Winter passes quietly, and spring returns to the earth.
A frightened little chick flapped its wings in an unfamiliar manner, and from time to time it would turn its eyes to look at the scene below.
A huge black snake was meandering rapidly along the high mountains to the north of Jijiang River.
"Yuzhou Black Armor!" A general raised his head and shouted, pointing his sword forward.
"After passing Huzhou, we will reach the land of Yezhou!"
"We will march straight in and break through the sixteen counties of Yezhou!"
The sunlight penetrated from the dense forest, making the black armor shine brightly.
"Lord, there is no ambush." Liu Ji was riding on his horse, his tone full of calmness.
Beside him, Tsuneshiro's face was equally calm. It was a rare opportunity to wear golden armor and a long golden cloak, and the bright silver gun of pear wood was hanging under the horse's belly.
…
There is still frost and snow covering the ground in Yanzhou.
Gongsunzu, who had just returned to his territory, also ordered an army of 20,000 troops. He stood silently on the military platform and looked up at the front. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Father, when will the eldest brother and the second brother come back?" Under the stage, a young man with his hair not tied up, riding on a pony, asked seriously.
Gongsunzu did not answer. He turned around and looked at the 20,000 Yanzhou archers in front of him, his eyes full of energy.
…
"The people of Laizhou are just like you, and you can become a king in heaven! Can princes, generals, and prime ministers do it? Why can't we, who are so miserable, do this?"
A heavy-backed man in golden armor looked at a defeated general who was still begging for mercy. A pair of palms as big as cattail leaf fans suddenly slapped the defeated general on both sides of his head.
In an instant, corpse blood spattered.
The army of more than 100,000 civilians started roaring crazily within a short time.
"Sacrifice the flag! One day, I will also be rich and noble!"
…
"Once Chen Changqing dies, our warships in Lingzhou will be the best in the world. Even if it is a land battle, we still have 30,000 mountain Vietnamese troops in Lingwu and Wuzhou." An elegant middle-aged man in armor with an extremely calm face.
Beside the middle-aged man, several leaders of the Shanyue tribe, as well as many generals and counselors, stood firmly behind him, standing in the river wind.
"I, Zuo Shiren, want to fight for the world."
"I respectfully invite all of you to place my Lingzhou dragon flag throughout the nine counties of Chuzhou!"
"Attack Chu!"
…
"It's not your fault that the imperial family is weakening. It's not your fault that the world is divided and divided." A woman covered with gauze stood up from the dragon bed.
After the excitement passed, Yuan An returned to reality, with a look of aggrievedness on his face.
"As I said, this is a temporary measure. Let them fight. After the fighting is over and the damage is broken, I will think of a way and invite reinforcements to help you."
"I'm not good at military strategy. If I hadn't met the queen, I might have been in disaster."
The woman smiled, took a few steps forward, and hugged Yuan An again. Only from an angle that Yuan An couldn't see, Qingguoqingcheng's face showed deep disgust.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. This country is like this. I will help you sit still."
…
"The knights from thirty states have gathered together. Within this year, we will capture the entire Muyun State, and then march eastward to destroy the Cangzhou royal family!"
Li Zhiqiu, wearing white clothes and holding a sword, looked at the thousands of knights and more than 40,000 rebels below.
"I'll wait and use the long sword in my hand to kill Qingming!"
"Thanks to my heroic courage, how dare there be no peace in the world!"
…
In the Shuzhou Palace, information that was already known to the whole world was now placed in front of Xu Mu.
He never thought that spring had just begun, and it was like a fire burning in the sky, burning one after another, causing the whole world to enter into a melee.
"Within this year, at least two big fish will appear." Jia Zhou, who had just finished drinking the medicine, walked into the palace and uttered a sentence.
The big fish is the one who eats up the small fish and becomes stronger and stronger.
"Wenlong, Bolie, what do you two mean?"
"Lord, don't move." The two said almost in unison.
Xu Mu sighed. In his heart, there was no thought of fighting for hegemony. But looking at it now, it is too weak after all.
He had just entered Shu, and he was not as good as those who attacked the princes, those who had surplus food at home, and those who even dared to confuse thousands of people and follow them in rebellion. He originally thought about taking it easy with the knowledge in his mind. Unexpectedly, the blazing fire had already reached the sky.
Of course, Shuzhou's location is very good. But on the contrary, the northwest is the powerful Dong Wen, and the east is the former ally Li Zhiqiu. As for crossing the river to the north, Chang Shilang in the inner city, not to mention.
When he learned that Dong Wen's 70,000-strong army was setting off for the expedition, he thought about whether to steal a tower or something. But it was too late to return to Shu, and it was too late to make preparations.
I heard that Dong Wen had conquered five major cities in just two or three days.
"Dong Wen has won the 'Three Cards of Yanzhou' and is really going to fly." Dongfang Jing frowned, "I heard that the troops have been divided into four groups. Each of the three cards can bring 10,000 people. Dong Wen alone has 40,000 people. It's almost Push flat all the way.”
"Under the disadvantage, there are many county guards in the two states of Anbian and surrender. I estimate that the two states of Anbian will fall soon."
"In this way, Liangzhou Dong Wen will have all the horse breeding land in the three states."
The land for raising horses is so important. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists.
"After the two states have been annexed and lost, if you want to continue to fight for hegemony, my lord thinks that Dong Wen still lacks something."
Xu Mu's tone was calm, "A land that produces grain. Shuzhou is the most suitable place for me."
Jia Zhou nodded calmly, "At least, there should be a battle to stop Dong Wen's momentum. Bo Lie was not wrong. Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the two states are defeated. Going forward, it will be barren. In Dingzhou, the land is barren and there are foreign horse bandits, so he will not be interested."
"So, it can only be Shuzhou."
In the palace, the three of them fell silent for a moment.
Since ancient times, cavalry has been a weapon on the battlefield. Although Shuzhou also produces horses, the number is too rare.
"Lord, let me make a guess." Dongfang Jing spoke again, "With the natural danger of Yuguan, the problem of the nine counties in Sichuan is not big. But in this way, the two counties of Bailu outside the state may fall into the sword. Liangzhou When a large army comes, it can pass through the direction of Duma Pass and enter Shu."
The three of them are not fools, and they will not say anything like "after Liangzhou captures Anbin and the other two states, they will rest and recuperate." It is impossible. The greater probability is that Dong Wen wants to conquer Shuzhou and use it as the granary of Liangzhou.
Big fish eat small fish, even if the fish's belly is full, they still swallow them all.
Xu Mu would not give way to Bailu County outside the state. However, the direction in which Liangzhou sent troops eliminated the advantage of the navy on the river.
According to Xu Mu's original estimate, it would take at least some time for Dong Wen to conquer the two states. But now it seems... it's too fast.
This madman who killed his father and brother was like a wild horse running wild. With the help of Lianghu, he undoubtedly became a powerful hero.
"The rice in Shuzhou has just been planted and sown. The general trend of the world is already in chaos."
"The Su family's daughter's separatist plan last year was a success."
