The battle against Shu in Liangzhou ended with Dong Wen's defeat. According to Xu Mu's statement, it was like breaking one of Dong Wen's legs and fleeing north in a hurry.

If we talk about merit, the young military advisor Dongfang Jing must be the first to achieve merit. The sixth conspiracy in the world, which cannot be hidden, is finally going to be famous all over the world.

"It's the master's great blessings and the teacher's teachings." Sitting on the wooden wheel, Dongfang Jing didn't have any arrogance.

This appearance made Xu Mu even more happy. His right-hand man will one day follow him to compete in the thirty states of the world.

"Here, Military Advisor Dongfang Jing is the Order of Taicang in Shuzhou. Together with Military Advisor Du E, he is in charge of the internal affairs of Shuzhou."

It's not the emperor. What he gave Dongfang Jing was, to a large extent, more like appointing retainers. But as for these, Si Hu's invincible general, Han Jiu's Po Liang general... everyone knows it well.

Unless one day these people follow him, take over the world, and start a new dynasty, they will be truly established for eternity, and they will be granted the title of marquis and the prime minister.

"The battle to stop the Liang people was a display of Shuzhou's majesty, and the results were abundant. It's a pity that the lord can't take advantage of the situation and go north."

First, Dong Wen took the remaining tens of thousands of troops and quickly retreated to Liangzhou without any delay. Secondly, the foundation of Shuzhou is like a small tree swaying in the wind and rain, and you must be careful every step of the way.

He was as strong as Uncle Chang, but he took too big a step, and was even stabbed in the back by the dwarf king, Tiger Poison, eating his cubs.

"Lord, it's time to build a wall on the front road outside Yuguan."

Dongfang Jing has already mentioned a similar statement. However, the war was intense, the tiger barbarians were broken, and winter came again. After the cold winter, people from Liang came to attack Shu again.

"Send a general to guard the city." Jia Zhou also nodded.

Xu Mu had a plan on his mind. Not many of the old guys who followed him could fight, and even with the newly promoted Han Jiu, they were still very few.

When Han Jiu followed Dongfang Jing to fight against the odds, he felt like "there are no generals in Shuzhou, so Han Jiu is the vanguard".

"How about Chai Zong?"

"General Chai followed Dingbei Marquis and fought many tough battles. He is considered a strong general. But... Chai Zong went to the front road of Yuguan, over to Nanlin County——"

Many people's eyes were looking in the direction of Han Jiu.

Han Jiu, who was not used to sitting in the meeting hall, was stunned for a moment.

"My lord, two strategists, please don't look at me. I will ride over there tomorrow! But I have made a promise first. If Liang Gou dares to come, I will follow the little strategist to fight."

"No problem... Han Jiu, go to Nanlin County and learn more about the art of war. One day, I will lead you to defeat Shuzhou."

"Lord, don't worry!" Han Jiu looked happy.

In the direction of Nanlin County, there were not only 10,000 soldiers, but also the border troops stationed in the fields, and Madam Luan Yu's thousands of barbarian camps. As long as Han Jiu did not make a charge and guarded the walled city at the pass, there would be basically no problem.

"Wenlong, where is Chen Zhong."

"A letter came, saying that the trip back and forth to Chengdu was too long, and I was afraid that the Liang people might suddenly break out and attack by surprise. However, the lord's reward was also sent over."

"He has a calm and cautious temperament, and he is indeed a good general."

Chen Zhong's loyalty is beyond doubt. A person who cares about the continuation of his family will not let the Chen family members who remain in Chengdu suffer the disaster even if he dies.

"Night Owl has recently received information." Xu Mu paused, and his words became a little heavy, "Chuzhou in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River has been attacked by land and water by a man named Lingwang Zuo Shiren, and captured half of the state. Chu. The king of the state was desperate and asked the Cangzhou royal family for help."

"Of course they won't be saved." Jia Zhou looked determined, "That Su family woman wishes that the world would become more and more chaotic. Only in this way can this dying little court have a chance to take advantage of the chaos."

Xu Mu nodded.

"It's a pity that the identity of that woman has not yet been found out. It is hidden too deep. If she is an ordinary businessman's daughter, her planning skills are a bit scary."

"My lord, don't worry, no matter how cunning the fox is, his tail will eventually show."

"As Wen Long said."



It was getting close to dusk, and the rare Shuzhou military meeting ended. After sending the two military advisors to the courtyard, Xu Mu had time to go around to the backyard of the palace.

Passing by, I found Si Hu riding the Qiang horse he had brought, showing off to the puppy Fu.

"Little dog Fu, go and tell everyone that a bunch of candied haws can be ridden once. Eight steamed buns can be ridden for half a day. If someone makes steamed cakes and steals half a basket, my brother Hu will help him lead the horse. , take him for a walk in the city."

Xu Mu was deeply impressed when he heard this. I dare you to fight so hard to snatch a good horse, just to use it as a cheat.

"Xu Lang!"

As soon as they walked around the corner, Li Dawan came holding a porcelain jar and shouted with a red face. In the porcelain pot, the wolfberry floating on the soup surface is as big as a fingernail.

"Li Dawan, how much did you bet this time?"

"Eight coins!" Li Dawan raised his little face, with a hint of shyness and a hint of resentment.

"Fight or not? Do you dare not to fight?"

"beat……"

Li Dawan dragged Xu Mu into the house furiously.

The night spread over Chengdu and came out.



"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Liangzhou City!"

Dong Wen raised his head and looked at Liangzhou City in front of him, without any joy in his heart. An army of more than 100,000 people attacked Shu, and only about 50,000 remnant troops were left, fleeing all the way north.

In less than a month, they suffered a huge defeat.

Three generals of the Zhang family were killed in the battle, and Zhuo Yuanzi, the second most important counselor, also died in front of Yuguan. There were tens of thousands of troops and countless Liang horses and Qiang horses, all of them were gone.

"Military advisor, I don't accept it."

In the carriage, Sima Xiu, who was holding Shahu, slowly walked down.

"This battle to conquer Shu was lost to the arrogant soldier's strategy. Xu Buyi obtained the cool horse armor. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future." Sima Xiu paused and continued, "My lord, if you want to conquer Shu again, why don't you go Find an alliance."

"An alliance?"

Sima Xiu nodded, "Anyone in the several states of Xiangjiang who has a grudge against Xu Buyi is an ally of the Lord."

"Military advisor, what do you mean-"

"My lord, you need to understand that no matter how we fight. To the inner city, or to the barren Dingzhou, Xu Buyi's Shuzhou is like a mountain wolf, watching closely, and you will never be at ease."

"Military advisor, I understand the truth...but this may go against the morale of the military and public opinion."

"It's okay." Sima Xiu shook his head, "My lord is not taking the path of Xu Buyi. On the contrary, in this way, we can win over some royalist families in the three northwest states."

"Furthermore, we only form a secret alliance. That female military advisor is also a smart person. You should understand the reason."

"What if she refuses."

"If my lord were in one state, she might not be willing. But my lord occupies three states in the northwest. Even if you say 'seek skin from a tiger,' I guess she will think of herself as a tiger."

"I remember that there are still a few young members of the Dong family's royal family. My lord can choose one of them to go over. They all want Xu Buyi to die, so there is no harm in sharing the same boat."

Sima Xiu bowed his head and saluted, hugged Shahu, and walked forward in a deep step.
