Chapter 189: Fierce Beasts and Rui Beasts
Su Lin doesn't know much about the thought of soldiers, but he has not read the book of war, "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" are deep and shallow, but they are the benchmark of Confucian thought in the entire Tianren Continent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Let's go, Su Lin, I'll take you back to our Jian'an Village first. This trial is actually a microcosm version of the state test, and at present, almost all of our Xiucai candidates in Jian'an Mansion are in Jian'an Village. However, when the state test comes, the world space conjured up by Jiuding will be much larger than this year's space, and the competition will be even more exciting!"
Hong Liyu said as he took Su Lin back to Jian'an Village. Jian'an Village is in the southwest corner of the central village, and the people in the village are all puppets with dull eyes and no wisdom of their own.
"This is the ancient human village simulated by the world of the evening year, but because the head of the Jishan Academy is only a scholar of Hallym University after all, and his holy power is limited, it is not easy to conjure such a world. Therefore, the people and soldiers in this are without self-thinking and wisdom. ”
Following Hong Liyu's introduction, Su Lin also found that the people here are actually no different from the grass and trees, they are just props for this trial, not real life.
"Hanlin's literary position, with the help of the horns of the Year of the Fierce Beast, can conjure such a magical illusory world. What if it is a great Confucian and a demi-saint? Is it true that they can create a world that is almost real? No wonder novelists can create the underworld out of nothingness with the help of their imagination......
Su Lin carefully counted the troops, and now the number of troops in Jian'an Village, plus the more than fifty he brought, was only more than four hundred. Moreover, Hong Liyu used a "conscription order" written by Confucianism in the village to recruit twenty soldiers from the village every day.
If there were no other Wenbao to assist, according to the natural efficiency of the villagers to convert into soldiers, there would only be a maximum of five soldiers per day.
"Su Maocai, you can be regarded as here. The food in our village has run out of food, because Brother Hong is too efficient in using the "Conscription Order" to convert soldiers. As a result, the number of farmers has dropped dramatically, and if we don't increase the production of food, I am afraid that the whole village will fall into famine......"
Seeing Su Lin's arrival, a Xiucai from Jian'an Mansion hurriedly stepped forward and said, "If Su Maocai's "Compassion for Nong" suppresses the village, the grain output will definitely be doubled." ”
"Also, Su Maocai! Your poem "Yanqiu Ci" should also be written quickly! The fertility rate of the people in these ancient villages is very low, and if there is "Yanqiu Ci" to suppress the villages, the population will definitely be able to double ......."
Seeing this, another Xiucai also hurriedly stepped forward and said.
In this world of the New Year, the concept of time has been adjusted. For the people and village management, a day is a year, crops can be ripened in a day, and newborns can grow into prime in a day. These are all adjustments made by Ji Shan, the head of the academy, in order to cooperate with the trials of the candidates, before Su Lin arrived, Hong Liyu and other talents had already used some of the treasures they carried that would help the development of the village.
However, the effect is still not obvious enough. The same is true for other villages, which are using Wenbao to accelerate the development of villages and flourish. Reserve more food and troops to deal with the invasion of the Year Beasts.
"Su Lin, the Year Beast will launch a general attack on the central village during the Spring Festival in ten days. When the time comes, there will be countless Year Beasts coming from the wild lair, and we must be prepared with sufficient troops to be able to capture enough Year Beasts on that day, and to protect the village from destruction......"
Hong Liyu pointed to a village in the east and said, "That village is Jianning Village, led by Zhao Yi, and the current army has reached thousands of troops. In the past few days, after two round-ups of the Year Beasts, Zhao Yi and the others also caught five Year Beasts. On our side, we haven't caught a single ...... yet."
"Thank you for your hard work! Don't worry, now that I'm back, leave it to me!"
Su Lin nodded, threw out two golden pages of holy power, used Wenbao's pen and ink, swayed holy power, and wrote a book.
After a while, a song "Compassion for Nong" and a song "Yanqiu Ci" took shape, Hong Liyu immediately let people paste in the village, the change was very obvious, the crops planted outside the village began to grow wildly, and you could immediately hear the cry of a newborn melon on the ground.
"Su Lin, it is worthy of the poetry of Zhenguo, and it is written by you, the original creator, yourself. The effect is even comparable to the scriptures of some great Confucians. ”
Hong Liyu was overjoyed in her heart, even if she brought some literary treasures, they were far inferior to Su Lin's thoughtful poems of Zhenguo.
"That's right! Liyu, I'll also write the other two battle poems, "Summer Quatrain" and "Liangzhou Ci"! Although it cannot be used in the battle formation of soldiers, I believe that it will also have a lot of effect on conscription and strengthening soldiers, and accumulate troops for our Jian'an Village. ”
Su Lin waved and finished writing the two battle poems. The effect was surprisingly good, and the poetry of Zhenguo lived up to its reputation, and the recruitment efficiency of Jian'an Village instantly increased to 50 soldiers per day.
"Zhao Gongzi, after Su Lin arrived in Jian'an Village, he wrote out his four poems of Zhenguo. Today, the food and troops in Jian'an Village are better than those in our Jianning Village. ”
Within a few days of Su Lin's arrival in Jian'an Village, the strength of Jian'an Village could be said to have skyrocketed. Among the other villages, only Zhao Yi of Jianning Village was able to compete with the assistance of many great Confucian treasures.
Zhao Yi listened to his subordinates' Xiucai report, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! With the number of troops and food, can you not catch the Year Beast? You must know that to capture a Year Beast, it takes at least fifty soldiers to encircle according to the battle formation to have a chance of success." Not to mention that on the day of the Spring Festival, there were hundreds of New Year beasts raiding, and if you don't understand the thoughts and mysteries of soldiers, how many soldiers will die......"
As the end of the year draws closer, the other weak villages have chosen to unite and gather their forces in order to resist the invasion of the Nian Beast and capture the Nian Beast. However, in this way, their numbers will be further diluted when calculating the number of annual beasts captured.
In Jian'an Village in Sulin, there are 24 Xiucai candidates who have not yet been kicked out, but the number of troops has reached thousands. Because none of the soldiers here have the ability to think for themselves, Surin has assigned every talent candidate to the team so that he can command.
"Liyu, it will be the Spring Festival in two days. Now we have thousands of troops, enough to round up the Year Beast. It's better to lead the team to the wilderness today, compete with the New Year beast first, and have a bottom in your heart, so that you can better deal with the New Year!"
Other villages, more or less, will lead their teams to the wilderness to try to capture the Year Beast in these days, but most of them return empty-handed, and even suffer heavy losses. Only the talents of a few villages, because they have the powerful soldier Wenbao in their hands, can capture a few Year Beasts.
"It's fine, Surin, but we can't be careless. We do not have the soldiers' books and treasures in our hands, and although the number of soldiers is thousands, the combat effectiveness and momentum will be greatly reduced. ”
Hong Liyu nodded, and then immediately summoned the rest of the Xiucai candidates, led thousands of soldiers, and marched towards the wilderness to capture the Year Beast.
The world of the evening year is a reshaping of the ancient wild world, hot during the day and cold at night. In the wilderness, almost all of them are deserts where no grass grows. Moreover, in this wilderness, there is only one kind of fierce beast that survives, "Nian".
Su Lin was lucky on the way to Jian'an Village before, and he didn't encounter the New Year Beast. Because the Nian beasts do not live in groups on weekdays, and they have a withdrawn temperament, only during the New Year, they will all invade and rush towards the human villages.
"Liyu, I've heard that in ancient times, there were fierce beasts and rui beasts. They are all born from the corresponding condensation of ideas between heaven and earth. For example, the unicorn is a benevolent beast, born from the condensation of benevolent thoughts, and can sense the birth of a saint. It is said that on the night of the birth of the sage Confucius, a unicorn descended on the Confucian Mansion and spit out a jade book, on which there was 'the son of the water spirit, the king of the declining Zhou and Su, and the sign was in the virtuous.' '. ”
After searching in the wilderness for a long time, and still not encountering a nest of a year beast, Su Lin discussed the fierce beast and the rui beast with Hong Liyu, and asked, "So, what kind of thinking will this year beast be born from? If we find the weakness of this kind of thinking, won't we be able to easily subdue them?"
Along the way, Su Lin was thinking, it was always a trail to capture the Year Beast with the strength of the army. Since this is a world of ideas, Surin considers deeply analyzing the weaknesses of the minds represented by the Year Beasts, intending to subdue them from this aspect.
"Rui beasts and fierce beasts are born based on corresponding ideas. However, with the exception of a very few, the ideas they represent are difficult to know. Because Rui beasts and fierce beasts are often hidden in the void or the depths of the wilderness, and only at a certain time will they come into the world......"
Hong Liyu shook his head and said, "And this year beast is said to have been exterminated by the power of the human race in ancient times, and we can only find the remains of some year beasts at most, and no one can figure out what the thoughts of the year beast represent." ”
"That's a bit tricky, I can't figure out what the Nian Beast represents. It is impossible to subdue them with thoughts, it seems that they still have to rely on brute force......"
As soon as Su Lin's words fell, suddenly, behind the wild hills in front of him, a heaven-shattering beast roar erupted, and the entire ground shook.
"It's a year beast...... Surin, this is the roar of the Nian Beast, just behind that dune, but ...... It seems that someone has already angered the Nian Beast first......" Hong Liyu said in surprise.
