"What are you standing there for? Come here!"
Heavens! Let me bang my head against the wall and die! Why did it have to be this despicable person, Sun Zhiyang? Li Yi complained in his heart, feeling that he was in trouble. After turning around, why was she still in his hands! The Crown Prince's Grand Tutor? Isn't he too young to be the Crown Prince's teacher at such a young age? Saint Duke Ze did not have the virtue of being fair and just. If it was said that a first-grade national inspector was suitable for him, he would pick on people's faults and then kill them. This villain had always been the best at it.
"Didn't you hear me?" The novel network didn't jump. Sun Zhiyang's tone was tough. He looked at Li Yi with a little displeasure. What kind of expression was this girl putting on? No one had ever dared to look at him like that.
Li Yi had a helpless bitter expression on his face as he slowly moved to the soft couch. His voice was like a mosquito's,”
Sun Zhiyang's face darkened. He pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap. "Is the Li family's shock banquet lively?”The novel network didn't jump.
Li Yi sat on his lap and looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he had eyes and ears in the Li family? Why did it seem that nothing could escape his eyes? Then, did he know about her and Ouyang Bo on the tree? If he knew, what would he do? Shame out of humiliation and kill to vent his anger?
"Duke truly has a good divine ability. Nothing can be hidden from Duke's eyes and ears.”
Sun Zhiyang frowned unhappily. Li Yi's words were sarcastic, making him very uncomfortable.
"The Li family has always had the habit of holding a surprise banquet. Drink this.”
Sun Zhiyang picked up an exquisite porcelain bowl on the table. It was filled with thick soup that was still steaming.
Li Yi took it and smelled it. It was hangover soup. She didn't expect Sun Zhiyang to specially prepare this for her. She didn't give in. She did have a headache because she didn't sleep well last night. She didn't know what this hangover soup was made of. Xiang 'er had helped her endure it in the past, so it was indeed very effective in relieving her headache. She raised her head and drank it all, but her stomach began to protest again, growling endlessly.
Sun Zhiyang casually handed the plate of food to Li Yi.”
There were four kinds of exquisite snacks on the plate: Golden Sparrow, Ruyi Roll, Almond Buddha's Hand, and Ruyi Cake. They had just been prepared and should have been specially prepared.
Li Yi took the plate and looked at Sun Zhiyang. His expression was calm, and there was no unnecessary joy or anger. He was not that annoying. If he didn't care so much about benefits and was so ruthless, he would be a good man. Unfortunately, he was too complicated and could never be as clear and transparent as Ouyang Bo. It was too tiring to be with such a person. His mind was always spinning and he was always on guard.
"Let's play chess!" Sun Zhiyang took the box containing the white pieces and placed it beside Li Yi. He casually grabbed a few black pieces from his box.
Li Yi held the plate in one hand and picked up a Ruyi Roll in the other and ate it in big mouthfuls. Just as he was about to get up, Sun Zhiyang hugged him.
"There's no need to leave. Let's play like this!"
Li Yi rolled his eyes at Sun Zhiyang, put down his plate, and continued to eat his snacks. He did not dare to neglect and focused on watching Sun Zhiyang place his stone. She didn't expect the Great Zhou Dynasty to play Go. She wasn't good at it. She had played with Tang Xiaofeng a few times in the past, and he had laughed at her so much that she didn't even have dinner. Since the Duke had spoken, then she would reluctantly accompany him for the next round. Li Yi racked his brains to think about the Go knowledge that Tang Xiaofeng had taught him. However, looking at Sun Zhiyang's expression, he knew that he was not very good at it.
Sun Zhiyang frowned and asked curiously,"Didn't General Li teach you how to play chess?"”The novel network didn't jump.
"No, why do you have to know how to play chess?”Li Yi did not think much of it. It was not a big deal if he did not know how to play chess. It was not like he could eat it.
"Even if you're a woman, you're still a woman disguised as a man and inherited the hereditary position. How could General Li not teach you how to play chess? The game of Go contained a profound principle of governing the people, the army, and the mountains and rivers. Deep chess theory can not only cultivate people's inner meaning, but also show good ideas through the chessboard and cultivate courage. If you don't understand chess, how can you lead troops to war? How do you plan?"
Li Yi was furious when he heard this. The exam was not about playing chess. Why would anyone bother to learn this? Leading troops to battle and strategizing? Battles in the 21st century were all modern. As long as one pressed a button, no matter how many people came, they would all be blown down. Who would ride a horse and wield a saber? But she couldn't say that. Looking at Sun Zhiyang's dead fish face, her blood boiled. Wait a minute, it seemed like Xie Jin, a talented scholar of the Ming Dynasty, had used ten Go nicknames and wrote a seven-temperament poem,'Watching the Game of Chess'. He used this poem to express his dissatisfaction with Ming Chengzu who indulged in playing chess all day and did not care about the sufferings of the people. How did he read it?
As she thought about it, she retorted,"Can you lead troops to war and govern the country just because you know how to play chess?" He was afraid that blindly indulging in chess would only harm the country and the people, right? Quite a few words."
Sun Zhiyang raised his eyebrows." You really don't know how to be taught. You're very naughty!"”
Li Yi was not afraid and smiled provocatively.
"Chicken, duck, bird, egret, jade, caltrop, and balance, the monarch and his subjects compete in black and white.
Every year, the soldiers of Lanke will be seen, and the tears of the surrounding world will be condensed.
There are thousands of rivers and rivers to be rectified, and the State of Wu must repair its appearance when it plans to travel thousands of miles.
Why talk about state affairs with your own hands, forget your worries and sit still until dawn?”
A trace of surprise flashed across Sun Zhiyang's eyes. He liked Li Yi more and tightened his arms." You really have a lot to say. You have a sharp tongue. It's useless to just talk. How do you plan to take back Pingjin State in half a month?"”
Li Yi pretended to be obedient and said,"This depends on how the Duke will help." Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. If you are blind, you can only miss the opportunity.”
Sun Zhiyang smiled and wiped the crumbs off her mouth lovingly. There was a murderous look in his eyes.
"Hu He's rebellion this time was premeditated. Pingjin, Bozhou, Wuxi, and Zhengshui all occupied cities at the same time and rebelled. The north road was led by Commander Lin Shangwen. They left Guangyuan, passed through Merciless Valley, passed Shangjian Cliff, and attacked Songcheng. The west road was led by Commander Du Gonggong from Bozhou to the west, heading straight for Hull City. The south was led by General Li Bai. They left Wuxi, passed Yagu Pass, and attacked Hull City. The east was led by Hu He. They would defend Pingjin City and wait for the other forces to attack Songcheng. Hull City would coordinate with Pingjin from afar and control the iron veins of Great Zhou. They would plan before they acted. They would wait for the opportunity to contend with the imperial court.”
Li Yi looked at him in surprise. He did not expect the situation to be so urgent. No wonder the Crown Prince ordered him to take down Pingjin State in half a month. Although Songcheng and Hull City were part of Changle Prefecture, they were three forces in Pingjin Prefecture. Moreover, it would become the country of the Great Zhou. Pingjin was also bordered by the Bukel grassland and the small Jiajin country that was eyeing them covetously. Once Hu He and the others colluded with the other races to lead troops over, it would be like a steel knife stabbing into the heart of Great Zhou.
But the situation was so urgent, so why was Sun Zhiyang still so calm? He must have a countermeasure.
Li Yi calmed down and probed,"Since the Duke is so calm, he must have a plan in mind, right?" Quite a few words."
Sun Zhiyang looked at her with admiration and his fingertips brushed across her cheek." I really can't scare you. I've already offered a plan for the Emperor. Gather all the troops and attack straight ahead. Gather the forces of the Great Zhou's eight armies and fight a battle of annihilation." He used the elites of the eight armies to fight against Du Gonggong's army. Xu Shan had defeated the rebel army between Bozhou and Hull City, and Du Gonggong had died in battle. Then he led his troops north to Shangjian Cliff and defeated Lin Shangwen. Lin Shangwen had already fled to Guangyuan, and the entire army retreated in panic. He then ordered the 8th Army to return to the south and lure the enemy in. He set up an ambush in Hull City and waited for Li Bai to fall into the trap. Now, it's up to you to take back Pingjin State.”
Li Yi's heart tightened. He said it so casually, but he did not know how many people had died in battle and their families had been destroyed because of his words. He did not expect him to have such ability to resolve the crisis of the Great Zhou so easily. She remained calm, but a bone-piercing chill spread from her fingertips to her entire body. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. Was the sealing of the city related to this battle?
For some reason, so many prefectures and counties had been sealed off, and these prefectures and counties were all within the scope of this battle. Could it be that he was deliberately creating loopholes in an attempt to lure those who had the intention of rebelling to reveal themselves and wipe them out in one fell swoop? Mobilizing the army and raising rations were not something that could be done overnight. They should have been prepared long ago. Such meticulous thoughts, far-reaching strategies, and ruthless methods. What kind of person was he? They sacrificed so many innocent people and trapped them in the city. They did not have enough to eat and traded their children for food just to lure the enemy out and get rid of them quickly. Was it because of the supreme throne and for the eternal stability of the Great Zhou Empire? Or was it for the inviolable authority of the ruler, for their personal desires and ambitions?
How to recover Pingjin? War was cruel, but she couldn't be so heartless and look down on life. She still remembered the first day she came to ancient times. She walked into Yi Zi Street by mistake and saw the pitiful people begging for help. He still remembered the voices of the people when they were cheering for longevity in the drill ground. Living was so difficult for them. They could only rely on the kindness of others. Just for a bowl of gruel, so many families had been destroyed. Now that he was the commander in charge of recovering Pingjin, what should he do? Should he step on the white bones and make contributions? Was he going to use the lives of the pitiful commoners to write his own achievements?
When the country thrives, the people suffer. When the country dies, the people suffer. When can the people live a life without worry? He would truly live and work in peace and contentment.
Sun Zhiyang looked at Li Yi. She was silent, but her expression became uglier and uglier. She was as pale as a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood. It seemed that the war was still too heavy for her.
He pulled Li Yi's hand over. It was so cold that there was no warmth at all. He placed it on his face and rubbed it back and forth before moving it to his lips and kissing her fingers gently.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yi came back to his senses, but he could not pull his hand out, so he could only let him hold it.
"Hu He still doesn't know the situation of the various forces, right? Quite a few words."
Sun Zhiyang looked at her and nodded. He didn't know what she was thinking. However, he was looking forward to how this girl planned to take back Pingjin.
"I want flying feathers, flour, catapults, and catapults. The more the better.”
Sun Zhiyang asked lightly,"You want to attack?"”
Li Yi smiled slyly.”
