Chapter 872: Playing Chess
When Pang Tong sorted out his harvest into details, and then came to Zhuge Liang very arrogantly, he said arrogantly: "Kong Ming, look! Isn't this a ship, a food, and a soldier? Such a simple thing. ”
Zhuge Liang was burying his head in dealing with various things, and when he saw Pang Tong so arrogant, he shook his head in his heart, and then said: "Shiyuan, I know that you are powerful." I will definitely report your merits to Your Majesty, so you should go and get busy first. There is something else to do, and I don't have time to take care of you. ”
Pang Tong's display made Zhuge Liang look down on him, the Pang family was a very large force in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou had already surrendered to Liu Yu, with Pang Tong being quite used in Liu Yu, the Pang family was also rising in Jingzhou. Each family in Jingzhou has a fleet, this is a well-known thing, if they don't take the initiative to take it, their brains will definitely be broken. Zhuge Liang sent Pang Tong out to do this, and he had already calculated this. So Pang Tong was able to have such results, Zhuge Liang was not so surprised.
"Well, I know you're busy. I'll do the thing about the chain boat. Pang Tong is a little helpless, in fact, Zhuge Liang's ability, Pang Tong admires, but Pang Tong feels that he and Zhuge Liang have their own merits, Zhuge Liang always presses himself, which makes Pang Tong a little angry.
This little contradiction will not affect the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, they have also despised each other for so many years.
Pang Tong, who was just about to leave, suddenly found that Zhuge Liang had a very delicate jade pendant on his waist, which was not ordinary. And the jade pendant has the word "jade" written on it. Pang Tong's eyes were red, how could he not know that this jade pendant was a personal decoration that Liu Yu had been carrying, he had seen it on Liu Yu before, but he didn't expect that this thing was actually given to Zhuge Liang by Liu Yu!
"Damn, if you continue like this, you won't be able to catch up with Kong Ming in the future. It's time to find a way and make a great contribution! Pang Tong left in front of Zhuge Liang without looking back, and Zhuge Liang had been working hard all the time and was not affected.
Pang Tong arrived at the port of Ulin, where a large number of soldiers and warships were now assembled.
Dian Wei was constantly shouting: "Hurry up, haven't you eaten?" One is found to be lazy. You're good-looking! ”
Lu Bu and Guan Yu were assigned tasks by Zhuge Liang, and of course Dian Wei, the general, was not idle, and was pulled over by Pang Tong to help. Dian Wei has a good relationship with Pang Tong and is willing to help, and he is now standing on a ship constantly thinking about how to fight on a rocking ship. Dian Wei was a northerner, and he was not very good at water, let alone fighting on a ship, so that he practiced hard every moment. The battle on the battlefield is not a good family, if one is not good, he will die, and Dian Weike still wants to live for a few more years. But it doesn't mean that Dian Wei is afraid of death, he must overcome his weaknesses to have this scene.
This scene looks hilarious. But all the busy soldiers didn't find it funny, but admired Dian Wei's attitude of constant practice. The supervisor is not idle at the same time, this is the style of a general.
"How's the progress?" Pang Tong came to the side of the ship where Dian Wei was practicing and asked.
As soon as Dian Wei saw Pang Tong coming, he borrowed strength from the ship, and killed Pang Tong in front of him with a flying jump, almost scaring Pang Tong.
"Shi Yuan, where did you kid go? Now a lot of materials are ready. But seriously, you kid can get so many boats. Dian Wei grinned on Pang Tong's shoulders.
Pang Tong's small body was accustomed to Dian Wei's rudeness, and he couldn't stand Dian Wei a few times as before.
But it still hurts, Pang Tong said angrily: "Evil, how many times have I said it." Can you not pat me on the shoulder so vigorously every time, and I'll just say it if you want to. ”
"Be sure to pay attention next time!" Dian Wei touched his head and smirked.
Pang Tong felt that if Dian Wei could change it, it would not be Dian Wei, so he touched his aching shoulder, and finally said, "The surprise is still to come." The materials are ready. Let me show you the means below. ”
Dian Wei was very curious about what Pang Tong was going to do next, a person with high intelligence was not something that a rough person like Dian Wei could figure out, so he immediately began to tell the soldiers to do what Pang Tong had ordered.
Pang Tong installed a structure that could be connected on both sides of several warships, and the two warships were connected by iron chains, and then thick wooden planks were laid between the two warships.
Dian Wei was stunned, he stepped onto the warship, and did not feel any shaking, just like flat ground.
"It's as simple as a few clicks, and it's like flat ground." Dian Wei was surprised, then looked at Pang Tong, and said with a smirk: "I didn't expect you guy to be able to figure out such a simple thing." ”
"Simple? Then why couldn't you think of it before? Pang Tong directly gave Dian Wei a big wink.
Dian Wei looked around, and finally said, "This is stable, but how to start?" If you use an oar, you won't be able to row. You may not even be able to get out of the port, you kid still made a mistake. ”
Pang Tongyi patted his forehead, Dian Wei's brain was too simple, he had been mixed with himself for so long, why didn't he grow a little.
Pang Tong hated the iron and said with a grudge: "Your brain is all mush." Isn't it possible to sail the boat to the river and connect again? ”
"What a waste of time. If it's not connected, the enemy will come to fight. We're at a loss. Dian Wei said unrelentingly.
"Can't you connect some of them first, then leave the port, and then connect them all?" Pang Tong was about to roar, and it was really hard to talk to Dian Wei, a man with a single brain.
"Oh, that's right, too. Why can't I think of it? Dian Wei suddenly realized.
Pang Tong didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Dian Wei, it was really tiring to talk to this old man with a low IQ.
"Shi Yuan, you can find a place to rest first. Let me do it. Dian Wei contracted the work of the supervisor in a big way.
Pang Tong has changed his opinion of Dian Wei this time, although he is a little stupid, he has a lot of strength and can do some coolies.
With Dian Wei in charge of supervising the work of the soldiers, Pang Tong was also happy to be idle. I found a place with two pieces, picked up a pot of wine, and Pang Tong drank it deliciously.
"Kong Ming, that guy should do things well. Or I'm smart, take your time here and enjoy it. Pang Tongle thought happily.
And Liu Yu in the palace was playing against Chen Gong, and Fu Zhu and Tian Feng were watching the two of them beside him. Li Gui, Liu Yu's dog, was nodding and waiting beside Liu Yu.
What was popular in this era was Go. Go encompasses all aspects of heaven and earth. As a ruler, you must be able to play Go, and you must be proficient. Liu Yu is good at Go, but not to the point where he is very powerful. To tell the truth, Liu Yu's hand of Go was learned when he pretended to be dumb in Luoyang Palace. After leaving the palace, Liu Yu had a lot of affairs, and he didn't have time to continue learning the way of Go. After becoming the emperor, there were more state affairs, and Liu Yu's time to play Go was shorter.
Now that Jiangdong's affairs are handed over to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to do, Liu Yu has more time. When he was idle, Liu Yu asked Chen Gong and the other three old foxes to come over and play Go together.
Chen Gong, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng's biggest task now is not to give advice, but to take a good look at Liu Yu, who is already dishonest, lest Liu Yu'an can't bear that unrestrained heart and secretly runs out again.
Liu Yu's Go is not as good as Chen Gong's, and almost many games have been won by Chen Gong. Liu Yu was very indifferent, and he would not be unhappy because Chen Gong won him. Chen Gong didn't give Liu Yu any face at all, and he was not polite at all when it was time to do it. This is much better than the Emperor Qianlong boasted by the later generations, the courtiers can't win him, even if they lose, they can't lose too obviously, and they have to think about how to lose beautifully and wonderfully. Liu Yu doesn't do this kind of bastard thing of putting gold on his face.
"Gongtai, in the way of Go, your skills are superior." Liu Yu said with emotion.
Chen Gong said with a smile: "Your Majesty's chess skills have improved so fast, and the ministers are beyond their reach. In time, the minister may not be able to win against His Majesty. ”
Li Gui was very angry when he saw Chen Gong so arrogant. In Li Gui's eyes, Chen Gong is arrogant.
"Okay, you're Chen Gong. Don't give your majesty any face. Do you have such a courtier? Li Gui completely stood on Liu Yu's face and thought about this, a typical dog slave look.
It can be seen that there are a lot of dog minions around the Emperor Qianlong in later generations.
The dog slave Li Gui flattered Liu Yu and said, "Your Majesty's chess skills are much higher than those of the ministers. The minister just doesn't have this level. Can't get on the table. ”
As soon as Li Gui said this, the people around him laughed. Frustrated and Tian Feng both secretly scolded Li Gui for being a villain, and he had to flatter His Majesty every time, if it weren't for His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, this Li Gui would be a big scourge, which was very unfavorable to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yu said: "Zhong Yun." This way of Go includes all things in heaven and earth. I am also a human being, and there are always some shortcomings. In the future, I will say less about these words and do more practical things. ”
"Obey the order!" Li Gui responded with a smile, if it is impossible to let Li Gui not pat Liu Yu's ass, Li Gui has been this routine for so many years, and you can't change it if you want him to change it. It can be said that Li Gui doesn't make a fool of himself when he is next to Liu Yu, he must be sick. Real dogs can't change their eating.
Liu Yu put away all the pieces on the chessboard, and then restarted.
Chen Gong naturally would not refuse, and also waited for Liu Yu to start. Liu Yu was holding a sunspot, which belonged to the first party, and Chen Gong waited indifferently for Liu Yu to make a move.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yu put a sunspot in a very prominent position.
Chen Gong looked at it and asked, "Your Majesty is very worried about the affairs of Jiangdong?" ”
"The public platform is powerful, and I know my mind from a simple chess piece. That's right, I'm very worried about this expedition to Jiangdong. Liu Yu said.
Fu Zhu said: "Your Majesty should not worry. Kong Ming and Shi Yuan were highly intelligent people. Coupled with the elite Wang Shi, he has an advantage, so why not be afraid of Jiangdong Sun Ce'er. ”
Chen Gong placed a white son on Liu Yu's side and said: "Gonghe is right, although Jiangdong Sun Ce is brave and martial arts, Zhou Yu is also a person with superb intelligence, but it is not impossible to calculate. ”
Liu Yu grabbed a sunspot, pondered for a while, then put it down, and said, "My enemy is not only Jiangdong. Cao Cao, that guy is watching me from outside the chessboard? ”
Cao Mengde had the heart to intervene. But have you forgotten, Your Majesty? In Runan, there is a person with very good chess skills waiting for him? Tian Feng reminded.
"Zhong Da is a good strategist, but his opponent is the treacherous and cunning Cao Cao, I'm afraid Zhong Da will lose above the young." Liu Yu knew who Tian Feng was talking about, it was nothing more than Sima Yi, but Liu Yu was worried that Sima Yi was not strong enough for Cao Cao in terms of experience.
Chen Gong laid a white son on Liu Yu's big rear and said, "Your Majesty, there is another person you have forgotten. This person is now behind Cao Cao, he is not a simple person, Your Majesty must not forget that old guy. ”
"And one more?" Liu Yu couldn't remember it a little.
"What the public station said is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe?" He said with a smile.
"Exactly!" Chen Gong smiled and said, "Mr. Wenhe is no worse than us." I even think that if it is in the planning, the only person who can be compared with Mr. Wenhe is Mr. Gonghe. ”
Fu Zhi understood what Chen Gong meant, among so many wise men of his generation, Jia Xu's was the most vicious and mysterious. But Jia Xu's character is that if you don't let him do it, he will stay honestly and will never step into the thunder pool for half a step. And this old fox is still very afraid of death, or he doesn't do it, once he does it, he will do everything possible to win the victory and save his life.
Liu Yu suffered Jia Xu's secret loss back then.
"That's right. How did I forget this old fox? Zhong Yun, you immediately upload my order to Wen He, and ask him to do everything possible to cause chaos for Cao Cao. Liu Yu ordered.
Just now, Liu Yu and Chen Gong and the others were discussing while playing chess, Li Gui's intelligence was limited, and he couldn't keep up with Liu Yu's rhythm, so he could only happily wait beside him.
As soon as he heard Liu Yu give him an order, Li Gui immediately responded: "The minister will do it!" ”
Liu Yu also laid a sunspot in the rear of the Chen Palace. Chen Gong was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you?" ”
"We can't just make trouble for Cao Cao. It is also needed on the Koto side. Liu Yu said.
The eyes of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Chen Gong flashed, and they said in unison: "Your Majesty is talking about a plan to divide the world?"
"Don't say! Unspeakable! Continue playing chess. I'm going to win you this time. Liu Yu said with a sloppy look.
Chen Gong arched his hand and said, "That minister will not be polite!" If Your Majesty wants to win the minister, you must show your real skills!"
Several people continued to play Go in a hurry.
The final result was that Liu Yu did not win, and lost several games of Chen Gong, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng.
Liu Yu really felt that he still couldn't fight these old foxes in Go.
