"The little military advisor returns to Shu!"
"Welcome the little military advisor back to Shu!"
…
About half a month later, the autumn harvest had just begun, and Xu Mu was still in the fields, helping the people cut rice. Suddenly, I heard the news that Dongfang Jing was back.
He ran out of the fields with great joy, changed into clean robes, and hurried to the city gate with his entourage.
"Bolie!"
Dongfang Jing, who was sitting on the wooden wheel cart, paused for a moment after hearing this sound, but did not forget the etiquette and bowed excitedly.
"Worship in the east to meet my lord."
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite! If it weren't for Bo Lie, Hezhou would have been unable to defend itself." Xu Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Dongfang Jing firmly.
The demon queen's secret child was everywhere, and war was everywhere in the Central Plains. One can imagine how dangerous it was for Dongfang Jing to bring a carriage with only a dozen followers.
"Bolie, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Dongfang Jing's thin appearance, Xu Mu couldn't bear it. Jia Zhou, a great military advisor, and Fang Jing, a small military advisor from the east, dedicated too much to Western Shu.
"Come, follow me into the palace."
"Captain, I will carry the young military advisor." Yin Hu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly bowed down.
Not to mention the entire Western Shu, or even the entire Central Plains, who could look down upon this crippled military advisor now?
"I'm inconvenienced, thank you Lord Yin Xiang."
After speaking to Yin Hu, Dongfang Jing turned his head again, "My lord, there is no problem with the war in Hezhou. I made sure that the Beidi people retreated and then rushed back. Now the Hezhou guard Le Qing is also As a loyal and brave man, I have written to the King of Yuzhou to resign from Hezhou, and in addition, I have also recommended Le Qing to be the border general of Hezhou."
"Bo Lie kills two birds with one stone. In this way, with the grace of recommendation, the relationship between me in Xishu and Le Qing has been improved to a higher level."
"It's nothing more than pushing the boat along. With Le Qing's contribution, he should be able to be promoted." Dongfang Jing smiled calmly, and still did not lose the strategizing aspect in his words.
"However, there is another strange thing happening over there with the Beidi people."
"What?"
"I heard that many tribes gathered in the sand sea behind the grassland. Tuoba Hu was worried that the royal court would be lost, and the war was not going well, so he retreated hastily."
"Sand Sea Tribe?"
"Exactly. I have asked Le Qing to tell the Night Owl Group over in Hezhou. If there is any information, I will send it to you."
"I'm naturally relieved when Bo Lie is doing things."
As he talked all the way, he arrived outside the palace before he knew it. After hearing the news, Jia Zhou happened to walk outside the palace on crutches.
He has a peaceful demeanor and a happy face.
"Teacher...Teacher has lost weight." Dongfang Jing sat down with a bitter voice.
"Bo Lie has also lost a lot of weight. However, I, Xishu, have finally established a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River."
After the demon queen is destroyed, the entire Jiangnan area will only belong to the forces of Xishu and Dongling. Not counting Kezhou, in Jia Zhou’s words, they were just pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Wen Long, Bo Lie, please enter the palace." Xu Mu stood between the two military advisors, his heart full of gratitude. There is nothing wrong with the art of controlling people, but if it weren't for these two great planners who repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, Xi Shu would not be where it is now.
"I came back along the way and saw a huge rice harvest in Shuzhou. Before I knew it, I was greedy." Dongfang Jing said with a smile, "To be honest with my lord and teacher, when I was in Hezhou, although there was rice at the King of Yuzhou, , but it is not as good as what I produce in Shuzhou. The nine counties in Shu are worthy of the name of Tianfu."
"If Bo Lie likes it, I'll ask Xi Niang to pick some polished rice later and cook it carefully."
"Thank you, my lord."
As soon as Sun Xun served tea and the greetings were finished, the three of them, as usual, began to discuss the general situation of the world. After telling Dongfang Jing all the information about Cangzhou. As Xu Mu expected, Dongfang Jing also frowned.
"If I go by what my lord said, the power of the Grain King will probably be a serious problem for me in Xishu. As for the head of Huang Daochong Huang family... I agree with the teacher. After all, there are too many things happening in this world that are hidden from the truth. . Moreover, the events before and after this incident happened so suddenly that it cannot be fully believed."
"If the head of the Huang family is not dead, and my lord can find him, he may be able to find out the clues about the Grain King." Dongfang Jing paused, then hesitantly continued, "My lord, don't blame me, if I say something ugly, in the eyes of people like the Grain King , My lord is actually the same as the false emperor Fang Ru, who started from a humble background and conquered the world with his weak legs. They will not be optimistic about my lord. But fortunately, my lord chose to take the path of the people and won the support of the people. "
Xu Mu nodded. He understood that Dongfang Jing was not wrong. Many founding emperors in ancient times basically relied on the great wealth of their aristocratic families to determine the country. This was true even for the Emperor Gaozu of the Ji Dynasty, who had the support of many aristocratic families in Shuzhou to have an army for conquest.
"Bo Lie doesn't know. The lord has found a way to solve the money problem in Western Shu even without the support of a big family." Jia Zhou said with a smile.
"Could it be the Silk Road that the Lord talks about?"
"You can't hide it from Bo Lie."
"Other businesses, whether selling rice or even wine, will eventually be blocked as long as they are in the Central Plains. But if we are doing business with the Western Regions, there will be no problems. We just need to open up channels."
In a few words, the key point was revealed.
Not only Xu Mu, but also Jia Zhou felt relieved.
Xu Mu was even lucky that he accepted Jia Zhou's proposal when he was fighting against the tiger barbarians. Unintentionally, he got a great planner in the world who could return to his heart.
"The Demon Queen has just been destroyed, and the world is probably going to be peaceful for a while. This is a good opportunity for my lord. You can take advantage of this opportunity to start things in the Western Region."
Xu Mu thought the same way. Moreover, not only the affairs of the Western Regions, but also Wei Chun's side, he had many ideas for future generations in his heart, and he wanted to put them into practice one by one under the skillful hands of this sick young man.
"Bolie is in Chengdu, so he can rest for a while."
He had no intention of sending Dongfang Jing to Yu Wen again. Not long ago, when he saw Jia Zhou's white hair, he felt extremely astringent.
During the southern and northern campaigns, both military advisors were too busy. Although Chen Que is here, no matter what, you have to be careful.
"Have you noticed, my lord, that our country in Western Shu is no worse than the inner city? These people like us, who started from humble beginnings, each have their own magical powers, and gathered around the lord, we can be considered a talented people." Jia Zhou suddenly spoke.
Xu Mu thought about it and found that it was not wrong.
Two military advisors, many generals such as Chao Yi and Dou Tong, as well as various talents like Wei Chun and Chen Que. Even Wangzhou grooms like Chen Sheng began to take charge of their own business.
"No one can do it except my lord. Not even the King of Yuzhou. It is precisely because of this that we, Xishu, rise step by step."
"My lord, please know that Western Shu is not a short-lived separatist regime. We and other people are willing to follow my lord to conquer the thirty states in the world and create a new dynasty."
"Return to Changyang and conquer the world."
Listening and listening, Xu Mu also began to look forward to the day when the white armor of Xishu would come out and compete with the princes of the world.
