A group of men and horses marched hurriedly towards Chengdu in the morning light. Only when they got closer did the silent scribe at the head raise his head and looked at the big city of Shuzhou in front of him somewhat absentmindedly.
"Sima Military Advisor, we have arrived in Chengdu! We have arrived in Chengdu!"
"I'm going to break Shuzhou!"
Six or seven thousand Liang soldiers were all roaring wildly. Starting from Liangzhou, they climbed over mountains and ridges all the way, and used tricks to bypass the Pingman camp. The hardships involved are self-evident.
"It's really here..." Sima Mao said quietly, with no trace of sadness or joy in his voice.
"Military advisor, the advisor's apprentice, Mr. Wei Qiu, is extremely resourceful. He has already taken Chengdu and guarded several city gates! We are just waiting for the advisor to enter the city!"
"Okay." Sima Xiu raised his face and looked at the morning sky over Chengdu. It was about to enter winter, and the sky became darker and darker.
Shuzhou is empty. After defeating Chengdu, all they have to do is wait for the Liangzhou army to attack and attack Yuguan. Then the battle for Shu will be complete.
If Xu Buyi wanted to return to the defense for rescue, the Liang army would also be blocked. On the other side of Muyun State, the Cangzhou Demon Queen was restraining him, so the cripple did not dare to move.
This plan is becoming perfect.
"Enter the city!"
"The military advisor has ordered the army to enter the city!"
Sima Xiu stood with his hands behind his hands and watched Liangzhou's soldiers rushing towards Chengdu City like wolves and tigers.
…
Outside Lucheng, Xu Mu was very reluctant to leave.
"Wen Long also wants to go in person?"
"I have to go." Jia Zhou's face was calm, and he raised his hands to say goodbye to Xu Mu, "My lord, don't worry, Sima Xiu is like a turtle in a jar. I am going here to catch the turtle and offer it to the Lord."
"It's not that I'm too cautious, but this opportunity is once again rare. If another accident happens and Sima Xiu escapes back to Liang, I, Shuzhou, will probably be dead."
"My lord, although the war in Lucheng has been calmed down, Dou Tong has also led people to take Wenlang City. But my lord needs to be careful. The Liangzhou army will definitely come towards my lord and block my steps to enter Liang."
"Under the current situation, my lord can use Chai Zong's extraordinary army. Whether to defend or retreat, or go deep into the hinterland of Liangzhou, I know that my lord has already made a plan in his heart."
Xu Mu remained silent. The military advisor in front of him had already left him the best plan.
"If the Pingman camp can be used and can block Sima Xiu's retreat, I will ask Chao Yi to quickly come back and help Lucheng."
"Farewell, my lord."
"This time, I, Jia Wenlong, will catch this Liangzhou fox with my own hands!"
After just saying that, Jia Zhou bowed his hands, and then walked into the carriage with a cane. Fan Lu, who was behind, also lit up a long queue of 5,000 people and quickly followed the carriage.
"Wenlong, be careful!"
Xu Mu raised his head and watched the carriage leave. Even though he was reluctant to leave, he understood that Jia Zhou was not wrong. With Simao here, his strategy to conquer Liangzhou would be extremely difficult.
…
Shuzhou, Yuguan.
After receiving the information, Chen Zhong's face was full of horror.
"General Chen, what's wrong?"
"Sima Xiu made a surprise attack on Chengdu and has entered the city!"
"General Chen, how is this possible? There is a plain barbarian camp on the mountain——"
"The Pingman camp fell into the trap first, and then fell into an ambush. It has been blocked behind... I will leave a thousand men and horses, and you will stay at Yuguan. You must be careful."
"General Chen, there is still a Liang people's vanguard camp outside."
"It is not the vanguard camp of the Liang people, it is used by Sima Xiu to contain Yuguan. The military advisor will return to Yuguan soon. You must cooperate with the military advisor to drive back the Liang army outside the city!"
"General Chen, then you——"
"A certain person with four thousand people must rush back to Chengdu immediately!" Chen Zhong turned around and looked in the direction of Chengdu. This time, it should be regarded as the most dangerous contest between the top military strategists of the two states.
However, there is still one gratifying thing. That Chao Yi is indeed a strange army set up by the Lord.
"Let's go!"
For a time, Chen Zhong was in agitated mood and led four thousand Yuguan soldiers towards Chengdu.
Han Jiu and Sun Xun, who were near Chengdu, were extremely eager to avenge their crimes and perform meritorious service. At this moment, Han Jiu was still seriously injured. If it had not been a fatal battle between his personal guards during the ambush, he would have been ambushed and died miserably.
Of course, in his opinion, it was purely a result of a treacherous trick and the loss of the city gate, rather than the layout of the poisonous owl strategist.
"It's cold at night during the spring supper. Sanniang is holding a lantern in her hand in anticipation of my arrival. Just waiting for the rain to disperse and the clouds to close, Sanniang is frowning..."
"Brother Han, are you singing to flatter Sanniang again?"
"If I don't sing one round, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to sing again."
This sentence made Sun Xun next to him remain silent for a moment. Even Chen Que, who was following him, also sighed silently.
Just like water flowing from all directions, it will eventually converge into Chengdu. It is a precursor to the turbulent water, but it is still extremely calm. It was so calm that Sima Xiu, who was good at judging the situation, had an ominous premonition in a trance.
It wasn't until someone called him that he silently raised his head.
"Greetings to the teacher!" Wei Qiu hurriedly came over and knelt down to worship.
"Get up." A rare smile appeared on Sima Xiu's face. No matter what, he really liked the disciple in front of him.
"After the situation in Shuzhou is settled, follow me back to Liangzhou and serve as the second seat. With your talents and skills, it won't be long before you can take charge."
Hearing this, Wei Qiu became even more excited. But for a moment, he thought of something else.
"Ashamed of you, teacher, the Chengdu Royal Palace... has not been captured yet."
Sima Mao was neither sad nor happy, "I have received information about the palace. I am a little curious about what kind of young man, leading an army of two thousand, can stop you."
"Do you know its name?"
"I heard that he was called Little Dog Fu. He was originally from the village of Commoner Thief."
"This is... even the name. It seems that Xu Buyi has the foresight after all and has been secretly raising the general."
"But please don't worry, teacher, this young kid is almost unable to resist."
Simujia didn't answer immediately. He raised his head silently and looked around the city of Chengdu.
When he left Liangzhou, he had been telling his lord that this trip would be risky. What he meant was not that he was a barbarian camp, or that he was a puppy, but that he was afraid of being tricked.
He wouldn't worry about ordinary people at all. Even if he is a cripple from the East, he can defeat him. There is only one person he worries about.
This person is not Xu Buyi, but the rumored dead Poison Eul.
People who are close friends have been fighting each other for a long time.
In the cold wind that was about to enter winter in Chengdu, Simiao wrapped his body in a large cloak and walked quietly towards the palace.
…
Outside Shuzhou, there is still a long way to go to Yuguan. Among the long troops marching in a hurry, a carriage was surrounded by them.
Jia Zhou half-closed his eyes, as if he was deep in thought, or as if he had fallen asleep. It was not until a long time ago that he opened his eyes, which were filled with fierce murderous intent.
He was careful enough, even with the armies coming back from all directions, they waited until Sima Xiu had completely entered Chengdu before setting off.
He tried his best to shake the foundation of Shuzhou, and made this plan just to let Sima Xiu die in the urn.
