Chapter 140: Zhiyao's Scheme

Thank you for the book friend Spring and Autumn Book, Xiao Y Jun's reward!

……

At this time, in the Pangong shooting range, the large shooter was also nearing the end.

After the monarch's test firing was completed, it was the turn of the eight princes.

The salute is divided into "three shots", the first is practice shooting, regardless of whether the shot is hit or not, it is not counted as a result.

The eight shooters of the four couples respectively went to the hall to shoot, and according to the requirements of the division of the shooting, they stood at the shooting position, stared at the bull's eye, and waited for the order of the division.

Si Jie ordered in the hall: "No shooting, no hunting!" ”

Meaning, don't shoot the target! Don't scare the target!

Zhao Wuxian suddenly remembered the joke of "a drum officer in three years of learning arrows" in his previous life, and when he shot the first arrow, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

And when he practiced shooting, he found that Zhang Mengtan was really right, Fan He's archery level was not much better than that of the monarch, so Zhao Wuxian could use an ordinary Tuomu horn bow to complete the abuse.

The second round focuses on the competition, and the winner is determined according to the result of the archery.

Si Gun announced: "Don't let go! "Anyone who does not shoot through the target will not be counted!

According to the rules, the higher status of the upper shot in a couple, after saluting to the division, shoot first, after shooting an arrow, then draw an arrow from the waist and put it on the string, and then shoot from the bottom. This is done in turn until each of the four arrows has been shot.

The target reporter raised his voice to report the results to the court, and if he hit the target, the person in charge of calculating the results would draw out a chip and throw it on the ground. The top shot is thrown on the right, the bottom shot is on the left, and so on until all four are finished.

The only difference between a "trilogy" and a second shot is that you have to listen to the rhythm of the music.

The Jin Palace Band, which has 16 musicians, played a solemn and elegant ancient music, which is the song "Su Yu" in the "Book of Songs: Zhaonan", and the beat is played evenly and consistently.

Zhao Wuxian heard that there was a secret beard of King Wen of Zhou in the past who destroyed the ancient kingdom in the Qiqi Palace, and after it was captured, it was used as the "drum of the secret beard" of the founding treasure of the Jin Kingdom. But it seems that the volume is large and not easy to carry, otherwise, the face-loving Jin Houwu may also be brought out to show off.

The shooter shoots according to the rule of "no drums, no release", following the rhythm of the music. Shooting salute advocates "shooting to seek the right for yourself, and then sending it later, sending it but not hitting, but seeking yourself". That is, the archer must correct his posture before shooting the arrow, and if he does not shoot, he should not complain about the person who has won over him, but should reflect on himself.

This is not only a contest of force, but also a contest of morality, etiquette and culture, emphasizing modesty, courtesy, solemnity, and benevolence.

After the three rounds of shooting, it is the punishment and offering of wine.

The commander commanded: "The victor takes off his left sleeve, puts on his wrench, puts on his arm guard, and holds a bow with a tight string (indicating that he can shoot)." The loser shooter puts on his left sleeve, takes off his wrench and arm guard, and releases the bowstring. ”

The winner toasts to the loser, and the loser bows to the winner after drinking, and both sides bow to each other as a sign of respect.

The four couples of shooters came to the hall one after another, and the coupling where Zhao Wuxian was, naturally Fan He was defeated. He could only blacken his face, hold back his anger, take the wine jue handed over by Zhao Wuxian, drank it all, and bowed to Zhao Wuxian very reluctantly.

The winners of the remaining three couples are Fan Jia, Lu Xing, and Bank of China Heihu.

Needless to say, Lu Xing won. The Han clan has always been prosperous and martial, and the Zhongxing clan is the same as the Wei clan, known for knowing the soldiers and martial arts, and it is not surprising that Han Buxin lost. But Zhao Wuxian had also seen Wei Ju's archery skills, which was not bad, and he was actually defeated by Fan Jia, which made people a little surprised.

The guest Han Buxin announced the winners, and the king personally offered wine to the four winners, choosing them as palace armor or assistant priests as a reward.

Lu Xingcheng said in fear that he was just lucky to win, and the great sect Wei Ju had not entered the Qi Palace, and he did not dare to accept the position of palace armor.

The Marquis of Jin praised his "filial piety", and finally selected Wei Ju as the palace armor, and Lu Xing could join the army to "shoot more" for the military officials.

When passing by Zhao Wuxian, the Marquis of Jin remembered Zhao Wuxian's actions to relieve him and protect his face, so he was extremely friendly to him, smiled and nodded slightly, and selected him as the assistant sacrificer.

Compared to the black-clothed palace armor that has to wait for the palace every month, the priests have a higher degree of freedom, and they only need to enter during the ceremony. Zhao Wuxian was quite satisfied with this result, and naturally accepted it after following the rules and humbly.

Subsequently, the host Jin Hou and the guest Han Buxin also offered wine to each other, and began the travel and send-off ceremony as the end of the big shooter.

The remuneration of travel, that is, the reward, requires that the person with a high status start and then pay the wine downwards. Before drinking, they had to bow to each other, and the musicians played music in a loop to cheer up, so the sound of staggering in the shooting hall was staggered. Although Han's grandson was not selected, Han Buxin still congratulated Zhao Wuxian kindly.

And Zhisong was not too disappointed because of his grandson Zhixiao's defeat, although befriending the monarch is a tradition since their first generation of family heads Zhishou, but in addition to being a palace armor and assisting in sacrifices, there are many other ways to play.

He has been low-key to give up the limelight to Han Buxin, sitting on the seat and smiling at the crowd who came over to offer wine. It wasn't until a handsome official of the Zhi family came in and whispered a few words in his ear that Zhisong's face changed in vain.

Jin Houwu was extremely familiar with Zhiqing, and when he noticed the change in his mood, he asked with concern: "Zhongjun Zuo, what happened?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhisong's body, he could only sigh, got up and arched his hand towards the monarch, and said with a wry smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the second grandson of the subordinate is in trouble again......"

When the truth of the matter was spread in the Pan Palace, Zhao Wuxian lost his mind for a while.

Zhiyao didn't rush back to participate in the big shooter, not because of stage fright, nor because of the so-called "unable to rush back in time", but because he was planning a big event in Zhiyi.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Baidi tribe in the northeast of the Jin Kingdom, centered on the Xianyu State (Zhongshan State), formed a force with considerable territory and combat effectiveness. In the case that the princes of the Central Plains are not easy to fool and the Zhuqing family is unable to give up an inch of land, launching a war against Xianyu and its satellites Guogu, Fei, and Qiu You has become the most convenient way for Zhuqing to expand his own strength.

Their ancestors, Zhongxing Lin's father, and Zhongxing Wu, were all famous for destroying Rong Di and expanding their territory, and by the way, they also included the newly conquered Gu, Fei, Dongyang and other places under their own rule. The Zhi clan is not bad, their territory spans Taihang, close to some small towns inhabited by Rong Di.

Zhiyao, who was only fourteen years old, seemed to have this kind of vision, and he was ordered by Zhisong to go to a Zhishi county in the north to visit an uncle of Zhi's Xiaozong. After arriving at the place, on a whim, he temporarily commanded the county soldiers and launched a surprise attack on a Diyi checkpoint!

It is said that it was a fortress built on dangerous ground, and the Rongdi here fought fiercely, and the masters of the Zhishi clan and the Zhongxing family in the past generations tried repeatedly but could not break it. Now it was obtained by Zhiyao by a stratagem, he asked people to disguise themselves as Zheng Wei merchants, infiltrate the city to trade with Rong Di, and then suddenly attack to seize the city gate.

"The gentleman of the Zhi clan strategized in the army, with less than a brigade of soldiers, broke a large city, captured thousands of households, and killed more than 300 stubborn people!"
