The Greatest Uncle of All Heavens

Chapter 35
For several days in a row, the weather was good, the sun was full, and gradually I felt a little like an autumn tiger.

Meng Mansion, inside the gazebo of the other courtyard, the sun is just right in the morning, and Mo Hanshan is playing chess with the girl in yellow, Ms. Meng..
"No, no, I made a mistake!" Ms. Meng was about to regret the chess, but Mo Hanshan stretched out his hand, and an invisible true pressure hit the white chess piece, no matter how hard Ms. Meng tried, she couldn't get it off the chessboard pick up.

Looking at Ms. Meng who was frowning depressedly, and retracted her hand with a somewhat resentful mouth, Mo Hanshan couldn't help smiling slightly and said, "I have no regrets!"

Miss Meng, who was frowning and looking at the chessboard, was thinking about what to do next when footsteps came, and a young couple came to the courtyard.The man was dressed in a gray robe, his face was thin and slightly pale and haggard, obviously sickly, the woman was dressed in a red robe, it was Li Yan and Hong Niangzi.

"Brother Li, it's rare for you to come out. Your complexion looks a lot better today!" Mo Hanshan, who turned his head and saw Li Yan and his wife, couldn't help smiling and got up.

Li Yan, who came down to the gazebo with the help of the red lady, couldn't help bowing his hands to Mo Hanshan: "I've seen King Xia!"

"Hey, Brother Li, there's no need to be so polite between us," Mo Hanshan couldn't help waving his hands and smiling, seeing that Miss Meng who was sitting opposite had stood up knowingly, he couldn't help pointing to the seat opposite and said, "Brother Li , please sit down!"

"Thank you, Ms. Meng!" Li Yan, who nodded slightly to Ms. Meng who got up and stood next to Mo Hanshan, sat down opposite Mo Hanshan.

"I don't know if Brother Li is interested in playing this game with me?" Mo Hanshan asked Li Yan with a smile, pointing to the chessboard on the table in front of him.

Li Yan didn't answer directly, but after carefully looking at the chessboard, he nodded lightly and said: "Li Yan dare to try!"

"Please!" Mo Hanshan smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, and at the same time, he winked at Miss Meng who was beside him. Miss Meng also understood and hurriedly stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Mo Hanshan and Li Yan, and then retreated to Mo Hanshan. beside.

Li Yan, who didn't hesitate much, dropped a stone decisively, and Mo Hanshan immediately picked up a sunspot and dropped it...
The two of you came and went, and in a blink of an eye, Li Yan, who was at a disadvantage at the beginning, quickly reversed his decline and gained the upper hand after playing more than ten pieces each.

"Okay, okay! Surviving a desperate situation and winning in chaos, Brother Li is indeed a superb chess player." Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Mo Hanshan picked up a chess piece, and finally threw it back with a shake of his head and a smile In the chess box.

Li Yan also shook his head and smiled, with a lonely expression on his face, he said: "It is easy to win in chaos, but it is difficult to survive in a desperate situation. In terms of chess skills, Brother Yuan is not weaker than me. Unfortunately, we all misjudged, made the wrong move, and lost. I made a move. I have no regrets when I make a move, and the trend is irreversible. If I make a wrong move, I will lose the whole game..."

"Li Yan, it wasn't you who lost. After all, it wasn't you who played chess, but Li Zicheng. If not, we don't know who will win and who will lose," Mo Hanshan said: "He lost, even his life, the game is full All lose, irreversible. But you are different, you are still alive, as long as you are alive, even if you lose, you lose nothing, and you can win back."

Li Yan, who smiled bitterly, stood up in silence and bowed respectfully to Mo Hanshan, saying, "Li Yan's life was saved by you, King Xia. If King Xia needs it, Li Yan is willing to be one in King Xia's hands." Chess piece. Li Yan greets the lord!"

"Li Yan, you are wrong! You have never been anyone's chess piece. In the future, I want you to be my brother, foot and arm," Mo Hanshan couldn't help smiling when he saw this, he got up and stretched out his hand to help, holding Li Yan's hand and said seriously.

Looking at Mo Hanshan, Li Yan couldn't help but look a little excited and said: "My lord values ​​it so much, Li Yan will devote himself to my lord and die."

"Death? Li Yan! I want you to assist my son in the future. You can't die. Not only can't you die, you have to live well for me. Although the world is about to be settled, it's easy to conquer the country, but it's difficult to defend it! And , The world is so big, and it is not just our corner of China. In the future, we will strengthen China, expand the land and open up borders, and you will have a lot of achievements to make," Mo Hanshan said with a smile and looked up into the distance.

Li Yan couldn't help but stare at him and said: "Since my lord has such great ambitions, Li Yan should do his best to help!"

"Hehe, this is all for later, maybe I don't need to worry about it when the time comes," Mo Hanshan shook his head and smiled, and then greeted Li Yan and his wife: "Come, sit down! Hong Niangzi, sit down too! "

After Mo Hanshan sat down, the red lady who sat down with Li Yan couldn't help but asked: "My lord, where is brother Yuan? We didn't see each other for several months. Now, my lord, you have come here , why don't you see Brother Yuan coming to join you?"

"Yes, my lord! I don't think it's just Brother Yuan, even the people from the Golden Snake Battalion under his command are not here. Could it be that the lord sent him to perform other tasks?" Li Yan couldn't help asking.

Mo Hanshan smiled noncommittally, and asked without answering: "Li Yan, you might as well guess what I asked him to do?"

"This..." Li Yan seemed to ponder after hearing the words, and immediately said in shock, "Could it be outside the pass?"

"Haha...what a Li Yan! How dare you think about it!" Mo Hanshan burst out laughing when he heard that, "That's right, I did send Cheng Zhi to go outside the customs to raid the lairs of the Qing Tartars and block their escape route. This time, I will wipe out all the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the pass."

"The lair of the Manchu Tartars is not so easy to copy, if not..." Li Yan frowned and shook his head, then suddenly thought of something, looked up at Mo Hanshan in surprise and asked hurriedly: "Could it be possible to go?" By sea?"

Seeing Li Yan's reaction, Mo Hanshan couldn't help but smile even wider: "Hehe...that's right, it's just taking the sea route and going straight to the hinterland behind Manqing."

"Sea route...my lord, this is a dangerous move for you! The situation on the sea is unpredictable, just in case" Li Yan couldn't help being anxious.

"Don't worry! If I'm not completely sure, how could I choose to easily send troops to attack from the sea?" Mo Hanshan said with a confident smile: "This time, the Zheng family's navy will accompany him to the outside of the customs. Zheng Chenggong will lead the troops himself. If there is an accident, they should have landed by now. If there is an accident, they may be able to capture Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty in one battle. At that time, the elite of the Eight Banners in Beijing will either flee or surrender."

Li Yan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but said in agitated mood: "If the Tartars escape, I'm afraid they can only choose to go north to the grassland and join the various tribes of Mongolia..."

"But do you think I will easily let them join together and give the Manchu Tartars a chance to come back?" Mo Hanshan asked with a half-smile.

"The Mongolian ministries should also consider whether it is worth fighting against us for the sake of the defeated Manchu Tartars," Li Yan couldn't help saying.

Mo Hanshan shook his head and said with a smile: "Although the Mongols surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they still have deep-rooted pride and courage. Among the Mongolian ministries, there are not people who are far-sighted and ambitious, and they should also understand the truth of the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox. Therefore, they may also help the Tartars. Now, let's see who among the various Mongolian tribes has such courage and courage."

"My lord, you have prepared for a long time. I am afraid that you are waiting for the Mongols to come, so that you can wipe out the restless people in the Mongolian tribes in one fell swoop, so as to deter the Mongolian tribes?" Li Yan, whose eyes flashed, also smiled.

"Shock?" Mo Hanshan, who sipped his tea lightly, sneered and said, "My purpose is not just to shock the Mongolian ministries. Since they were able to submit to the Manchu Qing, they are no longer the Mongolian Yuan they used to be, and they should obey obediently." It belongs to me in China. Otherwise, I can destroy the Manchu Tartars, but I don’t mind letting the blood flow into rivers on the prairie and killing them in pieces. The weak eat the strong, for foreigners, fists and blood are always better than mouths Spit works."
