Two days later. News of General Bai Lin's defeat spread back to Chengdu.
Sitting high on the stage, the two kings of Shu looked at each other. After a long time, a roar of anger echoed through the entire palace.
"Transfer troops back to Chengdu to support Chengdu!" Dou Gang, the king of Shu, said in a panic.
"The commoner thief entered Shu all the way, and his army was unstoppable. Even the general Bai Lin defeated the nine counties in Shu, who can stop him!"
Dou Gang's eyes bulged, "Just tell me who can stop him!"
The King of Western Shu closed his eyes and said nothing, his body trembling faintly as he sat upright.
The White Armor Army, the Tiger Barbarian Army, and the 20,000 elite soldiers led by Bai Lin. The civilian thieves came all the way, like soldiers from heaven descending to earth.
"Is Bai Lin dead? What happened? Don't you dare return to the capital to apologize and commit suicide?"
"The general led more than ten thousand remaining troops to enter the Human tribe to suppress the bandits."
"What kind of bandits did you suppress! This old guy kept talking about the suffering of the people and the inhumanity of the savages, but what did he do! He is a disloyal and unjust man! No wonder he wants to exterminate his family!"
"Come here, come to the General's Mansion in a bloodbath! No servants, guards, or the family members surnamed Bai will be spared!"
"Wang, there is only one Mrs. Bai in the Bai family. It seems that she received the letter and hanged herself."
Dou Gang gasped and slumped down on the throne with difficulty, "Add, mobilize an army of 30,000, and quickly return to Chengdu to aid!"
…
Seven hundred miles outside Chengdu lies Mangmang Valley.
Guannai defended to death.
Outside the pass, they camped in place. Countless patrolling Liangzhou cavalry roared past the Yuguan Pass.
The requisitioned Liangzhou civilians sang chants loudly and continuously sent siege baggage and grain and fodder into the camp.
Dong Rong was wearing battle armor and riding a horse, with a calm and fearless face. He raised his head and looked at the gate not far away. The crowded defenders were constantly setting up arrow stacks one after another, beating Yaksha and rolling logs, and hurriedly carried them up the city wall.
Dong Rong laughed.
This time, he didn't want to fight. Only a fool would attack such a powerful gate and waste his troops.
Of course, he understood his father's intention to make friends with commoners all over the world and learn how to ride. Wait for the commoner to occupy Shuzhou before forming an alliance.
In this way, Liangzhou will not have to worry about looking south, and the men of Liangzhou's cavalry can go to Bingzhou and Anzhou to attack the city and seize territory, breaking Liangzhou's trapped situation.
"One day, when I become the king of Liangzhou, I will lead 70,000 Liangzhou troops, march safely and unite the two states, and show my majesty as a man of Liangzhou."
Dong Rong raised his iron spear, and behind him, the following generals and many personal guards raised their spears and roared continuously.
…
"This brother of mine is a bit extraordinary."
In the forest east of Yuguan, two people stood side by side. To be precise, it should be two people and a fox.
"What a legitimate son of the king of Liangzhou. He can lead the army to ensure peace and prosperity, and govern to bring peace to the people." Dong Wen showed a calm smile, and then slowly turned his head.
"My strategist, what do you think?"
Next to Dong Wen, a young man wearing a plain robe silently raised his face to face the sun.
Eagle eyes, fox face, light beard.
The young man raised his hand, and the sand fox holding a tit in its mouth quickly ran to him.
When the sand fox spit out the tits, Dong Wen discovered that at some point, the captive sand fox had already preyed on seven or eight tits, bit them to death and left them on the ground.
"The legitimate son of the King of Liangzhou is incomparable to you."
"Mr. Sima, why is this?" Dong Wen laughed again.
"People who are too righteous cannot help each other. I can imagine that one day he becomes the king of Liangzhou, and the entire Liangzhou will become rich and prosperous, and its soldiers will be brave. In the future, if he takes down An and merges the two states, he will be the leader in troubled times. A hero."
Picking up Shahu, Sima Xiu closed his eyes, "But these things are just a bowl of confusing soup for people like Xiao Fu Zian."
"You are different. You are a person who cannot be charmed even after drinking the magic soup. The ambition in your chest is enough to turn you into a madman."
"And I, Liang Hu, like madmen. In this world, there is no way to live without madness. For example, this time you dare to shoot your brother with your own hands for the sake of the throne."
"I have been hiding for twenty-three years, and the whole world knows it."
Sima Xiu suppressed his voice, calmly stroked the sand fox's fur, and said no more.
"Military advisor, I want to compete among the thirty states in this world."
Sima Xiu didn't answer and stood quietly aside.
Dong Wen smiled lightly, but his face, which was clearly in the sunshine, became a little gloomy for a moment.
"Last year I brought the Tiger Talisman into the inner city and met the legendary Little Marquis. He almost spotted me, but fortunately, he didn't have much time. Haha, this penalty sign that all ambitious people are afraid of has finally fallen. At that time, I was thinking about what the thirty states in the world would look like once the last pillar of Daji fell."
Taking off the iron bow he was carrying, Dong Wen's tone remained calm.
"The military advisor may not know that over the years, although my brother has been a bit harsh, he has always treated me well. I owe him at least half my life."
"My mother didn't give me tangerines that year. It was my brother who asked someone to give me some citrus secretly."
Catching a poisoned arrow, Dong Wen laughed.
"Once, my second brother and his slaves bullied me. I was afraid of being exposed. I never fought back and some of them were almost beaten to death. It was my eldest brother who also invited Doctor Wang into my small hospital without telling my father. hospital."
Sima Xiu beside him was neither sad nor happy.
"But if he doesn't die, it won't be my turn to take the throne." Putting the poisonous arrow on his bow, Dong Wen spat out the last sentence, his eyes suddenly sharp.
"Dong Wen, respectfully invite my brother Dong Rong to die!"
Bang.
The poisonous arrows roared out from the mountain forest without any mercy, having used up all their strength.
Turning around, Dong Wen put the iron bow on his back again and walked steadily.
In just a short while, countless Liangzhou soldiers screamed in surprise from the direction down the mountain, accompanied by howls of grief that filled the sky.
"Disciple of Liangzhou Langjian, you are really hiding deep." Sima Mao finally said with a smile.
"Military advisor, it's time to change your tune."
"Sima Xiu pays homage to the Lord."
"Get up."
Amid the mournful roars that filled the sky, Dong Wen never looked back. He took out the wine gourd from his waist, sprinkled half of the gourd, raised his head, and drank half of the gourd.
"As soon as my brother dies, the Liangzhou army will retreat. It's not good for Xu Buyi to enter Shu. It's not a good thing. It's a hard thing. No matter what, I don't want him to keep too many troops." Dong Wen covered his pockmarked face steadily.
Beside him, Sima Xiu also covered his pockmarked face.
"Military advisor, wait until I return to Liangzhou and kill the second brother. It's time for you and me to leave the mountain."
"Wish to follow."
"In the twenty-three years of Tibet, no one knows about it, except General Dingbian and the king of other states. In this small city of Liangzhou, there is also a down-and-out little prince, waiting for the pillars of the great era to collapse."
"If he collapses, the whole era will collapse."
"Military advisor, let's go fight for the world."
The two figures, one behind the other, slowly disappeared in the mountain forest.
…
The sun began to become dazzling, and outside Yuguan, the 40,000 Liangzhou Army was filled with sadness.
