Chapter 093: Compete to win land
In essence, the Tang people are a bit arrogant and domineering, as for whether they can be domineering, it depends on the actual situation. But as long as there is enough capital to do it, no one will hide it, and they can't wait to walk sideways, so that everyone can see their majesty.
Mrs. Qiu Guo is a typical example of this.
Under her influence, the Yang family is a bit domineering from top to bottom who hates narrow roads when they walk, and hates the sky when they climb trees. Cui Zhao'er, as the hope of the future of the Cui family, is even more deeply aware of it, and Li Zaixing didn't take much effort to provoke her to fight.
Mrs. Qiu Guo didn't want to conflict with Yang Wei and his wife, after all, Princess Xianyi was the biological daughter of the Son of Heaven, and it was not easy to make trouble in front of the Son of Heaven. But Li Zaixing wants to compete to win land, and those are two different things. This is not a forcible seizure, but a contest, a gambling fight.
Unfortunately, these two are things that Datang people like to do. The Tang Dynasty people are still martial, and it is common for them to compete in martial arts, and it is not uncommon for them to draw swords and cut each other on the street. The Tang Dynasty people are better gamblers, and it is not only the poet immortal Li Bai who believes that his daughter has gone away and returned. If you are bullied to the door and don't dare to fight, then you really have to cover your face with your sleeves when you go out in the future.
It is better to lose a blue nose and swollen eyes than to lose face; I'd rather be beaten to the point than be a coward.
This is the nature of the Tang people.
Therefore, Mrs. Qiu Guo readily provided a bet: 100,000 yuan, a price that is enough to attract people's attention, but is not in Mrs. Qiu's consideration. In other words, if Yang Wei is willing to move, she can give away the 100,000 yuan. For her, 100,000 yuan for the right to use this land for one day is worth it!
Mrs. Yu Guo thought so, and Yang Wei also thought so.
When he heard that Li Zaixing, Pei Xuanqing and others came to the door and wanted to compete to seize the land, he immediately turned blue with anger and scolded.
"The village man is a fool, dare to deceive me?"
Princess Xianyi was also so angry that her face was flushed, she had been tolerating to avoid direct conflict with Li Zaixing, she didn't think about it or didn't hide, Li Zaixing was under the banner of the Yang family's brothers and sisters, and the open fire bullied the door.
The couple didn't want to have a conflict with Li Zaixing, but they just didn't want to give Li Zaixing a chance to kill people in close quarters. This kind of gambling does not need Yang Wei to come forward himself, of course he will not refuse. Mrs. Qiu Guo has money, am I short of money? 100,000 yuan wanted me to move, but there was no door.
Without much nonsense, the two sides rose up. Yang Wei sent ten generals to fight against Li Zaixing and others. No matter how good Li Zaixing's martial arts are, he can only guarantee to win one game, and cannot fundamentally affect the outcome of the competition.
Of course, Li Zaixing can't give Yang Wei such a chance, he has a package ticket in front of Mrs. Qiuguo, he must win, how can there be an accident. Mrs. Qiu Guo may not care about the 100,000 yuan, but she definitely cares about face. Let her lose face, how can she be worthy of the pair of dragon guns in her hand, and how can she continue to implement her plan?
Li Zaixing proposed: team battles.
The one-on-one contest is not interesting, if you want to play, you can play a big one, ten people together, not only to compete in individual martial arts, but also to compete with each other, and to determine the winner in a battle.
Li Zaixing's suggestion does not violate the regulations, and team battles are also a relatively common way of competition. If the one-on-one competition is an individual competition, then the team battle is a team competition, a bit like team sports such as polo, keju and other team sports, which are more exciting, of course, more exciting and more popular.
Yang Wei did not refuse, but he decided to change a few people. He called Bai Xiaode, who was ordered by Li Linfu to protect him, and three other people in white: "Li Xiang sent you to protect me, now, you can protect my face first, right?" ”
Bai Xiaode frowned, and arched his hand: "Donkey, we are shadows, showing up like this, Li Xiang's plan ......"
Yang Xun sneered and interrupted Bai Xiaode: "Li Xiang's purpose is to kill Li Zaixing, now that there is such a good opportunity in front of you, are you willing to give up?" If you kill Li Zaixing because of this, wouldn't it solve Li Xiang's big trouble. ”
Yang Xun glanced at Bai Xiaode and the four of them with a sneering gaze: "You can't be unconfident, right?" ”
When Bai Xiaode heard this, he looked at each other, and he also felt reasonable, and immediately put on a battle and replaced the four generals of the Yang family.
Seeing Bai Xiaode and the four of them coming out of the battle, Pei Xuanqing, who was originally relatively sure, suddenly became a little nervous, and several rangers under him were also a little worried. Although they are not top masters, they still have knowledge, Bai Xiaode and the four of them are not ordinary people at first glance, they have a temperament that ordinary people do not have, and they know that they are not Tang people when they look at their appearance, they are all Hu people.
The Tang people are not afraid of the Hu people, but they have to admit that in terms of personal martial arts, the riding skills of the Hu people are higher than those of the Tang people as a whole.
Pei Xuanqing looked at Li Zaixing: "Da Lang, we ......"
"It doesn't matter." Li Zaixing said confidently: "You are the strongest foot soldier, I am the strongest cavalry, we can run rampant in the world with our foot and cavalry, why are you afraid of just four Hu people?" If you're worried, change to Al Maddie. She's battle-hardened......"
"Da Lang, are you scolding me?" Pei Xuanqing's face flushed, spit into his palm, clenched the iron whip in his hand, and scolded: "If you fight with them, even if you hang the lottery, it's better than being scolded by your wife." I, Pei Twenty-two, am not a coward who escaped. ”
"Haha......" Li Zaixing laughed, stretched out his hand and beckoned, motioning for Al Maddy to hand over the dragon spear. Al Maidi reminded worriedly: "Master, these four people are not idlers. ”
"yes, I see." Li Zaixing nodded: "You are behind me, ready to answer." ”
"Good!" Without saying a word, Al Maddy took his mount and turned over on his horse.
Li Zaixing flattened the gun and smiled at Bai Xiaode and the four of them: "It's really a blessing to be able to play against the four." ”
Bai Xiaode and the others smiled bitterly, their task was originally to join forces to ambush Yang Hui when Li Zaixing assassinated him, but they didn't expect to be taken to the Ming by Yang Huan. As soon as they saw Li Zaixing's smiling face, they knew that the errand was messed up. Seeing the four of them appear in the Yang family's camp, Li Zaixing would definitely cancel the operation. He said that Sansheng was lucky, but in fact, it should be a fluke to be more accurate.
They guessed correctly, Li Zaixing felt this way. If it weren't for this accident, without knowing Bai Xiaode and others, he acted rashly, even if he could get out of the way, he would not be able to hide his identity, and the consequences would be unimaginable. In an instant, he had an idea, and although he didn't know if it would work, he decided to give it a try.
The two sides agreed on the rules of the competition, in particular the exemption agreement regarding accidental casualties. Both sides know that it is impossible to see blood in this contest, and they should make it clear in advance to avoid trouble.
The two sides separated two hundred paces, Li Zaixing raised the spear in his hand, pointed at the other party, held the gun in both hands, and shouted: "Twenty-two Lang, are you ready?" ”
"Ready." Pei Xuanqing raised the iron whip in his hand, struck the shield hard, and roared loudly.
"Attack!"
"Whoa!" Pei Xuanqing began to run. He leaned sideways, his shield in front of him, and the iron whip dragged behind him, cutting a furrow in the ground and gathering dust.
Four rangers armed with swords and shields guarded his sides, and roared in unison: "Kill—"
Li Zaixing crouched down, and saw Pei Xuanqing running fifty or sixty steps, so he gently pinched the horse's belly, and Teller raised the chief to hiss and chased after Pei Xuanqing.
Al Maddie and three other rangers followed.
This is the classic formation of Datang infantry and cavalry with rushing formation.
On the other side, Bai Xiaode and others also began to charge, they did not use the infantry and cavalry of Li Zaixing and others to cooperate with the formation, but adopted the common formation of the Hu cavalry charge, Bai Xiaode four horses in front, and the Yang family followed closely behind the six horses. The ten horsemen rolled up a wild storm and stepped through the thunder.
When the two sides separated, the people watching the excitement held their breath and quietly waited for the battle to begin. Everyone knows that today's gambling battle is a vicious battle, the strength of the two sides is equal, the victory is between five and five, and any negligence may determine the victory or defeat, or even life and death.
When Pei Xuanqing and the others started running, when the sound of Bai Xiaode and the others' horses' hooves hit the earth, everyone raised their hearts to their throats. They were even worried about Li Zaixing, because Bai Xiaode and others used the most commonly used charging tactics of the grassland cavalry, and they were not inferior at all in terms of Datang's infantry and cavalry matching formation, and even had a slight advantage.
In small team battles, the impact of individual martial arts is inherently more significant than when fighting in large regiments, not to mention that the four of Bai Xiaode are warriors at first glance. When they saw their heroic posture galloping on horseback, everyone pinched a cold sweat for Pei Xuanqing, who rushed to the front.
Li Linfu frowned, his face was gloomy, and he almost gritted his teeth when he looked at Li Zaixing, Bai Xiaode and others who were getting closer and closer.
He didn't expect this accident to happen, and he didn't expect Yang Wei to be so stupid and actually put the dark chess in the light. He regretted it and was even more worried. He didn't know if the news had leaked, Li Zaixing got the news, so he took the initiative to invite him to fight.
The two sides have already begun to charge, and it is too late for him to stop it, the arrow is on the string, and presumably Yang Wei will not back down.
Yang Xun's stupidity disrupted his entire plan.
On the Furong Tower in the distance, the Son of Heaven and Yang Guifei looked at the crowd five hundred steps away. The crown prince Li Heng stood behind the Son of Heaven, arching his hands, calm as water.
A young eunuch hurriedly walked up and whispered a few words in Collis's ear. Gao Lishi frowned, walked behind the Son of Heaven, and told the news he had just received. The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows: "Hu cavalry charging formation? These four people are all Hu people? ”
"Judging by the appearance, it should be Ansihu."
The Son of Heaven's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything. Colliers took a step back, passed past the prince, and stood silently in the corner. The corners of Prince Li Heng's mouth were raised, and a smile flashed.
Yang Guifei said softly: "Your Majesty, one is the infantry and cavalry cooperation commonly used by my Tang Dynasty, and the other is the cavalry charge commonly used by Hu cavalry, who has a better chance of winning?" ”
The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment and muttered: "If it is a large army battle, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are equal. Now this situation ......"
Yang Guifei's eyes were like water, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has confidence in Li Zaixing, if Your Majesty is willing to gamble, the concubine will buy him to win." ”
