Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four: Chinese Military Account and General Seal
Bai Ye was stunned by his question.
There are many different opinions on the meaning of the word "xiang" in chess, and there is still no unified answer to this day. However, one of the more recognized statements now is that this means "symbol, represent".
Combining the two groups of words "Chu River" and "Hanjie" on the chessboard, it is not difficult to find that chess represents the history of the Chu-Han dispute between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
Yang Ni asked and answered: "The story of Emperor Gaozu killing the white snake is well-known and familiar, but there is one detail, that is, after the white snake died, the crying old woman said that her son was the son of Baidi and was killed by the son of Chidi. After that, Liu Bang called himself the son of Chidi, and even the flag in the army changed to red."
After a pause, he continued, "The cloaks of the eight thousand Jiangdong children of Xiang Yu are all black. He himself likes black very much. Even the mounts of black horses are black, so he uses black to represent the Chu army."
Huang Zhong was always paying attention to listening to Yang Ni's words. When he heard this, he suddenly realized: "I understand, so in chess, the black side uses generals to represent Xiang Yu who charges in the battle, and the red side uses handsome men, represent Liu Bang who is strategizing."
Yang Ni nodded with a smile.
Bai Ye thought something and looked at Yang Ni but didn't say anything.
When Cookies heard them talk about what happened thousands of years ago, they were already impatient and excitedly caught up with Ma San.
Yang Ni found that there would be no danger here, so he did not stop him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them entered, they heard a scream from the cookies.
The four people outside quickly followed in.
He lifted the curtain of the tent, and four men entered in one after another, and were ready for battle.
However, Cookie and Ma San stood in front of a statue, and there seemed to be no accident.
Seeing Yang Ni come in, the sword and shield were already in his hand. Cookie knew that his screams just now scared everyone. She stuck out her tongue and lowered her head and said, "As soon as I entered the door, I saw this big black tiger. I thought I was living, but it scared them."
Yang Ni had already seen what the black statue was.
The statue is about 2 and a half meters high and is carved from a black material.
It was a tiger roaring with its mouth, vivid and lifelike. Not to mention cookies, even Yang Ni was shocked at first sight.
Bai Ye stood under the tiger's head, looked up and said strangely: "What is this? Why is there such a thing in the tent?"
Yang Ni was watching carefully around the black tiger statue, and then heard the cookie exclaim: "Ah, this big tiger can still talk."
Ma Sanli was closest, and was frightened by her two screams, and complained with a frown: "My aunt, can you stop making a fuss? I was almost scared by you when I was scared to death by my heart. If this continues, my opponent will not come. I was scared to death by you first. Besides, how could this stone tiger speak?"
Cookie said unwillingly: "Why can't you? If you don't believe me, put your hand on the tiger and take a look."
Yang Ni knew that although Cookie was a little reckless, she would not make trouble deliberately in this environment. It must be because of the reason, so he gently pressed his hand on Heihu as he said.
Sure enough, a roar of the sky tiger sounded in my mind, and then a very majestic voice sounded:
"The Chu Army General Seal, the completeness is 100%. If the completeness reaches zero, the game will fail."
Except for Liang Chun, the rest of the people put their hands on Heihu and heard this without any surprise.
Ma San said, "Oh, it's really a matter of fact. It seems that this tiger is the [General] we need to protect in the rules of the game."
Yang looked in the tent a few times and said, "Yes, this should be true. This tent is the Central Army tent."
Huang Zhong seemed a little afraid of the mighty tiger statue, and said carefully: "What's going on with this completeness? Are we going to stay here all the time?"
Yang Ni walked to the back of the Black Tiger statue, where there was a long table with an oil lamp and a few rolls of bamboo slips.
He picked up a roll of bamboo slips, blew the dust on it, slowly spread it out, and replied with his mouth: "The completeness should be the health value of this seal. Whenever it is attacked, the completeness will decrease accordingly. Once it becomes 0, our game will fail."
Bai Ye pinched his chin and pondered: "That's right, only in this way can the description that the general in the rules of the game are located in the central army tent. Similarly, we can also infer from this that there should be something similar in the central army tent of the Han army on the other side. We can win as long as we destroy it."
Yang Ni put down the bamboo slips in his hand, picked up a scroll and opened it to look carefully, and said, "Then the essence of this game is very clear. It is to protect our Black Tiger General Seal and try its best to destroy the other party's."
The cookie rubbed his hands, and a spark appeared, and said excitedly: "What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
Before Yang Ni could speak, Bai Ye continued: "This is not appropriate. What if we all leave and the other party comes to touch it? In my opinion, we still have to make long-term plans."
Ma San had injured Bai Ye before, and had a little guilty feeling towards him, and replied: "This is OK. We will follow the rules of the game, Xiang, Shishou's family, and the others will kill them all the way."
Before Bai Ye, who was a [Photo], nodded and agreed, Cookie pouted and said, "I don't want to stay at home here, I'm going to fight."
Her mental power has reached about 330 now. As long as she is given enough time to prepare, she can condense three fireballs in one breath. Her attack power is second only to Huang Zhong, who is transformed into a fire skull, and is much stronger than Yang Ni without Liang Chun’s support.
Of course, she still relies heavily on teammates for the most quasi-battery role.
Seeing that his teammates had been arguing, Yang Ni said, "I have different opinions."
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by himself, he continued: "The rules of the game say that Chu and Han were separated by a boundary river, but we didn't see the river all the way, so I think the other party should be a long distance away from us. I suggest that it is best to activate the exclusive skills of our respective chess pieces first and then make other plans."
Bai Ye nodded in agreement: "That's right. Now our role as chess pieces is to limit the number of times crossing the river, which is a negative state. So I think the so-called exclusive skills should be very powerful, and only in this way can we make up for this shortcoming."
If one extra skill can be used, both offense and defense will be greatly enhanced. Moreover, since it is a chess game, everyone has played different pieces. Now they want to know what their exclusive skill will be, so they nodded in agreement.
