Chapter 209: The Death of the Handsome
Li Zhen and his other polo players were in high spirits and asked together, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but the exact news is that Li Chongrun is not in the Fangzhou polo team today, and there is no him in the playing list, and a person named Wei Song is on the field, who is Wei Bo's brother. ”
Di Yan couldn't help laughing, "This team is very interesting, there are actually two pairs of brothers, Li Shougong and Li Shouping, and now there are Wei Bo and Wei Song, and only one Li Yuan is left to fight in the front army." This news really made Li Zhen feel excited, he was a little worried because Zhang Li was injured and the deployment was affected, but he didn't expect that something happened to the other party, and the main general Li Chongrun was actually gone, which was simply God favoring them.
Li Zhen smiled at everyone: "Li Chongrun is not here, it must be Li Yuan as the main general, and the commander will be changed in battle, this is a taboo for soldiers, since God has given us a chance, we must win this game today and advance to the quarterfinals!"
The crowd was in high spirits, and they were eager to go to war immediately......
Li Chongrun's absence made Li Chongrun very passive, his prestige was far inferior to Li Chongrun, and he did not get a response from the rest of his teammates in the arrangement, and the polo players made their own adjustments, Li Shougong and Li Shouping brothers played in the middle army, and Wei Bo and Wei Song brothers played in the rear army, the reason is that this is more tacit understanding.
Although Li Shouping is too big and his movements are a little sluggish, he has been playing in the rear army, while Wei Song has a flexible body and a wider vision, which is more suitable for playing in the middle army, but his teammates did not listen to his layout and arranged it by himself, and Li Yuan was helpless.
Li Shougong and Li Shouping are the great-grandsons of Li Shentong and the grandsons of Li Xiaoyi, the former general of the Zhenjun Army.
Li Shougong and Li Shouping are brave by nature, and they both play polo very well, and this time they were invited by Li Chongrun to rush to Luoyang from Chang'an to participate in the polo competition.
Unexpectedly, Li Chongrun rushed back to Fangzhou overnight last night, and the follow-up game did not have time to explain clearly, so Li Yuan took it upon himself to take over as the main general, and Li Yuan is usually proud of his skills, and he does not get along well with everyone, and everyone is not convinced that he is the main general, especially Li Shougong and Li Shouping brothers will not listen to his command.
With the sound of a gong, the two teams launched a fierce competition, which was a crucial battle for the top eight, everyone went all out, the fighting spirit was high, and the competition on the court was extremely exciting and fierce. More than 30,000 people have gathered around the audience, drums are shaking, flags are flying, and everyone is shouting hoarsely to cheer for the two teams.
Di Yan and her grandmother, Mrs. Di, sat next to the camp in the northeast corner, which was a special place for the players to rest and change their clothes, surrounded by a fence, and the army stood guard, and no idlers were allowed to enter, because Di Yan had a token given to her by Li Zhen, she and her grandmother were given preferential treatment, and they did not have to huddle together with others to watch the game.
But Di Yan was a little uneasy, she secretly looked at a group of people to the north from time to time, where were Li Quan and Zhao Qiuniang's apprentices, they were the head snakes, dozens of people occupied a large open space, beating gongs and drums, waving flags, Li Quan, Wang Qingyu and Zhao Qiuniang's group of female apprentices huddled together, desperately waving flags and shouting, cheering for Li Zhen.
Di Yan had an indescribable feeling in her heart, in fact, she also hoped to join their team and huddle together with everyone lively, not as lonely as she is now, but there was a king over there whispering, Di Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
At this time, everyone on the field was excited, Mrs. Di was even more nervous and grabbed her granddaughter's wrist, stretched her neck to look at Li Zhen on the field, Di Yan was also attracted by the confrontation on the field, only to see Li Zhen get rid of Li Shouping's interception, hit the polo lightly, and galloped on the horse, Li Yuan shouted angrily: "Catch up, don't give him a chance to shoot!"
Li Zhen has entered the sixty steps shooting area, he has a side of the horse, shook Wei Bo who intercepted him, and continued to gallop, Wei Song was shocked, urged the horse to catch up, and sealed the angle of his shot, only to see Li Zhen lightly knock on the side, the polo flew to the right side of the gap area, and the long-awaited Xiaoye longitudinal horse rushed up, and a strong shot thirty steps away, the polo entered the net.
The surrounding audience suddenly thundered with joy, polo has always belonged to a lofty sport, only the army and nobles have the conditions to train, and civilians can only play the role of spectators, and civilian masters like Xiao Ye are rare.
Because of this, he is known to everyone in the Nanshi area, and most of the fans watching the game today are civilians in the vicinity, at this time, Xiao Ye opened the record, which made countless people excited, jumping and shouting, as if celebrating their victory.
Li Yuan was extremely angry, and rushed up and yelled at Li Shouping, "You are not a rear army, you can't intercept him, you have to stick to him, do you understand!"
Li Shouping was furious, he had a violent personality, only because Li Xian was kind to his grandfather when he was the crown prince, he and his brother agreed to Li Chongrun's invitation to come to Luoyang to participate in the polo match.
How could Li Shouping allow him to reprimand himself, he was just about to do it, but his brother Li Shougong stepped forward and grabbed him, "Now that the infighting is being laughed at, let's talk about it after the game!"
The two brothers glared at Li Yuan angrily for a moment, and then they all turned their horses and dispersed, and the internal guards won the first place, and their morale was like a rainbow, and when the two teams regrouped and fought again, the shape gradually began to be unfavorable to the Fangzhou team.
First of all, Li Chongrun's departure guide zhì Jun was unstable, and the original cooperation with Li Chongrun as the center of the practice was abandoned, but the new plan was not taken out in time, and the cooperation between the guide zhì and them made repeated mistakes, either the ball passed over and no one answered, or the receiver arrived, but no ball came.
What's more important is that there is a mustard between Li Shouping and Li Yuan, the two do not pass the ball to him at all, the two brothers cooperate with themselves, take turns shooting, so that Li Yuan is tired, but nothing is gained, although Li Shougong took advantage of Li Zhen to replace Sun Zhi and unfamiliar with the opportunity to score a goal, but the general trend has gone, the field is just over halfway, and the internal guard team has already led by four goals.
"Gongzi Yuan, I don't know why Gongzi Chongrun left?" When the two horses were staggered, Li Zhen couldn't help but strangle the Qingyu war horse and asked Li Yuandao.
In this game, Li Zhen played boringly, the Fangzhou team was chaotic, and the advance and retreat were out of order, even the Xiangwang team they defeated in the first game was not as good, where was there still a little bit of the style of yesterday's victory over the strong Liangzhou team.
Although the individual ball skills are good, in the team sport of polo, no matter how good the individual ball skills are, it is useless, in the final analysis, it is because of Li Chongrun's departure.
Li Yuan was disheartened at this time, he boasted that he was unparalleled in riding and shooting, and his ball skills were grouped, but he first lost to Li Zhen in the martial arts, and in this game, Li Shouping and the two brothers did not pass the ball to him at all, no matter how good his ball skills were, they were useless.
"He received a letter yesterday and hurried back to Fangzhou, I don't know what's going on?" Li Yuan let out a long sigh, "Commander Li, I admit defeat in this game." ”
Li Zhen was puzzled in his heart, but he was not allowed to think about the reason at this time, he smiled and said, "No matter what, let's finish this game!"
Li Zhen nodded, turned the horse's head and ran forward, Li Zhen transferred troops again, replaced Chang Kuan and Li Linfu, and replaced Zhang Ran and Yao Xi.
There is still half an hour before the end of the game, but the overall situation has been decided, and this opportunity to use actual combat training as a substitute player is very rare, and he is really stupid not to take advantage of it.
The drums around the stadium were like thunder, the suona sound shook the sky, the audience's feelings were completely mobilized, waving battle flags, singing loudly, and many spectators also held hands and danced to the song, dancing and singing, and the love was very high.
At the last moment, Li Zhen went to the meeting alone, scored a goal to seal the victory with a strong shot forty steps away, the gong to end the game sounded, cheers resounded in the sky, and the internal guard team defeated the Fangzhou team with a disparity of seven to one, and took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals
Fangzhou, that is, the later generations of Fang County, Hubei Province, the Han Dynasty for Fangling County, subordinate to Jingzhou, to 'thousands of miles of vertical and horizontal, mountains and forests, its solid high tombs, if there are houses' name, the Tang Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, the population breeds, the prosperity of the times, Fangzhou despite the mountains and horizontal, but there are more than 20,000 households, 1230,000 people, in the Tang Dynasty belongs to Zhongzhou.
Eleven years ago, in the first year of Guangzhai, the young and ambitious prince Li Xian ascended the throne of the Tang Emperor, he was unwilling to be a puppet of his mother, and tried to seize the power of his mother Wu Zetian by relying on his cousin Wei, but as soon as the idea was there, the plan was not started, Wu Zetian preemptively abolished him, ousted him from the throne, changed the title of King Luling, and moved to live in Fangzhou.
The reason why Wu Zetian put Li Xian in Fangzhou is because Fangzhou is surrounded by mountains, and the middle river valley basin is broken, which is the famous trapped dragon bureau on the emperor's feng shui bureau.
Although Li Xian was moved to Fangzhou by his mother, Wu Zetian did not treat this son badly in life, Li Xian had a magnificent and spacious palace in Fangzhou, and sent hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs to serve, so that although Li Xian did not have the respect of the emperor, he still lived the same life as the emperor.
Wu Zetian's intention is very obvious, she hopes to use fine clothes and jade food and long years to polish away her son's ambitions.
Wu Zetian's clever skills obviously achieved his goal, and the long years of eleven years and the life of drunken gold fans did wear out Li Xian's ambition to govern the world, and he became decadent, addicted to wine, and left the country behind.
But on the other hand, he was gradually controlled by his wife Webster, and he was submissive in front of Webster, he was afraid of his wife from the bottom of his heart, and was controlled by Webster to be obedient, and made an oath to Webster more than once that he would "share the world with Qing".
This is also what Wu Zetian did not expect, in fact, she should have thought that her son Li Xian had just ascended the throne, and soon after he ascended the throne, he would promote his father-in-law Wei Xuanzhen, who was a small official in Bashu, to be the assassin of Yuzhou.
But Wu Zetian was smart, but she was confused for a while, she neglected Wei, at that time Weishi was already in labor, perhaps for the sake of this, Wu Zetian let Weishi go, but she never imagined that eleven years later, her son had completely become a puppet of her daughter-in-law Wei.
Wei took advantage of her mother's relationship to raise a secret samurai in Chang'an, these samurai acted as her eyes and ears, and found out all kinds of news for her, Xue Huaiyi was killed on the fourteenth day of the first month, and Wei knew about it through the flying pigeon the next day, and Wei immediately realized that there might be some kind of change in the imperial court.
She adopted a workaround, on the sixteenth night of the first lunar month, she invited the wives and daughters of local famous families in Fangzhou to come to Luling Palace to watch the lanterns, Wu Zetian did not allow Li Xian to make friends with local officials, but Wei Lian invited their wives and daughters, just in a kind of Cheng dù close to the bottom line, but there was no line crossing.
Webster's adventure was undoubtedly successful, she and her husband were not reprimanded in the slightest, and a few days later, Wu Zetian issued an edict agreeing to Li Xian's formation of a polo team to participate in a polo tournament in Luoyang, and Webster's heart was once again active
