"What are the common thieves doing?" Dong Wen's face darkened in Liang Palace.
"Shuzhou is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. If there is no mistake, he is taking care of the government affairs of Shuzhou. Although the two are enemies, Xu Buyi can be regarded as a figure." Sima Xiu was silent for a while before speaking.
"Military advisor, what did you say before?"
"My lord, don't be anxious. I have already sent people outside Yumen Pass to survey the Gobi Desert and the mountains leading into Shu."
"Military advisor, I can't wait any longer."
Sima Xiu thought for a while, "Not only the lord, but also Xu Buyi knows that there will eventually be a decisive battle between Liang and Shu. If the lord wins, he will occupy Shuzhou's Tianfu and become the granary of the world. If Xu Buyi wins, the lord will fight for hegemony." With the momentum, we will have to retreat to the cool ground, and it will take at least a few years to catch our breath."
"To the northeast of Liangzhou is the barren land of Dingzhou, and barbarians and horse bandits are raging, and the gains are not worth the losses. And farther to the east, spanning three hundred miles of desolation, is the inner city. Chang Shilang of the inner city It is a ferocious tiger. I suggest that your lord should not make enemies for the time being. Even if you want to fight, you have to wait until the Hebei Four Leagues defeat Chang Shiro. Of course, I feel that the possibility... is not very high."
Sima Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly.
"So, my lord's only choice now is to go in the direction of Shuzhou. But my lord needs to understand that in wars in this troubled world, it is no longer about striking first. The best strategy is always to take advantage of the enemy. The poisonous owl back then That’s true.”
"Military advisor...isn't this passive?"
Sima Xiu shook his head, "No, any situation will develop forward, and an inevitable situation will appear. Like me, like the poisonous owl, I only need to grasp this inevitability, and I will be able to win. Of course, if I guess wrong about this inevitability, , the pattern of using one's tactics to one's own devices is a joke."
"My lord, you must understand that if I send troops into Shu by surprise, it is impossible to capture Shu directly. I need to think about how to elicit an inevitability from Xu Buyi. For example, he will lead his troops out of Yuguan, leaving Shu empty. Or for example, After learning that the strange troops have entered Shu, will he mobilize the army from Bailu County, leaving the two counties outside the state empty?"
"My lord, you can only make great plans if you take advantage of them."
"Military advisor, I understand." Dong Wen stood up and bowed respectfully to Sima Xiu in front of him.
Sima Mao smiled happily.
"The day when my lord achieves hegemony will be the day when our commander, Matthew, retires and returns to his hometown."
Dong Wen was startled, "If that day comes, the military advisor will be the founding hero of the country. I should treat him as a soldier of the country. How can I bear to let the military advisor grow old?"
Sima Xiu raised his head and looked at the scene outside the palace, with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"What our commander, Xiu Xiu, is fighting for is the eternal reputation in the bamboo book, not wealth. Without this kind of mind, how could he dare to go out and assist the lord."
"Lord, please rest assured, I have planted a secret in Shuzhou. This secret will be the killer of Shu in the future."
"Military advisor, is this person reliable?"
Sima Xiu nodded, "Very reliable. He is my only disciple. He has been promoted step by step based on his military exploits."
In the Liang Palace, Dong Wen suddenly burst out laughing.
Listening to Dong Wen's smile, Sima Xiu couldn't speak out the words that came to his lips, and became hesitant to speak.
…
After returning to Shu, Xu Mu was not idle. After spending a few more days of hard work, and relying on my job with a monthly salary of 3,800 yuan, I finally drew a perfect design illustration.
Of course, since I am not used to using the Langhao pen, it looks a bit nondescript.
"Wenlong, do you understand?" Xu Mu was a little worried.
"It's clear." Jia Zhou smiled, looked at it a few more times, and then put the paper down.
"I have to say that my lord's method is very smart. After digging out the Xian Road, the two states will have the ability to rush to rescue quickly. But according to me, my lord dares to stay in peace and be prepared for danger."
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace?"
Jia Zhou nodded, "That's right. When paving the road, place heavy dragon-breaking stones at both ends of the road. If there is any misfortune and Muyun Prefecture or Shu Prefecture is occupied by the enemy, the lord will Retreat to another state, and only wait for the enemy to pursue along the Xiandao Road, then put down the dragon-breaking stone and bury the enemy alive in the mountain. Of course, other places that are easy to be dug out also need to be blocked with thick layers of rocks."
"After all, a long marching army cannot carry a chisel."
"As expected of a poisonous owl..."
"In the past two years, my plans have harmed Tianhe, and I may not live long." Jia Zhou smiled calmly, without any displeasure.
Xu Mu stood, not knowing what to say.
The Jia Wenlong in front of him could be said to have worked hard and exhausted his vitality for his great cause.
"Over in Liangzhou, the Xia'er who infiltrated has not yet sent back any information. The intelligence camp built by Sima Xiu is really capable. After the capture of Muyun Province, the army was on standby on the surface, but secretly, the two sides States are already at war with each other.”
"I guess that Lianghu... must have guessed that I might not be dead yet. But there is no evidence at the moment, so he doesn't dare to make a judgment."
"This Lianghu, between the two of us, we can be considered as rivals in every game. The original Rulong was at least one level behind Lianghu."
An enemy that could even be praised by Jia Zhou showed how powerful he was.
To be honest, if it weren't for the poisonous owl, even Dongfang Jing might not be able to defeat the Liangzhou fox.
"Sima Xiu must be using a secret plan. But there is no need to worry, my lord. I have already said that what I, Jia Wenlong, are best at is to use his plan. When he uses water, I use earth to block it. When he burns fire, I use water to extinguish it. Rather than being controlled by others, a true staff member should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing changes."
Jia Zhou's words reminded Xu Mu of those traders who kept an eye on the market for a long time and were trying to strike from behind.
There is a saying in the book of war, it is said to be invincible if you act first. It means that a true general must first not be defeated by the enemy, and then have the opportunity to defeat the enemy.
The wisdom of the ancients is truly mysterious.
"There are still many small battles over Chao Yi's side. I guess Sima Xiu is hiding something. My lord can choose another group of Night Owl Camps and follow Shuzhou back and forth to investigate."
"Wenlong's clever plan."
Jia Zhou smiled and said, "To be honest, my lord, if there is still a chance, I really want to sit down with that Lianghu and drink a few cups of fragrant tea. It has nothing to do with war, friends or enemies, just to drink a few cups of tea." "
"Wen Long, when we capture Liangzhou and capture Sima Xiu alive, we will naturally have a chance." Xu Mu's face became full of fighting spirit.
Again, there will be a decisive battle between Shu and Liang. Whoever wins will take a big step to dominate the world.
"Okay, I will wait for the good news from my lord."
