Chapter 612: Marshal Ironshoe Who Shattered Thirty States
"Lord..."
Hearing Xu Mu's words, Lu Xiu looked shocked. To be honest, he was just a new investor, and his time to invest was less than a day.
But even so, the lord in front of him actually entrusted him with the land of the two states.
What a trust.
"I still haven't thanked my lord, sir." Jia Zhou, who was beside him, also spoke softly.
"Lu Xiu would like to thank my lord again, please rest assured, lord, Lu Xiu is going to die, Baoding Prefecture and Bing Prefecture will not be lost!" Lu Xiu raised his head and clasped his fists, and then bowed heavily to Xu Mu.
"Okay." Xu Mu smiled, "The war in Bingzhou is basically no longer a problem. After entering Bingzhou, the commander must remember to give priority to appeasement."
"I heard that my lord doesn't like aristocratic families, and there are many wealthy families in Bingzhou."
"Don't worry, those who can run will definitely run. Those who stay, then it means that they are willing to accept Shuzhou's decree. The long order, the specific tax rolls, and the policies to calm the people. After they are drawn up, I will have people give them to
you."
"The new weapons and armor of the Dingbei Army will also be sent there in about two months."
Lu Xiu nodded one by one.
After finishing the important matter, Xu Mu asked people to prepare a banquet to welcome the wind, but he never thought that Lu Xiu, who was worried about Dingbeiguan, came in a hurry and returned to Dingzhou in a hurry.
…
"Wenlong, do you have any questions?"
"You don't need to doubt anyone, and you don't doubt the people you employ. There is no problem. But as the lord's staff, I need to say one more thing. Lu Xiu can be regarded as half of Concubine Wan's natal family."
Jia Zhou just clicked. Xu Mu had already understood that what Jia Zhou was worried about was that Lu Xiu would become more powerful in the future and join Li Dawan in seizing the treasure... This kind of thing has the same chance as buying a lottery ticket.
, which is approximately equal to none.
Of course, as a military advisor, Jia Zhou had nothing wrong with vaccination.
"My lord is not like other princes, or noble families, or nobles, who have cultivated the land for many years and made their families prosperous. My lord's main branches need to spread out many branches and leaves."
Jia Zhou glanced at Xu Mu meaningfully, with a look that said, "I urge you to drive piles."
For a moment, Xu Mu was stunned, and then thought of Li Dawan's wolfberry soup.
…
More than a month later, Yu Wen took more than 30,000 people and began to return to Muyun Prefecture.
The battle to attack Liang has now swept through nearly half of Liangzhou. It is faster than Xu Mu expected.
"Lord, General Chao is back!"
Xu Mu's face was filled with surprise when he heard the news. Chao Yi had been outside Shuzhou for more than three months since he pretended to defect.
"Greetings to my lord." Chao Yi walked back to the military tent. Even though he wiped his face, he could not wipe away the desolation and vicissitudes of life on his face.
"Okay, I didn't misjudge the person." Xu Mu hit Chao Yi on the shoulder. Si Hu next to him also took the opportunity to take action, hitting Chao Yi so hard that he almost fell over.
"Brother Tiger, the stakes are getting harder and harder."
Si Hu blushed with shame, chattered a few words, and quickly stepped aside.
"Lord, Fu Xun, the old thief, has already planned to move out of Yumen Pass." Chao Yi sat down and drank two cups of tea.
"Moving out of Yumen Pass?" Xu Mu was a little funny. When he joined forces with Dong Wen before, he was very arrogant. But now he is running out of Yumen Pass.
"I originally wanted to pursue another wave, but the number of troops was too small, so I had to give it up for now."
"It's already pretty good." Xu Mu started to help Chao Yi fill up the tea.
This time, it was Chao Yi who repeatedly used extraordinary troops to make his great cause of conquering the Liang a success.
"By the way, my lord, I heard from the intelligence that a group of Western Region cavalry came earlier?"
Xu Mu frowned, "It's not wrong."
This sudden appearance of the Western Region cavalry almost caused the Shuzhou army to suffer a great deal.
"My lord, I was wrong."
Xu Mu was startled, "What?"
"This is not the cavalry of the Western Regions. The real Western Regions can only be reached in two months from Yumen Pass. I estimate that this cavalry is probably a mixed army of tribes outside Yumen Pass, relying on the oasis. But it is not the case.
The Qiang people are probably a wandering political power in the Western Regions... In short, during this time with King Yu Dang, I finally understood that the relationship between the countries in the Western Regions is very complicated."
"However, there is no need to worry, my lord. If the dogs from the Western Regions dare to cross the border, I will definitely pluck out their hair!"
"Not urgent."
Over in the Western Regions, we will have to imitate the Silk Road of later generations and create a trade route. If nothing happens, it will be safe and sound.
"By the way Chao Yi, didn't King Yu Dang come?"
"Previously, Lao Yu followed me to intercept and help the tribe, and was hit by an arrow in the arm. At this moment, he is still recovering from his injuries in the tribe. When I returned to Liang, he was afraid that my lord would not keep his word and chased my horse.
, I came here hurt and crying all the way."
"This time, the last eight thousand warriors of the Yudang tribe... fought well, and more than half of them died in battle."
"He has made great contributions, and I will not be stingy with rewards. I will send a messenger later to tell King Yu Dang that as previously agreed, let him choose a place outside Liangzhou and prepare to settle down. At that time, Shuzhou will
Send out craftsmen to help him build the city."
This move not only rewarded King Yudang, but also made the Yudang tribe the sentinel in the west of the Central Plains. Of course, this was only a temporary plan.
"If Lao Yu knew about it, I'm afraid he would cry again." Chao Yi laughed out loud, "My lord doesn't know, he still wants to marry one of his daughters to me."
"But I thought, after all, he is from the Qiang tribe, and the act of sacrificing a daughter is nothing more than using my hand to tightly hold the lord's thigh. So, I didn't want to... Besides, I am a bit too proud."
The latter sentence probably accounts for five points of the reason.
Xu Mu had a strange look on his face, "This time, King Yu is completely loyal. However, since he is a vassal, he must have the necessary things."
"There must not be a second Beidi in the land outside the Pass."
Xu Muhui would discuss the specific restrictions with Jia Zhou and then send them to King Yudang.
"I heard that my lord... made me the young master of the state and made me king. No matter what, Chao Yi is grateful." Chao Yi knelt down and clasped his fists.
This kneeling was not only a way of expressing gratitude, but also a way to show his long-cherished wish and realize his gratitude to King Bingzhou.
Xu Mu looked at the young general in front of him and liked him even more.
"Chao Yi, after conquering the three states of Liangdi, I, Shu State, will have a land of good horses. I want to set up a heroic cavalry army. From now on, you will lead the heroic cavalry army and become the first cavalry general in Shu State."
No one will find this appointment surprising. Chao Yi has already proven his riding ability in battle after battle.
Of course, in the future, Xu Mu will teach him everything he can to make this still young wolf general become an iron-hoof marshal who will shake up the thirty states in the world.
If there are no famous generals in the world, then we should cultivate them slowly. Yu Wen, Chao Yi, Chai Zong, and even Fan Lu, Han Jiu and Weifeng, these loyal and loyal followers will eventually grow up. One day, they will become world-famous generals.
"Chao Yi, thank you, Lord."
Chao Yi solemnly clasped his fists, his resolute face resounding.
