When the topic led to the grievances between the two brothers Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and Cao Cao, Guan Lin couldn't help but reverie.

This is a story of "very bloody" and "loving and killing each other".

Speaking of which, Zhang Miao was Cao Cao's classmate when he was a student.

When he was in Taixue, the only people who had the best relationship with Cao Cao were Zhang Miao and Hu Muban.

The relationship between the three is like half-brothers.

In the second year of the first peace, Cao Cao was able to successfully enter Yanzhou and become the pastor of Yanzhou, opening the sail of Wei Wu's hegemony, and Zhang Miao, who was Chen Liutaishou at the time, also made great contributions.

Even when Cao Cao crusaded against Tao Qian, he specially instructed his wife, Mrs. Ding, "If I die in battle, you will go to my best friend Zhang Miao!" ”

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is a spot.

But even so, Zhang Miao still betrayed him, and together with Lu Bu, occupied Yanzhou, if it weren't for the outstanding performance of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, this betrayal would have been lost directly without Cao Cao.

As for why Zhang Miao betrayed Cao Cao and took refuge in Lu Bu.

There are many opinions.

There are mainly two theories, one of which is that Cao Cao killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, which aroused the hatred of the Yanzhou clan headed by the eight chefs "Zhang Miao".

Second, when the princes of the Eighteenth Route were discussing Dong, Zhang Miao openly accused Yuan Shao, and afterwards, Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao.

Considering that at that time, Cao Cao was still Yuan Shao's little brother, Zhang Miao was worried that he would be killed by Cao Cao, so it was very likely that he would join forces with Lu Bu in order to protect himself.

Or perhaps, it's a combination of both.

Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that because of Zhang Miao's betrayal, Cao Cao just slaughtered Xuzhou with the front foot, and slaughtered Yongqiu with the back foot, and slaughtered Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers.

At this moment, Zhang Fang's back molars "gurgle" loudly, and he was telling in detail how he "escaped from the tiger's mouth" during the slaughter of the city, how he fled to Xiangyang to avoid trouble, and how he fled to Nanjun and became a beggar.

Although he has been hungry and sleeping in the open for many years, the hatred in his heart has never dissipated.

"I, Zhang Fang, joined the Beggar Gang because I had no choice but to survive, but I heard Elder Lu say that the purpose of my Beggar Gang is to focus on righteousness, to help the weak in addition to the strong, to keep promises, and to go north..."

When mentioning "single-mindedly going north", Zhang Fang's tone was inexplicably much heavier, "The purpose of the old man of the Seven Princes to set up the beggar gang is to exterminate the Cao thief, hearing this, I... My long-lost hatred has resurfaced, and I'm with that thief... Not the same day, different sun and moon! ”

Call...

Hearing this, Guan Lin exhaled softly.

He doesn't know how many people Cao Cao has killed in his life, and how many people hate him, I'm afraid there are more soldiers and horses than him.

In addition, over the years, Cao's army has crisscrossed the Central Plains and the north, and has always been an "invader" posture, the so-called "those who surround and surrender will not be forgiven", it is for this reason that there are naturally many people who hate him.

Guan Lin suppressed his voice, and the low, old voice rose again: "I know! ”

Hearing this, Lu Youjiao understood and beckoned the "two dogs" to lead the three out.

Who would have thought that just as he took a step out, the three of them turned around in unison, "snapped", and... Kneeling again.

"Ask the Seventh Duke to give us a chance, let's... Let's serve the Seven Princes, too... You can also take revenge! ”

"Ask the Seventh Duke to lead me to avenge the blood and the sea of blood..."

The voices of Shi Jing and You Yong came out first...

Zhang Fang just knelt on the ground and didn't say a word.

Lu Youjiao reminded: "Qigong, his old man has his own opinions, you step back first, let his old man think about it." ”

Lu You's words just fell.

I don't know if it's sympathy for these poor people, or for some other reason, Guan Lin opened his mouth.

"Wait!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone paused, quickly turned around, and looked at the huge figure standing under the oil lamp.

Guan Lin's words continued to spread.

"Just now, you also mentioned that among the purposes of my beggar gang, there is 'one heart to the north'!" Although the old man has no enmity with the thief, the old man just can't get used to him slaughtering the city, and he can't get used to him pretending to be a 'saint' and sighing the suffering of the common people, while lifting the butcher's knife and slaughtering thousands of innocent Li Shu! ”

Ahem...

Speaking of this, Guan Lin coughed again to adjust the tone of his voice.

The deep, old voice continued.

"It's just that you have also seen that the Cao thief is powerful, even Uncle Liu Huang is not his opponent, and my beggar gang is newly established, there are only a thousand people, how to resist the million male soldiers of the Cao thief? Therefore, the old man has a plan! It is necessary to elect some people, nominally merchants, to earn money and food for the growth of the beggar gang, secretly..."

Speaking of this, it seemed that because the next words were all secrets of secrets, Guan Lin lowered his voice and ordered: "Wait forward!" ”

Not...

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other.

Lu Youjiao hurriedly reminded, "Why don't you go over quickly, the 'Seventh Prince' and his old man want to reuse you?" ”

The three of them stepped forward quickly, they didn't dare to get too close, they stood three steps away from Guan Lin, and across the wine jar, they still couldn't see the appearance of "Hong Qigong".

But... Hong Qigong's voice suddenly lowered.

"I want you..."

He said the whole plan...

And these plans came to the ears of Shi Jing, You Yong, and Zhang Fang, and they only felt shocked.

Even, after Guan Lin's plan was completely blurted out, Na Shi Jing exclaimed.

- "The Seventh Duke's move is to kill the 'Cao Ren' stationed in Xiangfan? ”

blurted out these words, Shi Jing felt that he shouldn't be so abrupt, and quickly covered his mouth.

Guan Lin didn't mind, just asked.

"Breaking Cao is not an overnight effort, and killing Cao Ren is not something that can be completed overnight, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and you need to follow the plan I set, step by step."

"It's... Yes..."

"Dare not take the order!"

"Don't worry!"

The three of them hurriedly replied...

Guan Lin seemed to think of something again, "The three of you have special identities, don't use your real name when you go out, your name is Shi Jing, so that from tomorrow onwards, you will call yourself 'Shi Huolong' to the outside world; ”

Guan Lin thought about it for a while, he really couldn't think of a familiar name with the surname "Zhang" in the beggar gang.

simply waved his hand, "You can call Zhang Wuji!" Compared with the two of them in Jiangling, you have a heavier task to Xiangyang and Fancheng! ”

I blurted out this...

The three of them hurriedly bowed their hands, "Thank you for the name!" ”

At the same time, Lu Youjiao had already taken the three clean clothes and gave them to the three of them, reminding: "There are three pockets on this clothes, and from today on, you are the three bags of disciples of my beggar gang!" Qigong and his old man are looking at it, do it well! ”

Clothes, three pockets, seven males...

It's full of ritual...

It's like for Shi Jing, You Yong, Zhang Fang... Ah no, to be precise, it is to give the three new names of "Shi Huolong", "You Tanzhi" and "Zhang Wuji" a new weight and expectations.

After getting dressed, the three of them touched the three pockets on their bodies, looked at each other, and arched their hands in the direction of Guan Lin.

- "Go to the soup for the Seventh Prince, don't give up!" ”

…

…

As the former home of giants, Mi Jia's eyeliner is all over the Yangtze River.

- Zhang Liaowei shook Yaojin, Sun Zhongmou hugged his head and ran away!

Mi Fang is the one who got this news accurately.

At this moment, the oil lamp had burned out, and the gray morning light was slightly penetrating

In the Mijia gambling house, Mi Fang and Mi Guang, and a young son, after a night of fighting, their spirits are a little sluggish...

Among them, the young man could still sit upright and concentrate.

Mi Guang is old and can't stand it anymore, so he covers his face with an abacus and pretends to sleep.

The sound of the abacus is still "crackling".

Of course, the abacus of this era is still called "abacus", and the general idea is the same as the abacus, which was invented by Xu Yue, a native of Donglai in the late Han Dynasty.

Can... At this moment, the abacus made a "crackling" sound, like the sound of "imp hitting the door", which made Mi Fang's tense nerves always hang high.

Although he was still trying to calculate seriously with his forehead propped up, he couldn't help but hide his mouth and yawn quietly.

The young man is Mi Fang's son, named Mi Yang, who likes to read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and is extremely sensitive and enthusiastic about mathematical problems.

This time, he dialed the abacus and calculated, this time... The number of final losses in the Hefei battle market.

In fact, those who can open gambling houses are mathematicians.

Using the "decay" in Chapter 3, "Profit and Deficit" in Chapter 7, and "Equation" in Chapter 8 in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", it is possible to accurately calculate the odds of "making a profit without losing money" in the gambling game.

For example, at the opening of this time, betting on Dongwu to lose is not eleven times the odds at the beginning, but there are more people who buy Dongwu to win, and the odds on the other side will naturally increase further.

And betting on Dongwu to win, the odds are getting lower and lower.

What Mi Yang needs to calculate is that even if most people bet on Dongwu to win, after the results come out, they can still afford to pay and have a surplus.

That's great mathematics.

It seems to be a gamble, but you may make a profit, but the dealer will never lose.

All this is just the "odds" in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" can be solved, and it is precisely Mi Fang's son Mi Yang who is quite accomplished in this regard.

It's just that...

Because in ancient times, it was only people who calculated the odds, not machines, and even a mathematical genius like Mi Yang could not update the odds in real time.

As a result, the odds of the market in the casino often change once an hour.

It is precisely because of this that Guan Lin's heavy bet happened in a short period of time, and it was the identity of the official family at the level of "thief Cao Pengfu", and the odds were too late to adjust.

In addition, everyone regards Guan Lin as a "fat sheep to be slaughtered", and judges the outcome of the Hefei battle as a sure thing, so they ignore this "odds" adjustment.

To put it simply, before Guan Lin placed a heavy bet, the Mi family was proficient and calculated because of Miyang's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and this gamble was a sure bet.

But after Guan Lin placed a heavy bet, the Mijia gambling house became a pure gamble, which has nothing to do with "mathematics" and "odds", but only with the outcome of the battle of Hefei.

Another hour passed, and Mi Fang and Mi Guang almost fell asleep.

It's Mi Yang, he finally figured it out, he stood up, "It's calculated... Worked it out! ”

His shout made Mi Fang and Mi Guang hurriedly raise their heads.

Mi Yang pointed to the number on the bamboo slip, "If there is no 9,000 Hu grain that Guan Sigongzi bets, this gambling can earn 30,000 Hu, but... Counting the nine thousand Hu of Guan Sigongzi, this time... To lose... Lose 67,000 grains! ”

This...

Mi Yang's words surprised Mi Fang.

He couldn't help but say, "So much? ”

It stands to reason that most people generally make the wrong bet, and they should make a lot of money, and in the words of his son, the odds are easy to calculate and easy to do.

For example, in the battle when Gan Ning's hundred horsemen robbed Cao Ying, the Mijia gambling house earned more than 20,000 grains.

Of course, if most people get it right, it doesn't matter, and after the final payment is completed, they will always be rich for a few thousand yuan, and it is not in vain.

But this time...

There is nothing to say about the loss, but the one-time loss of 67,000 grains is enough for the food expenses of their Mi family for several years.

- "Sun Quan is blue-eyed, your uncle's..."

Mi Fang couldn't help but shout angrily in her heart.

Mi Yang said truthfully: "It's really so much, this is still in the case of the child deliberately lowering the odds, otherwise... Only, only more... This time, this time..."

Mi Yang's tone was a little stumbling, not only Mi Fang, but he was also taught a good lesson this time.

It's not a math lesson, it's a lesson in the human heart.

This made him, in addition to discovering the huge loopholes in the odds of this gambling house, but also a new understanding of the word "hidden danger".

He's still too young, he only understands math, but he doesn't understand hidden dangers...

After all, it's - not meticulous enough!

The fourth son, Guan Lin, gave him a vivid lesson on "unpredictable people's hearts".

This shocked him and benefited him a lot.

"Bang...", I saw Mi Fang slam his fist on the table, and he couldn't help but scream. Damn it! ”

"Father shouldn't blame the fourth son." Mi Yang persuaded: "This time is the loophole of our gambling house, the loophole of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and the loophole of mathematics, to blame... You can only blame the children! ”

"Blame me..."Mi Guang frowned, "Blame me for underestimating these four sons, and blame me for being too... Too greedy, alas ... Alas..."

Alas, a sound of dejection rang out in this small room.

And this frustrated sound seemed to be contagious, and Mi Fang also sighed for a long time.

With a sigh, he muttered, "For the father... Where does the father say that the fourth son is hateful, and the hateful person who is said to be the father..."

"It's that Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, I... I have never made a loss-making transaction in my life, but... But I planted a big heel on him, and I... I don't share the sky with this Sun Zhongmou! ”

This...

Mi Yang blinked his eyes, in fact, he wanted to say that this matter has nothing to do with Sun Zhongmou.

The source is still the problem of their casino's own odds.

It's also a matter of their greed.

Can...

Looking at his father's appearance, Mi Yang felt that his father also needed a place to vent.

Simply, Mi Yang closed his mouth, and let this Sun Zhongmou become the object of his father's catharsis, as long as his father could dissipate his anger!

Having said that, this Sun Zhongmou should also be...

Mi Yang is a student of mathematics, 100,000 and hundred, put it in any chapter of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "decay", "Shaoguang", "business merit", this number, should be an overwhelming victory.

- The probability of losing, it's too low!

It's incredible!

Rumble...

At this moment, Mi Fang suddenly got up, swept away the mental malaise of the "night" battle, and threw down a roll of bamboo slips.

In a fit of rage, he went out.

"Where's my father?" Mi Yang hurriedly asked.

"This time, although my Mi family has admitted it, but..."Mi Fang's footsteps paused, and his words were cold, "My Mi family can't be slaughtered by others, isn't his Sun Zhongmou defeated?" ”

"Okay, for my father, I'll go and ask Guan Gong for my life, and for my father to be a pioneer, take our family's trilogy, level the stone town of Nawu County, and capture the Jiangdong blue-eyed child alive! to..."

- "With the hatred of my heart in blood!" ”
