Spring and Autumn I Am King

After the music and dance were withdrawn, surrounded by the copper lamp stand, the four disciples of the senior officials gathered in the center of the hall, kneeling and sitting on four mats.

Among them, there was the same "chess" pair that Zhao Wuxi sent to Zhang residence two months ago.

After Le Fuli returned, Zhang Mengtan had followed the instructions on Zhao Wuxi's letter and had fought several times. He was no stranger to this, but he was not familiar with it either.

Wei Ju is an ignorant newcomer. At this moment, he is craned his neck and looks at this thing with a questioning face. At first glance, he does not find it interesting.

This is a square hardwood chessboard, similar to the chess game and Liubo that Wei Ju has seen before, but it is much more complicated.

I saw that the chessboard was divided by dark ink lines, nine vertical lines and ten horizontal lines intersected, and the pieces were placed at the intersection.

Zhao Wuxi was naturally the most authoritative chess expert in this era. He pointed to the chessboard and said eloquently: "The elephant is a symbol, that is, the chess game symbolizes the competition between the two armies."

According to the tradition of the Wei clan, the patriarchs of all dynasties have been very knowledgeable in military affairs. The first ancestor, Bi Wan, was the tiger Ben of Duke Xian of Jin, and Wei Wuzi was the right of the chariot of Duke Wen of Jin. With such a family style, Wei Ju is naturally not bad. He prides himself on being the one who understands battle formations and military best among the four present.

He was about to laugh at this simple game, how he could interpret the unpredictable battlefield situation, but Zhang Mengtan took the lead.

After Zhang Mengtan played the chess, he was no longer in a hurry and was slightly excited. He grabbed before Wei Ju and asked, "Zhao Zi, this red and black chess piece is imitating Jin and Chu. Fighting for hegemony? Could it be that the river boundary in the blank area in the center of the chessboard is a big river?"

He moved his fingers slightly: "In the middle of the two ends, between the fourth and sixth vertical lines, a square is formed by diagonally intersecting lines. Is it the central army camp where the generals and division commanders are located?"

Zhao Wuxi nodded slightly with a smile, thinking in his heart, brain-boosting Dafa is really the best. It is much better for people in this era to take the initiative to give chess the hidden meaning of this era, rather than just fooling around.

Besides, in the original history, the game of chess appeared during the Warring States Period. Maybe it was a war deduction tool invented by some strategist in his spare time. Because chess attaches great importance to the "rook", later generations speculated that this thing "is also a war-fighting country's military and its like, because it was a heavy chariot at that time." .

It is precisely because of this that the names of the chess pieces in later generations coincided with the military systems of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as generals, commanders, chariots, horses, soldiers, soldiers, and pawns. Therefore, Zhao Wuxi only needs to modify the cannons that are not available in this era, and then he can use it to fool people.

He explained to the three: "Chess simulates a battle formation, and the two armies play against each other. As the "Sima Law" says, in the way of battle, use the few to solidify, and use the crowd to rule; , advance and retreat with the few..."

The meaning of this sentence is that the essentials of commanding operations, the weak and small troops should strive for the consolidation of the camp, and the strong troops should strive to be neat and tidy. A weak force is conducive to unpredictable and unexpected victory, and a strong force is conducive to regular combat. A strong force must be as steady as a mountain, and a weak force must be erratic.

This sentence on Sima Fa is exactly in line with the method of chess. In the game of chess, people can manipulate the situation from attack and defense, virtual and real, whole and part, or make a decisive battle, or win by surprise.

Therefore, for Zhang Mengtan, a strategist who is eager to strategize and command his soldiers like an arm, Zhao Wuxi's gift of chess can be said to be in his favor. For the past two months, it has become a gift that he cannot put down.

He looked at Zhao Wuxi with piercing eyes: "Zhao Zi, how about you and I have a hand in hand?"

Le Fuli's skills are too bad, what Zhang Mengtan urgently needs now is an opponent!

Although he is young and mature, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old after all. Beneath his stable and leisurely appearance, he still hides a competitive heart.

From Zhao Wuxi's point of view, Zhang Mengtan may have to experience growth before he can gradually eliminate this and completely become a top-level advisor under Zhao Xiangzi's command in the future, who will retire if he succeeds!

When the fish entered the urn, Zhao Wuxi showed a faint smile: "Dare to ask Zhang Zi to hold the red chess first!"

……

In a chess battle, the pieces are arranged in formation, and the red team goes first. It also pays attention to not drumming up and not forming a line. The two sides take turns to take a move, and the game is not over until the winner, the loser, and the draw are divided.

Guan Qi did not speak a real gentleman, Wei Ju and Le Fuli watched silently by the side, Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtan came and went, as if they were two generals fighting against each other.

While playing the game, the two were also talking.

"I've heard for a long time that Zhang Zihao has read the "Sima Law" and the ancient book of war, and he must have some experience in dispatching troops. From your point of view, are the various arms in this chess reasonable?"

Wu Xie habitually held the black "shoot" at the beginning of the game, which is the "cannon" on the chessboard of later generations, and moved it a few steps horizontally.

Zhang Meng talked about playing chess very slowly, and he always had to ponder for a moment before taking action. In the interval of thinking, he slowly said: "The archer, the person who shoots from a long distance, has the job of 'multi-shooting' in the Yin and Shang dynasties. Shooting is the main thing, shooting at intervals, up to a hundred steps, the archers on the chessboard made by the gentleman must be the generation of Lu Qi, Yang Youji, and Pan Dang.”

He thought for a while, put his hand on the red "soldier", and moved forward: "The soldier, the soldier, you and me each have five soldiers, or is it a metaphor for Wei Xianzi's five formations? In Jin, the infantry is the backbone of an army, just like a chessboard."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Exactly, I heard that there was a grandson of Wu in the southern state of Wu, who had completely relied on infantry as the main force, and defeated Ying in five battles."

Gradually, the two sides began to contact and fight, the black cars rammed, the red horses dashed forward, and there was a vague meaning of gold, and Wei Ju was dazzled when he saw Le Fuli scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks~www.wuxiahere.com~.

The rook is the most powerful attack force among the chess pieces. It can walk on both horizontal and vertical lines. As long as there is no piece to block, the number of steps is not limited.

The chariots are the wings of the army, so they are trapped in the army, and they must be strong enough to cover the north. Zhang Mengtan knew the importance of the chariot without saying it.

Looking at Zhao Wuxi's dark horse taking time to step off one of his red soldiers, he said hesitantly, "It's rare to ride a horse alone in this army."

Zhao Wuxi explained with a smile: "The rider, the scout of the army, the way the horse moves is to slant all the time, implying that it is taking risks and walking oddly."

Wei Ju's mouth was crooked, Zhao Wuxi's story of hunting alone had already spread throughout the aristocratic circle of Xinjiang, but most people sneered, and he was one of them. Wei's soldiers were famous for their heavy armored infantry, supplemented by chariots, and somewhat disdain for the single cavalry similar to the Di people.

If Zhao Wuxi's light knights were to fight against his family's infantry phalanx, Wei Ju felt that his side would surely win!

Zhang Mengtan recalled the classics and history he had learned, and slapped his palms: "So it is! Tan also remembered that in the past, Duke Wen of Qin used to ride seven hundred alone to hunt at the meeting of Yanwei and Wei, and expelled Qun Rong from Zongzhou's hometown. Law."

"Seven hundred single cavalry?" Zhao Wuxi was slightly surprised, but he did not expect that two hundred years before him, an earlier cavalry appeared!
