The next day, Lu Xiong's three small ships rushed back to the port.
When he saw Xu Mu, the reckless man danced with joy.
"Ru Xiong meets my lord!"
"Get up." Xu Mu smiled. He has always been assured of Lu Xiong's work. This former veteran general had made a great contribution in the decisive battle with Dongling.
"Lu Xiong, how are you overseas?"
Lu Xiong wiped his face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, I have taken people to see the area near the ship port, and there is no harm. In this Cangwu Prefecture, I guess there is no one except King Jiaozhou." I didn’t know we were hiding here to build ships!”
At first, Xu Mu's place of consideration was Wuzhou. However, he thought that there were many spies from the iron torture platform in Xishu, so he simply retreated and set up the ship port in Cangwu Prefecture in the South China Sea.
"I heard that iron ore was discovered in the open sea?"
"Hey, my lord also knows, it must be Master Wei who said it. However, there is iron ore, and although the sea depth is not very long, there are several pearl divers in the ship port, and it took a lot of means to confirm it. "
Pearl divers who go into the sea to search for pearls must not only be well versed in the properties of water, but it is said that they can hold their breath several times longer than ordinary people. Even so, it has only just been confirmed and cannot be mined at all.
Unless he comes up with a way.
However, the most important thing right now is to transfer Zhou Zun's mining camp over first. It is estimated that this place will be the most important material place in Western Shu in the future.
"By the way, lord." Lu Xiong suddenly spoke again, "This time I went to sea a little further, and it took nearly half a month to go back and forth. On the way, I met a small fisherman. He told me that there is no way to follow the sea voyage. Few of the Sea Tribes.”
Xu Mu frowned. He had always been concerned about this matter, and now that he heard Lu Xiong talk about it, he could confirm it. There is another concern. Ling Su, who calls himself Hidden Lin, sent many people to look for him in Yandao, Wuzhou, but no one was alive or dead, and no corpses were found. Logically speaking, if you die at sea, the tide will slowly push the floating corpse back to the nearby coast.
In other words, Ling Su is still alive?
At this thought, Xu Mu felt unhappy. Dongling was destroyed, and the Grain King was scattered to pieces. Damn Lingsu, he was still holding on.
"My lord and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we just get drunk today? By the way, there is also Military Master Yin, please drink with us!"
"Very good."
Today's boat port suddenly became lively.
…
Lizhou, Dayuan Pass.
Sitting on the top of the city for a long time, Chang Sheng's eyes were persistent and refused to be taken back for a long time.
"Military advisor, the Nangong family members have no role to play and have already left Shu."
Chang Sheng rubbed his eyes and finally came back to his senses after hearing Yan Pi's words.
"Military advisor, I heard that an old Confucian named Chen Fang used some method to collect the scandals of the Nangong family and forced the legitimate son of the Nangong family to leave in a hurry, not daring to stay any longer."
"Chen Fang." Chang Sheng frowned, "In the previous information, it was Lizhou Old Confucian, right?"
"Exactly."
"A native of Lizhou has entered Shu again... However, as an old scholar, he actually chose Western Shu instead of Beiyu. This surprised me a little."
"If not, send the soldiers who died on the iron execution platform -" Yan Pi stopped his voice and made a gesture of cutting his neck.
Chang Sheng shook his head, "Killing an insignificant person will only alert the enemy. Don't be impatient. I will make this move slowly. Sooner or later, Xi Shu will suffer a disaster."
"Military advisor, now -"
"What is the lame man from Dingzhou doing recently?"
"Information came from the iron execution platform, and he seems to be taking a rest. Look at him, even the little strategists are here, but he still looks like this. Could it be that he thinks that he is really unparalleled in wisdom and scheming?"
"He is indeed qualified to be arrogant." Chang Sheng felt helpless, "I would rather he had it, but it's a pity that he doesn't."
The words were a bit convoluted, and Yan Pi was confused.
"The stalemate in the war is not what I want, nor what the lame man wants. Should he break this stalemate, or should I break it."
Between Dingzhou and Lizhou, except for the occasional fight between the reconnaissance battalion and the encounter between the patrolling cavalry battalion, there was no fighting.
The truce agreement was torn up and the thousands-mile attack failed. Everything seemed to have returned to its original appearance.
"Military advisor, there is another piece of information from the north."
"My lord's?"
"No, it's from Beidi... Over in the Beidi grassland, the Sha Rong people, who have been retreating steadily, were resurrected and almost wiped out the royal court."
Chang Sheng frowned. In the past, the Central Plains feared Di as much as a tiger, which shows how powerful Beidi was. Time and time again, if my brother and my little boss hadn't come to rescue him, I'm afraid the Beidi people would really break through Hezhou and take over the Central Plains.
But now it is said that the Beidi people were beaten to the point of running away with their heads in their hands.
"Could the rising Sha Rong be the barren foreign race that used to live on the other side of the Sand Sea?"
"Exactly. There is a newly ascended King Sha Rong. It is said that he is very skilled in military tactics and tactics. He is the leader. The Sha Rong soldiers, who only have 50,000 soldiers, took advantage of the Beidi people's vitality to be severely weakened and attacked near the royal court in one fell swoop. "
"Foreigners will bring trouble to me in the Central Plains."
"Le Qing, who is guarding Hezhou, has sent a letter to the lord regarding the reinforcement of troops."
"Le Qing is pretty good. As long as he doesn't fall into the trap, he can still hold on." Chang Sheng exhaled. Although the war is stalemate, the recent intelligence seems to be getting more and more confusing.
…
In Dongguan, Dingzhou, Dongfang Jing sat by the candle, silently looking at the information in his hand.
Apart from the fact that my lord went to Cangwu Province, most of the rest were trivial matters. However, a piece of information from the north made him suddenly worried.
"Sha Rong people." Dongfang shouted respectfully. Due to Beiyu's pressing step by step, there was still one thing in his hands that had not been put into effect.
That is Mi Taoist disciple Yao Rong. This traitor from the Central Plains who serves as Sha Rong's liaison is still imprisoned in the dungeon in Jiangnan.
If Beidi was destroyed, it would be considered a good thing, but in fact it would also be a bad thing. That would mean that another powerful alien race would dominate the north of the Central Plains.
"Do you have any information about General Li's expedition to the north?"
General Li who conquered the north was none other than Li Poshan. They were originally hiding in the Beidi tribe, but now the Beidi people are being beaten and are constantly moving south. Dongfang Jing suddenly hoped that Li Banbi of the former dynasty, who was listed as the best general in the world, could return to Western Shu. If this is the case, it will be an extremely powerful boost to the entire Xishu.
You know, in the previous dynasty, there were only two people who could be called half-walled. One is Lord Yuan, and the other is General Li who conquered the north.
"Military advisor, there is no information about General Li. I can't say that he has already entered the Central Plains?"
Dongfang Jing was silent for a while, exhaled, and looked quietly towards the distance of the city gate. A look of anticipation slowly appeared on his face. In this world, after all, it is not a matter of one person and one knife. Just like them, many people need to gather around their lord to win this war between the north and the south.
