Chapter Fifty-Nine: The generals are facing each other, and the game is dead
Chinese chess is a game that has been handed down since ancient times, with a long history, dating back to the pre-Qin era. The chess board pieces used in modern times were finalized during the Southern Song Dynasty. Because of the existence of "cannon" chess, it is required that modern chess must be a product of the invention of artillery.
As to who invented Xiangqi and who finally determined the basic form of modern Chinese chess, there are various theories circulating in history, and there has never been a conclusion. But whoever he left behind, the chess he left behind has had a profound impact in China.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, chess became a "household name" and became a very popular chess activity. Literary scholars such as Li Qingzhao and Liu Kezhuang, as well as politicians such as Hong Zun and Wen Tianxiang, were fond of playing chess. It can be said that chess has become a necessary activity for leisure and self-cultivation.
Xiangqi is famous, and even its peripheral products are extremely popular. The most prominent are the chess books written by many chess masters, among which there is a chess book "Dream into the Divine Machine", the name of which is also widely circulated in modern times for some special reason.
The game recorded in the game is naturally the game mode of chess, and since this is a game of chess, there must be a lot of rules and routines.
It's hard to play good chess, but it's easy to learn to play chess, because as long as you know the position of the pieces and the rules of the seven types of chess, you can be considered a beginner.
The rules of chess can be summed up in a colloquial song, "The horse walks the Japanese character, like the flying field, the car takes the straight road, the cannon climbs the mountain, the soldier takes the inclined road to protect the general, and the pawn does not return when he goes."
The chess game battlefield in front of me now, although there is no chessboard route. However, these rules of traditional chess are still followed. To put it simply, normal chess can be played at will, but if you want to capture the enemy's pieces, you must follow this rule.
I applied this way of applying the traditional rules of chess to the battlefield of chess games and making it the "nirvana" of the chess pieces.
When an enemy piece is diagonally diagonal to 22.5 degrees, the player can use the special move of "Walking the Japanese Character" to capture it.
On the other hand, if you want to avoid being captured by the opponent, you must make sure that your pieces do not appear in the enemy's special move route.
The reason why Yuan Laodao and Team Xu were afraid in the previous battle was that on the one hand, they did not work together, and on the other hand, everyone wanted to live to the end and refused to put themselves in danger. They were willing to let me command the battle. It's also because I made a promise to keep them all alive.
So. All I have to do is to do everything I can to get them all to avoid the nirvana of Mr. Li's chess pieces.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to do, and what about war. There is no immortal.
But it just so happened. Mr. Li, a general who is the commander of the enemy. He also has a lot of worries about playing chess at the moment, and he just wants to capture some people alive to ask about the whereabouts of me and the fat man, so he didn't use all his strength.
And so it goes. I had the opportunity to steer the whole battle.
All the chess pieces that can cross the river are sent out, rushing to the other side of the river to occupy the battlefield on the opposite side, and the chess pieces on both sides are mixed together, no matter which side of the chess pieces want to use the special move, there will always be their own chess pieces blocking the route.
If you can't use the nirvana, the chess pieces will not be killed, and the first condition that promised Yuan Lao Dao their affairs is met, then the second condition should be "winning the chess".
In traditional chess games, there is such a word as "general", which is translated into the chess battlefield, which means that the "general" or "handsome" chess is controlled on the nirvana route of one's own chess pieces.
But now all the chess pieces on my side that can cross the river are mixed with the enemy's chess pieces, once you try to go to the "general", whether you can hold it or not, the current balance will be 100% broken, and then there will be a situation where the chess pieces die. Therefore, all the pieces that can cross the river cannot move.
The chess pieces that cross the river cannot move, and the "soldiers" and "elephants" who cannot cross the river cannot form a "general" situation, so if you want this game of chess to have a result, you must use unconventional means.
"Will" vs. "Handsome"!
There is an important rule in chess, that is, the "general" and "handsome" of the two sides cannot meet directly, once they meet, they can get rid of the "general" can not go out of the nine-square area of their own side, directly across the entire map, the two heroes compete, with the "general" to kill the "handsome".
Neither I nor Mr. Li would have let this happen if I had played chess alone, but now, I have tried my best to create this situation, because only in this case can I have a dialogue with Mr. Li.
Guiding all my chess pieces to scatter to the sides, and then withdrawing the chess and chess from my side, I racked my brains to finally create an opportunity to be able to calmly face the "handsome" chess of the opposite side.
I believe that the chess game has changed to such a point, and Mr. Li must have sensed my purpose, and I can also see from the process of several chess moves that he is consciously cooperating with me.
But in the end, I don't know why, he obviously had the opportunity to take the lead, but he didn't make any moves.
Could it be that I even guessed who was in charge of the game on Black's side?
That's not right, if he guessed that it was me, he should have rushed over to save me, why didn't he do anything at all?
He has a chance to win but doesn't, what is he worried about?
I didn't understand what Mr. Li meant, I didn't dare to act rashly, and Mr. Li never made any decisions, just like that, time passed minute by minute, and it lasted until the next chess game reset.
The chess game was reset, the water filled the dungeon, and Yuan Laodao and others returned, full of praise for my command.
But I was in no mood to pay attention to their compliments, because the result was not what I expected.
An hour passed quickly, and when the game reopened, the others confidently stepped onto the battlefield again, but I was a little dazed and at a loss.
There is only one way I can think of to solve the problem, and it has failed just now, does it make sense to try again?
At this moment when I was entangled in my heart, the chess game in front of me suddenly changed, and the people on Mr. Li's side took the initiative to attack and did the same thing as what I did in the previous game.
This time, all the pieces were scuffled on my side, and a stalemate was formed again.
And without waiting for me to guide, Mr. Li on the opposite side took the initiative to open the door and exposed the "handsome" chess in front of me, and the first move fell on me.
It was me who was bent on losing just now, but now I have become Mr. Li, is he going to let me go to the "general"?
Looking at the opposite "handsome" chess on the line of my "general" chess nirvana, I was ruthless, waved my big hand, and rushed out with my soldiers. (To be continued.) )
