Chapter 169: King Ju watches the battle
A foot injury is trouble, many things are inconvenient to do, and if you accidentally touch the injured foot, it will hurt badly, and it will be very discordant overnight......
The first snow of the year has finally quietly stopped.
Because I tossed until late to sleep, and my foot was injured and I couldn't practice the five birds, so I rarely slept on the second day.
In addition to Cheng Chuliang, there is no habit of eating breakfast in the other mansions, seeing the sumptuous breakfast of the Marquis of Linchuan's mansion, Wang Xiang naturally has to entertain them, although Cheng Chuliang has eaten, but this does not prevent him from eating two more drawers of cabbage and mutton buns, Aunt Lin's task has suddenly increased a lot, but seeing so many young masters like to eat the mutton buns she makes, Aunt Lin does not feel troublesome at all.
Looking at a group of gobbling up the squirrel, Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and asked, "Why are you here, didn't I ask you to cooperate in training according to the method I said?" ”
Cheng Chuliang swallowed the cabbage and mutton bun in his hand and said, "I won't train today." ”
"Why is that?" Wang Xiang was very puzzled, when they left yesterday, they were still in high spirits, why didn't they train today.
Gao Zhenxing shook his head and said: "It's not that we don't want to train, it's just that we can't train today, the snow that fell yesterday has melted, and the training ground is full of mud and we can't train at all, so we discussed it and came over to find Zixin, and wanted to continue to hear from you about that...... The doorway of football. ”
Cheng Chuliang interjected: "Yes, after I went back yesterday, I told our old man about the football you mentioned, as well as what tactical rules and other things I said, and he said that the suggestions you made were very good." Today, he went to discuss with Uncle Qin and Uncle Li. Maybe this year's Keju Contest will be as you say. And the ball you said about improving Keju, and the old man asked people to try it. ”
"Uncle Cheng also knows how to juju?" Wang Xiang looked at Cheng Chuliang and remembered his mighty over-the-shoulder fall, it was really hard to believe that Cheng Yanjin knew how to juju, a civilized juju.
This time, there was no need for Cheng Chuliang to speak, someone had already spoken for him: "General Cheng is a master of juju, known as the king of Chang'an, even His Majesty is full of praise for General Cheng's juju skills, and he is a referee in the annual juju competition." ”
King Ju? Lao Cheng is so awesome?
Looking at Cheng Chuliang's triumphant appearance and the expressions of the gentlemen, it is not a lie to think that Lao Cheng's title as the king of Ju is not a lie, Lao Cheng was a good hand at eating, drinking and having fun when he was young, maybe he is really a master of juju.
After chatting for a while, Wang Xiang spoke: "Although Keju pays attention to tactics, it still relies on actual combat training after all. It's not enough to just talk on paper. ”
Cheng Chuliang said helplessly: "But the stadium is full of mud and I can't train at all." ”
"It's not that hard, I have a way."
"What's the solution?" These guys have long been eager to try after seeing Wang Xiang's performance yesterday.
"You go to the Gewu Academy to find Daochang Li and ask him to send someone to pull a few truckloads of cinders to your house...... Forget it, let's pull it to my village, the court in your house is too small, I'll get a piece of land in the village to build a court for you to train. ”
It is great to be able to build a stadium in the mansion, so when I heard Wang Xiang say that the stadium in his mansion, Xiao Cheng Chuliang did not feel embarrassed, and asked curiously: "What is cinder?" ”
"You don't understand, anyway, you just have to tell Daochang Li like this."
The reason why he thought of building a court in Zhuang Shang was to let the Ju Bang Brigade use it for training, and the second was that he thought of the group of black guards in Zhuang Shang, and the sport of Keju might be able to slowly change their personalities.
Gao Zhenxing asked, "Did Zixin also go to see us train?" ”
Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Go." As a coach, of course, you have to watch the players train. ”
Wang Xiang really didn't feel at ease if he didn't look at them, he was really heartbroken for the sake of the Ju Bang Brigade and this group of Juju hooligans. But it's still very cool to have a team of your own to coach the addiction.
Cheng Chuliang took people to the Gewu Courtyard to find Li Chunfeng to ask for cinders, and Wang Xiang and the others went to Zhuangshang to choose a place to build the stadium first.
As soon as the snow melted, the ground was suddenly muddy, even though Aqinu's driving skills were good, but Wang Xiang, the wounded, was still shutting up, but fortunately, Zhuangzi was not very far from Chang'an City.
Not long after picking a good place, Cheng Chuliang came over with the person who pulled cinders, and to Wang Xiang's surprise, Lao Cheng and Qin Qiong also came.
"Zixin, I heard that you are going to build a stadium to train the Keju team, I will come over with you Uncle Qin to take a look, are your feet okay?"
"Thank you Uncle Cheng for your concern, a little injury is not a big deal."
"Haha, your kid's body is too bad, and Keju can hurt his feet."
Wang Xiang touched his nose in embarrassment.
Qin Qiong opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that you asked him to pull these ...... Cinders from here? "He didn't know what cinders were, they looked like slag.
Wang Xiang explained: "The snow melts and the mud on the ground makes it impossible for the team to train, and these cinders absorb water and are non-slip, so laying on the ground will not affect the team's training." ”
"I see." Qin Qiong nodded.
Gewuyuan used a lot of coal mines to burn glass and forge blades, and all the burnt cinders were brought by Cheng Chuliang, several large cars, Wang Xiang asked people to spread the cinders evenly on the selected stadium and then step on them everywhere. After the three-inch-thick cinder was laid, the ground suddenly became dry and flat, and Cheng Chuliang stepped on the court twice and looked very satisfied.
The size of the stadium was built according to the size of the field where Keju was played, which was much smaller than the football field of later generations, and Wang Xiang did not intend to turn Keju into a football.
As soon as the court was paved, Lao Cheng shouted for Wang Xiang to start training, he and Qin Qiong came to see how he trained the team, and after Cheng Chuliang went back yesterday, he told Lao Cheng what Wang Xiang said about the skyrocketing, and Lao Cheng, the king of Chang'an, was stunned. Early this morning, Lao Cheng ran to Qin Qiong's mansion and said to Qin Qiong with oil and vinegar, and the two planned to come over together to have a look as soon as they discussed.
Every year, the vassal states of the Fanbang will go to Chang'an to meet Li Er, and at that time, Li Er will definitely show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to those Fanbang vassal states, and the sword will hurt and be angry, so Keju has become a way to show Tang Wei.
Since it is to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, it is natural that you can't lose the Keju competition with the subject countries of Fanbang, which is why the Chang'an Keju Competition is held every year.
It was a great honor to represent Datang at the Great Court, no wonder Cheng Chuliang cared so much about the first place in the Keju Competition.
No one dares to guarantee what will happen on the field, and a veteran like Lao Cheng can't play in person, otherwise he will be suspected of bullying. This year's Great Dynasty will also be attended by the Turks, and it is rumored that the Turkic Keju team is led by the first Turkic warrior Tulu who was redeemed, and the pressure is very high.
If Lao Cheng hadn't thought that Wang Xiang would have anything to do before, but now it's different, since the beginning of the Jinguang Lake Poetry Club, there seems to be nothing that Wang Xiang can't do, and the various tactics he talked to those gentlemen yesterday really sound like there is some truth.
Seeing that Cheng Chuliang and the others were ready, and Lao Cheng and Qin Qiong had no intention of leaving, Wang Xiang asked Cheng Chuliang and Gao Zhenxing to choose their own team and start training.
"Before I start, I emphasize again, it is not allowed to use sweeping legs and over-the-shoulder falls, nor are you allowed to pull people, hug people, remember that Keju is not a one-person exercise, pay attention to the cooperation between each other, do you understand?"
"Got it!"
Wang Xiang nodded with satisfaction, picked up the mallet that had been prepared a long time ago, and struck it on the trumpet gong next to him, and the first actual combat training began. (To be continued.) )
