Pei Ji's mouth was chewing a cake wrapped in locust sauce and fried locusts,

Hurriedly picked up a cup of tea,

I swallowed the food in my mouth in one gulp,

He nodded and said:

The lord is right. Those of us who have a little spare money like this tune......"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh for a while,

Lu Bu continued:

"That's not all, in fact, I once heard a doctor say that this flying locust also has the effects of strengthening the spleen and eliminating food, relieving wind and spasms, relieving cough and asthma, and channeling. If it's propaganda, hey, hey, hey......"

Hearing Lu Bu's words,

Pei Ji, who is the most business-minded, immediately rolled his eyes,

The hands slapped each other violently and said:

"If that's the case, then we can really make a lot of money!"

Lu Bu and Pei Ji glanced at each other,

Immediately smug laughter,

His eyes were full of golden jewels.

"Lord, can such a good thing be mixed up with the lower officials?"

Yang Xiu stood up at this time,

Suddenly such a sentence was inserted.

Pei Ji hurriedly closed his mouth,

I just forgot that there were so many people here,

How good it would be to do this kind of business by yourself.

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed,

Suddenly a great idea came to mind,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Everyone, everyone, those who see it have a share. In this way, let's open a restaurant in Chang'an, this restaurant will be opened in the name of Pei Ji Pei Gongzi, and the actual owner of the restaurant is everyone present today. Each person put aside a portion of the money to fund the shares. Calculate the size of the shares according to the amount of personal investment, and calculate the dividends in the future according to the number of shares. I don't know if you have any objections? ”

Many people present don't know anything about business at all.

But after all, there are still Zhong Xuan, Yang Xiu, and Zang Hong, who are from the scholar clan.

Naturally, I immediately saw the benefits of this.

First of all, this matter is led by Lu Bu,

gathered the leaders of all aspects of Chang'an City,

All kinds of procedures, documents,

Including the security points on weekdays,

That's all the way open,

With such a background,

Let's not talk about the quality of the dishes and drinks in this restaurant.

Light this background,

will attract countless people to come and spend money,

This is a sure-going and money-making deal.

Whoever has no money in his hand,

Wouldn't that be foolish?

Everyone pondered the taste,

All of them nodded with bright eyes,

I can't wait to discuss this matter carefully,

"But ......"

Lu Bu opened his mouth at this time,

He glanced around at everyone present,

Spoken:

"This matter of opening a restaurant, our identities are really not suitable to stand up. So in order to avoid causing some unnecessary waves, I still recommend that you hide behind the scenes. Including Wen Heng, you'd better find someone to come forward for you, you just need to be in charge of remote command. ”

Then everyone nodded,

After looking at it, there should be nothing important to discuss,

Lu Bu ordered the people to retreat,

However, he sent someone to order Zhang Yan and Yang Xiu to stay secretly.

In a study,

Lu Bu sat behind a huge sand table,

This is a topographic map of the sand that is worthy of its name.

Although it still looks rough,

But it has been possible to roughly distinguish the terrain,

At the same time, it is also covered with various colored flags,

It seems to represent a different distribution of forces and forces.

Zhang Yan and Yang Xiu,

After entering the house one after another,

were all attracted by this scene in front of them,

After walking in and taking a closer look,

More and more I feel that this thing is infinitely useful,

Lu Bu took out a slender wooden pole of character,

Explained to both of them:

"It's called a sand table model. According to the topographic map or the field terrain explored, according to a certain scale relationship, the model is piled up with sediment, military flags and other materials. It can vividly display the topography of the combat area, and indicate the composition of the enemy's position, the deployment of troops, and the disposition of weapons. Generals can use it to study the terrain, enemy situation, and combat plans, organize coordinated actions, carry out tactical drills, study battle examples, and sum up combat experience. Of course, it can also be used in a wider range of aspects in the future. ”

Zhang Yan and Yang Xiu immediately understood the role of this sand table,

There was a look of surprise on his face,

Zhang Yan couldn't help but say:

"Lord, this is a good thing, but it looks much simpler than the topographic map of Narauszi, and in the future, we can take it with us at any time, wouldn't it be great."

"You foolish, think very simply, how can it be as easy as you say, the production of this sand table is extremely complex and difficult, first of all, you must actually grasp the real terrain, there can be no big discrepancies and omissions, and then you have to scale in accordance with the uniform proportion within this square tray box, there is a slight deviation, in the actual situation there is a gap of tens or even hundreds of miles. In addition, once this thing is made, it is extremely difficult to carry and transfer, otherwise it is very easy to be damaged, and once it is damaged, it needs to be remade. ”

Zhang Yan was dumbfounded,

I didn't expect such a simple thing to look like,

It's going to be so complicated,

Smash it, smash it, smash it, and say softly:

"Then isn't this thing a silver-like wax gun head, and it doesn't work."

Lu Bu was so angry that he picked up the wooden pole in his hand,

knocked on Zhang Yan's head:

"Damn, if it's useless at all, why am I bothering so much to make this thing?"

Yang Xiu carefully observed the sand table,

While speaking softly:

"General Zhang, although this item is not easy to carry with the army when leading the troops to fight on the front line, it can come in handy when the rear is strategizing."

Lu Bu nodded,

Only then did he proudly continue:

Dezu was right. This sand table is not suitable for discussing tactics when two armies are facing each other, but it is very suitable for discussing strategy. ”

After a pause, he pointed to a topographic map hanging behind him, and continued:

"And the biggest advantage of this sand table model is that it completely recreates the real terrain situation, which no amount of beautiful and detailed topographic maps can do. This can be used to do some specific deployment and simulation more intuitively and in detail. ”

Zhang Yan is not a fool either,

Under Lu Bu's explanation,

also figured out the function of this sand table model,

Stretched out his thumb to Lu Bu and said:

"Lord, I really admire you for being able to come up with such a subtle method!"

Lu Bu smiled proudly,

There is no embarrassment after the slightest plagiarism,

Mainly with the thickness of his cheek,

I have long been accustomed to this kind of plagiarism.

Yang Xiu carefully compared the topographic map on the wall and the sand table model on the desktop,

Suddenly asked:

"My lord, this is the terrain at the junction of Sizhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou?"

Lu Bu nodded,

These days, I said that I was developing new dishes with the chefs.

In fact, he was only in charge of coming up with ideas.

specific trials and discussions,

It's all done by the cooks.

Lu Bu's remaining time,

It's all spent on making this sand table model.

But there are no professional tools,

Second, there is no ready-made template to imitate.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Lu Bu to make.

And it took so long,

It's just a rough idea,

It's not fine at all.

But fortunately, it's not about discussing some detailed tactical layouts now.

Therefore, this rough sandbox model is also roughly sufficient.

Lu Bu lifted the slender wooden pole,

Explain to the two,

"The direction and position above are simulated according to the actual situation, this is Runan in Yuzhou, the place where the black chess is inserted here is Xu County, and this is Hongnong County in Sizhou......"

Lu Bu roughly explained the direction on the sand table,

The two listened very carefully.

"This locust plague is a crisis test, originally I thought that because of the occurrence of this locust plague, the original plan to attack Yuan Shu in the south would be cancelled. However, the information I got today is very bright, and it seems that even the heavens are favoring me. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xiu's mouth:

"Hehehe, those who have attained the Tao are very helpful. This time the locust plague allowed the lord to smoothly gather all the scholars together, and obtained a large amount of silver and grain, except for most of the relief of the victims, the remaining part was enough to support the army to go south. What's more, this locust plague, Yuan Shu of Runan is not comfortable, no matter whether his loss is serious or not, at least this perverse act provokes the anger of the heavens and people, and he Yuan Highway is solid. ”

"Hahaha, that's right! Exactly! So at this moment, it is the right time to go south to attack Yuan Shu. ”

Lu Bu pointed to the location of Hongnong County,

"Guo Jiabi also expected this, so he deliberately brought that paragraph, I estimate that he not only stabilized the situation in Hongnong, but I am afraid that a lot of nails have been planted in Runan."

"Oh? Does this Guo Fengxiao have this ability? ”

Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows,

Asked in disbelief.

Lu Bu smiled,

From Yang Xiu's words,

It's not hard to hear this kid's unconvinced,

And it's no wonder.

Yang Xiu's identity and family background are there,

Coupled with his own talent and intelligence,

has always been the pride of the sky,

Although he served Lu Bu,

But the rest of the people, except for Lu Bu,

He may have respect in his heart,

Maybe there will be closeness,

But it's definitely not admiration,

Even if Zhong Xuan's reputation is better than that of his father Yang Biao, even a great Confucian,

He can't talk about the slightest admiration,

You can imagine how extraordinary this kid's arrogance is.

For the first time today, I heard from Lu Bu's mouth,

Lu Bu evaluates a person with such a tone,

Although he didn't say anything of praise directly,

But that tone and attitude,

seems to be very convinced of this Guo Jia, who is only famous and has never met,

This made Yang Xiu curious about Guo Jia at the same time,

Inevitably, a competitive spirit arose in my heart.

Lu Bu naturally understood Yang Xiu's thoughts,

The corners of the mouth curled a touch,

With a chuckle, he said:

"This Guo Fengxiao deserves the four words of genius in heaven, in addition, there is Liu Ba and Liu Zichu, although these two people are young, they are both dragons and phoenixes in the world. Although you, Yang Dezu, are also very smart, but as far as I can see, compared to the two of them, tsk......"

Lu Bu shook his head,

did not continue to say what the result of Yang Xiu's comparison with the two of them was,

But that tone is nothing less than a statement,

In Lu Bu's mind,

Yang Xiu is still far inferior to these two people.

Although he knew that Lu Bu was deliberately provoking,

But Yang Xiu still had the idea of wanting to compare with these two people in his heart.

Even though it is very clear,

This is the result that Lu Bu is happy to see,

But for him,

This is also an impulse in his heart,

Now that you have this impulse,

will find a way to achieve it.

However, Yang Xiu didn't continue to say anything,

The real competition is not to win with some empty rhetoric,

Instead, it needs real merit and achievements to prove it.

Lu Bu noticed the firmness and fighting intent in Yang Xiu's eyes,

They are very happy with the results,

Nodding his head, he continued:

"Zhang Yan, you immediately give an order to Huang Zhong, ordering him to divide his troops into two routes, one is that he personally leads 5,000 men and horses, and at the same time secretly summons 10,000 people to Xinfeng County to help the local people exterminate the locust plague. In addition, let Wei Yan lead the remaining soldiers and horses to Zheng County secretly, ready to go south at any time. ”

Zhang Yan nodded hurriedly,

Motioned to write it down.

Yang Xiu's eyes froze,

Whispered:

"Lord, what about Wei Yan's ability?"

After all, Yang Xiu just joined Lu Bu,

is not familiar with Lu Bu's subordinates,

It is not difficult to guess from Lu Bu's layout just now,

He wanted to use this Wei Yan as a surprise army to go south,

But this strange soldier has high requirements for generals,

Whether it is the commander-in-chief who leads the troops in battle,

Or grasp the insight of the fighter,

These are all very necessary conditions,

None of them are competent,

It is even very possible to steal chickens and rice.

Lu Bu smiled confidently and said:

"Wei Wenchang is a general's talent, so he doesn't have to be loyal and inferior!"

As soon as Zhang Yan and Yang Xiu heard this,

are all complexions,

Especially Zhang Yan,

His fame is between the white waters of Montenegro,

It took several years,

With tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops and officers fighting,

It's a real deal.

However, that Wei Yan is just a Jingzhou general,

Although I have heard that the force is not bad,

But the ability to lead troops into battle has never been heard of.

Lu Bu's praise,

Immediately made Zhang Yan unconvinced by the boss in his heart.

In this regard, Lu Bu just smiled slightly,

And without much explanation,

Just said lightly,

"You will know in the future."

For Lu Bu's answer,

Though the two of them were suspicious,

But still nothing more.

Lu Bu suddenly remembered something,

Hurriedly said to Zhang Yan:

"That's right, dedication."

Zhang Yan still has some doubts about Fang Cai Lu Bu's words,

The urn replied angrily:

"In!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but wonder,

He opened his mouth and said:

"Among the dishes for locusts that I have developed before, there are several that are very suitable as supplements to military rations, and I have instructed the cooks to simplify and sort out the preparation methods. When the time comes, you can find some military men to study in my house, and you can save a lot of military rations and escort people. ”
