Isn't what Shen Chen drew on the ground the scene inside and outside Guixiao Mountain? There is a dense stone forest outside and a mountain of caves inside. Even the misty clouds and mist are outlined in it. Although it is just an outline of branches, the dangerous peaks of these mountains are Like a living thing, there is a feeling that it is ready to come out.

Shen Chen has copied many ancient paintings by famous artists over the years. Painting has long been popular with everyone, but now he can paint it with ease, which is naturally eye-opening.

Who would have thought that a little kid could have such superb brushwork. What surprised the generals was not only the majestic and mysterious style of his painting, but also the fact that the mountain scenery was not randomly sketched, and the sand table in the camp was The scenery is exactly the same.

The sand table has existed since ancient times and is an indispensable prop for war. It is based on soldiers' reconnaissance, drawing of terrain maps, and then shaping it with sand to reduce the geological conditions in an area to the plate. It is a combat sand table. .

The sandboxes now in the camp are the result of soldiers' painstaking efforts and years of detailed reconnaissance. It requires extremely high memory to reproduce them in an in vitro manner.

However, the few strokes of this young man were exactly the same as the scene on the battlefield. In other words, his familiarity with the entire scenery of Guixiao Mountain was not inferior to that of other soldiers.

This alone makes people unable to help but be surprised. After all, there are only rough records of the mountains surrounding Qingchuan City, their terrain height, and their style in the county treasury books.

But everyone didn't know that the reason why Shen Chen was able to draw the scene of Gui Xiao Mountain was actually due to the volumes of books in the study room of Shen Mansion.

The ancestors of the Shen family were transferred to Qingchuan three hundred years ago and have taken root here ever since. Although the Shen family has always been small in number, many of the children in the family are intelligent and have held county officials for generations, such as county magistrate, county magistrate, chief minister, etc. Almost all of them have served as Tingbu, Shaofu, Chief Secretary, etc., and a few have even served in the county. This point alone is unique in the entire Qingchuan City.

As a family of officials, it is natural that they have a rich collection of books. In addition to a large number of copies of history books in the county treasury, the ancestors also spent a lot of money to purchase some volumes written by local literati, many of which have not been included in the county treasury.

There is also an ancestor who loves landscapes and is especially curious about dangerous places. He is also good at the art of fine brushwork, so he spent several years traveling around the mountains around Qingchuan City, taking in all the dangerous places at a glance, and using fine brushwork paintings in books. above.

Later generations continued to write this book, filling in the gaps, and thus it was perfected.

Shen Chen had seen this book when he was a child and had never forgotten it, so it was natural for him to draw it.

After the scene of Guixiao Mountain was completed, Shen Chen said: "The two major problems in passing through the mountain village are the stone forest on the periphery. The stone forest is composed of thousands of sword-shaped stone pillars. The stone pillars are tall and intricate, like a maze, and they have different meanings. There are few locations suitable for enemy ambush. The second is the Honeycomb Mountain inside. Although the mountain is not high, there are many strange peaks. There are countless honeycomb caves outside, crisscrossing the mountain, like a maze. It is impossible to find the specific location of the enemy's lair. Therefore, it is difficult to launch an attack, and the area is so vast that if the enemy wants to escape, there is no way to stop them, and if the enemy takes advantage of the terrain to make a sneak attack, it will also be a headache."

When he said this, he paused slightly, and all the soldiers listened in rapt attention. Unexpectedly, this young man had an extremely accurate grasp of the difficulties in attacking Chuanshan Village. However, this did not mean that he would be able to find a way to conquer Chuanshan Village.

Then Shen Chen raised his voice and said: "The so-called war is basically a game between the enemy and ourselves, using our own strengths to attack the weaknesses of the other. After all, this is not a child's play. Every battle involves the lives of brothers. Then we can either strengthen our own advantages or eliminate the enemy's advantages. The advantage of Chuanyun Village lies in its terrain. With two hundred soldiers in the county, it is simply impossible to destroy it with manpower, so we will Look for its weaknesses!"

"What are the disadvantages of crossing a mountain village?" Chief Marsh couldn't help but feel curious. As soon as he spoke, he felt that he had made a mistake. With the county lieutenant and the assistant officer there, there was no room for him to speak. He glanced at the two of them quickly, but I felt relieved when I found that Yuan Tie and his two men didn't mean to blame.

Just listen to the young man say word for word: "The biggest disadvantage of Chuanshan Village is the terrain!"

Everyone was confused by this statement. Since terrain is Chuanshanzhai's biggest advantage, how can it become its disadvantage? Isn't this a contradiction?

Looking at the confused expressions of everyone, Shen Chen smiled slightly and said, "Do you know why there is such a wonder like a stone forest here that is different from other surrounding mountains?"

"this……"

All the soldiers were stunned. They were all old men and knew very few words. They had no time to study this kind of thing. For them, the mountains were formed naturally and there was no intention to explore them at all. .

Shen Chen slowly said: "The plains, hills, mountains and plateaus all have different topographic appearances, which are landforms. The different landforms are due to internal and external geological processes, as well as complex climate, hydrology and even biological and other external factors. The landscape of many sword-shaped stone forests evolved over a long period of time shows that this mountainous area is actually a landform phenomenon called karst."

"Cast?"

Including Yuan Tie, more than two hundred people stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They felt that Shen Chen's words were like a heavenly book. They sounded like a mess in their heads. The more they thought about it, the more confused they became.

It's no wonder that what Shen Chen is talking about is geographical knowledge that is only recorded in modern textbooks. He loved to travel in his previous life, so he naturally studied geography a lot.

Shen Chen knew that it would be difficult for everyone to digest this sentence, so he continued: "Every landform has its own characteristics. Any area with such a large sword-shaped stone forest and a large number of strange peaks and caves is probably a karst landform. , and this landform is closely related to the erosion of water all year round, so there must be many underground caves and many underground river tributaries, and a very extensive underground water system!"

"You mean, there are a lot of underground rivers underground?" Yuan Tie was the commander-in-chief after all. Compared with other people who were confused, he finally captured the important point in these words.

Shen Chen nodded and asked, "Have you ever heard of the name 'Long Shui'?"

Everyone was so shocked by Shen Chen's heavenly words that they had not yet come to their senses, but they did not think it was nonsense. After all, they were all martial arts practitioners who followed the path of military generals and did not worship the generals. I have learned articles from my husband, but many people don't even know a single big character. They just think that what this little kid is talking about is the knowledge taught by my husband, and they feel more and more profound. When they hear this, they all shake their heads.

The scene at this time was extremely weird. There were two hundred adults standing there. Let a little kid talk here, and no one would believe him even if he said it. And what kind of effort is needed to be able to express his opinions so freely in front of these officers and soldiers? Confidence requires a lot of momentum.

To the soldiers, the method of momentum taught by Yuan Tie requires years of practice to achieve success, but the young man is born with momentum, and he can shock everyone with his eloquent talk.

Shen Chen said loudly: "After I confirmed the landform conditions here, I searched the history books and found that there were many records of underground rivers in history, and one of them, the underground river named 'Longshui', aroused my interest. And after reading a lot of history books, I finally sketched out the places where the dragon water flows."

After that, he picked up the branches and drew a winding river on Guixiao Mountain, branching off branches seemingly at random, and then passed through Guixiao Mountain.

"This is..." Yuan Tie's eyes suddenly lit up, and the generals were also shocked.

Shen Chen smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, this dragon water just passes under Guixiao Mountain, and it is not a tributary, but the largest middle stream. And according to historical records, someone once discovered it deep in the cave in Guixiao Mountain. There are traces of this underground river, and when you follow the underground river, you arrive outside the stone forest of Guixiao Mountain, where there is a deep pool."

"Isn't that deep pool the Chishui Pool in the north?" Marsh Chang trembled and blurted out subconsciously.

Shen Chen nodded and said, "It's Chishuitan!"

Marsh Chang did not expect that he had guessed correctly, and was stunned for a moment. Yuan Tieze asked in a deep voice: "Where is Chishui Pool?"

Marshal Chang quickly replied: "Your Excellency, Chichitan is a deep pool near here. It is deep in the valley and few people know about it. My father is a hunter. When he took me hunting when he was a child, he once mentioned that the Chichitan was overflowing with water. Red, it is said that there is a dragon living inside, so no one dares to go down."

"Little kid, what do you mean to say that there is an underground river leading to Guixiao Mountain under the Chishui Pond? The river is flooding this autumn. Even if what you say is true, how can human beings be able to cross it if the river is so turbulent? "Yuan Tie asked in a deep voice.

Shen Chen replied seriously: "Sir, in the past few hundred years, the records about Longshui have long disappeared. I am afraid it is because the climate in Qingchuan has become warmer and the rainfall has decreased, so the underground river water is not as big as before, so this matter has long been dismissed. People have forgotten it. Therefore, even if there is water, it cannot stop us. Moreover, there is a river in Qingchuan. I believe that all the soldiers are good at swimming and will not be afraid of this underground river."

All the soldiers nodded, quite confident. They all grew up playing by the river. Although they dare not say they are good at water, ordinary lakes cannot stop them. As long as the underground river water does not reach the top, there will be trouble. method.

"Sir..." Dong Jiu whispered, his meaning very obvious.

Yuan Tie thought for a while and nodded. He knew very well that if the facts were true as the young man said, it would indeed be a great opportunity to defeat the bandits in the village. If not, that would be fine. In short, he listened to this with magnanimity. A young man's words will not damage his dignity.

"Find a few people who are good at swimming and rush to Chishui Pond immediately." Dong Jiu ordered, and soon he gathered a few people who were extremely good at swimming. The most powerful one could hold his breath underwater for a cup of tea.
