Chapter 20 Small Things are also the Way to Save Soldiers

He ordered people to take the paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Because of the pain in his back, Liu Yanzhao asked Qilang to bring a pen and tell the rules of chess in his previous life. Although the latter did not understand, he still recorded it quickly.

After taking the paper, Qilang's small words were not bad. Liu Yanzhao blew two breaths happily, dried the handwriting, and then gave the order again in the eyes of everyone's doubts.

"Which of you can play with woodcuts?"

Tian Han, who knew a lot about his unique skills, immediately replied, "Li dared to be a meeting. He was a carpenter in the village before he joined the army."

"Very good, Li Dangdang, can you make a round wood piece that is one and a half foot long and half a foot thick and engraved with words?"

Hearing Liu Yanzhao's question, a thin man poked his head out, "My boss, this is very simple, but where does this wood come from?"

"Wood? It's not simple. You take a few brothers to the room and take materials there. It's just right to help chopping wood, and you won't be embarrassed. Nuo, this is the word to be engraved. Don't leave it behind.

He handed over a piece of paper that Qilang had just written. The latter came forward to take it. After a look, he patted Liu Yanzhao on the chest with a smile, "Don't worry, my leader, my subordinates will definitely go early and come back early!"

After Li Dangdang left with a few people, Liu Yanzhao couldn't help thinking about another thing. He had chess pieces. What should be used to replace this chessboard?

Looking for it in the room, I landed on the painted table for a long time. There was nothing good. Is it possible to tear down the only broken table?

This doesn't work. There will definitely be some inconvenience in life. Continue to look at the house, and it seems that there is nothing to make materials.

It's better to draw a chessboard on the masonry on the ground. Even if you don't want to play, you can erase it with a few steps. This is also convenient, but it's not a way to always squat.

Since it can't be painted on the ground, you might as well engrave it on the table.

Liu Yanzhao's mind flashed and immediately asked someone to move the table in front of him. Because his back injury had not yet healed, he told Qilang to do it.

Using paper as a ruler, I quickly drew squares on the table with a brush. Fortunately, the table has been used for a long time, and the vermilion paint has dropped a lot, otherwise the ink color would not be so obvious.

Next, although Qilang still didn't understand, he still followed Liu Yanzhao's instructions and carved out the square with a dagger, and carved the words 'Chuhe Hanjie' in the middle.

Everything was done, and Qilang finally couldn't help it. "Sixth brother, are you going to be like a play?"

"Exact"

It's almost done. Liu Yanzhao is naturally in a good mood. He took out the paper of the rules he had just written and pointed to the chessboard drawn on the table to explain.

After half a cup of tea, Qilang took the lead in nodding and responded, "Sixth Brother, your rules are simple and sounds very interesting. It's just that when will you play like a play? I remember that you once wanted to learn, but you were not taught by anyone. After that, I didn't hear about it. I thought that Brother Six gave up."

"My elephant play is not an ordinary elephant play. This Chuhe Han world is the boundary between Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, and Han Gaozu in history. Therefore, this is not just a game. It is created, but for you to learn military tactics."

"Can this learn military tactics?"

A group of big soldiers who had just understood the rules thought it was a pastime. When they heard Liu Yanzhao say that they could learn the art of war, they were immediately surprised.

"Don't underestimate these squares. It is an all-encompassing thing. It is still the battlefield in the future, and Li Dang thinks that the chess pieces they made are generals, so you should carefully consider every step taken above. If you make a wrong step, you will lose the whole game."

After Liu Yanzhao said this, everyone's face became solemn. On the battlefield, the soldiers are chess pieces. Such an elephant play can indeed learn the art of war. At present, they admire Liu Yanzhao even more.

An hour later, Li Dangdang came back with 32 chess pieces and took a few of them. He did a good job and polished them all. The words on it were also engraved strong and powerfully, and his craftsmanship was really good.

"You did a good job. You dare to be a Li. I can't see that you still have this hand. I didn't expect that I was also hiding dragons and crouching tigers here!"

When chess was done well, Liu Yanzhao was also much happier, so he joked a few words. Li Dangdang lowered his head a little embarrassedly in exchange for everyone's smile.

He was ordered to paint the words on the 16 pieces of chess pieces in ink to make a difference. Under the mouth and fan of a group of people, the ink finally dried, and Liu Yanzhao also began to demonstrate in the expectation and admiration of a group of subordinates.

"No, that's it. According to the rules you just saw, the two of them are going to fight, do you understand?"

"I see, I see..."

In addition to practicing in the camp, they are waiting to kill the enemy. When is there a pastime, let alone learn the way of platooning. A group of men are staring at the table and want to go forward to play a game.

"Sixth brother, you are really, too. You can play like a play and don't teach your younger brother. Otherwise, you can have more fun when you are at home."

Qilang gave up his position and walked to Liu Yanzhao's side. There was a little strange resentment in his words, but the latter asked people to hand over the teacup, took two bites, wiped his mouth and smiled and said, "Is it possible that the seventh brother is not happy at home? Then I have to talk to my mother and several sisters-in-law and let them treat you better.

"You made fun of me again!"

Qilang stared at Liu Yanzhao angrily and picked up the teacup. It happened that the game on the table began, so he did not entangle him and went straight forward to watch.

Slowly lying down to **, looking at a group of big and three thick men around the table, and even taking off their shoes and standing on the bed to watch, Liu Yanzhao suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. At least just now, he had flapped his wings.

"Well, what do you say, people who watch chess are not allowed to make a sound. Playing chess is like a game, and the authorities are confused and the onlookers are clear. At that time, where will you bystanders on the battlefield say!"

Laughing and scolding the people who couldn't help talking, these guys, don't you know that you are a real gentleman?

However, when talking with them, a gentleman is also playing the piano to a cow. It's better to scold a few words. After laughing and scolding, Liu Yanzhao is also a little happy in his heart. Is it possible that he has fallen in love with this day without concealing his temperament?

I suppressed this idea in my heart. In order to survive, I had to take out a disguise to sneak into those pretentious scholars and doctors. I'm afraid this unrestrained life has nothing to do with him.

Looking up at Qilang's nervous face, a smile appeared on Liu Yanzhao's face. Anyway, someone can enjoy their own choices. Maybe this is not a bad thing.

He was scolded by Liu Yanzhao several times, and the room was much quieter, but every time one side was defeated, there would still be all kinds of quarrels to discuss the game just now. In this way, these men who felt empty had the energy. Unconsciously, the day passed like this.

After eating the dinner taken by Zhang Yun and others from the kitchen, Liu Yanzhao lay in ** for a long time, so he asked Qilang to help him to sit outside the house.

Those subordinates were still obsessed with chess. In the afternoon, he asked Li Gan to make four sets of chess pieces. As for the evening, there was a table in each room, which was carved according to the gourd, so that each pair did not need to be crowded around a group of people.

The wind is blowing at night. Although it is mixed with the heat that has not dissipated on the ground, it is still much more comfortable than in the house. Looking back at the figure under the oil lamp in the room, Liu Yanzhao couldn't help laughing and scolding, "These bastards are really crazy!"

He really underestimated the impact of chess.

Looking at Qilang around him and looking at the room from time to time, Liu Yanzhao knew that this boy was also very itchy. He could also understand that chess has been popular for thousands of years. This ** can't be resisted by ordinary people.

However, there is still something to tell Qilang to do now. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Qilang and pulled his attention over. "Don't look at the seventh brother. I know you want to play two rounds, but the sixth brother has something to do."

He came to his senses reluctantly, and Qilang's eyes were still staring at the chessboard. "What's the sixth brother?"

"Go to the eldest brother's barracks and ask him about his injury, and ask about today's practice by the way. Go quickly. You can go home in a few days. I'll give you a pair of chess and teach you other ways to play?"

Hearing this, Qilang was in interest and strode out with joy, "The sixth brother made a promise, but he can't go back on his word. I'll go there immediately!"

Listening to the quarrels in the room from time to time, Liu Yanzhao just leaned his right shoulder gently on the threshold and looked at one or two stars faintly visible in the distant sky.

He unconsciously became in a trance, and his heart unconsciously loosened, and he suddenly felt a little sour. He used to like to watch the sunset and moonrise on the balcony at home.

"Brother Six, Brother Six...!"

There was a call in my ear. It was Qilang who came back. Liu Yanzhao quickly turned his head and squeezed his slightly sour eyes. "The wind at night is really good, but it's easy to blow dust into your eyes, which is annoying."

Seeing that there were still questions on Qilang's face, Liu Yanzhao quickly turned the topic away, "Brother, how are their injuries? Didn't there be any trouble in today's practice?"

"The eldest brother is almost ready. He has trauma medicine. When he learned that we had run out, he asked me to bring some for the sixth brother," he said. Qilang handed over a blue bottle in his hand. "As for the practice, it's still yesterday's exercise style, but I haven't heard anything about life. I think it's normal."

That's true. Yesterday, Liu Jiye's anger should have shocked the sergeant. Although he was reluctant, at least it could make the two sides practice together. After being in contact for a long time, the estrangement will naturally be much less.

"It's okay if you have nothing to do." Liu Yanzhao stood up slowly with a smile and turned around and walked to the room. "There is medicine. I finally don't suffer anymore. Seventh brother, why are you still stunned? Why don't you come in and give medicine to the sixth brother!"

Qi Lang was stunned for a moment. Before he understood why the sixth brother was so sad, he heard the sound of urging in his ear. He quickly took his mind and strode into the room and put medicine on Liu Yanzhao's back.
