After working hard all the way, just waiting for Xu Mu to come back, not only Dongfang Jing and Ma Yi, but also Yu Wen came over from Yucheng.
"As long as everything is fine, my lord." Yu Wen wiped his face, hugged someone, and hurriedly rode back to Yucheng.
Xu Mu was stunned for a while.
"Wen Ze is worried about the master... He rides a fast horse and will be back soon."
Xu Mu did not blame him, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and then spoke seriously.
"Bo Lie, take two days' rest. I'm going to the South China Sea."
"Nanhai? Could it be that we want these people to join the alliance?"
"Exactly."
Dongfang Jing pondered for a while, "The states in the South China Sea are indeed worth winning over. However, I heard that the leader of the South China Sea Alliance, the King of Jiaozhou, Zhao Di, has a timid temperament and does not like to get involved in the affairs of the Central Plains."
"No matter what, I want to go there myself."
"The etiquette is in place. If the lord goes in person, it will indeed be more convincing than a letter. However, if the lord goes south to the north, the Demon Queen will definitely find out. In order to prevent the lord from leading the world alliance, she should be able to
Use a lot of evil tricks. More likely, they will be the first to send people to the South China Sea."
Dongfang Jing paused, "My lord, why don't you write a letter first to explain the current general situation to King Jiaozhou. In addition, you must write a few more sentences about King Yuzhou joining the alliance, and write him as the leader of the alliance in the world. It would be best.
"
Uncle Chang is now the biggest wild horse in the world, and he will beat whoever he catches. Furthermore, now that the majesty of the royal family has collapsed, Uncle Chang's appeal is probably even greater than that of the royal family.
"Buriel's clever plan."
Dongfang Jing waved his hand, "In addition, I suggest that the lord's men and horses should not go together. The front one and the back one only need to leave time for support. If there is an interception, the reality can be confused."
Xu Mu nodded.
Many people must have known about his entry into the South China Sea by now. Needless to say, Zuo Shiren's side is now considered his own.
The ones who need to be careful are Cangzhou and even Yuan Song and Tang Wuyuan.
"I'm not worried that Jiaozhou will embarrass the Lord. But there is a quick sword in Cangzhou -"
"Little strategist, please be at ease. That mute dog is coming, I, Sihu, will beat him to death!" Before Dongfang Jing could finish speaking, Sihu, who was standing next to him, had already spoken angrily.
"Speaking of fighting...our Epoch Tiger of Western Shu seems to have never been afraid of anyone." Dongfang Jing smiled.
"Don't worry, Bo Lie, I'm going to take this trip with caution."
Xu Mu's plan to go to the South China Sea this time was to take five thousand troops with him. Going from Chuzhou should be safe. Only the road out of Chuzhou would encounter danger.
"By the way, lord, Zuo Shiren, in the name of the alliance, why not ask him to send a team of troops to escort the lord. I think he should be more anxious than the lord when it comes to forming an alliance."
"In addition, if the Shu army hiding in Wuzhou continues to pretend to be bandits, as long as it does not do evil things, it will not provoke encirclement and suppression. For some reason, I think it is a good thing to keep this army.
matter."
Dongfang Jing's explanation made Xu Mu feel for a moment how comfortable it was to have a great planner as a military advisor.
Two days later, without wasting time, he entered Kezhou via Xiangjiang River, and then crossed the river from Kezhou to Chuzhou. After receiving the letter, Zuo Shiren was already waiting on the river bank early.
At this time, due to the common enemy of Cangzhou, the friendship between Xishu and Dongling was considered strong.
"I heard that my brother is going to the South China Sea and has to travel a lot of mountains and rivers. Every time I think about it, I can't help crying. My brother has worked so hard to form an alliance, which really makes me ashamed." As soon as we met, Zuo Shiren said
It started.
"Leader of the Left Alliance, why not go with us."
Zuo Shiren was startled, feeling that this old routine had suddenly undergone a qualitative change.
"Brother Xu, it's almost autumn, and the weather is quite nice today... By the way, Brother Xu, I'm going to the South China Sea this time. If there's anyone you need help with, it's okay to say so."
"To be honest, Leader Zuo, I am a little worried about going to the South China Sea this time, and there will be trouble in Cangzhou... Why not just send a few letters."
"There is a huge difference between going there in person and talking through letters."
"I worry--"
Zuo Shiren waved his hand to interrupt and frowned, "Brother Xu, I know what you mean. What about this? I will dispatch five thousand mountain Vietnamese troops to go with you."
"How can this be done?"
Zuo Shiren puffed up his face, with an expression like "Don't fucking pretend".
"Be careful. Although the King of Jiaozhou is weak-tempered, he is a smart man and is not easy to fool. In addition, after you leave Chuzhou, there will be Shanyue troops there, so it doesn't matter if you go into the forest and go on your way."
"Fife, come here."
Not long after, General Shan Yue, who was covered in animal armor, stood in front of Xu Mu.
"This man's name is Fefu, and he will go with you all the way. If there is a war, you can just give the order. In addition, Fefu is the husband of my clan sister and is related to me by marriage."
The implication is that you cannot win over.
Xu Mu smiled and said, "Leader Zuo is indeed righteous."
"I know you have worked hard." Zuo Shiren smiled, "No matter what our ultimate goal is, right now, the Cangzhou Demon Queen is our common enemy. You entered Hebei and won over the King of Yuzhou, which is very important to me.
For Jiangnan, this is a grand event."
"Brother Xu, have a cup of farewell wine and cherish it along the way."
Taking the wine cup, Xu Mu raised his head and drank it all.
After waiting to mount his horse and leaving the city gate, Xu Mu looked back and saw that Zuo Shiren had already left early.
Due to interests, if the Demon Queen is defeated, in this land south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to say that Zuo Shiren and Zuo Shiren will become old enemies again.
"march!"
…
There are 5,000 people in Shanyue and 5,000 people in Xishu. Of course, following Dongfang Jing's arrangement, Xu Mu now leads the way with only 2,000 people, followed by 3,000 people.
Of course, for safety reasons, Xu Mu spent the past two days testing Fefu, the mountainous general. He was relieved when he found that this man was basically fine.
However, Zuo Shiren was digging his own grave by attacking him at this time.
"Has General Fei been to the South China Sea?"
Feifu is an old fool. When he heard Xu Mu's words, he laughed innocently and said, "King Shu, I have never been there. However, I heard that people over there in the South China Sea are like savages, eating raw hair and drinking blood. They are uneducated. Compared with the people in the mountains like mine,
The Yue tribe is even worse."
"When I became a Yue country, the Jiaozhou area also had to submit to my Yue country." After adding a sentence, Feifu showed a yearning look on his face.
"General Fei, are there Yue people in the South China Sea?"
"Yes, when the Yue Kingdom fell, they were divided into several groups. The group in Dongling lived against the mountains and was called Shanyue. But the one on the other side of the South China Sea lived near the sea and was called Haiyue. King Shu, I
But let me tell you, the Haiyue people are very ferocious. There was a fish plague in the South China Sea more than ten years ago and there was no food to be found. These Haiyue people dare to eat people."
"The King of Jiaozhou doesn't care?"
"He can't defeat Haiyue, so what does he care?" Feifu laughed, "Only the King of Ren can make me and the people of Shanyue worship me. But the King of Jiaozhou doesn't have the ability of the King of Ren."
Listening to Feifu's words, Xu Mu suddenly realized that this trip to the South China Sea might be difficult to win over the King of Jiaozhou to join the alliance.
