Chapter 16: The Letters from the King
Hu Hai asked Tian Ren to make a football that is very special, after all, it is impossible to make a perfect football like later generations. But this football took a lot of effort from Hu Hai and Tian Ren before it was finally finalized.
The surface of the ball is directly wrapped and sewn by three layers of cowhide or sheepskin, but the inside is completely woven into a hollow ball with thin small bamboo strips, and the bamboo ball has bamboo strips inside to share the impact of being kicked.
The hollow part in the middle is filled with some fine wool and the like, which can be said to be perfect.
Wang Qian and Du Teng had a tacit understanding this time, and selected five generals in the forbidden army and the prisoner army respectively to form their own football team.
Seeing the people they had chosen, Hu Hai nodded quietly. If Wang Qian only picks the generals of the forbidden army, and Du Teng only picks the generals of the new army, then Hu Hai is ready to directly let him get out of the way.
Hu Hai waved his hand, and twelve dragon guards who had been trained in the rules ran around the football field with special small flags, plus four corners, exactly four people on one side.
Looking at the twenty-two generals who had taken off their armor and were only wearing strong suits, Hu Hai suddenly remembered that there was no jersey. Hu Hai had an idea, asked Ying Yi to take ink, and wrote eleven Arabic numerals from 1 to 11 on everyone's chest and back.
Then Hu Hai ignored the surprised eyes of Wei Yi and the others, took two kinds of black and red cloth strips, and asked each team to tie a black or red cloth strip and said: "Okay, now Wang Qian is the black team, and Du Teng is the red team." Listen to the drums start, three quarters of an hour in the first half, the captain in the middle can call a quarter-hour stop, and the same is true in the second half. ”
"Your Majesty, dare to ask what this writing is?" Wei Yi endured it for a long time, but still pointed to the huge black numbers on the front chest and back of Wang Qian and the others and asked.
"Oh, this one, this is a number, one to ten numbers, and this one is eleven. Isn't it convenient? Okay, okay, don't ask about this, when the game is over, I'll tell Lao Aiqing about the number, and start the game now. ”
"Whoa!"
At this moment, a dragon guard came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li Niangniang is asking to see you outside the camp." ”
"Concubine Li? What is she doing again? Go and let her go back, saying that I have political affairs to do. Hu Hai said impatiently, and said to Wang Qian and Du Teng, who were still stunned: "Come and draw lots, draw the kick-off of the short branch." ”
This is the second time that Concubine Li came to the camp after Hu Hai came to the camp for seven days, and the first time was the day after Hu Hai arrived at the camp in Bashang, Concubine Li came with her, and was coaxed and tricked by Hu Hai to get it back.
As soon as Concubine Li left, Hu Hai left Concubine Li behind as soon as he turned around, but he didn't expect Concubine Li to come again today.
The exposed part of the two branches in Hu Hai's hand was the same length, and Du Teng was lucky, and the short one was drawn, and the red team kicked off.
Seeing that the black and red teams had already entered, Hu Hai turned around and prepared to go to the drum to start the game in person, and when he turned around and saw that the guard who had just come to report had not left, Hu Hai said: "Didn't I say that I have political affairs to be busy now, let her go back?" Why don't you go yet? ”
"Your Majesty, Xiao Eighty said that Concubine Li lost her temper outside the big camp, and she must see Your Majesty, and the soldiers guarding the big camp don't dare to stop it." Win Yi hurriedly explained for this Long Wei named Long Eighty.
"Presumptuous! Win one and you go, and escort her back to the dormitory for me to be grounded. From now on, it is not allowed to leave the palace for half a step. Hu Hai heard that Concubine Li had lost her temper with the sentry at the gate of the camp, and her eyebrows jumped angrily.
"This ...... Your Majesty......" Ying Yi hesitated, everyone knew that Concubine Li was Hu Hai's favorite concubine.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Hu Hai interrupted Win One's words.
"Your Majesty obeys!" Win one hurriedly answered.
"Knock Knock"
didn't bother to win one, Hu Hai turned around and beat the drum in front of him.
The black and red teams, which had been preparing for a long time, suddenly fought fiercely, and yellow smoke suddenly billowed on the simple football field.
……
When Ying Yi rushed back with an emergency military situation from Wang Li's place in Chen County, Hu Hai was facing two temporary general-level football teams lined up on the side of the football field, dejected, with a blue nose and swollen nose.
Wei Yi and Zhang Han were far away from each other, shrugging their shoulders and obviously snickering. The remaining 600 or so generals at all levels did not dare to run to the side like him and the two of them, so they had to stand together and watch Wang Qian and the other 22 people being scolded, but the snodenfreude and snickering laughter still came out from time to time.
The group of generals who did not choose Wang Qian and Du Teng at the beginning, so that they had less opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor, are now extremely happy in their hearts. If they really chose themselves, they would be the ones who would be scolded now with a blue nose and swollen face.
"What do you say I should say about you, Wang Qian? You're the captain, do you know what a captain is? Will you line up your troops? What kind of formation do you put your squad in? A swarm rushes up, it's kicking, not grabbing. Stupid! ”
Hu Hai crossed his waist with one hand, pointed at Wang Gan's nose and scolded. Wang Gan drooped his head, the right half of his eye was bruised, red and swollen, and he was completely a one-eyed panda.
"Du Teng, what are you laughing at, you are also a pig. You kick off, you don't take your people to attack his goal, what do you do with Wang Qian? Don't laugh, I can see very clearly, Wang Gan's panda eyes were attacked by you. Insidious! You deserve a punch in your left eye! ”
Hu Hai pointed to Du Teng, who covered his mouth with blue and purple circles on the left side of his eyes, and said mercilessly, and immediately made Du Teng's face red, and then he knew that his eyes were beaten by Wang Gan, and Wang Gan also knew that he was beaten by Du Teng at this time.
The two of them, who were still glaring angrily, saw each other's miserable and ridiculous appearance, and immediately laughed at each other's enmity.
"You, that's you, don't look at it, it's you number eight. You're red, you're not black, is it still a sense of accomplishment for you to deliver the ball to your own goal? Are you all pigs too? He sent the ball into his own goal for someone else, and you still cheered? ”
……
In the end, Hu Hai couldn't say anything anymore, looking at the pitiful appearance of a group of ragged senior generals in front of him, Hu Hai finally couldn't help laughing.
It's no wonder that Hu Hai was angry, the game that was terminated because of a group fight in less than a few minutes just started can be said to have staged all the funny scenes that can be staged on the football field.
Pulling people, kicking people, playing black hands, crossing the line, grabbing the ball with their hands, own goals, etc., etc., until finally it evolved into more than 20 generals at all levels of the two teams of all-martial arts fighting on the football field.
Everything started at the moment when the drum sounded, and things developed so fast that Hu Hai and the surrounding Long Wei who acted as deputy referees didn't have time to react at all, and then these more than 20 people scuffled together.
Hu Hai smiled, Wei Yi and Zhang Han, who were hiding far away, suddenly laughed, and the other more than 600 generals who did not play also laughed. The two teams who were still glaring angrily looked at each other and laughed embarrassedly.
Confused, Ying Yi quietly slipped to Hu Hai's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, Wang Li's urgent military situation!" ”
