The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 9: High mountains and running water

Jinghai Villa in early spring, quiet and deep, outside Tingtao Pavilion, the blue sea is growing, huge waves are emptying, hitting the rocks again and again, splashing like broken Qiong jade, and like wind and snow, Donghai Spring Trendy and magnificent. It was early in the morning at this time, and the servants in the village had already started a busy day lightly. At this moment, there was an agitated piano sound from Tingtao Pavilion. The sound of the piano was like a tidal wave, agitated and continuous. Everyone in the village could not help standing, listening to the heartstrings of the piano, in a trance, as if it were magnificent. The tide has crossed the cliffs, appearing in front of you. At the end of the song, those people who were in awe each exclaimed and began to get busy again. And in a pavilion at the highest point of Jinghai Villa, an old man with white hair put down the scroll in his hand and focused his eyes on the distant Tingtao Pavilion. This old man is over seventy years old, but he has a childlike face, with a cold and indifferent expression. He is the medical saint Sangchen. At this time, a clear and sweet voice came from outside the door, saying: "Master, Qingyan invites you to come."

Sang Chen was originally from Penglai in the East China Sea, but after he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, Jiang Zhe specially sent someone to build Jinghai Mountain Villa to take Sangchen here to take care of the elderly. Although Sangchen was indifferent, he regarded Jiang Zhe seriously. If the grandson, there is no objection to live here. After Jiang Zhe’s assistance to the King of Yong succeeded, he came to Jinghai Mountain Villa to help the sick. Sangchen spent countless thoughts before he took care of Jiang Zhe’s body. For several years, the family had a good time. Sangchen also loved Roulan and Shen'er. It's a bit less indifferent and a bit more tender. Jinghai Villa is picturesque, and Sangchen also intends to stay here for the elderly. Even though Jiang Zhe and his wife have left, Sangchen still lives here, but Jiang Haitao and Yueqingyan were replaced by her knees. The poison on Yue Qingyan's body has been removed by Sang Chen. Although he still has to be treated with drugs within a few years, his life is no longer hindered. Moreover, although Yue Qingyan is a woman, she is talented and intelligent. She is very insightful in medical practice. Satisfied with her beauty and talent, she left her in the villa to teach her medical skills. In addition to taking care of official duties, Jiang Haitao also lives in Jinghai Villa. Who made him live in harmony with the Yueqingyan couple and couldn't bear to separate. Therefore, Jinghai Villa is still very lively, not lonely.

Hearing the voice of Yueqingyan, Sang Chen smiled slightly and said: "Come in, why Haitao didn't come over, didn't he come back yesterday?"

Yue Qingyan came into the room with the two maids, and respectfully bowed. For several months, Yue Qingyan's skin was still like frost and snow, but the difference was that there was a little blood on her cheeks. Let her look more and more beautiful and exquisite. Hearing Sang Chen’s question, she smiled and said: "Master, Hai Tao also wants to please you, but Mr. Cai’s messenger has arrived. Haitao needs to receive the messenger, so I’m afraid it will take a while to come."

Sang Chen nodded and said: "Who is playing the piano is a great piano art."

Yueqingyan said: "Qingyan heard Xianggong say that it was the messenger of the Northern Han Dynasty, Qiu Yufei, a direct disciple of Sect Master Mozongjing. The father-in-law has already handed everything over to Xianggong, so Xianggong sent someone to pick him up. Come here."

Sang Chen frowned slightly, Mozong, Qiu Yufei, ripples in his heart, it was an unfamiliar and familiar name. Sixty years ago, Sang Chen was also a candidate for Sect Master of the Demon Star Sect, but He was not interested in this, and finally lost the opportunity to inherit the Sect Master Xingzong because of his identity as a medical saint. However, Sang Chen never regretted it, and he was not a troubled person. Although the poison on his body had been removed by him long ago, he never thought of revealing this secret, and Xingzong became a distant memory in his memory. , Until the appearance of Dong Que. As soon as he saw Dong Que, Sang Chen knew that this person must be a disciple of the Xingzong. He had faintly hinted that Jiang Zhe Dong Que’s identity was secretive, but Jiang Zhe just smiled and said, "Dong Que has some secrets in his heart, I know this. But as long as he is loyal to me, I don’t want to talk about his private affairs.” Sang Chen didn’t bother after hearing this. In his opinion, Dong Que was not malicious, but just looking for a place to stay. Just in case, he still called Xiao Shunzi and taught him some of his own unique knowledge. In this way, if there is a conflict between Xingzong and Jiang Zhe in the future, Xiao Shunzi is enough to deal with the master Xingzong. Don't worry about Jiang Zhe's safety, but from the perspective of Xingzong's purpose, he does not believe that Xingzong will be opposed to Jiang Zhe. As for himself, martial arts has long surpassed the scope of the Demon Sect, so he is not worried about Dong Que discovering the identity he once had, not to mention, even if he knew it, what could he do?

Dong Que did not mention it for the time being, but the arrival of Qiu Yufei made Sangchen's heart slightly moved. The Northern Han Dynasty Demon Sect and Jiang Zhe had a hostile relationship. Qiu Yufei came to the East China Sea without any kindness. If you see Qiu Yufei, you should be able to understand the current strength of the Demon Sect. Although Sang Chen is not worried about Jiang Zhe’s safety, he is protected by hundreds of thousands of troops and Da Yong’s master guards, and there is Xiao Shunzi who has been personally passed on by him. Xingzong’s martial arts is also implicitly restraining Sun and Yuezong. Even Jing Wuji's martial arts has exceeded the scope of the two schools and entered the ranks of masters. This kind of restraint still exists. Jiang Zhe should not be so easy to encounter danger, right?

In the Tingtao Pavilion, Qiu Yufei caressed the Aegean, feeling much tranquil. A few days ago, he entered the East China Sea and was picked up by people from the East China Sea to Guanyi in Binzhou, waiting for the reception of the young master Jiang Haitao until yesterday. Someone brought himself to Jinghai Villa. Before he came, Qiu Yufei had heard that Jinghai Villa was Jiang Zhe’s retreat. Today, Donghai Hou Aizi Jiang Haitao and his wife Yue Qingyan live in it. Thinking that he was about to step into Jiang Zhe's residence, Qiu Yufei couldn't help but feel mixed. Yesterday it was a whole night tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep. In the early morning, he asked the people in the village to lead the way to Tingtao Pavilion, wanting to watch the tide. When he arrived in the pavilion, the sea breeze was fresh and the sea breeze was far away. I just feel that all the worries and pains of the past few days have disappeared. Qiu Yufei stood up and looked at the tide outside the fence. The sea breeze rushed towards his face, with cold and freshness. Qiu Yufei couldn't help thinking, if Jiang Zhe was here, they would watch the tide and listen to the piano together. It's cozy. It's a pity that the two are now enemies, I'm afraid there is no such opportunity in this life.

When Qiu Yufei was feeling melancholy, steady footsteps sounded in his ears, Qiu Yufei's heart moved, and the person who came, who should be no ordinary person, sat down by the piano and waited for someone to come. A hearty voice came from outside the door and said: "Young Master Qiu is very interested, watching the sea and playing the piano, he will have endless fun. I don't know if the Young Master likes the scenery of Jinghai Villa." The voice did not stop, and a handsome young man walked in, just yesterday. Will Jiang Haitao.

Qiu Yufei got up and said with a polite: "The scenery of Jinghai Villa is picturesque, and Qiu is very fond of it. Xiao Hou Ye specially came to see him, but has he made a decision?"

Jiang Haitao put a letter next to the Qin and said: "Mr. Chenjiang's messenger has arrived in the East China Sea. This is a letter from the husband to the son."

Qiu Yufei was shocked. Although he thought that Donghai might tell Jiang Zhe about his whereabouts, he still couldn't eliminate his horror. It seems that Jiang Zhe's control of Donghai is very strict. If his request is not accepted , Is it true that I really want to kill in the East China Sea? In this way, I am afraid I can only escape from the East China Sea.

Opening the letter, Qiu Yufei's eyes condensed, only to see: "

Yu Fei virtuous brother RuMe:

Since the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Mr. Wen has returned home safely. It is very fortunate. Although the Qinzhou incident has harmed his virtuous brothers, they are their masters, and Zhe has no complaints. Knowing the emperor goes to the East China Sea, Zhe intends to stay in Jinghai temporarily. Although the humble house is humble, it has a collection of tens of thousands of books. It is even more triumphant. If you are interested, watching the sea and fussing the piano, or cruising in a flat boat, what is the joy of this, why bother to get caught in the battlefield, so that your hands are blood-stained and your mood is difficult to calm. The breeze of the East China Sea is clear and the moon is clear, which is in line with the heart of the king. If we meet again the next day, Wang Jun is gone, Zhe Dang and Jun Qin sing to reconcile, and then tell their goodbyes. "

Qiu Yufei's heart was wide at the beginning. Jiang Zhe didn't resent him, but after seeing that, he couldn't help but frown. Jiang Zhe wanted to put himself under house arrest in the East China Sea. It was really unreasonable. He put down his letter and said coldly: "Is Xiaohou Ye confident that he can control Qiu?"

Jiang Haitao shook his hand and said: "The Qiu son is overwhelmed. My father had received the grace of the national teacher in the past, and Donghai has also received money from your country. I decided not to participate in this battle, but after this time, Donghai has no debts in the Northern Han Dynasty. I am afraid that I will no longer be involved with your country in the future."

Qiu Yufei was overjoyed, and asked suspiciously: "So how can the young master be confident that he can keep Qiu?"

Jiang Haitao smiled slightly and said: "Although the East China Sea had received the benevolence of the North Han Dynasty in the past, the East China Sea also repaid it later. In fact, the two sides have already evened. Although the kindness of your country has not been repaid in the past, your country will not be repaid anyway. I will count on us to send troops to help. This time we have promised not to send troops, and we are willing to help you carry away the money and food that your military purchased here. In this way, we have already repaid the kindness and righteousness. However, we have prepared an additional batch of food, grass, and medicine, which are all urgently needed by you, but you may not be able to buy it. Haitao has already invested in the purchase. Your country can transport it away at any time to replenish military supplies, but we also have it. The condition is that Young Master Qiu stays in the East China Sea for as long as a year and a half, or as few as a few months. What does Young Master think?"

Qiu Yufei was silent for a long time, and he faintly understood in his heart that Jiang Zhe was determined to detain him in the East China Sea, even at the expense of his enemies, but he had no expertise other than martial arts and piano art, marching and fighting, and making suggestions. I am not good at it. It can be said that he does not have the strengths of the Sun and Moon Sects of the Demon Sect, and his personal martial arts are not beneficial to the military affairs. Is it worth paying these prices to stay in the East China Sea? Did Jiang Zhe really make this decision for personal friendship?

Seeing that he hesitated, Jiang Haitao said: "You don’t need to worry about Mr. Qiu. Your husband is very affectionate for Mr. Qiu, and he doesn’t want him to be involved in secular affairs. Only then did Haitao support your country’s grain and grass and exchange Mr. Qiu to stay in the East China Sea. In this way, Qiu Gongzi can also make sense at Shimen. After the wind is calm, it will not be too late for the Gongzi to return to the Northern Han Dynasty."

Qiu Yufei sighed, Jiang Haitao’s words did speak to his heart. Compared with the batch of grain, whether he stayed in the Northern Han Dynasty or not is already a trivial matter. This is indeed a good excuse. But if you leave the teacher alone and ignore it, can you feel at ease?

Seeing his look, Jiang Haitao already knew what he wanted, and said: "If Young Master Qiu refuses to stay in the East China Sea, then Jiang has nothing to say, but your country should not take away a penny from Binzhou. Fighting to bear the charge of ungratefulness, Donghai will immediately return to Shun Dayong. Please think carefully about how to choose."

Qiu Yufei couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Little Hou Ye said that, does Qiu have other choices?"

Jiang Haitao smiled slightly and said: "Jinghai Villa is the residence of the gentleman and has a huge collection of books. There are many piano scores for the son of Qiu to play, and the son is recuperating in the villa. If the son of Qiu has any needs, if he is not there, You can explain to my son. In addition, Mr. Sheng Sang, the medical practitioner, is recluding in the villa. The husband said that if there is a chance, the son might as well go see Mr. Sang."

Qiu Yufei sighed slightly, and said: "Jinghai Villa is a fairyland on earth. Yufei is detained here. I don't expect any suffering, but does Xiao Houye really think that Da Yong will win?"

Jiang Haitao smiled silently. After he married his wife, his temperament became much calmer. He just said: "How can you tell the truth about these things?" But he thought to himself that since the husband has been out of the mountains, So the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty is just a matter of time, but although he does not know why Mr. Qiu Yufei must stay in the East China Sea, he knows that his husband loves Qiu Yufei very much, and although Qiu Yufei hasn’t stated clearly, he is also right to him. It seems to agree with one another, so such hurtful words will never be said.

Qiu Yufei saw that the overall situation had been settled, but his heart became clear. No matter how hard Jiang Zhe is, he understands my intentions and knows that I don't want to enter the **** battlefield. The two countries are fighting, no matter who Whoever wins or loses, what does it have to do with me? Besides, Da Yong won. Could it be that my Demon Sect couldn’t get out of it in time? Even though Da Yong is powerful, there are more than 100,000 horsemen in the Northern Han Dynasty. Qinzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why should I worry about this? It’s better to live in the East China Sea to avoid the war. After thinking through, I feel more and more confidant towards Jiang Zhe. I can’t help stroking the strings. The strings flowed out, towering like a mountain, oceans like water, together with the sound of the piano, Jinghai Villa is all quiet, everyone is relaxed and happy, and the platform is clear and clean.

At the end of the song, Yue Qingyan came from outside and said: "The Qiu son is unparalleled in Qin Yi, Qingyan respects him, and the concubine master invites the son to come and see you."

Qiu Yufei was taken aback for a moment, but what a medical sage, even Jing Wuji would not hold back here, Qiu Yufei stood up and said: "Dare not follow your life."

Led by Jiang Haitao and Yue Qingyan, Qiu Yufei walked through the pavilions and walked into the Baicao Xuan where Sangchen lived. Before entering the room door, Qiu Yufei felt uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that there should be someone in the room, but he felt that the person did not exist. Qiu Yufei had this feeling before, that was in front of the master. , Does Jinghai Villa actually have such a master-level master? Qiu Yufei smiled bitterly, I was afraid that Jiang Haitao would tell him the decision here, that he was worried that no one could suppress him. If he revolted with martial arts, I was afraid that he would meet and break the blood. Jiang Zhe did not have any flaws. Falling into his stubbornness, there is absolutely no chance to get out, but strangely, Qiu Yufei is more at ease. Since it is impossible for him to leave the East China Sea at all, there is no choice but to give in and stay. Can't help but look up at the clear sky, Qiu Yufei only feels the unprecedented tranquility and joy in his mind.

Let go of the Donghai Biography, I put on the Greatcloak and walked out of the camp. It is now early February, the snow is gone, the spring ploughing is about to come, and the sergeant soldiers have even gone into battle during the daily morning exercises, but I still think The ice is biting, alas, the serious illness of the past still left many marks on my body, but Shaolin's mentality is indeed good, at least my hands and feet are warm, although I don’t have enough strength, I can’t just walk away. I'm panting. I think I won't suffer too much during this Northern Expedition. It's a pity that I can't hide in the East China Sea or Chang'an to recuperate. If Da Yong can't dominate the world, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to be a vegetarian.

There were footsteps in the distance, and the shadow of King Qi appeared in my heart. I didn't look back, and said, "Hey, is there something serious?"

Qi Wang said dumbly: "Suiyun, what do you mean, Donghai has declared neutrality, and has also sent a batch of food and weapons to the North Han. I don’t believe this is what the Jiang family meant. You have been in Donghai for several years. , Don’t tell me that I still can’t control the situation there."

I smiled slightly and said: "What are you talking about? Zhe lives in the East China Sea and lives in seclusion. How can he want to control the Jiang family in the East China Sea? The Jiang family and the Royal Family are related by marriage. Daen, isn’t it your business to persuade them to submit? And a few months ago, didn’t the Jiang family discuss with the court about recruitment?"

Qi Wang said: "So you can tell me these high-sounding words. The return of the East China Sea to Da Yong is the general trend, and no one can change it, but why is it suddenly neutral this time and supports the North Han against us. Don’t tell me it’s you secretly. Calculate, if the emperor blames it, this king will not intercede for you."

I said aloud: "Okay, let the emperor cure my sins then, it's better to go to my knighthood, I will take Changle back to the East China Sea to live in seclusion, you said to go overseas with Hai's ship Can you see it?"

The king of Qi said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry with me. If you and the emperor have any consensus, I always have to explain clearly to the generals below."

I was silent for a while, and said: "When does the prince need to explain to the generals below? I can tell the prince to know, but the generals below are better not to know for now."

When King Qi came over, the guards around the two of us dispersed and protected our surroundings to prevent our conversation from leaking out. I didn’t hesitate to say: “Now that King Dongchuan Qing has an antipathy, although Nanchu has been appeased, he still has to worry about their repetition. If Donghai now returns to Shun Dayong, Nanchu and Dongchuan will be under pressure. Desperate to challenge Dayong, Donghai now expresses its neutrality and supports the Northern Han Dynasty. No matter what the people of the world think, they will breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. They even think that Dayong will be trapped in a bitter battle with the North Han and can delay Nanchu and Dong. Chuan's actions are the first advantage. In addition, when the war is over, we can cut off the passage between the East China Sea and the Northern Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Northern Han Dynasty will still fall into the predicament of insufficient money and food. Moreover, our battle is not prepared for a long-term siege. It doesn’t matter whether the Northern Han Dynasty has sufficient money or food. I have asked Changle to make a statement to the emperor on this matter. After the Northern Han Dynasty’s fall, wouldn’t the Donghai return to the East China Sea be the icing on the cake? , Can the East China Sea continue to be neutral and maintain its relationship with the North Han Dynasty."

After a pause, I said calmly: "Besides, by doing this, I can still take the opportunity to leave Qiu Yufei in the East China Sea. I don't want him to die on the battlefield. His piano art is unparalleled in the world. Such a person should not die. In Qinzhou."

The king of Qi gave Jiang Zhe a weird look and said: "This king doesn't believe that you will make such a decision because of personal affair. After all, how do you plan to use Qiu Yufei this time? Isn't it enough?"

I was a little embarrassed and furious. I glared at King Qi and said, "What are you anxious about, you will know when the last joint is reached." This person always exposes my sinister thoughts. But I couldn't help but sweat. Compared to Qiu Yufei, although he had murdered me, he was indeed more sincere. Then I thought about it, I just asked him to do something for me while saving his life, otherwise he is a disciple of the magic door, how can I protect him in a high-sounding manner?

The king of Qi was also very interested. Seeing that I was annoyed, he turned off the topic and said: "Suiyun, do you have any plans for sending troops to Qinzhou this time?"

I lazily said: "The date for the dispatch of troops has long been set, what will your Highness do this time?"

This talked about the itchy place of King Qi. He excitedly said: "Go, go to your tent and say." After that, I walked into my camp in a stride, and I followed in and took out a map personally. To the case.

The king of Qi pointed to the map and said: "I have asked Jing Chi to take 50,000 people to set off ahead of time, from Zhenzhou to the Taihang Baixing to attack Huguan, I brought an army of 150,000 to the north, and then the army went to Qinshui~ IndoMTL.com~The two-way attack, uniting troops in Qinzhou, what do you think?"

I already have a plan in my heart, saying: "His Royal Highness is enough to bring one hundred thousand people, leaving fifty thousand people in Zezhou, and I need more flags to look like an army of 150,000. In addition, please your Highness along the way. Send out scouts and spies to intercept and kill North Han Army scouts and spies, and they must not be allowed to pass through the defense line of the army."

A cold light flashed in the eyes of King Qi, and said: "Suiyun, do the emperor and you have any plans?"

I smiled slightly, pointed to the map in a low voice and explained my overall plan. King Qi nodded as he listened, and finally said proudly: "Maybe I don't need this move. My 100,000 army plus Jing It’s 50,000 late, can’t you take Long Tingfei?"

I chuckled and said: "If your Royal Highness can make such a great achievement, it would be even better, but Long Tingfei is not an ordinary person. This time the Northern Han Dynasty will definitely resist the army with all the power of the whole country. Your Royal Highness should not be underestimated." /

Wang Qi Wang looked at the map while studying my strategy thoughtfully, and finally said: "Okay, but will you go north with the army?"

I sighed and said: "I don't want to take any risks, but if I don't show up, I'm afraid that the North Han spy will fight to the rear to investigate the military situation. I don't want this, but when I think of riding a car, I feel sore all over."

The king of Qi smiled and said: "I am asking you to prepare a clipper for you. You will travel north along Qinshui to save you from the pain of the road. The road to Qinzhou is not easy, and your carriage is useless." /

The plan between the two of us has been settled. At this time someone outside the account said loudly: "The king, the supervising army, the emperor's will has reached the camp." King Qi and I were both excited to walk out of the account, according to the time, The imperial edict that the emperor allowed to fight should be here these days. Walking out of the camp, the sky is full of clouds. If you want to come to heaven and earth, you also know that there will be a **** battle, so you are worried about it.
