Chapter 182 The Art of War is like Chess

The brave army was in chaos and unclear. Wanyan impeachers surrounded Yelu Hongxiao with the people of the Wanyan tribe. Several people hit a Yelu Hongxiao and stared at it. After a while, they were pulled under the horse with a rope by a warrior of the Wanyan tribe. The rest of the people coaxed and tied him up and escorted him to Yelu Liangren. ,

The main generals have been caught. How can they fight this battle? Some of the brave army rushed forward to save the generals, and were blocked by the Pishi army guarding outside the palace. Some wanted to run back and were killed by the forbidden army led by Xiao Ying who was besieged. Some of them heard that there were people from the Wanyan tribe in the brave army, and they couldn't tell who was against whom. Indiscriminate fighting, their only purpose is to rush out of a road to escape,

The coke was so happy that several people watched the battle on the boulder not far away. Yelu Hongji and Wang looked at the phalanx of the brave army shrinking little by little as if they were being eaten.

"Look, Yelu Hongxiao's people beat themselves by themselves, hahaha, it's so interesting." The bodyguard who served Yelü Hongji couldn't help standing on the side of Stone Mountain and looking at the battlefield, laughing,

"No, it was just a large area, and now there are hundreds of people left." Another bodyguard said excitedly,

"Oh, many people have surrendered on the horse. Now there are still dozens of them, leather room army, come on." Yelü Hongji's bodyguards couldn't help shouting,

Yelü Hongji laughed and said, "Wang Xianren, this is the first time I stand on the mountain to watch this scene. There are 2,000 people in the brave army, and there is little left in less than an hour. This is a bit like the chess played by you Han people. You see, the black man is the chess piece of Yelu Hongxiao, and the white piece is our army. The white character surrounds the black man in it, little by little. Eat it all. By the way, what's the name of that chess?

"Your emperor, that's called Go." Wang Zong replied with a slight smile,

"Yes, yes, it's the Go. Your Emperor Renzong of the State of Song also taught me, but it's a pity that I'm stupid." Yelu Hongji squinted and said with a smile,

Now he is in a very good mood, and the sound of fighting not far away has gradually subsided. In less than an hour, Yelu Hongxiao's two thousand brave soldiers were killed and injured in half, and half surrendered. From the top of the mountain here, Xiao Ying's army formation was strict and not chaotic at all. In the center of the battlefield, someone began to count horses, knives and guns, and equipment, and some organizations surrendered. The brave soldiers were brought to a concentrated place,

Wang saw that the battle was so easy. He joked, "Do the Liao Emperor know why I like Go, Emperor Renzong of the State of Song?"

Yelü Hongji looked at Wang side curiously. Wang side smiled and said, "Once, I asked Emperor Renzong why he liked the next one. Guess what he said. He said: He said that he played Go to prevent himself from being infatuated with the harem."

Yelu Hongji laughed when he heard this, and even the bodyguards behind them laughed. Wang side continued, "In fact, this is quite reasonable. Playing chess can strengthen self-cultivation and divert attention. It can indeed play a role of self-control. Song Taizong is also a chess fan. He plays against Jia Xuan, Jia Xuan always deliberately lost to him, which made Boss Zhao Guangyi unhappy. In addition to the emperor's love to play chess, my father Wang Anshi, scholars and doctors Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi and Su Shi were all chess fans.

Yelü Hongji nodded and listened. He was a fan of Chinese literature. While drinking and watching the battle, he couldn't help saying, "To tell the truth, Wang Shilang, your Song Dynasty's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, I just don't know this chess. If you have time, you have to teach me well, put aside your self-cultivation, and take it. Speaking of the battle on the paddock just now, I think it's like playing chess. It can be seen that Go can also be used for military tactics.

The king felt that he had to praise the emperor. He just had some results. Although Yelu Hongji was a king immortal, in order to let Yelu Hongji borrow troops from him at ease, he always had to reflect the value of the emperor of Liao. He looked at Yelu Hongji with a look of praise and said, "The emperor is wise. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Rong said in "Go Fu": Take a look at Go, the method is to use the army, the three-foot game, for the battle field, this layout, the middle plate, the end, no matter which step of the chess is wrong, the full game will lose, so it is necessary for the chess player to have a rare view of the overall situation, not be too restrained, when you give up, you can also see the opportunity to act, so like the emperor. If such a far-sighted person really wants to learn to play chess, I'm afraid there will be no holy opponent in the world.

Yelü Hongji was praised by the king. He laughed loudly, and his loud laughter echoed in the valley: "Wang Xianren, it seems that I'm going to learn to play chess, but it's a pity that I'm not prepared this time. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pleasure for you and me to play chess and watch the battle?"

The emperor really gave a little sunshine and said, "I am not the emperor's opponent. If the emperor learns to play chess, he is probably the only one who can play with the emperor in ancient and modern times."

Yelü Hongji was even more happy after listening to it. He didn't even hear some sarcasm in the king's words: "Well, then I will practice hard for decades. When one day I become immortal, I will compare with the Renzong Emperor of the State of Song, hahaha"

The two of them talked and laughed. Xiao Ying's troops withdrew with Yelüliang and the Piri army, leaving only the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield and doing the last aftermath. Yelühong

Ji's attendant whispered: "King Xiao is hiding again." A bodyguard said,

"You said that the immortals didn't let the emperor go up and down the mountain. What are we waiting for here..." They quietly,

Yelü Hongji looked at the three or five people and asked, "What are you muttering about?"

A bodyguard hurriedly said, "Your King, we are thinking about when we can return to Zhongjing. Why hasn't anyone picked us up the mountain now?"

Wang looked at them with a puzzled look and said, "There is a more wonderful play. Don't you want to watch it?"

"I want to." Several people said in unison

The king pointed to the north: "Conspiracy is a great crime. Prince Mountain is an important place in the imperial mausoleum. If Uncle Huang knew that his son was caught in Prince Mountain, he would definitely come here."

"What if he doesn't come?" A quick-mouthed bodyguard asked,

The king smiled slightly. If Yelu Zongyuan did not come, where did the Luan River Rebellion come from in history, but he always had to make an excuse for Yelu Zongyuan to come to Taizi Mountain. He pointed to the direction of the north and said, "If Uncle Huang goes back to the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo in the north, there will be a Bohai Navy to intercept it; if he wants to take down the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion in the northwest, there There is a forbidden army stationed and waiting for work; if the emperor goes west to Zhongjing Dadingfu, the divine army that could have taken over Yelu Hongxiao has been taken away; the only thing he can come is to the south and come to Prince Mountain to find the emperor. If he is lucky, he will get the throne. He must have thought that even if he comes, he will be the same as his son. They were caught and offered sacrifices to their ancestors together.

Yelu Hongji's eyes were bright, and the guards couldn't help nod. Yelu Hongji said loudly, "Come on, Wang Xianren, is this the Go you just mentioned? We have achieved the layout and now we have entered the middle of the game."

Wang patted his thigh: "Your Majesty, you are simply wise and martial arts. You have learned chess before you have learned chess. You are so right. You have set the game, and now it is exactly what you said about in the middle game."

The bodyguards around him also praised: "Your Majesty Shengming."

Yelü Hongji was said to be very happy, which made him happier than watching the fight a little far away just now, especially when he thought that he should soon be at his feet and capture his emperor's uncle Yelu Zongyuan, who was staring at his throne. He had been bored on this stone for a few days. He laughed and said, "Okay, then we We will fight another game in the middle of the market. When it comes to a perfect end, it will be when the Wang Xianren will lead the Bo navy to recruit Japanese slaves.

Wang hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the Liao Emperor. Wang is very grateful."

Ye Lu Hongxiao waved his hand: "O all right, all right, I don't know when you are the king. I have a secret agent report. Song Yingzong took your wife as a hostage and asked you to leave the State of Song to Goryeo. When I really don't know anything, I thought that Renzong treated me well in those years and the peace on the border between the Song and Liao countries, so I lent you soldiers. Otherwise."

He paused for a moment: "Otherwise, I will detain you in the State of Liaoning and let you accompany me every day. It is expected that Song Yingzong can't help you."

Wang was a little relieved. He really didn't know what Yelu Hongji was following. Hearing that Yelu Hongji was a secret agent in the State of Song, Wang was thinking about his family and hurriedly asked, "Since Emperor Liao knows everything, I don't hide it. This time, I have been working in Prince Mountain, and I haven't been with my family and friends in the capital of Song. I also remember it in my heart when I get in touch. He sighed,

Yelü Hongji looked at him and said with a smile, "I thought you were a fairy and you could know everything, and you look at you. In terms of ability, your strategy is not better than Song Yingzong. I feel aggrieved for you. I thought you were not afraid of anything. It turned out to be a child's love."

The king smiled helplessly, and Yelu Hongji said, "Since I've said this today, I'll tell you that your wife is still safe. In addition, the envoy of Goryeo has asked the emperor of Song to send troops. When we go down the mountain, your generals of the State of Song will come to you to take orders. I heard that the three thousand water troops are preparing. , mobilized to Dengzhou, where can I take the sea route to Goryeo?

The king's side can be said to be great good news. It seems that there is no waste of time in Liao these days. He didn't know that many officials in the State of Song were walking for him. There were the prince who persuaded the emperor; Cai Xiang, who created public opinion to put pressure on the emperor; and Wang Kui and others who reported that the emperor should send troops. In short, Emperor Yingzong sent troops. The king couldn't hide his joy and asked Yelu Hongji, "Do the Liao Emperor know who the general came to ask for his order?"

Yelu Hongji shook his head: "I really don't know who you are from the State of Song. That's all the news I got. It is said that you are the descendants of Yang Ye, the general of the State of Song."

Isn't Yang Ye the famous Yang Jiye in history? After the victory of Yanmen Pass, Yang Ye became famous. His descendants inherited his father's career. His son Yang Yanlang, grandson Yang Zongbao and grandson Yang Wenguang all made contributions in the war to defend the border of the Song Dynasty. The story of the Yang family general spread among the people is the root. According to their deeds, who will be the descendants of Yang Ye?
