He glanced at Loho and didn't say anything.

"A loss is a loss.”

Li Shi Min sighed in his heart.

"Little friend, your chess skills are extraordinary."

"He really is an extraordinary person…"

Li Shi Min praised sincerely.

Hearing this, Luo Hou smiled. He then looked at the sky and said inexplicably.

"An extraordinary person will have their own concerns in their hearts.”

"Eh? What did you say?"

Li Shi Min was stunned and asked.

"Nothing much."

Luo Hou shook his head and refused to answer this question.

"Why is Tianyuan so powerful?”

Seeing this, Li Shi Min didn't say anything more.

He carefully chose his words and asked the question in his heart.

The entire backyard quieted down. Everyone's gaze turned in the direction of Luo Hou.

Li Shimin was not the only one who was curious about this question. Li Jing and his daughter were equally curious.

Looking at the three curious babies, Luo Hou didn't intend to keep them in suspense.

His words were clear and he began to analyze the chess game.

"Winning in chess is like two armies facing each other.”

"The first to strike is the strongest. Since I have the first move, I will naturally place my piece in Tianyuan and dominate the eight wastelands and six directions.”

"I occupy the center of the Heaven's Origin Sector. Although I'm a high target that can be surrounded and blocked by others, it's also a great power.”

"Although I need to avoid your attacks in the early stages, I still have a lot of time left.”

"This is just as the art of war says.”

"However, blindly defending won't do. So, when you stopped attacking, I began to set up a plan from the side to divert your attention and form a siege.”

"In the art of war, this is called disturbing the enemy.”

At this point, Roho paused.

After saying so much in one breath, his throat was a little dry. He took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued.

"Of course, the best defense is to attack. When your mind is shaken and exhausted, I will turn defense into offense and launch a fierce attack.

"Isn't a counterattack at this time more comprehensive than putting everything on the line?”

"This is called 'when the enemy is tired, I fight.'"

"Faced with my fierce attacks, when you can't withstand them, you take a step back, and I'll press on step by step.”

"This is why it is better to chase after the enemy with your remaining courage than to learn from the overlord. I call the enemy retreat while I advance."

Luo Hou, who was emitting a faint and refined aura, uttered the 16-word guerrilla warfare saying under the dumbfounded gazes of Li Shi Min and the other two.

At this point, Loho stood up and looked into the distance: "The conclusion of this victory is nothing more than sixteen words.”

At this point, Luo Hou shook his head.

Without waiting for Li Shi Min and the others to ask questions, Luo Hou started to summarize the strategy.

"When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stops, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue.”

"Starting from the basic characteristics of the enemy being strong and us being weak, we should take advantage of favorable conditions such as favorable weather, favorable terrain, and favorable people to develop ourselves, eliminate the enemy, and gradually change the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves to win the war.”

Luo Hou's words overturned Li Shimin and the other two's views on Go.

The three of them were stunned for a moment. They pondered for a moment, then shook their heads and smiled.

Before this, they had always thought that playing chess was just for entertainment and was the study of a gentleman...

However, Luo Hou's words had opened the door to a new world for them.

They were stunned, and their eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

It turned out that playing chess was not only for entertainment, but also to deduce profound military theories.

Just by relying on this 'when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is stationed, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue.”The sixteen word battle strategy, Luo Hou's name was enough to be written in the military book.

In history, Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms period had relied on this to start his career. He had been displaced all his life before he finally won his final glory.

"Still coming?"

Loho said casually as he took back the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Li Shi Min was stunned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Li Shi Min pondered for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

He knew that his chess skills were far from Luo Hou's, so he didn't look for trouble.

He met his match and met a good man.

It was a blessing to be evenly matched. They could climb to the peak together.

However, the difference was too great. It was better to stop there and save some face for himself.

Li Shi Min remained silent for a long time, looking at Luo Hou with a conflicted expression.

Seeing his confidence and confidence, Li Shimin extinguished the thought of looking for trouble.

The two of them faced each other, and Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes.

He first sized up Luo Hou and then asked.

"You've studied the art of war?"

"Just now, I heard that young friend used chess to discuss military tactics. The short sixteen words have been carefully tasted, and it hit the nail on the head.”

"All kinds of theories, every word is full of gems, I am deeply impressed.”

Li Shi Min's expression was very serious, his voice was steady and full of vigor, and his entire body emitted the aura of a superior.

Feeling the pressure from this aura, Li Jing and his daughter naturally understood the meaning behind his words. It was obvious that he wanted to test Luo Hou.

The two of them were naturally happy for Raho. If Raho's answers were outstanding and he handed in a full score, then he would truly be in the emperor's heart.

Seeing Li Shi Min change the topic, Luo Hou smiled.

Luo Hou sat upright, but after a moment of doubt, he still chose to speak.

He pondered over his humble words and slowly replied.

"You flatter me."

"I'm not proficient in the art of war and only know a thing or two.”

"If you are interested in the art of war, you can look for my father-in-law. After all, he is the master of this art.”

Luo Hou's tone was modest, his entire body exuding a scholarly aura.
