Chapter 3 Trials and Delegation

PS: I originally wanted to continue to name the chapters in the way of pairs in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but I obviously overestimated my language skills.

PPS: Thank you (Book King) for adding this book to the book list before signing the contract, thank you very much!

PPPS: Tentatively updated with 4,000 words per day, that is, 4,000 words per chapter, or 2,000 words for two chapters. The first watch will be updated at 12 noon, and the two watches will be updated at 12 pm and 8 pm.

----------

By the time the four of them put the incense in their hands into the incense burner and stood up, the subordinates on Zhang Feizhuang had already set up a table of wine again and began to clean up the altar.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao couldn't help but look up at the sun - in the Three Kingdoms period without watches, the time could only be judged by the sun - it was still morning.

Well, that's right, I started drinking in the morning, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Zhang Hao can also understand that in this era of entertainment, daily life is really boring. So in normal times, Liu Bei wants to weave mats and sell shoes to support his family, Guan Yu loves "Spring and Autumn", what can Zhang Fei do as a big old man? You can only kill pigs and sell pork.

Zhang Hao really thinks that Zhang Fei, the fifth diamond king, is absolutely boring to do this kind of thing.

Therefore, when Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Hao came to Zhang Feizhuang, Zhang Da Tuhao set up two tables of banquets in a row, after all, he had a companion, and he finally had something to do.

Of course, the four of them can't just drink, they also have to chat. It just so happens that although Zhang Hao already knows that this era is dominated by Keju, he is still not clear about some details.

As a result, this morning banquet became the class time for Liu Guanzhang and Zhang Xiaobai.

……

The Dahan Keju League was organized by the court of the Han Dynasty and was divided into three leagues: national, state and county, similar to the Chinese Super League, the Chinese League and the Chinese Second League, but the competition system was slightly different.

Taking Zhuo County in Youzhou as an example, the Keju team of Zhuo County first participated in the Zhuo County Keju League, then participated in the Youzhou Keju League after promotion, and then participated in the Dahan Keju League after promotion. For another example, the promotion route of the Taiyuan Keju team is Taiyuan-Bingzhou-Dahan. In other words, before the highest-level Dahan Keju League, teams from different states could not meet together, similar to the north-south division system of the second division.

The national Keju team is divided into three types, one is the state-owned team, which is led by the local assassins, taishou, and county orders. One is the aristocratic team, led by the imperial court officials, such as Yuan Shao, who was the captain of the Central Military Academy at the time, and Cao Cao, the captain of the Military Academy, who have their own Keju team under their hands. The third type, which is currently the largest number of Keju teams, is the people's self-organized non-governmental team.

For state-owned teams and aristocratic teams, league results are equivalent to their political achievements, and good results in the league will give them the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. For the private team, the Keju League, like the imperial examination, is a shortcut to the official career.

Since ancient times, especially in feudal society, officials and the people have always been two classes, and there will inevitably be contradictions between different classes. Originally, this was understandable, after all, there were contradictions that could be resolved in the Keju competition. But the bad thing is that the ten permanent servants who control the government and politics interfere in the Keju League.

In order to solicit bribes from local officials at all levels, the Ten Standing Servants directly intervened in the results of the competition, which is commonly known as "blowing the black whistle", so that those state-owned teams and aristocratic teams could win all the way to the promotion. And the direct result of this is that the promotion path of those civilian teams is completely broken.

As a result, there was a Keju team called "Yellow Turban" and the leader was called Zhang Jiao, and other local folk teams rose up to resist, which was the "Yellow Turban Uprising" in this era.

The "Yellow Turban Uprising" was very successful at the beginning, suppressing the state-owned teams of the same league by inexplicable means, and giving those civilian teams a new hope of promotion. These folk teams who tasted the sweetness were mainly worshiped by Zhang Jiao, and the power of the Yellow Turbans also began to spread to neighboring states and counties, and gradually spread to the whole country.

As an ordinary person who accounts for the vast majority of the population, if the Yellow Turban Group continues to develop like this, although it will not completely subvert the rule of the Han Dynasty, it will at least be able to compete with the Ten Standing Servants and return to normalization.

However, although Zhang Jiao is known as the "Heavenly General", after all, he is only a mortal, and he will also have desires. So after the Yellow Turban's power was in full swing and Zhang Jiao became the same leader as the Ten Standing Servants, he also degenerated.

It is only a trivial matter to pay money to join the Yellow Turban forces. In order to earn more money, Zhang Jiao even organized the "Underground Keju Competition", which is commonly known as the "Wild Ball Competition". It was these two actions that made Zhang Jiao gradually lose his popular base. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer non-governmental teams participating in the "Wild Ball Match", Zhang Jiao finally did something that angered people, that is, to force the people to participate by violent means. At this time, after Zhang Jiao stood on the opposite side of the imperial court, he pushed the ordinary people to his enemy's side, completely isolated.

After the Ten Standing Servants and others learned of this news, they also seized this golden opportunity to recruit troops and horses in various places, and destroyed the economic foundation of the Yellow Turban forces by infiltrating the "wild ball game", so as to destroy Zhang Jiao.

……

By the time Liu Guanzhang and the others finished popularizing these basic knowledge to Zhang Hao, the sun was already high in the sky. So after a simple lunch, the four of them came to Liu Yan's Taishou Mansion and prepared to sign up for the Keju team.

"Report too much! There are four people outside the door who want to sign up for the Keju team! "In the Taishou Mansion, a herald reported to Liu Yanyu.

"Huh? Let them in. ”

"Yes!"

So, the four of them followed the guidance of their own soldiers and entered the main hall of Taishoufu, only to see a person sitting in the middle, it was Liu Yan, and there was a person standing next to him, who was a captain under Liu Yan, named Zou Jing.

"Grass people Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Hao, see Taishou."

After the four of them stood still, Liu Yan looked at it for a moment, then turned to Zou Jing and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zou Jing thought for a moment, leaned over and whispered to Liu Yan: "That Guan Yu and Zhang Fei seem to be quite powerful, and Liu Bei is also acceptable, but that Zhang Hao is slightly weak." It's just that you need at least four people to participate in the 'Wild Ball Game', so it's better to let them try. ”

Liu Yan nodded when he heard this, and said to the four of them: "I already know your ambition to serve the country, and today you will vote for my government, and go to the record first." At noon three days later, I went to Zhuojun Keju Field to report, remember. ”

"Xie Taishou!" The four of them said goodbye to Liu Yan, and followed their soldiers to register their names on the roster, which can be regarded as a member of the state-owned team.

Well, the reserves are also state-owned.

……

Returning to Zhang Feizhuang, Zhang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, on the one hand, he was busy with this today, and he was a person in the "system" anyway.

What's more, on the other hand, that is, Zhang Fei did not set up the third table of the banquet!

To be honest, even if the wine-making technology was not good in ancient times, drinking wine was similar to drinking water, Zhang Hao really couldn't drink it after drinking so many two meals.

In fact, Zhang Fei also wanted to continue drinking, but now that the four of them have been registered, and they will go to the stadium to report in three days, it is better to practice as soon as possible. Don't look at Zhang Fei as a rough person, he still knows the priorities.

As a local tyrant, it is now the era of Keju rampant, and Zhang Fei also built a Keju field in his manor.

So the four of them simply changed into light clothes and moved to the Keju field in Zhang Feizhuang.

Although Kemari is football, the rules of the game are naturally very different depending on the times. The Kemari court of this era was only the size of a large penalty area, and there was a ring more than two meters high at each end of the court as the goal of each side.

Due to the small size of the field, the number of participants in Kemari matches was also lower than in modern football. The highest level of the Dahan Keju League has seven players per team, five players in the next state league, and four players in the county league. This is also the origin of Zou Jing's saying that "at least four people should be in a team".

The game juju is made of rattan, which is slightly smaller than a modern soccer ball, and is extremely elastic, and can barely bounce after touching the ground. The ring, which is used as a goal, is about twice as large as Kemari.

Looking at the comparison between the size of the goal and the ball, you can see that the difficulty of Keju in this era, at least the difficulty of shooting, is much more difficult than modern football.

……

When they came to Keju Field, the four of them simply warmed up and began to practice.

It's just that after he started practicing, Liu Bei's face became more and more red.

Zhang Hao was a football specialty before the crossing, although the juju at this time is not the same as football, but Zhang Hao can also have fun.

Zhang Fei is a local tyrant, and there is such a juju field at home, so he usually uses juju to exercise his body, and his skills are naturally not to be said.

Although Guan Yu ran over all over after committing a murder, he also played Keju when he was young, and the second master's physical fitness was there, and his performance was so-so.

Only Liu Bei, when he was a child, he only liked to fight cocks and walk dogs, and when he was young, he followed Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi to learn cultural classes, and after graduation, he went home and opened a commissary, weaving mats and selling shoes to support his family, it can be said that he has never been in contact with Keju at all, so Liu Bei's skills can be imagined.

But among the four people, Liu Bei is still the eldest brother, but his eldest brother can't bow at all.

That's embarrassing!

Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both simple temperaments, and now that they are married again, they will not laugh at Liu Bei at all. Zhang Hao felt that the wheel of the history of the Three Kingdoms had just begun to turn, even if Liu Bei was a scumbag, he still had time to practice his skills, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

What's more, if it really follows the development of history, Liu Bei is going to travel through most of China, and Zhuojun is not even a Check-Point, so he won't be able to play Keju.

In this way, following Zhang Hao's knowledge popularization class, Uncle Liu Huang's Keju enlightenment class also began.

……

Three days later.

I have to say that Liu Bei is still very perceptive. After three days of temporary training, although the shooting is not yet expected, Liu Bei can at least be able to make a stable pass and receive the ball - after all, the Keju in this era is not elastic, and there will be no stop at the opponent's feet.

This day was the day to report, and the four of them had lunch early and walked to Zhuojun Keju Field.

Entering the stadium, the four found that they had nowhere to stand on the court, so they had to climb into the audience and find a place behind the last row of seats.

After doing all this, Zhang Hao began to look at the arena.

The audience seat where the four people are located is in the south, and there is no one in the audience seat in the north except for Liu Yan, Zou Jing and a team of personal soldiers, which is probably equivalent to a temporary rostrum. And the people standing in the venue, including the east, west, and south rows of spectators, are the people who have come to sign up for the Keju team in the past few days, about three or four hundred people.

It's just that, in Zhang Hao's opinion, the vast majority of people here are not very reliable, and the thin body is one thing, and there are still people who come with farm tools, which doesn't look like playing Keju.

Liu Yan on the "rostrum" obviously also discovered this, and after turning his head and saying a few words to Zou Jing, Zou Jing took two steps forward and said to everyone in the field: "If you are too orderly, those who are flat yellow scarves cannot be obtained if they are not brave and brave, so a special selection competition will be held to determine the eight strongest teams." The selection competition is subject to the county-level league, you need to form a four-person team each, if you already have a team, please register at the Northwest Corner Soldiers, if you don't have a team, you will be randomly assigned by the Taishou Mansion. After half an hour, the lottery will start to determine the opponents of the selection competition, so those who wish to register their teams are asked to register within half an hour. ”

After speaking, Zou Jing followed Liu Yan and left the rostrum.

……

After listening to Zou Jing's words, Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, greeted the other three, and got out of the audience to register for the team. Zhang Hao and the three observed their opponents in the audience.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Zhang Hao's mind, it turned out that his unreliable system had been repaired.

"The 'Soccer Master Ultimate System' has been repaired successfully, and all information has been initialized...... Scan the current world environment...... After the scan is finished, the current world introduction is generated, please go to the main interface of the system to view...... Scan for host properties...... After the scanning, the host's physical attributes are too low, and most of the current system functions cannot be used, and the system will start to automatically degrade, with an estimated downgrade time of 23 hours. ”

Zhang Hao: "......"

The systems in Mao's other novels are all upgraded, but this one of you is downgrading? !

What is "the host attribute is too low"?

Lao Tzu is also a football specialty, so don't you fall!

However, Zhang Hao fell for a long time, and the system did not respond at all, and Zhang Hao could only sulk by himself.

On the contrary, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei next to them, seeing that Zhang Hao's face was wrong, opened their mouths and asked, "Fourth brother, I see that your face is not good, what happened?" ”

Zhang Hao: "Ah...... It's okay, when I think of a bastard, my heart is blocked, and it will be fine in a while. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at Zhang Hao inexplicably, and continued to observe their opponents.

……

Half an hour later.

Liu Yan returned to the rostrum, Zou Jing followed behind with a wooden box, and then a master bookkeeper handed over a stack of rosters to Zou Jing.

Zou Jing flipped through the roster, then grabbed a paper ball from the wooden box, unfolded it and glanced at it, and said: "Team No. 1, Liu Tian, Wang Zhi, Yang Huai, He Jing, the first day, Shen Shi, the second game." ”

Then he grabbed a paper ball again and said, "Team two...... Day 3, Hour 1. ”

……

"Team 27, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Hao, the second day, at noon, the second game."

……

"The trials start at the end of today, that is, in two quarters of an hour, the teams for the first day of the competition just read are ready, and the others can stay and watch the game, or they can leave early, but remember to participate in the competition on time, and those who are late for a stick of incense will be regarded as abstaining."
