Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 85

When the topic brought up the grievances between the two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao and Cao Cao, Guan Lin couldn't help thinking about it.

This is a story of "very bloody" and "love each other and kill each other".

Speaking of which, Zhang Miao was a classmate of Cao Cao's imperial school.

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

The relationship between the three of them is like half-brothers.

In the second year of Chuping, Zhang Miao, who was the prefect of Chenliu at that time, also contributed to Cao Cao's success in entering Yanzhou and becoming the shepherd of Yanzhou.

Even when Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, he specifically asked 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 obvious.

But even so, Zhang Miao still betrayed him, and together with Lu Bu, occupied Yanzhou. If it wasn't for Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others' outstanding performance, Cao Cao would have disappeared if he failed to keep his betrayal this time.

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

There are different opinions on this.

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

The second is that when the eighteen princes were begging Dong, Zhang Miao publicly accused Yuan Shao. Afterwards, Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao.

Considering that Cao Cao was still Yuan Shao's younger brother at that time, Zhang Miao was worried that he would be killed by Cao Cao, so it is very possible that Zhang Miao joined forces with Lu Bu to protect himself.

Or maybe it's a combination of these two statements.

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

At this moment, Zhang Fang's back molars "clacked" and he was describing in detail how he "escaped from the tiger's mouth" during the massacre of the city, how he fled to Xiangyang to avoid disaster, and how he escaped to Nanjun and became a murderer. beggar.

Although these years, he was hungry and slept in the open, but the hatred in his heart never dissipated.

"I, Zhang Fang, joined the Beggars' Clan because I had no choice but to survive, but I heard from Elder Lu that the purpose of my Beggars' Clan is to put loyalty first, eliminate the strong and help the weak, keep promises and keep our promises, and go north with one heart..."

When mentioning "one heart to the north", Zhang Fang's tone inexplicably became a lot more serious, "The purpose of Qigong's establishment of the Beggar Gang is to exterminate the Cao thief. Hearing this, I... my long-lost hatred was aroused again, That Cao thief and I are not in the same breath, we are not the same as the sun and the moon!"

call…

Hearing this, Guan Lin exhaled lightly.

Cao Cao didn't know how many people he killed in his life, and there were also many people who hated him, probably more than his soldiers.

In addition, Cao's army has always been an "invader" in all these years across the Central Plains and the northern border. The so-called "surrounded and then surrendered will not be forgiven", because of this, there are naturally many people who hate him.

Guan Lin suppressed his voice, and the deep, old voice rose again: "I see!"

Hearing this, Lu Youjiao understood, and called "Ergou" to lead the three out,
Who would have thought that just after taking a step outside, the three of them turned around in unison, and with a "click", they...kneeled again.

"I beg Qigong to give us a chance, let us... let us work for Qigong, and... also get revenge!"

"I beg Qigong to lead me to avenge that sea of ​​blood..."

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

Zhang Fang just knelt down without saying a word.

Lu Youjiao reminded: "Qi Gong has his own ideas, you step back first and let him think about it."

Lu Youjiao's words just fell.

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

"and many more!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped and turned around quickly, looking at the huge figure standing under the oil lamp with longing eyes.

Guan Lin's words continued to spread.

"Just now, you also mentioned that in the purpose of my beggar gang, there is 'one heart to the north'! Although the 'old man' has no mortal feud with that Cao thief, the old man just can't stand him massacring cities I can't stand him pretending to be a 'saint' and lamenting the sufferings of the common people, while lifting the butcher's knife to slaughter thousands of innocent people!"

Ahem...

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

The deep, old voice continued.

"But, as you have seen, Bandit Cao is so powerful that even Uncle Liu is no match for him, and our new Beggar Gang has only a thousand people. How can we compete with Bandit Cao's million soldiers? Therefore, this old man has a plan. We need to select some people, nominally merchants, to earn money and food for the growth of the beggar gang, secretly..."

Speaking of this, it seems that because the next words are all secrets among secrets, Guan Lin lowered his voice and ordered: "You wait to come forward!"

Well…

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lu Youjiao quickly reminded, "Hurry up, 'Qigong' wants to use you again?"

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

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

"I want you..."

He gave the whole plan...

When these plans were heard by Shi Jing, You Yong, and Zhang Fang, they only felt shocking.

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

——"Qi Gong's move is to kill 'Cao Ren' who is stationed in Xiangfan?"

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

Guan Lin didn't mind either, he just asked.

"Breaking Cao is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and killing Cao Ren is not something that can be accomplished overnight. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You need to follow my plan and proceed step by step."

"Yes Yes…"

"Dare not to take orders!"

"Don't worry Qigong!"

The three quickly responded...

Guan Lin seemed to have thought of something again, "The three of you have special identities, so don't use your real names when you go out. Your name is Shi Jing. In this way, from tomorrow onwards, you will call yourself 'Shi Huolong'; Yong, we have to change it, just call it 'You Tanzhi', and you, Zhang Fang!"

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

Simply waved his hand, "You should be called Zhang Wuji! Compared with the two of them in Jiangling, your mission in Xiangyang and Fancheng is more important!"

This is out of the way...

The three quickly cupped their hands, "Thank you Qigong for giving me your name!"

At the same time, Lu Youjiao had brought three clean clothes and gave them to the three respectively, reminding them: "There are three pockets on this clothes, from today onwards, you are the disciples of my beggar gang with three pockets! Seven The old man is watching, work hard!"

Clothes, three pockets, seven gongs...

This is full of ritual feeling...

Like giving Shi Jing, You Yong, Zhang Fang...ah no, to be precise, it is giving new importance and expectations to the three brand new names of "Shi Huolong", "You Tanzhi" and "Zhang Wuji".

After getting dressed, the three touched the three pockets on their bodies, looked at each other, and cupped their hands in Guan Lin's direction.

——"I will go through fire and water for Qi Gong, and I will do my best!"

...

...

As the former home of wealthy businessmen, the Mi family's eyes are all over the Yangtze River.

——Zhang Liao shocked Xiaoyaojin, Sun Zhongmou ran away with his head in his arms!
Mi Fang was the only one who got this news accurately.

At this moment, the oil lamp has been burnt out, and the gray morning light penetrates slightly

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

Among them, the young son can still sit upright and concentrate.

Mi Guang was getting old and couldn't bear it anymore, so he covered his face with his abacus and fell asleep.

The sound of the abacus is still "cracking".

Of course, the abacus in this era is also called "suanchou". The general idea is the same as the abacus. It was invented by Xu Yue from Donglai in the late Han Dynasty.

But... At this moment, the abacus flipped and made a "cracking" sound, just like the sound of "a little devil hitting the door", which made Mi Fang's tense nerves hang high all the time.

Although he was propping his forehead and still trying to calculate seriously, he couldn't help covering his mouth and yawned 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 math problems.

This time, he moved his abacus, and what he calculated was the final loss of the gambling game in this... Hefei battle.

In fact, only mathematicians can open gambling houses.

Using the "decay" of Chapter 3, the "sufficiency of profit" of Chapter 7, and the "equation" of Chapter 8 in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", it is possible to accurately calculate the odds of "stable profit but no loss" in the gambling game.

For example, at the opening of the market this time, betting on Soochow's defeat was not at eleven times the odds at the beginning, but as more people bought Soochow's victory, the odds on the other side would naturally increase further.

And betting on Soochow wins, the odds are getting lower and lower.

What Mi Yang needs to figure out is that even if most people bet on Soochow to win, after the result comes out, they can still afford to pay and have a surplus.

- This is great mathematics.

It seems to be gambling, but you may make money, but the dealer will never lose money.

All these can be solved by "odds" in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and Mi Fang's son Mi Yang is quite accomplished in this area.

only…

Because in ancient times, only people could calculate the odds, not machines. Even a mathematical genius like Mi Yang couldn't update the odds in real time.

As a result, the odds of gambling in the casino often change every hour.

It is precisely because of this that Guan Lin's heavy bet happened in a short period of time, and he used the status of an official at the "thief Cao's mansion", so there was no time to adjust the odds.

In addition, everyone regards Guan Lin as a "fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered" and judges the outcome of the Hefei battle as a certainty, thus ignoring the adjustment of this "odds".

To put it simply, before Guan Lin made a big bet, the Mi family was able to make a steady profit and not lose money because of Mi Yang's proficiency and calculations in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

But after Guan Lin made a big bet, this pair of Mi family gambling houses became a pure gamble, which had nothing to do with "mathematics" and "odds", but only with the outcome of the Hefei battle.

After another hour, Mi Fang and Mi Guang almost fell asleep.

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

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

Mi Yang pointed to the numbers on the bamboo slips, "If the [-] hu grains bet by Mr. Guan Si were not there, the gambling could make [-] hu. This time... I have to pay... [-] hu of grain!"

This…

Mi Yang's words surprised Mi Fang again and again.

He couldn't help but said, "So much?"

It stands to reason that when most people make the wrong bet, they should make a lot of money. In the words of my son, this kind of odds is easy to calculate and easy to do.

For example, in the battle where Gan Ning Baiqi robbed Cao Ying, Mi's gambling shop earned more than 2 hu of grain.

Of course, if the majority of people are right, that's okay. After the compensation is paid out, there will always be thousands of hu rich, so it's not a waste of work.

But this time...

Lost, there is nothing to say, but a one-time compensation of [-] hu of grain, which is enough for the grain expenses of their Mi family's trilogy for several years.

——"Sun Quan, blue eyes, your uncle..."

Mi Fang couldn't help shouting angrily.

Mi Yang said truthfully: "It's true that there are so many, and this is because the boy deliberately lowered the odds, otherwise... there will only be more... This time, this time..."

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

Not a math class, but a human heart class.

This allowed him, in addition to discovering the huge loophole in the gambling odds, to have a new understanding of the word "hidden danger".

He is still too young, only understands mathematics, but does not understand hidden dangers...

After all, it's not meticulous enough!

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

This shocked him, but also benefited him a lot.

With a sound of "bang...", Mi Fang slammed his fist heavily on the desk, and he couldn't help but scream. "hateful!"

"Father shouldn't blame the fourth son." Mi Yang persuaded: "This time it is a loophole in our gambling house, a loophole in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and a loophole in mathematics. If you want to blame... you can only blame the child!"

"It's my fault too..." Mi Guangning frowned, "It's my fault for underestimating these four young masters, and it's also my fault for being too... too greedy, oh... oh..."

The sound of dejection sounded in this small room.

And this frustrated voice seemed to be contagious, and Mi Fang also sighed.

With a sigh, he muttered: "For father... for father, where does he say that the fourth son is hateful, but for father, this hateful person is..."

"It's that Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou. I... I, Mi Zifang, have never done any business that lost money in my life, but... I fell into a big somersault on him. I... I and this Sun Zhongmou are at odds!"

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 odds of their casino itself.

It's also a matter of their greed.

Can…

Seeing his father's appearance, Mi Yang felt that his father also needs a place to vent.

Simply, Mi Yang shut his mouth and let Sun Zhongmou become the object of his father's venting, as long as his father can calm down!
Having said that, Sun Zhongmou deserved it too...

Mi Yang is a student of mathematics, one hundred thousand and several hundred, put it in any chapter of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "decline", "shaoguang", "shanggong", this amount should be an overwhelming victory .

——The probability of losing is too low!
Incredible too!
boom…

At this moment, Mi Fang suddenly got up, and after seeing the spirit of the "one night" fighting was exhausted, he threw down a scroll of bamboo slips.

Angrily, he walked out.

"Where is father going?" Mi Yang asked hastily.

"This time, although my Mi family admits to being defeated, but..." Mi Fang paused her footsteps, her words were cold, "My Mi family can't be slaughtered, isn't he, Sun Zhongmou, defeated?"

"Okay, for my father, I will go and ask Guan Gong for orders. I will be a pioneer for my father. I will lead our family's trilogy to destroy the stone city in Wu County and capture that Jiangdong Bi Yaner alive! With..."

——"The hatred in my heart with blood!"
