"The six heroes and the four generals of Western Shu are sent out. Now, I can only rely on you." Xu Mu said apologetically at the city gate as he was seeing him off.
He knew that Yin Hu had never liked the battlefield. But this time, Yin Hu was indeed the best candidate.
Putting on the battle armor, Yin Hu doesn't have much pretense.
"This time I go to the Western Regions, I will definitely live up to your master's trust."
Taking two steps back, Yin Hu knelt on the ground and said goodbye to Xu Mu. Having been the leader of the secret guard for nearly a year, he has always been responsible for Xu Mu's safety.
"I'm not here, so please be extremely careful, lord."
"Six heroes, take care of yourself all the way."
More than 5,000 Shu cavalrymen set off with Yin Hu first, followed by other generals with 5,000 men and horses, joined King Yu Dang's tribe and entered the Western Region together.
Jia Zhou, who was nearby, walked slowly with a cane and suddenly said something meaningful.
"Have you noticed, my lord, that our generals in Western Shu are slowly growing up?"
"Wen Long, indeed."
Whether it's Chao Yi, Chai Zong, or even Yin Hu who just left, they are all Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and they are becoming famous all over the world step by step.
Compared with the heritage of the aristocratic family, these people have nothing but the baptism of wars, and they continue to grow through military exploits.
"Wenlong, let's go back to the city." Looking at Yin Hu's long shadow again, Xu Mu supported Jia Zhou, and the two of them slowly entered the city.
"After the beginning of spring, the various princes who have rested for the winter are ready to move again. Zuo Shiren has mobilized a lot of troops a few days ago and placed them in Lidu City."
Xu Mu nodded. Yu Wenyou had written about this matter. But Xu Mu guessed that under this situation, the possibility of Zuo Shiren attacking Xi Shu should not be great.
Again, I guess I'll fight Yuan Song in a bloody battle, so I'll capture Kezhou first.
"Wenlong, there are too many things going on in Xishu recently. We can only go back a little bit to conquer Jiangnan."
The Grain King wants to overthrow Xishu, which has caused a lot of trouble in recent times.
"That's right. As the ancients said, first defend the territory and then reopen the territory. What the lord has to do now is to stabilize the people's livelihood and stability in Xishu. The king of Yuzhou and Jiuzhi Wuwei should also be making plans in the inner city.
When the time comes, the lord only needs to cooperate, and perhaps, there will be unexpected gains."
"I don't think Chang Xiaotang, the overlord of the world, would simply let the Grain King play with him." Jia Zhou smiled lightly.
"Except for the disadvantage of being too righteous, Chang Xiaotang is the most likely person in the world to sit on the throne."
"Wenlong, you are not afraid that I will be angry if you say this." Xu Mu smiled.
"I understand my lord. If I said flattering words at this time, I would be truly unworthy of the title of chief staff officer of Xishu."
"The one who knows me is Jia Wenlong."
…
As Jia Zhou thought, Chang Laosi, the overlord of the world, had just begun spring, and he had already led a huge army through Hebei and stationed his troops at the border of Dingzhou. From this look, it was clear that they were going to fight a war.
At Dingbeiguan, Chai Zong was not surprised when he received the information. His lord had already written to him before. This time, he wanted to cooperate with the King of Yuzhou.
Of course, on the surface, no matter what, there is still some talk.
"General Chai, I heard earlier that the king of Yuzhou was injured by an arrow. He will lead his troops to go on an expedition just a short time ago."
"You ask me, I'll ask who is going." Chai Zong was silent and then spoke.
"You arrange for the troops to stay at Dingbeiguan. I will personally lead the sentry camp and go out of the city to investigate."
"General Chai, how can this be done?"
"nothing."
Without saying much, Chai Zong ordered more than a thousand sentinels to ride out of Dingbeiguan on fast horses.
…
"Drink some wine first." In a hidden forest, Changshiro was lying on the ground, passing a bag of wine forward.
Chai Zong, who had just arrived, was silent for a while and sat down next to him.
"Your lord, I should tell you what we are going to do this round."
"Back to the King of Yuzhou, my lord naturally made it clear."
"That's good."
After hesitating for a while, Chai Zong spoke again, "King Yuzhou, you are injured right now. You are so impatient. Could it be that you are too impatient, and it will be easy for others to see your flaws?"
"It's not urgent. As for leaving the inner city, those people will only think that I am going to war and divert the conflict with the family. Moreover, there is not enough time."
"Then... King of Yuzhou, what are you going to do? My lord said that I must cooperate with you."
"It's very simple. After a battle, hide the soldiers who were damaged in the battle. At that time, I will lead the troops to attack the key points. As for the nearby areas, yesterday, I had already deployed troops to guard against spies."
"What if there are spies in the army? I heard that those aristocratic families-"
"There are spies with eggs, a Huwei camp, a rice selling army, and I personally brought out the troops."
Chai Zong thought for a while, "I roughly understand that the King of Yuzhou wants to use the name of the battle damage to hide this group of troops disguised as battle damage into Dingbeiguan."
"Fortunately you are not a reckless man." Chang Shiro smiled, "In about two days, I will let go of the defense line and let the spies who come out of the inner city see clearly the end of the battle damage. This matter will be decided by
You come and do it, and make it more beautiful. Your lord and I are going to work together to fight the wolf this time."
"Don't worry." Chai Zong clasped his fists.
"Go back and be careful." Chang Shiro waved his hand.
"Farewell."
Only when Chaizong walked away did Changshiro pick up the wine again and poured it into his mouth with some dullness. He had just conquered Hebei and half of the ten states, and he was about to make a decision to go south.
But he never thought that he and the small bosses in Chengdu would all encounter a disaster.
He asked the old counselor what would happen if he accepted the power of the Grain King?
The old strategist said that with the strong alliance, it will form a general trend that will engulf the world. Maybe in three to five years, he will be able to reach the ninth position. But it is more likely that his power will be gradually penetrated by the people of the Grain King.
It becomes a trend that cannot be lost.
So, he refused.
In the past, whenever he encountered this kind of thing, he always thought of his old friend. He led troops to resist Beidi, he appeased the people in the inner city, and then, this time, he refused the King of Grain.
Every step of the way, he always wanted to grind his feet into the mud and into the footprints left by his old friend.
"Brother Xu, I respect you."
Instead of calling him Little Taotao, Chang Silang raised his head and raised his wine bag alone in the forest. Just like that year, his old friend had not yet been given a national surname and had not fallen into intrigues.
imperial court.
They were very happy. When they had free time, they would often hide in the woods and drink. They talked about state affairs, the world, and even the new little flower girl in the Qing Dynasty.
Now, he is the only one left.
The cold wind of spring blew through the forest. Changshiro raised his head, raised his wine bag and drank it all in one gulp.
