"So, this iron carriage... what is it called a tank? And this iron bird, you are so stupid!" Chen Datie was so angry that he tore the drawing into pieces.
Xu Mu chuckled, "Master Tie, I just draw it randomly. Just for your enjoyment."
It's really a joy, mainly because of my inner thoughts, no one can say anything. After all, this kind of thing is simply impossible in today's world. Everything must follow the laws of development.
"You draw an egg! I don't know what's in your mind!" Chen Datie kept chattering, "I won't talk about other messy things... However, the spear you drew is interesting, it is over three feet long. Although I I also understand the principle of strength with every inch, but if a weapon like this is approached by the enemy, it will be very miserable."
"What do you call a horse and a gun?"
"Macedonian Spear."
"It's weird." Chen Datie cursed, "If you save these iron materials, maybe you can make thousands more repeating crossbows."
"Master Tie, you said even the crossbow was weird at first."
"Did I say it? If you say another word, I will go drink and quit!"
Xu Mu hurriedly apologized and tried to calm down the old craftsman's temper.
Even if only a few hundred of these spears are made, they will probably be of great use when the time comes. Of course, this kind of military formation is not without its drawbacks. But under the current circumstances, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After walking out of the iron workshop, Xu Mugang was about to breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Sun Xun was found running towards him in a hurry.
"My lord, there is an urgent report from Muyun Prefecture!"
In Duyunzhou, Li Zhiqiu.
He just opened the letter and took the information sent by Ye Xiao. Xu Mu frowned while looking at it.
The contents of the letter are very simple.
The general idea is that the royal family in Cangzhou began to issue a proclamation against thieves, and an army of more than 50,000 people, led by the four eagles in Cangzhou, began to rush to Muyun State.
"How dare you?" Xu Mu tore the letter into pieces and found that Si Hu was not around, so he simply swallowed it in his mouth.
Logically speaking, the small court in Cangzhou would not dare to move without any help from foreign aid. He will only try his best to defend Cangzhou and continue the imperial majesty that is still lingering.
"I guess Cangzhou has allies." After learning the news, Jia Zhou uttered in a solemn voice, "As I said before, if there are no allies, then the Su family will not think of going on a conquest."
"After all, what she originally meant was that I wanted to muddy the waters of the thirty states in the world, and then fish in troubled waters... But she took advantage of the situation, which was completely unexpected."
"Are you an ally?" Xu Mu's face was cold.
On the second or third day, Ye Xiao sent three pieces of information in succession. The content is similar, except that Li Zhiqiu's situation is starting to get bad.
"Why is this happening?"
Next to Muyunzhou is the knight king Li Zhiqiu. With the friendship between the two parties, there will be no problem for the time being. Shuzhou is safe and sound.
But if the royal family captures Muyun State again, the situation will be different. In this case, the fourteen counties of Shuzhou will be completely caught in the middle.
Vaguely, Xu Mu smelled a conspiracy.
"Xia King Li Zhiqiu took the last 30,000 people, abandoned the two counties in the south, and retreated to the north of Muyun State to defend the pass." Xu Mu's brows were still frowning.
"Under this general situation, interests are driving... Wenlong, Bo Lie, do you think it is possible that Liangzhou is the back-up man?"
Jia Zhou and Dongfang Jing, who were in the palace, sighed and nodded after thinking for a while.
…
"That woman is not simple." Sima Xiu smiled, "What she wants is not just to support the court. However, she is a strange woman who can feed a tiger with her own body."
"Military advisor, Cangzhou's army has already rushed to Muyun Prefecture. As for Li Zhiqiu, who was in ruins, he had to give up his great advantage and retreated to the three counties to the south of Muyun Prefecture. If the fight continues, I don't think Muyun Prefecture can stop it. living."
"Not only the royal army, but also the Muyunzhou rebels who surrendered to the imperial court. If added together, there should be 70,000 or 80,000 people. It's a pity that the chief rudder of the thirty states has no fighting ability. How powerful it must be.”
Sima Xiu nodded.
"There are not many people like Xu Buyi in the world. Taking over the fourteen counties of Shuzhou in half a year is already a terrible thing."
"But he's going to be finished!" Dong Wen sneered.
Sima Xiu also understood the meaning of this sentence. This situation was originally planned for Shuzhou.
This hard nut... is too hard to chew.
That's why he asked Dong Wen to form a secret alliance with the Cangzhou royal family. The two sides no longer cared about each other, and there seemed to be an inexplicable friendship.
It's a very simple truth. If the same enemy dares to join forces, it will be in the greatest interests.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
Sima Xiu thought for a while, "My lord is still recruiting troops and taming horses in the three northwest states... In addition, my lord needs to send an additional 10,000 troops to Yanmen Beiguan in Bingzhou. To guard the foreign horse bandits, the people of the three northwest states can slow down Return slowly."
"What about those Croats who use their hus to control hus?"
"Try to gather them together. If you don't want to surrender, then exterminate the clan. Although there are only three thousand troops left, they are still brave. I hope they can be smarter."
Sima Xiu stood up, and the Shahu next to him threw himself into his arms affectionately.
"If Shuzhou cannot be captured and Xu Buyi is lying beside him, the lord's dominance will not be able to develop. The second step of my strategy for the three northwest states will start from Shuzhou."
The first move, which was to consolidate the two states, was already a success.
"I would like to listen to what the military advisor has to say." Dong Wen smiled respectfully.
"No one could have imagined that a small brewing owner who started from humble beginnings would reach this point. Let him stop at this step."
Since he couldn't chew a bone that was difficult to chew for a while, he continued to cook it until the bone was soft and soft, and then invited two or three wild dogs to chew it together.
"This time we conquered Shu, we only lost three generals of the Zhang family." Dong Wen's voice was filled with a sigh.
The three generals of the Zhang family were his military advisers, and they had finally "cheated" them into Liangzhou by using tricks. I had just helped to defeat An Bing, but I never expected that I would be famous for being killed three times by a crippled little strategist.
"Military advisor, do you have any other generals to recommend?"
Sima Xiu was silent for a while, "My lord, don't be anxious, I will think of a way. Next time I capture other states, my lord's murderous intent will finally be restrained. Not all talented people in the world are like me, and they don't like tyrants." .”
Dong Wen was not angry at all, "Don't worry, military advisor, I will listen to you."
"There is another person who also has a grudge against Xu Buyi. I will try to persuade him."
After saying that, Sima Xiu bowed his head and saluted, hugged Shahu and turned around to leave.
Outside Liangzhou City.
The voices of several Liangzhou generals who were recruiting soldiers were like roars.
"My lord, King Liang, is the chosen one. One day, my army from the three northwest states will lead you to conquer the north and south in troubled times and create a new dynasty!"
"Those who join the army are all our good men from Liangzhou!"
…
The sound spread so far that even the sandy wind outside the city suddenly became anxious.
