The Shen Yong Army was in chaos, and the chaos was unclear. Wanyan's impeachers led people from the Wanyan tribe to surround Yelu Hongxiao. How could they keep an eye on Yelu Hongxiao when several people fought against him? After a while, he was captured by the Wanyan tribe. One of the warriors tied him with a rope and pulled him off the horse. The others rushed up, tied him up, and escorted him to the Yeluliang people.

The generals were all captured, so how could we fight this battle? Some of the brave soldiers rushed forward to save the generals, but were blocked by the Pi Shi army guarding outside the palace and killed them one by one; some wanted to run back, but were surrounded. The Forbidden Army led by Xiao Ying blocked them and killed them; others heard that there were people from the Wanyan tribe among the brave army, and they couldn't tell who was beating whom. Their only purpose was to find a way to escape.

This coke spoiled several people who were watching the battle on the boulder not far away. Yelu Hongji and Wang Pang watched as the phalanx of the Divine Warrior Army shrank little by little as if it was being eaten.

"Look, Yelu Hongxiao's people are beating themselves up. Hahaha, it's so interesting." The bodyguards serving Yelu Hongji couldn't help but laugh while standing on Stone Mountain looking at the battlefield.

"No, it was a large area just now, but now there are only a few hundred people left." Another guard said excitedly.[

"Oh, many people have dismounted and surrendered, and there are still dozens of them now! Pishi Army, come on!" Yelu Hongji's guards couldn't help shouting.

Yelu Hongji laughed loudly: "Wang Xianren, this is the first time I stand on the mountain to see this scene! There are two thousand brave soldiers, and only a few are left in less than an hour. This is a bit like the chess game played by you Han people. You Look, the black pieces are Yelu Hongxiao's chess pieces, and the white pieces are our troops. The white pieces surround the black pieces and eat them bit by bit. By the way, what's the name of that chess piece?"

"Your Majesty, that's called Go!" Wang Pang replied with a slight smile.

"That's right! That's the game of Go. Your Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty also taught me, but it's a pity that my qualifications are stupid!" Yelu Hongji said with a smile and narrowed his eyes.

Now he was in a very good mood, and the sound of fighting not far away gradually subsided. In less than an hour, half of Yelu Hongxiao's two thousand heroic troops were killed and wounded, and half surrendered. Looking from the top of the mountain here, Xiao Ying's troops were not at all tight in formation. There was chaos. In the center of the battlefield, some people began to count horses, weapons, weapons and equipment, and some organized the surrendered brave soldiers to be brought to a centralized place.

Wang Pang saw that the battle was fought so easily, and he jokingly said: "Does the Emperor Liao know why I, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, likes Go?"

Yelu Hongji looked at Wang Pang curiously, and Wang Pang smiled and said: "Once, I asked Emperor Renzong why he liked the next period. What do you think he said? He said: He said that he played Go to prevent himself from being obsessed with the women in the harem. .”

Yelu Hongji laughed loudly after hearing this, and even the guards behind them also laughed. Wang Pang continued: "Actually, this is quite reasonable. Playing chess can strengthen self-cultivation, and can also divert attention. It can indeed play a role in self-esteem." The role of control. Song Taizong was also a chess fan. He played chess with Jia Xuan, but Jia Xuan always lost to him on purpose, which made the boss Zhao Guangyi unhappy. In addition to the emperor who loved playing chess in the Song Dynasty, my father Wang Anshi, Scholar-bureaucrats Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Su Shi were all chess fans."

Yelu Hongji nodded and listened. He was a fan of Chinese literature. While drinking, he watched the battle. Hearing the king's talk, he couldn't help but said: "To be honest, Wang Shilang, your Song Dynasty's music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, I It’s just that I’m not good at this game. If you have time, you should teach me well. Put aside self-cultivation. Take the battle in the paddock just now as an example. I think it is just like playing chess. It can be seen that Go can also be used in the art of war."

Wang Pang felt that he had to praise the emperor. He had just achieved some results. Although Yelu Hongji was a king, in order for Yelu Hongji to lend him troops with confidence, he had to show the value of the Liao Emperor. He used an expression of approval. Looking at Yelu Hongji, he said: "O wise sage, Ma Rong of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Go": A brief look at Go, the method is to use troops, the three-foot game is the battlefield. This layout, the middle game, the final , no matter which move is wrong, the whole game will be lost. Therefore, chess players need to have a rare view of the overall situation, not to be too rigid in small details, to give up when it is necessary, and to act according to the situation. Therefore, a foresighted person like the Holy One, If you really want to learn to play chess, I’m afraid there will be no opponent in the world for you.”

Yelu Hongji was so praised by Wang Pang that he felt light-headed. He laughed loudly, and the loud laughter echoed in the valley: "Wang Xianren, it seems that I have to learn to play chess. It's a pity that I am not prepared this time, otherwise you Isn’t it a pleasure for me to play chess and watch the battle?!”

This emperor really shines brightly with a little sunshine. Wang Pang smiled secretly in his heart and said: "I am no match for the Holy Emperor. If the Holy Emperor learns how to play chess, the only one who can compete with the Holy Emperor in ancient and modern times is probably the late Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty."

After Yelu Hongji heard this, he was even more happy. He didn't even hear the irony in the king's words: "Well, then I will practice hard for decades, and wait until one day to become an immortal to fight with you, Renzong of the Song Dynasty. The emperor gestures. Hahaha."

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and Xiao Ying's troops evacuated together with Yelu Liang and Pi Shijun. Only the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were left behind, doing the final aftermath work. Yelu Hong

Ji's attendants whispered: "King Xiao is hiding again?" one of the guards said.

"You said, Immortal Wang won't let the emperor come down from the mountain, so why are we waiting here?..." They discussed quietly.

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

One of the guards said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we are wondering when we can return to Zhongjing. Why haven't we seen anyone to pick us up from the mountain yet?"

Wang Pang looked at their confused expressions and said with a smile: "There is a more exciting show, don't you want to see it?" [

"Think!" several people said in unison

Wang Pang pointed to the north: "Rebellion is a serious crime. Taizi Mountain is an important place for imperial mausoleums. If the emperor's uncle knew that his son was captured in Taizi Mountain, he would definitely come here."

"What if he doesn't come?" a guard asked with a quick tongue.

Wang Pang smiled slightly. If Yelu Zongyuan had not come, where would the Luanhe Rebellion come from in history? But he always had to find an excuse for Yelu Zongyuan to come to Prince Mountain. He pointed in the direction of the north and said: "Uncle Emperor Huang" If he returned north to Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, the Bohai Navy would intercept him; if he wanted to capture Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing in the northwest, there would be imperial troops stationed there to wait for work; if the Emperor Taishu went west to Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing, there would have been a way to support him. Yelu Hongxiao's Shenwu Army has been taken away; the only way he can come is to the south. He goes to Prince Mountain to find the emperor. With good luck, he gets the throne. He must not have thought that even if he came, he would be like his son. , were caught together to worship our ancestors!”

Yelu Hongji's eyes lit up as the king spoke, and the guards couldn't help but nod. Yelu Hongji said loudly: "What a pleasure! Immortal Wang, is this the Go game you just talked about? Let's realize it." After finishing the layout, now we enter the middle game.”

Wang Pian slapped his thigh: "Your Majesty, you are simply wise and powerful. You have learned the art of chess before you even learn chess! You are absolutely right. You have already laid out the game. Now is the mid-game game you mentioned!"

The guards around him also followed suit and praised: "Your Majesty, your sage!"

Yelu Hongji was said to be elated. This made him even happier than the fight he just watched a little far away, especially when he thought that he would soon capture the emperor's uncle Yelu Zongyuan, who was eyeing his throne at his feet.

No longer caring about how many days we spent chatting on this rock, he laughed and said: "Okay! Then let's fight for another round in the middle game. When it ends perfectly, it will be when Wang Xianren leads the Bohai Navy to conquer the Japanese slaves.

!”

Wang Pang stood up hurriedly, bowed and saluted: "Thank you so much for the holy grace of Emperor Liao! Wang is grateful!"

Yelu Hongxiao waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you think I don't know this! I have a spy report that Song Yingzong took your wife as a hostage and asked you to leave Song Dynasty and go to Goryeo. I really don't know anything."

You know. I lent you soldiers because Renzong treated me well and wanted peace on the border between Song and Liao. Otherwise!"

He paused for a moment: "Otherwise, I will detain you in the Liao Kingdom and let you accompany me every day. I guess Song Yingzong will not be able to do anything to you."

Wang Pang breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn’t know what was coming after Yelu Hongji. Hearing that Yelu Hongji had spies in the Song Dynasty, Wang Pang was thinking about his family and hurriedly asked: "Since the Emperor of Liao has nothing,

I know, and I won’t hide it. This time during the construction of Prince Mountain, I have not been in contact with my family and friends in the capital of Song Dynasty, and I am also thinking about it." He said and sighed.

Yelu Hongji looked at him and said with a smile: "I thought you, Immortal Wang, could know everything?! And look at you, in terms of ability and strategy, are you not better than Song Yingzong? I feel aggrieved for you, thinking that you

Don’t be afraid of anything, it turns out it’s the love between children!”

Wang Pangnai smiled, and Yelu Hongji said again: "Since we have mentioned this today, I will tell you that your wife is still safe; also, the envoy from Goryeo has asked the Emperor of Song to send troops and wait for us to go down the mountain.

Your generals from the Song Dynasty have also arrived to come and take orders from you. I heard that three thousand navy troops have been given and are being prepared to be mobilized to Dengzhou. Where can I send it to Goryeo by sea?"

This can be said to be great news for Wang Pang. It seems that these days in the Liao Kingdom have not been in vain. Little did he know that many officials from the Song Kingdom were working for him, including the crown prince who persuaded Emperor Yingzong;

Cai Xiang, who created public opinion to put pressure on the emperor; Wang Gui and others who reported to the emperor that he should send troops. In short, Yingzong sent troops. The king couldn't hide his joy and asked Yelu Hongji: "Does the Emperor of Liao know who the general who came to ask for orders is?"

Yelu Hongji shook his head: "I really don't know exactly who he is from the Song Kingdom. This is the information I got. It is said that he is a descendant of Yang Ye, the general of your Song Kingdom."

Isn't Yang Ye the famous Yang Jiye in history? After the victory at Yanmen Pass, Yang Ye became famous far and wide. His descendants inherited his father's business. His son Yang Yanlang, grandson Yang Zongbao, and great grandson Yang Wenguang all made their mark in the war to defend the borders of the Song Dynasty.
