As he said that, before Zhang Ran could refuse, Huo Qubing ordered the servant to bring out the chessboards and chess pieces needed for Liuboxiu, and then he excitedly pulled Zhang Ran to sit in front of the table table together, preparing to start playing Liuboxiu.

After the two of them sat down separately, Huo Qubing pointed to something on the table and explained to Zhang Ran: "There are twelve sons in these six plays, six white and six black, each holding six sons. Among the six sons, the largest one represents "Xiao", and the other five are called "San", with "Xiao" as the big one.

When using the game, use six "chop"s, first throw and pick, then play chess. The number of moves depends on the number of "chop"s thrown. The larger the number, the more moves you will take...

When playing chess in Liubo, both sides must force each other, and the "Xiao" can eat the other party's "San" with the cooperation of "San" on their own, the "Xiao" dispatches troops and generals to get the opportunity to kill the other party's "San".

If the owl dies, the winner will be divided into the winner... The winner will take all, and the loser will accept the punishment!"

After hearing Huo Qubing's explanation, Zhang Ran roughly understood the rules of the game of Liubo Opera, and felt that this Liubo Opera was a bit like a combination of flying chess and chess. When playing, you not only have to rely on luck, but also have certain strategies. It is very interesting. No wonder it has been popular since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it has been popular until today... This game with both luck and strategy has its own excitement.

After explaining the rules of the game to Zhang Ran, Huo Qubing smiled at him: "In Chang'an, the Liubo Opera mostly uses coins, gold and silver as the lottery, so many gamblers (gamblers) who make a living by the Liubo Opera... Today we focus on fun, so we don't bet on gold and silver, but only use fine wine as the lottery?"

Hearing Huo Qubing's words, Zhang Ran thought: "Gambling was also called gambling in later generations. The word "Bo" was probably taken from Liubo Opera, and the word "Cai" was also taken from Liubo Opera... In this way, these Liubo Opera are the earliest gambling games! No wonder Huo Qubing said that Liubo Opera is particularly popular in the market..."

Although Zhang Ran was very interested in ancient gambling games like Liubo Opera after listening to Huo Qubing's explanation, Zhang Ran felt a headache when he thought of having to drink if he lost.

But Huo Qubing invited him with great affection, and Zhang Ran had rejected him twice just now. If he didn't respond, he would really not give it to the other party.

So, Zhang Ran hesitated for a long time before he hesitating to Huo Qubing: "Brother Huo, why do you have to punish alcohol? Is it not okay to just have fun and not drink alcohol? What's more, I just knew a little about these six plays. I'm afraid I'll lose more and win less when I play, just like throwing a pot... So, I think it's better not to drink this wine!"

"How can that work?" Huo Qubing glared at his eyes and looked at Zhang Ran with great dissatisfaction: "If these six dramas are without a colorful head, what fun can there be? No, no!"

After a pause, looking at Zhang Ran's unwilling expression, Huo Qubing hesitated for a moment, and compromised slightly, "At most, let's set a little less lottery. How about the loser's penalty for one drink per game?"

"A drink is fine for each round?"

After hearing Huo Qubing's proposal, Zhang Ran thought about it carefully and felt that this condition seemed acceptable. After all, compared to the Pot-shot game, the time required for each game of these six games is still very long... Therefore, even if you lose, it will not have much impact.

Huo Qubing, who was opposite, saw Zhang Ran hesitating for a long time and not responding, suddenly became anxious. He kicked his eyes and stared at Zhang Ran with a burning look: "Brother Zhang, there are only you and me in this banquet. If you don't want to play with me, then we can only sit down and wait until the banquet is over..."

"Uh" After Huo Qubing reminded him, Zhang Ran suddenly realized that the only guests of the banquet were Wei Qing, Master Yan, Huo Qubing, and Zhang Ran.

Now Wei Qing has played chess with his father Yan, and one of them is Huo Qubing's uncle, and the other is over fifty years old. Obviously, it is not suitable to play and have fun with Huo Qubing.

Of course, in addition to Zhang Ran and four others, there were many servants in the house, but as half of the master, Huo Qubing obviously could not leave Zhang Ran, the guest, and go to have fun with the servants.

After thinking about it carefully, Huo Qubing wanted to play games, but Zhang Ran was the only choice on the scene.

So, unless Zhang Ran left the seat halfway, he would have to play with Huo Qubing... Thinking of this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that he really wants to hide this time, but he can't hide!"

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ran had nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, since Brother Huo has such a good mood, Zhang Ran had to sacrifice his life to accompany him!"

"Haha...this is right!" Huo Qubing suddenly smiled when he heard this, and urged Zhang Ran repeatedly: "Hurry up, let's play the previous game first!"

......

The rules of the Six-Based Play are not difficult to understand. After Zhang Ran and Huo Qubing competed in two games, they were basically familiar with their gameplay. However, because it involved a lot of strategic matters, it was not easy to master them.

Moreover, what made Zhang Ran even more sad was that his luck seemed to be inferior to Huo Qubing on the opposite side. Every time he rolled (dice), Huo Qubing would get big points... So, after a few games, although Zhang Ran had worked very hard, he still lost more than he won.

Zhang Ran was very helpless and thought to himself: "It seems that if you have time in the future, you must practice the skills of throwing pots, playing games, and Liubo, otherwise it will be very troublesome to attend a banquet, let alone make friends at the banquet."

Pot throwing, playing games, and six games are the most popular games among scholars and officials and powerful people today when they are feasted. Even the emperor loves them very much. Even if Zhang Ran makes some interesting "new games" in a short period of time, it is probably difficult to replace the status of these feast games.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Ran is still an official, he will still be exposed to these games frequently during the banquet. If he avoids it every time as he is now, then normal social interaction may become a problem in the future!

Therefore, even if Zhang Ran cannot master these games, he must be familiar with them! Because this is one of the essential skills for social interaction among scholars and officials today.

......

Although the game took a long time during the Six-Ball Games, and because of the previous statement, there were not too many fines for wine, Zhang Ran still inevitably drank a lot of wine after losing more than ten games in a row. This made Zhang Ran, who was already a little drunk, even more drunk and almost unable to control himself... Before the banquet was over, Zhang Ran was completely drunk!
