Although Yu Fan didn't say anything, after seeing Zhuge Liang away, he immediately found out the Western Regions mathematics given by the emperor and read it carefully.
He was fascinated by this sight.
This is a kind of mathematics that is completely different from what he has learned in the past.
A window suddenly opened in front of him, and through the gap, he saw a huge different scenery.
After finishing the thin book in one breath, it was pitch black outside the window.
Yu Fan put down the book, pushed the door out, looked at the palace where the lights were already on, and let out a sigh of relief, then felt a little ashamed again.
I didn't expect that there was such a wise man among the barbarians. I heard the emperor talk about the Western Regions when he talked about his calculations, but now I realize that he is ignorant.
It seems that the emperor attached great importance to the study of the Western Regions not for a moment, but for deeper considerations.
The emperor first stabilized Liangzhou before the Central Plains, which may not be entirely because Liangzhou has elite troops, and may also be related to the Western Regions. Trade routes are one, and knowledge is one.
Where did he learn this?
Yu Fan had heard that when Emperor Xiaoling was alive, he was like Hu Feng, but he also felt that the emperor had something to do with that ridiculous late emperor, even if they were father and son.
The most obvious point is that except for sacrificing Buddha in the palace and wearing Hu robes, Emperor Xiaoling seemed to have not done any serious things, nor did he study any mathematical science in the Western Regions.
The emperor's knowledge must have other sources.
Could it be that Hu Shang Anthony? The emperor once said that many of these Western Regions books were collected by Anthony.
Yu Fan decided to find Anthony as soon as possible and find out what other commendable knowledge in the Western Regions.
Before this, he would read the Western Regions mathology given by the emperor several times until he was proficient in order to further discuss with the emperor.
The gap between the two is too big, and it is boring to talk.
Sun Ce stood under the eaves, his eyes crossed the courtyard wall, and looked at the gate of the inn.
He had been waiting here for a long time, but Yu Fan's figure never appeared.
This made him feel empty and indescribable anxiety.
He will discuss his position during the meeting tomorrow. As his most trusted think tank, Yu Fan stayed in the palace and didn't even show his face.
He didn't think that Yu Fan was a man who was inclined to the point of being in power. The Emperor Xu's martial arts lecture hall was not enough to make Yu Fan so heartless. Yu Fan must have been delayed by other things.
The biggest suspicion is the emperor.
The emperor showed a strong interest in Yu Fan from the beginning, even above him and Zhou Yu.
"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu walked over, followed Sun Ce's gaze, and guessed Sun Ce's thoughts. He pulled Sun Ce's arm over. "Stop looking, I have something to say to you."
Sun Ce cheered up and returned to the house with Zhou Yu, sitting opposite him.
"The emperor promises you that the sea borders thousands of miles away should be no problem." Zhou Yu went straight to the point. "But one thing, I think you understand. It is not realistic to go abroad before the tower ships that can sail on the sea appear."
Sun Ce nodded. Although he was a little disappointed, he also knew that this was a real difficulty. Even if the emperor asked him to go to war now, he would not agree.
"Mr. Yang proposed two plans and asked me to ask you for your opinions."
“What plan?”
Gu Yan
"One is that you continue to be the prefect of Kuaiji, waiting for the warships. The other is that you become the prefect of Beihai to assist Liu Bei in the battle. Now you are fighting Yuan Xi, after Qingzhou is pacified, and then you are going to fight against Liaodong. When Liaodong is pacified, perhaps the latest warships can be built.
That's it."
Sun Ce pondered for a moment. "Where are you?"
"If possible, I want to go on a war with you." Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "But what my uncle meant, maybe I still hope that I will stay in Chang'an. What's more, it depends on the emperor's meaning."
Sun Ce nodded, feeling a little disappointed.
After Yu Fan, Zhou Yu also wanted to part ways with him.
"One more thing."
"Tell me." Sun Ce lowered his head. "Why do you have to be a child-like attitude between you and me?"
"As for Lingzun's title, it is righteous that you give it to Ji Zun, but the court has its own courtesy. I am afraid it is still between the two. If you still have the title, the court will arrange a marquis residence and your wife for you.
My son also needs to stay in Chang'an. Of course, even if you don't receive the title, you still have to stay in your official position of 2,000 stone."
Sun Ce laughed. "So I still think that it's better for you to stay in Chang'an. If my wife and children are taken care of by you, I can also save my worries."
Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce for a while. "Bofu, if the emperor said it was true, I wouldn't stay in Chang'an for too long. Maybe before you left the East China Sea, I went to the southwest first. I heard from my uncle that the emperor was right
I pay great attention to the affairs of the Western Regions. I can travel southwest of Shu to India."
"Is that true?"
"It shouldn't be a false statement. The emperor has ordered the imperial physicians to develop medical agents to deal with miasma. In addition to the southwest, where can we use this medicine? Bo Fu, maybe we still have time to fight side by side."
Sun Ce laughed. "I'm in the southeast and you're in the southwest. How can you have the opportunity to fight side by side?"
"It's hard to say, I'll see you all together if you're destined to be together." Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed. "I heard that traveling from Tianzhu to the west can be reached to the Qin Dynasty, which is what they call Rome. Although you can also take the land route, it is obviously more convenient to travel by sea."
"The emperor has such great ambitions?" Sun Ce couldn't help but breathe. "Aren't scholars afraid that he would be powerful and powerful?"
He had heard people say that Rome was truly thousands of miles away and far away in the sky.
"Although the emperor is young, he has his own opinions. It cannot be changed by a scholar." Zhou Yu laughed, revealing a hint of yearning. "Bo Fu, this is an opportunity for you and me to show their ambitions, and they will be more important than to draw the river and govern.
grand."
Sun Ce faced Zhou Yu's eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and gradually turned into a laugh.
The strategy of the river was drawn up by Zhang Hong for him. Now it seems that the possibility of realizing this strategy no longer exists. The destiny is in the Han Dynasty, and the emperor emerges suddenly, and the momentum of the revival of the Han Dynasty is unstoppable. He can only retreat and seek.
Second.
Conquering overseas, until thousands of miles away, may not be as good as the Han Dynasty.
If there really is one day when the emperor cannot manage this ten thousand miles of territory, it will become one of the few choices. If you are a king with a different surname, you don’t have to bear the burden of rebelling against the Han Dynasty. Loyalty and filial piety are almost the best choice.
Once again, he and Zhou Yu had a close relationship and thought about it together.
"If there really is that day, there will be no regrets in this life." Sun Ce put away his smile and sighed.
“That’s true.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
After thinking about the future for a while, Sun Ce suddenly said, "Gongjin, there is something I want to hear what you mean."
"you say."
"Anyway, I can't be the prefect of Kuaiji for a few days. Wujun and Danyang will also hand over it. Can there be a few people dealing with it so that they will not echo Yuan Shaoyao, and pounding their lips and shaking their tongues, which is annoying."
Zhou Yu's face changed slightly. "Are you talking about the Zhou brothers in Kuaiji?"
"It's not only them." Sun Ce said gloomyly: "There are Sheng Xian, Wei Teng and others. I feel upset when I think about them."
