We walked for a while in the direction of the main street, and then turned to a small path, passed the lotus pond, and walked past the stream pond. A chic courtyard appeared in front of us.

"Here we are, this is the day-play-chess-pavilion." Fang Shuran took out a folding fan and knocked on the gate of the courtyard a few times.

After a while, the door opened.

It was a young boy who came out, could it be that this person is Mo Qifeng, who has been a hero since ancient times.

"You are the master of the Tianxia Chess Pavilion--- Mo Qifeng?" The blacksmith asked in a deep voice.

"What are you looking for, my master? Please wait a moment again, and I'll let you know. The boy was about to turn and leave.

But was stopped by Fang Shuran with the fan in his hand: "I have known your master for many years, so I don't need these complicated etiquettes, I just went straight to him." Fang Shuran strode in front of the scholar and walked in the direction of the chess pavilion.

We also walked with him through the antechamber, which was not very large, but it was very chic, and there was a large pond with a huge stone slab on it.

After a while, we came to the door of the chess pavilion, we wanted to wait outside, Mo Qifeng may be specializing in the chess game, but Fang Shuran really didn't care, and pushed open the door of the chess pavilion and walked in.

"Mo Qifeng!! Where are you? Get out quickly. Fang Shuran shouted.

Suddenly, a man flashed and threw a stone at us. When I blocked it with my hands, I realized that these were not stones, but pieces of Go.

A man's voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "Who do I think it is?" It turned out to be Fang Shuran from Jinghai Book Pool, I thought it was a master, saying that you don't stay in the book pool to write, come to my world chess pavilion, what do you want? ”

"Mo Qifeng! Since you know it's me, you don't show up quickly. Fang Shuran waved his hand-held fan towards the depths of the chess pavilion.

"What about you?" From the depths of the chess pavilion came a man who did not look very old, but he was quite sophisticated.

"Your Excellency, is this the master of the World Chess Pavilion - Mo Qifeng?" I saluted.

"It's here, I don't know how many people came, why did they come?" This Mo Qifeng spoke a few refreshingly.

"Let's be honest, we're here for one thing."

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say that. "Mo Qifeng is quite popular with everyone.

"I heard that Liu Xuande was pouring troops south, and I wanted to go to help, but who knew that the city gate was heavily guarded, and it was still far from enough to rely on a few of us. So I want to ask Your Excellency to help me, I don't know what to do? "I'm sincere.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I'm just a chess player, this sword against each other, right and wrong are in the game, and I hope to ask for another master." Before he could fully listen to us, he turned us back.

"I don't understand, why are you people like this, and the things of this world really have nothing to do with you?" Cui Li was angry again.

"There is only a chess game in your heart, if you really want me to help it, it is not impossible, as long as one of you wins with me, I will help you."

This comparison sounds like there is no problem, but Mo Qifeng has been specializing in research since he was a child

It is not easy to win the chess game with him. My head started to ache violently again. It felt like there was a force pulling me out of this plane.

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

The voice was repeated again and again in my head.

When I opened my eyes, it was the same table-style chessboard again.

By the bright light, I saw a middle-aged man sitting across from me, with a serious expression that didn't seem to smile, wearing a striped shirt and a mechanical watch in his right hand. It's so familiar and so strange.

"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.

Why is this the case again, my mind is very confused. It's like two planes intertwined with each other.

I was back in the real world again, but I also knew very well that the 'virtual world' in front of me was not so real.

"Mo Qifeng, how do you say to compete?" Cui Li asked loudly.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, and follow me into the courtyard." Mo Qifeng took us back to the side of the pond, and looked at the stone plate in the center, we couldn't believe it for a while.

This is where we compete? But there's no chessboard here, huh?

Just as I hesitated, Mo Qifeng jumped up and stood gently on the stone plate in the middle of the pond.

"Look, everyone, this is where we compete." Mo Qifeng pointed to the stone plate under his feet.

This isn't a joke, this stone plate is where we competed. I don't even know how to get up, and even if I do, I don't know if I'm going to sink down

At this time, my head hurt again.

"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.

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

These familiar words came to mind again. What the hell is going on?

I looked at the huge stone plate on the pond in front of me, and since Mo Qifeng chose this place as the place to compete, we could only accept it gladly.

But it's hard to say the outcome of this competition. I took a slight leap into the air and stood on top of the stone plate. The competition began!!

Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally governed seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou that the soldiers must fight for were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the Han land into nine regions, the so-called "Kyushu". According to the records of "Shangshu Yugong", the order of Kyushu is: Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Xu and Liang were merged into Qingzhou and Yongzhou respectively, so there was no Xuzhou and Liangzhou.
