Chapter 177: Looking at each other
The departure of the two did not change the atmosphere in the field, and the maid in Tsing Yi immediately passed the word, and the maid in blue immediately left a son.
The chess pieces were moving, Fang Ling didn't seem to even think about it, and moved his own chess pieces seemingly casually.
Seeing Fang Ling playing chess so quickly, the maid in blue couldn't help but glance at the young man in surprise, and then quickly shouted out Fang Ling's chess, and as soon as her voice fell, the maid in green clothes immediately shouted out Miss Mo's chess.
With the sound of the fall, the speed of the two of them playing chess increased significantly, except for the sound of the second daughter's reading of chess, it was the gentle sound of chess, one person played chess, and the other person immediately played chess again, you come and go, there is no stagnation.
The two maids couldn't help but glance at each other, looking at each other, the two of them have followed Mo Xiang for many years, and they know how superb Mo Xiang's chess skills are, even if they are today's national masters, they are not necessarily her opponents.
Five times in five years, the second daughter has also seen a lot of talented people, all of them are suave and knowledgeable, but none of them have entered the third level, and they are always defeated in the second level.
Although the three levels are different every year, this year's endgame battle is undoubtedly the most difficult.
However, the young man in front of him did not fall behind in the face of Miss's rapid chess, and as soon as Miss Changcheng fell, one of his sons immediately followed, without any hesitation, especially the calm expression, there was no nervousness at all, as if everything was under control.
Seven tenths of incense, tenths of eight pillars of incense, tenths of nine pillars of incense, when the incense is extinguished, Fang Ling walks in a chess, the chess game is still a draw, and there are three or four sons left on both sides, which just coincides with the meaning of "Seven Star Gathering".
The second daughter also sighed secretly, and subconsciously gently brushed her chest, as if she had watched a wonderful competition, although it was a chess game, the scene was thrilling, the two competed with each other, and no one fell behind, and this tie means that the son in front of him has successfully passed the second level.
The maid in blue was slightly blessed, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Gongzi Fang for passing the second level, please go to the third floor with the slave." β
Walking up the stairs, Fang Ling smelled a faint rouge fragrance, this fragrance is elegant and fragrant, like the orchid of the deep valley, and on the third floor, you will see a dark purple "color" curtain in the middle of the tower, among the curtains, there seems to be a woman sitting, although you can't see the appearance, but the graceful figure and the faint orchid fragrance in the haze, people can't help but yearn for it, this woman is obviously Miss Mojia.
Miss Mo was behind the curtain, but Fang Ling's gaze did not make more eyes on her, but fell on the table in front of the curtain, and seeing the things on the table clearly, Fang Ling couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
What was displayed on the table turned out to be a sand table, and for Fang Ling, who was familiar with the situation at the border pass, he could tell at a glance that this was the sand table of the border pass between Chu and Cai outside the state!
The so-called sand table refers to the terrain made of mud and sand, which has a history of thousands of years, and is widely used in military affairs. Fastest update on PC:/
Fang Ling was already very concerned about the border war, so he could recognize the location displayed in this sand table at a glance, not to mention, the name of the city was also marked on it.
The sand table in front of you is divided into three parts, one of which is the area of the important towns outside the state of Chu and the state, and the corresponding area of the border towns of the Cai State, as well as the blank buffer zone between the border passes.
On the sand table, in addition to the important towns and cities in the border areas, the terrain of the buffer zone in the middle is marked.
Just when Fang Ling was observing the sand table, Mo Xiang was also looking at the young man outside through the curtain, although he couldn't see the appearance, but according to the little maid secretly, it was a handsome and dignified young man.
In the past five years, there are no less than hundreds of talents who have come to break through, but only this one person can break through to the third level, and watching chess is like watching people, when the game just now, Mo Xiang is like seeing a teenager with his own eyes, and his style of chess is quite a general's demeanor, acting decisively, vigorously and resolutely, faintly revealing an extraordinary spirit.
Mo Xiang secretly admired it, so she lightly opened her lips and said: "Fang Gongzi's chess skills are superb, and the method of playing chess implies the style of a general, and the little woman felt a lot in the game just now." β
Miss Mo's voice is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, revealing a fresh feeling, spotless, and it feels particularly comfortable to listen to in the ears, Fang Ling took his eyes off the sand table, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Mo has won the prize, Miss's chess method is like flowing water, implying mystery, and it is just a matter of winning in danger." β
Mo Xiangying smiled and said, "Fang Gongzi is really too modest, but he doesn't know which master he is from in this chess skill?"
Fang Ling replied: "It's a family heirloom chess method in playing, and it's not a big deal. β
Mo Xiang said: "It turns out that Fang Gongzi's family is a scholarly disciple, and it seems that he is not a native of Bingzhou when he listens to the accent. β
Fang Ling smiled and said, "The next house is a little north of Bingzhou. β
Mo Xiang paused slightly, and asked, "I wonder if Young Master Fang knows anything about the sand table in front of him?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "I have heard a little, isn't Miss Mo going to use this sand table as the third level?"
Mo Xiang bowed his head and said: "Exactly, the battle situation is like a chess game, and it is even better than a chess game, its changes are unpredictable, weird and varied, Fang Gongzi doesn't mind that you and I will fight against each other on this sand table, right?"
"Miss Mo is the one who sets up the pass, I am the one who breaks through the pass, you are the master's family, and my guest is naturally the one who listens to the court. Fang Ling laughed, looking at the girl in the curtain with interest, but she didn't expect that she not only liked the chess game, but also liked the sand table game, which was rare.
Although the chess game implies wisdom, but after all, it is a pair of dead chess, but in this sand table game, the two armies are facing each other, but they are all flesh and blood, there is no chess grid, there is no limit, and people are the sons, which can give full play to the wisdom of human beings, and it is a pair of living chess.
It's also a shame that he broke through to this third level, if it was really other scholars who broke through, it is estimated that he could only sigh with admiration.
I only heard Mo Xiang say: "In the third level of this sand table game, you and I will ask and answer, each will occupy one side, and dispatch troops, whoever can take the lead in obtaining a city on the other side will be considered the winner." β
Fang Ling bowed slightly, and listened to Mo Xiang continue: "On the sand table is a certain section of the border pass between my Chu and Cai, each has an important town, and there are some small cities, among which the important town of Cai is called Qinglong Pass, with a garrison of 50,000 troops, and two small cities on the left and right, namely Bangang City, Ji'an City, Yifeng City and Sandu City, of which 2 cities are 5,000 soldiers and horses, and 2 cities are 10,000 soldiers and horses, corresponding to Tantouguan, an important town in our country, with a garrison of 30,000 troops, and there are Gaobu on the left, Rentang two cities, there is a city of Shunchang on the right, respectively 5,000 soldiers and horses, although the strength is not enough Cai Guo, but the terrain of China's border pass is more dangerous, there are big lakes, hills and thorny woodlands. One side has a strong army, and the other side has a dangerous terrain, I don't know which side Fang Gongzi is willing to choose?"
The contrast between the two sides is obviously very obvious, Cai State 5 cities, the total strength of the army reached 80,000, and Chu State soldiers were only 45,000, even though Chu State has a geographical advantage, but ordinary people think about it, I am afraid they will still choose Cai State.
However, Fang Ling said with a smile: "Even if you are from the Chu State, you will naturally choose the Chu State." β
Seeing that Fang Ling did not choose Cai Guo because Cai Guo was strong, Mo Xiang said: "Fang Gongzi is so courageous, then Fang Gongzi is the general of Tantou Pass, and the little woman is the general of Qinglong Pass, what the woman wants to ask is, if Qinglong Pass is dispatched with 40,000 troops and comes with the momentum of smashing the Yellow Dragon, if Fang Gongzi is the general of Tantou Pass, how to resolve this crisis without asking for help from China?"
Fang Ling thought for a moment, his eyes slid over the sand table, and he replied: "Since it is a direct attack on the Yellow Dragon, then it must be a fast horse and whip, and it will come with lightning speed, so the route must be over the hilly area in the middle." Although there is a huge disparity in the number of troops, as far as I know, the terrain in the hilly areas of the border passes outside the state is complex and changeable, and our side has a geographical advantage, as long as the ambush is set up properly, we can "force" 40,000 soldiers and horses to retreat. β
Mo Xiang saw that Fang Ling solved this problem lightly, and knew that the young man was not only quick-witted, but also had a hand in dealing with the enemy, so he immediately said: "Although Qinglong Pass is retreating, there are still two roads to pass through the big lake and thorn forest, and the soldiers and horses of Qinglong Pass can be held in front of the hills, and they can contain the 30,000 horses and βhorses of Tantou Pass, Bangang and Ji'an cities mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses from the direction of Dahu, and Yifeng and Sandu two cities mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses from the direction of Thorn Land to assist Qinglong Pass to outflank the soldiers and horses of Tantou Pass, what should the son do?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly, this Miss Mo family's method of transferring troops is quite like a general's style, and she adopts the method of heavy troops to suppress the realm, if she is shocked by the momentum of this army, she will be "exposed" as soon as her feet are "chaotic", but how can Fang Ling be good with his generation, when it comes to military combat, he is not inferior to others.
He said calmly: "In the next meeting, the soldiers and horses of Gaobu and Rentang will be mobilized, a total of 10,000 people, lightly armed, and raid the small city of Bangang in Cai Guo, because the two cities of Bangang and Ji'an have mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers and horses in the two cities are only 5,000. Although Miss Mo mobilized a large army to suppress the territory, it caused an emptiness in the city, and once it was attacked, it would be taken immediately!"
Mo Xiang was not flustered, and said calmly: "The little girl will order the march of Bangang and the Second City to withdraw 5,000 soldiers and horses, return to the city for emergency relief, and at the same time order the remaining 10,000 defenders of Qinglong Pass to reinforce at any time. β
Fang Ling listened to it secretly, although Mo Xiang is a woman, but this way of using troops is also good, with 10,000 soldiers and horses in Qinglong Pass, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses in Bangang and two cities, and 5,000 who have returned to the city, you can hold Bangang City.
However, this method of dispatching troops was exactly what Fang Ling meant, and he smiled unhurriedly: "The soldiers and horses mobilized by the three cities of Gaobu to raid the city are in vain, and the real intention is to wait for Miss Mo's return to defense, our army will set up an ambush on the way, and when Miss Mo's 5,000 soldiers and horses arrive, they will be killed! In this way, Miss Mo's troops will lose 50,000, and then quickly march towards the border of our country, killing the remaining 5,000 men and horses in Bangang!"
