"Your suggestion, when the time comes, you and I will need to discuss it with Dongfang's little military advisor." In the palace, Xu Mu smiled. I have to say that Xiao Qiao Fu’s analysis is extremely correct.
This close disciple of Jia Zhou is ready to become famous all over the world.
"Lord, when will we set off?"
"Don't worry, it will take some time."
This time, Xu Mu planned to take the puppy Fu with him to Lizhou. The current Shuzhou has basically no worries after clearing out the tiger barbarians.
Besides, it’s not like there’s no one in Chengdu. There are also people like Li Tao and Han Jiu who can stabilize the overall situation.
"Lord!" Just as Xu Mu was thinking, Sun Xun, who was outside, hurried back.
"My Lord, Military Advisor Zhao Dun and many generals from the Western Regions have arrived in Chengdu."
Hearing this, Xu Mu looked overjoyed.
"Quick, let them in."
Zhao Dun was the man he left to guard the Western Regions. As for the many generals in the Western Regions, it is hard to say that it was Yan Yong who built the tower.
There may be a world-wide war this year. Earlier, Xu Mu had sent a letter asking people from the Western Regions to come to help.
"See my lord!"
"See King Shu!!"
Not long after, familiar faces appeared in front of Xu Mu.
Xu Mu looked happy and greeted everyone one by one. Not to mention Zhao Dun and Yan Yong, kings of the Western Regions such as Lou Zhu all have protons in Chengdu, so their friendship is considered strong.
"Everyone, take your seats." Xu Mu smiled and sat down, turning his head and looking at Sun Xun next to him.
"Sun Xun, go tell Xi Niang and ask her to prepare a better banquet."
"Got the order!"
Just shouting, Sun Xun quickly ran out.
In the palace, Xu Mu and several kings of the Western Regions were polite. In the end, he was led to the post house to rest.
Not long after, only a few civil servants and generals from Western Shu were left in the entire palace.
"Zhao Dun, how is the situation in the Western Region?"
As one of the top five strategists in Western Shu, Zhao Dun is good at diplomacy and has been guarding the Western Regions with meritorious service. After returning to the capital this time, it will not be long before he will return to the Western Regions again.
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is fine. Through the Silk Road, I have accumulated more money in Western Shu. In those countries in the Western Regions, wine, luminous cups and the like can really be exchanged for a lot of money. When I came to Xishu, I also admired me even more."
Xu Mu exhaled.
Unfortunately, the number of people assisting this time was not the expected 20,000, but only 13,400. Among them, there are 6,000 cavalry troops and the rest are auxiliary troops.
"Yan Yong, how do you feel?" Xu Mu turned around and looked in front of him. The Yan Yong in front of him was the general he had conquered in the Western Regions.
In Western Shu as a whole, there are not many generals who are good at foot combat. When the time comes to fight together, we can't rely solely on Dongfang Jing. After all, the wider the battle line is, the more occupied it will be. At that time, it is impossible to say that Beiyu will be victorious, and there will be tricks to divide the battlefield and isolate intelligence.
When the time comes, you will have to rely on the leading general.
After listening to Xu Mu's words, Yan Yong raised his head. On the face, there are still the vicissitudes of thousands of miles away.
"Lord, I'm ready."
Seriously speaking, no matter who looks at it, Yan Yong does not look like a Central Plains person. The facial features are more like those from the Western Regions. But when we get to the bottom of it, it turns out that although his father married a woman from the Western Regions, Yan Yong is indeed a descendant of the Yan family in the Central Plains.
"Have you ever seen the little military advisor from the East?"
"I've been rushing all the way, but I haven't seen him yet."
Xu Mu nodded and did not blame him.
In the future, Yan Yong, as a step general, will be transferred to Dongfang Jing's account.
"Lord." Zhao Dun cupped his hands and clasped his fists again, "This time I rushed back from the Western Regions. Knowing that the war was about to start again, I persuaded the countries in the Western Regions to donate more than 800 good horses and serve as heavy cavalry war horses. The good horses from the Western Regions, and The Central Plains is different. Due to the terrain, there are many sweat horses. These 800 horses, although there are not many sweat horses, are all carefully raised by horse dealers in the Western Regions."
"Zhao Dun, you are interested. By the way, where is that boy Wei Feng?"
"I'll go ahead and estimate that General Wei will arrive in a few days."
"I have been waiting for him for a long time."
There are two cavalry generals in Western Shu, one is Chao Yi and the other is Wei Feng. Chao Yi will lead tens of thousands of light cavalry, while Wei Feng will be the leader of three thousand heavy cavalry.
Chao Yi in Liangzhou has selected his cavalry and is ready.
In the palace, the lights flickered a little. Zhao Dun, who originally looked happy, hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to speak.
"My lord, please forgive me. Let me say one more thing. I have discussed with General Chao Yi that the Yumen Pass outside Liangzhou will also be renovated. When the time comes, there will be more than enough to help the tribe... If the war is unlucky, my lord can withdraw from the Yumen Pass and make a comeback." "
Listening, Xu Mu was silent for a moment and did not blame Zhao Dun.
What Zhao Dun meant was that if he failed to compete with Beiyu for the world, he would withdraw from the Central Plains and temporarily live in the Western Regions to look for opportunities to make a comeback.
But Xu Mu didn't want to choose this path. Now, whether it is Xishu or Beiyu, there is no way out. They can only fight for victory. Whoever wins will be the emperor and start a new dynasty.
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xu Mu stood up.
"Don't be like this. Like many other princes of Western Shu, I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time. But today, I will stop talking about the official business here. Follow me to the banquet later. No, Drunk to no end.”
As soon as Xu Mu finished speaking, everyone in the palace laughed.
…
"Yan Pi, put on my armor for me."
Chang Sheng, who was barefoot and thinly clothed, raised his head and glanced at the sky, his voice extremely calm.
This winter, in order to punish himself for his mistakes in the Snow Winter War, he stayed barefoot and thinly clothed. But now, he has to leave Changyang after all and prepare to go to the front line.
"Little strategist, if not... you can rest for a few days and ask the doctor to take care of yourself." Yan Pi lowered his head and looked at his little strategist's foot sores and frost scars all over his body. He felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. sad.
"No need, the lame man has been staying in Dawanguan, it's time for me to move." Chang Sheng said in a deep voice, "After all, I have to go earlier and check the terrain for a few more rounds. In this way, I can avoid the lame man even if I have no choice. It’s a plan.”
"By the way, Yan Pi, I will send someone later to invite Wuliang from Hebei and let them go with me. In addition, write a letter for me and tell Huang Zhizhou of the Northern Route Army to prepare for mobile assistance starting today."
"I always win, and I am willing to use the body of a candle to shine a bright road for Beiyu."
