Chapter 4: Breaking One of His Arms
The New Year is approaching, the people of Changsha City are either busy buying New Year's goods, or busy cleaning the house, and some married women are also taking the opportunity to go back to their parents' homes and visit relatives. [Full text reading. The entire city of Changsha is plunged into a busy and festive atmosphere.
In the bright mansion of Ma Liang in the west of the city, the housekeeper was shouting loudly, directing his subordinates to start cleaning the courtyard, cleaning the room, and hanging the red lantern. In a small courtyard to the left of the front hall of Kemafu, it was quiet. This courtyard is about 20 meters deep, there is a small pool in the front of it, in which the strange stones are stacked, its shape is like an eagle that wants to soar into the sky, one claw shrinks, the other claw tramples on the stone but it is hollow, and the bubbling water flows out. The pond is surrounded by seemingly messy evergreen trees, and there is a small pebble-paved path between the trees, and the winding path leads to a vermilion pavilion flying from all corners. In the middle of the pavilion is a small stone table one meter square, and four stone piers are evenly placed next to it.
Ma Guangliang, the eldest of Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, and Xu Zhongya, one of the eighteen scholars of Tiance Mansion, were in the pavilion, playing chess intently.
Xu Zhongya saw Ma Guangliang twisting a black chess piece in his hand, lightly touched it in the left corner of the chessboard, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, your ''' is settled." ”
Ma Guangliang's chess skills are good, but Xu Zhongya is at the level of a national player, the two are half ministers in name, but they are actually masters and apprentices, and the relationship is extremely harmonious, so Xu Zhongya naturally does not keep his hands on chess. The two played chess, and Xu Zhongya won more and lost less.
However, in today's game, it seems that Ma Guangliang is ashamed and brave, and the chess board seems to have taken some advantage.
Ma Guangliang frowned, thought hard for a while, nodded, and said, "It's decided." Master Xu, it's your turn. ”
"Huh." Xu Zhongya smiled and picked up the white, but instead of making up for the bright fall of the horse, she made a "break" in the lower left corner.
Guangliang couldn't help but glance at it in surprise, and Xu Zhongya, who was smiling, lowered her head and thought for a long time, shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, your means of playing chess are really endless." Ay. I thought I was in a good situation, but I didn't expect it to be cut off by you, and more than ten words in the lower left corner were completely white. Hey, I thought you had murderous intent against my dragon, but I didn't expect it......"
Xu Zhongya still had that happy expression and said: "Playing chess is a small way. Gu Lai Ming likes to play chess a lot, but he doesn't play well. Does the prince know why? ”
Xu Zhongya didn't wait for Ma Guangliang to answer, and asked herself: "Don't underestimate the square inch, it's not difficult to learn Go, but if you want to play well, but you don't know how much time it takes, how many of those Mingmen are willing to be here and waste time?" However, the theory of chess is vast and infinite, and it is not only used in Go, but also in government affairs, which is also very beneficial. ”
Guangliang glanced at Xu Zhongya thoughtfully, this master of his own, who usually has a lot of government affairs, and is approaching the end of the year, how could he come to play chess with him for no reason, so there is really a reason.
"Lord Wang, yesterday Lord Li Jie returned to Changsha, Chu and Tang got married, and they were officially reconciled. The king, presumably he will soon send troops to Lingnan. ”
"Hehe, hey, my cousin, I don't know what to think, he himself killed his siblings and slaughtered ministers, it's just that, but he still wants to beat my Da Chu idea from time to time. He didn't dare to come with a big fanfare, it was just a little fight, hey, it was really a little family. By the way, Master Xu, have you heard that my cousin of the King of Han likes to reuse eunuchs recently, do you want to be a big official? Yes, if you become a eunuch, you will be made a big official. Hehe, I really don't know what he was thinking. Ma Guangliang shook his head as he spoke.
When Ma Yin was alive, Liu Yan, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty, married Ma Yin's daughter, and the current lord of the Southern Han Dynasty was Ma Yin's grandson, who happened to be Ma Guangliang's cousin. This cousin of his loves to do two things, one is to kill his brother, cut off all the heads of his brothers, and send them to the Western Elysium to chat with his father, and the other thing is to believe in eunuchs, and even perverted to the extent that he only trusts eunuchs, wants to be prime ministers, wants to be monks, is good at learning and has strong ability to do things, but if he can't do it, he has to cut off his little brother and make a stand.
Xu Zhongya obviously said that the king of Chu was going to send troops to Lingnan, but Ma Guangliang actually diverted this topic to the lord of Lingnan. Xu Zhongya glanced at him slightly, but she was not annoyed. This Ma Guangliang has been doing this since he was a child, what he wants, he will never say it, he always waits for others to say it for him, and he can always make it for him by the way......
Xu Zhongya still said with a smile: "Liu Zhaoyu ran back from Jingnan, where did he get that important thing, you also saw it, Lord Wang." I don't know what you're going to do, Lord Wang? ”
Ma Guangliang suddenly realized, it seemed that he had just discovered Xu Zhongya's intention, he took a sip of tea, and said: "Master Li once said that this Liu Zhaoyu is not credible......"
Xu Zhongya smiled indifferently and said: "Master Li, naturally he has his concerns, and this is not inappropriate, Liu Zhaoyu has just fled from Jingnan to Changsha, and Ma Guangmeng of the Jingnan Jiedu Embassy immediately paid his respects to impeach Liu Zhaoyu for losing tribute and silver, insulting the national body and other crimes...... It doesn't look like a fake. But let's not say that this Liu Zhaoyu is credible or not. The thing he brought, the seal he stamped, would never be fake. ”
Ma Guangliang's expression finally became solemn, he stared at Xu Zhongya twice, and asked, "That incident, there must be a good chance that it must be true." ”
Xu Zhongya smiled and said in a deep voice: "There is no *** out of ten in this matter. The prince should be interrupted, and there will be endless troubles. In case there is a good king, the power in that person's hands is big enough to subvert the Great Chu country. ”
Ma Guangliang was silent for a long time, and then said: "Master Xu, you don't know that my father has a lot of trust in that person, and I am also a bogeyman." I understand what you mean, but I want that person to take command of the expedition and crusade against the Han Kingdom, not to mention anything else, my father will not be able to pass the pass. Moreover, Master Li ......"
A sneer flashed in Xu Zhongya's eyes, and he said, "Lord Wang, don't you feel something from this game of chess?" ”
"Oh," Ma Guangliang's eyes turned to the chess situation again.
"Master Xu, what do you mean, ......?"
"Lord Wang. Now the six armies of the internal army, Xu Qiong, Liu Yanyao, Peng Shiwei, Wang Yun, Qi Ye and that person are each in charge of an army, among them, Peng Shiwei is obviously the person of the five princes, and he can't move easily, Wang Yun has always been loyal, you can not remember, but the name of the seventh master is the supervisor, in fact, it is only in name, the real leader of the army is the deputy general Liu Quanming, and Liu Quanming, Liu Yanyan and that person have mastered a total of three armies, and the army that Qiong has mastered was originally under Zhang Shaodi, and Zhang Shaodi needless to say is also that person's party. Among the six most elite armies of my Great Chu, that man actually mastered three and a half branches. Lord, can you still sleep? Originally, Zhou Tingxue's case was an excellent opportunity, but unfortunately we only had one account book in our hands to crusade against the Han Kingdom, but it was a great opportunity. But this step has to be taken step by step. I remember that after the fifth prince broke Nanping, he had a military article. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Zhongya took a sip of tea and said, "We might as well take it out and use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to play the king to rectify the internal army." ”
Ma Guangliang's eyes seemed to be bright, but soon it darkened again, he shook his head and said, "Master Xu, you haven't seen it, Zhou Tingyu's case involves a lot of generals in the internal army. Even if my father decrees to rectify the internal army, I am afraid that it will not be done in the end. ”
"Hehe, Lord Wang, all we want is to startle the snake." Xu Zhongya said slowly.
"Oh? What does that mean? ”
"Lord Wang, let's first persuade the king to agree, and then put on a big show to rectify the internal army, so that the person will definitely panic, at this time, we will take the opportunity to persuade the king to let Liu Yanyu take command of the expedition, that person can't figure out our purpose, and he will definitely not try his best to stop it, as soon as Liu Yanyan leaves, he will just break his arm."
Guangliang couldn't help but slap with both hands, he stood up, took two steps back and forth, and suddenly asked: "But, isn't the rectification of the internal army finally over?" If my father asks me to do it, and I can't achieve the expected goal, then ......"
"Of course, the rectification must be rectified, but there is a focus. With that ledger, wouldn't we be able to put the army in order? In this way, firstly, the Qiong army was completely mastered, and in addition, it also deterred other armies. Isn't the task of reorganizing the army accomplished? Xu Zhongya explained with a smile.
"Wonderful, Master Xu, you are really a godsend to me." Ma Guangliang said excitedly.
"Hehe, Dongye, what attention did you pay to the prince?" A male duck came from the gate of the courtyard.
"Master Li, you came just in time,......" Ma Guangliang saw that Li Gao was also here, so of course he told Li Gao about Xu Zhongya's plan in detail.
Li Gao squinted at Xu Zhongya, who was drinking tea with his eyebrows lowered, and secretly praised in his heart, he thought about it and said, "I don't know Brother Dongye, how many internal troops do you want to persuade the king to dispatch?" ”
"Not much, two is enough."
"But Liu Yanjun and Liu Quanmingjun?"
"Not bad. It's them. Xu Zhongya nodded.
"Hehe, Brother Higashino, this is not appropriate. It's so obvious, stupid people know who it's aimed at. And in doing so, there is one biggest drawback, although this Liu Quanming is in charge of the army, the nominal general of that army is the seventh master. The king has never been very satisfied with the Seventh Master, and maybe he will really send the Seventh Master to send troops. In this way, there is the Seventh Master, his identity is different, and we want to send the prison army to suffer. ”
"Overseers?" A thought flashed through Xu Zhongya's mind, Li Gao's mind was really heavy. What he meant was not only to transfer Liu Yanyan away, but also to take the opportunity to swallow this army. Hey......
