Du Chang looked at the things on the table and was confused. There was a long square frame with beads inside.
"Zi Yue, let me teach you how to use this thing..."
On a piece of paper, it is written that one multiplied by one is one, one multiplied by two is two, nine nine eighty one...
The more Du Chang thought about it, the more he panicked. This thing is powerful. No matter how big the number is, it can calculate the numbers really fast and accurately. It is hundreds of times better than the bamboo chip.
"Lord, what is this called? There is such a magical magic in the world!"
Du Chang asked while wiping the sweat from his head.
"This is called abacus. After this battle is over, Ziyue, you can pick a few smart soldiers to learn this."
"Here."
After leaving the eldest son Liu Qi's room, Du Chang felt that his back was getting wet.
This is the first time I have seen such a wonderful and accurate spell. Fortunately, I have been faithful to my duties during this period and have not dared to embezzle a penny.
Otherwise, in a few days, the abacus will crackle, and everyone will be dead.
In my heart, I became more and more afraid of this eldest son of Jizhou Prefecture. You must know that the art was not popular in the late Han Dynasty, and only a few people understood it.
Every day he is well-dressed and well-fed, he sings and dances, and how he learned his skills. The abacus in his hand still has a strong smell of wood. It was obviously made not long ago.
He is knowledgeable and well-spoken. He even understands military matters. He has a good eye for understanding people and may have more skills that he doesn't know.
Seeing the nervous expression on Du Chang's face when he left, Liu Qi smiled inwardly. This was also a warning to this guy in advance.
He lacks people under his command, and lacks a large number of talents. Money, silk and other materials are all managed by Du Chang alone. There will be more materials in the future, and they will inevitably be corroded over time.
Let’s look at the future Cao Cao who has five great counselors, Sun Quan who has six great counselors, and the big-eared Liu Bei who has Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fazheng, etc.
It can be said that there are countless counselors and fierce generals in the Three Kingdoms, and talents emerge in large numbers.
Suddenly Liu Qi understood a little what military advisor Guo Jia meant when he said "nurturing hope".
Calculating the time, it is almost time before Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang. At that time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei will be the tigers that have emerged from the cage.
Everything must be planned in advance. If you want to survive in the Three Kingdoms, you must have capital. Liu Qi clenched his fists, but he really didn't know how to raise his hopes.
I asked Guo Jia several times, but he refused to say anything clearly and just said that everything was under preparation.
"Subordinates, please refer to Commander Yun, Second Commander."
The third commander Wu Sheng and his 200 cavalrymen saluted the first commander Yuntao and the second commander Chen Yong with clasped fists.
"We have been old comrades for many years, why are brothers Wu still so polite..."
The third commander, Wu Sheng, was cautious in his work, and the cavalry he trained were even better, but he had too many etiquette.
The commander-in-chief Yun Tao said with a smile, now that the two teams are together, Liu Qi's head will fall to the ground very quickly.
We have found out that Liu Qi is near Wangjia Village in Fancheng and has more than 100 refugees and more than 100 local warriors under his command.
The third commander, Wu Sheng, reported the situation he had learned.
"I didn't expect that Liu Qi is quite capable, but in front of my elder brother, he is just a chicken and a dog, vulnerable to a single blow."
The second commander, Chen Yong, flattered him at the right time.
"Hahaha……"
The commander-in-chief Yun Tao burst into laughter.
Although this kind of flattery is quite direct, but they are all big bosses in the military camp, and they like this directness.
"My great commander, I feel that the enemy cannot be underestimated. Although Wangjiabao is just a local warrior, there are still more than 300 people."
Third Commander Wu Sheng reminded me kindly, but I always felt that something was not quite right here.
Wangjiapu not only has high walls but is also guarded by archers. How Liu Qi managed to break through it shows that there must be someone with guidance from an expert.
When we left, military advisor Xu Ji also said that we must not underestimate the enemy.
"Brother Wu, if you are afraid, put your cavalry behind my infantry. You will be on top when we go up."
Chen Yong has always been at odds with this third commander. What can a group of refugees be capable of? He just said that the other party is vulnerable. This is not to destroy his ambition and increase others' prestige.
As soon as he said this, Wu Sheng blushed and became thick-necked. What do you call cavalry when you are behind infantry? What else do you call cavalry?
"Chen Yong, what do you mean by this? When did I say I was afraid of those refugees?"
Seeing that the two men were about to quarrel, the commander coughed and both of them closed their mouths.
"Chen Yong, brother Wu also has good intentions, but with my six hundred wild wolf army plus two hundred cavalry, Liu Qi can't fly even with his wings. Wu Sheng, your cavalry rushes in front, tearing a hole in the enemy's army, and the infantry follows up.
.”
Although the commander-in-chief Yun Tao also disdains Wu Sheng's statement, after all, they are two subordinates, so each of them can fight fifty times.
"The general will obey his orders."
Seeing that the commander-in-chief did not take his words to heart at all, Wu Sheng had no choice but to clasp his fists and accept the order.
"Report, Cai Mao's army is only more than ten miles away from our army."
A spy reported the enemy situation to the commander-in-chief Huang Zhong.
At this time, Huang Zhong was riding on a horse with armor on his body, a bow and an arrow on his back, and a long knife in his hand, which made him look even more powerful and domineering.
Behind them are the first-class guards, each leading a team, holding spears, swords and other weapons in their hands. They are upright and energetic, looking ahead.
"My lord, please step back. After all, swords have no eyes..."
Seeing Liu Qi and Guo Jia next to him also gave him a headache.
The two of them don't know martial arts, and the battlefield is no child's play. Everything can change in an instant. If the protagonist Liu Qi loses a hair, he will die.
"Haha, with you Han Sheng at my side, what do I have to fear? With so many elite soldiers at my side, why should I retreat? Comrades, what do you think?"
"I, Liu Qi, am with you all today. Although I cannot go on the field to kill the enemy, I can still beat the drum and cheer you on."
Liu Qi held two drums in his hand and said with a big smile.
These words reached everyone's ears. The eldest son stood in front of a big drum outside with a smile on his face.
For a time, all the soldiers were filled with pride.
Everyone knows that the eldest son does not know martial arts, but he is with everyone.
What is this, this is trust, this is entrusting your life to everyone.
Even Huang Zhong felt a warm current surge in his heart as he pointed his long knife upward.
"Swear to the death to kill the enemy and never take a step back."
"Swear to the death to kill the enemy and never take a step back..."
At one time, more than 300 people had murderous intent in their eyes, and they shouted in unison, shaking the sky.
"This kid Liu Qi is quite good at playing. He thought he could start a war by shouting a few slogans. He thought he was the eldest son of the Jizhou Mufu!"
The journey of more than ten miles came in an instant. The two armies were more than a thousand meters apart, so the voice just now was naturally heard.
The commander-in-chief Yun Tao laughed loudly. The man in white clothes was none other than Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jizhou Prefecture.
