"The Seven Heroes of Western Shu, pay homage to the little military advisor."
At Dawan Pass, after the food and baggage arrived, Li Xiaoyao and others who were traveling with him also hurriedly climbed up the city wall to see Dongfang Jing.
"Seven heroes of Western Shu?" Dongfang Jing was stunned.
"Little Military Advisor, this is the sworn title of the seven of us." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Dongfang Jing also smiled, "There are talented people from generation to generation. In the blink of an eye, these people like you have grown up, and there will be successors in Xishu."
One by one, the veterans wither away, and what follows is the growth of the young players.
"Military advisor, when I come here this time, I am following the master's wishes. I want to follow the military advisor and make achievements." Li Xiaoyao said seriously.
"Of course." Dongfang Jing nodded, "You and the seven others will stay under my tent and obey my orders. After the spring begins, there will probably be a war, so remember not to be careless."
"Don't worry, military advisor."
"From today onwards, the seven of you will take turns patrolling. Follow Chen Zhong and several other veterans to familiarize themselves with the city gates first."
After a pause, Dongfang Jing continued to speak.
"By the way, Xiaoyao, when will Shangguan Hall Master arrive?"
There are nearly 20,000 rebels under Shangguan Shu. This time, they will also go to Lizhou to help in the battle.
"I received a letter earlier. It won't be long before the army will be here."
"It's a pity that Beiyu is keeping a close eye on Xiaer Duo."
The heroes in the world were constantly being captured and killed by the ever-victorious iron execution platform, so they had no choice but to move the entire rudder to the south of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, you can still be a secret army.
"Military advisor." Just as he was saying this, a figure hurriedly walked in outside the door.
The person who came was none other than Chen Zhong. After meeting several young generals from Xishu, he first greeted them with a courtesy and then spoke in a deep tone.
"The snow has not yet melted, and many Beiyu reconnaissance camps have appeared in the area around Lizhou. Military advisor, do you want to send more manpower to Luoyan City? You also know that there is a front line, but there are only 3,000 garrison troops. .”
"It's useless to send more troops." Dongfang Jing was silent for a while before speaking.
"The terrain around Luoyan City is open and it is not suitable to defend it. If we use all our troops to defend it, the gains will outweigh the losses."
"What does the military advisor mean?"
"With the garrison, it is our city of Western Shu. Where it is, it will eventually attract the attention of Chang Sheng."
"I do not understand……"
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "I'll tell you about it later. By the way, Chen Zhong, my junior generals in Xishu, please be more careful and lead them in the past few days to familiarize themselves with the battlefield."
Although they were coming out of the general hall, except for Wei Xiaowu and Li Xiaoyao, these seven people had almost never seen the battlefield, and they had to learn some experience after all.
"Li Xiaoyao, Wei Xiaowu, let's do this. You two don't have to follow us. From today on, we will be promoted to captains in front of the tent, and each will lead an army to guard it."
"Thank you, military advisor."
Dongfang Jing's face was filled with energy for a moment, "Although it's a bit pretentious, I always want to say it out. Li Xiaoyao, you are the beacon of heroes in the world, and you, Wei Xiaowu, are the descendants of Qingtian Camp. You two, Work hard and become famous all over the world.”
Li Xiaoyao and Wei Xiaowu looked at each other and clasped their fists seriously.
…
"This is a letter from the little military advisor. The snow in Lizhou has stopped." In the Chengdu palace, Xiaoxiao Fu held the file and spoke seriously.
"The sun was shining brightly the day before yesterday, and the green hills outside the city are slowly getting new green."
Opposite Little Dog Fu, Chen Dingding nodded.
He understood the meaning of these words. Once the snowy winter was over, the war might start again.
"Is there any information from Beiyu?"
"In addition to mobilizing troops to Lizhou, Chang Sheng recently recruited many generals from aristocratic families. According to my information from Xishu Ye Xiao, there are five good generals from aristocratic families who have great ambitions and were recruited by Chang Sheng. These people under my command were originally called 'Hebei Wuliang', and they all look to be seventeen or eighteen years old."
"The generals of the younger generation are just like me in Xishu." Xu Mu was not surprised. Under this general trend, in order to win the competition, Chang Sheng will definitely use all useful resources.
After a moment of silence, Xu Mu spread out the map.
This map was sent back from Lizhou by Dongfang Jing. Although it is a bit rough, the terrain, Chengguan, streams, and even large villages in Lizhou are all recorded.
"Little Military Advisor Qingfeng, do you have any suggestions?"
"Lord... don't make fun of me, why don't you call me Little Dog Fu." Little Dog Fu continued to speak with some self-deprecation.
"Lizhou is the western gateway to the six states in the inner city. Capture Lizhou and continue to attack in the east direction, which is Sili Sanzhou, approaching Changyang. But I hope that the lord will not go east, but To the northeast.”
"How to say?"
"Lord, please take a look." Puppy Fu clicked his finger and placed it calmly on the map, "If we go northeast, it will be about four or five hundred miles away, and we will reach Jijiang. If next year, there will be no problem with the ship. If we go around Jijiang River, there will be a connecting channel. In this way, we, Xishu, take advantage of Jijiang River and form a sharp blade to attack the hinterland of Beiyu."
"Gou Fu, if that's the case, wouldn't it be necessary to fight all the way to keep this connecting channel? At first glance, there are more than a dozen cities northeast of Lizhou."
"There is no need to fight, just let it go." Xiaoxiao Fu continued, "If you don't fight, you will never be able to win. On the contrary, if you fight, you will definitely increase your army and defend. My suggestion is that when the war starts, the lord is there In the light, he went straight to the direction of Changyang to attack and kill. But in the dark, he went to Jijiang in the northeast. Of course, before the sea ship arrived, the lord needed to confuse the situation, and he must not let Chang Sheng see the flaw. Look Reveal my true intention in Xishu."
"In April and May next year, when there are two sea ships, plus the rebuilt river ship, there will be an army of about 20,000 people, in Wei Chun's words."
"My lord, when the time comes, do you plan to use Miao Tong's navy for long voyages?"
"I have this plan... Gou Fu, your vision is getting more and more incredible."
"It's a stupid idea." Puppy Fu was not arrogant, he raised his head and laughed.
"My lord, you need to understand that what will allow me to win in Xishu is not a frontal decisive battle, but the layouts left behind by the teacher, the Eastern Military Advisor, the lord, the head of the Huang family...many, many people. Frontal battles , I don’t have much hope of winning in Xishu. I believe that Beiyu’s Chang Sheng also knows this, and coupled with the dissatisfaction of the old family in the inner city, he hopes that Xishu will make the decisive battle as soon as possible. "
"But my lord, we must postpone the war until the middle of the year and not fight it quickly."
In the middle of the year, the ships set sail and darkness surged. Only then would Xi Shu’s chance of victory come. But before that, Beiyu's offensive needs to be blocked.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the scenery outside the palace, his eyes suddenly calmed down.
Taking over a country is never an easy task. Fortunately, around him, loyal and passionate comrades have already gathered.
