"dinner time--"
As soon as he came down from the mountain and ran to the military kitchen to ask questions, Si Hu stood excitedly at the door of the camp, shouting at the top of his lungs.
It was dusk, and the winter weather had become even more chilly.
On the way back to the camp, Xu Mu was still worried. If you want to go into the mountains to ambush the hidden army, there is no suitable place. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'll have to go into the mountain again and put up some shelter.
"My lord, please move to the banquet hall. The banquet is ready." Yu Wen approached and spoke.
Xu Mu came to his senses and nodded, "Yu Wen, where is Si Hu?"
"Sihu went to the military camp kitchen. He didn't believe me when I told him there was a banquet. He was probably going to eat his fill there."
Xu Mu was a little speechless. This was indeed Si Hu's temperament. Seeing that there was something to eat, he couldn't even move forward.
"Let's go and discuss this with the little military advisor later."
Taking heavy steps, Xu Mu put his mind aside and walked towards Yucheng City.
…
There is no snow in the south of the Yangtze River, but in Hebei, after a period of severe cold, the whole world in Yizhou, Hebei has long been covered with snow.
After a rare truce, and without returning to the inner city, Changshiro gathered around the stove and roasted a dug-out winter beast.
"Zhongde, do you want to try it too?"
Old Zhongde waved his hands, "Lord, I don't like these."
"I don't like Hua Niang, and I don't like eating and drinking. Zhongde, you are so boring." Chang Shiro muttered, pulling a small piece of meat from the roasted beast, drinking it with wine, and eating it with gusto.
"I... I only want to help my lord and conquer the world." Liu Ji's face was extremely serious for a moment.
Tsuneshiro smiled, wiped his greasy hands, and stretched the barbecue back. Chang Wei, who was holding the wine, took the barbecue and put it directly in his mouth to chew.
"Is Zhongde still angry?"
The old counselor shook his head, "Let's not mention it for now, the overall situation is more important. Next year's war will begin, so my lord does not need to worry too much about the battle on the Jiangnan side of my little boss."
"What does Zhongde mean?"
"I've thought about it, no matter what happens with the war? My lord insisted that the people from the Hebei Alliance are allies of the Demon Queen. He placed the main battle site on the front line of Yizhou. In addition, in Gaotang Prefecture, not far from Hebei, Shang There are several aristocratic families entrenched here. My lord, please send envoys to ask Gaotang Prefecture to send troops together in the name of jointly fighting the national crisis."
"I know that my lord is worried because he is afraid that Gaotang State will take the credit when the time comes. Lord, there is no need to worry. Under the current general trend, the several aristocratic families in Gaotang State are not fools, and they will naturally follow the general trend and take sides."
"He will choose the lord. If he sends an envoy, he can hit it off immediately."
Listening, Changshiro breathed a sigh of relief, and then put his arms around the old counselor's shoulders.
"I said earlier that my Zhongde is no worse than that of the poisonous owl and the lame man. This is a good plan. If we get reinforcements from Gaotang Prefecture next year, I will definitely be defeated by the four prefectures in Hebei... …Something is wrong, I seem to have been talking about it for two years, but I haven’t eaten Hebei, damn little dwarf.”
The little dwarf is naturally Gongsun Zu. Today, Gongsun Zu has Tai Shuwang as his assistant, and he is even more powerful than before.
"Tai Shuwang is good at observation, and then analyzes the intelligence before making decisions. When the Xiaodong family entered Hebei, he was right. If the master wants to win, he can only completely confuse the information of our Black Armored Army so that Tai Shuwang cannot tell the difference. Produce useful information. It is even said that you can play a game of chess against the general and rely on it to kill the piece."
Changshiro nodded, and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Zhongde, what's going on over at Fengxue Pass?"
"If there are reinforcements, they can only come from that way. Now that I think about it, Gongsunzu, a bitch, probably got help from foreigners. He originally guarded Yanzhou, and Yanzhou, like Hezhou, is the gateway to the Central Plains , it’s not surprising that he can have sex with foreigners like Rouran Beidi.”
"I was previously wondering how this dog-husband's bow rider could be so good at shooting. It seems that the little boss was right. This is not only a battle for a certain state, but more likely, someone is secretly planning the overall situation. . This flame of war is like a Qingguan flower girl who has taken a love potion, her whole body is burning."
The old counselor was speechless and did not correct him after all. My lord's temper is hard to change after a while.
"Xiao Dong's side, what are Zhongde's plans?"
"Send a general and lead 20,000 troops."
"How about we come up with a more auspicious number——"
"My lord, our Yuzhou Black Armored Army has been fighting hard for the past year and has suffered many losses. Even if we have to recruit new soldiers, most of them will be new soldiers and cannot fight."
"Hehe, I just like to see Zhongde angry. I'll tease you... Look at you, your goatee will stand up when you get nervous."
The old counselor puffed his face.
"That's it. I plan to...let Chang Wei go."
Chang Wei, who was eating barbecue in the back, burped violently, raised his head strangely, and looked at his young master.
Liu Ji also fell into deep thought and did not echo or object.
"I wanted Chang Wei to go to Hezhou before, but this little bastard is not calm enough. This time I went to Jiangnan to follow the little boss and learn some skills. Just like that time when I rejected Beidi, I learned the skills and came back. Help fight the war."
"I want to accompany the young master." Chang Wei said excitedly.
"Stop pretending." Chang Shiro turned around and glared twice, then cursed, "If you go to Jiangnan, you won't be able to show off the majesty of the Black Armored Army. When you come back in the future, I will hang you up and whip you."
"Learn the skills of my little master and tell them to me when you come back. Also, when you go to Jiangnan, send a few thousand carts of food and grass as a gift. It will be used as your training aid."
After saying that, Changshiro suddenly felt unhappy again.
"I also heard that that bitch who has more food and grass than me seems to be defecting to the Demon Queen."
The old counselor beside him naturally understood who Chang Shiro was talking about. In this world, there is only one person who has more granaries than the Chang family, and that is the Grain King.
"The traitor in the court was probably helped by this guy. This guy was so hidden that one day I caught him and chopped him up and fed him to the dogs."
"The King of Boundless, maybe... it's just a rumor spread by him. With such power, it's hard to say that he is still the king of foreign states." Liu Ji said something inexplicably.
"Who knows. Anyway, when I think about him, I feel very unhappy. Especially when I know that he is helping the Demon Queen... and Gongsunzu, that bitch, are all descended from donkey grass."
"Lord..."
"I understand, I don't want to scold you anymore." Changshiro slumped in his chair, his tone suddenly becoming a little complicated again.
"This world, even now, I still can't see clearly. I'm just dawdling in Hebei, but the little boss's side has already unified Western Shu and is about to spread its wings."
"It's different. My lord has conquered the four states of Hebei, and with the addition of horse breeding in Yanzhou, the hegemony has basically been achieved."
"And there's one more thing." Liu Ji looked serious, "The little boss doesn't rely on the world's famous families, but only relies on the people. He doesn't dare to go too fast on this road. I think this hegemony still belongs to the lord. The best chance.”
"Of course, my lord, please don't forget what you said to me before. If one day, Inner City and Xishu compete for hegemony, there will be no need to show mercy, each will rely on his own abilities."
"Remember." Changshiro held his head high, without any hesitation.
