Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

The location of Jiangling is too dangerous, and the soldiers must fight, although he defeated Sun Ce before, but it was because Zhou Yu was seriously ill. Xun Gang later heard that Zhang Zhongjing had cured Zhou Yu's typhoid fever, so he sent Lü Bu to lead a heavy army to defend Jiangling, and he himself moved the city to Xiangyang again.

In addition, Xiangyang is the state capital of Jingzhou, and now Xun Gang still has a dignified "King of Wei" under him, how can he not put the palace in a larger place? In the past few days, Li Yan is supervising the construction of the palace in Xiangyang, and Cao Chong can only sleep in the Assassin's Mansion.

Now Xun Gang only has three counties of Jiangxia, Jiangling and Xiangyang, and the next target is Nanyang and Wancheng in Jingbei; It's just that I don't know what Cao Ren, the defender here, thinks, if he agrees with Cao Chong's identity as the king of Wei, it will naturally be bloodless; If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid there will be a big war!

However, Xun Gang was not in a hurry, he had received the news before, and Liu Xie's kid couldn't hold his breath and announced his independence from the Cao Wei regime. And coincidentally, the day he announced his independence happened to be when he raised Cao Chong to become the king of Wei, and the whole world only cared about himself, but almost no one paid attention to him.

What a pity!

For Liu Xie, Xun Gang is also distressed, but he knows that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, even if you and the emperor are righteous brothers, what can you do? When the time comes, you will be powerful, and the emperor will still want to kill you! Success? As long as you still have a little influence in the court, the emperor can kill you when you have no power to resist!

If you want to rebel, it will only be infamy!

Don't look at Liu Xie's submissive appearance, Xun Gang has communicated with him for a long time and knows the ambition in his bones; If it is peaceful and prosperous, he will inevitably become a person like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! But everyone knows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not exempt from the centralization of power, the change of appearance year after year, and the stripping of privileges and monopolies.

For Liu Xie, Xun Gang neither wants to be outside him now, nor does he want to go to "King Qin" now; He can go whenever he wants. But because of Liu Xie's independence, the division of the Central Plains will inevitably change, and Xun Gang intends to sit back and watch it come into play and profit from it.

"There is already one person who can't help it," Xun Gang took a sip of wine, and the sunspot in his hand was extremely tight; There is not a single particle on the chessboard, Xun Gang is thinking about how to set up a formation to lure the enemy, "The scout is coming, three days ago, Cao Pili ascended the throne, made the seal of the king of Wei, and established himself as the king of Wei." ”

After that, I suddenly saw that as soon as he raised his hand, he fell straight to Tianyuan's position; Ma Liang, who was playing against him, was secretly shocked, how could there be a reason to start Tianyuan in Go, wouldn't it be a self-abandonment?

"It turns out that the lord doesn't know how to play Go......" Ma Liang smiled secretly in his heart, as if he was considering whether to let Xun Gang look at him.

However, on the bright side, Ma Liang still flattered: "Cao Pi loves power, and now that he is stimulated by the lord, he naturally can't stand it; As the eldest son, he took it for granted that the King of Wei should be his. But in this way, his name as the king of Wei is not right, but I am afraid that there will not be too little trouble! ”

After that, Ma Liang took his own son to occupy the corner, and played a few more hands with Xun Gang, feeling that Xun Gang was really a Go idiot.

"First of all, it is impossible for Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi to agree...... They will not serve Cao Chong, nor will they serve Cao Pi; But at least Cao Chong has a serious Wei Wang Xishou in his hand, and they can't join forces to clean me up first, I'm afraid that Cao Pi will be in trouble! ”

Ma Liang nodded, and while making a move, his brows furrowed involuntarily: "This chess ...... Weird! ”

"What's so weird?"

"Ah...... Nothing, nothing but today I heard that the Hebei side was very unstable, and the governor Zhang Liao was threatened by Cao Zhang, who was demoted to a soldier, and demanded that the military power be surrendered; Zhang Liao naturally didn't allow it, and Cao Zhang seemed to have contacted the Xianbei soldiers and horses in Youzhou, intending to merge the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou in exchange for the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou......"

Xun Gang nodded and smiled bitterly: "I have also heard about this, this Cao Zhang is a madman!" It's not good for this Youzhou to run out of his Cao family, so I have to add another state! I can't miss a dime in the thirteen states of China! Does this Cao Zhang want to be a sinner for the ages? ”

It seems that when it comes to Hulu, Xun Gang will be difficult to contain the fire. Youzhou and Bingzhou are the northern fortresses and the two most important horse-producing areas in China; Give these two places to Hulu, then where is there a BMW available in my Central Plains?

Ma Liang also sighed helplessly, and continued: "Hebei has the top generals of the Cao army, and it is not fearful to resist foreign invaders; It's just that Cao Zhang is familiar with the topography of Hebei, and the generals will understand that because he is Cao Cao's son, Hebei will be difficult to protect at that time! ”

Xun Gang shook his head indifferently, and said with a confident smile: "It's okay, Youzhou and Bingzhou are all my Chinese territory, since Cao Zhang, a traitor, dares to send them to Hulu, then I can also take them back one by one!" ”

"Traitor...... That's a good word to describe these people! Ma Liang smiled knowingly, and his depressed mood seemed to disperse, "This Cao Zhang will be the fish on the main board sooner or later, and I will count his sins one by one!" ”

The disadvantages of sunspots on the chessboard were fully revealed, but Ma Liang did not dare to relax in the slightest; He completely saw that this game of chess implied murder, and he didn't know where Xun Gang learned the chess game of this artifact, and the first move Tianyuan could also play was so thrilling.

"Strange chess, strange chess......" Ma Liang was sweating profusely, but he felt that the black chess was full of flaws, as if he was waiting for him to break them one by one.

Xun Gang took a look indifferently, and asked again: "Is there any news from Cao Zhi?" ”

Ma Liang watched the chess in shock, where did he hear Xun Gang's call? It's just that his right hand trembled and he dropped Bai Zi and continued to observe the whole battle.

Xun Gang frowned slightly, what's so good about this chess?

"Ji Chang! I'm asking you! ”

Being yelled at like this, Ma Liang finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What advice does the lord have?" ”

Xun Gang pursed his lips helplessly and said, "I just asked you how Cao Zhi is doing, but you are good, you are so fascinated by Go!" ”

Ma Liang hurriedly got up and bowed: "The lord is strange, but he is playing such a treacherous chess that he has never seen in his life, so he is out of his mind." The lord asked Cao Zhi just now, and the minister only knew that he seemed to be secretly contacting the Wa Kingdom, and he had a trouble with Sun Ce, and he didn't know the specifics. ”

"Wa Guo? Sun Ce? Xun Gang couldn't help but look weird when he heard these extremely familiar names, "Isn't the Wa Kingdom busy teaching the Dog Slave Country?" Besides, what is there to use in that country, the population of the whole country is not as large as ours in one city! ”

"As for Sun Ce...... Is he Cao Zhi crazy? Sun Ce has long been eyeing the Central Plains, and he doesn't know how long he has been thinking about Xuzhou in his heart! He, Cao Zhi, occupies the two major transportation routes of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, wouldn't Sun Ce take this opportunity to take it? ”

Ma Liang returned to his original position and said: "It's not clear in the next place, it is said that this is the strategy of Ding Yi, Yang Xiu and others, and they also wrote a secret letter to Hu Chuquan, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, and the king of Youxian to go to Bei, but the letter was intercepted by Cao Pi." Cao Pi is preparing to attack Cao Zhi on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason! ”

"Why is this Cao Zhang, why is Cao Zhi so prejudiced against Cao Pi?"

Ma Liang thought for a moment and said: "The territory of Wei is all in Jizhou and Yanzhou, which happens to be the territory of these two people; And Cao Pi didn't have any Wei territory at all, and the name of the king of Wei was not right, so it was inevitable that the two would be jealous. ”

"It seems that this Central Plains chaos is not a star...... Cao Pi is crazy, and Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi are also crazy! It's really like a brother, crazy and crazy together! Xun Gang smiled and fell on the other.

However, it was such a son that made Ma Liang's eyes completely wide. Xun Gang's previous stinky chess actually relied on Tianyuan Yizi to become a clever move; If you can still win three eyes according to the previous algorithm, then this step down, Xun Gang will definitely be unimpeded behind him, and win his own half eyes!

"How can there be such a good hand in this world?"

Xun Gang got up slowly and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's time to eat, I'll invite you to drink today!" ”

"Wait!"

Xun Gang was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Ma Liang, at this moment, Ma Liang's heart set off a monstrous wave, how did Xun Gang do it? Could it be that with Tian Yuan's hand before, he had already guessed the fifty, sixty, seventy, or even more than one hundred hands in the back? This...... It's impossible!

Thinking of this, Ma Liang knelt down unwillingly and asked, "The main chess path is unpredictable, I don't know if it is a professor with others?" ”

Xun Gang had expected him to ask like this, and smiled faintly: "Want to know?" ”

Ma Liang couldn't help nodding.

"Do you know that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Go saint who was called Du Fuzi?"

Ma Liang nodded and said: "I know, this person is a person from Chang'an, who became famous at a young age, and is known as the first in the world!" According to rumors, this person created his own trick Tian Yuan Relying on the Situation, and every time he played chess, he would play Tian Yuan in the first hand, but he could win a hundred battles and defeat the world's chess heroes...... Is it difficult to become a lord...... The lord got the Heavenly Yuan Relying on the Power Method? ”

Speaking of this, Ma Liang couldn't help but be shocked, it was the secret that Du Fuzi brought to the coffin, how could anyone know? Even if someone had reviewed Du Fuzi's chess game back then, they couldn't launch the reason for the Tianyuan Relying on the Situation.

Xun Gang shook his head and said with a smile: "Naturally not, Du Fuzi's chess strength is unparalleled, I am afraid that only the future generations can surpass it; It's just that I once dreamed that two immortals were playing against each other in the mountains, and the chess path was treacherous, but I was afraid that it was far more exquisite than the Tianyuan Relying on the Situation. Maybe Du Fuzi turned into a chess immortal after his death and still shines in the hands of the immortals......"

"Could it be that the chess path of the two immortals is the Tian Yuan Relying on the Momentum Method?"

Xun Gang laughed: "What Tianyuan Relying on the Situation?" When did I say that this is the Tian Yuan Reliance Method? This is my self-created chess game, called 'Eight Yuan Immortal Method'! ”

Ma Liang was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Eight Yuan, I, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Shi Xie! Immortals, the Son of Heaven also! Practicing the eight-yuan method of fighting for immortals without first establishing the Son of Heaven, how can the eight-yuan fight for immortals? This game is just a game of luck that I occasionally feel in the world! ”

Ma Liang was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were very different when he looked at Xun Gang; Xun Gang will run the only remaining princes and the Son of Heaven in his hands like chess pieces, and in the end, he can win a small victory, which is ...... Xun Gang is so ambitious?

"Ji Chang, you will assist me, right?"

Xun Gang turned his head and smiled faintly at Ma Liang.
