After taking a sip of butter tea, Qu Zhidao felt the warmth from his fingertips, and chuckled: "Liman, how long has it been since you and my master and apprentice played chess, and today is a good interest for the teacher, how about two games?" ”

The chessboard is sequoia, red sandalwood heart, Ruilong's brain chess pieces, very precious, this chess is the marriage of Princess Lihua, Qu Zhidao likes to play chess, Li Man gave it to him. The chess pieces made a crisp sound on the chessboard, and the falling pieces were fast, and a few hands seemed to be set without thinking about it, and soon more than ten chess pieces were placed on the chessboard.

Qu Zhidao tapped Baizi on the chessboard with his hand, and said seemingly casually: "The world is unpredictable like chess, and the opening formula is to seize the opportunity, and look carefully." ”

The white chess fell, Li Man was stunned, this move was different from the previous play, I don't know what the intention is. Li Man lowered his head and pondered, Qu Zhidao took a sip of tea, and said: "To deal with Jiang Anyi, we must make good use of the 'flank attack' and unite the strength of everyone to sue the situation." "The pincer attack is a method of wrestling, relying on a strong external momentum to attack the opponent's chess pieces from the other side, forcing it to move to their own thick wall or flee, just how to start the flag from the Zheng side.

Qu said slowly: "The report said that Zheng **qing made Huang Xi and Jiang An not get along, and this person is the deputy governor of the secret guard, so he might as well borrow his hand to attack." ”

Li Man dropped the sunspot, raised his head and asked, "Even if Huang Xi has an enmity with Jiang Anyi, how can he attack Jiang Anyi with us." ”

Qu Zhidao was in a really good mood today, and patiently explained: "We only need to send him the information that Huang Xi needs, and Huang Xi will do the rest for us." ”

"Oh, what information do we have to give to Huang Xi?" Leigh asked puzzled.

Qu Zhidao put the chess pieces on the plate, and replied unexpectedly: "That Jiang Anyi and the saint have a good relationship, the last time Zheng people went to the royal court for peace talks, the saint also specially looked for Jiang Anyi to talk about the past, which led to the later golden wolf horse pursuit, Wang Keming ambush and other things. ”

Li Man immediately came to his senses and said, "The master wants Zheng Ren to think that Jiang Anyi is collaborating with the enemy." Let's not talk about whether Huang Xi will act according to our intentions, then Emperor Zheng Guo will not be so stupid as to distinguish between right and wrong and self-destruct Gancheng. ”

Qu Zhidao sighed loudly: "The world is like chess, who can predict it, towards the goal and fall, and when the general trend is achieved, Jiang Anyi will be unable to fly, even if Emperor Zheng knows that he is framed, for the sake of the overall situation, he can't help but abandon his son." I'm old, I can't run for you for a few years, if I can force Jiang Anyi to defect to the Northern Desert, I can be a teacher. ”

Li Man sat up straight and said sentimentally: "Master, I still want to avenge your southward trip to the Central Plains, choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to let you die old, you must not let me regret it." ”

Qu said with a smile: "I am nearly seventy years old and can still support a few days, Liman, you have to sweat as soon as possible, if you really enter the Central Plains one day in the future, bury my ashes quietly with my family." My hometown is the place where the bones are buried. ”

Li Man diverted the topic and said: "Master, Zheng Jun has changed the coach, I want to attack Zheng Jun in the near future, but unfortunately the level of those craftsmen is too low, if I can imitate more than 100 thunderbolts, I will definitely be able to take Zhenbei City." ”

"Although the thunderbolt is good, it should not be overly relied on, the strength of the indifferent people lies in the field battle, if you blindly rely on ordnance, you will lose a lot because of a small loss. And thunderbolt

When the thunderbolt was launched, the noise was too loud, and I noticed that many horses were frightened, and if more than 100 were launched at the same time, I was afraid that it would be chaotic on its own, so you must pay attention to what way to solve it. ”

Qu Zhidao continued: "It's not bad for Zheng to use soldiers, the knife must be sharpened often to be fast, and it is good to cut some meat from Zheng Jun's body sporadically, so that Zheng people have a fear of the desert. By the way, didn't the Dharma King send Master Kalu to help in the army, you might as well let him go to Zhenbei City to negotiate, with his

The ability to find out a lot of useful military information. ”

When His Holiness Badorje returned to the Holy Mountain, he left Karyu and Venerable Benhu behind, and at the same time left several Venerable Masters and Venerable Ones behind to protect Liman, and the assassination of Enhan in the army was a lesson, and the capture of Emperor Zheng in Leha's assassination showed that there were masters in the Zheng army, and protecting the safety of the commander and generals was the most important.

The sound of chess "tuk tuk" accompanied the whispering of the two until late at night.

…………

Zhenbei City, after the Son of Heaven left, it was much more deserted, walking on the street, passing by was a team of patrols, and the wind blew the ironclad bells. The Son of Heaven took King Luohuai, Wang Keming, Kong Province and others away, Jiang Anyi was not in the ranks of the south, and the entire Zhenbei camp, including Zhenbei City, was under the command of the new marshal Qi Xinwen. Qi Xinwen obviously didn't have a good impression of Jiang Anyi, so he invited Jiang Anyi out of the marshal's mansion, let him move to the official house next to the palace, and let him continue to write a major event with more than a dozen military counselors, actually putting Jiang Anyi aside.

In late September, the Mo people launched several attacks on the Zheng army camp outside Zhenbei City, and the Mo army returned without relying on the support of Zhenbei City. In October, Mobei was covered with ice and snow, and the snow was as thick as two feet, and the horses could not run at all in such weather, and even the Moren were unwilling to fight, so the peace talks became close again.

There are a few more people in the peace talks mission of Moguo, and it has not attracted much attention, this old man named Cardoshi in his fifties is an authentic Zheng Guotong, who knows Zheng Guo's customs and customs well, and talks about Zheng Guo's poems, books, scriptures and righteousness, and Chen Yinguang can talk for a long time when he talks with Chen Yinguang.

This deputy envoy is very familiar with Jiang Anyi's poems, and has asked to see Jiang Anyi several times, but of course Chen Yinguang will not agree, this deputy envoy has great powers, and actually sent a letter of state to Shi Fangzhen, the son of heaven stationed in Linliang Mansion, Leizhou, through the royal court, asking Jiang Anyi to join the peace talks.

After arriving at Linliang Mansion, Shi Fangzhen's condition improved, and Shi Fangzhen was eager to end this Zheng Mo battle and return to Yongchang in a dignified way, so he immediately agreed to it. Jiang Anyi and the Holy Maiden of Moguo Tizhu are well known, and Shi Fangzhen also gave Jiang Anyi a secret decree, asking him to try his best to fight for Zheng Guo.

Jiang Anyi, who has nothing to do, finally has an errand, but this errand is not a beautiful errand, as a deputy envoy, Jiang Anyi seems to have taken away the scenery of the envoy Chen Yinguang, and the desert delegation is very respectful to Jiang Anyi, and that Cardoshi is even more like a treasure when he sees Jiang Anyi, and puts aside the business of peace talks and pulls Jiang Anyi to discuss poetry, and his words are full of admiration, which makes Chen Guangyin very annoyed, and repeatedly accuses Qi Dashuai of Jiang Anyi's lack of business.

The enthusiasm of the desert people is exceeded

Within the normal range, he sent some gifts from time to time, saying that it was given to him by the Holy Maiden Tizhu, of course Jiang Anyi would not be fooled, and he sternly refused, and some gifts were sent to his residence indifferently, and Jiang Anyi had to hand them over to the Shuai Mansion. This made Chen Yinguang very surprised, as a positive envoy, why didn't he see the indifference people sending things.

Qi Xinwen Bai This is a discordant tactic used by the indifferent people, how many indifferent horses Jiang Anyi killed on the battlefield, it is impossible for him to be co-opted by the indifferent people, what can the indifferent people give him, does the holy woman want to recruit him as a husband, Qi Xinwen smiled dumbly, even if the holy woman is willing and those indifferent people will not agree.

Qi Dashuai is a person who understands, but there are not many people who understand, and there are some people who are right and wrong, so all kinds of rumors are making waves in secret, and when they reach Jiang Anyi's ears, he is quite distressed, and he doesn't know who to tell if he wants to tell the difference. Alas, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know say what I want.

The days in Zhenbei City were boring, Jiang Anyong would occasionally take Park Tianhao and others into the city to visit him during the break, Jiang Anyi would personally cook and treat the brothers, and everyone drank and laughed together and spent a good time. In addition to the arrival of his brothers, what Jiang Anyi is looking forward to the most is the family letter, his mother and Yan'er's, Xinfei, Tong'er, Dong'er and their children, the family letter is worth 10,000 dollars, whenever he receives a letter from home, Jiang Anyi always has to look through it again and again, savoring it, seeing that this year is coming to an end, and he doesn't know when he will return, how not to sigh.

In November, there was a letter written by Guo Huaili from Huazhou, in which Guo Huaili first said about the business situation, Jiang Anyi Yu Ze is especially there, Huazhou's industrial development is good, especially Xiangxueju has become the most famous gold cave in Huazhou, and several other manors built in accordance with the style of Xiangxueju have also begun to make profits, plus perfumes, wines and other transactions, Guo Huaili estimates that this year's profit will be more than two million. Money is a good thing, no one will be afraid of having a lot of money, the Jiang family, the Guo family, the Yu family, and the Li family, who joined later, are already considered big conglomerates in Zheng Guo.

"Anyi, the Western Regions have not been peaceful recently, Rong Miguo and Tian Weiguo have fought two battles, and now they are sitting down and talking. In October, several merchant groups were looted by the sand bandits, and some people say that the army of Rong Mi was disguised, and the border is becoming tighter, so I plan to temporarily shrink the trade to see how it goes. I haven't been back to Texas for a few years, my father wrote to say that he wanted to meet his grandson, I was going to take my wife and children back to Texas to visit relatives for the New Year, I heard that Yan'er was back, I really missed her......"

The words in his mouth evoked Jiang Anyi's memories, and the bits and pieces of interaction with Guo Huaili came to his heart, and the friendship that had been brewed after years of precipitation was like a pot of wine, which made people have endless aftertaste, and felt warm in this cold winter, which also calmed Jiang Anyi's depressed mood.

There has been some substantial progress in the peace talks, and the two sides have reached an agreement on mutual trade, but there are still some disputes over specific commodities; The exchange of prisoners of war was basically negotiated, but Zheng Guo asked for one for one and Mo Ren for three, and Qi Xinwen received the secret decree of the Son of Heaven and could exchange one for two. The difficulty of the negotiation was that Mo Guo promised Zheng Guo a peaceful ending, but demanded compensation of 2 million taels of silver, 500,000 stones of grain, 200,000 horses of silk, 100,000 quintals of tea and other materials.

In order to show Moguo's attitude, Li Man launched two attacks, both of which hit Zheng Jun's shortcomings, Qi Xinwen was furious and ordered the Military Intelligence Department to investigate who leaked the military information.
