"Lord, Zuo Shiren has replied."
Only when Xu Mu walked into the palace did he find that the two military advisors on his left and right arms were already sitting inside.
Zuo Shiren's reply was the matter of the meeting. If successful, the two families will temporarily form an alliance.
But Xu Mu always felt that it was not easy.
Shuzhou is too weak.
The three northwest states are the little crybaby Dong Wen, and the two states in the east are also the old enemy of the Cangzhou royal family. Regardless of his virtues and abilities, Zuo Shiren was willing to wade into this muddy water.
Unless it is said that he has enough interests to make Zuo Shiren tempted.
"Wenlong, tell me."
Holding the teapot, he poured a cup for the two military advisors one by one. For some reason, he likes to serve tea to others recently.
Throughout Shuzhou, more and more people are willing to serve him tea.
Jia Zhou, who was sitting on the chair, nodded and said, "Lord, Zuo Shiren agreed to the location I chose earlier..."
Xu Mu put down the teapot and frowned.
"This is strange. Bolie, am I handsome enough?"
"My lord...it's not ugly." Dongfang Jing, an honest man, hurriedly answered with his hands in hand.
"That's it." Xu Mu sat down, "I don't understand why he agreed. Shuzhou is located in the southwest. Seriously, it should not be in his interests."
"The letter said that we can discuss the specific matters after the Lord has gone. The chosen location is at the border of Kezhou."
Kezhou does not have much sense of existence. It's a big family named Huang, with 30,000 people, and it's temporarily in charge. He didn't dare to claim the title of king, but instead hugged everyone everywhere. Today he would give a girl to Uncle Chang, and tomorrow he would give money to Zuo Shiren. In short, he was a well-rounded person.
Another point is that there are many miasma in Kezhou. It is probably these miasma that have become a natural protection.
"Although the border at Kezhou is more than six hundred miles away from Bailu County after crossing the river, if something happens, Dou Tong can send a cavalry battalion to support as quickly as possible."
"I'm naturally at ease with the place Wen Long chose." Xu Mu nodded. Until now, he still couldn't guess what Zuo Shiren wanted, or rather, what he wanted from him.
"Wenlong, when."
"About three days later. Have you noticed, my lord, that Zuo Shiren has been banned after he captured Chuzhou?"
Dongfang Jing, who was beside him, thought for a while and then spoke.
"My lord, there must be one person in the world who will destroy the royal family. I am thinking that Zuo Shiren's conditions are probably here."
"With the reputation of being benevolent in the world, he will definitely not dare to attack the royal family first, even if it means rebellion. To silence the people of the world, he needs a reason."
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It's really that simple. As early as Changyang abandoned his official position, he had already thought of a way to kill Yuan An.
In feudal society, the thoughts of king, father and ministers can easily lead to catastrophe if not handled properly.
He understands.
Zuo Shiren understood better.
The royal family surnamed Yuan is like a cancer that hurts whoever picks it. Regardless of how Uncle Chang cursed all day long, if he really wanted to kill the emperor... little Yuan An would have died at least eight times.
If you don't have half of your country, don't touch this problem head-on. You can rub it, you can scratch it, if you really want to pick it off, probably half of the people in Shuzhou will stab him in the spine.
When the situation is weak, every step will startle your heart.
After pondering for a while, Xu Mu calmly said, "Wenlong, I will leave this matter to you to prepare. In three days, I will go and meet with Zuo Shiren."
"What kind of person should he be if he is famous in the world?"
…
"How long will it take?" Li Dawan's face was filled with pity. The wolfberry tea in my hand was still steaming.
"I forgot to tell Xu Lang that Sister Lian recently taught me another earth recipe. I also asked Miracle Doctor Chen and he said it's feasible."
"What recipe..."
"Eat the forest clam raw, you eat it."
"Madam, I am not feeling well today." Xu Mu turned around and ran forward.
Li Dawan, holding wolfberry tea, chased after him with murderous intent.
"Li Dawan, you weren't like this before!"
"Fight or not?"
"How about we fight again tomorrow?"
"The second round tomorrow? I'll make wolfberry tea twice."
"Li Dawan, you are an official lady after all."
"The official lady... also wants to have a baby."
"I, Xu Mu, will go to the battlefield again today and stop fighting tomorrow?"
"That's right."
In the pavilion in the backyard of the palace, Si Hu smelled the fingers that were picking at his feet. His eyes bulged for a moment and he almost choked.
"Puppy Fu, what are they talking about?"
"Beat the glutinous rice cake, beat it soft and then steam it, it will be more delicious."
Under the oil lamp in the pavilion, the little dog Fu held a bamboo book and read it with gusto.
Si Hu mumbled.
"These books can't be used as steamed buns. If you read them a hundred times, they won't taste good. The puppy looks like a fool."
Puppy Fu put down his book, and he has lost his previous naughty appearance. His behavior and conversation are somewhat like the bookishness of the boy next door.
"The fragrance of books is better than that of mutton soup. When I am old enough to wear my hair, I will be a general and help my employer conquer the country."
"Besides, Brother Tiger, I'm famous."
"Very famous."
"My father's surname is Han, and my name is Han Xing. I want to be familiar with the art of war, like the second military division of the Great Army. Sooner or later, my name, Han Xing, will be famous all over the world."
Si Hu stood up, cursed and left the pavilion.
…
The early morning sunshine has just spread across the entire city of Chengdu. Xu Mu was already rubbing his waist and walking towards the palace with trembling legs.
"My lord, is he sick?" Dongfang Jing looked anxious.
Jia Zhou turned his head and smiled without saying a word.
"The bed was broken yesterday...it took most of the night to repair it." Xu Mu coughed twice and sat on the throne again.
Only after Xu Mu sat firmly did Jia Zhou clear his old voice and speak slowly.
"Information from the Night Owl Group shows that the Croats passed through the inner city and detoured to Xiangjiang River. Along the way, the King of Yuzhou was not in trouble and even sent a few more carts of food and grass."
"This old boy is quite loyal." Xu Mu stopped rubbing his waist and smiled rarely.
"Dou Tong has sent people to take care of them. As long as they cross the river, these more than 20,000 Croats can enter Shu safely."
"More than 20,000 people? Chao Yi said, there seem to be more than 30,000 people."
"When I left Bingzhou, I was discovered by a battalion of Dong Wen's Liangqi, and they charged and killed them. Fortunately, I won."
Xu Mu couldn't imagine the disaster that would happen if he didn't win. Of course, if the Croats continue to stay in Bingzhou, they will also die.
No matter what, the big stone hanging on Xu Mu's chest finally relaxed. Before meeting with Zuo Shiren, he had to straighten out these matters in Shuzhou.
"Where's Xiaoyao?"
"Rulong used blinding techniques and has already passed the inner city... heading towards Liangzhou, getting closer and closer. There is no reply from Li Xiaoyao for the time being."
This news made Xu Mu frown and fell into silence.
Again, he didn't want to be like a dragon. Such a vengeful person would definitely be killed.
