The Chancellor picked up a white chess piece and placed it down heavily. His face was full of confidence as he stroked his beard and smiled. "The game is set. General, you've lost again."
Xu Xiao didn't expose this mister's evil act of secretly changing the position of the black chess pieces. He pretended to admit defeat. "Losing to mister, Xu Xiao is honorable even though I've lost."
The old mister, who had almost no chess ethics, didn't feel guilty at all. He was refreshed and said, "Playing chess with you is indeed a blessing in life."
Xu Xiao stood up and walked to the map of Beimang. He slowly drew a route for the army with his finger. Mister Wang stared at the map with narrowed eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
Xu Xiao also didn't change his expression. It was the Chancellor who couldn't hold it in anymore. He said softly, "Chaotic, very chaotic. Cao Changqing added fuel to the fire in the Southern Court and they're about to make a big fuss. The Empress of the North has always disliked Buddhism. She wanted to worship Taoism and destroy Buddhism. She wanted to unify the religion for her own use and create a second Jianghu under her skirt. In the end, no one expected the Dragon Tree Monk to go to the Tao Te Ching Sect alone. He didn't listen to reason and just sat there, enduring the rain of arrows and swords for a whole ten minutes. General, you mobilized the Long Xiang Army at this time. Aren't you afraid that the North Court and the South Court will work together to deal with your Beiliang cavalry? "
Xu Xiao's back was slightly hunched. He looked at the map and said calmly, "Beimang is not as rich as the Central Plains. The Imperial Tent has been short of money for the past few years. Feeding the twelve generals and maintaining a standoff with the Beiliang Army and Gu Jiantang on the Eastern Front is already the limit. There is still a long way to go before that old woman wants to swallow Beiliang in one go. If the army is strong, it needs real money. Where will the money come from? How could she not be envious of such a fat sheep? In the past, she did not dare to slaughter the meat because Bodhisattva Tuoba and the other Preceptors did not approve of it. But now, with the Qilin State Preceptor who was regarded as a Taoist saint, and with the support of the other generals, Bodhisattva Tuoba could only watch coldly from the sidelines. The annihilation of Buddhism was already set in stone. Whether I send the troops or not, it would not delay the old woman's action. Not to mention the abbot of the Two Zen Temples, only the Buddha himself would be able to do it. She was indeed forced into a corner by our border policy in recent years. Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang's alliance was very effective. These two bastards also forced Beimang to use all its national strength to fight with my Beiliang cavalry. The Beimang Empress wanted to eat up the financial resources of the Buddhism in the country and then swallow Beiliang in one go. Only then would she be able to bypass the Eastern Front that was getting more and more stable. She would then be able to move south and occupy Xishu and Nanzhao. With food and soldiers, it would be time to fight with the Liyang Dynasty for the world. Those who were qualified to talk and fart were well aware of this intention. This was Zhang Julu's ability to scheme in the imperial court. Originally, if the Eastern Front was too weak, Beimang could have directly borrowed several great generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Western Front and sent four hundred thousand cavalry to the Eastern Front. They would have crushed the Eastern Front into a sieve. First, they would have taken over Tai 'an City and become the ruler of the world. Then, they would have turned around and targeted Beiliang. This way, I would have lived longer than him and Gu Jiantang. I believe that in the whole world, only that coquettish woman who flirts with me every now and then would be happy to see me. Other than her, there is no one else. "
Sir Wang nodded in deep agreement. "Green Eyes is like me. They both play a good game of chess."
Xu Xiao smiled. "Originally, this was a game of chess that would have lasted for at least twenty or thirty years. However, both sides were impatient. Compared to Beimang, the Empress was even more impatient. This was because Zhang Julu controlled the military and politics of the Northern Front with one hand and digested the power of the old Eight Countries of Spring and Autumn in the south with the other. Most importantly, this Grand Secretary prevented the Emperor from trying to emphasize culture and suppress military force to a considerable extent. This made the tension of our dynasty far greater than that of the resource-poor Beimang. The longer we dragged it out, the greater our advantage. Our Liyang, after unifying the Spring and Autumn, can be considered to have a truly large family and business. It can withstand the torment. In addition, we have a diligent mender like Zhang Julu. If I were the Emperor of Beimang, I would feel uncomfortable all over. Who the hell would want to be neighbors with a well-off and well-educated man? Wouldn't that be like being bullied every day? "
The Chancellor of the Education Palace laughed. "Great General's words are coarse, but they are reasonable."
The old man sighed with emotion. "People who live high in the library say it's peaceful, but they always think that as long as they go out, they can manage the world and help the people. They can turn the tide in a desperate situation. They make it so that governing and pacifying the world is as easy as writing a few words at their fingertips. The danger is no less than that of a military town's separatist regime. These words were personally spoken by Green Eyes in front of the Emperor. As a scholar who reached the Zhuangyuan rank, to be able to say such a thing, it can be seen that he is very suitable to be the Grand Secretary. No wonder Zhang Julu can be the Great General's opponent. Hey, Great General, we are thousands of li away from the topic. "
Xu Xiao continued to point at the map; he said with a laugh, "My thinking is different from Teacher's. This time the Long Xiang Army is going to the north, not only they want to fight a battle, they want to fight a tough battle. Picking up soft persimmons to pinch is not our Beiliang Army's temperament. Teacher is worried that if the Long Xiang Army wins the battle, those scholars of the Southern Dynasty, who have obtained riches and honor, will forget their ancestors and betray their ancestors, will hate the Beiliang even more. Actually, in my opinion, if the Beiliang cavalry does not teach them a lesson, those new nobles of the Southern Dynasty, who followed their fathers to flee to the north when they were young, will have their tails raised to the sky early on. They will have to be ruthlessly whipped before they know what is called fear. I want them to be afraid to the bone. These bastards are the same as those scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period, they can't remember what's good for them. Therefore, this time the Long Xiang Army is going to fight to the death with the first military town in Longyao Province, Tile City, which is ranked first in terms of military strength. The other military towns, Gentleman's Mansion, Li Gu, and Maolong, are all tough bones. They are not in the same line. The Long Xiang Army is going to take a detour and attack them one by one. "
The old teacher sighed with worry, "But the Long Xiang Army only has ten thousand. Not counting the troops and horses along the way, just the five towns alone have sixty thousand elite armored soldiers. They still have to face the two Beimang Great Generals face to face, is that okay? Ten thousand Long Xiang Army, how many people can they withdraw and come back? "
Xu Xiao chuckled, "I forgot to tell Teacher, our Beiliang's Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is also about to set out."
The Beiliang cavalry is the best in the world, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the best in Beiliang!
In this hot summer, the old teacher seemed to feel the chill, he pulled up his sleeve.
He muttered to himself, "But doesn't this mean that we are going to fight for real? It's not appropriate, it's really not appropriate. "
Xu Xiao pressed his palm on the map and said, "My son is there. Is this reason enough?"
