Qin Yuan was slightly stunned. Jia Shixian was such a great chess player!

If he had not suffered the harm of AI in his previous life and been abused to the point of tears on the Internet, he probably would not have been able to withstand his methods.

He asked calmly, "What do you mean, Master Jia?"

At the same time, White gave up on robbing the dragon and instead responded to the attack.

The subordinates watching on all gasped.

I didn't expect that the host's black chess pieces were so tenacious that they could create a life-and-death crisis in a difficult situation.

Jia Shixian took the white piece from the dragon's throat with an expressionless face and threw it aside.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he continued, "Thirty years ago, Jia lost a game of chess to Zhang Jiangling, and since then he has been working for the Great Zhou."

"Ten years ago, I lost half a piece to Zhang Jiangling and promised him that I would never actively rebel or frame the empress in this lifetime."

"Otherwise, how could the Empress have survived until today with her skills?"

"Not even a bone is left!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another subordinate came flying over and brought the latest battle situation in Haoshuichuan.

I see!

After Jia Shixian's explanation, Qin Yuan finally found answers to all the questions in his mind.

Before this, he had always been strange.

Why is Jia Shixian so contradictory? He clearly wants to kill Yan Jiaoran, this stupid woman, but he has never taken the initiative to do anything.

He had been secretly trying to deceive Yan Jiaoran, adding fuel to the fire and encouraging others to take action.

So that's the reason.

He promised Zhang Jiangling not to take the initiative.

It seems that Zhang Jiangling not only won the chess game, but also broke the game that Jia Shixian painstakingly set up.

In this way, Zhang Jiangling really cares about this stupid woman.

It’s such a pity that I traveled through time too late and couldn’t meet this legendary figure!

Qin Yuan was lost in thought.

Jia Shixian's black chess piece pushed the white piece at the throat of the dragon, starting a fight for the piece.

Qin Yuan's white piece immediately rushed into the eye position of the isolated black piece. If Jia Shixian did not respond, even if the black dragon escaped, the isolated eye position would be broken, which would still be a dead end.

Good water river.

It only took about an hour.

The 7,000 men led by Li Shibin have been forced into a desperate situation.

Li Shibin was defeated and was about to commit suicide by raising his sword, but was stopped by his personal guards. The guards hugged his waist and shouted, "General! A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Leave behind a useful body!"

Li Shibin's cheek was injured, and his words were vague, but his meaning was clear: "I, Ren Fu, am a general. If I am defeated, I will die for my country!"

As he said this, he broke free from his personal guards, jumped onto the cliff wall, leaped onto the ridge, swung his four-edged iron mace, and smashed the heads of two Shen Ce Army soldiers into pieces.

The remaining soldiers shouted and rushed forward. Li Shibin waved his iron mace wildly and grabbed a foothold in the chaotic army.

Soon, all the personal soldiers around him were killed in battle.

Li Shibin's iron mace was broken, and his body was covered in blood. He laughed loudly, "Your Highness! I will fight for you in my next life!"

As he said this, he grabbed his throat with one hand and crushed his larynx.

Afterwards, the sounds of fighting gradually died down. More than a dozen barbed wire fences were stained with the flesh and blood of wounded soldiers and dead horses. The cliff walls were nailed with arrows, broken spears and discarded swords were scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed like a stream in the river.

…

At Geling, the chess game continues.

The outcome of a life-or-death game of chess often takes only a few moves, but this time it was exceptionally long.

The fight for the dragon's throat started by Jia Shixian is still going on. Both the black and white sides make full use of every piece of material, repeatedly fighting for the vital position at the dragon's throat.

The piece Qin Yuan selected at Tianyuan became the key. The black dragon was only one breath away from escaping, but this breath was tightly held by the white Tianyuan piece.

Jia Shixian stared at Tianyuan's white piece and said slowly, "Master Gu, the black dragon hasn't arrived yet, so you have to pull out this white piece."

"promise."

A man beside Jia Shixian lowered his hands in response and left the pavilion in a flash.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Ancient Gongfeng" has not returned yet, Jia Shixian holds a black piece, but there is no more material for a capture in the game.

The defeat is inevitable.

Jia Shixian laughed wildly, "Excellent chess! Excellent chess! Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs! Sages are unkind, treating the people as straw dogs! My friend, you use heaven and earth as the chessboard, and the three armies as chess pieces. What a good game you play!"

Then he stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I am grateful for your guidance!"

"Now that my friend is born, I, Jia, no longer need to endure and restrain myself. Let's play another game of chess someday!"

"Uh..." Qin Yuan had a blank expression on his face, as if he was in big trouble again.

"Master Jia, we are all officials appointed by the court, why do we have to do this?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to work together for the well-being of the 30 million people of the Great Zhou?"

Jia Shixian shook his head and said in a resounding voice, "People are born in adversity and die in comfort."

"It's so peaceful, it's really boring."

"Jia's only wish in this life is to stir up the world and play chess with the best talents in the world. How happy it would be!"

"Since Qin Xiaoyou has won the Tianyuan title and chosen the Emperor, then Jia will choose someone else. We will meet again in the future. I hope to have a fair fight with you!"

"I will resign from all my positions in the Great Zhou and hand over all authority in the Imperial City Bureau to you, young friend, in return for your teaching today!"

"Please come in, my friend!"

"In due time, I will play another game of chess with you, my friend!"

As Jia Shixian spoke, he waved his hand to send the guest away.

Qin Yuan also bowed and said, "Sir Jia, goodbye!"

I didn't expect that there are such interesting people in the world.

I don't know how he will fight me next time we meet.

The days ahead seem to be getting interesting.

…

Forty miles north of Jiangzhou City, there are beautiful rivers and streams.

The brutal battle is coming to an end.

The Shen Ce Army took less than half an hour to eliminate Li Shibin's 7,000 men.

By the time King Qin Yan Cetian led his army to arrive, it was too late and the war was over.

The battle of Haoshuichuan caused an uproar among the rebels led by the King of Qin.

In less than two hours, Haoshuichuan was a mess of blood and flesh, like hell on earth.

The results of this battle inventory shocked the entire rebel army, and all senior generals were killed tragically.

Li Shibin's troops, which were full of brave generals, were reduced to ashes in just half an hour.

What made the generals even more disheartened was that only more than 2,000 soldiers were actually killed in this battle. The remaining nearly 10,000 were either injured by the bandits or suffered fractures from being trampled on by each other during the rout, thus losing their combat effectiveness.

Especially the soldiers who were stabbed by the barbed wire, most of their wounds festered, and the rebels used up all the antidotes in the camp to save these people's lives.

The battle of Haoshuichuan cast a dark cloud over the hearts of countless people.

The morale of the army, which had been united and solidarous, was shaken.

The soldiers no longer had any hope of success, and having lost the hope of following the dragon, they attempted to retreat.

The Qin rebels, who had been so powerful before, were now like lambs to be slaughtered, like walking corpses waiting to die, and had completely lost their morale.
