As soon as I entered the pass, I suddenly saw that among the woods and mountains in front of me, there were countless flags of Liuhetang fluttering, and it seemed that the situation was no less than fifty or sixty thousand horses. Lian Qiying was surprised: "Why did you transfer so many brothers in one day and one night? A hall master said: "Chief hall master, this is Mr. Zhuge Rong's arrangement, the officers and soldiers have been suppressed, plus we have hostages in our hands, and the Jurchens have retreated outside the gate, and the gate is afraid of being attacked from inside and outside, so I obediently switch and release people, in fact, there are only a few thousand brothers here." ”

At this time, more than 100 people ushered in the front, led by Cao Zhuxuan, everyone was free to greet each other immediately, Cao Zhuxuan then said: "Please ask the head hall master and Mr. Sun to lead the people to withdraw quickly, Mr. Zhuge is leading people to monitor the officers and soldiers of the border camp, and Mr. Zhuge Rong is broken, and there is no mistake." Sun Qi turned around and said to Fang Guolian: "With Mr. Zhuge Rong cooking here, we don't have to worry about it anymore." As he spoke, his expression relaxed.

At this time, dozens of large trailer carriages were parked on the side of the road in front, and Cao Zhuxuan asked someone to help the seriously injured to lie down, and then the team of people and horses hurriedly withdrew to Qijiabao. It was getting late, and the heroes were still hurrying away, and there were people answering them along the way, offering food and drink, and everyone was just walking and using them on the road. When he arrived at the Guannei, it was the world of Liuhetang, but Lian Qiying did not dare to relax, and he was vigilant along the way.

When the sky was dark, they finally arrived at Qijiabao, and the people and horses settled down. Zhuge Rong then sent someone to report the situation, and after the brigade entered the customs and evacuated Dushikou, the officers and soldiers did not move, and Zhuge Rong also released Zhang Weicheng's wife and children. From time to time, there were also probes reporting the movements of officers and soldiers in nearby states and counties, and Liuhetang was obviously on guard in all aspects. Fang Guohuan was careful about Zhuge Rong, arranged it properly, and his ability was no less than Sun Qi, so he couldn't help but secretly say that he was different.

In the first battle of Tianyuan, Fang Guo's large array was properly commanded, and he overcame a strong enemy, forcing 200,000 Jurchen iron cavalry to retreat in defeat, so that Liuhetang and the main force of the Kanto heroes escaped from danger. Lu Zhufeng's invincibility amazed the heroes and was regarded as the first hero in the Liuhe Hall. Bu Yuan rescued Tianyuan's danger, Gu Sichen and Luo Kun, the apprentices of the Medicine King, were in charge of the Tianlong Array, the heroes were obvious to all, and they were all convinced, Han Mengchao had already woken up at this time, and there was no big problem. However, the bow was injured by an arrow for a long time, and after his family insisted on Qijiabao, his life was in danger, and even if the medicine king was on his side, he was unable to return to the sky. When Gong Chang was dying, he took Luo Kun and Gong Ying'er's hands, and entrusted Lian Qiying with a big deal, and then passed away with a smile, Gong Ying'er caressed the corpse and cried, and the heroes were all compassionate.

In addition to the grief of Lian Qiying, she obeyed the entrustment of Gong Chang when he was dying, and announced on the spot, and after burying Gong for a long time, he chose an auspicious day to arrange for Luo Kun and Gong Ying'er to marry, and then took over the post of the left envoy of Gong Chang Liuhe Hall, commanding the people of Kanto Yuan, and making Du Jian and other Kanto heroes grateful. Luo Kun and Gong Ying'er then stepped forward to thank Lian Qiying, and Fang Guohuan and Gu Sichen secretly praised Lian Qiying's move.

In the evening of this day, Zhuge Rong led the team back, this person was dressed as a Confucian scholar, with the style of an elder, Fang Guolian saw it, sighed in his heart, and under the introduction of Lian Qiying, he and Zhuge Rong greeted each other. Zhuge Rong saw that Fang Guolian, who rescued the heroes from danger in the Dabu Tianyuan Chess Array, turned out to be a young man, and in addition to being surprised, his words were extremely affectionate and respectful. Zhuge Rong then informed Lian Qiying and others that Liuhetang was outside the Dushikou Pass, and with the Tianyuan chess array set up by Fang Guolian, he retreated 200,000 Jurchen iron horsemen, which has now spread all over the world, and Liuhetang is even more famous. Fang Guochuan didn't know at this time that his name had been broadcast to the world with the Tianyuan War.

The people of Liuhetang rested in Qijiabao for a few days, and news came from time to time. After the people of Liuhetang retreated from the enemy and entered the pass, Zhang Weicheng, the guard of the Dushikou Border, ordered people to clean up the battlefield of the Tianyuan Chess Array, and buried the bodies of the heroes who died in the Liuhetang and the Kanto heroes, and also set up a stone stele, perhaps because of his own conscience or other reasons, in short, there is a sense of atonement. When Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and others heard the news, they shook their heads and sighed bitterly, full of emotion. Due to the hasty retreat at that time, there was no time to bury the bodies of the fallen heroes, and everyone was also a little grateful to Zhang Weicheng at this time.

In the battle of Tianyuan outside Dushikou Pass, Liuhetang also suffered heavy losses, and Lian Qiying ordered Cao Zhuxuan and Liu Yunhe to fight against the families of the deceased heroes, and in the future, the free Liuhetang arranged maintenance, and the matter was handed over to the two of them. The vacancies left by the hall master and the incense master who died in battle, even Qiying rewarded meritorious deeds and promoted meritorious people to serve, Lu Zhufeng and Bu Yuan made great contributions, and they were promoted to the position of hall master. Lian Qiying carried out a series of post-event arrangements, and was impressed.

On this day, an astonishing news suddenly came, Zhang Weicheng, the border guard of Dushikou, was beheaded by the emperor's decree and sentenced to behead the public, accused of refusing to obstruct the heroes of Liuhetang outside the pass, and losing the post of the border general to protect the people in peace, and violating the wishes of the people. In the battle of Dushikou, the government and the opposition were shocked, and they accused Zhang Weicheng of abandoning the life and death of the people of the Ming Dynasty, which chilled the hearts of the people of the world, so that he was beheaded by capital torture. Even Qiying, Sun Qi and a few other people who understood the reason were stunned when they heard it, and Zhuge Rong believed that Emperor Wanli killed Zhang Weicheng for two reasons, one was to do things unfavorably, and the other was to destroy his truth. Lian Qiying and Sun Qiwen's chin were particularly surprised by the speed of change in this matter.

Zhuge Rong then suggested that Lian Qiying that since Qijiabao was not too far from the capital, it was very unfavorable for the people of Liuhetang to be stationed here, so in order to avoid other changes, they should evacuate as soon as possible. Lian Qiying thought it was reasonable, and then dismissed the people and horses to return to the main hall, and warned all the halls that in the future, the Liuhe Hall should be cautious and not overly publicized. At the same time, the Kanto people were dispersed and evacuated with each church, and they stayed in the south where Liuhetang was strong, and then resettled.

Lian Qiying also ordered the masters of each branch hall to withdraw to the Heming Villa on the bank of the Yellow River in batches, hold a ceremony for the heroes of the Kanto region to join the Liuhe Hall, and negotiate other matters. In this way, the Liuhetang brigade stationed in Qijiabao was all dispersed within two days. Lian Qiying then and Fang Guolian, Sun Qi, Zhuge Rong, Lu Zhufeng, Bu Yuan, Gu Sichen, Luo Kun, Gong Ying'er, Du Jian and dozens of other people, disguised themselves, protected the hearse of the bow for a long time, left Qijiabao overnight, avoided the imperial road, and went to the bank of the Yellow River.

Along the way, there were rumors that Liuhetang was beating the Jurchen army outside the Dushikou Pass, and when the heroes heard it, they were mixed with joy and sorrow, and Liuhetang was more powerful in the world, and Liuhetang also paid a great price for it. Along the way, there was nothing to do, Tanma reported from time to time, and all batches of hall masters had arrived at Heming Villa safely, and even Qiying was overjoyed when he heard it, and ordered the people to speed up the trip.

When he arrived at Heming Villa, he met with the masters of each branch hall, and Lian Qiying ordered people to set up a mourning hall in the villa to pay tribute to the fallen heroes, and invited monks to do three days of ritual to surpass the dead. Lian Qiying, Sun Qi, and Zhuge Rong led the hall masters to personally guard the spirits, looking at the rows of spiritual positions, everyone was sad. Then Lian Qiying ordered Cao Zhuxuan and Liu Yunhe to preside over all aftermath matters. The coffin of the bow for a long time was buried on the bank of the Yellow River, Gong Ying'er cried arrogantly again, and Luo Kun also performed the gift of Weng's son-in-law, and led Du Jian and others to worship. Lian Qiying personally led the people of Liuhetang to worship in front of the tomb of Gong Chang, and swore an oath that Liuhetang and the heroes of Kanto have been a family since then, working together to create a great cause of the rivers and lakes.

Then the people from inside and outside the Guanxi held a joining ceremony in Heming Villa, and the medicine king Gu Sichen and Sun Qi presided over the ceremony. Lian Qiying was entrusted by Gong Chang on his deathbed to appoint Luo Kun as the left envoy of Liuhetang at the joining ceremony, in addition to the original Kanto people and horses of Santang, and Sun Qi's right envoy to assist the head of the hall in handling the affairs of the Liuhe Hall. also set an auspicious day for Luo Kun and Gong Ying'er to complete their marriage, in order to comfort the spirit of Gong in the sky for a long time. These two happy events blew away the shadows and unhappiness that everyone had shrouded in their hearts due to the battle of Tianyuan outside the Guan, and the entire Heming Villa was full of festive atmosphere.

After Lian Qiying announced a series of decisions, he pushed Fang Guolian to sit in the first place, and led the masters of Liuhetang to pay a salute of thanks, thanking Fang Guolian for setting up the Tianyuan chess array at the time of Liuhetang's life and death, creating a fabulous miracle outside the chess, and saving Liuhetang from several catastrophes.

Seeing that Lian Qiying and the others were going to give a big gift, Fang Guohuan hurriedly got up and said, "I can't help it, Sister Lian and the hall masters must not be like this, Fang Guohuan can't afford to be worshipped." Lian Qiying said: "Brother Guozhuo, don't shirk, you deserve such a big gift." Fang Guohuan still had to push back, and Gu Sichen, the medicine king who presided over the ceremonial ceremony, was entrusted by Lian Qiying, Sun Qi, and Luo Kun in advance, and hurriedly stepped forward to say to Fang Guolian: "Fang Gongzi don't want to push, this time the heroes and heroes inside and outside the customs can successfully meet the alliance here, it can be said that Gongzi has been promoted by Gongzi alone from beginning to end." Especially in the battle of Tianyuan outside the Guan, the disaster of Liuhetang was rescued, this grace is incomparable, even the head hall master and the hall masters are just thankful, the son should suffer, this is human favor, but also righteousness, not against everyone's wishes. ”

Zhuge Rong also said to himself: "Fang Gongzi's great kindness to Liuhetang, Liuhetang can't repay it, but thank you with courtesy, if Gongzi doesn't accept it, we will be uneasy in our hearts." The other hall masters also begged Fang Guolian to accept their heartfelt thanks. Fang Guohuan was so enthusiastic that he had no choice but to sit in the right seat, and he unnaturally received three bows from Lian Qiying and other hall masters of Liuhe Hall. After the ceremony, everyone rejoiced and sat down.

Fang Guochuan shook his head at this time and sighed: "Even my sister should be like this, the battle of Tianyuan outside the Guan, I am really scared when I think about it at this time, if there is no cooperation of Mr. Sun Qi's military formation, and the brave fighting of all the heroes, I will arrange the chess formation no matter how clever it is, and I will talk about it on paper, to no avail. When the hall masters heard this, they were all impressed, and their respect increased.

Sun Qi said with emotion: "At that time, things changed abruptly, more than 10,000 people were in a very dangerous place, and there was no countermeasure to find for a while. The success of this battle is not a fluke, but a master's chess realm, and he has a very high cultivation of chess to respond to the world. It seems that the magic of chess is not confined to the table. Sun Qi's words made everyone nod their heads, and they were all surprised that Fang Guohuan was so high.

Zhuge Rong said at this time: "Now we have repelled the Jurchen 200,000 iron cavalry with a Tianyuan chess array of less than 10,000 people, which not only shocked the prestige of my Liuhe Hall, but more importantly, Nurhachi suffered a great loss of vitality after this battle, and the Jurchen tribes were deterred, and in a short period of time, they did not dare to have the ambition of winning the Central Plains." Fang Gongzi's exploits are not only in Liuhetang, but in a sense, but also in the Ming Dynasty. When the heroes heard this, they nodded their heads in goodness.

Fang Guolian shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhuge is serious, he is only a chess skill, in addition, Wen can't be safe, Wu can't set the country, where can he give birth to such an ability to help Jiangshan Sheji." Outside the Dushikou Pass, in the crisis, the cloth is in a heavenly chess array to resist the enemy, but it is a last resort, if you do it again, you will not dare to die in the next day. The crowd laughed.

Zhuge Rong said at this time: "Actually, this Tianyuan battle is enough to prove that Fang Gongzi has the ability to determine the world with chess, as Mr. Sun Qi said, Gongzi's chess path has reached the realm of transformation, which can be described as a god, and he should be an invincible opponent on the chessboard." Since the son has a very high cultivation of chess for the world, he should use chess to help the world and do a great career. ”

Fang Guolian shook his head and sighed: "The great virtue of the chess master is to play chess in the world and help the world with chess, the kind of ability to determine the world with chess, naturally there is no such thing as chess, but in addition to the fun of the game, he is also very willing to do something beneficial to the world in chess." Although it is said that the world is like chess, it is really difficult to understand the world on the chessboard when playing the speculation of the world, and it is difficult to help the world with chess. Obviously, Fang Guohuan remembered the murder of the national eunuch Li Wusan with chess, so he sighed.

When everyone saw Fang Guolian's words, their expressions changed, and they were surprised. Lian Qiying smiled at this time: "Anyway, Brother Guolian has created a miracle outside the chessboard, we don't understand what is going on in chess, what is the mystery in it, and only a chess master like Brother Guojian can understand it." Since the world is like chess, then chess is the same as things in the world, and you should not take some things too seriously, so as not to worry about your own brains. Fang Guolian heard this and smiled gratefully.
