    "Master wanted to test his military skills, so he chose Go, right?" Yang Zilu asked.

    "Yeah!" Sun Wu nodded slightly, without concealing his purpose.

    "This way I have a better chess game, which is suitable for my master to study my military skills!" Yang Zilu said with a smile.

    "Oh!?" Sun Wu responded in surprise. Soon Sun Wu came back to his senses. After thinking about it, he understood Yang Zilu's thoughts.  But he didn't care too much. Instead, he asked curiously: "What kind of board game is it?"

    "Chess!" Yang Zilu said, gesturing to Mang Gao outside, and said, "Hurry to the carriage and get my chess!"

    "No!" Mang Gao responded.

    "The Xiang Qi of Chu State (sounds the same as chess)?" Sun Wu misunderstood.

    "Xiangqi" in Sun Wu's mouth is a chess game popular in the south. It is said to be the prototype of chess. There are six black and white chess pieces each, and it is also played by two people.  Because Xiangqi was the most popular in Chu, Sun Wucai added Chu before Xiangqi.

    Yang Zilu shook his head and said: "No, what I brought this time is chess, chess with chess pieces. And it is very different from other chess types. The chess pieces include rooks, horses, soldiers, and cannons. These are all used for chess."  The attacker also has the prime minister and the soldiers guarding the commander. Once the commander is killed, it will be a failure. It is like a battle formation, completely different from Xiangqi!"

    When Sun Wu heard this, he immediately became interested and said: "In this way, it seems like marching to fight, but what is this cannon? Why is there no bow?"

    Yang Zilu explained: "The cannon is based on the thunder cannon of our Han Dynasty. When attacking, you need a chess piece in front, whether it is the enemy's or your own. He"

    Yang Zilu introduced the functions and moves of each chess piece with great interest, and Sun Wu was also deeply attracted by the chess in Yang Zilu's mouth.  Just listening to the chess game, it was as if the two sides were marching and fighting, which made Sun Wu look forward to the arrival of chess even more.

    Between the questions and answers, half an hour had passed, and Mang Gao came back with a box of chess dripping with sweat.  At this time, Sun Wu said with a smile: "I just want to play a game with Zilu! Let's play Go later!"

    When Yang Zilu heard this, he immediately felt anxious. Did the situation look good before?  Why did Sun Wu put half of his foot in, but at this time, he stopped and was not trapped?  Although Yang Zilu was anxious, she did not forget to think of a solution. Yang Zilu's eyes rolled around a few times and she thought of words again.  "Master, doesn't he pay attention to his military skills? In this case, chess is more suitable than Go! Why should master be obsessed with Go?"

    "But I'm not familiar with chess, so I'm using my own shortcomings to compete with your strengths!" Sun Wu is indeed a pragmatist, but he has no sense of self-respect.

    Yang Zilu was so depressed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Why is there such a big gap between being from Shengzhou at the same time!  Although Confucius was smart, he was very idiotic in some aspects and was deceived by himself several times.

    On the contrary, Sun Wu was very calm, and he was not arrogant at all because he was a soldier.  In the battle of wits and courage with Yang Zilu, it was a lion fighting a rabbit, and Yang Zilu was beaten to death.

    In fact, Yang Zilu did not despise Sun Wu. In his plan, he originally thought that even if Sun Wu discovered his little thoughts.  Sun Wu probably couldn't let go of his pride and figure. Even if he knew Yang Zilu's plan, he would still proudly jump into the trap set by Yang Zilu.

    This is just like Huang Yaoshi. Although he is smart, he is too conceited. He has seen through many strategies, but he still jumped in.  The mentality of a smart person is that seeing through your strategy does not reveal my intelligence.  Only when I saw through it, jumped in, and solved your plan can I show how smart I am.  It's just that Sun Wu is obviously smarter than Huang Yaoshi. I really wanted to jump in, but at the last step, he suddenly pulled away, which made me so depressed that I almost vomited three liters of blood.

    Just when Yang Zilu was depressed, Sun Wu laughed and said: "You! You just want Li Qi to use my pride to step into the trap you designed. You can't be proud as a human being!"

    Yang Zilu smiled coquettishly, and he was no longer in the mood to respond to Sun Wu's words.

    Seeing Yang Zilu like this, Sun Wu smiled and said: "Forget it, I am too embarrassed to bully a junior like you. I will play three games with you first, and the fourth game will be a showdown. What the loser should do is as before.  The conditions I proposed! Zilu, what do you think?"

    When Yang Zilu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he said with a smile: "Master is wise, as it should be!"

    At the same time, Yang Zilu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought: Just three games of chess!  Sun Wu, although you are smart, but in such a situationHow much can you learn in a short period of time?  Well, but as Sun Wu said before, people cannot be proud!  Just to be on the safe side, I'd better play it safe in the first three games.  Otherwise, I might have learned a few tricks from Sun Wu, and then he would treat the other person in his own way, and then he would really have no tears left to cry.

    In the first battle, Yang Zilu¡¯s strategy was very successful, and the chess game was also played very poorly, and he gave up in only about a quarter of an hour.  It's not that Yang Zilu deliberately shortened the time, but it's useless if he doesn't admit defeat, and it's just lingering.  In the eyes of others, the two people's identities seemed to have been swapped. Yang Zilu was a novice chess player, while Sun Wu was a senior chess player.

    Sun Wu, who won, was not happy. He frowned and looked at Yang Zilu thoughtfully.  But it didn't take long for Sun Wu to figure it out. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but Sun Wu didn't accuse Yang Zilu of anything.

    Although Sun Wu is not as proud as arrogant like Huang Yaoshi, he also has his pride.  If he accused Yang Zilu of deliberately letting things go, Yang Zilu would be more restrained in the next game no matter what, but Sun Wu did not do this because doing so was tantamount to showing weakness to Yang Zilu.

    Soon, the two sides reset their chess pieces and started the game again.  There were no lines at the beginning, but Yang Zilu's heart was immediately raised. It wasn't that the start was bad.  On the contrary, it was just the opposite. About eleven minutes into the game, Yang Zilu exchanged a horse for one of Sun Wu's rooks and soldiers.  Forget it if you have a small soldier, but you can still make a profit by exchanging your horse for a cart, not to mention the huge profit if you pair it with a small soldier.

    But Yang Zilu was not happy, because Yang Zilu found that Sun Wu played chess very slowly. Sun Wu's "slowness" was not due to caution or encountering difficulties.  But Sun Wu was thinking about chess. He simulated playing chess in his mind and studied the wonders of chess.

    As a result, Sun Wu's mind was naturally not focused enough. It was not surprising that Yang Zilu took the opportunity to exchange a horse for a chariot and a soldier.  And just like Yang Zilu's previous thoughts, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose the first three games, the important thing is the fourth game, so now Sun Wu has also put aside the difference between victory and defeat, and concentrates on learning how to play chess better.

    In the second game, Yang Zilu and Sun Wu played for a full hour, and the final result was that Yang Zilu narrowly won.

    Although he won the victory, Yang Zilu had the same expression as Sun Wu before, and was not happy about it.  Because the further back, Yang Zilu found that Sun Wu's chess skills became more and more exquisite. If it hadn't been for a bad start, it would have been impossible for Yang Zilu to win. From this, we can see how terrifying Sun Wu's wisdom is, and why he was so short.  Time has taught me some practical and wonderful techniques.

    In the third game, Sun Wu's speed was even slower than before, but Yang Zilu did not say anything or admit defeat.  Although the fourth game was the decisive battle, it was no big deal for Yang Zilu to admit defeat.  Although Yang Zilu had admitted defeat once before in the first game, it had a different meaning than it does now.

    In the former case, Yang Zilu deliberately let the situation slip and ended up in a dead end. Whether he admitted defeat or not, the result would not change much, so he saved face.  And if Yang Zilu directly admits defeat when the situation is unclear, let alone what Sun Wu will say, Yang Zilu himself will not be so shameless. Although Yang Zilu himself also wants to recruit Sun Wu, he also has his own pride, just like  Sun Wu knew that Yang Zilu deliberately didn't go all out and said nothing.

    In this way, in Sun Wu's slow move, the third game lasted for an hour and a moment, and finally ended in Sun Wu's victory.  Although Yang Zilu did not go all out, Yang Zilu had to admit that Sun Wu's current chess skills were already at a certain level.  The most important thing is that Yang Zilu's own chess skills are not very good. His level can only be regarded as among amateur chess players. His chess ability is a little above average, but not even above average.

    "Huh, master, it's already getting late. Do you think you'll come back after dinner?" Yang Zilu glanced at the chessboard, then turned to look at the darkening sky outside, and said to Sun Wu in a deep voice.

    "Aren't you afraid that I will have more time to think about chess?" Sun Wu teased with a smile as he slowly packed away the chess pieces.

    "How could my disciple have such an idea? Friendship comes first, victory or defeat comes second! Winning is good, but losing, this disciple should respect his master!" Yang Zilu responded with a smile.

    ??When I first heard Yang Zilu¡¯s words, I just felt that Yang Zilu was thick-skinned, but in fact, what he said implied that even if he lost, it was me, the disciple, who was filial to his master.  Then you, the master, should also be interested, right?

    Hearing this, Sun Wu smiled and did not accept Yang Zilu's words. He said to the servant: "Hurry up and prepare the food."

    Seeing that Sun Wu didn't answer her words, Yang Zilu didn't seem to care, and told Mang Gao: "Go back and let him"Let's all set up camp and rest. There's no need to wait for me to go back. I'll have a candlelight talk with my master tonight.  "

    Having said this, Yang Zilu paused and said, "Master, you won't mind my brother's intrusion, right?"

    Sun Wu smiled and shook his head and said: "This is exactly what I want, how could you refuse Zilu?"
