Although he has now become the Khan of the Western Turks, he can imagine that after his death, his son will not be able to inherit the position of Khan at all, just like he did then.
Nishu felt that if he could unify the grassland, with this honor, no one would dare to attack his descendants.
But Xue Yantuo was not so easy to destroy. He had to take action in advance, otherwise he would not be able to complete the unification of the grassland in the remaining time.
…
The next day, Lin Xuan brought the finished chess to Da'an Palace.
Li Yuan picked up a chess piece, looked at the words on it, and murmured: "Rook?"
"Is this chess?" Li Yuan asked.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, this is created by me based on the form of Liubo integrated into the battle between the two armies."
After traveling for so long, Lin Xuan has become accustomed to plagiarism, and he doesn't feel embarrassed like before.
Li Yuan became interested when he heard that it was integrated into the form of fighting between two armies, and asked: "Tell me how to play this."
How to play chess is not difficult. Lin Xuan explained it once and Li Yuan remembered it.
"Okay, this soldier is good. I'll give you the military order and move forward bravely." Li Yuan heard that the soldier could only move forward but not backward. He couldn't move left or right until he crossed the river. He liked it very much.
Li Yuan said: "Let's play a game first."
Lin Xuan nodded, placed the chess pieces, and said: "Your Majesty, please go first."
"How can I take advantage of you? You go first." Li Yuan waved his hand.
Even though it was his first time seeing chess, he knew that playing first would give him an advantage.
Li Yuan has his own pride, how can he take advantage of Lin Xuan?
Lin Xuan smiled and did not refuse. When dealing with an old man like this, you have to be accommodating.
"Your Majesty, I will vault first." Lin Xuan said.
Li Yuan thought for a while and took away the second soldier on the left.
Lin Xuan took another step without thinking.
Although his chess skills are average, he has not taken a novice like Li Yuan seriously.
Next, Lin Xuan ate several chess pieces from Li Yuan and felt very happy.
This was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If I beat him in chess, I would have bragging rights in the future.
"General!" Li Yuan moved the cannon forward and said calmly.
Lin Xuan looked at the chessboard and was dumbfounded. He had no way to go.
You were in great shape just now, why did you suddenly lose?
Li Yuan said calmly: "Didn't you say that this chess piece is integrated into the battle between the two armies? Then you should know that there are decoys on the battlefield, and some chess pieces are not so delicious."
Lin Xuan's face turned red. Was he being taught a lesson?
"What the Emperor taught me is that I was a little careless just now." Lin Xuan said.
He still doesn't believe it, he can't even play with a newbie.
"Oh?" Li Yuan said with a half-smile, "Then let's play a round."
The two set up the chess pieces and the second game began.
However, Li Yuan was already familiar with this game a lot. It was not like the first game where he had to think about it for a long time and Lin Xuan lost faster.
"This chess game is ever-changing, but it also implies the art of war. It's not bad." Li Yuan praised.
Lin Xuan said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty for the compliment."
"It's just that with your level, I can't believe that you invented this chess game." Li Yuan said with a smile.
Am I being ridiculed? Can I still have fun?
"Your Majesty, if we continue, I will definitely win." Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
As the founding emperor, Li Yuaneng's power and strategizing skills were unparalleled by Lin Xuan's.
Although later generations mentioned the Tang Dynasty, the first thing many people thought of was Li Shimin.
Li Yuan is not as well known as the founding emperors of other dynasties.
But there is no simple way to conquer the world in troubled times.
"Your Majesty, I can't stand you anymore." Lin Xuan said somewhat depressedly.
Li Yuan smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't want to have sex with you, it's boring."
Lin Xuan discovered for the first time that Li Yuan choked people when he spoke. There was no record of this in history.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now." Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.
He doesn't want to stay here anymore.
…
On the way back, Lin Xuan was still a little depressed because he was tortured by Li Yuan.
However, when I returned home, this feeling disappeared because Lin Ping was back.
Lin Xuan looked at the seven people in the hall, smiled and said: "Lin Ping, introduce me to them."
With these people, he can take revenge.
The Wang family has to pay some price.
Lin Ping pointed at a middle-aged man and said: "Master Hou, this is Zhang Daoquan, followed by his apprentice Zhang Dayong and his son Zhang You."
Zhang Daoquan led his apprentice and son, raised his hands and said, "I have met the Marquis."
Lin Xuan's information about Zhang Daoquan appeared in his mind, and he said with a smile: "I have heard of Mr. Zhang's name. It is my honor that Mr. Zhang can help me."
Zhang Daoquan heard Lin Xuan's words and said quickly: "I am just a martial artist, and I don't deserve such praise from the Marquis."
Lin Ping pointed at an old woman and said: "Master Hou, this is the heroine Guo Lanhua, and this is her granddaughter Guo Caiyue."
Lin Xuan didn't expect that Lin Ping could invite Guo Lanhua, but Guo Lanhua was already sixty years old, and he didn't know how much martial arts skills he still had left.
On the other hand, Guo Caiyue is very beautiful. She wears a smart outfit and shows a proud figure.
It's not like Lin Xuan has never seen a beautiful woman before, but because Guo Caiyue has been practicing martial arts for many years, she has a heroic spirit about her that is very attractive.
In order not to make people think of him as a lecher, Lin Xuan did not dare to look at him too much.
"I've met Nuxia Guo." Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.
Guo Lanhua said calmly: "Does Mr. Hou feel that I am old and useless?"
"I've heard of Nuxia Guo's reputation back then, how dare I underestimate it." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Xuan didn't expect that Guo Lanhua would notice it after just thinking about it for a moment.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and bandits and robbers were everywhere.
With the help of one person, Guo Lanhua destroyed several groups of bandits and left a great reputation in the green forest.
Ordinarily, at her age, she would never seek refuge with Lin Xuan.
But his son and his wife died early, leaving only a daughter.
She didn't want Guo Caiyue to continue wandering around the world, so she brought her granddaughter here.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Although I am getting old and my martial arts skills are not as good as before, I still won't be unable to earn a living." Guo Lanhua said lightly.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Nvxia Guo misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way."
Guo Lanhua was noncommittal. It was useless to say anything now. We would know later.
Lin Ping pointed to the two remaining strong men and said: "Master Hou, these are Cao Junwei and Cao Hu, father and son."
When Cao Junwei was in the late Sui Dynasty, he served as a bandit for a while, but he never attacked ordinary people.
Later, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and the world gradually stabilized. Cao Junwei disbanded the stronghold and lived in seclusion.
Among these people, the one Lin Xuan valued most was Cao Junwei.
After chatting for a while, Lin Xuan said: "Everyone, if you are willing to join the Lin family, I, Lin Xuan, will certainly not treat you badly. Now I have something I want you to help me with."
Zhang Daoquan, Guo Lanhua and Cao Junwei looked at each other and knew that the inspection was coming.
But they were not unhappy.
Cao Junwei said angrily, "Just tell me what the Marquis has to say."
"I want to take action against the Wang family, but I wonder if you would dare?" Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Daoquan was a little shocked and asked: "Which Wang family is the Marquis talking about?"
"Is there any other Wang family in the world?" Lin Xuan said calmly.
Yes, if the Wang family in the world comes out of Taiyuan, what other Wang family can there be?
Zhang Daoquan lost his voice and said: "Master Hou, do you think we can handle the Wang family?"
