"Why?" Li Shuyi didn't understand and asked.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "This letter is formatted. Look at the first word in the first column, the second word in the second column, and so on. Find the four key words in this letter. "
Li Shuyi identified them one by one, and his eyes gradually widened.
"Surrender and not believe?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Surrender means' I '. These four words are telling us that this surrender is fake and cannot be trusted."
"Is that really what it means? Why does it seem like a coincidence to me? Why didn't Lu Xun use the head-hiding style of writing? Why did he choose to embed these words to believe that we would be able to decipher the mystery in this letter? "Li Shuyi didn't believe it.
Bai Xiaowen said, "The Lu family must have been coerced and had no choice but to do this. The letter that Lu Xun wrote must have been checked by Zhou Yu. The head-hiding style is too obvious and can't fool Zhou Yu. "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "Actually, Lu Xun doesn't care if we can decipher the mystery. He's just a backup plan. If our army can't decipher the mystery, but we eventually pacify Jiangnan, Lu Xun will be able to find this letter when we interrogate him for the false surrender. "
At this point, Bai Xiaowen imitated Lu Xun's tone and said,
"Our entire family is under the knife and has no choice but to obey. However, I've already told the king about Zhou Yu's scheme in code. "
In this way, the Lu family could at least escape punishment.
Li Shuyi nodded and said, "Lu Xun really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "We can't underestimate Lu Xun. In my opinion, his intelligence is no less than Zhou Yu's. "
"Since it's confirmed that it's fake, what should we do?" Qiao Rui asked.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Zhou Yu is already moving at my pace. In my reply to the Lu family, I agreed to send troops in three days. This time, I will definitely be able to cross the river and defeat Zhou Yu. "
Bai Xiaowen then ordered the soldiers to prepare kerosene, arrows, and other war supplies.
During these three days, Bai Xiaowen was also reading the middle volume of the Heavenly Book, the Art of Peace.
The Middle Volume of the Tomes of the Heavenly Tomes recorded Daoist techniques such as praying, cursing, mantras, sword seals, thunder techniques, escape techniques, and other major systems of Daoist techniques. They were all recorded in the Middle Volume of the Heavenly Tomes.
After Bai Xiaowen learned one of the Dao techniques, he did an experiment and realized that he could now completely rely on his elemental energy to cast the Dao techniques in the Second Volume of the Heavenly Tomes, ignoring the requirements of the skill bar.
This was very frightening. Just how many kinds of Taoist spells were there in the Second Volume of the Heavenly Tomes?
Bai Xiaowen did not know that the Dao techniques in the Middle Volume of the Heavenly Tomes were graded according to the amount of elemental energy it consumed.
The higher the level, the more powerful the dao technique.
Bai Xiaowen's current elemental energy level was 63 points, so he could only see tier-one dao techniques. Behind him were large sections of blank space, areas that Bai Xiaowen could not see with his inner sight.
The power of tier-one dao techniques was slightly weaker.
For example, the "Wind-Controlling Mantra" of the Mantra Series could allow one to glide for a short period of time. It was not very useful, but it was good for showing off.
Of course, there were also tier-one dao techniques that were very practical. For example, the "Heart Cleansing Mantra" could resolve the negative status and control effects on teammates. Unfortunately, the additional priority was only one point. However, a control removal skill was a control removal skill after all. It did not occupy the skill bar, so there was no loss.
Other than that, there was also the "Amulet" of the Incantation Series, which could increase one's armor. The "Sword Seal" of the Sword Seal Series had an effect similar to the "Sword Chant" technique of the Elves in the Blacktide Plane. However, it was slightly worse than the Elves' Sword Chant technique. It could only use elemental energy to control a sword, but its flexibility was much better.
How many tier-one dao techniques were there in total?
Bai Xiaowen counted. There were a total of 729!
Bai Xiaowen felt like he had struck gold.
However, learning these dao techniques was not easy. Bai Xiaowen also spent two days to learn the "Heart Cleansing Mantra".
Even if he learned it, he would need to practice many times before he could master it. Just like when Bai Xiaowen practiced the "Dark Brush" of the ancient martial arts of the Grassland Sect, this kind of ability was not counted in the skill bar. It needed to be practiced by the awakened to shorten the casting time.
"Most of these tier-one dao techniques are flashy but not practical. I only choose the useful ones to learn. The main point is still to cultivate and increase my elemental energy. Only when my elemental energy reaches the standard can I learn more advanced dao techniques. "
Bai Xiaowen sighed. He felt that the three scrolls of the Heavenly Book were not things that the awakened could come into contact with under normal circumstances.
The first scroll, "Taiping Scripture", activated elemental energy.
The second scroll, "Taiping Scripture", taught dao techniques from the basics to the advanced.
Just these two scrolls were similar to cultivation textbooks.
The three scrolls of the Heavenly Book gave Bai Xiaowen the feeling that they were the "professional classics" possessed by the awakened. Of course, Bai Xiaowen had never seen a professional classic and did not know what it looked like.
Reading the second scroll of the Heavenly Book did not bring about an obvious increase in Bai Xiaowen's strength. However, it allowed Bai Xiaowen to learn many small skills and tricks, making his fighting style more flexible.
Most importantly, he had great potential.
On the third day, a person came to Jingzhou.
It was Huang Zhong.
Bai Xiaowen had not forgotten to rope in Huang Zhong. After he occupied Jingzhou, Huang Zhong's family, especially his son and daughter, were treated well.
Bai Xiaowen even ordered someone to pass a message to Huang Zhong that he knew a miracle doctor who was currently living in Liaodong. If Huang Zhong was willing, he could send his son, Huang Xu, to Liaodong for the miracle doctor to treat him.
Huang Zhong was very touched, but he still rejected Bai Xiaowen's suggestion. His son was born with a weak body and could not withstand a bumpy journey, not to mention the bitter cold of Liaodong.
Although he rejected Bai Xiaowen's offer, Huang Zhong was still grateful and decided to pledge his allegiance.
Bai Xiaowen was' overjoyed 'and immediately made Huang Zhong a Marquis, his son Huang Xu a Lieutenant, and his daughter Huang Wudie a Lieutenant.
After meeting Huang Zhong, Bai Xiaowen looked at his attributes and skills.
In terms of attributes, Huang Zhong was a strength-type. His Strength was 130 points, but his Dexterity was only 72 points.
This made Bai Xiaowen a little suspicious. In his impression, Huang Zhong was an expert in archery, so his Dexterity should be higher.
However, after looking at Huang Zhong's skills, Bai Xiaowen understood.
[Lord Skill: Gale: Passive. Huang Zhong's direct subordinates (including himself) have a 25% increase in long-range attack power, 25% increase in long-range accuracy, and 15% increase in movement speed. Activating Strong Wind can double the effect of the passive effect.]
The key was Huang Zhong's Unparalleled Skill: Bow and Saber Mastery!
Huang Zhong had two weapons: a long saber and a strong bow.
Every time he switched weapons, he would activate Huang Zhong's Unparalleled Skill: Bow and Saber Mastery, allowing his Strength and Dexterity to swap!
When he wielded a long saber, his Strength was the main attribute. When he wielded a large bow, his Dexterity was the main attribute. In other words, his Strength matched his long saber, and his Dexterity matched his strong bow.
It was no wonder that Huang Zhong was an expert in archery and could compete with Guan Yu in close combat.
Bai Xiaowen thought of the unlucky Xiahou Yuan. He seemed to have a Dual Skill as well.
Xiahou Yuan could only be considered as a fake Dual Skill, while Huang Zhong was the real Dual Skill! It was no wonder that Huang Zhong was ranked higher than Xiahou Yuan in the Three Kingdoms Ranking. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he even killed Xiahou Yuan with one strike. His skills were completely restrained, so how could Xiahou Yuan be a match for him?
After acquiring a fierce general like Huang Zhong, Bai Xiaowen was like a tiger that had grown wings.
When the agreed date with Jiangdong's Lu family arrived, Bai Xiaowen ordered a chain of ships to cross the river and attack Zhou Yu's Water Fort at Sanjiangkou!
