With the death of Dong Wen, the entire Liangdi Prefecture fell into a leaderless state. Information from various counties and counties kept flying in like pieces of paper.
"The young master of Bingzhou brought by Chao Yi earlier can be put to great use, my lord. We will strive to pacify the three states of Liangdi within three months!"
After listening to Jia Zhou's words, Xu Mu nodded calmly.
At first glance, it seems that this is the general trend in Shuzhou, but there have been many incidents of long nights and many dreams throughout the ages.
"Wen Long, I want to add two more troops to Liangdi."
Today, there are only more than 20,000 troops left in Lingju Pass. The previous army has been dispatched to attack the three states of Liangdi from all directions.
Chai Zong, Fan Lu, Yu Wen, Dou Tong, and even Chao Yi who was preparing to return to the army... Xu Mu knew very well that everything would change before he completely swallowed the three states of Liangdi.
"My lord, there are not many Shu cavalry left. If we send people to attack now, if we march with infantry, I am afraid it will be slow."
The more than 10,000 Shu cavalry brought out from Shuzhou were almost exhausted at Shelangqiu, with only more than 2,000 cavalry remaining. The previous total of more than 100,000 Shu soldiers, even if they were laid out layer by layer, more than 30,000 people were killed.
According to Xu Mu's original intention, after gaining an advantage, Yu Wen was asked to return to the army immediately. But now that the troops were stretched thin, he could only write to Dongfang Jing, asking him to delay for a while.
"I know, but it's not appropriate to delay it any longer. I plan to let Chen Zhong and Yin Hu each lead another seven thousand people, divide them into two groups, follow the direction of Zhaowu County, and sweep through the counties on the western border of Liangzhou."
Zhaowu County is located to the west of Liangzhou, bordering the desert and overlooking Yumen Pass in the distance. Due to dry water and barrenness, as well as the occasional Qiang intrusion, the population is not large. In such a large county, there are less than 3,000 households.
people.
But Xu Mu understood that in the future, Zhaowu County would be a strategic place in Liangzhou. If you advance, you can conquer Yumen Pass, and if you retreat, you can defend the three states of Liangzhou.
Furthermore, there are several Liang horse racing farms in Zhaowu County, which are even more important.
"Since my lord has this intention, it's okay. However, the soldiers of Shuzhou must be careful not to kill the people of Liang too much. After all, in the past, the three states of Liang were also the places that my lord relied on."
"Wenlong, this is natural."
In Liangdi, there are still many counties and counties that are loyal to the Dong family. Especially those with powerful families, knowing that Xu Mu does not like the family, I am afraid they will rebel. In addition, there is also the Fuxun tribe of the Xiqiang people, who were previously
Even if the one who was marrying Dong Wen was blocked by Chai Zong, there would still be twenty to thirty thousand Scimitar Riders anyway.
Jia Zhou said that within three months, the three states of Liangdi would be taken down, which is already a very optimistic figure.
"Over there in Lucheng and Wenlang City, let Shangguan Shu mobilize five thousand rebel troops to enter Lingju Pass."
With this kind of transfer, the two border cities of Liangzhou are almost empty. But according to the current situation, Lingjuguan is the springboard for further expedition to Liangzhou.
"When I enter Liangzhou City one day, I should pay homage to the old King of Liang, so as to repay him for cooperating with the young marquis Qingjun's righteousness."
"As it should be."
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and stood at Lingju Pass, looking into the distance. Having conquered the three states of Liangdi, he, a small shrimp, could be considered a big fish in troubled times.
In the future, based on the war horses of Liangdi, we will continue to trade with the Western Regions. We will only wait for the opportunity one day to lead the army of Shuzhou in the west to conquer the world.
"My lord, since you already have the foundation to strive for hegemony, after conquering the cold territory, can you change to a royal flag?"
"Change the royal flag?"
"My Lord rules several states in the west. How about being called the Overlord of Western Shu?"
"Wenlong... you are getting more and more nice when you talk. I can't bear this name." Xu Mu's expression was strange. Most people can't bear the nickname "Bawang".
It's possible for Uncle Chang. As for him, even though he is the chief helmsman, he doesn't have the ability to be heroic at all. After thinking about it, I might as well forget it.
…
"What the hell... is this really unreasonable?" In the Chinese army tent in Huzhou, Chang Shilang put down the file, stared at the old counselor next to him.
"I just arrived in Huzhou and he killed the Dong thief?"
Liu Ji stood by and nodded bitterly.
"With several pieces of information, there should be nothing wrong. King Xu Shu lured Dong Wen into battle, and in the battle of Shelangqiu, he wiped out 70% of Dong Wen's troops. Among them, there were 40,000 to 50,000 Liangqi."
"How did he fight in this battle?"
"Hundreds of modified baggage vehicles were piled up into a large formation. The first wave suppressed Liangqi's momentum. Then it was delayed until nightfall, and the force was encircled and suppressed on all sides. This grand plan... Poisonous Eagle must be involved
of."
There was an unspeakable flavor in Liu Ji's tone.
"Once Dong Wen dies, there will no longer be any big trouble in the three states of Liangdi. In the end, he will be taken away by King Xu Shu."
"I know that my lord is unwilling to give in. Now King Xu Shu has completely gained strength. In time, he will use the three states of Liangdi to raise a cavalry army. I'm afraid that by then——"
"Haha, not bad, not bad." Chang Shiro smiled.
"My lord, in the future, King Xu Shu is likely to be a formidable enemy! If you follow my advice, while King Xu Shu's foundation in Liangdi is unstable, he should defend Huzhou and send his army into Liangdi to rob the three states of Liangdi.
!”
"Zhongde, this is not good." Chang Shiro shook his head, "I know what you mean. But you haven't understood yet. I don't want to force the little boss to become an enemy."
"In other words, if I had to choose between the Four Dogs of Hebei and the Little Boss with an unstable foundation, I would definitely choose the Four Dogs of Hebei. I have said before that it is easy to be played by the Little Boss when fighting against them.
Death. I very much hope... that I won't fight with him in the future."
The old counselor was beside him. He didn't know what to say for a moment and nodded hesitantly.
"My little boss is a ferocious tiger. I discovered it when he was still making wine. Don't look at him looking sick, waiting for you to approach with a knife. Good guy, I'll bite off all the eggs for you."
"Lord, watch your words."
"Zhongde, I already said it very gently." Chang Shiro yawned and didn't bother to think anymore, "My boss moved too fast, I have to work harder. Send the order and let the generals prepare to enter the army.
Discuss. This time, I want to twist off Gongsun Zu’s dog head and hang it on the donkey’s crotch as a big egg. Hey, I will whip the donkey, and the donkey will run away with it hanging - "
"Lord!"
Chang Shiro chuckled, fearing that Liu Ji would be really angry, so he hurriedly stroked the old counselor's goatee.
"Zhongde, don't be angry. Just smile and prepare for a military meeting."
Liu Jidui made a bitter face.
My lord is good at everything, but he is so full of ambition and arrogance. I don’t know where he learned it. He is obviously a son of aristocratic family, but in the end, he turned into such a person.
But even so, my lord is still the lord of Mingxiong.
Don't you see, Chang Xiaotang is both civil and military, and he is bold and brave like a king.
"I, Liu Ji, am willing to assist my lord in conquering the four states of Hebei!"
