Guo Songtao's interest in playing chess had just come up, and he said to Xiao Beiyou: "Beiyou, the old man took the lead in the last game, and he won you by luck, this time you should play first, please!"

"Okay, since General Guo is polite, the juniors are not welcome, just now you started with a strong attack and took the lead, this time the juniors will learn from you, and also have a strong attack at the beginning, 'Cannon two flat six', General Guo please!"

Xiao Beiyou moved the artillery through the middle palace, erected it on the corner of the nine palaces, put on an offensive posture, and at the same time made way for the horse and the car to make way for the artillery, so that the artillery was conducive to concentrating the offensive firepower in one place and preparing for the next attack.

"Yes, it's really an offensive move, this 'palace cannon' does hide the killing opportunity of the attack, not to be underestimated, it seems that the old man has to defend carefully, fly an elephant first, wait for you to attack." Guo Songtao flew like an elephant and said in a calm tone.

Then, Xiao Beiyou jumped to assist, Guo Songtao rode further, defending from the side, Xiao Beiyou went out to serve, Guo Songtao moved the car to the edge of the Jiugong .......

Xiao Beiyou also marched into troops, set up artillery, and marched into vehicles to strengthen the offensive momentum; Guo Songtao entered the car, jumped his horse, and exited the car to actively defend himself.

Xiao Beiyou gathered troops from the left flank, ready to attack the other side fiercely, Guo Songtao calmly responded, effective defense, the two sides opened a tug-of-war, the battle was very fierce, the two sides were evenly matched, after holding each other for a while, Xiao Beiyou wanted to continue the attack, but the troops were blocked, and had to fight with Guo Songtao one after another, both sides consumed a lot of troops.

At this time, the fierce competition turned into a smooth confrontation due to the large-scale consumption of chess pieces by both sides, and in the end, neither side had enough troops to defeat the other. I had to shake hands and make peace.

Guo Songtao was very happy, he said: "Beiyou, you are really good, with the fierce attack of the 'palace cannon', the old man had to exchange a large amount of money with you, and finally had to shake hands and say goodbye, haha, no win or lose, no need to punish wine, let's toast each other." ”

"General Guo attacked quickly and vigorously in the last game. In this game, however, he played steadily and defended tightly. The calm composure of the battle-hardened veteran in dealing with the attack, and his calm and calm demeanor are very admirable to the juniors, and you show the gentle attitude at the beginning of the game. Confidently fly elephants to deal with the 'palace cannon'. The tone for a solid defense has been set. At that time, the younger generation already felt that whether it was a surprise attack or a strategy to lure the enemy into depth. None of them can change your defensive strategy, nor can they shake your defensive position, sure enough, after the middle game, the juniors are helplessly forced to give you a hand, and finally can't defeat you!" Xiao Beiyou raised his glass to Guo Songtao and said to Guo Songtao in an admiring tone.

"It seems that you still know a lot about chess theory, and in actual combat can defend and attack, young people can have this chess cultivation, it is really good, with the 'palace cannon' to start, convenient for concentrating troops, the offensive is more fierce, but there are also its weaknesses, if you don't go well, it is easy to make your chess pieces crowded together, can not be used, self-depletion, and thus fall into passivity, but you can go very smoothly, maintain the offensive posture, worthy of praise. Guo Songtao said.

"The younger generation is just hearsay, learn a few simple tricks, in a hurry, appropriated to use, mistakenly hit, after all, there is no way to attack, relying on the luck of the old general Guo to shake hands and make peace, presumably the old general Guo intends to be polite to the juniors, in order to encourage the juniors to work hard, the juniors do not know much about the opening moves, only know a few common ones, such as 'head cannon' and 'screen horse'' Immortal guide the way', etc., before, there was an old Chinese medicine doctor who liked to play chess in addition to curing diseases, Beiyou learned a few tricks from the side, and sometimes he also pondered, today he was fortunate to play against General Guo, which is an excellent opportunity to learn chess theory. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"There are a lot of moves in the opening game of chess, in addition to the ones you mentioned, there are also 'flying elephant game', 'starting horse game', 'Shangshi game', 'side horse game', 'river patrol cannon', 'turtle back cannon', 'Shijiao cannon', 'river crossing cannon'' Nine-tailed fish' and so on, all kinds of opening moves have their characteristics, some to start with a solid defense, some to win with a rapid attack, some to attack and defend, flexible conversion, some to attack in defense, hidden killing machine, some to attack for defense, the enemy on the other side of the river boundary, some deliberately entangled each other, blindly seeking peace, chessboard such as the battlefield, chess theory through the art of war, chess such as formation, both sides of the river boundary, seemingly calm, in fact, the smoke of gunpowder, war drums like thunder, for the fight on the chessboard, careful thinking, can understand a lot of ways to use soldiers. Guo Songtao said.

"Heartfelt thanks to General Guo, the younger generation understands, you insist on playing against the juniors, in fact, the way of playing chess is teaching the younger generations the way to use the army, a few feet of chessboard is like a vast battlefield, can strategize, in order to win the enemy, the younger generations will carefully study chess, understand the principles of chess, and try their best to understand the mystery of chess. Xiao Beiyou said sincerely.

"There is a war on the chessboard, the chess theory is extremely profound, it is indeed worth in-depth study, the ancients have a lot of summaries of chess methods, and also left some books on chess theory, read carefully, you can have a great harvest. Guo Songtao said.

"General Guo is right, the younger generation remembered, before the younger generation in the Hanging Temple, I heard the master say that the Northern Song Dynasty physicist Cheng Hao has a poem "Elephant Opera", written about chess, but reading it can feel that it is closely related to the way of using soldiers, the poem says:

'Most of the games are dramas, and they can learn to use soldiers like dramas.

The chariots and horses still have the Zhou tactics, and they have both the name of Han officials.

The Chinese army is heavy on all sides, and the sharp and oblique foot outside the river is light.

But he laughed at himself with his tattoos, and he was as strong as Liu Xiang and idle. ’”

Guo Songtao said: "The old man also read this poem, which shows that the learned people at that time also paid attention to chess, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, chess was already more popular." ”

"General Guo, the younger generation doesn't quite understand the individual words in the poem "Like a Play", such as 'partiality', what does it mean?" Xiao Beiyou asked.

"'Bias' is the later Xiang, Shi, there are chess experts have studied, in the Northern Song Dynasty, chess has been popular, but there seems to be no 'cannon' at that time, there is no 'river boundary' in the middle of the chessboard, to the Southern Song Dynasty, there is 'Chu River Han Boundary'. Guo Songtao explained.

In this way, chess is also constantly changing gradually, and the current chess theory is so wonderful that it must have concentrated a lot of wisdom in history. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Yes, there is a chess event. There are people who study chess methods, and some people summarize the chess principles when there are chess methods, and at the same time, there are also people who record them, so there are also some chess books, for example, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong wrote a volume of "Xiangjing", and then in the Southern Song Dynasty. There was a man named Liu Kezhuang who wrote the poem "Xiang Yi". The poem emphasizes that 'although chess is a qu art, the righteousness is quite subtle, you must concentrate and then you will have it, you must be legal and then you can surpass'. Liu Kezhuang also summed up a set of 'wonderful methods' for playing chess. For example: 'Handy cannon.' First of all, it is necessary to live the car, to line the hand cannon, to make the soldier firm, to enter the angle cannon, to rush the car, and to be the head cannon. Horizontal carts will lead the way; Broken elephant bureau, stroke must enter; Horse release bureau, car artillery first; river patrol car, catch up with the son; return to the heart cannon, break the elephant to get the law; roller artillery, the best way to resist the enemy; overlapping car, the exchange is appropriate. Mandarin duck horses, looking inside to protect the Sai, crab eye cannons, stopping cars on both banks, riding river cars, forbidding children, two rib cars, helping pawns to cross the river. Soldiers should be supplemented to prevent vehicles from taking pictures; These moves are still valuable for use in chess. Guo Songtao carefully explained the ancient chess method.

"General Guo, when the younger generation was in the Hanging Temple, he had studied the Confucian classics, sometimes when thinking about the theory of chess, the younger generation had an idea, and felt that there was actually a Confucian concept of the supremacy of monarchy in ancient chess, for example, the layout of the chess pieces on the chessboard, it was the general and the handsome who held the power in the center, and there were elephants and soldiers in the nine palaces, and there were chariots and horses on both sides to protect them, and there were cannons in front of the defense, and then in front of the soldiers and pawns in array, this will and the handsome like a king. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Haha, your view is very interesting, the chess pieces in the chessboard are indeed graded, but the old man has not thought of it to be related to the Confucian concept of kings, it seems that you have more ideas than the old man. Guo Songtao said.

"The younger generation is getting an axe in front of General Guo, General Guo is now like Beiyou's master, in front of you, Beiyou said the nonsense association in order to ask you for advice!" Xiao Beiyou said modestly.

"We have now become bosom friends, communicate with each other, the old man you just talked about likes to listen, you continue to talk, our conversation like this is the real 'free talk'!" Guo Songtao said.

The younger generation also felt that the way of military science and the concept of royal power were actually combined in chess theory, implying the importance of the king's control of military power. On the chessboard, the pawns and soldiers are lined up in the front, facing the strong enemy, which is a symbol of the ancient soldiers guarding the frontier and guarding the frontier. Soldiers and pawns can only advance but not retreat, march forward bravely, have no hesitation, the combat life is very hard, and the value of their lives is low, which reminds people of the ancient poems of 'the wind is sluggish and sluggish, easy to be cold, and the strong man is gone! Two symmetrical cannons, erected on the periphery of the 'Nine Palaces' of the chessboard, look down on the enemy across the river, move to attack, company to defend, waiting for the opportunity to bombard, hiding great power. The generals and marshals are guarded by eight chess pieces on both sides, the rook can be chased vertically and horizontally, the threat of the horse jumping day is very wide, and the soldiers and elephants are guarded by two sides, and the eight horses of the offensive and defensive alliance are formed around the generals and marshals. The chariot and horse are majestic, and the status of the general and the marshal is very noble, which is centered on the general and the handsome, and is listed at the bottom of the chessboard as a pattern of 'nine', highlighting the central position of the general and the handsome, in fact, it is a table of the supremacy of the king, and at the same time, there are five soldiers or five pawns guarding the border in front of the guard, forming the first line of defense, and after the soldiers and pawns, there are artillery only five steps away from the general and the marshal as the second line of defense. The layout and arrangement of the chess pieces on the chessboard not only give full play to the ancient concept of the 'Ninth Five-Year Plan', but also express the ancient political concept of the supremacy of 'royal power' and the king's military power. From this point of view, there is also a political principle in chess theory, which is worth pondering. The more Xiao Beiyou talked, the more excited he became, he felt that it was very pleasant to talk with Guo Songtao, and he talked endlessly.

Guo Songtao listened to Xiao Beiyou talk about interesting chess theory, he looked at the young man in front of him intently, he felt that this was the person he was looking for, Xiao Beiyou was not only extremely high in martial arts, but also he had knowledge and wisdom, only such a young man had the ability to be qualified as the successor of his formation method.

Guo Songtao looked at Xiao Beiyou with appreciation, he was moved, and he decided to teach Xiao Beiyou the secret of the formation he had learned in his life. (To be continued......)

PS: Although the online martial arts are broadcast on the Internet, it is also necessary for the online martial arts to absorb some of the skills, charm, and connotation of traditional novels, and the novel can be liked by people after reading it, which is of course very good, but if the online novel can make readers like it, and want to look back after it, isn't it better?
