Chapter 6: Hehe, what a coincidence
Da-da-da-da
With the sound of bright and clear horses' hooves, hundreds of cavalry appeared one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info hundreds of people, all dressed in armor and wearing helmets. From a distance, it is still very imposing.
"Yes, the terrain is good. Exactly in high places. It is also surrounded by plains, and it is easy to get water. It's not easy to be ambushed, so let's set up camp here today. Looking at the surrounding terrain, Lin Yang ordered.
For so many days, although Lin Yang has not learned any peerless art of war, he has gained a lot of insight in basic marching.
For example, in this camp, the first thing is to be safe, and if it can be easy to defend and difficult to attack, then it is even better. Secondly, there is also the lack of distance from the water source, after all, the army is numerous, and the water source is often more important than food. Also, look at the surrounding terrain......
All kinds of knowledge are things that are not taught in military books, but they are very important.
In ancient times, this knowledge was monopolized by Jiangmen. This is also the reason why when the children of the generals go out on the expedition, they often have a large number of children.
"Map."
Soon, along with Lin Yang's order, a relatively abstract and rough map, like a primary school student's graffiti, appeared in front of Lin Yang.
There are no contour lines, no signs, just a few rudimentary lines. Under Guo Jia's explanation, Lin Yang finally figured out the meaning of these lines.
"Oh, you're saying we're now between those two lines. However, this map is too simple. Lin Yang pointed to two thin lines on the map, one long and one short, and suddenly realized.
"This map records the map of the entire Yangzhou, and in general, it is already the most exquisite. If it is sophisticated, it can only be a spell map used by the imperial court. β
"Furthermore, the map is an important secret of the state, and the ability to have such a map is already based on the identity of the national prince. Otherwise, it will only be rougher. Looking at Lin Yang, who suddenly came to his senses, Guo Jia was a little puzzled.
This lord of his own, sometimes very shrewd, is often able to see through the essence of things, in a word. But sometimes, like a fool, he doesn't know anything, and often asks some very childish questions.
I really don't know whether to say that he is smart or naΓ―ve. However, there is one thing that Lin Yang has done well, that is, he dares to delegate power. Therefore, all in all, Guo Jia is still very satisfied with this somewhat unobtrusive lord.
"This is near He, Feichengsai, and after here, it is the Lujiang River. When the time comes, you can take a boat to Koto. With such a close distance, it is estimated that it will take half a month to cross the river and reach Jiangdong. Guo Jia explained.
Hearing this, Lin Yang took out his finger and directly compared it on the map.
"Well, yes, looking at the map, it is estimated that there will be five or six days before you can reach Lujiang County. Then, crossing the river from there is almost the shortest distance by water. β
No, on the map, that's the width of a finger. Half a month, that's about the same.
"Fengxiao, what do you think of the terrain here?" Lin Yang suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Guo Jia knew that his lord must have had another whim, and he didn't know what he had come up with. Then, after thinking about it for a while, he replied, "Overall, the terrain here is still very good. You can build a city fortress, and then defend it according to the city fortress, only one elite soldier, a capable general, can directly resist tens of thousands, or even 100,000 troops. β
Then, Guo Jia glanced at Lin Yang very meaningfully. Whether this lord was unintentional or intentional. It's fine if it's unintentional, but if it's intentional, it's scary to think about.
Isn't it, Zhang Liao, one of the five good generals in history, was once here, and Sun Quan, who was beaten, couldn't take care of himself. 100,000 troops, all of them rushed into the streets. It can be said that after holding this place, there will be no **** time in Jiangdong.
Of course, if you take the waterway after occupying Jiangdong and attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou, you can also do it. In that case, a professional navy is needed, not a naval army.
The difficulty of the navy is much more difficult than that of the navy. It's not just the cost, it's much more difficult in every way. However, no matter how difficult it is, Lin Yang also wants to develop the navy.
Otherwise, no matter how well Lin Yang developed in Jiangdong, even if he succeeded in unifying Jiangdong when the princes competed for hegemony in the future, the imperial court only needed to send a good general and an elite army to guard this place, and it could delay Lin Yang for a long, long time.
"Well, the current map is too rough. After the fiefdom has developed slightly, it is necessary to train a group of map-drawing talents. Lin Yang glanced at Guo Jia, who was thoughtful, and suddenly said.
"By the way, I'm about to arrive at the Lu family, Fengxiao, you can prepare a gift first. Send a prayer post in advance, and you can't lose the courtesy. Lin Yang diverted the topic.
Hearing this, Guo Jia frowned and said, "Lord, it seems that something has happened to the Lu family now." In recent days, he has been recruiting rangers and Taoists from all walks of life, and calling on many heroes. At this time, I'm afraid that things will change. β
"When did this happen?" Lin Yang asked.
"Two months ago, fifty-seven days ago, to be exact." Guo Jia said solemnly.
"Hehe, two months ago, at that time, didn't we just pass through a fork in the road and decided to take the land route. It's too much of a coincidence. Lin Yang sneered.
There are times in this world where there are many coincidences. But more often than not, coincidences are nothing more than artificial. You must know that above your head, this black calamity that permeates to the extreme, is almost impossible to suppress now.
Once it can't be suppressed, it's time to deal with it. When the time comes, maybe you can only flee directly to the land of reincarnation to avoid everything.
However, in this way, safety is guaranteed, but what about people's hearts? If you run away when you encounter difficulties, who wants to mess with you?
"Can we get around it, then? That is, what about not visiting the Lu family and going directly to Jiangdong? Lin Yang asked.
"Well, I'm afraid not. In the entire land of the Lujiang River, the vast majority of the ships traveling to and from Jiangdong are controlled by the Lu family. The rest, it's all boats. It's not safe, and it takes much longer. With the addition of our numbers, we may not all be able to reach Jiangdong within three months. Guo Jia shook his head and said.
"Besides, the enemies that the Lu family deals with are also above the sea. When the time comes, the nearby waters will no longer be safe. β
This thing is obviously weird. It seems that someone doesn't want Lin Yang to cross the river, but who is it? If you think about the fact that the development of Jiangdong has always failed in the past dynasties, it is worth thinking about.
Things are really getting more and more interesting, and then looking at the black calamity that was covered with dark clouds above his head, Lin Yang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's go to the Lu family first." β
