Thunderclouds rolled in the sky.
Over Yangcheng, a huge sea of angry thunder clouds enveloped the entire city.
Di Zhudan said in horror: "Di Yu, you are crazy! You are crazy! As an emperor, how can you die easily, how can you cut off the destiny of a country? What kind of emperor are you? You are not worthy!"
However, Di Yu, who was on the other side of the chessboard, could no longer hear Emperor Zhudan's roar.
After thirty years of playing chess, Emperor Yu, who had his luck and longevity stolen from him on the "Shangjun Chessboard", finally died completely at this moment.
Although he died, he showed a happy smile before he died.
It's like a person who made a mistake made up for his mistakes before dying, and he finally died with his eyes in peace.
"Missing Sanzhou?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"There are still six states left in the world, and I want to steal them all!"
Emperor Zhudan gritted his teeth and was very angry because of Emperor Yu's death struggle.
This game of chess should have ended here.
Emperor Yu stood still and died. A gust of wind blew by, and his body turned into fine sand and disappeared.
However, a sudden change occurred!
The next moment, a young man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe jumped into the chess game!
"You...who are you!?" Di Zhudan said angrily.
Because of the sudden entry of the young man, he successfully took over Di Yu's place, allowing the chess game to continue.
"I am the son of Great Xia, Si Qi!"
Di Zhudan was shocked: "Are you Di Yu's son?"
"Exactly!"
Di Zhudan gritted his teeth!
He suddenly discovered that the Great Xia Dynasty did not disappear because of Emperor Yu's death.
Di Yu's son can still inherit the throne of Daxia.
"Boy!"
"How many years did your father study chess? He barely managed to draw with me before he died!"
"Do you think you are qualified to be my opponent?"
Emperor Zhudan made no secret of his contempt for Si Qi.
Although Si Qi looks young, he is graceful and graceful, and has the appearance of a born king.
He said calmly: "I have learned chess from my father since I was a child. In the past thirty years, I have been watching you play chess with your father."
Di Zhudan's expression changed!
Watching chess for thirty years?
If this is true, Si Qi's chess ability may even be higher than that of Emperor Yu before he entered the game!
He finally realized that he should not underestimate this opponent.
Playing chess, time flies.
Even Fan Li couldn't help but marvel at Si Qi's chess talent.
A born king with extraordinary qualifications!
At the end of the first ten years, Si Qi only lost one state.
Qingzhou.
Although he also lost, his start was much better than that of his father Di Yu!
In the second decade, Si Qi and Emperor Zhudan were drawn to a draw.
"good!"
Fan Li praised Si Qi and made no secret of his admiration for Si Qi.
"Bad boy!!!"
Although he clearly won a state, Di Zhudan was not happy at all.
He already had a premonition that his chess skills were gradually failing and he was almost going to lose!
Emperor Zhudan always had a high self-esteem, and even Emperor Yu didn't look down on him.
The successful layout to deceive Di Yu made Di Zhudan's self-confidence expand to an unprecedented level!
However, he actually wanted to lose to his son?
"Cough cough cough..."
Something unexpected happened.
Si Qi coughed up blood frequently, and now he no longer looked like a young man.
As his appearance becomes middle-aged, Si Qi should have looked more mature and steady.
However, all he had left was a sick look.
"ha?"
"Hahaha!!!"
Di Zhudan seemed to understand something and laughed crazily.
"Cultivation!"
"Your cultivation level is much worse than that of Di Yu, and you are not qualified to enter this game at all."
"With Di Yu's astonishing cultivation, he has almost reached his limit after holding on to [Shangjun Chessboard] for thirty years."
"Boy, twenty years is your limit, you are going to die!"
Facing the ridicule, Si Qi did not refute.
He was calm and calm, and simply said: "Go on, I can still persist for two or three years."
"you wanna die!"
Emperor Zhudan cursed, but he was actually secretly happy.
Si Qi did not follow Emperor Yu's example of sacrificing himself to heaven to cut off the fate connection between Qingzhou and Daxia.
It seems that this boy is not as decisive as his father?
Fan Li also fell into deep thought.
Why didn't Si Qi follow the example of Emperor Yu? Was it because he was afraid of death?
No.
If Si Qi was afraid of death, he wouldn't dare to risk his life to get involved.
Si Qi has been watching chess for thirty years, how could he not know that once he enters the game, he will almost die?
"Understood!"
Fan Li's eyes lit up.
He looked at Si Qi in amazement, and a sentence came to his mind: The youth is better than the youth!
At this moment, Si Qi may not only surpass Emperor Yu in chess skills, but also surpass Emperor Zhu Dan.
Si Qi must be confident that he can defeat his opponent in chess within three years!
How amazing is this?
Sure enough, talented people emerge from generation to generation.
The screen jumps and three years pass by in a flash.
"impossible!"
"How can this be!"
Emperor Zhudan saw that Qingzhou, which he had only acquired for thirteen years, returned to Si Qi's hands.
Three years!
In a small area in the corner of [Shangjun Chessboard], Si Qi actually defeated Emperor Zhudan and regained Qingzhou for Daxia!
"Father, I did it..."
At this time, Si Qi has reached the end of his life.
His appearance was still majestic and handsome, but there was a faint air of death.
Fan Li watched Qing Qing and couldn't help but sigh.
Si Qi's life was finally exhausted.
The cold wind blew by, and Si Qi's figure was crumbling, showing the scene of his dying years.
"Die!"
"Die quickly!"
"I don't believe it. Daxia can still have a successor?"
Emperor Zhudan's roaring sarcasm made Si Qi's mouth curl up.
What is he laughing at?
Fan Li and Di Zhudan had this question in their minds at the same time.
Whoosh!
A vigorous figure jumped into the situation and immediately supported Si Qi who was about to fall.
Si Qi's smile became even brighter when he saw who was coming.
"The next step is up to you."
"yes!"
The brief conversation seemed to convey everything.
Si Qi passed away with a smile on her face.
Di Zhudan had a gloomy face and stared at the muscular young man on the other side of the chessboard.
"and who are you?"
"I am the son of Daxia, Taikang."
When he heard the words 'Great Summer Son', Emperor Zhudan was furious!
"OK!"
"come!"
"I want to see how many more descendants the Daxia Dynasty can have?"
Taikang laughed.
"I won't disappoint you!"
His character is free and bold, which is completely different from the elegant and handsome Si Qi's style.
Taikang's chess style is also similar to his personality.
Open and close like a warrior on the battlefield.
From the moment the first cloud dropped, the smell of gunpowder on the chessboard was extremely strong!
It turned out that Emperor Zhu Dan had profound chess skills and was a chess master respected by the world.
But facing Taikang, who was so brave, he fell into a defensive position for a moment.
Could it be that Taikang is better than Si Qi and can stabilize Emperor Zhudan at the beginning?
Fan Li had been watching chess for five years and finally shook his head and rejected the idea.
"It won't last long."
As Fan Li expected, in the sixth year of the game between the two sides, Taikang lacked stamina and was counterattacked by Emperor Zhudan.
Daxia thus lost its fourth state, Yanzhou.
"well!"
"What a pity."
Taikang shook his head regretfully.
At this time, he no longer looked strong and cheerful, and was aging faster than Si Qi.
Both Fan Li and Emperor Zhu Dan could see that Taikang was about to die.
"You deserve to die." Di Zhudan said coldly.
"Ha...cough cough cough!"
Taikang wanted to laugh, but he kept coughing up blood.
"I will pass on the throne to Zhongkang."
"The way of heaven is supreme. I am willing to sacrifice my life to worship heaven and cut off the connection between Yanzhou and Daxia."
After Taikang finished speaking, he closed his eyes with a smile, looked up and died.
Emperor Zhudan was furious!
He didn't expect that even Si Qi had not done the act of sacrificing his life to worship heaven, but Taikang actually did it? !
Daxia lost the four states of Yong, Liang, Yu, and Yan.
Of the nine states in the world, only Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou are left.
However, Di Zhudan still found nothing.
At this time, a man whose appearance was somewhat similar to Taikang's, but who had a reserved and calm personality, slowly entered the room.
"I am Zhongkang, the son of Great Xia, and I am going to fight against you."
Zhong Kang's chess strategy is similar to his first impression.
Calm, solid, step by step, cautious.
Fifteen years later, Zhongkang died.
The chess game is even, Daxia still holds the five states.
The new son of Daxia was named Si Xiang.
Si Xiang's chess skills were not as good as those of the previous emperors. He played chess for ten years and lost to Xuzhou.
Si Xiang sacrificed his life to worship heaven, thus severing the destiny connection between Daxia and Xuzhou.
"snort!"
"Even if all of Emperor Yu's descendants offer sacrifices to heaven, I can still wait for the chess game to end and fight again."
"One generation is worse than the next. How many years can Daxia last?"
Di Zhudan said with a gloomy face as if talking to himself.
He waited for the new Da Xiazi to arrive, saw his appearance clearly, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Di Yu?"
"How is that possible! You have obviously already sacrificed to heaven!"
The other party shook his head: "I am Shaokang, the current emperor of Daxia."
"Hmph! Shaokang?"
Di Zhudan glared at the other party fiercely.
It turns out that he just looks similar to Di Yu, and he is another short-lived ghost for ten years.
He thought this, but was immediately slapped in the face by reality.
Chess game.
The first decade was a draw.
The second decade was still a draw.
"how did you do it?!"
Emperor Zhudan was furious.
"I played chess with the five emperors of Great Xia, and my chess skills have improved greatly, far beyond the period of Emperor Yu!"
"How could you, a young emperor, be able to fight at peace with me for twenty years?"
Shaokang ignored Emperor Zhu Dan.
He only murmured softly: "Our limit... is a draw? Or, have we and Emperor Zhudan reached the top of the chess path?"
The screen jumps.
Fan Li finally saw the scene in Yangcheng outside the Daxia Palace.
People migrate.
Merchants were lost.
There was deathly silence in the city, and the fields outside the city were deserted.
The capital of Daxia was abandoned at some point and became an empty and dead city?
No.
Fan Li soon discovered that there was still a small group of people living in a corner of Yang City far away from the palace.
These people are unkempt and look like beggars.
They lived frugally, studied hard day and night, and were actually studying the art of chess.
"They are all my descendants."
Di Yu's voice sounded in Fan Li's ears.
"After I was lured into the situation, my son Qi began to plan countermeasures."
"After countless calculations and exercises, my descendants discovered that Emperor Zhudan's layout was so successful that it was almost invulnerable."
"Especially when he emerges from the chess game as a winner, he will be invincible in the world."
"The Great Xia will be destroyed by then, and all my descendants will be killed by Emperor Zhu Dan!"
"Fortunately, with the collective wisdom of everyone, we have made some progress in breaking the situation."
Fan Li couldn't help but blurted out: "What can I do?"
"Tie."
Di Yu only said two words.
"Di Zhu Dan occupies the right time, place, and people on the [Shangjun chessboard]."
"If my descendants want to defeat him, it will only become more difficult with each generation, regardless of the occasional genius."
"So, instead of seeking to defeat Emperor Zhudan, it is better to seek a draw."
Fan Li understood.
The Xia Dynasty's method was to use a draw to permanently trap Emperor Zhudan in the chess game he had set up?
This may not be a good way to delay time.
but……
Fan Li looked at the descendant of Emperor Yu who looked like a beggar in the corner of the city wall.
The Xia Dynasty was obviously in serious decline.
If all the energy and wisdom of the majestic royal family is used to fight against Emperor Zhu Dan, how can the national destiny last long?
Outside Yangcheng, the capital, Daxia was in chaos.
Soon, Shaokang died.
He never lost his land until his death, and his luck among the five nine states in the world still belonged to Daxia.
After Shaokang, Si Zhu succeeded to the throne.
After Sishu comes Sihuai, then Simang, Sixie, Sibujiang, Sishu, Sisi, Sikonjia, Sigao and Sifa.
The Xia emperors of all dynasties did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives.
They burned their longevity and drew with Emperor Zhudan on the [Shangjun Chessboard]!
Not all of the dozen or so later emperors of Great Xia were extremely talented.
But with the concerted efforts of the descendants of Emperor Yu, they have already reached the true pinnacle of chess.
The path of chess is, after all, a side path, not the main path.
Although there are miraculous tricks and skills, they can confuse people's hearts for a while, but they cannot be used for a long time.
"The sixteenth generation of Emperor Xia, all his life was consumed by Emperor Zhu Dan."
"This is not a solution after all."
Fan Li looked on coldly, thinking rather regretfully.
The one who had the same idea as him was the Seventeenth Emperor of Great Xia, Si Jie.
The screen jumps.
Si Jie, who was confirmed to be the crown prince of Great Xia, made a shocking statement after the sixteenth Emperor of Xia was proposed to enter the game.
"My father and Emperor Zhu Dan are playing chess, and I want to raise an army."
"First retrieve the lost four states of Yong, Liang, Yu, and Yan."
"With the unification of the nine states, Great Xia's luck will skyrocket. After Gu succeeds to the throne, he may be able to win in a battle with Emperor Zhu Dan!"
Si Jie is very smart.
The method he came up with convinced the Daxia royal family at that time.
After all, the Sixteenth Emperor Xia was unable to defeat Emperor Zhu Dan, and everyone in the royal family understood that continuing the stalemate was not an option.
If you are soft, you cannot keep it. If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.
Si Jie went on an expedition, but the result was not ideal.
During the years of confrontation between Emperor Xia and Emperor Zhu Dan, the four states of Yong, Liang, Yu, and Yan gradually had new masters.
Business people.
The patriarch of the Shang clan in this generation is named Chengtang.
Si Jie raised troops to regain the four states, which was equivalent to declaring war on Chengtang.
As a result, the Daxia army and the Shang army fought in Mingtiao.
Si Jie was defeated.
As the winner, Cheng Tang did not kill Si Jie.
After all, Emperor Xia of the 16th generation entered the situation to confront Emperor Zhu Dan, preventing him from being born.
This act of self-sacrifice is also beneficial to the Shang clan.
"The fate of Daxia is trapped in a chess game and is hopeless."
"Prince, please think again."
Chengtang had a deep conversation with Si Jie, but no one knew the specific content.
But in the next few years, Si Jie stayed in business.
One day, news came from Yangcheng that Emperor Xia Sixteenth was about to end his life and Si Jie had to take part in the situation.
So Si Jie set out to return to Yangcheng.
But at the same time, something big happened in the world!
There are nine states in the world.
Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong all belong to Shang!
At this point, Chengtang founded the Great Shang Dynasty and unified the world.
The Xia Dynasty is still there.
The people of the Xia Dynasty who were unwilling to enter business migrated to the south together with the prince Si Jie, and finally arrived at a place called Nanchao.
The south nest is shaped like a nest and a prison.
"Cheng Tang and Si Jie searched hard for several years and finally found Nanchao."
"Nanchao is Daxia's last kingdom."
"The South Nest is also the eternal prison left by Si Jie to Emperor Zhu Dan."
Let's write a paper, let's call it "How to write about the Seventeen Emperors of the Xia Dynasty in one manuscript and still be able to read it with little talent and learning."
