When the Luoyang envoys came to Jingzhou to discuss the accounts, Liu Qi and other major generals were all here.

In military negotiations, the military stationed there has always been required to show its strong military strength to the opponent. This is also a technique that can gain a head start in terms of momentum and gain favorable momentum for negotiations.

Just like when Li Jue entered Sun Jian's commanding tent, Sun Jian ordered his elite soldiers to stand up in two rows inside the tent to overwhelm Li Jue with his imposing manner.

But Li Jue was born in a powerful family in Xiliang, and he was a veteran general who was accustomed to fighting. His reputation spread throughout Liangzhou, and he could be regarded as someone who was used to seeing life and death.

This would work for ordinary scholars and envoys, but not for Li Jue.

Li Jue didn't take Sun Jian's arrogance with him very seriously, and was even disdainful of it. He even felt disgusted with Sun Jian from the bottom of his heart.

Now Li Jue has come to Jingzhou to negotiate with Liu Qi. In fact, he is holding a fire in his heart.

He had already made up his mind. Later, if Liu Qi also negotiated with him in the same position as Sun Jian, he would risk leaving his body here, and he would have to fall into the opponent's face.

It was normal for Li Jue to act turbulently. After all, he was a sergeant, not a lobbyist. For him, this kind of job as an envoy was not as easy as leading thousands of people to plunder various states.

But things were not as bad as Li Jue thought.

During Liu Qi's discussion, there were no soldiers, no swords, and no angry scoldings. There were just a few long tables, wine and food on top, and the eldest son of the governor, who had a warm smile on his face and treated him politely.

"Liu Qi, a native of Shanyang, has met General Li. He has admired the general's majesty for a long time. He is very pleased to see him today."

Li Jue held back his anger and wanted to show his arrogance in front of Liu Qi.

I never thought that the other party would come up and praise me, I couldn't help but be surprised.

The anger that had been building up in Sun Jian just now was actually much weaker at this moment.

"Young Master Liu, you're too polite. Jue is just a general under the prime minister's command. He is a martial artist from Liangzhou. How can he be so powerful as a tiger?" Li Jue said with a smile.

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "Otherwise, Liu Qi was ordered by Lord Yan to lead his army to Luo to protect the Lord. Before leaving Xiangyang, he was told by Lord Yan that although he was going to Luo to protect the Lord this time, he would not necessarily fight with other armies, but if

When you encounter three people, you must remember to avoid their sharp edges."

When Li Jue heard this, he became interested and asked, "Oh? I wonder who the three people Liu Shijun mentioned are?"

Liu Qi said: "The first is Prime Minister Dong, the second is Sun Jian, and the third is General Li... The others are like Lu Bu and Yuan, so there is no need to worry."

Li Jue also knew that Liu Qi's words were polite and not the truth.

But humans are creatures that are easily influenced by their senses. Even if they know that the other person is not telling the truth, they will be happy if they hear what they hear, and therefore their goodwill will soar suddenly and unknowingly.

Especially since he had been angry with Sun Jian just now, and now being treated favorably by Liu Qi, his heart naturally felt tight and comfortable.

"Young Master is too polite, how can you dare to take the position? In fact, Jue has also heard of the young master's name. He heard that Mr. Liu rode into Yicheng alone and quelled the rebellion of Nanjun clan traitors for his father, allowing Liu Shijun to take office on a smooth road. He can be said to be a model of filial son in the world.

,Although Li Jue is a vulgar husband, he deeply admires the master's ability!"

Liu Qi waved his hand humbly, then turned to look at the two people beside Li Jue and asked: "General, who are these two?"

An old man in his sixties next to him nodded to Liu Qi and looked at Liu Qi with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I'm glad to meet you, Cai Yong."

Liu Qi smiled slightly when he heard Cai Yong's name.

You are finally here.

Since the last time he sent Wang Qian a letter asking for the loan of tens of thousands of classics, there has been no news from him, which made Liu Qi feel a little anxious.

Is it possible to borrow it or not? Why didn’t you reply to the letter?

Okay, now that we're here, let's straighten things out.

Liu Qi made up his mind to find an opportunity to talk to him alone.

Liu Qi looked at Cai Yong carefully and saw that he was eight feet tall, very thin, with cheekbones in his face, and a neatly trimmed short beard that was half black and half white. Although he was an envoy, he wore a long white washed Confucian jacket.

, wearing a burqa, simple and elegant, looking like a noble scholar.

Liu Qi bowed to Cai Yong and said, "Student Liu Qi, I have met Cai Zhonglang."

However, Cai Yong turned sideways, gave Liu Qi a half-courteous greeting, and said, "I heard that my master is Mr. Yuanjie of Shanyang. Mr. Yuanjie and my uncle Shijun are contemporaries in discussing scriptures. You and I cannot practice the teacher's ceremony."

Liu Qi couldn't help but smile when he heard this. It seemed that the old man Cai Yong had come prepared.

He actually even found out who his master was.

Liu Qi's teacher was his fellow countryman Zhang Jian, a native of Gaoping, Shanyang. Not only was he a fellow countryman of Liu Qi, but he was also a person responsible for the party's troubles with Liu Biao. The two were equally famous in the world.

Before Liu Qi entered Imperial College, he was recommended by Liu Biao in order to gain a strong resume, and was recorded as Zhang Jian's first disciple, but in fact Zhang Jian did not teach him much.

Famous Confucian schools in the Han Dynasty were sometimes like this. They gave each other a master and apprenticeship and showed off each other in order to occupy more social resources. As for how much culture can be truly transmitted between teachers and apprentices, it can be said that

It's not particularly important anymore.

Liu Qi said: "Cai Zhonglang is a master of all the Confucian classics and mathematics, and he is the best in teachings, precepts and training. It is appropriate to accept Liu Qi's gift."

Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled kindly: "You are also a disciple of a great Confucian and a young leader, so why should you be humble? When you have free time, you and I, old and young, can learn from each other some articles and mathematics."

Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "I don't dare. It's better to say that other things are better. I really don't dare to show my weakness in front of Zhonglang."

In the years since Liu Qi traveled to the Han Dynasty, if he talks about foresight, forward-looking thinking, the psychology of human nature, advanced economics and politics, or making some inventions and creations that are not available in this era... As a time traveler, he

They all felt that they were superior to the people of the Han Dynasty. Even the famous scholars who studied heaven and man, Liu Qi thought that he was not inferior to them.

However, if you did not have advanced skills in the two most basic subjects in your school days...mathematics and Chinese, you must not show your shame in front of the ancients, especially the famous people who are proficient in classics, mathematics and mathematics.

Why are mathematics and Chinese the basic subjects for primary school students in later generations?... Because these two subjects have been children's subjects since ancient times.

Needless to say, articles, if modern people don't 'plagiarize' articles and let them compare poems, lyrics, and poems with ancient literati based on their true abilities, which one will be their rival?

As for math…

The date of the writing of the copy of Zhoubi Suanjing given to Liu Qi by Liu Biao is unknown, but it is estimated to be at least several hundred years old.

The book begins with a conversation between Zhou Gong and Shang Gao, describing the origin of moments... Gu Xiu Si, Jing Yu Wu, etc. The speech is actually the Pythagorean Theorem. The subsequent chapters also include a large number of fraction problems... This

It is still the same level as the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago...

You must not easily compete with the ancients on basic subjects such as arithmetic and Chinese. This is Liu Qi's warning to himself.

After chatting with Cai Yong for a while, Li Jue said: "Master Liu, how about we go into the account and discuss it in detail?"

Liu Qi turned to look at the inconspicuous middle-aged scribe next to Li Jue. He seemed to be standing behind Li Jue unintentionally and remained silent. If Liu Qi hadn't paid special attention, he would have been forgotten long ago.

.

"Who is this?" Liu Qi asked Li Jue.

Li Jue chuckled and said, "Young Master Liu has a sharp eye."

He turned around and said, "Wen He, you'd better come and see Mr. Liu."
