Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 73: Secret Art of Heavy Pressure
"A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill has no skill!"

Ji Qiu sighed in his heart, then suddenly swung the Juque sword and chopped it towards the solid wooden table in the hall.

This solid wooden table is made of fine ebony, which is hard and heavy, and is not inferior to the ninth-grade dragon steel.

But in front of the Juque Sword, it was so fragile that it could withstand a single blow.

Before the Juque sword touched the table, an invisible yet powerful force surged out from the sword, pressing down like a towering mountain.

Even the air made a dull explosion sound under this heavy pressure, and the entire space seemed to be compressed, showing a strange distortion.

The solid wood desk first creaked under the heavy load, and then dense cracks quickly appeared on the surface.

In just a blink of an eye, the cracks spread to every part of the table, and then the entire table turned into powder with a "bang".

This is the power of the dragon weapon!

The power of dragon weapons has never been in their own strength and sharpness.

For example, the weapons and equipment that Ji Qiu is now equipping his troops with are made of dragon steel, which mainly utilize the strong and sharp properties of dragon steel to form combat effectiveness. They cannot be called dragon weapons at all.

The true power of the dragon weapon is reflected in the secret technique contained within it.

Just like this Juque sword, it contains the secret technique of dragon energy and heavy pressure!
Once it is used, it can generate pressure, and then generate destructive power through pressure.

This pressure can be condensed into one point, causing extreme destructive force on that point.

It can also expand the area, causing damage to all objects in the area at the same time.

However, the maximum level of use of the secret techniques contained in the dragon weapon cannot exceed the grade of the dragon weapon.

At the same time, to release the secret techniques in the dragon weapon, the user needs to provide corresponding dragon energy.

Therefore, even if an ordinary citizen accidentally obtained a powerful dragon weapon, it would actually be of no use.

Without sufficient dragon energy in the body, even the most powerful dragon weapon in hand will be of no use.

But if a powerful prince obtained a powerful dragon weapon, that would be a big deal.

It's like having a high-level secret technique out of thin air!

In the Battle of Changping at the end of the Warring States Period, Bai Qi, holding the top-grade dragon-weapon Killing Sword, used a secret technique to kill people, directly taking the lives of 400,000 Zhao soldiers.

In the Battle of Julu at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, holding the top-grade dragon weapon Overlord Halberd, used an unparalleled Overlord Slash to instantly crush 30,000 Qin troops into powder.

This is all due to the powerful effects of the secret techniques contained in the dragon weapon!
In the final Battle of Gaixia between the Chu and Han Dynasties, if Zhang Liang had not used the secret technique of "Four-Sided Chu Songs" to shake the morale of Xiang Yu's army, the amount of dragon energy in Xiang Yu's body would have been greatly reduced, making it impossible for him to perform high-level secret techniques.

Even if Han Xin had set up an ambush from all sides, he would not be able to stop the King of Western Chu who was holding the Overlord Halberd!

"Brother Shi, please thank Your Majesty for your grace on my behalf. With such a generous gift from Your Majesty, I will do my best until my death!" Ji Qiu took back the Juque sword, carefully put it into the sword case, and then said solemnly.

He was very satisfied with the reward given by Liu Hong. As far as he was concerned, he had no shortage of ordinary resources, but he lacked this kind of high-level resources.

Especially now that he is about to travel alone, this dragon weapon comes at the right time!
Shi A smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Ji, the commander-in-chief thanked His Majesty on your behalf when he bestowed this sword upon you.

When I return this time, I will thank the Lord again on your behalf!"

"In that case, I'll leave everything to Brother Shi and the Commander-in-Chief!
It's just a small gift, not a token of respect, but I hope Brother Shi and the Commander-in-Chief will accept it." Ji Qiu waved his hand, and several of his personal guards came up carrying three large boxes.

When he opened the box, it was filled with silver ingots.

During the late Han Dynasty, silver was also one of the circulating currencies.

It is the silver among the three golds.

The exchange rate with real gold is approximately between 1:5 and 1:6.

In addition to selling modern glassware, Ji Qiu's Rare Treasure Pavilion in Luoyang City also deals in gold and silver exchange.

This was the fundamental reason why he was able to accumulate a large amount of wealth in just a few months. However, the glassware was displayed in the open, while the gold and silver exchange transactions were kept in the dark, and Ji Qiu always controlled the scale of the exchange, which is why it did not attract attention.

To this day, Wang Yue and Shi A are undoubtedly Ji Qiu's supporters in the capital.

Although this backing is weak and will most likely only be used until Liu Hong passes away in April next year.

But we still have to win them over.

However, he was reluctant to use real gold to win over Ji Qiu, so he chose to use silver and gold.

Anyway, this thing is quite valuable to everyone else in the Longqi Three Kingdoms except Ji Qiu.

As for the autumn season, the price of modern industrial silver is about 800 million per ton.

The exchange rate with gold is about 101:1
"These three boxes of silver and gold each contain ten thousand taels. Give one box to Brother Shi, and ask Brother Shi to hand over the other two boxes to the commander-in-chief!" Ji Qiu said.

The smile on Shi A's face became more sincere at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He bowed to Ji Qiu and said, "Since this is Brother Ji's sincere wish for the Commander-in-Chief, I will not refuse.

I will return to Luoyang City and convey Brother Ji's wishes to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"I'll send Brother Shi off!" Ji Qiu said.

Shi A left with three large boxes of silver and gold, and Ji Qiu did not stay in Chenliu City for long.

All the important matters in Chenliu City have basically been dealt with.

The next step is to carry out military training step by step, and then wait for the opportunity to go to Taishan County.

These matters can be left to Xi Zhong, Wei Yan and Gao Shun.

As for Ji Qiu, he needs to use this time to complete the last step of his plan to visit talented people.

That is to recruit Zhao Yun!
So on a sunny morning, Ji Qiu got up from bed, put on his clothes with the help of Ren Hongchang, then walked out of Chenliu City and headed for Zhending County, Changshan County, Jizhou.

The distance from Chenliu to Zhending is about nine hundred miles.

A normal march takes about 30 days.

However, Ji Qiu has the time and space door, so it won’t take that long.

Using the space-time gate as a medium, you can jump between the two worlds, flash forward, and traveling a thousand miles a day is no longer a dream!
So by sunset, he had arrived in Zhending County.

How can I describe the situation in Zhending County? It’s very bad.

Although the situation in various prefectures and counties across the country is not very good now, the situation in Zhending County is obviously even worse.

Because Zhending County is next to the Black Mountain Army.

Jizhou was the place where the Yellow Turbans first rebelled, and it was also the base camp and the most powerful area of ​​the Yellow Turban Army.

Even after the failure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were still many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army here.

These remnants were unable to compete with the imperial court in the plains, so they retreated into the Taihang Mountains and became the Black Mountain Army.

The leader of the Black Mountain Army was originally called Chu Yan, a native of Zhending, Changshan.

He was known for his bravery and agility when he was young. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he gathered a group of young men as bandits and nominally belonged to the Yellow Turban Army.

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he changed his name to Zhang Yan, claiming to be the successor of Zhang Jue. He then recruited a large number of former Yellow Turban troops and established the Black Mountain Army.

Historically, the Montenegrin Army once had over one million people.

Even though most of them are the elderly, the weak, women and children, there are no less than 100,000 soldiers capable of fighting.

It is a force in the north that cannot be ignored!
