The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 141 Cheng Yuanzhi is happy to win Zhao Yun and Tian Feng
Although his face was slapped hard, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't take it seriously at all.

Outside the gate of the other courtyard, Zhao Yun had already been waiting here, and after a long distance, he bowed to Cheng Yuanzhi and clasped his fists:

"Zhao Yun is late, I have seen the lord."

"Ahahaha... good, good, good!"

Cheng Yuanzhi walked over quickly, held Zhao Yun's arms, shook them heavily a few times, spoke incoherently for a while, and his expression was almost so happy that he lost control.

Laughing loudly and recklessly...

It's not easy!
From the first meeting in Changshan in 185 to the return of Zhao Yun in early 194.

Nine years!

The only good thing is that it took a year less than Liu Bei in the original time and space.

Looking at Zhao Yun, Cheng Yuanzhi's eyes suddenly turned red. He said that even if he was picking up girls, he had never been so patient. He never thought that he would wait nine years for a man!
I don't remember which ancient person once said: Men and women are true love, and men and women are just for reproduction.

At this moment, Cheng Yuanzhi felt that what the ancients said was so damn right!
Even Liu Bei said: Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes.

In this way, it is clear at a glance which is more important.

Not to mention that Cheng Yuanzhi is happy with his true love... general, he will be proud of his life.

But Tian Feng, ever since he was demoted to Bingzhou as the magistrate of the eldest son city, has encountered a lingering enemy and curse!
In fact, strictly speaking, this rival can only be regarded as an opponent, and the two just have different views and different political opinions.

The curse is hard to win!
Last year, Tian Feng was assigned to be the county magistrate in the eldest son city of Shangdang County because he spoke too bluntly.

He thought that Shangdang County was a poor place, so he came here reluctantly to take office.

But unexpectedly, the eldest son city is far more prosperous than he imagined, and both economically and culturally, it is unbelievably developed.

There are not only Shangdang Academy, a large number of contemporary celebrities teaching here, but also Zheng Xuan, a great contemporary Confucian.

The courses taught in the academy include classics, Confucianism, arithmetic, and even a strange chess.

It's called "Military Chess"!
Seeing this scene, Tian Feng immediately became unhappy.

Military chess is a game, how can it be used to teach people?Isn’t this misleading?

Tian Feng intends to use his power to ban this discipline, but he is only a county magistrate, not the prefect of Shangdang - the academy is directly managed by the prefect of Shangdang.

The county magistrate of Changzicheng does not have this power.

However, there is a rule in the academy that anyone can propose reforms, increase or decrease educational subjects.

The premise is that the person who made the opinion must choose one of the courses taught by the academy and defeat the dean Zheng Xuan before he can make the corresponding request.

After learning about these rules, Tian Fenglu became so angry that he wanted to shovel hard when he saw injustice, and immediately rushed to the academy to discuss the theory with the dean Zheng Xuanhao.

From historical inheritance to Confucian scriptures, from astronomy and geography to arithmetic and classics.

Drooling was exhausted, but Zheng Xuan just couldn't win.

Complete defeat!

If you can't beat Zheng Xuan, you can't cancel the "Military Chess" course.

Tian Feng was very angry.

Zheng Xuan suggested with a smile, there is another thing that chess learning is incomparable, it is better to play chess to determine the outcome.

Tian Feng thought about it, he was not Zheng Xuan's opponent at all in other aspects, but playing chess was different. With his extremely resourceful mind, could he lose to this bad old man?
Tian Feng readily accepted the appointment.After a few days of observation in the academy, the rules of shogun were thoroughly studied.

Another three days later, Tian Feng, who was well prepared and full of confidence, came to face the battle.

When the two sides went to war, a gamble was set.

If Tian Feng wins, he will lose [-], and if Zheng Xuan wins, he will lose [-].

Converted into a detailed number, if you bet ten silver coins on Tian Fengsheng, after Tian Feng wins, the bettor will get one hundred silver coins!

On the contrary, Zheng Xuan will pay ten coins for one coin.

Tian Feng saw it, and thought that this game was just to give money to someone like Tian, ​​so he immediately placed a big bet, one hundred silver coins, betting on himself to win.

The two sides are playing dark chess. The two sides occupy one side and cannot see the size of the opponent's army chess. When they collide with each other, a middleman is needed to decide who is bigger and who is smaller. go down.

This chess is an extremely test of memory and calculation ability, because the chess pieces that the opponent has recognized will move back and forth, and it is impossible to mark and note the size when playing chess by hand, so it is difficult for beginners to win (refer to the rules of two-person army chess and dark chess battle).

Refer to Chapter 47 for the name and rules of military chess [the two sides each have a commander (emperor), an army commander (general), two division commanders (chariot generals), two brigade commanders (ten thousand commanders), two regiment commanders (thousand commander), two battalion commanders (centurions), three company commanders (very long), three platoon commanders (corporate commanders), three engineers, two sky mines (bombs), three mines (mines) and one flags...)
In the first game, Tian Feng went first. He placed the emperor in the first row, and he crossed the river with a single click, eating a pawn of unknown size from the opponent.

Then his emperor was blown up by a sky thunder.

Afterwards, before he reached fifty moves, he was killed by Zheng Xuan and smashed through the chessboard, and the military flag was swaggered away.

Lose fast!

In the second round, Tian Feng placed the emperor in the second row... a quick defeat!

In the third round, Tian Feng placed the emperor in the corner of the last row, behind the mines... still a quick defeat!

Because there is no emperor (the back of the mine is equal to dead chess), he didn't even make it to fifty moves in this game.

In the fourth game, Tian Feng ran out of money.

After three rounds, he lost all the three hundred silver coins he brought from Yecheng.

Although the purpose of banning Junqi failed, Tian Feng discovered a joy other than fighting with others.

Military chess is so interesting!

As the county magistrate, he was too free to worry about.

But because he had no money, he couldn't play chess any more—if he played chess without bets, the celebrities of Shangdang Academy wouldn't play with him!
When he ran out of money, Tian Feng began to rack his brains to get money. According to the recent movement in Jizhou, he learned that the lord was recently blocked from Yijing by Gongsun Zan, so he thought hard and offered a plan to dig a tunnel.

According to the rules set by the lord in Jizhou, the most basic reward is one hundred silver coins each time a proposal is accepted. Other rewards depend on the merits of the strategy and the lord's mood.

If you are in a good mood, you will be rewarded more.

The minimum is a guarantee of one hundred silver coins.

Sure enough, Tian Feng's strategy was adopted, and soon he was appointed as the prefect of Shangdang, and rewarded with [-] gold coins (breaking Yijing is a great achievement, and the reward is tripled)
Therefore, Tian Feng, who refused to admit defeat, came to challenge Shangdang Academy again, this time he decided to challenge himself.

Zheng Xuan was too powerful, he felt that he couldn't do it.

Tian Feng picked left and right, and chose Xun Shuang.

This time, Tian Feng learned the lesson of the last fiasco - betting too much, this time he bet ten silver coins.

From Xun Shuang, Shen Tupan, Xiang Kai, Han Rong, Chen Ji, Chen Chen, etc., Tian Feng challenged the fourteen celebrities one by one.

Total defeat!

The money in my pocket was lost again.

Tian Feng, who began to worry about money again, suddenly had an idea, yes, he is now the prefect of Shangdang, and has the right to manage the academy...

He immediately threatened all the celebrities in the academy that everyone must return half of the money they won from him, otherwise the course of military chess will be banned!
Tian Feng said arrogantly: "I am the prefect of Shangdang!"

Considering that the prefect of Shangdang was the immediate superior and could directly govern the academy, the fifteen scholars including Zheng Xuan had no choice but to refund half of the money to Tian Feng.

After that, everyone spoke harshly and never played chess with Tian Feng again.

They were afraid that after winning Tian Feng's money, they would be asked to return it.

Tian Feng snorted coldly and left with his head held high.

He was not afraid of this threat. Anyway, after becoming the prefect, his affairs became busy and he needed to worry about state affairs, so he didn't have much time to play chess.

After a good analysis of the situation, Tian Feng, who was in charge of the government, wrote a letter solemnly, advising the lord not to go south.

But within two days, the order to demote came.

This order came inexplicably!

It's fine if the lord didn't adopt the trick, and he was demoted.

Tian Feng felt that he was wronged. He swears to God that he will never hate the lord this time. The wording in the letter is very friendly and polite.

But there is no way, he turned back to the eldest son of the county magistrate who is idle and has a small official.

When this person is free, he wants to play chess.

In Shangdang Academy, Tian Feng lost another [-] rounds in a row.

Lost all the money again.

Because he was not the prefect of Shangdang, he was severely ridiculed by all the celebrities.

Two days later, the appointment of Tian Fengguan's reinstatement came again.

Why say it again?
Because this is the second time Tian Feng has served as the prefect of the Shangdang within half a month.

Tian Feng went to the academy aggressively again...

Satisfied, he brought back half of the silver coins he lost this time—a quarter of all the silver coins he lost.

150 coins!
