In the first ten days of the Snow Moon of the third year, everything was calm in the East China Sea Island Kingdom. Since six months ago, during the moonlight period, Zhu Yitian, Wang Anping, Ximen Rongshan, and Beishan Chenchuan, after Huang Chaoge, once again captured Chang'an City. Ximen Rongshan

Hebei Shanchenchuan resented the various perverse actions of the Prime Minister Dongfang Yuandao in the court, so he launched a general purge of the Prime Minister's Office.

At this critical moment of life and death, Dongfang Yuandao and his son Dongfang Yanguang were like rabbits in three burrows. They fled to Shangjing City in the East China Sea Island Kingdom at the slightest danger, fearing that if they were slow, they would be captured and beheaded by the Tingce Army.

Like father, like son, and sons learn from each other, Dongfang Yanguang himself left behind his son who was only a few months old and the wife that his father did not recognize. But what he didn’t know was that his son Dongfang Xuan

Heaven is the reincarnation of the Nine Stars and the Eastern Auxiliary Star.

If Huang Chaoge was the person who promoted the first Duogunuo tablet for the opening of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the various perverse actions of Dongfang Yuandao as the last state minister of the Tang Dynasty, it was when the Duogunuo tablet fell to the middle.

The person who kicked him hard.

Three months ago, at the time of the moon harvest, the White Tu Kingdom in Leizhou, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, was formally established, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms finally settled down.

The five dynasties are: Later Tang, Later Zhou, Later Sui, Later Jin, and Later Han;

These ten countries are: Beijing Kingdom, Nanyue Kingdom, Jingchu Kingdom, Xishan Kingdom, Sihuang Kingdom, Shuxiang Kingdom, Soochow Kingdom, Baitu Kingdom, South China Sea Island Kingdom, and East China Sea Island Kingdom.

One day in the early part of the snow month of the third year, in the East China Sea island country's Shangjing City, Dongfang Yuandao and Dongfang Yanguang, father and son, stood on the highest tower of the city lord's palace in Shangjing City, looking at the eight islands of coral, Ryukyu, and Diaoyu in the East China Sea island country.

, Zhoushan, Penghu, Gonggu, Wangan, Huayang.

Although it is already the Snow Moon season, the climate in Shangjing City this month is exceptionally sunny, which is very different from usual. It is like going to Jingjing to directly skip the cold winter, and spring comes to Beijing prematurely.

Above the island country in the East China Sea, the sky is blue, the water is clear, and the sea breeze is blowing.

In the morning of this day, the father and son breathed in the humid and salty air of the seaside, and were in a good mood today. So Dongfang Yuandao played Go with his son Dongfang Yanguang on the highest tower of the City Lord's Mansion in Shangjing City.

The father and son set up the chess game, and they sat down. Dongfang Yuandao said: "Son, you hold white and go first."

Dongfang Yanguang picked up Bai Zi, but hung it in mid-air, and said: "The world has been divided into five dynasties and ten kingdoms. The land of China is so huge, but our father and son only occupy these eight small islands in the East China Sea." After speaking, he took Bai Zi away.

It falls on the nineteen horizontal and nineteen vertical points of the chessboard, the centermost point of the three hundred and sixty-one intersections.

Dongfang Yuandao leisurely played a hand of black chips and said: "The land of China is like a huge chessboard. If the world is divided, the spring belonging to the Dongfang family will begin."

Dongfang Yanguang held the white son in his hand and said, "Why is father so confident?" After saying this, he placed the second son.

Dongfang Yuandao held a sunspot in his hand and slowly dropped it on the chessboard while saying slowly: "In this chessboard of China, look at Chang'an from the perspective of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Chang'an City is the center of this chessboard, and

Everyone wants to occupy the center, and eventually

We have to fight against the forces coming from all directions to fight for the city of Chang'an. And we only have these eight islands, but they are on the edge of the big chessboard of the land of China. Just like in Go, the final place of victory is these nineteen horizontal and nineteen islands.

The corner of the vertical corner."

Dongfang Yanguang listened with great interest. He held out a white seed and said, "What father said is absolutely true."

Dongfang Yuandao still slowly dropped a sunspot on the chessboard, and said slowly: "Looking at Chang'an City from the map of the Chinese mainland, the five states of the Central Plains are the center of the chessboard, and the six states of the East China Sea are the last one on the east side of the chessboard.

One vertical line, the six states of the South China Sea are the last ones on the south side of the chessboard.

Horizontally, the Northern Kingdom and the three northwest states are the last horizontal line on the north side of the chessboard. The three countries of Xishan Kingdom, Sihuang Kingdom, and Shuxiang Kingdom are connected together and are the last vertical line on the west side of the chessboard. Two horizontal and two vertical states form a three-dimensional frame.

One hundred and sixty-one intersecting chess games in troubled times, this is the general trend of the world today."

After Dongfang Yanguang listened, he was stunned for a long time before he played the fourth white piece.

Dongfang Yuandao still slowly dropped the sunspots, and said slowly: "The chess game has been decided. It is to pull the Sixteen Youyun States on the land of China, which are not within the chess game, into the center of the chess game, and our Sixteen Islands in the South China Sea

He is the chess player outside the great chess game in this troubled world."

Dongfang Yanguang heard the rise, quickly dropped a white piece, and said: "What should we do to bring the Sixteenth State of Youyun into the center of the chess game?"

Dongfang Yuandao replied: "Do it with profit." Then, he picked up a black stone and drew a line in the east corner of the chess board and said: "Starting from the chess piece of Soochow Kingdom, the northwest of Soochow Kingdom borders Youyun Sixteen

Jizhou, which is connected to South Vietnam in the south

country, facing the Nine Immortals Mountains across the sea to the east. I wrote a strategy to conquer the world with the help of Youyun Sixteen States to Shi Jingfeng. I think his ambition will not help but be tempted." After drawing the route map with sunspots,

The long way to the east places the black stones on the chessboard.

Dongfang Yanguang then asked: "We currently only have the strength of eight islands, how can we quickly expand our strength as chess players?" At the same time, the sixth white stone fell.

Dongfang Yuandao picked up a sunspot, drew another line on the south side of the chessboard, and said: "Leverage our strength and use the power of Liu Huaiyin of the Later Han Dynasty to help us quickly expand our strength. I will tell Liu Huaiyin that if Zhu Yitian is allowed,

When Li Ketian and Zhou Zetian join forces, they must first go to the south to capture the Later Han Dynasty, and then go to the northeast corner to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty. However, the only solution now is to advance and conquer the Han Dynasty.

The Later Jin Dynasty and Shi Jingfeng united to connect the Eastern Wu Kingdom and connect the two dynasties to the Later Tang, Later Zhou and Later Sui Dynasties to form an east-west confrontation situation. Only in this way is it most beneficial to the Later Han Dynasty. Based on my understanding of Liu Huaiyin, this person will definitely go to the Later Jin Dynasty for me

Go contact this matter, after all, I have successfully formed an alliance with Shi Jingfeng at the request of Tang Emperor Li Yu." After saying this, the black man fell on the road to the east.

Dongfang Yanguang took over his father's words and said: "In this way, my father can use this as a condition to let Liu Huaiyin send troops to capture the eight islands of the South China Sea island country and give them to his father. This will not hurt the brotherly feelings of uncle Nangong Chenyu, but also

We can use Liu Huaiyin's hand to take over the South China Sea island country from my uncle without spending a single soldier." After saying this, Dongfang Yanguang proudly dropped the seventh white stone.

Dongfang Yuandao laughed loudly and said: "You really know your father better than your son, that's what it means to be a father." After saying that, he dropped the seventh hand of black stones,

Dongfang Yanguang made his eighth move with a proud look on his face.

Dongfang Yuandao slowly lowered his eighth move and continued: "Son, if you want to gain dominance in these troubled times, you must remember the appearance of this Chinese chessboard.

The father and son played this game of Go for a long time, and then the father and son left for the highest point of the capital city tower.

When the steward of the Lord's Mansion in the capital city came to clean up the chessboard,

I secretly marveled at Master Dongfang Yuandao's chess skills.

The ninth move, white sticks, black goes long, white blocks, black jumps and connects... white loses.

The tenth move, white double attack, black leads... white defeat.

In the eleventh move, Bai Zhengzi was unfavorable...he lost in vain.

Bai Zhengzi's disadvantage...he was defeated in vain.

The fiftieth move is a vain defeat.

The ninetieth move, defeat in vain.

The hundredth move is a failure.

In the middle of the Snow Moon of the third year, while in Shangjing City, Dongfang Yuandao wrote on paper:

Between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, there was the Soochow Kingdom.

If the two dynasties had formed an alliance early and even the Soochow Kingdom had become a powerful lord,

If the other three dynasties form an alliance and launch an offensive to the north,

I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it, but I hope the Lord will make a decision soon.

After Dongfang Yuandao finished writing these fifty-six words, he sent this letter to Shi Jingfeng in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun as the "Shangjing Policy".

A few days later, Shi Jingfeng wrote back a ten-word letter: "I agree to form an alliance. When the matter is completed, it will be matched with the seal of the Prime Minister of the Later Jin Dynasty."

In the last few days of Xueyue in the third year, Dongfang Yuandao received a letter from Shi Jingfeng, burned the letter, and headed for Haizhou City in the Later Han Dynasty.

Liu Huaiyin sat high on the dragon's throne in the Zhaoming Hall, just as Huang Chaoge looked down on himself on the dragon's throne, overlooking the long road to the east from the island country in the East China Sea.

Dongfang Yuandao said straight to the point: "The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the world are now the most divided period in China since the unification of the Qin Dynasty. Looking at the structure of the world now, if Zhu Yitian, Li Ketian, and Zhou Zetian are allowed to unite first,

First go to the south to capture the Later Han Dynasty, and then go to the northeast corner to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, then the world will be stable again."

Liu Huaiyin sneered and said sarcastically: "Sir, you have such a clever plan. Why don't you serve Li Ketian of the later Tang Dynasty? Why do you come to me?"

Dongfang Yuandao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Li Ketian and I have always been at odds with each other when we were at court, and there was also the matter of deliberately delaying the supply of military supplies in the past. If I go to seek refuge now, how can Li Ketian let me go?"

.”

Liu Huaiyin nodded secretly and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yuandao continued: "If your Majesty has the heart to dominate the world, he should join forces with Shi Jingfeng of the Later Jin Dynasty in advance to connect the Eastern Wu Kingdom, connect the Later Han Dynasty with the Later Jin Dynasty, and form an east-west confrontation with the Later Tang, Later Zhou and Later Sui Dynasties.

This situation is the most beneficial to the current situation of the Later Han Dynasty."

Liu Huaiyin felt secretly happy after hearing this, but he still said calmly: "According to what the Lord of Dongfang City said, who do you think is the most suitable person to send to the alliance?"

Dongfang Yuandao said: "I am willing to go, but our family's property is too small and there are many descendants. I am afraid that a hundred years from now, my descendants will compete with each other for the family property and cause disaster within Xiaoqiang."

After hearing this, Liu Huaiyin laughed and said: "This is easy to handle. I will send troops to knock down the South China Sea Island Country and give it to you. From then on, your East China Sea Island Country and South China Sea Island Country will merge into one country."

After Liu Huaiyin heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground with gratitude and said: "If your Majesty is willing to help me like this, I will go through fire and water for your majesty, no matter what."

Liu Huaiyin then promised him benefits and said: "If this is accomplished, I will give you the seal of the Prime Minister of the Later Han Dynasty. You will leave for the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun tomorrow, and I will send troops to conquer the island country in the South China Sea tomorrow. I will come back after the success.

, I will send you the island country of the South China Sea, and I will also present you with the seal of the Prime Minister of the Later Han Dynasty."

Dongfang Yuandao, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed quickly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I want to leave today, but Your Majesty needs to give me a token of alliance."

Liu Huaiyin was overjoyed and said: "I am ready to do it." Then he took out the seal of the lord of Haizhou City.

Then, Dongfang Yuandao stood up slowly, took the seal of the Lord of Haizhou City from Liu Huaiyin, bid farewell to Liu Huaiyin and left Haizhou City.

A few days before the first ten days of the cold month of the third year, he had obtained the seal of the Prime Minister of the Later Jin Dynasty from Youyun Prefecture, as well as the seal of the city lord of Youzhou City, the alliance token given to him by Shi Jingfeng, and then returned to the Later Han Dynasty Hall in Haizhou City all the way east.

.

After Liu Huaiyin saw the seal of the city lord of Youzhou City given by Shi Jingfeng as a token of the alliance, he was so happy that he couldn't help but step down from the dragon chair and personally handed the seal of the Prime Minister of the Later Han Dynasty into the hands of Dongfang Yuandao.

Then he said: "In the past few days, I had too many things to do, so the attack on the island country in the South China Sea was delayed for a while. But don't worry, Prime Minister. I will immediately dispatch tens of thousands of naval troops to march along the Pu River immediately."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Huaiyin ordered several generals from the Zhaohe Palace to dispatch the navy.

A few days later, the South China Sea island country was captured, and Liu Huaiyin personally handed over the seal of the Lord of Shangdu City to the hands of Dongfang Yuandao.

Seven words summary:

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The father and son traveled far and wide.

Just like the cunning rabbit, he is equally cunning and ruthless.

The father and son play a game of chess and control the general trend of the world.
