Chapter 857

(Thank you Ye Duduzui for your reward, thank you!)

In Hezhong Prefecture, Hedong General Army, Hedong General Army, Hedong General Army, Hedong General Army, Hedong General Army, and Beidu, the Minister of the Northern Capital, Zheng Congqi, the Prince of Xingyang County, wore a light fur, black fur, with a black squat head cross-legged and a scar-faced black crow, and Li Ke'er, who was one-eyed and scar-faced. Opposite them were Heliandu, the governor of Zhenwu, and the second commander of the newly-grateful King of Han Wang Chongrong. The four of them were drinking iced green cider and playing "Four** Chess." From time to time, guards brought the roasted venison from outside the tent, respectfully placed aside, and then quietly retreated.

These four ** chess originated from the Qin vassal state and are said to have been made by Li Jing. They are as simple as mahjong, checkers, goblins and other mini games. They are simple but fun. Especially the military chess in them are full of war elements, especially the soldiers like them. They have long been popular throughout the Tang Dynasty. It is said that even the emperor Li Yan often takes the imperial guards in the palace to play military chess together, which makes the generals in the towns in the world also follow this game.

If it was said that the original elegant game was Go, the most common one was chess. Literati must be able to play Go, but there were many Go on the streets of the teahouse. Now, most of the military plays military chess. In the free time in the army, the soldiers in the military tent had nothing to do, so they played military chess there. Two-person military chess, four-person military chess, open chess, secret chess, and various methods. The rest of them gathered around to watch the battle, and even gambling some money and small things became popular, and the Shangguans did not care much about it.

At this time, the four generals of the Hedong Alliance Army played together, which was the four ** chess among military chess. There are four main ways to play military chess, two military chess, two Ming chess, four ** chess, and four countries double Ming chess. At this time, Zheng Congxian and others played the four ** chess.

The four people occupy four corners on the chessboard and are divided into two sides. The two opposite alliances confront each other and fight with each other;

The four people's chess pieces were all standing up, and Zheng Cong-si and Helianduo joined forces to fight against Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong. The secret chess of the four countries still need to be judged. At this time, the eunuchs of the army supervisors of the four towns stood on one side as the referee and made a judgment for them to touch the chess.

This kind of dark chess is a character that faces its own direction, with the mountain boundary as the boundary, and is arranged in a grid other than the camp. The walking route includes the route and the track line. The prominent and thinner one is the route. Any chess piece can only take one step on the route, and the thicker and black one is the track line and cannot stop on the front line. When there are no obstacles on the track, engineers can walk arbitrarily on the track line, and other chess pieces can only walk straight or pass arc lines on the track line, and cannot turn right angles.

The chess piece landing points include nodes, camps, and coach's mansions. Camps are a safe island. After entering, the enemy chess pieces cannot eat the chess pieces in the chess pieces. The military flag must be placed in the chess pieces. Any chess pieces entering the chess pieces cannot move anymore. The engineer has the ability to dig mines. At the beginning, they can place them and set the chess pieces themselves. The engineer also has reconnaissance ability. When the engineer encounters the enemy chess pieces, the enemy's chess pieces will be seen by all players, but the engineer will also disappear. The bomb cannot be placed in the first row, the mines can only be placed in the last two rows, and the military flag can only be placed in the commander's mansion.

The rule is that the marshal-governor-army master-army master-army master-bat master-dun-team leader-team leader-engines, the eldest son eats the boy, and if the piece is as big as the ball, they will disappear together. If the marshal disappears, the military flag needs to be displayed. When the bomb meets any piece, both sides die together, the mine cannot move, and the engineer can eat it. The bomb hits the mine and dies together, and the other sons hit the mine and die themselves. The military flag is pulled out by the other party, and no chess can be beaten and lost. The engineer can walk on the bend on the track.

This military chess is easier to buy than Go, and is more lively than chess. Moreover, because the soldiers can also command the marshal, generals, the generals, such as the generals on the board, make ordinary soldiers like this feeling of commanding thousands of troops.

Zheng Cong-sei was originally a Go master, but he also had some research on this military equipment. Compared with Li Keyong and Helianduo, who did not know how to play Go, he had a clear advantage. However, Li Keyong was a little fond of military chess, so he felt like he was a match for the opponent.

However, today we played the four** chess, and the landlords who were in alliance with him were the local landlords, the coach of Hezhong Town, Wang Chongrong. Wang Chongrong was not very lucky today. He ate the marshal at the beginning, and then Zheng Cong-seen blown up the marshal and directly lit up the military chess.

Next, Wang Chongrong became the target of Zheng Congxi and Helianduo's siege, and lost the governor and military commander one after another, leaving only one military commander to support him. It can be said that he was almost destroyed. Although Li Keyong was determined to save the situation, his brother Wang Chongrong suffered losses and was also a little distracted. Seeing that in a short while, Zheng Congxi's engineers had already flew straight along the track and pulled out the military flag of Wang Chongrong's mansion. At this time, Zheng Congxi and Helianduo's marshals and military commanders were both preserved, and the eldest son was almost lost. Li Keyong fought alone and obviously had no chance of winning.

After accidentally, Li Keyong's marshal was touched by Helianduo, and the governor was eaten by Zheng Cong-sei's marshal.

Seeing that the defeat was settled and he was unable to turn the situation around, Li Ke sighed and pushed the chess piece in front of him, and gave in.

Seeing Li Keyong admit defeat, Helianduo smiled and drank a sip of the cold and sour cider, and took a bite of the slightly cool roasted venison. He smiled and said, "The King of Jin is a little lucky today. Including this game, King of Jin and King of Han have already lost three games in a row to me and the Prince. He has given me, and he has given me. The precious white tiger skin of King of Jin will be sent to get the one hundred carats of salt that King of Han lost, but he agreed to take it out as military funds."

"Gu never misses the gambling bill, and I will send it to Prince Xiang in a while." Li Keyong shook his head, picked up a cup of wine, drank it all, and said, "Gu's old story today is brought up again. Gu's rebellious son Li Siyuan rebelled, Gu Zhengyu led his troops back to the town to quell the rebellion, and asked Zheng Zheng to allow him. If Marshal Zheng, Marshal Helian and Marshal Wang and others support him, the following generals are grateful and are willing to give three thousand war horses to each of them, and take out another six thousand as a thank-you gift to the other generals of the coalition."

Ten thousand war horses are by no means a small number.

Even if the land in Hedong is a horse-producing land, war horses are still precious strategic materials. If a war horse is taken to the Central Plains or the Huainan of Shannan, it can be sold at least 100 jin. This is the price before. If it is exchanged for grain, at a high price of at least 10,000 yuan per stone, it can also be exchanged for twenty stones of grain. Three thousand war horses in a family are equivalent to at least 50,000 stones of grain.

Even if Li Keyong now occupies the land of Daibei, he has experienced several major wars. After the defeat, Li Keyong has now taken out 15,000 war horses and probably has to give up half of his family property. Li Keyong is willing to pay off such a lot of money and only wants to lead his army back to Daibei, which shows how urgently he needs to go back.

There are 15,000 war horses, whether in Hedong Town, Hezhong Town, or Zhenwu Town, they can also get it, but they are definitely about half of the war horses in this town. Especially in the current situation of feudal states fighting, the cavalry are all soldiers of the vassal states in each town. Usually, they are all frugal armed cavalry. Who can give it to the war horses?

The Shatuo people were even more dominant with cavalry. They were dominant in the world and fought for the Tang Dynasty. They relied on the Shatuo cavalry. Now Li Keyong wants to take out the cavalry and give it to others. It can only be said that Li Keyong is really anxious.

Under normal circumstances, Li Keyong would never have made such a big move, giving away 15,000 war horses to others. But at the moment, he could only bear to let the child go to trap the wolf. In fact, since Li Keyong returned, killed Li Sizhao, and regained the 50,000 Shatuo military power that went south, he had been thinking about returning north.

However, Zheng Cong-sei, the coalition marshal, would not easily let him go.

When the generals of Hezhong went south to serve the king, Zheng Cong-si handed over the important task of attacking the Hebei vassal states to Li Keyong. He led the troops south to prepare for the rescue of Luoyang. As a result, just halfway through the road, Li Keyong directly rebelled and seized the Dai, Xinzhou and Weizhou in one fell swoop. Among them, Xinzhou and Xinzhou were snatched from the territory of Hedong Town.

After being fooled by Li Keyong for the first time, Zheng Cong-sei would never fall in the same pit for the second time.

When Li Keyong was heard from the death of Li Keyong, Li Jing came forward. Zheng Cong-chan did not take the opportunity to counterattack these untrustworthy people, allowing them to make meritorious service and send troops to go south to serve the king. Who would have thought that Li Keyong suddenly survived again, killed Li Sizhao, forced Li Siyuan to rebel, and even attracted 200,000 Hu people to go south.

If it weren't for Wang Chongrong, Yang Fuguang and others who said good things to Li Siyuan, and the emperor secretly surrendered to him, asking him not to pursue Li Keyong's past, Zheng Congxi and Helianduo, the old rivals of Shatuo, had long since released their horses to besiege Li Keyong. Now, Zheng Congxi barely maintained his kindness to Li Keyong, but that was also on the premise that Li Keyong was willing to continue leading Shatuo's army to fight for the king and recover Luoyang. If Li Keyong had any move to return alone, Zheng Congxi would definitely kill this ungrateful Shatuo's ungrateful wolf at the first time.

What's more, Zheng Congxian also received several secret letters from Li Jing. In the letter, Li Jing asked Zheng Congxian and the towns to drag Li Keyong and his Shatuo Army to the south, and he would personally lead troops into Daibei to fight against the Hu people invading the south, eliminate these Hu Chou in one fell swoop, and at the same time recover the Daibei land occupied by the Shatuo people. In the letter, Li Jing also agreed with Zheng Congxian that if the Qin army recovered Daibei, then the two prefectures of Xin Dai would be returned to the Hedong Town.

Because of this, Zheng Congqi, who had been dissatisfied with Li Keyong, actually wanted to trap Li Keyong, and borrowed Li Jing's hand to break through Li Keyong's nest, take down Daibei land, and take back Xin Dai two states.

Li Keyong had always wanted to return to Daibei, but although he had 50,000 troops, he was only a small group of the 200,000 Hedong coalition forces. If he didn't get permission, he would return alone, and would be attacked by Zheng Congxian and Helianduo. Li Keyong was still fighting with Li Jing. At this time, he finally reached a reconciliation with the emperor, but he dared not go to war with the Hedong coalition forces again. He just asked him to ask for it and promised various promises and benefits. Zheng Congxian was not moved at all. Now that he heard that Li Jing was leading the conquest of Daibei, he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

The Hu people went south with 200,000 troops, and the Shatuo soldiers from Yanmen might be enough to deal with the traitor Zhang Zimian and Li Siyuan, but if Li Jing also sent troops to depart from the North, the chances of victory would be very slim.

In any case, he had to return north, and for this, he did not hesitate to take out all his chips.

Compared to his own Daibei Genji, what is the only 15,000 war horses?

"The King of Jin is joking. I don't care about your Shatuo's housework, but now the troops are on the front line and will soon launch the battle to recover Luoyang. At this time, the King of Jin is going to return north. Could it be a joke?"

"Zheng Xiangguo forgives him. It is because Li Siyuan caused rebellion on behalf of the north, and now he has led the Hu people to go south. Since I am guarding the border for the emperor, I will be responsible for defending the territory."

"Li Siyuan led the Hu people to go south?" Helianduo sneered casually, "This is really funny. What's the saying about the other person who is responsible for the territory? This county prince remembers that King Jin seemed to be granted the title of King Jin by the emperor, but he was only the governor of Yanmen. Yanmen Town is under the jurisdiction of Dai, Xin, Wei, Xin, Wu, Ru, and Gui, but it seems that it does not govern the two prefectures of Yunshuo? Yunshuo is the territory of Datong Town, and Datong Jiedushi, I remember that it was Li Sizhao who had just been murdered for no reason. Now Li Sizhao's brother succeeded to the position of Datong Jie Zheng, and is not in Yanmen Town!"

Li Keyong's face was red and red after being blocked by Helianduo's words. His one-eye was spitting out fire. The scar even more protruded and looked ferocious.

"Li Siyuan is my Shatuo rebel general, and I will clear my door."

"Family affairs can be done after the state affairs. After the pseudo-Qi traitors in Henan, after the triumphant success, we have no right to ask about how the King of Jin wants to clean up the portals. But now, since King of Jin is in the Hedong King's coalition, he will be subject to his commander's restraint. If you want to leave for no reason, you should know the consequences!" Zheng Congsheng never had any good feelings for Li Keyong. At this time, he said, with a gun and a stick, and said with a strong threat. This is not only a verbal threat, but a saying and done.

Due to the court's intervention, he could not take the initiative to deal with Li Keyong, but if Li Keyong hit his military law head-on, he would never be ruthless.

"If Zheng Xiangguo is willing to help him, he is willing to take out another 3,000 high-quality war horses to give him!" Li Ke said gritting his teeth.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Cong-sei: "Your Majesty King of Jin is talking nonsense. Do you think you are a person who ignores the great affairs of the country for your own selfish interests? Don't forget why Your Majesty pardoned you for your successive rebellion? If you hadn't promised to sweep away the pseudo-Qi for the death of your vanguard, you would think that this commander could tolerate you until today?"

Zheng Cong-qi shook his head while saying, "If it weren't for your mercy, I would like to give you another chance. I have already beheaded you, so why leave you until now. You don't need to say anything else, so be at ease here, and prepare to cross the river to attack the thieves. If you are loyal to the king's affairs, Your Majesty will not treat you badly in the future. If you are half-hearted and have any evil intentions, you must be careful of the sharp sword on your head. Li Keyong, remember, from now on, I will stare at you at all times!"

"Okay, now you can step down!" Zheng Congxian shouted at Li Keyong mercilessly!
