People generally still believe in ghosts and gods.
For example, the Tiangong general who shouted "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand" has horns.
He used the prestige of ghosts and gods to build momentum for himself, and then raised an army to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Although the Yellow Turban Uprising ultimately failed,
But they also shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty,
It can be seen that the ghosts and gods in ancient times still had a lot of influence.
so,
How does it feel to have a quasi-immortal by your side?
Anyway, Cao Cao now has unparalleled confidence in his own army.
He did not expect that the immortal would help him.
As long as you can occasionally get a glimpse of "secret" from your daily diary,
That would be enough for him, Cao Mengde, to have endless uses!
After thinking about this,
Cao Cao felt relieved,
He doesn't think about how to find the "immortal" hidden in his army now.
I just held my diary and had a good sleep.
Early the next morning,
Cao Cao had just finished washing up.
His younger brother Cao Hong suddenly walked in from outside the door.
"Brother,
We just received a letter from Yuan Shao,
He invited the eldest brother to go to the Jujube Alliance thirty miles outside Sishui Pass."
Cao Cao thought to himself: "It seems that the immortal has been right. Yuan Shao really wants to be the leader of the alliance."
holding the letter,
Cao Cao said to Cao Hong: "Convene everyone to discuss in the meeting hall."
"promise!"
When Cao Cao came to the meeting hall,
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan,
As well as Yue Jin, Li Dian and others who had recently defected, they had gathered together.
They were also discussing with each other about Yuan Shao's invitation to the alliance.
Cao Cao moves like a dragon and a tiger steps,
After quickly walking to the main seat,
He glanced at his team with sharp eyes and asked:
"Everyone, I believe you all know the news that Yuan Shao invited us to the Jujube Alliance, right?"
"I understand, my lord!"
"We all know it, brother."
Everyone else just replied that they had learned about the news from Yuan Shao,
Only Cao Ren put forward his own opinion: "Brother, Yuan Shao changed the location of the alliance. This seems to have bad intentions."
The person Cao Ren admired most was Cao Cao.
And Cao Cao valued Cao Ren the most.
Hearing Cao Ren express his opinion, Cao Cao nodded and smiled and replied: "Zi Xiao is right."
Then Cao Cao pointed to the map hanging on the shelf and said,
"Everyone, please see, Jujube is just outside Sishui Pass, and the location is really good.
Then Yuan Shao chose to have an alliance here,
Just to hint to the princes,
The position of alliance leader should belong to him, Yuan Shao."
Xiahou Dun immediately quit after hearing this. He was the first to raise his hands in protest:
"Why does he, Yuan Shao?
Brother, you are the one who issued the emperor’s edict,
Why should he, Yuan Shaolai, be the leader of this alliance?"
Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Dun and said, "I want to ask you, how does our strength compare with Yuan Shao?"
Xiahou Dun replied without thinking: "Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, has disciples and former officials all over the world. Naturally, we are not as good as him."
Seeing that Xiahou Dun was still awake,
Cao Cao then nodded and replied: "You also know that we are not as good as Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Shao wants to be the leader of the alliance, then let him do it.
We cannot be the most prestigious princes,
But at least it’s the second highest road.”
Xiahou Dun had a strong temper. Although he knew what Cao Cao said was reasonable, he was still a little angry.
Cao Cao didn't even try to persuade him.
Xiahou Dun was the descendant of Xia Houying, the imperial servant of the Western Han Dynasty. He was strong-willed, brave and good at fighting. When he was fourteen years old, someone insulted his teacher, and he killed that person.
But Cao Cao actually knew that Xiahou Dun was by no means a vulgar person.
Xiahou Dun actually understood the truth.
Just because of his personality, he is a little angry now.
Cao Cao finished speaking for a long time. Seeing that no one said anything, he sighed in his heart.
"well!
The room is full of strong men, but there is no one with whom to discuss.
It would be great if Chen Gongtai had not left me..."
Thinking of this,
Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the figure he saw in a quick glance during the day.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first.
Every time the army moves out,
In fact, the logistics system has already started operating.
Fighting involves not only people, but also comprehensive abilities in all aspects.
then,
Lu Yan was suddenly so busy today that he had his feet off the ground.
The various mobilizations and instructions in Cao Cao's camp suddenly increased significantly.
This made Lu Yan realize,
"It seems that Cao Cao is going to the Jujube Alliance.
I have to pack up in advance quickly,
So as not to be in a hurry when the time comes.”
Recently, Lu Yan's Xiantian Qi practice has been going quite smoothly. The Xiantian Qi is growing at an undetectable speed every day. Although the speed is slow, it is still growing.
There is a steady stream of innate pure energy nourishing Lu Yan's body.
So even though he is so busy that he is about to fly,
But it didn't feel tired as usual.
look at the time,
There's about a quarter of an hour before get off work ends,
Lu Yan lifted up the tent and looked outside the tent.
After confirming that no one will come in at this time,
He took out the Notebook of Heaven's Destiny and began to complete today's diary.
[Boss Cao is going to Suanzao soon,
Although facing the battlefield directly will be dangerous,
But I am no longer the same person.
I can't kill people,
But want to kill me,
Then it depends on whether you can catch up with me...]
After writing bits and pieces of what I saw and felt today,
Lu Yan again thought of things like grain and grass statistics that he had been dealing with recently.
"The bamboo slips are really troublesome to use, and the forms are not easy to draw..."
After a pause,
After hesitating and weighing for a while,
Lu Yan decided to give it a try,
[The statistical method of keeping this running account nowadays is really uncomfortable.
Not only is it difficult to reconcile accounts,
Moreover, inspection is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.】
[Let’s make a form first!]
Lu Yan drew a simple form on his notebook,
For your own convenience,
He wrote the Chinese capital numbers corresponding to the Arabic numerals at the top of the form.
In the table, Arabic numerals are used to record various data, as well as the final summary.
In this process,
He inevitably made some sketches of calculations in the blank space next to him...
[Well, it’s done, this way still looks the most comfortable. 】
...
In the meeting hall,
Cao Cao guessed that it was time for the "immortal" to get off work again.
In view of the fact that this military aircraft meeting was basically just talking to oneself,
So Cao Cao simply said to everyone:
"Everyone, we will leave immediately for the Jujube Alliance tomorrow. We will stop here today."
"Here!"
"Here!"
"Here!"
Without waiting for others to get up,
Cao Cao hurriedly left the meeting hall alone.
He can't wait to read today's diary now.
Go back to the house and open the diary,
Today’s diary was updated on time.
But the content of today’s diary,
Except for the first few sentences that I can understand,
Those square grids and crooked lines at the back immediately confused Cao Cao.
"What are all these things?"
Cao Cao rubbed his eyes,
Then start reading from the beginning again.
After he watched it several times,
He finally understood the meaning of these Arabic numerals,
"This should be the corresponding meaning of the symbols written on it.
1 corresponds to 1,
2 corresponds to two...
That’s it, that’s it!
Can it be combined like this?
The person who created this statistical method is simply a genius... Oh no, if it was created by an immortal, then there is nothing to be surprised about..."
Cao Cao was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs.
He made some changes according to the instructions, and after finally confirming it a few times, he could clearly understand the meaning of the form.
After realizing the huge benefits of this statistical method,
Cao Cao immediately couldn't help but want to promote it.
But after thinking about it again and again,
Cao Cao still felt that he should shelve this idea for the time being:
"Although the method is good,
But plagiarizing the immortal's things rashly will probably anger him, and it will also expose the secret that I can see his diary.
If the immortal leaves in anger, I will lose more than I gain.
If he takes my life again when he is so angry...tsk tsk...then he is really committing suicide...
You still have to hold on,
Anyway, I have learned this method,
Don’t worry about not having the chance to show it off in the future..."
