Chapter 302 – King of Western Chu (III)

The battle was in full swing on the western sands of Guangling Road. With 10,000 elite cavalry of Jibei joining Wu Chongxuan’s command, the court’s troop strength has been dominant, followed by Xu Gong leading the Jinggi elite and 20,000 Shu army rushed to the battlefield, so above the western line, the court army has formed a lion wrestling with a rabbit on the western Chu situation, in which the Wang Tongshan’s old troops broke through the old Dushan defense line, taking the lead in breaking the stalemate, and the second battle of the western bastion wall has become a nailed on final decision. On this occasion, Wu Chongxuan as Secretary of the Ministry of War held a military conference, the location is set in a small place called Wutong Town, in addition to a West Bastion wall across the ancient battlefield of the eastern front of the main generals Song Kasa can not participate, almost all the court generals involved in the Guangling Road counter-insurgency are gathered in the town, at one time appeared in the periphery of the town of Wutong, the number of scouts and rangers such as the River Carp.

In the twilight, a black high crown middle-aged man stood on the town looking into the distance, surrounded by a tall young man wearing iron armor as a retinue, the latter was full of resentment, gritted his teeth and said: “that Wu Lao’er is really cunning, knowing that his identity as a general of the southern expedition to make the call of the various military, take the title of the Ministry of the military to flaunt the power of the military, if not for this, the general as the nominal commander in chief of the southern expedition, the head of the general’s army, the general’s military, the general’s military, the general’s military, the general’s military, the general’s military. If not, general you as the nominal commander of the southern expedition, the title is higher than the four conquests of the four towns and half a rank of Phyllis Yi general, although not a permanent general of the court, but now it is a time of war, is not he Wu Lao’er can be lightly insulted! Wu Lao Er has the cheek to let you personally come to this shitless place, Wu Lao Er is hateful, that Yang Kui is even more shameless, also one of the few veteran generals of the Spring and Autumn period, not to mention comparable to Yan Zhenchun, in my opinion, than that Yang Shenxing, who has been relegated to the north of the country to drink the wind in the north, is even worse than that!”

Speaking here, the young man was a bit puzzled, lowered his voice and asked cautiously, “General, why don’t you speak out to rebuke today? Do you also think that what I said is reasonable?”

The middle-aged man, who was not wearing armor or the official uniform of a military minister, ignored the question, reaching out and placing his hand on the rough arrows of the wall, his face solemn. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the city’s spring grass is deep and green, and the warm spring breeze brushed his face. From time to time under the foot of a small team of elite cavalry attached to the Southern Frontier Border Army in the past years galloped in and out of the town, riding skill is exquisite, no less than the two Liao Border Army, it is difficult to imagine that it is from the miasma of the land of the pawns. This came from afar Wutong town guests is Lu Shengxiang, in the Spring and Autumn in the middle and late fame, and a thousand riders open Shu Chu Lushan flush, the southern border Tanghe Li Chunyu this set of tough generals regardless of the war or reputation, compared to him and Chu Lushan are inferior to a chip, from start to finish did not experience the fire of the Spring and Autumn War of the original Longchamp General Xu Gong, early on for the future of this Ministry of the Army colleague, but also extremely high regard, there have been “Lu Shengxiang can be the pillar of the southeast” praise. Lu Shengxiang side of this young general is in the You Lu Guan feed horses for a long time Guo Dongfeng, in the beginning of the year down south in the campaign as a vanguard generals, remarkable achievements, it is said to have been Jane in the heart of the emperor, regardless of lifting the Lord Lu Shengxiang later is to ascend or descend, he Guo Dongfeng is considered to be the future of the future is not in the way. Untamed Guo Dongfeng is used to the mouth, more used to be Lu Shengxiang reprimand knock, this time Lu Shengxiang surprisingly did not stop him from speaking out of turn is to let this ambition in the border Marquis of the young generals some uncomfortable, originally there is a large part of the belly of the complaint can not be said. Lu Shengxiang’s unusual silence, to Guo Dongfeng brought great pressure, the nature of the free-spirited he had to take off his belt sword one by one knocking the wall.

Guo Dongfeng’s depression is not entirely without reason, Guangling Road war is nearly over, but the main general Lu Shengxiang as the nominal first person in the southern expedition, first of all in the Youlu Pass military orders can not be, and then it is not easy to leave aside the vice general Yang Kui, who refused to take risks to win the southern expedition, Lu Shengxiang personally led the troops into danger to attack, but in the city of Tai’an, the court side of the courtroom to cause a lot of criticism, and there are courtiers to send out the heart of the words, the words can be described as Extremely insidious, do not dare to say how bad Phyllis Yi General, on the contrary, only said Lu Shengxiang this person is deservedly great general talent. It is a general rather than marshal, which clearly means that Lu Shengxiang alone to lead the army “will soldiers” no problem, but if you say that the need to serve as a “will will” of the southern expedition of the commander-in-chief is a bit incompetent. Guo Dongfeng hates the old general Yang Kui, because Yang Kui is really old, no ambition to open up the territory, no fault is merit, under the command of only 20,000 to 30,000 people, but stuffed in more than 200 Tai’an City officials and eunuchs children, compared to Yang Shenxeng’s style is even more exaggerated, the latter, after all, only accepts the children of generals, Yang Kui’s food is even worse, it can be said to be all-accepting, interspersed with so much run to the Canton Road, lying down to reap military success! Embroidered pillows, Yang Kui how dare to have half a bit of enterprising heart, so the old general led the army to the south, hate to hold Lu Shengxiang’s thighs so that it can not move, only think of waiting until the momentum of the Western Chu has gone to share a piece of the pie, obviously Yang Shenxing’s previous experience, so that this is the use of the military veteran Yang Kui had to be more cautious, Guo Dongfeng previously saw the main force of the Yang Kui army tortoise-speed advancement not to mention the scouts scouting horse intensive frequent Guo Dongfeng thinks that the use of scouting horses is even more extreme, Guo Dongfeng thinks that it can be recorded in the history books, almost every three miles there will be a full standard of scouting horses, spreading nets, especially at that time, when I heard that the Northern Liang cavalry army was heading straight to the Guangling Road, Yang Kui’s army located in the western part of the Lu Shengxiang, even if it is still separated by a way of the Jizhou cavalry army and a way of Xu Gong’s army, Yang Kui began to order to halt the pace of advancement, Guo Dongfeng has heard that more than two hundred government officials have almost half of their sons in the night, and that they have been sent to the capital city to escort the grain of the capital city. They then retreated backward at a rapid pace in the name of meeting and escorting the grain and grass from the capital. Guo Dongfeng almost laughed his head off at this.

An elegant man wearing the official robes of the military minister did not have a retinue to follow, walked up to the city alone, Guo Dongfeng turned his head to look at, although it is an unfamiliar face, but the third grade of the official complementary son of the illustrious identity is obvious, the Ministry of the Ministry of the Army, Xu Gong, the top pillar of the Jiangnan Daugurmu Xu’s, as the original Jiangnan scholar leaders of the Ministry of the Army, Lu Baijie in the city of Tai’an “folded” after Xu Gong undoubtedly “After, Xu Gong will undoubtedly follow the trend to become the Jiangnan Road officials in the capital of the successor to talk about people. Guo Dongfeng has no ill feelings towards this person, Xu Gong and their own benefactor Lu Shengxiang is really the same disease, Xu Gong into the capital in the Ministry of War, buttocks under the Ministry of War’s chair is not hot, was thrown to the two Liao to patrol the border, it is not easy to rely on the border of Liaodong auxiliary Gu Jiantang’s string of shortcuts to take charge of the military, this time the south is also a grimy face, it can be said that if not now Xu Gong attracted most of the attention of the capital! It can be said that if it is not now Xu Gong attracted most of the attention of the capital, Lu Shengxiang’s days I am afraid that it is also difficult to get through some, so Tai’an City officialdom already have the “suffering minister” joke.

Lu Shengxiang cold temperament, whether in the Guangling Road Spring Snow House or Tai’an City officialdom, has always had the “reputation” of rigidity and purity, but after seeing Xu Gong mounted the city, a slight smile, the initiative to take a few steps forward, cupped his fists and said: “Lu Mou have met Servant General Xu.”

Xu Gong looks great, both the martial arts sand field gas, also has the unique family descendants of Qing Yi gas, compared to the birth of Lu Shengxiang, Xu Gong to be more in line with the image of Confucian generals in the minds of the readers, he saw Lu Shengxiang’s initiative to show goodwill, but also smiled sincerely said: “Xu Gong admired General Lu for a long time, and finally be able to see the real person, a hundred times as good as a glimpse of me, I’m a thousand miles south of the trip would be worth the trip. ”

Lu Shengxiang smiled and said: “Southern Tang Dynasty Gu Dazu ‘Ashes Collection’ created the first military situation theory, Lu Mou originally thought ‘military words’ has been said in this book, the world is difficult to have a higher opinion, the only king of Shu Chen Zhi Bao’s book of the military can be comparable, everything is detailed, hundreds of thousands of words, teaching the army generals and soldiers in the step by step, each in their respective roles, know well how to use the military, and how to use the military, and how to use the military, and how to use the military, and how to use the military. The book was written in hundreds of thousands of words, teaching everyone in the army to follow the steps, to do their respective duties, and to understand the essence of the art of war, the ‘microcosm of the word’. When Mr. Xu entered the capital, I was no longer in the capital, but it so happened that the book on military affairs written by Mr. Xu was circulated, and I had nothing to do all day in Youlu Pass, so I concentrated on studying it, and benefited from it, and didn’t feel that the time was wasted. Xu said I Lu Shengxiang is the mainstay of the Southeast, I previously Jiangnan Road scholar stereotypes are very deep, mistakenly thought that Xu is also that kind of paper talking about the military eye of the low corruption of Confucianism, if it is a few years earlier to read that book of war, at that time, I should have said ‘Xu Longchamp is the mainstay of the Southeast,’ even if it is the world mistakenly think that you and I invite each other to name, but also no harm. ”

Xu Gong laughed heartily and said, “I can get Lu Shengxiang’s words in front of me, which is better than a million words from afar.”

Xu arch mouth “far away”, naturally, is the temple of Tai’an City on the boil, the implication is that even if he Xu arch lost his office away from the capital, do not do that the Ministry of the Army, is not a great thing.

The first time I saw, probably said Xu Gong and Lu Shengxiang.

Guo Dongfeng interjected: “Xu Gong, it is said that the famous Jizhou General Yuan Tingshan, not with you here?”

Xu Gong laughed frankly, “General Yuan did leave two days earlier than I did, but it was Che Ye, the main general of the Western Shu foot soldiers, who came with me.”

Guo Dongfeng heatedly laughed, “No wonder our old General Yang Kui Yang entered the city yesterday, and Lord Shangshu had that young and accomplished General Yuan standing beside him. What, Squire Xu came to the city today to pay homage to that King Jing’an as well?”

Regarding this young primus’s unrestrained speech, Xu Gong was unimpressed and shook his head, “The King of Jing’an has his own Lord Shangshu to greet him, I just heard that the King of Shu might arrive today and thought I’d come to take a closer look at a few things.”

Lu Shengxiang blandly said, “I and the King of Shu previously joined forces to break the enemy in the northern battlefield of Guangling Road, but only met from afar and went our separate ways, and I regretted that today is generally the same as Servant Xu.”

Gu Jiantang, Chen Zhibao, Lu Baijie, Wu Chongxuan, Lu Shengxiang, Xu Gong, and Tang Tieshuang.

These seven people, undoubtedly, is away from the Yang Ministry of War in the last five years, in addition to the war for the Guangling Road drag had to take the blame for the resignation of the Lu Baijie has been eclipsed from the field, Gu Jiantang led the two Liao Liao military and political, Chen Zhi Bao on the feudal vassal of the Western Sichuan, are well-deserved high, Wu Chongxuan at this time is as the sun, and the retainer in the Tang Tiexuan the latest to enter the capital, but compared to the head of the city of the two Xu Gong Lu Shengxiang, there are a few minutes! The implication of the latter, the court and the field are gradually Tang Tiexuan as the next Secretary of the Ministry of the Army of the right choice, it can be seen that this time leading the army south did not succeed in stopping the Northern Liang cavalry, Xu Gong lost how many “hearts and minds”.

At this time in Wutong town there is a large group of people galloping out of the city, there is no lack of young people sitting high on their horses with a high expression, Guo Dongfeng lazily lying on the arrows, looking at the figure of their whip horse out of the city, crooked his mouth, full of disdain.

Xu Gong stood beside Lu Shengxiang and smiled, “It seems that King Jing’an is quite popular.”

Lu Shengxiang smiled and played taste: “Now the world who do not know that King Jing’an is loyal to the court, all said that it can be a model for the world’s vassal king. The previous four or five years, the court has not yet sealed a word king, many vassal king son, north Liang Xu Fengyin to playboy famous, south border Zhao cast to the courage of martial arts fame, Guangling Zhao Phyo to cool, Liaodong Zhao wing of the stream, relatively unknown, Zhao Xun was only in the JiangZuo WenLin small fame, but no one think he can hereditary recklessly vassal king title, do not think that a short period of two or three years, the first is to the two sparse thirteen strategy famous Beijing, and then to rescue The king of Huainan, Zhao Ying, who fought to the death without retreating, is known as both wise and courageous, and now the group of clan elite who followed General Yang Kui to Wutong Town outside the city are probably admirers of King Jing’an, who is also the same age. Guo Dongfeng, how does a saying go?”

Guo Dongfeng, who suddenly heard Lu Shengxiang’s question, froze for a moment, bewildered.

Xu Gong softly said, “All the way south, I did hear something, ‘Northwest has Xu Chu has Song, but unfortunately I have Xun in the Central Plains.'”

The first time I heard this statement Guo Dongfeng furious, “with this he does not know the military affairs of the ‘death of the feudal king’, also worthy of being called ‘the Central Plains have Xun’? That surnamed Xu at least blocked the iron hooves of the North Mang millions of troops, I Guo Dongfeng is still a little bit convinced, as for that brilliant Song Maolin is just as beautiful as a woman’s gesture famous, I Guo Dongfeng is more disdainful to compare with him, but this Zhao Xun is which onion and which garlic?!”

There are no soldiers near the city head where the three of them are standing, so Guo Dongfeng’s ranting and raving doesn’t matter.

Xu Gong smiled slightly, “What a ‘pity’.”

Lu Shengxiang said at almost the same time, “What a ‘I Central Plains’.”

The two famous contemporary generals, who had been divine friends for a long time meeting for the first time in the town, smiled at each other.

Not long, wearing a feudal king python robes of Jing’an Wang Zhao Xun from the Guangling River division to draw north, only with a standard horsemen came to this Wutong town, beside is that the gang of self-initiated out of the city to meet the eunuchs children of the capital, after meeting Zhao Xun gentle, courteous, the latter none of them do not feel that they hate to meet each other.

A large group of people pouring into the town in front of the gates, Zhao Xun saw the two people at the head of the city, quickly show a smiling face, on horseback fist salute, Xu Gong and Lu Shengxiang also each fist salute, Zhao Xun does not feel that the two Ministry of the army ministers of the origin of the generals of the Liyang how rude, but it is that the gang of young people will be young and in the city of Tai’an, some of the young people for the King of King of Jing’an, feel that the two people Lu Xu is now just The young men who were the leaders of Tai’an City when they were young were a little bit upset for King Jing’an, thinking that Lu Xu and the other two are now just “high ranking but light in power” characters, and shouldn’t be so pinched in their stature. But more let these people angry things appeared, above the street, there are three ride abruptly ran to, face them this almost everyone identity noble cavalry actually is not willing to avoid, if not Jing’an king Zhao Xun lead slightly give way, I’m afraid that the two sides of the narrow road to collide together, that trekking three riders in the center of the road straight out of the city, do not even look at all people.

When someone wants to be angry, soon someone whispered to remind, and then all the clouds.

It turns out that the western Sichuan three riders, is the car wild, Dian Xiong animal, Wei Fu Cheng.

Especially Dian Xiongzou and Wei Fu Cheng was the “four teeth of Northern Liang” outside the Northwest Pass, and then the two followed Chen Zhi Bao out of Liang into Shu without a single soldier, in the Liyang dynasty and field can be said to be as thunderous as the ear.

Xu Gong looked at the back of those three riders, his expression as usual. As a matter of fact, if not for the retreat of the 20,000-strong Shu army, the previous Northern Liang cavalry into the Guangling Road would never have been as overwhelming as it was. But because of this in the courtroom greatly lost the hearts of the Ministry of War Minister Lord, but this does not seem to harbor a grudge.

Lu Shengxiang glanced at Xu Gong without moving.

About a quarter of an hour later, three riders out of the city turned into four riders into the city.

The first rider was a man in white, carrying a long spear diagonally, with a handsome posture like a god.

Lu Shengxiang and Xu Gong coincidentally moved their feet, no longer standing in place to look down, walked down the city, the two stood near the inconspicuous city wall.

The four horsemen did not stop, but the man in white nodded slightly to the two men from his horse.

Guo Dongfeng’s eyes blazed as he murmured, “I should do the same in the future.”

The two court generals who did not feel that they were being neglected quietly looked at the four horsemen as they went away.

What’s more, at this time the small Wutong town are all over the river dragon, crowded, two sand field unfavorable official disillusionment of the minister to stay together, can be explained as a common sense of warmth, but if with the hands of the power of the border king of the intersection, it is really asking for trouble.

But for this person called Chen Zhi Bao, very early in the Spring and Autumn Lu Shengxiang or, in the Liyang military rising star Xu Gong also, there are a few heartfelt fascination and admiration.

Regardless of how high the civil ministers in the temple of Liyang later, how low the military generals, in the hearts of both of them, Chen Zhi Bao is the kind of sympathetic man of the wind, as a matter of fact, the sands of the iron and steel of the only dead, from the wind, but Chen Zhi Bao is undoubtedly the only one who can be described as the use of the military as God’s art of war after the death of Ye Baikui, so much so that the two emperors of the Liyang successive willing to consider it as a national bulwark, the late Emperor Zhao Dun is more The late emperor Zhao Dun is more than willing to Chen Zhi Bao become his Zhao room family backyard of the spring God Lake stone mountain, both can be pleasing to the eye, but also the bottom of the feng shui.

Xu Gong and Lu Shengxiang two people standing in the shadow of the city wall, Xu Gong whispered and laughed: “Xu Mou stole the thought that General Lu need not worry about a moment of gain or loss, General Lu’s wind up in the plug, not in Guangling, and even less in the capital city.”

Lu Shengxiang smiled and said nothing.

Xu Gong took the lead and left.

Guo Dongfeng was surprised to find that the main general Lu Shengxiang’s body had a vague murderous aura.

Guo Dongfeng looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Great General Phyo Yi and began to feel apprehensive.

Lu Shengxiang took a deep breath and laughed coldly, “Worthy of being Xu Longchamp, it seems that in the future, the first person to compete with me for the first place in the battle for the expansion of the border will be none other than you.”

Guo Dongfeng was confused, unprecedentedly holding back his curiosity, not daring to ask more.

Lu Shengxiang exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly walked forward.

He to see through their own plans Xu Gong, but only a little killing anger, to the matter of Cao Changqing even changed course has a monstrous anger.

In Lu Shengxiang’s opinion, if Cao Changqing followed the previous layout and used his troops, then Gu Jiantang would be the Xu Snapdragon of the new dynasty, and as long as he took the initiative to open the gateway when the Western Chu army swung northward, then he would be the Gu Jiantang of the new dynasty.

Regardless of the new dynasty surnamed Zhao or Jiang or any surname, Lu Shengxiang only know that the temple at that time, and no more Yang Kui’s stream lying in the book of merit, no more local Zhao clan king, and Xie Xijian Pei Sui and others after all, young, and have unfamiliar with the northern geographic situation of the inherent defects, the vast territory of the North Mang once become the place of military, it means that a lot of military success is within reach, rather than in the Guangling Road! In the war so snail shell do do field, more need to pay attention to the intertwined old forces, he Lu Shengxiang as long as the success of the dragon, will be able to jump in Gu Jiantang under one person, and may not not be able to rely on a series of future war in the North Mang later on the top. But Cao Changqing inexplicably self-destructed the official bureau, Lu Shengxiang in the Youlu Pass before and after the hundred and forty-four patience, became the best evidence of the future to be attacked for mediocrity of the use of military.

Lu Shengxiang’s face was gloomy, muttering to himself, “Cao Changqing, you deserve to die!”

Outside the town on the official road from far and near, dust flying, especially spectacular, not a thousand riders or more of the cavalry does not have such a sound.

A carriage, because of the bumpy road, the three men and women in the carriage are a little shoulder heaving, the young woman has a pretty face, tall and well-proportioned, obviously not a southerner, her waist hangs a longsword, heroic, and has the air of a ranger. The young man is hanging, at this time is full of fawning with the last person slipped, “Sir, you are not aware of the Tang River Li Chunyu that gang of white-eyed wolves how brutal, this son did not dare to come together to rebel out of the southern border of the Wu Chongxuan in front of the heel, really do not even dare to put a fart, stifled to the extreme ah, this time thanks to the Mr., I have the guts to go to the Wutong town to break into a breakthrough. ”

That character who was addressed as Mr., handsome and extraordinary, androgynous, what is the wind flow, he is the wind flow.

Nalan Righteousness.

He slanted his eyes and glanced at His Royal Highness Zhao Casting, the Prince of Yan Zhi Wang, “Wu Chongxuan is not a thing, the guy you borrowed a few thousand of his riders and didn’t return them is a good thing?”

Zhao Casting playfully said, “Sir is right, good scolding.”

Nalan Righteousness pointed his finger at this now infamous His Highness, but his eyes were looking at the woman surnamed Zhang, flirting, “Zhang Gaoxia, ah Zhang Gaoxia, you’re blind to look at this straw bag plus goon.”

Zhang Gaoxia, the daughter of the blue-eyed Zhang Julu, she laughed it off.

Zhao cast thick skin to thick, but by Nalan Yu Ci in the face of Zhang Gaoxia said straw bag goon, after all, still some sweat, lifted up the curtain of the car, poked out his head, can already see the low town head of Wutong Town, near is the South Border General Zhang Dingyuan and others, and Lin Crow Gong half Que two Wang Xianzhi high disciples.

Nalan Righteousness closed her eyes and placed her hands on her knees, gently patting them.

Zhao Zhuo retracted his head and asked curiously, ”Sir, why did you have to ask me to come to this town this time? To be honest, Wu Chongxuan I loathe and scorn, to Xu Gong Lu Shengxiang two people also not too much to see, Yuan Tingshan that crazy dog I even look at a glance is too dirty eyes, as for Jing’an Wang Zhao Xun well, I used to quite hate, now on the contrary, it’s okay.”

Nalan right Ci snorted: “of course, small Wutong town, so many heroes and heroines, count to count, you can only with this death of the feudal king wrist.”

Zhao Zhu was resentful.

The corner of Zhang Gaoxia’s mouth curled up.

Nalan Righteousness collected his laughter and said in a deep voice, “This time when I came here, I have four things to do, scold Wu Chongxuan, feast Xu Gong, meet Lu Shengxiang in secret, and test Chen Zhi Bao.”

Zhao Zhuo asked in a low voice, “Could it be that I am really a crow’s mouth, saying that Lu Shengxiang really has a wolf’s ambition?”

Nalan Righteousness shook his head, “It’s not good to be sure before we meet, as for after we meet, it doesn’t matter if Lu Shengxiang has a wolf’s ambition or not.”

Zhao Zhi sighed: “Well, anyway, these big events I can’t get involved in, so as not to add to the help, I have to bother Mr. can do more.”

Nalan Right Ci coldly and abruptly asked: “Zhao Zhui, I ask you one thing, if it is later you ascend to the throne as the emperor, assuming that the North Mang has been powerless to invade the Central Plains, and Xu Fengyen is still holding the Northwest soldiers, how do you deal with it?”

Zhao Casting was stunned, the words were about to come out of his mouth, the originally smiling Nalan Righteousness suddenly had cold eyes and lightly drank: “Zhao Casting! Think carefully first!”

After Zhao Casting was shocked, he raised a bright smile, “The brotherhood between the old Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang and Xiao Nian’s father is not the same as the brotherhood between Xiao Nian and me.”

Nalan Righteousness sneered, “Where are you sitting at this time?”

Zhao Cu didn’t know how to answer, can’t say I Zhao Cu of course sitting on the carriage, you Mr. Nalan didn’t knowingly ask.

Mr. Nalan Righteousness’ eyes were deep, he didn’t ask himself, but had another question, “Where are you sitting in other years? You when Zhao Li is the beginning of the Xu Snapdragon heart to kill? He wanted to kill Xu Snapdragon, his son Zhao Dun wanted to kill Zhang Gaoxia’s father, is it really their father and son’s intention? Isn’t it just a matter of being in the right place and seeking the right politics, and isn’t it the general trend that must be faced after sitting in that chair?”

Zhao Zhuo who had never thought about these questions blanched slightly and was painfully uneasy.

Nalan Yuci’s vision lowered, “Huang Sanjia unwillingly chose you Zhao Zhuo on his deathbed, and handed over all his accumulated spring and autumn family funds to me, Nalan Yuci, and now there is Jiang Axe Ding on Wu Chongxuan’s side, even though Wang Tongshan, that smarmy fool, died a bit earlier, but Wu Chongxuan, this kind of wallflower that falls with the wind is not worth mentioning, even if he is wary of Jiang Axe Ding, but I want to kill If you’re bored, why don’t you take a guess? If you’re bored, you might as well guess who among Tang He, Li Chunyu and the others is the dead center. Zhao cast, people do not have far-flung worries, the wind has risen, there are bound to be some people rocking up, there are bound to be some people high fall, you are already half of the destiny, in addition to the city of deep attempts to build up the momentum of Chen Zhi Bao, you actually have no rivals, so there are some things, you should have to think hard about it, Zhao Bing left you the family base, such as Zhang Dingyuan, Gu Eagle, Ye Xiufeng and Liang Yue, such as the gang of unwilling to lie down in a corner of the southern border, you should be able to think about it. A corner of the staff, you have to think about who is Wu Chongxuan’s people, who is the court, who follow you to stay in the Central Plains after the power, because of their own personal life hate will kill the northern ministers, who will take the opportunity to raise the temple north and south of the dispute? And who will be the Zhang Julu of your Zhao Casting? Of course, the more crucial thing is who is the one who wants you to kill Xu Fengyen in the future, or who is the one who wants you to kill me, Nalan Righteousness.”

Zhao Cu trembled and said, “Sir, Zhao Cu doesn’t know, I don’t know.”

Zhao Cu clasped his head with both hands, as if he didn’t dare to think deeply about those questions.

The grand plan of hegemony was the most taxing to think about.

Zhang Gaoxia’s eyes were sad and hesitated, she reached out and gently held his arm.

Nalan Righteousness was expressionless, his eyes complex, not knowing whether it was pity or ridicule.

His eyes instantly leveled out, and his tone urged, “I’ve long seen your dangling demeanor as unpleasant, how about it, you’ve suffered, haven’t you?”

Zhao Casting lifted his head and held Zhang Gaoxia’s hand tightly, at the same time, he looked towards this only remaining Spring and Autumn strategist after Li Yishan, Huang Longshi, Yuan Benxi and others died one after another, and looked at this Mr. Nalan, who was the behind-the-scenes Vassal King of the Southern Border.

Zhao Cu suddenly changed his sitting position to kneeling position, slowly bowed his head after facing Nalan Right Ci and said: “Zhao Cu knows that what you ask for is very different from any of the Spring and Autumn strategists, Zhao Cu only asks you to be my Yuan Benxi, Zhao Cu if you really have a day to sit in the dragon chair and wear the dragon robe, you can promise me that I will kill the person who dares to kill you.

If Zhao Casting died before Mr., when dying, will certainly ask Mr. choose ministers on my deathbed, handed over to Mr. appointed ministers. Zhao cast will not allow his descendants to be today’s son of heaven Zhao Zhuan!”

Nalan Yuanci laughed, but just never spoke again.

Zhao Zhui was covered with sweat, but as if relieved, with his intuition he found that Nalan Yu Ci to his own words, maybe not talk about how satisfied, also may not be what he really asked for, but this Mr. Nalan bias some unknown happy.

Nalan Yuanci closed his eyes and smiled lightly. He was completely oblivious to the embarrassment and heaviness of His Royal Highness Yan Zhi Wang.

Nalan Yu Ci suddenly said softly, “If you feel stuffy in the carriage, you guys can go out.”

Zhao Zhu was like being pardoned and hurriedly took Zhang Gaoxia, who had put on the backdrop hat, to get up and leave.

Yishan, when you and I heard Huang Longshi said that thousands of years later, many readers at that time, not to mention the face of emperors and generals to be able to calmly sit on an equal footing with, that is, in the face of the sesame seed size of the officials also want to lose their spine and backbone, parents parents, parents, the real thing is to see the official as a parent.

I laugh, you angry.

You to twenty years of years, teach your closed disciples to do heroes rather than heroes.

As a result, you died like that, and your ashes were spilled outside the Northwest Pass.

You laughed, but I was furious!

I can guess the selfishness of Huang Longshi.

He, Huang Sanjia, counts hearts. A ranger child made him lose once.

He felt he could even the score after his death.

He’s convinced that Zhao Casting will turn against Xu Fengyin.

Then I, Nalan Yueci, will let both you and Huang Longshi lose once!

Nalan Yueci opened his eyes and tilted his head up, looking at the top of the carriage.

He gently hummed a small hometown song.

There was a young boy, he went to the mountains, carrying a broken book case.

There is a little girl, she came from the mountains, carrying the fragrance of orchids.

Nalan Yueci lifted the curtain, the spring breeze brushed his face, he squinted his eyes and looked to the northeast, “Cao Changqing, you and I are both suffering, but you are still luckier than me.”

Nalan Yuci suddenly lowered the curtain, violently reached out to cover his mouth, after spreading his palms, he looked down at his hands full of blood, he muttered, “All helpless are young men.”

Outside the southern gate of Liyang Capital City, on top of the wide official road that was connected to the imperial road in the city, it was already empty two hours ago.

The city was full of people waiting for one person.

Waiting for one person to attack the city.

Iron armor on the top and bottom of the city.

On this day, all the four elite troops of the capital city, east, west, south, north and south, were all lined up here, facing the green clothes, still as if they were facing a great enemy.

There was a slowly walking green-shirted Confucian scholar, on the official road less than half a mile away from the capital, alone, holding a chess box, stopped and sat down.

He did not face the north of the world’s largest city, but face west and back east, sitting cross-legged.

The black box contained the white discs and the white box contained the black discs.

He placed these two boxes of old palace artifacts rummaged out from the Western Chu Chess Waiting Decree in front of him, separated by the distance of a chessboard, and the boxes were both open.

Thinking back to that year, the state master Li Mi once had a drunken boast: “There is a stone wind flow in the world, I, Da Chu, solely occupy eight buckets, and he, Cao Deyi, solely occupy another eight points!”

How can such a character not be a man of honor?

He was sitting upright, his fingers together, stretching to the chess box in front of him, twisting the seeds but not starting, he just smiled and looked across the table, as if someone was talking to him about the game.

The gray sideburns of the green shirt Confucian, eyes gentle, softly said: “You first black.”

Originally cloudless clear sky, instantly winds and clouds.

The sky above Tai’an City was filled with strange phenomena.

As those five words came out of the Confucian scholar’s mouth, a black disc jumped out of the snow-white chess box a little far away on its own, creating an ethereal trajectory that gently landed in the center of the invisible chessboard.

First hand Tian Yuan.

A very irrational starting move.

But an even more unreasonable sight was to see a splendid pillar of light fall from the heights of Tai’an City, crashing to the ground.

A majestic city was like an earthquake that hadn’t happened in a hundred years.

Heaven and earth shook!

Above the eaves of all the halls and pavilions, including the Wuying Hall of Tai’an City, countless tiles were immediately lifted up.

The green-shirted Confucian scholar picked up the crystal clear white chess piece with his fingers, his eyes full of smiles, and gently landed on the chess board.

At the same time, the second pillar of light arrived as promised.

Tai’an City shook again.

Tens of thousands of iron armor in front of the city away from the sun, surprisingly, it was still that one person who was in the city who attacked the city first.

All the bed crossbows at the top of the city finally launched a round of unison fire.

In the air, there is a thunderous sound like wind and thunder.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was completely blind to it.

The second black stone jumped out of the chess box and landed on the chess board, after landing and taking root, it was quiet and hovered still.

Inside the city, the eaves of Wuying Hall on the forked ridge of the ten full town tile decorations, immortals, dragons and phoenixes, mythical beasts, apodidae, haetae, bullfighting and so on in turn into pieces.

Outside the city, nearly a hundred huge arrows as majestic as the flying swords of the Sword Immortals shattered in the air with a bang.

The green-shirted Confucian scholar picked up the second white stone, and said in a soft voice before dropping the stone: “I hate that I was too late to become a Confucian saint. I hate that it was too late to turn into the Hegemony.”

He brought his fingers together and fell heavily, landing on the chessboard.

There was a clanging sound.

A fourth tremor appeared in Tai’an City.

This time, the movement was the most violent.

The warhorses that became the crotches of many of the cavalrymen outside the city actually broke all four of their legs and knelt on the ground on the spot.

Above the lofty city, there were finally several people who could not hold back, or imperial swords and descended from the city, or leapt to pounce and kill, or swept long and hard.

Another pair of black and white seeds successively landed on the chessboard.

The green shirt seemed to be afraid to see the opposite “chess player”, looked down at the chessboard, “I Cao Changqing’s style, for you to see, Fang is style.”

When the fourth white stone jumped out of the chess box and slowly fell, the number of people who came out of the city was already less than thirty paces away from Cao Changqing.

Cao Changqing picked up the pieces, and this time, instead of dropping them from high to low, he lightly wiped them across the board, slightly tilting them to land on the board.

There was a vast amount of qi that went across.

The several martial arts masters escorting the capital all flew out swiftly and backwards as if they were hit, directly smashing into the walls of Tai’an City.

In the spring breeze of the third year of Xiang Fu.

Western Chu Chess Waiting for Royal Decree, landed in Tai’an City.
