Chairman Mao taught us: The key to determining victory lies in the people, whether you are just, and whether you have the support of the people; However, this concept is too advanced, and Ma Yun decided to keep it for himself and not tell them.

"I see, it's supposed to be a soldier's weapon." Cao Jialang said.

Everyone's eyes quickly looked at Ma Yun, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ma Yun said in his heart: This kid is still a weaponist, if it is the era of hot weapons, then I really want to give you a thumbs up, but in the era of cold weapons, the role of weapons is often not the most critical.

Ma Yun shook his head and said: "The Green Forest Red Eyebrows Uprising, the Yellow Turban Uprising, when these people started, they were not holding wooden sticks and hoes, but they could sweep the world in an instant, and it can be seen that weapons do not play a key role. I'm asking about the key factors. ”

The kid asked curiously, "What is that?" ”

Ma Yun saw that everyone was looking at him, and earnestly hoped that he would give the correct answer. So, he ate another bite of food, paused and pretended to continue: "It is the economy, specifically whether the country's taxes are sufficient or not, whether the grain and grass are sufficient or not, whether the people have enough food to eat, and the sufficiency of money and food is another important factor in determining the war. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and the Cao family continued to ask: "So, what is another factor. ”

Ma Yun smiled, looked up at the sky, and said, "Come, let's eat, otherwise it will be cold." ”

At this moment, Cao Yun and Liao Renyong seemed to understand, and said: "Brother Ma, listen to your words, win a ten-year battle, come on, let's drink this cup." ”

The eldest man of the Cao family asked suspiciously: "Daddy, do you know what it is?" ”

Qian Qing also asked: "Childe, what is another factor?" ”

Liao Renyong smiled and said, "Childe, the last factor you mentioned is the way of heaven." ”

Haha, God, isn't it just luck, in the case that the first four aspects are very satisfied, you still defeated, it only means one thing, you are unlucky. However, Ma Yun still didn't want to say it, and after coming to ancient times, he found that everyone liked to play with some mystery, or something like to play with ideas. Heavenly Dao, this word is good, the flicker index can reach nine stars.

After they drank for a while, Ma Yun asked Cao Yun again: "Brother Cao, after moving south, you will be a general in Tang." ”

Cao Yun said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I originally planned to live in seclusion in the south, but after listening to the little brother's sentence "life attitude determines people's achievements", I changed my mind and really wanted to do a career in Tang Weijiang." ”

Ma Yun said casually: "Brother Cao, do you have an old friend in **?" ”

Cao Yun was a little drunk, shook her head and said: "Wuchang Festival makes Liu Renzhan have an old relationship with me, and I want to go to it." ”

Ma Yun was stunned, the name Liu Renzhan is very famous, when Chai Rong attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was he who defended Shouzhou alone for two years without reinforcements, and defeated Chai Rong's army many times.

Cao Yun saw Ma Yun**, and hurriedly asked, "Little brother, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

It was quite successful just now, but Cao's father and son's eyes on Ma Yun have changed, and they feel that Ma Yun is very talented, and when they see him hesitating, they naturally become worried.

Ma Yun looked at the appearance of Cao's father and son, and understood: As the saying goes, "handsome is played, fierce is played, and admiration is fooled", seeing that my face is wrong, they still think there is something wrong. Is there a problem? Of course there is a problem, Cao Yun is very fierce in fighting tigers, and it should be good to fight, what about the fierce generals who are training in Yuezhou, no matter how you say, I will send you to Yuezhou. As for arriving in Yuezhou, Li Xiang will never let you run away.

Ma Yun sighed and said emotionally: "Liu Renzhan is quite talented, and he will be promoted, and Brother Cao should be more than enough to be the commander of a state and county." However, Lord Tang is faint, and people like Liu Renzhan are just a listed Wuchang Festival envoy, in fact, it is a mere Wuchang assassin history, I am afraid that Brother Cao will retake the road of Lian Po in the future. ”

Cao Yun was silent for a long time and said, "Little brother, the wisdom of knowing people is really admirable." If I go to Wuchang, I'm afraid it will really be like what you said. ”

Looking at Cao Yun's lonely and unwilling eyes, Ma Yun smiled slightly: "With the talent of Brother Cao's father and son, there are so many roads in the world, why only focus on Tang." In the opinion of the younger brother, Chu Nai is the best place for Brother Cao. ”

The Cao family Lang scratched his head and said suspiciously: "Chu is barren, I'm afraid it's not a place for heroes." ”

Ma Yun stood up and said loudly: "Lie down and taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu; The cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all. Mencius said: Invincible foreign patients, the country will perish. Da Chu is precisely because of poverty, so the whole heart, day and night thinking is nothing more than to collect Pan Yu and break Li Tang, and is now recruiting people with lofty ideals in the world to participate in the grand event, isn't this an opportunity? ”

Cao Yun smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian's words are very good, but my father and son are suffering from not having many acquaintances in the Chu State, so I am afraid that there will be no way to cast it." ”

Ma Yun laughed and said, "Brother Cao, isn't the little brother a person from Da Chu." He lowered his voice and said: "The younger brother is very familiar with the history of the Yuezhou Assassin of the State of Chu and the five princes of the Great Chu. ”

After getting Cao Yun, Ma Yun let out a long breath. Ma Yun has made up his mind to surrender, but even if he wants to surrender, he must have some power, otherwise, the ghost will ignore you. Why don't you go and recruit Liu Renzhan? First, Ma Yun just wants to be a rich man and make his territory a little bigger, so that he can surrender in the future, but he has never thought of competing for world domination; Second, Liu Renzhan is not something that can be recruited casually, Liu Renzhan in history did not surrender to Chai Rong in such a harsh environment, and with Ma Yun, the fifth prince of Chu who has not yet become a climate, he can fool people into the past, and the possibility is too low; Third, Jack Ma doesn't want to change history, and after crossing over, one of the biggest advantages is to know the direction of future development. If one day, if you really can't get mixed up, you can still be a god stick, write something to push back pictures and the like, Ma Yun doesn't want to block this last retreat.

The next day, Ma Yun said goodbye to Cao's father and son, and gave him 200 taels of silver for travel expenses (after the interview, the first time he rushed to work from other places, he had to be reimbursed for the travel expenses, and Ma Yun still understood this truth).

Then, Ma Yun learned from Ma Guangliang's advanced and exemplary deeds, and sent Cao Yun to Fangcheng County, which moved Cao Yun to a mess. and then threatened to do business with him and not go to Chu to be an official, so Ma Yun immediately stopped continuing to see them off and invited them on the road. Before Cao Yun left, he also told him to pay attention to the person who blocked the road and asked for food.

Ma Yun was a little strange, after returning to the mountain temple, he carefully asked the person who was blocking the way to ask for food, his name was very ordinary, what was Li Er, who was neither a celebrity nor a beauty, so he ordered Qian Qing to give him a tael of silver and sent him away. Why is there such a big difference, because Cao Yun is a talent!

After passing Huangcheng Mountain, bypassing Ye County, we arrived in Xuzhou, and it took two more days to finally arrive at Xuzhou City, and hit a big inn. Xu is because of the chaos, there is not a single guest in the inn, and Ma Yun has a vacant room after 30 people live there.

It was close to Bianjing and close to the front line of the war, so Liao Renyong and Ma Yun discussed and planned to stay in Yanzhou City for one more day, investigate the situation of the war, and then set their way to it.

In Ma Yun's vague memory, he only knows that the Later Jin Dynasty perished not long after Shi Jingtang died, as for how it perished and how long it took to perish, but there was no impression at all. Although I have read the romance of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the book is too bullshit, and the second is that it is mainly written about the dispute between Liang and Tang, boasting that Wang Yanzhang is the last heads-up general in Chinese history, and he once fought the four dragons independently (that is, Li Cunqiao, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan, Guo Weige fought one of the four people, and finally relied on the super level of the four little dragons to break out the small universe, and with the super king eight qi of the four people, he finally killed Wang Yanzhang), and after the death of Liang, the book ended quickly, and there was no reference value. Hey, how nice it would be to go back to the Three Kingdoms.

Ma Yun sighed, no way, who let the five generations. I can only rely on the money to clear them and go out to inquire.

Not to mention, Qian Qing's investigation of the news was quite fast, and it took less than an hour to inquire clearly. Why so fast? Because he had just gone out, not long after walking along the street, he met a new group of refugees from Weizhou.

It turned out that Yelu Deguang, the Khitan lord, after gathering to conquer Xiangzhou and Weizhou, had a fierce battle with the Later Jin army in Liyang and Qicheng, which may be Shi Jingtang's character in heaven and moved the Later Jin soldiers. Yelu Deguang was annoyed and angry, and personally rushed to Qicheng to supervise the battle, and Shi Chonggui was not to be outdone and rushed to Qicheng to start the Double Dragon Society.

The decisive battle is about to break out.

Ma Yun and Liao Renyong looked at the map, and it was indeed a little closer to the front line. Liao Renyong said: "Childe, it's better for us to wait for the situation to be clear and make plans." It's a bit too risky to go to Bianjing now. ”

Ma Yun smiled slightly: "Brother Liao, don't be suspicious, in my opinion, I'm afraid the Khitan will lose this time." ”

Liao Renyong looked at Ma Yun suspiciously, and said in his heart: How can you see it.

Ma Yun sat on the chair, lightly tapped the table with his hand, and said in a low voice: "General Liao doesn't hear it, is it exhaustive if you are in one blow, two are declining, and three are exhausted?" The Khitans suddenly went south, even the important towns, and finally in front of the gate of Bianjing, they could not attack for a long time, which shows that their military strength has been exhausted and their morale is low; If he can quickly capture Bianjing, he can naturally deter the Quartet, once he can't attack for a long time, then the civil uprising will happen sooner or later, and the Great Jin Dynasty was indeed a little caught off guard at the beginning, but now the situation is stable, reinforcements from all sides have arrived, and Shi Chonggui has come to the battlefield in person, which greatly boosted morale, so I expect that the Khitan will be defeated, we will rest here for a day, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Ma Yun was discussing things with Liao Renyong in the hall, only to hear someone call at the door: "Guo Daguan, this inn is still open, why don't we stay here tonight." ”

Immediately afterwards, more than 10 people crowded into the inn, the first one was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a white face and a short beard, and a gray robe.
