Chapter Ninety-One Chat

Military battles have always been called military formations. Especially on the frontal battlefield, where tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides clashed, this was not just a group fight on the street, a random fight. Only a mob fights indiscriminately. The real emphasis of the army is on the military formation. In addition to the level of sophisticated equipment and the level of training of soldiers, whoever can use the military formation like an arm and a finger will have an absolute advantage.

This is also an important condition that distinguishes them from strong generals and commanders.

The army is originally a collection of people who gather their strength to kill, and this is why military formations were born.

However, in the final analysis, the essence of military formation is nothing more than training. Let thousands of people live and die together, and develop a considerable tacit understanding, advance and retreat in unison on the battlefield, and kill together, so that the commander can use his arms and fingers to achieve the effect of destroying the enemy and destroying the country.

The mystery of the mortal military formation stops here, there is no mysterious and mysterious truth.

However, the principles of the Five Elements Boxing Sutra were the finishing touch, adding something extraordinary to the military formation.

Although the Five Elements Boxing Sutra is just a martial arts technique for mortals, this boxing sutra was not created by a mortal, but by Zhao Yu, a monk from the Immortal Family. To say it is a martial arts technique is to belittle it. The real secret is actually the method of establishing the foundation of immortality.

Although it is said that due to his nature, it is difficult for tens of millions of people to find a monk. But when the Five Elements Boxing Sutra is combined with the five elements, there is a principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint. Although it's just scratching the surface, it still makes sense.

As Zhao Yu said, unknowingly, the application of the Five Elements Boxing Sutra in the army has been consistent with some of the mysteries of the formation.

Of course, if Zhao Yu didn't point this out to him, it might be difficult for them to find the real beauty in it for hundreds of thousands of years. Although Dian Wei feels that he can mobilize the power of his soldiers, if the five elements of his soldiers are unbalanced and without the blessing of the array diagram, it is just a feeling and cannot be realized.

Cao Mengde's doubts inspired Zhao Yu to come up with many new ideas.

He said: "To realize the principles of the Five Elements Boxing Sutra in the army, the formation diagram is the key. Without the formation diagram, no matter how tacit a understanding the army has, the soldiers can sense each other and can advance and retreat together, but it will never be possible to stand up. When setting up a large formation, you cannot concentrate the power of the entire army on one person. But if the formation can be established, it can be broken. As long as you know how to break the formation, there is nothing to fear."

Zhao Yu said, even more thinking in his mind: "In this way...I will refine a set of five-element formation flags, and use the power of the magic weapon to break their mutual induction, and the formation will be broken without a doubt."

He said: "Mengde, find me some good silk that can weave five three-foot-wide pennants and flags, as well as spiritual trees... Forget it, you will definitely not find the spiritual trees. I'll think of a way. You Find the silk, and I will refine a set of magical weapons for you. With the magical weapons in hand, even the Five Elements Army Formation can be broken with a single swipe."

Cao Mengde was so happy that he immediately responded without mentioning it.

For Cao Mengde, the original doubts were completely resolved at this time. Although there are advantages and disadvantages, since the disadvantages can be solved and only the advantages are left, what else is there to worry about?

Then the chat started.

Cao Mengde said: "It is no better now than before. High-yielding and improved seeds have long been spread in Yanzhou. Although it has annexed two states and several counties in one go, there will not be a shortage of seeds. In the past six months, Wen Ruo and I have been busy keeping our feet on the ground, especially in Yanzhou. I have a lot to worry about when it comes to farming. Fortunately, Wen Ruo is a talented person and has jujubes, otherwise I would have scratched all my hair off."

"What about the roads?"

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Transportation is the key. The more convenient the transportation, the stronger the government's dominance. When encountering emergencies, the faster the response. As for commerce, it also circulates. The various benefits are indescribable. Farmers Business is the foundation and business is communication, both are indispensable.”

"I know this." Cao Mengde twisted his beard and said: "It's a pity that cement production can't keep up. I plan to build three roads first. Starting from Puyang, one goes east to the sea. One goes south to the river. One goes west. , until Hangu Pass."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Build the main trunk first, and then take your time later. When the road stretches into the countryside and extends in all directions, tsk tsk..."

Cao Mengde couldn't help but be fascinated by it: "This is the foundation of a prosperous age!"

Xi Zhicai also sighed: "If it extends in all directions, with the end reaching the countryside and being connected to the main highway, you can go wherever you want. I don't know how convenient it will be."

"It will take at least five years." Cao Mengde was a little helpless: "There are only three trunk lines, which add up to more than ten thousand miles. It is not easy. It will cost a lot of manpower and material resources."

“Set a plan first, and just implement it accordingly. It will eventually come true.”

Zhao Yu said: "Farming is like a person's muscles, and roads are like a person's blood vessels. Only when the roads are smooth and the blood flow is unimpeded can a truly prosperous age be brewed."

Zhao Yu originally wanted to say something about industry, but when the words came to his lips, he held back. Industry and other things are still a bit far away for the time being, so let’s not talk about it. When the time comes, it will develop naturally.

"By the way, in terms of farming, high-yielding and improved seeds are fundamental. But agricultural tools such as waterwheels are also indispensable. There is still potential to be tapped in this area."

Cao Mengde nodded repeatedly: "That's what you said, sir. You probably don't know, but in the more than a year since you left, craftsmen have invented several tools that can help with farming. Plows, harrows, etc." At this point, Cao Mengde smiled. Full of interest: "He also invented a threshing machine."

"oh?!"

Zhao Yu was curious.

"It is a wooden leaf machine driven by a waterwheel." Cao Mengde explained in detail: "A log is inlaid with many fine wooden leaves. Use the waterwheel to push it to buzz and rotate, and hold wheat ears on it, and you can Wring out the grains of wheat!”

Zhao Yu laughed. Isn’t this a threshing machine? Although it is the most primitive threshing machine, as long as the craftsmen can come up with these, more convenient and powerful machines will surely emerge in endlessly in the future.

The Xia people have always been wise and industrious. As long as the conditions are met, what can't be invented? !

Cao Mengde left the next day, and Xi Zhicai stayed temporarily.

He hasn't recovered from his illness yet, so he shouldn't worry too much. The environment of the other hospital was suitable for recuperation, so Cao Mengde forced him to stay.

Zhao Yu sent Cao Mengde away with many emotions in his heart.

He himself was an introduction, bringing many wonderful seeds, and now these seeds have begun to take root and sprout.

It is conceivable that the more traces Zhao Yu leaves in this era, the more drastic changes this planet and the civilization on this planet will undergo. And this is exactly what Zhao Yu wants to see.

After the disciples' cultural class in the morning was over, during lunch, Zhao Yu suddenly said to Xi Zhicai: "Mr. Zhicai's stomach is full of history, and there is a gully in his chest. I feel sorry for myself. I'm afraid I'm a little busy these days. I dare to ask Zhicai Mr. Cai, can you teach these disciples like me?"

Xi Zhicai's face looked much better than the day before. After all, the environment here was different. Yuan Qi was abundant and his breathing was nourishing. His whole body felt much more relaxed. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's what you wish for."

So in the following period, Xi Zhicai took on the responsibility of teaching cultural courses to Cao Ang and other ten disciples.

With Xi Zhicai’s wisdom, teaching these furry children couldn’t be easier.

Zhao Yu himself began to solve the many troubles Cao Mengde threw at him.

Formation diagrams and talismans are all essential. And here in Xi Zhicai, the pills to cure diseases cannot be delayed.

As for the formation flag to be refined, it can be placed behind, after all, it is not urgent.
