It's just that what Zhang Hao and the four didn't expect was that the yellow turbans were even more shameless than they thought. Cheng Yuanzhi's team finished their part early, and was the first to break into the finals, and then began to rest. Then the second yellow turban team was the same as Cheng Yuanzhi, all the way to the finals with a score of 1:0. And until this time, Zhang Hao and they didn't start a game.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao hurriedly looked at a few teams that did not play, and after calculating it, he suddenly found that today's situation was far less optimistic than he thought.

Now, apart from the four of themselves, there are only three civilian teams left. According to the competition system, the 24 teams participating in the competition today are divided into three groups, and the first place in each group is determined by a knockout round, and then these three teams will play a round-robin match to determine the first place. Originally, Zhang Hao thought that the knockout stage was a round by round competition, but he didn't expect these people in the Yellow Turban to change to a group of competitions.

Originally, this was nothing, but now half of the Yellow Turban team in his own group is here, and the Yellow Turban's approach is obviously aimed at himself. So the next thing can be imagined, every game between the four of them from now on, they will definitely face the Yellow Turban team until they meet Cheng Yuanzhi in the final. In this way, their side has been competing, but Cheng Yuanzhi and they have been resting, not to mention the difference in physical strength, when it comes to the finals, it is the same thing whether they have the physical strength to compete or not.

Just when Zhang Hao saw through the Yellow Turban conspiracy, a little minion came over and said, "It's getting late today, and the rest of the game will be played tomorrow, let's go back." ”

Hearing that there was no competition today, Zhang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, now there is still one night to think about countermeasures, otherwise he will finish all the games today, and he really has no good way.

……

Back in the house where the four lived, Zhang Hao told the other three about his thoughts.

Zhang Fei was as angry as ever, and he was about to rush out to find trouble with those yellow scarves when he stood up, but this time he didn't need Zhang Hao to remind him, Guan Yu took the initiative to stop Zhang Fei: "Third brother, listen to what the fourth brother has to say first." ”

And Liu Bei on the side, in the face of this kind of big right and wrong, also temporarily put aside his unilateral personal grievances against Zhang Hao, and said: "What the fourth brother said is indeed very possible, fourth brother, do you have any way?" ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said slowly: "I do have some ideas...... Big brother, your current skills, although you can't count on offense, can also attract defenders. Second brother, I saw you start practicing shooting before, how did you practice? ”

Guan Yu thought for a while and said, "It's definitely not okay to enter six or seven at a time like the third brother, but it's okay to have one or two, two or three." ”

After getting Guan Yu's answer, Zhang Hao calculated, and then said: "We have a total of five games to play, including three rounds of knockout rounds, and two round-robin matches after entering the finals. If the second brother can act as an attack point, plus the eldest brother and I attract defense, the third brother doesn't have to make any effort in the knockout round, as long as we make sure we don't lose. ”

"In this case...... Guan Yu thought for a while, and said: "Even if I don't have the physical strength to reach the finals, I only need to defend in the backcourt." And even if the third brother fights two games in a row, he can ensure that he has enough physical strength to attack, and the fourth brother, you and the eldest brother's physical strength don't need to worry, so our chances of winning are still very good. ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "That's right, and you also know that I've been practicing shooting recently, which is also a killer feature." It's just that we fight like this, won't we be too aggrieved......"

"Aggrieved?" Guan Yu was slightly puzzled.

"Yes," Zhang Hao explained, "Those people in the Yellow Turban are so blocking us, we still have to use such a conservative way of playing." I don't win a few more of them, I always feel very unhappy! ”

Knock knock~!

A knock on the door interrupted Zhang Hao's emotion, and the four of them couldn't help but look at each other, unable to think of who would come to him in such a place.

Zhang Hao, who couldn't figure it out, stepped forward to open the door, and found that the person at the door was a little familiar, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Are you ......?" ”

The man at the door did not answer Zhang Hao's words, but looked left and right first, and after finding that there was no one around, he flashed into the house and closed the door, and then said: "Brother Zhang only saw me during the day, could it be that he forgot it now?" ”

Daytime?

Zhang Hao tried to think about it for a while before he remembered that this person was one of the three civilian teams that had not yet competed, but he didn't know what he was doing here.

"Brother Tai is here ......?"

Hearing Zhang Hao's question, the man said with a straight face: "I am a county lieutenant in Daxing County, and I was transferred from the Zhuo County Juju team three months ago, and secretly infiltrated the Daxing County Wild Ball Tournament to find out information and prepare for this imperial court encirclement and suppression.

Originally, the imperial court sent a Zhonglang general over this time, but it is said that this lord was dragged by another team of yellow turbans in Guangzong, so at present, only me and the four of you are here. Just now, Liu Taishou has sent a fast horse to send me a message, asking me to listen to your dispatch in this wild ball game. ”

After listening to the county lieutenant's words, Zhang Hao reacted. I have been wondering before, I said that the imperial court would give the four of me a certain amount of "help", but until now there is no trace, it turns out that he was dragged halfway.

Nakaro will ...... According to the record of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", could it be Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi? But then again, I have already seen the juju skills of the three "generals" of Liu Guanzhang, and I really want to see how a civilian official like Lu Zhi plays football......

Turning his mind back to the topic, Zhang Hao asked the county lieutenant, "I wonder if Brother Tai can know about Cheng Yuanzhi?" Are your teams sure of defeating his team? ”

The county lieutenant thought for a while and said: "Cheng Yuanzhi seemed to be the captain of a county-level juju team in Qingzhou before, and it is said that his strength is not bad, much stronger than the ordinary county-level juju team. If it was me and my former teammates, it would not be a problem to win them, but now in order to hide people's eyes, my three teammates are all temporarily transferred from the county government of Linxian County, so ...... I'm sorry. ”

"In that case...... What about the other Yellow Turban teams? ”

"The rest of the normal teams are fine."

"Then ......" Zhang Hao said again about the situation of the four of them being surrounded by yellow scarves, and then said: "So if you can win the other teams, we should meet in the second or third round of the knockout round, and I hope you can give us a break for the game at that time." ”

"Well, no problem, then the finals will be up to you!"

"Okay, thank you brother!"

"Brother Zhang, don't thank you, you and I are both working for the imperial court. I'm not going to stay here for too long, so I'll say goodbye and we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

When the county lieutenant left quickly, Zhang Hao turned his head and smiled at the other three: "Since we have the help of the imperial court, I think we can kill him a few times tomorrow!" ”
