Chapter 44 Jia Zheng Invites

In ancient times.

The so-called expeditionary army could easily reach hundreds of thousands.

In fact, 70% of them were civilians, responsible for transporting food.

The number of soldiers who actually wore armor to fight was not large.

At the same time, there were also differences in armor.

The most elite soldiers must be canned in full iron armor, with several layers of cotton armor and silk as fillings.

This kind of soldiers, in modern times, plays a role very similar to tanks.

Used to charge into battle, first climb the city, and be invincible.

The defense of this leather armor and cotton armor is quite good.

What's more, Lin Chen has another plan in his mind, just wait until he leaves the city.

Back to Jia Zheng.

Lin Chen naturally didn't know that Jia Zheng looked at him and lamented the gap between people.

Although the Lin Dutong in front of him had a ghost mask covering his face, he looked only a few years older than Jia Baoyu.

In comparison.

The other side led an army of 10,000 people to go to war, while Jia Baoyu was still hanging around his daughter's boudoir all day.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng felt his blood pressure rise.

"This time when I go back, I will definitely let Jia Baoyu study hard in the clan school!" Jia Zheng, who had made up his mind, also became interested in Lin Chen and walked up to chat with him with a smile. "General Lin, are you the descendant of Lin Shangchang?"

Jia Zheng went through all the families with the surname Lin among the military merits in the capital in his mind.

This Lin Shangchang was also an old subordinate of the previous emperor, and was also awarded the third-class marquis after the war.

Hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Jia Zheng in surprise, and then shook his head.

"Lin is just an orphan."

Hiss!

Hearing this, Jia Zheng took a breath.

If he had no background, he could be the general at such a young age. He must be the emperor's confidant!

Although Jia Zheng was mediocre in talent and pedantic in doing things.

But he had to admit that the other party was the kind of honest person that Lin Chen was willing to deal with.

Naturally, Lin Chen was also willing to chat with him for a few more words.

Who would have thought.

Jia Zheng thought Lin Chen's words were extraordinary, so he invited Lin Chen to visit Jia's house when he was free.

Originally, Lin Chen was ready to refuse.

However, Jia Zheng's next words made Lin Chen swallow the refusal that was about to come to his lips.

"I don't know military strategy, but now I have a good chat with General Lin. I still have the military books and notes left by the Duke at home. I would like to borrow them from the Duke to have a look."

You should know that the two Dukes of Jia's house fought for their titles with the previous emperor Li Tang.

Two Dukes in one family, it can be seen that the other party has made great contributions!

The military books and notes of such powerful people are very attractive to Lin Chen, a general who is about to go to war.

It's okay for you to ask Lin Chen to plan military and political policies.

But he is confused about leading troops to fight.

Originally, Lin Chen planned to learn from Zeng Guofan, fight a stupid battle and build a strong camp.

Now that he has the military books and notes of Duke Jia, he will not be polite.

Immediately, Lin Chen asked Yang Zhi to transport the weapons back to the camp and wait for Mu Guiying to arrive before distributing them.

He planned to follow Jia Zheng to visit the Jia Mansion.

"Then Lin would like to thank Minister Jia in advance."

In this way, the two chatted happily all the way to the Jia Mansion.

Under Jia Zheng's arrangement,

Lin Chen went straight to the study and looked at the military books placed in the bookcase, which were already covered with dust.

"Tsk..." Lin Chen laughed at himself and shook his head.

He picked up a bamboo slip, gently wiped off the dust, and read it.

In ancient times, most of the methods of recording books were to engrave words on bamboo slips.

There were only four words in capital letters on the bamboo slips: "Jia Gong's Military Strategy"

The entire military strategy is only about 8,000 words.

Compared with modern books that easily cost millions, these 8,000 words are a concentrated crystallization.

Huh?

Lin Chen looked at the beginning of the military strategy.

It was not the various strategies he had in mind, but how to train soldiers and select talented people from them.

In the next article, it was about how to organize a large army to march.

As the saying goes, if there are more than ten thousand people, there will be no limit.

To lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to march, just how to let these people go to the toilet and how to choose a location to build a camp is a science!

I have to say.

This book of Jia Gong's military strategy opened Lin Chen's eyes.

It turns out that in ancient times, being a general was not just about talking and letting your men do it.

It was not about leading soldiers to the battlefield and rushing to fight rashly.

If a person who knew nothing was asked to lead an army of tens of thousands of people on a long journey to Baili.

Maybe before they arrived at the place, all the people would run away!

"If you want to win, you can't miss the strategies hidden in the details."

Lin Chen, who was amazed, planned to memorize these eight thousand words.

Even if you can't understand it thoroughly, you can recite it by heart.

But I didn't want to.

Jia Zheng invited Lin Dutong.

I don't know which servant let it slip, and it spread throughout the Jia Mansion.

Wang Xifeng was originally comforting Lin Daiyu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Even she was amazed by the beauty of this girl.

It was this slightly petty and picky mind that made people wonder what to say.

At this time, Tanchun poked her head into Lin Daiyu's boudoir.

"Sister Lin, I'm telling you that General Lin was invited by Master Zheng to be a guest."

Lin Daiyu's sobbing stopped slightly after hearing this.

Seeing that it worked, Tanchun continued to lower her voice and said, "Baoyu was seen hanging out with a few servants when Master Zheng came back. He was spanked and said that he had to go to the clan school tomorrow."

"Tanchun, you said that General Lin came to the mansion?"

What Tanchun didn't expect was that the one who reacted the most was this Second Lady Lian.

Just look at this young lady, her face flushed unnaturally, and her body was a little awkward.

"Sister Feng, are you feeling unwell?"

Tanchun was startled.

"No, it's okay, I can go and rest by myself."

Wang Xifeng said this, clutching her handkerchief and walked out of Lin Daiyu's boudoir, and pretended to ask the servant where Lin Chen was at the Jia family.

"The master said that Lord Lin came to the Jia family to see the military strategy left by Jia Gong, and asked me and other servants not to disturb him."

Wang Xifeng heard this, pretending to be nothing, and waved her hand to let the servants go down.

But she didn't expect.

After waiting for everyone else to leave, Second Madam Lian sneaked into the study room in the side courtyard like a thief.

Hmm?

Lin Chen heard the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly, and subconsciously looked back.

I thought it was the servant that Jia Zheng ordered to come and serve tea.

But I didn't expect it to be Second Madam Lian with a blushing face.

I saw beads of sweat on her smooth forehead, and I don't know if it was because of the heat or something else.

"Is it you?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask with a playful tone when he saw the other party.

This Second Madam Lian has also learned a lot.

This Feng Lazi is not to be outdone.

"What's wrong with me? I didn't expect that you, my enemy, would dare to come to the Jia Mansion. If people knew what you did to this young lady, would you still be able to walk out?" Wang Xifeng laughed tenderly and moved slightly in front of Lin Chen.

If this woman closed her mouth, she would still be a beauty in the world.

It's a pity that she has an extra mouth.

Lin Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Xifeng's rosy little mouth.

Suddenly.

"Lord Lin, this is the tea that Master Zheng ordered me to bring." A servant knocked on the door outside.

"Come in." Lin Chen sat upright in front of the desk, his figure was upright, and signaled the servant to put the tea on the desk.

The servant seemed to have heard some subtle noises just now, and looked into the study room with a blank face.

"Master Lin, did you hear any sound in the room just now?"

"Sound? You must have heard it wrong..." Lin Chen frowned, pretending to be impatient, and waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

Seeing the other party leave.

Lin Chen just reached out and touched under the desk, indicating Wang Xifeng who was lying under the desk.
