Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Zhou Qing's words came out, he saw the Beiyi envoy slightly provocative: "The losing side ceded a hundred miles of land on the border, and gave it to the winning side, what does the emperor want?" ”

Emperor Zhou Qing's heart sank, and sure enough, the first few defeats in the martial arts made Beiyi, who was ambitious in the wolf, feel that the Great Zhou was weak.

At this time, if it should be lowered, judging from the previous few times, the probability of losing Da Zhou is as high as seventy percent.

If not, wouldn't it be a weakness in front of the four countries and tell them that the Great Zhou was cowardly.

Emperor Zhou Qing was in a dilemma for a while and hesitated.

The four kingdoms of Beiyi, Dongyin, Nanqing, and Western Qin were only neighbors of the Great Zhou, not subject countries.

When Taizu fought the country, it was once famous and loud all over the world.

At that time, the Four Kingdoms Zhou was worried every day, for fear that Taizu would bring someone to fight him.

But when Taizu pacified the Great Zhou, the people were affected by the long-term war, which led to the people's misery.

At that time, it was really not a good time to start another war, so even Taizu wanted to take advantage of this victory to further take down the surrounding four countries, but he had no choice but to use the remaining residual power to make a century-old alliance with the four countries.

Within a hundred years, no troops are allowed to be used against the Great Zhou!

When he first heard of this covenant, the emperors of the four kingdoms were furious and felt that Zhou Taizu was whimsical.

But Zhou Taizu's attitude was very tough, and he said that if they didn't agree, they would immediately wave over.

When Shikoku heard this, he immediately coaxed.

Although they would not necessarily lose the war, Zhou Taizu's army at that time was short of silver and food, and their country was peaceful.

As the so-called mourning soldiers will win, their army that has been calm for a long time will naturally not be able to defeat the Zhou army that has just been baptized by war.

Moreover, at that time, the territory of the Great Zhou was barren, and the people were struggling to make a living, in this case, it was really unprofitable, and it was not worth spending manpower and material resources to fight.

Moreover, once the war starts, the outcome is unpredictable, and if the surrounding three countries have any other thoughts, they will have to suffer from the enemy.

After several trade-offs, the emperors of the four countries had to pinch their noses and sign this hundred-year covenant.

But the emperors of the four kingdoms are not stupid, how can they be obediently suppressed by the Great Zhou for a hundred years.

Zhou Taizu is powerful, but what his descendants will be like, it is difficult to say, if they encounter one or two useless ones, it will be a great opportunity for them.

Therefore, the request of the four countries to hold a martial arts tournament every three years, called to connect feelings, is really a temptation.

Of course, Zhou Taizu knew their intentions, but his tough appearance was also pretended.

Who wants to have a good life, but if you don't fight to the death with others, you will lose both, according to the situation of Da Zhou at that time, you really won't necessarily win.

He was only gambling on Shikoku, and it had been peaceful for too long, and he didn't want to have more wars.

Pretending to be tough is just to shock the four countries and give Da Zhou a chance to breathe and recuperate.

Emperor Zhou Qing looked at the Beiyi envoy with sharp eyes, and was silent for a long time.

The envoys of Beiyi, who were stared at by Emperor Zhou Qing, were not stunned at all, and they already knew what the Great Zhou was like now.

Who told the first two emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty to do anything to emphasize literature and light military force, under their "wise" leadership, the native soldiers of the Great Zhou did not have the bloody nature of the original Zhou Taizu.

As for the leading generals, except for Mao Deming, the protector of the country, there are no available generals in the Great Zhou.

As long as the Great Zhou Emperor is unwilling to go to war, they have a way to provoke them to fight among themselves, and let them pull Mao Deming off the horse themselves.

The ambition in the eyes of the Beiyi envoys must be too dazzling, and Emperor Zhou Qing groaned slightly, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, I've got it."

This sentence, Emperor Zhou Qing said loudly.

Anyway, whether it should or shouldn't be can't stop Beiyi's coveting of the Great Zhou, since this is the case, it's better to be tough!

Retracting his gaze from Beiyi, Emperor Zhou Qing's sharp gaze swept over the envoys of the other three kingdoms.

"Envoys, do you want to be like Beiyi this year?"

The envoys of the three kingdoms looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they responded in unison: "Yes." “

Emperor Zhou Qing sneered in his heart, and his fists under his sleeves were clenched tightly.

He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Okay, that's the case, let's get started." ”

The contestants who are about to participate in the Great Week are all uncomfortable at this time.

They didn't expect that this year's lottery would turn into a land concession, and once they lost, they would become sinners of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xu Qingyan was also stunned at this time, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

The land was ceded and compensated, obviously because the four countries wanted to take advantage of this, and the soldiers would eat up the Great Zhou without blood.

When he lowered his head and thought about it, he heard the commander say: "The first game of foot archery is about to begin, please come out of the archer line." Then he explained the rules of the game.

Xu Qingyan listened to it and knew it in her heart.

The rules of the rifle shooting competition are very simple, Da Zhou and the four countries each send three people to fight, each with five arrows.

In the first game, standing 30 meters away, hitting the bullseye with an arrow and scoring one point, a total of five points.

In the second game, the arrow target moved to 50 meters away, and in addition to hitting the bull's-eye, he had to break the arrow in front of him.

In the third game, the target moves to a distance of 100 meters, and you must hit the heart before you can score points.

The total score of the three games adds up to fifteen points, and the three people who appeared in Da Zhou were Zhou Xinyi, the son of King Qing, Ge Shuqing, the grandson of Taishi, and Li Zhenghao, the son of King Mingjun.

The other four countries also sent their own people, and surprisingly, Beiyi sent a woman to fight.

And this woman is the lord of Erxiang who danced with Li Ningshan before.

In addition to everyone's surprise, they couldn't help but sink their hearts, since Beiyi dared to send her to fight, then this county lord must have some ability.

The bad thing is this, if the final score of the Great Zhou can't compare to her, wouldn't it make people laugh, the men of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not even as good as women.

When the hearts of the civil and military officials were on the side, Xu Qingyan's eyes lit up.

Xindao, since the lord of Erxiang County can represent Beiyi in the battle, doesn't it show that women can also participate.

If this is the case, in case Da Zhou is defeated, she will have to recommend herself, as a member of Da Zhou, she will not give up where she can contribute.

She could see the face of the Beiyi envoy clearly, if she really lost this time, after ceding the land, the Beiyi people would not only not be satisfied, but would likely directly disturb the border and start a war.

Under the nest, she has no eggs, she has relatives and friends in the Great Zhou Dynasty in this life, so no matter what, she can't let the Great Zhou be invaded by other countries.

After everyone stood still by the white line, the starter gave an order: "The first round of foot shooting....... Begin. “

As his words fell, several arrows flew in the field in an instant, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, and the thud of arrows hitting the grass target.

The first race was too simple, and all 15 participants scored perfect points, but it was just a warm-up game.

Then came the second scene, and I saw the palace people move the grass target back to fifty meters.

Not only does this game require hitting the bull's-eye, but the second arrow must break the first arrow, shoot through the second arrow every third arrow, and so on.

Until the five arrows are shot, there can only be one arrow left on the grass target heart, so the difficulty is more than two levels higher than the first game.

Zhou Xinyi and the three of them were holding bows and pulling strings at this time, ready to go. 2k reading web
