The "Xuanyuan Chess Club" in Jiangzhou is very mysterious. It is said to be founded by Du Fuzi, a famous Go player in the Western Han Dynasty, and has been passed down for more than four hundred years. Go prospered in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, but it was silent for a period of time. It was only in the Eastern Han Dynasty created by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu that Go revived.
No matter how the times change, the "Xuanyuan Chess Club" has always been standing in Jiangzhou forever. In this generation, the "Xuanyuan Chess Club" passed to Du Qizi's hands. Du Qizi was very business-minded to repair the chess club and bought nearly a hundred acres of land to expand the Xuanyuan chess club into a comprehensive place covering elegant rooms, wine rooms, tea rooms, chess rooms and inns. However, the name did not change.
On the side of the main building near the courtyard garden, is the well-known Chunhui Hall in Jiangzhou. This Chunhui Hall is a quiet place for guests to talk about Wenping. There are dozens of green jade cases sparsely arranged in the hall, each with a well-made mahogany chessboard. There is a huge wooden chessboard specially made on the north wall, and there are always two female chess boys standing on both sides.
In ordinary days, after the sages gathered for a drink and vehemently argued, they came to the Chunhui Hall in twos and threes to play the game safely, showing the endless murderous heart in black and white.
In order to attract customers, the chess club organizes a fighting chess competition every year between the first day of June and the third day of June. The champion will be rewarded generously. Every time such a competition, the deacon of Chunhuitang will set up a general commentary.
There are many people who come to participate in the competition every year, and they cheer and applaud every time they encounter a wonderful place. The game of Chunhuitang is the soul of "Xuanyuan Chess Club".
The most conspicuous thing in Chunhui Hall is a thick copper plate standing on a jade frame under the big plate. There are eight characters engraved on the copper plate-"He who rules the world, rewards ten thousand gold!" It is amazing.
Every fighting chess competition will be compared to the Warring States period. At the beginning of the game, the chess boy brought a copper tripod. In the tripod was the round copper plate of the seven great nations and more than thirty middle and small princes engraved with the words "Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, Qi, and Qin." Yizhe stretched out his hand and grabbed a copper plate. The country name on it was his own code name.
All the scholars of the great man understand chess. In the course of chess killing, there are often sighs such as "Zhao Guo is dead" or "Zhao Guo has three cities" applauded in the hall, which is to judge the general situation of both sides.
If both sides have touched the big country, the onlookers will cheer up and shout: "Equally equal, good!"
If one party is a big country and the other party is a small prince, people will shake their heads and sigh for the little prince, and if the little prince wins, people will be doubly excited and shout hello.
Precisely because this kind of game rules are indistinguishable from the general trend of the world, so the kind of national fortune and chess stimulus can not be replaced by other talks or even controversies.
On the official road leading from Baidi City to Jiangzhou, two batches of fast horses galloped in, one red and one white, very beautiful. In order to reach Jiangzhou as soon as possible, Liu Xun deliberately chose the official road on the north bank of the Yangtze River as the westbound route. This road is said to be an official road, but it is actually a bumpy loess road that can only stagger vehicles.
"I don't know what Liu Zhang is doing every day. Even the official roads are repaired like this, regardless of the officials under his hands." Liu Xun was very angry when he saw such official roads. Ordinarily, Yizhou is rich in resources and has a large population. It shouldn't be a problem to repair the official roads, but now it looks like this, which is really disappointing.
"My son, don't worry about so much. The hurry is important. If you don't see Zhuge Liang, then you will fall short." Zhao Yun said next to him.
"Okay, it's important to hurry." Liu Xun once again raised the whip.
When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, Liu Xun and Zhao Yun rushed to Jiangzhou. Under the guidance of passers-by, Liu Xun and others hurried to the "Xuanyuan Chess Club."
Liu Xun asked Zhao Yun to lead his horse to the inn and arrange a place to live, while he rushed to Chunhui Hall to find Mr. Kong Ming.
When he arrived at Chunhui Hall, Liu Xun looked around. There were already thirty people in the hall fighting each other. Liu Xun was dazzled. Liu Xun took out ten five-baht coins and handed them to the deaconess, and said, "Which one wins, answer truthfully, all ten five-baht coins are yours?"
The deaconess took the money and respectfully led Liu Xun to the middle case and said: "This gentleman has killed three little princes in a row. He is unmatched in killing three little princes." The case was already full of people, Liu Xun finally squeezed in. Before Liu Xun had time to watch, the game was over.
The gentleman in white that the deaconess pointed to won again. Liu Xun looked closely and could only roughly see that the gentleman was in his early twenties, he should not be short and his face was handsome.
Suddenly a middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd and said to the man in white, "I am willing to face this gentleman. I wonder if the gentleman is willing to fight?"
The scholar took a glass of wine and drank half a sip, and said to the deaconess: "Please put a big plate."
The deaconess agreed excitedly.
In a short while, the center of Chunhui Hall listed a long, crystal-clear and green chessboard. When the two parties were seated, the beautiful female chess boy brought the bronze tripod and asked them to name them. The middle-aged man stretched his hand into the tripod and found a copper plate "pop!" and hit the case. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Okay! Zhao Guo! Great country!"
The scholar in white took out a copper plate and beat it, but it was defending the country, and the onlookers couldn't help but sigh softly. The middle-aged scholar is humane: "The big country will let you go first, please sir to play the black chess." The implication is that he naturally chose the white chess.
The white-clothed scholar smiled: "It's better to be respectful." He stretched out his hand and beat a sunspot crisply to the upper left three or three. Without retracting his hand, the middle-aged man had already hit a sunspot "pop!" on the lower right. Star position. The white-clothed scholar thought for a moment, and then hit a black one to the bottom left third or third. At this time, there are four chess boys under the big game, two standing on the wooden ladder and two standing on the ground.
Before the chess case, the deaconess announced the move loudly: "Black chess moves up to the left, three to three, white moves down to the right and down to the right, and black moves down to the left again and again!" The chess boy pushed the special pegs with short spikes into the reported position.
As soon as the three-handed chess came out, the onlookers under the broad market buzzed and talked, most of them sighed for "Weiguo", and one person said loudly: "Weiguo's small country offensive is too much!" The scholar was silent.
However, Liu Xun said, "It seems that the defending country is on the offensive, but it is offensive for defense.
The scholar in white took a look at Liu Xun, showing his approval.
With the increasing number of chess pieces, the situation of "Zhao State" is broad, but "GuoGuo" has seized four big corners, and a team of "Guards" in the center is fleeing. Obviously, if the "Guardian" escaped, the "State of Zhao" would be lost. If "Zhao Guo" captures the "Guard", it will undoubtedly destroy the "Gu". There is silence in Chunhui Hall, and all viewers are worried about the "Guardian Defence".
Liu Xun was nervous, sweating on his forehead, rubbing his hands again and again.
At this time, the "guard" saw that the mountains were exhausted, but suddenly turned around and attacked the chasers of the "Zhao State" who were not very clean, and cut off the chasers in one fell swoop. More than ten rounds of fierce battles actually wiped out the "Zhao Army" that had been separated from the base camp. !
"Good!" Liu Xun exclaimed with excitement.
"In Sima Yi, Xia Hanoi, I just saw my husband's superb chess skills. It's better to play a game with us." Another black-robed scholar challenged the white-robed scholar.
"Okay!" The scholar in white still readily agreed, with a blank expression on his face.
"Compared to the ancient Warring States period, it is very boring. Why not replace it with the current princes?" the deaconess suggested.
Everyone was startled at first, and then they all applauded loudly.
The two of them had just settled down, and the maid offered Shu wine to the two of them. The scholar in white and Sima Yi held each other at the same time and drank them all. At this moment, the big board and chessboard were all set up, the deaconess stood three feet in front of the long case, and the scholars of Chunhui Hall gathered around the big board and exclaimed today's adventures.
Standing behind the white-robed scholar at this time, he kept looking at the opposite Sima Yi. , There is a lot of brilliance in the eyes. The chess boy brought the bronze tripod and asked the two to name them. Sima Yi touched out a "Cao Cao", and there was an uproar in the hall, but Sima Yi was startled and smiled faintly. The scholar in white casually touched it, but a "Liu Bei" came out. The onlookers couldn't help sighing.
However, the scholar in white is proud, "People say that Liu Bei is weak, but An Zhi will not become stronger in my hands?"
Sima Yi sighed for a long time, "Sir, don't you know that Cao Cao in my hand is stronger?"
"Strong and weak, there are no rules in ancient times. Strong can become weak, and weak can become strong. The way to change is all man-made. Will Cao Cao's forces shrink and weak?" The white-clothed scholar's eyes gleamed.
Sima Yi seemed to be particularly excited, and said loudly, "Liu Bei is weak, please, sir."
The white-clothed scholar stared at the chessboard, and was not humbly, a black man "pop!" hit the central Tianyuan. The deaconess reported loudly: "Liu Beijun occupies Tianyuan!" The onlookers were in an uproar and gathered around the chessboard.
Sima Yi let out an "ah" in surprise, "How come you sir? It's really puzzling."
The scholar in white is very calm, "The central place, radiating the four poles, looking at the wild, the first point of the general trend, can't understand this?"
Liu Xun secretly admires this man's courage, which is a rare encounter in a century.
"If I occupies the land, doesn't the sir's momentum become empty?" Sima Yi grabbed a white son and hit the lower right corner.
The deaconess reported loudly: "White moves first, three or three from the bottom right!"
Everyone was amazed and nodded.
The white-clothed scholar said calmly: "There is no virtual power, and the ground has no real ground. Take the ground with the power, expand the ground with the momentum, take the ground on the spot, and the ground shrinks." He slapped a sunspot and hit the ground to the right. Star position.
"Black chess, right hand constellation!"
In a short while, nine hands have fallen on the big chessboard. The five black players occupy the top, bottom, left and right five stars, and the four white players occupy the square corners. Sima Yi stared at the chessboard and saw that the sunspots formed a big "ten" that crossed the sky and earth, and said in a straightforward manner: "Mr. is playing chess, he is in a high position and has no foundation, but why did he turn this place into a real place? Did he intentionally lose the game? ?"
The white-clothed scholar couldn't help laughing: "Why is that reasonable? If there is a high position, is it not true? Your "Cao Cao" is optimistic."
Sima Yi stopped talking and began to drive "Cao Cao" to attack the field. However, "Liu Bei" is so arrogant, trying to avoid fighting. After dozens of rounds, "Cao Cao" occupied all the corners, and when he looked closely, they all shrank below the third line.
However, "Liu Bei" has developed a broad and profound trend from the periphery of the fourth line, somehow causing "Cao Cao" to clearly lag behind "Liu Bei" on the ground!
Liu Xun felt a little relieved, and secretly declared himself strange. If you can have such a talented person to assist you, why not worry about the world is not peaceful, the big man is not happy!
The game is still going on...
