Volume 4 The Boat Against the Current Chapter 190 Seize the Opportunity
There were thousands of people on the school field at this time, but there was silence, and no one dared to believe that their proud Keju would be defeated at the feet of the Liao people. After a while, everyone slowly accepted this embarrassing fact, and everyone showed a look of loss, despair, and dazedness on their faces.
Even Ya'er, who didn't care so much about the love of her family and country, looked a little heavy after seeing this result, and looked seriously and worriedly at the big Song players on the court who had already run out of strength and fell to the ground, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.
Among the many Song people at the scene, the only one whose face was not so ugly seemed to be Sun Tu. Because he saw something strange soon after the Keju match began, at this time, after looking at the players on both sides on the court, he thoughtfully fell on Yelu Jian's body: "Brother Yelu is really good, and he actually used the art of war on the Keju field." ”
Yelu Arrow didn't deny it, but just smiled: "Since there is no certainty of victory, it is natural to use some extraordinary means." ”
Hearing him say this, Sun Tu knew that his judgment was really good. In today's game, the Liao people deliberately retained their physical strength at the beginning, so they were extremely passive in the first two quarters, and even were pulled away from the score. But in the last quarter, when the Song people had exhausted their physical strength, the Liao showed their true strength, and with the physical reserves that were already stronger than the Song people, they overtook them in one fell swoop and won the final victory.
However, this is not a violation, and the Song people can't find any reason to justify themselves at all. Even if he was reluctant, at this time, Zhao Ji could only give the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, which he regarded as a treasure, to the Liao captain who was arrogant.
"Since it was the Liao envoy team who won this Keju match, I will give you this cup. I also hope that the friendship between Song and Liao will last as strong as this cup. As he spoke, Zhao Ji handed the cup to the chamberlain beside him, and he held it and sent it to the captain of the Liao people, the player who had made the final decision.
After receiving the cup with both hands, the Khitan man named Xiao Shuhu suddenly raised the cup high above his head, and then said loudly: "I just said, I will win this battle!" Maybe in terms of ingenuity, my Da Liao is not the opponent of the Song State, but compared to the skill, even if there are more Song people, it is impossible for me to be the opponent of Da Liao, even if you will look for the so-called alliance behind your back, even if it is your best sport, you will also be defeated under our Da Liao! ”
These words made the Liao team members, who were already quite excited, raise their hands high, and then hammer their chests with their right hands, shouting: "Da Liao will win!" Da Liao is mighty! The majestic roar immediately echoed over the school grounds, and it had the courage to swallow mountains and rivers.
Although these Liao people spoke their own Khitan dialect, there were still many Song people present who could understand the meaning of their words, and after their translation, almost all of them's faces darkened by three points, especially Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, was so angry that his dragon body trembled slightly, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Not only him, but also those civil officials in the DPRK and China who were known for their eloquence in the past, have also become saw-mouthed gourds one by one at this time, silent. Because the fact of defeat is just around the corner, they really can't refute it. You must know that this time the Great Song Dynasty sent the most powerful Keju masters in the forbidden army, and even they were defeated at the feet of the Liao, what excuse can they find?
Sun Tu also quickly knew what Xiao Shu was talking about, and while feeling a little dissatisfied, his heart suddenly moved, isn't this a great opportunity for him to get out of the current predicament?
Thinking of this, he suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "You and the Liao people are really simple-minded, and you can't see that this is the game that this is the game that this is the one that the Great Song Dynasty tolerated you out of etiquette, and deliberately let you wait to win this game?" I can't imagine that not only do you not want to repay the favor, but you are so ashamed, which is really ridiculous and generous! ”
As soon as these words came out, thousands of pairs of eyes at the scene fell towards Sun Tu in unison. Many people were surprised and wondered about the identity of the speaker. Because he stood up from the Liao people, logically speaking, he should be a member of the Liao State Mission, but how could he speak to the Great Song Dynasty?
Soon after, someone recognized his identity and it quickly went viral. When everyone learned that it was Sun Tu, who had already been recognized by everyone as having committed treason, who spoke out to protect the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty at this embarrassing juncture, they were even more puzzled, and they looked at each other but didn't know how to react.
Among them, the most surprising is the arrow of Jerod. He really didn't expect Sun Tu to suddenly jump out and confront his own-for-tat, could it be that he refused to go back to Liao with him after all?
Xiao lost a sneer when he was refuted: "You Song people were easily defeated by us, but it is obvious to all, don't you still admit it?" This is the difference between the strength and weakness of my Da Liao and your Song Kingdom, whether it is on the battlefield or in this arena, you can't be my Da Liao's opponent! ”
At this time, Sun Tu had already walked down from the opening stage step by step, shaking his head as he walked: "Why don't you barbarians still understand, you can win In addition to the fact that you people are indeed the first-class juju masters in the Liao Kingdom, what is more important is that my Great Song Dynasty deliberately tolerated the hospitality of guests, so I didn't send the strongest lineup."
"If I expected it to be true, more than ten of you would be the Keju masters selected by the Liao State from the tens of millions of people who spent a lot of time, and they have carried out high-intensity training for you, so you will have such an excellent performance today, right? It can be said that this time to challenge my Great Song is a strategy that you have been planning for a long time, in order to achieve this victory. Am I right? ”
Xiao Losthu is an upright Khitan man, and when faced with Sun Tu, who judged correctly, he couldn't lie and deny it, so he could only be silent. But just by seeing that he didn't refute, everyone present knew that what Sun Tu said was true.
Then, I heard him continue: "But on the other hand, my Great Song Dynasty court, we just responded in a hurry, and only selected a few soldiers from the forbidden army who are usually good at juju to compete with you in the future, plus they all have the heart to forbear, and it is reasonable to lose to you in the end." If my Great Song Dynasty really wants to achieve this victory, with the reality that my whole country is proficient in Keju, will I not be able to choose a Keju team that can completely defeat you? Not to mention searching the whole country, just in this Tokyo city, let me, a court official, look carefully, and I can form a team to defeat you easily! ”
"Hahaha...... You are simply a strong word, and you want to defeat us even by you? The other party was provoked by this, and was immediately fooled and retorted loudly.
"What? Do you not believe it? Dare to make a bet with me, give me three or five days, and wait for me to find a few people who are good at juju and play with you again, so as to determine whether you win or lose! Sun Tu said, his eyes were completely fixed on the other party, and he also put on an angry expression on his face that he would not dare to forgive you.
"Why don't you dare!" Xiao Yu suddenly responded with excitement, and it was not until the words came out that he realized that he had fallen into Sun Tu's calculations, and his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Chen Xiangnan nervously.
Chen Xiangnan's face was also a little ugly at this time, Sun Tu jumped out and did disrupt his overall plan, and after Yelu Jian whispered two words, he stood up and said to Zhao Ji, who also had a different face: "Your Majesty Emperor Song, the foreign minister thinks that this matter cannot be decided because of the two of them, after all, it is a matter of honor and disgrace of the Song State, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice before making a holy judgment." ”
Although the words were not thoroughly spoken, the meaning of the threat was conveyed to the past. If the Song people really accepted Sun Tu's statement, then the two sides would inevitably fight again. And once the Song people lose the next game, the damage to Da Song will be much stronger than today's friendly match, and they will naturally have to weigh the severity.
Zhao Ji really showed an extremely tangled expression on his face, he really couldn't accept such a result. But if there is another match, will the court really be sure to win? Especially the courtier who jumped out to refute the Liao people, although he still seems to have a vague impression of this person, but he also knows that his identity is low, is it really credible?
At the same time, all the officials also muttered in private, almost eighty or ninety percent of people are not optimistic that Sun Tuzhen can lead people back to a city, after all, everyone knows that he is already the top Keju master in Tokyo today, and he will only lose worse after the substitution.
Only Tong Guan was a surprise at this time, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, thinking about whether to push the boat down the river and make another race to the Son of Heaven. After all, he is the main person in charge of today's Keju Competition, if he fails like this, he will not only have a dull face, but he will also eat some hangs in front of the Son of Heaven. However, the risk of another match is also very high, and if he loses again, he is really guilty.
Just when everyone was waiting for Zhao Ji to make a decision, a royal disciple beside him suddenly got up and came to him and whispered something. This made Zhao Ji, who was still hesitant, finally have a decision, and he looked at Sun Tu: "Sun Tu, are you really sure to win?" ”
"Since the minister is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, he should do his best to protect the glory of my Great Song Dynasty. If Your Majesty is willing to let the ministers form another team, the ministers will definitely be able to defeat the Liao people and achieve victory! Sun Tu immediately replied, his tone affirmative.
"Then as you said, Liao envoy, our two countries will have another game!" Zhao Ji finally clapped his head.
And this time, in addition to being a little worried, the ministers couldn't help but look at Sun Tu in surprise, how could this guy be able to let the prince of the dynasty speak for him?
That's right, the young man who spoke for Sun Tu just now and made Zhao Ji make a decision is the current crown prince Zhao Huan!
And Sun Tu himself breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, so that he finally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and could get out of the predicament in front of him.
