"Mr. Jia, in this troubled world, have I, Sima Jingmou, left a legacy?"
"Stay. Without you, Liangzhou would have been destroyed long ago."
Sima Xiu threw his head back and laughed, the laughter was extremely sad. He hugged the fox corpse, turned his back to the sky, and quietly closed his eyes.
"Fire the arrow——"
…
"A son of a poor family, you want to study? Among all the great scholars in the world, who has ever thought highly of you?"
"My surname is Sima, and my ancestors held official positions in the court. But in your generation...hehe, you want to be my disciple, but you can't even afford Shu Xiu. Go back, go back."
"Being a copywriter, I still have five silver coins per month, but you, Sima Xiu, actually refused."
"Sima Xiu, don't you want to learn from the ancient sages? Wait for the enlightened master?"
"The Southern Confucian Dragon and the Northern Liang Fox are equally famous in the world!"
"Sima Jingmou, I am willing to offer advice to my lord and create a prosperous new dynasty!"
"The world is at peace!"
…
A corpse, with several arrows in it, fell quietly to the ground. In his arms, he was holding a fox corpse tightly.
There was a cold wind blowing, whistling. Dust and sand were rolled up all over the ground and spread over the corpse.
Jia Zhou leaned on crutches, took off his cloak, and carefully put it on Sima Xiu's body. He probably caught a cold suddenly and couldn't stop coughing a few times.
"Military strategist, strategist, Lianghu is dead!" Fan Lu couldn't help but be happy.
Jia Zhou smiled restrainedly, sighed, and sat down next to the corpse. In his palm, there was still a piece of cloth handkerchief, which Sima Xiu tore off a piece of his robe and wrote on with charcoal sticks. Then, while being supported, it was handed into his hands.
Jia Zhou looked at Bupa, and surprise slowly filled his face. He raised his head and looked anxiously to the west.
"Brother Jia, with this person helping the Demon Queen, we are afraid of great disaster in the Central Plains. You and I are our own masters, and we should kill each other and cherish each other. This information can be used to repay Brother Jia's kindness in piling up graves."
Jia Zhou finished reading bitterly and put Bupa into his arms.
"Military advisor, we've caught a big thief!" At this time, General Youpi hurried over with dozens of horsemen. He waited until the horse stopped and pushed the tied Wei Qiu down.
Bang.
Wei Qiu yelled in pain and twisted around wildly, trying to break free from the binding hemp rope.
"Everyone...it's too tight, could you please loosen it a little bit?"
Jia Zhou's face was expressionless. He could pity Sima Xiu for his own masters, but he could not forgive a traitor who rebelled against Shu.
"Ah, it's Military Advisor Jia! In the past, I worshiped God every day and prayed to God to bless Shuzhou, and Military Advisor Jia was indeed alive!"
Jia Zhou sneered. He stood up with a cane and didn't look at Wei Qiu again. A traitor, a traitor, and a traitor, he abandoned his family, and almost all the evil things in the world have been done.
"Military advisor, military advisor, listen to me! I, Wei Qiu, have been gifted since I was a child! If not, I would like to be the disciple of Military Advisor Jia. From now on, I will serve Shuzhou wholeheartedly!"
"Commander Jia, I, Wei Qiu, am a great talent!"
After walking a few steps, Jia Zhou turned back coldly, "I forgot to tell you that I already have a disciple. He is the boy who blocked you for a few days in front of the palace."
"Your teacher failed, and you still have the ambition to die, but you are like a pig or a dog, how can you get into the eyes of my poisonous owl! Stop making noise and suffer death!"
Wei Qiu was stunned on the spot, and after a while he wanted to beg for mercy again——
Click.
Fan Lu rushed in with his sword, and in an instant, Wei Qiu's head fell to the ground and rolled into the mud.
"Fan Lu, please bury Mr. Sima's body... and mark it with a monument."
"Military advisor, what about this? I chopped off my head."
"Throw it into the forest and feed it to wolves and dogs."
After just saying that, Jia Zhou walked forward with a heavy step on crutches. Fan Lu was worried that he would catch a cold, so he quickly took a warm robe and put it on him.
"A famous schemer in the world. He is good at planning the world, but he lost his body. It is a pity."
In the cold wind, Jia Zhou looked up and his voice continued for a long time.
…
A few days later, the news spread back to Liangdi.
Dong Wen, who was leading an army of 100,000 and was about to reach the border of Liangzhou, was so frightened that he fell off his horse after receiving the information.
"My lord, my lord!"
Dong Wen's eyes were red, and even though he was helped up, his whole body was still shaking. His military advisor, his Lianghu Sima Xiu, actually fell into the poisonous owl's plan and died in Shuzhou.
"My lord, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Clang.
Dong Wen raised his hand angrily and knocked the tea cup away. The tea cup fell to the ground and hit the stone, making a crisp cracking sound.
Beside, many Liangzhou generals accompanying the army did not dare to speak.
Dong Wen looked up to the sky and was furious, his whole face became extremely ferocious.
"You are worthy of being my military advisor!" Xu Mu, who also received the news at the border of Liangzhou, clenched his fists in surprise. Jia Zhou's plan has been completed. Lianghu Sima Xiu was led into an urn and died in Shuzhou.
Once Lianghu died, only Dong Wen, a dog-husband, was left in Liangzhou.
At this time, Xu Mu became more and more confident and would capture all three northwest states!
Of course, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time. He did not forget about it. After suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Xu Mu took a deep breath and looked into the distance, waiting for the upcoming battle.
Dong Wen's 100,000 troops have already rushed to Lucheng. Counting the days, it should be ready to arrive.
"Prepare to defend the city!" Xu Mu pressed his sword and ordered in a deep voice.
As long as Dong Wen's return reinforcements are blocked and the winter deepens, the dogman will have no choice but to retreat. Leaving the bridgeheads of these two cities behind until spring next year will make it much easier to fight against the cold.
Originally, Xu Mu wanted to use Chai Zong's 10,000-strong army, but now that he thought about it, after Sima Xiu died, there was no one in Liangzhou with a big plan, and the layout and strategy might lead to a short-term chaos. . In this case, it would be better to keep this strange army as a killer in the next year's expedition to Liang.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it is undoubtedly best to take advantage of Lianghu's death. But in order to kill Lianghu and seize the second city, the army has been somewhat dispersed. Furthermore, after the onset of winter, the cool ground is covered with heavy snow, so attacking the city with a tired army is not the best strategy.
Now, Xu Mu is in Lucheng and Dou Tong is in Wenlang City, with 20,000 troops each guarding them. Coupled with the city's high walls and thick walls, as long as we don't fall into the trap and act steadily, there is no problem in delaying it until late winter.
"Lord, Ryoto is here!"
There were soldiers watching from an arrow tower in the corner of Lucheng, and they spoke in shock. Then, the sound of gongs and horns sounded immediately.
Xu Mu was fearless and raised his head again, looking at the scene outside the city. Under the gray sky, on the horizon as far as the eye could see, a long black line slowly came into view.
In an instant, like a rising tide, thousands of troops stepped onto the yellow sand all over the sky and roared over.
Xu Mu knew that among this vast number of troops, there were not only the Liang army, but also the Xiqiang people from the Fuxun tribe. It's a pity that foreigners like the Xiqiang people are not good at attacking cities at all.
Furthermore, most of this army is based on cavalry camps, and the civilian men who are pushing food, grass and baggage must be far behind.
"Follow me to defend the city. If Liang Gou dares to take a step closer, he will be shot to death!" Xu Mu made a "clang" sound, unsheathed his long sword, and pointed forward angrily.
Above and below the city, countless Shuzhou soldiers followed suit, raising their swords and shouting wildly.
