The time in the afternoon is slow, the weather is hot, a slight breeze blows on the face, and the lake surface is rippling. At the most tiring time of the day, the entire Tianhe Park is sparsely populated, and it seems to be as slow as an old pendulum with no chain.
Under the shade of the tree, the game of chess between the two old men unfolded as usual. They set up the chess game as skillfully as a housewife playing with pots and pans. The dappled sunlight penetrated the leaves and cast shimmering dots on the stone chessboard. In an instant, the war clouds were thick and the troops were in full swing.
Making a pot of good tea and a few tea cakes is like the clearest time after retirement. In your twilight years, you should have a clear understanding of the world. The opponent's chess moves are also well understood after years of playing games.
The boundaries between Chu and Han are clearly defined, the troops and horses are in an orderly formation, the chariots, artillery and baggage are sufficient, and there is sufficient food and grass. The generals and ministers are on standby in armor. The situation is about to break out.
Hong Zi Xing, the first-mover army can both attack and defend, but it also has the worry of exposing its motives. The old man holding the red piece was not willing to let the old man blue see through his troop layout, so he set up the cannon as usual and chose the most moderate offensive and defensive posture. The old man Lanzi quickly patted his horse to slow down the pawns. Hongzi raised his pawns on the left, and Lanzi again raised his pawns on the right. They all moved back and forth for more than ten times, skillfully and quickly. The chariots and horses boiled, the smoke suddenly rose, the horns shook the sky, and the armies from all walks of life were ready to move.
After the two sides completed their formation, they fell into deep thought and took a sip of hot tea. Old Man Hongzi tapped his fingers on the stone table and measured carefully. He was used to thinking in this way. The old man Lanzi rubbed his hands frequently, feeling anxious and eager to know how Hongzi would unfold. The two sides are engaged in a scheming game. They are neither willing to take the initiative to attack nor show weakness. They hope to set up false traps to lure the other side into the game, but are full of suspicion and fear of attracting wolves into the house.
Currently, both sides have unharmed soldiers. They are planning carefully and are complacent but also harbor evil intentions.
A round of hot tea warmed his throat, and the old man Hongzi's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he made up his mind to lead his army in. The vehicles and artillery on the right route penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, watching eagerly. Old man Lan Zi assisted in the defense, and the troops and horses from all walks of life cooperated flawlessly. Hongzi's back and forth was less than half a point advantage. As the enemy's troops and horses increased, Lanzi's right position was blocked and there was a big stalemate.
The old man Lanzi is kind and gentle. Seeing that Hongzi has many soldiers and has penetrated deeply, the middle army is empty. If he wants to break the formation, he must give up the small game and the big game, so he allows the defensive army to be passive, and the two pawns are swept by the red man. The battlefield suddenly looked crisp and clean. The old man Hongzi was playing with the two pawns back and forth, and he was very happy with the trophies he got one after another.
The old man Lanzi frowned and was wily and resourceful. He used his unexpected thunderous force to clear the way with his chariot and heavy artillery to help defend. They fought on the left side and killed Hongzi Yixiang with his sword. Hongzi was in chaos for a while and hurriedly mobilized his troops to return to defense. However, they were out of reach, and when soldiers and horses rushed to help, another horse on the left was eaten. From visual inspection, it seemed that Hongzi's troops were approaching the city from the left, and the situation took a turn for the worse.
After all, the old man Hongzi has gone through decades of ups and downs. Although he is anxious, he still finds ways to turn the situation around and remains calm in the face of danger. A pot of hot tea was being sipped back and forth, and pastries were scattered like a chess game. In the back and forth confrontation, both sides suffered losses, and during the deliberation, the situation changed unpredictably. In this military matter, there are countless ways to win with less and more by surprise.
In the middle of the battle, the old man Hongzi lost his troops on the left, while the old man Lanzi was blocked on the right and could not hold down his troops. He wanted to charge and attack but lacked combat power. However, Hongzi could not deploy troops and horses, but he could still hold the commander's tent firmly. The situation gradually became anxious for the old man Lanzi. Although he used his bows to gain the upper hand, there was no breakthrough in the end. This was naturally not a good thing. If the enemy cannot take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack and give the enemy a chance to breathe, the situation may often take a turn for the worse.
The shadows of the trees are whirling, the light is mottled and blurry, the air is sultry and restrained, and the cicadas are chirping incessantly. It is noon, and the few tourists are walking slowly like clocks about to stop. The two old men are in a stalemate, and their soldiers and horses are slightly tired after many rounds of battles. A few tourists who passed by gathered at the stone table and whispered some drawing ideas.
The old man Lanzi finally couldn't hold it anymore, drank all the tea in the cup, and made a bold decision. The art of commanding troops lies in the magic. The old man hoped to mobilize the blocked troops on the right and fight with all his strength. The chess game is like this, and it is often unpredictable within a square inch. The situation was very favorable to the old man Lanzi. After a few rounds, Hongzi couldn't resist, and the remaining Xiang was eaten again, and the Chinese army defeated another guard. At this time, Hongzi's Chinese army guards were almost all lost, and the city was empty.
The old man Hongzi kept playing with the pawn he had captured earlier, tapping the chess piece on the stone table with a far-reaching and determined gaze. He understood that the rear defense was extremely dangerous at this time, and if he made one more mistake, there would be no way to make a comeback. Every piece in this chess game has been played to make it shiny and shiny, indicating that these chess games are played every day.
We don’t have many troops, but we have to plan our strategy to win a thousand-mile victory. The two sides clashed again, and each suffered losses. Lanzi was careless and was eaten up by a tank. But it did not affect the situation of the battle at all. It only slowed down the attack rhythm slightly, but it seemed that the troops were already overwhelming and victory was guaranteed. Then the elephant guard will be safe and there will be no worries. There was relief between his brows and eyes.
Lanzi can actually attack the commander's camp at any time, but the old man hopes that everything will be more perfect and the use of troops and horses will be superb. After all, all the tourists are on Hongzi's side and making suggestions. Old man Lanzi doesn't mind Hongzi surviving, but it will make his victory more abundant.
"Check!" Old Man Hongzi spoke for the first time since the chess game started. You don't even need to watch the chess game anymore. Just listening to the sound already knows that the chess game is over.
The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city. The troops at the top are strategizing, and the troops at the bottom are making plans.
Isn’t this human story as fresh as a chess game? What seems to be in control is actually like quicksand; what is within the square inches of a chess game may not be all-encompassing; what is most widely spread may not be true;
There is a saying in "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty": But the world of Suo Ke was formerly known as the world of Saha, which is wrong! However, Sumeru Mountain, formerly known as Xumi Mountain, is a lie!
Means: The current Saha world in Buddhism is wrong. It is actually called the Suo Ke world. In Buddhism, Mount Sumeru is also a wrong translation. It is actually called Sumeru Mountain.
