Chapter 124: The King of Chess

Dog bites dog with a mouthful of hair, Fujiwara Shuxiong is not a good dog, Li Huang is not a good bird, two people are half a pound and eight taels, one regards this place as his own home, and the other is dead and does not leave.

Many people don't know what is going on with half a catty and eight taels, in ancient times, one catty was sixteen taels, and half a catty was naturally eight taels, which even children in elementary school knew, but in later generations, one catty was ten taels, and some people were confused.

Why was a pound worth sixteen taels in ancient times? There is naturally something to say in this, and it is not something that the ancients made up casually.

At that time, the sixteen taels of scales were called the sixteen Venus scales, which were composed of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, and warned those who did business to be honest and trustworthy, not to deceive or conceal. Otherwise, there will be no blessing for one or two short, two or two less, and three or two for ......a short life. Think about the profiteers in later generations, they are really unblessed, less lu, and lose their lives, and the money they earn is sold for medicine and eaten.

Zhen Qian paid out of his own pocket to entertain two people, and at the same time entertained two of their subordinates, and he was eaten poor by these two people sooner or later.

"There is chess in the house, why don't we play a game!"

Chess is not Zhen Qian brought, as early as the Warring States Period, the soldiers creatively created this game according to the evolution of the war, the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Niu Seng and Ru joined the flying stone (the cannon is next to the stone word), and slowly there was a cannon of later generations, and perfected the playing methods of both sides, becoming the prototype of modern chess. In the Song Dynasty, it joined the Chu River Han Realm, which became more and more similar to modern chess.

The appearance of Tang Dynasty chess is mostly copper pictographic chess pieces, which are very similar to later chess pieces, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that they slowly evolved into flat chess pieces.

In addition to the well-known pot throwing, polo, and juju in later generations, chess was also one of the entertainment of the Tang Dynasty, suitable for all ages, from the emperor's ministers to the peddlers' pawns.

Of course, Zhen Qian's family also has chess, but one of them was used to mint private money by himself because of the copper chess pieces, and the other was kept for Nanmu chess pieces.

Playing chess requires sharp thinking, careful analytical skills, judgment skills, and predictive skills. It can be seen in the chess and card room in later generations, often appearing in the shade of roadside trees, and there are many on the Internet, it is convenient and fast to fight, Zhen Qian will naturally be, and it is good!

It's a pity that the way chess in the Tang Dynasty was played differently from later generations, and there was a pair of cannons missing, which made Zhen Qian a little unaccustomed.

Li Huang's chess skills are very high, and he killed Zhen Qian's farts and urine in three games in a row, and he lost his armor, and he saw that Fujiwara Shuxiong was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to rush up to help Zhen Qian.

"Fujiwara-kun! You and the prince have a few sets of ....... ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong couldn't hold back his eagerness to try, and immediately fought with Li Huang, "...... Car...... Fall off the horse...... Cross the river and pawn ......! ”

Li Huang laughed three times, "Happy! Again......".

Fujiwara Shuxiong had a bitter face, and said that the bystanders were clear, and the parties were confused, Zhen Qian could always find Li Huang's flaws when he was playing chess, but when it was his turn, it was full of loopholes! was ...... two sets in a row by Li Huang, and he felt that he had lost the face of the Japanese people, looking like a gorilla in estrus, blushing like a monkey's buttocks.

Li Huang was even more proud, his face was radiant, and he didn't have the style of a gentleman: "Even if you play a thousand more plates, you still lose to this king!" ”

Fujiwara brushed like a toad, and called Zhen Qian a brother: "Brother Zhen, how about you and I go down together?" ”

Li Huang was happy when he heard it, and when he lost, he wanted to find an ally, "Okay! The two of you are not the opponent of this king when you go together? ”

Zhen Qian couldn't get used to Li Huang's arrogant appearance, "Okay! This is what the prince himself said, don't blame us for not winning ......."

"Come on...... This king is also afraid, you two shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be able to ....... ”

Li Huang's chess skills are indeed very high, and he even left a hand, but he didn't do his best when he was one-on-one, and he didn't find out that he was in Li Huang's hands when the two played together.

"The pawn crosses the river and goes forward, General!"

"I'm in the way!"

"This king will be again!"

"I'll block it again!"

"It's up to you to stop you this time...... Checkmate! Throw in the towel! ”

Li Huang proudly threw the chess pieces in his hand, like a general who had won a battle on the battlefield, and looked condescendingly at the two defeated generals in front of him, "This king still has a cart that hasn't moved, so you guys will kill you and run away, even if you practice for another ten years, you are not the opponent of this king?" ”

Zhen Qian had to admit that under the rules of chess in the Tang Dynasty, even if he had three heads, he was not Li Huang's opponent, "Don't talk too much, the grass people just don't adapt to this kind of chess rules, so they will lose!" ”

"Ugh! …… If you are still not convinced, this king will convince you, but you can tell me what are the rules of this game of chess? ”

Seeing that Li Huang had taken the bait, Zhen Qian took out four chess pieces and put them on the chessboard, "This is a cannon, you can play across the mountain, and the rules of chess should be changed?" ”

Li Huang looked at Zhen Qian with a smile, is this a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry? If you want to change the rules to benefit yourself, you have to see how he changes the rules?

Zhen Qian spread out a piece of paper, on which was painted a chessboard completely different from the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty chessboard was nine vertical and nine horizontal, and there was no distinction between the Chu River and the Han Dynasty.

Li Huang looked at Zhen Qian strangely, and found that there was a gap on the chessboard on the paper, that is, the Chu River and Han Boundary that Zhen Qian said, there were ten horizontal lines and nine vertical lines on the chessboard divided into ninety intersections, and there were four more cannons, each chess piece fell on the intersection line, and there were a total of thirty-two chess pieces on the chessboard, divided into black and red, and each color had sixteen chess pieces, divided into seven arms: one handsome (general), two each for the rook, horse, artillery, phase (elephant), and Shi (soldier), and five soldiers (pawns), placed and moved at the intersection.

"Like the word Feitian, you can't cross the river, and there are chess pieces in the middle of the word 'Tian' that can't go, which is called the elephant's eye. Horse jumping day, commonly known as 'horse walking day', and because the horse can choose to jump around eight intersections, so it is called 'eight-sided majesty', if there are other chess pieces in the direction to go, the horse can not walk over, commonly known as 'lame horse legs'. The car is the most powerful on the chessboard, regardless of the horizontal line, the vertical line can walk, as long as there is no child to block, the number of steps is not limited, commonly known as the 'car line straight'. When the cannon does not eat the pieces, it moves exactly the same as the car, but when the cannon eats the pieces, it must jump over a chess piece, both its own and the enemy's can be, commonly known as 'the cannon beats the mountain', 'the mountain cannon' and 'the mountain fights the cow'....... ”

Zhen Qian explained the way of modern chess, and casually demonstrated it to the two of them, the rules have been changed, and Li Huang can still be majestic!

The chessboard has changed, and the moves have changed, but fortunately, the meaning is not the same, but there are more rules and more complexities, and there are more things to think about. But these can't help but be a chess idiot Li Huang, "What kind of weapon is this cannon of yours, do you have it in the war?" ”

"Of course there is ......."

Seeing that Li Huang was a military idiot, he didn't even know about artillery: "As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, projectile weapons already existed, and they were called --- at that time. In the late Warring States period, the Qin army attacked Zhengcheng in South Korea and used stone cannons to shoot at the city tower from a distance, and then used pine artillery to capture Zhengcheng in South Korea in World War I. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a mechanical inventor named Ma Jun in the Wei State, who improved the stone throwing machine, and made a kind of wheel throwing machine for siege by using the principle of continuous rotation of the wheel, called the 'wheel cannon', which can continuously throw dozens of stones to attack the enemy, and the distance can reach one or two hundred steps away......".

"I see, that's ......", Li Huang suddenly became interested, rolled up his sleeves and sat cross-legged opposite Zhen Qian, "Come on...... Just follow the rules you said, fight for 300 rounds! ”

The development of Chinese chess is a slow process, Chinese chess in the modern sense is known to be basically finalized in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Li Huang's first contact with his heart is like a cat scratching, but as soon as he gets started, he finds that many moves have been greatly restricted, making it difficult for Li Huang to adapt.

However, chess nerds are chess nerds, and some people are mathematicians by nature and have a sensitivity to numbers that ordinary people can't match.

In Zhen Qian's eyes, Li Huang also has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to match, and this talent is manifested in chess, but after only five or six games, Li Huang already has a complete set of ideas, and he is soaring up horizontally.

At first, Zhen Qian still believed that Ma Youyi didn't think so, but soon felt a little difficult, Li Huang's attack was as sharp as a storm, and his defense was impregnable, and it was difficult to find Li Huang's flaws.

Li Huang's face gradually showed a smile, Zhen Qian locked his eyebrows, his face was embarrassed, the chess pieces in his hand were uncertain, seeing that his defense line was torn apart by the opponent layer by layer, completely exposed to the opponent's offensive, he sighed and threw a son to admit defeat: "The prince is really a chess player, and the grass people admire it so much!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong on the side was eager to try, and when he saw Zhen Qian raise his hand to surrender, he immediately squeezed Zhen Qian away: "I'll ......!" ”

Li Huang glanced at Fujiwara Shuxiong, his eyes were full of disdain, "It's up to you...... This king let you have a car and a cannon, and what can I do! ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong was screamed by Li Huang's arrogant and arrogant wow, and he had the posture of PK with Li Huang's real person, "I haven't fought yet, don't underestimate the prince who has no one in the country!" ”

The two of them are like roosters in the cockfighting arena, rubbing their hands, and their four red eyes are glaring at each other angrily, "I have no regrets...... I killed ......, I made a mistake, this son can't go like this, this king will teach you how to go!" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong is not Li Huang's opponent at all, and he is full of loopholes at the beginning, allowing the opponent to eat three sons in a row.

Fujiwara Shuxiong was also anxious, and in a hurry, he messed up and sent his own chess pieces to the tiger's mouth, Li Huang has no gentlemanly style at all, and he wants to regret his chess life, if you don't kill you, you will never stop.

For a while, the situation on the chessboard changed, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and the rooks rampaged upside down, and Fujiwara was powerless to parry, and he was defeated in less than a dozen rounds.

"Come again!"

Fujiwara Brush breathed a sigh of relief, and if he couldn't win, he would consume the other party alive!

For Fujiwara Brush Hero's stubborn fighting posture, Fujiwara Brush Hero's chess style opened wide and closed, and in a blink of an eye, he played ten games in a row, looking at Fujiwara's pig liver-like face, laughed wildly three times, and almost died of laughter in one breath.
