Chapter 68: Chess Meets Opponents
After Yang Jian gently bowed, he took out a large piece of green beef that had been stored in a container and was still raw from the Swallowing Heaven Jade Jing bottle......
The green beef has been bloodied by Yang Qian, but it exudes a faint fragrance!
After all, the green cow is a demon beast in the realm of demon generals, and it is not an ordinary thing. So its meat quality can be said to be excellent!
"Daughter-in-law, go and deal with these green beef, you have to have a good meal tonight!" Yu Wenpo straightened his head and said to his wife Wu Ying, who was still in the kitchen.
"Hmm!" Hearing her husband's words, Wu Ying made it out of the kitchen.
"It's Ah Qian! Come! Sit down! It's your own home here! You're welcome!" After Wu Ying saw Yang Jian standing next to Yu Wenpo, she hurriedly poured water for Yang Jian as a gift to her master.
Wu Ying put the water cup on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and then hurriedly motioned for Yang Jian to sit down.
"You guy, how can you let other people's children stand!" Wu Ying stretched out her index finger, frowned slightly, and wanted to push Yu Wenpo's head.
"Why do you blame me for everything!Aren't I studying the chess game!" Yu Wenpo tilted his head, dodged his wife's fingers, and fiddled with the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him.
"It's okay! I also wanted to see the chess game just now, so I stood next to my uncle. Yang Jian could see that Yu Wenpo and Wu Ying were quite affectionate.
"Then you sit down for a while, and Auntie will cook first. Meng Xin is practicing, and she may be able to come down later. Let's talk first, Auntie is going to cook! Let's eat at Auntie's house later! I heard Mengxin say that you live alone, so it's not convenient to prepare dinner! In the future, if you have time, you will come to Auntie's house to eat every day!" Wu Ying smiled at Yang Qian, showing her hospitality.
"And you!Don't just think about the chess game!Talk more with other people's children!" Wu Ying nodded Yu Wenpo's forehead again, and then brought the green beef that Yang Jian had just taken out of the Swallowing Heaven Jade Bottle to the kitchen, ready to cook.
Yang Jian sat quietly on the sofa, observed the chess game in front of Yu Wenpo, and said lightly: "Huaxia chess is an ancient chess game with a history of about two thousand years. ”
"The term chess first appeared during the Warring States period. In "Chu Ci and Summoning Spirits", there is a special record of its form and method of playing: "There are six books of chess; ’”
And the meaning of this sentence is to say: "There are six chess pieces made of jade the size of a dice, and there are six on each side; The method of the game is to play against two or two groups of league players, attacking each other and forcing each other to a dead end; In the end, the winner multiplied the victory. Defeated the enemy soldiers, and let out a shout of victory. ”
Hearing Yang Qian's words, Yu Wenpo's eyes suddenly lit up.
But he didn't interrupt Yang Qian, but continued to listen to Yang Qian.
And Yang Jian could also see that Yu Wenpo was very interested in what he said.
"Legend has it that chess originated from the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. Huang Buzhi of the Northern Song Dynasty said in "Guangxiang Opera Preface": "Those who play like elephants also play soldiers." The battle of the Yellow Emperor was fought to drive away fierce beasts. Elephant, the male of the beast also. Therefore, the opera soldiers are named after the elephant drama. ’”
Yang Jian recalled the famous articles he had memorized when he was a child, and talked eloquently.
Although Yang Jian memorized a few words incorrectly, it did not affect its general meaning.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the form of Xiangqi was constantly changing, and it had a spread relationship with India; in the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu made the "Xiangjing", and Wang Bao wrote the "Xiangxi: Preface", and Gengxin wrote the "Xiangxi Jingfu". This marked the completion of the second major reform of the chess system. Yang Jian recalled the memories in his mind and observed Yu Wenpo's expression.
"Haha! I didn't expect you to be very knowledgeable!" Yu Wenpo heard that Yang Jian no longer spoke, so he laughed out loud a few times.
Yu Wenpo also likes chess very much, so he suddenly had the urge to play against Yang Qian!
"Sure enough, you are from a famous family! Admire! Ah Qian, seeing that you are so proficient in the history of chess, I wonder if you can accompany me for a few steps?" Yu Wenpo smiled and asked Yang Jian if he could play chess.
Yu Wenpo leaned on the sofa and looked at Yang Jian with a smile. And although his resolute face was smiling, it was very majestic.
"Uncle has won the prize! I'm just a rough chess player, and I know some ancient Chinese on paper. And I see that my uncle is studying such a profound endgame, he must be a chess master! How dare I play against my uncle, isn't this self-deprecating?" Yang Jian arched his hand slightly, humbly, and wanted to refuse Yu Wenpo euphemistically.
But things were not as Yang Jian expected, Yu Wenpo didn't wait for Yang Jian to finish speaking, so he directly slapped the coffee table and shook the chess pieces into the air.
Yuwen Po was not angry, but used ingenuity to put all the chess pieces back in place.
The chess pieces that fell on the chess cards were upright and neat, and each had its place!
can classify more than 30 chess pieces under one beat, which shows the depth of Yuwen's breaking skills!
Yuwen Po used this method to force Yang Jian to play against him!
"Ah! In that case, then I'll be ugly! I'll choose the red side!" Yang Jian felt helpless in his heart.
Yuwen Podu has already done the chess pieces, and Yang Jian has no reason to refuse anymore.
Since ancient times, there has been little competition between guests and hosts unless they are close friends.
After all, once the guest wins, there will be a suspicion that the guest is bullying the host, and the reputation of the guest is not good; if the host wins, there will be a bad rumor that the host is bullying the guest.
Yang Jian came to Yuwen Mengxin's house for the first time, and was forced to play chess by Yuwen Po, and he was helpless in his heart.
Although Yu Wenpo was born in a Xiuzhen family, almost all the children of the Xiuzhen family are mainly Xiuzhen, and there are very few children of the family who really understand Chinese etiquette.
And although Yu Wenpo also knew some Chinese etiquette, he never cared about these.
People like Xiang Yu Wenpo are exactly the kind of "I am a madman in Chu, Feng Ge laughs at Kongqiu" in the mouth of the poet immortal Li Bai!
"What is this called! I was forced to play chess!" Yang Jian said to himself secretly, and he was quite helpless.
The two sides playing chess must sit opposite each other, so Yuwen Po put the chessboard horizontally on the coffee table, and wanted to stand up and sit on the sofa next to him.
But seeing Yang Jian who wanted to get up from Yuwenpo, he quickly sat directly to the west, and turned half a circle of chessboard to rush the red side towards him.
And the reason why Yang Jian did this was entirely because of the dignity and humility of the seat.
In ancient times, there was a difference between the dignity and inferiority of the seats, and it was very strict. The Venerable is superior, and the inferior is inferior. Moreover, the ancients were still right, and the right was respected.
Moreover, the ancients often called the king and emperor "south", and the minister "north".
There are a few sentences in "Hongmen Banquet": "King Xiang and Uncle Xiang sit in the east, and the father sits in the south,...... Pei Gong sits in the north, and Zhang Liang waits in the west. "King Xiang's seat is the most respectful, and Zhang Liang's seat is the lowest.
But now the chessboard is east-west after Yuwen Po's rotation.
So Yang Jian chose a west-facing humble position.
Yang Jian is a human being, so he naturally wants to leave the respect for Yuwen as the master.
And Yang Jian deliberately chose the red side, which was to tell Yu Wenpo in a vague way: "Red first and black second, it doesn't stink if you lose!"
This is a popular phrase in the chess world.
Yang Jian knew this, and he also knew that Yu Wenpo would definitely let himself go first, so he did this.
In this way, whether Yang Jian is defeated or Yuwen is defeated, the two sides will not be too ugly. And it won't be too embarrassing to hold the son first.
And Yu Wenpo also saw the meaning of Yang Qian's move, and praised it in his heart.
"This kid, it's okay! be humble and polite, I like it!" Yuwen Po smiled and smiled, and sat down in the east-facing position.
Although Yu Wenpo was a teenager, he was also a martial artist who did not understand etiquette. But as I grew older, I also roughly understood some Chinese etiquette when I chatted with my wife.
"Ah Qian, you go first!" Although Yu Wenpo knew the truth that red first and black came later, he still had to let Yang Jian go.
"Well, then I'm not welcome! As the saying goes, 'red first and black second', it doesn't stink if you lose!" Yang Jian picked up the "elephant" seed, flew to the "field", and fell to the middle of the top of the nine-square grid in front of the handsome.
Yang Qian's chess is a simple defensive chess. Meaning: Uncle, even if you attack, I can defend.
"You can't rely on the strong to bully the weak, try to focus on defense. Trying to drag it out until the endgame is letting my uncle win narrowly!" Yang Jian calculated in his heart. It's just that when he was about to reach the endgame, he knew how ridiculous his ideas were.
And Yu Wenpo also saw this, and smiled again, his eyes full of approval.
"Good boy! Yes, I didn't take the lead, so I was different from my peers. Not arrogant, not impatient, interesting!" Yu Wenpo secretly praised Yang Jian in his heart.
To be honest, Yang Qian's move was much more than Yuwen Po expected.
Because in his opinion, Yang Jian is a person who likes blitzkrieg, and likes to burst out with all his strength in an instant, so as to win by surprise.
This is what Yu Wenpo learned from his daughter about Yang Qian's personality and attack style.
And Yuwen Po did not hesitate, and when the head cannon was pushed horizontally, Yang Jian had to jump off his horse to protect the soldiers.
In this way, Yu Wenpo and Yang Jian have come and gone, and after nearly ten times, no one on either side has lost a child!
Yu Wenpo did not dare to attack rashly, and Yang Jian also tried his best to defend.
"Good boy, there is a strong defense everywhere in the whole layout!" Yu Wenpo muttered in his heart.
And Yang Jian is calm.
Because when he was in the East China Sea, he often played chess with the old man among the leaders of the Praetorian Guard, so his chess skills were also superb.
Therefore, in Yang Qian's view, as long as you deal with it seriously, there is no problem in holding out to the endgame, and it is very likely to end up in a draw.
Yang Qian, who has no intention of winning, can be regarded as full of confidence, but Yuwen Po is a little pressured.
However, in the hearts of the two, they are very serious about dealing with each other's offensive.
It can be said that in the eyes of the two of them, they both feel that they have met each other!
