He did not stay for too long. Four or five days later, Wei Chun rushed back to Bailu County to supervise the shipbuilding. At the iron workshop, the construction of heavy repeating crossbows was also put on the agenda.
As for the heavy cavalry armor, up to now, apart from the previous ones, only a thousand pairs have been built. It is not because the construction period is delayed, but because it requires too many resources. It is said that light cavalry can produce 10,000 heavy cavalry through the ages.
It's almost like a behemoth.
"My lord is about to leave."
Xu Mu nodded. Next came the meeting with Chang Shiro. Compared with before, the two people who were originally old friends sat down to talk almost for their own interests this time.
There is no flower girl and no old friend tea.
"I am in Chengdu and will help my lord take care of the matter of going to the Western Regions." Jia Zhou stood aside and spoke seriously.
"Information came yesterday. Over in Yanzhou, several aristocratic family heads joined forces with Rouran to rebel together. Now, I guess the King of Yuzhou is still busy."
"The people of Yanzhou, just like Gongsun Zu, don't want the entire Yanzhou to become a horse breeding land in Beiyu, and they will become horse farmers."
"Due to interests, it is different from Western Shu. Western Shu does not have a big family to take the lead. As long as the people live a stable life, there will be no uprising. But in other words, the support that the family can provide is incomparable. However, the lord has already
I want to choose a path."
"nature."
"The meeting place is at the foot of Kuzhi Mountain outside Dingzhou. Please be extremely careful, my lord."
"Wenlong, I will set off tomorrow. Wenlong will have to worry about Chengdu again. But Wenlong needs to know that there is no need to micromanage everything and pay attention to his body and rest."
Xu Mu turned around and bowed to Jia Zhou.
…
"Chang Wei, what should I wear?" Chang Silang asked hesitantly in the back hall of the palace. He could only ask Chang Wei these questions. Others would probably advise him to put on the golden python armor and wear it inside.
Put on a thick armor.
"The little master is not an outsider... Master, can you not fight with the little master?" Chang Wei said aggrievedly, "Master, you know that Shahu and I are brothers of life and death, and he saved me before."
Changshiro lowered his head. He didn't know how to answer. He always felt that he and his old friend were like two wooden wheels on a broken carriage. One rolled to the east and the other rolled to the west. They never rode together before.
of happiness.
But the general trend of the world is originally unreasonable.
"Chang Wei, you'll be fine after the beating."
In silence, Chang Shiro chose a bright-colored robe and armor, put it on his body, and then walked out of the palace with a reluctant Chang Wei.
Under Chang Sheng's insistence, the number of troops following this round was at least ten thousand, most of them veterans of many battles. And behind them, there were thirty thousand rear troops rushing for reinforcements.
Dozens of generals from aristocratic families lined up on both sides of the royal road, raising their hands in greeting. The words that had reached Toushiro's lips slipped away again.
He remembered it very clearly... The old Zhongde died in the snow in the wind and snow when he was admonishing the emperor not far ahead. Now, in front of him is the general of the family, and Wang Long's second son, who has just tied his hair.
A young man whose father and brother sacrificed their lives to stab the King of Food in the back.
How could he fail to live up to expectations?
"Let's set off." Tsuneshiro said calmly, carrying the Overlord gun on his back.
"My lord has ordered us to set off for Kuzhi Mountain!"
…
"I'm going to beat him up, I don't want to fight that boy Chang Wei!" Si Hu squatted on the ground, crying and shouting, "That year when I went to Changyang, he invited me to dinner eight times. I beat him, and I won't treat him anymore.
What to do!”
"We're not going to fight, get up quickly!" Xu Mu cursed.
"I have asked, and they said they will definitely fight in the future. Otherwise, Brother Mu, go and talk to the rice seller, just like eating steamed cakes, each person gets half. When everyone is free, you can also
We can have a meal together."
Xu Mu was silent for a moment.
At this point, it was no longer something he or Tsuneshiro could control. The general trend of the world seemed to have a pair of invisible hands pushing the two of them in the direction of collision.
Even if he doesn't fight this time, Xu Qiao will fight in the future.
If the Central Plains cannot be unified, it will be meaningless.
"Follow my brother and when we return to Chengdu, I will have someone hunt down a nest of roe deer and bring them to your house."
"Okay, Brother Mu." Si Hu wiped away his tears and stood up immediately.
"You're a foodie, can't you cry again?"
"Brother Mu, the key is that the roe deer runs fast and I can't catch it!"
"I'll slap you again."
Xu Mu sighed, no matter what, we should meet this side. In the past two or three years, in order to stabilize the development of Xishu, it is best to have something similar to an agreement with Beiyu.
It's very mysterious, and it's more likely that under certain circumstances, this kind of agreement will be worthless. But you... have to do it.
"Si Hu, let's go."
"Brother Mu, can I still hold Chang Wei when I see him?"
This sentence is inexplicably helpless.
"Go ahead and hug her. Just don't hug her to death."
Outside the city of Chengdu, people had already stood in a circle. When they heard that Xu Mu was leaving Shu again, many people came to see him off.
"Does the King of Shu recognize me?" an old man shouted in the crowd, with a bit of pride in his voice, "When the King of Shu's army entered Shu, I followed him as a guide!"
"The King of Shu still remembers the Wu family. My family is a rouge seller, and all three of my sons are in the army!"
"When the King of Shu passed by the Qing Palace, I even held the hand of the King of Shu."
…
Xu Mu smiled and returned the greeting to the crowd. Then he turned around and walked towards the city gate. His two princesses and a pair of children were looking at him worriedly.
"My son Xu Qiao, and Xu Feng, come here."
Xu Qiao hugged his little buttocks, dragged his sister's hand, and approached Xu Mu.
Xu Mu picked up the two children, one on the left and the other on the right. After meeting Chang Laosi, he would start a new round of leaving home.
Just like in Shuzhou, thousands of soldiers, whether guarding the border or accompanying the army, have to stay away from their wives, children, and mothers.
As before, Jiang Caiwei put a new protective triangle into Xu Mu's arms. Li Xiaowan, on the other hand, kept chattering with instructions, such as running away when seeing a fire, and asking someone to get a tiger shield if there was a war.
"Nothing, I'll be back soon." Xu Mu put down the child and hugged his two wives.
He is used to the days of fighting, but he doesn't know if one day the world will be peaceful and he won't have to fight in the north or south, he will not get used to it.
"Let's set off." Xu Mu turned around.
This time he went to Kuzhi Mountain with only 5,000 people. Of course, Chai Zong would support them in Dingzhou.
"My son Xu Qiao——"
"My son Si Niu!" Before Xu Mu could finish shouting, Si Hu next to him suddenly roared and began to cry.
Xu Mu was stunned, what a stupid name he got.
"Si Hu, don't cry, you will be back soon."
"No, Brother Mu, I just suddenly remembered, if I give birth to more children, Sima, Sibao and Siyang, how should I choose this name?"
"Get an egg, and I'll help you think of a name when you get back." Xu Mu cursed and urged Si Hu to get on his horse. After a while, a long group of more than 5,000 people began to move quickly in the direction of Yuguan.
