The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 1: You have no worries about youth

"The spring bridge looks at the water and melts to the south, and a truss of Qingshan falls over the blue peaks. Qinyuan has fallen flowers and dew and wet, and the new wine in Baling is rich. Qinglongyao has double faults, and Danfeng is separated by nine layers. Eternal pedestrians parting place, I can't bear to chant the sunset clock."

Jiashen in the seventh year of the Longsheng Dayong, in the middle of spring, the spring is in harmony, the wind is sunny, the post road leading to Chang'an is like a stream of horses and horses, and there are more than tens of millions of merchants. Since the unification of the north in the first year of Longsheng , They negotiated a peace with Nanchu, and the two sides stopped by drawing the river. Although the undercurrent was turbulent, the two sides did not relax because of the superficial peace, but after all, it was still seven years of peace. The Yong Dynasty was clear and bright, the government was harmonious, the national strength was flourishing, and Chang'an was also growing. The prosperity, especially in the past few years, Dayong has devoted itself to the development of business roads in the Western Regions. Especially the construction of several post roads has facilitated business travel in various places. Chang'an has become the commercial center of the world.

In the endless stream of business travel, there is an inconspicuous small caravan rushing to the road unhurriedly. This caravan is temporarily formed by some small business travelers. The long road is long and large Soon after Yong reunified the north, it was inevitable that some bandits would come and go, so they walked in groups and tried to be safe. This caravan is in charge of a businessman surnamed Song, Song Jian. He is in his early forties and has been in the business for many years. He is shrewd and capable and has a bold temperament, so he was recommended by everyone to be the principal. Seeing the faint willow color of Ba'an, he raised his whip and pointed to the front excitedly: "Guys, there is Baqiao ahead. Let's hurry. We can rest in the stack before sunset." These business travelers are all. They were very excited, and they all responded. They all have a fixed cooperative store in Chang'an. As long as they arrive at the store, someone will help them settle down. Seeing that the destination is about to arrive, even the most calm people can't help but feel a little excited. . Among them, a thirteen or four-year-old boy was most excited, staring at the smoke and dust ahead.

Song Jian couldn’t help smiling when he saw this. This boy was called Yunlu. He was not a business traveler, but met travelers on the road. They were greedy for the journey and met bandits on the way. Although there were also bodyguard thugs in the caravan, but The bandits relied on their bows and arrows to seal the road. In a critical moment, the young man rode through to help them repel the bandits. Although this young man was not very old, his body like a tiger was infinitely powerful, and he could actually use the three-stone strong bow, his arrow skills were shocking, and he shot several thief with seven arrows. After expelling the culprits, everyone learned that the young man was going north to Chang'an to find his relatives, so they took him along at his request. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to bring one more person, and the young man’s archery skills can also come in handy. . Along the way, this young man was very diligent and smart, and his temperament was bright and cheerful. Although he only had more than a month, he has become the most popular figure in the caravan.

However, Song Jian is an expert in world affairs. He has already seen the unusualness of this young man. Although this young man is quite clever and capable, and able to bear hardships and stand hard work, judging from the small mistakes he made at the beginning, he obviously didn't do it. After these things, and although he has calluses on his hands and feet, it seems to be a result of martial arts training, and although he is young, he is proficient in writing. Although he is a first time out of the house, he has pointed out the scenery along the way for him. In just a few words, he knew it, and he was even able to ask some detailed questions. If it weren't for this young boy's young age, he would suspect that this boy was a secret spy sent by Nan Chu to Dayong. But seeing this young man with a curious look, Song Jian smiled. No one in Nan Chu, he would not send such a child to check on the military situation. Most of the children of a family have run away from home, and see this young man and martial artist. There are some achievements in both ways, and his family background must be extraordinary. But these things don't need them to worry about, as long as the teenager is not a spy, it will not affect their business.

Looking at the Baan scenery, Yunlu was very happy in his heart. It was the joy of finally reaching the destination after a long journey, but an inexplicable emotion made him almost unable to help sigh. I grew up in the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. I am used to seeing Wu Fengchuyue and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River with long grass and flying eagles. All the way to the north, I see that the spring in the north is also beautiful and moving, and there is a kind of vitality to make progress. Comparable, but compared to the scholar who sighed three steps in the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, he liked the young heroes who galloped in the spring breeze of the north. There are countless towns and villages along the way. Yunlu always feels that these Da Yong people are heroic and brave. Perhaps their lives are not as easy as those from Jiangnan, but they have strong self-confidence and pride in their expressions. No wonder my father always sighed, every time he mentioned the powerful enemy in the north, he sighed. He was already in his thirties, but he had already grown up. I was always wondering why in the South Chu was one of the best in power, and his father, who alone prevented the Yong people from going south to herd horses, was always frowning in private. Although Jiangnan was rich and comfortable, the soldiers and civilians were greedy for security. If it is against the hard-working Dayong, it must be a hard fight. Think of the Forbidden Army with rusty swords and guns in Jianye City, and think about the garrisons and township corps training in Dayong along the way. These should be only the second and third-rate military forces of Dayong. If the force is already in South Chu Above part of the army. In comparison, probably only the army under his father and General Rong who guards Jingxiang and General Yu who guards Jiameng Pass can fight Dayong. It is no wonder that although his father is at odds with the old fox, he is discussing peace with Da Yong. Always agree.

The real identity of Yunlu is Lu Yun, the eldest son of General Lu Can of Southern Chu. Although Lu Can was mischievous, he had no autonomy in matters of marriage. He was ordered to marry at the age of 18 and gave birth the following year. With Lu Yun, within fourteen years, he has three sons and one daughter. Of course, Lu Can’s most beloved eldest son Lu Yun, Lu Yun is almost the same as his father, although he was born in a prosperous and beautiful Among them, he loves bows, sabers, swords, and he almost learns martial arts from his family as soon as he learns to walk. He can shoot beasts with arrows and pick bandits with guns in his early ten years. He is a famous general.

With an identity like him, he shouldn’t have sneaked into Dayong. This time he ran away from home but assassinated a person. Speaking of it, Lu Can took advantage of the first year of Longsheng (the eleventh year of Tongtai) to take advantage of the northern Han After the war, King Qing’s rebellion was just quelled, and Dongchuan’s people’s heart was chaotic. After the attack on Jiameng Pass, Lu Can has become a well-known military leader in Nanchu. Even Shang Weijun, who is in power, has to worry about him. Three points. The villains in the Southern Chu Dynasty saw that the front could not shake Lu Can's position, so they attacked Lu Can from the side in every possible way. The fact that Lu Can had been taught under Jiang Zhe's school became the best handle.

He once served as the Hanlin of Southern Chu, but surrendered to Dayong, and married Princess Changle, who was once the queen of Southern Chu. Such an unfaithful Jiang Zhe has long been the target of the Southern Chu court. After the Jiangnan scholar is hot with wine, he can't help but scold Jiang Suiyun, the second courtier and thief. As Jiang Zhe's disciple, Lu Can, who has never claimed to have broken his robes with Jiang Zhe, cannot avoid being caught by the fish. . Although no one dared to denounce him back then because of Lu Can's contribution to defending Saji and the military power in his hands, there were still constant slanders in secret, and even a madman came to the door to urge Lu Can to "righteously destroy relatives." This situation lasted for a long time. Even if Jiang Zhe is now a great minister of the Yong Dynasty court, a magnificent county prince, and a captain of his horses, he has won the trust of Emperor Yong Emperor Li Zhi, but he will not be able to eliminate the storm of Nan Chu's condemnation against him. And Lu Yun could not understand why his father would rather be criticized by others than to cut off his righteousness with that person. Even now, he still sends envoys to greet him every year, even though that person is in a high position in Da Yongquan. It should not be so wronged.

Strong dissatisfaction has already been deposited in Lu Yun's heart. On Huadan this year, Lu Yun followed his father to the palace to attend a banquet, but was surrounded by Shang Weijun’s eldest grandson, Shangwen, with several similarly wealthy children in the garden. In front of him, he insulted his father for fornicating Dayong, and Lu Yun was furious and beat these dudes to their heads, which caused a catastrophe. When Lu Can questioned him, he just remained silent. He was punished by Lu Can using the family law. He lay in bed for half a month and he was confined to think behind closed doors. However, Lu Yun was born brave, thinking that if he had assassinated Jiang Zhe, then no one could blame his father. So I ran away from home while my father went to inspect the Yangtze River Defense. He was young, and Lu Can had strict rules and regulations on weekdays, so not many people knew him. He passed through many barriers and went all the way north to Chang'an. Looking at the distant and promising city of Chang'an, his heart was both excited and flustered. How could he assassinate the traitorous rebel under heavy guards and clean up his father's stigma, and he must never be known about his identity No matter how ignorant he is, he also knows what storms will be caused by the assassination of the majestic Emperor Yong Ma and the important ministers of Emperor Yong. He does not want to hurt his father, or follow the example of Nie Zheng in the antiquity. Disappear without a trace. Holding both fists fiercely, Lu Yun rode a horse to follow the caravan to Chang'an.

I just passed Baqiao, just as the murderous Lu Yun was also indulging in the bright spring light, suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes from behind. Lu Yun once watched by his father when he was training cavalry. This is a well-trained cavalry who is running, and from the neat and powerful horseshoes, it can be heard that this is a very elite cavalry, even the most elite cavalry under his father's command, and can't help but look back. I saw a cavalry with jumbled armor in the distance galloping forward. Lu Yun couldn't help taking a breath. This time the cavalry was aggressive, like a wolf like a tiger. Although the armors are different, they are all excellent warriors. A, I knew from their posture that this was a cavalry that had been tempered. Lu Yun looked intently, and saw that the one in the front of the cavalry was holding on to the popular flag, and the flame-like flag had a distinctive "Lin" on it.

Lu Yun and the caravan retreated to the side of the road. Almost instantly, the cavalry passed by. Lu Yun could see clearly. The crowd surrounded by the crowd was a pair of young men and women. , The man was wearing cyan casual clothes, he was about 28 or 29 years old. His appearance was handsome, with some wind and frost on his face, but there was an elegant atmosphere between his eyebrows, and the woman was about 25 or 26 years old. , A large cloak of fiery red costume, with a long bow and white feather arrows on the body, beautiful and beautiful like a flower, vigorous as fire, bright and charming with saucy heroism. When the two sides passed by, the young man seemed to turn his gaze inadvertently, and fell on Lu Yun, as if slightly startled, Lu Yun's heart was shaken, the man’s gaze had an unspeakable majesty in the gentle text. Zhou carried a vague murderous aura, which was the temperament that an outstanding general had. It seemed that he felt the man's distraction, and the woman also glanced at it. Lu Yun felt shocked again. The woman's aura was even more domineering, that was the majesty of commanding thousands of troops.

In a flash, the cavalry was gone, but Lu Yun was left in a deep shock. Is it possible that Dayong's generals are all such demeanor? No wonder his father would be frowning because of this.

At this moment, the voice of his companion heard.

"It turns out that Princess Hongxia has also arrived in Chang'an. He must have come to celebrate his birthday. It has been several years since the emperor passed away. This time it is the emperor’s forty-five years old birthday. The news from Chang'an all said they would celebrate their birthday. The state also sent envoys to celebrate birthday."

Lu Yun thought about who this Hongxia Princess was, but couldn't remember for a while, couldn't help but ask Song Jian: "Uncle Song, who is this Hongxia Princess? How does it look like this? How majestic?"

Song Jian smiled and said: "Xiaolu, you have never been to Dayong, I don’t know. This Dayong court is different from our Southern Chu. Women can also go to battle and kill the enemy. The one who just passed is Daizhou General Lin Tong. She was originally the Hongxia County lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. After Daizhou returned to Dayong, Emperor Yong was very polite to the Lin family and still retained her name as the county lord. This princess was not simple. He brought the Daizhou army to the guard. Yanmen, the last soldier in the battle, did not retreat. After the death of General Lin, she obeyed her father's order and voted for Dayong. Now although the head of the Lin family is Daijun Hou Lin Chengyi, Daizhou soldiers and civilians only obey Hongxia. The order of the princess. The person next to her must be General Wangji, Junma. General Wang was originally from Nanchu. He was the gatekeeper of Chu Junhou. He followed Jianghouye to Dayong and fell in love with the Hongxia princess at first sight in the East China Sea. It’s a pity that each is the owner, only the mandarin ducks and wings. Later Dayong and the Northern Han Dynasty fought, but the barbarians took the opportunity to invade Yanmen. The general king learned that his sweetheart was fighting in Yanmen, so he abandoned everything and went to Daizhou and County. The Lord lived and died together. Later, Lao Hou Lin married them before the battle before the decisive battle. Originally, General Wang was going to die together with Princess Hongxia. Fortunately, Emperor Dayong was generous and sent reinforcements in time, otherwise They probably died at Yanmen Gate."

Lu Yun could hear it, and said: "No wonder he is such a demeanor, he turned out to be a famous general who resisted the barbarians. I heard that in these years, Dayong would send troops to the barbarian grasslands to fight and hunt, and he must be Hongxia Princess. Hosted with General Wang Ji, no wonder they carry such a strong domineering murderous intent."

Song Jian nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Dayong has a lot of female generals. Not to mention others, Princess Jiaping, the eldest sister of the Hongxia princess, is a brilliant female middle-class woman who is as famous as Ningguo Changle Princess. A text and a martial arts are all characters who can shake the ruling and the opposition with one hand. At the beginning, Princess Jiaping cooperated with General Long and Da Yong, and defeated all the famous generals who could conquer Da Yong. At the beginning, Da Yong’s 400,000 army was besieged, and this The princess broke out of the siege. Dayong people said that the emperor was bound to recruit the Lin family at the beginning, and he treated the Northern Han royal family so courteously. Most of it was based on the face of the princess. Do you know? Before the general committed suicide, he entrusted his affairs to his Royal Highness Qi. Later, the matter spread to a lot of enthusiasm. His Royal Highness also admired Princess Jiaping very much, but the princess refused to agree. It was the Prince Qi who pursued two hardships. After three years, the princess finally moved her and nodded her head to allow the marriage. Three years ago, when Princess Jiaping and His Royal Highness Qi were married, Emperor Yong gave the marriage, and the Taishang and Yongding Jun, the original Northern Han Dynasty Lord personally presided over the marriage. However, it caused a sensation in the north and south of the Yangtze River. All the important officials of the Dayong imperial family and the imperial court participated. Not to mention, many important officials and generals of the Northern Han Dynasty also came to participate in the wedding banquet. The folk customs of the Northern Han Dynasty were so strong, and the Northern Han Dynasty destroyed the country at the beginning. After that, these people were either disarmed and returned to the fields, or abandoned their officials to retreat, and they were not willing to bow to their enemies, but after the wedding banquet, these people all rejoined the army."

Lu Yun’s expression was a little heavy, but he knew about it. When his father heard about it, he sighed a lot. He didn’t understand that day. Now that he heard Song Jian’s words, he figured it out. Qi Wanghe Princess Jiaping’s marriage represented the fusion of Dayong and the upper echelons of the Northern Han Dynasty. Dayong’s state affairs were at its peak, and it was naturally worse for Nanchu. No wonder my father was worried. Moreover, His Royal Highness King Qi was already a strong enemy of his father, and the addition of this Princess Jiaping made his father even more strenuous, not to mention the General Pei Yunpei who had been facing his father for many years. Lu Yun didn't doubt the abilities of Princess Jiaping at all, not to mention all kinds of rumors, only to see her young sister Hongxia Princess is so heroic, knowing that Princess Jiaping must be even better.

At this time, Song Jian said again: "Yun Road, if you arrive in Chang'an, you may also see another legendary person, Chenghou Su Qing. This general Su was originally from the North Han Dynasty, but she wanted to avenge her family. I took refuge in Dayong and spent many years as a spy in the Northern Han Dynasty. It is said that she has made countless amazing achievements. However, after her identity was revealed, it turned out to be Fengyimen rebellion. It is said that her master once hunted down Emperor Dayong for hundreds of miles. , Almost succeeded. After this matter spread, many people said that the Emperor Da Yong had to be magnanimous, this general Su would also have to be reduced to the people, who knows that the emperor is like a sea, and the Emperor Yong not only did not commit the crime, but also Granted her the rank of Marquis, now this general Su is the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard, who is responsible for the responsibility of the Great Internal Guard, and is very trusted and reused by the emperor and queen. Look, this North Han woman is really unusual, these three One person can make the world upside down, but they all voted for Dayong. From this look, Dayong’s civil servants and generals are even more impressive. If it weren’t for our Southern Chu and General Lu, I’m afraid the Yong army would have already crossed the Yangtze River."

Lu Yun can only sigh deeply when he hears this. How heavy is the burden on his father's shoulders, and he has a deeper understanding, but there are still people who slander him secretly, and he will kill his father. Humiliated Jiang Zhe, no matter how powerful he is.

Just when Lu Yun swears secretly, the swift sound of horseshoes came again behind his ears, and the crisp laughter like silver bells floated in the wind, Lu Yun couldn't help but follow the laugh to the reputation~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing seven horses galloping on the other side of the road, Lu Yun saw the knight above and resisted the urge to rub his eyes. He stared at it carefully.

These seven horses are all excellent and famous horses chosen from a thousand miles. The three horsemen in the front are all teenage boys, and the four horsemen behind are the samurai guards. It is obviously the young Changan giants who have returned from the spring.

Riding a white horse in the middle is a very beautiful young man, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, the muscles are as light as snow, and he is dressed in a light yellow shirt. He is full of looks. The laughter Lu Yun heard is the yellow boy. issued. The knight riding on the left side of this young man was a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen. Although he was wearing a riding attire, he was elegant and gentle. Even though he was galloping on horseback, he did not carry a trace of domineering air. The black-clothed boy on the other side of the yellow-clothed boy is quite different. Although he looks only a teenager, his face is cold and stern, and his brows are even more murderous. Then frightened.

Lu Yun's gaze was fixed on the yellow-clothed boy, and he couldn't take it back anyway. The boy was as dazzling as the brightest sunshine in spring. His laughter was so cheerful that he couldn't detect any trouble. Sad, as long as I see him, I feel that the world is so wide and life is so beautiful. Lu Yun couldn’t help but feel jealous. He came with a grudge, and would ruin his life here, but under the same sky, there was a teenager who was about his age. Happy and free.
