Chapter 164: A Great Omen

By learning from history, you can know the rise and fall.

This sentence is not wrong.

There is nothing new under the sun, and this sentence is not wrong.

The only lesson that humans learn from history is that humans have not learned any lessons from history.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

Yang Mo's strong historical accumulation made him not need to think too much when looking at certain issues.

Just replace it directly from the real things in history.

When the Yellow Turban Army surrendered to the court, Yang Fang welcomed it on the surface, but in his heart he definitely wanted to peel off Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu.

By the same token, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to attract peace, and Yang Fang welcomed him on the surface, but in his heart he also wanted to dismember him from his horse.

And these two sides have a conflict in Jeju.

Yan Song would definitely suggest a strategy to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf.

Throw out a black hat from Jeju magistrate and let the two fight.

This strategy is the same as the two Taos kill three soldiers, and it is an open plan.

After all, whether it was Xiang Yu who took over the Yellow Turban Army or Zhu Yuanzhang who captured Jeju.

What you need most now is a status, a status that is upright and open.

Would they both not want it?

Surely not.

Will the two of them discuss together?

Even more unlikely.

Therefore, when Yang Mo thought of the reunion, he immediately recalled similar things in history.

But in Fan Zeng's eyes, Yang Mo could keenly detect the other party's next move at a young age, which was really amazing.

Therefore, Fan Zeng attached more and more importance to Yang Mo's opinion: "With the young master's opinion, should we want Jinyang, will the court be willing?"

"It shouldn't be refused. After all, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Li family is Yang Fang's biggest concern, and Jinyang is not far from Taiyuan. If General Xiang Yu settled in Jinyang, in the eyes of the court, it would have set a nail in the heart of the Li family."

After Yang Mo said that, Xiang Yu frowned repeatedly: "How can the Li family agree?"

"Why does the Li family disagree?"

Yang Mo laughed: "Jinyang is not far from Taiyuan, but it is not within the Li family's sphere of influence. It is all because the prefect of Jinyang Chen Zheng is a relative of the foreign country."

Fan Zeng's eyes lit up and he immediately understood the relationship.

"Since Mr. Fan said just now that the relationship between Empress Dowager Chen and Yang Fang is very tense and even hostile. Then Chen Zheng must be the one of Empress Dowager Chen."

After Yang Mo said that, Xiang Yu also understood and nodded: "It's true. If Yang Fang knew about it, she would be very happy."

"Then why would the Li family agree?"

Xiang Yu still didn't understand why Yang Mo was so confident.

"Because there is a mine in Jinyang, but Chen Zheng and the Li family are not in the way. A few days ago, Jinyang was originally within the sales scope of glass, but Chen Zheng strongly opposed it."

Yang Mo thought for a long time before he decided to tell the whole story: "Jinyang has rich coal mine resources, and the next thing I have to do is to find a way to mine it and then use it."

When I said this, my mind had already unfolded the blueprint.

Although I know that the industrial revolution is difficult to achieve in this era, and mining of coal mines is not as easy as I thought.

But the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, who knows what will happen in the future?

"So as long as the general agrees to give the minerals in Jinyang to the Li family, I will find a way to convince the Li family."

Although Yang Mo said it was faithful, Xiang Yu did not believe it.

In his opinion, after Yang Mo went back this time, he was a clay Buddha who crossed the river and could not protect himself.

How can I have the right to convince the Li family to agree to settle in Jinyang?

As for coal mine resources, Xiang Yu didn't care at all.

What is a coal mine? How could the Li family agree to sleep on their side of the bed?

Even Fan Zeng was a little suspicious and a little nervous.

"Young Master, what is this coal mine?"

"It's a long story. In general, although the Li family has not yet fully realized the value of the Chamber of Commerce, they already have this understanding."

Yang Mo sighed and wanted to pour wine, but found that the wine pot was empty.

Ying Zheng, who was standing beside him, quickly picked up a pot of wine from the empty table next to him and poured it over to him.

"If not, Li Jiancheng would not have made up his mind to let me be this messenger just because the caravan was attacked."

"The benefits generated by the caravan have exceeded the value of me, my son-in-law, in the heart of the Li family."

Yang Mo's frankness kept Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng silent, who were still somewhat suspicious.

They have basically never had contact with mineral deposits and chambers of commerce.

I won't know the huge benefits hidden behind this.

The battle is about logistics, and the two of them are clear about this principle.

But how much help the mineral deposits and the chamber of commerce can provide to the later stages does not have much concept for the two.

"Okay, the time is almost done."

Yang Mo did not continue to explain to the two of them, and did not drink the wine that Ying Zheng poured. He stood up and shook his clothes: "Zhang Jiao's confidant outside probably muttered, and my brothers in Taiyuan City were probably anxious too."

"If the two are willing to believe Yang Mo, they will do it according to our agreement. I will return to the city to report my life. It will be said that the general is willing to negotiate with Taiyuan because Yu Ji is willing to negotiate with Taiyuan, but Zhang Jiao has different opinions and is in a stalemate now. It depends on how Taiyuan will deal with it."

Fan Zeng also stood up, nodded and said, "When the young master leaves, I will immediately write a letter to send a quick horse to Chang'an."

"I hope the young master can delay it for seven days."

He calculated it in his mind that in seven days, he could almost beat Chang'an back and forth in Chang'an.

Yang Mo bowed his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir, although Li Jiancheng will not agree to the peace talks, he will not attack immediately. There should be no problem in seven days."

After a pause, his eyes fell on Zhang Jiao's corpse, who had heard the conversation between them clearly, and said with a smile: "If you can't drag it down, you can send Zhang Jiao's corpse over. Anyway, it's cold now, so you can still save some days."

Fan Zeng nodded, and was about to attend to see him off, but Yang Mo stopped and looked at the five turtle shells on the table.

"I want to calculate this turtle shell. Is it good or bad to go back to this trip?"

As he said that, he reached out and asked, "Is it enough to think about divination in his heart?"

Fan Zeng was a little hesitant, he knew the role of the turtle shell.

Although I don't believe it very much, I also believe it a little.

After all, the hexagrams of Zhang Jiao’s divination several times are consistent with the facts.

Yang Mo wants to divine, it would be fine if it is good, but if it is bad...

I've talked with him for the past half day, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

But Yang Mo was very interested and was eager to try, so he couldn't stop him.

He had to nodded and said, "Yes, but according to Zhang Jiao, the number of divination times this month has been used up, so it will be impossible to take any more."

“That’s better.”

After Yang Mo said that, he closed his eyes, held the tortoise shell in his palm, and then spread it on the table.

Then he opened his eyes.

Looking at the five turtle shells on the table, I was stunned for a moment.

The faces of the people around him also turned pale.

The hexagram shows: it is very bad.

"this..."

Although Ying Zheng is young, he is a little convinced of this thing.

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were at the same time as him, and they could not say they did not believe in feudal superstitions.

When I saw this hexagram, I felt cold and didn’t know what to do.
Chapter completed!
