The date for the alliance is set in late September. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, all forces will gather in Chuzhou soon.
The time is a bit anxious, but there is no way. Once the autumn harvest is over, winter is approaching. If we delay it any longer, we cannot fight in the harsh winter wind.
"Brother Xu, are you a little too hasty?" Zuo Shiren frowned slightly, with a heavy tone in his tone. According to his estimation, this war of the Tianxia Alliance should be postponed to the spring of next year.
Xu Mu shook his head, "Brother Zuo, it's getting late. Don't forget that when you and I are leading the world alliance, the Demon Queen will definitely take action. The longer the time passes, the worse it will be for you and me."
Xu Mu is certain that now in Cangzhou, after receiving the news of the alliance between the world, the Demon Queen cannot sit still and wait for death. When the time comes, the war will begin, and I am afraid that there will be a big battle between the two sides.
It is even said that Jiangnan is not the only battlefield. The second battlefield may be the border in a certain direction, or Hebei, or Qingzhou.
But this time, we had to fight, and there was no reason to retreat.
Xu Mu understood that what Zuo Shiren was worried about was that the warships could not be built in time, and the morale of Dongling had not been adjusted well.
"Brother Zuo, you and I are in the light, and the Demon Queen is in the dark. One step too late will lead to more dangers."
Zuo Shiren sighed.
"So, after collecting the grain, we have to start preparing for war."
"Exactly." Xu Mu clasped his fists seriously.
"If you have any information, Brother Zuo must write to inform you."
Before the war, the Demon Queen is very likely to come up with a conspiracy, and the first target is probably Zuo Shiren.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, I'll take care of you all the way."
On the bank of the river, Zuo Shiren raised his hand to say goodbye. To be honest, there didn't seem to be any big hatred between Xishu and Dongling, except for the unpleasant incident when they attacked Muyun Prefecture.
The rest of the time seemed to be a very cooperative one.
Xu Mu boarded the boat and when he looked back, he found that not only Zuo Shiren but also Feifu were also waving to him desperately.
…
In about three days, Xu Mu finally rushed back to Muyun Prefecture. Even if he came and went in a hurry, no matter what, Dongfang Jing would always wait on the bank of the river when he heard the news that he was coming back.
"Lord! Dongfang worships to meet the lord!"
"Bolie doesn't need to be polite." Xu Mu looked happy, "This time, the South China Sea Alliance can be a great success, and Bolie should have a share of the credit."
"It was my lord's foresight and foresight that led to this great success." Dongfang Jing smiled restrainedly.
The two masters and subordinates have shown each other sincerely so many times, and they already have unreserved trust.
"By the way, Bolie, how is the harvest situation in Shuzhou?"
This was a major matter related to the people's livelihood in Western Shu, so he had to be careful.
Dongfang Jing said seriously, "My lord, the teacher is here to collect grain, so there is no problem. In the past few days, it is the time to collect grain. Many people in the nine counties in Sichuan have spontaneously formed civilian teams.
Patrol around the rice fields and beware of thieves touching the rice and tiger barbarians raiding the rice in autumn."
Xu Mu smiled. In Shuzhou now, the tiger barbarians have long been expelled. Such actions are nothing more than looking at the upcoming harvest and feeling happy in his heart.
"However." Dongfang Jing suddenly frowned, "The teacher's letter also said that during these days in Shuzhou, when night falls, the night wind blows very fiercely, which may cause disaster. For this reason, I am here in Muyunzhou
, I also made some observations and found that what the teacher said was indeed true."
"No matter what, my lord must be careful. The teacher has already made preparations. Although there are not many rice fields here in Muyunzhou, it will be a good autumn after all, so don't be careless."
"Bolie, I know."
Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, and originally wanted to write a letter to Zuo Shiren. But then he thought again, Zuo Shiren must have Guantian Prison on his side, and he should be prepared.
In this matter, the wisdom of the ancients was much smarter.
"Bolie, what about the other things?"
Dongfang Jing took out a file and looked a little solemn.
"The Demon Queen of Cangzhou, as expected by my lord, has also begun to recruit people to form a large alliance to fight against my lord."
"In other words, the Demon Queen is a little anxious."
Xu Mu nodded silently. The current situation was not very good for Xi Shu. In order to solve the huge stumbling block of the Demon Queen, he became more and more devoted, and there were many changes from the original intention of making progress step by step.
But there is nothing we can do. If the demon queen is not eliminated, Xi Shu will have no chance to occupy the south of the Yangtze River.
"Bolie, do you know the person who is allied with the Demon Queen?"
"Qingzhou Tang Wuyuan, don't worry about this one. Besides, there is also a grain king."
"Food King? It's him again."
When he was in Hebei, Xu Mu heard Chang Silang say that this King of Grain, a dragon that never sees its tail, controls more grain in the world than the old Chang family. He is the real king of the whole world without borders.
"Besides, I think Gongsun Zu also has some problems."
"Gongsun Zu." Xu Mu muttered this name, and suddenly he remembered the little dwarf standing in front of him, facing him with a kind smile on his face.
The tiger poisoned the food and stabbed the king of Yuzhou in the back. There were also inexplicable reinforcements and inexplicable amazing staff. When leaving Hebei, Xu Mu specifically said that Chang Silang should pay attention to the Fengxue Pass in Yanzhou.
"If it's this dwarf, I think it's very possible."
"Lord, I estimate there are quite a few left. But we can't find out in a short period of time. Again, if we want to fight against the alliance led by our lord, the Demon Queen will definitely gather strength to fight against it. By the way.
, when is the time for the Lord’s Guild Alliance to be decided?”
"After the harvest."
"After the autumn harvest..." On the bank of the river, Dongfang Jing looked up at the sky and fell into deep thought.
"Anyway, the teacher is a prudent person. He can write a letter and say that there will be unforeseen circumstances, so the Lord must be well prepared."
Xu Mu nodded.
"Of course, don't worry Bolie."
…
Jia Zhou, who was far away in Shuzhou, had a look of worry on his face at this time. This military advisor, who was only in his forties, leaned on crutches and looked like an old man, running between the fields and ridges every day.
The villagers dug canals, stored water, and built awnings.
To this day, he collapsed from exhaustion on a field ridge, and countless people burst into tears. They sent him back to the palace and invited Dr. Chen to diagnose him.
"Teacher, why are you working so hard?" Puppy Fu sat on the edge of the bed, his voice trembling.
Jia Zhou leaned on the edge of the bed, blinking his dark eyes.
"I wish I was overthinking. Dogs are blessed, the sky is dry and the wind is blowing at night, the well water is turbid, and the dogs are barking in the early morning... Now, the autumn harvest is coming. Do you remember that over the past thousands of years, the collapse of many dynasties was caused by natural disasters
.”
"In the face of natural disasters, no matter how hard we try, we can't resist it."
"In the past two days, I seem to feel that the sunshine above my head is getting stronger and stronger."
After coughing twice, Jia Zhou raised his head, as if he had made a decision.
"Gou Fu, go tell Han Jiu. Let him inform the entire Shuzhou that although the rice is still green and yellow before the auspicious time, from today onwards, the rice will be cut and threshed immediately, and the grain will be dried and put into the warehouse."
Puppy Fu was startled, "Teacher, if this happens, the rice harvest will be reduced by at least 30%."
Jia Zhou said in a serious tone, "If I, Jia Wenlong, make a mistake in my judgment, that would be the best. If the people of Shuzhou scold me, I will bear the responsibility alone."
