock you directly."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xun, who was still picking his nose in the palace, hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran to the training ground in person, staring at the remaining generals.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The internal agent was probably very capable, and up to now, he still didn't show any flaws. He was worthy of the name of Sima Xiu's disciple.
"Meng Huo, you lead an army of ten thousand people and follow the green mountains outside Chengdu to the direction of Liangzhou. There is no need to hurry. The task of pacifying the barbarian camp is to guard the mountain roads of Shuzhou."
Afraid of Sima Xiu sending troops to Qidao, Meng Huo's army is indispensable.
"Brother Mu, otherwise... I will go with my son." Si Hu begged.
"I won't take you with me." Meng Huo rolled his eyes, followed the order and walked back.
Si Hu was very hurt and pursed his lips in grievance, thinking that if Meng Huo said a few more words, his loving father would cry.
Xu Mu coughed twice and continued to speak.
"Fan Lu, this time you are the infantry general, leading ten thousand people to the Yuguan Walled City first."
"Fan Lu takes the order!"
Yu Wen is in Muyun Prefecture and cannot come back for the time being. Chai Zong went to Ding Prefecture, and Chao Yi also joined the Qi Army. Currently, only Fan Lu is the most suitable general in Shu.
In addition, Dou Tong will also send 15,000 infantry to march to Liangzhou from another route.
"Wei Feng."
Wei Feng, who was standing at the end, suddenly heard his name, and his face suddenly froze.
"You take five thousand cavalry and escort the food, grass and baggage along the way."
"Lord, I, I lead troops?"
"If you don't do it, I will replace you with Si Hu."
Si Hu, who was still a little aggrieved, hurried over and whispered something pleadingly into Wei Feng's ear.
"Lord, of course I want to do it!"
Si Hu cursed and stepped back. Before leaving, he did not forget to kick Wei Feng's feet.
Originally, the most suitable cavalry commander was Chao Yi... Unfortunately, this wolf general was involved in the vortex of conspiracy due to Sima Xiu's vicious plan, and could not return to Chengdu to lead the troops for the time being.
"I am in charge of the central army, and I also have a mixed brigade of 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and I will send troops to Liangzhou together!"
"This time, our goal is not necessarily to capture Liangzhou City, but at least to capture the two border counties of Liangzhou."
The two border counties of Liangzhou are the closest to Shuzhou, but they are still five to six hundred miles away. Among them, there is also a buffer area of more than a hundred miles.
Unlike Shuzhou, Shuzhou has the natural danger of Yuguan, while the two border counties of Liangzhou can only build walls and guard them heavily.
According to Xu Mu's estimate, there are still more than 100,000 troops in Liangzhou. It is a taboo for military strategists to attack large numbers with a small number. However, according to the intelligence received, before the matter of supporting the tribe is solved,
At least half of Liangzhou's troops will be placed on the border near Yumen Pass.
What it means is a staggered time difference.
Just as Jia Zhou said, this is the best opportunity for a surprise attack in Shuzhou. If not, when spring comes next year and Dong Wen puts down the Fuxun Rebellion, it will probably become more and more difficult.
"Winter is approaching, and it's bitterly cold in Liangzhou. We, the officers and soldiers of the three armies in Shuzhou, should each bring three more coins of chili pepper seeds as a warming agent."
There is also winter robe sore ointment, etc. Chen Sheng will find a way to send it to the front line while he is at the back.
All in all, this time, even if Liangzhou cannot be taken, Dong Wen must be caught off guard. In this way, all these layout plans will not be wasted.
"Lord, what am I doing, old Han?" Han Jiu, who hadn't heard his name for a long time, became a little anxious.
"Han Jiu, I will leave five thousand people here, and you will be stationed in Chengdu. The Little Man King is not far from Chengdu. If there is any disaster, please discuss it with him as soon as possible."
To be honest, Xu Mu was worried. He originally wanted to keep Jia Zhou. But then he thought about it. Sima Xiu, an old fox, was probably the only one who could deal with Jia Zhou. Moreover, Dongfang Jing still wanted to stay with Yu in Muyun Prefecture.
city to stop the Demon Queen's tricks.
"Han Jiu." Jia Zhou suddenly spoke.
"Military advisor, what's wrong?"
"If something goes wrong, you can discuss it with my disciple."
Han Jiu was startled, "Uncle Fu, the puppy? Military advisor... He, he is a young boy."
The ancients had their hair tied at the age of fifteen, and those who had not yet tied their hair were considered to be young children. Xu Mu once asked Xiaofu's age, and he seemed to be only twelve years old.
However, Uncle Gou Fu, who wanted to practice peerless magical skills back then, has really given up martial arts and followed literature... Moreover, Jia Zhou's vision is surprisingly vicious, and he has been recommending Gou Fu.
Suddenly, Xu Mu felt a little more hope in his heart. Perhaps in ten years, he would really have a world-famous general.
"Exactly." Jia Zhou said with a smile on his face, "If you are ambitious, you are no longer young. The puppy Fu has grown up."
Han Jiu had a strange look on his face, "Commander, I have time. If I have time... I will ask him."
"It couldn't be better." Jia Zhou nodded and stepped back again.
"Han Jiu, remember this. You must be extremely careful when guarding Chengdu this time. In addition, you must not mobilize any more manpower at the training ground."
"Master, Lao Han understands!" Han Jiu hurriedly clasped his fists.
Xu Mu nodded happily and continued to speak.
"Most of your generals will not be traveling with you during this expedition to Liang. You can choose close friends and give them personal tokens to serve as your generals."
Xu Mu had to be careful. He was already very sure that among the thirty or so people at the training ground, there must be a Liangzhou secret agent.
There are not many people in Shuzhou who have been promoted based on military merit. The calculation system for military merit is also very simple. From the time Xu Mu became the king of Shu, it was not necessary for the owl to cut off his head and ears. When the battle came, the general would allocate a long army, and there would be an army.
Participate in the record book nearby. If the enemy army is completely wiped out, it is the merit of the whole army. If a certain battalion is brave enough to break the enemy's defense line, it is the merit of the whole battalion. Secondly, there is the merit of one sentry.
The merits of many people, the merits of five people...
For someone like Si Hu, who jumped and killed with an ax on his back, it was a one-man effort. Si Hu's accumulated military exploits were enough to eat white-flour steamed buns, the kind dipped in meat sauce, for eight lifetimes.
Although this kind of military merit system is easy to use and not expensive, it also has disadvantages. For example, if a traitor is revealed, it will be very difficult to find out. The interaction of military merit and common interests involves too many levels.
"Everyone listens to the order. In this attack on Liang, everyone should perform their duties and defeat the Liang army!" In the palace, Xu Mu drew his long sword and pointed coldly in the direction of Liangzhou.
All the generals in the palace had excited faces and roared endlessly.
