"Sun Xun will guard the training ground. In addition, Han Jiu has an impatient temper and needs someone to help him. I have told Wang Shen to stay in the palace these days." Xu Mu spoke calmly while sitting in the carriage with him.
Wang Shenzhi, whose real name is Wang Yong, is a great scholar in Chengdu. Previously, he was imprisoned by the Dou family for admonishing the people of Shuzhou. It was not until Xu Mu entered Shu that he was reactivated.
A bit pedantic, but calm-tempered, and after all, he knows all kinds of etiquette and customs, as well as some strategies. The previous sacrifices to heaven and various rituals and customs were all conducted by this old Confucian.
"If there is Wang Shenzhi, he should be able to alert Han Jiu."
Xu Mu nodded, silently opened the carriage curtain, and looked out at the bleak scenery.
As winter approaches, the green hills on both sides of the Shu Road begin to fade away, leaving only a withered yellow color, which makes them look a bit sad.
The army is marching in a hurry.
The endless sound of footsteps filled the sky with smoke and dust from time to time.
It is not that there are no assistants accompanying him, but they are only few in number. But those who can follow him to cut the Liang Dynasty are the old soldiers of the Xu family army who followed Xu Mu all the way to reject Beidi and enter Shuzhou.
At this moment, a middle-aged general held his sword and kept riding his horse, urging the marching Shu governor team.
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. I am waiting for the Shuzhou army to make a sharp arrow and pierce the gall of the Liangzhou people!"
There was no sacrificial flag, no divination, just a surprise attack army divided into several groups.
Just as the assistant general said, soldiers are valuable and quick. This time is Shuzhou's best opportunity to cut off the cold. Xu Mu didn't want to miss it.
If he had a choice, he would rather stay in Chengdu in the winter to be with his wife who is expecting child.
"What are you thinking about, my lord?"
Xu Mu withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
"Wenlong, this time I, Shuzhou, will take risks. However, this opportunity is too tempting."
With the help of the Fuxun tribe, the ambush of surprise troops, and the people from Liangzhou, I thought that there would be no winter expedition in Shuzhou...
All of this is a rare opportunity.
"My lord, with Sima Xiu's intelligence, he will immediately make a plan in a short time. Therefore, we must capture the two counties south of Liangzhou."
"I have a good plan in mind."
Sitting on the carriage, Jia Zhou smiled slightly.
After passing the buffer area between Shuzhou and Liangzhou, we will continue to march forward. If everything goes well, we will be able to reach the border of Liangzhou. On the border of Liangzhou, there will be two strong cities that are horns to each other, which can be regarded as the southern barrier of Liangzhou.
Even if there are no dangerous and powerful passes like Yuguan, these two fortified cities are equally difficult to deal with. A heavy army was stationed, a steady general was dispatched, and supplies of food, fodder, and garrison supplies were enough to wait for reinforcements.
Such an important city for garrisoning troops is impossible to bypass. Going around will only lead to the tragedy of being attacked from both ends.
…
Shuzhou, a military training ground five miles outside Chengdu. Sun Xun was sitting on a chair, still picking his nose. Before Xu Mu left Shu, someone sent him a secret letter, so he directly moved his bedding to the training ground and stared at the generals.
Tread.
Hearing someone approaching, Sun Xun looked startled and hurriedly rubbed the thing on his finger to the corner of the chair.
"General Sun, it's going to be winter now. If we continue to train, the soldiers may get cold." A general came over with a smile on his face.
"If not, why don't you ask the lord yourself?" Sun Xun said angrily. He was born in the market. In addition to the lord's military advisor, he also has his big brother Han Jiu. He can talk back even to General Tiger.
"My lord, may I be in the palace?"
Sun Xun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "My lord is not in the palace, where else can he go."
"Okay, I'll go and ask in person. Besides, there's also the matter of winter robes that need to be prepared. I'll leave the camp later -"
"Don't go out, you are serious." Sun Xun said in a cold voice.
Pi Jiang frowned.
"Practice as usual today. I, the Princess of Shuzhou, am about to give birth, and my lord has no time to talk to you."
"congratulations."
Pi Jiang cupped his fists and laughed, turned around and walked back. Walking to the corner of the training ground, the general suddenly lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
In Chengdu, Jiang Caiwei was about to give birth. With the support of Li Xiaowan, the two pregnant women sat on a stone chair in the backyard of the palace.
"It's true that Xu Lang left as soon as he said he would go." Li Xiaowan was a little angry, "Waiting for him to come back, I will fold the branches and give him a big slap -"
Before he finished speaking, his voice was choked with tears in the second half of the sentence.
"But Xu Lang went to fight, sister Caiwei. Fighting is very dangerous."
Jiang Caiwei smiled calmly, stretched out her hand and stroked Li Xiaowan's hair, but remained silent. The only feeling of waiting and expectation flowed in his eyes.
I couldn't see him off because I was too big. The bronze mirror that protected my husband was already hanging on the persimmon tree in the backyard. Under the reflection of the sun, light will appear from time to time, and that light will protect her husband and drive away all evil spirits.
Outside the backyard of the palace, Puppy Fu began to put on a young boy's robe and armor, which seemed to be a little unfitting and looked a little funny.
The robe armor was a gift from his teacher. He heard that the old man at the iron workshop made it himself, but unexpectedly, it was still a bit too big.
Puppy Fu's eyes became serious. He stared at the desolate green mountains outside Chengdu and tightly held the long sword under his waist.
A young man is full of energy and has a time to work hard.
…
"Chen Zhong pays homage to the lord! Meets the military advisor!" In Yuguan, Chen Zhong clasped his fists high and knelt down to worship. He has not returned to Chengdu for a long time, and he has been sticking to Yuguan. Although he was a bit out of touch, he understood in his heart how much his lord trusted him, entrusting him with the important task of guarding the door to this subordinate general.
"Chen Zhong, get up." Xu Mu said with a smile. He felt relieved about Chen Zhong. In other words, with Chen Zhong here, Yuguan will be extremely stable.
It is also because of this that the old fox Sima Xiu went to find a strange way to make a surprise attack on Chengdu.
"Lord, I have sent all the supplies back to the walled city earlier. In addition, General Chao Yi...may have a grievance. I am familiar with him and I know his character——"
"Chen Zhong, this is a bitter trick, Chao Yi did not betray." Xu Mu sighed. By this time, there was no need to hide anything from Chen Zhong. If the veteran guarding the gate is blocked in his heart, it will be detrimental to the war.
Furthermore, Chao Yi's role has already been played.
Hearing Xu Mu's words, Chen Zhong paused and his face instantly became happy.
"On the other side of the walled city, we wanted to hide it from the eyes of Liangzhou spies. I am going to attack Liang. Three days later, you will dispatch heavy troops to guard the walled city. If... the war is not going well, you will retreat to Yuguan. In the mountains on the Shu Road, the Pingman camp is still ambushing in the mountains. You and the other two armies can contact us to resist the enemy."
Chen Zhong was startled, "My lord, the mountains of Shuzhou are our natural barrier to Shuzhou. How can there be enemy troops?"
"I will dig through the Anling Mountains in Muyun Prefecture."
Under Sima Xiu's vicious plan, whether it was strategy or layout, Shuzhou's enemy situation was directly improved to a higher level.
The enemy is weak and I am strong.
If the enemy is strong, I will be stronger.
