Chapter 49: Tianwen
Yang sat in the lobby of the Yamen of the Lingzhou Governance Office, his hands lowered, and his eyes showed some anxious looks. The official in the hall was briefing him on the information he had recently received.
Ever since Li Daozong led the four Zhichong Mansions of the Dingyuan Army to leave Lingzhou, Yang Ze has been sitting on a volcano that is about to erupt every day. Since six or seven days ago, the eighteenth town of Lingwu began to reorganize and fight, and Yang Ze could smell the sound of tension in the air.
Today's Lingzhou is extremely weak, although Lingzhou is not groundless, in fact, how much combat effectiveness these newly reorganized Dingyuan Army can have, Yang Ze does not dare to guarantee at all. He had seen Chen Ying fight, and although he was not proficient in military affairs, he had a very simple contrast.
When Chen Ying commanded the Dingyuan Army, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army were a group of fierce beasts, no matter who they looked at, they were like hungry wolves, as if they were looking at where others were asking for the best knives.
However, at this time, the Dingyuan army did not have that kind of momentum, and even the armor was not even. Counting on these sergeants to defend Lingzhou, Yang was really unconfident.
However, there is no good news from the news received. The people of the eighteen towns of Lingwu, the villages outside the city that have been completely abandoned, and the village forts under the jurisdiction of each town, have been completely emptied and all moved to the town forts, and the grain, water sources, livestock or farming tools in the village forts have all been buried.
No matter how Yang Ze didn't understand military affairs, he knew that this was the people of the Eighteen Towns of Lingwu, and they didn't believe that the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army could protect them, so they adopted the tactics of clearing the wilderness. The tactic of clearing the field sounds very lofty, but in fact, this is a tactic of injuring 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself, even if you finally defeat the enemy, your own losses will not be easy.
The people who moved into the fort dug and widened the trenches outside the fort, and they all knew that when Lingzhou was defending the army, many people froze to death in winter because of the lack of fuel. These people desperately stored coal in the town fort, which was resistant to burning and did not occupy space.
Many people seized the time to cut wood, build trebuchets, cut wood to make arrow shafts, and smelt iron to make arrowheads......
The more this time, the more careful Yang became. He was born under the East Palace, and he has a great future, if he does not handle the affairs of Lingzhou well, it is likely that the history of Lingzhou is the end of his career.
"Envoy, in fact, don't worry, the weather is getting colder and colder, although it won't turn into ice, but in this case, it is not so easy for Liang Shi to send troops!"
Yang Ze shook his head, he knew that Chen Ying used a snow boat to set off from Chang'an last winter, and galloped all the way for more than 2,000 miles to help Lingzhou. And the snow boat is not a high-tech branch, as long as you know a little bit about carpenter's work, you will know how to build a snow boat bridge after reading it once.
Yang Zedao: "The colder the weather, the more terrible it is, if Liang Shidu sends troops to capture Lingzhou, this is the best opportunity." Liang Shidu will not let go of such a good opportunity! โ
"But ......"
"What, in the name of this assassin's history, I ordered the counties of Lingzhou to immediately clear the wilderness, store and burn, and avoid disasters in the city." Yang muttered, "I hope it's still time!" โ

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was silent in thought, but his expression kept changing, Chen Ying suddenly regretted it.
With his understanding of Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng went to Yuan Tiangang this time, and it should be more than just help. Although Yuan Tiangang is proficient in divination and the astronomical calendar, although Yuan Tiangang is a person outside the wilderness, his help to Li Jiancheng has always been limited.
Seeing that Yuan Tiangang did not come out of the door and directly let Li Jiancheng eat the closed door, Chen Ying was quite dissatisfied. It's not that Chen Ying looks down on the so-called divination and physiognomy techniques, in fact, these things can be summarized into a discipline in later generations, called psychology.
Considering the 365 days of the year as 365 drawers and 400 people as 400 objects, it can be seen from the drawer principle 1 that at least 2 people have the same birthday. 400/365=1โฆ 35,1+1=2 Another example: if we take 13 random people from the street, we can conclude that at least two of them are of the same genus. Take 6 of any 5 pairs of gloves, at least 2 of which are exactly one pair of gloves.
We can know that from the number 1,2,...,10 any 6 numbers, at least 2 of them are odd and even.
The above examples seem to be the question of "being", "always being", and "at least being", which is the main function of the drawer principle. This is actually a matter of probability in mathematics, but physiognomy has been deified by warlocks, for example, when a person goes to fortune telling, as soon as he opens his mouth, it actually exposes a lot of problems. People who measure marriage must have problems in marriage, and people with financial and official luck are either poor in financial and official luck, or wandering left and right. As long as you know this promise, using the drawer principle, there is at least an 80% chance that you can be blinded. The so-called physiognomy is said to be mysterious and mysterious, but in fact, it is summarized as the principle of drawers.
The drawer principle is simple, but it has a wide range of applications, and it can answer many interesting questions, some of which are quite difficult.
According to later records, Yuan Tiangang's fame was quite great, but this was precisely a mathematician, who just applied the drawer principle of mathematical knowledge to physiognomy. For example, in the Three Kingdoms era, Xu Ziwei commented on it once a month, and at least hundreds of people were evaluated in more than ten years, but except for Cao Cao, other origins are unknown, which is also a matter of probability. But judging from Xu Zijiang and finally Liu Xuan, he is actually not accurate in looking at people, if he is really accurate, why is he willing to go to Liu Xuan's side?
Now that Yuan Tiangang is actually posing in front of Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying can't stand it. Chen Ying walked to the door of the Taoist temple and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened. A little Taoist boy inside poked his head out and looked at Chen Yingdao: "The master is in retreat, and there are no outsiders......
Why don't you go back first, and I'll let you know as soon as I have news?" โ
Li Jiancheng was about to speak, but Chen Ying grabbed it and said with a slight smile: "Little Daotong, you go in and tell your master, if he doesn't come out, he will regret it!" โ
Hearing Chen Ying say this, Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Qing, don't be rude!" โ
Chen Ying turned around and said: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, His Majesty has his own measure!" โ
The little Taoist boy pouted disapprovingly: "I don't know if Chen Langjun is ready to make the master regret it!" โ
Chen Ying smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that Master Yuan is good and easy, easy to be the head of the Six Classics, talking about the avenue of heaven, earth and humanity, and a certain talent, there are just a few questions that I don't understand, by the way, please ask Master Yuan, I don't know if it's okay?" โ
When Dao Tong heard this, his face changed slightly. If you ask Yuan Tiangang to meet, Yuan Tiangang closes and comes out, this is a way to raise oneself, the only way, but the children of the world at the moment, the kings and grandsons all eat this set, but Chen Ying's name is to ask for help, but in fact, he is a slap in the face for the door-to-door challenge, if Yuan Tiangang closes the door again, no matter what the result is, I am afraid Chen Ying dares to say that Yuan Tiangang is closed and does not fight.
Face-to-face, eat fame in this line of food, such as stars in later generations. If a star has no reputation and will never be on the news, he will be looked down upon, which is the most terrible.
Once the world appears, Yuan Tiangang will not even dare to fight a weak-crowned boy, which will have too great an impact on Yuan Tiangang's fame.
The boy was stunned for a moment and smiled dumbly. "Chen Langjun also has research on Yi?"
There was more ridicule than surprise in the words, obviously unbelief.
Not only him, but even Li Jiancheng was a little ridiculous. He and Chen Ying haven't been together for a day or two, and he still doesn't know how much ink Chen Ying has in his stomach? It is too much to say that Chen Yingmu is illiterate, but to say that he is qualified to discuss the Book of Changes with Yuan Tiangang is absolutely impossible.
"I can't talk about research, I just know a thing or two." Chen Ying smiled and arched his hand. "If Master Yuan refuses to see us, that's okay. I'm just a question, please tell Master Yuan and ask for an answer, I'll wait outside the door. โ
Dao Tong was stunned, did Chen Ying really want to ask for advice at this time, or did he want to take the opportunity to make trouble? If it's the former, it's a good opportunity. If it's the latter, it's a shame.
Dao Tong actually didn't know, Chen Ying didn't say that he understood Yi, he hadn't even read the Book of Changes, but Chen Ying was angry but Yuan Tiangang pretended to be forced, he still had a lot of things to do, at this time, Li Jiancheng simply held the attitude of not giving up until he reached his goal, waiting outside the door, how could Chen Ying waste this idle effort here.
Dao Tong said: "I don't know what is wrong with Chen Langjun, although he is not talented, he also knows a little about the Book of Changes, if Chen Langjun has a problem, he can solve his doubts for Chen Langjun on behalf of the teacher." โ
Chen Ying said with a smile: "The Book of Changes studies heaven, earth and man, and Chen wants to know, how high is the sky above his head and how thick is this earth?" Do you still hope that Master Yuan will give advice? โ
