Chapter 52: Xiliang and Northwest Fall

The news of the fall of Yinzhou and the fall of Shazhou has spread throughout the territory of Xiliang, except for the Liang King Motongshan sitting in Dunhuang, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry all went to the northwest, and even the prince who had just married put on armor and rushed to the battlefield with the guard battalion.

Since the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty, this is the first time that Xiliang has lost the city and lost land, and the righteous indignation of the Xiliang soldiers is different, the people of Xiliang are not beating their chests, and the bloody people led by veterans are even more sighing: "Xiliang is really not as good as a generation!"

The shame of guarding Dunhuang has not been eliminated, and at this time it is even more lost in the city, and many old soldiers have gone to the local government to ask for help to prepare for war, saying that they want to teach these little children how to fight.

Needless to say, many of the officials are from the military, and the old man's idea coincides, the noise of the whole Xiliang is quite boiling, if it is not for these old soldiers are still worried about the face of the king of Liang, the Dunhuang Thorn Mansion has been turned upside down at this time.

In the palace, Mo Tongshan turned a deaf ear to the hustle and bustle outside the door, and the white son in his hand fell lightly, making an unreasonable hand, and the situation was instantly turned over by himself, from offensive to gesture.

The old man in red sitting opposite originally had an idle expression, but when he saw this, he frowned slightly, and he refused to leave behind when he lifted a son from the flag box.

After thinking about it, the old man in red decided that this hand had nothing to do with the overall situation, but he couldn't guess why Mo Tongshan would let the first hand with him for no reason, but since the other party intended to show weakness, wouldn't it be in vain to blind the kindness of others if he didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue?

The chessboard and even the official, after the two of them made twenty-six moves, the chess game ended, the old man in red won half a eye, and Mo Tongshan was defeated.

The old man in red smacked his lips, and smiled a little sadly: "Zizi, I still remember that last year, I could still beat you Simu, and now your chess strength is about to surpass that of the old man." ”

"I'm afraid that this half-eyed difference, I have to practice for another year or two. "Mo Tongshan did not claim to be the king, in front of this old man in red, he has always been very modest, not about cultivation, about the past kindness.

The old man in red didn't say anything, leaned against the wall, showed a little doubt on his face, and asked, "Your chess hand really makes the old man can't understand it." ”

Indeed, if it weren't for that unreasonable move, the outcome would not have been known.

Mo Tongshan smiled bitterly and said: "If you say that this starting style, the opening layout, I still have the confidence not to fall behind, the end is naturally far from you, the official is a step by step life, if I can't let go of the first-hand advantage, I'm afraid that I will have to be cut off between a few steps, it is better to do a good job of defense first, stabilize the advantage and then slowly figure it out, so that I still have a glimmer of life." ”

The old man in red took the teapot on the table, filled it with a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "If you want to say that the generations of your Mo family are really interesting. ”

After removing all the twenty-six hands behind the unreasonable hand, the old man in red got down on his own, and the fall was simple, and in an instant, he had gone down to the fourteenth hand.

On the side, the old man in red said: "When your father played chess with me, he was not good at starting the layout, and before the eighty hands were all unreasonable hands that people could not touch, the more they came to the end, the more scary they were, the old man played chess with him and won one out of ten games, and that victory had to be won directly in the middle of the game by taking advantage of the front, otherwise once he was dragged into the official, the old man would definitely lose." I once asked your father how he played chess and how the layout worked? The old man didn't believe that he could see the end from the beginning. ”

Stunned, the old man in red fell into memories and muttered: "Your father said, just go down casually, whether it's useful or not, I'll talk about it later." ”

The old man in red looked straight at Mo Tongshan and said, "So your father seems to have done nothing in the thirty years of his reign, but when you inherit the prince, he has everything." ”

"Battlefield warriors, elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and masters of rivers and lakes......" drank a cup of tea, and the old man in red continued: "Counselor. ”

"You took that Xu Liangsheng as an apprentice for ......?" Mo Tongshan asked back.

The old man in red seemed to have fallen into a certain period of the past, he was stunned, and was silent for a moment, and the old man in red said with a straight face: "At first, it was indeed for some things back then, but later I found that this kid was a little interesting, and the old man really couldn't bear to see such a good seedling grow crooked." ”

Mo Tongshan looked at the old man in red with some doubts, waiting for the old man's next words.

The old man in red had finished playing at this time, and gently dropped the last chess piece on the chessboard, and said in a deep voice: "That kid is bitter in his heart." ”

The old man in red got up and went out, leaving Mo Tongshan looking at the chessboard in a daze.

Starting from unreasonable hands, this deduction has a total of 30 second-hand hands. The first hand is no longer an unreasonable hand, but continues to continue the offensive, the white character 31 offensive is still the same, the sunspot is defeated step by step, and it is a foregone conclusion, and the sunspot will be defeated.

The thirty-second hand, the white character falls on Tianyuan, the general trend has been completed, and the victory is half an eye.

The sunspot falls on top of the white.

Mo Tongshan slowly moved the sunspot away, and found that the white son under it had been broken in half.

Smiling bitterly, Mo Tongshan knew the message that the old man in red had conveyed to him.

Now there is no top powerhouse in the palace who has returned to the true realm, which is the heart disease of this vassal king.

The whole army of Xiliang went to the northwest, and the three elites of Xiliang, the Pillow Ge Battalion, the Fuge Battalion, and the Xiaocai Battalion, poured out of the nest and marched to Guazhou, forming a confrontation with the Qiang army.

The Xiliang army, which had not yet figured out the specific situation, did not dare to move, and the Qiang army, which had not yet received supplies from the grassland, was waiting for the opportunity.

Only Xun Haitang alone couldn't bear it, if it weren't for Sima Yi's soldiers, he would have led his troops to the city of Shazhou.

But Sima Yibing also knew that Xun Haitang was when he was sad, and he didn't want to suppress it too much, he always persuaded him with good words, Xun Haitang was not a mallet who didn't care about anything when his temper came up, and he calmed down and waited for the fighter.

When Xiliang and Xiqiang were both standing still, the pot had already exploded above the court.

Today's early dynasty has just begun, in addition to the first auxiliary chapter let, the son inherits his father's business of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lanxu, the new military department Shangshu Xu Zimu, the court said in one voice, vowing to impeach the Xiliang King Motongshan for the crime of losing the city.

Regardless of faction, family, or background, they are all in a posture of wanting to die if Mo Tongshan does not die.

"Enough!" Zhou Qi slapped the dragon chair, stood up suddenly, and shouted, and the entire court was instantly silent.

"Detain Mo Tongshan in the capital? Do you still have brains!" Zhou Qi laughed angrily and said: "As soon as King Liang dies, you, you, or are you going to guard the country for me and defend against foreign enemies?"

Zhou Qiyi pointed to the few people who knelt down in the lead, and his voice was full of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty! The crime of losing the city and losing land in Motong Mountain is very great, how can it be done easily? The Xiliang Army is the army of our Great Wu, and it is not the hall of his words in Motong Mountain! The minister implores His Majesty to choose a good general and retake charge of the Xiliang Army." An old man with white hair kowtowed again, and his words had become an immortal trend.

Zhang Rang, who stood in front of his head and didn't say a word, frowned, and secretly scolded in his heart Fool, who doesn't know if this Xiliang Army is a word in Mo Tongshan?

But His Majesty can't say these things, no one can say them directly, looking at this situation, as the first and auxiliary prime minister, he must stand up and relieve His Majesty's worries.

"Xiao Yushi's words are serious, Your Majesty means that at this time, the Xiqiang army is coming to the city, and the generals are changed before the war, so you might as well wait for the war to end, wait for the defeat of the enemy army, and then talk about the guilt. Zhang Rang's words were still very pertinent, and many bureaucrats who knelt down to admonish also nodded, yes, it is not appropriate to change generals at this time, and it is not too late to talk about it afterwards.

Zhou Qi looked at Zhang Rang and nodded slightly, at the critical moment, it had to be Zhang Rang to solve the situation, and he was just impulsive and almost ended the matter into a dead knot.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yushi kowtowed again, the meaning could not be more obvious, and vowed to impeach Mo Tongshan until he fell.

"You!" Zhou Qi glared angrily at the imperial historian of the current dynasty, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Isn't Mo Tongshan the one who went to Beijing and beat your son back then?

Xiao Yushi shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, is the old minister a person who does not distinguish between public and private......?

Zhou Qi looked at Xiao Yushi coldly, Xiao Yushi's heart thumped suddenly, and what he was saying came to an abrupt end.

"Okay, according to you!" Zhou Qi coldly spit out three words.

Zhang Rang immediately couldn't sit still, What's wrong with Your Majesty? Once Mo Tongshan is condemned, no one can afford the consequences!

You must know that not only the 200,000 army of Motong Mountain can't be digested by the imperial court, but there are also the Xiqiang army within a stone's throw and the fifth family that has shown no subordination!

"Passed the decree, promoted to the right servant of the imperial Shi Xiao Ting, Lin Shangshu, led the post of minister of the military machine and the envoy of Longxi, and granted Lu Yu the right to cut first and then play, and then went to Dunhuang to arrest Motong Mountain; ”

This remark instantly made all the ministers in the court sweat coldly.

"Xiao Tinglin, you have to bring Mo Tongshan back to me, and ask him about his crime of losing the city and losing his land!

Didn't you Xiao Tinglin want to make a name in history? Aren't you a self-proclaimed gentleman? Don't you want to avenge your son? Okay, I'll give you a chance, thinking in my heart, Zhou Qi brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as the emperor left, the important ministers above the court left one after another, except for the three who had not impeached Mo Tongshan, and the rest of the people all stood in place.

No one thinks that Xiao Tinglin can bring Mo Tongshan back, I'm afraid that the head will be taken off by Xiliang before he enters Xiliang.

As for sealing his wife and children, it is just to let the Xiao family stay rich and prosperous for a long time after Xiao Tinglin's death.

No one helped Xiao Tinglin to come out, this mad dog-like imperial history has always been the master who only wants to win the name of history when he sees who bites whom, and he is not in any faction, but he is just consistent with everyone on the impeachment of Mo Tongshan.

What's more, who would fight with the emperor for a dead man?

It's not about yourself, it's right to hang high.

Although the imperial history is a speech official, he has the right to supervise and impeach when he hears about it, but in terms of rank, he is just a small official of the eighth grade, and now he is among the right servants of Shangshu and the left servant of the first auxiliary minister, Shangshu, and the same level can be said to be ascending to the sky in one fell swoop.

In addition to the courtiers who have worked hard and retired from official service, only Zhang Rang is the official position of the second grade above the court, and now there is a little-known Xiao Tinglin.

One step to the "sky".
