"Welcome the little military advisor back to Shu!"
…
About half a month later, the autumn harvest had just begun, and Xu Mu was still in the fields, helping the people cut rice. Suddenly, he heard the news that Dongfang Jing had returned.
He ran out of the fields with great joy, changed into clean robes, and hurried to the city gate with his entourage.
"Bolie!"
Dongfang Jing, who was sitting on the wooden wheel cart, paused for a moment after hearing this sound, but did not forget the etiquette and bowed excitedly.
"Worship in the East to meet the Lord."
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite! If it weren't for Bo Lie, Hezhou would have been unable to defend itself." Xu Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Dongfang Jing firmly.
At that time, the Demon Queen's shadow was everywhere, and wars were everywhere in the Central Plains. One can imagine how dangerous it was for Dongfang to bring a carriage with only a dozen followers.
"Bolie, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Dongfang Jing's emaciated appearance, Xu Mu couldn't bear it. Jia Zhou, the great military advisor, and Fang Jing, the small military advisor from Dongfang, had sacrificed too much for Western Shu.
"Come, follow me into the palace."
"Captain, I will carry the young military advisor." Yin Hu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly bowed down.
Not to mention the entire Western Shu, or even the entire Central Plains, who can look down upon this crippled military advisor now?
"I'm inconvenienced, thank you Lord Yin Xiang."
After just talking to Yin Hu, Dongfang Jing turned his head again, "My lord, the war on the Hezhou side is no longer a problem. I made sure that the Beidi people retreated, and then rushed back. Now the Hezhou guard Le Qing is also
As a loyal and brave man, I have written to the King of Yuzhou to resign from Hezhou. In addition, I have also recommended Le Qing to be the border general of Hezhou."
"Bo Lie kills two birds with one stone. In this way, with the help of recommendation, the relationship between me in Xishu and Le Qing has improved to a higher level."
"It's just a matter of smooth sailing. With Le Qing's contribution, he should be able to be promoted." Dongfang Jing smiled calmly, but he still did not lose his strategizing skills.
"However, there is another strange thing happening over there with the Beidi people."
"What?"
"I heard that many tribes gathered in the sand sea behind the grassland. Tuoba Hu was worried that the royal court would be damaged, and the war was not going well, so he retreated in a hurry."
"Sand Sea Tribe?"
"Exactly, I have asked Le Qing to tell the Night Owl Group in Hezhou. If there is any information, I will send it to you."
"Of course I feel relieved when Bo Lie is doing things."
As he talked all the way, he arrived outside the palace before he knew it. After hearing the news, Jia Zhou happened to be walking outside the palace on crutches.
He has a peaceful demeanor and a happy face.
"Teacher...Teacher has lost weight." Dongfang Jing sat down, his voice bitter.
"Bolie has also lost a lot of weight. However, I, Xishu, have finally established a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River."
After the demon queen is eliminated, the entire Jiangnan area will only belong to the forces of Xishu and Dongling. Kezhou is not included. In Jia Zhou's words, it is just a pig or dog waiting to be slaughtered.
"Wen Long, Bo Lie, please come into the palace." Xu Mu stood between the two military advisors, his heart full of gratitude. There is nothing wrong with controlling people, but if it weren't for these two great planners who have repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats,
Xishu cannot reach this stage.
"I came back along the way and saw a huge rice harvest in Shuzhou. Before I knew it, I was greedy." Dongfang Jing said with a smile, "To be honest with you, my lord and teacher, when I was in Hezhou, there was also rice at the King of Yuzhou.
, but it is not as good as what I produce in Shuzhou. The nine counties in Shu are worthy of the name of Tianfu."
"If Bo Lie likes it, I will ask Xi Niang to pick some polished rice later and cook it carefully."
"Thank you, lord."
After Sun Xun served tea and exchanged greetings, the three principals and subordinates began to discuss the general situation of the world as usual. After telling Dongfang Jing one by one the information about Cangzhou. As Xu Mu expected, Dongfang Jing also
He frowned.
"If I go by what my lord said, the power of the Grain King will probably be a serious problem for me in Xishu. As for the head of Huang Daochong Huang Family... my teacher and I have the same opinion. After all, there are too many things happening in this world that are hidden from the truth.
Yes. Moreover, the events before and after this incident happened so suddenly that it cannot be fully believed."
"If the head of the Huang family is not dead, and my lord can find him, he may be able to find out the clues about the Grain King." Dongfang Jing paused and continued to speak hesitantly, "My lord, don't blame me, I have to say something ugly, in the eyes of people like the Grain King
, My lord is actually the same as Fang Ru, the false emperor at the time. He started from a humble background and conquered the world with his weak legs. They will not be optimistic about my lord. But fortunately, my lord chose to take the path of the people and won the support of the people."
Xu Mu nodded. He understood that Dongfang Jing was not wrong. Many founding emperors in ancient times basically relied on powerful families to determine the country. Even the great ancestor of the Ji Dynasty was like this, and he had the support of many aristocratic families in Shuzhou.
, then there will be an army of conquest.
"Bo Lie doesn't know something. The lord has found a way to solve the money problem in Western Shu even without the support of a big family." Jia Zhou said with a smile.
"Could it be the Silk Road that the Lord talks about?"
"You can't hide it from Bo Lie."
"Other businesses, whether selling rice or even wine, will eventually be blocked as long as they are in the Central Plains. But if we are doing business with the Western Regions, there will be no problems. We just need to open up channels."
In a few words, the key point was revealed.
Not only Xu Mu, but also Jia Zhou felt relieved.
Xu Mu was even lucky that he accepted Jia Zhou's proposal when he was fighting against the tigers and barbarians. Unintentionally, he got a great advisor to the world.
"The Demon Queen has just been destroyed, and the world is probably going to be peaceful for a while. This is a good opportunity for my lord. You can take advantage of this opportunity to start things in the Western Region."
Xu Mu also had the same idea. Moreover, not only about matters in the Western Regions, but also about Wei Chun, he had many ideas for future generations in his heart, and he wanted to put them into practice one by one under the skillful hands of this sick young man.
"Bolie is in Chengdu, so he can rest for a while."
He had no intention of sending Dongfang Jing to Yu Wen again. Not long ago, when he saw Jia Zhou's white hair, he felt extremely astringent.
During the southern and northern campaigns, both military advisors were too busy. Although Chen Que was here, they had to be more careful no matter what.
"Have you noticed, my lord, that our country in Western Shu is no worse than the inner city? These people like us, who started from humble beginnings, each have their own magical powers, and gathered around the lord, we can be considered a talented people." Jia Zhou suddenly said.
Xu Mu thought about it and found that it was not wrong.
Two military advisors, many generals such as Chao Yi and Dou Tong, as well as various talents like Wei Chun and Chen Que. Even Chen Sheng, a few Wangzhou horsemen, began to slowly take charge of their own affairs.
"No one can do it except my lord. Not even the King of Yuzhou. It is precisely because of this that I, Western Shu, rise step by step."
"My lord, please note that Western Shu is not a short-lived separatist regime. We and other people are willing to follow my lord to conquer the thirty states in the world and create a new dynasty."
"Return the capital to Changyang and conquer the world."
Listening and listening, Xu Mu also began to look forward to the day when the white armor of Xishu would come out and compete with the princes of the world.
