Chapter 214: Mounted Archery (I)
"The warriors of Lou Fu are very good at riding and brave. In this battle, the widow lost. Zhao Yong moved forward, stood on the high platform, looked down at everyone, and announced loudly: "Bounty ten thousand." ”
When Zhao Guoqun's ministers heard this, they were full of grief and indignation.
In this battle, Zhao Guo lost, and he lost so completely.
All the hundred black-clothed guards led by Tu Yi himself were shot down by the Lou Fu warriors. Zhao Guo has always looked down on barbarians, but he lost to the barbarians. This is really the biggest joke in the world. However, the prince of Lou Fu and the warriors of Lou Fu were a different scene, they cheered in unison for the victory over the Zhao army and won ten thousand gold.
Lou Zhong saw that Zhao Jun's combat strength was so poor, and he did not treat Zhao Jun as respectfully as before. The grassland people all said that the Zhao clan could fight well, how to get it. Today's battle is nothing more than that. Lou Zhong stopped the cheers of the soldiers, walked towards Zhao Jun, and said in an arrogant and rude tone: "Zhao Jun, can you hold the next competition?" ”
Zhao Yong's weakness was to stimulate the anger in the hearts of the ministers and the countrymen, and stimulate their nerves, "Prince, how do you plan to compete." ”
Lou Zhong saw that Zhao Jun's riding skills were poor, and his archery skills would not be much better, so he said provocatively: "Zhao Jun, we might as well pick out fifty soldiers each, how about shooting." ”
Zhao Jun looked around and didn't answer.
Seeing this, Lou Chong mistakenly thought that Zhao Jun was timid and did not dare to fight, so he laughed loudly: "Zhao Jun, are you afraid?" It is said that the people of the Central Plains are timid, greedy for life and afraid of death. When I saw it today, it was really so! ”
Hearing Lou Chong's arrogant look, everyone was resentful, and they all wanted to teach the barbaric Lou annoying people a lesson.
Lou Zhong faced his soldiers, and deliberately shouted in Huaxia: "Are you willing to die for me?" ”
The warriors replied in unison, "Yes." ”
When Lou Chong heard this, he looked very satisfied, and said sarcastically: "Zhao Jun, have you seen it?" The warriors are willing to die for me. ”
Zhao Yong understood the second half of the sentence that the other party did not say, although he was angry in his heart, his face was still calm. The more humiliation he suffers today, the more he can inspire the fighting spirit of the Chinese people. Sure enough, when Zhao Chen saw that the king was humiliated, he took the initiative to ask for help and fight against Lou's annoying people.
Lou Chong was even more proud when he saw that Zhao Jun didn't speak, and forced: "Zhao Jun, only by shooting can you reflect the most realistic level of archery skills." A warrior is a true warrior only if he survives the battle. From childhood to adulthood, the steppe people used bows and arrows to shoot birds and animals, or captured slaves from enemy countries as targets for archery. After continuous tempering, he has developed the world's best archery. You Central Plains people practice archery, always facing the stake. Arrows are used to kill enemies, but they are used by you for fun. Could it be that you are at war with the enemy, and the enemy stands motionless for you to shoot? ”
Lou Furen listened and cheered in unison: "Long live Lou Furen." ”
Sima Wangzu shouted: "Don't be presumptuous. I'm here to see the annoying archery skills of the Teaching Building. ”
The soldiers of Zhao State also responded in unison, and they came out one after another, intending to compete with Lou Annoying. Minister Zhao sharply condemned Lou's annoying arrogance and rudeness.
Seeing this, Lou Chong not only did not restrain himself, but became even more distracted, "Zhao Jun, don't you have the guts?" ”
"The warriors of Lou are able to die for the prince. The Great Zhao soldiers can also die for the widow. The widow believes that soldiers should die fighting for their country, not innocently. Zhao Guo and Lou Fu are not enemies, and the widows do not want to see the blood of the soldiers of the two countries. The prince did not think that the widow was cowardly if he did not agree to the battle. Do not take the mercy of the widow for cowardice. The prince disregarded the lives of his soldiers and wanted them to be buried in a foreign land. Zhao Yong was not showing weakness, his eyes exuded a solemn murderous aura, "The widow is willing to accompany him." ”
"Do any of you want to fight against Lou Nuying."
The soldiers of Zhao State shouted in unison in response to Zhao Jun's call.
Lou Chong saw that Zhao Guo's soldiers made a thunderous voice, coupled with such a strong lineup, he was also a little timid in his heart. Now, Zhao Jun is angry and has a murderous face. If he continues to provoke Zhao Jun, he will die here. Lou Zhong swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, put away his arrogance, and hurriedly said, "I just made a joke." Please, Zhao Jun don't take it to heart. ”
"Prince, you can't joke nonsense." Zhao Yong exuded a powerful momentum, suppressed Lou Chong's arrogance, and asked, "The widow is serious, so what should I do." ”
Lou Chong saw that Zhao Jun didn't seem to be joking, and hurriedly said: "We grassland people love..."
Zhao Yong cut off: "This is Handan, Zhao Kingdom, not the prairie." You are guests, and when you come to Handan, you must abide by the customs of Zhao and abide by the laws of Zhao. Those who dare to offend Zhao will be destroyed. ”
The downstairs was shocked, it turned out that Zhao Jun was really not as weak as he imagined, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Jun, please forgive me for being rude just now." ”
Zhao Yong looked at him and replied, "This time, the widow will forgive you." If there's a next time..."
Lou Chong's face was full of horror, and he replied with a stiff expression: "Don't worry, Zhao Jun, there will be no next time." ”
Zhao Yongyang raised his hand and said: "Prince, how do we compare our shooting skills." ”
Lou Zhong said in a humble tone: "Please Zhao Jun take the idea." ”
Zhao Yong's eyes full of majesty stared at each other, "It's better for us to shoot." ”
Lou hurriedly said: "Zhao and my country are not enemies, how can they meet each other." ”
Zhao Yong nodded, was silent for a long time, and said: "We each select ten warriors, shoot the birds, and the one who shoots the most wins." ”
"It's all up to Zhao Jun."
"In that case, prince, the widow is in charge." Zhao Yong smiled, "The widow ordered someone to prepare a hundred birds, and the one that shot the most wins." If you win, the outnumbered lose you. ”
"Zhao Jun, I will win this ten thousand gold." After Lou Zhong finished speaking, he went to choose the warrior with the highest archery skills. Zhao Yong also ordered Lou to slowly select soldiers who were good at shooting. Half an hour later, the selected warriors gathered in the middle of the training ground, followed by the sound of drums. The drums stopped, the cages were opened, and flocks of birds flew into the sky. The soldiers of Zhao Guo and the warriors of Lou Fu reacted quickly, bending their bows and arrows to shoot at the birds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the birds in the sky fell to the ground.
After the arrows were fired, the soldiers of the two countries lined up and waited for the results.
Fei Yi commanded the man to step forward and pick up the birds that had fallen on the ground.
Zhao Yong saw Lou's annoying speed and accuracy of bending the bow and arrows, and he already knew that Zhao Guo had lost this competition. Sure enough, after Fei Yi counted the data, he replied: "The Lou Fu warrior hit fifty birds. ”
Lou Chong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay." ”
"Our soldiers were shot..."Fei Yi was reluctant to continue.
Lou Zhong asked, "How many did you shoot?" ”
Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Feiyi, say it!" The widow can afford to lose. ”
Fei Yi said heavily: "Eleven." ”
On average, each person shoots at least five arrows, and each person hits an average of five birds. However, the arrows shot by Zhao Guo were not less than those of Lou Fu, but the hit rate was far from the same. Getting this result, Zhao Yong took a slight breath of cool air.
The gap between Zhao Guo and Lou Fu is too big!
The ministers of Zhao also doubted this result, and the soldiers of Zhao Guo were obviously very good! How did you hit eleven birds?
Zhao Wen shouted: "Xiangbang, you are sure that you are not wrong. ”
Everyone also said in unison: "Xiangbang, you are counting again." ”
Zhao Yong also looked at him with hesitant eyes.
Fei Yi Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, the minister is sure that it is correct." ”
Lou Chonglang smiled: "Zhao Jun, I won this competition again." Thank you Zhao Jun for the gold. ”
Zhao Yong got up, stood on the high platform, and said loudly: "Lou Fu is superb in archery, widowed, and willing to bow down." Come and give ten thousand gold. ”
The Lou Fu Warriors cheered in celebration of the victory. Lou's annoying voice gave the ministers of Zhao State a resounding slap in the face, and it was like a sharp sword to add a knife to everyone.
Zhao Yong said to Lou Zhong: "Prince, the competition is over for the time being." Go down first and rest, and at night the widow will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”
Lou Zhong arched his hand and said, "Huh." ”
Zhao Yong led the ministers back to the hall, sat in their positions, and said nothing. Throughout the hall, the atmosphere was heavy. Whether it was riding or archery, Zhao Guo failed miserably in two competitions. For a while, many people could not accept this result. These people also know that according to Zhao Jun's personality, if he loses two games in a row and loses 20,000 gold, his mood will be terrible.
At this moment, whoever dares to speak is asking for unhappiness.
Zhao Yong saw that everyone lowered their heads, broke the silence and said: "Everyone, we have all lost the cavalry shooting, do you have nothing to say?" ”
Gongzi Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, Lou is annoying and good at riding and shooting." Mounted archery is our weakness. ”
Zhao Yong asked, "What the Great Sikou means is that we should lose." ”
Gongzi Cheng replied: "That's not what the minister meant. ”
"If you lose, you lose, where are the many excuses. Riding, we can't compare. Archery, we can't compare. It's true that Lou is annoying and good at riding and shooting. However, we lost completely! 100 people fought, our whole army was annihilated, and there were still 60 people on horseback. Ten people competed in archery, and Lou annoyed people shot fifty birds, how many of us shot. Today, we lost to Lou Annoying, or in this way, fiasco. You will not be ashamed. ”
The crowd knelt on the ground and shouted, "The ministers are incompetent. ”
"You don't usually say how barbaric the Hu people are? How to lag behind? Don't you despise the barbarians? ”
Tu Duwei knelt on the ground and pleaded guiltily: "The king is an incompetent minister, and he has insulted the national prestige. Please punish you. ”
"If we fight today, we will lose a hundred black-clothed guards, as well as one of our favorite generals. The widow's face is completely lost. Zhao Yong calmed down and asked, "Tu Duwei, you have fought with Lou Furen." If there are a thousand floors of annoying warriors, how many people will we need to win. ”
Tu Duwei said: "The minister doesn't dare to say. ”
"The widow asked you to speak."
"10,000 people."
When the crowd heard this, there was a commotion.
"You hear me! We have 10,000 people to deal with 1,000 people. There are 100,000 people who control the strings, how do we deal with it? The building is annoying, and we can't win. How to deal with the Zhongshan, Linhu, and Donghu people. How to fight against the princes of the Central Plains. Zhao Yong said in a low voice: "Lou annoys two wins and two games, and slapped the widow hard." I'm sorry for my ancestors! ”
The crowd pleaded guilty: "The ministers are incompetent and can't share the worries of the king." ”
"You look down on the Hu people, you look down on the cavalry. You feel that you are omnipotent, and you are not willing to learn from the Hu people. Now we are defeated by the Hu people. Do you still dare to boast about it? Zhao Yong reprimanded: "The widow feels ashamed of the country!" ”
Gongsun Yang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. ”
"You say."
"Please severely punish the Tu Du Lieutenant and the black-clothed order, and fiercely punish the three armies. If the king does not dispose of them, it is difficult to take warning. ”
Zhao Yong asked, "Do you all mean this?" ”
A few more people came out and agreed with Gongsun Yang's opinion.
Tu Duwei pleaded guilty and said, "The minister pleaded guilty. ”
Zhao Yongxin said: "Tu Duwei, you confessed your guilt quite quickly. ”
Gongsun Yang urged: "Please give an order." ”
"You don't want to be ashamed of the country, you only know how to shirk responsibility and belittle your colleagues. Tu Duwei single-handedly shot down twenty-five buildings annoying, can't you see? What use does the widow want from you? Come on, drag them down, expel them from Handan, and never hire them. ”
Several ministers shouted, "Your Majesty..."
"Hold on." Zhao Yong said coldly: "Handan's atmosphere has deteriorated to this extent. It's time for the widow to get things in order. Today's building is annoying, and the widow is humiliated, and the widow should return it. Ladies and gentlemen, what can you do to vent the hatred of the widows? ”
Everyone said: "Minister, incompetent." ”
"Riding and shooting is something that the Hu people are proud of, and the widow defeats them in the way of the Hu people and makes him submit." Zhao Yong shouted: "The widow decided to ride and shoot a strong country, and dared to stop those who did not follow... Kill. ”
