Xia Cheng walked over to our general's side, ready to reopen the third guard

But just when everything was ready and the east wind was missing, my head suddenly ached...

My mind was once again taken away from this time and space, as if I had traveled through a tunnel of time, and the transformation of space prevented me from opening my eyes, but I felt the light in front of me getting closer and closer, until the familiar words appeared in my ears again.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

When I opened my eyes, the scene in front of me had appeared in my mind many times, and each time the scene was exactly the same, from the chessboard in front of me, the chess pieces scattered on it, to the furniture display in the house, all kinds of decorations, exactly the same.

The middle-aged man in front of him, still with a serious face and not smiling, was wearing a striped shirt and a mechanical watch in his right hand.

……

Dreamland...

Reality...

……

Reality...

Dreamland...

……

……

All the definitions come from people's own hearts. I looked at everything familiar in front of me, what did this dream tell me? Let me understand, or let me forget.

"Kid, what are you thinking, remember that all you have in mind is the game right now." The middle-aged man in front of him had a deep and powerful voice.

yes, I'm in the middle of a puzzle right now, and I should forget everything and concentrate on it.

I closed my eyes, and although I was in the middle of a chess game, I didn't feel the tension of the game at all, and all I could hear was the sound of the chess pieces hitting the board, crisp and powerful.

But at this point, my mind is not concerned about the game in front of me. It is the battle of the three generals of Mr. Ouyang Yu. We've found a way to crack it, but I always feel like we're missing something. Before we could think about the details, my head started to hurt.

Battle of Dingjun Mountain.

Battle of Nagasaka Slope.

Battle of Bowangpo.

What exactly have we forgotten? It seems to be a seamless answer, but I always feel that there is something wrong. My thoughts began to slow down, and I felt a little tired.

All conjectures are denied by themselves, and all the details are reproduced in the mind, but there is no clue.

"Good." The middle-aged man began to sort out the chessboard, "Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was very good at this hand, and then I played more and more calmly." ”

I didn't open my eyes, but I could feel the middle-aged man's affirmation of me. I heard the sound of the chessboard being arranged. It looks like the game is over.

But I didn't leave the dream. At least my mind is still in this moment.

Wait, I suddenly remembered the middle-aged man's words: although I was in a bit of a hurry. My mind was racing again, and I seemed to know what we were missing. My head began to ache again, and my thoughts took my mind out of time and space again.

"Everybody ready!! Third Guard!! Begin!!! Xia Cheng pressed hard with both hands on the start button.

The entire exhibition hall resounded with a deafening drum beat. There is a thunderous momentum.

Everyone had a look of imminence, as if nothing could stop us any longer.

"Wait!! Wait!!! Wrong!!! It's all wrong!! "I hurried to stop everything in front of me, but there seemed to be no hope. The other party's Xiahoudun had already come with a gun.

"What's wrong? Cheng Yin. What's wrong? All wrong? Cui Li looked at me puzzled.

"Damn! It's just too late. I ignored Cui Li's question, just muttered to myself.

"What's too late? Haven't we sent a military commander yet? Lin Yun also asked suspiciously.

At this time, the opponent's Xiahoudun had already arrived in the center of the competition hall and shouted: "Where is the enemy general?" Come and fight me for thirty rounds. ”

Cui Li stood behind Liu Bei and was at a loss for a moment: "Xia Cheng, do you want to send Liu Bei to fight?" ”

"Cheng Yin! What the hell is going on? Did we misunderstand?" Xia Cheng picked up the paper from the previous arrangement. It is clearly written on the paper:

Option 1:

Our:

General Zhao - spear, force 100.

General Huang - Jin Gong, force 89.

General Liu - Double Swords, Force 78.

Enemy:

General En - Short Sword, Armed Forces 101.

General Tun - spear, armed force 99.

General Yuan - Broadsword, Armed Forces 89.

Option 2:

Battle of Dingjun Mountain: Huang Zhong defeats Xiahou Yuan.

Battle of Changbanpo: Zhao Yun defeats Xiahou Yuan.

Battle of Bowangpo: Liu Bei defeats Xiahoudun.

"We were wrong, we were wrong." I repeat these words, and the pain in my heart is known only to me.

Xia Houdun on the test field shouted again: "Where is the enemy general?" Come and fight me for thirty rounds. ”

This voice is like when the exam is about to end, the teacher always says, "The exam is almost over, check your paper again." "Same. It makes people nervous.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

I kept asking myself, hoping to find a good solution, but I knew that all I could do now was ask questions, but I couldn't get answers.

If I had thought earlier, maybe we would have had a chance, but now that Xia Cheng pressed the start button, we had lost our last hope.

Now we can't change anything but wait for the end of the test. I slowly walked to the edge of the exhibition hall. I closed my eyes and hoped that this competition would end sooner.

"Cheng Yin!! Have you given up? Xia Cheng yelled angrily, "Maybe we have something negligent, but the test is not over yet!! Do you want to give up? Everyone here is working hard for this test, including you, of course, but now that you encounter difficulties, do you give up!! ”

Xia Cheng's words suddenly woke me up, yes, did I give up like this? We may fail, but at least we should try harder.

"Xia Cheng, you're right, the test isn't over yet, and we can't give up yet." I seem to feel the fighting spirit.

"What's wrong? Cheng Yin, are we mistaken? Zhao Yuyu asked again.

"Yes, we did neglect a little, and if we continue to compete like this, we may not be able to win." My voice was deep and powerful.

"What are we overlooking? Why can't you win? Cui Li asked anxiously.

We always think that we have found a way, but in fact we forget the most essential problem.
