The date of the alliance is scheduled for late September. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, all forces will gather in Chuzhou soon.
The time was a bit anxious, but there was no solution. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, winter is approaching. If we delay it any longer, we cannot fight in the face-cutting wind of winter.
"Brother Xu, are you a little too hasty?" Zuo Shiren frowned slightly, with a heavy tone in his tone. According to his estimation, this war of the World Alliance should be postponed to the beginning of next year.
Xu Mu shook his head, "Brother Zuo, it's getting late. Don't forget that when you and I are leading the world alliance, the Demon Queen will definitely take action. The longer the time passes, the worse it will be for you and me."
Xu Mu was sure that in Cangzhou now, after receiving the news of the alliance between the world, the Demon Queen could not sit still and wait for death. When the time comes, the war will begin, and I'm afraid there will be a big battle between the two sides.
It is even said that Jiangnan is not the only battlefield. The second battlefield may be the border in a certain direction, or Hebei, or Qingzhou.
But this time, we had to fight, and there was no reason to retreat.
Xu Mu understood that what Zuo Shiren was worried about was that the warships could not be built in time, and Dongling's morale had not been adjusted well.
"Brother Zuo, you and I are in the light, and the Demon Queen is in the dark. One step later will lead to more dangers."
Zuo Shiren sighed.
"So, after collecting the food, we have to start preparing for war."
"Exactly." Xu Mu clasped his fists seriously.
"If you have any information, Brother Zuo must write to inform you."
Before the war, it is very likely that the Demon Queen will plot something sinister, and the first target is likely to be Zuo Shiren.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, I'll take care of you all the way."
On the bank of the river, Zuo Shiren raised his hands to say goodbye. To be honest, there doesn't seem to be any big hatred between Xishu and Dongling, except for the unpleasant incident when they attacked Muyunzhou.
The rest of the time seemed to be a very cooperative one.
Xu Mu boarded the boat, and when he looked back, he found that not only Zuo Shiren, but also Feifu was also waving to him desperately.
…
In about three days, Xu Mu finally rushed back to Muyun Prefecture. Even if he comes and goes in a hurry every time, no matter what, Dongfang Jing will always wait on the bank of the river when he hears the news that he is coming back.
"Lord! Eastern worship to meet the lord!"
"Bolie doesn't need to be polite." Xu Mu said with a happy face, "This time the South China Sea Alliance can be a great success, Bolie should have a share of the credit."
"It was my lord's foresight and foresight that led to this great success." Dongfang Jing smiled restrainedly.
The two masters and subordinates have shown each other sincerely so many times, and they already have unreserved trust.
"By the way, Bo Lie, how is the harvest situation in Shuzhou?"
This was a major matter related to the people's livelihood in Western Shu, so he had to be careful.
Dongfang Jing said seriously, "My lord, the teacher is here to collect grain, so there is no problem. In the past few days, it is the time to collect grain. Many people in the nine counties in Sichuan have spontaneously formed civilian teams. Patrol around the rice fields and beware of thieves touching the rice and the autumn raids of tiger barbarians."
Xu Mu smiled. In Shuzhou now, the tiger barbarians have long been expelled. This kind of action is nothing more than looking at the upcoming harvest and feeling happy in my heart.
"However." Dongfang Jing suddenly frowned, "The teacher's letter also said that during these days in Shuzhou, when night falls, the night wind blows very fiercely, which may cause disaster. For this reason, I am here in Muyunzhou , I also observed it and found that what the teacher said was indeed true."
"No matter what, my lord must be careful. The teacher has already made preparations. Although there are not many rice fields here in Muyun Prefecture, it will be a good autumn after all, so we must not be careless."
"Bolie, I know."
Xu Mu hesitated, originally wanting to write a letter to Zuo Shiren. But then I thought again, Zuo Shiren must have Guan Tianjian on his side, and he should be prepared.
In this matter, the wisdom of the ancients was much smarter.
"Bolie, what about the rest?"
Dongfang Jing took out a file and looked a little solemn.
"The Demon Queen of Cangzhou, as expected by my lord, has also begun to recruit people to form a large alliance to fight against my lord."
"In other words, the Demon Queen is a little anxious."
Xu Mu nodded silently. The current situation was not very good for Xi Shu. In order to solve the huge stumbling block of the Demon Queen, he became more and more devoted, and made many changes from his original intention of making progress step by step.
But there is nothing that can be done. If the Demon Queen is not eliminated, Xi Shu will have no chance to occupy the south of the Yangtze River.
"Bo Lie, do you know the person who has formed an alliance with the Demon Queen?"
"Qingzhou Tang Wuyuan, don't worry about this one. In addition, there is also a grain king."
"Food King? It's him again."
When he was in Hebei, Xu Mu heard Chang Silang say that this grain king was like a divine dragon, and he controlled more grain in the world than the old Chang family. He is the real and boundless king of the entire world.
"Besides, I think Gongsun Zu also has some problems."
"Gongsunzu." Xu Mu muttered the name, and suddenly he remembered the little dwarf standing in front of him, facing him with a kind smile on his face.
The tiger is poisonous and eats its seeds, stabbing the king of Yuzhou in the back, and there are also inexplicable reinforcements and inexplicable amazing staff. When leaving Hebei, Xu Mu specifically told Chang Silang to pay attention to the Fengxue Pass in Yanzhou.
"If it's this dwarf, I think it's very possible."
"Lord, I estimate that there are quite a few left. But we won't be able to find out in a short period of time. Again, if we want to fight against the alliance led by our lord, the Demon Queen will definitely gather strength to fight against it. By the way. , when is the time for the Lord’s Guild Alliance to be decided?”
"After the harvest."
"After the autumn harvest..." On the bank of the river, Dongfang Jing looked up at the sky and fell into deep thought.
"Anyway, the teacher is a cautious person. He can write a letter and say that there will be unforeseen circumstances, and the Lord must be well prepared."
Xu Mu nodded.
"Of course, don't worry Bo Lie."
…
Jia Zhou, who was far away in Shuzhou, had a look of worry on his face at this time. This military advisor, who is only in his forties, walks between the fields and ridges every day, leaning on a cane and looking like an old man in his old age. He told the people to dig canals, store water, and build awnings.
To this day, he collapsed from exhaustion on a field ridge, and countless people burst into tears. They sent him back to the palace and invited Dr. Chen to diagnose him.
"Teacher, why are you working so hard?" Little Dog Fu sat on the edge of the bed, his voice trembling.
Jia Zhou leaned on the edge of the bed, blinking his dark eyes.
"I wish I had thought too much. Dogs are blessed, the sky is dry and the wind is blowing at night, the well water is turbid, the dogs are barking in the early morning... Now, the autumn harvest is coming. Do you remember that in the past thousands of years, the collapse of many dynasties was caused by natural disasters .”
"In the face of natural disasters, no matter how hard we try, we can't resist it."
"In the past two days, I seem to feel that the sunshine above my head is getting stronger and stronger."
After coughing twice, Jia Zhou raised his head as if he had made a decision.
"Gou Fu, go tell Han Jiu. Let him inform the whole Shuzhou that although the rice is still green and yellow before the auspicious time, from today onwards, the rice will be cut and threshed immediately, and the grain will be dried and put into the warehouse."
Puppy Fu was startled, "Teacher, if this happens, the rice harvest will be reduced by at least 30%."
Jia Zhou said in a serious tone, "If I, Jia Wenlong, make a mistake, that would be the best. If the people of Shuzhou scold me, I will bear the responsibility alone."
