Xuchang, Taiwei Fushang.

The tiger head Zhan golden spear in Ma Chao's hand was fierce as a dragon attacking Zhao Yun, and the latter's bright silver spear turned around and opened it all.

It seems that every move and every style is very dangerous, but the tiger head Zhan golden gun has never really been able to bring a threatening attack to Zhao Yun.

The man on the side tilted his head and muttered: "Is Zilong's martial arts improved again, or is it because he didn't get on the horse, how do you feel more freewheeling than the previous battle."

It's also possible that both sides didn't do their best, right? ”

Man Chong vaguely remembered that when Ma Chao led the troops to rob the camp, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao had a fight, and he only watched a few rounds, but Zhao Yun said that the battle was indiscriminate.

But judging from the competition in front of him, Ma Chao is obviously very restrained.

Lin Mo, who was leaning against the pillars and beams of the corridor and wearing a brocade robe, yawned and was excited.

In the past, he liked to watch these world-class celebrities duel very much, especially when he liked to see the top ten of the celebrity rankings, so as to confirm whether the ranking of the next generation was right.

However, after seeing the old father-in-law clean up these people one by one, he didn't seem to be much interested, in the words of the old father-in-law, he can play a fart, compare with me.

"There is more than enough fierceness, but in terms of gun skills, the agility is insufficient, don't keep thinking about fighting with people under every blow, you must learn to unload the force and stick to the other party at the same time."

After some competition, the old father-in-law who held his hands on his chest began to comment.

This is not the top singer in the variety shows of later generations, the mentors who are not in the stream comment on the top singers, the words of the old father-in-law are a bit of a stone for people at their level, so not only Ma Chao, but also Zhao Yun listened very attentively.

Since Ma Yunlu followed Zhao Yun, the development of things was indeed as Ma Teng predicted, and the old father-in-law did not refuse Ma Chao's request anymore, and personally went down to guide him.

And this sparring brother-in-law is still a person with outstanding strength, which is too attractive to the martial idiot Ma Chao, and he waits at the Taiwei Mansion every day.

In this regard, Lin Mo actually has some concerns.

After all, now that he is acting on the surface, the non-core characters don't know what the final goal is, in the original trajectory of history, the Ma family went to support the Han family as the descendants of the founding fathers, and God knows if they will embark on the road of confrontation in the end.

After all, the Ma family is different from those families who need to be persuaded in exchange for benefits, and it is difficult to fully understand where their bottom line is.

However, in the end, Lin Mo still didn't stop it, mainly because Liu Xie's ultimate goal now is that when that day comes, Lu Lin's group will indeed not suffer a loss in righteousness, and they can continue to play.

"Dean Zhong came over today, but is there something wrong?" When the competition was over, when the old father-in-law was pointing out Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, Lin Mo turned around to look at Zhong Xuan, who had been standing behind him for a long time and had a somewhat pale beard.

Today was the first time he had come to the Taiwei Mansion, which made Lin Mo a little surprised.

From beginning to end, Zhong Xuan was holding his hands in his sleeves, bowing his head, not interested in watching this competition of the world's top generals.

It is understandable that in the eyes of these people, whether it is the old father-in-law or Zhao Yun Ma Chao, they are a little vulgar, there is no way, this group of people who regard themselves as high-minded, just know that chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, but they don't mention Confucianism and lawlessness.

"Chen Qun, Du Xian, and Du Qi are back." Zhong Xuan replied silently.

"So what? What is Dean Zhong going to do, is this what he means by wanting them to be reinstated? Lin Mo stepped on the seat of the corridor with one foot, put his right hand on his knee, and asked paradoxically.

"According to the news they brought back, there are currently 80,000 sailors in Jingxiang, which are respectively raised by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but Wen Ping is also good at water warfare, and in private Cao Liu has formed an alliance to prepare to jointly resist the imperial army, and the two sailors are combined with no less than 100,000 troops, which does not count Sun Ce's sailors."

After Zhong Miao finished speaking, Lin Mo raised his eyes to look at him and sneered.

After looking at it for a long time, he slowly stood up, walked to a step in front of Zhong Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then you thank the three of them for me, what does Dean Zhong think about reinstating them?" ”

"It's up to Sikong's arrangement." Zhong Xuan still has that clear face, which makes people unhappy, and I don't know how to say thank you Brother Yunwen.

"Dean Zhong, they are all back, and the strength of your Yingchuan faction can be regarded as a strong competition this time, and I will have to rely on you to take care of it in the future." Lin Mo sighed weirdly.

"There is no need to be sarcastic."

Zhong Miao sighed, "The old man knows that it is true that he can have today because of Sikong's consideration of the balance of the situation, but the old man also understands that the position of the dean does not have to be the old man, and manpower cannot shake the will of heaven after all. ”

This is a fair word, Lin Mo smiled and bowed his head, and said meaningfully: "It's best if you can think like this, it can be you or not, you have already made a mistake once, and if you are wrong, there will be more deaths." ”

"The old man understands." Zhong Xuan swallowed.

Recently, he has been very bitter, whether it is Xun Yu or Du Yi who has just come back, they all think that Zhong Yu picked up the leak, and Lu Lin and his party are purely because they don't want to give the position of dean to Yang Biao's gang.

What can Zhong Xuan say, after all, now that he has become the Yingchuan Daxu, he can't tell them that he has actually become Lin Mo's marionette.

"Sikong, I can't figure it out, the news they brought back is not trivial at all, even if we don't say that our shadows won't be able to find out sooner or later, even if you take this, you can accept the vote? It's too cheap for them. ”

After Zhong Xuan left, Zhen Rong said dissatisfiedly: "Recently, I found that the Xin family brothers and Guo Tu are very close to Zhong Xuan, they are all Yingchuan people, plus Chen Qun, Du Xian, Xun Yu and their group, will Yingchuan be too powerful." ”

"Then what's the way, you have to show the world just like it, otherwise others will think that if you break away from Cao Cao and abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, but you will be beaten into the cold palace, who will dare to come back."

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "As for you saying that Yingchuan is too powerful, it's pure, don't you just want to remind me that our strength above the court is a little thinner, it's best for you to hurry up and take over as the Great Honglu, that's what you mean?" ”

"If you don't say that Sikong is really a last resort, the foolish brother can't hide anything from you, it seems that he can't escape Sikong's control in this life." Zhen Rong didn't even bother to quibble, obviously very confident in the money he paid.

Lin Mo exhaled a breath of turbid air and sat down again, his eyes full of depth.

Zhong Xuan's words just now made him feel pressured.

Cao, Sun and Liu formed a tripartite alliance, and the combat power of the navy army should not be underestimated, even if the four major families in Jiangdong have made it clear that they have changed their ways, but as Zhong Xuan said, this navy has exceeded 100,000.

At present, even if the number of recruits can come up, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break 100,000 during the autumn harvest war.

The most important point is that the combat effectiveness of the recruits is too weak, and this is not a problem with equipment that can be reversed.

It seems that the next step is really to start preparing for this final battle.

"Sikong, Huang Zu's son, Huang Jie, is here." A sergeant ran in and asked for instructions.

"Bring it in." Lin Mo nodded.

Not long after, a young man in armor with thick eyebrows and broad nose walked over, looked at the young Sikong who was surrounded by several people, and immediately stepped forward to make a gesture, "The last general Huang Shot to meet Sikong!" ”

"I received a report from the post house a few days ago, but I don't know why you are here all of a sudden, but what is the situation in Jiangxia?" Lin Mo asked with some curiosity.

"Returning to Sikong, my father must personally run this trip at the end of his life, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out of military affairs, my father even wanted to go to Beijing by himself."

After puffing up his chest, Huang Jie's clear eyes were a little moist, and he said with a choked voice: "I came here to thank Sikong for his help several times, this time, my father was able to slash the Sun family, all thanks to Sikong, this kindness, the Huang family remembers." ”

"Xiangxiang is gone." Although it was a planned thing, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh when he heard this result.

After all, it's a bow-waisted Ji, and her reputation is famous, even if you don't collect stamps, you want to take a look, but it's a pity.

In fact, Lin Mo himself didn't want to do this, but if he wanted to blame Sun Ce for slaughtering the Huang family, if he didn't settle this blood debt, Huang Zu was afraid that it would be difficult to eliminate the estrangement with the Jiangdong Army led by the four major families.

In addition, this can also completely cut off the possibility of the four major families and Sun Ce Lotus.

This is the battlefield, this is politics, and it is not subject to human will.

Huang Zu is very good, he knows that he owes him a favor, and he knows how to send his son to express his gratitude, and at the same time, it can be regarded as expressing his firm determination, after all, Huang Jie is already his only relative in this world.

"By the way, Sikong, there is still something to report in the end."

"You say."

Huang Jie hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "It's all my own people, let's say it." ”

"Whoa."

Huang Zhu put his mind at ease and said: "Jiangxia originally had 50,000 sailors, but Liu Qi took away more than 20,000 people, and now Jiangxia has less than 30,000 sailors. However, since we no longer need to pay taxes to Changsha, my father asked me to report to the office that all the taxes in Jiangxia this year will be used to recruit and train sailors, and it is expected that this autumn it can be expanded to about 40,000 people, plus the 15,000 sailors promised by Jiangdong, and there will be no less than 50,000 troops in one place by then. ”

"Not bad."

Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction, "This matter is hard for your father and son." ”

"Still."

Huang Jie looked embarrassed, but continued: "My father asked the last general to tell Sikong that this naval army is not comparable to foot cavalry, and they can train elite in a short period of time through battlefield fighting, in addition to needing to cooperate with warships and proficient in flag language, they must also be familiar with the shallows, undercurrents, rapids, wind direction and other issues in the waters of the Yangtze River.

And the sailors under Jingxiang Cai Mao already know the water situation of the Yangtze River very well, and they are used to water warfare, plus the sailors that Liu Qi took away from Jiangxia before, please think carefully about the timing of the battle. ”

Just by hearing this, he knew that Huang Zu was not a person who was happy with great achievements, on the contrary, he took the initiative to inform him of these circumstances because he was grateful for his kindness.

Lin Mo twisted his fingers, his eyebrows tightened.

If you calculate the number of troops, Liaoshen's expansion from the Qingxu side, 30,000 or 40,000 sailors is not a big problem, plus Jiangxia and Jiangdong, even if it is only 100,000, it will be more than 80,000.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious, as Huang Zu said, in addition to the more than 20,000 sailors in his headquarters, others don't know how long it will take for others to be familiar with the water conditions of the Yangtze River, not to mention the problems of familiarizing themselves with tactics, flag language, and enhancing tacit understanding.

And Cao Cao and Liu Bei's water army are different, they can be directly thrown into the battlefield.

From this point of view, in fact, there are indeed many disadvantages to the start of war this autumn.

But now is the time when the soldiers are in full swing, and Cao, Sun and Liu are all like frightened birds, and from the perspective of fighters, they should not be missed.

Lin Mo rubbed his temples, a little embarrassed.

Fighting, it must be fought, Lin Mo doesn't want to miss the current war that can be called a gathering of the right time, place and people, as long as he wins again this time, Cao Sun Liu will be completely reduced to the dust of history, and the troubled times of more than ten years will also be reunified.

However, Huang Zu's reminder also has to be cautious.

Lin Mo reviewed the battle of Chibi in history, Cao Cao was a monstrous force but was finally defeated, there are many theories, plague, arrogant soldiers, falling into the counter-plot, Zhuge Liang instigating the sky, and other reliable and unreliable theories.

If you want to talk about borrowing the southeast wind, Lin Mo actually doesn't believe it, that kind of situation at that time should be more just to deter Zhou Yu, Liangzi's ability to observe the sky at night and predict the time of day is the key, this is a factor that cannot be ignored, and he has to think of a way to deal with this.

Of course, it is impossible to even ship such a one-pot thing, but the northerners are not accustomed to the southern climate, and the water and soil are not adapted, and the breeding of epidemics is also an important factor, and they must be fully prepared before the army goes south.

As for the counter-plots, Lin Mo is still very confident, in front of himself, this trick can't be played at all.

Otherwise, you can only see the real chapter on the battlefield.

Lin Mo exhaled a breath, his eyes were firm, and said: "Go back and tell your father, prepare for the war, you will hunt the Yangtze River this autumn, and clean up the Caosun and Liu San's family!" ”

"Sikong rest assured, the last general will definitely be brought, is there anything else that the last general needs to bring?" Huang Shot arched his hand.

Lin Mo thought for a while, but there was nothing more, so he only said, "Let your father get along with Lu Xun and Zhu Huan, they have also contributed a lot to this matter." ”

"The last general understands!" After receiving the order, Huang Zhu turned around and strode away.

After Huang shot away, Lin Mo turned around and entered the inner hall, and of course Zhen Rong followed up.

He picked up a silk cloth on the table, wrote down some lists, and then threw them to Zhenrong, "Go and prepare these things, the amount should be sufficient, and send them all to Jiangxia before the autumn harvest." ”

Zhen Rong looked left and right, they were all worthless things, many of them were even readily available, and some were unclear, but seeing that Lin Mo seemed to have something to do, he didn't ask much, but said sonorously: "Don't worry, you will definitely do it!" ”

"Okay, I'll go into the palace later to do your business for you." After saying that, he walked out.

"Thank you, Brother Sikong!" Zhen Rong smiled and couldn't close his mouth, and finally waited, Guangzong Yaozu, this is what he wants.

When he went out, Lin Mo did not enter the palace immediately, but returned to Sikong Mansion, anyway, it was still early, and there were some things that he had to do before he could feel at ease.

Not long after, Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Pang Tong, Lu Su, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu were all invited.

"I don't want to ask you anything else, I just want to ask one thing, you are all people who are rich in learning, astronomy, and geography, so I will ask you if you can predict the celestial phenomena."

Everyone was a little confused, they have been playing court politics recently, and they rarely talked about war, and suddenly asked like this, so that everyone couldn't react.

"I mean be precise." Lin Mo added again.

"I don't dare to predict the celestial phenomena according to the changes in the surrounding environment, but I can still infer the weather, such as wind, fog, rain, and frost according to the changes in the surrounding environment." The first to speak was Pang Tong.

The others didn't speak, but the confidence in their eyes showed that they all had their own means.

Only Chen Gong looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, and then looked at Lin Mo, "Yunwen, what do you mean by precision, how to calculate accuracy." ”

Forehead.

How good.

Lin Mo thought for a while, "For example, if the wind starts three days later, can you accurately judge the direction of the wind, the time of the wind, the strength of the wind, and the time when the wind goes." ”

When he said this, everyone was stunned, looking at each other and embarrassed.

"I can't do it down there." Lu Su was the first to speak.

"The lower officials can't do it." Liu Ye also spoke.

"The lower officials are shallow and incapacitated." Xu Shu also shook his head helplessly.

Looking at Lin Mo's increasingly lost gaze, Pang Tong swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and said instead: "Sikong's requirements are almost only accessible to strangers, and I only know that Mr. Shuijing and Zhuge Kongming should be able to meet Sikong's requirements." ”

In this way, Wuhou can really do it.

It's a pity that the weaker person in this regard is likely to be surprised by the other party's information difference.

Of course, it is actually great to be able to predict the general direction, Lin Mo himself does not have this ability, when it rains, he has to see if his rheumatic legs will hurt.

Lin Mo nodded and sighed, "It's okay, I'll just ask casually." ”

I asked for a cup of tea, chatted a few words, and asked them for their opinions on the next water war, most of them still sought stability, hoping to train more water troops as Huang Zu said, after all, the advantage is now firmly in their own hands.

Lin Mo didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, and waited until the conversation was almost over, before getting up and preparing to enter the palace.

Everyone said goodbye, and Lin Mo grabbed the old yin.

"Let's go, accompany me into the palace."

The old yin didn't suspect that he had him, so he followed.

didn't go far, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, "When they all said they couldn't do it just now, you just shook your head, is there a way?" ”

"Huh?"

Jia Xu looked confused, and immediately said: "Didn't I say it, oh, then I'll make it up now, I can't do it." ”

"In the end, it's okay or not, give me a happy word, this matter is very important to me." Lin Mo faded the smile on his face and looked at him with a serious face.

"This Sikong, to predict as accurately as you said, where is it as simple as knowing astronomy and geography, and you must be proficient in Qimen gossip and Liuren Yin and Yang, so as to explore the heavens." The silver hair of the old yin head fluttered.

"Whoever asks you about Qimen gossip and Liuren Yin and Yang, I will ask you if you can do it."

"Then, the life of a person who investigates the heavenly machine is not long, and the mortal body cannot predict the celestial phenomena."

"I asked you if you could do it!" Lin Mo's eyes widened with anger.

"This, this. Possibly, it should be, it shouldn't, not at all. Jia Xu said it with great struggle.

"So, you can do it?" Lin Mo's eyes lit up, holding the hand of the old yin.

"No, Sikong, the old man only knows a thing or two, but Sikong must know, the heavens are measurable, and the way of heaven is impermanent, who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes at all as you say?"

That's right, too.

The character of the old yin will not be so full of words.

In other words, Zhuge Liang can do it, and Jia Xu also has this means.

In fact, like Chen Gong, they said that they can predict celestial phenomena through the surrounding environment, which is used by the people, and may also be predicted through relatively simple celestial changes.

But Lin Mo was also sure that if he wanted to accurately judge the time as he said, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu would definitely use another set of methods.

However, what the old yin said is also reasonable, the celestial phenomena are measurable, and the way of heaven is impermanent, in this regard, it can be used as a basis, but not as a conclusive conclusion.

Even so, it was enough.

Therefore, in this battle, the old yin goods must go together!

Thank you Yan Ai for the reward from the alliance leader who only has pain left!

My brother actually rewarded me at Q Reading first, and then came to the starting point to reward me, I'm really grateful.

Kowtow thank you (bang bang bang!) ）
