The information from Huzhou quickly spread to Changyang and reached the ears of Fulong's little military advisor.
At this time, Chang Sheng frowned, unable to describe the shock in his heart. Whether it was Shu armor or the so-called tens of thousands of Shu soldiers, they all came from the hands of the lame man.
"Yan Pi, what do you think this lame man is going to do? I originally thought he really dared to tear up the truce agreement."
Huang Zhizhou is gone, and now the only person left by Chang Sheng's side is Yan Pi. After hearing Chang Sheng's words, Yan Pi paused and spoke.
"Military advisor, if he is not wrong, it should be to kill and injure our army. Over in Yucheng, I heard that Shentu Guan's clan brothers killed and injured three to four thousand people. If Huang Zhizhou hadn't come to put out the fire at the last moment, I'm afraid things would have changed. It will be a big disaster.”
"Huang Zhizhou is indeed a great talent." Chang Sheng praised, but seemed to be hesitating before speaking again for a long time, "A lame man helps a rebel army like this, I always feel like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. But There seems to be no clue about other things.”
Chang Sheng frowned, "I guess the lame man is very likely to have a next move. But the fire in Yucheng did not cause the soldiers to panic, so his next move has been discontinued. Otherwise, the move he spent all his efforts on Chess just makes no sense.”
"The military advisor is also a man of great wisdom." Not knowing what to say, Yan Pi could only praise him again.
"Forget it. Compared with the lame man, I'm still far behind. With such a person in Xishu, I can't rest assured."
First the poisonous osprey, then the lame man. These two are the biggest pillars of Xi Shu.
"Yan Pi, has General Zhonghu come back?"
"Already on the way home."
Tens of thousands of Shu soldiers are just a piece of false information. Therefore, Huang Zhizhou, who was rushing to help, did not stay any longer, but turned back to Changyang first.
"He has also made a great contribution this time." Chang Sheng laughed, "He led the army in front and behind him, making camp step by step. He fell into the rebels' trap in Shentu, and he was able to turn the tide. He is indeed a great talent."
"We have to give him a chance after all. Don't lock him in a cage like Xi Shu did."
…
Without leaving Dingzhou, Dongfang Jing delayed for a while and still stayed at Dingdong Pass, discussing military affairs with Chai Zong every day. In the end, he helped determine the defense of Beiguan and Dongguan.
"General Chai Zong, I will return to Chengdu in three days."
"Military advisor...why did you go back suddenly?"
"I have something to discuss with my lord." Dongfang Jing said with a smile. In fact, there is no need to stay any longer.
This step, although not perfect. But it was done well and nothing went wrong. Next, wait for it to break out of the ground.
Xi Shu's strategy has been finalized. If you want to use the weak to attack the strong and defeat Beiyu, this is the most critical step, and there is no room for any mistakes.
"By the way, Chai Zong, is there anything going on with the Hebei rebels recently?"
"No, after the fire in Yucheng, they killed and injured some people in more than a month, and hid the rest."
Dongfang Jing nodded. Since the Hebei rebels are unwilling to enter Shu, it is not easy to force them. Of course, in his opinion, this small number of rebels could not defeat the general trend and were destroyed by Beiyu.
"Chai Zong, winter is coming."
It's almost late autumn. Unlike Jiangnan, the area near Dingzhou is already chilly.
By waiting until this time to leave Dingzhou, the people of Beiyu must have thought that winter would come and they would no longer be able to fight. Dongfang Jing could only go back to Shuzhou.
"The first year of the truce is almost over."
…
In Shuzhou, in the sunshine of early winter, the weather is not too cold. But at Jiang Caiwei's insistence, Xu Mu could only wear a cloak.
Li Dawan specially went to Chen Que's place and learned how to cook health soup.
However, Xu Mu, who was in his thirties, suddenly looked like an old man who had lost a kidney.
"She's given birth, my wife has given birth!" At this time, Si Hu ran into the palace with red eyes, and his face was filled with joy as soon as he spoke.
"A baby was born!"
In the palace, Xu Mu and Xiao Qiao Fu could not help but be startled. This time seems like a lifetime ago. The stupid man who snatched the candied haws from the child now knows how to drive piles and even gave birth to a baby.
"Brother Mu, you have to help me name it!"
"Let's go!" Xu Mu was joyful from the bottom of his heart. Si Hu's getting married and having children has always been a major concern for him. It seems that the original choice was right. Si Hu got a wave of dividends from the intermarriage between peace and barbarians.
Not long after, the entire Si Mansion was surrounded by people. Even Sun Xun, who was not dealing with Si Hu, came over with a gift box.
Among them, the shopkeeper of the mutton soup shop and the shopkeeper of the steamed bun shop came to congratulate him together.
An old assistant general cried loudly in the mansion on the spot.
"Brother Tiger is already giving birth to babies. That year he went to war and robbed me of food for the stove. Now, he has a baby. Our Brother Tiger is already a man."
It was rare that Si Hu was not angry this time. Sun Xun punched him twice in succession, but he didn't fight back, but just stood there and giggled. From time to time, according to the instructions of his wife, he would have people pour tea and bring cakes.
"Brother Mu, my wife has asked you to help me choose a name."
"I said, General Tiger, if you call Si Hu, your sons might as well be called Si Bao, Si Niu, or Si Sheep. They must be fierce in battle!"
"Sun Xun, if you keep being careless, I, Si Hu, will really beat you up."
Sun Xun ran away in a hurry and went around behind Xu Mu.
At this time, Xu Mu pondered for a while, looking at the little thing in the swaddling clothes with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain.
"My lord, my name is Sizhuang, the pile driver!"
The old general who shouted was kicked out by Si Hu.
"Call Si An. You don't want to become a world-famous general, just be safe."
"Okay, this is a good name!" Si Hu cheered hurriedly without thinking deeply about its meaning.
"When the lot is drawn at the full moon, we will know what kind of person this little Sian will become in the future." Jiang Caiwei, who was on the side, also showed a rare smile.
Drawing lots on the full moon is an ancient custom. Grab the book and read it later. But if you hold on to a wooden sword and a wooden sword, you will be able to engage in martial arts in the future.
Xu Mu remembered that when Xu Qiao drew lots, he seemed to have drawn both hands, including a book and an exquisite robe.
The implication of this is probably the way to govern a country.
…
About a month later, everyone gathered in the Si Mansion again. They all gathered in a circle and watched carefully to see what little Sian would catch when he drew lots.
But he never thought that Xiao Sian looked at the small objects next to him without any interest. While many people were stunned, he climbed out of the mat and crawled towards his father.
Si Hu squatted down happily and just picked up his son——
But at this moment, the whole hall was filled with shouts.
Xu Mu covered his forehead.
The little Sian's hand pulled out a wooden sign from Si Hu's waist. That wooden sign was clearly made by Hua Niang of the Qing Dynasty. If you have this thing, you are a regular customer and you can get a 20% discount.
"Catch it again! My son, catch it again!" Si Hu grabbed the flower card and spoke hurriedly in shock. In the end, this silly man actually picked up a small wooden knife and put it in the big boy's hand.
"Okay, okay, it's true that he caught the wooden knife by drawing lots! This kid, as expected, followed Brother Tiger!" An old assistant general was startled and was the first to shout.
Suddenly, the entire Si Mansion was filled with helpless cheers.
