Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 363 Liu Qi: Zhuge Liang's Special Weapon, Northern Liang War
In the conference room, there were only seven people left, namely Gu Rubing, Taishi Ci, Liu Qi, Huang Zu, Huang Zhong, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. Among them, Gu Rubing and Taishi Ci were outsiders, after all, they belonged to Jingzhou. Liu Qi could not be counted either, after all, he was the protagonist. In the final analysis, it was only Huang Zu, the uncle and nephew, and the brothers Kuai Liang who decided whether to appoint Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou.

These four were all indispensable civil and military officials in Jingzhou. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were the two most trusted advisers of Liu Biao. They were also the ones who helped Liu Biao to seize Jingzhou from the beginning. It can be said that the two were original shares in Jingzhou.

Huang Zu and Huang Zhong are from the Jiangxia Huang family. They have deep roots, are loyal, and have strong fighting power. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the ceiling of Jingzhou. Without the two of them, Jingzhou can be said to be a huge empty shell. So if these four people do not support Liu Qi, even if Liu Qi really takes the position of Jingzhou Governor, he will not be able to sit there for too long.

"My father is dead, and Jingzhou cannot be without a ruler for a day. When my father was alive, he appointed me as the crown prince, and I should succeed him as the governor of Jingzhou. However, no matter which of you four is stronger than me in terms of strength and qualifications."

Liu Qi stood up.

"But I believe that under the leadership of Uncle Liu and with the assistance of the four of you, one day I will be as good as my father, or even surpass him. I hope you can give me a chance to prove myself."

Liu Qi bowed to several people. Huang Zhong stood up first, followed by Huang Zu and Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue stood up last.

"I am willing to follow the young master."

As the few people recognized Liu Qi as their master, their panels also appeared in front of Gu Rubing, but their panels were all gray and could not be seen.

Gu Rubing understood in his heart that it seemed that the other party had not really accepted him yet, and only chose Liu Qi. Gu Rubing had to accept him as a subordinate before he could open the panel.

Gu Rubing didn't hesitate any more and opened Liu Qi's panel properties.

【Name: Liu Qi】

[Identity: Prince of Jingzhou]

[Characteristics: wealthy (Liu Qi was born into a wealthy family in Jingzhou and is quite prestigious in the local area), learn from one example and apply it to other situations (Although Liu Qi is stupid by nature, he is active and eager to learn)]

[Effect of a Wealthy Family: Lord Liu Qi's public favorability in Jingzhou increases by 20. When serving as a military advisor, his troops' attack power increases by 300% and their defense power increases by 300%]

[Effect of learning from one thing and applying it to another: When Liu Qi participates in the use of a strategy, he has a 100% chance to supplement the strategy, effect: increase the benefit bonus of the strategy by 100%; there is a 66% chance to upgrade the strategy, effect: increase the benefit bonus of the strategy by 200%; there is a 33% chance to give a second strategy, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort with the first one, effect: increase the benefit of the two strategies by 400%.]

[Strategist Level: Second-rate Strategist (0/100)]

【Skill:
Classics: Level 3 (0/100) Liu Qi has read a lot of books, but his understanding is not enough and he needs to study further. Effect: Advisor experience +30%]

[Battle Formation: None]

[National Policy: None]

[Strategy effect:
Guardian: When fighting in Jingzhou or other counties bordering Jingzhou, all gains of the troops will be +500%. When fighting in areas not bordering Jingzhou, all gains of the troops will be +200%.

[Evaluation: Liu Qi is just a young man who has just been promoted to a second-rate counselor. He still needs time to grow. Perhaps he can become a person like his idol Zhuge Liang. ]

A cursory look at Liu Qi's panel can only be described as ordinary, and a little too ordinary. Only the guardian with the military advisor effect has some value, and there is a hard requirement. He must fight in Jingzhou or the area bordering Jingzhou to have a 500-point increase in all attributes. Otherwise, it is only 200%.

If you look closely, you will find a very interesting point, that is, Liu Qi's ability to draw inferences about other situations is actually average, just looking at the introduction. Even if it really triggers a 33% chance and is given a strategy, the added gain is only 400%, and the gain of the strategy is not particularly high.

However, the most crucial thing is that Gu Rubing has Zhuge Liang as his military advisor, and Zhuge Liang has an extremely extraordinary characteristic, that is, the Thirty-Six Stratagems. For example, in the last battle, Zhuge Liang proposed several strategies in succession, with a temporary bonus of more than 1000%.

What if Liu Qi triggers the "Draw Inferences from One Example" at this time? Even at the lowest level, there is a 100% increase in all attributes, and this 100% is not applied to the troops, but to the strategy, and then to the troops. This means that even the lowest level of "Draw Inferences from One Example" can increase the attribute gain by more than 1000%.

Correspondingly, if the second level is triggered, it will be doubled again, and if the highest level is triggered and there is another strategy, it will be a terrifying 400% gain in both directions.

It can be said that Liu Qi's attributes would not have much effect no matter where he is, and it is no wonder that Liu Biao looked down on him. There is only one exception, and that is Zhuge Liang. Only with Zhuge Liang can Liu Qi exert his full strength.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Qi was Zhuge Liang's special military officer.

"My lord, my lord?"

Liu Qi's voice brought Gu Rubing back to reality. Liu Qi did not avoid the four people around him at all and just called Gu Rubing "Lord", which shows that he has a kind heart.

"My father is dead. Although I can inherit the position of Jingzhou Governor, it is not legitimate after all. Can you help me get the appointment as Jingzhou Governor?"

"Of course, I will go to Xudu in a while to meet His Majesty, and I will definitely get the imperial edict for you then."

Gu Rubing smiled and said that he was just about to go to Xudu, and asking for a letter of appointment for Liu Qi was just a casual matter. Although he now controlled several states, he had not been recognized by the royal family. If Cao Cao made a big fuss about this, it might affect his virtue. Besides, with an identity, some things would be much easier to do.

Therefore, a trip to Xuzhou was imperative, not only for Liu Qi, but also for Guan Yu of Bingzhou, Zhang Liao of Xuzhou, Zhang He of Jizhou, and Zhang Fei of Youzhou. They all needed to take over the city legitimately. If anyone attacked in the future, it would be considered a betrayal of the Han Dynasty.

You must know that Gu Rubing's characteristics and the characteristics of many generals and counselors under his command all have the effect of increasing benefits in fighting against the hostile tribes of the Han Dynasty. A trip to Xu Du will be beneficial in every way.

As for Cao Cao's desire to kill Gu Rubing in Xu City, Gu Rubing just wanted to say that Cao Cao now did not have the strength to lift his head.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this half month, with the help of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, Liu Qi invested a large amount of Jingzhou's wealth into military construction. In this era, you can only fight a war if you have money. Otherwise, what will the soldiers eat, drink, and how can they be paid?
Seeing that Jingzhou was already back on track, Gu Rubing did not stay any longer. He did not have much time left, and he had to help Ma Teng and his son capture Han Sui as quickly as possible. Only in this way could Gu Rubing completely encircle Cao Cao.

One morning, Gu Rubing took Taishi Ci out of the city of Xiangyang in Jingzhou. Liu Qi escorted them to the city gate and watched Gu Rubing leave at the gate before returning to the city.

As Gu Rubing and his men got farther and farther away from Xiangyang City, their team grew larger and larger. The original team of only two people now has more than 300 people, and the number is still increasing. These are the roaming crossbow captains that Gu Rubing had sent out before entering Xiangyang City, and they are now slowly returning to the team.

A few days before Gu Rubing left Jingzhou, a letter was sent to Qingzhou. In the letter, Gu Rubing expressed to Zhuge Liang his desire to go to Liangzhou to help Ma Teng and his son pacify Han Sui. Gu Rubing believed that Zhuge Liang would have thought of everything without him saying much, and he would only have to execute it then.

Three days later, Gu Rubing met Zhao Yun who was leading 30,000 cavalrymen. Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci were almost promoted to famous generals. Gu Rubing planned to take this opportunity to make both of them famous generals. Gu Rubing was still looking forward to the characteristics that would be given to the two after they were promoted to famous generals.

In addition to the 30,000 cavalry, Zhao Yun also brought 10,000 Zhuge Crossbows, which made those soldiers who didn't get the Zhuge Crossbows very envious. These 10,000 Zhuge Crossbows were all made by Zhuge Liang in a hurry during this period of time. In addition to the mobile crossbow captain who was responsible for intelligence and assassination, Gu Rubing also planned to build a mobile crossbow cavalry corps of 30,000 people, an army that could attack and win.

"My Lord! Brother Ziyi!"

After seeing Gu Rubing, Zhao Yun rode his horse forward and came to Gu Rubing's side.

"Brother Zilong, long time no see."

Taishi Ci also greeted with a smile, while Gu Rubing hit Zhao Yun on the chest.

"You know there's going to be a war, so why are you so excited?"

Zhao Yun nodded excitedly.

"Yes, that's right. Before I came here, Military Advisor Zhuge gave me a blueprint and said you could understand it."

"Oh? What good stuff has the military advisor researched?"

Gu Rubing took the parchment with a smile. There were ten figures on the parchment, and each one had densely packed small seal characters next to it, from one to ten.

"Is this a battle formation?"

Zhao Yun on the side looked at the parchment in Gu Rubing's hand with some confusion, and Taishi Ci on the other side was also attracted by the parchment.

The long snake formation, the two dragons emerging from the water formation, the heaven and earth three elements formation, the four gates bottom support formation, the five tigers and sheep formation, the six Dings and six Jias formation, the seven-star Big Dipper formation, the eight-gate golden lock formation, the nine sons chain formation, and the ten-sided ambush formation.

There are a total of ten formations, and the changes from one to ten are all recorded on parchment. In addition to the ten battle formations, Zhuge Liang also made a detailed analysis of all the current formations.

Not only did it summarize the strategies that infantry and cavalry could use, such as circular formation, numerical formation, cone formation, hook formation, but there were also formations named after their shapes, such as goose formation and crane formation, as well as cloud formation for archers, Ying Wei formation for encircling the enemy, He Sui formation for surprise attack, and the Bagua formation that was previously included in Zhuge Liang's panel attributes.

It can be said that this piece of parchment is enough to create a master of military strategy!
"Hahahahahaha, I have Military Advisor Zhuge, it's like a fish in water!"

Gu Rubing laughed loudly towards the sky, and Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci also smiled.

Liangzhou has been a cold and bitter place since ancient times, but it is in this cold and bitter place that the most mighty war horses and the most powerful cavalry were born.

At this moment in Zang County, the capital of Weiwu County, two waves of cavalry were fighting in the desert. Their blood flew high and splashed on the desert. The thick blood rolled down and was swallowed by the desert in an instant.

Among the troops of both sides, there was a young general wearing a black helmet and green armor. He shuttled back and forth between the two armies like a dragon, with his spear raised and heads falling to the ground!
His green armor was particularly eye-catching among the team wearing black armor. The blood splattered on the armor added a touch of red to the original green, making it even more intimidating.

"kill!"

The young man in green armor had just rushed out from the enemy's crowd, roared again, and rushed back without hesitation.

Ma Teng was sitting on the battlefield, only a hundred meters away from the fighting. Watching his son killing one enemy after another on the battlefield, Ma Teng couldn't help but smile.

When he first entered the game, he almost cried when he saw the desolate Liangzhou, but fortunately, Liangzhou still had Liangzhou horses, powerful cavalry, and brave people. Everyone was a good soldier. Most importantly, his son looked respectable.

Originally he thought that his son should be a handsome scholar, but unexpectedly he was actually a handsome warrior. He once fought against three of Han Sui's three masters alone and defeated them all.

Now, both he and Han Sui have reached the critical point. Both of them may collapse at any time. Now it depends on who has greater endurance.

Ma Teng narrowed his eyes slightly. As long as he defeated Han Sui, he could firmly sit on the position of Governor of Liang Province. At that time, the whole Liang Province would be at his disposal, so there would be no need to worry about development.

Just as Ma Teng was imagining a better life in the future, he suddenly discovered that there were two cavalrymen wearing heavy armor rushing towards him.

Wherever the two men passed, broken limbs flew everywhere. One of them even slapped his warhorse to the ground with one palm. Looking at this scene, Ma Teng couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems that someone on the other side wants to imitate Meng Qi and fight his way through my cavalry formation. May I ask which general dares to fight against these two people?"

"I go!"

"Leave the other one to me!"

As Ma Teng asked the question, two riders rode out. They were Ma Chao's cousin Ma Dai, and Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Xiu. Both of them were second-rate generals. Except for a few people in Liangzhou, no one could be their match. However, obviously, those people in Liangzhou did not include the two before them.

"You are just relying on the might of your heavy cavalry to show off your power. I will meet you in person!"

"Tell me your name, I won't kill nameless people!"

Ma Dai and Ma Xiu did not take the two heavily armored soldiers who fought their way through the battle seriously at all, thinking that they were only able to do so because of the advantage of their equipment.

Finally, the two of them killed their way through Ma Teng's cavalry and came close to Ma Dai and Ma Xiu. At this time, Ma Dai and the others were shocked to find that the legs of the Liangzhou horses under the two men were trembling due to being crushed. You know, the Liangzhou horses are the best at carrying loads, but at this moment they were crushed to the point that they were about to fall down.

Without giving Ma Dai and Ma Xiu a chance to react, one of them leaped up from his horse and swung the broadsword in his hand. The cold light was as if a silver-white galaxy was falling on his head. Ma Xiu still did not give up and raised his spear to block, but there was a sound that was loud enough to shatter his eardrums, and the spear made of fine steel in Ma Dai's hand was actually hit by a white mark.

Matthew's arms were shaking from the blow, his knuckles were broken, and he was thrown flying by the spear that was hit back, hitting the ground hard, raising a cloud of dust.
