    ¡°Everything in the world is like a game of chess. With a thought of the chess player, the little chess pieces have to run from one distant position to another.  The same emperor's imperial decree transferred Xiao Yi from Yanmen Frontier Fortress in northern Xinjiang to Luoyang, a thousand miles away in Zhongzhou.

    After receiving the order, Xiao Yi immediately brought six brave generals including Daniu, Ma Liuzhangzhuan, Yang He, and all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Cavalry. Even Fatty Cao, who was in charge of logistics and military supplies, was not left behind. All the troops were dispatched.  Escorting the prefect Zhang Yang, they set off immediately and traveled day and night to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty. Because they were all cavalry troops, and the counties and counties along the way provided food and grass, which reduced the burden of baggage, the march was extremely fast, climbing over mountains and mountains along the way.  Ridge, passing through the city and the county without stopping; just half a month later, the large group of people followed the official road and entered the boundary of Sizhou where Luoyang, the eastern capital, belongs.

    Sizhou, also known as Sili Xiaoweibu, has jurisdiction over seven counties and 106 counties. Its political status is as important as the capital municipality of China in later generations. It is irrigated by the Yellow River and Luoshui. It has fertile land, dense population, and merchants from all directions.  It is even more concentrated here, the economy is extremely developed, and it is the essence of the entire Eastern Han Empire.

    Entering Sizhou means that Luoyang is in sight. The prefect Zhang Yang, who was speeding all the way, suddenly gave an abnormal order, asking the team to slow down, then slow down, and keep slowing down. In the end, they almost stopped in place.  Zhang Yang himself also appeared abnormal. When camping, he tossed and turned all night and had difficulty falling asleep. Two dark circles soon appeared on his eyes. Even when marching on horseback during the day, he was always in a trance and seemed to be repeating.  What he was thinking about has never been determined; so much so that he almost fell off his horse several times. If Xiao Yi, who was guarding him, had not supported him with quick hands and eyes, I am afraid that the prefect would have lost a few front teeth when he met the saint.  .

    Although they are walking very slowly, the team is still moving southward. After crossing Luoshui, they are already close to their destination. If nothing happens, they will arrive at the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, at noon tomorrow.

    Along the march, Xiao Yi would carefully select a campsite each time. Stationing a large army was no joke. There were many battle lines that were wiped out because they did not choose a campsite well. You must choose a place where there is danger to defend and water to rely on.  There is a way to retreat, and you can't camp in a place that is too low. Otherwise, if there is a storm, you will be waiting for a 'flooding of the seven armies'!  Similarly, places with too lush vegetation are not suitable for camping, and you must be vigilant about burning camps!

    At dusk, Xiao Yi chose to camp on a small barren mountain by the Luoshui River. Although it was still peaceful time, he still scattered dozens of reconnaissance rangers and arranged them at several key positions near the camp.  Two groups of sentinels, one bright and one dark, is a trick learned from a military-themed TV series with high ratings in later generations. Although it is simple, it is absolutely practical and completely improves the safety factor of the camp to a higher level; Xiao Yi will lead the army in the future.  Countless people, although they have suffered defeats, have never been robbed of their campsite, it is precisely because of this!

    Everyone quickly started setting up tents and erecting fences in the camp. Others fetched water from the Luo River, set up military iron cauldrons and started cooking food. Everything was as orderly as usual training; a bonfire was quickly built.  It started to burn, and the aroma of food wafted in the air. Although the soldiers had been running around for a day and were already hungry, they still ate in batches according to the marching eating regulations. They did not relax their vigilance at all because this was peacetime.

    At night, after personally inspecting the camp, Xiao Yi strode towards the Chinese army's tent. The lights there were bright and there were people moving around. It was obvious that the prefect was still thinking anxiously. As a time traveler, Xiao Yi  I can completely understand Zhang Yang's mood at this time. The current Luoyang City can be said to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces. But at the same time, this is also a good opportunity to rise to the top. What a thought in heaven!  One thought of hell!

    Thinking about it makes people excited: "A grand historical drama is about to open in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Empire. Countless heroes and heroes are about to appear on the stage; there are mediocre emperors, incompetent generals, treacherous ministers, cruel  Warlord and by the way, Diao Chan, one of the four beauties, is so excited when I think about it, what a mess!"

    "I have a headache!" After thinking for a while, Xiao Yi shook his head vigorously, unable to completely clear his thoughts, "The real history is too complicated to think clearly, so I just don't think about it; but there is one thing that can be done  "I'm sure it's such a wonderful historical drama that I can't miss it, and I have to play an important role in it! However, will I leave my name in history! Or will I be infamy for eternity?" with a deep smile.  , touching his nose lightly, Xiao Yi strode into the military tent

    Sure enough, in the big tent, the prefect Zhang Yang was walking around in a brand-new court uniform and touching his clothes from time to time.It is obvious that he attaches great importance to this court uniform. A Go board made of rosewood is placed on the ground. The two black and white pieces on it are like two teams of soldiers and horses fighting desperately. The game has reached the middle game, and the situation is abnormal.  It is so intricate that the black and white are intertwined with each other. There is me among you, and you among me. It is impossible to tell the winner from the loser, or even the enemy from ourselves. At this time, there is no one else in the big tent except Zhang Yang. Obviously, this gentleman has been using  Playing chess with your left hand and right hand, it is strange that such a chess game can determine the winner.

    People can¡¯t really defeat themselves, just like it¡¯s impossible to really tell the winner between your left and right hands, but in Luoyang City, the emperor¡¯s left and right hands were fighting to the death, and it was hard to tell the winner

    "Xiao Yi, you come from a famous family, so you must be proficient in chess skills. Now the two black and white pieces are intricate and entangled. Can you tell who wins and who loses?" Zhang Yang stopped when he saw Xiao Yi walking in from outside the tent.  Footsteps asked a seemingly unrelated question.

    People in the officialdom speak implicitly. They are nominally asking about the chess game. In fact, they just want to hear Xiao Yi's views on the current situation. Today's Luoyang is like this chessboard. The two black and white pieces on it are, with 'ten'.  There are two political forces: the eunuchs headed by Chang Shi'; and the relatives headed by General He Jin. Originally, the relatives and eunuchs were derivatives of the imperial power, just like two puppets played by the emperor. However, as time went by,  Now these two puppets have their own thoughts and are no longer controlled by their master

    When gods fight, little devils suffer. As a feudal official, Zhang Yang must face the problem of taking sides when he comes to Beijing this time. If he takes the right side, he will be promoted to an official position; if he takes the wrong side, he will be doomed!  If you don¡¯t stand, haha!  That is a place of death without burial

    "How dare you make such false statements as a general and an officer with a low position?" Necessary humility is still necessary, even though you know it is false.

    ¡°There are only you and me here, so it¡¯s okay to just say it!¡±

    "No!"

    After thinking for a while, Xiao Yi slowly said: "From the general's perspective, the black and white pieces are now evenly matched in this chess game, and no one can really capture the other, so the key to victory or defeat is no longer in the chess game, but in the chess game.  Outside the chess game!" As he spoke, Xiao Yi took off the sword from his waist and placed it in the middle of the chess board.

    The current political forces of the Han Dynasty are divided into three groups, eunuchs, relatives, and noble families; but the former two have been fighting fiercely and happily over the years, making people ignore the forces of the noble families that are deeply hidden behind them.  Nowadays, the eunuchs and the relatives are evenly matched, and both sides are exhausted. At this time, the power of the noble family becomes the key. Whoever the noble family helps will win the game.

    Zhang Yang's eyes lit up immediately after he understood the meaning. Xiao Yi's reminder suddenly opened his mind, and he began to truly think out of the game. As a bystander, he saw clearly many problems that had been puzzling before.

    "Which side of the chess game does Xiao Lang think this sword will be placed on?" Zhang Yang asked quickly with an excited look on his face, and changed his title to a friendly honorific: "Xiao Lang!" This title has long been followed.  That "Chi You Ghost Face" became famous in the four counties of Yanmen.

    ¡°The last general heard that the ¡®Ten Constant Attendants¡¯ were selling their posts at a public price, ¡°Since Guanneihou, Huben, and Yulin, each has a price difference; the three princes have 10 million yuan, and the minister has 5 million yuan.  An official rank of two thousand shi is priced at 20 million yuan; an official rank of 1,000 shi is priced at 10 million yuan, and so on - each county magistrate and chief are in short supply, and the price depends on the size of the county and the wealth and poverty of the people.  Xiao Yi did not return to the question directly, but instead talked about something that seemed unrelated.

    How could Zhang Yang, who was experienced in officialdom, not understand the profound meaning? For hundreds of years, the way of selecting officials in the Han Dynasty has been firmly controlled by the nobles through the method of "filial piety and integrity".  Selling officials for money not only seriously harmed the interests of the noble families, but also brought great humiliation to these officials who regarded themselves as Confucian scholars. In the past, the eunuchs used the imperial power to become arrogant, so the nobles had to temporarily give in; now Han Ling  The emperor's body is getting weaker day by day, and the relatives and eunuchs are evenly matched. It is self-evident which side the noble clans and clans as the third force will take.

    "Xiao Lang is worthy of being the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He is really wise and far-reaching!" Nowadays, the situation in Luoyang city is changing. Many experienced politicians cannot clearly see the situation in front of them. Unexpectedly, the seventeen-year-old boy in front of him can speak in just a few words.  He analyzed the situation so thoroughly that Zhang Yang, the governor, couldn't help but praise him.

    After thinking about the questions along the way, he finally got the answer. Zhang Yang's originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and bursts of fatigue began to appear on his face.

    "My lord, please rest early, it's time to enter Luoyang City tomorrow!"

    "Okay, Xiao Lang has had a hard journey, you should rest early!"

    "No!"

    When he walked to the door of the big tent, Xiao Yi turned around and took a cold look at the chess game. In fact, there was something he didn't say. In addition to the results of one win and one loss, there is also an extremely tragic chess game in Go.  It's called¡ª¡ªboth sides suffer!
