The Mid-Autumn Festival has finally arrived, and Shanglin Yuan has once again opened its doors to the people of Chang'an as usual, and on this day, anyone can enter and exit at will, without any formalities. To be able to set foot in the royal garden, to enjoy the style of the royal garden, itself is an extremely rare opportunity, coupled with the biennial polo match will kick off according to the old practice, the Beijing Polo Tournament and the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club are on the alternate year, this year happens to be the year of the polo match, all kinds of people in the Beijing Division are more eager to rush to it, so that before dawn, there are countless people in Beijing with the old and the young to the forest garden, lest it be too late, it will not be able to grab a good seat, The scrambling posture is definitely comparable to the fans who frantically ran to watch the football World Cup in later generations, so how can it be lively?

As the crown prince, Li Zhen doesn't need to be busy competing for positions like ordinary people, but she also got up early in the morning and led Chen Qianniang and Salan Yini to the two good women (the title of the prince's wife and concubine, under Liangdi, is the fifth grade. Riding the golden chariot, surrounded by a large group of guards and eunuchs, they rushed to the palace, accompanied by Li Shimin and a large group of concubines in the palace to ride towards Shanglin Yuan together, all the way to the scene, arrived at the polo field of Shanglin Yuan at three o'clock in the morning, accompanied the old man to climb the wooden three-story tower, after accepting the bowing and cheering of the subjects, with the inner attendant Liu Donghe a sharp and high-pitched opening sound, drums and trumpets sounded, the polo tournament officially kicked off.

Although the polo tournament at this time also has the rules of the relevant game, there is also the arbiter's saying, but it is impossible to have such a rigorous competition system as in later generations, let alone there is no qualifier and the like, in fact, those who can be qualified to form a team to sign up for the competition are those magnates, families and princes in the Beijing Division, although there are not too many restrictions on participation, but in such a grand festival, there are not many people who have the courage to form a team to participate. If you lose a game, you will not be able to play, as for the alignment of the teams is determined by the order of the draw, it is very interesting that Yan 18, who represented the Donggong team to draw lots in front of the palace, drew the No. 1 lot, a game, the opponent is the Jingzhao Du family, considering the old Longzhou affair between Li Zhen and the Jingzhao Du family, it is quite interesting, as soon as the lottery is drawn, the old man can't help but laugh, as for the subjects who know about Longzhou, they are all making a fuss, and the game has not yet started. The atmosphere has reached a high point, the polo game itself is to make a lively, for the festive rendering of the festival, as for the victory or defeat, in fact, it is not a very important thing, at least for the people of Beijing, however, because of this new prince, it is another group of polo teams to participate, which makes people look forward to it, not to mention that it also involves old grievances, which is more interesting, but it is no wonder that the people of Beijing are excited.

The Du family is a great family with a very long history, since the first polo tournament held in Zhenguan ten years, the Du family has not been absent, the results are quite good, the year before last it entered the final finals, of course, after a hard fight, it is logical to lose to the former prince Li Zhi's team, which shows its strength, and Li Zhen, the Manjing division knows that he does not play polo, this coldly formed a team, how the level is really doubtful, in case the Du family refuses to give in, maybe the East Palace Polo team will make a big joke, This is a rare thing, and it is worth laughing at, no, as soon as the signing was drawn, the princes laughed maliciously.

Father, the Longxiang team is a team named by the father, this time the first one to play, a big victory can be expected, and the sons dare not congratulate it in advance. Without waiting for Li Shimin to signal the game to start, Li Su, the king of Shu, immediately smiled and said a word in his seat.

Yes, the father gave the name Long Xiang, since there is the meaning of Long Xiang for nine days, the son can see the majesty of this team, fortunately! As soon as Li Su's words fell, Li Ke, the king of Wu, immediately echoed in a word.

Father, son is willing to give out 300 lotteries, reward the winning team, please father and emperor. Li Tai, the king of Wei, saw that the two brothers had opened their mouths one after another, and he was not to be left behind, and he also coaxed with a smile.

The three of them made a fuss, and although the faces of the three prime ministers who were sitting upstairs Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Zhu Suiliang were all stable, their eyes were all exciting, and they all unconsciously looked at Li Zhen, who was sitting firmly under Li Shimin, and wanted to see how the newly baked prince would fight back.

Ha, damn it, I know that these boys are really uneasy and kind, and give a reward? Success, then let's laugh and accept it! Li Zhen's heart was crooked, but her face was very calm, as if she had never heard the noise of her brothers, she sat leisurely with her hands down, and she never even raised her eyelids.

Li Shimin waited for a while, and squinted to see that Li Zhen, who was sitting at the top of the bottom, had no abnormal reaction, so he didn't wait any longer, just smiled and waved his hand and said: Now that it's ready, let's start.

Yes, yes. Liu Donghe, who was waiting on the side, heard that the old man had opened Chrysostom, and he didn't dare to slack off, and after answering, he walked quickly to the front of the building, carried enough energy, and shouted: There is a decree in the saint, the event begins! As soon as these words came out, the drums immediately beat, and the noise immediately quieted down, and everyone waited eagerly for the two teams to play.

Brothers, show some momentum, who dares to fall in the face of His Highness, military law is engaged! Yan Eighteen rode on his horse, glanced at the people behind him with a fierce face, and roared viciously.

Heh, ha! Gao Heng and the others are all characters who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and they will not have much stage fright, they each let go of their throats and drank twice, the sound of the sound actually suppressed the noisy drums, and the evil aura inside was so thick that the people nearby couldn't help but tremble.

Good job, follow Lao Tzu! Yan 18 was obviously extremely satisfied with the performance of a group of subordinates, roared, raised the polo stick, and galloped towards the center of the field, and the nine East Palace battle generals behind him did not dare to slack off, and rode out of the horse in a hurry, and in an instant it was lined up in three neat rows, and there was no difference between the ups and downs of the horses' hooves, showing extremely superb horsemanship and excellent military instinct.

Good!

Wonderful!

The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are extremely strong, the people are still martial, most of them know how to ride, and when they saw the great spirit of the Longxiang team, they all couldn't help but shout good, and the already high atmosphere was a little higher.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never explained the significance of this polo match, Yan Eighteen has guessed a few points, he knows the significance of this game, so although the cheers outside the stadium are loud at this time, Yan Eighteen was not moved, and rushed to the center of the field, and bowed his hand to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were already waiting in the center of the field, and said loudly: The left guard of the East Palace led Yan Eighteen to fight.

Du Jia Du Zhengxin led the team to play. As soon as Yan Shibai's words fell, Du Zhengxin, the captain of the Du family polo team who rushed to the center of the field, was not to be outdone, let go of his throat and roared.

At this time, the so-called arbitrator is naturally impossible to compare with the authority of the referees in later generations, and it is not full of rushing to supervise the game between the two sides, and it is impossible to have the right to punish people with red and yellow cards. The rules and regulations to be announced before the start of the game still have to go up, no, as soon as the two captains came out, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, as the arbitrators, immediately pulled out the various precautions of the game with a straight face, and presided over the selection of the venue and the right to kick off by both sides, which can be regarded as completing half of the work of the arbitrator, dropping a drum and sounding, the game began. After that, he retreated to the sidelines and directed the drummer to beat the signal for the start of the game.

Yan Eighteen has good luck, what he drew is the first to attack the lot, and the line is a double-front tactic, specifically, Yan Eighteen and Gao Heng play forwards, and there are He Chengye and Liu Kui behind them, as for the remaining three Donggong guards as guards, this formation belongs to a typical stable position, both offensive and defensive, offensive and defensive, but the attack power is not too strong, compared to the formation of two fronts and three waists, it is a cut worse, and from a defensive point of view, the stability of its defense is not as good as the four-back tactics, can only be a conservative formation, nothing surprising, and as a defensive side, the Dujia Polo Team is a single forward, three waists, three guards formation, and the Longxiang team is facing each other across the field.

Drive! As soon as the drum stopped, Yan Shiba, who was holding the ball, glanced at Gao Heng beside him, shouted violently, swung to protect the ball, and rushed directly towards the formation of the Du family's team, at the same time, Gao Heng rode out of the slash and ran along the sidelines, and the two backs and three defenders were also scattered at the same time, like a goddess scattering flowers, each of them stepped forward, this kind of movement was not at all a move that should be done by the double-forward tactics, which immediately made the Du family polo team dumbfounded, and did not react for a while What tricks the Long Xiang team was playing.

The Du family's polo team is all composed of the children of the Du family, before this game, Du Xuandao, the head of the Du family, unusually did not have any explanation, neither ordered to handiew the ball, nor ordered to win, this strange itself made Du Zhengxin, who was the captain, suspicious, and could not live in peace in his heart, The Du family's group of players are all low-level officials of various ministries and departments, and their official positions are far worse than the old nose compared to the Longxiang team, and the one standing behind the Longxiang team is the prince Li Zhen, the killing god, Should this ball make Du Zhengxin really undecided, and in a trance, he suddenly saw that the Longxiang team was fully launched, and after being stunned, he immediately woke up, hurriedly made a gesture, and shouted: Up, stop them! As soon as the words fell, Du Zhengxin, as a striker, took the lead in running to Yan Eighteen, holding the pole in one hand, dragging and galloping close to the ground, blocking the line of Yan Eighteen's sprint, and at the same time, the remaining six members of the Du family polo team also dispersed, intending to block Yan Eighteen's passing line from all directions, trying to trap Yan Eighteen in the formation.

Well done! Yan 18 saw that the other party was coming to kill him, and immediately shouted, the horse rushed forward, the club in his hand waved, and actually hit the ball behind him, followed by He Chengye quickly killed, waved the ball to block the ball, and passed to the sidelines, and ran to the sidelines of Liu Kui A light stop ball, and then slammed it, the ball flew forward, Gao Heng, who had just arrived at the center line of the fieldside, chased the ball that was rushing forward and launched a high-speed sprint, and at this time, the two children of the Du family who reacted immediately gave up the plan to surround Yan Eighteen, Put the horse and sprint with all his strength, trying to grab the ball in front of Gao Heng to block the ball, the horse speed of both sides is extremely fast, and the distance from the polo that is slowly rolling forward is also the same, this sprint, the onlookers all shouted loudly to cheer up, and the scene was noisy for a while.

Gao Heng had already seen the two Du family disciples stabbing in the high-speed sprint, but he was not panicked at all, kicked the horse's belly suddenly, ** the war horse suddenly sped up, grabbed the opponent's two players, rushed to the polo, stretched out the polo stick in his hand, had protected the ball, picked it lightly, picked the ball through the two Du family disciples stretched out to block the club, and then rushed over non-stop, protected the ball again, and rushed along the sideline towards the opponent's goal like flying.

The children of the Du family obviously didn't expect Gao Heng's ball skills and riding skills to be so good, after being got rid of Gao Heng, they each chased desperately behind, and the children of the Du family, who were originally entangled with Yan Shibai and others, saw that the goal was about to be lost, they turned their horses' heads and rushed towards Gao Heng, trying to intercept Gao Heng who was sprinting fast, and at the same time, Yan Shibai and others also rushed to the sidelines where Gao Heng was, making a posture of response, and the scene was suddenly a big chaos.

According to the regulations, after the ball passes half the court, you can not pass the ball, you can only dribble over people, the so-called dribbling, naturally not to let the ball roll, but to hold the rod to pinball, do not make the ball land, the opponent can interfere and scramble from the side, once the ball falls to the ground, the two sides will start to encircle on the spot, until one side provokes the ball again, bounces and kills the opponent's goal, the fight between the attack and defense is extremely tragic, in the case of the two sides of the riding skills, the ball skills are not much different, to highlight the encirclement with their own strength, it is almost impossible, At this time, although Gao Heng broke through the interception of two Du family disciples, but the three Du family guards had already surrounded from the front, and Du Zhengxin and another Du family disciple were rushing over from the side and rear, and there were two Du family disciples behind him who were constantly accelerating forward, blocking Gao Heng's back road, although Yan Shibai and others were also rushing over at high speed to help, but the situation was still extremely unfavorable for Gao Heng.

A good Gao Heng, in the face of such front and rear interception, there are chasing soldiers, and there is an unfavorable situation of outflanking on the side, not chaotic at all, dribbling like a fly straight forward, a faction tried to forcibly break through the posture of the three Du family guards, causing the three Du family guards to rush forward, but Gao Heng was good, just at the same time as the three Du family guards started to speed, suddenly twisted the horse's head, a rapid change of direction, and ran towards the goal in the oblique stab, and at this time, the three Du family defenders were already unable to react, although they tried their best to adjust the direction of the ** war horse, How could it be too late, Gao Heng was lightly brushed over, at this time, the goal was empty, and there was no obstruction, Gao Heng unceremoniously galloped wildly, and easily sent the ball into the empty goal, one to zero! Team Longxiang came out on top!

This ball is completely caused by Gao Heng's superb riding skills, and the audience did not hesitate to shout loudly, applause and applause, and Li Shimin, who was sitting on the tall building, also lightly puffed his palms and shouted hello, and then looked at Li Zhen, who was silent, and said with a smile: Zhen'er, that young general's riding skills are amazing, who is it?

The Longxiang team was victorious, Li Zhenzi was also quite excited, but his face was still very flat, and there was no performance of getting carried away.

Oh. Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and then asked as if intentionally or unintentionally: Gao Heng? I heard that this son is your apprentice, but is there such a thing?

Well? The old man asked about this matter in a dignified manner, and what kind of name is it about? Li Zhen sighed in her heart, and a feeling of not being good came to her heart, but the old man asked, Li Zhen couldn't help but answer, so she had no choice but to tell the truth: Father Mingjian, this son is indeed learning art in front of his son, but he is still carved, and after a few years, he may be able to become a great tool.

Li Shimin actually knew Gao Heng's things in his heart, and he also admired the courage of this son, at this time, seeing that Gao Heng's riding skills were so exquisite, and seeing that he was happy, he originally planned to transfer this son to the Twelve Guards and let him accompany him to the battle, at this time, listening to Li Zhen say this, it was not good to ask for someone again, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to say anything in public, just smiled and nodded, then stopped talking, and turned his head to look at the field.

Dizzy! The old man is planning to dig people, hey, we're just going to have such a few people, you always want to pull one away, then let's play a fart! Li Zhen's mind is very sensitive, as soon as he saw the old man's actions, he already understood that his previous guess was correct, and secretly called it lucky, but also quite worried that the old man's subordinates were actually not short of generals, with Qin Huaiyu, Xue Rengui and other young generals growing up, the situation of the lack of green and yellow in the early years has already changed greatly, at this time, it is good to transfer people from Li Zhen's hands, love is certainly one thing, beware of Li Zhen is only afraid of the most fundamental reason, which makes the strings in Li Zhen's heart can't help but quietly tighten a little, I didn't want to watch the game on the field, thinking about how to deal with the old man's suspicion, and I thought about it for a while, until a noise suddenly sounded, which woke Li Zhen up from his contemplation, and looked at it, but saw that Du Zhengxin had broken through the encirclement with the ball and was rushing towards the goal of the Longxiang team, and at this time, Yan Shibai and others were entangled with the other players of the Du family, and the only one who was still in the backfield was only one person left, Salan Buqi, Whether Salambucci, who has not been in contact with polo for too long, can intercept Du Zhengxin's breakthrough has become the key to whether the Longxiang team can keep the goal intact.

Salambucci once played polo at the time of the confrontation with the Bazhuo army on the front line of the Qingshui River, Yan Eighteen, Gao Heng and others dragged them to play together, and then learned some skills, and then went to Beijing to play a few games, because of its strong riding skills, but also learned quickly, but the experience is really not rich, at this time seeing Du Zhengxin dribbling like flying rushed over, Saran Buqi was a little flustered, seemed to be stunned, and then swung up to meet it, but the riding speed was slow, and the body did not seem to be stable, in the exclamation of the audience, Saranbuchi seems to be lost, and the goal of the Longxiang team is in danger!
