After the two selected the team, the two teams lined up in two rows and arrived in front of the Hanguang Palace, Tang Xuanzong walked to Taichung with great interest and announced:
"Okay, An Lushan, and the soldiers of the Longwu Army, today, whoever wins the game will be rewarded!"
"Oh... Oh, Your Majesty is wise!" The soldiers cheered in unison, and their faces were filled with bright and excited smiles.
An Lushan's eyes were even more golden flashing, and he seemed to have a stable heart.
Polo is also called ju, it is very popular in Datang, in addition to horses, the main equipment is balls and sticks. The balls, the size of a fist, are made of lightweight, flexible wood, hollowed out in the middle and painted on the outside. It is generally red or painted, and the sticks used to play polo are called "sticks" and "bow sticks". Since the curved part of the tip of the bat is shaped like a "half-quarter moon" at the beginning of the lunar month, it is made of vine living wood.
The reason why polo is so popular is also related to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.
Internally, because the Li family is a descendant of Xianbei, it is a nation on horseback and likes polo.
Externally, the ambassadors of Tibet, Turkic and other countries often send polo players to fight against the Tang Dynasty, demonstrating the national and military prestige.
After all, good equestrianism proves that the country's horses are good, and the people are strong enough to ride and shoot and fight! It is as if the military exercises of later generations will bloom their combat effectiveness and thus intimidate the enemy.
"Rack..."
Long Wujun's match against An Lushan was carried out quickly, and after the start of the game, the polo players galloped back and forth like the wind and returned to the electric shock, waving their sticks, fierce confrontation, and the confrontation between horses and horses! Suddenly, the yellow sand rolled, the shouting and shouting shook the sky, making people's blood spine, and they couldn't take their eyes off it, the two sides came and went, especially An Lushan, who seemed to be fat, but the fat man who was fierce and brave, was simply invincible, and pierced through the opponent's door again and again, however, the overall strength of the Longwu Army was stronger, An Lushan was difficult to support alone, and was more flowered by the other party, and was defeated and retreated, An Lushan almost turned the tide from time to time and tied the score.
Yang Yuhuan's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, staring closely at the field, a pair of Rouyi were more quietly dragging and rattling, but Li Tan was as immobile as a mountain, and glanced at Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan, and found that the plump and beautiful Yang Guifei couldn't leave An Fatty, and her legs were still clamped tightly, and her heart was dark:
"Oh, I'll go, this Yang Yuhuan won't be so colorful, can he just watch a polo game?"
is also a woman, Li Tan doesn't know what it means to clamp her legs, either a woman's friend is coming, or her heart is budding, her martial arts are world-famous, and she never went to the frozen gate of the Tianshan Mountains before retreating, especially during the period when she had a very good relationship with Li Pan at the beginning, she would also be provoked by the other party to hide her embarrassment...
Therefore, Yang Yuhuan's subtleties and hidden small movements can only be easily detected by her; her mind is racing, and Li Tan immediately understands that Yang Yuhuan is upright and strong, Tang Xuanzong is more than 60 years old, and the old husband and young wife are naturally weak, not to mention that there are many beauties and concubines in the palace, so that she may not be happy every night; Li Tan even maliciously speculated that this Yang Yuhuan may also have fallen in love with An Lushan, when will he put on a certain green hat for Tang Xuanzong!
Just when Li Tan was thinking wildly, Huo Di and Gao Lishi broke out into a burst of cheers, and Tang Xuanzong clapped his hands and smiled, saying:
"Good!"
"Long Wujun is good, worthy of being one of the three heroes of my forbidden army!"
It turned out that the victory and defeat had been divided, An Lushan's team lost by one goal, and Long Wujun won!
Similarly, the winner of the bet will naturally be revealed, and Tang Xuanzong will win!
Li Tan defeated!
Tang Xuanzong smiled and was overjoyed, but An Lushan was angry and whipped his prancing horse, drove the horse to the front of Hanguang Palace, and held the club unwillingly:
"Your Majesty! An Lushan is not convinced! The Longwu army is waiting for work, we have traveled thousands of miles, the horses are tired, and the water and soil are not adaptable, please ask Your Majesty to give a few more days, An Lushan will inevitably fight with the Longwu army again!"
Tang Xuanzong's dragon eyes flashed a trace of unhappiness, and since Gao Lishi, the old eunuch who was observant of his words, looked into his eyes, he shouted and stopped:
"Bold An Lushan! Dare to offend Long Wei, victory and defeat have been decided, you still talk nonsense, Shen Xiong quibbles! On the battlefield, General An, will you argue with the Turkic thieves like this?"
"Your Majesty!" An Lushan was not afraid of Gao Lishi's shouting, but instead spoke eloquently, and said in a loud voice:
"Shengshang, An Lushan is a rough man, but also a general, I am not afraid of failure, but I am not convinced by defeat, I am unwilling to be defeated, I must wait for the day and defeat the Longwu Army!"
Tang Xuanzong didn't say a word, and his appearance of not being happy or angry made people guess what he was thinking.
Yang Yuhuan interjected:
"Your Majesty, General An seems to be a never-say-die iron man, this unyielding arrogance is much stronger than Yang Jingshu and others, and he is a rare fierce general. ”
Yang Jingshu in Yang Yuhuan's mouth is the general of the Hexi Jiedu envoy in the Kaiyuan period; when the Turkic Viga Khan sent the Tuyi Valley Hui army through Chiting, plundered the sheep and horses of Liangzhou, and defeated the army of Yang Jingshu, the Emperor of the Tang Hexi Jiedu, the prestige of the Viga Khan was greatly boosted, Tang Xuanzong lost face at that time, Yang Yuhuan at this time which pot did not open which pot, obviously private favor and coquettish, fell into the emperor's face!
Gao Lishi's eyes burst out with a terrifying light, stopping Yang Yuhuan from continuing to speak.
Clinker, this Yang Yuhuan already wants to protect Lushan, so he chattered endlessly:
"Your Majesty, General An..."
Li Tan, Li Pan, and Li Wangsheng were keenly aware of Tang Xuanzong's anger, and the whole person exuded a terrifying sense of danger from a fierce beast, but unfortunately, although Yang Yuhuan looked like a country and a city, he was slightly inferior to a few people.
"Bump!"
Tang Xuanzong slapped the red sandalwood dragon chair angrily, his eyes swept over Yang Yuhuan like a sharp blade, and his face was pale, and he hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy:
"Ah, Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty is gracious, and the concubines speak in vain..."
Li Tan and the three of them sneered in their hearts, indifferently stayed out of the matter, and even saw Tang Xuanzong deflated, and a little happy.
Seeing that Tang Xuanzong could not come to the stage, the role of Gao Lishi, the chief manager of Ouchi, was immediately revealed, and he said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, what Niangniang said just now is nothing more than to praise you for your insight into heroes, and you have a blessed general An Lushan, General An has a miraculous feat in repelling the Turks, but after all, he is a Hu person, I don't know how many of our Tang Dynasty rites..."
Before the words fell, An Lushan knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed to his head, and said: "Yes, yes, this lord said it well, Your Majesty, I'm An Lushan, I don't know the rules, I just collided with Your Majesty, and the concubine Niangniang, I An Lushan deserves death, I..."
"Okay, An Lushan, you get up and speak. Tang Xuanzong said:
"Concubine, stand down for the time being. ”
After a slight pause, he stared at the fat An Lushan again, and said with a smile:
"An Lushan, since you are defeated today. “
