Gold is the most precious. As a precious metal, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not depreciate much in any dynasty or at any time. However, it is so precious that it will not be used except by princes to reward their subordinates. It can be seen in other places, and ordinary people don’t even think about it.
The most important thing is food. During the Three Kingdoms period, the currency transaction system almost disappeared, and barter became the main method of purchase. Food was the most important circulation material and played the role of currency.
Since the Han Dynasty, most officials' salaries have been paid in grain. Two thousand shi refers to two thousand shi of grain, not money. Besides, most of it was millet, and rice was reserved for the emperor, so after a few years, Cao Cao became the largest tycoon and landowner, and the richest man in the country.
But grain also has disadvantages, that is, it will always be eaten. Even if it cannot be eaten, it is inconvenient to store because it will become moldy. Moreover, dozens or hundreds of kilograms of food must be shipped out for each transaction, and transportation is inconvenient, so it is not used as currency. , the food is not the best either.
Then there is the emergence of silk. Silk is the general name for all kinds of silk and satin, but ordinary people will hardly use it to make clothes because it is too expensive. It is considered a luxury product now, so it is only used for trade, such as As food, silk is small in size, does not deteriorate, is light in weight, and cannot be eaten, so it is most suitable for currency circulation. For a long time, silk was the most important currency in circulation during the Three Kingdoms period, and merchants also used silk to The value of items bought and sold was calculated, and silk was even used to pay official salaries. This custom lasted until the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
So among Diao Chan's rewards, there were actually some silk handkerchiefs. In fact, these things could also be exchanged for food. After all, in this remote country, there couldn't be anything too valuable.
I just walked and sang all the way. Although the journey was difficult, I had no worries about food and clothing.
Li Yuguo's four counties in Jingnan have reached the end, but Li Yuguo's vigorous and resolute methods have frightened many people. At this time, Wuling and Lingling actually joined forces and gathered 30,000 troops to deal with Li Huguo's army.
Arriving next to the Lingjiang River, the only place across the river was Lingling. In front of the formation, there was a young general named Liu Xian. Liu Xian held a big sword and shouted: "The traitor Li Bolong, please gather together." Ten thousand soldiers and horses, what do you want to do here? If you know what I mean, retreat quickly! I have 30,000 soldiers here!"
Li Yuguo smiled and said to himself that Liu Xian was the son of the prefect Liu Du. Liu Du loved his son as much as his mother, and he only had one son under his knees, so he took care of him in every possible way.
However, excessive care has long ago made this kid have a arrogant personality. At this time, his harsh words sounded quite offensive.
Li Yuguo said: "Huangmao boy, I won't talk to you. I asked you, Liu Du, to come out and tell me that I am the governor of Jingzhou, and you are just a humble general. Talking to you is insulting to me." identity!"
Li Yuguo's words were a provocation, and Liu Xian was so angry that he shouted: "Come here, go and capture Li Huguo immediately!"
"Yes!" The two generals divided themselves into left and right, and charged towards Li Yuguo.
Li Yuguo has never fought on his own. One of the reasons is that he is now the governor and cannot do what these generals do. He is not a general now. It is okay to win a duel in front of the battle, but if he loses, his life will be in danger. It's dangerous.
And after this, if Li Yuguo, as the coach, dies, how can the soldiers behind him still have the will to fight? I'm afraid the trees will fall and the hozens will be scattered immediately, so this is an unnecessary battle.
But Li Yuguo can be said to have been holding back his nerves these days. Just watching Wei Yan and Guan Sheng fight, he felt itchy all over and wanted to fight. However, Pang Tong tried to dissuade him several times, saying that Li Yuguo had to be steady.
So at this time, he found a breakthrough along the way. When he saw the enemy coming up, he laughed and said, "Well done!"
As he spoke, he raised his knife and rushed forward, stabbing directly into the head of an enemy general.
The enemy took pity on him and raised the spear above his head. Unexpectedly, Li Huguo's attack was so powerful that it immediately cut off the spear above his head like a mountain bearing down on him!
The spear shattered, and Li Yuguo's broadsword cut off half of the enemy general's head from above.
With a bang, brains mixed with plasma shot out everywhere. The man died on the spot, and the incision was smooth, just like a skull specimen in a medical school.
But Li Yuguo's sword was not flat but he struck again. He turned the big knife in his hand and wrinkled it. Suddenly, a big windmill came from behind. With a trick of dragging the knife, he directly lifted the big horse from the bottom up. Everyone was chopped to the ground, and the general above him was pushed up by Lao Gao. Li Yuguo immediately raised his sword and suddenly pointed the knife edge upward. The fallen man was directly stabbed in the abdomen by the knife wound. Li Yuguo held the knife with one hand like this, and the knife was on There was also a corpse, which made the enemies tremble with fear.
Li Yuguo shouted: "Who else wants to come over and discuss with me? You're welcome, just come!"
"As expected of Li Bolong, this Li Bolong has a sun-moon sword in his hand. It is golden during the day and blue at night. The blade is sharp and can break hair when blowing. It is the sword passed down from Li Bolong's family. It is said that it has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and Li Bolong This person is extremely powerful and powerful, and we are absolutely no match for him. Otherwise, why don’t we wait for the opportunity and retreat before we retreat? When there is a chance, it will not be too late to fight back." Liu Xian said to a general beside him.
This man is none other than Liu Du's most brave general, Xing Daorong, who is known as one of the most outstanding generals in the Three Kingdoms era!
As we all know, Pan Feng in the north and Daorong in the south, General Pan defeated Xing Daorong and firmly occupied the throne of the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms. Of course, this was not a powerful general, but a bragging general. And this Xing Daorong was Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling. The first general under his command.
Xing Daorong took a step forward and said: "Li Bolong, right? Even if you are Li Bolong, so what?" I heard that you have a long knife that shines brightly with the sun and the moon, but my mountain-breaking ax weighs more than sixty pounds, and it is said to have Ten thousand people are not worthy of their bravery, and my martial arts skills are not comparable to those of Lian Po and Li Mu from ancient times!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind Li Huguo burst into laughter, which made Xing Daorong unable to step down.
Li Yuguo took a closer look and found that Xing Daorong was also the best among the elite military generals. It is no wonder that in the original history, in the battle of the four counties in Jingnan, Zhao Zilong from Guiyang County led three thousand troops and Zhang Yide from Wuling County alone. Leading three thousand soldiers and horses, Guan Yu from Changsha County alone led five hundred swordsmen. Only from Lingling County, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Zhao Zilong, and Zhang Yide all came out, totaling fifteen thousand soldiers and horses. This shows that Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others attach great importance to Lingling County and Xing Daorong.
When the two armies were fighting, Zhuge's military counselor deliberately set up a formation to lure Xing Daorong into the formation, which further showed that he valued Xing Daorong and did not dare to take it lightly.

[Special skill·Daorong scolding array: can increase the enemy's strength by ten points]
The corner of Li Yuguo's mouth twitched. After taking a closer look at his attributes, he actually temporarily increased his strength by ten points. Although the physics was acceptable, Xing Daorong's ability to add strength to the opponent's generals was truly rare!
