Chapter 188 The Source of Laishui



"Yin, the commander, bring the map over!"

Zhao Muyun called out to Yinji loudly.

Yinji was also racking his brains to think about related issues.

Since he has recognized Zhao Muyun as his teacher and is learning skills from him, Yinji must take the initiative to forget his own identity and be a diligent and inquisitive apprentice.

Ever since he reached an agreement with Zhao Muyun and Pei Lun on behalf of the royal family and the Salt and Iron Bureau, and got 20% of the share of fine salt.

Yinji was then continued to be entrusted with important tasks by the royal family and was encouraged to do a good job in Hedong Road.

What the royal family and the Salt and Iron Bureau wanted was not a steady supply of fine salt, but a method to purify this fine salt.

The appearance of fine salt in Hedong Road undoubtedly posed a fatal blow to the national salt monopoly controlled by the Salt and Iron Bureau.

However, they rested on their laurels in their positions in the Salt and Iron Administration and enjoyed the benefits of the monopoly.

Then, the appearance of fine salt in Hedong Road will force them to study purification technology.

However, researching new technologies is not as easy as directly copying and imitating them.

It is not known whether the people from the Salt and Iron Bureau developed the technology independently or plagiarized it.

But Yinji staying by Zhao Muyun's side was a fact they strived for and did not want to dispute.

Because they discovered through Yin Ji that fine salt was just a trivial item in the knowledge system that Zhao Muyun controlled.

Zhao Muyun is a huge treasure, and he possesses knowledge as vast as the ocean.

Since Zhao Muyun trusts Yin Ji so much, let him stay by Zhao Muyun's side and learn things.

"yes!"

When Yinji heard Zhao Muyun's order, he immediately walked to the other side, found a map, and spread it out in front of Zhao Muyun.

The mountains, rivers and streams on ancient maps were depicted in a very abstract way, and at most one could only know their general locations.

Accuracy is certainly not guaranteed.

It's good enough to let you know what's in the east, south, west and north.

Before this, Fan Nan insisted that his staff and entourage come to the border, and climb up the main peak of Heituo Mountain, Heye Peak, to personally survey the terrain.

In other words, the officials of the Ministry of War all knew that maps played no significant role in military warfare.

If you blindly believe in maps, you may even be misled by them and put yourself in danger.

Everyone had different opinions about the sudden rain, but when they saw Zhao Muyun looking at the map with a serious expression, they stopped arguing and gathered around him.

Zhao Muyun must have thought of some plan. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally they didn't have to think of it themselves.

You know, racking your brains to come up with a strategy is more painful than picking up a sword and killing the enemy on the battlefield.

Zhao Muyun touched his chin, frowned, and fixed his eyes on the area near Weizhou City.

"Old Tang, what kind of river is this? Where does it flow from and to?"

Suddenly, Zhao Muyun pointed his sheathed sword at a river on the map that flowed through Weizhou City.

"Sir, this is the Lai River. It flows out of a valley in Feihu Ridge, meanders for over thirty miles, reaches the vicinity of Weizhou City, and then flows eastward to join the Sanggan River."

Tang Yanhai took his men to scout the enemy situation many times, and it was obvious that he had a good understanding of the terrain in the Weizhou area.

When Zhao Muyun asked about the river, Tang Yanhai answered immediately.

"That's it!"

Zhao Muyun nodded after hearing this and then said, "Where is the valley in Feihu Ridge? Old Tang, take me there to see it!"

"Sir, it's raining heavily. It might be dangerous to go and see now." Tang Yanhai was stunned and advised.

Zhao Muyun glared at Tang Yanhai, his intimidation evident without even being angry.

"Since you want to go, no problem! I'll lead the way!"

Tang Yanhai immediately changed his words.

Back then at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower, Tang Yanhai still had some capital to take advantage of his seniority.

But now, Tang Yanhai is respectful in front of Zhao Muyun and acts as a good subordinate.

Only Zhao Muyun addressed them as brothers, but they did not dare to call him that openly.

After all, when people reach a certain position, there are some things that cannot be done in violation of the rules.

Amidst everyone's bewilderment, Zhao Muyun took Tang Yanhai out of the tent.

Except for Lin Feng and Yin Ji who seemed to be thinking about something, Zhong Dahu, Du Wei, Wu Shangzhi, Wang Tiezhu and others were all confused.

Zhao Muyun was fine in the big tent, why did he suddenly want to leave?

I guess he found something in the map, and it is related to Lai Shui.

Everyone was even more curious and looked at each other, trying to find some clues in each other's eyes.

The result will definitely be nothing.

At this moment, it was drizzling outside and the ground became wet.

Some soldiers dug drainage ditches around the tents to prevent rainwater from flowing into the tents.

Many soldiers, under the command of their officers, hid the food and supplies well.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were covered with a white haze.

There were rustling sounds everywhere.

The sudden heavy rain completely extinguished the fires in the valley that could not be put out. White smoke emerged from the charcoal piles, interweaving with the rain.

The rain also washed away the blood and filth in the valley.

Rain, blood, scorched earth, all kinds of smells intertwined and mixed together, hitting the nose and making people feel a little nauseous.

Li Si and others quickly took the raincoat and paper umbrella and gave them to Zhao Muyun, and stood guard by the side.

After Zhao Muyun was assassinated in Shuozhou last time, Li Si would never let Zhao Muyun act alone. No matter where he went, he and the other five guards would never leave his side.

"Yin joins the army, you too!"

After Zhao Muyun walked out of the camp, he thought for a moment and called Yinji over.

Since he wants to learn from someone around, it is more impressive and easier to understand by observing and teaching by example than simply instilling theoretical knowledge.

At the same time, this grandson of the emperor is also the most suitable witness.
