Chapter 10: The Pony Competition
"Tomorrow is the day of the competition! Do you want to win? Fang Mu asked loudly about Wang Zhao and the other hundred elite soldiers.
"Yes!" An imposing answer.
"That's good! Tomorrow you will not only win for me, but also for yourself, proving that you are stronger than Li You's elite soldiers! Fang Mu began to fight chicken blood.
Fang Mu looked at the reactions of the soldiers, he was very satisfied, and then his expression was correct: "The soldiers listen to the order and remove the sandbags on their legs!" ”
"Command!" A hundred elite soldiers quickly unloaded the sandbags.
"Why is it so light!"
"I feel that my whole body is full of strength, and my body is as light as a swallow!"
……
After the soldiers removed the sandbags, there was a lot of discussion.
Fang Mu: "Yes, the effect of my training of you this month has been achieved, which is to improve your agility and strength!" Wang Zhao! ”
Wang Zhao: "The last general!" ”
Fang Mu: "Do you know how to win against Li Youjing's soldiers?" ”
Wang Zhao: "Win with speed and strength!" ”
Fang Mu nodded: "Well, it's not comprehensive enough, you have to win this battle with the minimum casualties, use speed and physical strength to consume them, and then quickly fight back and use your strength to take them down in one fell swoop!" ”
"The last general will obey orders!"
Fang Mu explained the tactics to Wang Zhao, and he believed that Wang Zhao could handle all this.
……
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
"Emperor Xie!"
After a set of rituals that must be performed before the early dynasty, Qin Shi Huang looked at Fang Mu and Li You: "Fang Aiqing, Li Aiqing, today is the election of the horse competition, the two of you think you are ready!" ”
"The minister is ready!"
Fang Mu and Li You spoke at the same time, and the two of them also glanced at each other, full of taste!
Qin Shi Huang: "Okay, then let's go to the martial arts arena!" ”
……
Everyone followed Qin Shi Huang to the martial arts arena, Princess Liyang and Prince Fusu were already waiting here, Fang Mu's hundred elite soldiers led by Wang Zhao were already waiting here, and Li You's was the same.
"Fusu, let's start!" Qin Shi Huang sat down and said lightly.
Fusu: "No! The horse competition, now officially starts, the first competition, text! ”
Li You had already stepped forward and stood opposite Fusu, and Fang Mu also encouraged Princess Liyang.
Isn't this angry Li You father and son, this hasn't won yet, the two are openly so close, and Qin Shi Huang didn't see it.
Waiting for Fang Mu and Li You to stand side by side, Fu Su smiled: "Let's have a topic to practice first, not as a competition!" ”
"Please listen to the question, A and B have a total of 260 elite soldiers, of which the number of elite soldiers of A is three times that of B, how many elite soldiers does A have, and how many elite soldiers does B have?"
It's not a math problem for binary equations in elementary school, it's too easy. Fang Mu said: "A has 195 elite soldiers, and B has 65 elite soldiers!" ”
"Exactly!" The ministers used Fang Mu's answers to calculate for a while, and they were all right.
"Fang Mu, I didn't tell you the answer in advance! You're too fast, aren't you? Fusu exclaimed.
Am I fast? You're fast! Fang Mu said: "This is not the content of the competition!" ”
Fusu: "Well, the drill is over, and then the official competition will begin!" Listen up! ”
Suppose that Meng Tian's army fought against the Xiongnu in the north, and there was an urgent report at the border pass, so he sent four soldiers to rush overnight, saying that he would bring Heianjing to General Meng.
When they came to a drawbridge, they found that one of the two piles of the drawbridge had been broken, so the load was limited, and they could pass at most two people at a time, and they only had one lantern, which meant that for every two people who passed, one of them had to come back with the lantern and take the other person over.
Therefore, the speed at which they walk, one person needs one stick of incense to cross the bridge, one needs two sticks, and another five and eight sticks. Then I would like to ask what kind of answer can make these four people pass as quickly as possible.
This is not the exam question of the Liao army general in the Song Dynasty! Fang Mu knows the answer perfectly! But he didn't rush to answer.
Everyone was thinking, and Li You said his answer at this time.
Li You: It's very simple, the one with one stick of incense, first cross the bridge with two sticks of incense, that is the time of two sticks of incense. Then, he went back with the lantern, it was the time of one stick of incense, and then he went to pick up the one with five sticks of incense, and then he went back, and then he took the one with eight sticks of incense, which was a total of 2 1 5 1 8, and the time of seventeen sticks of incense.
"Fang Mu, what about you?" Fusu asked.
"Wait! The emperor, the prince, and the old minister want to offer a better answer to my son Li You! Li Si suddenly stood up and asked Qin Shi Huang and Fusu for help.
"Prime Minister, this is a bit out of the rules!" Fusu Road.
Li Si ignored it, and still bent over, begging Qin Shi Huang!
"I agree!" Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Si, thought for a while, and finally agreed.
Fusu: "Father ......"
"Alright, I've agreed!" Qin Shi Huang impatiently interrupted Fusu.
Fang Mu looked at this scene and figured it out! This Li Si is really an old fox, he felt sorry for his Li family after eating Qin Shi Huang, and he would not refuse.
Originally, Qin Shi Huang promised to marry the princess to Li You, how could he joke! Now that Fang Mu appeared out of thin air, Qin Shi Huang had already broken his promise by default, but Li Si and his son were smart enough to give Qin Shi Huang and the princess a step down, and also give themselves a step down!
Qin Shi Huang is such a person, how could he not understand this, so it is impossible to refuse Li Si's request again this time.
Fusu could only stop there: "Prime Minister, please speak!" ”
Li Si: First the first and second burns crossed the bridge, then the first burn came back, and then the lantern was handed over to the fifth and eighth burns, and finally the second burn was taken back, and the bridge was crossed with one stick, so that the sum was 2 1 8 2 2, a total of 15 sticks of incense.
"Okay! Sure enough, the Prime Minister's answer took less time! The ministers seconded the motion.
Fusu was helpless: "The Prime Minister is really smart, and he said it well." Fang Mu, do you have anything to say, if not, you will lose the first game! ”
Princess Liyang's brows furrowed even deeper, Qin Shi Huang's face was expressionless, he didn't know what to think again, all the ministers were very quiet, and felt that Fang Mu would definitely lose this competition.
Fang Mu: "Wait! If you want to cross the bridge faster, there is another way. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar! Princess Liyang stretched her brows, believing in Fang Mu very much, and Qin Shi Huang looked at Fang Mu with interest.
Fusu: "Then tell me about it!" ”
Fang Mu: "The reason why the suspension bridge can't be crossed is because one of the two piles on this side is broken. In fact, the easiest way is to cut off another pile. ”
Li You: "Then how do you cross the bridge?" ”
Fang Mu: "Before cutting it, four people grabbed the bridge rope, the bridge was broken, and it was hung on the opposite cliff, and the four of them climbed up again, and it only took eight sticks of incense." ”
It's quiet! Then Qin Shi Huang was the first to laugh: "Hahaha...... Interesting! ”
Li Si's face was calm, Fang Mu's answer was indeed unexpected.
"Imperial Doctor Fang's way of thinking is different, I admire it, I lost this competition!" Li You is very frank and can afford to lose!
This Li You is consistent with what is written in history, he is sincere and frank, and unlike the smoothness of Li Si, Fang Muzhen wants to investigate whether Li You is Li Si's own son.
Fusu: "I announce, in the first competition, Fang Mu won!" ”
Fang Mu and Princess Liyang looked at each other and smiled......
