The sun and the moon shuttle, the stars shift, with the yellowing of the leaves, the time entered the late autumn season, most of the half a year has passed, there is no war, no disaster, the grain has also obtained a bumper harvest, the people are well fed, warmly dressed, and the face also shows a smile, as if it has returned to the peaceful and prosperous era!

The court is also safe and sound, and the little emperor is in deep trouble in the palace, so he can only sigh for a long time; Prime Minister Cao Cheng sits in the Prime Minister's Mansion and holds the power of the world; The civil and military officials enjoyed wealth and nobility, eating, drinking and merrymaking every day, and the political situation of the Han Dynasty was like the water of an April lake - exceptionally calm!

However, those who are interested understand that the lake is only calm on the surface, and the undercurrent is turbulent inside, the struggle between the monarch and the prime minister, the dispute between the central and local governments, and the dispute between the scholars and the poor family...... It has not stopped for a moment, and the longer the stability in front of you, the more violent the political storm will be!

For most of the year, Xiao Yi did not leave the school for a single step, but only accompanied his wife and children, taught his disciples, and often went to the maple forest, or taught various martial arts, or explained ancient and modern war examples, and left homework problems on the ground!

The beautiful boy also appears frequently, but he never meets Xiao Yi, but after everyone leaves, he goes to study the strategy explanation, and after he slowly grows bolder, he will leave questions on the ground, as well as some of his own opinions, and there is something to say!

For the beautiful boy's questions, Xiao Yi always patiently answered, clearly written on the ground, and the two communicated through text, figuring out each other's psychology, but they never met, as if they were playing a silent game!

This is a game between wise men, focusing on the invisible elephant and the loud voice...... Slowly influence the other person, and then control the mind!

Someone should not be forbidden to ask, the other party's name, origin, and appearance are not clear, Xiao Yi will teach the art of war, is he not afraid of raising tigers, after the other party learns the skills, what should I do if I am an enemy of the Xiao family?

The answer is that there is no need, war is a profound art, smart people do not have to teach, they can understand the mysteries, such as a generation of war god - Huo Quai, never read military books in his life, nor have he worshiped famous teachers, is to use soldiers boldly, adapt to changes, and beat the Huns to the ground!

And stupid people can't teach, even if they invite the world's first division, and then put "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", and "Wei Yi Bingfa" ...... All of them are reversed, and they are still a military idiot, such as Li Guangli, the general of the second division, don't you save and lose the battle for a lifetime?

Xiao Yi felt that the other party had a high level of understanding and was a malleable talent, so he taught some tactics in the art of war, the other party's background is not important, as long as it is a son of the Han family, anyway, inside and outside the Zhengming Academy, there will never be Hu people!

Then again, when the cat taught the tiger skills, he also left a trick of a hand on a tree, how could Xiao Yi teach him, not to mention that the other party learned his own strategy, just like walking along his own footprints, he would never be able to run to the front, but would be restricted everywhere!

Therefore, as long as he encounters a plastic talent, Xiao Yi is willing to teach, so as to form a good fate, the other party learns his own strategy, and he falls into the net, whether he is an enemy or a friend in the future, he will not be able to escape his control, how can the bait of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang be easy to swallow?

At the same time, after more than half a year of hard training, the students' polo skills can also gallop vertically and horizontally, change formations at will, and often compete with each other!

Seeing that the time is ripe, Xiao Yat officially announced that he is going to hold a 'polo tournament', and all students who compete for the academy and think that their skills are good can sign up to participate, and if they get a good ranking, there will be rich prizes!

The competition is conducted in team mode, ten students are a team, and a team leader is selected to compete against each other, the loser is eliminated, the winner is promoted, and finally the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up are selected, as for their prizes:

The Ji army was rewarded with two hundred taels of gold, and the team members each got a Hun horse, and the captain got a Wusun horse, and they could travel hundreds of miles a day!

The runner-up army was rewarded with 500 taels of gold, and the team members each got a horse from the Western Regions, and the captain got a horse with sweat and blood, 1,000 for a day and 800 for a night!

The champion team will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and the team members will get a horse from the Western Regions and a golden cane, and the captain will not have any material rewards, only a promise from the ghost-faced Xiao Lang!

Playing polo is like fighting a war, the team is like a soldier, and the captain is the commander, who needs to predict the enemy's situation, arrange tactics, and allocate manpower...... The task on your shoulders is the most important, so the rewards are the most generous!

…………………………………………………………

"The polo tournament is about to kick off, and we sincerely invite masters from all walks of life to create great results with me - urgently form a team!"

"The champion of this competition is none other than my soldiers, whether it is riding, batting, or strategy...... Those stupid guys who read books and play carpenters, how do they compare to us? ”

"The best bow for sale, this rod is beautifully made, the feel is excellent, and the Buddhist students are invited to open it, as long as it is held in your hands, it will surely achieve good results - as long as two taels of gold!"

………………………………

When the news of the tournament came out, the school suddenly boiled, and the students rushed to tell each other, ecstatic, and practiced polo skills for more than half a year, and finally had a place to help!

Then it's time to find teammates, choose mounts, buy bows, and match clothes...... Set up countless polo teams, constantly practice tactics and run-in skills, and strive to be a blockbuster in the competition!

There are also students with poor skills, knowing that they have no hope of winning the championship, they simply change careers and start a business, make well-made bows, set up style clothing, and then sell them at a good price, specifically, the children of the Mo family are responsible for the production, Buddhism, Taoism is specially opened, and the vertical and horizontal family is articulate, so they are naturally responsible for sales!

The other schools of thought were not idle, Confucianism was responsible for the hype, the Yin and Yang family chose the site for the competition, the peasant children leveled the land and did a good job of greening, and the children of the medical family were the kindest, sitting on the side with the medicine box on their backs, ready to treat the injured in the competition - everyone worked together to do a good job in this competition!

No wonder the students are full of motivation, who is not tempted by gold and BMW, especially in front of thousands of students, galloping and striving for the first, what kind of majesty should it be, the most important thing is that the champion captain, and can also get a promise from Da Sima!

Xiao Yat is a powerful and powerful man, he devised a military strategy that can overturn the city, destroy the clan, and directly enter the eighteenth layer of hell, and one of his solemn promises can also make people enjoy glory and wealth for a lifetime!

Many students are fantasizing about what benefits they will claim if they win the championship, gold, horses, armor, swords, officials, and beauties...... There are so many things you want, it's hard to choose!

The students discussed repeatedly, and finally reached an agreement, the best choice for this commitment is to worship under the Great Sima Sect and be his descendant disciple!

As long as you worship Da Sima as a teacher and learn the art of peace and stability, you will inevitably rise to prominence in the future, and you will enter the phase, what do you want for gold, silver, jewelry, and beauty?

In the following days, the students trained hard, bled and sweated, like little carps, puffing up all their strength, ready to jump the tall dragon gate!

"Sincerely, Colleagues in the Civil and Military Forces,

On the occasion of this crisp autumn, it is proved that the school holds a polo tournament, which is scheduled to start on the morning of September 18 in the seventh year of Jian'an, and the big Sima - Xiao Yi sincerely invites colleagues to come, and will do the friendship of the landlord. ”

…………………………

After everything was ready, Xiao Yi began to send out invitations, inviting Xuchang's civil and military officials and door lords to come and watch this polo competition, and the Prime Minister's Mansion also sent one, hoping that Prime Minister Cao Cheng would come!

It stands to reason that a general who has made too much merit and aroused the suspicion of his superiors should live in seclusion in the mountains, but he doesn't do anything when he asks about the affairs of the court, why did Xiao Yi go the opposite way and make such a big move?

To borrow the words of the ancients, answer: small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, big hidden in the court...... Is the real master of seclusion, not to eliminate people's sight, but to eliminate people's vigilance, so as to turn disasters into invisibility!

Xiao Yi's prestige is too great, Xiao Yin is not only useless, but will attract disaster, if he hides in the academy and does not make any moves, others should be suspicious, is he trying to do wrong, is he ready to rebel?

The traitor is a suspicious person, once he can't see through Xiao Yi's thoughts, his suspicion will be even more serious, and he will send more people to comprehensively monitor the Zhengming Academy, and at the worst, he will directly send troops to attack the Wuwu Hou Mansion!

Therefore, Xiao Yat not only couldn't be silent, but also made a big move, held a polo tournament, invited civil and military officials to come and watch, and made his life situation public, and the gossip naturally disappeared!

Cao Cao's suspicions will also be alleviated, thinking that Xiao Yi lives in seclusion in the academy, gets along with ignorant students every day, and slowly loses his ambitions, but likes to have fun at leisure!

In the last years of the Warring States Period, the veteran general Wang Jian commanded the army to attack Chu, and instead of planning strategies and encouraging the morale of the army, he kept writing letters back to the dynasty and asking for the mansion, gold and silver from the King of Qin-Yingzheng, to show that he had no ambitions and just wanted to be a rich man, thus eliminating the suspicion of the King of Qin...... What Xiao Yat is doing now is similar to the ancients!

I got my marriage certificate today...... Not a single dog anymore - haha!
