Four days later, Xu Mu personally led the team and began to search for traces of the remnants of Liangzhou's army to the west.
The most anxious one was Si Hu. When he heard the news of the expedition, he hurriedly pulled his horse and followed.
"My lord, according to the information previously detected, the sudden cavalry has left from the direction of Yumen Pass. In other words, Dong Wen's cavalry support is gone."
Chen Zhong came on horseback to report the latest information.
"That's right. The strategist is indeed a master of calculation." Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of rushing for a while, he got a better reward.
"Chen Zhong, have you found Dong Wen's whereabouts?"
"Don't worry, my lord, as long as Dong Wen remains in the desert, he can only hide in the stone forest in the desert."
Desert landscapes sometimes form large and small stone forests, which serve not only as a habitat for travelers, but also as a nest for sand wolves.
"Brother Mu, let's agree first that I, Sihu, will chop off this head. I almost succeeded before, but another cavalry appeared!"
Xu Mu's face was speechless. What the hell, the steamed bun boy turned into a Gu family maniac in the blink of an eye.
"Chen Zhong, after entering the desert, he divided his soldiers into two armies and captured the remaining Liangzhou army!"
This time, Xu Mu brought more than 20,000 men and horses, which was more than enough to deal with a lame Liangzhou remnant army.
…
The number of remnants of the army has become very small.
During the past few days in the stone forest, Dong Wen was confused and had no idea what to do.
"Lord, more than three hundred people rebelled. They rebelled out of the camp and went to Liang to surrender."
"Let them go. When I, Dong Yixiao, ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, these people will never be used."
"Lord, please stop talking crazy things."
"What crazy talk?" Dong Wen gritted his teeth and grabbed the collar of the robe of the general in front of him, "You mean to say that I, Dong Yixiao, cannot be the master of the world?"
"Lord!"
Not only the subordinate generals in front of him, but also many loyal soldiers gathered over, kowtowed to Dong Wen with tears in his eyes, and urged Dong Wen to cheer up.
"Get up, get up, that's not right... I will be in peace, and all the ministers will be in peace. I, Dong Wen, will create a new dynasty. I will name the country Daliang and the year Zhongwu. I will appoint Sima Xiu as the founding prime minister, Zhuo Yuanzi as the Taiwei, Dong
The captain is the general on the pillars and beams... He and the rest of them are all rewarded."
"You still don't want to thank me for your gratitude? You should say long live the three times."
In front of Dong Wen, countless Liangzhou soldiers wept bitterly and knelt down to worship him.
A loyal and loyal old general couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in shouting, "Your Majesty...Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live."
"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Haha, okay, I have a reward. I want to reward you with the best thing... citrus, where are my citrus?"
"Tangerine."
After finding Tangerine, the little Liang King, who had been hiding for twenty-three years, was as happy as a child.
"Lord, the Shu people are coming to kill you!"
"Bold, I am the Nine-Five Lord and the Lord of the World!"
"Your Majesty... the Shu people are coming to kill us!"
"Common thief, common thief! Quick, cavalry immediately, I have an army of 150,000, I have elite Liang cavalry, Dong Yuan, where is Dong Yuan! Where is the general!"
…
"Kill them!" Chen Zhong, who was wearing armor, coldly commanded the army, surrounded the remaining Liangzhou army in two directions, and surrounded them near the stone forest.
There were no traitors in the Liang soldiers, but they all had the courage to protect their lord and desperately stood in front of the stone forest.
The sky was full of flying arrows, and Liang Jun fell into a pool of blood with his eyes closed one by one.
"Lord, there are less than two thousand Liang troops left."
Xu Mu nodded silently. He also understood that Jia Zhou's plan was not only to retreat suddenly, but also to surrender many soldiers.
This remnant army of Liang people is no longer anything to worry about.
"Can Dong Wen be found?"
"My lord, you are in the stone forest, seemingly crazy..."
"crazy?"
Xu Mu frowned and led the people, stepping over the corpses one after another, to the vicinity of the stone forest.
"Kill Xu Buyi!" An old Liangzhou general, with a few hundred men on foot, wanted to kill Xu Mu with bows and arrows.
Thump thump thump.
The Shen Gong battalion, which had been prepared in advance, shot down the rising soldiers with their walking bows.
"Guan Zhou bids farewell, my lord!" Liangzhou's old general Pi, who had fallen to the ground, raised his face full of blood, cut his neck with a knife, and died spurting blood.
Xu Mu was silent for a moment, and continued walking forward without any further hesitation.
"Protect the lord!"
There were only about two hundred guards left, swords drawn horizontally, standing in front of Dong Wen who was sitting paralyzed.
Three waves of flying arrows passed by, and the last two hundred loyal soldiers fell to the ground.
"Yi Xiao." Xu Mu raised his head and shouted hesitantly.
"Common thief, common thief!" Dong Wen, who was holding tangerines in his hands in a daze, suddenly became furious, "I am the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I am the lord of the world! You dare to rebel! You are so brave!"
Xu Mu was silent for a moment.
"In the year of my mother's death, if I was given oranges, I wouldn't fight for it. They didn't understand that I, the day I killed my father, didn't dare to sleep the whole night. You don't understand that after my eldest brother died, I secretly
I went to his grave and knelt there for a long time. And my second brother, when I killed him, my heart trembled so much——"
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come and it's time to ascend the throne. Please sit on the dragon throne." Xu Mu sighed. Looking back, he found Si Hu, who was holding an axe, also a little confused.
"Yes, yes, it's time for me to ascend the throne!" Dong Wen looked ecstatic, laughed three times, straightened his body hurriedly, seriously, and sat on a stone pile.
"See Your Majesty."
Xu Mu closed his eyes and turned around. Whether he was really crazy or fake, Dong Wen must die for the great cause of Shuzhou. In other words, if he loses this battle, many people in Shuzhou, including himself, Jia Zhou, Chen
Zhong, Yu Wen, Fan Lu, and even Jiang Caiwei in Chengdu... will also die.
There is no right or wrong, there is only success and failure.
Si Hu, who was behind, seemed to understand something. He held the ax and started to walk forward. Not long after, a cry of pain resounded.
Xu Mu stopped, opened his eyes, and looked up at the sky above the desert.
"Shuzhou!" He raised his arm.
"Shuzhou!!"
Behind him, more than 20,000 soldiers roared loudly. Every face was full of longing for the future.
