"It's going to go down a little bit." The senior sister has returned to her former ice and jade.

Here Wen Xu is chatting with his senior sister, and the fat boy who just played chess opposite is also chatting with his classmates.

"Chubby, are you leaving?" The skinny boy next to the fat man asked.

"Why don't you go somewhere else first, and I'll play a few more plates." The fat man said simply.

"Okay, then I'll go first, I'll see you in the dormitory." The boy waved his hand and turned away.

The senior sister did not continue to play chess, but stood up, tall and tall, graceful and graceful.

"Come on." After the senior sister finished speaking, she turned around and went to the next table.

There were two girls at the next table who were playing backgammon, and when they saw the senior sister walking over, they all showed envious eyes.

There are four small tables in the field, in addition to the table in front of Wen Xu, there is also the table next door that is playing backgammon, and there is also a table playing military chess and Go.

Just from the number of onlookers, it can be seen that chess is the most popular, backgammon is more popular with girls, there are two people playing Go, but there are only two bystanders, and as for military chess, no one is playing.

Seeing that there was an empty position on the chess side, and no one went up for a short time, Wen Xu sat down, "Can I play?" ”

The fat man on the opposite side was also very happy when he saw someone coming to play chess: "Come on, let's play." ”

Wen Xu holds the black square, and the fat man holds the red square.

The formation of Xiangqi is closely related to the "Chu-Han rivalry" in the last years of the Qin Dynasty. The chess pieces are divided into two colors, red and black, the handsome side is red, and the general side is black, commonly known as "red handsome black general".

When Xiangqi was first formed, people generally regarded the red shuai as Liu Bang and the black general as Xiang Yu, that is, the red side represented Liu Bang's army, and the black side represented Xiang's army. It is rumored that Liu Bang led the rebel army to revolt in Mangdang Mountain, and personally killed a big white snake on the mountain, which is the story of "Gaozu Cutting the Snake" that has been circulated among the people for a long time. Legend has it that after Liu Bang beheaded the big white snake to death, an old woman cried and came up to the mountain, saying that his son was the son of the White Emperor, and turned into a white snake to go up the mountain to play, and was killed by the son of the Red Emperor, and she was very sad. After saying that, the old woman disappeared, and this story meant that the Qin Dynasty at that time was about to be replaced by a new dynasty. Since the killing of the White Snake, Liu Bang has claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor, and he is very fond of red, and even the banner in the army has been changed to red.

And Xiang Yu likes black, the clothes he wears and the drape are all black, and even the bird and war horse he rides are all black. "Red handsome black general" probably comes from this.

By the way, there is a popular saying that has been passed down for many generations at the beginning of chess: "Red comes first and black comes later, and it doesn't stink if you lose." "It's also culturally diverse. It also originates from the Battle of Chu and Han. In 205 BC, the Han soldiers took the lead in attacking Chu, which opened the prelude to the "Central Plains Competition", resulting in the confrontation between the red and black armies of Guangwu Mountain; When Chu and Han met to "divide the world into the divide", it was the Han soldiers who took the lead in attacking, and finally annihilated the Chu army under the wall, completely leaving an extremely heroic and extremely important scene for history. Therefore, it is reflected in the chess game to form the saying "red first black later".

"Cannon two flat five." The fat man started with a headshot.

The head artillery in the secret of the orange is like this: "The cannon is in the middle palace, more powerful than the bureaus, the horse is always guarding the pawn, the sergeant general is air defense, like the car to protect each other, the pawn should attack left and right, if the cannon is close to the enemy, the horse goes out to cross the river."

When the head cannon layout is usually regarded as a martial move, directly threatening the opponent's pawn, the offensive intention is very obvious.

"Horse 8 into 7." Wen Xu didn't drag the mud and water, and directly supported the horse.

"Horse two into three." The fat man then got into the horse and wanted to get out of the car and attack quickly.

"Horse 2 into 3." For the fat man's head cannon, Wen Xu used a screen horse to play a game.

Compared with the layout of the head gun, the screen horse layout is introverted but flexible, based on defense to launch a counterattack, like a screen. Many people use screen horses to deal with the middle artillery, which is the mainstream layout to deal with the middle artillery. Even, in the Qing Dynasty Wang Zaiyue's "Plum Blossom Spectrum", he also put forward the argument that the screen horse must break the first cannon. Although the rhetoric is excessive, the layout of the medium artillery is compared to the screen horse layout, although the offensive is fierce, but the defense is insufficient.
