The soldiers of the Red Star Army all heard Liu Handong's words, and then looked at his confident expression, and couldn't help but secretly think: Yes! The lord is the one who has been instructed by Zhuge Daxian to save the world, so what else can stump him? Xia Houdun, who was previously known as the first fierce general in Jizhou and Youzhou, was already defeated by the lord? This is the miracle that only those who are destined to return to heaven can create by defeating the strong with the weak. So, how can I still worry that the lord can't win this game of chess? In this case, then we have nothing to worry about.

At this time, Liu Handong asked very firmly: "Comrades-in-arms, who is willing to walk on the chessboard formation with me as a member of the first chess piece." ”

So, everyone suddenly scrambled to speak: "Lord, I am willing to be one of the first chess pieces." ”

"My lord, I am willing to be sent by you as a pawn!"

"Lord, please use my life as you like!"

……

Seeing that the soldiers swept away the previous nervousness and worry, Liu Handong took the opportunity to shout: "Xiahou Yuan, I promised to play against you." Let you taste defeat in what you think is the best chess game, and I'll convince you to lose. Soldiers, the battle spirit is released! ”

"Ignorant child, I will let you know how the word 'death' is written." Xiahou Yuan said very contemptuously.

As Liu Handong injected the battle qi of the soldiers of the Red Star Army into the battle qi cloud of the chessboard array, the previous golden battle qi cloud gradually turned gray and white. This is the unique neutral hybrid battle atmosphere generated by the characteristics of the checkerboard array.

When the battle qi cloud of the entire chessboard array turned gray and white, Liu Handong immediately felt that his true qi had lost contact with the battle qi group of the Red Star Army soldiers, and he could no longer control and use the battle qi.

At this moment, the true qi that was originally attached to the Xiahou Yuantian Silkworm Knife was also disconnected from the mixed battle qi cloud. At this point, both coaches lost control of the battle air group.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth and said to Liu Handong: "Little doll, then let's start playing." If I make the first move, it will be regarded as black, and if you play the second move, it will be regarded as white. Look at my first hand, Tian Yuan! ”

Seeing Xiahou Yuan commanding a hundred people to the most central point of the chessboard, Liu Handong couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but think to himself in his heart: The other party really thinks that he is a rookie in Go. In the game of Go, the first hand to reach the position of Tian Yuan either has absolute confidence in his own strength, or completely looks down on the opponent in order to despise the opponent, or deliberately despises the opponent to achieve the purpose of provoking the opponent, so that the opponent loses his reason and calm in anger.

Because, the chess piece in the position of Tian Yuan is very vulnerable to the opponent's attack. Therefore, when playing chess, most players do not play at this point first.

But when a super master in the Go world actually plays at this point in the first hand, will his opponent think like this: will he have some clever moves waiting for me behind? Because, with the level of the opponent, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake.

In this way, you can increase the psychological burden of the opponent, so that every move behind him is forward-looking and hesitant, for fear of accidentally falling into the trap designed by the opponent.

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, it's a pity that your Master Liu is not a rookie in the Go world? How could my psyche be affected by such a clumsy trick of yours?

Therefore, Liu Handong shouted and said, "Come ninety-nine brothers, follow me!" I saw Liu Handong and ninety-nine soldiers fall on the star point in the lower left corner of the chessboard, and a son is left behind.

When Liu Handong and the other ninety-nine warriors stood still on the chessboard array, two discs, one black and one white, were formed on the ground at the points where the two sides landed, which were black and white chess pieces.

At the same time, the hundred warriors on both sides of the chessboard suddenly appeared on everyone's heads. It's just that a black circle of light appeared on the head of the Xiahou Army soldier, while a white circle of light appeared on the head of the Red Star Army soldier.

This phenomenon means that these fighters have been targeted by the mixed battle qi, and will be left to the victorious side to do as they please.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan spoke: "Little doll, the chess pieces on the ground have been generated, and the one hundred warriors of each have also been locked by the mixed battle qi, and these warriors can withdraw from the chessboard. Let's move on to the second move. ”

Liu Handong suddenly realized: "I see, but you don't have to stand on the chessboard all the time until the end of the chess game." In this regard, I think the characteristics of this chessboard array are quite humane. Comrades-in-arms, let's go, let's exit the chessboard first. ”

When the warriors of both sides as the first chess pieces withdrew from the chessboard array, Liu Handong stood at the edge of the chessboard array and said to Xiahou Yuan on the opposite side: "Come on, Xiahou Yuan, let's play the second chess move." ”

Immediately after, the two of them landed several moves in succession. Both sides are very calm, and they have steadily begun to lay out on the chessboard, and there has been no direct confrontation between the opponent's chess pieces for the time being.

Xiahou saw that Liu Handong was not affected by his first Tianyuan point, and seeing that his layout was also very stable, he knew that the other party was not a rookie in Go.

So, Xiahou Yuan quickly put away his contempt for Liu Handong and began to calm down and seriously play every chess move.

After all, the outcome of the chess game is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of people on your side. Therefore, both sides play each move very carefully, often after thinking for a long time, before falling into a well-thought-out piece.

When the game reached the thirty-first hand, Xiahou Yuan accurately grabbed one of Liu Handong's vulgar moves (stinky chess) in the competition for the upper left corner, and immediately flew out of a good hand (good chess), taking the opportunity to seize a large open space in the upper left corner. As a result, Xiahou Yuan temporarily gained a certain advantage in the situation.

By the time of the sixtieth move, it was already dark, and both sides had to write down the game and play it again the next day. The situation on the chessboard on the first day was that Xiahou Yuan's black chess had a certain advantage.

That night, Liu Handong stayed alone in the tent, carefully thinking about the possibilities of the subsequent changes in the chess game. Regarding the temporary backwardness on the chess surface, Liu Handong's psychology has not been affected in any way.

Facing the chess game in front of him, Liu Handong was very engrossed, and he didn't even know that the soldiers sent dinner to the camp tent. It wasn't until he couldn't hold back his urine that Liu Handong got up and went outside the tent for convenience.

After returning to the camp tent, Liu Handong saw the food in the camp tent, so he quickly took a few bites of the food that had become cold, and then concentrated on thinking about the subsequent changes in the chess game.

Similarly, Xiahou Yuan also stayed alone in his tent, facing a lone lamp on the table, staring intently at the chess game in front of him without moving, like a flat boat parked on the quiet lake.

In Xia Houyuan's consciousness, the chess game in front of him was like a sky full of stars reflected in the water, clearly reflected in his mind.

Unconsciously, Xiahou Yuan had already thought until dawn. Seeing that the sky had begun to turn white, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly lay down and fell asleep for a while.

At dawn on the second day, Liu Handong and Xiahou Yuan continued to play.

Xiahou is far from being one of the four great Go saints today, and every step is as steady as a rock, and he will never take any risks.

Xiahou Yuan just grabbed the ground on the chessboard steadily, little by little, little by little, and constantly consolidated and expanded his lead.

After the first day of confrontation on the chessboard, Xia Houyuan already understood that Liu Handong's strength in the overall situation and general trend of Go was not as stable and thick as his own, but the opponent was often able to make clever moves in local battles, which made the chess game that was about to fall into a bad situation suddenly turn into danger.

Although the opponent was in a backward position, there was no overall collapse, and he still clung to the game, so that he could not quickly further expand the lead.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan naturally thought: Since the opponent is good at fighting locally, and neglects to lay out the layout in the general trend, then he will use the momentum to suppress others and crush the opponent from the general trend. As the saying goes, I attack the shortcomings of the other with my own strengths, and there is no need for me to risk fighting with the other party in a local way.

Next, with the change of the chess game, Liu Handong also felt the steadiness and thickness of Xiahou Yuan's chess strength, and couldn't help but secretly think to himself: his strength is that he has thousands of famous Go games in his mind, containing countless clever moves and tricks, and is good at attacking and fighting decisively locally.

But for a period of time, Xiahou Yuan began to avoid fighting, but continued to expand his territorial advantage on the chessboard, trying to defeat himself with momentum, which forced his already backward situation to be further expanded.

Alas! What can I do to reverse this backwardness? Liu Handong asked himself in his heart.
