The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 164 Chess is like life

At this moment, Feng Jiuxiao was playing chess with Yuan Zishan in the corridor on the second floor.Feng Jiuxiao didn't expect Yuan Zishan's interest in chess to be so deep, and her level of chess skills is also very high!The two fought so well that they were evenly matched!
Five Persians surrounded Feng Jiuxiao to watch the battle.

They don't know much about Central Plains Chess, so Feng Jiuxiao introduced the rules of Central Plains Chess to Ardasil and others while playing chess.

Chess in the Central Plains originated very early, and it was recorded as early as the pre-Qin period. "Chu Songs Calling the Soul" "Chess hides chess, there are six books; Cao advances side by side, and Qiu is forced; Cheng Xiao fights, call five whites."

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Xiangqi, also known as Saixi, became popular.It is also called "Ge Wu".

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu made the "Xiang Jing", Wang Bao wrote "Xiangxi·Preface", Geng Xin wrote "Xiangxi Jingfu", and the development of chess has reached another level.

By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, chess games had become popular!It is also one of the main entertainment items for dignitaries, even surpassing horse riding and archery for a time!
Empress Wu Zetian is one of the most famous supporters. "The Twelve Remonstrances of Tang Gong" records: Zetian slept until the third watch, and had another dream. He played chess against Daluo Tiannv.In the coming day, I will receive the imperial court and ask the ministers, what is his dream like?Di Xiangzuo said: "It is not auspicious for the country to realize this dream. Now the prince Lu Ling is demoted to Fangzhou for thousands of miles. It means that there are sons in the bureau who cannot take the position, so I feel this dream. I hope that the position of Dongguan will be established quickly. The King of Mausoleum is the crown prince, if you stand up and think twice, you will never be able to do it." The majestic empress Wu Zetian was so obsessed with chess that she still played chess with Da Luo Tiannv in her dream, which shows how obsessed she is with chess!

At this time, it was time for Feng Jiuxiao to make a move, and he flew straight to the commander-in-chief of Jiugong, "General"!Yuan Zishan had to move handsome Hong.

Ardasil laughed and said, "Looking at this game of chess, fighting is like a game of life!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "That's right, life is like a game of chess, there are no masterful hands in everything!" This refers to the fact that masters play chess without seeking a divine move or a super-ingenious ultimate move. Murder!
Yuan Zishan gave him a bewitching glance with a pair of Jianshuiqiu eyes, and said coldly: "Be careful if you make a mistake, you will lose everything!" There is no harm in splashing some cold water properly.

Feng Jiuxiao chuckled.

He looked at Ardashir, pointed at the chessboard and said with a smile: "The generals, soldiers, ministers, chariots, horses, and cannons in this chess, the five small pawns, are like monarchs, ministers, and envoys. They are in order. The general is in the middle, and the officials are two. Row, just like the stars holding the moon. If you are dead, you will lose the game, if you are handsome, you will lose the game. Some people dare to give up in order to win a victory, and they will do everything they can. It can be said that one general will succeed!"

Ardasil said: "I know this poem. It was written by Cao Song in your Tang Dynasty. Zeguo Jiangshan enters the battle plan, what is the plan for the living people to enjoy Qiaosu. With Jun Mo's words, you will be a marquis, and you will succeed Dry bones!"

It's really impressive!

Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help praising: "I didn't expect you to know Cao Song!"

Ardasil said quite complacently: "Cao Song still has another song. It is rumored that there will be a lot of sorrow in the first battle, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait will never stop. Who knows that the Cangjiang River will always be fine, and there has been a bloody battle recently!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Unexpectedly, you have a lot of research on the Central Plains culture!"

Aldashir said modestly: "Mr. Deputy Envoy, thank you." He pointed to the chessboard and said, "In fact, through chess, we can see some cultural differences between you Easterners and Westerners."

"Oh?" Yuan Zishan's eyes lit up, "What's the difference?"

Ardasil didn't dare to look directly into her captivating eyes, stared at the chessboard and said: "Just now, the deputy envoy introduced that although the leaders of the two armies on this chessboard are generals and commanders, they actually represent Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. And Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, these two are actually kings, but they were changed to generals because of the taboo of "violating the superior". In the West, there are not so many taboos, and the leader is the king. However, the East emphasizes that men are superior to women, and that they are superior to me, so "there is and only" on the chessboard One king. In the West, equality between men and women is valued, so there is another queen, and the queen is extremely brave and has boundless magic power. This setting is also in line with the power and status of the queen in reality."

Yuan Zishan's eyes flickered: "You mean the queen of the West can sit on an equal footing with the king?"

Ardahill smiled and said: "Of course. They are all monogamous, unlike your Eastern polygamists!"

Yuan Zishan smiled at Feng Jiuxiao abruptly.Laughing so that Feng Jiuxiao was a little creepy.Feng Jiuxiao had no choice but to chuckle: "Women in the West are so happy. By the way, what's the difference with other chess pieces?" Hurry up and change the subject, or she might pinch her again for an inappropriate sentence!
Ardasil said: "For example, prime minister, the chess in your Central Plains is very strange. It seems to follow the tradition that the bigger the official, the more incompetent, the prime minister can only wander around the king, stick to the rules, and don't care about the elephant-eyed prime minister. It becomes a piece of trash. The prime minister of the West is not a literati and Confucian scholar who can only circle around the emperor's heels, but a warrior who has the ability to charge forward. He can even kill to the end like your rook! Every player in Western chess The degree of freedom of the members and the intensity of the whole chess game are greater than that of Central Plains Chess! In a sense, it just reflects the free, unrestrained, and turbulent character of Western nations. Central Plains Chess is more graceful, solemn, and elegant. You must know how to overcome rigidity with softness, Only by keeping close to far, and moving and still can win! In addition, the king in the Central Plains cannot go out of the nine squares, and the king cannot see the king, but in the west, the king can drive himself and gallop freely on the entire chessboard, and the two kings can even face to face duel!"

Feng Jiuxiao also couldn't help sighing: "There is such a big difference between the situation of the emperors of the East and the West? I feel that the emperors of the West live more like our martial arts knights in the Central Plains. They are full of pride and love and hatred!" He suddenly thought of Big Wolf It has been said that their king abdicated even when he was in good health, and the emperor of the Central Plains did not let go even at the age of 80, which shows his greed for power and position.

Ardahill said: "It's amazing when you think about it. Your soldiers and ministers seem to protect the general, but once the soldiers and ministers make mistakes, the most powerful protection may become the biggest obstacle!"

Feng Jiuxiao's heart skipped a beat!
A sage once said a similar sentence: Often the people closest to you are your most dangerous enemies!
The person closest to the emperor is naturally the person who poses the greatest threat to the emperor!
Just now, Wei Qiansui and Wei Qiansui have sent several letters to each other, exchanged news, and basically understood the overall situation.

Everything is under control.

Ardahill said: "Master Deputy Ambassador, I heard that you established an organization called the Mountain League, so who is your main enemy?"

Feng Jiuxiao looked at Ardasil, wondering why he would ask such a question, he pondered for a while, and answered seriously: "If it is helping the poor, punishing rape and eliminating evil, then my enemy is all the wicked people in the world who do evil. !"

Ardahill said: "Okay! Once you have a clear enemy, you can turn the enemy into a pawn and pull it into the chessboard to deal with it!"

Feng Jiuxiao was startled, as if she was touched!He quickly said: "Please continue!"

Ardashir said: "In terms of time and space, the enemy can be divided into parts or parts at will. In this way, the state of only one enemy can be maintained at all times!"

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flickered.

Making enemies on multiple fronts and fighting on two fronts is a big taboo for military strategists.

Ardasil said: "As long as you face an enemy, it's a fair confrontation between the two sides, like a game of chess! Let's put the two sides in their respective seats, and the soldiers will stand in line with each other. The rest is up to your grandson's art of war." Already!"

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "The method of using troops is to encircle them if they are ten, attack them if they are five times, divide them if they are twice as many, fight them if they are few, escape them if they are few, and avoid them if they are not strong!"

Ardasil smiled and said, "On the road!"

In fact, once the confrontation between the two armies is formed, there is no talk of fairness and justice. The so-called soldiers never tire of deceit!At that time, it will be enough to use Tian Ji's method of horse racing, top to center, middle to bottom, bottom to top, two wins in three rounds!But I am strong enough, so I will hit you once with two hits, hit you once with two hits, and hit you once with two hits!crush!

Feng Jiuxiao stood up and clasped her fists to salute Ardasil: "Amazing! You really are a China hand!"

Feng Jiuxiao was reminded by Ardashir just now, and suddenly became enlightened!
In fact, I don't have a clear imaginary enemy now.The imaginary enemy is all the villains in the world, this is just a general talk, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't have countless copies! The sentence "re-dividing enemies according to time and space" is so interesting.

When facing small sects and factions on the underworld, gather together and wipe them out.

You can incite all the similar sects in the surrounding area, and try to unite them, so that they will be a whole in a certain period of time!Cut through the mess with a sharp knife and destroy several factions at the same time.
For big gangs, they must be divided and wiped out.

If we talk about imaginary enemies, the Demon Cult bears the brunt.However, based on the current strength comparison between the two sides, he is in an absolute disadvantage.If you use the method of chess to deduce that the two sides are fighting, you can try to break it into parts and eat it when dealing with the Demon Cult!That is to say, a certain sub-helm is regarded as an enemy first!Set the role of the opponent's master according to the generals' chariots and horses, and either shoot a series of cannons, or go out with chariots and horses, killing him by surprise!Of course, the premise is that the time difference must be mastered!Otherwise, you will be dragged into their chessboard by the Demon Cult and let them dominate you!
Facing the entire Demon Cult, Yingyue Villa is still nothing more than a pawn.So now I can only think about it.

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly said to himself: "If I am a general, who is that scholar?"

If Yingyue Villa is the upper side of this chess game, then the masters of the seventh, eighth and ninth realms are almost equipped like chariots and cannons, and now there is only a lack of strategic think tanks like Shixiang!

Yuan Zishan suddenly looked at him with a smile and said softly, "What do you think of me?"

Feng Jiuxiao was startled.

Then he immediately laughed and said: "With you here, the rest of the people can have nothing!"
