Although the public opinion in the world all said that Ji Changge was suffering from a sudden illness and sought medical treatment indiscriminately.
But Da Shirong and Nan Shi did not dare to be careless. They both knew that for chess masters, they can already determine the opponent's height before they are twenty years old. In the future, there will not be many opportunities to increase their chess skills, and they will even lose their ability with age.
As the game grows, the level of playing will continue to decline.
It is very likely that Qu Tanmo had already played against Su Wen and was easily defeated by Su Wen, otherwise he would not have easily abdicated in favor of others and given up his own path as a historian.
After learning the news, both of them used all their strength to understand the matter.
However, the ability of historians to trace back time and the secret techniques of deduction by magicians have no effect.
Da Shi Rong was relatively calm. After all, he didn't have a strong desire to win. He just wanted to get second place and stabilize Jingchu's national destiny.
Even if they lose, whether Yan or Daliang wins, they will fight to the death for a period of time in the future. Jingchu can still rely on this period of time to slowly recover his strength, regardless of the overall situation.
Only Nanshi, the Taishi of Yan State, was quite worried about this.
He no longer cares about personal honor or disgrace.
However, Yan's southern expedition was at a critical juncture. If Yan's battlefield defeat was caused by him, it would be a great sin. He immediately had many plans in his mind, preparing to surprise Su Wen in the historian debate.
…
Bolang City.
A bloody battle has just ended.
In order to gain a greater advantage, Yan State invested 100,000 troops to storm the bridgeheads of the three cross-river bridges.
In order to defend the remaining half of the city, the defenders of Daliang could only destroy two of the bridges and started a bloody battle around the last main bridge.
After three days of bloody fighting, in which thousands of bodies were left behind, the two sides finally broke off contact and resumed the stalemate stage.
In this battle, the Yan Kingdom suffered 6,000 casualties and the Liang Kingdom suffered over 5,000 casualties. Judging from the numbers, the Liang Kingdom seemed to have had a small advantage.
However, the destruction of the two bridges also meant that Liang Kingdom would no longer seek to take the initiative to attack in a short period of time, but would instead enter a comprehensive defensive stage.
But it has to be said that when Daliang's army shifted to full-scale defense, the Yan army was unable to gain any advantage, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
Su Wen stood at a broken bridge and looked at the other side.
On the other side of the river, Taishi Nanshi from Yan State also stood on the bridge, smiling at Su Wen.
The historian of Jingchu, Da Shi Rong, was riding a floating ship, suspended in the middle, with a calm and unhurried attitude.
Just seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield, Da Shi Rong was also frightened.
The armies of both Yan and Liang were stronger than he imagined, and the brutality of the attacks and defenses on both sides was far greater than any war he had ever seen before.
"Is this the beginning of the debate?"
It was Su Wen's first time to participate in the historian debate, so he had time for the debate and could choose to face Da Shi Rong or Nan Shi first.
Even in the first game of chess, he could choose to move first or second.
For chess players, it is easy to gain an advantage by moving first and second.
"Can."
Da Shirong nodded slightly.
In this debate, he had the least desire to win, and he only wanted to stay in second place.
Of course, it would be best if he could win two games in a row and let the other two play extra games to tie the score.
After all, as a historian, it was his duty to bring good things to Jingchu for ten years.
Before leaving, King Chu and Ling Yi also explained that even if they lost the battle, it didn't matter, but they must create the possibility of deliberately letting the enemy go, so that the winner would have the idea that he owed Chu a great favor.
In this way, Chu State was still the beneficiary in the end, but the benefits were not maximized.
"very good……"
Nan Shi waved his hand and drew three chessboards in mid-air with pure literary spirit.
"please!"
As the initiator of this debate, Nan Shi was naturally well prepared.
Su Wen didn't take it seriously when he saw this scene.
He had already learned the details from Qu Tanmo. The chessboard needed to be supported by the power of an extraordinary person. If the chessboard fell apart during the chess game due to insufficient cultivation, then the initiator would be the first to lose and would no longer be eligible to participate in the debate.
"Everyone shows his chess!"
A Legalist extraordinary man rose into the air from a huge boat in the river, stood on the edge of the chessboard, and loudly announced the rules.
The debate between historians is not just a matter for the historians of the Three Kingdoms. It is a rare event for various scholars, and they will try their best to stand aside and watch.
After all, this is not only a good opportunity to look directly at the national destiny of various countries, but also a good opportunity to gain a close appreciation of the path of historians, which should not be missed easily.
The imperial courts of the Three Kingdoms will also send invitations to the Tianxia Academy, inviting the leaders of various universities and academies to participate. Firstly, it is to demonstrate the power and prestige of the country. Secondly, it wants to ensure fairness and justice in the debate process through the power of these extraordinary people from hundreds of schools.
This time, Ye Yiqiu, the head of the Taiping Academy of Jingchu Legalism, was also a witness jointly invited by the three courts. He would decide whether the behavior of the three parties in the debate was in compliance with the rules.
Once a violator is found, he can punish him in accordance with the regulations.
The surrounding extraordinary people participating in the meeting will spontaneously protect his safety and ensure that the historian debate can be conducted in a fair debate environment.
"Su Wen...work hard."
Qu Tanmo encouraged Su Wen from the sidelines.
"This is natural."
Su Wen said softly: "For some reason, I always have some bad premonitions in my heart. Maybe the Yan State will take advantage of the debate to launch a new round of attacks on Bolang City. Please remind the guard to be careful."
Bolang City was a natural fortress in the Liang Dynasty. Once Bolang City completely fell to the Yan Kingdom's cavalry, the next three dozen counties and counties would be undefended, and half of the country would be lost.
So Su Wen didn't dare to be careless.
"Don't worry, General Wang Qi is here to take charge, so don't worry."
Qu Tanmo still has confidence in Wang Qi.
After all, Wang Qi's performance during this period of time has been remarkable. Qu Tanmo is familiar with history and naturally knows that among the famous commanders and generals in the past, there are not many who can compare with Wang Qi.
Once Wang Qi can be promoted in this battle, most of the dangers of the Liang Dynasty will be solved.
Su Wenwen wanted to say that he was worried about Wang Qi.
Although Ji Changge and Wang Qi formulated the strategic and tactical goals, he had a general understanding.
But after visiting Bolang City in person, Su Wen discovered that the development of the battle was completely different from what Wang Qi had described.
In his opinion, Wang Qi did not seem to be looking for an opportunity for a decisive battle. His behavior at this time was that he wanted to retreat deeper and deeper, giving up not only Bolang City, but also the three lands. But he couldn't.
It is said that all three lands were given up. As long as the Yan army occupied Hedong and Hexi, they would occupy the most fertile land in the north of the Liang Dynasty. In the next period of time, the Daliang Dynasty would have a food shortage and its national strength would be weakened by at least ten percent.
If it is divided into 1%, it will only become more vulnerable to the invasion of the Yan people.
So Su Wen was wary.
If it weren't for the urgent matter of the historian's debate, Su Wen would have really wanted to have a good talk with Wang Qi, and he must not let Wang Qi give up on Bolang City.
Su Wen suppressed the worries in his heart and slowly floated into the air, flying towards the chessboard.
The moment he floated in the air, he raised a seal, and the colors of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers suddenly changed.
There are countless golden lights rising from the mountains, the earth, rivers, lakes and seas, converging into black and white chess pieces and surrounding Su Wen.
The seal in Su Wen's hand is the jade seal of the Daliang Kingdom. Only the jade seal of the country can condense the national destiny, not only Daliang, Jingchu, and Yan.
Therefore, every time there is a debate between historians, the imperial seal is a treasure that historians must carry.
When Su Wen was concentrating on the national destiny, Da Shi Rong and Nan Shi also did the same thing.
It's just that the national destiny condensed in the two of them seems to be much more than that condensed by Su Wen.
Su Wen disagreed. After all, Daliang Dynasty has been experiencing constant disasters in recent years. First, Rouran invaded the border, and then a family betrayed them. Now, the Yan Kingdom has invaded every door and door, and invaded with the strength of the whole country. If the national destiny of Daliang Dynasty shows its vigor,
When things are booming, that's when things really get crazy.
"Guess first!"
Ye Yiqiu's voice echoed between heaven and earth.
There are three boxes covered with magical objects in front of him. There are three games of chess, and the players have to guess the black and white inside.
The one who guesses correctly goes first.
"Su Wen played Nan Shi, Nan Shi guessed correctly, and Nan Shi held the white chess piece."
"The south stone plays against Da Shi Rong. Da Shi Rong guesses correctly. Da Shi Rong holds the white chess piece."
"Da Shi Rong played against Su Wen. Su Wen guessed correctly, and Su Wen held the white chess piece."
"Three rounds of chess, the one with the most winners wins. If there is a tie between the second and third players, extra games will be played to determine the winner... The chess pieces are determined by the national destiny. If there are not enough chess pieces, the loser..."
Ye Yiqiu spelled out the rules of debate among historians one by one.
Su Wen listened carefully. Although they were all the rules Qu Tanmo had said, it was meaningful to hear them again.
"Those who lack national luck can use the following methods to obtain chess pieces..."
When he heard Ye Yiqiu talking about supplementary rules, Su Wen was a little stunned.
Qu Tanmo never told him that once the chess pieces displayed by the national destiny are used up, there is still the possibility of replenishing them.
This actually made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he knew very well that the current national destiny of the Liang Dynasty could not produce three complete sets of chess pieces.
In fact, the national destiny of the three countries cannot do this.
But based on past experience, it doesn't matter if there are not enough chess pieces.
After all, many times, before a game of chess is even halfway through, one party has collapsed and cannot continue fighting.
Once in a state of anxiety, historians will also make choices. They will often give up a game of chess as a price, freeing up chess pieces to work hard for the subsequent fight, ensuring that they can sprint to second place with all their strength and remain invincible.
"With the knowledge of historians, and by sacrificing the secrets of historians that you have mastered, you can obtain the corresponding power of national destiny as chess pieces..."
"Is this still possible?"
Su Wen was shocked at first, and then secretly ecstatic.
He doesn't know much else, but he knows a lot of secret histories, and they are all heavyweight.
This secret history knowledge is enough to exchange for a lot of "chess pieces".
Thinking of this, Su Wen took a long breath.
With enough chess pieces, he knew that it would be difficult to lose in these three games.
