Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 25 Captain Renyong
Cao Bin muttered in his heart, it seems that this kid is really talented?These three praises are also considered to be the best in mathematics in the capital, especially the half-century old man named Jia Xian is a famous master of mathematics in the world, and he has surpassed the current Guozi Jiancheng in mathematics.During this labor expedition, the distribution of food and grass in the army's logistics was a serious problem, so the officials specially transferred Jia Xian to the third division envoy to assist the general in charge of logistics. , saving a lot of food and grass materials.

Now this kid Yechen can suppress Jia Xian and gain the upper hand, which really surprised Cao Bin.

Especially when one thinks that Ye Chen is only in his twenties and has only been studying arithmetic for so many years, and Jia Xian, as he said, has studied arithmetic for most of his life, but now he is at a disadvantage in the competition with Ye Chen. It is conceivable that Ye Chen What a monster in arithmetic.

In fact, Ye Chen is already 25 years old, but the living environment of later generations is not comparable to what he is now. Even though he was in the army before, because he went to a military academy and graduated from a graduate school, he is an officer, which is not unusual. warrior.In addition, for some reason, since he was salvaged from the river, his skin has become fair and smooth, and even the bags under the eyes and some wrinkles that had appeared due to reading and playing computer games at night have completely disappeared.It's just that Ye Chen hasn't looked in the mirror after waking up, so he still doesn't know.

Therefore, compared to people of this age, Ye Chen looks four or five years younger.

Cao Bin's thoughts turned, and he had completely believed that Ye Chen was really a master's disciple.At this time, he casually looked at the three followers.Seeing this, he was taken aback.

I saw that the three supporters thought the table was too small, so they put the hemp paper on the ground, and the three lay down on the ground, muttering words, writing and drawing with their hands, covered in dust as if falling into a madness.

Cao Bin was stunned at first, but then his heart was shaken. It was simply that he was in the upper hand, and he solved the answer to a question casually, which made the most proficient person in Da Song in the way of arithmetic fall into madness. Only Ye Chen was there. This situation can only happen when he far surpasses Jia Xian in one aspect of arithmetic.

He glanced at Ye Chen, who was also looking at the three praises with great interest, and said, "Ye Chen! This commander asks you, do you want to become a citizen of my Great Song Dynasty and work for my Great Song Dynasty."

When Ye Chen heard the words, he couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that what he was waiting for was your words.

Up to now, Ye Chen has no hesitation in his heart, and he has no choice in fact. He gritted his teeth secretly, and knelt down on one knee to Cao Bin, doing a military salute like he saw those soldiers before, and said: "General Ye Chen is willing to become a citizen of our Great Song Dynasty, and is willing to join the army to serve our Great Song Dynasty."

Cao Bin looked delighted. He was worried that Ye Chen would not be an official in the court because he was used to the unfettered life of wild cranes.

"Hahaha...Okay! You get up first! This is what I'm waiting for. Although I don't know what other skills you have besides arithmetic, but since you come from an expert, you must have some skills." Quite a few unique skills. However, the most important military merit in our Great Song Army. You have just arrived, and you have not killed a single enemy. Hmm... Fortunately, you have brought military intelligence to our army this time, which is considered a great contribution. Kou Yuyan said that the person who found out about the military will be promoted to two levels, and he will be rewarded with 50 taels of gold."

Having said that, Cao Bin paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about what position and official should be given to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen got up, thought of Liu Nan's entrustment before his death, and said: "General! This military situation is all obtained by Liu Nan and his nine spies in exchange for their lives. I dare not take credit for it. So I also ask the general to share your majesty's reward with you." Liu Nan and their family members."

Cao Bin showed admiration in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, my Great Song Army has clear rewards and punishments. Liu Nan and the others have made great contributions. Although they have died in battle, after this battle, they will follow the relevant regulations of the army. In their family. As for the extra 50 taels of gold rewarded by the official family, it will also be distributed to Liu Nan and others’ families according to what you said. However, the promotion of the official position as the official family said can completely fall on you. Hmm... then You are awarded the post of Lieutenant Renyong. Are you satisfied?"

Ye Chen didn't expect Cao Bin to award him a lieutenant directly, and he was a little happy in his heart, so he knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, saying, "My subordinates thank you, General Xie."

At this time, a loud roar suddenly came from the side, which startled Ye Chen and Cao Bin.

"So... so... so... No! No! Why is this? Why is this?" It turned out that among the three counselors who had fallen into madness, Jia Xian suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with joy. , but with deep doubts, he pulled out a few of the beautiful beards he had grown for a long time with one hand, without feeling any pain.

Ye Chen and Cao Bin looked at each other, and they both laughed loudly at the same time. After a while, Cao Bin stopped his smile and said, "Come on! Send the three praises back to your account, um... take that hemp The paper is also sent over."

After the three disciples were sent away, Cao Bin laughed loudly again, with no concealment of the relief on his face, he patted Ye Chen's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Good boy! Those three disciples would have been here for a long time. It's not pleasing to the eye, especially when Jia Xian distributes grain, grass and supplies with an accuracy of two, that's a sting! Seeing you stun them today, like a lunatic, I felt at ease."

Ye Chen thought to himself that you didn't have such an expression when the three praises were there just now, but you didn't expect that you were already gloating in your heart, and you were so happy.He didn't know what to say, he just rubbed his shoulder that hurt from being patted and smirked along with him.But then he suddenly felt that Jia Xian's name sounded familiar, and he was taken aback when he recalled it briefly.

"Jia Xian can't be that Jia Xian! Oh! Isn't that Jia Xian from the early Northern Song Dynasty?" Ye Chen murmured to himself.And they both happen to be masters of mathematics. Such a coincidence, they should be the same person.

Ye Chen remembered that "Song History" records that Jia Xian was a Chinese mathematician in the Northern Song Dynasty and one of the outstanding mathematicians in ancient China.He is the author of books such as "The Nine Chapters of the Yellow Emperor's Algorithm and Fine Grass", "Shisuo Calculus Book".Like most scientific and technological research in ancient China, Jia Xian's works have been lost, but he has made important contributions to the development of Chinese mathematics.In particular, the "Jia Xian Triangle" and the "Zheng Cheng Kai Method" created by him are still being used in later generations.The multiplication and opening method is the positive root method for finding higher powers. The principle and procedure of the comprehensive division in middle school mathematics in later generations are similar to it.Ye Chen remembered that the calculation procedure of the multiplication and opening method was roughly the same as that of the European mathematician Horner, but it was more than 700 years earlier than him.

"Your boy is an expert disciple. Why is your body so ordinary? It's just better than ordinary people." Cao Bin looked at Ye Chen's dazed look, and thought he was stunned by his intentional slapping. An accident flashed across his face, and he said cursingly.But he was very puzzled in his heart, especially when he thought of the scene when Ye Chen woke up and his brave generals were thrown away.Even more puzzled.

"Could it be that this kid really doesn't know advanced martial arts? The one who was bounced away earlier was also because of the Bigu Pill." Cao Bin murmured to himself.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Ye Chen! You don't know martial arts?"

Ye Chen no longer thought about Jia Xian, and said a little embarrassedly: "General! This subordinate's martial arts are at best better than ordinary people, and they only know some fighting skills. In addition, this subordinate can't ride a horse."

Although Cao Bin was a little surprised, he didn't say anything. He pointed to a lieutenant beside him and said, "Ye Chen! You are not familiar with everything in the army, so you will follow me as a soldier first. Yes! Chao is the best in martial arts and riding among the soldiers under my command, from now on he will take the time to teach you riding and killing with swords in the army."

Behind Ye Chen and Cao Bin, a burly man with a slightly dark complexion looked at each other, and at the same time clasped his fists and marched in salute: "Your orders are obeyed."

"Okay! Wang Chao, take Ye Chen to the logistics to get your clothes, armor, corresponding equipment, weapons, and horses. Also, take him around the barracks to get familiar with the environment." Cao Bin glanced at Ye Chen and said .

Ye Chen and the two immediately bowed to Cao Bin and withdrew from the account.

"Brother Wang! I'll trouble you about the little brother." Ye Chen took the initiative to clap his fists at Wang Chao, and said politely

Road.

Wang Chao laughed, but he was not as afraid of Ye Chen as the former soldier Li Hu. He put his arms around Ye Chen's shoulders and walked to his right hand, saying: "They are all my brothers, why are you polite. Let's go! I will take Ye Chen first." You go to get things, there are some things, we will talk as we walk."

Seeing this, Ye Chen felt relieved, thinking that Wang Chao seems to be a straightforward person, so he should be easy to get along with.

Ye Chen followed Wang Chao to receive his own military supplies, followed Wang Chao to a tent not far from the commander's tent, changed into the captain's uniform and armor, straddled his sword, carried a bow and arrow, and led the horse.Then he followed Wang Chao to the improvised training ground temporarily opened by Beidaying.

Whether it is Wang Chao or Ye Chen, they all know that during the war, they may fight the enemy at any time.Therefore, Ye Chen should learn how to ride a horse, fight with a sword, and use a bow and archery as soon as possible.

Ye Chen studied very seriously, his comprehension is good, and Wang Chao's riding skills are really superb, the professor Ye Chen did not hide anything, and took care of himself.

Therefore, within an hour or so, Ye Chen had initially learned how to ride a horse, and he was already able to gallop the horse.

Next, Wang Chao taught Ye Chen the basic skills of fighting with swords and bows and arrows.

Ye Chen is humble and always feels insecure, so he studies and trains extremely hard.

On the third day, Wang Chao was transferred back because of other important matters, and Ye Chen was the only one left. Train silently.

When I had doubts in my heart, I asked Wang Chao and other soldiers for advice when I was sleeping and eating at night.

In this way, Ye Chen trained for half a month.

On this day, Ye Chen was carrying a quiver on his back and holding a Song Army-style longbow—a hard bow of one stone (one stone refers to the strength of a hundred catties, there were three-stone bows in ancient times, and even bows with four or five stones. But in fact, Ordinary people can’t even draw a full stone bow. Most people can’t pull two stone bows at all. Anyone who can pull more than three stone bows is all born with supernatural power or possesses martial arts.)
Although Ye Chen has never practiced martial arts, he is also a person who has undergone formal training in later generations, and his physical strength is much higher than that of ordinary people. What's more, after the incident of the reclining Buddha temple, his physique has been continuously strengthened for some reason.And although this enhancement speed is slow, it is like a long stream of water, and it has never stopped.

Ye Chen was running and jumping on the training ground, constantly shooting arrows at the target.Whether it was crawling, squatting, standing, jumping, or running, the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Then he got on his horse, jogged, fasted, galloped, and kept shooting arrows.The same arrow hits the bullseye.

Such a scene, if Cao Bin, Wang Chao and other generals of the Song Dynasty saw it, they would be dumbfounded and unbelievable.

It is not uncommon for the military to have archers who have reached the level of archery with a hundred steps to piercing the Yang, and their arrows are nothing.The most important thing is that all archers have mastered strings for many years and have experienced countless times between life and death on the battlefield to reach this level.And Ye Chen had only been learning bow and arrow for ten days.

How can this not be amazing?
