I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

Despite the repeated strict orders of the governor of Jingxiang, the fire on the fourth day of April still spread like wildfire, arousing all kinds of weird conjectures in Padang County.After the fire, people were already panicked, but the strange incident of the tortoise bone bursting the day before stirred up emotions.However, within a few days, rumors spread rapidly from Padang County City, exaggerated all the way, and even gradually shaken the morale of the army.Rumors gradually turned into a turmoil. Although the generals of the various armies tried their best to suppress them, dozens of heads were beheaded, and the morale of the army was not stabilized in the end.

At this critical time, Wei Xiao kept his sense of Jiangmen's family biography, after all, he was not disturbed by the fire.Over the past few days, he has thought carefully, knowing that it is impossible to force the rumors under the current situation, and to indulge and let go is tantamount to waiting for death, which may trigger a mutiny camp; gossip.

For this reason, Wei Xiao made up his mind, and ordered people to seize all the collections of prefectures and counties in four counties, searched for countless jewels and curios, and sent them all by light boat to the south bank of the Yangtze River, the seat of Zhao Zhi, the prefect of Jingzhou.Such a sincere surrender regardless of the cost, the effect between the contacts is really like a god.The prefect of Jingzhou replied with a pen, and the address had been changed to "subject".

Jingzhou's control of the throat of the main stream is enough to prevent the Southern Army's navy from rushing to help.In this way, the major events will be settled, and the Northern Army will cross the river without interference, and the natural moat will turn into a thoroughfare.As soon as the matter of surrender was finalized, Wei Xiao would order that the matter be widely reported.Sure enough, the morale of the troops was greatly boosted and the army's morale was stabilized, and the rumors gradually disappeared invisible.

So far, the morale problem has finally been resolved, and the southern county guards have waited and watched, and the hearts of the people are shaken, and the opportunity to fight has undoubtedly been revealed.Wei Xiao didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately sent a letter to Jingzhou, informing Zhao Zhi that he was ready to welcome the Northern Army to go south.At the same time, he ordered tens of thousands of letters of surrender from the prefect of Jingzhou to be copied, and they were sent all over the south of the Yangtze River to shake people's hearts;

The atmosphere in Jiangling City suddenly became tense.

Ordinary people are ignorant of it, they only know that the patrols and controls in the city have unknowingly become much stricter, and when they go out to buy vegetables, drink wine, or even cook and light fire, they will always come up to question them.However, a small number of indigenous people (represented by Yi Cheng, Du Heng, etc.) who were close to the time-traveling team sensed something was wrong from the increasingly hasty whereabouts of the "nobles".They didn't dare to open their mouths to ask, but they knew clearly in their hearts: I'm afraid, the big one is coming!

Of course, the nervousness of the crossing team is quite justified.Since Xiang Liang made the final decision in the meeting and made the decision to "face the enemy head-on", their various reconnaissance, analysis, and speculation have not been interrupted.But after a few days of busy work, there were not many pieces of news that made people feel relieved.

They photographed the camps, equipment, and supplies of the Northern Army, which were arranged in a neat and orderly manner, showing that the commander in chief was by no means mediocre, and that the offensive was indeed fierce and unstoppable; they also photographed the large number of ships mobilized by Jingzhou to support the Northern Army. Judging from the quantity, the number of people crossing the river is at least [-]!

"More than [-]." Mu Chen sighed at the meeting: "How much money—how much ammunition."

It's a bit funny to say that it's actually a bit funny to think about a few ammunition before the battle.But this is the key point that the traversers have been discussing repeatedly for several days, but they have been unable to make a decision. After Xiang Liang's public speech a few days ago, Mu Chen immediately stated that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and they must win at any cost.But soon after Bei Yan handed in a document, he poured cold water on the hot-headed duang.

——Without him, the money is almost gone.

Since the crossing, the reconstruction and restoration of Jiangling City, as well as the economic operation, have all been Mu Chen's unilateral expenses; and the recent successive wars have drained Mu Chen's budget like running water.The so-called cannon fire is golden, not to mention that in order to adapt to the environment after time travel, all they bought were professionally modified special weapons...

According to Bei Yan's estimate, if the scale of this decisive battle is not controlled, Mu Chen's account may be blown up by overspending items on the spot.Account overspending is tantamount to breaking the rules of the system.He himself will be sanctioned by the system immediately. ——As for many natural resources such as rhenium ore, in the current situation of such a shortage of points, it is purely far away from water and cannot quench their thirst. They have no way to exchange with modern times at all.

After hearing the news, Mu Chen froze for a while, and finally sat down slowly, not daring to mention anything at any cost.

With such brutal budgetary constraints, military resolutions become quite difficult.Seven meetings were held in two or three days before a rough draft was finally finalized.

However, from Mu Chen's point of view, this draft is still too extravagant... After all, it's his own money.

Even so, he didn't dare to say anything more.After all, Xiang Liang and the others have been upset about this for two whole days. If Party A, who doesn't know what is good or bad, compares more, I am afraid that he will have to taste the taste of military boxing.

Mu Chen sighed, and finally picked up the brush, ready to sign.

——At this moment, he heard the familiar beep from the system.

Mu Chen's expression changed slightly.

·

According to the rules drawn up before crossing, the system will only issue a warning when encountering plot characters or major changes in the main line.Now it is the internal meeting of the traversers, and of course there will be no plot characters.Mu Chen recruited the system to see what major changes were, but there was only a brief reminder on the pop-up light screen:

【Fuling King】

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and each frowned—this clan prince who has a close relationship with mustard mustard is Mu Chenyuan's own uncle. .After the chaos was quelled, the imperial court was extremely weak and had no choice but to resign and courteously win over powerful officials.This patriarchal family Yiqin has thus risen straight to the top.According to Guo Zhao's account, the King of Fuling is now the commander-in-chief of the Southern Dynasty Navy, holding more than half of the Southern Army's strength.

The identity of such a character is of course closely related to the main line.But precisely because they are too relevant, it is difficult to guess the details of the changes.

"...Fuling King." Liu Ming said, "What happened to him?"

Mu Chen shrugged his shoulders, saying that when he put it on Yuanshen, he would stay behind closed doors, and knew nothing about it except that this nominal seventh uncle was fond of poetry and books.

Wang Zhi thought for a moment, but gave some information: there was also a King of Fuling in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the official history, but it was Xiao Baojuan, a famous foolish king who played too much, and he obviously had nothing to do with this King of Fuling.

So everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all lost their thoughts.

Under such circumstances, Mu Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and used the few remaining points, and cast a precious point to let the system provide more information.This time, the system responded very quickly and quickly gave a reminder.However, information is priced by points, and if one point is divided, of course it can only be exchanged for the most vague numbers:

【The Way of Civil and Military】

Everyone present was stunned.Mu Chen felt the anger of being deceived in an instant!

But no matter how angry you are, you can't get points back.Everyone could only be in a daze around these four words.Obviously, these four words are basically invalid information. It seems that they can only look at each other, but looking at each other, Dr. Wang Zhiwang suddenly frowned.

"Mr. Mu." He said slowly, "That King of Fuling... is your uncle?"

Mu Chen was a little surprised, so he could only repeat: "Seventh."

Dr. Wang frowned even tighter:

"What's his name?"

This question is quite complicated. Mu Chen raised his head and thought for a while before finally answering:

"He—his name seems to be Xiao Bo? But I don't know... my strange emperor brother has given nicknames to all the clans, and he is only allowed to call the kings by their nicknames inside and outside the court, making fun of them wantonly. This Fuling King's cousin It's called 'stare-eyed sheep'."

Wang Zhi's brows gradually relaxed, but a very obvious trance look appeared on his face.After such a long silence, he suddenly widened his eyes, as if thinking of something extremely terrifying.

"—'The way of civil and martial arts, tonight!'" He said every word, as if he squeezed out a voice from his throat, and squeezed out a voice from his teeth: "The prototype of this King of Fuling is—— Damn Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi!"

After saying this, Wang Zhi fell back and leaned back on the chair.The expressions of the people around changed immediately, Bei Yan pondered for a moment, then answered in a low voice:

"Reading thousands of volumes, is there still today?"

Wang Zhi bowed his head for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

Mu Chen glanced around in a daze, and finally let out Caibi's whine: "...what?"

"...Silk is silk. Add an eye on the sheep, and add a silk on the left side, which is the 'Yi' in the official script." Wang Zhi rubbed his face and said in a low voice: "The prototype of this King of Fuling is Emperor Liang Yuan. Xiao Yi. Emperor Liang Yuan was fond of reading and collected countless classics. Chengsheng was defeated by the Wei army in three years and was trapped in Jiangling by the Yuwen family of the Western Wei Dynasty. With nowhere to go, Emperor Liang Yuan was angry and burned down the southern dynasty for hundreds of years. The 14 volumes of books collected painstakingly, claiming to be - claiming to be 'the way of civil and military affairs, tonight'!"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi's throat was choked with depression, and he almost choked on the spot.He breathed out, and then continued in a low voice:

"These 14 volumes of books have been accumulated by Jiangnan for hundreds of years. Almost-almost, after the possession of characters, more than half of the Chinese dictionaries for more than a thousand years, and countless rare and rare books have been burned since then, and have become extinct. Since ancient times The Huaxia——the Huaxia culture is almost completely wiped out..."

He closed his eyes and shook his head, finally unable to speak.Everyone looked at each other, but they were silent,

The burning of books in Jiangling was an unprecedented tragedy in Chinese culture. Emperor Liang Yuan destroyed countless rare and peerless documents in one torch.Trauma is only a drama, and it is still above burning books and burying scholars.If you just read history books through words, you can probably control your heartache.But now that the danger of burning books is almost at hand, it is no wonder that Wang Zhi's mood is hard to contain, and he is even sad.

... To put it bluntly, it is more cruel than punishment for a historian to witness the burning of books and rituals and such cruel cultural extinction.

Mu Chen was stunned for a long time before finally stammering:

"If——if the prototype is really Emperor Liang Yuan, then he should be besieged by the northern army, so he would burn the book in anger... But, now that the northern army is going south, and the main attack is also on our side, what does it have to do with King Fuling in Jiangzhou? Woolen cloth?"

He raised his head and looked around, expressing the doubts in his heart: "...my emperor uncle is the best at protecting himself wisely. Now that the Northern Army is so powerful, it is probably okay for him to send troops to pretend, but he will definitely avoid Fengrui and refuse to take a risk. A little risky."

This question was extremely simple, and Xiang Liang answered it directly.

"As the commander-in-chief of the navy, the King of Fuling will definitely transfer the army to make a gesture after the Northern Army goes south." Xiang Liang said, "Maybe he doesn't want to fight, but the North will not let him go. The main force of the Northern Army will not say anything." More than [-] people, but there were only [-] boats to cross the river on a large scale this time. Where did the others go? Now that Jingzhou has surrendered, we can follow Lu Meng's strategy and mix the elite soldiers of the Northern Army with the merchants to cross the river quietly. On the four sides of Jiangzhou. Once King Fuling leads troops to attack, the ambushes can take the opportunity to cut off the back road, and then attack back and forth to cut off the food road, and the situation will immediately get out of control."

As he spoke, he looked up at Duan Ke, and as expected, Duan Ke nodded accordingly:

"We recently discovered a large number of ships traveling between the two sides of the strait on the ferry in Jingzhou. The number is very wrong."

Bei Yan also opened his mouth to testify: "Rumours have spread in the city these days, and many refugees who have entered the city have heard that the governor of the Northern Army has invited the commander of the Southern Army's sailors to hunt in Jingzhou to see the strength of the Northern Army."

Mu Chen couldn't help being dumbfounded: Xiang Liang only had a few words, but he had already revealed the future trend - once the northern army went south, the King of Fuling must lead the army; once the King of Fuling went out, the ambushes on all sides of Jiangzhou would be launched immediately; But once the Southern Army was defeated, the King of Fuling could only be trapped in Jiangzhou, with no way to escape.At that time... what will be staged at that time must be "the way of civil and military affairs, tonight will be exhausted"!

This is indeed a huge change in the main plot, no wonder the system wants to warn.

He blurted out: "What should I do?"

·

The method is actually very simple.Xiang Liang quickly pointed out the key point—since the northern army's plan required the use of ambushes, it was sufficient to wipe out the ambushes in battle.The main force of the Northern Army is hoarding troops in Jingzhou. If there is no ambush involved, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with King Fuling.

"only……"

Xiang Liang looked at Mu Chen, but finally hesitated to speak.

Just to attack the main force of the Northern Army, the current budget will be stretched. If the ambush is also wiped out, there will be almost no room for the budget.

Sure enough, Mu Chen frowned.

"What about my uncle?" he asked.

Xiang Liang was stunned for a moment: "...what?"

"How does my uncle solve it?" Mu Chen said: "This kind of lunatic is completely uncontrollable. Do we want to keep those 14 volumes in his hands? With such a grand culture, how do we explain it to the country and the people? To put it bluntly, how can we explain it to history? Books are dangerous every day in the hands of such people. If there is a mistake, we will be smashed to pieces. We cannot bear this historical responsibility!"

This sentence is very straightforward, but it is precisely because of the straightforwardness that Xiang Liang hesitates:

"But……"

But if you want to add King Fuling to your target, you have to do everything in your power to make a thunderous blow, and the current budget will definitely not be able to support it!

Mu Chen shrugged.

"If you overspend, you will overspend." He said lightly: "Anyway, the system can't cause real harm to me, at most it will cause some physical pain... It's not a big deal."
