Outside Hankyung. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just outside the moat of the outer city, it's a pretty lively town. The people of Hanking call this place the ball town, and this name comes from the stadiums in the town.

Approaching the end of the year, the Zhenguan eight-year playoffs of the Datang Polo Super League are in full swing.

Today is the day when the Bashang Bailu team of the Bashang Li family is fighting at home, and Li Chao came to watch the game with his family early in the morning. Because the fierce competition of polo matches is full of spectacle, polo has always been a favorite activity of Datang people. Up to the emperor and prime minister, down to the peddler pawn.

Everyone loves to watch polo.

And those nobles in Beijing have their own polo teams. Some large chambers of commerce, commercial houses, and business names also have their own polo teams.

Since Li Gan got the support of Li Chao eight years ago and founded the polo league, to now after eight years, the Datang Polo League has become more and more lively and famous.

This ball town arose because of the polo game.

There are many courses in the town, and the Li family also owns one.

The Li family's stadium is called Bashang White Deer Stadium, which is an open-air stadium that can accommodate 10,000 people, and it is also one of the largest stadiums in Hanjing.

The Li family's Bashang White Deer team has won four championships in eight years, and it is not surprising that they have made the playoffs again this year.

If they win the championship again this year, the White Deer team will achieve five consecutive championships.

At the moment, no team has won four crowns.

As the owner of the Bashang White Deer team, Li Chao certainly has a box in the stadium.

Around the side of the court, there is a ring of boxes, a total of one hundred and eight boxes.

It's still very cool to sit in the box and watch the ball, and there are special maids in the box, and tea and snacks are also provided.

As soon as Li Chao entered the box, someone immediately came to visit.

The ball game hasn't started yet, and today the Bashang Bailu team of the Bashang Li family played at home against the Baoyue Oolong team of the Weijun Wang Wei Chi Gong family. Wei Chi's Baoyue Oolongs team is also a powerhouse in the league, reaching the playoffs every year in the past eight years, and winning a total of two annual championship trophies.

The old black lieutenant Chi Gong took the little black lieutenant Chi Baolin to the box.

"Wen Yuan, in today's game, my Wei Chi family is determined to win." As soon as Wei Chigong came, he bragged and amplified his words.

Li Chao smiled, "This is my Li family's home field." ”

Today's polo league has a total of 30 teams, and every year they are divided into two divisions by lottery for the regular season. The top eight finishers in the final two divisions advance to the playoffs.

The playoffs are a knockout system with four wins out of seven.

Finally, the two divisional champions will be decided, and then the two divisional champions will compete in the finals to determine the overall champion.

Originally, the White Deer team and the Baoyue Oolong team were both teams with the strength to win the championship, but they collided first in the playoffs. This means that only one of the two teams will be able to participate in the finals this year.

Today is the first game of the two, according to the rules, the Li family has two home games and two away games, another home game and another away game, and then a home game. With four home games, it is definitely stronger than Wei Chi's family in terms of momentum.

"I don't think it's a good format." Wei Chigong also knows that the Li family has always been tough, especially this year, several star players are in good shape and have not been injured. On the contrary, the two main forces of their family were injured.

"It's good, it's intense." Li Chao said with a smile.

There are many polo teams in Datang, but it is not easy to join the league, there are only 30 teams in the league, although it is not fixed, and it adopts the mechanism of two promotions and two reductions every year.

The two teams with the worst results each year will be relegated to the Datang First Division Polo League. The two teams with the best results in the first division every year can be promoted to the Datang Super Polo League.

Super, Class A, Class B, Level 1 are not easy. Of the 30 teams that have been able to enter the Super League, which one is not quite remarkable.

Being able to join the Super League is not only famous, but also wealthy.

The influence of today's Super League is not ordinary, selling tickets, selling snacks, selling jerseys, and even pulling sponsors and selling advertisements, the annual income is amazing, even if it is on the Li family, this is also a good opportunity to advertise for yourself.

Not to mention, there is also the lottery, which is a lottery issued by the league, and pays heavy taxes to the imperial court, but the income is still extremely amazing.

Wei Chigong sat down and said a few words about the team, and then asked Li Chao in a low voice, "Does Wen Yuan know who is the main general in Zhengliao?" "Wei Chigong has been the governor of the Right Army for several years, and now he is about to conquer Liao, and he thinks that he knows the most about Goguryeo.

"General Wei Chi wants to be the commander?"

Lao Hei smiled.

"As far as I know, there are a lot of people who want to compete for the main general this time." Li Chaodao.

"Anyway, Wenyuan, you have to stay behind, you can't fight with me." Wei Chigong looked like he was awesome without you Li Chao, who could still fight with me.

Then Li Chao pointed people with Wei Chigong's wrench, "Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is like a god in using soldiers, and what he is best at is to run long distances with fewer enemies. Li Ji, the deputy privy envoy, is good at planning and fighting, and is best at fighting in large corps, and has a strong ability to attack fortifications. In addition, the deputy privy envoy King Qi County, the Governor of the Chinese Army, the King of Lu County, etc., are all famous generals who can fight well. ”

"I can fight too!" Wei Chigong said unconvinced.

"The position of the commander, don't fight for the county king, I dare to say, Your Majesty will definitely recruit in person when the time comes, who can grab this boss? General Wei Chi can grab a vanguard, or be the main general of the way. ”

"Your Majesty wants to recruit in person? No way? Didn't you say that you were sitting in Dengzhou? ”

Li Chao smiled, he knew something about Li Shimin's character. If you really want to fight, Li Shimin is willing to sit still? At the beginning, they all traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions on an expedition, and if others were in Dengzhou, they could still endure it.

"I think the king of the county might as well give the opportunity to my students, Pauline is now the protector of Anton, and has been guarding the town of Beisha in southern Liaoning for several years. He is very familiar with the Goguryeo people and Liaodong, and if the king of the county is willing to contribute to Bao Baolin, he will definitely be able to be a pioneer all the way to southern Liaoning. This is a great opportunity to make a meritorious service! ”

"He's your student, who are you not protecting?" Yu Chi Lao Hei said shamelessly.

"Pauline is still not your own?" Li Chao scolded with a smile.

Yu Chi Baolin sat on the side with a dark face, speechless.

While we were talking, someone came again.

But it was Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, and Niu Jinda, these old brothers, who came. As soon as Cheng Yanjin saw Yu Chigong and Li Chao sitting there, muttering and muttering, he immediately shouted, "What are you two discussing there, are you discussing match-fixing?" ”

Li Chao got up to greet a few people and rolled his eyes at Cheng Yanjin.

"Why do I need to play match-fixing when I go to the Li family?"

Cheng Biting Jin shouted, "Who knows how your family's four champions came about, anyway, my Cheng family's curly-haired lion beast team is not convinced, I have always suspected that you Li Sanlang deliberately threatened to buy off the opponent team and let them release water for you." ”

In the Super League, the most powerful teams are basically the teams of the famous generals in the DPRK and China. These teams are as tough as the soldiers brought out by the famous generals.

The teams formed by those merchants can generally only play in the second division, and even the first division is mostly a team of aristocratic families.

But everyone also knows that Lao Cheng likes to joke.

The Li family has the best horses, the best players, and even the best stadiums, and the salaries of their players are also top-notch.

However, in the first and second divisions, there are really match-fixing, but once it is discovered, the team that dares to play match-fixing will generally be disqualified, or even permanently banned, which can be said to be extremely punishable, which is also a very cost-effective thing.

The relatives of the family play the team, or fight for face, and it is not interesting to play match-fixing.

Luo Shixin said to Wei Chigong with some sympathy, "King Wei Jun is not very lucky this year, he was drawn to San Lang's house in the playoffs, which will be eliminated in the first round." ”

Wei Chi Gong was unconvinced, "This is the first time, and the fight hasn't started yet, why do you say that my Wei Chi family will definitely lose." Four wins in seven games, victory or defeat is unpredictable! ”

Qin Qiong and the others laughed together.

The Li family's Bashang Bailu team is strong in itself, and there are no main injuries this year, and even the substitutes who sit on the cold bench are of first-class level, and the Wei Chi family will definitely lose if they meet the Li family as soon as they come.

Fans in Beijing have already predicted that the Li family will be the favorite for this year's championship, and maybe the first five-crown team in the league will be born.

Wei Chigong said hatefully, "Next year, Lao Tzu will also spend a lot of money to sign a few masters!" ”

He despises Li Chao very much, isn't it all because of the money, digging up the main forces of other teams everywhere, and piling up a super luxury all-star lineup.

However, Li Chao is rich, and not only is he rich, but he also has a future when he joins the Li family.

But in the final analysis, the team is a plaything to Li Chao, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chi Gong. The team is only running for the family.

A group of generals sat together, and of course they were most concerned about the war.

Niu Jinda, who returned from the Western Regions, talked to Li Chao about the recent dishonesty of the Sassanid Persian Empire. Three years ago, Niu Jinda asked the imperial court to take the initiative to attack, strike first, and swallow Mo Helu and Qili.

Under the persuasion of Li Chao and other ministers, Li Shimin agreed to this plan.

The imperial court ordered Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo to send troops to cooperate, and Niu Jinda led the Tang army in the Western Regions to cross the Tianshan Mountains to the north to attack the Western Turks.

The battle went well, and Mo Helu had been secretly planning to restore the control of the Western Turks over the Western Regions, but he didn't expect the Tang army to come as soon as he said it, and he was caught off guard.

Niu Jinda swept north of the Tianshan Mountains and west of the Green Ridge, captured his strength alive, and slashed Mo Hedu. The Western Turkic tribes were defeated, many surrendered, and the rest fled to Persia.

Niu Jinda led his army all the way to the Aral Sea before stopping, and occupied the homeland of Tocharia.

The Western Turks perished, and the Tang Dynasty also bordered the Sassanid Empire of Persia.

The imperial court then even established a military fort at the southern end of Tocharo, and established the Persian Protectorate.

"The Persians want to take Tocharian away, Wen Yuan, I want to invite the imperial court and gather troops and horses to compete with the Persians!" Three years ago, the Tang army quickly wiped out the Western Turks, and the Persians had not had time to react. At that time, they were also at war with the Romans, so they did not go north.

Now, after three years, the Persians are finally coming.

Niu Jin Dharma fists, he has long wanted to fight with the Persians.
