Chapter 15 Analysis of Poker, Battle of Qujing

 Zhang Feng put away the playing cards and took another sip of Kuaijishan.

At this time, the wine consumed in the Ming Dynasty was mainly rice wine. The best wine must be the aged Kuiji Mountain. The inferior wine is also Guyuelong Mountain. Huadiao is relatively cheap. Ner Hong is basically only drunk for weddings, and the taste is also biased.

Sweet.

Kuaiji Mountain is famous for Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface". At this time, it was also famous in the early Ming Dynasty, and there were many literati who liked the calligraphy of the two kings.

This wine also relied on Wang Xizhi’s fame to spread throughout the country.

"Yellow wine is really good. It tastes much better than spirits. You won't get drunk when you drink it, but it just has a bit of a strong stamina."

Zhang Feng was well aware of the strong staying power of rice wine. When Zhu Ping brought him rice wine in the early Ming Dynasty, he thought the wine had a low alcohol content, so he drank more. Only later did he realize that the wine had a strong staying power.

Not bad at all.

"Master Zhang, what is this strong wine?"

Zhu Xi caught the key word. He had never heard of any wine called spirits.

Zhang Feng is a liberal arts student and does not know how to make wine. He drank spirits with his classmates in the dormitory during college.

"Oh, it's just some wine with a relatively high alcohol content. It's not a good wine. It's not as good as Kuaiji Mountain."

Zhang Feng hurriedly dealt with it. It was impossible to make wine, and it was impossible to make wine in this life.

Zhu Xi couldn't think of anything else in his head. Now he still has to complete the task assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Zhang Tianshi, can these playing cards calculate the outcome of the war?" Zhu Feng helped Zhang Feng shuffle the cards, put them in front of Zhang Feng, and continued to ask: "More than two months ago, Yingchuan Hou led troops to Yunnan.

, I am outside this time, listening to people discussing, and I am also very concerned. I wonder what the outcome of this battle will be?"

Naturally, Zhu Fang did not say that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to ask. Instead, he changed his approach and said that people outside were discussing the matter, so that he could ask the question naturally.

Zhang Feng silently counted the time in his mind, and it turned out that this was the battle to conquer Yunnan, which was famous. The Battle of Qujing also appeared in the college entrance examination questions.

Zhang Feng nodded confidently, lined up the playing cards, and said, "Your Highness, you can draw three chapters as you wish."

Zhu Xi took a deep breath and felt that the battle of Ming Dynasty seemed to be in his own hands. If he didn't do it well, the 300,000-strong army would be completely annihilated.

I can only hope for luck.

Three cards were drawn out. Zhu Ping didn't dare to look at them, so he just turned them over.

Ding of diamonds, three of spades, seven of hearts!

Zhu Xiang's face turned dark when he saw the first card turned over, which was the Ding Diamond.

"Zhang Tianshi, this square Ding, does it mean that there will be a disaster this winter, and that they will lose their lives in the battle in Yunnan this time?"

With Xu Hui's lesson learned, Zhu Ping started taking orders himself, especially when he saw that the first chapter he opened was actually a diamond.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang at the lower level was also listening to the conversation above.

Knowing that Zhang Feng asked Zhu Ping to turn over his cards and estimate how the war in Yunnan would go.

This time, Zhu Xi actually turned over another Ding of Diamonds. It was previously calculated that Xu Hui was this card, and Xu Hui was dismissed from his post and imprisoned. Now it is this card again. This is not a good card.

They incorporated Zhang Feng's playing cards into the ancient drawing of lots and interpreted them.

As everyone knows, these playing cards are just a way for Zhang Feng to deceive Zhu Xi.

"Damn Brother, your luck is so bad. If Mu Ying's side doesn't fight well this time, I must pull Brother out and give him a good beating."

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fist and smashed it on the table.

"Father, don't be angry yet. Taoist Zhang has not interpreted this card yet, and there are two other cards. Maybe Taoist Zhang needs to look at all three of them together."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di are responsible for copying here.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang losing his temper, Zhu Biao quickly comforted him.

Zhang Feng has not yet interpreted it, and the specific situation is still unknown.

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and listened carefully to Zhang Feng's words above.

……

Zhang Feng was almost amused by Zhu Xi's cleverness, but luckily he couldn't hold it back.

"No, Your Highness cannot interpret it this way. The situation of Cube Ding just now is combined with Xu Hui's situation. The battle situation of Cube Ding at this time is naturally different."

"The square D here means eleven, that is, on December 11, the army can break through Puding. Both Gelao and Miao Man will surrender on this day."

Zhang Feng is based on historical facts and is basically correct.

Zhu Fang was still suspicious and asked: "Zhang Tianshi, can this square ding determine that the army will break Puding on the 11th?"

"That's natural. Since I said it, the number of days will definitely not be any different. Otherwise, you can ask Wu Liang, I said he died on the 26th, is he still alive now?"

Zhang Feng is still very confident about this.

Zhu Fang was stunned and said: "The Heavenly Master is really a god. Wu Liang died on the 26th, not bad at all. It seems that Puding will be captured on the 11th."

"What about the three of spades?"

Hearing the good news, Zhu Xi also became happy, at least he was lucky.

Zhang Feng regretted it a little. He had pretended before, but now he is fine. It is not easy to explain these playing cards.

"Black, black versus white, by the way, this is not black, this is white, and three, like a river, this is the Baishi River!"

Zhang Feng’s laborious explanation will definitely be changed in another way next time. It’s better to just do the calculations on your own. Why bother interacting with Zhu Ping and rack your brains to match the numbers on the cards to historical facts?<

/p>

"Baishi River?" Zhu Xiang's geography is not good and he doesn't know where this river is.

Zhang Feng nodded and continued: "We defeated the enemy at Baishijiang. In this battle, we captured Qujing and also captured Dalima. It can basically be said that we laid the foundation for the recovery of the entire Yunnan."

Hearing this, Zhu Xi's eyes lit up and he touched the three of spades with his hand. He was so lucky.

Zhang Feng picked up the few Kuaijishan and drank it, and said slowly: "We owe this battle to Xiping Hou Muying. It was his idea that allowed us to successfully capture Qujing."

Speaking of Mu Ying, Zhang Feng was quite familiar with him. This was the later famous Prince Mu. When Lord Wei followed Mao Shiba to the capital when he was a child, he told Mao Shiba how Prince Mu defeated Northern Burma.

The elephant array over there.

Later, Duke Wei also married a descendant of Prince Mu as his concubine!

"Zhang Tianshi, can you tell who came up with the winning idea from these playing cards?"

Zhu Xi thought it was amazing.

As if Zhang Feng had witnessed it with his own eyes, he actually knew that it was Hou Xiping who came up with the idea, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Of course, when you look at the seven of hearts, it represents seven strokes. The surname of Xipinghou is Mu, and the 'Mu' happens to be the seventh stroke. This battle was naturally the idea of ​​Hou Xiping!"

Zhang Feng finally explained the three cards clearly and successfully deceived the people on the upper and lower floors.
Chapter completed!
