No matter how things change, time passes slowly like eternity, neither speeding up nor slowing down.
One day passed quickly. During this day, envoys came out of Chenliu Village one after another to go to other territories.
These are not so much messengers as lobbyists.
Every time he arrived at a territory, he used a three-inch tongue to describe and analyze the current situation to these lords.
The current situation, the choices available to the lord, and the possible consequences and impacts of these choices.
They are not fabricating false news. On the contrary, they can guarantee that every word they say is authentic, true and can withstand investigation.
However, when telling the story, these lobbyists who are good at playing with people's hearts choose to tell part of it, hide part of it, and honestly tell a lie.
Limited real information is gathered and compiled into a true lie.
In this regard, these lords had different reactions. Some agreed directly, but they delayed sending troops. One problem today, one mistake tomorrow, and the soldiers never left their territory.
There are also people who refuse on the spot, but such people are very few.
The vast majority of people are in an ambiguous state. They don't refuse, don't express their stance, and just hang on.
Therefore, no one came to Chen Liu's aid during this day, making this day extremely peaceful.
However, there are storms and undercurrents lurking beneath the calm.
Guo Jia was not disappointed with this. He knew that this did not mean a bad thing.
Xu Shu and Fang Fan of Ning'an did not relax because of this. On the contrary, they increased their vigilance because they knew.
A mere village is not enough to intimidate everyone. Their retreat is not a retreat, but a matter of accumulating energy for a fatal blow, making the next blow even more deadly.
Regarding this point, Fang Fan and Xu Shu had a common point of view.
"Why should we regard them as enemies? Treating them as enemies means forcing them onto Cao Cao's chariot.
Why is this necessary? Remember, our goal is not to kill everyone, we are only targeting Cao Cao."
Fang Fan slowly said to Tang Jiajun, while in another office, Xu Shu and Chen Gong were chatting, with a map in front of them.
"We, that is, Ning'an, and Chenliu Village are hostile to each other, like two poles, located at both ends of the line.
As for other lords, their power is in the middle of this line, between Ning'an and Chenliu.
Some people are closer to Ning'an, and some are closer to Chen Liu, but they are just close, not completely leaning on it.
In other words, from this perspective, they are all neutral.
And what does Chen Liu need to do?
It is to win over neutral forces and tie them to their own chariots to strengthen them and resist our attack.
And what about us? We don't need to bother, we just need to let them maintain the status quo, without being biased towards us, not towards Chen Liu.
Because as long as they don't move, we can defeat Chen Liu, and they can make long-term plans after dealing with Chen Liu."
"understand?"
Fang Fan asked Tang Jiajun in front, who nodded.
"I understand a little bit."
Tang Jiajun walked out and walked in again soon, but he had an extra document in his hand.
"Village chief, this is the summary of today's work and the outlook for tomorrow sent by Military Advisor Xu Shu."
Fang Fan hummed lightly, took the document, and started reading it.
The writing on it is in simplified Chinese characters. There is no flying dragon or phoenix, and there is nothing vigorous or powerful. It is only neat, well-formatted and pleasing to the eye. This is written by Xu Shu himself.
On the first and second pages, Xu Shu recorded every order he gave today in detail.
Some of the more important commands are even followed by the function of the command and its strategic significance in the overall situation.
He wrote very clearly, and Fang Fan felt comfortable reading it, and his impression of Xu Shu improved a lot. He was a smart man.
This is the cleverness of Xu Shu.
He deeply understood where his rights came from, and even more so, even though the lord said that all rights would be handed over to him and left to his disposal.
But he knew that the essence of power had never changed, and he was just a subordinate who was trusted and loved by his lord.
Since he is a subordinate, he must act like a subordinate and cannot earn the trust of his lord.
Of course, this detailed report can also be regarded as Xu Shu's way of avoiding suspicion. Every move is known to the lord. So will such a subordinate pose any threat?
Isn't such a subordinate worthy of trust?
After coming back to his senses, Fang Fan continued to look at the content below. The third page was Xu Shu's plan for tomorrow's war.
After looking at it, Fang Fan raised his hand and said to Tang Jiajun next to him.
"You see, Yuan Zhi thinks the same as me."
"Wow⊙w⊙, is this the tacit understanding of wise men?
There was obviously no communication, but they unanimously made the best plan."
Tang Jiajun said in surprise.
Fang Fan didn't feel cold at all about Tang Jiajun's clumsy flattery. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued to open Xu Shu's work summary.
At the end of the summary is a process chart that concretely embodies the current war process.
War Progress: 53%
Putting away the report, Xu Shu's acceptance of modern culture far exceeded his imagination, with good simplified Chinese characters, excellent typesetting and the final process chart.
Xu Shu has been making progress, continuously absorbing thousands of years of cultural achievements and scientific achievements in this world, constantly eliminating the bad and retaining the good, becoming more powerful.
But Fang Fan is not surprised, because this is the historical counselor and historical general in Fang Fan's mind. Only then can he be qualified to become a historical counselor and historical general who is favored by heaven and earth and will leave his name in history.
And those who are stuck in their ways, stop learning and are still arrogant and arrogant, are just walking inheritances and targets for hunting.
Dawn breaks through the sky, the rising sun jumps up, and a new day begins.
Fang Fan had already left the bed and was sitting at the dining table, enjoying snake and dragon meat porridge and a small bowl of mild elixir salad with Fang Qing.
Looking outside through the window, a four- to five-meter-tall pale golden behemoth enjoys the service of vines.
A vine rolled up the spiritual fruit in front of the dragon elephant and handed it to the dragon elephant's mouth.
A towel wrapped around a vine was rubbed and polished on the perfect ivory of the dragon elephant.
A vine circled a bucket of water and placed it under the dragon's trunk.
A vine curled up, and the tough vine was used to tap and massage the dragon and elephant scales.
Fang Fan was speechless when he saw this scene.
A few days ago, Long Xiang suppressed his aura and walked to Fang Fan's house. He was immediately discovered by the mutated vines guarding the house, and a battle was about to break out.
Although Fang Fan's aura was felt on the dragon elephant, it did not affect the attack of the mutated vines, it just put away the murderous intention.
Fourth level dragonborn:Dragon Elephant
Third-level mutated plants: mutated vines
It was clear that the battle took over, and from then on, Longxiang enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Behind the house, trucks from the Logistics Department rolled over, and inedible mutated beasts were placed in front of the mutated vines.
The vines fell on the cart and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, swallowing up all the water.
After the devouring was completed, the vines of the mutated vines swayed in the air, and the green color of the vines and leaves became even deeper.
At the same time, the color of the small gourd at the core of the mutated vine is slowly deepening and growing silently.
