Chapter Twenty-Eight

The soldiers agreed in unison, but they all looked listless, and followed Yusuke and Yuren to the east of the city.

Li Qin didn't follow too closely, he fell behind, he grabbed Meng Mu, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Meng, although the military rations are less, it is better than not giving them at all, why does everyone seem to be so uninterested, and have no energy at all?" ”

Meng Mu snorted and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there was one meal at noon and one meal at night, the brothers would have received three days' worth of food and gone back to their respective homes." It is said that it is a test to juju, but the victory or defeat is determined early, what is there to compare it to? ”

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, and thought: "No, there has been match-fixing this year?" There was no need for Meng Mu to explain, he thought about it and knew who would win.

Tang Biao has just become the head of the tun, so he naturally wants to win over his subordinates, to put it bluntly, he is a scoundrel, he must have threatened other tuns in advance, and he wants to let him be the first, others dare not offend him, so he can only agree. And Tang Wei is Tang Ren's son, so this tun naturally has to be second. It's just that Meng Mu and Yao Xiu suffered from the two tuns, and they were soldiers for a year, and they could only receive three days of rations.

The four tun chiefs distribute the benefits, as many as they want, but the bitter ones are the soldiers below, and Li Qin happens to be from Meng Mu's tun, which means that he can only get three days of rations! Wouldn't his limelight be in vain?

Meng Mu said: "Li Lang, you just enlisted in the army, and you don't understand some things, so you can bear with it." How else could it be? Be careful that the Tang family gives you small shoes to wear! ”

Li Qin heaved and said, "I don't wear small shoes, it's a big deal not to wear shoes." We are barefoot, are we afraid that they will not be able to wear shoes? ”

Meng Muha smiled and said, "What I said is right. "I have a total in my heart, otherwise I won't let it, just try two games, get the food first, and then the future...... We'll talk about it later!

Shen Yi, who was behind Li Qin, heard their conversation, and couldn't bear it, and said, "I'd rather be whipped than speak." What's long, why bear it? ”

Li Qin turned around and said: "It's not time to practice now, you can just say it if you like, just a few words." ”

Wu Xiaosan's black eggs and they all immediately shouted, why bear it, can't bear it!

As soon as they shouted, the soldiers of Bentun naturally surrounded them, and they all shouted that they couldn't bear it, of course they knew that their superiors were secretly dirty, although they were indignant, but they couldn't do anything, and now that someone was picking the lead, they had to follow closely. Suddenly, in the hearts of the Bentun soldiers, Li Qin's image became taller, far surpassing Meng Mu.

The soldiers of Betun listened and looked over together. Tang Biao snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but the soldiers in his tun thought to themselves: "Of course you have to take more if you can get more, but you don't have to complain if you can't get it." Many of the soldiers were embarrassed to look at their comrades in Betun.

The soldiers of Tanglaitun don't care, for them, it doesn't matter who takes the first, anyway, they must take the second, and the tun chief is the son of the county lieutenant, can they not get the second? Just watch the excitement of others!

The soldiers in Yao Xiutun shook their heads and sighed, look at the people's Mengmu Tun, someone is taking the lead to resist, why don't we have such a character in this tun, if only Li Lang was from our tun.

Yao Xiu thought to himself: "Very good, it's good if someone is willing to support Mao'er, my son is the leader of Li Qin's team, if Li Qin's blowing up thorns is successful, my son can also benefit." But this leader, my son can't pick it, just make a fortune quietly. ”

He turned his head to look at Meng Mu's tun, and sure enough, he saw his son Yao Qiu bowing his head and not saying a word, as low-key as he wanted.

The army walked down the streets, and many civilians followed. There are very few idlers in Fuping County, but the army performance, although it is just a juju, is also a rare big bustle throughout the year, so the people put down their work first and come over to see.

In the crowd, Jia's father was also among them, although Jia Xu has not come back yet, but his family has Li Qin's Zhou Ji, and his son is much better, and he also has time to come out to watch the excitement.

After a short time, outside the east gate of the city, the army formed a large circle in the open space, and the people stood on the periphery. Jing Ming beckoned the officials, and quickly erected two wooden poles at each end of the open space, and between the two wooden poles, five steps apart, was counted as a goal.

The officials brought a few stools and let Yusuke and his officials sit. Tang Ren asked the tun chiefs who would compare with whom first. Tang Lai spoke first, he didn't pick a thorn, he directly picked Yao Xiu's tun, he wanted to compare first. Twelve people were selected from each of the two tuns, and a ball was taken and the game was played.

Li Qin looked at the field and asked Meng Mudao, "I don't know what the rules of this competition are?" Why not than the queue, but than the kicker? ”

Meng Mu glanced at him sideways, and after showing a slight surprise on his face, he thought that Li Qin had just joined the army, and there were some things that he definitely didn't understand, so he was relieved and didn't think much about it.

Meng Mu said: "Keju is a training exercise, this is much more real than the training queue, our Han calls this the way of governing the country and practicing martial arts." Speaking of rules, I heard that the Central Plains people are more than Keju and break a lot of rules, but our Fuping is very simple, just two rules, one is not allowed to use hands, the other is not allowed to die, and then there is no more. ”

Li Qin sizzled, and said in his heart: "Okay, this is a competition, isn't this a game!" ”

Keju, an ancient football game, began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Han Dynasty, Keju was a formal military training, and someone wrote a special "Keju Twenty-five Chapters", which Ban Gu recorded in the "Book of Han", clearly stating that "Keju Twenty-five Chapters" was a military book, and there are similar records in Li's martial arts.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, due to the idea of moderation, Keju gradually changed from a confrontation surname sport to a performance surname sport, focusing on the skills of the kicker, while ignoring the physical confrontation, although there are many tricks and better looking, but from a military point of view, it is a serious regression, and finally failed to develop into a sport similar to modern football.

But now it's the Han Dynasty, and no one cares about what is mediocre or not. Keju in the Han Dynasty, should be regarded as the source of martial arts related to the legs and feet, can be called a kind of prototype of national arts, many schools of martial arts in later generations, when it comes to leg kung fu, many have the shadow of Keju.

And Li Qin's silk book is even more so, using the skill of Keju to train riding, of course, this is related to the fact that the stirrup is not yet mature, once the manufacturing method of the stirrup is mature, then it will not use the skill of Keju to exercise the leg kung fu.

Li Qin watched the competition on the field and had some understanding of the rules. I don't know how a big city like Luoyang, Chang'an, is better than Keju, it should be gentle, after all, there are many nobles who love to play football, but the Keju of the Fuping Army has nothing to do with gentleness.

Each team has a goal, that is, those two wooden poles without crossbars, whichever team can kick the opponent's goal three goals first, it is considered a win. When it comes to the competition of soldiers, it is simply the same as going into battle and fighting with the enemy, but without using hands, a typical law of the jungle, the winner is respected, and no one is killed.

Before the soldiers go on the field, they also have this psychological preparation, and they don't think that it is wrong to be injured, they are heroes if they win, and they are bears when they lose. If you fail, you can't blame the other party for being ruthless, you can only blame yourself for not having the ability, or blame yourself for not being a good boss!

At the beginning of the game, Yao Xiu's soldiers still struggled and took the lead in scoring a goal. But Tang Lai's soldiers retaliated and kicked down a Yao Xiu soldier. Tang Wei on the sidelines applauded loudly, but Yao Xiu didn't say a word, and turned his head away, indifferent.

The commander is like this, the soldiers are naturally discouraged, the victory or defeat has long been decided, what else is there to compare, if he is injured, the commander will not pay for the soup and medicine, and he has to stand up as a soldier! The first half could still be seen, but the second half of the game was very boring, and Tang Lai's soldiers scored three goals in a row, three to one, to end the game.

Meng Mu jumped up from the stool, took Li Qin's hand, strode to the front of his team, and shouted, "Li Lang's everything is on the field, and I will personally lead the team." You, you, and you, also play. He stretched out his hand and counted five strong men, enough to make up the number of twelve.

Li Qin thought to himself: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Either we don't do it, we can do it to the end! He shouted, "Gentlemen, are you a man?" If you are a man, you have to work hard, for the sake of our brothers. We can only win, we can't lose, we can eat dry rice if we win, and no one will pity us if we lose! He ripped off his shirt, threw it on the ground, exposed his upper body, and strode toward the field.

Shen Yi and Wu Xiaosan shouted: "Yes, his grandmother!" "He took off all his shirts and threw them on the ground. Especially Shen Yi, he was shirtless, and his tattoos were immediately revealed, coupled with his appearance, he was even more hideous and terrifying, dangling his arms, following behind Li Qin, and also got off the field.

Seeing this, the soldiers in Tunzhong cheered loudly, shouted, stomped their feet and clapped their hands, and cheered for Li Qin.

Seeing this, Meng Mu smiled and said, "Obediently, Li Lang is much fiercer than me, he is a stubble!" ”

In the crowd, Jia's father shouted: "Look at it, the one who walks in front is my little half, he has today's fierceness, all of which I have earnestly taught!" ”

The people around him said strangely: "Your little half-son? How does this say? ”

Father Jia said triumphantly: "I don't understand, my biological son is a whole son, my son-in-law is a half son, and Li Lang is my daughter-in-law's younger brother, isn't that a little half son!" ”

Immediately, Jia's father shouted loudly: "Li family boy, kick hard, kick according to the method I usually teach you!" ”

He has never taught Li Qin anything, but when it comes to big words, he is not shy at all, presumably he named his son "Xu", and there is also a reason for this, Xu also has the meaning of saying big words, but it is exactly the same as his current performance!
