The sky above Fufeng City suddenly changed color. It wasn't rain, but dark clouds coming from nowhere.
"There is no way to retreat, so there is no need to retreat anymore." Jia Zhou walked out of the house and raised his eyes to the sky in a simple tone.
Beside him, Yu Wen's expression became extremely solemn.
"You and I both know that it's not easy for my lord to get to where he is today." Lowering his head, Jia Zhou's voice suddenly became deeper.
The news just came. At the border between Muyun Prefecture and Shu Prefecture, at least seven groups of defeated troops were pardoned by the court and appointed as Dingbian Generals. A total of more than 20,000 people were about to rush to Fufeng City.
"The emperor couldn't come up with this plan. He could only be a bitch like Chen Changqing."
"The Lord has not come back yet." Yu Wen Ning's face was grim.
"How long will it take?"
"About a day."
Jia Zhou lowered his head and muttered, "General Yu, I will bring three thousand people over. If my lord comes back, tell him that the large county near Linjiang should not wait any longer. There may be a large army attacking Muyunzhou."
"Military advisor...three thousand people."
"Fufeng City still needs to be garrisoned. When the Lord comes back, he will need a large army to go with him."
Jia Zhou looked calm.
"This is my lord's first battle in Shu. We will definitely show off our power and establish the territory of Shu."
Yu Wen wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Jia Zhou's appearance, he had no choice but to give up.
…
"So, the seven defeated armies are joining forces to attack my small Fufeng City?" Xu Mu paused.
Chen Sheng, who came to report, his face darkened.
"I heard from the military advisor that it was the Dog Emperor of Muyun Prefecture who made them a general and rewarded them with a lot of military pay and supplies, so they launched the attack."
On the borders of Shu and Muyun Prefecture, there were many defeated armies. The Fufeng City captured by Jia Zhou was also a small city occupied by defeated troops at that time.
Xu Mu frowned and thought.
The world is in chaos and there is no way to govern the country. This bullshit method of recruiting people is completely disgusting. He was not surprised that this happened. What he was worried about was whether there would be any other back-ups after this.
This is a critical moment. Just now, I was thinking of attacking a large county near the river.
"Where's the military advisor?"
"The military advisor went with three thousand people."
"Three thousand people?"
"Indeed, the military advisor said, don't worry, my boss, he will definitely show his majesty. Please don't hesitate, my boss, and find a way to immediately capture a large county near the river as a shelter for us."
Fu Feng City is indeed not a good land with low walls and broken walls. At most, it is the first place of residence in Shu.
"Three thousand people are fighting against more than 20,000 people. How will the military advisor fight?"
Xu Mu's face was solemn.
After understanding only one truth, he was like a dragon crossing the river. The three kings of Shu, the defeated river bandits, and many wealthy families in Shu were all looking at him.
Even with the title of Xiaohouye's legacy, he killed the treacherous prime minister and rejected Beidi. But if the army with more than ten thousand people was just a rabbit, it would be eaten to pieces.
On the contrary, he is a hedgehog. If others want to take action, they have to think carefully.
Jia Zhou certainly understood, so he didn't wait for him to return to the city, fearing that he would be blocked, so he simply went out with 3,000 men.
Of course, he would not blame Jia Zhou. If he had a pedantic and stubborn temperament, he would not be called a "poisonous owl".
"Go back to the city first." Xu Mu's voice was calm.
This was considered the first battle in Shu. Jia Zhou was behind, blocking the defeated army for him. And he wanted to lead his army northward and seize time to capture Linjiang County.
However, there were more than 10,000 people, but they had to be divided into two groups.
Riding on his horse and galloping, Xu Mu looked closely at the mountains in the distance. His military advisor is going to fight a battle to protect the crystal for him.
…
hold head high--
A group of forest birds were startled by the sound of marching footsteps and flew out of the old forest together.
Jia Zhou took a breath, punched the tree stick on the ground again, and stared at the surrounding mountains. Shuzhou is mountainous, especially the road into the middle of Shu. It is surrounded by mountains and the road to Shu is like a ladder to heaven.
"Fan Lu, send 300 more scouts."
Fan Lu, who had a beard, suddenly looked startled when he heard Jia Zhou's words. However, for a long army of three thousand people, 10% of the scouts had to be dispatched.
This has never been heard... before.
"Military advisor, if there are too many of us, if we are discovered, something bad may happen."
"It doesn't matter." Jia Zhou said calmly, "What I need to do is to detect the strength of the nearby mountains as quickly as possible. Fan Lu, you followed the master and came back from the grassland. You should know that the troops are insufficient. Only by taking advantage of the situation can we defeat the enemy."
Fan Lu paused suddenly.
Thinking of the ambush in the woods and Wolf Mountain, the military advisor in front of me was right. With insufficient troops, there was no chance of winning in a fight, so we could only take advantage of the situation.
"The military advisor is wise!" Fan Lu clasped his fists respectfully, then immediately turned around and ordered his troops back.
"I have been teaching for fourteen years, but I have not done enough for half my life. So I use my hands and my clumsy tricks to help my lord and the world, and create peace for all generations."
…
"Array."
Xu Mu put on his silver armor and stood firmly in the wind.
Excluding the three thousand infantrymen brought by Jia Zhou, there were less than ten thousand soldiers left in Fufeng City. When things got urgent, he could only seize a large county and defend it along the river as quickly as possible.
"General Xu, six thousand men have already formed a formation. Otherwise, only a thousand men will be left to defend the city."
"inappropriate."
Xu Mu shook his head. With three thousand people guarding the city, if something bad happened, they could still hold on for some time. If there are thousands of people, there is no way to take care of them.
In this city, there are not only tens of thousands of people, but also many villagers and their families.
He is not a decapitated general, and he cannot conquer the world alone.
Six thousand people is neither too many nor too few. In such a situation, we can only fight with all our strength. If they are defeated, the worst plan is to take the remnants of the army and the villagers and continue towards the barbarian direction.
Exhaling, Xu Mu calmed down quickly. Along the way, he was fighting, otherwise, he was on the way to fight.
Until now, he is no longer a stickman, a brewer in a small village. He has his own army, his own strategists, and his own generals.
Therefore, he cannot lose.
"Wei Xiaowu, put up my camp flag for me!"
Wei Xiaowu, who put on his robe and armor, returned from the border gate, with a rare calmness on his face. With more than a hundred heroes from the Qingtian Camp, they roared and raised the "Xu" flag.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked in the direction of the city entrance. Even Li Dawan, who was the happiest, didn't come to stop him at this moment and stood crying with his wife.
The little maid's wife seemed to have a lot to say, but she only raised her hand and raised it high at him.
Countless people from the village, probably imitating the methods of the little maidservants and wives, each held a bronze mirror to shine away all the monsters and ghosts for their sons and daughters when they went out to fight, leaving nothing to hide.
"If I can fight for half a life and death in exchange for eternal peace, then why not!"
"I hope you will all work together to defeat thieves and promote the reputation of General Xu!"
"Go to war——" Xu Mu raised his sword and pointed angrily.
The silhouettes of three thousand riders were running wildly. Behind them, there were another three thousand bowmen, and with the waving of the "Xu" flag, they stepped into the air.
"Xu Jiajun!"
"Xu Jiajun!!"
