Chapter 358 No Time
When Lin Xuan got home, he immediately drew the chess pieces and asked someone to carve the chess pieces and make the chessboard.
He was really afraid that Li Yuan would kill him at his house.
Chess was first called Liubo, with six black and white chess pieces.
Chess, which is popular in later generations, is said to have been made by Niu Sengru during the Tang Dynasty.There are 32 chess pieces carved from logs or teeth and bones, half red and half black.
After nearly a hundred years of practice, chess was finalized at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, chess became "a household name" and became a very popular chess activity.The nobles at that time were fond of playing chess.Chess players accounted for more than half of the "Chess Edict" set up by the palace.
Lin Xuan believed that chess should attract Li Yuan more than mahjong.
……
Late autumn dyed the grassland a layer of withered yellow.
The cold wind howled across the plain, and the withered grass swayed with the wind.
On the vast land, a war is going on in a tribe.
The blood was poured on the withered grass on the ground, adding a murderous aura to this vast world.
Towards evening, the invading party was victorious, driving cattle, sheep and horses, and left the broken tribe.
No one paid any attention to the corpses on the ground.
Vultures and wild wolves will help them dispose of the corpses, and it won't be long before these corpses will disappear.
Hu Jiangwenhe led the army and returned to the camp with the spoils. Immediately, soldiers came to report, and Khan called him to discuss matters.
"It's true, Khan. It's already evening, and it's such a cold day, what's the matter?" Hu Jiangwenhe said cursingly.
But now it was wartime, although Hu Jiangwenhe was not happy, he rushed to the royal court with his personal guards and braved the cold wind.
Before dark, Hu Jiangwenhe rushed to the royal court.
Outside the king's tent, Xijir saw Hu Jiangwenhe coming, and hurried up to meet him, and asked, "Why are you here now? Khan has already asked him several times."
Hu Jiangwenhe said unhappily: "What can I do? I was leading the army to destroy a tribe that wanted to join the Western Turks, and I only got the news after I went back."
Higil said: "Stop talking about this, go in quickly."
Hu Jiangwenhe followed Xijill into the king's tent, and saluted the barbarian: "I have seen Khan!"
Yi Nan's face was a little displeased, and he asked, "Boss Hu Jiangwenhe, you informed me this morning, why did you come here until now?"
Hu Jiangwenhe said plainly: "Khan, I led troops to destroy a tribe that wanted to join the Western Turks early in the morning. I returned to the tribe in the evening. I didn't know that Khan had summoned me."
He wasn't worried about what Yi Nan Khan would do to him at all.
Although he nominally belongs to Yinan Khan, he has autonomy over his own tribe.
What's more, he is now at war with the Western Turks, so he is even less afraid.
"Is it really because they want to join the Western Turks, or are you trying to annex those tribes and strengthen your own tribe?" Yi Nan looked at Hu Jiangwenhe with a gloomy expression.
Hu Jiangwenhe looked at Yi Nan, and said in a daze: "Khan, isn't this an order from you? For those tribes that want to join the Western Turks, you can directly send troops to destroy them and deter other tribes."
Yi was so manly that he almost vomited blood.
That's right, he was the one who said that. With the glazed wolves in Western Turks, they were too attractive to those small tribes with wolves as their totems.
Many small tribes took refuge in the Western Turks, and Xue Yantuo fell into a disadvantage in several wars with the Western Turks.
He wanted to use this method to frighten those small tribes.
Who knew that many people in his tribe would take this opportunity to annex those small tribes and strengthen themselves.
Instead, those small tribes strengthened their hearts to seek refuge in Western Turks.
Looking at Hu Jiangwenhe with an innocent face, although Yi Nan was angry, there was nothing he could do.
In normal times, relying on the strength of the tribe he controls and the tribe he belongs to, he would not dare to defy him.
But now that he is fighting with Western Turks, if he is too ruthless, those tribes may defect to Western Turks.
Those tribal leaders took refuge in the Western Turks and could still control their own tribes. For them, the loss was not great.
But he can't, it's impossible for Nishu to accommodate him.
"From now on, you are not allowed to do anything to those small tribes." Yi Nan waved his hand and said.
Hu Jiangwenhe asked: "Those who want to take refuge in the Western Turks will not do it?"
"If you want to take refuge, let them take refuge." Yi Nan said coldly.
If they continue to do this, it is tantamount to helping the Western Turks.
Hu Jiangwenhe said: "Our strength is not as good as that of the Western Turks. If we allow those tribes to join the Western Turks, it will not be long before the Western Turks will have a decisive battle with us."
During this period of time, although the two sides had fought several battles, they were all testing each other and did not try their best.
Although the Western Turks are stronger than Xue Yantuo, they are limited. If one is not good, they may lose to Xue Yantuo.
"Ben Khan is planning to fight against them when the weather gets warmer next year. You just do what Ben Khan said." Yi Nan said coldly.
Seeing the murderous intent in Yi Nan's eyes, Hu Jiangwenhe thoughtfully said nothing.
If you push Yi Nan into a hurry and really attack him, you will be in trouble.
……
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
"Khan, are you alright?" Qilaubatel asked with some concern.
Nishu clenched his hands calmly and said, "It's okay, it's just that the weather suddenly became cold and I suffered from the cold. How many tribes have you gathered recently?"
Qilaobateer said: "Back to the Great Khan, because of Xue Yantuo's 'help', a total of 21 small tribes have joined recently, plus the previous ones, adding nearly 5000 soldiers to our Western Turks."
"That's right, that idiot Yi Nan helped me a lot." Nishu sneered.
Qilaobatar asked, "Is the Great Khan ready to attack?"
Nishu nodded, and said, "That's right, as soon as the weather warms up, we can directly fight and destroy Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop."
He has no objection to doing it, but it is not appropriate to do it in such a hurry.
Those tribes before the Western Turks had always been obedient to the mud.
Although Nishu's prestige has been greatly increased by virtue of the glazed wolf, it still takes time to integrate with so many small tribes.
Qilaobateer asked with some doubts: "Khan, didn't you say before that you will do it next autumn? Did something happen?"
Nishu said: "Ben Khan is worried about Datang. If it drags on for a long time, Yi Nan knows that he can't beat us. What if he joins Datang?"
"Even if Yi Nan wants to join Datang, the tribal leaders under him will not agree." Qilaobatar disagreed with this explanation.
For the various tribes of Xue Yantuo, they are more willing to seek refuge in the Western Turks than the Great Tang.
Datang is a centralized system, and it is impossible for Datang to let them continue to control the tribe.
On the contrary, taking refuge in Western Turks is just a change of sweat, and they will not lose anything.
As long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose.
Qibatel felt that the muddled worry was completely unnecessary.
Nishu said: "It's still possible, isn't it? Well, let's go to the afternoon first. When is the decisive battle, we will talk about it later."
"Yes!" Qilaobateer saluted and retreated.
Ni Shu spread out his hands, only to see a pool of blood on his palm.
"I want to wait too, but I don't have time." Nishu said flatly.
There are several doctors who were looted from the Tang Dynasty in the Western Turks. After their diagnosis, he can live for at most two years.
He didn't want to believe it, and sent people to find some doctors from the Western Regions, but the results were almost the same.
Thank you Kunpeng for your reward.
