When Liu Yi came to Liu Bei's general's mansion, the sky had begun to darken, but the general's mansion was brightly lit, even if Liu Bei was now the weakest of the three princes, but there should still be pomp, many scholars were already waiting in the banquet hall, greeting acquaintances in groups of three or five, seeing Zhao Yun, from time to time someone would come forward to say hello, but Liu Yi didn't know many people here.

"This is Mr. Liu Yi and Liu Boyuan, the Taishou of Changsha." Zhao Yun smiled and said a few words with a young man with white hair between his eyebrows, took him to Liu Yi's side, and introduced: "Bo Yuan, this is Yicheng Ma Liang, Ma Jichang is now in a position under the lord, and he is quite relied on by the lord. ”

Zhao Yun made such a solemn recommendation, it is obvious that this Ma Liang's status under Liu Bei is not low, or his weight in Liu Bei's heart is not light.

"Ma's five constants, the white-eyed is the best, and he has admired his name for a long time." Liu Yi smiled at Ma Liang and bowed: "It's a blessing to be able to see you today!" ”

Ma Liang said with a gentle smile: "Brother Bo Yuan's praise is false, a little thin name is not enough to worry about, Brother Bo Yuan's name is now widely spread in this Jingxiang land. ”

Didn't mention the name of the Heavenly Workshop, today Liu Bei invited all kinds of celebrities to the banquet, and although the Heavenly Workshop and the fishing village are famous, but it is mostly a matter of interests, mentioning it on such occasions, how much will give others the feeling that they can't get on the table, just like saying in public that Liu Bei weaves mats and sells shoes is generally disrespectful, although Liu Bei has never denied it, but understands that people will not mention it on this occasion, at this time, if you discuss with Liu Yi how the Heavenly Workshop or how the fishing village is, it is to find fault.

After a few words of greeting, the two saw Liu Bei come out with him, bowed to everyone, and then said to Liu Yi: "Mr. Bo Yuan, the lord has been waiting for a long time, please Mr. Bo Yuan come in to talk." ”

Liu Yi nodded, and went to the main hall of the mansion with Zhao Yun and Ma Liang.

The general's mansion is not luxurious, the furnishings are extremely simple, but it is spacious, according to the distance between relatives and proximity, a low table is lined up left and right, there are about forty or fifty tables, most of them have already sat down, Liu Bei sat at the top of the place, on the left hand side sat Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other Wenchen, on the right hand side is Guan Yu, Chen Zhi, Liu Feng, Guan Ping military generals, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan Heran is also in the list, seeing Liu Yi, the two hurriedly got up to greet each other.

"Bo Yuan is finally here." Seeing Liu Yi, Liu Bei smiled kindly: "Sit down!" ”

Liu Yi's position was arranged in the middle of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, this time, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a symbol of identity and status, and now Liu Yi is arranged here, although it represents Liu Bei's attitude, but it has also caused dissatisfaction among many people present.

"Thank you, Lord." Liu Yi didn't say much, and saluted Liu Bei, it is better to keep a low profile at this time, maybe he can be confused.

Liu Bei was slightly stunned, if I remember correctly, this is the first time Liu Yi has called him the lord, and he looked at Liu Yi a little strangely, wondering if he was stimulated by something?

"Bo Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I am much more energetic than before." Zhuge Liang saw Liu Yi sitting on the table beside him and smiled.

"Where, thank you Brother Kong Ming for taking care of me!" Liu Yi snorted and bit the word "care" very hard.

Zhuge Liang didn't seem to understand, smiled and waved his hand: "Liang is just a little bit harder, between you and me, why say thank you?" ”

"Hehe~" Liu Yi didn't want to talk to him anymore.

In the hall, with the arrival of Liu Yi and others, after the extremely famous scholars sat down, the people who were invited to the banquet today have basically arrived, and their own maids came in like flowing water, and put the meal on the table for everyone.

There are also dancers coming in to dance, Liu Yi watched with relish, although there is a difference between ancient and modern, but compared with the dance that he was used to seeing in his previous life, the dance of this era is a little less noisy, but there is a little more precipitated charm in it, I didn't feel it at first, but after watching it for a long time, with the bell of Qingyue, people will not be immersed in it, that is a kind of artistic conception of beauty, indescribable, and modern are two different realms.

Of course, although Liu Yi in his previous life was good, he could only be regarded as petty bourgeoisie, and he hadn't been to many really high-end places, this kind of thing, inherited for 2,000 years, has not really been lost, but in the society at that time, there were fewer and fewer people who could appreciate it.

Liu Yi couldn't appreciate it before, but now, looking at it, I have some feelings.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere of the banquet began to become warm, Liu Yi and Zhuge Liang asked some things like Qimen Dunjia, although he himself has been studying recently, but he feels quite obscure, the gossip has not been thoroughly understood until now, the mystery of mathematics, there is no one who knows how to teach, if you want to be self-taught, I am afraid that only the legendary genius can do it, obviously, Liu Yi is not that kind of genius, so he can only ask for help.

The questions of these days came out to ask Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang also answered all the questions, and every time he said a few words, he could make Liu Yi feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"Bo Yuan's views on mathematics are quite unique." After some inquiry, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile, he found that Liu Yi was quite keen on the laws of some numbers, but he didn't know anything about how to use these and how to deduce the formation with numbers.

It was also at this time that Liu Yi knew that mathematics is not mathematics, or mathematics is mathematics, but mathematics is not entirely mathematics, mathematics is a science that explores all things in the universe and the laws of nature through numbers, including formations and the like, which are all part of it.

Of course, Liu Yi's mathematics level in his previous life was like that, and the advanced mathematics in the university was all taken by someone on his behalf, and he did not study it deeply, but he can be sure that there is no such thing as gossip in college mathematics.

"Everyday design tools are very useful and unsystematic, but they make Kong Ming smile." He shook his head with a wry smile, in front of a person like Zhuge Liang, it is very difficult to find a sense of superiority in knowledge.

"Not really, what Bo Yuan said is indeed quite practical." Zhuge Liang shook his head, such a thing as mathematics, most of the time, what Liu Yi said is enough, and if it goes deeper, it will be a more advanced discussion, and there is no universal need.

"If you want to go further, I think there may be a lot to be done after what you said before can be verified." Liu Yi thought about it and said, he felt that the thing of mathematics was much more valuable than poetry and poetry, of course, poetry and poetry were not really useless, it was a spiritual realm, and the material and spiritual pursuit was the ninety percent of life, but unfortunately, in today's popular thought, the spiritual pursuit is higher than the material pursuit, so the study of mathematics is not as sought after as the scriptures.

Zhuge Liang agrees with Liu Yi's point of view, and in today's war-themed era, it is actually more suitable for the development of these things, whether it is the Central Plains or Jiangdong, since the beginning of the division of the princes, there has been some progress and innovation in industry.

"Dare to ask, is this Mr. Liu Yi and Liu Boyuan?" The two of them were discussing some topics that were too practical in mathematics when a scribe suddenly stood up, bowed to Liu Yi, and smiled.

"Exactly!" Liu Yi looked around, only to find that the singing and dancing had stopped, and now many people came in the hall, either to present poems to Liu Bei, or to explain some of their views on the decree.

"In Xia Xiangyang Fan Yu, Mr. Boyuan has long heard that Mr. Boyuan's civil and military strategies are extraordinary, and today I want to ask Mr. What is his opinion on the trend of the world?" That Fan Yu asked with a smile.

"What did you say?" Liu Yi was stunned and asked.

"Fan Yu in Xiaxiangyang, I have heard ...... for a long time" Fan Yu frowned, and opened his mouth to repeat it, but was interrupted by Liu Yi.

"No, the last sentence!"

"Last?" Fan Yu was stunned, and said with some uncertainty: "Dare to ask, but Mr. Liu Yi and Liu Boyuan?" ”

"No, I'm looking for the wrong person." Liu Yi shook his head and said politely.

Guan Yu, who was about to leave with a wine bud, happened to pass by here, and when he heard the wine bud in his hand, he shook it, glanced at Liu Yi a little strangely, and turned around and walked away.

Fan Yu's face sank, and he frowned: "Sir's approach is inevitably degradable. ”

If you don't want to say it, you don't say it, what does that mean?

"Bo Yuan!" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi with a slightly serious expression, this method is a bit insulting.

All right.

Liu Yi looked at Fan Yu and said, "Xiangyang Fan Yu, the word should be Zizhou, right?" ”

"Not bad." Fan Yu took a deep breath and nodded.

"If the general trend is today, the lord and Sun Quan are united, Cao Cao is powerless to look south, and there is already a strong trend, maybe you can see it?" Liu Yi asked.

This is a basic premise, after the Battle of Chibi, although nominally the Sun-Liu Alliance is dominated by Jiangdong, but Liu Bei took Nanjun, and then got the land of the four counties of Jingnan, and his wings are getting fuller, in fact, he is not afraid of Sun Quan, but the two sides must really merge, and the final result is that they are afraid that both sides will lose, so the two families can only unite, and even the weak will resist the strong, if this is not visible, Liu Yi does not want to say much to the other party.

Zhuge Liang's Longzhong has actually made it very clear that Sun Quan has a choice, but Liu Bei, in fact, does not have much choice other than uniting Sun Quan, at least before he gets Yizhou.

Fan Yu nodded, Zhuge Liang's three-point strategy is not a secret in the scholar circle now.

"That is to say, in the short term, it is best for the three families to develop independently, no matter which side goes to war, it is not beneficial to fight with the three, and even more so with the lord! Don't fight with anyone! Liu Yi said: "This is the general trend I see, is Zizhou still satisfied with this?" ”
