Whirlwind Tai Chi Li Erhai

Chapter 186
Wang Dongsheng called and invited him to play.

After the meeting was over, I briefly exchanged greetings with everyone, then rode on a small electric donkey and went straight to Wang Dongsheng's house.

On the way, I went to the mall and bought two bottles of good wine.

Wang Dongsheng was waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Erhai looked from a distance, and felt that Wang Dongsheng's body had fully recovered. Judging from his standing posture, he was in good spirits.

Seeing Li Erhai approaching, Wang Dongsheng greeted him excitedly.

"Er Hai, are you calling you Director Li now, or Director Li?"

Li Erhai was taken aback. Aren't the two directors he called the same?

"Magistrate Wang, what do you mean?"

"Look, you are now Director Li of the Xuanfengling Scenic Area Management Committee, and Director Li of the People's Congress of Wending County. Which Director Li do you think I should call?"

It turned out to be the case.

"Whatever director he is, you should call me Er Hai, it sounds pleasing to my ears."

"How can I do that? It's against the rules."

The two walked into the house while talking.

"Major Wang, when I came to work in the county, you have always been my old leader. There is nothing wrong with calling it that way. It's settled like this, and you will call me Erhai."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this moment, Mary came out of the kitchen and felt happy when she saw Li Erhai.

"You guy, you said to see my father last time, and you haven't come for so long. If my father hadn't called you today, you wouldn't have come, would you? Hypocrite."

Wang Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Xiaoli, don't talk nonsense."

"Dad, he is my little brother, what are you afraid of. Erhai, are you right?"

Li Erhai had nothing to do with her, so he just smiled and said, "That's right."

Continuing to walk in, Mary pinched Li Erhai from behind, this pinch was hard enough, Li Erhai gritted his teeth and frowned.

The chessboard had already been set up in the study, the two sat down and began to fight.

Wang Dongsheng likes to use the headshot, and he set up the game at the beginning.

"Er Hai, I've been playing chess for decades. It's just a hobby. When I have free time, I catch people and kill them. There are wins and losses. In the end, it's because I'm not good at chess."

"Major Wang, playing chess is just for entertainment and pastime. If there is a competition, it is a competition."

"Er Hai, you have a good attitude and good chess skills. I played a few games with you last time. Although I can win a game or two, it is obvious that you are letting me in."

"Where is it, I don't know how to play chess, and I take a few steps indiscriminately, but sometimes a blind cat meets a dead mouse."

It happened that Mary brought the water in, and when she heard this, she immediately refuted.

"Hey, Li Erhai, why are these words so ugly? Are you a blind cat, or is my father a dead mouse?"

Wang Dongsheng laughed when he heard this. "He's just a metaphor."

Mary was still relentless. "Dad, you are an elder in front of him, and I can't let him be presumptuous."

Wang Dongsheng said: "Erhai, although I can't play chess well, I have always had a unique feeling for this Chinese chess. Who can you say who invented this game? king."

"Magistrate Wang, I have never understood this question. I checked it on the Internet, and there are different opinions. There is no definite number. One of the earliest sayings originated from the Shennong family in the legendary era. Song Dynasty monk Nianchang wrote in "Buddha History". " said: "Shen Nong used the sun, moon, and stars as images, and Tang Xiangguo's cattle, monks and children used chariots, horses, soldiers, soldiers, and guns to replace them as machines. "

"Impossible, look, there is Chu River and Han border on the chessboard, isn't it obviously the imprint of the Han Dynasty? I think the red and black sides are Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and they are just fighting for the world."

"It makes sense. I also think it originated in the Han Dynasty. There are established levels in it. The officers and men are in charge of the chariots and artillery. Both sides are a complete political and military order. This dynastic system is quite similar to the feudal social system after the Qin Empire. "

"Erhai, I'm not good at chess, but I'm very interested in this chessboard. I feel that this chessboard is a society, as well as life. As you said just now, there is a hierarchical order from top to bottom here, where soldiers and soldiers In fact, it is the noble class, and the soldiers are the lower class people. The nobles command the lower class people to use vehicles, horses and cannons to fight and kill for their own profit."

Li Erhai felt that what Wang Dongsheng said was very reasonable. Looking carefully at the chessboard, there was indeed such a flavor.

"Look, the entire chessboard is two countries on both sides, with a royal city at each end. The supreme commander sits in the royal city, surrounded by soldiers and nobles, surrounded by chariots, horses, cannons and other weapons. The lowest level is soldiers, that is, ordinary people line up at the front. , stand ready."

Li Erhai stood up a pawn casually and grabbed one of his horse's legs, Wang Dongsheng was a little caught off guard.

While he was thinking, he was still talking about the chessboard.

"Look, if you are negligent, this early horse will go deep alone, and now you will be blocked by your humble pawn, and you will be in danger. Therefore, the organizations at all levels must coordinate their actions, and only when they are united can they have combat effectiveness. Only then can there be a possibility of survival, and only then can there be hope of victory.”

When Li Erhai saw it, it was true that Wang Dongsheng's tall horse was cornered by his own pawns who pushed forward casually. There are too many such examples in life.A ruler is short and an inch is long. People should not be judged by their appearance, and sea water should not be measured. Never look at people through the cracks of a door or look down on them.

"Er Hai, your move is very clever. This pawn comes at a good time, not too early or too late. When we do things, we must grasp the timing like this. In many cases, haste makes waste, and things that backfire will often backfire."

"What County Magistrate Wang said is very true. The same is true of our work. Everything is scientific. We can't rely on experience, let alone be impulsive. Only by grasping the right time can we make great progress."

"Yeah, that's true. Also, Erhai, look, this little pawn looks like us. From the moment we were born, we were destined to be like pawns in chess. We can only move forward, not back. It doesn't move forward casually. You see, when it is within its own territory, it can only move forward, and cannot swing left and right, let alone retreat. However, once it launches a charge and crosses the boundary, it will go forward bravely and charge left and right. Chess Language It is said that when the pawns crossing the river reach the cart, its energy will be exploded at this time, and it will often give you unexpected effects.”

"Magistrate Wang, you are using chess to understand life!"

"I can't play chess, but I can watch chess. I like to ponder when I'm free. Just like this horse, you see, I still have a way to retreat. In life, people often say that a good horse never turns back. That's wrong. If you want me to say, a horse that turns back is a good horse, because it knows how to advance and retreat, and only when it knows how to advance and retreat can it protect itself. This is another saying, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood."

"Goodbye, goodbye!"

Li Erhai thought to himself, if I go back to Wending again in the future, will I be a good horse to turn back?
He knew that what Wang Dongsheng meant was that people should do things according to their abilities, and according to the situation, advance if you have the ability, retreat when encountering difficulties, and attack when you find a good time.

In fact, I have realized this idea a long time ago, because I have read Zeng Guofan's family motto, and there are many things in it that are worth learning.

"You see, only generals and pawns on this chessboard are odd numbers, and the others are even numbers. There is only one general, but five pawns. The five here should mean the majority. In fact, this is telling us that if we don't want to To be one of those unknown little soldiers at the bottom, one has to charge forward and make meritorious deeds, and finally can be the only general, although he is lonely, but he is majestic. The world says that the heights are unbearably cold, but which one is not desperate to climb up?"

"Magistrate Wang, I have my own ideas about pawns. Do princes and generals have a kindness? I don't think so, but everyone's birth is not easy to choose. Most people have to be born in ordinary families. In today's society, it has Earth-shaking changes have taken place, and our thoughts are also changing with each passing day. Personally, I think that we are small soldiers with humble identities, but we must perform a wonderful life. Within the scope of our ability, we live our lives well and let ourselves fly Isn't it a happy mood?"

Wang Dongsheng raised his eyes and looked at Li Erhai, thinking that this kid is really nice and very thoughtful.Yes, why bother to care about everything in one's life?Greed always covers people's eyes and makes people lose their direction.When I was the deputy county magistrate, I always fought against Li Erhai for trivial matters. Looking back now, it was just a joke.

At that time, he and the deputy mayor Tian Jing had rectified Li Erhai. Looking at it now, the two of them are now like a family. As for myself, Li Erhai is not an outsider. This is the pattern. Li Erhai, a pawn, has the pattern of a general .

Mary came over at some time.

"Dad, did you invite this guy to dinner, or did you use it for training?"

"I have been a deputy county magistrate all my life, and in the end I got into a fight with Er Hai because I lost my mind, and I was in a mess. How can I teach him a lesson? What qualifications do I have to educate him? It's just chatting .”

Seeing that Mary would not leave, he asked her to help in the kitchen and serve the food quickly. I wanted to have two drinks a long time ago.

"Er Hai, don't think I'm annoying, I'm old enough to chatter."

"Major Wang, you have taught me a lot of experience today, I am very grateful."

"It's time to eat, and I don't want to talk too much. Finally, I want to tell you some chess sayings. Let's encourage each other. 'Red first, black later' refers to the rules." ', 'Play chess with no words, no regrets when you make a move', talking about life. "Winning people" refers to people's mentality. "Onlookers are clear, authorities are obsessed." It is said that participants do not necessarily know everything, and they should ask others for advice. , everyone understands it, but few people can completely overcome it when doing it.”

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!"

"Erhai, don't humiliate me as an old man. We are old and can't keep up with the times. Now it's your world. To borrow a word, you are now the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning."

In the end, the two drank a full two catties of liquor.
