Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 255 Big defeat!

Gao He, Yu Guang, and Tang Qi were the first Chinese chess players to be challenged by Liu Yunyan. They were not only superb in chess skills, but also very influential on the chess circuit. Otherwise, Liu Yunyan would not have chosen them as a breakthrough point, let alone cause any problems. Such a big shock.

The beginning of the snowballing process is often carefully selected.

Therefore, after the bet, the Wang family searched for chess masters. Gao He and Tang Qi, who had not yet left Linyi, were naturally the key targets.

Don't look at the fact that the two of them lost to Liu Yunyan and were criticized by everyone, they just thought they were useless. When talking about Go players, there are winners and losers, and the wins and losses are only temporary. It's just that the opponents this time are somewhat special in identity. The timing of the election is more sensitive, so it is endowed with more meaning and is valued by ordinary people.

In the eyes of a family like the Wang family, they would not underestimate the two of them just because of their success or failure, let alone their strength. There was no reason to look far away from the near.

Unfortunately, no matter whether the Wang family invited them or several other people came to visit, they could not persuade Gao He and Tang Qi, so much so that the two of them were unwilling to break the Zhenlong chess game, let alone go to Xingtan to play against Liu Yunyan again.

After a few times, others gave up and felt that they could no longer count on these two.

Unexpectedly, before setting off, these two people showed up. Not only did they show up, but they also walked together with Chen Zhi, who was being talked about by everyone, which aroused everyone's surprise.

But no matter what others thought, Wang Leng rushed forward immediately.

"Mr. Chen, you're here." He greeted Chen Zhi first, but when he spoke, his attention had already fallen on Gao He. After Chen Zhi returned the greeting, Wang Leng immediately asked Gao and Tang hurriedly. Two people.

"Gao Jun, Tang Jun, are you two here to see me off?"

Wang Leng didn't dare to ask rashly, so he probed tactfully.

Gao He smiled and said: "Brother Wang, there is no need to test like this. The two of us are not here to see him off. We have accepted Brother Chen's invitation to go to Xingtan with him to have a showdown with Liu Yunyan!"

Tang Qi also nodded.

When he said this, others were shocked.

The two of them had stayed behind closed doors a few days ago, looking like they were bitter and resentful. How could they change their demeanor and conversation in just a few days in the blink of an eye?
After thinking about it, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Chen Zhi again.

There is no doubt that Gao He and Tang Qi were able to change their minds because of him.

"Isn't Chen Zhi eating and sleeping? How come he was able to persuade Gao He and Tang Qi all of a sudden?"

Sun Gan and the others were in doubt. He had already made an agreement with several people that when Chen Zhi came over, he would give Chen Zhi a big blow first, so that he could be sure to take the lead, but looking at Gao He, who was standing with Chen Zhi, Tang Qi, this idea is difficult to implement.

However, he restrained himself here, and someone spoke up again over there——

"Two good nephews, were you persuaded by Chen Zhi to come here this time?"

Cao Kuang walked over, looked at Gao He and the two of them and said that at his age, he had a lot less scruples and spoke without any concealment.

Gao He bowed in salute, nodded and said, "It was Brother Chen's words that made me understand a lot of things. After thinking about the matter, I changed my mind."

"Oh?" Cao Kuang was a little surprised. He turned to look at Chen Zhi, looked him up and down, and said, "I thought you were a fame-seeker, but since you can convince Gao He and the others, you must have two tricks. I took it for granted before, but I’m here to help you.”

Chen Zhi was quite surprised. He and Cao Kuang had never met before, and he had heard the other person's name from other people. The other party apologized suddenly, which was quite abrupt, but after thinking about it, he understood.

"My current reputation cannot be said to be high, and I can't stop others from thinking about it. So if I don't break the situation, it will certainly cause dissatisfaction from others. This is probably the case with Cao Kuang, but he is quite upright, even if it is just behind his back. I have criticized them, but now that I have met Gao He and Tang Qi, I just apologized directly. Such a temperament and mind are still worthy of respect."

When Chen Zhi finished speaking, Tang Qi said again: "Listening to what Mr. Cao said, I think you have misunderstood. Brother Chen is an excellent chess player. I have played chess with Brother Gao and Brother Chen several times in the past two days. He won one victory, so they all admired his chess skills."

"You two played chess with Chen Zhi and you didn't win? How many games did you play?"

Gao He said: "Each of them will not play five rounds."

When Cao Kuang heard this, his expression changed, and he looked at Chen Zhi again, his eyes changing again.

Not only him, but others also looked sideways.

Chen Zhi understood that this was Tang Qi and the others intentionally helping him ease the relationship. Although he had played chess with the two of them these few days, the opponent had indeed failed to win, but it was mainly due to the unfamiliar relationship between Chen Zhiqi and after a few days of dreaming In the middle of the raid, with the help of the difference in time flow rate, he increased his experience quite quickly.

Chen Zhi's chess skills are not bad to begin with. He has not practiced them seriously in his previous life, but he still has a foundation. When he was in Pengcheng, he played against Zuna and practiced for a long time.

Zuna is known as Mr. Wangyou, and he is so famous in the chess world that even the Wang family specially sent someone to invite him, because he is not allowed to leave without permission due to his duties as a Zhongzheng official.

Not to mention, as Chen Zhi traveled north, he often studied the many chess records that Zuna had painstakingly summarized in his dreams. His chess skills increased beyond imagination. With three generations of experience, photographic memory, and many thinking habits, once all He devoted himself wholeheartedly, and his improvement was astonishing. Even when Gao He and Tang Qi played against him, they couldn't get the slightest advantage. Instead, they gave Chen Zhi more practical experience.But some people still didn't believe what they said. Sun Can couldn't help but said: "In this case, it can be seen that Mr. Chen's chess skills are indeed the best among others. It just so happened that Gao Jun and Tang Jun were also here, so why not try to break it?" As soon as we break the game Zhenlong, we'll show it off in the car."

As he spoke, the others nodded one after another.

Tang Qi asked curiously: "I heard that you all gathered together and studied enlightenment every day. I wonder if you have ever broken the situation?"

As soon as he asked, everyone's expressions became awkward.

As soon as Chen Zhi and the others saw this, they knew that there was no need to delve into this matter.

But as a result, Gao He and Tang Qi also became interested. They didn't know why this chess game was so difficult. After taking a closer look, they were now on the road to Xingtan. In addition, they had already lost, so they didn't need to worry about anything else, so they discussed it. After a while, I said to go and have a look.

Chen Zhi didn't insist on not watching this time. He didn't try to break the situation before. It was more of an attitude. It was a link in breaking Liu Yunyan's battle situation. Now that he was setting off, he didn't take it seriously, so there was no need to deliberately not watch.

So, under the spotlight of everyone, the three of them saw the game Zhenlong on the largest carriage. But unlike Gao He and Tang Qi, Chen Zhi just glanced at it and did not try to crack it. He knew very well that cracking the game It takes a lot of effort, and you should recharge your batteries before playing chess, rather than doing the opposite.Moreover, whether one can break Zhenlong's chess game has nothing to do with whether one can defeat Liu Yunyan.

Gao He and Tang Qi were eager to try. They had already been defeated, so of course there was no psychological burden.

When others saw this scene, they all had their own thoughts.

Under such circumstances, the convoy set off, aiming directly at Xingtan.

Xingtan is located in Lu County, within the territory of the Lu State. This Lu State is not a foreign country, but a county of the New Han Dynasty. During the Xuanwu restructuring, it was moved from Yanzhou to Qingzhou, and was separated from Linyi Langya County by Taishan County.

The State of Lu was named after the country because it was the fiefdom of a prince - King Lu.

The origin of the King of Lu is different from that of the current kings. The first King of Lu, Liu Yong, was the second son of Emperor Renzong Liu Chan. His posthumous title was Jian, and he was King Lu Jian; the second King of Lu, Liu Chen, was posthumously named Zhuang, and he was King of Lu Zhuang; the third king of Lu, Liu Xuan , posthumous name Kang, is King Lu Kang.

The contemporary King of Lu is the fourth King of Lu, Liu Yi, who is now over fifty years old.

This king of Lu is relatively stable among the kings, because when the first king of Lu was granted the title, Qing and Yanzhou were not under the control of the new Han Dynasty, but were sealed off from a distance. Just officially moved here.

However, as the oldest prince, the relationship between Lu Wang Liu Yi and Emperor Xuanwu was not close. For more than 30 years, he admired Huang Lao Wuwei, and his reputation was not prominent in the entire New Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Xingtan forums, few people would still remember it. There is such a prince.

But now that all parties are gathering, even if King Lu wants to keep a low profile, he can't keep a low profile. Many senior elders and celebrities with status come to visit the palace.

At this moment, the Mingfa monk who arrived after a long journey, after meeting Kong Lu, the teacher of Cao Qing and others, waited for several days and finally learned that King Lu was free and could see everyone.

Immediately, Mingfa Monk, Wei Ou and others were ready to meet the elder among the princes.

After waiting for a few days, it was not that King Lu was showing off, but mainly because he was older, and there were too many people coming to Lu County recently. Many of them were much higher than Ming Dharma monk in terms of seniority. In terms of seniority, they only I was able to lean back, but fortunately I had Kong Lu, so I didn’t have to wait long.

On this day, when they met King Lu, they sat with many people in the lobby of the palace. First they met Liu Mo, the eldest son of King Lu.

The prince was about thirty years old, tall and handsome, without any royal airs, and he entertained people warmly, so that everyone would not be too anxious to wait.

"Please forgive me. After all, my father is old and will come out late."

Listening to the prince's explanation, all the Mingfa monks expressed their understanding. Then they started chatting with him and found out that Liu Mo was very knowledgeable and quoted scriptures when he spoke, just like a famous scholar. They all immediately liked him.

As he talked, Liu Mo brought up the latest news: "Have you ever heard of Liu Yunyan, the little prince of the Huns? He also arrived recently and challenged the famous chess players one after another without losing. He is really amazing."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, because everyone present felt that this matter was a shame.

Liu Mo looked at it, laughed, and said: "Everyone, why are you looking like this? What can this little chess player do if he lets the Huns show off their power? Come on, please drink!"

His words were natural and grand, because he was hereditary and had the power, so he did not value chess skills. However, many people present had the idea of ​​using chess to make a name for themselves, and they were concerned about gains and losses, so they could not be free and easy.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Mo picked up his wine glass and was about to say something else. Suddenly a white-faced boy came from the side and said something in his ear. This made the calm prince's expression change drastically, and the wine glass in his hand fell directly to the ground. on the table.

"What? The Northern Army was defeated?"
