Chess
When the Tang Dynasty , there was a scholar named Cen in Runan . He was very literary when he was a child, and when he grew up, he studied the arrangement of troops. Unfortunately, no one appreciates it, and his family is poor and has no capital to gain, so he is depressed and unsuccessful. Later, he decided to go out for a trip, went to Shanzhou, and lived in a abandoned house in his relative's house. Someone told him that the house was haunted, and the scholar said, "Life and death are destined, I am not afraid!"
lived in it for more than a year and was safe. One night, he suddenly heard the sound of war drums and went out to search, but the sound disappeared. The scholar thought this was a sign of being a military general, and he was very happy and prayed, "If you really want to be rich, please tell me the date of development."
A few days later, a man in a armor came to invite him in a dream and said, "General Jinxiang asked me to signal to you, you have all the literary and military skills and great ambitions. Can you humiliate our small country? Now the enemy country is invading the border, and I am fortunate to invite you to watch the battle." The scholar agreed happily, and was about to ask General Jinxiang where he was, but suddenly woke up.
He sat on the bed, looking back at the scene in his dream, feeling confused. Suddenly, the golden drums sounded, and a gust of wind blew the curtains and a team of cavalry appeared in the corner of the wall, with bright armor and dazzling swords. The knights were all little people who were several inches tall. They set up their formations, scattered and gathered. The scholar was shocked and watched with his breath.
A moment later, a young man came to him, raised a letter, raised his head and said, "The general's letter!" The scholar possessed himself and took it. The words on it were very small and barely recognizable. The content was: "We are next to the fierce foreign tribe. This is a strong enemy set by God for us. You are a talented man in the world and dare not expect you to help in the battle. As long as you watch us kill the enemy and support it in your heart, you will be very grateful!" The scholar expressed his gratitude and watched it change.
The mouse hole under the walls on both sides of the east and west became a city gate, and soldiers walked out of the crowd and set up their formations. The flag to the east says the country of Heaven, and the country of Golden Elephant to the west.
The two armies began to fight. Tianna Kingdom was defeated and retreated to a stone mortar that was pounding medicine to defend the south. stone mortar mortar became a castle. When dawn was approaching, the two armies retreated back to the hole in the wall and everything returned to peace.
From then on, the two armies fought fiercely every night, winning and losing each other. General Jinxiang sent someone to send jewelry, and the king of Tianna Kingdom also sent people to greet him and sent gold and silver. The scholar was very happy and leaned over to watch every night, indulged in it, and cut off contact with the outside world.
More than a month passed, and he gradually became thinner and his face was dark. The relative was very worried and came to inquire about it, but the scholar did not say anything. The relatives got him drunk before revealing the truth. When he was using the toilet, his relatives separated him outside the door and dug in the room. I dug several feet and found an ancient tomb with many burial objects, including a pair of chess pieces, and the chess pieces were in a warlike state. The gold, silver and jewelry obtained by the scholar are all burial objects in the ancient tomb.
Relatives burned the chess, the Jinxiang Kingdom and Tianna Army no longer appeared, and the scholar recovered his vitality and became rich by getting the funeral objects. " Mysterious Record "
Ma Ju When he was in charge of Huainan, someone gave him a wooden chessboard with jewelry decorated around him. A few days later, the chessboard suddenly disappeared, and Ma Ju asked the servant to search for it, but it was not found. At this time, an old man came to visit, and most of his words were about military tactics. The old man said to Ma Ju, "The world is now in chaos and swords and weapons are everywhere. If you are in charge of the country and do not study military tactics, what should you use to resist the powerful thieves?" Ma Ju said, "I am currently committed to people's livelihood and have no time to participate in military tactics. Fortunately, the gentleman has arrived. Is there anything to teach me?"
The old man said, "As the leader of a country, military tactics cannot be abolished. If the army is not valued, chaos will arise, and the people's livelihood will not be taken into account. To manage the generals and schools, if the generals and schools are loyal and brave, and they are rushing forward with arrows, the young soldiers will naturally go through fire and water."
Ma Ju thought that his words made sense and asked what they should do as a marshal. The old man said: "As a marshal, the first thing he wants is to seize the enemy's city position. Every little man must consider the life and death of his life, but at some times, he must also have the courage to lose his car to protect the commander and give up his little one.When you are in danger, you must arrange doubtful soldiers to confuse the enemy, make decisive decisions, not be indecisive, but only look at the safety in front of you. "
Ma Ju was surprised and asked, "Who is sir?" Why do you understand these? "The old man said: "I was from Nanshan when I was a child. I experienced many wars when I was an adult, so I summarized the way to use military force. Nothing is eternal between heaven and earth. I take advantage of the remaining world to explain these principles, and I hope you can pay attention to it. "
The old man was about to leave after he said that, Ma Ju tried his best to keep him and arranged a separate room for him. At night, Ma Ju wanted to ask the old man for advice and sent someone to invite him. However, the old man disappeared, and the disappeared chessboard appeared in the room. Ma Ju knew that this was the chessboard, so he took an ancient mirror to look at it. The chessboard suddenly jumped up and landed on the ground and broke. Ma Ju ordered people to burn the broken chessboard, and the old man never appeared again. (From "Xiaoxiang Lu")
Wang Da
Tang Dynasty During the Tianbao period, a scholar named Cai Si lived in Chenliu . One day, when he was reciting poetry, a ghost came, with an ordinary appearance, no different from ordinary people. Cai Si is an open-minded person, not afraid, and started chatting with ghosts. He was very speculative about poetry and songs. The ghost called himself Wang Da, saying that he admired Cai Si's literary talent, and often came at night.
Once, the little boy came to deliver tea, and when he saw Wang Da, he couldn't help but feel scared. Cai Si asked the little boy what he saw, and the little boy said, "A big ghost is more than a meter tall, and there are a few little ghosts behind him." "
So, Cai Si built a small wooden house next to the house. When the ghost came again, he said, "Humans and ghosts have different paths, and are afraid of disturbing others. So he built a small house for you, and you can live in it in the future! "The ghost was very happy and expressed his gratitude to Cai Si. After that, one person and one ghost talked in the hut.
One day, the ghost said to Cai Si: "I want to marry my daughter and want to lend your house to entertain guests. "Cai Si disagreed and said, "My mother is in the hall. If she is infected with ghost energy, it may be harmful to her body. "The ghost said, "It's okay, you ask the old lady to close the door of the room and only borrow it for one day. "So, Cai Si lent him the house.
Over time, the people of the Cai family were very annoyed with ghosts. Everyone read the Guanyin mantra. The ghost hid their traces, and only appeared when Cai family was eating meat. Later, the ghost told Cai Si that he was going to hold a vegetarian party. When asked where he was held, he said it was in Fantai.
Fantai was not far away, and the Cai family wanted to track the ghost's nest, so they went to see it quietly. Sure enough, that night Many people appeared in Fantai, most of them were monks. The Cai family was approaching with Guanyin mantra, and the ghosts were panicked and scattered. Wang Da led more than a dozen people to the woods. The next day, the Cai family went to the woods to explore and saw an abandoned grave with dozens of paper people buried with the largest one with the word "Wang" written on the forehead. After burning these paper people, Wang Da no longer appeared. (From " Guangyi Ji ")
