Great Wei Nengchen

In the north of Luoyang City is Beiman Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles. There are many birds and animals in the mountain, so the royal family specially opened up a royal garden with a radius of more than [-] miles here. In autumn and winter, it is the royal hunting ground. There are soldiers and horses patrolling specially every day, and ordinary farmers and woodcutters can't enter at all; because Emperor Hanling was greedy for pleasure all the year round, and his health was not good, so he didn't like shooting and hunting. All kinds of wild animals have been able to multiply and live, and the number is already very considerable.

Now it is the end of winter, and there is a scene of desolation between the sky and the earth; the woodland around the Royal Garden is even more empty; although it is a temporary camp, Xiao Yi is not sloppy at all. The cavalry galloped.

After choosing the location, everyone quickly started to build the barracks. The barracks were densely covered with banners and spears were planted all over the place. A deep ditch was built, with dense upside-down spikes in the ditch, leaving only zigzag roads at the entrance and exit for people and horses to pass; a tall watchtower was also erected, and archers on it were at any time for twelve hours. standby.It can be said that under such a perfect defense system, it is impossible to encircle the camp set up by Xiao Yi without more than five times the troops, and to conquer it, it is possible to invest at least ten times more troops.

After all the arrangements were in place, Daniel and Ma Liu walked into Xiao Yi's big tent together suddenly. Seeing that the two were restless and hesitant to speak, they listened carefully, and there were dense footsteps outside the tent. Apparently there are tons of people walking around...

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yi immediately understood with a smile, as the saying goes: "The way to train soldiers is to relax one piece at a time. In addition to strict military discipline, you also have to properly let your soldiers relax."

Thinking of this, he glanced at the red-faced cow and horse again, and Xiao Yi said: "I know everyone will be dazzled when they enter the city, so how about this, let the brothers change into casual clothes, and take turns to go into the city for a while." Fanba, but there are three chapters of the agreement;

First, it is not allowed to take any weapons out of the camp.

Second, don't make trouble in the city.

Third, no staying overnight.

Those who disobey the order shall be beheaded! "

"promise!……"

Da Niu hurriedly made a military salute and agreed loudly; Xiao Yi usually governs the army very strictly, and his subordinates love and respect him, so everyone pushes Niu and Ma to come here to ask for orders, and they all know that they are Xiao Yi's fellow villagers. Unexpectedly, they got the military order to go out so smoothly, and the two immediately ran outside overjoyed. Soon, there were cheers from many soldiers outside the tent...

"Crazy and proud while you're young!" Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel his heart move when he heard the cheers outside, "I was originally a 17-year-old boy, but I was forced by life and fate to become mature and prudent, but I don't know why. I have lost so much youthful happiness that I should have had...; now that Luoyang City is a gentle and rich place, wouldn’t it be a pity not to have some fun?”

As soon as he said he would leave, Xiao Yi made up his mind, and immediately took off his armor and changed into a black robe. Afterwards, he led the stunned cow and horse, shoulder to shoulder and shoulder to shoulder, towards the city of Luoyang. At this moment, that sunny little Taoist priest seems to be back again...

Walking into the city, you can see that the residential area is orderly and symmetrically distributed; on the wide and straight streets, the shops are like clouds, pedestrians are like rain, and the peddlers are shouting one after another. Everything here is worthy of future generations. It was a work of art; Xiao Yi, a traveler who had visited countless shopping malls, was dazzled by the sight, and soon the three of them were covered with all kinds of things, big and small...

The royal palace on the highland in the distance is majestic and majestic; in the east, the sound of reading from Taixue is spreading loudly; in the west, the morning bell and evening drum of Baima Temple are thought-provoking; This is by no means comparable to those modern cities full of steel and concrete and car exhaust in later generations.Thinking that the bustling capital in front of him would soon be destroyed by the flames of war, Xiao Yi also felt heartbroken, "If possible, try to preserve this city that has been built with a lot of manpower and painstaking efforts..."

How to find the most prosperous and fun place in a strange city?

The answer is simple, just go to the place with the largest flow of people; sure enough, the three of them followed the crowd and soon came to the entrance of a huge building; On a large plaque, there are three gilded seal script characters --- "Tianjilou!"

No need to go in, just look at the decoration outside, and the elegant temperament of the guests coming in and out of the door, you can know that this place is not an ordinary place;

"In Xia Yuyang-Xiao Yi, if you dare to ask this gentleman's name, where is this place?" He casually stopped a green-clothed scribe who was about to enter, and after politely stepping forward to salute, Xiao Yi began to inquire about the news. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles. Intelligence is important at any time.

"I'm Jiang Gan, a native of Jiujiang; this is your first visit to Luoyang, right?" The green-clothed scribe first reported his name respectfully, and then said with a look of affirmation.

"Jiujiang Jianggan? Oh my god! Luoyang is really a place of geomantic omen, I never thought that he would be a big celebrity just by stopping on the street," Xiao Yi looked at the handsome 26-year-old scribe in front of him. I couldn't help but think to myself: "The novel 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' is really unbelievable. How could such a handsome scribe be portrayed as a nerdy bookworm..."

The official history of "Three Kingdoms" describes that Jiang Gan-"has a good appearance, is known for his talent and debate, and is alone in the river and Huaihe River, and he is not against him."As for Jiang Gan during the Battle of Chibi, although he was repeatedly played in the palm of his hand, after Zhou Yu's "pull the book and kill the envoy", he dared to cross the river alone twice in a light boat to scout the enemy's situation. A man of great courage.And Xiao Yi has always respected the brave.

"Oh? How did you know that, sir?"

"I don't even know about the famous 'Tianji Tower', so it's the first time I've come to Luoyang!"

Unexpectedly, he was despised for asking the way. Seeing Jiang Gan's expression of an unforgivable sin as if he didn't know the word 'Tianjilou', Xiao Yi's face was immediately blackened.

However, from Jiang Gan's mouth, I got a piece of extremely detailed information. It turns out that this "Tianji Building" is the first-class consumer gold cave in Luoyang City. There are food and drink, singing and dancing, entertainment, chess and gambling... it can be said to be everything. , there are only things you can't think of here, and there is almost nothing you can't play; as for the owner behind the "Tianji Building", no one knows, but it is definitely not an ordinary person who can build such a luxurious restaurant in this location .

And the 'Tianji Building' is also very picky about the guests it entertains. Apart from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, most of the people who can come here are all kinds of talents who are underappreciated here to gather, make friends, exchange various information, and wait for the opportunity to become an official; , there are also a large number of wealthy families who will station their staff here for a long time, looking for those outstanding talents for their own use; it is said that the competition behind the scenes is still very fierce...

There are almost no ordinary people here, and even many ministers and ministers will come here to sit here in plain clothes in their spare time, discussing some things that cannot be stated clearly in the court...

"Since it's your first time here, let's go in with me, and I can give some explanations to you..." Unexpectedly, Jiang Gan is still a warm-hearted person, and looking at his familiar appearance, it is obvious that he has been here a lot before. Look for opportunities.

"So, respect is worse than obedience!" After thanking, Xiao Yi and the three followed Jiang Gan and walked into the 'Tianji Building' together, "I didn't expect this to be the talent exchange center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, interesting! Interesting ..."

73. Chapter 73 Black and White

Greatly beyond Xiao Yi's expectations, the interior of Tianji Building is not a traditional floor partition type, but a structure similar to the later Tongzi Building. It is divided into three floors, and each floor is distributed with various private rooms. From the outside, you know that the inside must be extremely luxurious.The hollow hall is square, forming a pattern of a round sky and a place with the round dome above, which looks simple and natural; the center of the hall is a chess arena in the shape of a gossip yin-yang fish in black and white, which is more than ten feet high; At this time, there was a young scholar and a white-haired old man playing fiercely on the board. Next to the two of them was a huge chessboard with a length of one foot and a width of one foot. Two boys in Tsing Yi completely copied the situation of the two chess players. on it for the surrounding guests to watch.

Go, it can be said that it was an entertainment for all people in ancient China. From the high officials to the nobles, down to the traffickers and pawns, almost everyone is obsessed with it; especially in this period, the gentry respected Go very much, and scholars used it to exercise their talents. The samurai used it to figure out the art of war, and the hermit used it to cultivate his sentiments. Countless military affairs and political intrigues in history were completed in this small chess game with simple black and white hands...

Although it is just a simple black and white chess piece, between this small and exquisite chessboard composed of nineteen rows and nineteen vertical columns, there is a world of its own, which combines the number of the sky on the top and the principle of yin and yang on the bottom; Weighing, killing and punishing... It can be said that all the philosophical thoughts of human beings can be reflected in this square inch.

Jiang Gan explained from the side that this Tianji Building is not only a place where talents gather for banquets, but also the No. [-] chess club in Luoyang City; the owner here also spent a lot of money to hire some Go masters to sit here, called "Dr. ", and set a rule: Whoever can defeat the challenges of all chess doctors and masters from all walks of life here will not only get a huge bonus immediately, but also get the honorary title of 'Master of Chess Country', and leave his name here , engraved plaque to show off.

High honor naturally also means high difficulty. Although this move has attracted scholars from all walks of life to challenge, it is a pity that no one can really defeat all chess players from all walks of life. There is really no strongest, only stronger, but today The situation... seems a bit special.

It was almost noon, and the building was already overcrowded, so the four had no choice but to sit down at a table in a relatively remote corner. Immediately, several beautiful maids brought all kinds of snacks and drinks, and looked at the pretty girls The maids, Niu and Ma's eyes almost didn't fall off, and even Jiang Gan, a frequent visitor here, couldn't help sneaking a few glances; When all food and beverages are free, in addition to whet your appetite, you can't help but marvel at the generosity of the owner!

It is said that there is no free lunch in the world, but here it is, but as long as you think about it deeply, you will understand that there is a deep meaning behind this free lunch. Snacks and fine wine are of course valuable, but if you can Gathering the best talents from all over the world for your own use is a huge profit.

On the chess world, the game between the young man and the old man has reached a critical moment. The young man holds the white, and the old man holds the black. Sneak attacking, luring the enemy to go deep, all kinds of tactics emerge in endlessly, the fighting is extremely brutal, and it seems that white chess has the upper hand.

From the whispers of the spectators nearby, Xiao Yi learned that the young man on the stage came to Tianji Building for the first time today, and he became a blockbuster as soon as he appeared on the stage. He even defeated three "chess doctors" in a row in the morning, and won. Clean and neat, convincing; In the end, Tianjilou had no choice but to invite the oldest and most powerful chess player 'Dr.

Xiao Yi was also a hardcore Go enthusiast in the original time and space (all homeboys seem to like to play chess). Although he is only an amateur player, he is very obsessed with it. Back then, he had fought countless Go games in the game room on the Internet. Although the masters have always had a poor record, with fewer victories and more losses, their enthusiasm has not diminished at all. It can be said that they have been defeated repeatedly and watched many classic chess games.

I saw the young man on the chess world, at the age of 27 or [-], with reddish complexion, straight nose and straight mouth, eyebrows flying into the temples, clear cheeks, and a face full of fortitude, and his chess style was harmonious. Like a human being, extremely fierce, at this moment, under his control, white chess continuously launches wave after wave of violent attacks, moves and fights to kill, with an indomitable momentum, the only kill of the 'Dr. Sun' can only parry , without the power to fight back, seeing black chess retreating steadily, it has been defeated.

Finally, looking at the chess game that was beyond recovery, the white-haired "Dr. Chess" let out a long sigh. After a little silence, he glanced at the opponent with admiration mixed with reluctance, and then grabbed a handful of sunspots and threw them On the chessboard, this is called "throwing and admitting defeat" in Go terminology; then he walked down the chess arena with a sad face, "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead", this era should be the stage for those young people...

Immediately, there was an uproar among the people in the audience, even 'Dr. Sun', who is the most skilled in chess, is no match for this young man. Could it be that today there will be an expert who will be engraved with a plaque and leave his name? Many people secretly inquired about the young man's background and background, and it seemed that they wanted to recruit him.

"I'm Xia Tianfeng, whose name is Yuanhao, and a native of Hebei, may I ask who else is willing to come to the stage to teach you?" The young man stood up and bowed his hands to the surroundings. , as long as he yells three times in a row and no one comes to the stage within a stick of incense, then he can engrave a plaque and leave his name, and the benefits that follow, besides a generous bonus, can even He was immediately worth a hundred times, and he became the target of those wealthy families scrambling to recruit.

Listening to Tian Feng's yelling, although many people in the audience were eager to try, none of them dared to go on stage. The outstanding record of defeating four "chess doctors" in a row is really daunting; even Jiang Gan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yi, With a look of resentment on his face, he stood up several times, and then sat down helplessly. He had no choice but to play even an ordinary "chess doctor" with his chess strength. At this time, he was only humiliating himself by going up.As for exhausting one's energy and physical strength by fighting with wheels, and winning in the end despicably, it is not the style of scholars in this era, and it will attract boundless ridicule.

At this time Tian Feng had already shouted for the third time, looking around but no one dared to compete on the stage, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, stood up, and walked towards the chess arena in big strides amidst the surprise around him. The life of commanding the army has given him the preliminary temperament of a commander; although he is only one person, he walks with the momentum as if there are thousands of horses and thousands of troops behind him...

Tian Feng, who was complacent on the altar, suddenly saw a man in black walking up, and quickly took a closer look, only to see that this man was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, a wolf's back and a wasp waist , a handsome little face was slightly dark, especially those two eyes, which were as black as ink, as if they could devour everything. As the saying goes, looks are born from the heart, seeing Xiao Yi's outstanding appearance, Tian Feng couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart. Han, not daring to underestimate him at all, took the lead in saluting.

"Yuyang Xiao Yi, please enlighten me!" After returning the gift, Xiao Yi didn't say much, and took a black chess piece, ready to start the game.

When the ancients played chess, there was no rule of the later generations that the black came first and the white came later. Instead, they grabbed a handful of chess pieces and guessed odd or even pairs.

Sure enough, it was still such a strong style of chess, after the white piece gained a firm footing, it immediately launched a fierce offensive, using all its strength to fight and kill, with a tendency to overwhelm the sky; Facing the pressing white piece every step of the way, Xiao Yi smiled slightly , The style of chess is not chaotic at all, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, it just keeps strengthening its defense line step by step, and constantly weakens the opponent's strength by absorbing water in the desert. He saw it just now in the audience, Tian Feng's chess Although Lu is fierce and abnormal, he has a fatal weakness, that is, he has a front fist but no rear hand. Although his offense is fierce, his defense is not enough. As long as he can resist his attacks in the first few rounds, he will be defeated without fighting .

If Tian Feng's white chess is a sharp spear, then Xiao Yi's black chess at this time is like a lofty mountain, the top of the mountain soars into the clouds, covered with snow all year round, thick as clouds, no matter how sharp the long spear is, It is also difficult for a spear to pierce a high mountain; sure enough, with one effort, it will weaken again and be exhausted after three times; when White's three strong attacks have failed, Tian Feng's momentum immediately drops, and Xiao Yi's counterattack also begins, and the moves used are Which is one of the ultimate moves of Go, which is like snow rolling in the mountains --- "big avalanche!"

'Big avalanche', taking the height and momentum, has been completely thick and tall, just like an alpine avalanche, pouring down with tremendous force, instantly killing Tian Feng's blunt-edged black chess piece. The spear smashed and devoured; at the same time, the weakness of white chess's front-heavy and rear-heaviness also fully exploded at this time. Once the front was destroyed, the whole back immediately collapsed and suffered a crushing defeat...

Looking at the chess game in front of him, Tian Feng was sweating from his temples, and his face, which was originally slightly red, became purple and blue because of the tension. Go has a great mental impact on the players, especially the opponent who is as high as a mountain. The avalanche's aura was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe, and he was powerless... "I have practiced chess for many years, and I have never been invincible in the land of Hebei. In the hands of a much smaller boy, there is a sky beyond the sky, someone beyond the human..." Looking at Xiao Yi's obviously younger face opposite, Tian Feng couldn't help feeling like this.

If you lose, you lose. Although Tian Feng has a strong personality, he is not a person who can't afford to lose. The gentleman is magnanimous. He sighed at the moment, abandoned his son to admit defeat, stood up and bowed to the bottom, and said: "Xiao Lang is a great talent, Tian Feng has been taught. !" Then he strode down the stage in a cool and unrestrained way, a manly man, winning or losing is crisp and neat!

But at this time, the audience was even more uproarious. Unexpectedly, Tian Feng, who had won all four battles, was defeated by an unknown boy. They whispered to each other for a while, asking about the origin of the boy in black, and they were a little anxious. At that time, he was already standing under the stage, ready to win over Xiao Yi immediately...

74. Chapter 74 Demon Sword Muramasa

"This old man is here to learn a game!" An old but loud voice suddenly sounded from a high place, and the tone of "Zhongzheng Renhe" contained a hint of domineering.

It turned out that the fierce match between Xiao Yi and Tian Feng just now not only attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, but also many spectators walked out of the private rooms on each floor. The person who spoke was an old man in the private room on the third floor. Shi Zheng walked down the stairs slowly, with a clear rhythm between his steps.
