Chapter 182: The Art of War is Like the Art of Chess
The Shenyong army was in chaos, the chaos was unclear, the Wanyan impeacher took the people of the Wanyan tribe to surround Yelu Hongxiao, a few people beat a Yelu Hongxiao how to stare, and after a while, a warrior of the Wanyan tribe dragged him under the horse with a rope, and the rest of the people rushed up to tie him up and escorted him to Yelu Liangren,
The main generals were all caught, how to fight this battle, some of the brave soldiers rushed forward to save the main general, but they were blocked by the Pi Shijun guarding outside the palace and cut one by one; Some wanted to run back, but were slashed and killed by the forbidden army led by Xiao Ying, who surrounded them; Others heard that there were people from the Wanyan tribe in the Divine Warrior Army, and they couldn't tell who was beating whom, and their only purpose was to rush out of a way to escape.
This coke was broken by a few people watching the battle on the boulder not far away, and Yelu Hongji and the king watched as the phalanx of the Divine Warriors shrank little by little, as if they were being eaten.
"Look, Yelu Hongxiao's people beat themselves up, hahaha, it's so interesting." The guards who served Yelu Hongji couldn't help but stand on the stone mountain and look at the battlefield while laughing,
"No, it was still a large area just now, and now there are only a few hundred people left." Another guard said excitedly,
"Hey, there are a lot of people who have dismounted and surrendered, and there are still dozens of them, Leather Room Army, come on." Yeluhongki's guards couldn't help but shout,
Yelu Hongji laughed: "Wang Xianren, it is the first time I stand on the mountain to see this scene, there are 2,000 people in the Divine Warrior Army, and there is not much left in less than an hour, this is a bit like the chess played by your Han people, you see, the sunspot is the chess piece of Yelu Hongxiao, the white son is our army, and the white character surrounds the sunspot inside, and eats it little by little, by the way, what is that chess called." ”
"Holy Lord, that's called Go." The king replied with a slight smile,
"Yes, yes, it's that Go, your Emperor Renzong of the Song Kingdom also taught me, but it's a pity that my qualifications are stupid." Yelu Hongji squinted his eyes and smiled,
Now he is in a very good mood, the sound of fighting not far away gradually subsided, less than an hour, Yelu Hongxiao's two thousand Divine Warriors were killed and wounded, half surrendered, from this side of the mountain, Xiao Ying's troops were strict and there was no chaos at all, and someone began to count horses, swords, guns and equipment in the center of the battlefield, and some of the Divine Warriors who organized surrender were brought to a concentrated place,
Seeing that this battle was fought so easily, the king jokingly said: "Does Emperor Liao know why I, Emperor Song Guorenzong, like Go?" ”
Yelu Hongji looked at Wang Bian curiously, and Wang Bian smiled and said: "Once, I asked Emperor Renzong why he likes the next issue, guess what he said, he said: I said that I played Go to prevent myself from being infatuated with harem girls. ”
Yelu Hongji laughed when he heard this, and even the guards behind them laughed, and Wang continued: "Actually, this is quite reasonable, playing chess can strengthen self-cultivation, can also divert attention, and can indeed play a role in self-control, Song Taizong is also a chess fan, he played against Jia Xuan, Jia Xuan always deliberately lost to him, and as a result, Zhao Guangyi's boss was unhappy, in addition to the emperor's love to play chess, my father Wang Anshi, the scholar Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Su Shi are all chess fans. ”
Yelu Hongji nodded and listened, he was a Han fan, while drinking, watching the battle, listening to the king's narration, he couldn't help but say: "Don't hide it from Wang Shilang, your Song Kingdom's qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, I just don't know this chess, I have time, you have to teach me well, self-cultivation aside, just take the battle just now, I think it's like playing chess, it can be seen that Go can also be used in the art of war." ”
Wang next to the feeling that this will have to praise the emperor, just some results, although Yelu Hongji a Wang immortal, in order to let Yelu Hongji rest assured to lend troops to himself, always to reflect the value of the emperor of Liao, he looked at Yelu Hongji with an approving look and said: "The saint is wise, the Eastern Han Dynasty Ma Rong said in the "Go Fu": A little look at Go, the law is in the use of soldiers, the three-foot game, for the battle field, this layout, the middle game, the end, no matter which move to make a mistake, the whole game is lost, so the chess player needs to have a rare view of the overall situation, can not be too restrained, when you give up, you can still act at the opportunity, so if a far-sighted person like the saint, if he really wants to learn to play chess, I am afraid that there will be no opponent in the world. ”
Yelu Hongji was praised by the king, he laughed loudly, and the loud laughter echoed in the valley: "Wang Xianren, it seems that I am going to learn to play chess, but it is a pity that I am not prepared this time, otherwise it would be a pleasure for you and me to play chess and watch the game." ”
This emperor is really shining with a little sunshine, but Wang Bei smiled secretly in his heart but said: "I am not the opponent of the saint, if the saint learns to play chess, the only one who can play with the saint in ancient and modern times is probably only I, the first emperor of the Song Kingdom, Emperor Renzong." ”
Yelu Hongji was even more happy when he heard it, and even the sarcasm in the king's words didn't come out: "That's good, then I'll practice hard for decades, and when I ascend to immortal one day, I'll compare with Emperor Renzong of your Song Kingdom, hahaha."
The two of them laughed and laughed, Xiao Ying's troops evacuated with Yeluliang and the Pi Room Army, leaving only the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield and did the final aftermath work, Yeluhong
Ji's attendant whispered, "King Xiao is hiding again." One of the guards said,
"You say, the Wang Immortal still doesn't let the emperor go down the mountain, what are we waiting for here,......" They whispered,
Yelu Hongji looked at the three or five people and asked, "What are you muttering?" ”
One of the guards hurriedly said: "Qiqi Sheng, we are wondering when we will be able to return to Zhongjing, why is there no one to take us down the mountain now." ”
The king looked at their puzzled expressions and said with a smile: "There is a more exciting scene, don't you want to watch it?" ”
"Yes." Several people said in unison
Wang pointed to the north: "Rebellion is a big crime, Prince Mountain is an important place for the emperor's mausoleum, if the emperor uncle knows that his son has been arrested in Prince Mountain, he will definitely come here." ”
"What if he doesn't come." A quick-talking guard asked,
Wang Fang smiled slightly, if Yelu Zongyuan didn't come, where would the Luanhe Rebellion come from in history, but he always had to find an excuse for Yelu Zongyuan to come to Taizi Mountain, he pointed to the direction of the north and said: "If Uncle Huang goes north to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, there will be a Bohai Navy to intercept him; If he wants to take the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion in the northwest, there is a forbidden army stationed there to wait for work; If the imperial uncle went west to Zhongjing Dading Mansion, the Shenwu army that could have received him had already been taken away; The only thing he can come is to go south, to Taizi Mountain to find the emperor, and if he is lucky, he will find the throne, presumably he can't imagine that even if he comes, he will be caught and worship his ancestors together with his son. ”
Yelu Hongji's eyes lit up, and the guards couldn't help nodding, and Yelu Hongji said loudly: "Happy, Wang Xianren, is this the Go you just talked about, we have realized the layout, and now we are in the middle game." ”
Wang slapped his thigh: "Shengshang, you are simply a wise and martial artist, you have not learned chess before you know the way of chess, you are so right, you have already laid out the game, and now it is the mid-game game you are talking about." ”
The guards around him also praised as if coaxing: "The emperor is sage." ”
Yelu Hongji was said to be overjoyed, which made him happier than the fight that he had just watched a little farther away, especially when he thought of the imperial uncle Yelu Zongyuan, who should soon be at his feet, and captured the imperial uncle Yelu Zongyuan, he didn't care about the boredom on this stone for a few days, he laughed and said: "Okay, then let's fight another game in the middle game, and wait until the perfect ending, which is when Wang Xianren led the Bohai Navy to conquer the Japanese slaves." ”
Wang hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you Emperor Liao's holy grace, Wang is grateful." ”
Yelu Hongxiao waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you don't know when you are the king, I have already had a secret agent report, Song Yingzong took your wife as a hostage, and asked you to leave the Song Kingdom to go to Goryeo, when I really don't know anything, I am thinking that Renzong treated me well back then, and I thought that the border between Song and Liao was peaceful, so I lent you soldiers, otherwise." ”
He paused: "Otherwise, I will detain you in Liao Kingdom, and let you accompany this king every day, and I don't think Song Yingzong can help you." ”
Wang Bian breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't know what Yelu Hongji was following otherwise, hearing that Yelu Hongji was a secret agent in the Song Kingdom, Wang Bian was worried about his family, and hurriedly asked: "Since Emperor Liao knows everything, I don't hide it, this time in the construction of Taizi Mountain, I have not been in touch with the family and friends in the capital of the Song Kingdom, and I am also worried about it." He sighed,
Yelu Hongji looked at him and said with a smile: "I thought that you Wang Immortal could know everything, and you look at you, in terms of ability and strategy, which point is not better than that Song Yingzong, I feel sorry for you, I think you are not afraid of anything, it turns out that you are also a child and daughter." ”
The king smiled helplessly, and Yelu Hongji said, "Since I have said this today, I will tell you that your wife is still safe; Also, the envoy of Goryeo has asked the emperor of Song to send troops, and when we go down the mountain, your generals with troops from Song will also arrive, come to you to receive orders, I heard that the 3,000 naval army is being prepared, mobilized to Dengju, where can I send it to Goryeo by sea. ”
This can be said to be great news for the king, it seems that there is no vain in these days in the Liao State, how can he know that many officials in the Song State are moving around for him, and there are persuading the crown prince of Emperor Yingzong; There is Cai Xiang, who created public opinion to put pressure on the emperor; There are Wang Qi and others who should send troops to the emperor, in short, Yingzong sent troops, and the king couldn't hide his joy and asked Yelu Hongji: "Does the Liao Emperor know who the general who came to ask for his life is." ”
Yelu Hongji shook his head: "I really don't know who you are from the Song Kingdom, I really don't know, that's all the news I got, it is said that it is the descendant of Yang Ye, the general of your Song Kingdom." ”
Isn't Yang Ye the famous Yang Jiye in history, after the victory of Yanmen Pass, Yang Ye is famous, his descendants inherited his father's career, his son Yang Yanlang, grandson Yang Zongbao, great-grandson Yang Wenguang have made meritorious contributions in the war to defend the border of the Song Dynasty, and the folk story of the Yang family is based on their deeds, so who will be the descendants of Yang Ye,
