A few days later, the battle report came, King Yan led the army and Wei Duke Xu Huizu fought at the foot of Qimei Mountain, winning and losing each other, and the southern army was defeated the next day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info King Yan immediately led his army to Lingbi.

Zhu Gaochi did not get any news about the secret letter of the imperial court messenger and the Son of Heaven, and was very anxious. According to his calculations, day and night, as soon as possible, the people and the letter should have been delivered by now. He was afraid that his third brother Zhu Gaosui would take the lead, and his father would order him to be killed in anger.

Shen Ruoyu didn't know that the content of the battle report was a little watery. He was very suspicious that Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, would lose the battle. However, the battle report said so, at least it shows that even if the Yan army was defeated in this battle, it was not badly defeated, and the morale was still high.

He recovered quickly, and he had already begun to worry about what he should use as a pastime for the rest of his life. He is a person who treats sins, and he can't do what he wants, so he must have to be under house arrest in the palace. He wanted to ask the prince to borrow a book to read, but he was embarrassed to be a criminal and a thief and be so leisurely. So he didn't open his mouth and died, and just continued to play with the county lord of Changning all day long, teasing Zhu Zhanji.

On the last day of April, the latest battle report came, the Yan army cut off the Lingbi salary of the imperial army, the king of Yan used a trick to lure the enemy, Zhu Gaoxu ambushed the army to break the Lingbi camp, the southern army was defeated, and the right general Ping'an and the general Chen Hui were all captured. General Ho Fu escaped on horseback. The Yan army captured a total of 37 generals of the Southern Army and surrendered 100,000 people of the Southern Army. The prince cherishes peace, Chen Hui is brave and good at fighting, and he can't bear to be hurt, so he ordered his subordinates to escort him back to Beiping, and he will arrive soon, and he will be ready to greet him and treat him with courtesy. At the same time, the prince greatly appreciated the decision of the prince to send the secret letter of the son of heaven and the messenger of the imperial court, saying that with the prince guarding Beiping, he no longer had to worry about the future.

When Zhu Gaochi received the report, he was in the palace of the princess with Daoyan, Yao Biao and Yuan Heng. Several people discussed it, but they didn't tell Shen Ruoyu the news that day. Shen Ruoyu didn't know anything, only that the princess rewarded him with a basket of peaches.

The next morning, Dao Yan came to the palace of the prince and saw Shen Ruoliao teaching Zhu Zhanji and the county lord of Changning to play chess, so he stepped forward to watch.

"At this time, you should be a pawn," Shen Ruoyu pointed with chopsticks.

Chang Ning asked, "Why can't you take the car?" ”

"A car is better than a pawn, isn't it?" Shen Ruoyu didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Of course."

Shen Ruoyu smiled: "Zhanji, do you know why the car is better than the pawn, but at this time, you should be a pawn instead of a car?" ”

Zhu Zhanji bit his fingers, thought seriously for a while, and asked:

"Because, there are fewer cars than pawns?"

Shen Ruoyu smiled and stuffed a piece of peach into Zhu Zhanji's small mouth, and praised him: "Smart." There are five pawns and only two rooks. One step at a time, you can only move forward, not backward. The car is on a rampage, doing whatever it wants, invincible. Since the car is so good, good steel must be used on the blade. On the battlefield, if ten people can accomplish things, it will never take fifty people; If an ordinary soldier can succeed, he will never send a general, which is the same reason. But that's just one reason. What is another reason? ”

He cut another piece of peach, put it on the tip of the chopsticks, and looked at the two students with a reward.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the chessboard in confusion. The county lord of Changning shook his head. Shen Ruo saw that the two were puzzled, and inspired:

"You can take this step and try it and see what happens."

The county lord of Changning walked away and ate Zhu Zhanji's horse. Zhu Zhanji frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he flew up and swallowed Chang Ning's car in one gulp.

"Ahh ――If you don't bring it or not, this step is just an attempt and a new attempt. ”

"Auntie regrets the move," Zhu Zhanji smirked.

"Got it? This step is extremely dangerous, no matter how you go, you can't win; If you lose your car again, wouldn't it be a big loss? On the battlefield, there is only the truth of losing a pawn to protect the car, and there has never been a loss of the car to protect the pawn. Shen Ruoyu smiled while sending the peaches to the mouth of the county lord of Changning. However, Zhanji, don't be too complacent, let's take a look at what will happen if Aunt Chang Ning listens to me and doesn't go to the car, but pawns. ”

He restored the chessboard to its original state, set up Zhu Zhanji's horse and Changning's car, and then pointed to the pawn in the center of Changning's side that had reached the edge of the Chu River and Han Border with his chopsticks.

"Let's go this."

Chang Ning suspiciously pushed the pawn forward and ate Zhu Zhanji's soldiers, who were also on the boundary river.

Zhu Zhanji said majestically: "It's just a small soldier who eats me, don't be afraid." Watch my cart run over you. He mobilized the cart on the side of the border and ate the pawns of Changning who crossed the boundary river.

"General!" Shen Ruoyu's hands fell. Before Zhu Zhanji could react, the two serial cannons were already firmly aimed at his handsome man. He was shocked and hurriedly asked the flying elephant to protect the handsome, but found that the flying elephant was useless. Immediately, he realized that the vaulters were just as useless as the flying elephants. Eat the cannon in front of you, and you just so have a car staring at the same line. However, the moment he raised his hand, he found that it was not right, it was white, and there was a cannon behind him......

You can only find a way to block or get rid of the cannon in the back. At this moment, he didn't have anything to do. Zhu Zhanji racked his brains, and finally was at a loss, and said angrily:

"Lose, lose! I was careless and didn't pay attention. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled and touched Zhu Zhanji's round brain, and rewarded him with another peach.

Zhan Ji did not regret the move, and admitted defeat frankly, and he was an upright man. Next time, you can remember that when playing chess, you can't just look at the children in front of you, you have to think about ten steps forward with each step, not only thinking about your own children, but also paying attention to the opponents' children. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. ”

Dao Yan finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Zhanji, it's not advisable to just admit defeat and not admit defeat."

Zhu Zhanji said unhappily: "The master can see clearly, why don't you remind me?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said with a smile: "Zhanji, 'a true gentleman who does not speak a word when watching chess'; ”

Zhu Zhanji shouted: "Do it all over again, this time you will definitely not be fooled again." ”

Dao Yan smiled: "There is only life and death on the battlefield, but no one cares if you are careless or not, and you don't pay attention." The old handsome is gone, so why talk about starting over? Unless you surrender, you can still save your life. Look at Uncle Ruoxiao, he is the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, and it doesn't matter how many victories he has fought before, just because he accidentally carelessly paid attention, he was ambushed by your grandfather, and he was surrounded by chaos, and he almost lost his life and was sent back to Beiping. The imperial army lost General Zuo, and since then it has been out of control, Xiaohe, Suzhou, and Qimeishan have been defeated three times in a row, and this time they were completely defeated in Lingbi, and the right general was compensated. You ask Uncle Ruoyu, he was just a small mistake, why didn't he want to do it again? Because he surrendered and knew that everything was irretrievable. Your grandfather also respected him for this, so he sent him back and did not allow anyone to hurt him. The battlefield is not a board game, you have to learn a lot from Uncle Ruoyu. ”

Shen Ruoyu couldn't help it, and blurted out: "Master, you just said that the imperial army was defeated in Lingbi?" What the hell happened to General Ping? ”

Dao Yan smiled: "General Shen is not surprised. General Ping was safe and sound. The prince has broken the Lingbi, the two generals Ping'an and Chen Hui were captured alive, and there were 35 large and small generals, only He Fu was spared. The army of the imperial court surrendered to more than 100,000 people. ”

Shen Ruoyu was silent for a while, sighed softly, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "The general trend is gone." ”

Dao Yan shook his head and smiled: "In the battle of the Xianghe River, the imperial court lost General Zuo, and it was already a general trend. In the first battle of Lingbi, he lost General Right and Chen Hui, and the defeat was decided. I don't think that in January, the prince will come to Beijing. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Come to think of it, I only have this one month left." ”

Dao Yan said: "General Shen, the old man came today to want to work as a general, and to live in my Qingshou Temple for a few days. ”

Shen Ruoyu was stunned: "Qingshou Temple? Why? ”

Dao Yan said: "First, because the princess Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince are grateful to the general for giving advice to the Son of Heaven the day before yesterday. Someone from the army said that His Royal Highness the Third Highness had received a secret letter from the Son of Heaven and had an affair with the imperial court, and the book was sent to the army. Fortunately, the envoy sent by the prince arrived later and sent a secret letter from the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, but the seal was not opened. The prince opened the seal and read the letter in the box, and after reading it, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Kill my son a few times." It can be seen that the prince really had the heart to kill the prince at that time. ”

Shen Ruoyu was physically and mentally cold, looked at Dao Yan incredulously, and muttered, "How can the prince be like this? ”

Dao Yan looked at him with a smile: "So, if it weren't for General Shen's help, the prince would be in danger, and Beiping would also be in danger." King Yan's great cause will also be ruined. ”

Shen Ruoxiao said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is auspicious, and those who can turn danger into safety rely on His Highness's own wit and decisiveness, loyalty and filial piety, and second, rely on the master's advice." What His Royal Highness finally adopted was the master's suggestion, and everything had nothing to do with Shen Ruoliao. I have always been just a minister who treats crimes, and I dare to talk about military aircraft and state affairs in front of the prince and the master. ”

Dao Yan said: "Good; General Shen is in the front, and Lao Wei is in the back, you and I just coincide. In the end, His Highness adopted General Shen's suggestion. Niangniang and His Royal Highness Nian General Nian have lived in the palace for a long time, and there are many inconveniences inside and outside, so they want to change a quiet place for their feet. ”

Shen Ruoyu thanked him and said: "Master, if this is because Shen Ruoyu has lived in the palace for a long time and caused inconvenience to others, Niangniang and His Royal Highness only need a word, even if it is for me to live on the street, if I die." If it's to thank you, if it's few, you don't dare to do it. I'm just a sinner, after all; Even if it is not, it is the duty of His Highness to solve problems, and it is a matter of course, and there is no reason for Niangniang and His Highness to thank him. ”

Dao Yan said unhurriedly: "If General Shen thinks so, Lao Wei will tell the truth about this second reason. Thirty-seven court generals such as Ping'an and Chen Hui, who were captured by Wang Ye, were already on their way back to Beiping. The prince has ordered His Royal Highness to take good care of these people and treat them with courtesy. His Royal Highness was worried that these court generals would live in Beiping, and if they met with General Shen frequently, they would be afraid of causing trouble, so it was inconvenient to continue to keep the generals in the palace. Qingshou Temple is a quiet place for Buddhism, the general has not yet recovered, and needs to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and rest in peace. And with the old man to take care of him at any time, His Royal Highness and Niangniang can rest assured. I don't know what the general wants? ”

The county lord of Changning interjected on the side: "Speaking of which, isn't it just to drive people away?" Even if my brother-in-law continues to stay in the palace, what can he do? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Your Royal Highness the county lord must not say that; His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess Niangniang thought about it very much. Shen Ruoyu immediately went to Qingshou Temple with the master, and from then on, he would have to cause more trouble to the master and disturb the tranquility of Buddhism. ”

Dao Yan bowed slightly and said, "Good, General Shen must not see outside." The gates of my Keeshouji Temple are always open to the general. ”

"Does Lord Yao know?"

"Master Yao has not yet been informed. So the old man sent someone to invite him. ”

The county lord of Changning interjected again: "Master, can we go to Qingshou Temple to see my brother-in-law?" I still want to take Jungi to play with him every day. ”

Dao Yan smiled and said: "As long as the prince and the mother agree, the county lord can bring the grandson here at any time." ”

How could the prince and the princess let the county lord of Changning and Zhu Zhanji out of the palace every day, it was already great to go out once or twice a month. Dao Yan really has a spectrum in his heart, so he is not afraid to make such a promise.

Yao Biao rushed to the palace when he heard the news, and he must send Shen Ruoyu to Qingshou Temple together. Zhu Gaochi arranged a carriage; Although Shen Ruoyu repeatedly said that he could walk over, everyone felt that it was not appropriate for the people of Peking to see him at the moment. Shen Ruoyu himself understood, so he no longer shirked and got into the car with Yao Biao. Dao Yan rode a horse and left the palace with the car to Qingshou Temple.

Dao Yan specially prepared a meditation room for Shen Ruoliao, located in the depths of the backyard of the Buddhist temple, sheltered by a bamboo forest in front, visitors do not come, and the orientation and lighting are all excellent. Yao Biao saw it and was very relieved. He accompanied Shen Ruoliao and Dao Yan to have a meal together, and then sat until the sunset, cut Shen Ruoliao's pulse again, left a little medicine on the sideboard, and advised:

"Xiao'er, the environment here is very good, the air is fresh, the courtyard is quiet, and it is better than in the palace. Vegetarian meals are light, which is suitable for nourishing injuries and illnesses and calming the nerves. Although your wounds are healed, but your qi and veins are still weak, you can start to practice a little sitting and standing exercises to help you recover and recuperate. Don't practice too much, let alone practice fists, feet, and swords. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled lightly: "Your Excellency, rest assured." ”

"I've got some medicine here just in case. Master Dao Yan knows how to use it. If there is nothing big in the palace, I will come to see you every day. If the prince breaks the Jingshi soon, the Jingshi will have more things waiting for him to do, and he won't be able to return to Beiping for a while. You just have to rest and don't think about anything. ”

"Adults don't have to come every day. It's hard for you to go back to Beiping, or spend more time with your family. Ruo Xiao has really been healed. Adults don't worry anymore. ”

"I'm a doctor, and I know better than you. Listen to me, of course. ”
