He did not stay too long. Four or five days later, Wei Chun rushed back to Bailu County to supervise the shipbuilding matters. At the iron workshop, the construction of heavy repeating crossbows has also begun to be put on the agenda.
As for the cavalry heavy armor, up to now, apart from the previous ones, only a thousand pairs have been made. It’s not that the construction period is delayed, but that it requires too many resources. It's okay to say light cavalry. Throughout the ages, those who can raise ten thousand heavy cavalry are almost as big as giants.
"My lord is about to leave."
Xu Mu nodded. Next, is the meeting with Tsuneshiro. Compared with before, the two people who were originally old friends sat down and talked almost for their own interests this time.
There was no flower girl or old friend tea.
"I am in Chengdu and will help my lord take care of the matter of going to the Western Regions." Jia Zhou stood aside and spoke seriously.
"Information came yesterday. Over in Yanzhou, several aristocratic family heads joined forces with Rouran to rebel together. Now, I guess the King of Yuzhou is still busy."
"The people of Yanzhou, just like Gongsun Zu, don't want the entire Yanzhou to become a horse breeding land in Beiyu, and they will become horse breeders."
"Due to interests, it is different from Western Shu. There is no big family in Western Shu taking the lead. As long as the people live a stable life, there will be no uprising. But in other words, the support that the family can provide is incomparable. However, the lord has already I want to choose a path.”
"nature."
"The meeting place will be at the foot of Kuzhi Mountain outside Dingzhou. Please be extremely careful, my lord."
"Wenlong, I will set off tomorrow. Wenlong will have to worry about Chengdu again. But Wenlong needs to know that there is no need to micromanage everything and pay attention to his body and rest."
Xu Mu turned around and bowed to Jia Zhou.
…
"Chang Wei, what should I wear?" Chang Shiro asked hesitantly in the back hall of the palace. He could only ask Chang Wei for these words. Others would probably advise him to put on the golden python armor and put on a thick armor underneath.
"The Xiaodong family is not an outsider... Master, can you not fight with the Xiaodong family?" Chang Wei said aggrievedly, "Young Master, you know that Shahu and I are brothers of life and death, and he saved me before."
Tsuneishiro lowered his head. He didn't know how to answer. He always felt that he and his old friend were like two wooden wheels on a broken carriage, one rolling to the east and the other to the west, and they no longer had the joy of riding together before.
But the general trend of the world is originally unreasonable.
"Chang Wei, it will be fine after the beating."
In silence, Chang Shiro chose a bright-colored robe and armor, put it on his body, and then walked out of the palace with a reluctant Chang Wei.
Under Chang Sheng's determination, there were at least more than 10,000 people following this round, most of them veterans of many battles. Behind them, there were 30,000 rear troops rushing for reinforcements.
Dozens of generals from aristocratic families lined up on both sides of the royal road, raising their hands in greeting. The words that had reached Toushiro's lips slipped away again.
He remembered very clearly... the old Zhongde died in the wind and snow on the imperial road not far ahead. Now, in front of him was the general of the family, and Wang Long's second son, a young man who had just tied his hair. His father and brother sacrificed their lives to stab the King of Grain in the back.
How could he not live up to expectations?
"Let's set off." Tsuneshiro said in a steady voice, carrying the Overlord gun on his back.
"My lord has ordered us to set off for Kuzhi Mountain!"
…
"I'm going to beat him up, I don't want to fight that boy Chang Wei!" Si Hu squatted on the ground, crying and shouting, "That year I went to Changyang, and he invited me to dinner eight times. I beat him, and I won't treat him anymore. What to do!”
"There's no fight, get up quickly!" Xu Mu cursed.
"I asked, I asked, and they said they will definitely fight in the future. Otherwise, Brother Mu, go and talk to the rice seller, just like eating steamed cakes, each person gets half. When everyone is free, you can also We can have a meal together.”
Xu Mu was silent for a moment.
At this point, it is no longer something he or Toshiro can control. The general trend of the world seemed to have a pair of invisible hands pushing the two of them in the direction of collision.
Even if he doesn't fight this time, Xu Qiao will fight in the future.
If the Central Plains cannot be unified, it will be meaningless.
"Follow me. When we return to Chengdu, I'll have a bunch of roe deer hunted and delivered to your house."
"Okay, Brother Mu." Si Hu wiped away his tears and stood up immediately.
"You're a foodie, can't you cry any more?"
"Brother Mu, the key is that the roe deer runs fast and I can't catch it!"
"I'll slap you again."
Xu Mu sighed, no matter what, he should see this. In the past two or three years, in order to stabilize the development of Xishu, it is best to have something similar to an agreement with Beiyu.
It's very mysterious, and it's more likely that under certain circumstances, this type of agreement will become worthless. But you...have to do it.
"Si Hu, let's go."
"Brother Mu, after meeting Chang Wei, can I still hug him?"
This sentence is inexplicably helpless.
"Go ahead and hug her, just don't hug her to death."
Outside Chengdu, people were already standing in a circle. When they heard that Xu Mu was leaving Shu again, many people came to see him off.
"Does the King of Shu recognize me?" an old man shouted in the crowd, with a bit of pride in his voice, "When the King of Shu's army entered Shu, I followed him as a guide!"
"The King of Shu still remembers the Wu family. My family is a rouge seller, and all three of my sons are in the army!"
"When the King of Shu passed by the Qing Palace, I even held the hand of the King of Shu."
…
Xu Mu smiled and returned the greeting to the crowd. Then he turned around and walked towards the city gate. His two princesses and a pair of children were looking at him worriedly.
"My son Xu Qiao, and Xu Feng, come here."
Xu Qiao held his little buttocks in his arms, dragged his sister's hand, and approached Xu Mu.
One on the left and one on the right, Xu Mu picked up the two children. After meeting Chang Laosi, he will start a new round of leaving home.
Just like this in Shuzhou, thousands of soldiers, either guarding the border or accompanying the army, have to stay away from their wives, children, and mothers.
As before, Jiang Caiwei put a new protective triangle into Xu Mu's arms. Li Xiaowan, on the other hand, kept giving endless instructions, such as running away when seeing a fire and asking someone to get a tiger shield when there was a war.
"Nothing, I'll be back soon." Putting down the child, Xu Mu hugged his two wives.
He is used to the days of fighting, but he doesn't know if one day the world will be peaceful and he won't have to fight in the north or south, but he will not get used to it.
"Let's set off." Xu Mu turned around.
This time he went to Kuzhi Mountain with only five thousand people. Of course, Chai Zong's side will be contacted in Dingzhou.
"My son Xu Qiao——"
"My son Si Niu!" Before Xu Mu could finish shouting, Si Hu next to him suddenly roared and began to cry.
Xu Mu was stunned, what a stupid name he got.
"Si Hu, don't cry, you will be back soon."
"No, Brother Mu, I just suddenly remembered, if I give birth to more children, Sima, Sibao and Siyang, how should I choose this name?"
"You take an egg, and I'll help you think of a name when you get back." Xu Mu cursed and urged Si Hu to get on his horse. After a while, a long group of more than 5,000 people began to move quickly in the direction of Yuguan. go.
