At the end of winter, the sound of howling wind and snow gradually calmed down. On the river bank, there were buds that refused to obey their fate. From the bald trees that had withered all winter, they pulled out a trace of long-lost green.
Standing on the shore, Xu Mu felt a little expectant for a moment. The princes from the four towns will gather in Kezhou to discuss the strategy of attacking Cangzhou. Of course, there will also be many small forces that have joined the alliance and will gather together to hold the meeting.
Military discussion.
"Zuo Shiren, please invite heroes from all walks of life to enter the military tent together!"
As the leader of the alliance, Zuo Shiren was even more excited at this moment. He looked respectful to all the people who joined the alliance.
"Brother Xu, you and I will go together." Zuo Shiren walked down the stairs and said with a smile.
"Be polite."
The date for the attack on Cangzhou has not yet been set. Throughout the ages, when seeking revenge against traitors, one has to choose an auspicious day. In addition, one also needs to choose a literary talent to write a eloquent appeal against traitors.
Zuo Shiren must have done these things.
"By the way, Brother Xu, why haven't the troops from King Yuzhou arrived yet?"
"The snow path has just cleared. I guess there was a delay. Counting the time, it should be here soon."
On Uncle Chang's side, the person in charge was Chang Wei, his old brother. Xu Mu was not worried about problems.
Zuo Shiren nodded and asked no more questions. Only when the two of them walked into the military tent did they realize that there were already crowds of people inside.
There were at least thirty people, all princes from all walks of life, as well as the accompanying chief generals and staff. Everyone's face revealed a fighting spirit.
"Greetings to the leader of the alliance and meeting to the king of Shu!"
"Be polite!"
Zuo Shiren sat on the tiger leather chair at the main seat, raised his head, and looked down quietly. Compared with the original Dongling League, now, it is almost a shotgun exchange for a cannon.
"Alliance leader, General Chang Wei in the inner city is less than forty miles away from the camp." Zuo Shiren was about to say a few words, but he never thought that he would suddenly get information about the people in the inner city.
"Okay, everyone, please wait a little longer. When the generals of the King of Yuzhou arrive, our world's great alliance will be gathered together!"
Xu Mu was beside him and he breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how much thought he put into this world alliance.
"Brother Mu, little Chang Wei has become so powerful. He can lead tens of thousands of people to fight...but I'm still asking Brother Mu for steamed buns."
Si Hu on the side had obvious doubts in his voice.
"If you become a general like that, you can't marry a wife. Why, you want to do it too?" Xu Mu turned around.
"Then... I won't do it."
Xu Mu straightened his body and looked forward, waiting for Chang Wei to enter the account. Many times, in his heart, Chang Wei was already equal to his own family. If he were not a die-hard Chang Silang, he would not have resorted to any means to pull Chang Wei into
Xishu camp.
"Alliance leader, the Yuzhou army is under attack!"
But he never thought that after a while, another scout would report hurriedly outside the tent.
Xu Mu and Zuo Shiren looked at each other for a moment. There was something ominous in each other's eyes.
In the military tent, the expressions of the princes and various forces who had joined the alliance also had a complex look on their faces.
The area 40 miles northeast of Kezhou is not really a state area. Due to the war in troubled times, Huang Daochong had already reduced Kezhou's defense line earlier.
At this time, after learning about the attack on the Yuzhou Army, Huang Daochong was extremely angry. One after another, first the envoy was assassinated, and now, luckily, the Yuzhou Army was suddenly attacked again.
"Go to war!" Riding on the horse, Huang Daochong put on his battle armor, his voice filled with anger.
"Master Huang, the defenders at the border of Kezhou, please stay still. I'll come as soon as I can." Xu Mu frowned. Deep down in his heart, he just felt that something was getting more and more wrong.
Although it is a long way from the inner city to Kezhou. But in any case, with the current general trend of the world, we will only take action against the Yuzhou army unless we are crazy. You know, even a person like Yuan Song asked Grandpa to report
Grandma, she tried her best to join the alliance.
Who could it be?
Not daring to delay any longer for fear of being late for reinforcements, Xu Mu set off immediately with more than 10,000 people accompanying him, marching hastily in the direction where Wei was attacked.
…
"Come on, come on!"
In a wilderness, Chang Wei was wearing a battle armor and holding a bright silver gun in his hand. With just one hand, he stabbed an enemy bandit in front of him to death under his horse.
Next to Chang Wei, also riding a horse, was another general who was the legitimate son of a noble family in Gaotang Province. At this time, Chang Wei had no murderous intention. Instead, he was full of panic and hid behind the guard.
Being surrounded.
"Huwei camp, help me carry the gun and kill all these dog soldiers who are intercepting me on the way!"
After following Chang Shiro for too long, Chang Wei, a former little guard, had acquired a little bit of domineering.
"General, we are trapped in the wilderness. There are slopes nearby and the terrain is unfavorable. It is best to retreat." General Youbi came on horseback and quickly spoke to persuade.
"I'm afraid. Give the order and have the outer phalanxes immediately set up shields to block the enemy's flying arrows. Xiaodong's family has taught me that if the enemy is outnumbered, it is very likely that they will use long-range shots to contain them."
As soon as Chang Wei finished speaking, sure enough, the surrounding slopes were densely covered with flying arrows.
Many black-armored soldiers who were hit by arrows did not die on the battlefield to fight against rebellion, but fell down halfway.
Chang Wei's eyes were about to burst, so he personally led his troops and began to charge towards the enemy's formation.
…
There was a huge fight in the wilderness, but on a hidden slope, two or three generals were watching quietly. There was a sense of amusement on their faces.
"Is this the general under the command of the King of Yuzhou? He looks more like a reckless man. The master said that this interception will be a decisive blow."
"Master's clever plan. Don't forget it later. Sprinkle a few more of the fake emperor Yuan Song's waist cards."
"I'm a little confused. Why not use Xishu or Dongling's belt?"
The general who spoke earlier showed a faint smile.
"Xu Buyi is a smart man. If he used Dongling's, he must have known that it was a fake show. But if he used Yuan Song's, the meaning is different. After all, this false emperor has never been liked by the alliance. Moreover,
The two states of Laiyan and Laizhou are also close together, so everything can fit together.”
"This general of the King of Yuzhou——" Another person spoke, but his voice stopped abruptly.
"Master, meet the master!"
On the slope, the original generals all turned around and kowtowed to the medicine collector in front of them.
The herb gatherer had an extremely ordinary appearance, the kind of face that would be unrecognizable at first sight if thrown into a crowd.
"Close the net." The herb gatherer stood in the early spring dusk, uttered these two words coldly, then turned around and disappeared with a wooden stick.
Not long after, in the wilderness, after both sides abandoned nearly a thousand corpses, the war slowly came to an end. All over the mountains and plains, there were silhouettes of people dispersing like an ebbing tide.
Chang Wei, who was riding on the horse, was still full of ideas for a moment. He held his gun horizontally and imitated his young master, and cursed three times in a row, "You're a fool."
