In the war in Cangzhou, both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and each slowly stopped fighting. Of course, this does not mean that there will be no need to fight in the future.
Xu Mu knew very well that with Zuo Shiren's temperament, he would definitely counterattack. The Demon Queen will still use their own hidden tricks to continue their sinister plot.
The letter to Zuo Shiren stated that the navies of both sides were preparing for war at the Kezhou dock. Soon, Zuo Shiren replied, and as expected, he agreed directly and his words were extremely sincere.
"My lord, the head of the Huang family is here."
The only person who breathed a sigh of relief just after the war was Huang Daochong from Kezhou. If possible, this well-rounded little family leader hopes that the world will be unified immediately without having to fight.
"Huang Daochong pays homage to the King of Shu." Huang Daochong stepped onto the boat and bowed hurriedly.
"Master Huang, no courtesy." Xu Mu smiled.
"Thank you, King Shu."
After taking his seat, Huang Daochong looked serious and sat upright. He knew that when Xu Mu came to him this time, he must have something to discuss, and it was very likely that it was related to this war.
"Don't be surprised, Master Huang. The matter is urgent this time, so we urgently summoned Master Huang." Xu Mu sighed, "In the battle to attack Cangzhou, our Dongling Alliance tried our best, but still couldn't capture Cangzhou."
"The Demon Queen's plan is cunning, King Shu does not need to blame himself."
Xu Mu smiled and said, "I came to the Huang Family Master to ask... Does the Huang Family Master know how the Demon Queen's troops entered Cangzhou?"
"It should be the matter of fishing for gold scraps before."
"No, there are at least 30,000 soldiers. I suspect that the Demon Queen has more tricks that no one knows about."
"Then I don't know. The King of Shu knows that my relationship with Cangzhou is not that good. In the past, when I was trying to manage things, I was rejected by the Demon Queen many times."
Huang Daochong said it very seriously, but somehow, Xu Mu always felt that there was something hidden in Huang Daochong's words.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not dwell too much on this issue. Lao Huang has his own concerns. He is aggressive and it would be bad if the relationship becomes tense.
"Let's not talk about this for now. By the way, Mr. Huang, have you ever heard of Uncle Wang?"
"Uncle Wang? Could it be King Yan's new staff? Of course I have heard of it. Recently, he has a very good reputation in Hebei. I heard that even the King of Yuzhou has suffered a lot of losses. King Shu , I do know some information about this person."
"Master Huang, please speak."
Huang Daochong calmed his tone and said, "This uncle Wang was originally an old copyist in Yanzhou. For some reason, he was suddenly promoted and reused by Gongsunzu and made an exception as a staff member. When the King of Yuzhou attacked Yizhou, he It was he who used the ingenious trick of hiding a fire in an empty city and a huge fire to destroy Yuzhou Heijia's consecutive victories."
Xu Mu frowned, "What happened next?"
"Later, the king of Yuzhou also used many methods, including one time when he sent a secret army from the northeast of Yizhou and almost attacked it. It was also Tai Shuwang who used a cunning plan to ambush in three directions and defeated Yuzhou. The state’s dark scheme.”
"Master Huang, how old are you?"
"I heard that he must be more than sixty years old. I have never heard of such a person before, as if... he appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, since he appeared, he also helped the prince of Yanzhou, Sun Zu, A support force was invited."
"Where are the reinforcements?"
Huang Daochong shook his head, "We haven't found out yet. I estimate that King Yuzhou's attack on Hebei will also take a long time."
"Master Huang, have you found out anything about the four slaves in the world?"
Huang Daochong shook his head, "I only know two of them, one is the mute slave Kuai Jian, and the other is Tang Wuyuan... By the way, talking about Tang Wuyuan in Qingzhou, there was an incident recently. Does the King of Shu know that Tang Wuyuan just brought the remnant army? When we got ashore and were about to return to Qingzhou, Yuan Song immediately sent people to block it."
Xu Mu was a little funny. He did this all by himself.
"Is it blocked?"
"It was blocked. Yuan Song killed half of the remnant army of several thousand men and horses. In the end, Tang Wuyuan only took more than 2,000 people and ran back to Qingzhou in dejection. It is impossible to say that Yuan Song will wait until the time is right. If we have the opportunity, we must attack Qingzhou immediately."
"This Tang Wuyuan claims to be the sixth best strategist in the world, even more powerful than Mr. Dongfang. This time, he has suffered a lot."
"The fun is yet to come." Xu Mu sneered. To be honest, someone like Tang Wuyuan really made him feel a little nauseous.
Huang Daochong laughed a few times, and after a few times, his words became a little nervous.
"King Shu, I have no problem with building a dock on the bank of the Kezhou River... but I hope that the dock can be built on the west bank of Kezhou... at a small ferry farther away."
"Of course." Xu Mu did not object. Huang Dao acted like this just to preserve his family. According to the current situation, the outcome between Cangzhou and Dongling Alliance is still undecided. At first glance, Cangzhou seems to have some upper hand.
Xishu Dongling jointly dispatched navy troops to garrison in Kezhou on the other side of Cangzhou. The pressure on Lao Huang must not be small.
"Thank you, King Shu." Huang Daochong breathed a sigh of relief.
"King Shu, how about this? Give me another month and I will think of some ways to find out what happened to the four slaves in the world."
Look, this is Lao Huang's personality charm, reciprocating love.
"Thank you very much, Master Huang."
Only after Huang Daochong got off the boat and left, Dongfang Jing, who was sitting aside, frowned and spoke.
"Lord, have you discovered something?"
Xu Mu was startled, "What do you mean by Bo Lie's words?"
"There are thirty states in the world, as if there are hands stirring up the world."
The words were very direct. After Xu Mu thought about it carefully, his face became a little gloomy.
"It's like there are many more killing pieces on this side of the chessboard."
Such as Tang Wuyuan, such as the old Yanzhou staff... Before this, these people had never come to the fore. It's better now, but it's like a pot has been boiled, and everything is pouring out.
"Cangzhou secretly increased its troops, and Yanzhou also suddenly increased its troops. Who can say for sure whether there is some relationship between them?"
"The situation where the King of Yanzhou must die, and the situation where the Hebei League must die, were suddenly revitalized. Therefore, the King of Yuzhou was firmly dragged in Hebei. The King of Yuzhou is now in a dilemma. If he retreats to the inner city, the Hebei Second Army that he originally captured will The state will be handed over to others.”
Dongfang Jing's words suddenly gave Xu Mu a flash of inspiration. It's a pity that no matter how much I think about it, I can't understand these two weird things.
"My lord, I still have the same suggestion as before. The best way to break the current situation is for the lord to take the lead and form a big alliance. It only takes a few towns of princes and men, and great things can be expected."
Xu Mu nodded.
But this kind of world alliance does not mean that if you say it, others will agree. Among them, an opportunity is needed to promote this alliance.
