readx;? The whole country of Guqiang surrendered, and Boyan kept his promise and did not kill another Guqiang person after the city was broken. After the last king of the pen and the court www.biquge.info handed over all the military and political power to Boyan, he quietly hanged himself in the deep palace in the middle of the night.

When the news spread, there was mourning in the Guqiang Kingdom, and thousands of people followed the king to their deaths. The bloody people in the country tried to rise up and resist, but they were brutally suppressed by Boyan's thunderous means, and the remaining people saw that there was no hope of recovering the country, and gradually settled down.

Boyan made the son of the old king the new king, but demoted the kingdom to a vassal state, and the new king bowed to the Emperor of Great Xia, and became a king of peace and leisure from then on. Guqiang changed to a parliamentary system, and political parties were elected once a year. The country is still autonomous, but the army was dismissed and sent to the northeast of Great Xia to cut wood, since then there is no army in the country, and all public security and safety are handed over to the soldiers of Great Xia.

Since then, to the west of Bactria the four kingdoms of Jingjue, Jimo, Guqiang, and Khotan, all of them have been annexed, and the northwest territory of Bactria has expanded to the west for more than 2,000 miles. When the news came, the whole country cheered, and the national holiday lasted for three days, and the emperor feasted his ministers to celebrate.

After Boyan finished rectifying Guqiang, he also set up a big banquet in the army, invited Zhang Qian to sit on the head, Boyan accompanied the prime minister, Wang Yangming worked hard in this battle and sat on the third chair. The leaders of several border guards who came to help each other sat down in the front row, and Gu Xifeng, Su Mu and others accompanied each other in the back row. Xiong Zhen had recovered from his old injuries at this time, and he also came to join in the fun.

Although Archimedes was reluctant, he was called by Boyan to join him in the feast. During the banquet, everyone praised him for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and using his exquisite scientific knowledge to create the Vulcan cannon and hot air balloons, which helped Xia Bing gnaw the hard bone of Guqiang. Archimedes was silent, but drank heavily, got drunk, and was carried back to the camp by the soldiers to rest.

Wang Yangming didn't drink, after everyone got drunk, he was sober, came out and blew the night breeze for a while, thinking that Archimedes was drunk, and there was no one under him to take care of him, this old man was old, so don't have any accidents.

He walked to Archimedes' tent and shouted, "Sir, Wang Yangming has come to visit. ”

There was silence in the tent, and there was no response. Wang Yangming said in his heart that this old gentleman must have fallen asleep drunk, and he couldn't move. He stepped inside, wanting to see what was going on.

I thought that Archimedes should be drunk, but in a deep sleep, I didn't want to be in the dim light, and the old man was concentrating on something at the table.

Wang Yangming stepped forward, but Archimedes was so engrossed in arithmetic that he didn't notice his arrival. Wang Yangming looked intently and saw that Archimedes was thinking hard about a right-angled triangle, and there were words in his mouth: "What law exists? What law does it have?......?"

Wang Yangming looked at the dense numbers he wrote on the three sides of the right-angled triangle, and blurted out: "Hook three strands, four strings, five?"

The old man's heart was shocked, and he quickly wrote down a few numbers, verified them one by one, and suddenly laughed in the middle of the night: "Sure enough, it's a hook three strands, four strings, and five!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the old man realized that there were people around him, looked up at Wang Yangming, and his eyes showed a strange look: "General Wang actually understands the number of Pythagoreans?"

Wang Yangming thought to himself that this Pythagorean theorem was a truth that even primary school students understood in his previous life, and this Archimedes was the first mathematician in the world, and he hadn't even comprehended this theorem. But seeing Archimedes' excited look, how dare he pretend to be meritorious, and hurriedly said: "This is what I read from an ancient book, not my own idea." ”

Archimedes looked at Wang Yangming suspiciously, and asked, "What book is it? Why has the old man never heard of it?"

"The nine chapters of arithmetic are a collection of books in my country's prison. Wang Yangming thought to himself that what I said was half-true, and I couldn't be a lie. Originally, the Pythagorean theorem was proposed in the nine chapters of arithmetic, and the encyclopedia also included the nine chapters of arithmetic, so it is the least easy to expose.

Archimedes' eyes showed a look of yearning: "The national eunuch can cultivate a strange character like you, and it is not strange to have such a collection of books, I really want to go and see it." ”

Wang Yangming smiled: "What's so difficult about that." When we wipe out the fifteen countries of the Western Regions, I will take you back to Chang'an and see all the 100,000 books in the country's prison. ”

Archimedes slowly lowered his head, was speechless for a while, and finally said slowly: "General Wang, I won't go to Chang'an, I'm leaving." ”

"Where to go?"

"I don't know. Travel the world and go wherever you go. ”

Wang Yangming didn't know why Archimedes suddenly had the idea of leaving, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Mr. is now the first staff member of my Northwest Army, and he will definitely dominate the role of the entire continent in the future, why did he choose to leave at this time?"

Archimedes sighed. In fact, Wang Yangming will understand if he thinks about it carefully, Archimedes was originally an elite elder, who has been in a high position for many years, if he is a person who has lingered in power, he will naturally not become the maverick of the ten elders. What he wants in his life is to exhaust mathematics, and now God has descended Wang Yangming, a figure who is more advanced than his mathematics, and much younger than him, with much greater potential, Archimedes feels that the world's mathematics has its own young talents to inherit, so even the spiritual support of mathematics has been weakened a lot.

During the day, the Vulcan cannon showed its might and helped the Xia people capture the city of Guqiang, although it was indeed as Wang Yangming said, because of the deterrence of the Vulcan cannon and the hot air balloon, it was originally a tragic struggle, and in the end both sides ended the war at a very small price. But the brutal scene caused by the Vulcan cannon still made Archimedes feel uneasy. He has already decided that Wang Yangming is the reincarnation of the devil, how can he be willing to contribute to the devil again?

Archimedes looked depressed, and said slowly: "Boyan is a famous general in the world, and the soldiers of Great Xia are strong in combat, and they can be called looting like fire. You quickly attacked the Essence with lightning speed, and all the ten elders in our country were wiped out and captured by you. I was worried that you would kill all my elites, but at present, it seems that Boyan is not a cruel and easy person to kill, and now the saint is still a saint, and the people have faded their minds to resist you. Although I am not convinced, I feel that this may not be the best outcome. ”

"The mountains and rivers are broken, I shouldn't continue to live, but I just think that there are so many knowledge waiting for me to pursue in this world, so I can't die willingly. But now, there is a great mathematician like General Wang, who is a genius in the world, with me or not, it is the same for arithmetic. ”

Wang Yangming was embarrassed, thinking that his own ability was all based on the convenience of crossing, how could he compare to a master like Archimedes, who relied on his own research to become a world-famous mathematician?

Archimedes didn't notice his strange look, but continued: "If I continue to stay in the Northwest Army, Boyan will inevitably ask me to continue to develop more terrifying weapons, what is the Vulcan cannon, as long as we are given enough time, the weapons that destroy the world can be researched." But that's not what I wanted. ”

"Science knows no borders, but scientists have their own homeland. He looked at Wang Yangming fixedly, and said firmly: "I am determined to travel all over the world and never set foot in the world again." If General Wang insists on stopping me, I will have no choice but to fight to the death. ”

Wang Yangming was silent, he and Archimedes had the same idea on one thing, that is, tired of war. He also hesitated, but after all, he still did not waver in his mind. He wants to grow and become a world-famous general in the war, and at the same time, he has to kill as little as possible and try to end the war as soon as possible.

He thought about it for a long time before finally saying to Archimedes: "I know what Mr. thinks, but I just want to ask Mr., is the distinction between Hu and Han really reasonable?

Archimedes didn't know why Wang Yangming said this, you must know that in this world, the people should be loyal to the country, which is an unbreakable truth.

Wang Yangming said eloquently: "The state is nothing but something that exists at a certain stage of history. Ten thousand years ago, there were no countries in the world, just tribes large and small. One day in the future, there will no longer be a state, but a society of great harmony. Thinking about it this way, people are individual people, independent people, so why do they have to pin the meaning of their existence on the state?"

These words were never imagined by people in this world, and the shock was especially huge. Archimedes is an extremely smart person, Wang Yangming only said this paragraph, he already understood that Wang Yangming's words implied a very profound truth, and he could not refute it.

"Since I was in the army, I have tried my best to kill the enemy, not to serve the country, but to establish personal achievements. I want to be the strongest in the world, so I need the most powerful force, the most profound art of war, and the highest official position. Only war can give me that. ”

"So I longed for war, but I didn't want to kill people, so I asked my husband to work with me to develop the Vulcan cannon, in order to end the war as soon as possible and at the same time, as few people as possible. ”

"The righteousness of the nation, the family and the country are just the means of the emperors and kings to fool the people, everything in the world, to put it bluntly, is only two words, interests. ”

"Mr. is a peerless scholar in the world, and his cultivation of mathematics is unprecedented, if he is incognito for the sake of his family and country, and what he has learned can no longer be used by the world, don't you think it's a pity?"

He finished this long sentence and waited for Archimedes' response. Archimedes was silent, just quietly thinking about Wang Yangming's words.

Wang Yangming saw that Archimedes did not answer, and asked again: "The war will end one day, and then our research on weapons can be applied to the lives of the people, and various tools will benefit the people immensely.
