"The King of Shu also knows that when I was in Beidi, I was the national advisor and the first staff member of the Saibei Grassland."
"Indeed." Xu Mu nodded cooperatively. To be honest, Master Suzao is not stupid, and he is somewhat resourceful, but in the end he is not as good as those in the Central Plains. Not to mention Jia Zhou and Sima Xiu, even if he pulls out Zhuo Yuanzi from Liangzhou, he will be able to brutally torture him. Master Zao.
"Huang Daochun, you are a smart man, and you should know why I put so much effort into bringing you back. Now, you can tell me the recent trends among the Sha Rong people."
He can fight to the death with Chang Laosi, no problem. But if it is Sha Rong in the north, it dares to think of "taking over the Central Plains" like Beidi did. Then things become complicated.
"After occupying the Saibei grassland, Hao Lienzhan issued an order to recuperate. I took the groom's camp and repaired many horse farms. But later, I seemed to have heard some things, but I couldn't remember clearly at the moment. "
Kneeling on the ground, Huang Daochun lowered his head. Perhaps remembering something, his body began to tremble again.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and sneered. Dongfang Jing next to him slowly opened his closed eyes. They all understood that Huang Daochun hesitated to speak, clearly waiting for a price.
"Master Huang, don't worry. I will invite you back. Don't dare to say anything else. I, Xu Mu, will not kill you. When the time comes, I will entrust you with important tasks."
Hearing Xu Mu's words, Huang Daochun raised his head in surprise. In the Saibei grassland, even with the support of the Huang family, he suffered a lot, but he still looked like an old man in his thirties.
"King Shu...are you serious about this?"
"Call Brother Xu." Xu Mu smiled and said, "Of course I take it seriously. Now that I have said it, I will definitely entrust you with a heavy responsibility."
"Thank you so much, King of Shu!" Huang Daochun was extremely excited and knocked his head heavily, "I hope that one day I can worship in Western Shu, follow the King of Shu on an expedition, defeat Beiyu with my life's wisdom, and make contributions to Western Shu."
Pull it down... Your method of calculating stoves is already world-famous. Not everyone can defeat monsters at that level.
Xu Mu felt helpless. But on the surface, he still looked gentle, waiting for Huang Daochun to speak again.
"I sent several girls to the Sha Rong tribe before I got a piece of news. I heard that the Sha Rong king Hao Lienzhan had talked for several rounds about entering the Central Plains. It was not to pay tribute... I left At that time, I found that several sword wizards from Beidi had been invited to the king's tent."
"Sword witch? Cut off the bones to disguise yourself?" Dongfang Jing, who was next to him, finally spoke.
"Bo Lie, why do you mean cutting off your bones to disguise yourself?"
"Use a knife to cut the facial bones without hurting the facial features. After the injury, it will be like a different face. Generally speaking, this kind of bone cutting method does not last long, usually only two or three months. The facial bones are resurrected and eventually return to their original shape. That was the method used by Chang Jiulang when Beidi knocked the pass. The difference was that he was a madman and did not care about the scars and wounds on the facial features at all. He cut two pieces a day. Facial bones.”
After saying that, Dongfang Jing raised his head and met Xu Mu's eyes. There was clearly a look of worry hidden in their eyes.
If what Huang Daochun said is true, then Hao Lianzhan, the king of Sha Rong, dared to cut off his bones and change his appearance, and it is impossible to say that he really wanted to enter the Central Plains.
"Huang Daochun, what kind of person is Hao Lianzhan?"
"He is indeed a hero of his generation." Huang Daochun's eyes were blurry. "King Shu, you should know that when Hao Lianzhan was twelve years old, he dared to fight against a pack of wolves with one sword. After the death of the old King Sha Rong, he started with five hundred horse slaves. , outside the royal court, the three thousand elites who killed another prince abandoned their armor. After receiving more and more support, in a very short time, they regained control of the Sha Rong tribe, barely breathing. After only one year, he led 50,000 Sha Rong people to defeat the more than 200,000 tribal troops in Beidi."
"He has a calm temperament and clear distinction between rewards and punishments. He is rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. He is extremely loved by the Sha Rong people. Today, many tribes including Beidi also regard him as the 'Great Khan'."
Xu Mu felt uncomfortable hearing this. If Xi Shu succeeds in the battle, he will definitely follow the young marquis's legacy, break through the Saibei grassland, and restore the power of the Central Plains.
But, just like a crowd, another character appeared among the Sha Rong people. This alone shows his courage to cut off his bones and disguise himself, and to go into the Central Plains in person.
"Outside the grassland, many envoys came and worshiped Hao Lianzhan as their co-master."
"Do you know who he is?"
Huang Daochun thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know clearly."
Looking at Huang Daochun's tone, it didn't sound like he was lying. Xu Mu felt even more agitated for a moment.
“King Shu, I have already said everything I should say——”
"Master Huang said it well." Xu Mu nodded, "It's better to lock him up... stay in the city gate for a few days, and then entrust him with important tasks."
Being entrusted with a heavy responsibility... is nothing more than being a coolie to open up wasteland. Of course, Xu Mu still needs to consider many things in the north, and it is not yet time to exile Huang Daochun.
No doubt that he was there, Huang Daochun looked pleasantly surprised. He bowed to Xu Mu several times, then turned around and bowed to Dongfang Jing. There was clearly a hint of "helpful words" in his expectant expression. A few words" means.
"Master Huang, please go back first."
"King Shu... take leave."
Xu Mu nodded. Putting aside the information about Hao Lianzhan for the time being, there was another equally important thing before him.
After Huang Daochun left, Yin Hu quickly approached and took out a letter from his arms.
"My lord, this is a letter written by General Li Zhengbei. Please give it to your lord."
After taking the letter, Xu Mu sighed. After many opportunities, General Li in the grassland did not surrender to Xi Shu.
For example, if Beidi is destroyed this time, where will General Li go?
"The people sent out took the Lord's letter with them. After finding General Li, they also tried hard to persuade him. But General Li was unwilling to return to the Central Plains. General Li said that although Beidi was destroyed, Sha Rong was still powerful, so he I have already thought of a way to take my mute wife from the grassland and become a horse breeder for the Sha Rong tribe."
"He also said that he would wait for the lord over there. If one day the lord leads an army into the grassland, he will give him a generous gift."
Xu Mu lowered his head and slowly opened the letter in his hand.
The content of the letter is not much different from what Yin Hu said. Only later, the weakness of the Sha Rong people and the current situation of the Central Plains were mentioned.
As for the war between Western Shu and Beiyu, he didn’t mention much about it. He only said a few words, “The person chosen by Lord Yuan is naturally the right one.” Fight for peace for the people."
When Xu Mu read the last sentence of the letter, his heart was shocked and his eyes suddenly became moist.
"My brother, before Di Rong is destroyed, my father will ask you to take care of him."
