Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 251: Just play chess, not break the game
The two Zuo family members looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Zuo Yuan nodded and admitted: "It's the Wang family's matter. The Wang family's people have just come here and told their situation. It's really unexpected that such a mistake has happened to the dignified Wang family. "

"Oh?" Chen Zhi showed a little interest, "What did they say? How much do you know?"

Zuo Yuan and his two men did not mean to hide anything and said truthfully: "The Wang family has informed us about the little Hun prince and their bet, and they have also made it clear that the cultural meeting is at risk and may not be held on time. He said that he wanted to break the chess game left by the Huns and then challenge him."

"It seems that he said a lot." Chen Zhi nodded, not surprised. Since the Wang family sent people here, they would definitely not be stingy about revealing the information. The difference is just how much and how deep it is.

Now it seems that the Wang family has obviously revealed all the key points to the Zuo family. On the one hand, it is to dispel the Zuo family's wariness, and on the other hand, it is to show determination.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi asked: "Does the Wang family want me to help?"

Zuo Yuan and Zuo Qing suddenly showed expressions of gratitude, and Zuo Yuan even said: "The Wang family told me about the previous situation. Mr. Chen did not give up on my Zuo family in that situation. This kindness, the Zuo family is I will never forget it no matter what.”

Looking at his expression and tone, Chen Zhi knew right away that the Wang family not only relayed what he had said in the Wang family, but probably added some embellishments, emphasizing the threats and lures of the Wang family.

This time I really know how to do favors.

After silently sighing with emotion, Chen Zhi said a few words politely, and then turned to the serious business: "What are your plans?" Loss and loss, the ability to resist risks is a bit worse than that of the Wang family. Of course, there is no possibility of rejection, which is why the Wang family dared to disclose the news to the Zuo family.

Sure enough, Zuo Yuan said: "It depends on what you want, Mr. Chen. The little prince of the Huns has such great chess skills. He has defeated many masters one after another. He must be capable. If you play chess with him, it will be really risky." , building up momentum to become famous is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. If you can defeat an enemy like the little prince of the Huns, then everything will be fine. If you can’t, the losses will be huge.”

Zuo Qing also nodded and said: "From the perspective of my Zuo family, the Wang family has sent out the invitation and naturally hopes that Brother Chen can go, but we are friends after all. If you are not willing to do this, we will refuse the Wang family." , I will never force you, nor will I say you broke your promise." Afterwards, he showed a bit of shame on his face. Before, he was worried that Chen Zhi's reputation would be damaged and was unwilling to let him play against the Hun prince. Now that the news from the Wang family came, He changed his tone again and seemed quite utilitarian. He felt a little shameless at first.

Chen Zhi didn't think anything of it. He was thinking about his family, which was understandable, and what the Zuo family said was very clear.

"You two, I understand what you mean. Since I accepted the Zuo family's invitation, of course I will accept this matter. As for winning or losing, you don't need to take it so seriously. It's just a chess game. It's all about the gain or loss of your reputation. For the time being, if I don’t even dare to play a chess game for the sake of reputation, then what’s the use of such a reputation?”

Hearing this, Zuo Yuan and Zuo Qing looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Chen Zhizhen didn't want to, they probably couldn't force him. But in this case, their relationship with the Wang family would have to go away. Repeatedly.

In the final analysis, the Zuo family was caught between Chen Zhi and the Wang family. If Chen Zhi and the Wang family disagreed, the Zuo family would always offend one of them, and the Zuo family could not afford to offend either of these two sides.

Needless to say too much about the Wang family, Chen Zhi's reputation is gradually rising, and he has a tendency to rise, not to mention the Chen family behind him, who is about to be reused again, and the Zuo family is unwilling to offend.

Now that Chen Zhi has expressed his attitude, it is undoubtedly the best result for the Zuo family.

On the spot, Zuo Yuan wanted to order a banquet to express his gratitude. Considering that the news about the Wang family could not be leaked at will, he said that the scale should be controlled.

Zuo Qing said: "Brother Chen, you should be ready recently. I heard that the Wang family has made an agreement with several other chess masters. They will invite everyone to gather together in the next two days, and then jointly crack the Xiongnu The little prince left Zhenlong behind, and Brother Chen will be able to compete with the others."

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi waved his hands and said something that surprised the two Zuo family members: "This is unnecessary."

"What do you mean?" Zuo Yuan and Zuo Qing were stunned and asked subconsciously.

Chen Zhi said: "I'm going to play chess with that little Hun prince, but I don't intend to break the chess game he left behind. Since it's just a game, I just wait for the Wang family to notify me when they leave, and I will go with them Apricot altar."

"This……"

Zuo Yuan and Zuo Qing looked at each other, very surprised by Chen Zhi's decision. As soon as Chen Zhi agreed, they thought it would go smoothly. However, they did not expect that Chen Zhi had no intention of cracking the chess game left by the little prince. You just want to play chess, but then things become complicated again. The other masters invited by the Wang family are all trying to solve the chess game, but you are the only one who is standing still, which will inevitably lead to criticism from the other invited people.

"Brother Chen," Zuo Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "The little prince is very skilled at chess. There must be merit in the chess games he left behind. Perhaps he can also tell the depth of his chess skills. Why not give it a try?" And There was a subtext that he didn't say out loud, but he suspected that Chen Zhi was still a little shy about his reputation, but Chen Zhi had already agreed to this, so it shouldn't be the case.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I didn't try to break the game because I was reminded by Mr. Jiang Yi. I haven't read the chess record he gave me carefully, but I made a vague discovery, so I made a guess. Making such a decision, in addition..."

Just when the two Zuo family members were confused, Chen Zhi suddenly mentioned something again. "I wonder if those who were defeated by the little prince of the Huns are still in Linyi?"

Although Zuo Yuan was puzzled, he still replied: "After those people were defeated, they were often criticized by the people in the city, so they left one after another. There are only two people living in the city, but they are closed to the outside world."

After hearing this, Chen Zhi nodded and said a few words to the two of them. When the two Zuo family members saw that Chen Zhi wanted to see off his guests, they understood the idea and left without waiting for Chen Zhi to speak.

Once the two of them left, Chen Zhi returned to the table.

"The situation in the court is changing, so something big will happen, right? In this case, I can't be a wandering cloud and a wild crane all the time. I have to find an opportunity..."

After thinking about it, his eyes fell on the table, he picked up the chess book and looked through it.

Outside the door, Zuo Yuan and Zuo Qing were still worrying about this matter after leaving the room.

"How to reply to the Wang family? The person from the Wang family hoped that Brother Chen could use the name of the Zuo family to break the situation first, and then go to Xingtan. As a result, Brother Chen didn't go to break the situation, and the order was messed up." Zuo Qing frowned. He frowned, showing worry, "Besides, our Zuo family is not kind enough in this matter. Let Brother Chen take the lead at this time."

Zuo Yuan sighed helplessly, and the two of them were silent for a while, and then he said: "So we can only go and talk to the Wang family about this matter. In fact, the Wang family is okay, except for the other chess players who were invited by the Wang family this time. Among the masters, there are many with profound family backgrounds. I am afraid of what they have in mind. I heard that there is a member of the Deng family who, after discussing Taoism in Xingtan Forum, will go to the north to become the governor. This is a real powerful figure. If this is done to him, Brother Chen has a prejudice, which is detrimental to his future development."

Zuo Qing nodded and said, "I hope everything goes well. Breaking the situation is actually second to none. I studied with Brother Chen all the way and got to know him a little. He has a reason for everything he does. Since he decided not to break the situation, then There must be his intention.”

Zuo Yuan nodded and said nothing more, but reminded him at the end: "Don't forget, Mr. Chen asked us to contact the two people who were defeated by the Hun Prince before."

The two Zuo family members were talking and walking. When they left the yard, Chen Zhi in the room also put down the chess record and closed his eyes to recall.

He flipped through the pages quickly, and because of his excellent memory, he wrote down every detail as much as possible. As soon as he closed his eyes, a chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines appeared in his eyes [Note 1], and then The black and white pieces are placed on the board one after another.

The black one is as fast as a torrent, and the white one is as stable as a rock.

As the chess game progressed, there was a drama of rapids hitting the rock. The rapids hit the rock one after another, as if they had endless energy, but the rock stood still, waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

But gradually, various ripples appeared in the impact of Heizi's torrent, and finally connected together, falling like a dragnet, trying to engulf Bai Zi. But at this moment, Heizi suddenly exposed a weakness, and was immediately caught by Bai Zi, who launched a deep counterattack .

But what Bai Zi didn't expect was that when he entered the depths of Heizi, the surrounding Heizi quickly surrounded him and began to surround Bai Zi.

"This is really a place of fraud, just to lure the enemy deeper!"

Chen Zhi opened his eyes, the game record of the first game had completely flashed through his mind, the little prince who was holding black, and Jiang Yi who was holding white, had a stalemate for a game, but Jiang Yi fell into a trap at the last moment and fell short. .

"Judging from this situation, Jiang Yi prefers to play steadily and take advantage of every move, which is generally the same as when he broke the game in Kaiyang. In comparison, the little prince of the Xiongnu's chess game is much more fierce and seems to be inexhaustible. Type, the attack is like a violent storm, and it is continuous. This shows that he also has a sophisticated mind and can calculate the subsequent steps while attacking wildly, so that there will be no downtime in the offensive, otherwise it will be like this Offensive, before the enemy was defeated, he lost his rhythm first, Jiang Yi probably got angry because of this..."

While thinking about it, Chen Zhi was suddenly stunned.

"wrong!"

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he closed his eyes again, and soon opened them again. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if he had discovered something.

"Is that the case?"

Thinking like this, he picked up the chess record again, but this time he saw the content of the second game.

Note 1: There is still controversy about this point. This book uses the number nineteen, which is 360, which coincides with the number of Zhou Tian.
