Chapter 10: Chess Determines the World (I)

Luo Tian saw that their eyes were not good, and he thought that if it weren't for Yue Fei's order, they would definitely make trouble for themselves, even so, what was there to fear, so he walked towards the main hall with his head held high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhen he walked to the bottom of the steps, a young general walked out of the crowd, it was Yang Zaixing, he was surprised: "Sure enough, it's Brother Luo, do you remember someone Yang?" Luo Tianchu saw that he was willing to greet him at this time, and called him brother and brother in public, which showed friendship, and bowed down and said: "The younger brother has seen Brother Yang, and Brother Yang finally voted for the master, which is gratifying." Yang Zaixing said with a smile: "Thanks to the persuasion of Emperor Ji, I made up my mind to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ā€

Although Yang Zaixing is a newcomer in the Yuejia army, he is brave when he fights, often defeating the strong with the weak, and he is invincible. After several major battles, he has become famous in the army, and his reputation has caught up with the five tiger generals.

Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Do you remember the first time we fought in Tianshui? Brother Yang beat me up a lot at that time." Yang Zaixing recalled the past, his heart was warm, and he smiled: "I was still in the enemy camp at that time, and there is no need to mention the ugly things." Now I can't compare to Brother Luo's martial arts. ā€

Dong Xian beside him was dissatisfied: "The surnamed Luo has killed so many of our brothers, and General Yang still calls him a brother and a brother, aren't you afraid of chilling everyone's hearts?" Since Yang Zaixing was reused by Yue Fei, the most unconvincing person was Dong Xian, who always thought that he was the latest to join the army, and he was born in a rebel army, so he was not worthy of being on an equal footing with himself. If you meet Brother Luo on the battlefield, either he dies or I die, but when he is not on the battlefield, the brother is still a brother, and even Yue Shuai can't control Yang's personal relationship. Dong Xian didn't expect Yang Zaixing to ridicule him in public, he blushed, and said angrily: "There is really a common language between thieves and thieves, I think you might as well go back with him and continue to be a thief." ā€

Yang Zaixing's eyes were cold, and he clenched the tiger's head and silver spear. Word for word: "Dare to say it again." Dong Xian sneered: "Do you want to do it?" Dong is willing to accompany him. Both of them have a hot temper, the more they talk, the more stiff they become, the generals can't persuade them, Luo Tianchu also feels embarrassed, secretly blamed himself for tying Yang Zaixing, Wang Gui next to him glanced at Yue Yun, Yue Yun understood, and hurriedly pushed the door into the hall.

Just when the two were tense, Yue Yun walked out with a white-faced scholar, and that person was Zhang Xian. He coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Have you made enough trouble, do you want the guests to see the joke?" Zhang Xian is the number two person in the Yue family's army, he is amiable and gentle, but he is the first of the five tiger generals in terms of martial arts and intelligence, everyone has given him the title of "deputy marshal", and even Yue Fei has to refer to his opinions for some major decisions. The second general didn't dare to make any more trouble when he saw him appear, so he obediently retreated. Yang Zaixing said: "When Brother Luo is finished, we will drink together again." Luo Tianchu said: "Definitely." Zhang Xian smiled slightly and said, "Lord Luobao, please." Luo Tianchu stepped into the hall.

There are two people sitting on the peach wood high chair in the middle of the hall, the person on the left is a white-faced Song official about fifty years old, dressed luxuriously, with a graceful posture, and a sense of superiority in his demeanor, a pair of narrow eyes are shining, and his martial arts are not weak, he must be the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun. Luo Tianchu's eyes were attracted by the middle-aged Confucian general on the right, his appearance was unforgettable at first sight, his cheeks were thin, his complexion was slightly dark, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which added to his mature temperament that had been through vicissitudes, with a straight nose and red lips, and a black beard floating on his chest, especially those eyes that were introverted and restrained, real and unpretentious, showing simplicity and perseverance, majestic and wise, and full of personal charm.

He smiled amiably, without any handsome shelf, giving people a feeling that he could be completely trusted, and he knew that it was Yue Fei without asking. Yue Fei looked at Luo Tianchu with a smile and said, "Lord Luobao, I'm glad to meet you." Luo Tianchu also had a good impression of Yue Fei, and when he was about to give a salute, he suddenly heard Zhang Jun snort coldly and said: "Luobao Lord Mingzhu secretly invested and helped the Emperor to abuse, don't you feel ashamed?" Luo Tianchu said: "Your Excellency is Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, I don't know who you are ashamed of?" Zhang Jun said: "The official family is not at ease with your Guanzhong Righteous Army, afraid that you will rebel, it is Wu Jie's own letter of guarantee to protect you, and you turned around to help Dongting anti-thieves fight against Wang Shi, are you worthy of the trust of Wu Jie's envoy, shouldn't you be ashamed?" Luo Tianchu said: " There is one thing that Prime Minister Zhang may have overlooked, that is, the land of Guanzhong was not given to me by the officials, but my Blood Knife Fort soldiers were taken from the hands of the Jin State, how much blood and sweat were paid, how many soldiers were killed, your court did not know, it stands to reason that we do not need to be restrained by the Song Dynasty, but in order to unite as one and jointly resist the Jin, our Blood Knife Fort is willing to be the barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, and repelled the Jin army's eight attacks in just two years. Our efforts have not been supported by a tael of silver from the Great Song Dynasty, but we have no regrets, may I ask what is worthy of the trust of the envoy of Wu Jie?"

Zhang Jun snorted twice, and said: "The Dongting Gang is a chaotic minister and thief, and the lord of Luobao is an ally of my Great Song Dynasty, why do you help the enemy?" Luo Tianchu said: "The enemies in my eyes are only the Jin State and the Qi State, the former is a foreign race from the White Mountain and Black Water, slaughtering my people and burning my homeland, it is necessary to get rid of it quickly, and the latter is a puppet regime supported by the Jin State, although it is led by the Han people, it is no different from the Jin State, and it must also be removed." However, the Dongting Gang was a real uprising of the Song people, which was the result of long-term exploitation and oppression, and the official family was bent on pacifying the Dongting Gang just because it threatened his throne, which did not contain ethnic hatred, it was nothing more than a game of power. Yang Tai himself is eloquent and ambitious, if he is full-fledged, he will definitely fight against the Jin State with all his strength and recover the country of China, in other words, if he is the emperor, the current situation will be better. ā€

Zhang Jun said angrily: "It's the opposite! It's the opposite! Don't you know that Mrs. Yang colluded with the pseudo-Qi and intended to plot against my Great Song Dynasty, how could she still say such a rebellious remark." Luo Tianchu sighed: "In my opinion, Mrs. Yang's alliance with the Qi State is just an expedient measure to protect himself." If the two of you can give the Dongting Gang a chance to mend their ways, I guarantee that Dongting will never be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty again, and they can also help the Great Song Dynasty to fight gold together. Zhang Jun smiled angrily: "We wanted to persuade you to change your mind, but you made a preemptive strike, and there is no obstacle to arguing." Luo Tianchu said: "What I said is the truth, I don't know what the two of you mean?" Zhang Jun said: "Impossible, the Dongting Gang is located in my Great Song henchman, if it is in the throat, it must be pulled out, and the outside must be settled first, if we take advantage of the weakness when we fight against the Jin Kingdom, it is not extremely dangerous." Luo Tianchu sighed: "In the end, the official family still doesn't believe in the righteous army, if you want to kill everyone else, and they will be captured, they will definitely resist to the death." Zhang Jun said: "For the long-term stability of the Great Song Dynasty, even if there is a loss, it will not hesitate." ā€

Luo Tianchu chuckled and said, "Long-term peace and stability... I'm curious if the Blood Sword Fort is not in Guanzhong, but in Dongting, it will be impossible to escape the doom of being destroyed. Zhang Jun said: "This prime minister does not answer hypothetical questions, as long as you are willing to return to the imperial court in the Blood Sword Fort and serve me loyally in the Great Song Dynasty, you will be added to the rank and knighted, and the reward will be unlimited, you will not have this kind of concern." Luo Tianchu said lightly: "The court is narrow-eyed, the amount of gas is small, even Zong Ze, Li Gang, Zhang Suo and other loyal ministers and famous generals are not reused, which makes people feel cold, even if they are obedient, they are also subject to the nest of gas, but it is not as free as now, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who can help me?" Zhang Jun glared and said: "You... You are so bold, you are so arrogant with few achievements, if you play the Ming Shengshang truthfully, your Guanzhong will be the next Dongting!" Luo Tianchu sneered: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is a smart person, can't you think that you know how to win over me, didn't Jin Guo win me over? If Da Song really wants to break the net with me, I can only protect myself like the Dongting Gang, and what will happen at that time, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng will definitely be able to guess. Zhang Jun frowned and said, "Are you threatening your true appearance?" Luo Tianchu said lightly: "You threaten me first." ā€

Yue Fei, who had never interjected, suddenly coughed lightly and said, "The two of them have their own opinions, and neither of them can convince the other party, so it is better to reserve their opinions and think more about them from the other party's position, maybe they will be able to understand each other." Luo Tianchu smiled: "Yue Shuai is still pertinent in his words." Zhang Junqi said: "Pengju thinks what he said is reasonable?" Yue Fei smiled and did not answer, and said: "If Prime Minister Zhang Cheng doesn't mind, can you let the lower official and the lord of Luobao be alone for a while?" Zhang Jun was stunned, although he was very reluctant, but he had to say: "Okay, I'll go to the inner hall and wait." ā€

When there were only two people left in the hall, Yue Fei and Luo Tianchu got up and plugged the hidden hall door with a wooden bolt, came back and said with a smile: "How about the chess skills of the master of Luobao, why don't you talk about a game with your hands?" Luo Tianchu glanced at the Go on the table, and said in amazement: "Yue Shuai wants to play chess now?" Yue Fei said: "I don't know if the lord of the castle can appreciate the light?" Luo Tianchu's old face turned red and said: "I only know the rules in the next game, and I don't know how to do it at all, so I don't dare to show ugliness." Yue Fei laughed and said: "I am a farmer, and I only know the rules, and I have never studied it intensively, so the castle master does not have to worry." Luo Tianchu said: "As long as Yue Shuai has Yaxing, the kid will naturally accompany him, but I don't know what Yue Shuai's move means?" Yue Fei said: "A good soldier will love chess, the chessboard is like a battlefield, and the siege of the city is all in your thoughts, the castle master might as well imagine this game of chess as the epitome of this war, how about you and I practice it first?" Luo Tianchu said with great interest: "I see, this chess game is not about chess skills, but strategy, then I might as well be respectful." Yue Fei smiled: "Please." (To be continued.) )
