Chapter 47 The chessboard of the two countries, the game against Jiangbei, and the return of the Son of Heaven to Beijing

After Zhao Dezhao returned to Kaifeng, the Zhao family was relieved, Zhao Dezhao only said that he went to Luoyang, which made the family worry about Yunyun, but fortunately, even Zhao Kuangmei didn't know that he had gone to Huainan.

The affairs of the Yang clan have been completely successful, and the next thing is to arrange their life in Kaifeng, and Yang Meng is very relieved of Zhao Dezhao's ability to do things, so he entrusts Yizi and lets them live and work in peace and contentment outside the city.

Then, according to his set of work styles, Zhao Dezhao properly settled these Yang clansmen, avoided the catastrophe in their history, provided them with a place to live, and treated them the same as those people before.

The people of the Yang clan were very grateful, and in order to avoid causing trouble, Zhao Dezhao asked them to change their words and not call themselves "young masters" in front of others.

After that, Zhao Dezhao implemented according to his own plan, and brought it to Chuzhou City in Huainan for almost a month, and many matters in Kaifeng were fully responsible for teaching Bai Gucheng and those teaching gentlemen, and he went there every day to inspect during this time.

Soon after, the four people who claimed to be the four great talents who had embarrassed Zhao Dezhao in Xiangguo Temple also came to Zhao Dezhao. Zhao Dezhao is not to blame in the past, and inquired about their situation from other people, knowing that they have returned the people's property, and they have been changing their minds in the past few years, Zhao Dezhao thinks that they are good, and now they know that they are very good, so they let them teach the teaching lessons of the students of Sanwei Study, mainly qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs.

The four talents were very grateful to Zhao Dezhao and began their career of educating children.

Within a month, every day, Zhao Dezhao went to the backyard to exercise.

At that time, I went to home outside the city.

Before that, I rushed back and went to Guangwei Building in the south of the city.

At the same time, he received a secret report from his brother Wan Song and Jiangning Mansion, knowing that the battle was raging ahead, and Zhao Hongyin's body was fine, in addition, Shouzhou City had always been in the hands of the Tang Army and had not been captured.

When the time comes, go home and go to sleep.

At the end of May, Zhao Dezhao discussed with his father-in-law that he planned to return to Huainan again in June, and at this time, the battle line had been pushed to the Huainan line, and most of the entire Jiangbei land was in the hands of the Zhou army.

Now it's June, June 2, Zhao Dezhao packed up, brought some useful supplies, carried weapons with him, and under the same pretext, said goodbye to his family, took Zhao Xin, and secretly followed and protected his Lao Jiu.

On the way, while inquiring, while thinking, eight days later, June 10, arrived in Chuzhou, in Chuzhou City to see the recuperating grandfather Zhao Hongyin, fortunately, Zhao Hongyin was originally going to be sent by the Son of Heaven Guo Rong to support Yangzhou, but since the last time Zhao Kuangyin wrote to Guo Rong about his father's physical condition, and Guo Rong agreed to Zhao Kuangyin's request.

Zhao Hongyin saw that his grandson had not seen him for a month, and he had grown a lot taller, but he was darker and stronger. Zhao Hongyin smiled bitterly: "Your father is really ruthless, he also put a book in front of His Majesty before, saying that your grandfather wants to recuperate and fight on the front line, and now His Majesty has allowed me to recuperate." I have been working for more than a month, walking around the mansion every day, and by the way, I also take care of the affairs of Chuzhou City. ”

Zhao Dezhao laughed and said, "Grandpa, why do you complain as soon as you meet." Daddy is out of a lot of hard work, and now that you're old, you're going to enjoy your life! ”

Zhao Hongyin said: "What, good grandson, even you think your grandfather is old." ”

"Uh...... That's not what Zhao'er meant? Grandpa, you heard me wrong. Grandpa is in the prime of life, old and strong, and ambitious. ”

"Grandpa loves to hear this. Forget it, when I saw Zhao'er coming again, I just happened to accompany my grandfather to relieve my boredom. ”

"By the way, grandpa is out of Beijing this time, and Zhao'er has a good thing! This thing is the best way to relieve boredom. ”

"Oh? What a good thing. ”

"We'll find out later."

Zhao Dezhao asked the coachman to move all the things from the car to the Chuzhou City Mansion, and then asked Li Yuanchang to take a box from the car.

Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Hongyin walked to the back garden, although the front line was fighting, but it was rare to have peace in Chuzhou City.

When Li Yuanchang took a box and took out the folding chessboard and chess pieces inside, Zhao Hongyin's eyes couldn't stop.

Chinese chess has a long history, it is moderately difficult, the basic rules are concise and easy to understand, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign men and women of all ages, rich and delicate changes, chessboard and chess pieces are written to reflect Chinese culture.

The folded chessboard is spread out into a square plane. There are nine horizontal and ten vertical points, a total of ninety intersections.

The middle book of the chessboard is "Chu River, Han Boundary", and the font is reversed.

Zhao Hongyin said: "Although the chessboard has seen a lot, but the topic of the Chu River and Han realm is good, at the beginning of the Chu and Han rivalries, first with the 'chasm' to divide the Chu and Han borders, this is the scene, now my Great Zhou and Tang are at war in Jiangbei, just like this chessboard, whoever wins first will win." ”

After Zhao Hongyi looked at the chessboard, he took out the red and black chess pieces from the box, a total of thirty-two, divided into sixteen groups, and the chess pieces were engraved:

Zhao Hongyin looked at the chess pieces, looked at them, and counted them, red chess: one handsome, two rooks, horses, artillery, two phases, and five soldiers. Black: One pawn, two rooks, horses, cannons, elephants, and soldiers, and five pawns.

This is a clear division of generals and commanders, a confrontation between soldiers and soldiers, and different camps everywhere. Zhao Hongyin became more and more interested in this, and asked: "Zhao'er, there are so many chess, but I haven't heard of a cannon, so I don't know what a cannon is?" ”

Zhao Dezhao replied: "This is chess, although grandpa doesn't know cannons, but Zhao'er will explain to grandpa what 'cannons' are in the future." ”

"Okay, then you can introduce the rules of chess to grandpa."

Zhao Dezhao then elaborated carefully, and then the grandfather and grandson began to fight on the chessboard, and throughout the morning, Zhao Dezhao won Zhao Hongyin safely, and in the afternoon, the two sides could not hold each other.

Zhao Dezhao smiled bitterly: "In just half a day's work, grandpa's chess skills are so sophisticated, they are about to tie." Zhao'er bowed to the wind. ”

"Zhao'er's chess skills are not bad, but the grandfather who hurt him suffered."

"Uh......"

Although Zhao Hongyin was playing chess, he was also paying attention to the battle ahead, and after the stalemate in chess, he kept sighing: "I don't know how the front line is?" ”

Zhao Dezhao was familiar with the general trend and comforted him: "The battle ahead has now become a stalemate, but now that my Da Zhou has taken the lead, I believe that soon, there will be good news." It's just that at the moment, His Majesty Da Zhou can't attack Shouzhou City for a long time, and Liu Renzhen, the defender of the Tang Army, is indeed a hard bone. But in the end, this 'general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time', my Great Zhou has taken up the general trend of the world, and this time the Tang lord Li Jing is afraid that this time he is going to lose his land and claim to be a minister. After this battle, the world will be unified after all. ”

"'The general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time' Zhao'er, this sentence is so incisive, I don't know who said it?"

"Uh...... This is what Mr. Miao Xun Miao Guangyi said. Zhao Dezhao pushed Miao Xun out, "If Mr. Miao is here, it would be good, his talent is comparable to Zhuge Wuhou, although he is not here now, but he is here, he can anticipate the enemy first." ”

"Miao Xun's talent is naturally good, but he is in Kaifeng at the moment, but grandpa thinks that Zhao Puzhao's military judge ability is not bad, and he has been talking to him recently, and he feels that this person will definitely be among the princes and prime ministers in the future."

?“ Oh, grandpa said that's absolutely true! I heard my father say that in the last battle of Qingliuguan, it was this person who offered a plan, detoured to a place that the enemy had not noticed, and suddenly besieged, which led to the victory of Chuzhou City. All around Chu are mountains. Its southwest peaks, the forest gully is particularly beautiful, and the one who looks at it is blue and deep and beautiful, Langya also. It is precisely because Chuzhou is in the mountains that Chuzhou is safe in the hands of the Zhou army. ”

"Chuzhou and Jiangning Mansion are separated by a Yangtze River moat, such a close distance, if it is attacked, it will be good, but along the Yangtze River, the Tang Army Naval Division is stationed. And the Tang Army's naval division dominates the world, and my Great Zhou Naval Army is far inferior, and now we can only rely on the Shu generals to temporarily train the Zhou Naval Army. ”

Hearing that his grandfather talked about the Zhou State Water Army, Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered Fan Ruoshui in history, I don't know where this person is now, and he must meet this person if he has the opportunity, but Zhao Dezhao is also worried that he will go to him rashly now, and he will accidentally change history, maybe there will be no such person.

Now that he has rescued the former Yang royal family of Wu State, history has changed, and he is also in Chuzhou City, playing chess with Zhao Hongyin in a mansion in Chuzhou, hehe.

The grandfather and grandson are still playing chess, and at this moment there is a military report, saying: Today, Han Lingkun defeated the Tang Army of Chuzhou, and Zhang Yongde defeated the Tang Army of Sizhou.

And Zhao Hongyin stroked his beard and sighed, the front line is still the same without himself, but Zhao Dezhao is happy for the good news on the front line.

In the past few days, Zhao Dezhao stayed in Chuzhou City, and in the middle of the night, he collected information about Changchun Hall, but he still had no tricks to persuade Liu Renzhen to surrender to Shouzhou City.

Although Liu Renzhen and his father-in-law Yang Meng are in-laws, the two are in different camps, while Liu Renzhen insists on the festival of loyalty and righteousness. Yang Meng and Li Jing of the Tang Kingdom, that is hatred, and the father-in-law has always avenged the hatred of the country and the family.

Therefore, it is difficult for Liu Renzhen to persuade him to surrender, unless he loses his sustenance for Tang Guo and Li Jing, and surrenders to Da Zhou, and this matter is also tricky, but it is also good to give it a try, if this person is preserved, it is easy to explain to his father-in-law and history.

At present, Zhao Dezhao is fledgling, so he can only change history and rescue some related people, and he can't help others.

Zhao Dezhao suddenly found that his toss had saved the lives of countless people, because he rescued the Yang clan and killed Yin Yanfan, but Li Jing did not kill his family.

Every other two days, Zhao Dezhao can receive information from Kaifeng, where Yang Meng is in Kaifeng, and here Zhao Dezhao is supervising on the front line, it is really a father and son, one south and one north, echoing each other.

Seven days later, on June 17, Guo Rong appointed Xiang Xun as the envoy of the Huainan Festival, and concurrently served as the envoy along the Yangtze River. New vortex pontoon bridge.

On June 18, Guo Rong rushed from Haozhou to Wukou, and wanted to go to Yangzhou to supervise the battle in person, but was stopped by Fan Zhen and others on the grounds that the soldiers were tired and the military rations were insufficient.

On June 23, the vortex mouth was changed to the Zhenhuai Army.

On June 29, Guo Rong left Li Chongjin and others to continue the siege of Shouzhou, returned to Beijing and Kaifeng, and arrived in Kaifeng on July 6.

Throughout June, the main battlefield of the front was in Yangzhou, the land north of the Yangtze River, with the Tang army planning to recover Yangzhou and the Zhou army defending Yangzhou City as the boundary.

Since the defeat of Li Jingda, the king of Qi in the Tang Kingdom, Li Jing of Jiangning Mansion has been mobilizing troops to recover the lost territory, and now Wu Yueguo's offensive has been reduced, Li Jing is worried about the Zhou army in Jiangbei, and he is pleased that Shouzhou has always been in the hands of the Tang army, but Li Jing does not like the military, so he has not paid attention to military details.
