Thousand-year Killing Game on the Chessboard
About This Novel
In 203 BC, on the shore of Chaosou, Xiang Yu almost killed Liu Bang with a cold arrow. This arrow not only tore up the Chu-Han peace treaty, but also planted eternal suspicion in Liu Bang's heart. After proclaiming himself emperor, he turned fear into power, filled the palace with bronze mirrors, and imprisoned heroes on charges of treason. The soldier Han Xin created a chess set out of charcoal and scrap wood in the darkness of Tianlao. The thirty-two chess pieces are a metaphor for the bloody history of Chu and Han: the generals never meet each other, due to hidden arrows in the chasm; the generals cannot cross the river, alluding to the emperor's check and balance; the soldiers can only advance but not retreat, and their fate is fulfilled. The chess was completed, Han Xin died, but the chess game spread among the people. From the entrance of Weinan Village to the marketplace of Chang'an, from the frontier fortress military camp to the elegant rooms of the court, the square-inch chessboard has gradually become an invisible annals of history. Every chess move is soaked in blood, and every boundary is engraved with intrigue. In his later years, Liu Bang wiped out a chess game full of pieces, but he knew that this game would always be etched in people's hearts - that cold arrow that crossed the chasm eventually turned into a thousand-year-old killing game, repeated in every game.
