Along the way, there was no obstruction, everyone returned to Yuehu Mountain smoothly, and as soon as they entered Yuehu Mountain, Shao Yan carefully observed the situation of the mountains and rivers.

Yuehu Mountain is not a famous mountain in the Yilan Mountains, its existence is not important, but in its west about 30 miles away from the Hukou Gorge is a place where soldiers must fight, in the entire Yilan Mountains stretching for more than 5,000 miles, there are only two intersections leading to the north, one of them is the Hukou Gorge, such as a gap in the mountains here, communicating the south and north of the mountain, the Hukou Gorge is about five miles widest, the narrowest is less than two miles, this is one of the two passages leading to the Rakshasa in the Great Sui, and it is also the only passage from the Yan Kingdom to the Rakshasa that the rest are blocked by the Yilan Mountains and the vast Yilan Mountains are impossible, except for the continuous peaks, it is the endless primeval forest, and the monsters and birds of prey are rampant in the middle, it is simply impossible for people to pass.

The Yan State specially built a city in the Hukou Gorge to defend it, and the Hukou Gorge became the most important border fortress and the most important defense line in the north of the Yan State and the Great Sui.

At the beginning, General Aolei's subordinates left Hukou Gorge with the general's family and finally occupied Yuehu Mountain, because this mountain is dangerous, and it is only thirty miles away from Hukou Gorge.

Halfway up the mountainside of Yuehu Mountain, a stone builds up the city wall, only one road leads straight to the mountainside, the road is nearly fifty steps wide, although the two sides of the road are not cliffs, but it is almost impossible to climb, this road seems to be abrupt in the middle of the wall, just to provide a passable road to the mountainside, Shao Yan can see that this is not artificially opened, it is indeed a miracle of nature, halfway up the mountainside, follow the mountain, and build two stone walls, on the other side a small waterfall is sprinkled like rain, there is a spring on the top of the mountain, this place, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, several years of siege, as long as the mountain does not run out of food, it is almost impossible to overcome。

Shao Yan sighed that this place is dangerous, with everyone up the mountain, after three walls, before entering the core of the mountain, built by the mountain, the houses are numerous, there are heralds to greet, said that the old lady set up a banquet in the hall, everyone took a short rest, washed and changed clothes, gathered in the hall, in the hall, has put down the banquet, the old general's wife personally greeted, Han Zhong for Shao Yan and the old lady introduced each other, Shao Yan held the junior ceremony to meet, the old lady politely helped up, thanked Shao Yan for his help, welcomed into the hall and sat down, during the banquet, everyone tried their best to keep Shao Yan's master and apprentice in Yuehu Mountain, Shao Yan promised to stay in the cottage for a while。

After the banquet, Shao Yan's master and apprentice were led to the courtyard arranged by the cottage, there were already servants waiting, the servants were instructed to say a few words, each retreated, Shao Yan came to the main hall, Lin Yunrou asked: "Sir, stay here for the time being, I don't know how Mr. will act?" Shao Yan said: "Adapt." ”

"What's the explanation?" Lin Yun judo.

"We are here as a guest, and our host earnestly invites us to plan for us. However, how to plan depends on the owner's ambition. Shao Yan replied.

"What's the difference?" Lin Yunrou asked.

"If the owner is only using this as a place to settle down temporarily, it is enough to maintain the status quo. Otherwise, it depends on the size of their ambitions and sets their plans. Shao Yan did not hesitate and said directly.

Lin Yunrou sighed, no longer asked, as if she was thinking, Shao Yan had taught her in the mountains before, the hundred schools of thought, the strategy of governing the world, and the war strategy, mainly to broaden her horizons, those who cultivate the avenue, can not be rigid, where there is no way.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yunrou in the other room has entered the cultivation, Shao Yan is also sitting cross-legged on the bed, but the divine consciousness has swept out five or six thousand miles to envelop the entire Yilan Mountain Range, in the divine consciousness, the Yilan Mountain Range is like life, but in front of the eyes found an unexpected fact, after the Yuehu Mountain, surrounded by peaks, it is actually a gourd-shaped basin that is more than ten miles wide, among which there are farmhouses and fertile fields, the fields are nearly half, there is a road connected to the back of Yuehu Mountain, and then to the north, there is actually a path to cross the three peaks, and the last peak is guarded by soldiers in the hidden place, and there is no road under it, however, after crossing the dense forest down the mountain, the end of the jungle under the mountain is the vast grassland, which has reached the territory of the barbarians。 If the troops are sent from this, although they can not pass the cart, but the infantry cavalry can pass, during the war, it can be used as a surprise soldier, look at its arrangement, it is not a day, it seems that the old general of Ao Lei has already arranged, I don't know whether Yan [***] knows it or not.

Shao Yan inadvertently discovered the secret of Yuehu Mountain, but his original intention was not here, his divine sense carefully checked in the Yilan Mountain Range, and also found that some monk caves, but they were not any sects, at most there were only three or four people, and they were obviously scattered cultivators. Shao Yan's divine consciousness is very different from that of ordinary monks, and his divine consciousness is more in line with the natural way of heaven, and it can even be said that he can take advantage of the momentum of heaven and earth, when it is soft, it is like a gentle wind and drizzle, moisturizing things silently, and when it is fierce, it is like a thunderous and fierce wind. When the divine consciousness passed, none of the monks noticed the abnormality.

Soon, Shao Yan found the location of the Lingshu of the Yilan Mountain Range, the Lingshu was fixed, the map of the mountains and rivers appeared from the top of his head, turned into a virtual shadow, silently, passed through the room, above the Lingshu, up to the nine heavens, quickly became larger, enveloping the entire Yilan Mountains, taking its true form, obtaining its spirit, suddenly, in the feeling of the monks and demon beasts, the mountains shook, mortals could not feel a trace of abnormality, the monks left the house one after another, the demon beasts roared, Lin Yunrou also felt all this, however, she knew that the master was ingesting the spirit of the mountains and rivers again, no longer paying attention to it, and sinking into the realm of merit.

The map of the mountains and rivers turned into a ray of light again, and returned to Shao Yanzi's mansion silently, and the monks did not find any clues, and returned to the cave mansion one after another.

The next day, after breakfast, Yahuan came: "The old lady and the young lady are invited!" Shao Yan and his apprentice followed the people to the meeting hall, the old lady, Aurelan and Yuehu Mountain's generals and strategists were all waiting, Shao Yan and his apprentice gave the old lady a salute, and the old lady asked: "Mr. and Miss Qing'er had a good rest last night?" Shao Yan replied: "Thank you Madame for your concern, you have a good rest." ”

After the old lady introduced Shao Yan and everyone one by one, she said: "I invite you to come today, it is about the future of our Yuehu Mountain, Mr. Xu has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and I also ask him to give us advice." ”

Then, Shao Yan introduced the situation of Yuehu Mountain, Shao Yan then understood that a few years ago, a military doctor under the old general Aole Lei strayed into Yuehu Mountain in order to collect a special medicine, and found all this, including the territory behind the mountain, reported to the old general, the old general sent a special person to investigate, and found that this place can not only hide soldiers, but also surprise soldiers, in order to keep secrets, it was not reported for the time being, and soon after, they were betrayed and martyred, and they came here.

Shao Yan saw that the other party sincerely asked for advice and told his secret, so he was not polite: "Old lady, here, Xu Hongzu wants to ask you, do you settle here temporarily, or do you take this as the foundation and do a career?"

The old lady asked, "What is the difference between the two?"

Shao Yan said: "If you only settle here temporarily, internally, everything can be maintained as it is, and externally, look for an opportunity to rejoin the Yan army." If you want to build a business based on this, you need to plan well. ”

The generals listened to this whisper, and the old lady also waited for everyone to discuss the results, and it could be seen that the old lady and Aurelan were also a little uncertain, Lin Yunrou whispered to Shao Yan: "Sir, you are too direct. Shao Yan also replied in a low voice: "If you can't even determine your future positioning, then how can you make a career." It's not to force them, to have a good result, the direction you choose now is very important, just like you, if it weren't for your persistence, your firm choice, I wouldn't take you as an apprentice. ”

Most of the people want to build on this and want to make a career. Shao Yan saw that everyone had made up their minds, so he no longer covered it up, and said directly: "Those who become a career have the right time, place and people." When the day, the general trend of the world, when today, the Son of Heaven is cowardly, the power of the ministers is autocratic, the candidates are ready to move, there are corrupt officials rampant, thieves are rampant, the livelihood of the people is extinct, the chaos has appeared, there is a barbarian threat in the north of Yan country, the south is on behalf of the country, the people are not happy, there will be chaos in one or two years, this chaos will affect Yan country, and Yan country, there are also corrupt officials and tyrants, thieves are everywhere, in this case, stick to this mountain, reclaim the wilderness, when you can save your life in the troubled times, but to create a career is insufficient, it is necessary to lay out in the front. ”

Shao Yan paused for a moment, saw that everyone was listening carefully, and then said: "This mountain is dangerous, this is geographically advantageous, but the side is still safe, but it is unfavorable to want to develop greatly. Harmony, you have come together because of the injustice of the old general, but compared with the people in the world, the number is too small. In a word, now, you have more than enough to protect yourself, but you are not enough to achieve great things. ”

Han Zhong saw Shao Yan stop, stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what is the great cause you are talking about?" It can be seen from his eyes that he has a certain ambition.

Shao Yan said with a smile: "Due to geographical restrictions, it is impossible to achieve the imperial cause, but at the critical moment, there is great hope for choosing the master, determining the north, and splitting the soil and sealing the marquis." As soon as these words came out, he saw that the eyes of such generals lit up, Shao Yan sighed in his heart, for the generals in the world, it is indeed a great temptation to be a marquis. Seeing the expressions of the generals, the old lady was heartbroken, and she also made up her mind, putting aside her previous desire to return to the Yan army, so she no longer hesitated and said, "Sir, how can we achieve a great cause?"

Shao Yan saw everyone's fiery eyes staring at him, thought for a while, and said: "If you want to achieve a great cause and be qualified to become a force in the world, you must have enough money to support it, and you can reclaim the mountains behind you, and you can be self-sufficient in food, but the weapons and armor and other materials needed by the army must cost a lot of money, and you must open up financial resources." There are three sources of finance, one is to engage in business, the second is to join the army, and the third is to subsidize. For businessmen, cottages need to have special personnel in other places to do business, establish their own business system, provide financial resources for cottages, and also collect information from all over the world for cottages. Soldiers, robbery is also, however, can not be aimed at the common people, send cavalry to the north to plunder the rakshasas, not only to train the army, but also to get benefits, not for the death battle, only for profit, as the barbarians to me, it is rumored that there are many bands of thieves around, reel and subdue, not only increase the population, but also get the wealth it hides. These two fighters killed three birds with one stone, not only trained elite soldiers, but also gained wealth and a good reputation. Funders, the rich and wealthy people in the private sector help each other, and we need to have a good reputation and be able to ensure the safety of one party, so that someone can send it to the door. This is a source of wealth. ”

"The source of wealth is only one aspect, and the other is to build prestige. The old general sacrificed his life for the country, and when he wrote about his deeds, let the businessmen take them to various places, and secretly invited the storyteller to speak, strengthen my prestige, and make the people of the world mention us, all of whom are great heroes for the country and the people!" Shao Yan said this, and those generals were full of red on their faces, as if they had become famous all over the world.

"The third is intelligence. First, for the general trend of the world's intelligence, the cottage selects personnel to go into various places to do business, and at the same time collects intelligence and develops intelligence personnel in the local area, and the information is quickly transmitted back to the cottage in a cryptographic way, and the cottage sets up special personnel to analyze the information for decision-making. Second, it is necessary to strengthen the training of intelligence spies in the military so that they can accurately and quickly send back intelligence. Shao Yan thought of this experience, because of an intelligence mistake, he almost missed a big event, and glanced at Han Zhong, who obviously also thought of this experience and couldn't help nodding.

"Fourth, internal adjustment to adapt it to strategic ......changes," Shao Yan also analyzed the adjustment of the army and the adjustment of logistics. After analyzing everything, Shao Yan stopped and took a breath. Everyone was born in the army, how could he have heard this kind of comprehensive surname analysis with modern education on the earth, and Shao Yan can be regarded as well-read, and he didn't feel that he could do this, and his confidence increased greatly, and the old lady sighed: "I heard from Lan'er and General Han yesterday that Mr. has the ability to stabilize the country, and I still don't believe it. ”

Shao Yan hurriedly said: "The old lady has won the award, the old general Aurore is the model of my generation, what I did was just to save the people of the world in the coming troubled times." ”

Subsequently, everyone talked in detail about how to establish a business system, how to collect intelligence, how to train the army, and so on, although Shao Yan had no practical experience, but a large number of living examples in his previous life made him easily to the point, and everyone admired him a lot.
