Dahan Pirate Air Force

So why did you call Zhao Guang here?Do you want to fight?Could it be that the warring faction and the peace-promoting faction in the Shu Kingdom have already begun a fierce struggle?There seems to be no such record in the history books?He remembered that it seemed that only in the later stages of the Shu Kingdom, there was a struggle between war and surrender, but that was to advocate surrender, not to seek peace.

He didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to say politely: "I just returned to Han Dynasty. I haven't touched my hometown yet. I really know very little. I wonder what you want to ask?"

At this time, Deng Liang said: "We know that my dear brother has just returned from a trip and has not seen me in Sangzi. However, my dear brother may have a letter from home. I wonder if there is any news?"

"This..." Zhang Bai thought in his mind. He didn't have the family letter, but he did know the answer they wanted to know.

Zhuge Qiao and Deng Liang must want to know the news about the alliance with Soochow, which is related to the safety of Shu and the future of various families. This is easy to understand.But why were Zhao Guang and Huo Yi also at the banquet? Was it really just a gathering for friends?

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "My dear friends, do you want to know about the Wu-Shu Alliance?"

"Exactly!" Everyone said almost in unison.

"It was not stated clearly in the family letter, but it was mentioned that my eldest brother went to Chengdu with General Deng, the Shu envoy, and asked me to join him as much as possible."

"That's right," Deng Liang slapped his thigh, "that's why I stayed in Chengdu and wanted to return to my hometown with Taifu Zhang."

Deng Liang's portrait of Tai Tu was Zhang Wen.

"Uh...it seems so." Zhang Bai answered with some hesitation.

"Okay, okay! It seems that there is hope for an alliance!" It was Huo Yi who spoke.

"If Master Zhang does come, there is indeed hope for this alliance." Zhao Guang also said.

"It is my father's style to be prudent in public affairs, but since Enpei has family letters as proof, I think it is good." Deng Liang was full of excitement, "If Wu and Shu stop their troops, the southern expedition will be settled! My dear friends, finally There is hope for success.”

So it turns out that Huo Yi and Zhao Guang wanted to get a quota to accompany the army in the Southern Expedition so that they could stand out.I think I have to rely on Zhuge Qiao for this, and rely on him to recommend it to Zhuge Liang!

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhuge Qiao, which shocked him because Zhuge Qiao was staring at him with bright eyes that seemed to have deep meaning.

Zhang Bai didn't know what to do, so he could only smile stupidly at Zhuge Qiao.Zhuge Qiao didn't care. He smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Since General Deng has already set off to return to China, I expect that the alliance will go smoothly. The next thing is to receive the envoys from Wu State, and secondly, we must step up preparations for the southern expedition."

"If Ma joins the army in the southern expedition, he will definitely accompany the army. He has served as the governor of Yueqi and is familiar with the affairs of the southern barbarians. He is also highly regarded by the prime minister. If he doesn't go, no one will go." Deng Liang said.

Everyone nodded, but Zhang Bai secretly slandered, isn't the so-called Ma joining the army just Ma Di?Historically, he just didn't follow Zhuge Liang to conquer Nanzhong.

Zhao Guangze sighed and said: "My father and brother are guarding Yong'an. I don't know if they will join the army. If the alliance is unstable, the defense of Yong'an will still be important. I have no chance. If the alliance is stable, my father and brother will go to the battlefield first. When will it be my turn?" ah!"

"You! Didn't Bosong recommend it to you? Don't look for trouble. Come on, come on, I have to hear good news today. Let's have a drink." Deng Liang suggested with a smile.

It seemed that he didn't care about joining the army in the southern expedition. He was naturally overjoyed when he heard that his father was about to return and that the alliance had been accomplished.

"Shaojun, Manjun, please call the sisters in, and let's have a few drinks together." Huo Yi suddenly spoke here and called Qingyin's class with a smile, which shocked Zhang Bai.

At the top of the moon, in the wing, orioles are singing and swallows are dancing, wine is flowing, and the banquet is still going on.

Zhang Bai also drank too much, lying on the table and falling asleep with a lipstick on his face.Deng Liang and Huo Yi were yelling and teasing the woman about guessing.Zhao Guang, with a sad look on his face, sat chatting under the window with the young master.

Zhuge Qiao sat alone, glancing at Zhang Bai from time to time.

......

It was getting dark the next day, and Zhang Bai suddenly woke up from his dream.In the dream world last night, Zhang Bai entered the moon realm. This was the second dream world.

He looked drowsily at the white moon. There was no rabbit or moonstone.The right hand grew quietly, and eventually it was all over the ground.

After waking up, he found himself lying in his underwear in an unknown place.There is a small stool next to the bed, and my clothes are placed on the stool.He immediately put on his clothes, checked up and down, felt that nothing was missing, and felt a little reassured.

Where the hell is this?

Looking around, I realized that this was a bedroom of a wealthy family. The interior decoration was very elegant and simple.But the more simple it is, the more elegance can be seen in the details. There are few pieces of furniture in the room. The bed I sleep on is the largest furniture. It is surrounded by tents on four sides and screens on three sides. On the screen, jade carvings with landscapes and boats are carved.

There was a chessboard and a smoker on a large lacquer table, and the agarwood curled up, almost invisible.

At the entrance, there is a four-fold lacquered wood screen, with lacquer paintings of gilded rocks, water flow, fishing alone, and bamboo forest. After folding, each painting can be independent, and after unfolding, it can be connected into one painting.

"Great painting!" Zhang Bai was a designer in his previous life and was good at painting. He was immediately attracted by the good painting when he saw it.He stood for a long time without any intention of leaving. He gestured with his fingers, simulating the feeling of using a brush. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The brush used in this lacquer painting is very good!"

"This is the work of the wood sage Zhang Heng. Who would have thought that my dear brother also knows how to paint?"

Zhang Bai was startled and turned around quickly. It turned out to be Zhuge Qiao. "It turns out to be Brother Bosong, I'm so rude!" He quickly bowed to the ground and apologized repeatedly, and Zhuge Qiao returned the favor with a smile.

"My dear brother was drunk last night. Brother Fool didn't know where my dear brother lived, so he took it upon himself to order someone to take you home and stay there for a while. I wonder if you could sleep well last night?"

"Slept very well. I'm sorry, little brother. Thank you Brother Bosong for taking care of me."

"It doesn't matter. My dear brother, why don't you have breakfast first? How about we two have a cup of tea and talk about poetry and painting?"

"Great, great!"

Soon after, the maids brought a copper basin and helped Zhang Bai wash up. They also brought breakfast for the two of them. Then they moved the incense to the corner of the room and added new incense.

Zhang Bai and Zhuge Qiao sat around the table and chatted for a few words. The topic inadvertently turned to the chessboard on the table.Zhuge Qiao invited Zhang Bai to talk about a game, and Zhang Bai readily agreed.

He was able to play Go in his previous life, and he liked this kind of mental gymnastics very much since he was a child. Although he is an amateur, his chess skills can be regarded as a second-level amateur with a certificate.

Regarding ancient Go, he has also played the game records and has some understanding of it.The rules at that time were different from those in modern times. In order to show respect to each other, the elegant chess players started with the four corners of each other staggered and each took their star positions. There were no modern openings such as small eyes and outer eyes.

Zhang Bai was afraid of being disrespectful, so he followed the ancient custom and started to fight with Zhuge Qiao.Zhuge Qiao faced the enemy with a black single pass. According to the ancient style, Zhang Bai should double attack a single pass. However, this method is no longer used in modern Go because it is too costly.

He aimed at the single pass and made a small flying angle. This move was ordinary in modern times, but it was unprecedented in the Han Dynasty.Zhuge Qiao was shocked and didn't know how to deal with it. He looked at the chessboard and then at Zhang Bai, his face full of surprise, and the chess piece in his hand was still holding up.
