Lei Zhen still lost, he kept losing, obviously he learned more and more about Lu Zhanqi, and he also learned to control his body and not expose his inner thoughts to Xie Jinyuan, but I don't know why, he lost more and more badly, and lost faster and faster.

After two days of scorching fiascos and defeats, even Lei Zhen felt unbearable, Xie Jinyuan stopped again.

"Do you know why you lost?"

Lei Zhen shook his head vigorously, he could clearly feel that his chess strength was constantly improving, but Xie Jinyuan seemed to have opened his eyes to heaven, and almost every move he made could not escape Xie Jinyuan's calculations.

"Because of her!" Xie Jinyuan stretched out his hand and pointed at his wife Ling Weicheng, who was in charge of being the referee, and said in a deep voice: "You are already invulnerable, and you can no longer let me get any effective information from you, but don't forget, in addition to the chess pieces, there is also our referee!" Although she is obsessed with impartiality and does not quietly reveal anything to me, she does not control her expressions or her body language. As long as I look into her eyes, I can roughly guess what the chess piece in your hand is! ”

"Remember, the game of chess is a battle between square inches!" Xie Jinyuan stared at Lei Zhen, his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a deep and cold light, such a pair of eyes made Lei Zhen involuntarily think of cobras!

Xie Jinyuan said word by word: "An excellent commander must remember two sentences, know yourself and your opponent, and win all battles!" Knowing that it is easy to know, as long as you are not blindly arrogant, and do not be blinded by the aura of victory and people's flattery, any normal person, even if he does not admit it, can clearly know his advantages and disadvantages in his heart. But if you want to see each other clearly, you need to make adequate intelligence preparations. It is obviously very difficult to find enough intelligence and information from the core figures of the other party. At this time, as a commander, you must be proficient in various methods, through roundabout, sideways methods, slowly collect all kinds of information, until this information is sufficient, can form a completely transparent strategic comparison topographic map in your mind! You have to know clearly that in this world, luck and miracle will only favor those who are prepared! Famous generals who have won undefeated on the battlefield, they have always been the product of eight points of absolute hard work, one point of talent, and one point of luck! ”

"When the two of us set the chess pieces, we were evenly matched, and neither of us could have the upper hand before the official battle. But as soon as we move the chess pieces, the balance of victory will fall in my favor, because you are just staring down at your chess pieces, trying to attack or defend, but I am constantly collecting all kinds of information from the referee, analyzing and using it. After thirty steps, I can basically determine your strategic arrangement and the placement of each sub. In other words, the game between you and me, after thirty moves, may be roughly the same combat power on the chess pieces, but in my eyes, the overall situation has been decided! ”

Lei Zhen was listening silently, at this time, Lei Zhen really hated that he didn't know words, otherwise, he could have memorized every word Xie Jinyuan said on paper, and then slowly chewed them little by little, digested them repeatedly until they were integrated into his soul.

But Lei Zhen really didn't know, it was because he was illiterate and couldn't record these words on paper, but forced him to listen carefully with all his attention, and forced all his thinking and all his wisdom to be highly mobilized.

After saying these words, Xie Jinyuan sat there, quietly watching Lei Zhen's face slowly show a thoughtful expression, until Lei Zhen slowly exhaled a long breath, Xie Jinyuan slapped his palm, and after attracting Lei Zhen's attention, he smiled and said, "Let's have another game?" ”

Lei Zhen lost again, even if he kept staring at Ling Weicheng's face and trying to gather intelligence, he still failed miserably, defeated!

"Are you playing chess, or are you secretly looking at beautiful women? If this continues, I'm really going to be jealous as a husband! ”

Xie Jinyuan smiled: "Intelligence gathering is a very professional and quiet discipline. After the last game, I told the secret to winning, and you were listening, and my wife was listening. So at the beginning of this game, I didn't look at her face at all, let alone analyze her expression and eyes. Because as soon as she notices that we are looking at her, even if it is secretly, she remembers what I just said, and involuntarily becomes unnatural. In this case, her body language will become disordered, unable to effectively extract real information, and may even involve intelligence analysts in undeserved chaos. ”

"In this game, you are distracted by the expression on Wei Cheng's face that you can't extract any information at all. I put all my energy on the board, and in this game, from the very beginning, the two of us were not destined to be on the same starting line. Because the battle has not yet begun, you have been pulled into the wrong place by me with false information. You can't analyze the meaning of the various expressions on Ling Cheng's face, even if you are resolute, there is still depression and slight confusion, and you are the kind of person who is strong when you are strong, and will never admit defeat easily, let alone retreat easily. You'll just stare harder at Wei Cheng, making her expression more confused and her grasp of the game more out of control. How can you not fail in such a situation?! ”

Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice: "Remember, when confronting the enemy's commander, once you use effective rumors to successfully interfere with the opponent's intelligence system and judgment, and force the opponent to take care of one thing and lose the other, you have already held the right hand of the goddess of victory!" And the most effective rumors are definitely not to spread rumors at will, but to put correct information into the ears of inopportune people at inopportune times and in inopportune places. Of course, you can also be like a master of harmony, putting correct information and false rumors out in stages and echelons in any combination of ingredients and proportions. Form a network of interference information composed of points, lines, and planes, in this case, the commander of the other party, no matter how clever and wise, will fall into your well-designed [***] array! ”

Patting Lei Zhen's shoulder, Xie Jinyuan said indifferently: "But now I ask you to be able to analyze useful and correct information through other people's body language, it is indeed too difficult." If you want to do this, in fact, it is just a kind of release through the accumulation of ordinary life experience, and finally there is guidance. If you want to quickly have this kind of valuable ability, you can only see more, think more, analyze more, and learn more. In terms of age and experience, I think it is ...... to be able to keep learning and keep improving."

Facing Lei Zhen's eyes, Xie Jinyuan stretched out his hand to draw a number and said, "You still need at least five to seven years to slowly hone your mind and replenish your knowledge gap!" ”

Five to seven years?! Do you have to insist on learning and making continuous progress?!

Lei Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes, Xie Jinyuan just didn't fucking talk amazingly, it seemed that every day he didn't let Lei be shocked and surprised, and his eyes were round once, as if he was unhappy in his heart.

"You're not even twenty years old, are you?"

Xie Jinyuan smiled and said: "Five to seven years later, you are just a big boy about twenty-five years old, think about it, at such a young age, how many people can guess his intentions almost accurately just by a glance from others, or a slight instinctive movement?" If you really grasp this, then you are already open to the world, coupled with your extreme desire for victory, and the perseverance to never fight to the end of the mountains and rivers when you are strong, and never know you, you are a successful ...... It's a pawn across the river! ”

Lei Zhen was really stunned, he was not a stupid person, he already knew clearly that now Xie Jinyuan was teaching him, guiding him step by step, to understand the true way of war! After a long time, Lei Zhen stared at the elder in front of him with an encouraging smile on his face, and a warm current slowly surged from Lei Zhen's chest, you must know that every word Xie Jinyuan told him was the most valuable wealth that Xie Jinyuan had slowly accumulated on the battlefield by brushing shoulders with death again and again!

However, he had already rejected Xie Jinyuan's request to invite him to join the [***] army, but Xie Jinyuan continued to teach him. After a long time, Lei Zhen asked softly, "Why?" ”

"The swords of the world can be divided into three kinds. One is the sword of the Son of Heaven, the other is the sword of the princes, and the other is the sword of the husband. ”

"The sword of the Son of Heaven is the 'general' and 'handsome' who face each other far away on our chessboard, and when the sword of the Son of Heaven is waved, the ghost cries and cries. Lei Zhen, whether you or me, have too many scruples, too many principles, and too strong surnames, in this land, we are not qualified to wield the sword of the Son of Heaven! ”

"The sword of the princes, although the power is less than the sword of the sky, but under the swing, it can still reach a radius of hundreds of miles, and it has the power to kill ten thousand people."

"The sword of the puppet can reach within a radius of ten steps, and when swung, it can splash the enemy's blood in five steps! Kill 100 people, you can already be called the hero of the male! ”

Xie Jinyuan stared at Lei Zhen and asked word by word: "Lei Zhen, tell me, do you want to become the sword of the princes, or in this life, you can only become a sword of the horseman, which can only cover ten steps around you?!" ”

"At first, I just saw you as a puppet sword, and your bravery and cunning made me admire at best. I can tell you frankly that a person like you, who is armed with the sword of a puppet, at most, blooms an insignificant little splash on a local battlefield, and in the face of a major battle with millions of troops, no matter how heroic, good at fighting, and accurate marksmanship you are, you are just an insignificant supporting role! ”

Xie Jinyuan shouted loudly: "Don't forget your own pursuit of the chess game, you tried your best to let a pawn step on the corpse of his companion and rush across the Chu River Han Realm, isn't it just for the sentence 'The pawn who crosses the river is a chariot'?" The source of willpower that makes you strong when you are strong, isn't it that you want to make yourself stronger like the pawn who crossed the river?! ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to join [***] for the time being, even if you are disappointed in [***] in your life, and you will never consider our troops again, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you are a Chinese, and when you mature in the future, when you can finally transform into a Hou sword that can crisscross the battlefield and cover the power of a hundred miles like the pawn who crossed the river, the enemy in front of you will only be Yu himself, who may still be rampant on our land in a few years! Even for this reason, I, Xie Jinyuan, will do my best to help you with what I have learned and known! ”

Seeing Lei Zhen jump off the hospital bed and walk in front of him, as if he wanted to kneel down, Xie Jinyuan shouted: "Don't come to this set!" I, Xie Jinyuan, don't have the leisure to accept apprentices, and I don't need to rely on accepting apprentices to add weight to my career! As the saying goes, there is no before and after, and the one who achieves it comes first, who can guarantee that in the next five or ten years, the reputation and status you will break out in this land will not be ten or even a hundred times stronger than my Xie Jinyuan?! If you really thank me Xie Jinyuan, and are willing to treat me as a friend, but you are not willing to join our [***] army, then Lei Zhen, you listen to me, I want you to remember a few words! ”

Facing Lei Zhen's slightly red eyes, Xie Jinyuan said word by word: "Be loyal to the nation, be righteous to your friends, and be ruthless to your enemies!" ”

These twelve words Xie Jinyuan really said frankly, Lei Zhen bit his lip, and firmly engraved the twelve words that Xie Jinyuan taught him into the deepest part of his soul, until he lived in this life, it was impossible to forget it again, and then he said in a deep voice: "Okay!" ”

Xie Jinyuan stopped talking nonsense, slapped Lei Zhen's hospital bed hard, and said, "Then don't talk nonsense, come up and let's continue to play chess!" ”

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door of the ward. Lei Zhen, Xie Jinyuan, and Ling Weicheng turned their heads, and the woman who was smiling at them in a wheelchair through the unclosed door was not Ma Lan, who had just obtained the doctor's permission and was able to ventilate in the ward?

Two months have passed, and Ma Lan looks obviously thinner, and the hospital gown looks a little loose on her clothes. And her pair of water that were blown up by the grenade broke her thighs, which I don't know how many pieces of shrapnel had been embedded, and now there is still a heavy plaster cast on it, so she can only honestly put it in front of the wheelchair. But Ma Lan's eyes are still as sharp as an eagle's falcon, even if she was seriously injured like this, and almost died on the operating table several times, she is still the company commander of the special service battalion of the Central Teaching Brigade who has experienced a hundred battles and killed countless people!

Looking at the land chess made by Xie Jinyuan himself, Ma Lan said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I heard a little bit of your conversation just now. However, I personally think that it is not a good idea to use chess for recreational purposes to teach others military tactics. You know, chess is dead, its rules are even more dead, why do you enter the camp, and other troops can't attack? Moreover, China's current scientific, technological, economic, political, and military strength is far from reaching the level of the European and American countries and the United States. Besides, even if the number of troops is equal, considering the issues of weaponry, personnel training, psychological state, and quality, even if we don't admit it, we can't compare our troops with troops of the same level, right? ”

Xie Jinyuan looked at Ma Lan, these two professional soldiers who had both attended the Whampoa Military Academy and had listened to lectures by German instructors, and their eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of essence.

"But ......," Xie Jinyuan muttered, "Let's not say that the hospital doesn't allow us to do this, even if they don't interfere, we don't have the necessary materials in our hands." ”

"It's easy."

Ma Lan said: "The bed next door to the ward where I live has been empty, so we tried to lift the bed board to this room and flip it over, and it was a large wooden plate two meters long and seventy-five centimeters wide. As for the soil that must be used, it is even simpler, in the garden of the hospital, there is soil everywhere, dig a few sacks from it, let Lei Zhen break three ribs, and still be able to carry two people on his back, a perverted brute with hundreds of bullets from a submachine gun, just carry it back. By the way, there seem to be more than 20 green bamboos planted in the garden of the hospital, Lei Zhen, you can pull a few more of them from it, I will be useful. ”

Lei Zhen stared inexplicably, but Xie Jinyuan nodded excitedly, he looked at Ma Lan, and said, "I heard that the people of your Central Military Academy Teaching Brigade, especially the members of the special service battalion, are all top German instructors, professional soldiers who have been carefully trained in a few years. You are not only proficient in various special operations, but also have received systematic battlefield command studies? You can be said to be a famous teacher and a high apprentice, when it comes to the Central Teaching Brigade, which student who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy is not full of envy? ”

"Where, where."

Ma Lan politely replied: "We are just a group of recruits who are just talking on paper and are too well protected. Where can you compare to a veteran like you, who has been in a hundred battles and has rich experience in actual combat? I can't even tell how happy I am to be able to ask a real master like you for advice! ”

The two of them said kind words in their mouths, but for some reason, Lei Zhen just felt that behind the smile on their faces, a kind of murderous saber-rattling without hostility was becoming more and more intense.

"I've always been quite curious about the field of special operations, so how about I command two squadrons of the Japanese Army, plus two requests for air support, to deal with one of your special service companies on the mountain battlefield?"

"The regular army of the two squadrons of the army has a total of two squadron leaders, two executive officers, six sergeants, eight health officers, sixteen communicators, and six squadrons of fifty-four people. There were eighteen light machine guns, seventy-two self-defense pistols, one hundred and forty-four rifles, plus eighteen 50-millimeter grenadiers. ”

Casually saying that these details could not be more detailed, Ma Lan said lightly: "Purely in terms of fire suppression and frontal battlefield attrition, such two squadrons are already equal to a submachine gun in our hands, all equipped with self-defense pistols, as well as an M34 heavy machine gun and a special service company with gun grenades. But I must remind you that we are a special service company, a special forces force that specializes in infiltration, kidnapping, raiding, and sabotage, and we will never fight a pointless war of attrition with a large group of enemies head-on until the last moment. If we were to fight in the mountains, it would seem like that with only two squadrons of troops, we would be forced into a war of attrition...... It's not that much, right? ”

"Well, this kind of guerrilla tactic is indeed very difficult. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, there is also a tactical argument of 'ten rules to surround it, and multiple times to divide it', if two squadrons are gathered together and want to find you, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but once I disperse my forces, it is likely that you will break them one by one. If you want to pursue an elite force like you who are proficient in sports raid warfare in the mountains, two squadrons are indeed not enough. ”

Xie Jinyuan pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, I will lead two reinforced squadrons, in this case, in the eighteen squads of my two squadrons, there will be thirty-six more people and eighteen 50 mm caliber grenadiers." Moreover, elite troops like the special service company of your Central Military Academy Teaching Brigade are definitely not sent to the battlefield to play hide and seek with two squadrons of enemy troops, you will definitely have your own military tasks. So how about we set a military target on this battlefield that you must destroy, and we will fight a surprise attack and pursuit war around such a military target? ”

Malan smiled, "Good! ”

Xie Jinyuan and Ma Lan suddenly turned their heads together, looked at the inexplicable Lei Zhen, and shouted in unison: "Why don't you hurry up and move the bed board!" ”

Carrying the bed board that had been empty in the other ward to their room, when Lei Zhen went out to dig the soil, Xie Jinyuan suddenly thought of a question that was likely to be faced, "What if the hospital arranges another patient in your ward, and they track down the whereabouts of the bed board and ask us to return the bed board immediately?" ”

Ma Lan snorted softly: "I want to see who dares to share a room with me!" ”

Xie Jinyuan immediately closed his mouth, don't look at Ma Lan's broken two thighs, but as long as she is unwilling, it is estimated that there are really few people who dare to sleep in the same ward with her.

When bags of dirt were hidden under Ma Lan's wheelchair and carefully smuggled into the ward, Ma Lan and Xie Jinyuan dumped all the dirt inside the bed board that looked like a rectangular box. Then the two of them, like children, began to play with the mud.

(To be continued)
