Fa Zheng's doubts were also completely dispelled after seeing the map that Cao Shuo took out.

He didn't expect that Cao Shuo had even sent someone to do the map of Nanban.

Yizhou is adjacent to Nanban, and it is often harassed, so I didn't expect to send people to infiltrate Nanban to find out the terrain.

To march and fight, one is to rely on the people and people.

The Nanban is a barbarian, and the people there will definitely not support the Wei army, and it is absolutely impossible to expect peace.

Without people, if you want to win the war, you have to grasp the location and time.

The weather is cloudy and changeable, and when there is no weather forecast, no one knows whether tomorrow will be sunny or cloudy.

Factors that are not easy to grasp can only be set aside for the time being.

What can really supply Cao Shuo to rely on is the geographical advantage.

The Southern Barbarians grew up in the mountains and forests, and they knew how to hunt wild beasts since they were young, and they were all too familiar with the mountains and forests.

With a black eye, he led the army into the Southern Barbarian Realm, and most of the results of waiting for the army were only annihilation.

Cao Shuo had the map drawn first, and he also sent Huo Wu to explore the specific road according to the map.

When the army entered the Southern Barbarian Realm, as long as there was Fire Dance to lead the way, it was impossible for them to get lost in the mountains and forests.

There is only one problem in front of them, and that is the miasma in the mountains and forests.

Miasma is poisonous, and once encountered, it is most likely to be dead or alive.

After looking at the map and knowing that Cao Shuo would arrange for Huo Wu to lead the way, Fa Zheng said: "Lord, with the map, it is indeed much smoother to enter the Southern Barbarian Realm, but the miasma in the mountains and forests still needs to be paid attention to. ”

"I know." Cao Shuo replied: "The jungle in the south is not only complicated and easy to get lost, but the miasma in the forest is also a headache. It's like the desert in the north, and it's scorched yellow as far as the eye can see. Get into it and get lost quickly. Even if you have a map, it's not very useful. ”

He looked back at Deng Zhan: "General Deng, did Sinan bring it?" ”

Deng Zhan replied: "When the lord came, he did bring a Sinan, so I'll go get it." ”

Cao Shuo said Sinan, and Fa Zheng, Lu Xun, and Jiang Wei were even more puzzled.

They had never heard of the name, and they didn't know what the so-called Sinan was.

"Do you know the battle of Xuanyuan Chiyou?" Cao Shuo suddenly asked the servants.

"Xuanyuan is an ancestor of Huaxia, of course he has heard of it." Lu Xun said: "Back then, Emperor Wu once ordered Taishi Gong to write historical records, the first of which was the Five Emperors' Benji, the first of which was Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. ”

"Xuanyuan Chiyou fights, and it is said that Chiyou uses witchcraft to summon the fog." Cao Shuo said: "In order to be able to find out the road, Xuanyuan made a guide car. It was with the help of the guide car that they quickly broke out of the dense fog and fought a decisive battle with Chiyou. The Sinan I am talking about is actually a guide car, but it is just a plate, not a car. ”

I've just heard of such a thing as a guide car, but I've never seen it with my own eyes, and everyone looks at each other.

"The lord is actually the legendary guide car has also been built?" Fa Zheng asked in disbelief.

"There's nothing unusual about building a guide car, but it's just a magnetic field." Cao Shuo said: "There is a kind of thing in the world called magnet, which is divided into north and south poles. The two poles are like yin and yang, yin and yang attract each other, south to north, north to south, no matter how it shakes, it will not change direction. The guide car borrowed this principle. ”

didn't see Sinan, what Cao Shuo said could only be reflected in the minds of the servants at most.

They didn't speculate for too long, and soon Deng Zhan sent Sinan over.

The so-called Sinan is a plate.

The edge of the plate is marked with a scale, on which there is a straight hand like chopsticks.

The hands are painted in red and white, and are connected to the plate by a support point.

Sinan put it on the table, and the pointer shook a few times, the red pointed south, and the white pointed north.

"You can shake it as much as you want." Cao Shuo said to Fa Zheng and the others: "Look where it points in the end." ”

Fa Zheng responded, and tried to reach out and dial the pointer.

The hands spun rapidly, and when he slowed down, everyone looked up at Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of confidence.

I didn't see anything on his face, and Fa Zheng and the others lowered their heads again.

The pointer slowly stopped, and finally pointed in the same direction as before.

"Lord, this ......" Although Cao Shuo had explained, seeing this scene, the servants were still stunned.

"You can try again." Cao Shuo smiled and motioned for them to try again.

Lu Xun and Jiang Wei each tried it again, and the result was the same every time, the red pointer pointed to the south, and the white pointed to the north.

"With this kind of thing, will we get lost in the jungle of the Southern Barbarians?" Cao Shuo asked the servants with a smile.

"No!" Fa Zheng replied: "The lord has so many exquisite things, not only the weapons used in the army are unheard of, but even Sinan, who pointed out the direction, is really surprising and enviable!" ”

"Don't tell outsiders about these things." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "In the future, we will conquer foreign races, and we will have to rely on these to achieve great things. There is only one thing you need to know, and that is that new types of ordnance will only become more and more in our army. The conquest of foreign races is different from the cannibalism of the Central Plains, and the smaller their number, the more beneficial it is to us Central Plains people. When the war with the alien races starts, I will invest more new weapons until they are defeated until the dead race is wiped out and completely integrated with our Central Plains people! ”

"The ambition of the lord lies in the future generations." The servants stood up and bowed together to Cao Shuo: "We are willing to follow to the death!" ”

"In the early years, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, in order to crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, handed over the states to the local heroes. Cao Shuo said: "Since I have been in power, there is no state pastor in the world. Now that Xiaozhi has helped me get Yizhou, I plan to seal Xiaozhi as the assassin of Yizhou, and wait until the Nanban is pacified, and then go to my side as an official, I don't know if Xiaozhi is willing or not? ”

Under Liu Zhang, it was just a county order, and if he served Liu Bei, he was given a county guard.

Cao Shuo asked him to be the assassin of Yizhou, how could Fa Zheng be unwilling.

He hurriedly replied: "How can I be virtuous, I can actually worship the post of assassin, the lord's reward, I remember it in my heart!" ”

"Assassination is not your ultimate official position." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said, "With your ability, just being in charge of Yizhou, I think it's also wronged." When I pacify Nanban and take you with me, it's not impossible to be a third prince! ”

The three princes are extremely popular ministers, Cao Shuo actually promised him such a high position, and Fa Zheng was even more grateful in his heart.

He said to Cao Shuo: "The lord treats me like a mountain, no matter where he wants me to go, I will have no complaints!" ”
