Outside the city of Suzhou, on the banks of the ancient canal.

One person, one pole and one coat, Zhao Gao sat leisurely on the grass, leaning on the withered of an old tree, squinting at the float made of goose feathers in the river, patiently waiting for the little fish to take the bait.

At this time, it is the season of mulberry ripening, a large number of purple-red mulberries fall into the water, and there are many duckweeds on the surface of the river, and the fish are not short of food. What's more, Zhao Gao's bait is just an earthworm dug from the grass casually, and it is not very attractive to the fish, so it takes a long time for the fish to move gently, and it is only because of the occasional touch of the fish's play. Zhao Gao didn't care, just holding on to half a dry grass stem, and fiddling with the sand table next to him for a while.

This is a topographical map of the entire Suzhou battle situation, which is very detailed in detail, and even the deployment of the forces of both sides is very careful, but it is very vague in its border part, and it is obvious that there is a strong force of rules affecting it and preventing it from continuing to expand outward.

"A+ level strategic props - battlefield control map. It's a good thing, and it's not too much to say it's an artifact of the lords' pioneers. ”

A gentle voice came from not far away, followed by a middle-aged man, dressed in Confucian costume, holding half a book in his hand.

Zhao Gao didn't look up, just at this moment, the pattern on the battle map changed slightly, and there was an exchange of personnel near the Panmen of Suzhou City. In the case of mutual damage, the outer gate of the Panmen was planted with a flag representing the Qing army, but the Taiping army did not retreat too much, leaning on the thicker inner gate, ready to launch a counterattack in the urn city between the two gates.

With the belief of victory on one side and the determination of death on the other, the battle between the two sides was white-hot from the beginning and deepened over time.

"Such a good thing, although the grade is only A+, it is not inferior to the S-level ones, and it even wins in the long run - how did you get it?" The man didn't get Zhao Gao's answer, and instead of anger and impatience between his eyebrows, he took two steps forward and got closer to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao casually spit out the grass stem, just floated violently, his wrist was slightly raised, and a straight force went down the fishing line, a fat crucian carp flew up in the air, and fell heavily on the grass, but he jumped up very unwillingly, as if he wanted to return to the familiar water.

"You're cheating!" The man in the Confucian shirt saw that the fish fell between him and Zhao Gao, froze for a moment, and then said angrily, "This fish didn't eat the hook at all, but just got curious and sniffed the earthworm, and it would be too shameless for you to forcibly pull it up like this, right?" ”

"It's also cause and effect when you smell it, it's the same!" Zhao Gao grinned, and then patiently put the fish into the fish basket without putting away the hook. From this point of view, the earthworm is simply a straight iron nail, and it has not even been bent.

The man choked suddenly, and seemed to have the heart to go forward and knock over the fish basket so that the innocent and poor little crucian carp could swim back to the river to understand the cause, but he hesitated for a moment and did not act.

Zhao Gao is right, since he has the heart to come here, that is, there is already a causal relationship, and no matter what he does later, he can't erase the intersection of this paragraph.

So he had to sigh and put his eyes on the sand table again, but he didn't speak anymore, as if he was patiently angry with Zhao Gao.

"This sand table is good, but the lag and consumption are large, and it is not as practical as you said for the average lord pioneer. The latter can also be slightly compensated for with the gains after the battle, and the former is a hard wound. Zhao Gao sighed and took the initiative to take the topic. Just now, he had already received the specific information of that battle through the team, and if it was in the military tent, he was afraid that the speed would be faster.

As for the high consumption, as long as this sand table is opened in the story world, it can no longer be turned off in any way, unless leaving this plot world is equivalent to the computer to restart and reread the data, otherwise it will consume the owner's points every moment.

Let's put it this way, the Xiaoyao Zhenren who lost his territory couldn't afford to raise it, and transferred it to Zhao Gao at an extremely cheap price, and then it disappeared is enough to explain everything.

Of course, this prop is not useless, just the comprehensiveness and data of the battlefield situation make it worth the price, and the middle-aged man's praise is not groundless.

"It's true that lag and consumption are mostly problems." The man nodded in agreement, then looked directly at Zhao Gao, and then asked, "Then why do you spend your already small amount of time in this place?" ”

Zhao Gao raised his head and glanced at this guy who was not familiar with his appearance. What the other party was talking about at this time was definitely not referring to the fishing in front of him, it was just a pastime and not worth his attention at all. What allowed him to come in person was Zhao Gao's seemingly meaningless actions again and again.

"Suzhou City is a historical city." Zhao Gao slowly stood up, his tone did not fluctuate, and said word by word, "Although the Taiping Army has a relatively short period of time, it has also occupied a lot of rules after all. At this time, Zeng Guofan, the head of the four heroes of the late Qing Dynasty, suppressed Tianjing in the Jiangnan camp, Li Hongzhang intimidated the six towns of Beiyang in Tianjin, Zuo Zongtang sat in Fujian Yaoling and was occupied by Dongyi, and Zhang Zhidong besieged Suzhou for a long time. ”

The Qing royal family once said that those who broke through Tianjing would be crowned kings. Although it was a promise made by the unscrupulous monarch of later generations and was shamelessly relied, the monarch of the Qing Dynasty at this time was Kangxi, and there was always a little bit of courage and responsibility.

Zeng Guofan's team of battle veterans of this level does not have the power to intervene for the time being, but compared with the king, the difficulty of sealing the marquis is much smaller. For the purpose of wooing, perhaps assisting Zhang Zhidong to break through the important city of Suzhou is enough to get this benefit.

It's not a name. For explorers, receiving the official reward of the empire is equivalent to getting a share of the fortune of the country, and the overall combat ability of the territory will be greatly improved.

Of course, this achievement is not easy for ordinary people. At this time, the two heroes Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng in the late Heavenly Kingdom were guarding the city of Suzhou, and the commanders were the last elites of the Heavenly Kingdom, and their combat effectiveness was very amazing.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. As soon as they landed on the battlefield, the old guy's team was sent to the front line, and Lao Ba and Mai Linglong used two sharp knives to stab into the tired defenders of Suzhou after a long time.

The round of confrontation on the map just now is the most direct presentation of the outcome of this battle.

Even if the battle is nearing its end, this most difficult bone still has to be fought hard.

From a general point of view, Zhao Gao's choice of timing at this time is simply perfect - the war will not consume too long, the opponent's strength is not too strong, and the harvest after the war will not be too small, even with Meng Buhou's newly acquired begging new army, he can also get the most critical growth opportunity on this battlefield.

The overall strength of the old guy's team will rise rapidly in a way that is visible to the naked eye.

There's no better way to grow up than by the rules.

"Even the eighth knows with his intuition that there is no possibility of going on like this!" The man did not give half a compliment to this perfect plan, but said mercilessly. At that moment just now, there was a new movement in the other corner of the map, and the left flank of Chen Yucheng's department shook the vanguard led by Lao Ba and attacked the rear army of Lao Ba from one flank, causing a large loss, and then Lao Ba had to return to help, and the little result he had just achieved was pulled back again.

This is the most common thing to do on the battlefield. The so-called decisive battle is a family saying, which battle is not after careful design and preparation and repeated trials, and finally gives a seemingly unexpected or not unexpected result?

"The rules of Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng are incompatible, and the defense of the entire Suzhou City has become two parts that are not related to each other over time, but they have to cooperate under the suppression of a strong enemy." Zhao Gao didn't seem to understand the man's words, pointed to the situation in Suzhou City in the sand table, and said confidently, "Lao Ba and Mai Linglong just took some time, and the result is that the victory will not change." ”

"Alas!" The man in the Confucian shirt let out a long sigh and slowly turned back. With his ability, he will never fail to understand the truth that you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, since Zhao Gao doesn't want to say more, then there is no point in him staying and continuing.

However, before his figure faded away, Zhao Gao suddenly pulled up the fish basket and smiled slyly, and said from afar, "What's the matter, you want to cooperate with me?" ”

PS: What, who can guess who the man is, tomorrow will be more soon.
