Chapter 2 Sand table game

The departure of the two did not change the atmosphere in the field. The maid in green immediately passed the message, and the maid in blue immediately left a son.

As the chess pieces marched, Fang Ling seemed to have no idea and moved his chess pieces casually.

Seeing Fang Ling playing chess so quickly, the maid in blue could not help but glance at the young man in surprise, and then quickly called out Fang Ling's playing chess. As soon as the voice fell, the maid in blue immediately called out the maid in Mo family's playing chess.

With the sound of the two men playing chess, the speed of playing chess was significantly accelerated. Apart from the two women's chanting, there was the gentle sound of playing chess. One man played chess, the other man immediately played chess again, and they went back and forth without any stagnation.

The two maids couldn't help but look at each other and looked at each other. They followed Mo Xiang for many years and knew how superb Mo Xiang's chess skills were. Even today's national-level masters may not be her opponent.

On the Star Piercing Tower five times in five years, the two girls have also seen many talented people. They are all suave, knowledgeable, but none of them have entered the third level and are always defeated in the second level.

Although the three levels are different every year, this endgame battle this year is undoubtedly the most difficult.

However, the young man in front of him was not at all inferior to the lady's fast chess. Often the lady's son fell down, and his son immediately followed without hesitation, especially the calm expression, without any tension at all, as if everything was under control.

Seven tenths of incense, eight tenths of incense, and nine tenths of incense. When the incense is over, Fang Ling walks in one chess game, and there are still chess games in the chess game. There are three or four sons left on both sides, which just matches the meaning of "seven-star party".

The two girls also sighed secretly and subconsciously brushed their chests gently, as if they had finished a wonderful competition. Although it was a chess game, the scene was thrilling. The two of them competed with each other and no one was at a disadvantage. This match meant that the young master in front of him had successfully passed the second level.

The maid in blue gave a little blessing and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Fang for passing the second level. Please follow me to the third floor."

Walking up the stairs, Fang Ling smelled a faint scent of rouge. The fragrance was as elegant as orchids in a deep valley. When he walked up the third floor, he saw a dark purple curtain in the middle of the tower. In the curtain, there seemed to be a woman sitting. Although he could not see the appearance, the graceful figure and the faint orchid fragrance that penetrated in the hazy makes people yearn for it. This woman is obviously a lady of the Mo family.

The Mo family lady was behind the curtain, but Fang Ling's eyes did not stop for her for a long time, but fell on the table in front of the curtain. Seeing the things on the table clearly, Fang Ling couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

What was displayed on the table was actually a sand table. For Fang Ling, who was familiar with the situation at the border, he could tell at a glance that this was the sand table on the borders of Chu and Cai outside Bingzhou!

The so-called sand table refers to a terrain model made of mud and sand. It has a history of thousands of years and is widely used in the military. Whenever the two armies fight, they always have to build sand tables to simulate the terrain and the deployment of both sides' forces, and infer the possible wars that may occur between the enemy and us.

Fang Ling was very concerned about border wars, so he could recognize the location displayed on the sand table at a glance, not to mention that the city was marked on it.

The sand table in front of me is divided into three parts, one of which is an important town outside the state of Bingzhou, Chu, the corresponding important town in the border town of Cai, and the blank buffer zone between the borders.

In addition to marking out important towns and cities in the border areas, the terrain in the middle buffer zone is also marked.

Just as Fang Ling was observing the sand table, Mo Xiang was looking at the boy outside through the curtain. Although she couldn't see her appearance, according to the little maid secretly, she was a handsome and handsome young man.

In the past five years, there have been no less than a few hundred talented people coming to pass the level, but this is the only one who can reach the third level. Moreover, watching chess is like watching people. When the game was just now, Mo Xiang seemed to have seen a young man with her own eyes. Her chess style is quite elegant and decisive, and she has a sensation of extraordinary spirit.

Mo Xiang secretly admired her a little, then opened her red lips and said, "Young Master Fang is very good at chess. The way of playing chess implies the style of a general. The girl felt a lot in the game just now."

The voice of the Mo family lady was like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, revealing a fresh feeling, spotless, and it felt particularly comfortable in her ears. Fang Ling turned her eyes away from the sand table and smiled faintly: "Miss Mo has been too much. The lady's chess technique is like flowing water, with a hidden mystery. She can only win in a dangerous way."

Mo Xiangying smiled and said, "Young Master Fang is so modest. I don't know which master is under the chess skills?"

Fang Ling replied: "I am a family-born chess technique, so I can't count as a big shot."

Mo Xiang said, "It turns out that Mr. Fang's family is a Shuxiang family. It seems that he is not a native of Bingzhou."

Fang Ling smiled and said, "I am in Bingzhou further north."

Mo Xiang paused slightly and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Fang has any understanding of the sand table in front of him?"

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "I heard something a little bit. Are you planning to use this sand table as the third level?"

Mo Xiang nodded and said, "That's right, the battle is like a chess game, and it's even better than a chess game. Its changes are unpredictable and strange. Mr. Fang doesn't mind you and me fighting against each other on this sand table, right?"

"Miss Mo is the one who sets up the barrier, I am the one who passes the barrier. You are the master, so my guest is naturally Xi Tingzun." Fang Ling laughed and looked at the girl on the curtain with interest. Unexpectedly, she not only likes chess but also likes this sand table game, which is rare.

Although the chess game implies wisdom, it is a dead chess after all. However, in this sand table, the two armies are all flesh and blood, without chess patterns and no restrictions. Taking people as their own hands, the ability to maximize human wisdom is a living chess game.

Fortunately, I have reached this third level. If other scholars really come here, I will probably be able to sigh.

I heard Mo Xiang say, "In the third level of sand table, you and I will ask and answer each other, each occupying one side, and dispatching troops. Whoever can get the first city to win the other side will be considered the winner."

Fang Ling nodded slightly and listened to Mo Xiang continue to say: "On the sand table is a section of the border of our country, Chu and Cai. There is one important town, and there are some small towns. Among them, the important town of Cai is called Qinglong Pass, with a garrison of 50,000 troops and two small towns on both sides, namely Bangang City, Ji'an City, Yifeng City and Sandu City. Among them, two cities are 5,000 troops and horses, and two cities are 10,000 troops. The corresponding important town of Tantou Pass in my country has garrison of 30,000 troops, there are Gaobu and Rentang City on the left, and Shunchang City on the right, with 5,000 troops and horses. Although the troops are insufficient to Cai, the terrain of our country is relatively dangerous, including big lakes, hills and thorny forests. One side has strong troops and the other side has terrain of terrain. I wonder which side Mr. Fang is willing to choose?"

The comparison between the two sides is obviously very obvious. The total strength of the five cities of Cai State reached 80,000, while the Chu State's soldiers were only 45,000. Even though Chu State has geographical advantages, ordinary people may still choose Cai State when they think about it.

However, Fang Ling smiled and said, "As soon as he was a member of Chu, he naturally chose Chu."

Seeing that Fang Ling did not choose Cai because of the strong and powerful state of Cai, Mo Xiang smiled and said, "Young Master Fang is so arrogant. Then Young Master Fang is the guardian general of Tantou Pass, and the young woman is the guardian general of Qinglong Pass. What the young woman wants to ask is, if Qinglong Pass comes with 40,000 troops and comes directly to Huanglong, if Young Master Fang is the guardian general of Tantou Pass, how can he resolve this crisis without asking for help from the country?"

Fang Ling thought for a moment, his eyes slid across the sand table, and replied: "Since he was hitting the Yellow Dragon directly, he would definitely be rushing and coming with lightning speed, so the route must be crossing the hilly area in the middle. I can set up 30,000 people in the hilly area in Tantou Pass. Although there is a huge gap in military strength, as far as I know, the terrain of the border hilly area outside Bingzhou is complex and changeable. We have all the geographical advantages. As long as the ambush is set up properly, we can force 40,000 troops to retreat."

When Mo Xiang saw Fang Ling's understatement, he solved this problem. He knew that the young man was not only quick-witted and had a skill in responding to the enemy. He immediately said: "Although Qinglong Pass retreated, there is still a big lake. The two thorn forests can be connected. Qinglong Pass soldiers and horses guarded in front of the hills can restrain 30,000 troops at Tantou Pass. At the same time, in Bangang, Ji'an and two cities mobilized 10,000 troops to come from the direction of the lake. Yifeng, Sandu and two cities mobilized 10,000 troops to come from the direction of the thorn land to assist Qinglong Pass in surround the Tantou Pass. What should the young master do?"

Fang Ling smiled slightly. The method of transferring the army was quite like a general. He adopted the method of heavy troops to suppress the enemy. If he was shocked by the momentum of the army, his position would be exposed when he was in chaos. However, Fang Ling was not willing to go with him. When it comes to military combat, he was not inferior to others.

He said calmly: "I will mobilize Gao Bu and Rentang's two cities, a total of 10,000 troops, light and simple travel, and raided the small town of Baigang, Cai's country. Because Baigang, Ji'an has mobilized 10,000 troops, and the remaining troops in the two cities are only 5,000. Although Miss Mo mobilized the army to face the brink, it has caused emptiness in the city. Once attacked, it will be taken down immediately!"

Mo Xiang was not panicked and said calmly: "The little woman will order the marching of Bangang City 2 to withdraw 5,000 troops and return to the city to rescue emergency, and at the same time, she ordered the remaining 10,000 defenders in Qinglong Pass to reinforce at any time."

Fang Ling nodded secretly when he heard this. Although Mo Xiang was a woman, her way of using troops was also good. With 10,000 troops from Qinglong Pass, 5,000 troops from Bangang City, and 5,000 troops from Bangang City, and 5,000 returning to the city, he could defend Bangang City.

However, the method of dispatching troops was exactly what Fang Ling meant. He smiled slowly and said: "The troops mobilized by Gaobu's three cities raided the city as a vain. The real intention was to wait for Miss Mo's return to defense. Our army would set up an ambush halfway, and when Miss Mo's 5,000 troops arrived, they would kill him! In this way, Miss Mo's troops would lose 50,000, and then quickly marched towards our border and killed the remaining 5,000 people in the half mount!"
