A family of military and banditry. The reason why soldiers work so hard to capture cities and seize territory is because they can loot the people and make a fortune after the city is broken. It often happens that soldiers who are red-eyed continue to slash and kill with their swords when they break the city. In many cases, the general cannot stop it.

If your soldiers receive benefits, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for you next time?

Massacres of cities occur from time to time, whether the whole city is massacred or part of it is massacred, it does not make much difference to ordinary people.

Zhang Mo replied, "Of course it's a little bit because Liu Bang slaughtered less people, but it's mainly because Xiang Yu did something wrong."

"What's the matter? He has done a lot of wrong things." Lu Bu said.

"The political structure of the rebels in the late Qin Dynasty has always been to respect 'Chu', but Xiang Yu not only massacred the city, but also killed King Huai of Chu. Liu Bang could use this as an excuse to legitimately attack him, and Xiang Yu also lost the hearts and support of the people.

The support here not only refers to the people's support, but also to the aristocratic families, nobles and other forces."

Aristocratic family!?

After experiencing his dream life, Lu Bu still had some understanding of this group. They controlled the promotion of talents, and controlled most of the population and land. The reason why Dong Zhuo was so angry later was because he had no money, no food, and the court was poor.

If it jingles, the family will be rich.

Dong Zhuo also tried to please the aristocratic family, but the aristocratic family simply looked down on them, a group of Xiliang barbarians. He also tried to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but it didn't work at all, unless he could slaughter all the aristocratic families in the world, and Dong Zhuo obviously did not have this strength.

The support of the family is crucial to success or failure.

Zhang Mo continued, "Besides, as I said before, people sometimes have to learn to pretend. No matter Liu Bang is sincere or fake, he never regards himself as a superior ruler when he conquers the world. Whenever he has free time, he will

Going to the countryside to talk to the people about their daily lives and caring about their lives is also the key to winning the hearts and minds of the people."

"In short, there are many reasons for winning or losing, but sometimes it also depends on luck. Liu Xiu is an emperor who is extremely lucky. I can't finish it in detail for several days. That's it for now. I'm talking to you today.

Think about it again."

Zhang Mo looked at the sky and stood up, "One more thing. My adoptive father will not be at home tomorrow. I plan to skip school due to illness. You accompany me out of the city. Time is tight. Let's leave early."

"What are you doing out of the city?" Lu Bu recovered from her words.

"You will know tomorrow. I will go back first."

Lu Bu said, "I'll give it to you!"

Zhang Mo waved his hand, "No, it's not dark yet!"

She walked a few steps and then looked back, "By the way, remember to bring two shovels."

Looking at Zhang Mo's walking back, Wei Xu suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, have you discovered a problem?"

"What's the problem?"

Lu Bu turned to look at him. The boy had a thoughtful look on his face. Could it be that he had realized something important?

Wei continued, "When Amo mentioned Gaozu and His Majesty Guangwu, he always called them by their first names, without any hint of awe in his tone."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then realized that it seemed to be the case.

"Perhaps it's because she was just a commoner before being taken in by Wang Yun and didn't understand etiquette and dignity!"

"Then why does she understand so many truths? What she said today is clear and well-founded. I feel that the teachers who taught me how to read in the past may not be able to speak as well as she does. She must have read history books carefully."

"Perhaps she thinks it's easier to call her by her first name. There are only three of us here anyway, and no one else can hear us, so it doesn't matter."

Lu Bu returned to the house with the bamboo slips in hand, wrote down everything Zhang Mo said, and thought about it carefully again. He felt that he had gained something.

…

The next day, Zhang Mo came to see Lu Bu early. Lu Bu had already fed the horse and was waiting for her at the door.

"What on earth are you doing out of town?"

Zhang Mo said, "I want to explore the location of the mining area and learn to ride a horse."

After returning to Jinyang, Xu Chu and others also became busy. Not only did they have to help the Wang family train, but they also had to take classes. Although they had a good relationship with Zhang Mo, they were also restricted by the Wang family, but Lu Bu was different. This was what Zhang Mo tried hard to recruit.

One of Lu Bu's reasons.

As for riding a horse, she had to learn this skill in ancient times when there were no other means of transportation.

Lu Bu said, "You can't learn riding a horse in a day and a half. If you do this, you will be caught sooner or later."

Zhang Mo said indifferently, "As long as I am not caught by my adoptive father and he finds out that I am not at home, it doesn't matter. I am still a child. What child doesn't like to play, so I just sneaked out to play, and I have completed all the homework assigned by my husband."

It's very good, he can just say a few words and settle the matter."

Since the last time the post house proposed a plan, Wang Yun has become more and more doting on Zhang Mo, so she dares to be so confident.

"What do you usually study?" Lu Bu picked her up on the horse and asked casually.

Zhang Mo counted on his fingers, "Classics and meanings, piano music, singing and dancing, nvhong, calligraphy. There used to be etiquette and rules, but I have already started training in this. I should be able to start teaching calligraphy and classics in a while. The other three

The teacher is Mei Niang, she is on my side and I can cheat."

Wang Situ really raised A Mo as an actress. Looking at what A Mo has learned, even His Majesty's concubines have not learned as much as she has. This old man has been dismissed from office, what else does he want to do? Could it be that he wants to send A Mo into the palace?

How can he gain power by using his identity as a foreign relative?

Lu Bu snorted coldly in his heart, Wang Situ is really not a good person, but Amo treats his family as relatives.

Lu Bu turned over and sat behind her, and the two rode together to the outside of the city.

When Zhang Mo went to deliver a thank-you gift to Lu Bu that day, he took a look at the scenery outside the city. Judging from the buildings, Jinyang at this time was completely different from that of later generations. Many small streams and rivers had been silted by sediment for more than a thousand years.

Whether it was diverted or dried up, there was a big difference. She could only judge the location of the mining area based on the position of the mountain.

She pointed to the west and said, "Let's go over there."

Lu Bu took her for a trot and asked, "Will you learn now?"

Zhang Mo looked at the horse without a high bridge saddle or double stirrups. The horse's balance depends entirely on clamping the horse's belly with both legs. It is not that difficult to learn. She shook her head and said, "I'll modify the saddle and learn again someday. Let's learn it today."

Go find a mine."

"What does this have to do with the saddle?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

"The relationship is..." Zhang Mo suddenly stopped talking. Lu Bu may compete with Dong Zhuo in the future. The Xiliang cavalry is already awesome enough. If they are equipped with these two things, wouldn't it mean that they are invincible in the world? She also fights

A piece of wool!

"It doesn't matter, I just think this saddle is not very good and I need to get a better one." Zhang Mo said perfunctorily.

Lu Bu was speechless. To learn a horse, you need to have a good saddle. After all, he was trained by a noble family. Even if he is just an actor, he is still more sophisticated than ordinary people.

Zhang Mo didn't continue the topic. She looked at the map of Jinyang in her hand for a while, and then looked at the distant mountains. She pointed to two distant mountain tops and said, "Over there."

"What are you looking for?" Lu Bu asked doubtfully.

"A thing that can burn is called coal. I remember there seems to be a coal mining area nearby. Let's go and have a look."

Lu Bu hugged her waist tightly and shouted softly, and the trotting horse started galloping, kicking up dust all the way.

It was like running to death while looking at the mountain. The mountain looked not far away, but it took more than an hour to actually reach it. I originally looked at the two small hills, but when I got there, they looked very majestic and spectacular.

These two mountains belong to the Taihang Mountains. Going further, there are more continuous peaks. There are rivers gurgling from the mountains. There is a village not far below the mountain. It is late spring and hundreds of acres of wheat are growing outside the village.

It became a vast ocean with green waves.

Except for this fertile farmland, Zhuangzi was surrounded by vast wastelands and slopes. Zhang Mo asked Lu Bu to take her around the area a few times, comparing the distance of mountains and rivers, and roughly deciding on a location.

She took off two shovels from her horse and handed one to Lu Bu, "Come and dig."

Lu Bu said, "There is the coal you mentioned below? How can you tell?"

"I will judge whether there are coal mines underground based on Feng Shui." Zhang Mo made nonsense.

"Do you still have this ability?" Lu Bu looked at her with a smile, "Then look where there is a gold mine. Wouldn't it be better to just dig for gold?"

Hearing his mockery, Zhang Mo continued to make nonsense without blushing, "I can only look at coal mines."

As she said that, she began to dig the soil. She remembered that in her previous life, she saw that this big hole was only six or seven meters deep. With Lu Bu's help, it shouldn't be difficult to dig out such a deep hole.

Looking at her small arms and legs, Lu Bu rolled up his sleeves and took off the shovel from her hand. "Watch from the sidelines. I'll dig it. I'll dig it for you in a while."

So Lu Bu, the driver, acted as an excavator again.

Zhang Mo couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw that he was digging holes faster than a gopher. This man killed cattle and was so good at digging holes. If the shovel were bigger, he could be as fast as an excavator.

The first pit was quickly dug to about seven meters, but there was no trace of coal at all. Lu Bu joked, "Mr. Feng Shui made a mistake in his judgment!"

Seeing the sweat on his head, Zhang Mo smiled sheepishly, "Mistake, mistake!"
Chapter completed!
