The black and white chess pieces landed on the chessboard one after another. The two sides moved very quickly, with almost no pause. It was not like sitting opposite each other, talking with hands in a calm manner, but more like a life-for-life fight on the battlefield, constantly forcing the other side.
Use your moves until the opponent shows a weakness.
"Eighteen pines and sixteen."
"What does this chess game mean?" Xiao Shilian took a deep breath and couldn't help but murmured. Looking at the changes on the chessboard, the two people's rapid moves were finally interrupted at this time. Xiao Shilian's eyes kept looking at the chessboard.
I scanned it up and down, not knowing what I was thinking about.
Li Xingchen picked up the chess pieces and tapped the chessboard gently: "Brother Boqing, you are a true gentleman watching chess without speaking, let alone you are playing chess."
Xiao Shilian said "Oh" angrily: "Then I can't do it, seventeen stars and seventeen."
Li Xingchen glanced at Xiao Shilian with great interest: "Brother Boqing, if you go like this, don't blame me for being ruthless. There is such a big dragon on the chessboard, can you really not save it?"
Startled for a moment, Xiao Shilian followed Li Xinchen's gaze and couldn't help but say "Ah". His big dragon had been surrounded by Li Xinchen's chess pieces at some point. He wanted to save him at this time, but it was already too late because he had lost the first move.
.
At that moment, Xiao Shilian angrily reached out and pulled the chessboard, messing up the chessboard: "That's all, I lost this game, I lost!"
Seeing Xiao Shilian's expression of frustration and regret intertwined, Li Xingchen couldn't laugh or cry: "If you lose, you lose. Why should you act like a frustrated little daughter-in-law? My Lian'er is not as pretentious as you when she is angry!"
Xiao Shilian rolled his eyes: "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since the main account started. You're really not worried at all. I didn't even have the heart to play chess just now, otherwise I won't lose to you next time."
Li Xingchen frowned and said: "Brother Xiao, it only took me one day to learn Go. Brother Xiao can definitely beat my younger brother even if he plays casually."
Xiao Shilian snorted: "If you didn't know the rules at all when I taught you, I really thought you were pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, how many people in the world can play Go like this in one day?"
Li Xingchen smiled vaguely. In fact, he had learned Go in later generations. Although it was mostly a hobby, he knew a lot of rules and had competed with several masters from the older generation. His chess skills were definitely not bad.
.
What's more important is that compared to this era, Li Xinchen had many new chess moves evolved from later generations. In the eyes of Xiao Shilian and others, his moves were tantamount to random collisions that "didn't follow the rules", but in the end Li Xinchen could always surprise him.
This time, Li Xingchen repeated his old tricks, and Xiao Shilian couldn't think of a way to solve it in just one day. Coupled with all the worries in his heart, he naturally got the trick again. By the time he came to his senses, it was too late.
.
"The most important thing in doing anything is to concentrate on it," Li Xingchen said while clearing the chessboard. "Since I am playing chess, I must concentrate on winning you. As for the other matters, they are just external things. What does it have to do with someone on the chessboard?"
Xiao Shilian knocked on the table: "Okay, okay, you started pretending to be serious after you won the chess game. Tell me, are you really not worried at all?"
Li Xingchen spread his hands: "Don't even think about who the Governor and your father are. In addition, there is Brother Pei beside you. If the three of them join forces, they can't suppress a little Fan Meng.
That’s unreasonable. If something happens in the camp today, I don’t think we need to go to the capital. What’s the difference between it and dying?”
"Having said that, it's just me..." Xiao Shilian stood up and paced back and forth, hitting his left hand on his right hand, "Well, if I can make more meritorious deeds early, as long as I can join the army, I can too
Went to the camp and listened."
"After this battle, hasn't the imperial court fulfilled your wish?" Li Xingchen chuckled, "Brother Xiao, you can't be dissatisfied. Brother Xiao joined the army at the age of twenty, which is also rare. Brother Xiao
It should be cherished.”
"Okay, brother, don't drop your book bag here in a hurry!" Xiao Shilian stamped his foot, stretched out his hand to grab Li Xinchen, "Come on, come with me to listen outside the big tent."
——————————————————-
Seeing Wu Mingche sitting down slowly, all the generals in the camp subconsciously held their breath.
Although Xiao Mohe, Zhongjun General Fan Meng, Ningyuan General Ren Zhong, and Dianwei General Pei Zilie were all famous generals, there was still a gap compared to Wu Mingche.
In the hearts of many soldiers in Nanchen, Wu Mingche, who led them across the river and regained Huainan in consecutive battles, was like a god of war. Even though Wu Mingche was old and sick, his status in the hearts of the soldiers was still much higher than that of the other generals.
This is why when Chen Xu was planning the Battle of Luliang, he still had to make Wu Mingche his commander, even though he knew that Wu Mingche's health might have problems at any time, because only Wu Mingche could make many soldiers willingly follow him in the battle, and only Wu Mingche could give him the best advice.
They bring hope of victory.
It's a pity that this hope in history was shattered in the face of the cruel comparison of the strength of the enemy and ourselves. Fortunately, the trajectory of history has been changed by the emergence of Li Xingchen. After the Luliang War, Wu Mingche, who could command the three armies, was still there, while Nan Chen's army
, is still there.
At this time, sitting on the bed in the front was still the Governor of Nanchen, Wu Mingche.
"Your Majesty's edict of commendation has come down," Wu Mingche said calmly, "During the Battle of Luliang, my body was declining and it was difficult to support me. Fortunately, General Wu Yi turned the tide. This is known to everyone. This time, His Majesty has appointed General Wu Yi as the governor of South Yanzhou.
The military governor of the six states of North Xuzhou, South Yanzhou, North Yanzhou, South Qingzhou, Beiqingzhou, and Qiaozhou was granted the title of General Zuowei and Governor."
The only thing that was quiet in the big tent was Wu Mingche's old voice. In fact, these titles and identities on Xiao Mohe belong to Wu Mingche. His Majesty's conferring these titles on Xiao Mohe is just a recognition of Xiao Mohe as the next generation of the military.
successor.
This is expected by everyone.
And Wu Mingche also had no intention of giving the others a chance to speak: "I am getting old, and I wrote to ask your Majesty to be dismissed and returned to the countryside, but your Majesty persuaded you to stay. He was deeply affectionate and I couldn't refuse, but your Majesty was considerate of the old minister and asked him to return to the capital to serve as Sikong.
, Therefore, from the moment this edict arrives and the old minister accepts it, all military affairs here will be handed over to General Zuowei."
After a pause, Wu Mingche continued: "What General Zuowei said is what I want to say; what General Zuowei did is what I want to do. All officers and men should listen to General Zuowei's orders as I do. You all understand
?!"
The old man's voice suddenly rose, and all the generals in the entire camp had different expressions.
A strange silence enveloped the camp, and Wu Mingche waved his sleeves fiercely: "Do you understand?!"
In an instant, the great governor who might run out of oil at any time seemed to disappear, replaced by the high-spirited General Zhenqian who led his people across the river. In the direction of his finger, there was only blood and fire and invincibility!
At this moment, Wu Mingche seems as if he was unstoppable back then.
