Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33: Calculation

Neither Wang Yun nor Yuan Wei was willing to take the lead in talking about Dong Zhuo's affairs. The two of them were like playing tricks, testing each other for many rounds. Fang felt that they were evenly matched, so they continued to talk in circles until tomorrow. There was no serious business, so the two of them fell silent in unison.

The atmosphere in the room became dull for a while.

After a long time, Yuan Wei broke the silence and said: "The current situation is overwhelming, which is definitely not a good thing." - Although they didn't say who, both of them knew who they were talking about.

Wang Yun nodded. Both of them knew the current situation. The problem was how to deal with it. "Xiliang is bitterly cold, but wealth and wealth can lead to chaos." -Dong Zhuo Those people came from the countryside in Xiliang and had never seen anything. In a big scene, can wealth and honor be used to disrupt and dampen his ambition?

"In this case, I will give you twenty singers and five thousand taels of gold." Yuan Wei agreed. This is also the consistent practice of his noble clan, but besides dealing with Dong Zhuo himself, is there any other way -

"Under Dong Zhuo - Li Ru..." Yuan Wei took stock of the people under Dong Zhuo. When it came to Li Ru, the two looked at each other and shook their heads. Calculating Li Ru was not as easy as calculating other people. Not to mention it was very difficult. , maybe they will be tricked.

"Hua Xiong..." Yuan Wei broke off his second finger and shook his head, "This man is Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, and he is loyal..."

"Li Jue and Guo Bin are still outside the customs..." Wang Yun also pointed out two people, and then lightly tapped the table, "The only newcomer is Lu Bu..."

Speaking of Lu Bu, Yuan Wei was stunned, his unkindness was palpable, "You might as well seduce someone who betrays his master."

Wang Yun frowned and said: "However, Dong Zhuo treated him very well. He was already extremely rich and powerful, including the Captain of Cavalry, the General of Zhonglang, and the Marquis of Duting. What can be done?" - Lu Buguan is now so old. What else can you give? We can't let him be some kind of general who can't be awarded a title unless he has merit in battle? Even if we were willing, the court would not allow it.

Suddenly Wang Yun's eyes flickered and he looked at Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei happened to be looking at him too, and they both said in unison: "Beauty!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite sympathetic to each other.

Wang Yun stroked his long beard and said with some pain: "There is a singer in my house. She is extremely beautiful, smart and smart, and she is only twenty-eight years old..." - I finally raised the succulent little one just now. Cabbage...

Yuan Wei smiled understandingly and said, "If it becomes a big event, wouldn't it be a pity to have a girl?"

Wang Yun cursed in his heart, he was not the one born by you Yuan Wei, so of course he wouldn't feel any pity - I will do the bribery, and I will do the seducing Lu Bu. You Yuan Wei can't do everything for me. , you have nothing to do, you are just hiding behind and taking advantage of yourself, aren't you?

"Nearly half of the Yuan family's soldiers are in Xiyuan. If the matter is urgent, can they be used?" Wang Yun was not polite at all. I have done so many things, and you, Yuan Wei, also have to play a role. These are all my needs. It’s a matter of time. If the situation changes and troops are needed, can your Yuan family step in?

Moreover, Wang Yun directly pointed out the Xiyuan recruits. Your Yuan family has put a lot of effort into wooing them, so don't be careless with me. I, Wang Yun, know exactly how many Xiyuan recruits your Yuan Wei has mastered.

Yuan Wei glanced at Wang Yun, OK, you know how much foundation I have. In this case, he did not shirk, and lowered his voice and said: "If things change, you can leave..." Yuan Wei did not continue speaking, but pointed his finger. I pointed slightly to the west - if something really happened, it would be best to go through the west gate, there is nothing I can do about the other gates.

Wang Yun nodded silently. He didn't want to end up in the last step, but knowing that there was a way out would make him feel more at ease.

The two of them have basically set a direction at this point, and it depends on the subsequent specific operations. However, neither of them mentioned the matter of Young Emperor Liu Bian, as if they had selectively forgotten about this person.

The scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor rule the world together!

What is co-governance? According to future generations, to put it bluntly, they are colleagues, and the emperor is at most a boss. If the boss is in trouble, will any of his subordinates risk their lives to protect him?

Of course I don't deny that there will be a few, but the vast majority of people will still watch quietly and be quiet handsome men.

*******************

At this time in Cai Mansion, Fei Qian saw a beautiful man who could be called an older version, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, white beard and hair, rosy complexion, and a dignified appearance.

Fei sneaked into Cai Yong's mansion and met Liu Yuanzhuo. He realized that Liu Yuanzhuo was actually a master of arithmetic and astronomers. When he visited Cai Yong, he learned that someone had created a new counting symbol, and he was very interested. Cai Yong is asked to invite Fei Qian to meet him.

In the Han Dynasty, arithmetic was closely related to astronomy and geography, and those who studied such things belonged to a very small group of people. Ordinary people would probably have trypophobia when they saw dense astronomical maps or something like that.

Liu Yuanzhuo, named Hong, was a well-known figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If Cai Yong is a great figure in the literary world, then Liu Hong and Liu Yuanzhuo are the great figures in the mathematics world.

Fei Qian only searched for this character in his memory after being introduced by Cai Yong. But it's no wonder that most people remember the characters in the Three Kingdoms either by intelligence or by force. People like Liu Hong and Liu Yuanzhuo are not in the database of the Three Kingdoms game at all. It was a surprise that Fei Qian couldn't remember the character for a while.

At that time, when Cai Yong was still serving as Taishi, he recommended Liu Hong to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Later, Liu Hong came to the capital and specialized in calendar research. During this period, in addition to participating in the "Test of the Sun and the Moon" in accordance with the emperor's orders, Liu Hong reviewed and taught the research results submitted by others, and also compiled the results of years of research into "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes". However, after the "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic Notes" was written, Liu Hong was transferred out of Luoyang and took up a local post. He did not see Cai Yong again for more than ten years, and he was only transferred back at the beginning of the year.

Therefore, Liu Hong has a very good relationship with Cai Yong. After returning to the capital, he often went to Cai Mansion to discuss knowledge with Cai Yong. It is precisely because of this that during the chat with Cai Yong today, he learned that there was a young man who was not only doing arithmetic I have made some achievements in it, and also created a new counting method based on the characters of Shendu and Dashi. I am very curious and must see it.

Cai Yong was also a humble gentleman. He had no intention of stealing Fei Qian's letters and numbers as his own. Instead, he honestly called Fei Qian and asked Fei Qian and Liu Hong to explain in detail.

After Liu Hong listened to Fei Qian's explanation, it was like opening a new door. Originally, ancient numerical values ​​were limited to words, difficult to express, and seemed very obscure. Now if all are replaced by Fei Qian's numbers and symbols, it will indeed be It will be more concise and easier to understand. For Liu Hong, who has devoted his life to mathematical research, this is no less than finding a new sharp tool.

Liu Hong looked at Fei Qian with great interest, thinking that I couldn't afford to miss such a good idea, so he blurted out: "Would you like to worship me as your teacher?"
