Chapter 107 Polo Match
A ball was kicked down, the eldest grandson run and a few Nanya guards were as tired as their grandsons, squatting there panting like asthma, although several people tried their best, the impatience and strength disparity was too great, and after a game, they lost eight goals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Several people originally wanted to stumble on An He by using yin tricks on the court, but unfortunately they didn't even hurt a single hair of An He.
Changsun Run was very depressed, looked at An He, who was still playing with his feet, and hated the root of his teeth, and thought hatefully:
Don't be too complacent, you kid, sooner or later you will fall into my hands.
In the process of playing football just now, Xue Rengui saw that An He not only had a skillful ball skill, but also a good kung fu.
Just by virtue of the volley just now, if there is no corresponding kung fu to back it up, let alone score a goal, you may not even be able to grasp the center of gravity, and you will fall to the ground on all fours.
If Xue Rengui hadn't seen An He wearing a five-grade official uniform, he would have wanted to get him to his own guards.
Xue Rengui is now the right leader of the army to guard the Xuanwu Gate, you must know that the Xuanwu Gate is an important passage into the palace city, has been guarded by heavy troops, since Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate coup, this place has become an important and sensitive place.
Li Shimin only ascended to the throne of the emperor after the coup d'Γ©tat of Xuanwumen, and of course he understands the importance of guarding Xuanwumen.
In Li Shimin's heart, the guards of the Xuanwu Gate must be brave and unstoppable, and the second is to be absolutely loyal to himself, so he has been looking for suitable candidates to guard the Xuanwu Gate.
Once, in a battle against Goryeo, among thousands of troops, a bright white robe came into Li Shimin's eyes.
It was a young warrior. All of them were dressed in armor, but he was the only one in a white robe.
I saw him holding a halberd and a quiver on his waist, galloping across the battlefield, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land.
Li Shimin was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked who this person was.
However, no one knew this white-robed warrior.
After the battle, Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to bring the white-robed warrior to him.
This person is Xue Rengui, a legendary Tang Dynasty general who is famous in later generations.
However, at this time, he was just an ordinary soldier who had just joined the army, and this was the first time he had stepped onto the battlefield to show his skills.
Xue Rengui was brave and brave, and in order to create a miraculous feat, he deliberately wore a white robe instead of armor, hoping to attract the attention of high-ranking generals. But he definitely didn't expect that the first person to notice him was actually the Tang Emperor Li Shimin!
After Li Shimin inquired a little about his background, he greatly praised him, and immediately gave him two war horses and forty silks, and promoted him to the rank of guerrilla general.
After the end of the Goryeo War, Li Shimin said to Xue Rengui with emotion on the way to withdraw his troops:
"All my generals are old, and those who think of the new and brave will be like them, and there are no ones like Qing; I don't like Liaodong, I like Qing! β
After returning to the dynasty, Li Shimin began to let Xue Rengui guard the Xuanwu Gate until today.
Of course, everyone in the court knows the importance of Xuanwu Gate, and Xue Rengui has been in charge of Xuanwu Gate for a long time, seeing how much he is trusted by the emperor.
Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China, including the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Xingcheng and other old ministers, were quite polite to him, not to mention the guards of the eldest grandson run.
Although Changsun Run lost, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Xue Rengui, he nodded and walked forward, praising Xue Rengui's skill:
"The general and the little brother's ball skills just now, I think there is no one else in our entire Datang, I admire it very much, it's too early, why don't we play polo again?"
Changsun Run knows that Xue Rengui's polo is also unique in the world, and he is also a well-known figure in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Changsun Run is a playboy, usually has nothing to do, he knows how to eat, drink and have fun, he himself has built a polo field and a foot court, usually with a few guards when there is nothing to do on the field to have fun, but also practiced a superb polo skills.
I lost in the ball just now, so I want to save face in the polo and teach An He a lesson by the way.
Xue Rengui didn't think about it so much, he was a military general, he often galloped on the battlefield, and he had more days on the horse than on the ground, and when he heard that Gongsun Run was looking for him to play polo, of course he was very happy, and looked at the polo field just now, it turned out that the two teams of people were resting there, and it happened that the polo field was vacated, so he agreed and let his guards go to Xuanwu Gate to lead the horse.
The eldest grandson turned his head again and said to An He:
This little brother, your polo is so superb, presumably the skill of bowing is also extraordinary, I want to learn your skills, how about it? β
An He smiled: "I'm ashamed, I don't know how to ride a horse, and I don't know how to bow." β
Gongsun Run looked up to the sky and snorted, but there was no smile on his face, and he said coldly:
"There are a few men in the Tang Dynasty who can bow but can't bow, manly husbands, if they are too modest, that is hypocrisy."
An He doesn't care about winning or losing, just playing with each other, and although he has played similar golf in later generations, he has never played polo, although he has also ridden a horse, but his equestrian skills are still at the level of half a bottle of water, and he can't get on the table at all.
But after looking at the disdainful look of the eldest grandson, he smiled in his heart, and responded with a good temper:
"I really don't know how to bow down, but ...... Since Brother Tai asks for this, let's try it in the next place. β
Xue Rengui listened to their conversation, and after the man walked away, he immediately approached An He and comforted:
"You don't have to worry, this is not a one-on-one challenge, we only have five people on the field, although you are not good at bowing, you are not in the way, you just have to ride on the horse and make a show, winning or losing has nothing to do with you."
The bow began.
The goal of the bow is divided into two kinds of single door and double goal, the single goal is to open a small hole of one foot square under the wooden wall, there is a net bag behind the hole, and the winner is calculated by the number of goals scored by each team, the general woman is good to make the single goal, because the amount of movement of the single goal is small, and the playing method of the double goal is similar to that of modern times, and the goal of each side stands a goal more than one foot high, and the ball hits the opponent's goal to win.
The ball used for the bow is bright red and the size of a fist, and it is made of hardwood, and the stick is a long cane with a half-moon at the tip.
An He also took a club, turned over a horse, Changsun Run stood on the middle line with the ball, held the red ball high in his hand, looked at both sides, and suddenly threw it upward, the red ball rose first and then fell, falling to the ground.
"Drink!"
Before the red ball landed, Xue Rengui and one of the opponent's players shouted, and both of them rushed forward on horseback, and the Quarter Moon Wooden Staff in their hands hit the vermilion ball at the same time with a "whirl......
An He had never touched polo, let alone ridden a horse, so when he arrived on the field, he took up the decorations, stopped the horse, did not move, and looked lively.
The main force of the bow is Xue Rengui and Fang Gui who love them, but the other party also sees that he is the weakest link, and at the same time, he has the intention to make him ugly, so with the advantage of a large number of people, he looks at others very closely, and uses the method of people staring at people, or even two people staring at one person, only exposing a gap in one direction of Anhe, forcing them to pass the ball to Anhe.
Xue Rengui and others heard An He say that he didn't know how to play at all, how could he pass the ball to him, so that he lost the ball again and again, and every time he lost a goal, the two sides exchanged venues and fought again, no matter how he changed, An He didn't have to move, because he was simply riding a horse and standing on the middle line.
The level of Changsun Run's team is significantly higher than that of Keju, and they are all superb in equestrianism, and they are flexible and comfortable on the field.
After a few rounds, the score of the two sides has become five to one, and Xue Rengui's team is behind by a big score.
Xue Rengui also became impatient, when he got the ball again, slapped the horse and rushed straight to the opponent's goal, but was intercepted by four opponents, he had no choice but to give it a try and pass the ball to An He.
