Chapter 5. Game
Just when Zhongshan Bo decided to appoint Chen Ziyou as his adviser, and the whole country entered a state of intense preparation, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, thousands of miles away, was in a different style.
Xianyang, Yongyang Palace.
A young man in a yellow robe is playing chess against a young man in a white robe.
And the chess played by the two is a very famous game of Go in ancient civilizations.
On the chessboard, the sunspot is murderous, but the white man always retreats step by step, and it is difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, which has become a rout.
"Haha, General Bai, you will always lose to me this time!" The yellow-robed young man raised his head and smiled smugly at the white-robed young man sitting across from him.
The young man in the yellow robe had a ruddy complexion, red lips and white teeth, and at first glance, he had lived in the deep palace for many years.
The white-robed young man smiled slightly, took his eyes off the chessboard, and looked at the innocent young man in front of him with a smile, but then his name for the yellow-robed young man was indeed surprising!
"The chess strength of the lord of the country has increased again compared to the last game, pressing step by step, killing decisively, and leaving no way back, which is really difficult for the minister to parry for a while.
Who would have thought that the yellow-robed young man holding the sunspot in his hand at this moment is the current lord of the Qin State, the King of Qin who makes all the countries frightened, after all, anyone who looks at first glance is just a harmless teenager who is human and animal.
The yellow-robed young man grinned and said: "General Bai is too conservative in playing chess, although he is a camp step by step, but if he encounters a decisive chess player and a full game of killing moves, then the previous layout is inevitably a little redundant." To be honest, Lone really didn't expect that General Bai, who was decisive and scheming on the battlefield, would be so conservative in his chess. It's completely different from the battlefield. ”
The white-robed young man smiled helplessly and said: "Let the lord of the country laugh, in fact, the two armies are facing each other, and it is very taboo to repeatedly rely on Qi to win, and the strange word of surprise victory lies in the fact that it violates common sense, so it can often confuse the enemy army, so it can be used to win." However, once you use too many tricks, the opponent grasps the habit and thinks and acts with reverse thinking, then the trick is just a joke. It is very difficult to win a real battlefield game of equal strength, and what is more important is the arrangement of soldiers and the rational arrangement of troops. Bai has been fighting horses for ten years, famous for his tricks, and there are not a few enemies, if he always relies on his tricks to win, I'm afraid that one day he will die on the battlefield. Conspiracy is not the right way in the end, and the real victory or defeat is to see the blood. ”
The yellow-robed young man was stunned, he had known this white general for several years, and often invited him to come to the palace to chat, sometimes to play chess, sometimes to appreciate calligraphy and painting. Normally, the two don't talk about other things, but for the first time in a long time, this is the first time that the white general has been heard mention the military formation.
"General Bai laughed, General Bai is known as the first general of my Great Zhou, and everyone at home and abroad who hears the name of General Wu Anjun is terrified, and those who can see through the general's conspiracy are afraid that they have not yet been born haha."
"This is also something that Bai has always been lucky." The general, surnamed Bai, said softly.
"By the way, I haven't asked the general what the chances of General Liu winning this expedition to Zhongshan are?" The yellow-robed young man suddenly changed his mind.
"If nothing else, it should be a big victory."
"Lone Ke has written down General Bai's promise, if he fails, Lone Ke will punish General Bai well." The yellow-robed young man looked at the white-robed young man with playful eyes.
"It's nature." The white-robed young man dropped a white son on the chessboard, stood up and said, "Liu Wei is leaving Xianyang City today, after all, he has followed Bai for many years, and he is still a little relieved to lead Bai for the first time, and he has something to tell him before parting, so he can only say goodbye to the lord first." ”
"General Bai cares about the country's major affairs, how dare he stay with small things, I hope to be able to play against General Bai next time." The yellow-robed young man smiled and nodded.
The white-robed young man shook his head deeply and slowly retreated.
After the white-robed young man withdrew, the yellow-robed young man who felt bored was about to get up and leave, but suddenly stopped his gaze on the chessboard.
After two teas like this, the yellow-robed young man didn't think of a way to cut off Bai Zi, and some of the previous layouts that made him feel Bai Zi's unbelievable were all clear at this moment.
"Step by step, Bai Lang, why can't Lone guess your thoughts?"
......
Outside the gate of Xianyang City.
Today is the day when the Qin army marches to Zhongshan, and the streets in the city are full of people on both sides, wanting to see the demeanor of this army.
At the gate of the city, Liu Weizheng, the general who led the army for the first time, stood respectfully beside a white-robed young man, and this white-robed young man was the person who had played against the King of Qin in the palace before.
"General Lao was sent off at the city gate, and Liu Wei was grateful." Liu Wei, who had dark skin and a fierce face, respectfully hugged his fists and said to the white-robed young man.
The people who watched this scene were all curious, as the commander of this army of 50,000, Liu Wei actually respected this person so much, which made people very curious about the identity of this white-robed young man.
Only the 50,000 cavalrymen who had already set up a formation outside the city gate looked at the white-robed young man with a look of fanaticism in their eyes.
"In this battle, remember not to take it lightly, do you remember the method of setting up camp and arranging troops and arranging troops that I told you before?" The white-robed young man changed his elegant appearance in the palace and asked seriously.
"The general can rest assured, the general has already mastered the law taught by the general, and this expedition will capture the king of Zhongshan to see the general. If you fail..."Liu Weizheng wanted to say that if he failed, he would have no face to see the general again, so he could only kill himself to repay the kindness of his encounter.
The white-robed young man cut off his words: "The expedition is imminent, it is unlucky to say this, if you really fail, you have to come back alive to see me, understand?" Remember to report every day, and I want to keep track of your march. It's not too early, let's go on the expedition. ”
"Yes!" Liu Wei responded, and then stepped on the war horse on the side, and galloped to the 50,000 iron horsemen outside the city gate.
The white-robed young man looked at the army that gradually walked away and disappeared into the smoke and dust, but a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
Seeing that the young man had not spoken for a long time, the attendant who was leading the horse beside him asked cautiously, "General, do you want to go back to the house or to the barracks?" ”
The white-robed young man frowned, and then said softly: "You guys go back to the house first, I'm going to do some private business." ”
The attendant retreated with interest, serving this young man for many years, and he still knew what to ask and what not to ask.
