Because of this, it can be said that it is inevitable for the two groups to quarrel, and this is exactly what Lin Fengjin wants to achieve.

For Lin Fengjin, King Lu Yu had already known about his talents. Therefore, for Lin Fengjin, the purpose of the provincial examination was just to win, so what if he came first in the exam? Instead, it was in vain to attract people's jealousy.

So I simply wrote such a highly controversial paper.

Youdao is the first in Wenwu and the second in Wuwu. The famous Lin Fengjin ranked thirteenth in the exam. The twelve people in front of him must have nothing to say. Of course, they will not jump out and talk about partiality.

Cheating will not cause the tree to grow big and attract the wind.

And precisely because of the controversial nature of Lin Fengjin's papers, people who support him will scold the examiner for being unfair and blind to the truth. Even those who don't agree with Lin Fengjin's views will secretly praise the young man in his heart.

Personality, even in a moment like the provincial examination that determines the fate of life, you dare to stick to your own point of view, and you are not afraid that if the examiner does not like your point of view, you will directly reject it.

In this way, no one can guess the truth of the matter. Who would have thought that Lin Fengjin's thirteenth name was obtained by cheating? And the person who helped him cheat was the monarch?

Time passed quickly, and it was already September in the blink of an eye. During this period, the wealth Lin Fengjin brought back was quickly consumed, and more than half of it was filled into the black hole of Wu Zuocheng. Not only did he replace the broken Shenwu crossbow

After that, an additional two hundred double-shot divine weapon crossbows were added.

At the same time, Wu Zuocheng's large number of caravans also had an obvious effect. An astonishing number of war horses were exchanged. Everything was lacking on the grassland, except cattle, sheep and horses. Therefore, Wu Zuocheng's cavalry was quickly rebuilt. And the prisoners of war were

Beacon towers were built within a radius of five to six hundred miles, and a sufficient early warning system was established.

Koshihikari Lotus Mist Rice has also made new progress, with higher yields. Varieties with smaller requirements for spiritual energy have been developed. Lin Fengjin thought about it and called it Xiguang Lotus Mist Rice. Of course, this kind of Xiguang Rice

The rice grains grown from Koshihikari rice are definitely inferior. No matter the taste or aura, they cannot be compared with those grown from Koshihikari rice.

However, this thing is carefully cultivated and grown. The spiritual energy contained in it is completely different from those ordinary excellent rice. It can be expected that as long as this thing is released,

.You can definitely sell it at a good price.

Therefore, Lin Fengjin made a simple decision to plant Xiguang lotus rice on a large scale in the current acres. As for Koshihikari lotus rice, he only planted a small part of it. The purpose is naturally to pay tribute and eat for his own family. It is not necessary at all.

For external sale.

After the Xiguang Lianwu rice has been stored in a certain amount, it will be ready to be fully rolled out, making it famous at once, and then priced far away from other grains. Naturally, it will not be different from other industries.

There was a conflict.

While Lin Fengjin was planning his fortune-making plan, the war in the Central Plains was also raging.

Youdao is that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. The East China Sea Allied Forces indeed advanced with great success at the beginning, and they were pursuing and fighting fiercely. They were unstoppable. Later, the big city of Lianzhou County was also attacked by them, and they had a strong tendency to conquer the city and seize the territory.

Under this series of victories, the contradictions within the East China Sea Allied Forces gradually emerged. When they came to attack before, they were walking on thin ice fearfully, intimidated by the reputation of the great power in the Central Plains. But now after the tentative attack

, but suddenly realized that this seemingly formidable and terrifying big country seemed to be just that big. It was actually a paper tiger, so I became proud and conceited in my heart.

The right way is to share adversity but not wealth. Once the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.

The alliance between the countries in the East China Sea is very fragile. Moreover, they are attacking each other and have blood feuds. As soon as the external pressure is gone, internal problems such as uneven distribution of spoils and accusations of the other party's inability to work hard will immediately appear.

Waiting for the sound, this thought is spent more on fighting internally and less on external matters.

At this time, the Nanzheng King Fu family, who had suffered the most severe abuse, spotted the opportunity and set up an ambush in Li County, Haixi County, ninety miles away from the coast. They spotted the wood and weapons that were most needed by the East China Sea countries at this time, and

Use this as bait to lure it to attack Li County in Haixi County.

At this time, the countries in the East China Sea came with the power of great victory, landed forcefully, and besieged Li County. However, they discovered that they had been tricked after they invaded Li County. Nanzheng ambush troops came out in droves, and the siege of Li County was even more severe.

Instead of attacking, the enemy was deliberately attracted to come to the rescue. This is the famous "siege and rescue" tactic in the art of war.

As a result, while the trapped East China Sea Allied Forces in Li County were still looking eagerly at the reinforcements, what they were waiting for was news of the defeat of the reinforcements. Not only that, even more than half of the ships they came on were captured!

Because although Nanzheng seemed to be divided at this time, King Jing also realized the truth of the death of lips and teeth. This time, they not only sent a large number of troops to assist King Fu, but also persuaded the Witch God to dispatch to deal with the Su Wo envoys on the East China Sea Allied Forces ships.

This battle was called the Battle of Shili County. In this battle, the East China Sea Allied Forces suffered unprecedented and shocking losses. More than 120,000 soldiers were captured or killed, and 31 priests were killed.

More than 70% of the ships in the D battle zone - the most terrible thing is that if these ships are destroyed, more than half of them will be captured by the opponent. This is a trade-off.

Problem.

After the Battle of Li County, the four invaded Central Plains countries also made a series of counterattacks and responses. Generally, the East China Sea Allied Forces were careless and underestimated the enemy. Although they did not suffer the disastrous defeat of Li County again, they added up to a small amount, and suddenly there were many

There were casualties in varying numbers, and the cumulative figures were staggering.

The East China Sea Allied Forces suffered a serious setback in just a few months, which Lin Fengjin had not calculated in advance. Even if the East China Sea Allied Forces could continue to send reinforcements from China, it goes without saying that the soldiers who died would

They must be the most elite and well-trained group, and those who will be supplemented later must be leftovers from the first deployment of troops, so the combat power of these additional sergeants can only be imagined.

Under this situation, Lin Fengjin's heart was a little worried.

Why? Naturally, I am worried about Wu Zuocheng.

He had previously calculated that during the strategic stalemate, the East China Sea Allied Forces would probably consider attacking Wu Zuocheng. And there were four good reasons:

First, I can successfully pull out this disgusting nail.

Secondly, we can get a good harbor,

Thirdly, you can train troops during siege warfare.

Silai Wu Zuocheng does not belong to any of the four countries, so there is no need to worry about its reinforcements.

It stands to reason that Lin Fengjin's calculation is very reasonable, but he underestimated one thing, that is, he overestimated the sustainability of the East China Sea Allied Forces, and at the same time underestimated the impact of the crazy counterattacks of the four Central Plains countries in the recent period on the East China Sea Allied Forces.

of damage.

Especially in the Battle of Li County, the East China Sea Allied Forces penetrated ninety miles inland. First, the main force was surrounded in Li County. The subsequent siege and reinforcements drained the opponent's final counterattack ability, and even took away the ships.

More than half! And this is just a superficial phenomenon. What Lin Fengjin didn't know was that among the 120,000 people lost, more than half were the elites of the Land of the Rising Sun. After the loss of these people, the combat strength of the entire Kingdom of the Rising Sun

It should drop by at least one-third.

Not only that, during this battle, two of the eight ghosts under the command of His Highness Tianlu, the commander of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, were killed again. In addition, Ya Gui Ce, who had been angered to death by Lin Fengjin before and vomited blood, and the other two who died in Shangmao.

Damn it, only three of the eight generals under his command are left. The loss of middle and low-level generals will bring a sharp reduction in the army's combat power, which will also have an extremely far-reaching impact.

At the same time, after this battle, the power of the Country of the Rising Sun rapidly depleted. It was no longer the dominant force before and needed two or three countries to unite to compete. As we all know, it is best for the army to have only one

Voice, and now that the Land of the Rising Sun has lost its ability to dominate the battle, the disputes within the East China Sea Alliance have begun to rapidly become larger. And although they suffered a disastrous defeat at this stage, they can also be said to have gained something.

The bowl is full. The heart is satisfied.

In the past dynasties, it was because of excessive expropriation that the people had no food to eat and would starve to death, so they rebelled angrily. The East China Sea Allied Forces had already returned with a full load. Because of this, the full tigers lost their deterrence.

In addition, at the beginning, the East China Sea Allied Forces were advancing with great enthusiasm, and they regarded the heroes of the Central Plains as nothing. However, now, after suffering heavy losses, they really felt that they were overkill, and they felt that the Four Kingdoms of the Central Plains were just

I was careless for a moment, but if I showed my true strength at this time, I would definitely not be my opponent.

Under such circumstances, when His Highness Lu proposed that all the countries jointly send troops to attack Wu Zuocheng, especially the three countries of Black Tooth, Bo Ni and Lu Ju, which had suffered heavy losses under Wu Zuocheng, became very negative.

They feel that the Land of the Rising Sun is really full!

If the Cave Bay Camp had not been abandoned before and the barrier defense line was still there, then they would still be interested. Now that they have finally moved to a new camp, you fucking said you are going to fight again! Fighting that one is very eye-catching even if you look at it.

Don't people die in this ghost place? Doesn't it consume materials? It seems as easy as just sending a few hundred people to conquer it?

Besides, if we go to fight now, even if we win, who will own Wu Zuocheng? Could it be that your Country of the Rising Sun encountered a tough problem down there and suffered a big loss, so you want to reach out to our No. C theater?

Fuck your mother, when you first made a lot of money in the prosperous Jiangnan, why didn't you hit me when you were eating so much that your mouth was dripping with oil?

Moreover, at this time, the East China Sea Allied Forces were used to plundering wealthy areas, and their vision was also high. Looking at the grasslands, they would feel that they were deserted, desolate, and without any oil or water.

Therefore, a group of people naturally had objections. Seeing that the alliance had been completely disorganized, His Highness Tianlu of the Land of the Rising Sun, even though he was graceful, was livid with anger. He just wanted to put aside these short-sighted bastards and himself

Lead the troops to defeat Wu Zuocheng.

However, at this time, although the Country of the Rising Sun was still a powerful country, it was no longer what it used to be, and it would no longer be as prosperous as before.

His Highness Tianlu is confident that he can capture Wuzuo City with the power of one country, but he is not confident that he can capture Wuzuo City at a small cost. The countries in the East China Sea have been attacking each other for hundreds of years, and they all have blood feuds with each other. It is like a pack of wolves.

The wolf was seriously injured and ended up being eaten by its own kind.

If His Highness Tianlu really insists on having his own way, then this matter may become a big deal. You must know that he has three or four brothers who are watching covetously and are ready to pull him from the position of crown prince at any time.

Therefore, after Lin Fengjin gathered all kinds of intelligence and analyzed the true purpose of the East China Sea Allied Forces, he felt relieved and knew that there would be no threat to Wu Zuocheng in the short term. He hurriedly ordered the Sanli Department above the grassland to do the same.

When I returned, my energy was severely damaged by the previous war. Now I want to replenish my economy.

Fortunately for people, the most looted thing from the Kuokongwan camp was food. Wu Zuocheng and Sanlibu alone would definitely have enough to eat and drink. It happened to be the snowstorm in the grassland last year. Food is a precious thing.

It's incomparable. It's considered hard currency compared to gold and silver, so it can be vigorously developed.

Speaking of which, after passing the imperial examination, there were many roads to take in Northern Qi. To put it in a more fashionable way, life was extremely exciting.

Juren means that they have already stepped into the official career. Next, most people will take the Jinshi exam. If they win the Jinshi, they will be assigned official positions.

Of course, if you fail the Jinshi test many times and are really exhausted physically and mentally, you can seek positions such as general judge, tongzhi, prefecture tong, county magistrate, chief registrar, etc. To put it bluntly, these positions are not top leaders, but they are not

It is the kind that connects the past and the next, and can fish in troubled waters.

If the Shangguan is weaker, he can even act like a fox and a tiger, and run rampant across the land, his majesty will definitely be great.

Even those who neither want to be admitted to the Jinshi nor want to be an official can just enjoy the happiness at home. Even if their family was extremely poor before, there will naturally be people who contribute to the one hundred acres of tax-free land under Juren's name.

I am willing to be a slave so that you can have food and clothing without worries.

For Lin Fengjin, this is really not a big deal. He is running around outside at this time, and it is a bit difficult to calm down and study to recuperate. In the past half year since returning to Xiangdu, only two

The best thing I learned was that one night in August, there was a thunderstorm, and I accidentally killed Fu Min'er who slipped into his arms. But later, when Lin Fengjin thought about the details more, it was a bit wrong.

However, although Lin Fengjin was a bit slanderous, he had long regarded Fu Miner as a forbidden concubine who was not allowed to be touched by others. It was only a matter of time before that relationship was broken, but it felt like it was a matter of course, and the two had a breakthrough.

After the sexual relationship, Fu Miner liked to cling to Lin Fengjin even more. Lin Yuanwai was anxious to hold his grandson and wanted the Lin family to get rid of the nightmare of three generations of single inheritance. Therefore, although he knew that it was inconsistent with ethics, he turned a blind eye.

Eyey.

At this time, another good news came from the grassland.

The Sanli tribe fought against one of the three major tribes on the grassland, the Dayan tribe, by the As River. They defeated the opponent's coalition army of 60,000 people and captured countless gains!!

Since the withdrawal of the East China Sea Allied Forces, the Sanli tribe, which has a large amount of food, has used food as bait and gifts to rapidly expand. This new Huairou expansion method can be said to be unfavorable. Almost no tribe can resist such a temptation.

More importantly, the expansion of the Sanli tribe is based on a very loose economic alliance. It does not require the other party to join as its vassal tribe, nor interfere with any of their activities or internal affairs. The only requirement is to follow the new rules every year.

Increase the number of livestock and pay a certain proportion of cattle and sheep tax.

He also told these tribes that the payment of cattle and sheep was based on a surplus. If there was no surplus, the payment would be exempted. At the same time, if the alliance traded in Wu Zuocheng, they could enjoy discounted prices.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the membership model that Lin Fengjin borrowed from the memories of his previous life:

Pay a certain membership fee to enter, and then enjoy VIP discounts based on your membership status.

Of course, we are just launching the entry-level VIP now, and we will gradually subdivide it in the future.

Because a large number of tribes on the grassland were lured by the Sanli tribe and joined the alliance, the Dayan tribe intuitively sensed the threat and directly killed the two small caravans sent by the Sanli tribe, cutting off their human and horse heads.

Three Beijing temples were piled up.

The Sanli tribe marched out boldly and fought with the Dayan tribe on the banks of the Asi River.

You know, after the previous battle, the sergeants in the Sanli Department were like tempered steel. Both the cavalry of the Sanli Department and the heavy shield infantry led by Zhang Lei were already considered elite.

, and when they went out for this battle, they used these troops as the backbone to expand the army massively, selecting soldiers from captured prisoners and herdsmen, and expanded the army to more than 30,000 people in one go.

Because most of the captives absorbed are soldiers from the East China Sea countries, there will never be a significant decrease in combat effectiveness.

Lin Fengjin could even conclude that the combat power of these more than 30,000 men was no worse than the men and horses under General Guangfeng Shen Can or General Hengbo.

By the Asi River, the Sanli tribe formed a formation, with the infantry as the front, and the cavalry protecting the two wings, allowing the Dayan tribe to attack.

At this time, the Sanli tribe was in the territory of the Dayan tribe. If the Dayan tribe could keep their composure, the infantry would march thirty miles every day to attack the Huritu grassland, the birthplace of the Dayan tribe. Therefore, they were not afraid

The Dayan tribe would not take the bait, not to mention the grassland peoples, who have always been ruthless and unstoppable.

As a result, the Dayan tribe suffered a big loss as soon as they charged. It turned out that when they were halfway through the charge, the rows of sergeants in front of Sanli suddenly dispersed, revealing eighty divine crossbows lined up!

These Shenwu crossbows are all installed in the carriages of carts. The terrain of the grassland is flat and there is no obstacle to travel. They are the latest repeating crossbows. Under the salvo of eighty Shenwu crossbows, it can be said that people are on their backs and their horses are rushing forward.

It can be said that the fourth and fifth rows of cavalry all seemed to have hit an invisible wall and died tragically on the spot.

After two volleys of eighty Shenwu crossbows, they were dragged back. At this time, the infantry guarding the central army seemed to be peeling off eggshells, and finally faced the cavalry.

The only way to do this is to form a large car array that stretches across the city wall!

This cart is usually used to carry the infantry's food and baggage to save the soldiers' physical strength. Once they find that the opponent's cavalry is about to attack, they will simply beat it horizontally and turn it into a car formation! And this car formation does not look like a city wall.

It was completely sealed off like that, but three to four hundred large vehicles were scattered scattered on the battle formation, leaving many gaps that could be entered.

In other words, under such circumstances, since the Dayan tribe's cavalry has a way to go, they will definitely not be stupid enough to directly hit the cart. Therefore, after rushing into the car formation, they will inevitably slow down.

As soon as the cavalry slowed down, its power was reduced by at least 70%.

Next, these slowed down cavalry faced the heavy armored infantry commanded by Zhang Lei with steel swords in their mouths and heavy shields. The cavalry equipment of the Dayan tribe was originally very crude. After losing the impact of the horses, they faced

It is difficult to even break through the defenses of heavy armored infantry, so the end can be imagined!

After the Dayan tribe realized something was wrong, they hurriedly ordered the forwards to withdraw. As a result, the Sanli cavalry protecting the two wings immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue them, and immediately killed the man with blood flowing into the river and heads rolling in. Even Lin Fengjin sent

The giant mechanical beast sent to break the formation was not used.

After this battle, the Sanli tribe had clearly become a rising upstart on the grasslands, and the production of the tribes that made a living within the Sanli tribe's sphere of influence was more than enough to support Wu Zuocheng's trade.

For Lin Fengjin, the rapid expansion of the forces in Sanli under his control is a great thing, but he also has a big worry in his heart at this time, that is, his strength can be said to be completely stagnant.

If it is not broken every day, then your own strength will be stuck at a fatal bottleneck.

Therefore, after Lin Fengjin thought about it, it can be said that it is imminent to pass the barrier. At this time, at the last barrier of the Qichong Gate, when Lin Fengjin went to Xirong and his party, he already knew that he should look for the tea ceremony master.

The son of Dao's boss, it is very likely that the key to breaking through the barrier lies with her.

The son of the boss is a title in an ancient family. It is passed down from generation to generation. It is similar to "patriarch" and "elder". It does not refer to a specific person.

The crux of the matter is that the Sons of the Dong family has always been anonymous, and it can be said to be extremely well hidden. Even with all the efforts of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was no trace of this family. Fortunately, Lin Fengjin also knew a very secret.

The thing that happened is that the contemporary son of the boss actually got involved with his mentor Mr. Jiuyuan. The two seemed to have an unexplained bad relationship. (To be continued)
