Chapter 56: A Grandmaster in Name, but a Wandering Ghost in Reality

"Clap!"

The round chess pieces fell onto the chessboard, and the powerful sound made people unconsciously tremble.

On the square chessboard, black and white chess pieces are crisscrossed.

At the two ends sat two old men in military uniforms.

The king of mountains is Yanglin, and the male fish is Juluo from Gaotang.

"call……"

Yu Juluo let out a breath and slowly put down the black piece in his hand.

Black and white are intertwined on the chessboard.

But with just a quick look, you can see that the black dragon has been firmly locked.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of chess can understand that the outcome of this game has been decided.

But if someone studies it carefully, they might find it.

The layout of the chess pieces on the board is completely different from the usual way of playing Go.

The connecting line between the black and white chess pieces looks more like the formation of two armies.

Yang Lin used the white pieces to attack, while Yu Juluo used the black pieces to defend along the line.

It was obvious that the two men were playing chess, but in fact they were rehearsing the current battle situation between the two armies on the chessboard.

At this time, Yang Lin also put back the white piece in his hand.

"Fu Cailin didn't show up? And what about the person who set up the formation in Liaodong earlier?"

Yang Lin opened his mouth, especially in the second half, and even couldn't help but use emphasis.

At the beginning of the attack on Liaodong, they all suspected that the man was Yeon Gaesomun, the leader of the Goryeo military.

After all, he is the only one in Goryeo who can do this.

But as the war in Liaodong progressed, this speculation was soon overturned.

In a word, Yeon Gaesomun does not have such ability.

He could use formations to force Yang Lin to take action personally, or even mobilize the Xiaoguo Army.

There are not many such people in the world, and there are obviously no such people in Goryeo.

It is obvious that foreign forces have intervened.

They don't know exactly where it came from.

But on the battlefield, such a powerful military strategist must undoubtedly be taken seriously.

This kind of attention even exceeds that of Fu Cailin.

No matter how strong Fu Cailin is, he is just one person after all. He can't make any waves in front of hundreds of thousands of troops.

But the unknown person was different.

A military master or powerful commander who is hidden somewhere unknown may very likely change the course of a war.

“None of them showed up!”

Yu Juluo spoke slowly.

The military master who inexplicably appeared in Liaodong City, the battle report about Gao Changsheng sent by Zhang Xutuo, and Fu Cailin who appeared in two places at the same time.

Put these together.

How could the two of them not have imagined that many unknown hands had already penetrated into Goryeo.

"Forget it, the most important thing right now is to break through Goryeo's defense line!"

"No matter how deep they hide, they will jump out sooner or later."

"We don't have to worry so much. No matter how many plots he has, as long as our army breaks through the two lines of defense, we can occupy the Liaohe River."

"No matter how much they plan, they are powerless in the face of the general trend!"

Yang Lin spoke calmly.

His eyes turned to the chess pieces on the board.

"By the way, how are the boys from those families performing?"

Hear this!

Yu Juluo couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of this, news came from Jianzhang, which was quite beyond my expectations." "There is no need to talk about Yang Xuangan. Yang Su's son can't be that bad."

"But among the others, there is not a single mediocre person."

"The boy from the Yuwen family is a little weak in the art of war, but his strength is not bad. He is a good candidate for the brave warrior faction. The one from the Luo family is not bad either."

"As for the other two..."

Yu Juluo's voice sounded somewhat formal.

Yang Lin also showed curiosity when he heard this.

"Jianzhang can be described in two words: stunning!"

"Oh?"

Yang Lin became interested!

Yu Juluo continued, "Back then, Han Qinhu's Qimen formation was a masterpiece!"

"According to Jianzhang's battle report, Pharmacist Li has completely inherited this method. He surrounded the city with eight gates and suppressed the guards of Xuanxu City. Moreover, he seemed to have come up with some unique ideas in the marching and deployment, and he seemed to be even better than his master!"

"Li Shimin of the Li family did the same. He first led his army to break through the Hengshan Pass, and then marched straight in. Judging from the formation, he wanted to pass through and attack Gaimu or Baiyan directly!"

“The accuracy of the landing and the boldness of the march are both eye-catching.”

"In addition, according to Jianzhang, this boy is quite unique in commanding the cavalry, which gave him some signs."

Having said that, Yu Juluo raised his head slightly and glanced somewhere outside the tent.

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"Good, good, the younger generation is full of talented people. It seems that our Great Sui Dynasty is destined to have a long-lasting military prosperity!"

The hearty laughter shook the big tent from side to side.

"But when Brother Yu mentioned Li Shimin, I couldn't help but think of his younger brother!"

Hearing this, Yu Juluo paused for a moment, and then said with emotion:
"Li Yuanba! This boy's physique is truly rare in the world!"

"It's a pity that he is so ignorant, like a child, otherwise he would be a brave warrior!"

Yang Lin also shook his head silently:

"When water is full, it overflows; when the moon waxes, it wanes; how can anything in the world be perfect?"

"But at first glance, there seemed to be a Taoist aura in Li Yuanba's body. Who made the move in advance? Could it be Ning Daoqi?"

Yang Lin opened his mouth, but as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly shook his head.

"It seems that I have been influenced by some rumors and would even think in this direction..."

After hearing this, Yu Juluo couldn't help but smile softly.

"Ning Daoqi is nothing but a wandering ghost. He doesn't even have any basic inheritance, but instead seeks the truth from Buddhism. How can he be considered a Taoist?"

Yang Lin smiled casually: "It is indeed extremely stupid!"

"Which sect, Zhengyi Quanzhen, Sanshan Fulu, or even Louguan Tianshi, doesn't have a powerful heritage? Such a choice is really incredible!"

Yu Juluo raised his eyes and said, "It's nothing more than a combination of interests! One is the technique, the other is luck!"

"The so-called three great masters are obviously promoted by Buddhism."

"Let's not talk about other masters of the Great Sui Dynasty. Let's just talk about the contributions of the two alien races, Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin, to their respective countries. How can Ning Daoqi be ranked on the same level?"

Yang Lin sneered when he heard this: "The path of luck is so mysterious. If it were so easy to seek, it wouldn't be Ning Daoqi's turn!"

"It's better not to mention this person!" Yang Lin shook his head again.

"Li Yuanba, the Taoist sect acted so quickly, it seems that they want to train a guardian general?"

Yu Juluo shook his head: "Which faction it is, I can't sense it from just one side."

"But the two sons of the Li family are indeed outstanding people, and Li Shimin doesn't seem to be the eldest son, and I haven't heard that Li Yuan has any other intentions!"

Yang Lin instantly understood what the other party meant.

His eyes moved, but he quickly shook his head:

"The Li family does have many problems, but we don't need to consider them for now. Even if the eldest son of the Li family is also outstanding, what can the Li family do?"

Yang Lin said firmly: "From the noble families to the officials in the imperial court, who doesn't have his own little thoughts?"

"As long as our Great Sui Dynasty remains strong, they will be the pillars of the country."

"Besides, I am not dead yet! Even if the Li family has some thoughts, they can only keep them to themselves!"
