Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 321 3 Twenty Heaven-defying Artifact
Once upon a time, the Cai family was the largest collection of books in the Han Dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cai Yong was questioned and his family fell into decline.

Later, the ten tribes in Guanzhong rebelled, and the once important area of ​​​​the capital became the most chaotic place in the world. Even the Xiongnu went south to get a piece of the pie, and countless precious classics were burned to the ground.

However, the largest collection of books in Han Dynasty now has a new name, Ziyang Academy.

When the six counties of Xuzhou were recovered in the early days and the three counties of Huainan were acquired, although fresh blood was continuously introduced here, it was far from being called a great book collector.

Even if Cai Yan came later and added more than four hundred new books with his amazing memory, after all, he could only compete with the background of some great Confucian families.

What really brought about a qualitative change here was the capture of Beiguo and the removal of more than 5000 books from the Yuan family in Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou. At this point, Ziyang Academy has become the well-deserved number one book collection in the world.

Originally, the attraction of books to poor scholars was already strong enough. With the expansion of territory and the growth of strength, the number of people in Ziyang Academy has increased in the past two years.

It's a pity that Lin Mo has never been able to put down the war at hand to manage internal affairs. Most of the talents who go out here can only do some writing and document writing. Those with a little foundation may be able to become county magistrates, but this is already a county magistrate. Up to the sky.

The positions higher up are all occupied by people from major aristocratic families.

However, this matter is not something that should be dealt with at this stage. In the final analysis, whether it is Ziyang Academy or the Zhen family, they are all trump cards used to deal with the world's aristocratic families.

Now, Lin Mo just came here for a inspection and to understand the situation of the academy.

When he was bored, he would pull out the white rainbow and dance with Zhao Yun for a few laps.

"If you are really interested, Meng Qi will come back tomorrow and ask him to teach you. His techniques are very powerful."

"Is it better than you?" Lin Mo smiled.

"In terms of pure swordsmanship, I am no match for him." Zhao Yun admitted freely.

Lin Mo just curled his lips and passed the time. He had long known that with a physique like his own, due to the low upper limit of his strength, if he met a master who was both internal and external, no matter how brilliant his swordsmanship was, it would be nothing more than a show, and he would be instantly defeated. The man fell down.

Even the warriors in the army can be defeated by him.

"Master Marquis, Governor Liu has arrived and is waiting in the council hall." While chatting, a sergeant came to report.

Lin Mo nodded and looked at Zhao Yun, "We will set off in a few days, get ready."

"clear."

Prepare, that is, prepare to say goodbye to Cai Yan.

When he returned to the council hall, Liu Ye and several old masters from Huainan quickly bowed and said, "I have met the Marquis."

I have some impression that these people are the county magistrates of Jiujiang.

"I heard that after breaking out from Shouchun, you didn't even stop in Changfeng to rest and then rushed all the way to Pengcheng. Are you in such a hurry?" After sitting down, Lin Mo took a deep breath and prepared to spend time with them.

As expected, the four county magistrates began to denounce Lu Zijing for not being a human being. First of all, he sat back and ignored the fallen Lujiang and insisted on attacking Guan Yu.

Let's just fight, and they lost the battle. In the end, hundreds of thousands came to the rescue urgently, but were manipulated by Jiangdong's tired army's strategy all the way. The local defense battle was pinned to the ground by Jiangdong, who did not have the advantage in military strength. , resulting in the fall of Lujiang and Jiujiang one after another. It is expected that Anfeng will also change hands soon. This crime cannot be wiped away.

The four people were talking so much that they started spitting, but they almost didn't say, "Please chop off the head of this beast."

Finally, Liu Ye came to a conclusion, "Lu Zijing was ordered to serve as the supervisor of the Anfeng Army to protect the defense of the three counties. However, he made one mistake and made another mistake. He will be severely punished for the crime of defeating the army and the loss of territory!"

"Lu Su is really shameless. When I get to Changfeng, I will definitely punish him severely. He will definitely have no chance to hold the position of prefect again." Lin Mo cursed, hating the iron that cannot be transformed into steel.

After hearing this, the four county magistrates nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, you have worked hard for coming all the way. You should go and rest first. We will return to Jiujiang with the army in a few days. I will take back the lost ground."

"Here."

The four of them turned around and left together. They glanced at Liu Ye, who was stuck in the same place. They thought they would leave knowingly if they still had something to say.

When only two people were left in the council hall, they all smiled knowingly.

Liu Ye spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Forgive me, Lord Marquis, but you also know that the feud between the Huainan scholars and the Xuzhou scholars has been going on for a long time.

When Chen Yuanlong was abandoned, many people clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that they had finally driven away this outsider. Who would have thought that Lu Zijing would come again.

But then again, Zijing's defeat is a fact, and the handling this time was extremely inappropriate. It is true that the three counties of Huainan can no longer be retained. "

Of course Liu Ye is a bit wealthy, but he is still an honest person at heart.

After all, his status as a descendant of the royal family is real, and his gold content is much higher than that of Liu Bei. No one has ever thought of using this golden name for personal gain.

When he came this time, he was probably worried that he would hold a meeting with Lu Su when he went to Changfeng, which would make the Huainan Gang angry. It was considered a good intention.

"You and I haven't seen each other for a few years. It's such a mess when we meet. There's no need to be so reserved. Let's sit down and talk."

Lin Mo smiled, and then said honestly, "Actually, you know that if Lu Zijing leaves, someone else will naturally take over. Letting you stay in Huainan was really meant to appease people.

But now, you can't coddle them as you did before. They have been quite obedient these years. Don't force me to deal with them like the rotten people in the North. I think it will give you more headaches. "

Liu Ziyang, who is not considered to be a member of the family, can be called a veteran after all. How could he not understand the methods of Marquis Lanling? He came here helplessly. He spoke the truth and showed his sincerity and position.

He ignored the elegance he had cultivated over the years and said with a wry smile, "How about letting Mr. Gongtai pass?"

Seeing that Lin Mo disagreed, he added, "You can learn from Yuan Shu and pretend to be the governor of Yangzhou."

"You've already made the plan." When it comes to balancing, I always feel that Liu Ye is better than me.

Chen Gong was allowed to govern the three counties with the official position of Yangzhou Governor. At the same time, the original prefectural powers had to be handed over to them.

Despite the checks and balances of the three mutual laws, after all, the Huainan Gang was able to stick together even if they were not colluding, and several counties took turns to exploit the loopholes in the court's laws.

"What are you talking about, Lord Marquis? Mr. Gongtai has followed Marquis Wen for many years and has worked hard and made great achievements. Even Zuo Rong can jump to the rank of governor. Mr. Gongtai should take the lead." Liu Ye explained bitterly.

"Actually, that's what I mean." The Huainan Gang's xenophobia is one aspect, and it's also a reality that they don't deal with Xuzhou scholars.

Chen Gong is not from Xuzhou, and with his status as a member of the team that started the business, how can ordinary people dare to stroke his beard in front of him.

"The Marquis is a wise man." Liu Ye flattered silently and felt a huge stone fall in his heart.

"I'll show you something cool."

In Lin Mo's opinion, the Balance Family seemed to be more troublesome than a battle of wits. He didn't want to say anything more and took Liu Ye out.

Along the way, the two stood side by side but were slightly silent.

It seemed that the relationship that had not been close to each other since they had not seen each other for several years had become even more unfamiliar. Liu Ye didn't care what he was going to see. He thought it would be better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone to explain some things.

"Anfeng has become an isolated city. Hao Zhao leads [-] troops alone. There will be no crisis for a while. The Marquis should send troops quickly while Sun Ce is not attacking, so as to appease the hearts of the soldiers and the people.

Sun Ce, who had lost many people in Guangling, dared to attack boldly. I guess he wanted to drag Lord Marquis into the mud. Since Marquis Wen was in the west, Cao Cao took advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains to launch a massive attack, forming a two-line pincer attack. situation.

I estimate that it will take Cao Jun three months at the earliest to start a war in the Central Plains. Therefore, the key to this counterattack is not to attack one city or one village, but to lure out the troops from Jiangdong.

It is best to attack Lujiang directly from Changfeng. Wankou Ferry is their only escape route, and Sun Ce dare not not rescue them. "

"Very good, very good." Lin Mo kept walking, as if he was talking about something insignificant or even irrelevant to himself.

"Oh, by the way, after Sun Ce captured Lujiang, he went to the Qiao family once to ask Duke Qiao to marry him, but Duke Qiao didn't agree."

Lin Mo was laughing, but Liu Ye didn't dare to laugh. This matter was really Huainan's top priority. He explained: "When the Marquis was in the north, Duke Qiao had thought about marrying Er Qiao to the Marquis, but at that moment There were frequent wars and we were not allowed to see each other, so we were delayed again and again.

Now that I have met the Marquis this time, there should be an explanation for this matter. "

"There's also the good thing about the buy-one-get-one-free deal at this stall. How about kissing you Ziyang? You must have done your best in this matter. I won't make up for the matchmaking wine later."

"Master Hou, I'm serious."

"me too."

Of course Liu Ye didn't understand what Lin Mo was thinking, he just felt that he was becoming more and more confusing.The Qiao family, who were extremely ambitious, took the initiative to get married. They knew with their toes that it was for the benefit of the Huainan Gang.

What a beautiful thing, but you people have to be involved in an impure relationship. Lin Mo feels unhappy when he thinks about it.

To say that they are good, Ling'er and the Dark Queen are better. After all, people are pure emotions without any impurities.

People are like this. For impure things, they always feel that the beauty in their hearts has been tarnished by others, which is annoying.

That is to say, for this guy Liu Ye, if it were another person, Lin Mo would be able to give him a thumbs up.

"What is this?"

"It's amazing!"

"Those miles away feel like we are right in front of our eyes. There is such a magical thing under the sky. It's so good."

"With this magical object, the scouts' reconnaissance on the future battlefield and the general's observation of the battlefield will get twice the result with half the effort."

After seeing the telescope, Liu Ye was so hooked that he couldn't put it down and looked around. He couldn't stop praising the telescope.

"In the early years, the Marquis's curved shaft plow, keel waterwheel, glass lamps, fertilizers, etc. have all opened my eyes to me. Today I see the Marquis's skills, and I am very excited."

Like a child. Lin Mo found it a little funny.

The manufacturing of the telescope is really not difficult, and it only takes a few days to be polished.

But more than a month has passed, and the scope has really not made much progress.

That thing is too difficult. It requires reflection imaging and cross-hair aiming. The difficulty is increased by more than a hundred times.

Now, Lin Mo felt a little relieved. He found some of the best craftsmen in the military camp, told them the general principles and then left it alone. Whether it can be done or not depends entirely on God's will.

You can write a letter to your old father-in-law later. The most famous craftsman in this era is undoubtedly Ma Jun. He is also an inventor and a native of Fufeng, but it is unknown whether he is in Fufeng now.

The old father-in-laws on the left and right are also in that area. If you look around, you can find some who can be of some help.

"This thing is good, but once it is lost, the enemy can use it immediately after picking it up. This can be considered a drawback." Lin Mo crossed his arms and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, there are still relatively few opportunities for scouts to be left alone." In fact, Liu Ye agreed in his heart, but his speaking skills were quite high.

Seeing that Liu Ye seemed to have opened the door to a new world and didn't even look at him when he spoke, Lin Mo had no choice but to retreat and sit on the chair in the examination room, and his mind began to wander.

The technology tree is something that you either don’t climb, or you can’t climb it until it makes the thunder louder and the raindrops softer.

I think back then, whether it was the curved shaft plow, the keel waterwheel or fertilizer, when these things came out, it would be no exaggeration to say that they were shocking.

This telescope can be of some help, but it seems a bit useless after all.

Regarding the gunpowder problem, Lin Mo is already making it, and the proportions are getting closer to perfection.

But it's still the same old problem. I haven't found a replacement fuse. Now I want to use it. The biggest difference from the kerosene jar is that its explosion power will be greater. But without the fuse, it can't be overwhelming. After all, it's missing. flexibility.

The lead problem cannot be replaced by others, so Lin Mo can only think about it seriously by himself.

However, after calming down during this period, I still thought of a few inventions that could influence the situation of the battle and at the same time have high feasibility.

Two, one is a parachute with extremely high risk factor.

Later generations of parachutes had extremely high material requirements. They were not only resistant to pulling, but also fire-resistant, something that ordinary fabrics simply could not achieve.

The only way Lin Mo could think of was to use silk woven fabric to increase the thickness. Of course, high temperatures did not exist, but silk was satisfactory in terms of strength.

Military parachute ropes used to use silk, but now they have been replaced by umbrella materials. You can try it first. After all, silk is relatively close to the requirements of parachutes in terms of strength and quality.

The prototype has been drawn and sent to Xiao Guan.

Xiao Guan also has his own military examination office that can manufacture them, and Lin Mo also provides craftsmen for them.

The biggest consideration in sending him to Xiaoguan is Gao Shun's trapped camp. If the Central Plains and Cao Cao are defeated, he should be more likely to deal with areas with more mountainous areas such as Sichuan and Jingzhou.

At that time, the parachute comes in handy, and at the same time, they must be infantry who are proficient in mountain warfare. In this regard, no branch can compare with the trapped camp.

Of course, Lin Mo also stated in the letter that he would first use death row prisoners or sergeants who had committed the death penalty under military law to try it out, until a finished product that can truly carry the human body is released, and then the trapped camp will gradually become more proficient.

This process will take a long time, so you still have plenty of time.

As for the second item, it’s the hot air balloon.

The idea of ​​a hot air balloon comes from the fact that after the gunpowder is produced, there is no fuse, and no one knows how to use it. If it can fly to a certain height, it can be thrown down.

Well, I think the effect will be incredible.

At the same time, some cliffs can also be overcome with hot air balloons.

The principle of a hot air balloon is the same as that of a Kongming lantern or a Yunwen lantern, which expands and contracts with heat.

Unlike parachutes, the material of hot air balloons has strict requirements for heat resistance. Because of this, this plan is still in the research and development stage.

However, unlike a parachute, which requires high strength and light weight, it should be easier to find a replacement if it simply requires heat resistance.

The most troublesome thing is not the material of the umbrella, nor the fuel, nor the bamboo basket, but the fuel.

The burning material used in later hot air balloons was fire cloth, a kind of fire-resistant cloth that could continue to burn after being contaminated with gasoline.

Is it available in this era?

some.

The earliest record of Huo Huanbu was in the era of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty. When he was in charge of Xirong and returned with great victory, the King of Xirong personally handed over two national treasures, one was the Kunwu Sword and the other was Huo Huanbu.

This is recorded in "Liezi Tangwen": When the fire cloth is dirty, wash it with fire instead of water. Just throw it into the fire. When the cloth burns red, the dirt will fall off, and the cloth will be as clean as new, like snow. Just as white.

Xirong at that time was the so-called Western Region in this period.

There should be nothing wrong with this direction, because according to later records, Cao Pi once scorned Huo Huanbu after he ascended the throne, thinking that it did not exist at all.

Until later, there was such a piece of cloth among the tributes paid by a certain country in the Western Regions. The fire could not burn it away, and it was still as strong as before.

At the same time, the fire-huan cloth of later generations was indeed extracted from asbestos mines in Xinjiang.

All these clues prove that the materials Lin Mo needs can be found in the countries in the Western Region.

After the old father-in-law has taken over Sizhou, he will also have to deal with Liangzhou. When the time comes, he will search according to the picture, and there is a good chance that he can find this kind of fabric.

As long as this thing can be brought back, the research and development of hot air balloons can be successfully put on the agenda.

Once these two artifacts come out, it is an exaggeration to say that they will completely subvert the battlefield, but they will definitely give Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce a new understanding of the concept of surprise weapons.

Thinking about Zhuge Liang and the others' stunned faces when they saw it, Lin Mo felt very satisfied.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The army began to march.

There are not too many soldiers and horses, [-], but the generals are absolutely blinding. Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Yu Jin, Xu Sheng, plus Yan Liang Wen Chou in Changfeng City and their [-] troops, regardless of the number of soldiers and horses, As for quality, it can crush Kodong.

There are 6000 people, and the Jiangdong in front of him can support [-] people. In addition, there are no cavalry. Lin Mo is not a proud person, but he doesn't know how he lost.

If there are other ideas, it is that I hope to keep Sun Ce.

Sun Quan is dead, and there is only one Sun Yi left in the Sun family who can take over.

But his prestige is far inferior to that of Sun Ce, and he is not as good as Sun Quan in his scheming of the city. If he takes over the great cause of Jiangdong, Wu of Wei, Shu and Wu can basically be abolished.
