(Today is the 78th anniversary of the 77 Lugou Bridge Incident, and a new chapter has been added to commemorate it.) ）

Let the little Japan outside use all kinds of means to tempt, Ye Tufei should not do anything, and instructed all the brothers to seize the time and take turns to rest.

As dawn approached, Nobu Takahashi finally arrived.

Just when Takahashi Xin took over the loudspeaker handed over by Liu Yujie, who had been in charge of shouting, Ye Tufei suddenly woke up from his sleep, he pushed open the window, and looked with interest at the crowd reflected by the chaotic torches outside the courtyard.

Takahashi Nobu took the horn, raised it to his mouth but put it down, turned around and walked to the division commander and muttered a lot.

It was in these few minutes that the night before dawn finally faded, revealing the whiteness of the fish's belly in the sky.

What Takahashi wanted to say to the division commander was approved by the division commander, and he seemed quite confident, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and just wanted to raise the horn to shout, but saw that the originally closed gate was slowly opened.

Afterwards, Takahashi Shin saw Ye Tufei, who made him sleep.

"You're still here? That's it, how can Jia Jiawang's place be as lively as Xuzhou City? Facing Takahashi Shin and the countless Japanese soldiers behind Takahashi Shin, Ye Tufei showed no nervousness, and greeted Takahashi Shin with a smile and joked.

Takahashi's face changed three times in a row, first in surprise, then nervousness, and finally back to nature. He smiled and replied to Ye Tufei: "Where there is Ye Liuye, it is naturally lively. ”

Ye Tufei smiled and said: "Ye Liuye alone is not enough, Ye Liuye is actually a person who likes to be quiet, only when he meets someone like Mr. Takahashi, he will like to be lively." ”

Takahashi Shin laughed and said, "Makes sense, makes sense!" However, since Ye Liuye likes to be quiet, then we might as well be quiet, how about the next game of Go? ”

Ye Tufei shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said: "This is a very good idea, since Mr. Takahashi has such a good idea, and the sixth master, I prefer the beauty of adults, hehe, then let's go to the next plate!" ”

Takahashi waved his hand behind him, and immediately two soldiers ran back to the chess set.

Takahashi Shin took two steps closer to Ye Tufei and said, "This game of chess may be the most interesting game in history, doesn't Ye Liuye want to add some legends to this game of chess?" ”

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "I said, Ye Liuye likes the beauty of adults the most, if Mr. Takahashi has any ideas, as long as it is interesting, I will agree to the sixth master." ”

Takahashi squinted slightly, and said, "How about we make a bet?" ”

Ye Tufei smiled: "You win, I, Ye Tufei, will be dealt with by you!" You lose, leaving you Takahashi Shin with your life! ”

Takahashi shook his head slightly and said, "Why is it so bloody?" How about we only bet on the hostages inside? ”

Ye Tufei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hostage? Oh, since you think he's a hostage, it's a hostage, let's go, how do you want to bet? ”

Takahashi Nobu thought for a moment and said, "I won, you let the hostages go, and I guarantee that you and your brothers will leave Xuzhou City safely, oh, and those from Jia Jiawang." ”

Ye Tufei took out a cigar, lit it, and said, "What if you lose?" ”

Takahashi said: "If I lose, in addition to the conditions I said just now, you can also make three requests to me, oh, that hostage is at the disposal of Ye Liuye." ”

Ye Tufei took a light puff on his cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said, "Do you think you will win this game of chess?" ”

Takahashi nodded and said, "Of course, Ye Liuye, you seem to have the upper hand, but in fact you are uncertain, because you can't figure out how much value a Japanese lieutenant general has in this game." ”

At this time, Little Japan had already moved a table and chairs, and placed them in the middle of the two, two rattan chairs, and a small round table made of mahogany. The two soldiers who had run back to the chess set also returned, gasping for breath, and placed the chess equipment on the small round table.

Ye Tufei pulled a rattan chair and sat down, and then motioned to Takahashi to sit down and speak.

After Takahashi sat down, Ye Tufei smoked his cigar and replied: "Mr. Takahashi is well versed in psychology, yes, I really don't know how much the lieutenant general's chief of staff is worth now." ”

Ye Tufei said as he opened the lid of the jar containing the chess pieces, grabbed a handful of chess pieces casually, and paused on the chessboard. This is the rule of chess selection in the game of Go, which is called guessing first.

Nobu Takahashi smiled and nodded, twisted a piece from another chess piece jar, and gently placed it on the chessboard, meaning, I guess the number of chess pieces in your hand is singular.

Ye Tufei let go of his hand and began to count the numbers, saying while counting: "In the hearts of you Japanese, the value of one Japanese soldier is higher than the value of ten Chinese soldiers, which is why you deliberately reduce the casualty figure in every battle report." Oh, Mr. Takahashi, you guessed it, you go black first! ”

As he spoke, Ye Tufei pushed the black jar on his side to Takahashi Shin, and exchanged it for the white jar in front of Takahashi Shin.

The two of them each placed their chess pieces on the two stars on the right-hand side, and then, Takahashi Nobu twisted a black chess piece and pointed it directly at Tian Yuan in the center of the chessboard.

"What Ye Liuye said is reasonable, in the hearts of the Japanese, the value of a soldier is definitely comparable to the value of ten Chinese soldiers, or even higher. But Ye Liuye should not forget that the Japanese are deeply immersed in the spirit of bushido, as long as it is for the interests of the empire, down to ordinary soldiers, up to division generals, they are willing to sacrifice themselves. ”

Ye Tufei twisted a white child, and his hand stopped in mid-air, as if he was thinking about something. After stopping for about half a minute, he suddenly threw the chess pieces back into the chess piece jar, picked up the cigar and took two puffs, and said, "There is no tea in chess, why don't you feel it at all!" ”

Takahashi Shin smiled and beckoned the soldiers behind him to hurry up and arrange.

Ye Tufei waved his hand and said: "No need, since the chief of staff of your army is willing to sacrifice himself for the Japanese emperor, then this gamble is not necessary, let's solve the problem in the most manly way, we are waiting for your attack at any time." ”

After speaking, Ye Tufei stood up and was about to turn his head back.

Takahashi Nobu sighed heavily behind him and said, "Okay, you won this game!" I admit that we cannot give up the life of the chief of staff of the divisional regiment. ”

Ye Tufei turned around and said, "Mr. Takahashi has always been very wise, how could he use such an inferior trick to deceive his old friend?" It seems that Mr. Takahashi is very insincere! ”

Takahashi Shin had a bitter face and replied: "The request of the division commander, Takahashi Shin has no choice, and it must be implemented." ”

Ye Tufei sat back, took a puff of his cigar, took the teacup handed by Takahashi, opened the lid of the teacup, and took a small sip. Takahashi Shin looked at Ye Tufei, who looked calm, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the tea?" ”

Ye Tufei laughed, drank all the tea in the teacup, and said, "If I was afraid, I wouldn't come, if you want to kill me first, you don't have to be so troublesome." ”

Takahashi Nobunaga let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that I should listen carefully to Ye Liuye's advice." ”

Ye Tufei said: "I don't dare to make suggestions, I just want to make some requests to Mr. Takahashi." ”

Takahashi said: "Please ask Ye Liuye to command." ”

Ye Tufei said: "First, release the heroes of Erlang Mountain who were detained by you in Jiajiawang. ”

Takahashi nodded and said, "Well, this request is not too much, but what about the second?" ”

Ye Tufei picked up a white seed, pointed it near Tian Yuan on the chessboard, and easily took Tian Yuan's black seed, and said, "Make the first first, let's talk about the second." ”

Takahashi Nobu stubbornly put down a sunspot on the Tianyuan point, and took out the white seed that Ye Tufei had just ordered, and said, "Let's put everything on the table first and explain it clearly, and then implement it one, two, three." Ye Liuye, it's not that I, Takahashi Shin, don't believe you, but Takahashi Shin is not the supreme governor of Xuzhou City after all, in case you make a request for non-points......"

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "Mr. Takahashi's heart is really strong, so passive, and he can still maintain such a meticulous mind, which really makes Ye admire." Okay, I'll put it all on the table. ”

Nobu Takahashi made a gesture of please.

Ye Tufei said: "After I confirm the safety of the brothers on Jia Jiawang's side, you will release the brothers here." ”

Takahashi Shin looked embarrassed and said, "How can the safety of the chief of staff be guaranteed?" ”

Ye Tufei pointed to his nose and said, "I'll stay here!" Mr. Takahashi, I know what you want is me, you let all my brothers go, and I also let go of your chief of staff, so let's just play a good game of chess, how about it? ”

Takahashi picked up the teacup, but instead of rushing to drink the water, he put it under his nose and took a deep breath. "This tea is the best tea in Japan, Ye Liuye, the most important thing to drink this tea is patience, you have to taste it slowly one by one."

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "Even if it is the best tea in Little Japan, it is still tea after all, since it is tea, then it has only one function, to make water for people to drink." It doesn't matter at all how the drinker drinks it, because as long as the drinker has served the purpose, the tea is considered to have served its purpose. ”

Takahashi Xin smelled enough, and finally took a small sip and responded to Ye Tufei: "But like you, it's a tyrannical thing after all!" ”

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "You like to drink tea, you think it's a heavenly thing, but I only like to drink, and I only think of tea as a leaf." ”

Takahashi Nobu didn't answer, pointed to the chessboard, and said, "This chess...... I don't think I need to go down any further. ”

Ye Tufei said: "To go down or not, you decide, I will accompany you." ”

Takahashi nodded slowly, and said, "Sixth Master Ye, please go back first, in half an hour, I will personally go upstairs to visit you, and when the time comes, I will tell you my final decision in person." ”

Seeing a trace of doubt flashing on Ye Tufei's face, Takahashi Shin hurriedly explained: "Oh, before I make a decision, you have to let me take a look at the health of the chief of staff!" Please rest assured Ye Liuye, I, Takahashi Shin, will only go upstairs and promise not to bring any weapons. ”
