Chapter 46: The Covenant
In the field, Yang Lin knew that Lu Zhishen didn't know much about the soldiers of Liangshan, and he was afraid that the people he selected would not be able to fight. I borrowed an excuse and went out.
However, at this time, Lu Zhishen had already selected three soldiers. When the Liangshan soldiers outside heard that they were going to play and compete with the Jurchens, they all excitedly signed up. The two sides agreed to win two out of three games, so Lu Zhishen only chose three people.
When Yang Lin looked at it, it was the three leaders who followed this time, and they were famous warriors in Liangshan. This time, Yang Lin also has a high opinion of Lu Zhishen.
The three people who were ordered followed Lu Zhishen and Yang Lin to the main hall in the envious eyes of everyone.
Over there, Jin Wushu also ordered three warriors in his entourage, and the two sides stood still in the middle of the field, divided into three groups according to their height and weight. Because it was a temporary idea, and under the eyes of the Jurchens, Wang Lun did not use the method of horse racing.
The first pair of two people came on the field, the two of them came and went, and they played happily, and everyone on the field also looked at them with smiles and cheers. The horns, competitions, and wrestling in the banquet have existed since ancient times, and they are all games at home and abroad.
The Jurchen warriors were burly, no less than eight feet tall, with bare arms and towering muscles. The figure of the Liang Shan soldiers who opposed him was dwarfed. However, when the two fought, it was half a catty and eight taels, and it was difficult to distinguish between high and low.
Under Wang Jin's careful training, Liangshan soldiers have long been different from what they used to be. And Wang Lun's non-pointering also exposed the best of these Liangshan soldiers to some hand-to-hand combat skills. In addition to the traditional points of attack, the hands, feet, arms, and legs, the knees, elbows, shoulders, and even the hips can also be used as points of attack.
Therefore, although the Jurchens have physical advantages, they are also skilled in sumo wrestling. But in the fight, he didn't take advantage of half of it. was even attacked by the elbow blows, knee tops, shoulder collisions and other attacks used by the Liang Shan soldiers to take advantage of the situation, and they were in a hurry.
The Jurchens off the field, from Wu Qimai below, were also attracted by the strange moves of Liang Shanbing on the field, and secretly surprised. Seeing that his people were about to be defeated, Jin Wushu hurriedly drank two glasses of water and wine.
Unexpectedly, this Liangshan wine was spicy, and the two glasses went straight to the top of his head, making his face flushed, so he was not embarrassed.
On the field, during the struggle, Liang Shanbing hit the Jurchen warrior with an elbow in the chest, and the Jurchen gasped in pain, and took a step backwards. The Liangshan soldiers were unforgiving, and took the opportunity to attack fiercely, suppressing the Jurchens again and again, and finally knocking them to the ground.
"Good!" Lu Zhishen did not shy away from shouting loudly. These people were chosen by him, and when he won, he naturally has a light on his face.
Shan Shiqi and Yang Lin clapped their hands and echoed loudly, while Wang Lun smiled.
"Good skills!"
The Jurchens present also showed generosity, and most of them gave applause and cheers to the victorious Liang Shanbing, but the face of the Wushu was a little stiff.
Naturally, a competition can't be stopped, not to mention that the Jurchens have lost the battle again and need to regain face.
In this way, after three competitions, Wang Lun and others were elated. The Jurchens present were not interested, and their faces were gloomy. In three competitions, the Jurchens lost two and won one, and were at a disadvantage.
The Jurchens wanted to overwhelm Wang Lun in momentum by virtue of the competition, but they didn't expect to make themselves disgraced and lose face!
The initiator of the Wushu was even more pale, a pair of iron fists were clenched, and the fingertips of the pinched ones turned white.
The atmosphere at the banquet couldn't help but get weird!
"Haha!" Wu Qimai laughed dryly, looked at Wang Lun and said, "I don't want to be more warriors in the south!" ”
Wanyan Ah was also in a hurry to round the field, "If you can travel thousands of miles, not avoid wind and frost, and not afraid of tigers and wolves, you are naturally first-class heroes!" ”
At this time, a Jurchen general who was accompanying him in the last seat got up and entered the arena and said loudly: "The young general Ah Li is asking for battle!" ”
Wanyan Wu begged to buy his beard and was silent, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Si's son Jin Wushu.
Ah Libu is also a warrior in the clan, and he only serves the golden vultures, but he is convinced. Even if Yan Zongwang and Yan Zonggan do it, Ah Libu will not listen to it.
Ah Li's intention to ask for war this time is self-evident, and he naturally wants to save face for his brother.
Wushu changed his decadence at this time, waved his hand to let Ah Libu retreat, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are invincible in the world, and I don't want the people to have such masters. This time, it really deserves its name! It's just that I don't know how your country's heroes are fighting, can you dare to fight immediately? ”
After listening to Yang Lin's translation, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I waited for this time to come north, and what I asked for was wealth." This competition is just for fun. If it is a horse battle, it is inevitable to use knives and guns, and then there will be casualties, which will hurt the peace of both sides. ”
Everyone in the audience only said that Wang Lun wanted to refuse, and didn't want Wang Lun to change his words, and said: "However, if you can stop at the point, it will not be hindered to have a discussion." ”
In this competition, the Jurchens lost face, and Wushu proposed a horse battle to try to regain face, all of which was expected by Wang Lun. And Wang Lun also wanted to see the power of the Jurchen horse war, so he naturally agreed.
Wang Lun's meaning, one is to see the combat power of the Jurchens, so that they know themselves and their opponents. If you lose, you have nothing to say, just keep up the good work. If he wins, it will greatly improve the status and prestige of the Song people among the Jurchens, unlike at this time, which is underestimated.
It was after the Jurchen southern expedition to the Northern Song Dynasty that the Northern Song Dynasty itself was not angry. Several battles with the Liao State were defeated and lost, which made the Jurchens look down on them in vain. It is ridiculous that the Northern Song Dynasty begged the Jurchens for Youzhou City, which the Jurchens captured, which was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.
The Jurchen nation is a nation born on horseback, although the Liangshan soldiers are all proficient in horse warfare, but compared with the Jurchen masters who have been on horseback since childhood, there is naturally a big gap, and it is difficult to defeat their hands.
Wushu listened to Yang Lin's translation, and laughed: "Your guest is really thoughtful, for the sake of friendship between the two sides, it should be stopped." ”
At this time, the night was dark, and the two sides agreed to compare tomorrow, and Wang Lun also took the opportunity to leave.
Leaving a cart of Liangshan wine behind, bidding farewell to Wu Qimai and other Jurchen high-level officials, Wang Lun and others returned to their shelter under the escort of Gru.
After Gru said goodbye, Lu Zhishen and the three ran to Wang Lun's room. They couldn't play in person tonight, and they were a little bit skilled. Especially Lu Zhishen, when he heard that there was still a competition tomorrow, he couldn't wait.
As soon as Lu Zhishen entered the house, he said: "Brother, the Sprinkle family failed to play tonight, tomorrow Brother Ma Zhan must promise the younger brother to let the Sprinkler family play!" ”
Wang Lun saw the eager eyes of the three of them, but he had to pour cold water: "Tonight's competition is just a joke, it's nothing, tomorrow's horse battle is the point." The Jurchens are a nation born on horseback, "riding up and down the cliff like flying, the Jijiang River does not need a boat, floating horses and crossing" their horse fighting skills can not be underestimated, tomorrow's comparison, we are afraid to lose more and win less. ”
Seeing that Wang Lun was worried, Shan Shiqi patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, tomorrow I am willing to take the lead and kill him personally." ”
"Brother, just rest assured, everything is sprinkled here!" Lu Zhishen also echoed from the side, his eyes were full of war.
Yang Lin can also be regarded as a cavalry general, but he is not good at fighting, so he said silently: "It would be nice if Sect Leader Lin was here!" ”
This northward trip is unpredictable, but Wang Lun regards Lin Chong as a shadow. Therefore, Yang Lin is not here, so Yang Lin has this to say.
Several people thought about it for a while, Wang Lun looked at Lu Zhishen and Shan Shiqi and said, "I'm afraid that only the three of us can win tomorrow." However, in the comparison of tomorrow, we are not to fight to win, but to explore the reality of the other party, so we don't need to look too seriously on victory or defeat. ”
"What's more, when we come north this time, we have to buy horses from the Jurchens. Tonight's comparison, we have made the Jurchens dare not underestimate. Compared with tomorrow, the Jurchens have the right time and place, even if we lose more and win less, we will not lose face. And it just happened to give the Jurchens a chance to regain face, and then they took the opportunity to propose the purchase of horses, coupled with the temptation of Liangshan wine, the Jurchens would definitely agree. The purpose of our trip is half accomplished. ”
Yang Lin also said on the side: "Our wine is very popular, and Gru told me tonight that I should leave some for him!" ”
"The Jurchens are addicted to alcohol and are good at killing, brewing millet into wine, and if they are drunk, they will wake up and not kill!" This is what Wang Lun has long expected.
After that, the four of them chatted a few more words, Lu Zhishen and the three of them went back to their rooms, and Wang Lun also took off his clothes to rest.
