Chapter 48: The Forces Behind the Scenes
Wealth is in one's own fiefdom, but it belongs to others.
Lin Fan felt as if a kitten had suddenly lived in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable scratching it.
However, reason also told Lin Fan that even the Qingzhou Festival envoy did not dare to provoke the forces, and if he went to provoke, he would seek death.
So I can only endure the discomfort of scratching my heart.
Asked Wu Yong: "Strategist, do you think that with the men and horses of our Qinglong Village, can we take down the three mountains by sneak attack?" ”
"With the wisdom and martial arts of the uncle, you don't need to sneak attack, you can take down three mountains directly with your troops."
Wu Yong first gave an affirmative answer.
Just when Lin Fan was puzzled, he suddenly changed his words: "It's just that after taking it, the forces behind them mobilized heavy troops, and we can't hold it." ”
"Do you know who's behind them?"
Lin Fan asked.
Wu Yong said: "The force behind Qingfeng Guan is Li Zier, the envoy of Xuzhou Jiedu, with 150,000 troops. ”
"The force behind Yunxian Temple is Xiao Jingfo, the envoy of Jingzhou Jiedu, who is said to be the reincarnation of the Buddha and has 130,000 soldiers."
"The force behind Huoling Mountain is Xuzhou Jiedu Zhushan, who claims to be the descendant of Huoshen Zhurong, founded the Huoshen Sect, and promoted the policy of integrating administration and religion in Xuzhou.
After Wu Yong finished speaking, Lin Fan wilted directly.
His entire population was not as large as his army.
What's more, his soldiers are all new soldiers, and both their physique and combat effectiveness will be much worse than those of these knots.
At the same time, he also understood why the Qingzhou Festival envoy had to compromise.
Why did the Qingzhou festival envoy dare not turn his face with the imperial court.
After all, now the soldiers under the command of the entire Qingzhou Festival are only eighty or ninety thousand.
And the surrounding knots make the soldiers and horses more than him, and he can protect himself.
If he commits a taboo and jumps out to resist the imperial court, he will give the surrounding Jiedu an excuse to send troops.
"Hey, it looks like we're going to have to give up the meat in our mouths for a while."
Lin Fan sighed, and suddenly thought of something.
From the system merit value store, he exchanged Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training", "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and the Northern Song Dynasty's "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", which are very detailed military books.
Of course, in addition to these three books, Lin Fan also exchanged for one, which is similar to the outline of the military book "The Art of War".
Lin Fan believed that with Sun Tzu's Art of War as a guide and three military books that told the details, Fang Qinghan's military talent would be improved by at least one notch.
"Little sister, these four soldiers and brothers found them from the No. 2 warehouse, you should study them carefully, I hope it will help you to march and set up your formation."
Fang Qinghan had no doubts about Lin Fan's words.
Because my father once said that Warehouse 2 is very mysterious and seems to be connected to another world.
Her brother got the war book from it, and that was normal.
"I'll see it too."
After Wu Yong saw the military book, his eyes began to glow.
Fang Qinghan didn't pay attention to Wu Yong at all, gave him a blank look, and said in his heart, do you want to eat fart!
This is the military book that my brother gave me.
After speaking, he trotted away with the book of soldiers.
This made Wu Yong depressed for a while.
Then he looked at Lin Fan pitifully: "Uncle, Wu's loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon, can you tell the eldest lady and let me also look at those military books?" ”
"Isn't it just a basic military book? Look at your pathetic look. ”
Lin Fan was also speechless.
I also spent some merit points to exchange for two war books.
However, this time Lin Fan exchanged for "Thirty-six Strategies" and "Sun Bin Art of War".
Lin Fan felt that with Wu Yong's talent, these two books would be of great benefit to him.
Seeing that he only had two pitiful books, Wu Yong was slightly disappointed in his heart.
But when he opened the thirty-six plan, after reading the catalog, the whole person suddenly became excited.
plopped and knelt in front of Lin Fan: "Thank you Uncle for the book." ”
"Alright, get up."
Lin Fan hurriedly helped Wu Yong up and scolded with a smile: "Go back to reading!" I'll go to the academy and have a look. ”
"Yes, uncle, I'll go back and see."
After Wu Yong finished speaking, he walked out of the righteous hall with the book.
Looking at Wu Yong, who was smirking and leaving, Lin Fan guessed that perhaps it was Wu Yong's studious spirit that made the system think that he had no upper limit and could grow all the time.
Lin Fan had mentioned to Li Fuan before, books on various disciplines.
It just so happened that he had merit points now, so he exchanged some of the most basic relevant study books and took them to the academy.
When I arrived at the school, I saw that the newly recruited talents who were good at arithmetic were arguing about the rights and wrongs of a topic.
Lin Fan listened to it for a long time, and it turned out to be a question similar to that of later generations, how many feet and how many heads.
For Lin Fan, a science student, this kind of topic is pediatrics in his opinion.
Such a simple kick, they are all arguing like this, it seems that the arithmetic level of this big week is indeed a bit weak.
Push open the door to the room where Li Fu'an was.
I saw him drinking tea and reading a book of nine chapters of arithmetic.
This made Lin Fan obviously stunned.
He asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, it's really different, drinking a little tea, not reading poetry and songs, but reading nine chapters of arithmetic." ”
Hearing Lin Fan's voice, Li Fuan was excited and stood up from the stool,
He saluted Lin Fan and said, "Uncle is coming, Li has missed the distance, please forgive me." ”
"Mr. Li, you don't have to be polite with me."
Lin Fan smiled and supported Li Fuan, who was saluting.
Li Fuan replied to Lin Fan's question: "It's not that Li doesn't like poetry and songs, but the talents in the school today, the arithmetic questions and answers are different, I think it's a bit misleading, so I want to study hard, find out the unified answer, and teach those children." ”
"I see."
Lin Fan pretended to be abrupt, put the books in his hand on the table and said, "Mr. Li, these books contain arithmetic knowledge, you talents can study them carefully, and then teach those children." ”
As for some special symbols, Lin Fan didn't tell them what to read, but let them study them by themselves.
Lin Fan believes that with their wisdom, when they master the wisdom of knocking on the door, they will definitely be able to give these symbols a new name.
Sure enough, Li Fuan took a book and indulged in it.
Seeing that he was fascinated, Lin Fan walked over and looked at the cover.
It is a geography of the world compiled systematically based on this continent.
Among them are not only the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also other dynasties and continents in the world.
Of course, the whole continent is a ball, and it is clearly documented.
What made Lin Fan curious was that Li Fuan did not question the suspicion that the mainland was the ball in the book.
So he asked curiously: "Mr. Li, don't you doubt that what the book says about the mainland is a ball, is it wrong?" ”
