The Xianbei people's felt tents are made of huge trees as pillars, and the four corners of the tent are tied with ox tendon ropes to withstand strong winds on the plateau. The Chinese army tent of Wu King Murong Chui is particularly strong and tall, and the inner wall is decorated with bird and animal cloud patterns, which is exquisite and gorgeous.
At that time, everyone in the tent held their breath and swallowed their voices. They all looked at Chen Caozhi and listened to his answer.
Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian, who were sitting behind Chen Cao, also felt their hearts beating faster. They could feel that the soldiers hiding behind the curtain were eager to move. They couldn't help but want to hold the handle of the knife at their waists, but they couldn't help themselves.
live--
Just listen to Chen Caozhi's voice, which is calm and unhurried: "I have lived up to the trust of An Shigong and come sincerely. But when I saw him today, I felt that the young Shebailang who was so generous and sent thousands of miles of love no longer exists. There is only one
He’s just a jealous, narrow-minded, rude and boring warrior——"
Everyone was pale.
Murong Chui stared at Chen Caozhi. Chen Caozhi looked calm. Chen Caozhi did not mean to provoke Murong Chui deliberately, but because he knew Murong Chui's character. Murong Chui was broad-minded, brave, tolerant, and could not express his joy or anger.
The fact that he is now pretending to be mad at Jiangzuo celebrities is a strategy adopted to target Murong Chui's character. If he is facing the narrow-minded, greedy and jealous Taifu Murong Ping, then he will naturally have something else to say.
Murong Chui stared for a moment, then changed his expression solemnly and said: "I am rude, I wonder what kind of gift An Shigong asked Chen Envoy to send? I am really interested in it."
Chen Cao said: "If this is the case, why is the king hiding the soldiers behind the scenes?"
Murong Chui smiled and said: "The army has to do this." He whispered a few words to the marching Sima beside him, and the army Sima turned behind the scenes. In a moment, all the soldiers retreated, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became relaxed.
Chen Cao ordered Huang Xiaotong to present the pair of gold wine vessels, as well as the calligraphy written by Xie An to Murong Chui.
He can also appreciate it and praised: "I have long heard that Wang Yishao of Jiangzuo, Xie Anshi, is the first calligrapher. When I saw it today, it was really charming and charming, which made people fascinated."
There are only a few lines in Xie An's calligraphy - "Recalling that in the past, I was given a white wolf's body as a gift. I don't know how this thing came from thousands of miles away, and I don't know what I should repay. For thirty years, I still haven't let go. Now I want to
I sent the letter but forgot to say anything when I wrote it. I just felt that my youth was lovely when I was a child, so I took a pair of gold coins from my desk as a gift in return."
Murong Chui smiled when he read the letter, "Xie Anshi from Dongshan is a truly elegant man. This feeling is really strange. He led the troops to capture the city of Luoyang from Jin Dynasty, but Xie An recalled his childhood memories with him. What's even more strange is that Xie An,
But the elegant Chen Caozhi in front of him, Xie An's Piaotianwen, only thought that this was Chen Caozhi's quick wit after being accidentally captured by the Yan army, and secretly praised in his heart: "This Chen Caozhi is indeed extraordinary, not to mention other things."
, But with this courage and magnanimity, few people can match it. If you want to get out of trouble this time, it all depends on Chen Caozhi's wisdom." There was silence at the moment, only Chen Cao's horse was watching.
Murong Chui couldn't guess and was very confused. He didn't know how to deal with the two envoys from Qin and Jin. If Chen Caozhi really treated Chen Caozhi as an envoy from Xie An to send gifts and sent them back, Murong Chui would never want to do so.
If we don’t repatriate them, how should we treat Chen and Xi? It’s obviously inappropriate to treat them as prisoners——
It was rare for Murong Chui to make such a difficult decision. He first ordered the military cook to prepare breakfast for the envoys of Qin and Jin. He wrote a letter in a hurry and ordered it to be quickly sent to Gong County to present to his fourth brother Murong Ke, King of Taiyuan.
Murong Ke made up his mind and postponed the march to Luoyang. After all, the ambassadors of Qin and Jin were involved in a serious matter. Careless handling would lead to Qin and Jin joining forces to fight against Yan——
Xi Bao quietly said to Chen Cao: "Envoy Chen, Murong Chui seems to be in a good mood. Why not take this opportunity to ask him to let us go south?"
Chen Cao said: "Haste makes waste. We can only save our lives first to avoid losing our dignity, and then Xu Tu can escape. Now we want to go south. How can Murong Chui agree? I'm afraid he will be humiliated!"
Xi Bao sighed, Chen Caozhi was right, but he couldn't think of it at this time. Fortunately, Murong Chui treated him politely, so he didn't have to worry about losing his life for the time being, so his panic subsided.
In the evening, Murong Ke's reply arrived, instructing Murong Chui to send Chen Caozhi, Xi Bao and others to Gong County. He wanted to meet the two envoys who had thrown themselves into a trap, and he also said that he wanted to go to Yanshi in person.
However, the old sores he suffered when he conquered Ran Min recurred, so he could not come. Moreover, Qin's envoys were here. If they attacked Luoyang in a hurry, they might be counterattacked by the Qin army. In this way, Qin and Jin were truly allies, so Murong
He ordered Murong Chui to temporarily station his troops in Yanshi to observe the movements of the Qin and Jin armies, and move with his camera to avoid fighting with Qin and Jin at the same time——
That night, Murong Chui hosted a banquet for the envoys of Qin and Jin in Yanshi City and said: "My brother, the King of Taiyuan, has heard that the two envoys have arrived. I would like to meet with them to discuss major issues of the Three Kingdoms. Tomorrow the King of Japan will
Send two noble envoys to Gong County."
Shi Xibao, the prime minister of Di Qin, drank a few glasses of wine and plucked up his courage and said: "I have accompanied the envoy Chen to deliver gifts to the King of Wu. Since the gifts have been delivered, I hope that the king will be kind and righteous and allow us to return home."
Murong Chui seemed not to have heard of it and just ordered someone to persuade him to drink.
Xi Bao was helpless and did not dare to mention the matter of returning home. He was depressed. He was sent as an envoy to Jiangdong, how could he want to go to Yan State? But Chen Caozhi didn't seem to care about going to Gong County.
He seems to be taking things easy.
After the banquet, Chen Caozhi proposed to have a game with Murong Chui. He saw the chess set in front of Murong Chui's case yesterday and knew that Murong Chuiya was good at this.
Murong Chui said: "I heard that Jiangdong implemented the law of nine-rank officials in Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. In Jianye, Chen envoy had a verbal battle with the great Zhongzheng of various states and was elected as a first-rank official. I wonder if chess skills are also classified as high-rank?"
Chen Cao said: "Appraising music, chess, calligraphy and painting is only done by good people and cannot convince others. However, it is recognized that Fan Xuanping of Nanyang and Xie Anshi of Chen County are the first in chess. If they are unfamiliar with chess, they should barely be able to reach the third level."
Murong Chui smiled and started playing chess. He gave courtesy to the distant guests and Chen Caozhi took the lead.
There were four seats on the chessboard first. Chen Caozhi placed the small flying stone on the upper left corner, and Murong Chui clamped it wide. Chen Caozhi then clamped the sunspot on the upper left corner from the other direction, forming a double flying swallow pattern——
In Shuangfeiyan, the strong does not suppress the weak, but the theory of Go in the Wei and Jin Dynasties has not yet developed to this point. Murong Chui pressed on Kuanjia's side. Although he did not necessarily suffer a loss at the time, but later in the game, against the other hanging horn
The pressure on White's piece will be slightly smaller, so it will be considered as White's gain.
When it comes to using troops, Chen Caozhi is very self-aware. He, a paper talker who has only read a few volumes of military books, is completely unable to compare with Murong Chui, who started leading troops at the age of thirteen. The Battle of Fangtou with Huan Wen epitomizes this.
Due to Murong Chui's military wisdom, Chen Caozhi once thought that even if he knew the key to the victory or defeat of the war three years later, and if he served as Huan Wen's adviser and Huan Wen would listen to his advice, he would not be sure that he could win.
Murong Chui, because water has no permanent shape and soldiers have no constant power, Murong Chui will change accordingly according to the changes in Jin army's tactics. Chen Caozhi does not expect to defeat Murong Chui head-on on the battlefield, but he has other ways to deal with Murong Chui, and now
, he needs to defeat Murong Chui on a two-foot chessboard, this is possible——
Murong Chui rarely took the initiative in his chess, he played steadily and never let his pieces get into trouble. He was waiting for Chen Caozhi to make mistakes. Once he found that his opponent had made a big mistake, he would never let the opportunity slip away. He would act like
Tigers out of the cage are usually extremely ferocious, but Chen Caozhi's knowledge in Go is far beyond that of Murong Chui. He used an advanced deception to lure Murong Chui into a trap. This deception was inspired by the later Japanese "Go Development".
"Yang Lun", the cheating moves and life-and-death problems in it can stump professional master chess players. Chen Caozhi was lucky enough to remember a few moves. At this time, he took advantage of the situation and turned his part into the advanced cheating chess shape——
Murong Chui cautiously thought that Chen Caozhi's white chess had already taken advantage of the layout. This should be a good opportunity. If he didn't seize it, he might not have such a good opportunity in the future. He immediately volleyed in, hoping to kill the chess piece.
——
When Chen Caozhi saw that Murong Chui had fallen into the trap, he counterattacked unceremoniously, wanting to teach Murong Chui a profound lesson. A person would have a little respect for those who could defeat him, no matter what aspect -
Murong Chui knew that he had been fooled. He frowned and stared at the chessboard. He took a long time to respond. Chen Caozhi refused to let go. He caught Murong Chui's wrong move and chased him hard. White's layout was lagging behind.
Now that Black is facing this counterattack in the middle game, Black has no hope. It is a kind of grace to admit defeat at this time, but Murong Chui did not admit defeat, but persisted one move after another, as if he was still waiting for Chen Caozhi to come out.
Big missed move——
Chen Caozhi shook his head imperceptibly, disapproving of Murong Chui's chess skills, but he soon discovered that Murong Chui was not expecting him to make a mistake in an attempt to turn defeat into victory, but was torturing himself for his own mistakes that led to defeat, because now
The overall situation on the chessboard has been decided, and there is no big battle that can influence the chessboard. He insists on knowing that the situation is hopeless, and has no other explanation except torturing himself. Murong Chui is a tolerant person, and he does not allow himself to make mistakes, even if it is just one.
Game of chess.
In this game, Chen Caozhi won the game with eight and a half pieces. Murong Chui had recovered from the defeat and insisted on finishing the hopeless game. He was also adjusting his mood and said with a smile: "Chen Envoy
He is only a third-rank Go player and is already so powerful. I really don’t know how superb the first-rank An Shigong is." The conversation changed and he said: "Envoy Chen, please rest early. I will send a sergeant to see you and Ambassador Xi off tomorrow morning.
Go to Gong County to meet my fourth brother."
Chen Cao said: "I and more than 300 of Xi Changshi's entourage will also accompany you."
Murong Chui looked at Chen Caozhi and asked, "What does Ambassador Chen want to do?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "What can three hundred infantry do? They are just for glory, otherwise they are no different from prisoners."
Murong Chui pondered for a while and said: "To avoid unexpected conflicts, all the bows and arrows of your accompanying sergeants will be temporarily handed over to our army for safekeeping, and the waist knives can be kept."
