Chapter 109: One Hundred Thousand Whys
That's right!
The set of "mental methods" written by Huaxing to Zhang Liao is the well-known "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Table" for modern people.
He wrote from "one by one to one" to "ninety-nine eighty-one", and one declined.
Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to show off this set of mathematical "mental methods", but I didn't expect Zhang Liao to say that he had seen a few of them before, which surprised Huaxing.
It didn't take long to see Hua Xing and said in surprise:
"Military law books? Who wrote it? How will they know my mind? ”
"Well, you let me think about it."
Seeing that Huaxing suddenly asked about this, Zhang Liao really couldn't remember clearly, and said while recalling:
"I remember I saw it from the public platform. It should be either "Warring States Policy" or "Huainanzi". In two days, I'll ask Lord Gongtai, and he will definitely remember. ”
Hua Xing originally thought that most of the formulas Zhang Liao said were "traces" left by other traversers, just like the puzzles that Lu Pu had in Luoyang.
But after hearing the names "Warring States Policy" and "Huainanzi", Huaxing realized that it was not like that at all.
Because these two sets of books are treasures left by authentic Chinese ancestors.
If there is a similar record in these two sets of books, it means that as early as more than 2,000 years ago, someone created the "Multiplication Formula" in this magical Chinese continent!
It's just that Huaxing, who is "lonely and unheard", has never known about it before.
"Oh, it's two...... Then when I have time, I will definitely read it. ”
After nodding with admiration, I saw Huaxing bring the topic back to the topic:
"Ahem, as for this set of mental methods, it doesn't matter if you can't understand it now, I'll tell you slowly in the future. All you have to do now is memorize it all. I'm ...... seven days later Oh no, will come and check in a month. If you haven't memorized it by then, the teacher will definitely punish you! ”
After listening to the master's request, Zhang Liao nodded as soon as possible.
Then, he carefully folded the "heart method" and put it in his arms like a treasure.
Since there are more layers of master-apprentice relationship, Hua Xingding can't eat enough and leave, and the two sat at the table again and chatted.
During this period, Huaxing also tentatively asked about the Lu Mansion.
Facing his master, Zhang Liao didn't think much about it, and quickly told Huaxing about the situation in Lu Mansion.
But when it comes to the matter of "getting started", Zhang Liao also said that there is nothing he can do.
Who to let in and who not to let in, that is Lu Bu alone, not someone else can influence it.
After hearing this, Huaxing knew that this road was not going through, and quickly diverted the topic.
"By the way, master, there is something I want to ask you."
As soon as he heard that he had something to ask, Huaxing immediately frowned.
The heart said, this Zhang Liao should not be possessed by "100,000 whys", right?
As far as the time to eat the bowl of noodles, he had already asked dozens of questions.
If you continue to ask like this, Huaxing is really overwhelmed.
"What's the problem? It's about the art of Dunjia again? ”
"No, no!"
This time, Zhang Liao shook his head happily:
"It's about the last reception."
"Reception feast?" Hearing this, Hua Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, then let's hear it." ”
"Good! I remember that at the banquet, when General Lu asked you what reward you wanted, the master made three requests at that time. ”
"Yes, it is."
"You mentioned the request at the time...... I don't really understand. ”
"Huh? Which one don't you understand? ”
"Three of a kind...... I don't understand! Zhang Liao said with a puzzled face:
"On this expedition, the master defeated the thieves with a thousand soldiers. Obviously, you have the greatest credit, but you don't take credit for yourself, but you take credit for those soldiers, the dead, and the lieutenant generals, what is the reason? ”
Huaxing really didn't expect Zhang Liao to ask about it, and after hearing it, he saw Huaxing smile slightly.
But instead of rushing to reply, he pointed to the bowl on the table and asked a seemingly unrelated question:
"Before I answer, I want to ask you a question. What do you think of Uncle Wang's lo mein? ”
Although he didn't know what Huaxing meant, Zhang Liao still replied truthfully:
"Of course it's delicious! In this Hongnong City, my favorite food is the lo mein made by Uncle Wang. ”
"That's right! I also think it's very delicious! ”
After nodding in agreement, he listened to Huaxing again:
"And why do you think it's so delicious?"
"Do you need to ask? Of course, it's because Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is good! Zhang Liao replied without thinking.
"That's right, Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is very good. But ......" Speaking of this, I listened to Huaxing's voice and said:
"If I replace the wheat noodles of lo mein with yellow rice or soybeans, or replace the green onion salt with garlic vinegar, and still let Uncle Wang cook, do you think it will still be delicious?"
"Huh? Switching to yellow rice noodles? Still put vinegar? ”
After hearing this, Zhang Liao had the answer after a little thought:
"It's probably not very tasty!"
"Indeed it is! Therefore, it is impossible to make delicious lo mein without Uncle Wang's craftsmanship alone, but without the right ingredients. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this is the truth. ”
Seeing that Zhang Liao nodded slightly, Hua Xing brought the topic back to the question just now:
"And cooking is like fighting a war. Don't look at the commander-in-chief, who is both wise and brave, and it seems that the victory is all their credit. But in fact, without the help of the soldiers below who paid silently, it would be impossible to win the battle by relying on the commander alone! ”
Zhang Liao has a very high level of understanding, and after listening to Huaxing's metaphor of "lo mein", he quickly understood what the other party meant.
But it was not easy to get him to accept this concept, and soon he opened his mouth and said:
"Soldiers are important! But no matter how important it is, it can't be compared to the commander-in-chief, right? I'll also give you an example, if this time it was not the master who led the troops, but I or someone else went, it would have been impossible to capture Qiankun Mountain with a thousand remnants. So in my opinion, it is more important to be in chief! Winning the battle, of course, is also the greatest credit to the commander! ”
"Of course you're right!"
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Hua Xing also nodded his head:
"The commander is the soul and brain of the army, the one who gives orders. When the two armies fight, most of the time they are actually competing for mental power, the importance of which is of course self-evident, and I never think that the commander is not important. ”
But when it comes to this, I listened to Huaxing's voice:
"But in my opinion, the light of the commander-in-chief in the army is already enough, and it is even a little exaggerated, too dazzling! So much so that it is easy to forget about the fighters who fought on the front line. Hehe, just like General Zhang, our army won the battle, but you don't think that the soldiers and lieutenants who went with me deserve to be rewarded, this ...... Isn't there a problem? ”
