Chapter 172: A game without suspense
After learning that the odds of winning the Ju Bang team were 1 to 10, Wang Xiang smiled and asked Aqinu to take a silver ingot of fifty taels to bet.
Fifty taels is nothing to Wang Xiang, it's just a matter of interest.
After Lao Cheng's passionate speech, the twelve Keju teams boarded the Keju field with high spirits.
According to the old rules, the captain of each team will draw lots, one to twelve lots, the team that draws the No. 1 lottery will play against the team that drew the No. 12 lot, the team that drew the No. 2 lottery will play against the team that drew the No. 11 lot, and so on, respectively, to determine the top six teams.
The top six teams will then be judged in the same way, and only the top three teams will be really valued, and the rest of the teams will have to leave the field in disgrace.
The top three teams will play two games against each other, and the points system will be used to select the first place in the Keju competition, the second place and the third place, lose a point of zero, draw a point of one, win a point of two, this point method was also proposed by Wang Xiang and was adopted by Lao Cheng.
The captain of the Ju Bang Brigade is Cheng Chuliang, although Wang Xiang is more optimistic about Gao Zhenxing, and in previous years, the Ju Bang Brigade was also Gao Zhenxing as the captain, but this year is the first time that Cheng Chuliang has personally played the game, and he can't resist this soft and hard grinding, so he has to be the captain, but it has been explained in advance, although he is made the captain, he still has to listen to the command of Wang Xiang and Gao Zhenxing on the field.
The process of drawing lots is very simple, Cheng Chuliang drew the No. 4 lot, and the battle against the mighty team that drew the No. 9 lot, the opponent is not very strong, Cheng Chuliang was excited but didn't find that the mighty team was more excited than him......
There is no time for the knockout round, and the first three goals are the winners, and today is the first day of the Keju competition, and only three games will be played, which means that the Juju team does not have to play today.
After Cheng Chuliang drew lots, he ran to sit down next to Wang Xiang. Under the dissatisfied gaze of little Lori, I picked up the snack and ate it.
"It's a shame that I can't play today."
Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, it is also a good thing to watch the games of other teams first today." ”
Cheng Chuliang shook his head when he heard this: "Fang Er's winning team drew the No. 11 lottery, and the national protection team drew the No. 3 lottery, but their opponent's strength is not good, and there is nothing to look at." ”
In his eyes, except for the winning teams that occupied the top three in previous years, the other teams of the Vanguard and the Protector Team are nothing. I really don't know where he got his sense of superiority as the captain of the perennial bottom bow explosion team......
After the team was allocated, the first game officially began, and the two teams on the field were both "no" teams in Cheng Chuliang's eyes.
After a chaotic battle, the final result was 3-2, and the team that drew the No. 1 lottery narrowly won a game, but the process of the game was indeed as Cheng Chuliang said, "nothing to see", the two teams completely relied on the players' personal skills, and there were no tactics in the mess.
However, in Wang Xiang's eyes, the chaotic game also attracted the cheers of the surrounding people, perhaps this is the charm of Keju. No matter how the process is, the moment you score is exciting.
Lao Cheng and the others in the stands were obviously not very satisfied with this game, but just nodded slightly.
The second game is the winning team led by Fang Yiai against the team that drew the second lot, the winning team just came on the field and cheered like a tide of cheers, Wang Xiang glanced at the winning team, the players were full of energy, wearing the same style of red jersey with a look of confidence and pride.
Fang Yiai did not play in person, but calmly sat on one side to play the role of conductor, looking at his gentle and elegant appearance, it was difficult for Wang Xiang to connect him with the Fang Yiai that he knew about in history.
The historical Fang Yiai he knows is a super gentleman who "courtesies his son-in-law" and seeks to win his brother's title. married the pampered Princess Gaoyang, and was later killed by Li Zhi because of rebellion. Wang Xiang tried hard to recall, Gao Yang seemed to be an eight-year-old girl at this time.
History will always be a little different from reality, so Wang Xiang only felt a little curious and quietly watched the game on the field.
There was not the slightest suspense in this game. Although the winning team did not show any wonderful tactics, but the players cooperated with each other, acted as one, and won 3-0 very easily.
Cheng Yanjin, who was in the stands, looked at the performance of the winning team and sighed: "Although Lao Fang is not a martial artist, he has a good way of governing the army, and I have to obey Lao Cheng." ”
Li Jing nodded and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this year's Keju competition is another winning team." ”
"Not necessarily."
Qin Qiong. Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji said in unison, and after finishing speaking, the three of them looked at each other suspiciously, Li Jing looked at their expressions, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face, it seems that this year's Keju Contest is very interesting.
Only Wei Chi Jingde was sullen, don't look at Lao Cheng's usual grin, I think he is really a tendon. How can he be called the Demon King of the Mixed World be a simple character, but Yu Chi Jingde, who is called Yu Chi Dasha, is really honest, no wonder Li Er let him stay outside the door when he sleeps, so Yu Chi Jingde and Tie Dan are the same kind of people.
Although Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin discussed with Li Jing and them things such as improving the Keju ball, cinder paving, and some Keju rules, they were not willing to reveal the classic tactics that Wang Xiang said.
At the end of the second game, it was already noon, and the hawker business suddenly improved, Wang Xiang and the others did not go back to eat, and Degui directly asked people to bring hot meals.
After eating and a while later, today's last game began, and the result of the game was naturally no suspense, the same 3-0, even Wang Xiang said that the tactics did not use the national team to win easily, so that the only one of the three strong teams did not play was the vanguard led by Hou Dingyuan.
However, looking at Hou Junji's appearance, he seems to have a lot of confidence in the vanguard.
As one of the first old men to follow Li Er, Hou Junji was not reconciled to the status quo, whether it was Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin or Wei Chi Jingde, each of them was more prestigious than him and higher than his status, how could he be willing to be arrogant.
Now Li Jing rarely commands troops because of avoiding suspicion, and Qin Qiong is too old to lead the troops because of the injuries left by the battle when he was young, and the remaining Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde may be able to compete with themselves in terms of bravery, but compared to the ability to lead the troops to fight, Hou Junji is far better than the two of them.
However, there have been fewer wars in the world recently, and it is not easy for Hou Junji to make military merits again, and it was originally an opportunity to go to Gaochang, but by mistake, Cheng Biting Jin picked up a bargain, and the credit of defeating the Turkic army of 300,000 made Cheng Biting Jin go, and Hou Junji was naturally unhappy.
The Keju Contest and the Grand Tournament are also considered an opportunity, and the vanguard is full of his cronies, and if he can win, he will definitely strengthen his power in the army. (To be continued.) )
