Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

There were originally 80,000, and another 50,000 came. Someone who knows how to count will calculate it for Ye Haoran! His head hurts a little!

"Is Yelu Liangcai very famous?" Ye Haoran asked Li Xian while holding his head!

"More than just famous! He is the best in Khitan. He is proficient in literary talent, calligraphy, Buddhism, and military deployment. He has studied in the Tang Dynasty since he was a child! In the capital Chang'an, he is the invincible existence of the younger generation!"

"So how is his martial arts?"

Uh⊙?⊙!

Li Xian was stunned by Ye Haoran's question!

This is a battlefield! Who can compete with him in literary talent? No matter how literary he is, he can be knocked down with one punch! No need to worry!

At noon, Niu Fangda's 5,000 infantrymen also entered the city one after another!

The army defending the city has reached nearly 20,000 troops. Although it is still outnumbered compared to the Khitan army of over 100,000, at least they have the confidence to defend the city!

On the city wall, you can see the Khitan army approaching slowly, with drums beating and their neat square formations carrying a subtle sense of oppression!

This time, the Khitan army did not besiege the city. Instead, they all gathered at the north gate and set up camp 500 meters away from the city wall!

They even set up a few caltrops, and if you didn't know, you would think they were the defending side!

What did Yelu Liangcai want to do? Wanyan Hong had never done these things before!

Just as Ye Haoran was wondering, a Khitan messenger came to the city holding a white flag!

"Open the city gate and let him in!" I was worried that I couldn't guess the other party's intentions!

"Tie Niu, go to the North Parade Ground and pass on my military order. Order the Black Armor Army to line up at the North City Gate to welcome the guests!"

When the Khitan messenger entered the city, he was so frightened by the iron-blooded and murderous Black Armor Army in front of him that his legs and feet went limp!

Ye Haoran sat in the center of the lobby in the government office, with a group of military generals standing on his left and right!

The Khitan messenger walked in tremblingly!

"If you have something to say, just fart!" Ye Haoran shouted impatiently!

The messenger fell to his knees with a thud:

"The Marshal has a letter for General Li. Please open it yourself, General Li!" He took out a letter!

"Accept it!"

Ye Haoran took the letter and opened it directly!

Dear General Li:

I have heard of the might of the Tang Dynasty's military god. To save lives, Liangcai invites the general to go out of the city and play chess! If the general wins, Pingzhou will be saved. If Liangcai wins, the general will retire! Liangcai will be waiting for you between the two armies at noon tomorrow!

Play chess?

Not bad!

"Go back and tell your marshal that this general will be on time tomorrow!" We cannot weaken our momentum at any cost!

The Khitan messenger retreated!

It seems that the Khitans don't know that Li Jing has left Pingzhou City. Yelu Liangcai is obviously afraid of Li Jing and doesn't dare to attack the city easily!

The governor Li Xian hurried out from the back hall:

"General Ye, you want to leave the city tomorrow? You absolutely cannot! If the Khitan thieves take the opportunity to attack the city, Pingzhou City will be in danger!"

"Li Fu Mu, do you know that if I had shown any weakness just now, the Khitan army would have launched an attack on the city tomorrow? We are weak now, and reinforcements will take time! We should delay as much as possible! Li Fu Mu should understand this principle!"

Li Xian's face turned red and he stopped talking!

I really don’t want to deal with these civil servants. They are either as timid as mice or as cunning as foxes!

A speechless night!

early morning!

Ye Haoran arrived at the north city wall early, Niu Fangda?

Niu Fangda arrived earlier than him!

"The cows are up pretty early!"

"It's not too late for General Ye Lang to get up!"

The two looked at each other and laughed! As the saying goes, the right time, right place, and right people are all important. The same is true for playing chess! In order to defeat the old man in Yunmeng Mountain, Ye Haoran took great pains, so he naturally would not ignore these things!

"One hundred and thirty feet is the center line, and the cavalry can arrive there in just five breaths!" Niu Fangda said in a deep voice!

"In autumn and winter, at noon, the sun is in the south, which is good for me!" Ye Haoran said calmly!

"Brother Ye, are you sure you can beat him?"

“Full of confidence!”

When Ye Haoran brought Shitou, Tieniu, Baolin and Luo Chen to the center line of the two armies, five riders also came out of the Khitan camp, and the two sides looked at each other!

"You are not Li Jing!" The man who spoke had a handsome face and a light scholar's air! Is this Yelu Liangcai? Sure enough, he was the one who was knocked down with one punch! However, the four old guys behind him had a long breath and rich spiritual energy. They were not easy to mess with!

"How can General Li bully the weak? I am General Li's adopted son and I fully represent General Li!" Ye Haoran came up with the words he had thought of long ago!

"Okay! Since that's the case, let's decide the winner on the chessboard!" Yelu Liangcai didn't hesitate!

But when the four old men set up the chessboard, Ye Haoran was dumbfounded!

This is fucking Go!

"What's wrong? You don't know how to play Go?" Yelu Liangcai stared at Ye Haoran jokingly!

"What a joke! Go is a product of the Central Plains, how could I not know it! Nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, three hundred and sixty-one intersections, and ten to the power of one hundred and seventy-two variations! How much do you know?" Ye Haoran showed off the results he got from Baidu in his previous life!

Sure enough, Yelu Liangcai's eyes showed a hint of caution. Although he didn't understand what the second power was, he felt it was very powerful!

The four old men set up the chessboard and retreated ten feet away. Ye Haoran also waved his hand and Tie Niu and others also retreated ten feet!

"Don't stand there stupidly, sit down and rest!" Ye Haoran said to Tie Niu!

Both parties join the game!

"You are a guest from afar, please come first!" Ye Haoran made a generous gesture of invitation!

"Then I won't be polite!" Yelu Liangcai was really rude and played black first!

"Brother Liangcai, it would be too unsatisfying for you and me to just play one game. How about we play best of five games?" Ye Haoran was not in a hurry to make a move. He looked up at Yelu Liangcai!

"As you wish!" Yelu Liangcai smiled and nodded!

So the game of chess officially began, and Yelu Liangcai made his moves cautiously, while Ye Haoran also thought for a long time before making each move!

An hour later, Yelu Liangcai looked at Ye Haoran's white pieces in confusion. There was no pattern at all! There were only a few pieces left! Defeat was inevitable!

"Are you sure you can play Go?"

"Don't be happy too soon. You have come from far away, so I will let you play a game first to avoid embarrassing you! Let's stop here today! Go is too brain-intensive!" Ye Haoran stood up and rubbed his head!

He mounted his horse and returned to the city under Yelu Liangcai's speechless gaze!

"Brother Liangcai, we will continue tomorrow!"

Returning to the city and looking at Li Xian, Niu Fangda stared at Ye Haoran eagerly!

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest first! Don't disturb me!" After saying that, he disappeared in front of everyone!

"Tie Niu, what happened to General Ye Lang?" Niu Fangda asked!

"Maybe he's shy!" Cheng Tieniu said seriously!
