"The horse is flat and the dust is flying, the sunset of the long river is accompanied by cattle and sheep, and the steep song looks back, only to see the sky is yellow!"

On the reckless desert, the afterglow of the sunset reflects the golden color of the heaven and the earth, looking at it from afar, a long river hovers like a dragon, crossing the limit of the field of vision, the cattle and sheep on the bank of the river are leisurely eating aquatic plants, enjoying the beauty of the sunset.

A group of people riding war horses, slowly hurrying, in the sound of the horse's hooves of "De'er, De'er", dust and sand flying, occasionally accompanied by singing from time to time in the distance, poetic and picturesque.

When the chanting voice fell, a hearty laugh rang out: "Boss, whose poem are you reading?" ”

The first man, the one who had just sung the hymn, had a bruise on his forehead, and his good mood was ruined by the discordant voice.

"Zhou Zhi, please pay attention to your words, although this poem is just a graffiti work, not elegant, but remember, I wrote it myself, and it is all original! It's original! ”

"Oh!" Zhou Zhi responded, but the words that followed were so angry that Wang Xu vomited blood. "No wonder, no wonder, I said whose poems would be so tasteless!"

"I'll kill you!"

"How to drop! If you write badly, you can't say it? ”

"How can you tell it's rotten? I'm modest, do you understand? ”

"Oh!" Zhou Zhimu replied expressionlessly, and then showed a blank look. "But, even if you're not modest, it's still rotten!"

"Zhou Zhi, you stop for me, I promise not to deform you!"

"Damn! You really don't have a taste, you don't have a poem, and you don't have a person. If you can't say it, just do it. We must convince people with virtue. Convince people with virtue! ”

As he spoke, the two galloped and chased in a frenzied circle.

Looking at the two of them from afar going crazy to the sky, they couldn't help sighing, as if they were heartbroken.

"Alas! How many times have you said that if a man wants to be elegant and a gentleman, why can't he listen to it? I want to be dashing to the sky and have an outstanding temperament. How did you meet these two people who don't know what to say? Especially knowing a shameless and obscene person like Zhou Zhi is really a regret in life, sad! Alas! ”

When Zhou Zhi, who was running in circles, heard this, he was so angry on the spot that he scolded: "Xiangtian, I sigh that you two big-eared scrapers, you villain, hypocrite!"

"Thanks for the compliment!" Xiang Tian is much calmer, leisurely riding the horse slowly, his face does not change.

The three of them just went crazy and messed around. In the afterglow of the setting sun, walk into the depths of the desert......

Night. The three of them sat around the campfire, roasting game, drinking spirits, and enjoying the desert scenery.

But in fact, some people don't think so, and Xiang Tian is very dissatisfied.

"Boss, I just don't understand, what are you doing in this northwest desert with me and this thing next to you?"

When Zhou Zhi heard this, his eyes were round in an instant, but unfortunately he was gnawing a large piece of meat in his mouth, and he spoke very unfavorably, and he didn't know which Chinese language he spoke.

"Xiang Qian! Do you want to give me another book? ”

Obviously, this guy Xiang Tian understood, rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of book?" Swallow the meat and then speak, the spit splashes, disgusting to the dead! ”

"Okay, you're ruthless!" Zhou Zhi rarely lowered his head and just gnawed.

Xiang Tian ignored him and turned around: "Boss, you haven't answered me yet!" ”

Wang Xu kept a faint smile, his eyes were fixed on the barbecue, and when he saw his questioning, he just said casually: "Although the Chu State is now fighting strictly, after combing, it is finally within a controllable range, I can't show up in front of people now, and it doesn't play a big role, since the two of you are yelling all day long, then come out and relax!" ”

"It's not like you're running this far, is it? For so many days, day and night, people are almost tired to death! Xiang Tian complained.

"Aren't you dead yet?" Wang Xu laughed and teased.

Zhou Zhi nodded again and again, and then took over: "Boss, what's the use of you talking to a fool like Xiang Tian?" Pigs are dressed in human skin, and they are still pigs after all! ”

"You unknown animal, don't you know very well?" Turning his lips back to the sky.

It seemed that he had expected him to say this, and Zhou Zhi spoke up decisively: "Nonsense, is this situation unclear?" After this year's autumn harvest, Ma Teng will definitely give Han Sui a fatal blow, and Xiliang will be the world of the Ma family in the future. Since he has nothing to do, the boss came here to see the situation in Xiliang in person and make some preparations for the next plan, Xiliang is very special after all. ”

In fact, Xiang Tian really doesn't understand military affairs, so he naturally can't think of such a level, but he was slapped in the face so directly, and he didn't have any different colors, which shows the thickness of his face.

Wang Xu originally felt that there was no need to say it, but Zhou Zhi said it, it didn't matter, and immediately took over: "Yes, the current situation seems that Xiliang will soon become an uncertain factor, and after the whole line is settled, the next step must be to advance into the three auxiliaries." Only with Xiliang as the foundation, and the big granary of Yongzhou Sanfu as the support, and then according to the Xiongguan to guard, can it become a trend. ”

"Alas!" Zhou Zhi sighed: "Actually, I didn't figure it out, why did Gao Gan descend in such a short period of time?" Otherwise, it is entirely possible to try to induce Ma Teng to seize the state. ”

Wang Xu smiled and shook his head: "In fact, after the defeat of the Nanyang army, the surrender of Gao Gan is inevitable, and his people should have wanted to follow the example of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, swinging between the two great powers, so as to seek their own survival and development, become a country of their own, and be a soil emperor." ”

"The premise of this situation is that the world gradually balances, so earlier he tried his best to rely on us to fight Cao Cao. However, the defeat of Nanyang, and the current situation of the Chu State, he knew that it was difficult to resist the Cao army alone, so he would naturally surrender. ”

"What's more, the most important thing is that you don't know Hedong Taishou Guo Yuan, although he is a subordinate of a senior cadre, but the two of them have the same power, both of them are Yuan Shao's old department, and Guo Yuan also has an identity, you must not know, he is the nephew of Zhong Xuan, a heavy minister under Cao Cao, the situation has come to this point, Guo Yuan has no greater interests to be profitable, it will definitely fall, and it is difficult for Gao Yuan to support alone, and there is no choice."

"In short, these two people have no ambition and limited ability, but they are sitting in a critical place, and it is only a matter of time before they surrender or are killed!"

Zhou Zhi realized: "No wonder, no wonder, I didn't expect Guo Yuan to be Zhong Xuan's nephew." Then a qiē makes sense. It seems that I will need to inquire into the personal relationship of my opponent in the future. It's just that. In the future, can we create an opportunity to force Ma Teng to join forces with us and attack the annexed states? ”

"Yes, but it's hard!"

"This is also true, for Ma Teng, it is not easy to fight Cao Cao or Chu State, but compared to merging states, it can obtain the benefits that can be obtained from the big granary of Yongzhou Sanfu. Obviously, it is much bigger, the first Qin has the land in the middle of the pass, according to the Xiongguan to defend it, and to achieve a great cause, Ma Teng will not be unaware, and the chance of beating us is indeed greater. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled, looked at Zhou Zhi, who was frowning and thinking hard, and said, "You, you know everything, but you lack rigor." If you could take more time to understand the seemingly unrelated information outside of the battlefield. It will make the enemy even more afraid! ”

"Forget it! Let me look at the mountains of information all day long, I'll go crazy! ”

"Huh! Zhuge Liang hopes that the more information he heaps, the better, you hope that there is no best, he is cautious by nature, you are cunning, you are a perfect match! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi instantly showed a look of horror: "Don't! I don't want to work with Zhuge Liang, he can talk to me to death! ”

When Zhuge Liang was still in Xiangyang, Zhou Zhi was very longing for him, and he visited him every day and begged him to make some suggestions.

But it only lasted for three days, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go again.

Because every time he passed, Zhuge Liang would ask a lot of questions, and most importantly, he would find a lot of information and intelligence to show him, and persuade him to write them down.

For Zhou Zhi, this is equivalent to memorizing a book from the sky, seeing the books piled up in the mountains, not to mention memorizing, it is painful to read it again.

Wang Xu also felt a little tired at this time, so he didn't want to say more, so he lay down on the ground and waved his hand: "Okay, go to bed early!" I'm going to be on my way tomorrow morning! ”

"Got it...... Kindness? Xiangtian, that's my quilt! ”

"Keep chatting! The temperature difference in the desert is large, the weather is cold at night, and a thin quilt is too thin! ”

"Damn! Bring! ”

"Squeeze into sleep, bastard!"

"Whoever wants to squeeze with you, bring it!"

"No!"

"Bring it!"

"Don't take it!"

"It's torn, I'm fighting with you!"

Both of them grabbed the quilt and didn't let go, but unconsciously, one grabbed half of it and fell asleep, and no one covered it......

In the next few days, the three of them rode war horses and gradually went deep into the interior of Xiliang, except for Xiangtian, Zhou Zhi and Wang Xu changed their appearance, because their appearance, some people still know, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it is carefully made by a certain force, or Xiliang Wenwu finds it and sees, the consequences are unimaginable.

As he went deeper, Wang Xu felt a lot.

Compared with when he traveled, Xiliang today has undergone earth-shaking changes, except for the decrease in population density, everything else is improving.

All kinds of more advanced tools are used on a large scale, the technology has been significantly improved, and the productivity is not the same as twenty years ago, and even after observing too many places, Wang Xu has to admit that the various tools and technologies of Xiliang are definitely ahead of the Chu State, and even have seen the large and widespread use of coal in manufacturing.

As expected, these are of course brought by Ma Yi, which shows that he has also achieved outstanding results in the past 20 years.

On this day, Zhou Zhi suddenly saw someone playing with firecrackers, and it was not an ordinary firecracker, it was a powerful one, and it even had a spraying effect, and he immediately pulled Wang Xu in horror.

"Boss, what do you see that pretty chick playing? So violent? That firecracker can hurt people remotely, and our Chu State is far behind! ”

Xiang Tian turned his head to look at it, and was even more shocked: "How does that look like a sudden musket that only appeared in the Song Dynasty?" ”

"What assault rifle?"

This time, not only Zhou Zhi, but even Wang Xu was shocked.

"The assault musket is a primitive method of using gunpowder, which can be understood as a primitive musket, which was only available in the Song Dynasty, but the power is not much, the cost is very high, and it is not very useful in the cold weapon war, compared to the practicality of the bow and crossbow, it is far from being eye-catching, and it is occasionally bright, but the power of the assault musket in front of me seems to be inferior to the Song Dynasty, and it is very immature."

Zhou Zhi suddenly rolled his eyes: "Since it's useless, what are you doing so excited!" Besides, you speak as if you had seen the power of the assault rifle. ”

"Of course I did! But it shouldn't be, among the people who come back, if anyone has a complete system of scientific and technological knowledge, all the techniques and theories related to those things will be naturally forgotten, and the memories have been intermittently deleted, and it is impossible to create such objects, what is going on? How can there be another person who can really make such an epoch-making technology in this era? Is it ......?"

Xiang Tianzui was fast, but as soon as he said it, he found that something was wrong, and hurriedly silenced him.

After a moment, he felt two gazes, staring straight at him.

"What did you just say? Please explain! ”

Zhou Zhi's eager question came, and his eyes froze...... (To be continued......)
