Chapter 053: Abandoning the Son to Survive
Wang De quickly ordered someone to lay out the chess case, and everyone moved to sit. Jiang Wanzai is old, and Zhao Hao naturally took the initiative to ask him to go first. The first time the two met, they started with a stable layout, and there was nothing unusual about it, but after more than a dozen moves, Zhao Yu found that Jiang Wanzai's chess strength was still above Liu Huang, and he had a deep study of the layout.
Cars come and go, gradually entering the middle game, and the intraday situation has changed again. Jiang Wanzai's advantage gradually expanded, and he took the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, and took the middle palace in advance, and Zhao Yu was under his powerful offensive, and it was difficult to find a good strategy for confrontation for a while, and gradually turned to a comprehensive defense, passive everywhere, and could only see the moves, and it seemed that he had no power to parry. And Jiang Wanzai didn't want to let go, and he still kept pressing step by step, wanting to put Zhao Yu to death.
"Your Highness, can you ......" Yu Guogong saw that his grandson was at a disadvantage, and couldn't help but want to give advice.
"Hehe, Yu Guogong is silent when he watches chess." Yu Guogong didn't finish speaking, Ying Jieyan pulled his sleeve and said.
"Alas, Lord Jiang is not inferior to the current national players, and His Royal Highness is so young, how can he be Lord Jiang's opponent." Yu Guogong's face turned red, but he still couldn't help muttering a few words, avenging his grandson's grievances.
"What Guogong said is very true, Master Jiang's chess skills are a leader in the court, and His Royal Highness can be said to be able to play with him for more than 40 rounds without defeat." Ying Jieyan still said with a smile, and his words were full of praise, but it could also be seen that he was not optimistic about His Highness's follow-up.
"Well, His Royal Highness already has a master's demeanor, but he still lacks on-the-spot experience, he has more than enough to keep and is not enterprising, if he can often learn from others in the future......" Jiang Wanzai listened to the whispers of the two and also interjected.
'Bang' Zhao Yu looked at the situation on the board, playing with two chess pieces in his hand, as if he was thinking hard. But Jiang Wanzai is gone this time, Zhao Yu plays chess and takes a wild path, he has not received formal training, chess is his teacher, the street chess stall and the online game hall are the school, all rely on the accumulation of experience with countless opponents. Therefore, he is not good at the beginning, and the middle game or endgame is his home game. He also understands that the situation is really not good for him, Jiang Wanzai's chess style is a combination of steady and fierce, his strength is strong, and he is suppressed everywhere, if he fights with him step by step, the only way is to surrender to the abandoned son.
"Huh!" While the three of them were talking, Zhao Yu fell again, and the prancing horse was ready to cross the river to attack, and he also launched an attack in such a situation, which surprised everyone.
"Your Royal Highness......" As soon as Zhao Yu fell, Yu Rugui couldn't care about whether he was a gentleman or not, and wanted to remind him, but it was still too late, Jiang Wanzai had already followed the son, and he was promoted to patrol the river to strengthen the defense.
"Alas, if Your Highness is trying to be stable, he can still maneuver around and find opportunities to change, but now it is not good." Ying Jie Yan also sighed and said regretfully.
"Your Highness, can you do it all over again?" Jiang Wanzai stroked his beard and asked.
"If you make a decision, how can you regret the move." Zhao Yu shook his head, lifted the car and lay down behind the horse, in the eyes of everyone, he used the car to protect the horse, and the other party restrained his two sons with a car, which made the situation even more unfavorable to him.
Sure enough, Jiang Wanzai seized the opportunity to attack and wanted to step on his horse, no matter whether Zhao Hao withdrew the car or forcibly changed his son, he would obviously suffer. What is surprising is that Zhao Yu ignored the risk of losing his horse and launched an attack with artillery again. Of course, Jiang Wanzai would not let go of this opportunity to take out his horse. But he soon found that this trick was not wise, and although he won the child, the car was restrained, and he was driven in the middle.
Seeing the success of the abandoned horse counterattack plan designed by Zhao Yu, he immediately seized the weakness of Jiang Wanzai's middle car being contained, broke through the middle, and strived to take the initiative to break the rhythm of the opponent's multi-way attack. Jiang Wanzai also hurriedly changed his tactics to try to make up for the mistake just now, but the opportunity was lost, and after several battles, it was still difficult to recover the declining momentum, forming a relatively optimistic situation for Black. And Zhao Yu's chess style changed, taking advantage of the advantage in the board, with the cooperation of the car and artillery to launch a fierce attack, his moves were delicate and powerful, decisive killing, and once again expanded his advantage.
"The old minister lost." After a few rounds of redemption and killing, the disc has formed a 'rook soldier to rook pawn double elephant' situation, the red low rook is lonely, it is said that Jiang Wanzai still has the opportunity to fight for a draw, but as long as he takes a wrong move, it will be a success or a failure. And if it goes on with his identity and age, it is really undignified, so it is better to simply admit defeat.
"Master Jiang agreed." After entering the endgame, Zhao Yu understood that as long as he continued to follow the chess score, the worst outcome would be a draw, and the current situation was exactly like this, and with Jiang Wanzai's chess skills, it was difficult to make another mistake, admitting defeat was indeed letting himself, and he thanked him.
"His Royal Highness abandoned his son to turn the tables, what a clever move, he has the realm of a national player, and my husband is ashamed of himself." He understands that abandonment is an extremely clever tactic, usually used in the middle game or endgame. Players must be good at seizing opportunities, carefully planning, and accurate calculations, so as to get out of the pleasing discard. As the saying goes, human nature is like chess, and His Royal Highness still dares to take risks in an extremely passive situation, which shows that he is very bold, especially when it happens to such a young child.
"It is not easy for His Royal Highness to persist in an extremely difficult situation, and then he can abandon his son to survive with the courage of a strong man who breaks his wrist, seek opportunities to fight back, and his tenacity of will is admired by the old minister!" Jiang Wanzai also praised that he is over seventy years old, and he has experienced several ups and downs in the officialdom, and it can be said that he has seen all kinds of people, and some people retreat in the face of difficulties, or flee in embarrassment. His Royal Highness's age is when he is honest, and he will not pretend to be fake, but now he is facing difficulties, even if everyone is not optimistic, he still does not give up, it can be seen that he must be a tough person.
"The two adults praised it, and the king was ashamed." Zhao Yu thanked him, "The ancients said: Ambition is not easy, and things are not evaded. Now my Great Song Dynasty is tired and dangerous, and if this king encounters setbacks, he will avoid it, and he does not have the courage to fight against the water, so how can he talk about recovering the country. ”
"Then what does Your Highness think of the current situation in my court?" Jiang Wanzai and Ying Jieyan glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, he thought about it and asked.
"It's like a chess game." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said, he understood that the two old men must have a deep meaning when they came here, and if he prevaricated, he could avoid their temptation, making them think that he was just a smart and a little overly child. But he was alone in the imperial court, and it was difficult to speak, but if he had Jiang Wanzai's support, it would be a different situation, and it would also help to implement his plan, so he decided to be 'serious'.
"Oh, how do you say that?" Ying Jieyan frowned and said.
"Since our DPRK evacuated Quanzhou, Liangguang, Jiangxi Road, and Fujian Road have all been attacked by enemy troops. Although there was resistance, it was difficult to stop the enemy, lost the city and lost the land, and put the court in danger, are the two sides similar? Zhao Yu said.
"Well, there are similarities. But does Your Highness think we still have a chance to turn the tables? Ying Jieyan nodded.
"Hehe, of course there is a chance, it just depends on whether we can seize it." Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Your Highness, don't talk about the government, let's continue to play chess!" Yu Rugui realized that the two old men were 'not good at coming', so he hurriedly said something to divert the topic, and asked Wang De to rearrange the chess.
"Guogong, it's just gossip, it's good to let His Highness talk about it!" Jiang Wanzai stopped him, and at the same time made a respectful appearance.
"It's fine." Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Jiang, may I ask if you have received any news today that the land of Guangzhou continues to march?" ”
"Not yet."
"Have you ever received an urgent letter from the minister?"
"Nothing!"
"Okay, now that the Tartar soldiers are in full swing, why are they reluctant to march and stay in place?" Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and asked rhetorically.
"His Royal Highness said that it was indeed strange after thinking about it, but the old minister couldn't figure it out for a while, and asked His Highness for guidance." Jiang Wanzai frowned and pondered for a moment and asked.
"Both of you are my courtiers, if you are the leader of the Tartars, under what circumstances will you suddenly stop marching?" Zhao Hao knew that if he really put on a preachy appearance, the two old men would not say anything, and they must be very unhappy in their hearts, so they guided them with words and put a big hat on them.
"There are three situations: one is that there is a shortage of food and grass, so we have to stop and wait for allocation; In addition, when encountering strong resistance from the enemy, it is difficult to advance and wait for reinforcements; The third is that there is a major event in the country, and all actions are forced to stop. Ying Jieyan replied immediately.
"The Tartar warfare never carried a large amount of grain and grass, all of which were taken locally, and although the two Cantons were barren, they were not poor, and Guangzhou was a rich land, and the shortage of grain and grass would not occur; Our army is all looking for the wind, and it is impossible to wait for reinforcements; There was only civil strife in the country. Jiang Wanzai analyzed.
As early as last autumn, there were rumors of a rebellion in the northwest Totomuer Division, thinking that the situation had deteriorated now, and the enemy chieftain Kublai Khan wanted to transfer his troops south of the Yangtze River to the northwest to quell the rebellion, so all the armies stopped attacking and prepared to go north. And it's not difficult to know for sure, as long as you send out a detailed investigation to find out. Zhao Yu continued, but what he said was recorded in the history books, and it was really what was happening, but he couldn't say it clearly, lest they feel shameless because they didn't even know about such a big thing happening in the world.
"That's it, the enemy chief Meng Ge in the northwest died, and after Kublai Khan stole the throne, he didn't stop ****." Ying Jieyan nodded and agreed with what Zhao Yu said, "Lord Jiang should find out the situation as soon as possible, and if it is true, he should reorganize his troops and horses at this moment, launch a counterattack, and regain the lost territory." ”
"What does Your Highness think?" Jiang Wanzai did not answer strictly, but turned his face to ask Zhao Hao.
"Abandon the child to survive!" Zhao Hao said with a smile......
