Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

When Ye Haoran opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by dense bamboo forest!

There is a stone table and two stone pillars beside it!

The old man sat on the stone pier with a calm expression!

"Haoran! You're awake!"

"This is where?"

“This is the back mountain!”

Ye Haoran immediately sat up: "Old man, I have carefully observed each stone step according to your request! Is there any reward for successfully completing the task?"

"Haha, it's beyond my expectation! I hope you can continue to create miracles!"

As he said this, he took out a yellowed ancient book from his sleeve and handed it over!

God, you finally opened your eyes! I am also a person with skills!

Ye Haoran stood up hurriedly and took the ancient book with both hands!

"Essential Techniques for Elevating the People"

How come this is a little different from the name of the peerless technique? Ye Haoran looked puzzled and quickly opened it!

His face turned dark instantly!

"Old man! Do you want me to go home and farm?"

"Haoran! This book is not just about farming, it records everything related to livelihood. It is an eternal and rare book. It's a bargain for you!"

"But what I want is the martial arts!" Ye Haoran wanted to cry but had no tears!

"Hey! This immortal master is just soft-hearted. How about this, from now on you come to the back mountain every day to play a game of chess with me. If you win a game, I will agree to one of your conditions!"

Chess?

Old man, you have walked into trouble. In another world, I am the one who plays against the master computer!

However, Ye Haoran still had some concerns and asked cautiously: "What if I lose?"

The old man smiled and said, "Just let me herd the sheep for a day! But make sure the sheep are well fed!"

"Don't regret it, old man!"

"A gentleman's word is his bond!" He waved his hand and a black and white chess set appeared on the stone table! It was impossible to tell what it was made of!

Ye Haoran stood up and sat down on the stone pier with his arms and legs spread out. "Old man, let me go first!"

The old man smiled and took off his straw hat, "Let's get started!"

Four large tumors appeared on the old man’s head, which felt weird!

The moment Ye Haoran picked up the chess piece, a strong wind suddenly blew in the bamboo forest, and the surrounding scenery instantly turned into a desolate battlefield, with the black and white armies confronting each other!

The yellow sand covered the sky, and the gloomy tone was filled with solemnity!

The soldiers on both sides are aggressive!

"They are all illusions, you don't need to pay attention to them!" The old man spoke when he saw Ye Haoran was unable to make a move!

Ye Haoran no longer hesitated:

Pull up my Italian cannon!

With the end of the fighting on the battlefield!

The only white chess piece left of Ye Haoran is the lonely old general!

What’s infuriating is that he didn’t even eat up one of the old man’s pawns!

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have fallen into the old man's trap again!

"This chess game was originally evolved from the battlefield, and the battlefield is unstoppable, the attack is decisive, the fight is life and death, and the defense is like a rock! You are good at using the geographical situation and even the people's hearts! You still need to work harder!"

Ye Haoran was speechless. He had never thought about these things when playing chess before! He just wanted to capture as many of the opponent's pieces as possible and find an opportunity to kill the opponent! This was how to play chess!

Hey! If you lose, you lose! Just go and herd the sheep!

The temptation given by the old man is too great, to win a round, he just needs to win a round! Just like a fish that knows it is bait but can't help chasing it and taking a bite!

The confrontation between the two armies in the illusion began again! Ye Haoran couldn't remember how many times he had played chess with the old man!

Every day as soon as I open my eyes I sprint a hundred meters to the top of the mountain and dive into the bamboo forest, full of hope that I can win a game. The sad thing is that to this day: my winning rate is zero!

As expected, he was brutally beaten by the old man again, his entire army was wiped out, while the other side was unharmed!

It's not that he can't capture the old man's chess piece, but there's no point in capturing one! The overall situation will be more passive and the loss will be greater! So he retreated!

Ye Haoran always felt that he had killed his poor soldiers again. An incompetent general exhausted the entire army!
