Every day I want to quit my job and farm

Although the tomato did not achieve the desired effect, Prince Carat did not give up the opportunity to give his country a prestige.The next morning, he proposed to him that the two countries would fight against each other, and it would not be like dancing with knives and guns, or playing with words and ink, but playing chess.Prince Carat is very confident: "Go can only be played by two people. This time we will make it more fun. A new kind of chess has recently emerged in your country, called checkers. Six people can play against each other on a game of chess."

Emperor Xuanhe understood: "Prince Carat wants to play checkers? There is nothing wrong with it. It's just a game, three against three."

Prince Carat saluted with a smile, as if he was sure of winning the game.Prince Carat withdrew, and the ministers of civil and military affairs discussed which three would represent them in the battle.The Bai family holds a checkers competition every year, and a civil servant proposes to invite the champion of the competition to win glory for the country.But the problem is that there are only two champions in the checkers game, and there is still one short.This year's checkers competition has not yet been held, so there is no champion.

It is a matter of the face of the country, Xuanhe Emperor does not believe in the checkers competition held by the people.He looked at Shen Yu and said: "Bufan, you have won against the juniors from Beijing. Who do you think is better for the competition? The three of them must be outstanding people, and the folks are not allowed to make small troubles."

Shen Xi came out of the line, cupped his hands and smiled, and replied: "I have three candidates. One is the new champion Hong Yanhong, the second is the second place in the new science, Gong Henggong, and the third is Huang Shuyue, the daughter-in-law of the Minister of the Ministry of War. There is another person in reserve. There is nothing wrong with it.”

The civil and military ministers talked a lot, recommending Hong Yan and Gong Heng and they had no objection, but Huang Shuyue was a woman.How can it be reassuring to entrust such an important matter to a woman?Reluctantly, they are the daughters of the Minister of the Ministry of War, so they dare not speak up on the spot if they have opinions.

Emperor Xuanhe frowned slightly: "Why doesn't Bufan recommend me? I think your chess skills are no worse than theirs."

Of course because I don't want to play.Shen Hao rolled his eyes in his heart, and had to answer with a smile on his face: "I think it's more appropriate for me to be their chess teacher, and let me lead them in the game. Your Majesty, we must pay attention to the competition on the chess game, and we must not ignore the competition outside the game. A game of chess may not take much time, but there are a lot of exchanges between you and me, and you can't make mistakes in any link."

Everyone was silent, thinking that what Shen Xi said made sense.Xuanhe Emperor thought for a moment, and then ordered Shen Xi to take full control of the competition, and all places were at his disposal.Shen Xi got his wish, and he planned to take this opportunity to raise the status of the girl's elder brother...

Hong Yan, Gong Heng, and Huang Shuyue soon received an imperial decree, asking them to practice chess hard before the game, and they must not lose the game against Shi Mengguo.At noon that day, they went to the General's Mansion to meet Shen Xi.Shen Hao warmly invited them to have lunch together and chat while eating.

"Master Shen, can you tell me who the standby person is?" Gong Heng was very curious, who else could make Shen Xi look at him differently.

"Of course you will know on the day of the game." Shen Xi gave Qiao Ke food, "Since you are all here today, I will tell you a chess move that will never lose. If the opponent's speed is too fast, the game will be finished soon." At that time, one of you who is facing him will leave the chess pieces at home to buy time for his companion. The victory or loss of the game is calculated according to the chess pieces that are not scored."

Therefore, if there is a chess piece on this side that does not go out, there will be a chess piece on the opposite side that cannot enter the door.As long as no one from both sides enters the house with all their pieces, the game must continue.Although this is relatively foolish, it is a good strategy in a critical moment.More importantly, playing chess with real people is different from playing chess online. There is a time limit for each move online, but real people do not.So a game of chess may take longer than expected.

Ancient scholars paid attention to being a gentleman. Even if they thought about this kind of practice, few people actually did it.Shen Hao feels that there are so many particulars on the chessboard, winning is the only reason, as long as you don't cheat.The three of Hong Yan nodded, and those who make big things don't care about small things.

From this day on, the three of Hong Yan come to the General's Mansion to play chess with Shen Xi and Qiao Ke every day.Shen Xi also recruited Shen Buxian to make up the number of people, but unexpectedly found out that it was a talent.Shen Buxian had played checkers at the border, and there were few opponents. After arriving in the capital, he did not worry so much.

The next day, Shen Xi, the person in charge of the competition, officially took office, and they had many discussions on the venue of the competition.Some people think it is better to hold it in the palace, while others think it is better to hold it outside the palace and let the common people watch it.In the end, Shen Xi chose to set up a platform outside the palace to build the competition venue. Not only that, but the chessboard had to be remade.Because there will be many people coming to watch, a large chessboard has to be made.

Like a display chessboard erected like a wall, there are at least two sides, one for display by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and the other for display by the common people.The open space in the middle of the competition field must be arranged as a super-large chessboard, and soldiers wearing different colored clothes will act as chess pieces on that day.So when the emperor sat on it, what he saw was the chess game.In this way, the communication must be timely, and every time a piece is dropped, it will be spread everywhere.

Shen Xi selected some fast-moving soldiers and sent letters to various places in three batches.Everyone will be tired, the first batch is tired, and the second batch will go on.For this reason, Shen Xi went to the Hanlin Academy to invite a few adults with superb painting skills to record the chess game on the day of the game.They should not only draw well, but also draw fast.It can only be completed by several people operating at the same time, and no one can lose the chain, otherwise it will be in vain.

Many folks are concerned about this competition, and it is impossible for all the people to crowd into the competition site.At this time, the chess shop in the city came into play. They sent people to guard the game field and report the chess game in real time.People can go to the chess shop to watch chess, and they will naturally consume.

After a full month of preparation for the competition, Shen Xi's third batch of tomato seeds had been planted.Both the first batch and the second batch have buds, which are green and tender, which is very pleasing.On the day of the competition, Shen Xi and Qiao Ke arrived at the venue, and everything was ready.The parties are seated.

The chessboard is specially customized, larger than ordinary chessboards, and the chess pieces are also larger.Both sides sent one person to be the referee, and Shen Yu arranged for Master Yang, Minister of Rites, to come on.Although Mr. Yang didn't want to listen to Shen Yu's command, the matter was very important, and he had to go if he didn't.There is also one person from Shi Mengguo.

Toss a coin to decide who goes first.Three against three, people from Shi Mengguo on the other side of the round table, and three people from Hongyan on this side of the round table.

The eunuch lit a stick of incense, the soldiers beat the gongs and drums, and the game began.Shi Mengguo went first, and just jumped one step at the beginning.After the chess is played well, the painter records it, and the soldiers take the record and spread it everywhere.There was movement on the display chessboard, and the person in charge of the ground chessboard waved a colored flag to command the soldiers.Dressed in different colors, soldiers are instructed to go to the corresponding places.

When the people in the chess shop saw the movement of the chess board, they wrote it down immediately, and handed it to their companions to send to the shop after a round.The shop received the chess record, restored it on the chessboard, and specially assigned to explain it.Everywhere started to move, the fight on the chessboard gradually unfolded, and everyone became more and more nervous.

After one stick of incense is burned and another stick of incense is exchanged, the chess game is halfway through.Shen Xi frowned and found that Shi Mengguo had the upper hand. As far as the chess pieces entered, Hongyan and the others were far behind.Shi Mengguo and the others thought about each step for a long time, not only giving themselves more time to think, but also putting pressure on the three of Hong Yan.If the gap continues to widen, it will be difficult to catch up.Shen Xi bit her lip and thought about it, and decided to change.

In this game, both sides have a chance to make a substitution. Shen Xi replaced Gong Heng with Qiao Ke.Gong Heng's chess skills are very good, but his thinking seems to be seen through by the opponent. He has been blocked several times and has been unable to move an inch.Everyone was very surprised that they actually sent a brother to play at this moment.On the contrary, Hong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, the chess game is not over yet, and they haven't lost yet.They want to regain lost time.

Qiao Ke took the order to replace Gong Heng, and Gong Heng wiped off his sweat, as if exhausted.When he stood up and looked up, he realized that the surrounding area was huge, and this game of chess was not the only one.An eunuch helped Gong Heng down to rest, and handed him tea and pastries.Gong Heng sat, holding hands unwillingly.

Shen Xi walked over and patted Gong Heng on the shoulder: "You care too much about winning or losing. Do you remember what I told you?"

Before Shen Hao asked them if they really wanted to win, they naturally answered that they wanted to win, for the sake of the country's face.Shen Hao said very easily: "Throw away this kind of thinking, don't care about winning or losing. Winning is just winning a game of chess, and losing is just losing a game of chess. Shi Mengguo will not be able to compete with our country just because it wins this game of chess , our country will not really lose to Shi Mengguo just because we lose this game."

Shi Mengguo will never win on the battlefield, so he wants to regain his presence on the chessboard.But winning a game of chess will not change anything, Shi Mengguo still has to bow his head and pay tribute every year.So don't think this game is too important, in fact, it's not important at all.

However, Gong Heng still cared about winning or losing, so he was seized by the opponent to suppress him.I don't want to build a bridge for the opponent, and my chess pieces can't go far without hands and feet. When I find out, the chess path will be blocked.Shen Xi looked at Hongyan and the others: "Just watch, we will win."

Qiao Ke's chess style is completely different from Gong Heng's, and he doesn't care about building bridges for the enemy and going his own way.Qiao Ke tore a hole, and Hong Yan and Huang Shuyue's chess moves more easily.Hongyan saw that Qiao Ke hadn't touched the one at home, and understood what it meant.The two of them rushed forward no matter what, and the time would be regained.The person opposite Qiao Ke has two left, and every path is fine.

But after two rounds, Qiao Ke didn't move the chess piece at home at all, so the opposite chess piece couldn't enter the house.There is no rule in checkers that the pieces must give way, so Qiao Ke's behavior is not a foul.The people of Shi Mengguo were in a hurry, and the last chess piece could not get in. After that, Hong Yan and the others attacked frantically.Seeing that the gap was getting smaller and smaller, Hongyan soon had only the last chess piece left.

He was not in a hurry to enter the house, but built a bridge for Huang Shuyue.The game is a team game, if he ends the game at this time, they will still lose according to the pieces that did not enter the opposite side.So it has to be counted, how many pieces are left on the outside of the two sides, and who can end the game faster.

The person who had been hovering at the door became anxious and jumped to the side to build a bridge for his companions.But this step, it was this step that allowed the three of Hong Yan to seize the opportunity.Qiao Ke used the bridge to jump the last piece to the opposite side in one breath, and the game ended.Both Hongyan and Huang Shuyue have one pawn left, in order to build a bridge for Qiao Ke.And Qiao Ke all went to the opposite side, and there was not one left.The three men of Shi Mengguo each have one pawn left.

competition is over.Gong Heng stood up excitedly, won, really won.Even if you only win one step, the result is victory.

The common people cheered, and the civil and military ministers were equally excited.Xuan Hedi stood up and applauded, and finally turned around, wonderful!

Standing up against the applause, Qiao Ke looked at his opponent with a smile and said, "If you don't take the last step, we must be the losers."

Because I was in a hurry, I took that step.That step perfectly fell into Joko's trap and became a bridge for him to win.The opponent looks at the board in disbelief, why?Why did he take that step?Obviously there are not many chess pieces on the board, and the bridge built between their companions can be clearly seen.Because of this step, they lost.Because of this step, the original victory turned into defeat...

"Don't feel it's a pity, because the most powerful chess player in our country didn't make it." Hong Yan stood up with a smile, "He is stronger than us."
