Tianbao seven years of polo competition, the most anticipated is the Anxi Army and Fan Yang Army a dragon and tiger battle, three years ago, the Anxi Army with a goal difference, hated defeat, but because of Fan Yang Army General Cai Xide's insults, triggered a vicious fight between the two armies on the polo field, Anxi Army to three years after the avow of revenge to Chang'an people left a very deep memory.

Three years later, both armies entered Beijing strongly, Anxi Army swept the Jiannan Army Polo Team 12-1, showing a kingly demeanor, and Fan Yangjun also eliminated the Lingnan team 9-2 in the first game, showing strong strength.

Therefore, the narrow road meeting of the two armies on the ninth day of the first month of the first month triggered the unprecedented enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an, and became the biggest hot spot since the start of the polo tournament, in order to see this wonderful dragon and tiger battle, not only the horse fans of the counties of Jingzhao Prefecture also poured into Chang'an City, and even the horse fans of Fengxiang, Huazhou, Shaanzhou, Qingzhou and other nearby states and counties also rushed to Chang'an, to join relatives and friends, for a time, the major inns in Chang'an were full, and all the public places such as various wine shops and green buildings were talking about the war that was about to start.

In order to ensure the excitement of this game, the military department temporarily changed its plan and specially allowed the Anxi Army and Fan Yangjun to go to Jianghuai to take up the regimental training envoy to set off one day later, so that the two armies could have a complete lineup to confront each other.

This polo match even alarmed Li Longji, who specially decreed that the game be held at the Chongyefang Polo Field, the largest polo stadium in Chang'an, in order to prevent a large number of horse fans from pouring into Chongyefang early in the morning to cause trouble, the door of the square was not closed on the eighth night of the first lunar month, and ordered Jin Wuwei and the patrol battalion to be fully responsible for maintaining order.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, from noon, there are countless horse fans to Chongye Fang to occupy a favorable seat, until the night, more and more people, the side of the polo field is filled with thousands of fans, they bring blankets and bedding, will spend in the cold night, the eve of the Anxi Army and Fan Yangjun game, countless Chang'an people will be sleepless all night.

After Fan Yang Jiedu sent his son back to Youzhou, An Lushan made a special trip to Chang'an again, and the game with the Anxi Army was not only a polo game for An Lushan, but also a contest of strength between armies to a certain extent, and an alternative contest of mounted archery.

After Shi Siming lost to Li Qing'an at Yang Huahua's birthday banquet, An Lushan has never attached such importance to this game as he did today.

In the afternoon, in An Lushan's mansion in Chang'an, the first pre-war meeting was held, which was presided over by An Lushan himself.

An Lushan, staff member Yan Zhuang, team member Shi Siming, team deputy Cai Xide, and another core player Yin Ziqi attended the meeting.

"The importance of this competition, I will tell you first, if the game wins, it means that I An Lushan has a good way to lead the troops, and there are many talents in riding and archery, and now Wang Zhongsi has been arrested, and Hexi and Longyou are vacancies, and it is very likely that people will be transferred from Shuofang or Longyou, so that I may also serve as Shuofang or Hedong Jiedu envoy will be greatly increased, so in this game, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, and if I win, I will give everyone an official and a knight, and double the reward, but defeated, hum! Then Hugh blames me for being ruthless with an iron face. ”

An Lushan's tone was very stern, his gaze swept towards everyone one by one, and finally fell on Shi Siming's face, the last time he threw the pot in the competition, he lost in the hands of Li Qingan in a humiliating way, so this time, if he loses again.......

Shi Siming knew what An Lushan was thinking, his face was hot, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, we will never lose this game." ”

At this time, Yan Zhuang next to him smiled, "General Shi, it's not enough to have high morale, you have to use some strategy." ”

He said to An Lushan again: "I went to watch the match between the Anxi Army and the Jiannan Polo Team the day before yesterday, and their strength has improved greatly compared to the last time, especially after one more Li Qingan, the Anxi Army is no longer the team three years ago, Dashuai, with all due respect, the strength of our Fan Yang Army Polo Team is slightly inferior to them." ”

"Mr. Yan should not grow the morale of others."

Cai Xide said with some dissatisfaction: "I have also seen their training, and we have their own merits, I admit that his shooting level is slightly higher, but we are superior to them in the ability to control horses, we have the world's most powerful Youzhou Iron Cavalry as the backing, and the commander personally commands, which is much more advantageous than them alone." ”

An Lushan waved his hand resolutely and said: "Mr. Yan's words also have some truth, the polo game is actually a battle between the two armies, the open plot is the main thing, the conspiracy is the supplement, if we can win tomorrow, we can do whatever it takes." ”

After speaking, he said to Yan Zhuang again: "Sir, I will leave this matter to you, how much money you want, I will give, how many people you want, I will also give!" ”

Yan Zhuang smiled proudly and said: "Don't worry, don't be rude, the last time the little general happened, we were plotted, and we returned the other way, this time, I will let Anxi taste my three-ring plan."

．．．．．．．．．

The Anxi Jinju Academy was already heavily guarded, and the Wannian County Patrol Battalion specially mobilized 300 people to patrol near the wall of the Jinju Yuan, and no one was allowed to approach.

In order to ensure the victory of this game, the Anzai Army also issued an internal order that no one was allowed to leave the Concert Courtyard and no guests were allowed to receive any guests, and everyone rested in the Concert Courtyard and waited for tomorrow's battle.

As soon as the night fell, Duan Xiushi hurriedly came to Li Qing'an's room, Li Qing'an was discussing with Li Fei Shouyu about going to Yangzhou, seeing Duan Xiushi coming in, Li Qingan smiled and said: "Cheng Gong is still a little worried?" ”

Duan Xiushi nodded, and sighed slightly: "The lesson of three years ago is too profound, and we can't afford to guard against it this year." ”

"What happened three years ago?" Li Qingan didn't know the specific details and asked curiously.

Thinking of what happened three years ago, Li Fei Shouyu hated and said: "Three years ago, when the game was played, there was a hidden blade hidden in Cai Xide's boots, which stabbed me and Bai Yuanguang's legs, although I changed horses, but after all, I was not as comfortable as my own horse, Bai Yuanguang missed two goals in a row, resulting in the final defeat, and the two armies fought on the polo field, injuring many people, this year's game is even more eye-catching, I am sure that Fan Yangjun will also resort to despicable means." ”

"Shouyu is right, we were really negligent three years ago, and we must not be plotted again this year."

Duan Xiushi glanced at Li Qing'an, "Qilang, what do you think?" ”

Li Qingan said lightly: "We don't be villains, but we will never be gentlemen, as long as we arrange carefully and know the rules, we will make An Lushan invulnerable, and even let him reap the consequences." ”

Duan Xiushi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Qilang, tell me more about it." ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "The best way to deal with An Lushan is to calm the brakes, to change his change, he makes conspiracies and tricks, let's deal with it calmly, they have distractions in their hearts, we can be open-minded, in order to play with momentum, and take him three armies with momentum." ”

"Shichiro is right!"

Li Siye walked in with a smile and said to the three people: "They make conspiracies and tricks, and they get a small trend, let's fight with integrity, we can get the big trend, and we will win this battle with the big trend." ”

"I have thought of at least twenty of the various precautionary measures."

Li Qingan smiled slightly, he wrote a note, walked quickly to the door, handed it to the leader of the family sent by Gao Lishi and said, "Please give this note to Gao Weng, saying that I really want to ask him for help this time." ”

．．．．．．．．．

The Concert House is equivalent to today's Beijing Office, which is generally managed by special personnel sent from all over the country, and the same is true of the Anzai Concert Academy, the steward and a few deputies are small officials sent by the Anzai Metropolitan Protectorate, but some miscellaneous servants such as grooms, cooks, and grooms are hired by locals, although the Anzai Concert House is heavily guarded and outsiders are not allowed to visit, but the miscellaneous servants of the Concert House itself are not within the scope of prohibition.

The concert hall covers a large area, there are several special cleaning handymen, and there is a tree gardener, this gardener's surname is Hu, honest and honest, does not like to talk, so he is nicknamed Hu Mutou, he is a native of Gaoling County, Jingzhao Prefecture, so after the concert was burned, he asked for leave to return to his hometown, just happened to meet the New Year, so he did not rush back until the eighth night of the first month.

Because he was a member of the Concert Academy, the soldiers of the patrol battalion did not embarrass him, and after searching him, they put him in the Concert Academy.

"Hu Mutou, why did you only come back today?" Luo Senjun, the steward of the Academy, asked a little unhappily.

"Master Luo, I just heard that the house has been repaired, so I went out early this morning and came here, please bear with me Master Luo."

"Forget it, I won't talk about you, the three plum trees in the right yard have not bloomed this winter, it's strange, you go and take a look!"

"I'll go!"

Hu Mutou hurriedly ran to the right courtyard, the right courtyard is the location of the stable and the kitchen, there is a well behind the kitchen, cooking and drinking horses are in this well to draw water, the stable has been heavily guarded, there are seven or eight hidden piles squatting nearby, because the polo player's war horses are in this stable, so it is particularly careless.

Hu Mutou didn't go to the stable, he came to the three plum trees to inspect carefully, and from a distance, Cook Wang looked through the window and smiled: "Hu Mutou, is it my oil smoke that has burned the trees?" ”

"No, it's a worm."

"I'm going to water something."

Hu Mutou seemed to have a lot of words today, he carried a wooden bucket from the wall, walked quickly towards the well, walked to the well, walked to the well, he looked around, there was no one, only the Wang Cook smiled to himself in front of the window.

"Chef Wang, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for not catching insects for trees, but watering them."

"What's strange about this, it's early spring, so naturally we have to water the trees more, and I'll catch insects later."

Hu Mutou said as he fetched a bucket of water, he glanced at Chef Wang, sniffed and smiled: "Chef Wang, what is your stuff?" ”

"Yo! I'm cooking. ”

Chef Wang hurriedly ran to see the fire, and at this time, there was no one around, Hu Mutou lowered his head, and the soft hood he wore on his head fell into the well.

Hu Mutou's heart was pounding with nervousness, he hurried back to the tree with a bucket, poured a bucket of water, dropped the bucket and left, his task was completed, and now he had to leave the concert hall quickly, and enjoy the large sum of money he got today, and no longer have to be a carpenter.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked out of the east courtyard, and suddenly a long and powerful hand stretched out from behind the door, pinched his neck, and only heard He Lou Yurun's voice say coldly: "What did you throw into the well, you bastard?" ”
