After the music and dance were withdrawn, surrounded by a bronze lampstand, the four children of the emperor gathered in the center of the hall and knelt down on four mats.

Among them, it was the "chess" that Zhao Wuxian sent to Zhang's Mansion two months ago.

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

Wei Ju is an ignorant newcomer, he is stretching his neck at this time, looking at this thing with a questioning face, at first glance, he doesn't think it's interesting.

It was a square hardwood chessboard, similar to the chess and liubo that Wei Ju had seen, but much more complicated.

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

Zhao Wuxian was naturally the most authoritative chess expert of this era, and he pointed to the chessboard and said: "The elephant symbolizes the meaning, that is, the chess game symbolizes the struggle between the two armies. ”

The tradition of the Wei family, the heads of the family in the past dynasties are very martial arts, the ancestor Bi Wan is the tiger ben of the Jin Xiangong, Wei Wuzi is the right of the car of the Jin Wengong, Wei Xianzi is the destruction of the car in the battle of Dayuan, and invented the Wei Shu phalanx. With such a family style, Wei Ju will naturally not be bad, and he boasts that among the four people present, he knows the most about battle formations and military affairs.

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

After Zhang Mengtan set up the chess, he was not in a hurry or slow, he was slightly excited, he grabbed ahead of Wei Ju and asked: "Zhao Zi, this chess piece of the red and black armies, is it not simulating the hegemony of Jin and Chu?" The river boundary in the blank space in the center of the chessboard is not a big river? ”

He moved his finger slightly: "In the middle of the two ends, between the fourth and sixth vertical lines, the square is formed by an oblique crossing line, is it the Chinese army camp where the generals and division commanders are located?" ”

Zhao Wuxian nodded slightly with a smile, and said secretly in his heart, brain supplement ** is really the best, let the people of this era take the initiative to give chess the implicit meaning in this era, which is much better than breaking it blindly.

What's more, in the original history, the game of chess appeared in the Warring States period. Maybe it was a war deduction tool invented by a soldier in his spare time, because chess attached great importance to the "rook", so later generations speculated that this thing "was also a warring state soldier and the like, and it was also a heavy chariot battle at that time".

It is precisely because of this that the names of the chess players in later generations coincide with the military system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as the commander, the handsome, the rook, the horse, the soldier, the soldier, the pawn, etc. Therefore, Zhao Wuxian only needs to modify the cannons that are not available in this era, and then he can take them out to bluff people.

He explained to the three of them: "Chess simulates a battle formation, and the two armies play against each other. As the "Sima Law" said, the way of war, with the stubborn, with the rule of the crowd; Few profits are annoying, and all benefits are positive. Advance and stop with the crowd, advance and retreat with the oligo......"

What this means is that the essentials of commanding an operation are to strive to consolidate the camp when the troops are weak, and to be strict and orderly when the troops are strong. A weak force is conducive to unpredictable and surprising victory, and a strong force is conducive to regular combat. If the army is strong, it must be as steady as a mountain, and if the army is weak, it will be impermanent.

This sentence on Sima Fa coincides with the law of chess. In chess battles, people can manipulate the battle situation from offense and defense, virtual and real, overall and partial, or a dignified decisive battle, or surprise and win.

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

He looked at Zhao Wuxian with burning eyes: "Zhao Zi, how about you and I talk about a game?" ”

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

Although he is young and old, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old after all, and under his steady and leisurely appearance, there is still a competitive heart.

In Zhao Wuxian's view, Zhang Mengtan is afraid that he will have to experience growth before he can gradually eliminate this and completely become a top strategist under Zhao Xiangzi in the future, who is like a god and retires if he succeeds!

The fish entered the urn, and Zhao Wuxian showed a faint smile: "Dare to ask Zhang Zi to hold the red chess first!" ”

……

In a chess match, the chess pieces are arranged in a row, and the red side moves first. The two sides take turns to make a move until they are divided, lose, and draw, and the game is over.

Watching chess without saying a true gentleman, Wei Ju and Le Fuli were silently watching, and Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan came and went, as if they were two generals fighting against each other.

While playing, the two also talked.

"I have heard for a long time that Zhang Zihao reads the "Sima Law" and the ancient soldier book, and he must have some experience in the transfer of troops.

At the beginning of the game, he habitually held the sunspot "shot", that is, the "cannon" on the chessboard of later generations, and moved it a few steps sideways.

Zhang Mengtan is very slow to play chess, and he always has to ponder for a moment before acting, and in the interval of thinking, he said slowly: "Shooters, long-range shooters, Yin Shang has the job of 'shooting more'." The bow and arrow are mainly projectiles, and they can shoot up to 100 steps in the next formation, and the archers on the chessboard made by the gentleman must be Lu Qi, Yang Youji, and Pan Dang. ”

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

Wuxian said: "Exactly, I heard that there is a Sun Wuzi in the southern Wu State, who has completely used foot soldiers as the main force and has broken the battle in five battles. ”

Gradually, the two sides began to contact and fight, the black car rampage, the red horse galloped forward, and there was a vague meaning of Jin Ge, and Wei Ju was dazzled when he saw that he was scratching his ears and cheeks.

The rook is the most powerful attack power among the chess pieces, regardless of horizontal or vertical lines, as long as there is no child to block, the number of steps is not limited, just the same as the use of chariots in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period:

The charioteer is also the wings of the army, so he is trapped in Jianchen, and he wants to strengthen the enemy and cover the north. The importance of chariots, Zhang Mengtan knows without saying.

Looking at Zhao Wuxian's black horse and taking the time to step on one of his red soldiers, he said hesitantly: "Riding a horse alone, this type of army is rare. ”

Zhao Wuxian explained with a smile: "Riders, scouts of the army, the way the horse walks around is always oblique, which is a metaphor for its danger and strangeness. ”

Wei Ju crooked his mouth, Zhao Wuxian's deeds of hunting alone had already spread throughout the aristocratic circle of Xinjiang, but most people scoffed at him, and he was one of them. The Wei soldiers were known for their heavy infantry soldiers, supplemented by chariots, and were somewhat disdainful of the solo cavalry of the Di people.

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

Zhang Mengtan recalled the classic history he had studied, and clapped his hands and said, "I see! Tan also remembered that in the past, Qin Wengong hunted in Yanwei with seven hundred horses alone, and expelled Qunrong from Zongzhou's hometown, which was also this method. ”

"Seven hundred singles?" Zhao Wuxian was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that two hundred years before him, there would be an earlier cavalry!
