Five days later, there was no delay. Summoning more than a thousand guards, Xu Mu took Sihu Gonggu and started heading towards Nanlin County.
"Si Hu, don't you want to coax me anymore?"
"I'm worried that something might happen to Brother Mu. If I were in the Snake Way before, I wouldn't be able to escape within two days!"
Xu Mu felt warm in his heart.
"Brother will not die, and neither will you. Sooner or later, we brothers will be rich and powerful!"
"Rich people can eat steamed buns and mutton soup. My two sons and my wife can also spend a lot of money!" Si Hu laughed instantly.
Xu Mu also became happy. Although my weird brother is naive, he is still a simple person. The bow dog next to him looked at the two people in front of him and smiled unconsciously.
"Brother Mu, what are we going to do there?"
"Brother, go over there and perform a good trick on you and the longbow." Xu Mu said firmly. With the methods of later generations, it is much more exciting than Zuo Shiren's "fish in the pond".
As long as we succeed and conquer the 50,000-strong Shanyue Camp, there will be no problem.
"march!"
"My lord has an order, let's set off and march!"
After the Humans were completely pacified, there were no longer any hostile groups in the entire Shuzhou. Even the iron execution platform and some bandits would definitely not dare to intercept and kill them with the guards of thousands of people and Sihu's bow and dog.
…
Nanlin Mountains.
As the chief guard, Han Jiu still looked puzzled. He stared at the four water dragon heads in the warehouse with his eyes wide open.
"Mr. Fei Xiu, you said that my master wants these things. What do you want to do?"
"It has its own purpose." Fei Xiu already vaguely understood that his master wanted to imitate Zuo Shiren and put on a good show for Shanyue Camp. He believed that with his lord's ability, it was impossible to say that this round would shock the many Shanyue camps and even another 10,000 surrendered troops.
"General Han Jiu, my lord should be arriving soon, and you and I should prepare early."
"Mr. Fei Xiu, what should I... do?"
"He then went to convey the message to the surrendering troops, whether it was the Shanyue camp or other surrendering troops and civilians, that the reclamation of wasteland in the Nanlin Mountains was about to be completed, and that the lord wanted to hold a winter festival."
"If too many people gather together, will there be trouble?"
"Don't worry, General Han. I've sent someone to invite the Little Man King from Fuyang County. He will bring people over to guard against any eventuality."
Han Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this and ran out immediately.
Not long after, in the rows of wooden houses under the Nanlin Mountains, many people with weathered faces heard the news of the winter festival, and they did not look happy at all.
"I, the Shanyue people, will not surrender." An old Shanyue man with white hair sat on the ground and looked at the people around him and spoke in a deep voice.
This old man's name is Wu Zuo, and like Fei Xiu, he is also the chief of the Shanyue tribe. The difference is that Feifu supports Xishu, but he misses the former Dongling Renwang. He often provoked the people of Shanyue to fight against the soldiers of Shu.
"Don't forget, if Zuo Shuipiao hadn't taught us how to grow rice and weave hemp, we would have starved to death! Then Fei Xiu was like a running dog of the Shu people, helping the Shu people to harm our Shanyue tribe. ! With his appearance, he still wants to be a powerful patriarch!"
"Clan Chief Wu Zuo, about the winter festival—"
"Don't go!" Wu Zuo shouted, "I've said it before, our biggest chance is to wait for the Beiyu people to break into Shuzhou and gain freedom, and then help the King of Beiyu unify the world! Western Shu, Western Shu is Kill King Zuo’s enemies!”
"Chief Wuzuo, for more than a year, the Shu people have not punished us and only let us go to the mountains and forests to open up wasteland... I heard that the women and children of the Yue tribe in Lingzhou are also free of charge. We pay taxes and live a good life.”
"Confused, you are confused!" Wu Zuo became angry, "This is Xu Buyi's plan. He is not good to us. He wants us to surpass the masses and become the vanguard of the flesh army in Western Shu!"
The people nearby became silent for a moment.
As someone said just now, even if they work as coolies to open up wasteland, the Shu people are pretty good to them, and they will have a meal of wine and meat every now and then.
The family members in Lingzhou, Chuzhou, now have some free time. After obtaining official documents, they can even come to visit relatives.
"Remember, only Beiyu can help the Shanyue tribe now. This world will belong to Beiyu sooner or later! Xu Buyi of Xishu is our enemy! And Fei Xiu is a traitor to the Shanyue people!"
In the wooden house, Wu Zuo sounded angry and added another sentence at the end.
"He never wants to be the leader of the clan!"
…
Standing in the cold morning wind, Fei Xiu, who was leaning on crutches, sneezed, but soon stood up again to welcome the lord who was about to arrive.
Just as the sound of horse hooves approached, the voice of General Xishu Tiger suddenly rang out.
"Han Jiu is so stupid, Brother Tiger is here to see you——"
Han Jiu, who was standing at the front, cursed her and refused to be outdone.
"Silly tiger and silly, you are the number one fool in Xishu!"
"Look at my dog Fu, his surname is Han, and your surname is Han, how come there is such a big difference? There are two cubs in one house, one is stupid and the other is smart." Si Hu's laughter rose again.
"Han Jiuhanhan, you are scolding me, but in the entire Xishu, except for me and my son, no one has the surname Si!"
This sentence shocked Xu Mu, who had just dismounted.
Han Jiu was so angry that he jumped up and ignored him. He hurriedly walked to Xu Mu and saluted.
"Han Jiu, Mo Li is this guy." Xu Mu comforted him with a smile, raised his head and looked at the people gathered in front of him. To be honest, Han Jiu has guarded the Nanlin Mountains for so long without any incident, which is a great achievement.
"Fei Xiu pays homage to the lord."
"Excuse me, how are things prepared?"
"According to the Lord's wishes, everything is ready."
Xu Mu nodded with satisfaction, "Don't rush now. We'll do the winter festival tomorrow in a day's time."
"Master, do you want to read the file?"
"Exactly."
The Nanlin County area has always been a place to collect surrender troops. In the long-term war in the south and north, in addition to the 50,000 mountain camp in Dongling, in addition to the previous wave of surrenders, there are probably more than 10,000 surrender troops in Nanlin County now. According to Xu Mu's plan, the war will be urgent next year, so he will simply surrender all at once and serve as soldiers of Western Shu.
Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, a curse came from the front.
"Xu Buyi, you are a traitor to the country, don't even think about me, the Shanyue people, surrendering to you!"
Xu Mu frowned, looked up, and found a Laoyue man, leading ten or eight people, cursing at him by the wooden house in the camp where they were living.
"It's this old man again!" Han Jiu was furious and was about to draw his sword to kill. But all of a sudden, he was stopped by Fei Xiu next to him.
"Fei Xiu, who is this person?"
"An old Yue tribe leader of a large tribe named Wu Zuo. His son unfortunately died in the battle of Lingshu. He has always disliked Western Shu. But my lord, you must not kill him now. If you kill him, you will It has chilled the hearts of many Yue people. Of course I am confident that I can help the lord surrender 20,000 yuan, but the remaining 30,000 yuan is still waiting to be seen."
When they crossed the river to help, no wonder Fei Xiu could only bring 20,000.
Xu Mu half-closed his eyes. In his opinion, Wu Zuo was nothing more than a clown no matter how much he made trouble or made trouble. Waiting for tomorrow's winter festival, I'm afraid that the tricks prepared will completely suppress the 50,000 Shanyue people.
