The next morning,

"This one you see is called war chess," a group of new instructors gathered in front of a huge sand table, on which were densely packed with chess pieces, and the chief instructor Song Jianjun loudly introduced to these new officers: "This is a chess piece used to deduce changes in the battlefield." In the future, you may have to enter the general staff of the new army, and the staff officers of our new army use this kind of war chess to deduce possible changes on the battlefield. The General Staff makes a judgment on the situation based on deduction and makes recommendations to the generals. ”

Song Jianjun pointed to the huge chart hanging on the wall, on which were written in detail many dizzying battle flag rules, which Song Jianjun introduced as tools used to simulate the battlefield.

"You don't understand just listening to me, now let's play this kind of chess." Song Jianjun looked around the room full of officers: "Which of you will try it with me?" ”

Many instructors look at me and I look at you, and none of them speak. After a little hesitation, Xu Ping stood up and said, "My lord, I want to give it a try." ”

"Good!" Song Jianjun looked at the newborn calf, rubbed his hands excitedly, and shouted: "Let's use the battle of Nanguan." ”

This was a battle that took place a few decades ago between the Immortal Army and the Later Jin Army, and ended in a narrow victory for the Immortal Army.

"There is basically no weather problem in this war, and the terrain is not too complicated, so it should not be too difficult for us to come the first time." Song Jianjun looked at Xu Ping with a smile: "Your name is Xu Ping, right?" Does Instructor Xu want to use the Immortal Army, or build slaves? ”

"The Immortals."

Several other veteran instructors quickly set up the sand table, Song Jianjun completed his round without thinking, and the Houjin army on the chessboard quickly pressed towards Xu Ping's battle line. Song Jianjun explained to everyone the mobility of the chess pieces and the influence of the terrain while playing chess, and poured out all his tactical ideas in front of Xu Ping. Xu Ping silently listened to the other party's idea, his eyes kept on the huge sand table, and after pondering for a long time, he finally began to move the chess pieces slowly.

After moving two steps, Xu Pingcai picked up another chess piece, and heard Song Jianjun laugh: "Be careful, Instructor Xu, I was in this team back then." ”

I don't know how long it was, but all that was left in the room was the sound of heavy breathing. The referee took away the chess pieces of Xu Ping's two teams that were heavily surrounded, as well as a golden chess piece identified as the internal guard.

"Master Hou, his old man......" Song Jianjun deliberately let out a deep sigh, and then laughed again: "Okay, can you understand?" ”

"Understood."

"Understood."

The young officers in the room nodded their heads. From the beginning to the end of this game, Xu Ping was suppressed by Song Jianjun's fierce offensive, and in the end, Song Jianjun successfully rewrote history and wiped out the Ming army, which was supposed to win.

"Who else?" Song Jianjun began to look around the room again, his gaze swept over the faces of these new officers: "Who will try again?" ”

In the middle of the sound, no one in the room accosted, Song Jianjun turned around and looked at another senior instructor, Dugu: "Let's have a show for them." ”

"Yes, sir." Dugu Qiu nodded lightly and walked towards the opposite position of Song Jianjun.

"Your Excellency." Xu Ping, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly broke the silence in the room, and he raised his head from the sand table to look at Song Jianjun: "Can you try again?" ”

"Okay." Song Jianjun smiled and said, "Does Instructor Xu still want the Immortal Army this time?" ”

"No," Xu Ping shook his head and said, "I want to try Jiannu." ”

"Yes," Song Jianjun waved his hand: "Quickly set up the sand table." ”

Xu Ping recalled the number of roads Song Jianjun had just taken, and carefully commanded Houjin's army, and after a few rounds, the changes on the chessboard gradually followed the footsteps of history. Song Jianjun didn't even bother to pay attention to Xu Ping's flank outflanking, and directly threw the reserves into the middle, just like the Battle of Nanguan in history, and simply opened the middle of Houjin. Then, Song Jianjun divided the only cavalry of the Ming army into two, one team bit Xu Ping's left flank to prevent them from leaving the battlefield, and the other team ran to their rear.

Xu Ping raised his head: "Instructor Song, just the day before yesterday, when you talked about the Battle of Nanguan, you said that Hou Ye was going to pursue Jiannu Zhenglan at this time, and you also said that this is the only correct response, and you can't give Jiannu a chance to regroup." ”

"You're right. But I'm not the Hou Ye, I'm just greedy and cheap to eat your left wing. Song Jianjun smiled slyly: "Instructor Xu, although let the horse come, don't be polite." ”

Xu Ping lowered his head and looked at the sand table carefully, he quickly adjusted the troops on the left flank into a circle formation for defense, and then accelerated the pace of the right flank to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army's general flag.

When Xu Ping was deployed, Song Jianjun couldn't help but explain to the officers around him: "On the real battlefield, it is impossible to look at the overall situation like Instructor Xu. The communication on the battlefield is all based on the banner, and it is actually impossible to cooperate with Instructor Xu across the Ming army brigade. Therefore, no matter how detailed the regulations are, war chess cannot be compared with actual combat on the battlefield. ”

"Your turn, my lord." As he spoke, Xu Ping had already completed the last step.

"Okay." Song Jianjun lowered his head and began to move quickly, and kept talking: "Of course, it was impossible to see Jiannu's movements clearly like I did back then, let alone see which army was about to collapse and which army was still in good condition. But you must develop a sense of war chess, and know under what circumstances the army will be dangerous, under what circumstances it should be defensive, and under what circumstances it should attack......"

Time passed quickly in the battle and Song Jianjun's explanation.

"It's really an honor to be able to hold a spear and stand in front of Master Hou in person!" Song Jianjun smiled and raised the chess piece that represented the team he was a member of the year, placed it heavily on the flag of the Ming Army, and covered it on the golden chess piece of the Internal Guard, making a crisp sound of "pop": "Instructor Xu, it's your turn." ”

The cavalry of the Later Jin had been forced to the front of the Ming army, but Xu Ping's left flank had long ceased to exist, and the Chinese army that had been reorganized several times had also been defeated by Song Jianjun, and now these cavalry on the right flank were all he had. The chess pieces representing the pikemen and musketeers were densely packed in front of the Houjin army, and the Ming army's deeply recessed front wrapped the last Houjin cavalry in the middle, and it was seen that it formed a circle behind their flanks.

The Houjin troops commanded by Xu Ping fought hard all the way to the front of the Ming army's general banner, and all the units had already suffered heavy losses and huge losses. Some of the Houjin chess pieces concentrated next to the Ming army's general banner were on the verge of collapse, and even Huang Taiji's team of white armor was also hit hard. The subsequent counterattack of a large number of Ming troops could immediately wipe them off the chessboard.

"You don't have to go any further, do you?" Seeing Xu Ping's thinking hard, Song Jianjun asked with a smile.

After Xu Ping admitted defeat, Song Jianjun looked at the sky, and it was already time to play the exercise: "All the gentlemen should understand, in the future, you will have to learn the battle examples through war chess." That's all for today. ”

After announcing the disbandment, the people in the house began to disperse, and Xu Ping was still staring at the sand table and thinking. At this time, a veteran who had always been listening from the side came over and said to Song Jianjun: "Very good, Instructor Song." ”

Song Jianjun saluted the old general: "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for complimenting." ”

The general surnamed Zhang then turned to Xu Ping again: "Instructor Xu, I have heard about you, and Lord He has praised you." ”

Xu Ping learned Song Jianjun's words: "Thank you for your praise." ”

"General Zhang Chengye," the officer reported his name: "Instructor Xu played a good game of chess." ”

"General Zhang praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to take his position."

Zhang Chengye just smiled, and Song Jianjun behind him also smiled at Xu Ping, and said: "I have taught many newcomers, but they are all pushing, and no newcomer has ever dared to come out to challenge me." ”

"As a general, he dared to command the Dongsen battalion, didn't he even have the courage to stand up and play chess? Then I'm going to wonder what your teaching team is teaching! Zhang Chengye turned around and reproached Song Jianjun twice, and then turned back to look Xu Ping up and down: "I will need talented staff officers and officers to help me, Instructor Xu will learn from Instructor Song, and I may want you to contribute to me in the future." ”

After leaving the camp of the teaching team, Xu Ping hurriedly went to the Zhiwei military camp to find Jin Shentong, and when he arrived, it had already passed the agreed hour, and Jin Shentong was obviously impatient: "Brother Xu, it's so late." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Jin Haihan." Xu Ping briefly talked about today's events, first of all, the war chess deduction he had just learned.

"Instructor Song is right, the war chess deduction can allow us to turn a lot of battlefield knowledge into something like intuition. Let's go into the city, talking as we go. ”

Today, instead of wearing his dazzling red guard uniform, Jin Shentong changed into a black uniform, which is the uniform of military judges in the new army. He explained that the military uniform of the direct guard is too ostentatious, and the Zhao Mansion is at a funeral recently, so it is not appropriate to wear a bright red outfit: "Sometimes when I go out with friends, it is quite good to wear this military uniform, and the judges in the army are like tigers, and no one dares to look at them twice." If you put the mask down again, you don't have to worry about identity leakage. ”

These words made Xu Ping a little strange, and he didn't know which military camp Jin Shentong would worry about identity leakage when he went to the new army, and what did it matter if it was leaked. Maybe it's because Jin Shentong sometimes goes to casinos and other places for fun? Now the Beijing division is surrounded by new officers and soldiers, of course, there are other Beijing battalions, but those officers and soldiers can also identify the official position of the new army, Jin Shentong naturally does not want anyone to recognize his military position, or any rumors to spread to his direct guards. But...... However, if a military judge is seen coming, will the new soldiers who are gambling still have the heart to continue their pastime? In addition, the judges of the new army are not recognized by their relatives and have a lot of nosy opinions, even the soldiers of other Beijing battalions are often coldly questioned, and they will definitely report to the officers and men of the Beijing camp when they find problems, so the officers and men of the Beijing camp and the ruffians near the Beijing division are very afraid of them, and they often flee in all directions as soon as they see the new army judges in black uniforms.

Jin Shentong told this Xu Ping that this chess was also invented and perfected by Zhendong Hou, and he himself grew up playing this chess when he was a child: "Brother Xu doesn't have to be sad, Instructor Song has taught so many students, and he has long played war chess perfectly, I think even Hou Ye may not be able to play him." ”

After chatting for a while, Xu Ping asked, "I don't know what the teaching team will teach in the future?" ”

"There's nothing left, for the staff officers and officers, war chess is the most important training, even if it is promoted from President Qian to the teaching team for training, that's all you learn. It is great that the training team can make the non-commissioned officers familiar with the regulations and let the officers experience the combat examples, and no amount of them can be learned in the training team. After a while, Jin Shentong let out an "ah" again, and suddenly mentioned something: "By the way, I once heard Jia Yan say that in addition to war chess, Hou Ye also found them and compiled a military book together, what is it called "The Source of Battle", yes, that's the name." ”

"Oh?" Xu Ping became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Jin, do you know what this military book is about?" When will it be read to the teaching team? ”

"I don't know about this, and it's not Jia Yan who participates alone, I heard that Lord Zhao, Lord He, and Lord Yang are all involved, and they are not the only ones, but of course it was written by Lord Hou, and I heard that Lord Hou wrote it for more than ten years before it was written." Jin Shentong's face had a look of fascination, he thought for a while and shook his head: "I really can't guess, I also asked Jia Yan and General He, and they all told me at that time; You can't learn this thing now, and it's useless to learn it. This "Source of Battle" must be the art of war treasured by Hou Ye. ”

Seeing the regretful expression on Xu Ping's face, Jin Shentong comforted him again: "Don't hide it from Brother Xu, I also mentioned this book to the young marquis." The young marquis also went to ask the marquis, but the marquis replied at that time; The book isn't ready, and you don't need it yet. This book is not very useful for battle formations, and when you can use it, I will naturally give it to you. I heard that the manuscript of this book was placed in the study, and I suggested that the young marquis take it out quietly and read it, but the young marquis refused to say anything. ”

"A military book with the word 'conquest' in its name, how can it be of little use for conquest?" Xu Ping was very skeptical of this statement: "If it's not useful, why bother making it up?" ”

"I don't know about this, Brother Xu, you go to the chaos, maybe the Hou Ye will fall in love with Brother Xu at a glance and pass it on to you." Jin Shentong joked: "At that time, Brother Xu couldn't hide his secrets, so he would definitely lend it to me." ”

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, and after a while, they entered the city and came to the gate of Zhao's mansion, and today Xu Ping could find a helmet with cheek guards, so that even if he didn't take off his armor, his face was deeply hidden behind the helmet. In order to make it difficult for others to identify the body type, Xu Ping also put on the cuirass of the deputy cavalry. Despite such painstaking preparations, after dismounting in front of the Zhao Mansion, Xu Ping was still very nervous in his heart, for fear that the porter would recognize him. When the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion came to lead the horse, Xu Ping hurriedly lowered his head, and as soon as his footsteps were slow, he fell two meters behind Jin Shentong, looking like an entourage.

Jin Shentong handed a prayer note to the gatehouse: "Trouble to inform the house, Jin Shentong will see you." He gestured to Xu Ping to the porter with his eyes: "This is Xu Ping, a friend of the next, begging to see the house together." ”

The porter seemed to be very familiar with Jin Shentong, and said while taking the post: "General Jin is polite, please come in, Madam will definitely be happy." ”

Jin Shentong had already put away his usual proud color, stood in place and bowed and said, "Please send the prayer post in." ”

"Yes, General Jin, please wait."

After the porter entered, Jin Shentong whispered to Xu Ping: "Brother Xu, Lord Zhao is from the same state in Shaanxi, and he is still the in-law of the Hou Ye, so you must not be rude." ”

Seeing Xu Ping's dazed expression, Jin Shentong's face was full of different colors: "Brother Xu doesn't know about this? ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Hou Ye's Yue family, isn't it from Guangning, Liaodong?" ”

The expression on Jin Shentong's face became even more strange: "Brother Xu, Hou Ye's brother-in-law is from Shaanxi and moved to Liaodong, and Lord Zhao is the same generation as Hou Ye's brother-in-law. ”

"Ahh It turned out that Hou Ye's father-in-law family was a Shaanxi family. ”

"That's right, even in the private message from Master Hou to Lord Zhao, you have to call Brother Ren." Jin Shentong was obviously very surprised that Xu Ping was so ignorant.

"Oh, oh." Xu Ping was speechless, and could only secretly remember it in his heart.

At this time, the porter of the Zhao Mansion who went in to report walked out again, bowed down and made a "please" action: "Two distinguished guests, please come in." ”

Jin Shentong thanked him, and then strode into the gate, Xu Ping followed closely behind him with his head down, and no one at the door paid attention to him. found that he was not recognized, and Xu Ping fell to the ground with a stone in his heart. When he finally dared to raise his head, he saw Jin Shentong looking back at him, and the expression on his face looked a little puzzled.

The steward of the Zhao Mansion led the two of them through the front hall and to the door of the flower hall: "Two of you, please have tea in the flower hall first, and the lady will come out immediately." ”

"Got it."

"Thank you."

Jin Shentong looked very casual, and sat down on the chair in the flower hall generously, took off his helmet and set it aside, and then untied his cloak and handed it to the servants in the hall. Xu Ping was sitting on the chair opposite Jin Shentong, still draped all over.

Seeing that Xu Ping was so restrained, Jin Shentong smiled and said, "Brother Xu, take off your helmet." ”

"Okay." Xu Ping answered, but did not move.

After a while, someone from Zhao's mansion served tea, Xu Ping peeked at it, it seemed that it was not the person who stood outside the door that day, and his heart was more relaxed, and he picked up the tea bowl in the appearance of Jin Shentong.

Xu Ping prepared the rhetoric over and over again beforehand, but when it came to the end, he found that none of the sentences he had thought about was good, and he just blew into the tea bowl again and again, not knowing how to express his intentions.

Jin Shentong put the tea bowl back on the table and stared at Xu Ping, who couldn't stop blowing into the bowl.

Xu Ping asked, "Brother Jin, is there something wrong?" ”

Jin Shentong thought about it sideways, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

At this time, footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged woman in a black mourning dress stepped out of it.

Jin Shentong immediately stood up, bowed down and said, "Aunt Zhao." ”

Xu Ping had already put down the tea bowl and saluted together: "Mrs. Zhao." ”
