In Wangjun, Youzhou, when he heard the chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, the dwarf prince Sunzu stood up with a sigh.
"Lord, there are Yuzhou troops outside."
"I guessed it a long time ago. My idiot dragged the entire Gongsun family to death. These five states will eventually fall into the hands of Chang Xiaosi."
"My master cares about the mountains and rivers. If you don't talk about the truth, maybe, maybe..."
"What are you talking about? Ever since I stabbed Chang Xiaosi in the back, I have been fighting to the death. Although my Gongsun Zu is five feet three, he is still a tough guy. Go get the knife and fight with me."
"Master, there are only two of us." The old servant trembled.
"Everyone on the left and right will die, so I, Gongsun Zu, died on the battlefield."
The old servant looked moved, and without any hesitation, he took two meat cleavers from the kitchen.
"The king becomes a king and the bandits are defeated, my grandson and grandson are stained with blood on the battlefield——"
…
In Xiangjiang River in the south of the Yangtze River, the warship returning to Shu finally arrived at Bailu County. As soon as he stepped onto the river bank, Xu Mu saw Dou Tong's figure in the distance.
In the battle to attack Cangzhou, because Dongling was the main force in the navy, Xu Mu did not let Dou Tong participate in the battle.
"Lord!"
With many generals in tow, Dou Tong spoke happily.
"Dou Tong, we haven't seen each other for at least a year. When I look at you, my beard is curled up." Xu Mu also smiled, walked over and gave Dou Tong a bear hug.
This former King of Southern Shu played an indispensable role in the battle to enter Shu.
"Hey, I'm not Fan Dabeard. I was just preparing a map to open up the river these past few days, and I forgot about it for a moment."
Starting from Bailu County and heading to the west of Cangzhou, we must open up river channels all the way. This is the strategy Xu Mu handed over to Dou Tong.
"Dou Tong, are you okay recently?"
"Of course nothing happened... I just heard that Chang Ling died outside Dingbei Pass. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I decided to lead the troops."
Lu Xiu arrived in advance, and both of their faces showed a little sadness. It is no exaggeration to say that the great victory outside Dingbei Pass was brought about by Lu Xiu.
"Stop talking about this. Chao Yi will definitely take revenge over there." Xu Mu changed the subject, "From now on, I will have to trouble you about the Xiangjiang River."
"Don't worry, my lord, I have practiced water warfare for a long time just for this day. When my lord dominates the south of the Yangtze River, my Western Shu navy will be like a dragon on the river!"
In the future, if the entire south of the Yangtze River is really conquered, then the Xiangjiang River in front of us must be guarded by natural dangers. Starting from Shuzhou and all the way to Wuzhou, the navy of Western Shu is closely guarding it.
"Knowing that my lord has returned to Shu, the people in the fourteen counties of Shuzhou are all looking forward to it. I went to Chengdu last month and met with Military Advisor Jia. In addition, I also met with the young master Xu Qiao. My lord doesn't know, but the young master
Although he is only over a year old, he is already babbling and reciting ancient poems along with the puppy Fu."
Xu Mu was overjoyed. Thinking about it, his father was probably incompetent. The two children in Chengdu had not seen each other for more than a year.
"Everyone says that Xu Qiao, the young master, has inherited his great talent."
"Dou Tong, you are making fun of me again."
At this time, Xu Mu was ready to return home. He declined Dou Tong's reception banquet. After landing on the shore, he entered through Banan City with the accompanying three thousand guards and rushed all the way to Chengdu.
…
"Aww, aww, aww!" Si Hu cried endlessly while riding on the horse.
"Brother Tiger, what are you doing?"
"Brother Mu, I miss my wife! I miss my great son Meng Huo!"
"General Tiger, do you want to drive a pile?"
"Yin Goufu, I'll beat you up!"
Ignoring the quarrel between the two, Xu Mu raised his head, his eyes full of expectation. At this time, he had already entered the county in western Shu.
Along the way, many common people and officials from Western Shu, as Dou Tong said, greeted each other on the way.
"Welcome my king back to Shu!"
"Welcome to the King of Shu!"
The voices in unison continued to resound throughout the sky.
"I'm Xu Mu, thank you all for welcoming me!" Xu Mu's heart was filled with excitement, and he returned the gift with his hands in hand.
In Shuzhou, he and Jia Zhou had always implemented benevolent governance. With the stability of the past three years, the fourteen counties of Shuzhou are no longer as riddled with holes as before.
The officials are honest, the people are happy, and children's laughter can be seen everywhere. Although it is not as wealthy as the inner city, in any case, without the shadow of aristocratic families, it can be regarded as a peaceful place.
In Xu Mu's heart, Shuzhou was like home. Even if he conquered the south of the Yangtze River and conquered half of the country, Shuzhou would still be a place he has dreamed of for thousands of times.
After several days of journey, Xu Mu finally returned to Chengdu with the escort of more than 3,000 people.
"Daughter-in-law, my son Meng Huo, the military advisor, my sister-in-law, my little sister-in-law, Gou Fuzi, Han Gou and Sun Gou... Brother Mu, the little Gonggou is also alive!"
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the figure in the crowd. Although he was still a little short, he was already slightly upright, and he was even more surprised.
"Little bow dog!" Si Hu, who rarely called his wife first, took the lead on his tall horse and ran forward.
"Captain, we're home." Yin Hu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Six Heroes, I have you to protect me all the way. Thank you for your hard work."
"Helmsman, don't talk about this, my lord——"
Before Yin Hu could finish speaking, General Feng, who was under Xu Mu's crotch, was already running towards the city gate, roaring like lightning.
"Master, what's wrong with this horse?"
…
General Feng ran straight to the city gate and stopped in front of Jiang Caiwei. He kept waving his horse's head, probably signaling Jiang Caiwei to mount the horse.
Jiang Caiwei blushed, hesitated, and still stood still. In her hand, she was holding a child in a small pocket. At this moment, the child raised his head, blinked curious eyes, and kept looking at the horse.
Xu Mu.
"Caiwei, this is it, this is it..."
"Husband, this is Qiao'er. Qiao'er——"
"Dad!" Xu Qiao said in a sweet voice, raised his head and shouted.
Xu Mu's heart was shocked. He hadn't seen her for more than a year. This baby really didn't care about life. He was indeed Xu Mu's son.
"Where's Xu Feng?"
"Xu Lang, Feng'er is here."
After giving birth to a child, Li Xiaowan finally lost the murderous spirit of grinding wolfberry tea, and her whole person actually became gentle.
"Okay, okay!" Xu Mu was overjoyed, holding Xu Qiao with one hand and holding Xu Feng with the other, feeling completely satisfied in his heart. After going through a troubled world, he finally blossomed and had his own heir.
"We sincerely welcome our lord back to Shu."
Jia Zhou, Gong Gou, Han Jiu Sunxun, and the little dog Fu who grew up slowly, and many generals in the general hall all raised their hands and clasped their fists.
"No need to be polite." Xu Mu said with a smile. Away from the swords and flames, seeing the face of his old friend again, he felt as if he had been separated from the world.
"Wenlong worked hard."
"Long Gong, you have finally cured your camel disease. If not, I will give you a wife this year."
"Puppy Fu, listen to your boss, eat more this year and try to grow taller. Next year, my boss will take you to fight."
"Han Jiu, when you are free later, come to the palace and sing a song to please Sanniang."
"Sun Xun, if you mess with Si Hu again this time, I won't care about you anymore."
…
Xu Mu exhaled a comfortable breath. If possible, he wished he could stay in Shuzhou forever and drink and have fun with these relatives and friends every day.
But if the Western Shu regime wants to continue in troubled times, there is only one way. He leads this group of people to create a new dynasty!
