"Celebrating -"
Cangzhou Imperial Capital, Xu Mu, Zuo Shiren, Zhao Di, as well as many state kings and power leaders, stood side by side on the south gate of the city, looking at the vast number of allied soldiers below.
At this time, the cattle and sheep had been slaughtered, and the smell of meat spread for two or three miles. There was an endless stream of wine jars being transported to the camp.
"The great victory of our allied forces is all due to the strength of the three armies. Tonight, I, Zuo Shiren, will join you all to fight until we are drunk!" Zuo Shiren raised his wine bowl and faced the army, his voice actually had a hint of heroism.
"Young boy Zuo, you've been holding it for a long time, don't you dare to stop talking!" Behind the city, Si Hu was also holding a wine bowl, his tone was quite dissatisfied.
"General Tiger, shut the fuck up!" Yin Hu hurried over and dragged the cursing Si Hu back.
Zuo Shiren twitched his mouth.
"Leader Zuo, I'll go back and beat him up." Xu Mu said helplessly.
"Brother Xu, it's okay. It was General Tiger's effort to kill the Demon Queen this time. Come on, all officers and men, drink together!" Perhaps he had said enough, Zuo Shiren finally raised the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth. .
"Drink together!"
Inside and outside the city, there were the heroic voices of the Allied soldiers. After more than seven months of war, they finally survived and waited for this celebration banquet.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at it sadly. Nearby, he found many soldiers, most of them carrying a bulging baggage on their backs.
Needless to say, inside the baggage were the ashes of fellow soldiers. If the ashes cannot be found, the blood-stained robes and armor are brought back and piled into a tomb.
Whoever survives will be brought back.
"I, Xu Mu, would like to pay my respects to all of you——"
Taking another bowl, Xu Mu raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"A toast to my Xishu soldiers."
"A toast to the soldiers of Dongling."
"A toast to the soldiers of the South China Sea."
…
Xu Mu kept taking wine and pouring it into his mouth one bowl at a time. For a long time, he has been a cautious person, keeping a clear mind and facing all kinds of intrigues in troubled times.
"A toast to Hezhou Zhongyong!"
"A lamp to the soldiers of Dingbeiguan, and a lamp to the tiger of Dingzhou!"
"Respect the thousands and thousands of loyal Qingshan people in this world!"
"Drink together!"
"Drink with the King of Shu!"
Outside the city, countless allied soldiers held up their wine bowls, faced Xu Mu, and drank them all in one gulp.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu?" Zuo Shiren was a little speechless. In this confusion, he, the leader of the alliance, seemed to have been overshadowed again.
"Leader Zuo, I'm not drunk. Don't forget where I come from." Xu Mu wiped his mouth and smiled.
When he was still a small brewer, he drank his own Zui Tianxian and was not drunk even from two bottles. But I haven't touched it for a long time, and it seems that today is a bit too much.
"Brother Mu, I respect you!"
"Si Hu, stop fucking talking!"
…
When Xu Mu woke up, he found that the sky was completely dark. He was sleeping on the bed, and Si Hu was lying under the bed like a toad.
"The Six Heroes."
"Helmsman, I'm here." Yin Hu walked in from outside and hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea.
"Unbeknownst to the helmsman, General Tiger was having a drinking fight with someone and lost eighteen moves in a row. He wanted to be a bastard, so allied brothers from several battalions came out and grabbed him back. That scene... Zuo Shiren thought It’s an enemy attack.”
"As soon as I came back, I said I wanted to protect the helmsman, so I lay down here."
Xu Mu felt helpless and asked Yin Hu to call seven or eight people to carry Si Hu to the bed.
"The South China Sea Alliance has received a lot of gold items and received an imperial seal. I guess they are ready to go back."
"It will come again." Xu Mu nodded seriously. With this fame, the states in the South China Sea are no longer the transformed places of the Central Plains. In other words, it can be regarded as a separatist force in the Central Plains. There is even the possibility of becoming the world leader.
"By the way, how is Chang Wei?"
"Don't worry, Captain. The military doctor said there is no big problem. If Captain is worried, you might as well transfer him to Shuzhou to recuperate."
"also may."
"Information has arrived from Hezhou. The young military advisor and Yuzhou general Le Qing have finally defended Hezhou. The remnants of the Beidi people have retreated to the grassland."
"Okay. As expected of Bo Lie! Six heroes, where is Dingzhou?"
"This is also gratifying information. During the internal strife, Hu King Gaigong died, and the Hu troops were torn into pieces and turned into groups of fleeing troops, just waiting to be exterminated. But when Taishu looked there, there were only more than 20,000 troops left, and they had been defeated by Chongqing. The king of the state is approaching the snow-capped mountains. I guess another batch will freeze to death."
Yin Hu paused, "In addition, there is another strange information. In the Rouran grassland, a tribe suddenly rebelled and submitted a confession to the king of Yuzhou, willing to give 30,000 good horses and 5,000 cattle and sheep. , as an apology. In the future, I will probably attach myself to the King of Yuzhou."
Xu Mu smiled and said, "Uncle Wang is the prince of Rouran who failed to usurp the throne and fled to Yanzhou. This time, he should have succeeded in usurping the throne of Rouran Khan. It's a pity that he failed in the war and was unpopular. , naturally some tribes rebelled."
"This old dog is at the end of its rope."
"With this, it won't be long before the entire land of Hebei will fall into the hands of the King of Yuzhou." Yin Hu's tone sounded a bit like a sigh.
Xu Muhuang dispersed his thoughts, "It is also Uncle Chang's ability to ignore these things. Next, my center in Xishu will still be in Jiangnan. But in the short term, Zuo Shiren will not quarrel with each other."
"And I, Xi Shu, also need to buy time to recuperate."
Today's Dongling Tomb of Xishu, seriously speaking, is still in the honeymoon period. But there are some things that everyone understands tacitly. Even if we become enemies in the future, at least for now, we still have to be polite.
"Six Heroes, what happened to Mr. Chen's remains?"
"Ma Yi has led people to retrieve Mr. Chen's remains from the foot of Lidu Mountain and is preparing to send them back to Qishili Cemetery in Shuzhou."
Zhang Shun of Cangzhou Siying had one thought in mind and did not harm Chen Jiaqiao's body. Now, it's time to go home.
"In this siege of Cangzhou, the losses in Jiangnan alone were nearly 20,000 people. Including those in Dingzhou..." Xu Mu closed his eyes.
Unlike other separatist forces, it was too difficult for Xishu to go. A force that started from a humble beginning and was not favored by aristocratic families, step by step, has come to where it is now with its head held high.
"Six heroes, Yu Wen stayed in Cangzhou, what do you think?"
"Of course there is no problem. General Yu is the number one general in Western Shu."
Previously, Yu Wen also stayed behind, but the difference was that Dongfang Jing was in charge. No matter what, Xu Mu was a little worried after all.
"I plan to let Dou Tong open up the Xiangjiang River channel from Bailu County to the west of Cangzhou. By then, Yu Wen will be the general guarding the city, and Dou Tong will be the naval commander. Both of them In comparison, we should be able to defend the area west of the south of the Yangtze River."
"The helmsman's clever plan." For a moment, Yin Hu's eyes lit up.
