Chapter 1, with Kyushu as a chessboard
In the twenty-eighth year of King Lihe, June, Ji Xia, Xiao Xia.
The Song Kingdom moved its capital to Luoyi, and Song Xiao invited the princes of the world to meet in Luoyi in Liqiu to celebrate the joy of moving the capital.
How many princes are there in the world?
In the northernmost Jizhou, the seven kingdoms of Wei, Chen, Liang, Tang, Tang, Wei, and Fu formed the Seven Nations Alliance, which was based on Bai Di and Chidi in the north, and the Husai Iron Cavalry in the west, the Song Guoxiong Division in the south, and the Qi army in the east. Qin Huai once again wore the seal of the Seven Kingdoms.
The northernmost part of Jizhou is the Yan State, and Yan's son Yanqing succeeded to the throne.
In addition to Dali, Yanzhou is Zhongshan, and the entire land of Yanzhou is sandwiched between the Song and Shandong countries.
In the easternmost Qingzhou, King Lu Xiaobai swept through the surrounding small countries and Laiyi, bypassing Yanzhou and extending his hand to Jizhou. Today's passing places span Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Jizhou, which should not be underestimated.
Naturally, there is only one Song State left in Yuzhou. Song Xiao likes integers, so the Song State occupies the Song Kingdom of the Central Plains, which is thousands of miles of fertile land and hundreds of rich cities; Song Xiao likes integers, so after cutting twenty cities to pay the lottery money to Dali, he conquered Jizhou again and took twenty cities; Song Xiao likes integers, so Song Guoxiong has a million people, and there are exactly 100 generals; Song Xiao likes whole numbers, so the Song State still maintains a million troops in successive years, and after the old Song hundred generals died seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and eight, he will entitle the new hundred generals.
Xu and Yang are naturally Wu Yue, a pair of brothers who love and kill each other, and the war between the two countries has never stopped, and there is no need for a teacher to be famous, and the grudge is too deep.
Yongzhou, from Qimu to Bai'e to Wei Ling and then to Wei Xiu, after three generations, three generations of three martial saints, the Husé iron cavalry has stepped on Yongzhou, that is, Xiqiang and Dog Rong also surrendered to the iron cavalry of the Houthi king Weixiu. There are 300,000 Houthi horsemen, accounting for half of the world. Chariot warfare and foot combat prevailed in the era of hegemon, and cavalry became a weapon in turbulent times. Although the Houthi soil is difficult to grow, it has a unique advantage in animal husbandry.
Jingzhou is naturally the state of Chu, in terms of territory, the state of Chu is thousands of miles wide and far better than the Song state; In terms of population, the two million households of Chu are no less than those of the Song Kingdom; In terms of national strength, it is not much better than that of the Song State; In terms of troops, Song has a million male divisions, and Chu has 800,000 male soldiers; In terms of talents, Song has Zou Gu and Shi Hui, and Chu has Muer and Miao Sheng, which are not weaker than Song Guo.
There are now only two countries in Liangzhou, one is the Ba State that merged with the Qi State, and the other is the Shu State. More than 100 years ago, Liangzhou was the two countries of Bashu, and it is still today; More than 100 years ago, there was a war between Bashu and Shu, and it is still today; More than 100 years ago, Bashu was close to Dali, but now it is unknown.
The world is a game with Kyushu as the chess piece and Li Min as the chess piece, and the name of others is the gamer, such as the princes of the Son of Heaven, such as the hundred schools of thought, such as the martial arts knights.
Yingdu is a small chessboard, Jiang Jue entered the game in a hurry, it is good to be able to play calmly, although it has now become an insignificant chess piece in Xiong Ran's hand, but it is good that Yingdu nobles and all the people know this young man.
Jiang Jue was wandering aimlessly in Yingdu, and Xiong Ran didn't pay too much attention to him anymore, and didn't even let him perform his duties, just let Feng Su leave Jiang Mansion.
It is Jiangfu not Jianghou Mansion, after Jiang Wangshu left, Xiong Ran asked the craftsman to deduct the word "Hou", and the word "Jiang" was abruptly placed in the most conspicuous position in the royal city, which was more magnificent than the general's mansion where Zhai Zhuang lived, and more magnificent than the national teacher's mansion where Muer lived, not to mention Miao Sheng's dilapidated mansion.
Of course, Jiang Jue is not alone, Miao Miao is naturally by her side, after all, she is Jiang Jue's woman. In addition to Miao Miao, Shi and Zhao Miao, these two people who Xiong Ran identified as assassins have now become Jiang Jue's guards, and they are naturally inseparable.
Jiang Jue walked and walked to the ruins of the Shen family, on the ruins of the Shen family, there was an endless stream of carpenters and bricklayers, and the new mansion had been completed for the most part, and it was more magnificent than before.
Shen Bu saw Jiang Jue coming over to say hello with a body of fat, he took his belly with difficulty and said, "Thank you Gongzi for your help." ”
Shen Bu said that Jiang Jue came forward to intercede with the King of Chu and let Gu Yu go, but Jiang Jue did not know the whereabouts of the Lu family. Jiang Jue waved his hand and said, "I also met Gu Yu, and it is within my duty to save her." ”
"Shen Dahu." Jiang Jue shouted.
Shen Bu hurriedly made a gesture of listening, but Jiang Jue did not follow.
"What do you command?" Shen Bu asked.
"It's okay, just shout casually," Jiang Jue said, "You go and get busy." ”
There are some things, it's better not to tell Shen Bu, it's good for everyone. Jiang Jue walked slowly with Miao Miao in his arms, and along the way, some nobles greeted him, whether they recognized him or not, they all returned the courtesy.
Yingdu, the royal palace.
"What is Jiang Jue doing all day?" Xiong Ran asked.
Feng Su replied: "Commander Jiang has been wandering around all day. ”
"Let him be," Xiong Ran said, "it's not bad for this mouthful of food, and there will always be a time when it will be useful." ”
Zou Gu and Muse have already left, after all, in another month, it will be the time when the Song State will hold the Luoyi Alliance, and both of them are Song State Zhuchen, so they can't be missing.
The purpose of Zou Gu's trip was neither to discuss with Muer, nor for Song Xiao to miss his daughter, nor to save Jiang Jue, nor to come to Yingdu to argue with Meng Lan, the purpose of his visit was to find Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, and no one else knew what the two said.
"Master Mu, have you heard about Yujue?" Xiong Ran asked.
Mu Er pondered for a moment and replied, "But when Jiang Jue was sacrificing wine, that ugly jade jue?" ”
Xiong Ran nodded and said: "Zou Gu and Meng Lan made a special trip to argue about the matter of Yu Jue, and there were even a lot of people involved," Xiong Ran said, "Gu didn't care much about it before, but then I thought about it, Meng Lan sent someone to Luoyi to steal jade, and Zou Gu designed people to steal jade from Li Du, I'm afraid that Yu Jue is not the same piece, and I'm afraid that Yu Jue has a lot to do with it." ”
"So the king specially left Jiang Jue behind?" Mul asked.
Xiong Ran nodded and said, "Maybe Jiang Jue is really an ugly descendant?" Otherwise, why did Meng Lan come all the way just to save him? Back then, Meng Lansan's entry into the Luoyi School Palace was not for the morality of the world, not for the world's first saint, nor for the sake of the palace, just to save Jiang Jue, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
Muer said: "The king is saying that this jade jue is related to the fortune of the country? ”
Xiong Ran waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, prepare a congratulatory gift, and I want to go to celebrate my father-in-law in person." ”
Yingdu, Miao Sheng's mansion.
Miao Miao wanted to come to see her grandfather, and Jiang Jue naturally agreed. Miao Sheng refused to move to Jiangfu to live with the two, and Xiong Ran personally sent servants and maidservants to take care of Miao Sheng's food, clothing, and daily life, so the matter was stopped. Fortunately, Jiang Mansion and Miao Sheng's Mansion are not far apart, and Miao Miao is worried that the food cooked by the maidservant girl is not to her grandfather's taste, so she asks the stone to send three meals a day.
There are a total of four people in the Jiang Mansion, and Jiang Jue, the commander of the Yingdu Guard, who has not performed his duties so far, is the son-in-law Miao, and there are Shi and Zhao Miao. As for those maids and servants, Jiang Jue was driven away, he never liked to be served, and he also liked to be clean, so the huge Jiang Mansion was cold and clear.
Miao Miao and Miao Sheng were chatting, and Miao Sheng smiled: "I don't know if grandpa can still hold his great-grandson." ”
Miao Miao's face blushed with shame, and the whole person was like a newly picked cherry in March soaked in water, and it was crystal red.
Shi and Zhao Miao were guarding the door, and Jiang Jue asked boredly, "Are you really staying in Yingdu?" ”
Zhao Miao shook her head and said, "Otherwise, where are you going?" ”
"Go back to the mountains." Jiang Jue said.
"The master said that the two of me will protect the son, and the two of us will be there wherever the son is." Zhao Miao said.
"It's up to you," Jiang Jue suddenly had doubts, and he asked, "How did you survive?" I mean the king of Chu didn't kill you? ”
Jiang Jue was a little worried about whether someone told Xiong Ran about the identity of himself and Xuanlang, otherwise why would the two of them be safe and sound? Otherwise, why didn't Xiong Ran send others to guard the Jiang Mansion alone? Otherwise, he has no surplus value, why hasn't he been abandoned by Xiong Ran?
"Xiong Ran heard that the two of us are very strong, so he asked us to stop Jiang Hou, and then that's it." Zhao Miao replied.
The stone is calm and motionless like a big stone, Jiang Jue is not short, but he is barely like a childish child in the stone. Zhao Miao's answer seems to be reasonable, after all, Xiong Ran has a heart for talent, and the strength of the two of them to work together to fight with Jiang Hou is not bad.
Jiang Jue looked at Zhao Miao, who was slender and pretty, on the left, and at the burly, five big and three thick stones on the right, and couldn't help asking, "Are you really husband and wife?" ”
It's no wonder that Jiang Hou asked this question, after all, the two of them only lived in one room, but the two of them didn't admit it, and they didn't deny it.
"Yes." Zhao Miao said.
At the same time, the stone urn replied, "No." ”
"Husband, grandpa is looking for you." Miao Miao shouted.
Jiang Jue had no choice but to go into the house to greet Miao Sheng, and then asked, "Grandpa has something to do with me?" ”
"I'm going to resign and retire in a few days, you must be careful, whether you are in Yingdu or leaving, please take Miao'er with you." Miao Sheng asked.
"That's natural," Jiang Jue asked, "Why did Grandpa suddenly resign and go into hiding?" ”
"It's going to change," Miao Sheng said, "My old bones will only hinder the progress of the chariot of the King of Chu, and it is still a little hard work to have a good end." ”
"Luoyi Alliance, try not to go," Miao Sheng said, "I know that you are not in Yingdu, you want to shoulder morality, you want to hold Li Min, there is a long way to go." ”
"Grandpa, please also tell where Qi Jun and Qi Guanzhuang are, otherwise I will be uneasy." Jiang Jue asked. He never asked Miao Sheng this question, because he believed in Miao Sheng's personality. But he knows Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang better, neither of them is a corner of peace, if he sees that he has not been in Yingying for a long time, he will definitely toss, and naturally there will be some news. But the news of the two of them sank into the sea, so Jiang Jue really couldn't let go.
"Went to the mountains." Zhao Miao replied from afar.
"Can you hear it from so far?" Jiang Jue asked. Although the door was not closed, the gate of the courtyard was twenty steps away from the house, and Jiang Jue asked himself and did not speak loudly.
"Childe is less mobile at night." Zhao Miao replied.
