Most of the people in this courtyard are acquaintances, and they all belong to the lineage of King Yun. Even if they are not very familiar, they will take the opportunity to say hello and connect with each other. Only a young officer in the west corner is sitting there drinking tea alone. Say hello to anyone.
Fang Jinshi's character is that when he sees a person who looks good, he wants to go up and say a few words, at least to make a fool of himself, so that they can meet each other later. He noticed that the officer was only twenty-three or four years old, with an average appearance and figure. Sitting there with his back straight, he had an indescribable spirit. He was wearing casual clothes that military generals often wore. Although the fabric was not very good, it was clean and smooth without any wrinkles. He sat there. There was a man drinking tea. He would pick up the tea cup and take a few sips. When he put it down again, he would put it in the same position. The handle of the tea cup would not be tilted. At first glance, this person was a very self-disciplined person.
Fang Jinshi couldn¡¯t help but think of Yun Nuer. To a certain extent, this person was the same type of person as the former Yun Nuer.
Fang Jinshi picked up a cup of tea, walked to the man, took a sip and said with a smile: "The tea from Prince Yun's Mansion is really good."
He was just looking for a topic to start talking. The officer immediately put down the tea cup and stood up. He bowed respectfully to Fang Jinshi and said, "Good tea. Thank you for your kindness."
Fang Jinshi felt a little embarrassed when he thanked him like this, so he had to say: "Brother, I have misunderstood. I am not from Prince Yun's Mansion. Just like Brother, I work for Third Brother Zhao. You and I are mutually exclusive."
The officer also said: "To each other, I am in Yangyizhong, named Zhengfu, from Guo County, Daizhou. I am new here and don't understand the rules. If I do something wrong, please ask my brother for advice." After that, there was another one. bow.
Yang Yizhong was polite in his words, but his behavior was very regular. Fang Jinshi had the ability to recognize people, and he immediately felt that Yang's personality was probably not very gregarious.
When Fang Jinshi heard that his surname was Yang, he remembered what Fan Kui said just now and asked one more question: "Is General Yang from Xinde Prefecture?"
Yang Yizhong said: "The gold thieves are unfaithful and have invaded my country. I followed the commander of the Xinde Prefecture, Liang Yangzu, General Liang, led his troops to the capital and came to King Qin."
Fang Jinshi asked: "Have all General Liang's troops entered the city?"
Yang Yizhong said: "More than ten thousand soldiers from Xinde Mansion are outside the city at this time. General Liang sent me to lead eight hundred warriors into the city to assist in the city's defense."
When Fang Jinshi heard what he said, he guessed that General Liang Yangzu and Liang also belonged to the faction of King Yun Zhao Kai. These 800 people were not many, and they were not very conspicuous in the capital, a big city with more than a million people, but they were said to be Less is really not too little.
What is even more intriguing is that Zhao Kai not only showed great favor at this time, but also promoted and awarded his subordinates, and even promoted an officer from Sindh Prefecture who came from afar by two levels in a row.
?? If Fang Jinshi was promoted to two levels in a row, it was because he was a military official at both levels, which was a sinecure. His official position was originally very low in the family of Prince Yun, so being promoted to two levels was not conspicuous. So it is a bit unusual for this officer with soldiers to be promoted two levels in a row.
Fang Jinshi and Yang Yizhong hadn't said a few words when the chief steward of Prince Yun's Mansion came out and said to the people waiting in the courtyard: "Prince Yun invites you all to Donghua Pavilion."
Everyone got up together and walked through the courtyard to the East Flower Pavilion of Prince Yun's Mansion. The flowers in the East Flower Pavilion were in full bloom, and the pavilions and pavilions had a pleasant view. On the edge of the bamboo stream in full bloom, there was an exquisite pavilion. The name of the pavilion was It's called Xianyi Pavilion. Since it's called Xianyi Pavilion, chess pieces on the chessboard are indispensable. There is a large Go board carved with black stone under the pavilion. The chess pieces are made of black and white jade, which is extraordinary.
At this time, the situation outside was tense. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kai, who had been extremely nervous for a meeting all night before the Jin Bing arrived a few days ago, was now leisurely playing the opening game with Yu Wenxu and starting to fight.
Yu Wenxuzhong was sitting at the desk with his eyes closed. A little boy stood behind him to comb his gray hair. King Yun Zhao Kai stood in front of the chess game, twisting a white piece in his hand and thinking deeply.
When everyone came to the Xianyi Pavilion, some people came closer to watch the chess game on the table. Fang Jinshi also came closer to watch. At this time, the black and white sides of the chess game went through a fight in the middle game. Zhao Kai's white stone had the upper hand on the surface. Although the black pieces in Yu Wenxu's game are scattered and chaotic, some pieces occupy several important positions. There may not be no chance of a comeback. It's just that if the black pieces want to make a comeback, they must first take a defensive position and wait for the white pieces to make mistakes.
There are several ways to move Zhao Kai's white pieces. At Fang Jinshi's level, you can see that there are at least three ways to make moves. One is to make steady progress, step by step, and has the best chance of winning. The other is to directly attack the center of the army. , attack hastily and rush forward, causing some losses. This kind of either a big defeat or a big victory, the winner can be determined quickly, and it is the winner; the third kind of corner piece, exchange the pieces for pieces, and use the loss to drag the opponent's black pieces. , then the third possible chess game is??'s advantage was given away, and in the end it was extremely difficult to say who would win, so I decided to take the next step.
When Zhao Kai saw the crowd gathered around him, he said to his subordinates: "I woke up early in the morning and had nothing to do. I played a game of chess with Mr. Yuwen. I found that this game is a bit difficult to solve. Those of you who are good chess players, come here." Take a look."
The man surnamed Zhao said truthfully: "Even if Third Brother makes the right move, White has the upper hand in this situation. Mr. Yuwen and Black is just bluffing. Third Brother will win no matter what move he makes."
Zhao Kai said: "I don't think so. When the situation is advantageous, you have to be more careful, for fear of being careless and losing the whole game."
Fan Kui said: "Although the chess game is not very clear now, White has the advantage. He is always waiting for the best opportunity. But when is the best opportunity, no one can say it accurately. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity. Make a blog."
Zhao Kai looked up at him and said, "Really?"
Fan Kui said: "Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Jing'an Army are waiting for the third brother to make his move on the chessboard."
What he said was very clear, but Zhao Kai sighed and was silent. Everyone had to wait quietly for him to speak. It took a long time for Zhao Kai to take a long breath and said: "Why don't we start with this half game? Each of you use your own tricks to compete with Mr. Yuwen, and I will see how you defeat him."
Zhao Kai let out a long sigh, and Fang Jinshi sighed even more in his heart. If we judge the current situation based on this situation, everyone is eagerly waiting for King Yun to take the opportunity to show off his skills. At this critical moment, Zhao Kai himself has to first Watching others play next game will undoubtedly pour cold water on everyone's hearts.
The man surnamed Zhao did his part, walked to the front of the chessboard, took the white piece, dropped it straight into the middle palace, and then said to Yu Wenxuzhong: "Mr. Yuwen, it's your turn to make the move."
Mr. Yuwen looked at it and said to Fang Jinshi, "How about you make the move for me?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid my level is too bad and I will lose in two seconds."
Yu Wenxuzhong smiled and said nothing. Fang Jinshi knew that he had made a mistake. Perhaps it was because Yu Wenxuzhong had seen his skill before that he allowed himself to lose this game for him. At this time, what Heizi wanted was not to win, but to lose.
Fang Jinshi rolled up his sleeves, walked to the table, and put the black stones into the market. He was not very good at it, and he played casually without thinking. Within a few steps, the situation was completely ruined.
The chess game just now was restarted, and another person came up to play against Fang Jinshi. This person also made a real advance in the middle, using exactly the same routine as the previous person. Fang Jinshi changed his approach, but made a few more moves, and lost quickly.
Another person came and still behaved like this, but Zhao Kai was disappointed and said: "It's not that White's situation is too good, it's that Black's skill is too poor."
Fang Jinshi laughed and said to Yu Wenxuzhong: "Mr. Yuwen, the third brother said that I am too bad at playing chess, so you should do it."
Yu Wenxu said in the middle: "The skill of the person holding the black man is not high, so why pity him for his weakness? If you defeat a general who is arrogant and doubtful, he will be defeated. As expected, he will eventually defeat the enemy. Brother Zhao doesn't need to take it as a big deal."
Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t understand the meaning of these two lines of his poem, but he still said: ¡°Good poem.¡±
Zhao Kai looked at everyone. He finally saw Yang Yizhong, so he waved him over and asked, "Can you play chess?"
Yang Yizhong bowed and said, "My chess skills are superficial, and it's hard to be refined."
Zhao Kai said: "It doesn't require you to have high chess skills, and you don't have to think too hard, just rely on your feeling to get the white pieces."
Yang Yizhong bowed respectfully again and stepped forward. Sure enough, he didn't think much and took the middle road, no different from the previous ones.
Fang Jinshi played dozens of moves with him and lost again. Zhao Kai said a little boringly: "You all make the same moves, not even one is different."
Yang Yizhong said: "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Zhao Kai said: "We are all brothers here. If there is anything inappropriate to say, you can just tell me."
Yang Yizhong said: "Excuse me, does Brother Zhao have his ambitions on this chessboard or outside the chessboard?"
Zhao Kai asked somewhat confused: "What's the difference?"
Yang Yizhong said: "When I came, General Liang Yangzu told me again and again that the eight hundred warriors I brought were all elite. We were told to only listen to the orders of General Yun. It is not necessary to understand what he said. As soon as I, Yang Yizhong, arrived in Bian Liang, Prince Yun even promoted me two levels in a row. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, I will accept it calmly."
Fan Kui deliberately asked from the side: "Why is this?"
Yang Yizhong said: "General Liang sent me to bring people here, and it was none other than me. I think it was because I was sometimes reckless and dared to move forward without fear of death. If Prince Yun just wanted to stay in the chess game and let us receive the reward in vain, I would be happy to do so." Ashamed.¡±
After hearing what he said, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but leave??Pouts, this Yang Yizhong does not look like a reckless person at all, but a little clever. Otherwise, Liang Yangzu would not let him bring people here for such a big event. It is right to be bold and careful without fear of death.
Zhao Kaike said politely: "General Yang, don't think too much. Since I asked you to wait here, you must have something to do. Please be patient, General Yang."
Yang Yizhong said: "In recent years, the court has been collecting flowers and stones, cultivating Taoist temples, and the people's lives are far worse than in previous years. This year, foreign troops have come to invade, and the people are even more miserable. The whole world is looking forward to it." I wish I could change the sun and the moon, and the day of rectifying the world will come sooner."
