CHAPTER XIII
"Are you sure?" asked Li Pei again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He looked at her with a concerned gaze, and his tone could be considered gentle.
Jiang Yuetang has not yet begun to get in touch with chess, strategy and the art of war, so she has no confidence at all in this promotion match, but she knows that she must not show this anxiety and panic in front of him, so she replied calmly: "Yes." ”
As soon as the cow blew out, even she herself was ashamed of herself.
After listening to her answer, Imakami nodded with a smile, and then continued to talk to Jiang Chuanxiong and Guo Yifan.
Jiang Yuetang breathed a sigh of relief, pricked up her ears and listened to them quietly.
"Next year is the 17th Territorial Competition, Jiang Aiqing, your chess skills, Tao Strategy and Sima Aiqing's art of war are all the best among the Chinese people, so the two of you will definitely have to go, and there is another candidate I will wait for this year's '69 Competition' to make a decision." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love and trust, and the minister will do his best to live up to his mission." ”
The Territorial Contest is a triennial strategic contest between countries, which is referred to as the "Territorial Contest" because its main purpose is to compete for territory, and because it is scheduled to be held on September 5, it is also called the "Ninth Five-Year Contest."
After 50 years of inheritance, next year will be the turn of the 17th edition.
"Last time, we lost to Akebonoke, and this time, we have to win. Looking at Jiang Chuanxiong today, his tone was very firm and resolute.
The words "must win" entered Jiang Chuanxiong's ears, which immediately made Jiang Chuanxiong a little flustered.
Of course, he wanted his country to win, and if he could, he would even risk his own life, but he had a fierce opponent last time.
At present, among the five countries of the Central Plains, the country with the most cities is the Ye State, with a total of 50 cities. The second is the Zhao Kingdom, which is now under the control of Li Pei, with a total of forty-eight cities. No. 3 is the province of Akebono. It stands to reason that the most important thing for Zhao to guard against is the Ye State, but in the past six or seven years, the Ye State has lost two consecutive terms, so Jiang Chuanxiong listed the Ye State Strategists as the second strong enemy. On the side of Shuguo, the second prince of Shuguo participated in the last event and won Jiang Chuanxiong, who is known as the 'God of Seeking'.
At that time, the second prince of Akeno was only eleven years old.
Xuan's father is especially afraid of the next generation, and her husband is not young. 1
Jiang Chuanxiong was really impressed by him.
Obviously, the second prince of Shu has jumped to become Jiang Chuanxiong's first rival.
In the five countries of the Central Plains, in addition to the strategists, there are also princes, princes and princes of various countries who are eligible to participate in the territorial competition, and the latter three identities do not need to be selected through the strategist qualifiers, but they must have the same or even stronger abilities as the strongest strategists in the country to participate.
Since that defeat, Jiang Chuanxiong has not been so confident in his next victory.
Of course, after all, he has been through a lot of battles and will not be discouraged because of one or two defeats, so he has been actively preparing.
However, Li Pei was still keenly aware of Jiang Chuanxiong's psychological changes, and said, "Doesn't Jiang Aiqing have confidence?"
Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly said: "Of course, there is confidence, but the psychological pressure this time is greater than any time before. ”
Li Pei stared at Jiang Chuanxiong and asked, "What do you say?"
"In the last session, the minister lost to the second prince of Shuguo, so next year's strategy is more stressful than the minister. Jiang Chuanxiong said truthfully.
Li Pei closed his eyes and asked, "Who did the second prince of Shuguo study from?"
Generally speaking, it is not a secret who the teachers of the princes of various countries are, so it is not difficult to inquire as long as people from other countries want to know.
"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that in addition to being taught by five teachers, Zhang Yunfeng, Liao Bai, Luo Junjie, Gao Xing and Zhou Yiwang, he also accepted a more powerful teacher to teach behind the scenes. ”
Zhang Yunfeng, Liao Bai, Luo Junjie, Gao Xing and Zhou Yiwang are famous thinkers in the Central Plains, so as soon as Jiang Chuanxiong said Li Pei, he immediately understood what a high-end education the second prince of Shuguo received, however, he also had a more powerful teacher behind the scenes......
"Behind the scenes?" Li Pei frowned.
"Yes, it is said that the second prince of Akenoshi would leave the palace every once in a while to be taught by the mysterious man, but it is unknown where he was taught. Jiang Chuanxiong replied respectfully.
Li Pei's eyes were half-squinted and lost in thought.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has won all battles, and now that the opponent has such a mysterious person teaching, Li Peike can't help but think of ways to improve the ability of his country's strategists.
And Jiang Yuetang, who has been listening from the sidelines, can't help but secretly sweat for his father's big competition next year.
At the same time, she also secretly admired the second prince of Shuguo, a young man who was only eleven years old, was able to defeat a person like Jiang Chuanxiong, who had been in a hundred battles, how strong his ability should be!
Then, she began to worry about Zhaoguo again.
If it is defeated by Akeno next year, then the territory of Akenoshi will be as much as Zhaoguo......
She didn't dare to think about it any longer.
Li Pei opened his eyes after pondering for a while and said, "Even if this is the case, we also have to accelerate the improvement of combat effectiveness. ”
Jiang Chuanxiong immediately responded: "Yes, if we can get the guidance of the great wisdom, it will be the greatest honor for Weichen." ”
We must continue to make progress in order to remain invincible.
Li Pei then sent twenty men to his own country and the other four countries to search for the Great Wise Man.
Since the five countries of the Central Plains unanimously agreed to fight for territory by strategic comparison fifty years ago, the people between the five countries are no longer as much more restricted in terms of contacts than before, so as long as their identity and purpose can pass the examination of the country they are going to, they can be passed.
However, the purpose of 'collecting the great wise men' cannot be written explicitly, otherwise it will be rejected.
Therefore, the people who were sent by Li Pei to carry out this task were all people who were often sent abroad by Zhao Guo to do business, and they had their own set of methods to deal with the audit.
After the matter was properly arranged, Li Pei said to Jiang Chuanxiong: "Jiang Aiqing should go all out to deal with the '69 Match' first, and then prepare for next year's big competition after the '69 Match'." ”
No matter how urgent you are, you have to come one by one, otherwise it will be messed up.
Jiang Chuanxiong was very grateful to Li Pei for his understanding, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Now that the things that should be said have been said, Li Pei asked them to step down.
Jiang Chuanxiong took Jiang Yuetang's hand and walked towards the noon gate step by step, his mood was heavy, so his steps were also heavy.
"Daddy, don't worry too much, maybe the second prince of Shuguo won't play as well as you next year?" Jiang Yuetang comforted.
Jiang Chuanxiong touched her head with a smile and said, "I hope so." ”
By the time they got into the carriage, the sun had set in the west.
Horse-drawn carriages walk through the bustling streets of the capital.
Jiang Chuanxiong lifted half of the curtain and let Jiang Yuetang look at the scenery outside.
She is going to come out to do big things in the future, and he hopes that she will see more of the world from now on.
When they passed a stall selling pancakes, the carriage stopped, Jiang Chuanxiong took out a few pennies from his pocket and said to the middle-aged man who sold pancakes: "Two pancakes, add char siu and eggs." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly responded: "Okay." And he said, "It seems that you are going to the office later than usual." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong smiled and didn't say much.
When the carriage started again, Jiang Chuanxiong handed a pancake to Jiang Yuetang and said, "His things are very clean, you can eat them with confidence." ”
Jiang Yuetang had already swallowed saliva when he looked at the man's pancakes, so he immediately picked it up and ate it in a big gulp.
Jiang Chuanxiong smiled and handed her the kettle again and let her drink a few sips of water.
"This middle-aged uncle came from a remote village and has been selling pancakes here for more than two years. He said that the environment in the capital is very good, and he likes it very much. He, like many of the street vendors, hopes to integrate himself into the city as soon as possible. But they are not impetuous, they are not impetuous, they are not impetuous, they are not impetuous to do earth-shattering things, and they do not have the idea of once and for all, they are just struggling in the present......"
Jiang Yuetang listened quietly, and admiration rose in her heart.
These working people still have dreams in their hearts and are actively struggling, let alone after her name? She was suddenly full of energy.
