Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

The roads in Shu are dangerous, and it is indeed difficult to transport grain and grass. If the war with Eastern Wu continues, I'm afraid it is not very beneficial to Shu, Jingzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, Jingzhou seven counties, Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, was divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. Lü Meng once crossed the river to attack Jingzhou, causing Liu Bei to lose Jingzhou and lose such an important place for soldiers to fight, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Shu. Therefore, it is so important to recover Jingzhou again, but if you want to reach Jingzhou, you must first open the Yi Road. Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army was heading towards Yiling. The place where the two armies faced each other was undoubtedly Yiling.

As I left the tent, I looked at the clouds in the distance, and I didn't know what would happen when our army arrived at Yiling, and I didn't know what was going to happen.

"Liu Bei is really able to resist the 100,000 soldiers of Eastern Wu?" Professor Twie asked.

"That's right, I don't have to be afraid of the 100,000 soldiers of Eastern Wu, but once Lu Xun takes military power, then everything is difficult to say." My voice was low.

"That's... That land... Lu Xun is so powerful... Awesome for... Why Sun... Sun Quan didn't send him immediately... He's coming? Hu Zaide still has an intermittent voice.

"Sun Quan has his own concerns, if Lu Xun leads the troops unfavorably, then it is very likely that the army will be defeated, and the Eastern Wu established by Sun Jian and Sun Ce will be in vain, of course Sun Quan does not want to see that time, so every move he makes now is well thought." I paused, and then continued: "However, when he can't make a choice anymore, it is very likely that Lu Xun, who is a scholar, will be used. By that time, if Yiling City had not been breached, Shu County would have been defeated. ”

"That's... That... How... What to do? I... We can also... Can I go back... Go back."

"In other words, if we haven't breached Yiling City by then, we won't be able to pass through this strange formation, then we will..."

"Maybe..."I'm not sure yet, but as things stand, it should be so.

"So what do we do now? It seems that Liu Bei has made up his mind to attack the 100,000 troops of Eastern Wu first, so that he can no longer send troops to attack Yiling City. "Professor Wu and I share the same ideas.

"In that case, let's go to Yiling with the army first, and we can only make another plan when the time comes." There was some helplessness in my words.

"What sound ???" The voice from before came back to my head.

That's right, it's the sound of the pieces crashing.

Ever since I came to this strange formation, my head has always ached. The familiar words that could not be more familiar appeared in the ears again.

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

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of me, I always felt so familiar when I looked closely, but I kept searching in my memory, but there was no answer. Could it be that this middle-aged man has anything to do with this strange array? While I was thinking, the chess game in front of me was still unfolding as before.

"Kid, what are you thinking, remember that all you have in mind is the game right now." The man's voice was deep and powerful.

I looked at him closely, and I was suddenly surprised to find that the middle-aged man was wearing a wooden necklace around his neck, and the word 'Shu' was clearly engraved on it!!

What the hell is going on, sure enough, this middle-aged man and this strange array must be inextricably linked

"Good." The 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 watched him move the pieces quickly.

"Sure enough, three-and-a-half, you won. By the way, how many games have you won since you learned? ”

I didn't speak. I just feel that all of this is so familiar, and it makes people feel very warm. It's a warm feeling, like a fire in winter. It's not just the cold winter of the night that illuminates it, it's our hearts and minds for each other.

"Remember children, life is like chess, and strategizing can win a thousand miles!"

My mind came back to me, and Professor Wu was standing beside me.

"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you in front of you? Is there anything uncomfortable? Professor Wu asked.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." The previous dream still seems to be in front of us. "I'll just rest for a while."

I left Professor Wu and walked around the army alone, surrounded by soldiers who were obviously different from yesterday and preparing for the movement of the army. It seems that the deployment of the army is already in full swing. The army is about to march on the line, and there is still a lot to prepare.

"I heard that Soochow has sent troops again."

"But no, I heard that Dongwu raised 100,000 troops."

"What? Lakh? So much? ”

"It seems that there will be a big battle in Shu and Wu this time."

"yes."

The soldiers in the army chatted with each other. I walked around the army and didn't see it, Wu Ban, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan. I wanted to ask them what else was written in yesterday's letter.

But now I'm afraid that these three people have already rushed to the Yiling military camp. As I walked, the sky grew dark, and tomorrow morning was the time for the army to set out.

In the early morning, as soon as the sun illuminated the earth, the army began to march. I followed the army towards Yiling. The scenery around you changes very quickly along the way. It's like I'm walking back in time.

"It seems that the speed at which we move has also been specially set." Professor Wu appeared next to me.

"We're not here at the same time as the real time. Although it may seem like a few days and nights have passed, it may have been half an hour. It seems that there must be some principle in the setting of this odd array that we don't know yet. "I felt like I was walking faster and faster, but I knew very well that it was just an illusion from the surroundings, but I was still walking at the same speed as usual.

"The acceleration of optics, the feeling of light, makes people feel that their speed has become faster, just like the time tunnel gives people the feeling that there is always a flow of lines. Actually, it's just a visual effect. Professor Wu looked into the distance. For a while, the day and night changed: "Look ahead, we are almost at the Yiling military camp." ”

I looked ahead, and the flag of Shu was tumbling in the air. Sure enough, we have arrived at the Shu army camp in Yiling. From a long distance, you can see that there is already a large group of people in front of you to escort you. At the front is none other than Wu Ban.
