Zhao Gongming, a native of Qin, was born in Zhongnan Mountain, and became a Taoist protector marshal, who liked military affairs.

Guan Yunchang was originally the first right-hand man under Liu Bei's account in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he once guarded Jingzhou alone, flooded the Seventh Army, and shocked China, and he was naturally proficient in military affairs.

After the two self-proclaimed gods met by chance, they hit it off at first sight and became close friends, often when they had nothing to do, the gods met and played chess and talked.

It is precisely because of the military drama that it is deeply loved by the two.

As for why it is a Xiangju and not Go, the main reason is that Go is more like a game between two countries, and its strategic purpose is to "defeat" the opponent in the sense of military, political, economic and other dimensions, or to build a "stronger" country than the other party on the grid continent of "nineteen times nineteen".

The elephant drama simulates the battle between the two armies, aiming to take the head of the enemy general and win the battle.

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang do not have the heart to govern the country, but they have the style of generals, so they prefer elephant opera.

Now that the two of them heard that there was a game in the world that could better reflect their military ability than the elephant opera, their eyes naturally lit up, and they wanted to see what kind of game it was, and it was even better than the elephant opera.

Just as the two of them were thinking about it, Chen Yun had already squatted on the ground and picked up the branches and slowly drew the chessboard.

He first drew a square square, and then drew a horizontal space in the middle, on which "Chu River" and "Han Boundary" were noted.

Zhao Gongming was stunned, "Little guy, what is this?" ”

Guan Yunchang also looked curious, and looked at Chen Yun without knowing why.

Chen Yun didn't raise his head, and explained casually: "Oh, this is the Chu River and the Han Realm, and my game is based on the two forces of Chu Overlord Xiang Yu and Han Gaozu Liu Bang, so it is divided into the Chu River and the Han Realm, and this place is also called the River Realm." ”

"Based on the two forces of Chu and Han, there is a river of demarcation?" Guan Yunchang was surprised and said, "It seems to be a little interesting." ”

Zhao Gongming bowed slightly, "Before the two armies fought, it was indeed clear, and the elephant drama we were playing had no demarcation, which was really flawed." ”

Although they only saw the Chu River Han Boundary, Guan Yunchang and Zhao Gongming's military talent could see the role of the "Chu River Han Realm" at a glance.

It was precisely because they understood how much the "Chu River Han Realm" could play in the simulated war, and the two watched Chen Yun draw the chessboard more carefully, and they wanted to see how many surprises this young man could bring.

The chess board is relatively simple, and Chen Yun finished drawing it in a while.

There are rules and regulations in front of me, and although the shape is a little different from that of the elephant play, it is quite similar.

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang can roughly understand that Chen Yun should have drawn some kind of chessboard for elephant play.

It's just that there are places where they don't understand.

Guan Yunchang took the initiative to ask the puzzled place, "Young man, what is the purpose of crossing the chess grid in the middle of the bottom of the chessboard on these two sides?" ”

Chen Yun explained: "This is the Nine Palaces, the military tent of the generals, and the place where the generals, the commanders, and the soldiers are strategized. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "When marching and fighting, you must also set up camps, and the military tent is set up wonderfully." ”

Guan Yunchang agreed: "Indeed, young man, I have an idea, Guan is more interested in your game, what next?" ”

"General Guan, Marshal Zhao, can you please use Dafa to make me thirty-two chess pieces without crosswords?" Chen Yun said unhurriedly: "It's best to distinguish slightly, and sixteen chess pieces each can be used." ”

"So, it's easy."

As soon as the sound fell, Zhao Gongming stretched out his hand and waved.

I saw a chaotic stone not far away rise into the air out of thin air, and then there was no vision, and the chaotic stone shattered in an instant, leaving only a square chessboard and sixteen chess-shaped cobblestones.

He made a move at the chessboard and the chess pieces, and the two came to the three of them and landed.

Then, Zhao Gongming pointed to the dead wood under the tree, and sixteen wooden wordless chess pieces were automatically "drilled" out of the dead wood.

He did the same, leaving the wooden pieces scattered on the board.

It was only a breath of time, and the chessboard and chess pieces were ready.

Zhao Gongming looked at Chen Yun, "Little guy, is this okay?" ”

"I still need Marshal Zhao's help." Chen Yun took out five of the stone chess pieces and five wooden chess pieces, "The trouble marshal carved 'pawn' on these five stone chess pieces and carved 'pawn' on the wooden chess pieces." ”

Zhao Gongming responded, "Good." ”

In the next moment, the stone chess and wooden chess automatically appear "pawn" and "pawn".

Chen Yun took out two more stone chess pieces and wooden chess, "Marshal Lao Fu engraved the word 'cannon' on these four chess pieces." ”

Zhao Gongming did so.

After a while, the chariot and horse elephant warrior will finish carving all the (handsome).

Chen Yun lowered his head with the help of starlight to see if there were any omissions.

Guan Yunchang didn't say anything, just watched with interest.

Zhao Gongming, who was arranged to do things for a long time, couldn't hold back.

He took the initiative to say in a loud voice: "I see that these chess pieces of yours are somewhat similar to the chess pieces of the Xiangxi, but they are slightly different, and the number is also more, especially this 'cannon' chess, which has never existed in the Xiangxi, what is the role of this chess piece?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you slowly when I set up the chess pieces."

Chen Yun laid out the chess pieces one by one.

Soon, the pieces were placed.

Guan Yunchang and Zhao Gongming were full of curiosity to watch it early in the morning.

Especially Zhao Gongming, seeing that Chen Yun's chess pieces were arranged, urged: "Little guy, talk about it carefully." ”

Chen Yun raised his head and said, "Okay, then I'll explain." ”

Seeing that he was about to explain, Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang kept silent and listened attentively.

Chen Yun pointed to the pawns and said: "These are the soldiers who march and fight, and they are listed in front of the formation, which are used to charge into the battle and break the enemy. ”

This is not much different from the elephant play, and the two did not express an opinion.

Chen Yun pointed to the cannon chess and said: "This chess is called a cannon, but it is actually a catapult, which can damage the enemy in the air, but there must be an arbitrary chess piece in front of it to defeat the opponent's chess piece." ”

Catapults were invented in the Spring and Autumn period.

The Battle of Guandu is a strengthened version of it, called "Thunderbolt".

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang are proficient in military affairs, so they are naturally no strangers to catapults.

It's just that they still don't understand.

Guan Yunchang asked this question, "Why does the cannon play chess every other day?" ”

Chen Yun explained solemnly: "When the catapult is attacking the city, does someone need to calibrate the bearing? If there is no one ahead, who will position the catapult? In addition, the cannon is a catapult, and playing chess can reflect the powerful power of the catapult siege, so it is different from other chess pieces. ”

Zhao Gongming nodded thoughtfully.

Guan Yunchang also felt that it was reasonable, "Such a remark is also interesting, what about other chess pieces?" ”

Chen Yun told the two of them the role of each chess piece and how to move it.

Xiangqi was born out of elephant opera, and Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang are loyal lovers of elephant opera, and they immediately understood everything when they heard it.

Moreover, the two of them have very strong military capabilities, and it was discovered that chess is indeed more perfect than elephant play, and it can better reflect the military quality of local warfare.

Although the two have not yet officially started playing chess, they can already roughly understand the subtleties of chess.

Chess is characterized by luck and "potential".

The position of the chess pieces on the field affects the situation of the entire chessboard to a certain extent.

There are many children, but the location is not good, and it still can't play its role.

Those with more children are not necessarily on the offensive.

Those who have fewer children are not necessarily on the defensive.

Through the operation of the chess pieces, the transformation of the situation on the field can be completely completed.

Therefore, chess is more like commanding a campaign, by operating different classes to make them appear in different positions on the battlefield, and complete the change of the direction of the battle.

The different formations at the beginning can reflect the campaign purpose chosen by the side to a certain extent.

Different formations can restrain each other, which fully interprets the phrase "impermanence".

It is precisely because of their understanding of the subtleties of chess that Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang couldn't help but admire.

"Wonderful!" Zhao Gongming stroked his palm and praised: "The chess created by Xiaoyou is indeed much more exquisite than the elephant play. ”

Before that, he had been calling Chen Yun "little guy".

Now I can see the subtleties of chess, and I have changed my name to "Xiaoyou".

It is conceivable how much Zhao Gongming agrees with chess.

Guan Yunchang was in a similar situation, and his address to Chen Yun changed, "Brother Chen, how did you create such a smart game of chess?" ”

Oh, yes.

You're young, you don't look like you've been on the battlefield.

So how did you create such a playable game as chess?

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang looked at Chen Yun's immature face.

Although Xiangqi was born out of Xiangju, there is really no Xiangqi in this world, so there is nothing wrong with saying that Chen Yun is original.

It's just that Chen Yun didn't know how chess was created?

He simply said honestly: "Xiangqi is not created by me, but created by predecessors, Yun just remembers that there is this way to play, and tonight I saw Marshal Zhao and General Guan coming to the scene, so this kind of game is presented." ”

"Haha, this little friend is quite humble."

Zhao Gongming thought that Chen Yun was modest, so he couldn't help laughing.

The ancients preferred modest and low-key people to crazy births.

When he saw Chen Yun so humble, he liked it even more.

Guan Yunchang also laughed and said: "Guan has been playing elephant opera for hundreds of years, but I have never seen anyone create this kind of chess game, you must not be humble, I know that you have great talents, and you will definitely be able to become an adult in the future." ”

The two praised for a long time.

Chen Yun was a little embarrassed to be praised.

At the end, Guan Yun said: "Okay, I'll play a few games with Brother Zhao first to see if this chess is as I guessed." ”

Zhao Gongming said: "I haven't played and can't verify the conjecture, Xiaoyou, you wait a while, I will play a few games with Brother Guan, if this chess game is really as exquisite as I guessed, then Brother Guan promised you the benefits, he didn't give it, and I, Zhao Gongming, should also compensate you for one or two......"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yunchang blew his beard and glared at him: "Guan Mou has always made a promise, if this chess game is really exquisite, I will definitely give enough benefits, but you Zhao Gongming don't get cheap and sell well, I promise to give Chen Xiaoge benefits, what do you give?" ”

Zhao Gongming was ridiculed by words, and he was quite unable to pull away from his feelings, so he had to say: "You are willing to give benefits, can I still lag behind you?" Little friend, you sit and wait for a while, and I will kill this red fight without leaving a piece of armor, and I will think of some benefits with you later. ”

Chen Yun hurriedly said: "I don't dare to ask for the benefits of the two seniors, today I can see Marshal Zhao and General Guan's true faces." ”

"Eh, what Guan promised will definitely be done."

"Well, the same is true for me Zhao."

"Come, come, let's play chess."

Zhao Gongming and Guan Yunchang began to fight on the chessboard.

Although Chen Yun didn't participate, his heart became hot.

Zhao Gongming, as one of the four generalissimos of Taoism, and Guan Yunchang are the Buddhist protector Garan and the ghost king, all of whom are truly sacred.

Chen Yun felt that if the two of them gave him benefits, the quality must be very high, right?
