Chapter 158: Measuring Talent with Chess (3)

If you want to find someone to play chess, you naturally have to find an idler. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info It will be approaching evening, the sky is getting dark, it is the busiest time of the day, and it is not easy to find an idler who has nothing to do. Jiang Yun thought about it, looking at the entire Lu family, I am afraid that only the old man is the most leisurely, and he is it.

Hurrying back to the Lu Mansion, Jiang Yun ran straight to the vegetable patch in the backyard. Not to mention, he really got him caught. Old man Lu may have been reincarnated in the wrong place, and under that noble identity, he actually hides a persistent heart for farming. For this lovely vegetable field, the old man is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and looking at the entire Lu family, he is the most diligent in running to the toilet. When Jiang Yun arrived, Lu Qian was rolling up his sleeves and pouring the fertilizer in the wooden barrel into the vat next to the vegetable field.

The dung thing, it is best to let it naturally precipitate and ferment, and it must not be stirred, such as Lu Qian's big open and closed bucket to vent, even if it is the cold winter season, the smell is really flattering. Jiang Yun secretly held his breath, stepped forward and said in a muffled voice, "Old man, are you done?" ”

"Xiaoyun." Lu Qian glanced back when he heard this, and when he saw that it was Jiang Yun, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's almost, dinner time hasn't come yet, and the old man just picked up the fertilizer first, and he can directly apply the fertilizer tomorrow morning." Although this vegetable can survive in winter, it requires more fertilizer than usual, so it is impossible not to prepare some in advance. Wait a minute, it's good to be old. ”

"It's okay, you take your time, don't rush."

After Lu Qian poured the four buckets of fertilizer at his feet, he brought a basin of water, washed the filling wooden barrels, and placed them neatly aside, and then arranged the knots on both sides of the flat shoulder neatly and put them on top of the wooden barrels, then put down the sleeves one by one, and walked slowly towards Jiang Yun, and said with a smile as he walked: "You two young couples, when the old man is looking for you, I wish I had finished talking quickly and you would leave earlier, why did you come to me again?" ”

When Jiang Yun heard this, he smiled embarrassedly. "Isn't it time for dinner, the hour has not yet come, and it is really boring to wander around. So if you want to find an old man to play a game, do you have time? ”

"Playing chess?" Lu Qian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled, and said happily: "Make!" In this life, there are two good things. One is to play chess, and the other is to farm. It's a pity that the old man is talented, and his chess skills are too exquisite, and he has no opponent in Yizhou for decades. You kid is the first person to take the initiative to play chess with me in the past 30 years, and he is worthy of being the son-in-law of my Lu family, very good! ”

Lu Qian, as his name suggests, has always been humble, he has never heard of him having a history of bragging, although these words sound a bit of boasting, but Jiang Yun will never doubt its authenticity. I was sweating profusely when I heard it, this was hitting the muzzle?

"You wait, I'll go get chess! While there is still light in the sky, the two of us will set up a game in the gazebo. Lu Qian's face was excited, and he wanted to run to his own room.

Jiang Yun's eyes were quick, he hurriedly grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "No need, I'll take it." Let's hurry up, it'll be dark later. ”

"Done!"

------------------------------------

The two walked side by side, talking and laughing, and soon came to the lotus pond, wiped their sleeves on the stone bench at will, and after sitting down, Jiang Yun opened the previously prepared chessboard and placed it on the stone table, and the red and black chess pieces were placed on the chessboard.

"What kind of chess is this?" Looking at the wooden chess pieces with words engraved in the middle, Lu Qian looked stunned. "Don't you play Go?"

Jiang Yun put down the chess pieces, waved his hand and said, "The kid doesn't dare to play Go with you." The chess on the table is called chess, which is quite popular in the boy's hometown, although it is not as complicated as Go, but the fight is more intense, it is really like the two armies facing each other, and the small chessboard can contain a lot of military theory. Old man, you can't be scared, right? ”

"Haha!" Lu Qian flicked his beard and laughed: "As long as it is chess, the old man will never lose." You kid don't come to this set, just say the rules, let's have a good fight. ”

"Listen up, old man." Jiang Yun pointed to the chessboard and said, "This is chess, divided into black and white, with sixteen chess pieces each. Each move is different, but the ultimate goal is to win the opponent's commander. The place where the general is located is called the Nine Palaces, which can be regarded as the big tent of the Chinese army, the general does not leave the tent, the soldier elephant is not able to guard the river, the carriage and horse artillery are attacked, the pawn does not look back when he crosses the river, and the general does not meet. ”

Lu Qian stared at the chessboard with relish, and nodded slightly with Jiang Yun's words, as if he had understood all kinds of mysteries. He was silent for a moment, and after he had completely digested the rules, he said, "How to move?" ”

"It's not difficult to walk, you just need to remember one sentence." Jiang Yun said as he lifted specific chess pieces to demonstrate the moves in all directions one by one. "The horse walks the Japanese word, like a flying field. The car went straight, the cannon turned over the mountain, the taxi took the ramp to protect the general's side, and the pawn did not return. ”

After Jiang Yun's demonstration was finished, Lu Qian muttered: "Cheng, let's try it first, who will go first?" ”

"Red comes first and black comes first, you are red, you move first."

"Done." Lu Qian responded, looked at the chessboard and began to think. After all, the old man was upright, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally raised his hand to play chess, and Jiang Yun was stunned at the first move.

I saw that Lu Qian's old face, which was originally deep in thought, suddenly climbed with a touch of joy, reached out and grabbed the red cannon on the left, slapped it on the black horse on Jiang Yun's right side with a "snap", and ate Jiang Yun's son proudly. Eight into seven, resolute and decisive!

“。。。” Jiang Yun was speechless for a while, and said helplessly: "Old man, you are also murderous. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the black car and ate Lu Qian's red cannon. originally thought that Che 1 Ping 2 could break his thoughts, but he didn't want the old man to still persevere, grabbed another red cannon again, and took Jiang Yun's horse. It was another cannon two into seven, and then the rook 9 drew 8, and the first two steps of the battle were directly replaced with 4 chess pieces, and the battle situation was not tragic.

Jiang Yun couldn't help shouting: "Old man, I won't take you to play like this." Strategy, let's pay attention to strategy! How can such a serious matter as marching and arranging a battle become a fight between two outlaws in your hands? We can't make it, we can't make it smell so strong. Do you take your time? With such a negative mentality, the kid really doesn't believe how high your Go attainments are. There's no point in changing chess pieces! ”

The old man smiled, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. "You don't think it's meaningful, but you think it's necessary."

Seeing Lu Qian's gaze, Jiang Yun was shocked and suddenly understood. Playing chess, although he is not a master, but at least he is also a veteran, the rules, moves, skills, has long been clear, winning is deserved, and it is inevitable. But Lu Qian is different, he is the first time he comes into contact with chess, and he has only heard the rules of chess once, and it is inevitable that he will lose sight of one or the other if there are too many chess pieces.

In other words, in the case of chess, the more pieces on the board, the more disadvantageous it is for the novice, and conversely, if there are fewer pieces, the gap between the two will also be reduced, provided that there must be an "equivalent exchange". And Lu Qian's actions are exactly in line with this, and the value of horses and cannons is comparable.

No! To be precise, horses are even worth more than cannons. The horse is more flexible and has a wider offensive surface, and as the situation deepens, the value of the two will gradually increase, and there is a saying in chess that "the endgame horse wins". And the opening of the gun advantage, for rookie players, this period is easy to pass.

The big family, sure enough, none of them are good things! Jiang Yun grinned and gasped, quite helpless about the old man's insidiousness. Lu Qian didn't care, thought for a moment, raised his hand and marched three into one, Jiang Yun simply cannon 8 flat seven because he lost his horse, and stared at the old man's little soldiers. Lu Qian stared at the chessboard and thought for a long time, and played a phase three into five to save the pawn. Jiang Yun was not to be outdone, and immediately cannon 2 to 5, and gave him a head shot.

Lu Qian fell into thinking for a while again, hesitated slightly, and the horse entered the third to protect the little soldier. The two of you went back and forth, and officially started a frontal fight.

As the battle deepened, the effect of Lu Qian's previous chess change gradually became apparent. Jiang Yun lost his two horses, relying only on artillery, the car could not organize a three-dimensional effective offensive, the offensive means were extremely monotonous, although Lu Qian defended quite hard, but he did not let Jiang Yun take much advantage, and the two unknowingly entered the middle game.

The battle situation is gradually stalemate, Jiang Yun is okay, he has a set of conventional methods in his heart, basically he doesn't need to think about it, just test his instinct. It was Lu Qian, who spent more and more time thinking about each step. The charm of chess lies in this kind of calculation that comes and goes, this kind of thinking is actually a form of enjoyment of chess, Jiang Yun does not bother, and waits patiently.

Before Jiang Yun had been planning for a long time, and the general's killing move to draw the car was about to begin, Lu Qian once again fell into a long thought. At this moment, Lu Xun came. She saw the two people nested in the pavilion from afar, walked around the lotus pond, and walked up. "It's time for dinner, everyone is waiting, you two are better, how about shrinking the game?"

Lu Qian took care of his granddaughter very rarely, he didn't raise his head, and he blended into the chessboard wholeheartedly. Jiang Yun quietly glanced at Lu Xun, she stood quietly aside, looked down at the chessboard, this glance, she couldn't take her eyes off it, her eyes were full of curiosity, and she carefully looked at each chess piece.

"Xiaoyun." Lu Qian finally raised his head and said with a puzzled expression: "Although I don't see any problems, I always feel that you seem to be holding back." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yun was stunned and said, "You can see it?" ”

"Nope." Lu Qian shook his head and said truthfully: "Chess is like a battlefield, if the leading general is an experienced person, when he is about to fall into the trap of the enemy, there will always be some ominous premonitions in his heart, and the same is true after playing chess for a long time. The old man has a hunch that you are digging a trap, and there will be a killing move within a few steps, but now I can't see it anyway, so I wonder. ”

Jiang Yun smiled. "Go down and find out."

Lu Qian nodded, the general stepped forward, and took a more conservative step, Jiang Yun moved the cannon, Lu Qian thought about it for a while, and had no choice but to get off the corporal, Jiang Yun immediately raised his hand and crossed the car, General! Lu Qian had no choice but to sergeant again. Jiang Yun moved the car away in the blink of an eye and put it directly in front of the red car. "General!"

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, then twisted his beard and smiled: "Sure enough!" And so it was! On the surface, he killed the king, but in fact he went to the old car, and the victory or defeat was between the virtual and the real, what a chess, it was really wonderfully tight, and it was interestingly tight! From the perspective of old decay, it is inappropriate to call this chess, but if it is called war chess or war chess, it is appropriate! Okay, okay, this game is lost, let's have another game. ”

Jiang Yun said casually: "You have the final say, then it is called war chess." But it's dinner time, should we go to dinner first? Everyone is waiting. Besides, it was already dark, and it couldn't go down. ”

"Don't! The old decay is on the rise, why not go down? Xun'er, you go and tell them that they can use it for themselves first, and they don't have to wait for old age. In addition, light a bright candle for the old decay, and I want to fight with Xiaoyun at night! ”

Don't! In this cold winter, you are still fighting at night, are you kidding me? Jiang Yun couldn't help but look at Lu Xun: "You also persuade the old man!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xun walked to Jiang Yun's side, bent down, twisted his buttocks slightly, and sat on the stone bench that belonged to him after Jiang Yun was pushed away, and said with a smile: "Let him go, Xun'er will accompany grandpa." ”

"Oh, it's rare! On weekdays, I want you to play a game with the old decay, and you always shirk everything, which is more difficult than asking for your life, why did you change your personality today? ”

"It's fun, I like it when I look at it. Come, grandpa, you teach me how to fall, let's fight for three hundred rounds. By the way, husband, you can go by yourself, and leave us alone. ”

“。。。” (To be continued.) )
