Chapter 471: Victory

(Thanks to the handsome guy who loves beauty, the monthly pass support of several book friends who love →, Thirteen Friends, Wind Transit, and Xuanyan.) There are still three hours, everyone rummages through their pockets to see if there are any monthly passes that they forgot to vote, let's vote together! )

After Li Jing listened to the rules of the game from the Son of Heaven, he couldn't help frowning. Yesterday was not what I said, what I said yesterday was that Li Jing and Tian Lingzi each recommended four people to hit the ball, and the team that won the last team would become the deputy ambassador, deputy envoy, marching Sima, and judge of the two armies of Datong Army and Lu Longjun.

But now overnight, it has become the result that the winner enters the Datong army, and the loser can also enter the Lu Long army. Li Jing looked at Tian Lingzi, but he happened to see him looking at Li Jing with a smile on his face, and there was a bit of smugness in that smile. Needless to say, this change must have been promoted by Tian Lingzi. In this way, he will get a feudal town regardless of whether he wins or loses.

Although Li Jing is a little dissatisfied with these changes, he doesn't care too much. In Li Jing's heart, it is possible to fight for the Beidatong Army on behalf of the Beidatong Army, after all, this place is very important. But Lu Longjun is different, this is an old feudal town in Hebei, which has always been beyond the control of the imperial court. At present, although Lu Longzhen has stepped down for two consecutive festivals, Zhang Gongsu and Li Maoxun have not been replaced for long, but Li Keju is still Lu Long's queen, waiting for the imperial court to give him the official Lulong festival envoy.

At this time, the imperial court sent him to serve as the envoy of Lu Longjie, which was already stimulating these unruly arrogant generals, if such a group of deputy ambassadors, deputy envoys and other high-ranking officials went down, Hebei Youzhou would definitely be in chaos. You must know the Tao of Lu, after the Anshi Rebellion. The feudal towns of the world often mutinied. Among them, Lulong Town has the largest number of mutinies. According to the information collected by Li Jing. After the Anshi Rebellion, the three most turbulent feudal towns in the world were Lulong Town, Youzhou, and the first soldiers mutinied more than 20 times. followed by Wei Bojun, who mutinied eighteen times, and then Zelu Town, which is now Zhaoyi Town, mutiny twelve times before and after.

This damn eunuch Tian only has power in his heart. They saw his previous 20,000 troops enter Youzhou. basically controlled the situation in Lulong, so do you really think that Lulong Town is muddy? Last time, Li Jing completely relied on the discord between Li Keju and the military leaders to have that opportunity. And Li Jing only supported Li Keju to control Youzhou, and he didn't really get involved in it completely. Tian Lingzi really wanted to send his brother to Youzhou, Li Jing was willing to watch a good show, but Guan Jian was almost ruined by his previous strategic arrangement, which made him not hate.

Moreover, in this new rule, the last one to choose the official position of the marshal government is based on the number of individual hits, which is undoubtedly a very powerful trick. And so it goes. Mi Haiwan and the others will definitely not be able to cooperate. These people are ambitious people, and if they don't want to be deputy ambassadors and envoys of moderation, maybe what should have been done may capsize in the gutter. And after increasing to ten people on each side, this also made Li Jing's side a little unprepared.

"Dashuai, I don't think this Tian Lingzi is well-intentioned, we have to be careful to prevent it." If it's just a four-man match, the scene won't be too chaotic. But if it's a 20-man race, it's going to be chaotic. Li Jing heard the meaning of Li Zhen's words, there were many people in chaos, maybe Tian Lingzi would secretly make a trick.

It is too common to make intrigue moves on and off the court, such as Tang Xuanzong, who is known as Little Taizong, is the uncle of Tang Wuzong Li Yan, Li Yan has always wanted to kill him but it is not convenient to attack publicly, so he sent people to take the opportunity of the ball game to plot and assassinate. However, Li Chen's riding skills are excellent, and his ball skills are superb, it is reported that he runs every time he holds a bow to take advantage of the momentum, bows in the air, hits hundreds of consecutive shots and gallops more than once, as fast as thunder and lightning, two years of veterans are able to convince his ability, and he can be called the first skill in the polo skills of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he escaped the poisonous hand.

In his later years, Tang Xuanzong favored An Lushan and entrusted him with the important task of envoys of the Three Towns. His son, Tang Suzong Li Heng, had already caught a glimpse of An Lushan's rebellious ambitions, and wanted to kill him several times by taking the opportunity to play. In the end, due to Tang Xuanzong's protection, he failed to do so.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan led his troops to rebel, and a large area of land north of the Yellow River fell into the hands of the rebels, and Yan Zhenqing and other officials insisted on resisting the rebels. However, there are few soldiers and food shortages, and the situation is very dangerous. At a time of hardship and hardship, Changshan Taishou Wang Li was shaken, and exchanged letters with Shi Siming, the deputy division of the rebel army, hooked up, and prepared to lead his troops to surrender. The officers under Tsuneyama Taishou were all men with a sense of justice and were unwilling to surrender to the rebels. However, Wang Li's surrender was not yet clear, and it was inconvenient to oppose it. If his plot becomes true, and there are rebels as foreign aid, it will be difficult to deal with. So, a dozen petty officers took the opportunity of the game to knock down Wang Li's horse, and the other dozen horsemen then rushed up and ran over at a gallop, trampling the traitor Wang Li's bones like mud and blood stained the loess, crushing the conspiracy of this surrender.

Li Jing thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that we don't have enough manpower on our side, so call Bo Wu and the six of them together, and let them concentrate on protecting General Xin." ”

Li Zhen also thinks that this method is feasible, among Li Jing's six disciples, Liu Xun and Gao Siji play polo very well, and the other four learn to play polo late, although their polo skills are not high, but their riding skills are very good, let them take care of it on the field, but it is good.

Soon, eunuchs came to inquire about the players of the two teams, each team was on the field, and there could be five substitutes. The ten people on Li Jing's side are Xin Yan and Mi Haiwan, Shi Jingcun, Qi Bizhang and Li Jing's six disciples, the five substitutes are Xin Yan's two nephews, mountain monks and elders, and the other three are Mi Haiwan and one subordinate of each of them.

Tian Lingzi's side was the fifteen generals of the Zuo Shence Army, among which Chen Jingxuan was actually on the bench, which made Li Jing secretly feel that something was not right.

The polo teams of both sides, Li Jing's side gave a white narrow-sleeved shirt with a lack of crotch, and Tian Lingzi's side gave a brown robe with narrow sleeves and a lack of crotch. In order to highlight the ornamentality, the war horses on both sides also used different colors, the last war horses on Li Jing's side were all pure white horses, and the dark horses on the side of the Shence Army. The ponytails on both sides are also knotted according to the rules of the court.

The court of the entire Lin De Hall is 40 zhang long and more than 16 zhang wide. The whole stadium is very well repaired, looking down like a mirror. There is a special rule that no grass can grow on the course. And in order to avoid dusty play, the course has to be poured with oil after it is built. Make the field smooth and shiny.

The entire Stadium of the Grace Palace. It can accommodate 5,000 people at the same time.

After everything is ready. It was almost noon, and Li Yi, the son of heaven, who had changed into a narrow-sleeved military uniform, appeared on the court on horseback. He held a moon staff in his right hand, and in his right hand he held a hollow wooden seven-horse ball slightly smaller than his fist and embroidered with colorful colors.

The Son of Heaven will personally kick off today's game, which drew cheers and cheers from the entire court.

On top of Li Yi's sweat and blood, the whole person has indeed changed his momentum and become extremely confident. Standing in the middle of the court, Li Yi first rode his horse around the field slowly. Then return to the center of the court and throw the seven balls into the air without hurrying.

However, at this time, the polo players of both teams were watching from the sidelines and did not go up to fight.

The polo was thrown high in the air, and then fell, at this moment, Li Yi kicked the horse's belly, shouted, held the moon staff with both hands, and violently twisted his waist and stretched his arms forward.

On the spot, someone shouted a congratulatory poem: "Turn your arm sideways and hold the horse's belly, and the thunderbolt should gallop with the magic bead!" ”

In the midst of thunderous congratulations. The multicolored polo whistled towards the left goal, and the polo went straight into the hole about a foot high in the wooden wall. Fall into the net behind the hole.

The audience cheered and cheered for the emperor's wonderful kick-off performance. Li Jing was also a little surprised, the emperor stood on the middle line of the field, although no one was fighting, but a shot directly hit the hole in the wooden wall forty steps away that was only more than a foot high, this accuracy still surprised him. No wonder I heard that the emperor once said to Youlingshi Wild Boar that if there was a polo subject in the imperial examination, he would definitely become the champion.

The later Song Huizong is an emperor who is excellent in calligraphy and painting, and there is also a post-Tang Dynasty master Li Yu is a generation of words, and now this Li Yu is only thirteen years old, and his polo skills are so powerful, he can definitely be called a generation of polo masters. It's a pity that Li Yi and Song Huizong are the same as the Tang Queen, they are still an emperor.

After Li Yi scored this goal, the two teams entered, one company was a white-robed thorn team, and on the other side was a brown-robed black horse's Shence general army. In front of Li Yi, the two teams first held a club exchange ceremony to show friendship.

Then Li Yi retreated to the sidelines, threw the seven balls in his hand into the air, a drum sounded, and the polo plug officially began.

At the beginning of the game, it was immediately exciting, the ten people on Xin Yan's side were all first-class border army generals, and the Shence Army was a polo master of the forbidden army, except for the three generals nominated by Tian Lingzi, the remaining seven people were all polo worshippers of the Shence Army Polo Team.

"The ball of beads is thrown suddenly, the cane of the moon is striking, and the division is driven and the arms are overlapped." Li Zhen watched the game in the field, and couldn't help but improvise a poem at this time.

The hourglass was already on the field, with a guard under each side of the door, and five drummers in the back.

On the sidelines, two rows of flags, one white and the other brown, stood behind each flag with a singing guard.

At this time, the ball on the field had just fallen, and both sides were dancing with moon sticks and desperately scrambling. Li Cunxiao has the most strength, but he is not very proficient in polo, so as soon as the game starts, he directly crashes into the opponent's team. There are not many rules for polo matches, except that no intentional injury can be made, some physical contact, etc., are allowed.

Yang Shili, the general of the Shence army, saw that the ball was hit by his teammates, and hurriedly galloped forward, but unexpectedly, a big black man rushed over, and the moon staff in his hand was raised high, and when the two horses were staggered, he suddenly hit his arm with a fierce elbow, and immediately half of his body was numb, and the moon staff in his hand stagnated, and he had not hit the ball. The flower-haired Xin Yan had already rushed over like a flying horse, half-leaning down, waving his arms, and the colorful polo ball quickly whistled through a beautiful arc and flew towards the opponent's goal.

Seeing that the game had just begun, there was already a shot on goal, and the aristocrats who were watching stood up one after another and watched with their necks drawn.

The guards standing behind the goal shouted: "The ball is in!" ”

The five drummers immediately cheered up and beat a joyful drum beat, and the judgment of the scene shouted at the same time: "The white team has scored a goal!" A guard hurriedly pulled out a flag from the small white flag, walked to the stage on one side, and planted a white flag!

It was only at this time that the audience on the field saw that there was indeed a colorful treasure ball lying in the net behind the goal hole of the brown team! (To be continued......)
