Chapter six hundred and fortieth a scene of crying poor
"Of course." Xu Mu nodded seriously, "I, Xu Mu, understand what the leader of the Left Alliance means. If we form an alliance, I, Xi Shu, will definitely have no problem."
Zuo Shiren's face was excited, thinking that his efforts had not been in vain and that the alliance was finally successful.
"By the way, I wonder what the leader of the Left Alliance has planned after forming an alliance?"
"Attack Cangzhou!" Zuo Shiren narrowed his eyes.
Instead of choosing Yuan Song's Laiyan Prefecture, he chose Su Yaohou's Cangzhou Prefecture. This shows Zuo Shiren's determination to unify Jiangnan.
"This is a good idea." Xu Mu's voice was unhurried.
"To be honest, Leader Zuo, I have discussed it with my military advisor before. Leader Zuo, please see——"
Xu Mu took the map and spread it on the desk.
"Leader Zuo also knows that there are two large docks on the Cangzhou River, which are used as training stations for naval warships."
Zuo Shiren nodded, "Exactly. Although the exact number of soldiers cannot be found out, I estimate that there should be more than 50,000 Cangzhou Navy troops."
"Leader Zuo really has a plan." Xu Mu smiled, "That's my plan. When the time comes, I will go down the river from Muyun State to contain the Cangzhou navy. If it's right, the Demon Queen will send out a navy first.
Division, come and stop our Western Shu army."
"Then what."
"As long as we have enough troops, we, Xishu, are confident that we can lure out all the naval forces from the two large shipyards in Cangzhou. By then, the defense line on the Cangzhou River will be empty, and the leader of the Left Alliance will launch an offensive from the lower reaches."
Zuo Shiren did not answer, thinking about the feasibility of the strategy.
"You and I both know that the Demon Queen is good at conspiracy. Although she is a woman, she is extremely smart and may not be fooled. Furthermore, you and I... although we are brothers, like Brother Xu, we gave up the opportunity to invade Cangzhou.
I feel bad."
It's not that I feel bad, I just feel that there is something wrong with it.
"Leader Zuo, it's not that simple. Why don't you and I open the skylight and speak openly? In Cangzhou, how many soldiers does the Demon Queen have hidden in Cangzhou?"
Zuo Shiren laughed and said, "I lost my mind. The Demon Queen has carefully laid out the plan. The entire Cangzhou is like an iron barrel. There will definitely be no shortage of hidden soldiers."
Xu Mu frowned.
The Zuo Shiren in front of me acted like a real brother. In fact, he had a lot of information but was still unwilling to share it.
Make a feather alliance.
The old boy put on a condom seven times a night. If he wasn't careful, he would get into the condom.
"Leader Zuo, what do you think of my plan?"
"At first glance, it seems that there is no problem. Brother Xu, let me tell you this, it was my fault last time, but this time, I really want to cooperate and attack Cangzhou with you."
"If we capture it, how will we divide it?"
Zuo Shiren smiled and said, "I only need one county close to Chuzhou in Cangzhou. In addition, Emperor Ji Yuan will follow me back to Dongling. I really can't bear that a young emperor who is still in his infancy should suffer the disaster of swordsmanship in troubled times."
Xu Mu also started laughing.
Everyone in the world likes to hold the emperor hostage. They think they have orthodoxy, they think they have a reputation for benevolence, and they think that through this so-called emperor, they can respond to everything at once.
But it's not that simple.
In this world, since the death of the young Marquis, there are still a few loyal people who are willing to die to save the country.
Thinking with his feet, Xu Mu could guess Zuo Shiren's plan.
"This is a good suggestion." Xu Mu said lightly, "But no matter what, if you and I want to get what we need, we must first defeat the demon and then take over Cangzhou."
Times were different. Cao Mengde succeeded in coercing the emperor because at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the royal family still had dignity and the Central Plains still had loyalty.
But the current era is in turmoil, with kings from other states and border generals, noble families, and uprising leaders...how many people can he command? Zuo Shiren's behavior is nothing more than grabbing a reputation.
In this case, the biggest disadvantage is to anger another emperor Yuan Song.
Xu Mu wouldn't do such stupid things. He didn't care about reputation or anything like that. The verbal and written criticism of him by noble families all over the world had already made his reputation far and wide.
no point.
"Brother Xu." Zuo Shiren narrowed his eyes, "Cangzhou is like a huge mountain, blocking the edge of the Xiangjiang River. It's not easy to get rid of."
"Of course, if this were not the case, I would not have come to the riverside to wait for the leader of the Zuo Alliance." Xu Mu also laughed out loud.
"Then what does Brother Xu want? Brother Xu will take the lead in this expedition against the Demon Queen. I, Zuo Shiren, am in Chuzhou, and the vast navy is waiting for it. I will wait until the Cangzhou river bank is empty and then kill it. If I take it,
The river will make the next battle easier to fight."
"Leader of the Left Alliance, please don't forget that if Cangzhou is conquered one day, Dongling will only be divided into one county. Of course, if the young emperor's life is not in danger, he will be handed over to the Leader of the Left Alliance."
"Haha, this cooperation between you and me will definitely shock the world." Zuo Shiren's face was obviously filled with excitement.
"By the way, I wonder, Brother Xu, when do you plan to go out to the army?"
"Three months later, there should be no problem." Xu Mu calmly raised his head. Today's Xishu has entered a period of weakness after the cold war. Whether it is the loss of soldiers or insufficient food and grass, it is a common problem of Xishu's lack of foundation.
.
He needs a transition. Whether it is two rice crops a year, or picking cotton for armor, the growth of a cold land foal requires transition time.
If possible, he hoped that there wouldn't be too big a war in Xishu this year. Conquering the cold territory was already the biggest gain.
"Leader Zuo should know that I previously suffered heavy losses from Shu soldiers in order to conquer the Liang Dynasty. To be honest with Leader Zuo, even if I enter Muyunzhou this time, the reinforcements I bring are only a few thousand people. In addition, I, the people of Western Shu, because
There is not enough food and grass, so they have begun to eat bran cakes."
"Three months later, it's too long."
On Zuo Shiren's face, the joy of the previous alliance suddenly disappeared.
"Brother Xu, if the time is too long, I am worried that the nights will be long and the dreams will be many. You also know that the affairs of the Second Emperor will inevitably become more and more troublesome. By then, I am afraid that the people on both sides of the Xiangjiang River will be in dire straits."
"Leader Zuo, let's do this. I have sent a messenger to ask for food from the King of Yuzhou in the inner city. I have been in contact with him for a long time. I think I can borrow food and grass in about two months."
Zuo Shiren's face was expressionless.
Being as smart as him, he didn't know what Xu Mu meant. No wonder, they had a very happy conversation before.
This is a drama about crying for poverty, and the crying is superb. Any temptation to divide the troops, if there is no food and grass for the soldiers, everything is fake.
What's more, this plan seems a bit clumsy, and the Demon Queen may not fall for it.
"Brother Xu, you and I will drink first."
Zuo Shiren calmly put aside the topic and did not jump into the trap of borrowing troops or food. However, the fingers of the hand holding the wine cup were red from excessive exertion.
"I, Xu Mu, have another piece of news." Xu Mu smiled calmly, "Does the leader of the Zuo Alliance know about the gold scraps that were obtained earlier?"
"Of course I know, it's a bad move by a wealthy businessman from Chuzhou."
"No, it's a trap set up by Demon Queen Su. Last year, more than 100,000 people seeking money came up the river, but when they reached the Cangzhou River section, at least 30,000 young people disappeared. I am in Western Shu
After a lot of effort, I finally found out that this was not a dirty move by a wealthy businessman from Chuzhou, but a secret move by Demon Empress Su to mobilize troops——"
Bang.
Zuo Shiren had a cold face and placed the wine cup heavily on the table.
