Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 471
"I heard that chess was invented by the uncle of Jingyang County. I wonder if this is a rumor or the truth?"

After Wang Zhe arranged all the chess pieces, he looked at Zhang Yi with a smile.

Since chess came out, it can be said to be popular all over the world, even those in the army think it is very interesting.

Moreover, chess is not as complicated as Go, and it is easy to learn. The threshold is low, and naturally more people play it.

Now many people in the army will come to "kill" two games when they are free. Some chess players with good chess skills can attract many people to come to watch chess, which is very lively.

Zhang Yi smiled without saying a word, silently set up the chess pieces and made a gesture of invitation for Wang Zhe to go first.

Wang Zhe also just learned how to play chess not long ago. He heard that Zhang Yi invented it, so he took it out to play against Zhang Yi.

As a novice like him, he couldn't beat Zhang Yi, and he was defeated by General Zhang Yi within a few steps.

And the two of them played chess successfully to attract everyone's attraction to the chessboard, and less attention was paid to Qingtang City.

After a few games of chess, it was dusk.

"That's it for today, let's go back first." Zhang Yi stood up and stretched his muscles.

In one afternoon, he insisted on bringing Wang Zhe's chess skills to the fore. Wang Zhe was completely slaughtered from the beginning, and he was able to start defeating Zhang Yi's army in the last game just now.

"Well, that's it for the time being. Everyone, go back and prepare for it. We may have a big move tomorrow."

Although Wang Zhe was fascinated by playing chess, he did not forget the business. The internal strife in Qingtang City is so serious today, and it will definitely be very easy for them to attack Qingtang tomorrow.

But even though he said that, Wang Zhe's eyes still didn't leave the chessboard.

Zhang Yi hurriedly left. If he didn't leave, Wang Zhe would have to come and have a long talk with him tonight. Well, the topic must be inseparable from chess.

Everyone tidied up a bit and then returned to the big tent.

Because of the wisdom Zhang Yi showed today, as well as his prophecy, those generals have nothing to say, that is to say, Zhang Yi has convinced those generals.

If he is convinced, naturally no one will question his words anymore.

After everyone went back, Xu Jingzong also went back with Zhang Yi.

"Why are you so sure that those Tibetans will fight among themselves?"

Xu Jingzong has always been a safe and old-fashioned person, Zhang Yi's approach today is indeed a bit risky, and he has no bottom in his heart.

If those Tubo people don't play their cards according to common sense, wouldn't Zhang Yi be in danger?Besides, Wang Zhe ordered the withdrawal of troops only after obtaining his own permission. There was a problem with Zhang Yi, how could he avoid it.

Xu Jingzong's little heart speeded up again today.

In fact, after staying with Zhang Yi for a long time, Xu Jingzong really felt that his heart was much better, and it beat faster and stronger than before.

Knowing that Xu Jingzong was worried, Zhang Yi said reassuringly, "Don't worry, without that diamond, I wouldn't have taken on that porcelain job. I dare to say those words, and I have the confidence and basis in my heart. "

"Actually, it's not that complicated. You just need to have confidence in our economic warfare and analyze the situation in the city in depth."

"How much green salt did we transport to Qingtang in total, how much green salt did Sahazhuo transport outside to sell, how much green salt is left in Qingtang, how much green salt is consumed per capita in Qingtang, as long as you put these The data investigation is clear, and a simple calculation, don't you know how much salt is left in the city?"

"Even if some uncertain factors are added, the population of Qingtang is here, and a little more or less won't have much impact."

As soon as Zhang Yi said that, he counted Xu Jingzong directly.

Listening to Zhang Yi's calculations, Xu Jingzong suddenly felt that it made sense. They just didn't know how to do the calculations. If they did, then they could easily come up with a theory based on this data.

But when did Zhang Yi get those data?

Xu Jingzong looked at Zhang Yi with questioning eyes, and Zhang Yi just smiled and pointed to the place where they imprisoned Sahazhuo.

During the days when Xu Jingzong came back early, Zhang Yi had been wandering around Qingtang. He liked to discuss some salt industry data about Qingtang with Sahazhuo, so he knew these aspects well.

At that time, Sahazhuo didn't have any defensive attitude towards Zhang Yi, and told everything he knew in his heart.

After Zhang Yi said that, Xu Jingzong was relieved.

It turned out that it wasn't a whim, as long as Zhang Yi's actions were well-founded, his heart would feel better.

"I just heard from General Wang Zhe that there will be actions tomorrow. What do you think of this matter?"

Xu Jingzong continued to ask, he was really afraid of Zhang Yi now, so he also wanted to test Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi smiled and said to Xu Jingzong: "Don't worry, I won't be so reckless tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry today, that's why I did this. Tomorrow, we must be safe from wind and rain." move."

Zhang Yi's words made Xu Jingzong laugh.

"It's not that serious. You just need to be less aggressive. In terms of economy, maybe you know better, but in terms of war, we don't know as much as General Wang Zhe and the others."

Xu Jingzong taught Zhang Yi in the tone of someone who had experienced it, but Zhang Yi just listened to the teaching with a smile.

Of course, whether you can listen to it or not is another matter.

The two chatted and returned to the barracks.

Having nothing to say all night, Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong approached Wang Zhe early the next morning, and followed them to Qingtang City.

After a night of internal strife and riots in Qingtang City, it is now completely chaotic.

Originally, the conflict was only in Dongcheng District, and the people in Dongcheng District clashed with the Tubo army.

Later, people in Xicheng District, Beicheng District, Nancheng District and other districts, fearing that they would not be spared, rose up to support Dongcheng District.

And the Tubo general certainly couldn't let these people make such a fuss, so he directly transferred all the Tubo troops who were originally stationed on the city wall back to the city to maintain law and order.

Tens of thousands of Tubo troops fought fiercely with tens of thousands of armed civilians in Qingtang City. You don't need to experience that scene personally. Just thinking about it is exciting.

It was very lively at night, and when Zhang Yi and the others arrived outside Qingtang City in the morning, they could still see black smoke rising from the city.

"Uncle Jingyang County, tell me, should we hit Qingtang today?"

Wang Zhe reined in his horse outside Qingtang City to ask Zhang Yi, and behind Wang Zhe were tens of thousands of soldiers from the Frontier Army of the Tang Dynasty.

"Haha, General Wang has already made a fuss about it, so why ask me, since you want to fight, the other side will simply take down the Qingtang at once!"
