"What do you think?"

"Oh, it's fine."

"I've deliberately separated everyone else, is there anything you and I can't say?"

"It's really nothing, maybe I'm tired."

On the way, Lin Mo and Zhao Yun walked side by side.

Zhao Yun said that he was tired, and Lin Mo believed that he did not have the same sense of decisiveness as before.

But if it was because he was tired and lacked that spirit, of course Lin Mo didn't believe it, and after giving him a meaningful look, he shook his head with a smile.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Lin Mo could guess one or two.

In the north, in Xuzhou, the future will be in the whole world, I am afraid that there is nothing that I can't get.

If you can get it yourself, he Zhao Zilong can also get it.

If it is said, it should be the human heart.

"Went to the academy?"

The four words of the light wind made Zhao Yun pause, and his eyes looked at Lin Mo, who was one body ahead of him.

Then, he followed, smiling and nodding.

"So, she rejected you?" Lin Mo recalled that when they left Pengcheng, the two seemed to be just a hurried glance, but there was indeed a burning heat in each other's eyes at that time.

Later, I wasn't sure if Cai Yan sent Zhao Yun before the expedition, but even if there were, in the final analysis, it was just a two-sided relationship, so why did the love take deep roots.

I vaguely remember that the eldest husband only suffers from fame and fame, so why suffer from having no wife, but what you Changshan Zhao Zilong said.

Oh, man's mouth, deceitful ghost.

"What do you say, I just have admiration for her, and I don't talk about love at all."

Lin Mo didn't respond, but the corners of his mouth rose, obviously not believing, Zhao Yuncai further added: "Really no, we met yesterday, she just returned the letter I wrote to her in the past two years to me intact." ”

"Even the fire paint is still there." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.

"Ah, it turns out that the girl who is not liked by it, it is really sad, asking what is the situation in the world, and the straight man promises life and death." Lin Mo said as he walked.

It's just that the tone sounded like teasing, which made Zhao Yun frown.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I think you don't understand a woman's heart."

"I know that now that I have a meritorious career, I am not worthy of the celebrities of the Cai family in the end." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.

"Wow, it would be really miserable for her to hear you." Lin Mo stopped and looked around in surprise, as if he was afraid that Cai Yan would suddenly appear.

"Isn't it?" Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with a glint of light.

"Of course not, she has no feelings for you, she has already left Pengcheng, you should be a treasure, with her Cai family reputation, even if it has declined, where is there still a mouthful of food to eat, even if she goes to Cao Ying, Cao Cao will treat her well."

Zhao Yun remembered that Lin Mo had said that Cao Cao and Cai Yong had a teacher-student relationship, and it was reasonable to treat his daughter well.

However, he didn't think this was a reason, "Maybe it's thinking of you saving her from the sea of suffering." ”

"No, I once said that she helped me write down the more than 400 volumes of the Cai family's collection of books silently as a return to this favor, and whether she went or stayed was up to her.

If you want me to say, she thinks she doesn't deserve you, so she stays away. "There is light behind Lin Mo, incarnated as a love mentor.

"Not worthy of me?"

Zhao Yun sneered, "You're joking." ”

"Eh, you are arrogant, you are Zhao Zilong of Xiaoguan, you beheaded Xiahou on Taihang Mountain, and punished Xiahou under White Wolf Mountain, how radiant, is this what an ordinary woman dares to love?

What's more, she still has such an unbearable past. ”

After such an analysis, Zhao Yun finally showed an epiphany smile on his face, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's okay, this woman, like sand, you can't hold it strongly, but if you add a little water, you can let you shape it;

This man is like cement, add a little water, and he will be hard. ”

Zhao Yun looked at him with a confused expression, scratched his head and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Just spend more time with her."

Lin Mo raised his forehead and motioned to him not to stop, "Anyway, we still have some days to stay in Pengcheng, you can run diligently during this time, let her have a cold attitude, or persuade her with good words, you have to stick to it with a red heart to the end."

Prove it to her, you didn't do it on a whim.

If even you don't give her courage, then how can she believe that the future is really together, and can you bear the gossip of the world. ”

"Makes sense." Zhao Yun bowed his head silently, feeling enlightened.

"Okay, okay, you can't help when you go to the glass factory, let's go." Lin Mo waved his hand.

"That's not possible, you can't have no one around you to protect you."

"Hey, let's go."

Coming to Liulichang, everything has not changed about the scale here.

Whether it is a fertilizer factory or a sugar factory, it has expanded several times, but this glass factory is still the same as before.

It's not because Zhen Rong took up the history of Qingzhou Thorn that he left the business of the glaze factory, the main reason is that the glaze has been taking the high-end route, and the game is that things are scarce and expensive, and there is no need to expand.

However, these craftsmen are already very familiar with the production of glass, and it should not be difficult to make telescopes and sights, but the difficulty lies in the later correction.

The core of the telescope is the lens, whether it is a concave lens or a convex lens, it can be shaped according to the model, and then polished and polished after the finished product comes out, even if it is completed.

However, adjusting the focus factor of the objective lens and eyepiece can take a lot of time, and even if this concept is taught to these craftsmen, it will not be able to digest it for a while.

Anyway, the army will not be able to gather for a while and a half, and Lin Mo intends to personally end this work.

In fact, the telescope is still very easy to make, but its efficacy is limited, and it can only be used on scouts.

The most difficult thing was the scope, and Lin Mo didn't even have the confidence that he would be able to build it.

Because the two major sights of later generations, one is a red dot and the other is holographic, both use high-tech diodes or battery tubes, which are different from telescopes, which simply use physical principles.

However, the focusing function of the first sight only used a subtle reticle, and it was necessary to make it in this direction.

Anyway, when the final product came out, what was pursued was only the maximum distance of the six-stone crossbow of this era, which was about two hundred and fifty steps.

It sounds more than twice as far as the 100 paces of an archer, but the crossbow is not the mainstream in this era, and there are many reasons for this.

First, as a gentleman's six arts, the children of the bow and arrow family all play tricks, and even many folk hunters have the existence of marksmen, not to mention the people who have been skilled in bows and horses since childhood in the border areas.

And the crossbow is a thing, first of all, it was controlled by the imperial court, and it is too difficult to manufacture, and the battery life after shooting is far inferior to the bow and arrow, and it is not popular, and many people cannot shoot accurately.

Otherwise, how could the 200,000 Yuan army only pick so many hundreds of people to come out and form a camp first.

Bows and arrows are different, and it is likely that half of the recruits will be able to use them.

However, now that I want to play tricks with technology, I can always try it first, and then talk about it.

Although he decided to start climbing the technology tree, Lin Mo, who was able to cross the necessary gunpowder, had no idea for a long time.

There is a sentence in the mouth of later generations: one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, add some sugar Big Ivan.

This is almost a necessary artifact in the later generations, and Lin Mo, who was familiar with the online text before the crossing, certainly would not be unaware.

But there is a reason why this thing has not been developed for a long time.

First of all, if the gunpowder is out, he doesn't know how to make a lead, let alone a firearm to use, so it will eventually be reduced to a more powerful siege machine than the kerosene jar in the trebuchet.

In fact, in this era, saltpeter would be filled into the oil jar to increase the power, which was essentially a type of explosive.

In addition, the instability of gunpowder is also great, and during storage and transportation, it will detonate if you are not careful, and if you don't blow up the other party, you may even put yourself in it.

Therefore, if you want to develop it, you have to study how to get a lead first, Lin Mo really doesn't have any ideas for this thing.

Maybe you can try a thin wire soaked in kerosene.

Anyway, he didn't plan to deal with gunpowder until the problem of the lead was clarified.

Although, this is an artifact that will have to be made sooner or later, but now, he is indeed a little weak.

The journey from Anfeng to Shouchun is more than 400 miles, and Lu Su said that he will arrive in ten days, but in fact, he knows that he can't do it at all.

Twenty-five thousand troops, all but a thousand cavalry, are all foot soldiers, and it will be very difficult for you to travel fifty miles a day, unless you march all the way regardless of possible ambushes.

After all, in this era, even post roads were met with slow mountain roads.

In the process of marching, what worries Lu Su the most is the area of Menggu Mountain, which is not only the only way for the Lujiang River to enter Anfeng, but also the fastest passage to Shouchun.

At present, if you choose to take a detour, the Huainan army is afraid that it will not agree.

The only thing you can do is to send more scouts to explore the terrain, but there are too many places to ambush along the way, don't say that the cavalry is nervous now, you just give more scouts, and you can't explore them all.

At this time, the 25,000 army led by Lu Su was like a winding dragon, marching down Menggu Mountain.

Yan Liang opened the way in front and acted as a pioneer; Wen Chou and Lu Su sat in the Chinese army together.

Thundered~

On the hill, suddenly heard a movement, Yan Liang subconsciously shouted: "There is an ambush, be careful, avoid!" ”

The sound fell, and the soldiers didn't care that there was a riverbed on the right, so they jumped straight down, wanting to stay away from this plank road and avoid being shot by rolling stones, sassal trees and the upcoming rain of arrows.

At the same time, the sergeants in the rear also quickly ran to the nearest ordnance vehicle to take off their armor and hurriedly equip themselves.

But after waiting for a while, the sound got closer and closer, and it was indeed a team of stones and sassalwood rolling down, if it wasn't for the timely hiding, I don't know how many people were killed.

The imaginary rain of arrows did not fall, and when everyone looked at each other, Yan Liang sighed and scolded: "Damn, it's the fifth time, what do these thieves want to do!" ”

Yes.

This has happened five times.

Not all of them happened in the Menggu Mountain area.

The first time, it was through a depression called Ma Ming'ao, and suddenly saw a rain of arrows flying, and saw the wolf smoke billowing out, which scared the big guy enough, and hurriedly armed himself to prepare for the fight.

As a result, after a rain of arrows, everyone put on a posture but did not see Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

The second time, it was in a mountain col, the same routine, and only a few hundred arrows were shot, and the horn of the charge sounded, and after everyone hurriedly put on the armor, there were no Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

The third and fourth times were much the same.

And then there's the one in front of you.

In fact, when the movement came, many people felt that it was probably the same as before.

I think so, but you should wear armor and armor, this is a battlefield, a place where life and death are decided in an instant, who dares to gamble?

In case there is a real one of the ten vacations on the other side, wouldn't it be a tie-down?

However, every movement will put pressure on the tight strings of this army again, and this kind of psychological and physical torture is very testing.

At the same time, Yan Liang didn't dare to move rashly, so he had to send someone up the mountain to confirm whether there was an ambush in the end, and wait until the scouts came back to report his safety before he could continue to move forward.

Then the soldiers took off their armor again and put it back on the ordnance cart.

For long-distance marches, it is impossible to wear this kind of armor weighing dozens of pounds all the time, which is why the marching team is most afraid of being suddenly attacked.

It's the same as attacking the enemy camp at night.

Once the sergeant does not wear armor, he is at a disadvantage mentally, after all, this equipment can be stabbed.

"Sir, we can't go on like this, we won't be able to catch up with Shouchun in half a month if we come a few more times!" Wen Chou pulled up his collar and looked very anxious.

"General, I can't be careless, this seems to be delaying the speed of our march and buying time for them to conquer Shouchun, but if Sun Ce wanted to take Jiujiang, he should have done it a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until today."

Lu Su's eyes were still Gujing Wubo, looking at Meng Gushan in front of him, "He is here to wear down our patience and military strength, and it is likely that the next ambush will turn from false to true." ”

That being said.

But the tiredness in the eyes of the soldiers could not be hidden.

The days of rushing are tiring in themselves, and you have to face a sneak attack that can happen at any time, and you can't tell whether it's true or not.

After all, it only takes a few hundred people to create such a movement, and after completing the task, it can be withdrawn immediately, leaving you no trace at all.

No way, this is a loss of terrain.

However, as long as it is only more than 180 miles away from Shouchun after passing Menggu Mountain, it cannot be said that it is a flat river in the future, but there is not much place for them to ambush.

"Zhou Lang is really resourceful, first forced me to rescue Shouchun with Yang Mou, and now he uses this method to demolish the morale of our army." When he set off again, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh.

This trick is also quite ruthless.

The wisest thing to do now is to find an open place to rest and recuperate, and wait until you are refreshed before continuing your journey.

But the problem is that the more Jiangdong behaves like this, the more the Huainan army under his command feels that they are storming Shouchun and delaying their own time.

Several lieutenants had already come to ask for instructions to speed up their pace through this mountainous land, and they all decided that as long as they crossed this area, there would be no chance for them to set up an ambush.

Even, even Wen Chou thinks so.

At this time, the prestige in the army is very important, as the first time to lead the troops, Lu Su is still a little worse in terms of prestige, after all, not everyone has such an appeal as Lin Mo.

Therefore, even if you hang up the prison army, many times you can't follow your own ideas.

The problem of discord between generals and commanders is the most terrible crisis in the immediate battle.

Fortunately, along the way, although there were two such fake attacks, none of them were true.

The army finally passed through the range of Menggu Mountain, and in the future, there would be no such good place to ambush.

Lu Su even began to doubt his own judgment, could it be that he really guessed wrong, they were indeed slowing down their own march, and they actually put such a good section of the road without ambush.

"Forty miles to the east ahead, there is a small Guo, which I think has been occupied by Sun Ce, but I think it should be conquered first to prevent the Jiangdong soldiers and horses from hiding in it, and then suddenly attack from behind." Lu Su is still very steady.

"Sir, let's continue north. I know what Mr. is worried about, but there are still four counties along the way, and we can't conquer them one by one, so when we go to Shouchun, I'm afraid it's already spring. "This can't be blamed on Wen Chou's sudden change in temperament.

Just imagine, who is changed, and the patience of being tortured by Jiangdong soldiers and horses like this along the way has also been lost.

This will actually be a big guy who is tired, but he is full of bad breath, wanting to find the main force of Jiangdong on the battlefield and beat them hard.

Lu Su lowered his eyebrows and pondered.

If he could, he actually wanted to fight city by city, which would be much safer.

Because each city can eliminate a potential risk, and at the same time, it can also allow soldiers to enter the city to rest.

In the wilderness, many people have to be on guard every night, and the loss of military strength is very serious.

Let's just say that this way, which one is not a heavy black circle.

Now this team, not to mention the other party's sneak attack, is really a fight between the two sides, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.

"General, we really need a break now." Lu Su said in a deep voice.

"I also know that Mr. is hardworking, but Wenyuan often says that using soldiers is using danger, not to mention, we have dragged on for too long, and I will too."

Wen Chou looked at the back and said in a low voice: "I'm also worried about An Feng." ”

"That's fine."

Lu Su didn't dwell on it anymore, and instead said, "Then send a few more scouts to probe, I want to know what the situation is in Shouchun now." ”

"Okay, that's okay." Wen Chou nodded and continued to walk.

Huo County, fifty miles south of Shouchun, is the second county seat that Anfeng Lu's army will encounter after entering Jiujiang.

Of course, it is possible to go far away, but it is impossible to go too far.

At this time, in the council hall in the city, Sun Ce sat on a handsome chair, his eyes were like falcons, full of confidence, "This time, the Lu army has become a tired army, tomorrow night, they will arrive at the position expected by Gong Jin, and at that time, they will be captured!" ”

"Victory! Win! Win! In the hall, Tai Shici, Han Dang, Lu Meng, Ling Tong and other military generals were gearing up.

In the past, the blood feud under Guangling City always had to be filled.

I can only blame you for your bad luck.
