Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 136 The admiral also needs to improve!

Xing Daorong still underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. In fact, the blower had already existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty during the time of Liu Xiu.

Han Ji of Nanyang had made some improvements. He had been the supervisor of the smelting in Cao Wei for seven years. He used hydraulic blowers to ensure that Cao Cao's group had sufficient equipment.

However, hydraulic blowers are very dependent on the terrain and are not suitable for every forge.

The blower Huang Yueying made is obviously more useful.

He immediately said, "Madam, could this be sent to West City and have the blacksmiths try it out?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant. I originally wanted to use it for this purpose, but I didn't expect the general to see through it at a glance."

Then he muttered to himself, "The name 'blower' is appropriate."

Xing Daorong had cold sweat on his forehead.

I was so excited just now that I exposed myself a little.

At this moment, he hurriedly said, "Military Advisor, Madam, I still need to study these formations carefully. I won't disturb you any more. I will leave now."

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for the two to react.

Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying were left looking at each other, feeling somewhat puzzled as they watched Xing Daorong hurriedly walk out.

After Xing Daorong returned home, he began to study the Bagua Formation.

But he really couldn't see clearly!
Let’s look at the outline of the first sentence:

"Heavenly Covering Formation: There are sixteen Heavenly Formations, the outer side is square and the inner side is round. Four of them are Wind Rising. Its image is like the sky. It is the master of the formation and the leader of the troops. If you make good use of the three armies, its shape will not be biased."

At first glance, I recognize every word, but when they are put together, I can't understand them.

Xing Daorong felt a bit of a headache, his intuition was blank and he couldn't think of anything.

There was no way I could go on like this. After thinking about it, I couldn't just give up, so I asked someone to make a sand table.

Afterwards, back home, Xing Daorong continued to study the mysteries of the Bagua diagram on the sand table. Even if he couldn't master it thoroughly, he had to first be able to "talk about it on paper" before he could use it in the future.

It is not so easy to just talk about it and learn these theoretical knowledge.

So Xing Daorong went into seclusion directly.
He was in such a complete seclusion that he was completely unaware even when his two wives returned to Chengdu from Xicheng.

"Sister, what does this husband do? He doesn't let anyone in, doesn't talk to anyone, and only wants three meals a day?"

Da Qiao felt somewhat anxious when she saw that she came back with Fan Yufeng but could not see Xing Daorong.

No wonder she was worried.

After all, she and Fan Yufeng hadn't seen Xing Daorong for quite some time. As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage. They should be more excited after not seeing each other for such a long time. How could they not see each other behind closed doors?

Fortunately, Fan Yufeng had been with Xing Daorong for a long time and understood Xing Daorong's temper, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, sister. I think you have encountered some difficulties. We just have to wait."

So the two beauties came back, but they didn't even see Xing Daorong.

Of course, Xing Daorong can eat and drink in the house, but he has to go out to defecate and urinate.

But when this guy went out, he just walked with his head down, without even looking left or right, as if he was possessed by a demon.

After more than ten days, Fan Yufeng finally began to get anxious.

After asking around, I found out that he became like this after leaving the Military Advisor's Mansion.

When Fan Yufeng saw this, she knew she had to ask Zhuge Liang to resolve the situation.

He made up his mind and prepared to go directly to the military advisor's residence to find someone.

As a result, before he left the house, Zhuge Liang heard the noise and came. Seeing Fan Yufeng's slightly blaming expression, he smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, don't worry. I heard about the general's situation and came here to see him."

Fan Yufeng naturally knew Zhuge Liang's status. She had risked her life for her husband before, so when she saw Zhuge Liang coming on his own initiative, she did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Besides
Everyone knows that the military advisor is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, so it is not easy for him to find time to come and see him.

She bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Military Advisor. My husband is fine in other aspects, but he ignores everyone and makes me really worried."

Zhuge Liang was somewhat surprised at Xing Daorong's devotion to his work, as the Eight Diagrams Formation was not something that could be figured out immediately.

But he said, "It's okay, I'll go and take a look."

Arriving at Xing Daorong's door, he knocked and said, "General, it's time to get up!"

After saying that, he waited for a moment, but found no sound.

Frowning, Zhuge Liang quickly called out, "Zi Yu! Are you here?"

This time, finally, there was a response.

But a loud voice came from inside: "Kong Ming, come quickly! I have a lot of questions and really wanted to find you. Now you are here!"

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate any longer and went into the house immediately.

Inside there was a large sand table, with various books on the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes piled on both sides.

Just as he was about to speak, Xing Daorong grabbed him and said, "Kong Ming, take a look at my diagram. Is there something wrong with it?"

Zhuge Liang took a quick look and saw a map with various military formations drawn on it.

There are also various graphics marked on it, like some code.

"What is this?"

Now it was Zhuge Liang's turn to be confused, as he couldn't understand what the symbols above meant.

Xing Daorong said: "This is a number. Um. It is the numerical symbol of one, two, three, and four. In order to make it look simpler, I just used this symbol to mark it."

As he said this, he seemed not to want to dwell on this issue at all, and directly pulled Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming, come and see if what I said is right..."

"This is the Eight General Formations. The northwest is Qiandi, Qian is the sky formation; the southwest is Kundi, Kun is the earth formation; the southeast is Xunju, Xun is the wind formation; the northeast is Genju, Gen is the mountain, and the mountains and rivers have clouds, which is the cloud formation."

"Use water, fire, gold and wood to form the four strange formations of dragon, tiger, bird and snake as the special forces. The formation is arranged as follows: the Azure Dragon Formation on the left, the White Tiger Formation on the right, the Vermillion Bird Formation in front, and the Black Tortoise Snake Formation in the back, with General Xu in the middle. The eight formations are arranged in the overall formation, which is 8864 formations. I have marked them one by one."

"Add to that the twenty-four formations of mobile soldiers, combined with each other, and their current arrangement is all in this table!"

Having said this, Xing Daorong turned over the canvas, and Zhuge Liang took a look and saw a huge table.

Xing Daorong was saying a series of numbers on it, followed by a certain variation of the Bagua formation. Its characteristics, uses, and puzzles were all included in it!
Zhuge Liang looked as if he had been electrocuted and shuddered all over.

Take Xing Daorong's method of summarizing and generalizing, for example. He had never heard of it before.

Besides, that kind of digital symbols are even more mysterious and refined.

Without bothering to explain, he pulled Xing Daorong back and asked, "Zi Yu, did you come up with all these yourself?"

Seeing Xing Daorong nod slightly, Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and he could no longer bear it, so he said: "Zi Yu, don't leave, I will go find Xiaozhi and Cui Gong here!"

After saying that, he ran out without stopping for a moment.

Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao watched Zhuge Liang rush out the door, and then within a cup of tea, he brought two great scholars—Fa Zheng and Cui Yan—over here.

The three of them rushed into Xing Daorong's room and fell silent again.
