Shuzhou ushered in a spring rain. The raindrops, as precious as oil, fell on the hillside outside Chengdu and in the fields, moistening things silently.
"The previous rice seeds have been planted in the fields. According to the Lord's method, there should be a big surplus after this autumn harvest."
The mulberry farming methods of later generations played a lot of roles in Xu Mu's hands. Accumulating grain and casting weapons can be regarded as the first step.
"Spring has begun, and there have been chaotic wars under the sky for more than a month." Jia Zhou paused, "The military report from Liangzhou showed that Dong Wen's 40,000-strong army marched straight in and swallowed up most of Anzhou. His three Zhang family generals also outflanked and cooperated, bypassing the rear and dividing the coalition forces in Bingzhou."
"In the two states of Anbian, there were many wealthy families who surrendered in the hope of the wind. They only accepted 30,000 surrendered soldiers. Dong Wen immediately sent out 20,000 Liang troops to defend the border of Liangzhou."
Jia Zhou sighed, "It should be like a sentence. Hidden for twenty-three years, the whole world will know it. There is a saying in the cold land, giving birth to a child should be like Dong Yixiao."
Yixiao is Dong Wen's nickname, which is somewhat ironic.
Xu Mu's face was silent for a while as he listened.
Again, Liangzhou is so powerful that it will definitely be a disaster for Shuzhou.
"However, the king of Yuzhou is in the north. Although he is not an ally, he is an ally. In a short period of time, he can indirectly curb the momentum of Dongwen, the king of Liangzhou."
"Chang Silang also went on an expedition earlier. The army is powerful and the King of Yanzhou is responding. The problem is not big——"
"Lord! Information about the Night Owl Group!" Just as Xu Mu was speaking, Han Jiu suddenly stepped in from outside the palace.
After taking the letter, Xu Mu lowered his head and glanced at it for a few times before his face became shocked. Then, he stood up hurriedly, and wanted to walk out with a serious face.
"Lord, what happened?" Jia Zhou didn't understand. In my impression, my lord is such a calm person, why is he suddenly acting like this?
Xu Mu gritted his teeth and handed the letter to Jia Zhou with trembling hands.
"Wenlong... Sunzu, the prince of Yanzhou, stabbed the Yuzhou army in the back!"
When Jia Zhou heard this, his expression suddenly paused. He glanced at the letter a few times and his brows became extremely solemn.
"My lord, you said earlier that Gongsun Zu personally entered the inner city and offered two protons in order to reassure the King of Yuzhou?"
"It is indeed his biological son. Chang Shiro is not stupid. This matter cannot be fooled."
"Tiger's poison does not eat its children... He stabbed the King of Yuzhou in the back, and the two hostages will definitely die. King Yanzhou, what a cruel move."
Xu Mu's face was cold, thinking of the little dwarf prince who stood in front of him at that moment, always looking like Maitreya Buddha and smiling broadly.
The intelligence content said that 20,000 Yanzhou archers were suddenly surrounded by the coalition forces. Chang Shilang raised 30,000 troops to respond, but he did not know that it was a trap.
Thirty thousand Yuzhou troops were surrounded and suppressed by nearly 100,000 coalition troops on the edge of the Sujiang River. Only 8,000 people died in the battle. In the end, Tsuneshiro fought and retreated, clinging to a small town.
"My lord wants to save you."
"I have this idea."
Jia Zhou calmly shook his head, "It's a long road. Even if the lord goes now, it won't help. This is the situation of the King of Yanzhou. He will definitely take many factors into consideration."
"If I'm not wrong, the King of Yanzhou has reached an offensive and defensive agreement with the coalition forces of the three states in Hebei. He is a sensible person. If the King of Yuzhou takes over the four states in Hebei, he will definitely die in Yanzhou. Although You can protect yourself wisely, but Yanzhou has completely become the horse breeding land of the King of Yuzhou."
"For now, I can only hope that the Nine-Fingered One can break this situation." Jia Zhou paused, with a hint of expectation in his voice.
"In other words, people like the King of Yuzhou will not die easily. The King of Yanzhou is like the first stone that stumbles on his path to dominance."
"He is like an ancient overlord."
…
On the border of Huzhou, Zhefeng City.
The spreading mountains dominate the sky and are equally beautiful with the Sujiang River behind the city.
A remnant army of about several thousand men in black armor, holding halberds and iron shields with difficulty, stood at the top of the city, looking at the vast army outside the city.
Each face was covered with all kinds of dust, smoke and wounds.
"Yuzhou Heijia, straighten your spine!"
"call."
"The infantry and bow battalions are in place! If the Northern Dogs dare to approach, shoot them immediately!"
In Zhefeng City, more than ten Yuzhou generals kept speaking angrily to boost the morale of the troops.
There is no defensive equipment in the city.
For a retreating army, not only the baggage but also the food and grass have become the biggest problem.
"My lord, the enemy has sent an envoy."
On top of a wooden stake, Changshiro was full of anger. His golden lion helmet was gone, and only his hair was scattered. The golden armor he was wearing was stained with blood. The bright silver spear made of pear wood in his hand, with its red tassels, was blown around by the strong wind.
He stood up.
Near him, more than 800 spear guards also stood up.
Outside Zhefeng City, the river wind was also howling.
Gongsunzu closed his eyes slightly, his short body was riding on a colt, and his face was full of solemnity. Beside him, there were also four people wearing golden armor, laughing wildly.
Eighty thousand people surrounded Fengcheng.
The king of Yuzhou only had a remnant army of less than 5,000 people, so what could he use to defend it?
Of course, persuading someone to surrender is not persuading someone to surrender, but more like a form of humiliation. At first the king of Yanzhou refused, but the four kings of Hebei finally wanted to take revenge.
The little bully in the inner city will die here this time.
"The king of Yuzhou, Chang Xiaotang, surrender the city as soon as possible. If not, our Hebei army breaks through the city gates, and I will kill you with five horses -"
Chi!
An ordinary iron spear impaled the envoy who was delivering the message to death under the city gate, including his men and horses.
On the top of the city, Chang Shiro with disheveled hair stepped onto the city head coldly.
"I know you are in the military formation. Just listen carefully. The Gongsun family of Yanzhou will be exterminated by you!"
Not far away, Gongsunzu, who was riding a pony, silently opened his eyes. He didn't answer, and there was an unspeakable complexity on his face.
His two sons will definitely die.
He couldn't set up this trap unless his two sons entered the inner city and died.
He is also a king, even if he is just a dwarf, he still wants to compete in these thousands of miles of clouds and mountains.
Is there anything wrong?
Nothing wrong.
In a troubled world, it is nothing more than seeing who can eat the strongest and survive to the end. Intrigues and intrigues are just the seasoning for the next meal.
"Gongsunzu, I have met the King of Yuzhou."
"The situation is clear. My grandson and grandson respectfully invite the King of Yuzhou to die!"
"I respectfully invite the King of Yuzhou to die——"
The four kings of Hebei and even countless northern warriors all spoke angrily.
On the top of the city, Chang Shiro looked up to the sky and laughed.
The river wind suddenly became violent, blowing his disheveled hair to stand on end. He roared angrily, and the bright silver spear of pear wood struck the stone slab, causing cracks to spread instantly.
"Come here!" Chang Shilang looked like a ferocious beast.
"Come on!"
Behind him, the remaining five thousand Yuzhou troops roared in unison.
