"The battle failed, and he fled into the sand sea. At first, he was depressed and frustrated. At that time, he asked someone to send a letter and found his father, so he wanted to return to the Central Plains. But my father said that the entire Central Plains could not tolerate him. "
"Originally, my father's intention was to help him gain a foothold in the Sand Sea out of friendship with the same clan. But later, for some reason, my father... changed his mind and funded more and more money to help him gain a foothold in the Sand Sea Tribe. , once became the Zuo elder of the Great Witch Zhu."
Xu Mu sat down and began to listen carefully. He finally understood that what Lao Huang left to him was really not simple.
Damn it, how could I forget all of a sudden, that is Master Zao’s dog name.
"Zhixiu, is there any news about Zhao Qingyun?"
If I remember correctly, it was not only Huang Daochun but also Zhao Qingyun who fled to the Sand Sea.
"After going to the Rong tribe, he was originally going to be burned to death, but Huang Daochun helped him. Then, he used some method to marry the daughter of a Rong chief and survived. Now, He has become a general of the Sha Rong people."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. The amount of information coming out of Huang Zhixiu's mouth was a bit overwhelming for a while. The people who had gone their separate ways seemed to suddenly appear in front of him again.
Of course, if you see such a dogman who lures foreigners into the customs, you will definitely kill him.
"My lord, if you want to meet Huang Daochun, it is not difficult. You only need to introduce him in the name of my father." Huang Zhixiu added.
This honest boy never wanted to call Huang Daochun his uncle.
"Now, this matter is serious and I need to think about it carefully. In addition, please don't tell others about this matter for the time being."
Huang Zhixiu hurriedly clasped his fists.
"Lord, don't worry, I understand everything."
"Very good."
On the way back to the palace, Xu Mu was worried all the way.
Obviously, Lao Huang gave him a trick when it came to the Sha Rong people. As for how to use this move, it still needs careful consideration.
Old Huang, Old Huang, this is such a sophisticated idea.
"Sun Xun, is Gou Fu back?"
"According to the past, Uncle Gou Fu would only spend one night in the hut on Fengshan Mountain before returning to Chengdu. I guess he is ready to enter the city."
"If he comes back, invite him to the palace."
"Lord, don't worry."
Sitting on the throne, Xu Mu raised his head and looked silently at Huo Zhu next to him.
Zhao Qingyun and Huang Daochun, these two lost dogs have really caused harm to the people for thousands of years.
After being slightly distracted, Xu Mu asked someone to get pen and paper and wrote a secret letter.
"Sun Xun, tell Ye Xiao's brother to find a way to send him to Hezhou to the Six Heroes' military advisor."
…
Inner city, Changyang.
Like Xishu, it was time to return to Beijing to report on work.
At this moment, several figures sat together in silence. From the left, they are Chang Shilang, Chang Sheng, Shen Tu Guan, the sheepherd, two old men from aristocratic families, and Chang Wei who is carrying the wine jar next to him.
These people are almost the most top-notch people in Beiyu.
Although Qingfeng was killed in this winter battle, it was helpless that Dawan Pass was lost, and even the famous general Jiang Meng also died in Kezhou.
Chang Sheng was barefoot and wearing a thin shirt, and there were whip marks on his face. Of course, it was not Tsuneshiro who whipped him, but him who punished himself and made himself guilty for this mistake in the war.
"Chang Sheng, get dressed." Chang Shiro sighed.
Chang Sheng shook his head, "It's just one winter, my lord, please do as I wish."
"How did I discover that you are as stubborn as old Zhongde." Knowing that he could not persuade him, Chang Shiro immediately cursed.
Chang Sheng remained silent and lowered his head.
"Chang Wei, bring two hand stoves. It's a bit cold today. Chang Sheng, your damn face looks like this, are you going to cry?"
After another curse, Changshiro finally spoke seriously.
"Okay, let's talk about it. Tell me, how will Lizhou be like next year? You also know that because of the loss of Lizhou, many old families in the inner city are now dissatisfied."
"My lord, we must take back Dawan Pass."
"How to take it."
An old man from an aristocratic family who spoke was silent for a while, but after all he couldn't come up with a solution.
"Chang Sheng, do you have any suggestions?"
Chang Sheng thought for a while, "My lord, only by finding a way to force the Shu people to fight can we gain the upper hand."
Tsuneshiro fell into deep thought.
"I know the terrain of Lizhou. After Dayuan Pass, there is a large flat land. If there is a war, there will be cavalry camps fighting. Although, I destroyed Gongsunzu's Yanzhou and got more than 10,000 bow cavalry. . But no matter what, that Xiaodong...that king of Western Shu has extremely terrifying control over the cavalry. Moreover, there is Dongfang Jing."
Everyone present became a little reluctant when they heard Dongfang Jing's name. Looking at the Central Plains, although Beiyu's troops were more powerful, Xishu had the upper hand time and time again.
"Small-scale wars are what lame people are best at." Chang Sheng said calmly, "Only in a big war, with Beiyu's overwhelming military power, can we have a chance to defeat Xishu. But we must lure The decisive battle in Xishu still needs an opportunity."
"Little strategist, what kind of opportunity."
"Throughout the ages, the cause of battles has often been the gathering of reinforcements from all directions. Just like this winter battle in Kezhou, both Beiyu and Xishu sent a large number of troops to rush for reinforcements. If you follow my suggestions , choose a city, station troops and transport food, and then make it an isolated city to lure the Shu people to attack continuously. Of course, such a choice requires a top general to defend it."
Several people looked at Shen Tuguan silently.
Shen Tu Guan didn't say anything, he cupped his hands and said, "If this is the case, I, Shen Tu Guan, am willing to lead the army."
The shepherd beside him thought for a while and spoke.
"Little strategist, how can we lure a lame man to attack?"
"If a flaw is found, the lame man will use a trick. Just fall into the trick." Chang Sheng said calmly.
"If you fall into the trap, wouldn't you be in a bad situation?"
"That's why we need famous generals like General Shentu to guard the isolated city and lure the Shu people to attack. I still say that it is difficult for Beiyu to fight a small-scale war, and it cannot be strong. It is better to find a way to fight with The people of Shu are fighting a big battle. The cause of the battle is the isolated city they guard."
"The ever-victorious little strategist needs to choose a strategic location to attract the lame man's attention." Another old man from an aristocratic family thought for a while and spoke.
"Of course, it's Luoyan City in Lizhou."
"Luoyan City... has now been captured by the Shu people." The old man from the aristocratic family was shocked.
"Luoyan City is far away from Dawan Pass, and there are open plains on all sides. The lame man will not waste too much force and defend here. He can also guess that after the spring of next year, I, Beiyu, will find a way. Take back the entire Lizhou. Therefore, it won’t be too difficult to capture Luoyan City next year. At that time, we can use it as a transit food city to lure lame people into fighting for it."
Chang Sheng's voice continued, extremely calm, "When the time comes, as long as General Shentu can securely defend Luoyan City and wait for the reinforcements from both sides to rush over, it will inevitably lead to a big battle and a showdown with the Shu people!"
