Xu Mu sat on the throne, with a terrifying expression on his face. Fighting was fighting, but he had never used the reputation of fighting to do something that was outrageous to everyone.
He knew without guessing that it must be those black hands who took advantage of the massacre of the village and poured dirty water over. In this case, there must be a fool who fell into the trap.
"King of Shu, what does this mean? The death of King Dawan was already a bit strange. Could it be that, just like the rumors, King Shu wants to conquer my entire Western Region? As a territory?"
In the hall, an envoy with an angry face placed a bronze official medal from Xishu on the desk.
"My lord, you are the envoy of Xiguo, and you have always been at odds with us." Yin Hu reminded him in a low voice.
Xu Mu frowned.
Regardless of the method or country chosen, they were all chosen very well.
Although smart people don't believe it, it is enough to become a way to stop Xi Shu's footsteps.
"King Shu, please explain carefully!"
"Send off guests." Xu Mu said calmly. The more you explain this thing, the darker it becomes.
"Lord..."
"Six Heroes, I asked you to see off the guests. Why, you don't listen anymore?"
Yin Hu nodded and invited the two envoys with shameful and angry faces out.
When he came back, Yin Hu still looked puzzled.
"What do you mean, lord?"
"In the future, there will be many more things like this. Could it be said that each time we have to explain one round and ask for completeness?" Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, "You also know that the methods of these hands are very despicable. The enemy is hiding us.
Ming, it’s not easy to stop it. Rather than falling into passivity, it’s better to change your mind.”
"Lord, if this happens, other countries in the Western Region may be dissatisfied and unite to resist me, Western Shu."
"You can send people to investigate, but you don't need to worry too much. The principles of this world are spoken with fists, not mouths. As long as my fists in Xishu are hard enough and the speed of punching is fast, then, those despicable methods and so on
, it’s irrelevant.”
"I originally wanted to win over some countries and create more momentum, but now it seems that they have already taken action."
"Six heroes, you send the order immediately. In two days, we will immediately assemble the coalition forces to attack Dawan Kingdom!"
"Lord, don't worry." Yin Hu's face was filled with excitement. He clasped his fists and prepared to leave. But suddenly he turned his head again, as if he remembered something.
"By the way, my lord, a letter came from Chengdu, saying that the naval commander in Beiyu has been dismissed."
"Huo Fu was dismissed?"
"Exactly."
It was a rare good thing, and Xu Mu showed a happy smile. He and Jia Zhou kept scheming and finally forced Huo Fu into a dead corner.
However, if it were him, he would not dare to reuse Huo Fu under all kinds of unfavorable circumstances. However, it was a great wisdom for him to always win. He did not dismiss Huo Fu immediately and just waited for Huo Fu to practice as a naval officer.
Only after seeing results did he start decisively.
…
Beiyu, the navy dock on the Jijiang River.
Bang.
Huo Fu coldly slapped his palm on the table. Today, he finally got the conclusive news. His son Huo Rong was not dead, but was in Chengdu, Western Shu.
"I said, I don't know, what's going on?" Facing a questioning supervisor, Huo Fu gritted his teeth and spoke.
"You have also seen that today's navy has made great progress under my training."
"Drilling the navy...you did a good job indeed." Supervisor smiled, "If this is correct, the next training should be a water battle in the river."
"Is there any problem with this?" Huo Fu frowned.
"If the method of water warfare is used by my disciples from Beiyu, I'm afraid many people will die."
"Damn it, I'm not a spy!" Huo Fu became furious. He even couldn't help but grab the hateful supervisor and give him a good beating.
"General Huo." At this time, a calm voice rang.
When Huo Fu looked up, he realized that Beiyu's little military advisor had entered the prison at some unknown time and sat down in front of him expressionlessly.
"I have read General Huo's record of water battles, and I have taken the trouble to do so. You have indeed done well in the past two or three months."
"Commander Chang, are you trying to kill the donkey?"
Chang Sheng was silent for a while, "I have thought about how I would have chosen if I were in your position. But I have thought about it many times and found that in the end, you will choose Beiyu."
"That's it. I, Huo Fu, hate the Southerners the most! At first I was thinking...to help find out the Southerners' hidden secrets."
"Even if I believe you, what about your son? You, Huo Fu, only have this last son in your life. He stays in Chengdu. If one day you lead an army to go on an expedition and the Shu people take this as a threat, what will you do? Kill your relatives for the sake of justice.
?”
Huo Fu closed his eyes in pain.
Only then did he realize that his stupid boy had helped Xi Shu make a beautiful chess move.
Now, it's not a question of trust or distrust. It's a combination of various factors that make it impossible for Beiyu to reuse him.
"Mr. Chang, you are so smart. I guess you have known about this for a long time, right?"
"almost."
"You kept me, kept me... just to give the whole Beiyu more experience in water warfare. You even tricked me into leaving a record of water warfare."
Chang Sheng nodded, "From another aspect, you also have merit. My lord, I will say a few more words for you. I won't kill you for the time being, but you need to stay in Tongcheng. I don't know, one day you can
The truth is out."
"It's impossible." Huo Fu sneered, "In the end, you will find a way to train another naval general. But let me tell you, the records of water warfare methods are not perfect. I, Huo Fu, still have many things to learn.
Things are not recorded!"
"That's why I said I won't kill you." Chang Sheng smiled.
Huo Fu closed his eyes in pain.
"After you return to Tongcheng, remember my words and don't leave the city rashly. Otherwise, someone will come and take action. In view of your achievements as a naval officer, you will be rewarded with salary and silver every month."
"Where is my son..."
"His name has been removed from Beiyu's household registration. General Huo, just treat him as dead."
Huo Fu was trembling all over and wanted to ask again, but found that Chang Sheng had already left.
He roared angrily and kicked over the food box in front of him.
"Sichuan thief, I, Huo Fu, will never be at odds with you in this life—"
…
After walking out of the prison, Chang Sheng stopped, frowned, and looked at the sun above his head.
"Is there any information from King Xu Shu?"
"Military advisor, no. The area around Yumen Pass is full of Shu people's spies. Even if you pretend to be a merchant, it will take some time to get to the Western Regions."
"Military advisor, it is impossible to say that Xu Buyi... has died on the way?"
"It's impossible. God has no control over people like him. He will stay at the end and compete with the Lord for hegemony in the world."
"The Western Regions are just his appetizer. I, Beiyu, should have made preparations early. I only hope to put down the rebellion in Hebei earlier."
"The war is about to begin, and the storm is rising."
