Because of this, it can be said that the quarrel between the two groups is inevitable, and this is exactly what Lin Fengjin wants to achieve.

For Lin Fengjin, the monarch Lu Yu already knew his talent, so for Lin Fengjin, the purpose of the township examination is to be able to win, and what can he do if he takes the first place in the exam?

There is a way that there is no first, there is no second, the famous Lin Feng has taken the thirteenth place, and the twelve people in front of him will definitely have nothing to say, of course, they will not jump out and say anything eccentric, cheating, and they will not lead the tree to make a big move.

And because of the controversy in Lin Fengjin's papers, people who support him will scold the examiner for being unfair, and he doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, even if he doesn't agree with Lin Fengjin's views, he will secretly praise in his heart that young people really have personality, even at the moment when the fate of life is determined by the township exam, they actually dare to stick to their own views, and they are not afraid that the examiner will not like your views, so they will not take it directly.

In this way, no one can guess the truth of the matter, who would have thought that Lin Fengjin's thirteen were obtained by cheating?

Time passed quickly, and it was already September in a blink of an eye, during this time, the wealth that Lin Fengjin brought back was quickly consumed, and most of it was filled into the black hole of Wu Zuocheng, not only replaced the broken Shenwu crossbow, but also filled in an additional two hundred double-shot Shenwu crossbows.

At the same time, a large number of caravans outside Wu Zuocheng also had an obvious effect, an astonishing number of war horses were exchanged, and there was a shortage of everything on the grassland, that is, there was no shortage of cattle, sheep and horses, so Wu Zuocheng's cavalry was also quickly rebuilt, and the prisoners of war were built with beacon towers within a radius of five or six hundred miles, and a sufficient early warning system was established.

Koshihikari Lotus Mist Rice has also made new progress. Varieties with higher yields and less requirements for aura were developed, and Lin Feng thought about it and called it Xiguang Lotus Mist Rice. Of course, the rice grains produced by this Xiguang Lotus Mist Rice must be inferior, and neither the taste nor the aura can be compared with the Koshiguang Lotus Mist Rice grown.

However, no matter how you say it, this thing is carefully cultivated and planted, and the aura contained in it alone is very different from those ordinary excellent rice. To be expected. As long as this thing is released, it will definitely be sold for a good price.

Therefore, Lin Fengjin made a very simple decision to plant Xiguang Lotus Mist Rice on a large scale in the current acreage, and as for the Yueguang Lotus Mist Rice, it is only planted in a small part, and the use is naturally to pay tribute and eat it for his own family, and he will not sell it to the outside world at all.

After the Xiguang Lotus Mist Rice has been stored in a certain amount, it is ready to start spreading out in an all-round way, making it famous in one shot, and then it will be priced far away from the rest of the grain. Naturally, there will be no conflict with the rest of the industry.

Just when Lin Fengjin was planning for his fortune plan, the war in the Central Plains was also surging.

There is a way that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the East China Sea coalition army is indeed advancing at the beginning. It can be said that it is a fierce pursuit and fierce attack, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and later even the big cities of Zhou County were also attacked by it, and there is a great situation of attacking the city.

Under this series of victories. The contradictions within the East China Sea Coalition Army gradually appeared, and when they came to attack before, they were all trembling and walking on thin ice. was intimidated by the prestige of the Central Plains power, but now after the tentative attack, he suddenly found that this seemingly terrifying and terrifying power seemed to be such a big thing, and it was actually a paper tiger, so he was proud in his heart.

There is a saying that we cannot share prosperity and prosperity together, and once people's hearts are scattered, it is not easy to lead the team.

The alliance between the countries of the East China Sea is already very fragile, and they are attacking each other, there is a blood feud, and as soon as the external pressure is gone, the internal voice immediately emerges such as uneven distribution of spoils, accusing the other party of not working hard, etc., this mind is used more on internal fighting, and it is naturally less used externally.

At this time, the family of King Fu of Nanzheng, who suffered the most from the poison, saw the opportunity to set up an ambush in Li County, Haixi County, which was 90 miles away from the coast, and saw the wood and weapons that the East China Sea countries needed most at this time, and used this as bait to lure them to attack Li County in Haixi County.

The countries of the East China Sea came at this time with the might of great victory, landed strongly, besieged Li County, and only after entering Li County did they discover the plan, Nanzheng ambush troops came out in an outstream, and besieged it to the water, but also besieged Li County without attacking, deliberately attracted the enemy who stayed behind to rescue, this is the famous "siege and reinforcement" tactics in the art of war.

As a result, when the trapped East China Sea Coalition Army in Li County was still staring at the reinforcements, what they were waiting for was the news of the rout of the reinforcements, not only that, but even the ships they were on were actually captured more than half!

Because although Nan Zheng seemed to be divided at this time, King Jing's side also realized the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and this time not only marched into the army to aid King Fu, but also said that the witch god was dispatched to deal with the Su I envoy on the ship of the East China Sea Alliance.

This battle is known as the Battle of Li County, in which the East China Sea Coalition suffered unprecedented and astonishing losses, more than 120,000 soldiers were captured or killed, 31 priests were shattered, and more than 70 percent of the ships in the D War Zone were lost -- the most important thing was that if these ships were destroyed, more than half of them were captured by the other side.

After the battle of Li County, the four countries of the Central Plains that were invaded also made a series of counterattacks and responses, and although the East China Sea Coalition Army, which was careless and underestimated the enemy, did not have the same fiasco as Li County, it accumulated a lot, and suddenly there were casualties of varying numbers, and the cumulative number was also very amazing.

The East China Sea Coalition Army suffered a setback in just a few months, which Lin Fengjin did not calculate in advance, even if the East China Sea Coalition Army can continue to send reinforcements from the country in the future, but needless to say, those soldiers who died must be the most elite and best trained group, and those who made up for it later must have been picked up from the first time when they sent troops, so the combat power of these sergeants who came up can only be imagined.

In this case, Lin Fengjin's heart was a little suspended.

Why? Naturally, he was worried about Wu Zuocheng.

Previously, he had calculated that at the stage of strategic stalemate, the East China Sea Coalition was likely to consider attacking Wu Zuocheng, and there were four good reasons:

One is to be able to successfully remove this disgusting nail,

Second, you can also get a good harbor.

Third, you can train troops in siege warfare.

Fourth, Wu Zuocheng does not belong to any of the four countries, so there is no need to worry about its reinforcements.

It stands to reason that Lin Fengjin's calculation is very reasonable, but he underestimated one thing, that is, he overestimated the continuity of the East China Sea Alliance, and at the same time underestimated the damage caused to the East China Sea Alliance by the crazy counterattack of the four countries in the Central Plains in the recent period.

Especially in the first battle of Li County, the East China Sea Coalition Army penetrated 90 miles inland, and the main force was first surrounded in Li County, and the next siege and reinforcements squeezed out the opponent's ability to finally counterattack. And this is only a superficial phenomenon, what Lin Fengjin didn't know was that more than half of the 120,000 people lost were the elite of the Sunrise Country, and after these people were lost, the combat strength of the entire Sunrise Country would be reduced by at least one-third.

Not only that, but in this battle, the eight ghosts under His Royal Highness Tianlu, the commander of the Rising Sunrise Country, fell two people again, plus the crow ghost strategy who was angry with Lin Feng and vomited blood before. Of the remaining two ghosts who died in the battle of Shangmao, only three of the eight cadres under his command remained, and the loss of middle and low-level generals brought a sharp reduction in the combat power of the army, which would have an extremely far-reaching impact.

Meantime. After this war, the power of the Rising Sun Nation was rapidly depleted, and it was no longer the point where it was a single power, and it took two or three countries to join forces to compete with it. It's a well-known fact that it's better to have only one voice in the army, and now with the Land of the Rising Sun losing the ability to dominate the battle. The internal strife within the East China Sea Coalition also began to grow rapidly, and although they suffered a crushing defeat at this stage, it can be said that they have made a lot of money and are satisfied.

In all dynasties, it was because of the tyrannical expropriation, and the people would be starved to death if they couldn't eat, so they would rebel angrily. The East China Sea coalition has already returned with a full load, and because of this, the well-fed tiger has lost its deterrent.

In addition, at the beginning, the East China Sea Coalition Army was advancing vigorously, and it can be said that it was high-spirited, and it regarded the heroes of the Central Plains as nothing, but now, after suffering a big loss, it is really a bit overkill, and I feel that the four countries of the Central Plains were only careless at the beginning, and at this time, they are definitely not opponents when they take out their real strength.

Under such circumstances, when His Royal Highness Lu proposed that all countries jointly send troops to fight Wu Zuocheng, especially the three countries of Heizhi, Boni, and Luju, which had suffered big losses under Wu Zuocheng, were very negative.

They feel that this country of the rising sun is really full!

If the Cave Bay camp hadn't been abandoned before, and the barrier defense line was still there, then they were still a little interested, and now they finally changed to a new camp, and you fucking said you were going to fight again! Fight that ghost place that is very dazzling to look at, don't you consume materials? Speaking of which, it seems as easy as sending a few hundred people to conquer it?

Besides, if you go to fight now, even if you fight it, who will this Wu Zuocheng belong to? Could it be that your Sunrise Country has encountered a hard bone below, and you have suffered a big loss, so you want to stretch your hand to our No. C war zone? Fuck your mother, why didn't you fight when you first made a lot of money in the rich Jiangnan and ate a lot of oil?

And at this time, the East China Sea coalition army is used to plundering in rich areas, and their vision is also high, and if they look at the grassland again, they can't help but feel that birds don't, desolate and cold, and there is no oil and water.

Therefore, as soon as the people naturally had objections, seeing that the alliance had been completely made into a plate of scattered sand, His Royal Highness Tianlu of the Rising Sunrise Country was so angry that his face was pale, and he couldn't wait to put aside these bastards with rat eyes and lead his troops to defeat Wu Zuocheng.

However, at this time, although the country of the rising sun is still a strong country, it is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the grand occasion of the past.

His Royal Highness Tianlu has the confidence to capture Wu Zuocheng with the power of one country, but he does not have the confidence to capture Wu Zuocheng at a small price, the countries of the East China Sea have attacked each other for hundreds of years, and they have a deep enmity with each other, just like once a wolf is seriously injured in a wolf pack, the end is to be eaten by the same kind.

If His Royal Highness Tianlu really insists on going his own way, then this matter will become a big deal if it is not done well, you know, he still has three or four brothers who are eyeing him and are ready to pull him down from the position of the crown prince at any time.

Therefore, after Lin Fengjin gathered information from all sides, he analyzed the true purpose of the East China Sea Alliance, and he was also relieved. Knowing that Wu Zuocheng was no longer a threat in the short term, he hurriedly ordered the Sanli Department on the grassland to return.

Fortunately, the most looted from the camp in Cave Bay is grain, Wu Zuocheng and Sanlibu alone, that is a plan to eat and drink, and it happened to encounter the grassland last year's snowstorm, grain is extremely precious, more than gold and silver or anything is considered hard currency. It's time to make a big move.

After saying that, there are many ways to go in Northern Qi at this time, and in fashionable words, life is extraordinarily exciting.

Lifting people means that they have already stepped into the official career with one foot, and the vast majority of people will take the Jinshi exam next, and if they win the Jinshi, they will be assigned official positions.

Of course, if you fail to pass the entrance examination repeatedly, you are really physically and mentally exhausted. It is to seek the position of general judgment, Tongzhi, state, county, master book, etc., these positions are not the number one, but they are connected to the top. The kind that can fish in troubled waters.

If Shangguan is weaker, he can even fake the tiger and run rampant, then the majesty is definitely not bad.

I don't even want to be admitted to the Jinshi. If you don't want to be an official, you can enjoy Qingfu directly at home, even if your family was so poor before. But for the 100 acres of tax-free land under the name of the people, there are also people who serve the fields, and some people are willing to be slaves, so that you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

For Lin Fengjin, this lifting person is really not a big deal, he is running around outside at this time, it is also a little difficult to calm down again to study and nourish his energy, back to Xiangdu for more than half a year, the only harvest is in one night in August, thunderstorms, and as a result, he accidentally slipped into his arms Fu Min'er to do it, but then Lin Fengjin thought back more about the details, how is it also a little meaningful.

However, although Lin Fengjin is a little slanderous, he has long regarded Fu Min'er as a forbidden body that is not allowed to be touched by others, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks that relationship, but there is also a taste of water, and after the two have a breakthrough relationship, Fu Min'er likes to stick to Lin Fengjin even more, and the forester is anxious to hold his grandson, wanting the Lin family to get rid of the nightmare of three generations of single transmission, so although he knows that it is not in line with etiquette, he turns a blind eye.

At this time, good news came from the grassland.

Sanli fought a great battle with one of the three major tribes on the grassland: the Dayan tribe on the Asi River, breaking the opponent's coalition army of 60,000 people and killing countless people!!

Since the withdrawal of the East China Sea Alliance, Sanlibu, which has a large amount of grain, has used grain as bait and gifts to rapidly expand, such a new way of expansion in Huairou can be said to be invincible, and almost no tribe can resist such a temptation.

More importantly, the expansion of the Sanli tribe was based on a very loose economic alliance, and did not require the other party to join as its own vassal tribes, and did not interfere in any of their activities and internal affairs. The only requirement is to pay a certain percentage of the cattle and sheep tax each year according to the number of new animals.

And tell these tribes that the payment of cattle and sheep is based on the surplus, if there is no surplus, they can be exempted, and at the same time, if the alliance trades in Wu Zuocheng, they can enjoy a discounted price.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the membership model that Lin Fengjin borrowed from the memories of his previous life:

Pay a certain membership fee to enter the venue, and then enjoy VIP discounts according to the membership status.

Of course, now it's just a junior VIP coming out, and in the future, let's slowly subdivide it.

Because a large number of tribes on the grassland were lured by the Sanli tribe and joined the alliance, the Dayan tribe intuitively sensed the threat, and directly killed the two small caravans sent out by the Sanli tribe, cut off the heads of people and horses, and piled up three Jingguan.

Sanlibu brazenly sent out an army and fought with the Dayan tribe on the side of the Ass River.

You must know that after the previous battle, the sergeants in the Sanli Department are also as if they have been tempered steel, whether it is the cavalry of the Sanli Department or the heavy shield infantry led by Zhang Lei, they are already considered elite, and when this battle was launched, these horses were currently the backbone of the army to expand the army, select soldiers from the captured prisoners and herdsmen, and expand to more than 30,000 people in one go.

Because most of these captives absorbed are also soldiers from the East China Sea countries, there will definitely be no significant decline in combat power.

Even Lin Fengjin can assert that the combat strength of these more than 30,000 people will not even be worse than the men and horses under the command of General Shen Yan or General Hengbo.

On the side of the Asi River, the Sanli Division lined up, with the infantry army as the frontal formation, and the cavalry protected the two wings, allowing the Dayan tribe to attack.

At this time, the Sanli Department is in the territory of the Dayan tribe, if the Dayan tribe can calm down, then the infantry army is going forward thirty miles a day, directly smashing the Huritu grassland, the birthplace of the Dayan tribe, so I am not afraid that the Dayan tribe will not take the bait, not to mention that the grassland people have always plundered like fire and can't hold their breath.

As a result, the Dayan tribe rushed down, and immediately suffered a big loss, it turned out that when they were halfway through the charge, several rows of sergeants in front of the Sanli Department suddenly dispersed, and actually revealed eighty Shenwu crossbows lined up!

These Shenwu crossbows are all loaded in the carriage of the cart, the grassland is flat, there is no hindrance to travel, it is the latest repeating crossbow, under the salvo of eighty Shenwu crossbows, it can be said that people are on their backs, and the four or five rows of cavalry rushing in front of them can be said to be as if they hit the invisible wall, and they died tragically on the spot.

After firing two rounds of salvos, eighty Shenwu crossbows were dragged to the rear, and at this time, the infantry guarding the Chinese army seemed to be trying to see the poor dagger and peel the eggshell, revealing the final measures to deal with the cavalry, that is, the large chariot array that stretched across the city wall!

This cart is usually used to load the grain and grass of the infantry army, saving the soldiers' bodies, once it is discovered that the opponent's cavalry is about to attack, it is very simple to beat it horizontally and turn it into a chariot array! And this chariot array is not completely sealed like the city wall, but three or four hundred carts are scattered on the battle array, leaving a lot of gaps that can be entered.

That is to say, in such a situation, since the cavalry of the Dayan tribe has a way to go, then they will definitely not be stupid enough to directly hit the cart, so after rushing into the car formation, it is bound to slow down, and as soon as the cavalry slows down, the power will drop by at least seventy percent.

Next, these cavalry who slowed down, but they were faced with a steel knife commanded by Zhang Lei, and the heavy armored infantry holding a heavy shield, the cavalry equipment of the Dayan tribe was originally very simple, and after losing the impact of the war horse, it was difficult to face the heavy armored infantry and even break the defense, so the end can be imagined!

After the Dayan tribe realized that something was wrong, they hurriedly ordered the forward to withdraw, but under this withdrawal, the Sanli cavalry guarding the two wings immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue, and immediately killed the one with a river of blood and a rolling head, and even the giant beast sent by Lin Fengjin to break the formation was not used.

After this battle, Sanlibu has become a rising upstart on the grassland, and the production of the tribes begging for a living within the influence of Sanlibu is more than enough to support Wu Zuocheng's trade.

For Lin Fengjin, the rapid expansion of the Sanli force under his control is a great thing, but he also has a big worry in his heart at this time, that is, his strength can be said to be completely in a state of stagnation.

Therefore, after Lin Feng thought about it, it can be said that the matter of breaking the pass is imminent, at this time, the last pass of the Qichong Gate, when Lin Fengjin went to Xirong and his party, he already knew that he should go to find the son of the owner who inherited the tea ceremony to the Tao, and it is likely that the key to breaking the pass is on her.

The son of the proprietor is a title in an ancient family, which is passed down from generation to generation, similar to "patriarch" and "elder", and is not a fixed person.

The crux of the matter is that the family of the son of the owner has always been incognito, and it can be said that it is extremely well hidden, and even the Northern Qi Dynasty, with the power of the whole country, has not obtained any clues of this family. Fortunately, Lin Fengjin also knows a very secret thing, that is, the son of the contemporary owner is actually involved with his mentor, Mr. Jiuyuan, and the two seem to have an inexplicable relationship. (To be continued......)
