Zuo Zhonglang will be Huangfu Song, which is the first time to climb the dune platform. And Zhu Ling, the military song, took the stage for the second time.

What you see is completely different from the sand dunes in your memory.

The entire platform was demolished, revealing a huge frame of solid wood clad iron with straight tunnels. The frame is a structure that Zhu Ling has never seen before. It looks like a special frame made up of many beams and columns.

A simple wooden ladder built by the craftsmen of Jiguo took local materials and went down to the ground floor. The interior of a large-scale mechanism came into view.

"It's similar to the Yecheng Formation." Su Yue explained everyone's confusion: "The only difference is that the connection between 'cardinals' and 'institutions' is closer. ”

As he spoke, he led everyone to a wooden frame similar in size to the common "ladder chamber" in the country of thistle. The biggest difference from the ladder is that the wooden walls around it have been removed, and only the frame and the bottom of the car have been retained. Zhu Ling knew that it was a wooden frame for installing a dry corpse puppet.

"This envelope, which can lift and translate, I call it a 'mechanism', and the entire huge frame in which the 'cardinal' and the 'mechanism' are installed is called the 'pivot'." Su Yue said eloquently: "The 'cardinal' is the heart, the 'cardinal' is the body, and the 'cardinal' is the body, and the 'cardinal' is the 'body', and the organs are constantly changing. ”

The word "holding the pivot" comes from "Guiguzi Holding the Pivot": "Holding the pivot is called spring birth, summer length, autumn harvest, winter storage, and the right of the sky." ”

Su Yue means that only by mastering the pivot of change can we control the law of change.

"The Yellow Turban Thief has great powers, 'hands and eyes reach the sky'. And the 'institution' that is 'held' by the 'cardinals' and 'pivotals' is the 'hands and eyes' of the thieves. Huangfu Song expressed his understanding.

"Yes, yes." Su Yue said: "'Institutions' are like 'hands and eyes', ever-changing, flexible and free. And they can be separated and combined with each other. If a corpse puppet is installed in the institution, it will become a 'corpse soldier institution'. If bean plants are installed in the institution, it will become a 'bean soldier mechanism'. If the institution is equipped with arrow towers, horse rejections, walls, etc., it is a 'city defense organization'.

"Why can an organization be big or small?" Huangfu Song asked again.

"As mentioned before. Institutions can be 'split into combinations'. The size of a body is called a 'grid'. For example, the corpse soldier mechanism only needs one block. The bean soldier mechanism needs to use four squares. The arrow tower mechanism needs to use eight grids. And so on. ”

"The meaning of Ming Ting's words, the arrow tower we saw under Guangzong City is a mechanism composed of eight institutions." Huangfu said.

"The number of grids may vary. But that's what it means. Su Yue said with a smile.

Zhu Ling asked: "If this is the case, why can the same 'institution' appear in different places, and where there has already been an 'institution', why does another new 'institution' emerge in the same place?" ”

"Just moving." Su Yue smiled: "This is a multi-layer rail road, pulling each other. Similar institutions have long been common in Nangang Rail Road. The trains on the rails are towed back and forth by steel cables, and can travel between Nangang and the residence. ”

"What about the front and back, and the left and right?" Zhu Ling asked again.

"It's like before and after. There are also traction steel cables on the left and right, and another winch is placed to start, which can move in four directions. Su Yue replied.

"Why is it so fast?" Zhu Lingsan asked.

"As I said, five miles below the city of Guangzong, there are multiple layers of 'pivots'. Mechanism' can be distributed in multiple layers. The upper layer is removed, and the middle layer is supplemented; The middle layer is removed, and the bottom layer is replaced. In this way, it is natural and convenient. ”

"How do you break it?" Huangfu Song asked, "Can we flood Guangzong again as before?" ”

"It's hard." Su Yue shook his head: "Before the big flood, the organs under Guangzong City were not damaged, so I knew that the thieves had already prepared." Conceal drainage ditches or take advantage of the terrain to drain stagnant water. Or borrow a valve to isolate the flood. Etcetera. ”

"If so, how do you crack it?" Huangfu Song asked.

"There is no other way but to infiltrate the 'cardinal' and sabotage the 'cardinal'." Su Yue replied.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." Huangfu Song nodded slightly.

"When I clean up, I'll set off with Zuo Zhonglang." Su Yue said.

"There's Lawmingting." Huangfu Song was overjoyed.

"Don't dare." Su Yue went to clean up and didn't mention it.

Zhongshan country, Lunu City.

Zhongshan country, west of Taihang, belly of Hebei north; It is connected to Handan in the south and Zhuo thistle in the north. Lunu, the national capital, was first occupied by Zhang Chun, the former prime minister of Zhongshan, and the rebellious army. Before the king of Zhongshan could clean up the mess, he was occupied by the yellow turban again. The people went north to the country of thistle. Most of the people who were stranded in the country and fled before they could flee, except for the people who fled into the mountains, had been coerced into the Yellow Turban rebellion. It is said that there are 100,000 thieves in the territory. But he didn't dare to act rashly, precisely because the tiger of the thistle country was in the north. And the chaotic army formed by this group of rogues was originally set up to block the southward movement of the Thistle Country. belongs to the cannon fodder of abandoned sons, not the loyal descendants of great sages and good teachers.

The pirate Guo Zu also blended into the city.

Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Huanglong, Zuo Zhangba, Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu all fled from Dongjun together.

All the way to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and scattered several units, the strength of the stop loss rebounded. Guo Zu is already one of the two major commanders alongside Zhang Rao.

The big and small canals that occupy Zhongshan are all headed by Guo Zuma.

Guo Zu camp.

"Report-" There was a yellow turban pawn, and the report in front of the tent: "There are people who claim to be the deceased Hu Yu, and they ask to see them outside the camp." ”

"Oh?" Guo Zu's spirits were lifted. He stood up abruptly and sat down slowly. After a slight pause, he whispered, "Please." ”

"Whoa!"

Soon, before Cao Mengde led the army to attack at night, Hu Yu, who had fled first, was led into the account.

"I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Guo is fine." Hu Yu clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's hard to get by, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad." Guo Zu stretched out his hand: "Sit." ”

"Brother Xie Guo." Hu Yu then sat down on the first Hu bed.

"Brother Xian is here, why is it here?" Guo Zu asked knowingly.

Hu Yu was about to speak, but suddenly heard another report from outside the account: "Zhang Qushuai asks to see." ”

Signaled Hu Yu to be calm and not to be impatient. Guo Zulang said: "Please." ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Niujiao was already in the account.

Seeing that the person who came was Hu Yu, he was first happy and then doubted: "When will Hu Qushuai be here?" ”

Hu Yu grinned bitterly: "Nine deaths on the road." It's really ...... It's hard to put into words. ”

Seeing that he does not seem to be a fake. Zhang Niujiao sighed: "It's good to be alive." ”

"Someone." Guo Zu spoke slowly: "Old friends reunite, and there should be a big banquet." Pass my orders and reward the three armies. ”

"Whoa!" The Yellow Turban took the order and left.

Waiting for Zhang Niu to sit in the corner, Guo Zu said with a smile: "Brother Hu was killed all over the house, and he had no relatives. Thousands of miles to vote, no longer alone. It can divide 3,000 troops and belong to Hu Qushuai's account. ”

"It's all up to Qu Shuai." There are many thieves under his command, and Zhang Niujiao has no objection.

"All the way, you will inevitably work hard. The virtuous brother went down first to rest. At dinner, it is not too late for you and my brother to drink and talk merrily. Guo Zu said with a smile.

"In this way, Hu Yu retired." Hu Yu then said goodbye and left.

When he came out of the account, Zhang Niujiao said: "Hu Yu's whereabouts are erratic. Coming alone today, there are many doubts. Big brother must be guarded against. ”

Guo Zu replied with a smile: "Brother Xian is too worried. thinks that his whole family, old and young, was plundered by the king of thistle. Thousands of water thieves under his command were wiped out at one time. There is a deep blood feud with the country of Ji, and he is here alone, so why should he be suspicious. ”

Zhang Niujiao nodded and said, "Previously, Zhang Qushuai of Qingzhou sent people to discuss. I want to join forces with us to go south and relieve the siege of Guangzong. I don't know what the big brother thinks? ”

"This matter ......," Guo Zu sighed: "Brother Fool has not been able to make up his mind. ”
