"Chess?"

Several people looked at each other.

It's the first time they've heard the name chess.

"Not bad."

Hua Xiong nodded and said with a smile,

"It's simple, it's fun and competitive, and most importantly, it's not complicated."

"Really?"

Guo Jia and Li Ru looked incredulous.

The rules are not complicated, they are interesting, and they are competitive.

They had never heard of such a good board game.

"I'll do it later, and you'll know."

Hua Xiong smiled.

"Then lord, you go and do it."

Zhou Cang, who had itchy hands, couldn't help but urge.

Hua Xiong ordered someone to find a carpenter and tell him what the chessboard and chess pieces looked like.

The production process of chess is quite simple.

After hearing this, the carpenter succeeded in making a standard chess set in less than two hours.

Looking at the grid on the chessboard and the four big characters of the Chu River Han Realm, Guo Jia's eyes widened.

"Lord, this Chu River and the Han Realm, does it mean that Emperor Gaozu and Xiang Yu divided the world back then?"

"That's right."

Hua Xiong nodded.

At that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a four-year battle in Xingyang.

Later, the two sides agreed to divide the world with the chasm as the boundary.

The gap and the west are Han, and the gap and the east are Chu.

Later generations of chess evolved to define the middle separation point on the chessboard as the Chu River and Han boundary.

Hua Xiong told several people the rules in chess, such as what kind of car can only go straight, and the rules that horses go to the sun and walk in the fields.

Li Ru and Guo Jia are both very smart, and they will hear it.

Guo Jia frowned slightly, he played the chess pieces, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The chessboard is small, but it also contains a profound philosophy."

"Guo Junshi, what do you feel again?"

Zhou Cang said curiously.

"Look at the soldiers and pawns, as long as they cross the river, they can only move forward, and they cannot retreat.

It symbolizes the spirit of loyalty to the lord. ”

Guo Jia pointed to the chessboard and talked eloquently.

Looking at the "Shi" in this chess, he would rather die than defend the integrity of the "general" in the Nine Palaces, which embodies righteousness. ”

And the generals of both sides did not go out of the Nine Palaces, but commanded the battlefield, reflecting the posture of strategizing on the battlefield.

Tell us that chess is not a matter of hard work, but of tactics and stratagem to win.

It's about wit. ”

After Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and agreed,

"It's amazing that a small chess piece can embody loyalty, righteousness and wisdom."

"Guo Junshi, how can a little chess make you feel so much."

Zhou Cang was a little impatient, he looked at Hua Xiong,

"Lord, let's have a discussion."

"Okay."

Hua Xiong readily agreed.

The two sat on the left and right sides and started the game.

"Head shot!"

Zhou Cang shouted.

Hua Xiong smiled dumbly.

I didn't expect Zhou Cang to be so smart, and he knew how to hit the first shot.

He was unhurried and calm.

I have to say, don't look at Zhou Cang's five big and three rough, but he has some talent in chess.

Many of the formulas of later generations were used by him.

It's a pity that it was Hua Xiong sitting across from him.

That was the existence of the Chess Cup for primary and secondary school students in the city in his previous life.

"General."

Hua Xiong ate Zhou Cang's elephant and checkmate his veteran.

Zhou Cang's brows furrowed, and he thought hard.

After a moment, he looked up and sneered,

"Lord, I just made a mistake, can you let me pick it up and walk again."

"No, you don't regret your husband, being a man is like playing chess, you can't regret chess casually."

Hua Xiong taught with great seriousness.

Li Ru and Guo Jia next to them were shocked when they heard Hua Xiong's words.

"Well, I lost."

Zhou Cang muttered, looking unwilling.

"But I was careless just now, and I didn't flash.

Let's do it all over again. ”

"It's useless." Hua Xiong laughed, "Your level is too far behind me. ”

"Hey, I don't believe it."

Zhou Cang did not relent.

"If you can win me, I'll give you three days' worth of food."

Hearing this, Li Ru and Guo Jia were a little excited.

It's been a long time since they've been to Huaxiong Mansion for dinner.

"Zhou Cang, you cheer me up!"

"That's it, don't lose again!"

The two cheered for Zhou Cang.

"Don't worry, of course I'll do my best!"

Zhou Cang swore authentically.

So Hua Xiong and Zhou Cang opened another game.

In order to taste Huaxiong's craftsmanship, Zhou Cang worked hard.

He launched a series of offensives, two-rook attacks, chain horses, and various attacks emerged one after another.

But Hua Xiong responded calmly and turned his offensive into invisible.

Watching Hua Xiong skillfully eat his own horse, Zhou Cang's brows furrowed deeply.

He felt that the lord's defense was so impregnable that he couldn't attack it at all.

Guo Jia on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed lightly,

"Zhou Cang, you can ...... further"

Hua Xiong glared at Guo Jia,

"Fengxiao, a true gentleman who doesn't say anything about chess, understand?"

Guo Jia stopped talking.

Zhou Cang had to fight alone.

But in the face of Huaxiong's superb chess skills, Zhou Cang lasted less than a while and was defeated again.

"Don't look at chess, although it is just a small entertainment, chess is like life, life is like chess.

Watching chess is silent, a true gentleman, and a husband who does not regret playing chess. ”

Hua Xiong said earnestly.

After hearing this, the three of them all had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"This chessboard is round and round, symbolizing the reality of heaven and earth.

And the fight on the chessboard also contains the truth of war.

Attacking with a single attack often yields little effect, but a defensive counterattack can do wonders. ”

Guo Jia's body was shocked, and a look of sudden realization appeared.

He bowed deeply to Hua Xiong,

"Thank you, Lord."

"I didn't expect this little chess to contain so many truths.

I'm being taught today.

My lord, please bow down to me too! ”

Li Ru also saluted Hua Xiong.

"There are still many places for you to learn from me in the future."

Hua Xiong laughed.

"Lord, I wonder if I'm qualified to play against you?"

Guo Jia is looking forward to authenticity.

"Yes, come on."

There was nothing to do, so Hua Xiong agreed.

"But if I win, does the previous bet still count?"

Guo Jia looked at Hua Xiong with blank eyes.

Hua Xiong: "......"

When you play chess with me, are you thinking about going to my house to eat?

Hua Xiong is angry and funny.

"Okay, no problem, as long as you can win me, then no problem!"

Guo Jia was overjoyed, "Come on!" ”

The two rearranged the chessboard.

Guo Jia's thinking is quick, and after observing the game just now, he already has his own ideas.

At the beginning of the game, the careless Huaxiong even fell behind.

The two fought fiercely on this small chessboard.

Zhou Cang and Li Ru on the side watched it so drunk.

It was as if through the chessboard, seeing thousands of armies fighting on the battlefield.
