Chapter 150 Where there is a win, there is a loss

Game theory is a discipline that studies the use of relevant parties' strategies to implement corresponding strategies in games between multiple individuals or teams under specific conditions.
In the game, the parties participating in the struggle have different goals and interests. In order to achieve their respective goals and interests, the parties must consider the various possible action plans of their opponents and try to choose the most beneficial or reasonable solutions for themselves.
In the game, the strong may not win, and the weak may not always come out, because in the game, especially in the game of multiple participants, the result depends not only on the strength and strategy of the participants, but also on the constraints and strategies of other participants.
Just like Liu Feng, in this game in which Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and even Lu Su also participated in, he was a veritable weak person, but in the final ending, he not only survived, but also obtained the expected benefits.
If there is no restriction between many participants, whether it is Zhou Yu or Liu Bei, any one of them has the possibility to eliminate Liu Feng, and it is the strategic checks and balances generated by the game that make Liu Feng successfully win the final victory as a weak person.
Of course, Liu Bei is not a loser. Although he paid for Jiangxia and had to give up eliminating Liu Feng, he got the coveted South County, which is a strategic place connecting Xiangyang in the north and Yizhou in the west. In the core area of Jingzhou, his income is still extremely rich.
As for Sun Quan, he was also a winner. He won Jiangxia, and his power steadily extended into the hinterland of Jingzhou. He could not only use Liu Bei to contain Cao Qian, but also use Liu Feng to contain Liu Bei. The most important thing was to take the opportunity to eliminate Zhou Yu's tail. He was also a profiteer.
Of course, if all parties in the game are profiters, the world will be at peace.
If there is a winner, there must be a loser.
Zhou Yu is the loser.
Liu Feng vaguely remembered that the university teacher once said that Sun Tzu's Art of War was the oldest game theory. However, in the game struggle, the ancients often relied on experience to implement strategies. It was not until modern times that game theory rose to the theoretical stage and became a branch of mathematics.
Liu Feng suddenly thought that in this era of excellent games, if he could rely on what he had learned, build a feasible mathematical model for the game between the heroes, and rely on scientific means to guide his strategy, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
"Lord, don't be in a daze with excitement."
Pang Tong's joke interrupted Liu Feng's mind. Liu Feng could only temporarily put down his "sudden whim" and return to reality.
"No, I'm just thinking that although I survived in the cracks, Liu Bei, a strong enemy, still exists, and I can borrow such an important place as Nanjun. Now I am sandwiched between Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Except for the barren land of Lingnan, there is no direction to expand, and I can't be trapped in the second county of Xiangdong forever. Eat and wait to die."
One near-the-life crisis is solved, and the other distant crisis quickly fills the gap.
In the face of Liu Feng's worries, Pang Tong smiled disdainfully, "The master is at ease. The master doesn't want to eat and wait to die. Liu Bei and Sun Quan also don't want to eat and wait for death. As long as the two sides take action, the checks and balances will be broken sooner or later. As soon as the checks and measures are broken, the opportunity will appear. What the lord has to do now is to hug the beauty back at ease. After that, I silently accumulated strength and waited for the opportunity to come.
Pang Tong is right. At the beginning, when he was alone in Xiakou, he was in such a bleak situation. He successfully survived such a difficult situation, and he also made today's achievements. What's the fear now?
Pang Tong's self-confidence made Liu Feng feel at ease a lot, so he said, "What you said is very true, but I have one more thing to worry about."
"Don't worry, I have my own way to go back to the master."
Pang Tong is Zhou Yu's subordinate. Although he has now returned to him, Liu Feng is worried about how he can rightly return to his side for advice. Obviously, Pang Tong understood Liu Feng's concerns. Seeing that Pang Tong was so confident, Liu Feng was relieved.
The kings and ministers here are of the same mind, and the conversation is very harmonious, but on the other side, the atmosphere is not so friendly.
"Zi Jing, Jiang Xia, I can give up. Wuhou didn't want to marry his sister to me, and I didn't complain, but Wuhou now plans to marry his sister to Liu Feng, which is really unacceptable to me. Liu Feng calmed his face and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Lu Su had a peaceful smile on his face and explained patiently, "You trust Liu Shijun like your own brother. Otherwise, you would not have borrowed the hard-earned Nanjun from Shijun. You should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of Wu Hou. As for marrying Sister Sun to Liu Feng, my Marquis Wu also has his own difficulties. I hope Liu Shijun can understand.
"Liu Feng is in the land of bullets, and there are few soldiers. As long as Wu Hou says a word, I can immediately destroy him. What difficulties can Wu Hou have for such a small role?" Liu Bei retorted coldly.
Lu Su sighed, "You don't know anything. When my Miss Sun invited you and Liu Feng to break the battle, since then, she went to tell my wife that she took a good look at Liu Feng and said that she would not marry him. My wife is the most loving children, so she mainly marries the young lady to Liu Feng. You also know that Wuhou has always been a filial person. The lady has a destiny. He dares not to obey, so that the king's benevolence and righteousness are famous all over the world. He should be able to understand Wuhou's filial piety.
Lu Su's explanation is the most intelligent. Loyalty and filial piety is the essence of ethics. He moved out the word "filial piety". Liu Bei, who has always boasted of benevolence and righteousness, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't say anything more, otherwise he will slap himself in the face.
Liu Bei's face immediately changed slightly. Of course, he knew that the order of the lady was mostly made up by Lu Su, but it was Miss Sun. It was also possible for the girl's family to take a favor of Liu Feng's little white face, but the marriage of her children, the fate of her parents and elder brother, it doesn't matter whether Miss Sun like Liu Feng or not. In a word, This is why Sun Quan wanted to use Liu Feng to contain himself, but he found a reason that he could not oppose.
Knowing this, Liu Bei could only swallow this bitter water secretly.
Suddenly, the originally gloomy and dissatisfied face was full of smiles in an instant, "Wu Hou's filial piety really makes me admire. Zijing, you too, didn't say it earlier. If I knew that it was the meaning of the old lady, I didn't need Wu Hou to open my mouth. I would take the initiative to take back this marriage invitation, and I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed as Wu Hou. Filial piety is great, and this is the law of heaven.
In a blink of an eye, the attitude is very different.
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and said with a busy smile, "Liu Shijun can be so generous and understand the filial piety of my Wuhou. He really lives up to the name of benevolence and righteousness."
