Chapter 001 – Pouring Wine Seventy-One

It was an eventful fall.

But for the people who are accustomed to the days of peace and quiet, but just a few more after-dinner talk. If they could not see the storm coming, they would not be on edge.

After Xu Fengyen returned to Beiliang from North Mang, he first rushed to Iron Gate Pass to intercept Zhao Kai, and after returning to the royal residence, he had to look after Xu Weixiong, and after that, he even started to pave the way with the help of Xu Chen’s strategy, and it was not until today that he boarded the building with a pot of green ant wine. It’s not that you can’t squeeze out time to listen to the tide earlier, but Xu Fengyen didn’t dare to do that.

When I was young, my legs were weak, but I was able to climb up and down very quickly in the Hearing Tide Pavilion, and now even if I fall down, I still have second-grade internal strength, and I’m walking so slowly.

Sitting at the top of the pavilion is nearly twenty years of withered man, do not smile, after the death of Beiliang chief strategist Zhao Changling, was pressed head to head, he should have been in the day of the head, for the Liyang dynasty familiar, one hundred feet pole further, in the history of leaving a can be said to be a colorful comment. But he was always right there in seclusion, why? Strategist for the bright master to point out the river and mountain, is not the figure of a death after the name of a thousand years?

Li Yishan died without a grave, so there was no monument.

A jar of ashes was brought to the border and sprinkled by Xu Xu himself. According to Li Yishan’s statement, die without a burial place, is his life, and he also thought that since he could not see Xu Snapdragon with his soldiers stepping on the North Mang in his lifetime, he thought that after death quietly looking north, by that does not recognize the disciple to complete. This bitter Xu Snapdragon did not tell Xu Fengyen, but Xu Fengyen does not know?

Xu Fengyen pushed open the door of the thin pavilion, dark and gloomy, put the green ant wine on the bookcase, lit the copper oil lamp on the corner of the case, there is a common and lonely hard pen hanging on the pen holder. Different from the previous messy books all over the floor, probably Xu Snapdragon personally organized, but the house looks more and more empty and lonely. As a child, Xu Fengnian was very afraid of this place, both with this half master of the man to read history and copy books, but also with him to play chess, once not to his liking, to be beaten solid, the key is that can not complain to anyone, but also have to look at him drink and listen to his coughing, as if the next moment will die of drunkenness. Xu Fengyen feet in the empty belly of the book case, there is a carved line fuzzy chess pier and two boxes of more and more rubbing round black and white chess pieces, stooped to move to the case, that year, in order to test and thicken the teenager Xu Fengyen’s memory, master and disciple are lifting their hands and pointing to the air to play chess, has been seldom used to the chess pier chess, Xu Fengyen opened the box of chess, grabbed a handful of black pieces.

Sitting against one less person.

In the past, there was often less Xu Fengyen who was traveling, this time there was less Li Yishan.

In the future, it would continue to be like this.

Xu Fengyen softly said, “Chen Zhi Bao went to Western Sichuan alone without a single soldier, I set up such an enemy, making you careless master.”

“Chen Zhi Bao left without a care in the world, but those of his full-fledged believers who were willing to die for him, once they left, there were nearly a hundred of them. I had Xu Snap not stop them, so you can curse if you want. In the future, in case of a loss, there will definitely be wild stories that the second dimwitted king of Beilang, indulged the tiger to return to the mountain and let a hundred cavalry into Shu, Xu Fengyen is indeed incapable of doing a great job. Chen Zhi Bao will only inferior to Xu Snapdragon’s general talent, military talent is the world’s only one, to the west of Shu for the king, just pull open the Chen word Shu King flag, I’m afraid that within a few years will be able to sit on the battlefield tens of thousands of elite troops can be defended. However, I think that since I am destined to fight with him, let’s simply fight openly and honestly, so as not to shake off those unorthodox plots and tricks.”

“The Nangong Servant who was in seclusion in the pavilion with you, Master, has already gone out to intercept Han Sable Temple, and I don’t know if it’s because the Eunuch of Kwon is one of the four enemies of White Fox Child Face. Before I killed the fifth raccoon in North Mang, I thought that this life is about to catch up with his realm with a bang, but I never thought that the battle of Iron Gate Pass, I was beaten back. It seems like master you are never excluded from letting me practice martial arts, listen to the tide of nine games, there is a game is you and Xu primrose bet on whether I can enter the first grade realm, I entered the first grade and fell out, and now I do not know whether to let you disappointed.”

“According to your arrangement, Murong Tonghuang brought an Entranced God Face Skin and lurked in the Northern Mang Royal Court. Shu Shy also went to Xiangfan City, taking ten years of her life in exchange for the glory and riches she had dreamed of, not a king’s consort, better than a king’s consort. As for whether Murong Tong Huang can land his son and take root, whether Shu Shy can successfully gap Zhao Xun and that Lu Yan who rubbed shoulders with me, you said that planning is in the hands of others and success is in the sky, I can afford to wait.”

“Xu Beihao and Chen Xiliang each have their own unique characteristics, who is like you and who is like Zhao Changling, it is not easy to say at present. Throwing a peach in return for a plum, I left Xu Huainan’s head on the banks of the Weak Water, and Xu Beihao really did tell the truth willingly on his own. He is an extremely atmospheric strategist, not confined to the curtain after the scheme, governance is also very familiar with the outstanding, the necessary gift of foresight of the strategist is even more outstanding, not surprisingly, I will let him become the first candidate for the next Secretary of Strategy. Although Chen Xiliang is from a humble background, he is a first-rate in appreciation and literary talent. You have commented on the strategist, seek their own seekers seek soldiers seek the country seek the world, in turn, layer by layer, seek their own peace, can help people to plan, the strategist of the military talent, you said that can be encountered can not be sought, their own is a scholar, but do not recommend the readers of the war on the matter of finger pointing, you can skip the realm of this level, but not the lack of the eyes of the country, you said more than the Northern Liang chess game, is a helpless rule of the lone game, can only be a dangerous victory, the strategist does not have to To deliberately seek to rule the world, as a goal, then, we have to drag down the family base of Northern Liang twenty years of hard work to save up, and to be relatively stupid to follow the trend, I’m not sure what Xu Chen two people think in their hearts, can only take a step to see a step. Bei Liang can only lose once, but Bei Mang Liyang can lose many times, I don’t mind doing it with my tail between my legs, anyway, so many years have long since gotten used to it.”

“My second sister can probably be competent to take on the important task of strategizing the military, I will let Wutong courtyard become a similar to the Guangling King Zhao Yi’s military key place Chunxue building, who said that the woman is like that absolutely no great weapon to pass on the Longquan kiln.”

Xu Fengnian chattered in this way sporadically.

He was originally not a person who liked to ramble, killing the enemy was like this, killing Tao Qianzhi who left the city behind during the Qingming Festival, killing the devil Xie Ling, killing the Tuoba Spring Falcon’s retinue, and killing the fifth raccoon of Mt. Tibingshan was like this.

Xu Fengyen bowed his head and said: ”You once used the strength of the hand muscles of chess to assess the gains and losses of several strategists in the world, in which Huang Longshi took the top spot, getting seventy-six pieces, Yuan Benxi who always hides behind the emperor was second, getting sixty-seven pieces. I have the audacity to put a lid on Master today as well.”

“Between spring and autumn, you for Xu Snapdragon, is tantamount to seeking the world for the Zhao family’s son of heaven, unification of the Central Plains, the vastness of the territory of the Liyang Dynasty is not inferior to the Great Qin Empire of eight hundred years ago. Ten pieces get ten pieces.”

Xu Fengnian dropped ten pieces on the chessboard.

“Insight foresight matter, master almost alone, force Xu Snapdragon not to fight for the world, not to sit in that rolling dragon chair. Score six pieces. Step by step, he expelled Chen Zhi Bao into Shu, gaining four pieces.”

After gently putting down the six pieces, Xu Fengnian grabbed another handful of pieces from the chess box.

“In the matter of geography, under your guidance, the court allowed Xu Snap to lead the troops into Northern Liang and anointed the king of a different surname, far away from the capital, and was able to guard the northwestern gateway of the dynasty, obtaining nine sons.”

“You like to personally seek soldiers, but single-handedly contributed to the consort grave battle and Chu Lushan’s thousands of riders to open the Shu, after the pacification of Western Shu is to use the Jedi Plan, after entering Beiliang, but also to create no less than 100,000 sinners and stragglers thickly gathered into a battle-ready army, just wait for me to become the king of Beiliang after the promulgation of a paper edict pardon, will be sitting in possession of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Get eight sons.”

“Diplomacy, Xu Snapdragon in accordance with your layout, with the court and Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang more than ten years of mediation, without losing the wind, far better than the king of Yanzhi under the strategist, is deservedly the world’s rule of the orphan strong hand the first person. Get nine sons.”

“Astronomy, you do not believe in ghosts and gods, shall not be a son.”

“Appreciation of people, Xu Snapdragon six righteous son, Yuan Zuozong Chu Lushan Qi Dangguo three people are from your unique eyes, get six sons. Yao Jane Ye Xizhen two people, deducted four sons. Thereafter personally for Xu Beihao Chen Xiliang wrote the carving method, temporarily added four sons.”

“Beiliang desolate, hand holding just three states of land, in your thing exhaustive governance planning, still let the north mang dare not have the slightest movement, and smooth for Xu primrose get hereditary reckless, let me this kind of straw man have the opportunity to be the king of Beiliang, get eight sons.”

There were already sixty pieces on the board.

Then the body with literary talent and other relatively idle six things, the chessboard slowly added eleven pieces one after another.

Xu Fengyen looked at the chessboard with fascination, “A strategist should first strategize for himself. The ‘invincible’ Huang Longshi who created the chaotic situation in the Spring and Autumn is still at large, and Yuan Benxi who is invincible behind the scenes of the Zhao family’s calculations and ‘unrivaled in the world in his forehand’ is also safe and sound, and he is hidden in the dynasty. Yan Zhi Wang’s chief strategist is even in the southern border of one person under ten thousand people, enjoying all the riches of the world. Master, what about you?”

Carrying a jug of green ant wine.

Pour the wine on the chessboard.

Pouring out the jug of green ants, Xu Fengyen, who was alone in the room, burst into tears and choked, “Master, who do you want me to bring wine to in the future?”
