About two hours later, Zuo Shiren's carriage arrived at the alliance meeting place on the river bank. Following Zuo Shiren, there were also the leaders of the nine tribes of Dongyue, the owner of Yandao Island, the young helmsman of Shangduo... In short, they finally arrived with a large family.
After scanning Xu Mu's position, Zuo Shiren's face was full of excitement. He hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and trotted over on tiptoe.
"It's my fault, Zuo Shiren, for keeping Brother Xu waiting for so long. When the banquet is held, I, Zuo Shiren, will punish myself with three cups of wine as an apology."
"Leader Zuo, why are you doing this?" Xu Mu also stood up and bowed firmly.
They are all old Oscars. If you act, I will act. Everyone’s acting is the real acting.
After some pleasantries, Zuo Shiren turned around, greeted the other leaders of the alliance, and began to join the banquet to discuss the attack on Cangzhou.
Xu Mu glanced around and saw that the leaders of the seven people had already arrived. What surprised him even more was that Prince Tang Yiyuan of Qingzhou, with a deathly pale face, was sitting on a wooden wheel, panting constantly.
Is this a person who still wants to dominate the world?
"Everyone, let's have a drink together first." Zuo Shiren was high-spirited, raised the wine cup, and threw it loudly in the river wind, "Now, we will gather together to unite and join forces to defeat the false emperor."
"King Jingling! Under the leadership of King Jingling, we will conquer everything! Attack Cangzhou and capture the Demon Queen alive!"
"Drink with King Ling!"
"Let's drink together." Xu Mu calmly followed up with a toast. It was quite lively, but he always felt that there were a lot of things missing.
After the Second Emperor appeared, Zuo Shiren was obviously a little anxious. Even if we count 100,000 troops, crossing the river to attack Cangzhou is not necessarily an easy task. If we continue to work steadily, continue to make plans, and win over other candidates to join the alliance, our chances will be greater.
But it was obvious that Zuo Shiren could no longer listen. Putting down the wine cup, Zuo Shiren sat next to Xu Mu.
"Brother Xu, all the allies are ready to attack. Just waiting for the day of flag sacrifice, they will cross the river and attack the false emperor of Cangzhou. The death of this demon queen is coming soon."
"Leader Zuo, why not make some more plans." After thinking for a while, Xu Mu spoke seriously. If possible, he would rather Zuo Shiren pull out Cangzhou.
This cancer has grown big enough. And after Yuan An died, everything changed completely.
"I have my own plan." Zuo Shiren smiled, "Brother Xu, you also know what kind of person I am. If I dare to make an alliance, I will definitely have a backup plan."
"Reinforcements?"
"We'll keep it secret for now, and I'll tell you later. All you have to do is follow the previous plan and lure the Cangzhou Navy."
"Leader Zuo, I have said it before. Western Shu's troops and food are insufficient, so I can only do my best."
"Xishu sent out 20,000 naval troops. In addition, I will transfer another 20,000 naval troops to you, and provide food, grass, and baggage. Brother Xu, don't you want to destroy Cangzhou? A poisonous evil queen is lying on the side. I can’t sleep.”
To be honest, with only 20,000 naval troops, Zuo Shiren also provided food and grass, which was not considered a loss.
"After Cangzhou is captured, the agreement between you and me is still valid. I will only take one county, and the young emperor Yuan Long."
Xu Mu was silent for a while and glanced at the other power leaders.
"I have my own rewards for them. In this huge world, if anyone is the biggest helper, it is Brother Xu. After entering Shu and destroying Liang, Brother Xu's history of making a fortune is unparalleled in the world."
"That's ridiculous. I don't know when the leader of the Left Alliance plans to sacrifice the flag and cross the river."
"My Wangtianjian in Dongling is still observing the weather. I estimate that it will be just a few days away. Troops from all walks of life have also arrived in Kezhou."
"Are you a little anxious?"
"No, I've thought about it very carefully."
Xu Mu was silent for a while, thinking about the disaster that might happen.
"Laiyan Erzhou, is there any change on Yuan Song's side? If they are attacked from behind, the Dongling Alliance may suffer heavy losses."
Zuo Shiren burst out laughing, "Brother Xu, do you think the old puppet emperor will cooperate with the Demon Queen? It's impossible. He hopes that you and I will join forces as soon as possible to oust the Cangzhou royal family."
"Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. But what I fear most are unreasonable people."
"Brother Xu is overly worried. Even if Yuan Song sends out troops, there are still more than 20,000 state troops here in Kezhou. Although Huang Daochong is ineffective, he will definitely fight tooth and nail for anyone who wants to attack Kezhou."
"Don't worry, Brother Xu, I, Zuo Shiren, am not a fool eager for success and profit. If I dare to take this step, I already have a perfect plan."
Xu Mu said nothing, not fully convinced.
When you were fighting against Laiyan Erzhou, Yuan Song was holding you down and beating you so hard that your head exploded...
"Brother Xu, please be at ease. This time, the Dongling Alliance will become famous all over the world."
After just saying this, Zuo Shiren stood up and walked towards Tang Yiyuan on the wooden wheel. Tang Yiyuan was half-dead and allowed Tang Wuyuan to push the wooden wheel cart and drink wine on his behalf.
For some reason, Xu Mu always felt an unknown feeling suddenly enveloped his whole body. He felt that Cangzhou's Demon Empress Su was so scheming that even his Jia Wenlong was sometimes tired of dealing with her. How could he helplessly watch the Dongling Alliance unite their forces, sacrifice flags, cross the river, and attack the state?
It's not that simple.
Sitting at the lively alliance banquet, Xu Mu felt that he suddenly felt a little out of place. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Zuo Shiren's methods, but that he was more worried about Su Yaohou's methods.
Again, it's too hasty.
"Leader, this time, I and many others will follow the leader and destroy Cangzhou together!"
"Leader Zuo has a reputation for benevolence all over the world. After eradicating the false emperor, I am afraid that his name will go down in history. Compared with the loyal and righteous Lord Yuan, he will not give in too much."
A few small heads clinging to the aventurine kept raising their glasses and cheering.
"Brother Mu, why don't you come over?" After grabbing a plate of river fish, Si Hu squatted aside and spoke while eating. He found that his brother Mu was not so gregarious today.
"Get rid of the eggs, and a group of tadpoles will look for their mother."
Raising his head, Xu Mu looked at the rushing river and fell into thought again.
…
In Cangzhou, the carved railings in front of the palace.
Wearing a plain phoenix robe, dancing lightly in the wind. After becoming the Queen Mother, she no longer wore the colorful robes she had previously worn.
Su Waner's young face showed the majesty of a superior person.
"Xu Buyi is a smart man, really smart. He participated, but it seems like he didn't participate. I just think it's a pity."
"When killing sheep in my hometown, I always like to pick on the weak ones and kill those who can't feed them first. Just like Zuo Shiren, although he can be considered a hero, compared with Xu Buyi and Yuan Song, he is the weakest after all. The weak one."
"Ah Qi, I'm not talking about state, territory and military power. I mean strategy and layout. The lack of a big strategy is Zuo Shiren's biggest problem."
Ah Qi didn't respond with "Abba Abba". He is a reserved swordsman who only smiles in front of the people he likes.
At this time, facing Su Wan'er, Kuai Jian Ah Qi's face in the sunset was filled with a bright smile.
