Chapter 136: Victory
After the game was terminated, the onlookers were still enthusiastic and scolding, and the Uighur envoys and military attaches in Luoyang, as well as the Uighur merchants who had been invited to watch the game, also shouted loudly and ridiculed each other.
The Uighurs won the game, but the win was so tragic that they were doomed to third place and no chance to climb to the next level. Empress Wu sternly warned the Tibetans and the forbidden army not to repeat the story of the White Horse Temple and the Uighurs. Tubo was full of confidence, and naturally agreed, and the forbidden army only obeyed orders.
The Uighurs and the White Horse Monastery were carried down to treat their injuries, and in previous years, there were always people who were injured in the fierce scramble, so there were royal doctors waiting to treat them outside the court. However, there has never been a precedent in previous years for almost all players of the two teams to be drawn.
It's different now, not only are there 20 players who are injured, but even the substitutes that have been pulled up by both sides are now scarred. The two imperial doctors were short of manpower and did not bring enough medicine for the wounds, so they sent people to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine and ask the doctor to treat them first.
Although the people of the White Horse Temple are arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and they are hated by a group of people, they are still much closer to each other emotionally than the Uighur players, so the two imperial doctors "very unconsciously" threw the "international friends" aside and gave priority to treating their own compatriots.
They were able to heal the wounds of the White Horse Monastery first with their hands and medicinal herbs, and the wounded Uighur soldiers lay there wailing and groaning, but they were helpless. At this time, it was almost noon, the queen mother and the emperor, as well as many imperial relatives, powerful and high-ranking officials had to have lunch, and others also had to eat, and the second game was set for the afternoon.
By the time everyone had finished lunch, the doctors at the hospital were late. The Uighur wounded finally came to a savior, but the savior's treatment was sloppy, and even at lunch, the fat chef hung his eyebrows, crossed his eyes, and knocked the rice bucket with a spoon, as if feeding pigs, which made the Uighurs angry and stomachache.
The game started in the afternoon, which was the first strongest team in the Tang Dynasty, the Forbidden Army, and the first strongest team in the world, the Tubo team.
Because the forbidden army is the forbidden army's own team, the soldiers are more serious than watching the last game. If you say that everyone mainly watched the excitement in the last game. Then this is a really high-level bowing competition.
Both sides showed a high level of equestrianism, riding, bowing jishu and teamwork jishu, which is the real coordination and display of strength and beauty, every move, every move. Whether it is a horse flying with four hooves, a fierce atmosphere of fighting for me, or a heroic posture of fighting with a staff, it is all refreshing and cheering.
Yang Fan could see it. The game in which the forbidden army went all out was played remarkably, whether it was individual performance or team cooperation, it was a first-class level, which was the real level of the forbidden army. If they had shown this kind of momentum to compete with the White Horse Temple. Where can the White Horse Temple still be slightly downwind, it is simply out of reach.
But compared to the forbidden army, the Tibetan team is still superior. More precisely, the Forbidden Army lacked a leading soul. Just like the role played by Yang Fan in the Keju competition, they lack a benchmark leader, and this figure plays a role on the court that is equivalent to a handsome flag and a war drum. It has the effect of motivating morale and inspiring people.
The role of this kind of leader in the weak team has no impact on the overall victory or defeat. At most, it is like Yang Fan in the Keju competition, showing his personal brilliance, but in a team with a strong overall level, its role is immeasurable. Once such a leader joins, if the original team was a large iron mallet, now the flat mallet will become sharp, and the hammer will become a hammer.
Xue Ne's current role is actually the leader of the whole team, his playing style and tactics are undoubtedly very good, and the command of the whole team is also extremely clever, but after all, he is nearly forty years, more than steady, lack of sharpness, and not enough initiative on the court. …,
And Li Zhan, Ye Huli, Di Guangyuan, Wang Tongjiao, Wei Yong, Li Dayin, Lu Yan, Gao Chu and others just have their own strengths, not very outstanding, only Hu Seluo offensive is the sharpest, but it is still difficult to achieve the effect of sharp knives, and is faintly subject to Xue Ne's calmness, so the forbidden army has never been able to break through the dense defensive network woven by the other party.
On the bow field, Yehuli made a small mistake, the ball was cut off by the opponent, and the Tibetan striker immediately rushed forward, and the ball carrier accurately passed the ball to his horse, broke into the defense line of the forbidden army, and drove the ball straight to the goal.
The forbidden army guards Wei Yong, Li Dayin, Lu Yan, and Gao Chu quickly closed back to the defense, which sabotaged his offensive and hit the ball back to the midfield.
Princess Taiping frowned slightly, pinched her chin and said, "If it goes on like this, the situation of the forbidden army is not good." ”
Shangguan Wan'er said: "The technique of striking the bow came from Tibet, and it is reasonable that they are better than us. It seems that this year's bow leader will be taken away by them again. However, speaking of which, these people in the forbidden army are much more clever than last year. ”
Princess Taiping didn't answer, but just quickly glanced at Yang Fan, who was standing on the sidelines, clasping her arms with both hands, and looking at the game between the two sides intently: "This kid was originally the best candidate to make sharp knives, but it's a pity!" If he was on the pitch, the whole situation would have been very different. ”
Princess Taiping sighed softly.
The game continued on the court, because the forbidden army always lacked a strong knife-type figure, it was difficult to twist the opponent's defensive net, and the offensive of the opponent's two forwards was fierce and pressing, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Tubo team scored a goal, and the two sides had a 1-0 situation.
After the kick-off of the second quarter, the situation of the two sides is still the same, although the forbidden army tried its best, the sharpness is still insufficient, halfway through the game, Hu Seluo got a pass from Xue Ne, with the assistance of Di Guangyuan and Ye Huli, three people and three horses, shaped like a sharp arrow, interspersed with the opponent's back line, with a perfect S-shaped rush to the goal attached, a goal goal, equalized the score.
However, in the next third and fourth quarters, the opponent scored one goal and two more goals, and during this period, the forbidden army only scored one goal by Yehuli, and the score of the two sides became four to two. In Zuihou's two quarters, the forbidden army went from bad to worse, and Zuihou ended the game with a 7-4 victory.
When the game ended unexpectedly, the soldiers hung their heads, and tens of thousands of people around the arena were silent, only some Tibetans who were invited by the Tibetan envoys near the rostrum shouted and cheered for victory...... The whole game, Wu Zetian watched it, but the victory and defeat didn't seem to be in her eyes, when the game ended, Wu Zetian smiled faintly and said: "Tubo is really superior, and this year Tubo won the championship." Hehe, come on, bring the golden cup. ”
The Tibetan envoy Jie Wei Qu stood up from his seat, slapped his clothes, glanced triumphantly at the Tang magnates present, strode in front of Wu Zetian, arched his hand arrogantly, and said with a smile: "Foreign minister, thank you for the reward!" Hehe, it's not that the minister boasts, this bow technique is originally in our state, and there is no one in the world who can compete with my state! ”
The arrogance between Jiewei's words was overflowing, and the Tang Dynasty civil and military clubs present were all angry, and Jiewei was proud and disagreed. At this time, Gong E came up with the golden cup, Wu Zetian waved his hand slightly, and said lightly: "Reward!" ”
"Thank you for the Empress Dowager!"
Jie Wei said a word, flicked his sleeves, held the gold cup, smiled happily, and raised the gold cup high above his head, and the Tubo people present immediately let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers. …,
The Tibetan envoy turned around three times in place, showed his spoils to the audience, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly glanced at a few cases in front of Wu Zetian, and then paused, and said: "Queen of Heaven, next year's Shangyuan, I must still bow down, and I Tubo must also have to participate. ”
Saying this, it was a very rude move, Wu Zetian was a little surprised, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and he asked curiously: "I don't know what the envoy of Jiewei wants to use as a color?" ”
Jie Wei descended and said: "I have won three times in a row in Tubo, and each time the color head is a treasure cup. The foreign minister saw that the queen mother's case on this cup is gorgeous and abnormal, and he likes it very much, this cup is used by the queen mother, it must be extremely precious, if the foreign minister can win this cup back in the coming year, I believe that Zampu will be very happy. ”
Wu Zetian raised his hand slightly, made their movements, gently stroked the cup of wine on the case, and said with a smile: "Jiewei descending the song envoy, but you have taken a fancy to this 'Golden Ou Yonggu' cup?" ”
When Wu Zetian said 'Golden Ou Yonggu', he deliberately accentuated his tone, but Jiewei responded with a lower song: "Exactly!" ”
Although Wu Zetian still had a smile on his face, the corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was familiar with her, knew that the queen of heaven was really angry.
Jie Wei descended to say this, it was already a public humiliation of the Tang Dynasty, and it was extremely rude for him to designate the lottery head of the next year's competition to the Queen Mother. In particular, Wu Zetian has already pointed out the name of the treasure cup: "Golden Ou Yonggu", since such a name has been taken, this golden cup has a very significant political significance.
Although Jiewei is not from the Central Plains, he is an envoy of Tubo and is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains, so it is impossible not to understand the meaning of this sentence, but he did not hesitate and still wanted to use this cup as a color, which was not just that he had no one in his eyes, but a deliberate provocation.
Wu Zetian gently stroked the golden cup. The cup was made of pure gold, with a three-legged tripod and a round, straight mouth. The mouth is engraved along the back pattern, the middle part of the chisel seal book "Jin Ou Yonggu", the outer wall is full of chisel treasure phase flowers, and the stamen is made of pearl and red, sapphire as raw materials. There is a deformed dragon ear on each side, and there is a jewel on the dragon's head.
Wu Zetian rubbed lightly for a moment, slowly raised his head, his phoenix eyes were full of anger, and said softly: "Jiewei descended the envoy, do you think that Tubo will definitely win?" ”
