Chapter 326 Liubo and Horse Racing

The pot throwing game ended quickly, and Liu Zhang won the first place.

The jade group is his, and Li Ling saw him perform so well.

I had to make him admire, although it was only a small game.

This tests the participants' psychological quality, observation ability, and throwing strength, and the game of pot throwing is skillful.

Only Li Ling and Liu Zhang performed the best in this game, and everyone was looking forward to who would perform better in the next few games.

"What other game do you want to play?"

Wei Yan saw that the Zhihu game was over so soon, and everyone didn't seem to be happy.

"Then let's play Liubo." Liu Zhengchen proposed.

Liubo is also a game that everyone likes to play, and the difficulty of playing Liubo is slightly higher.

Everyone nodded in agreement, they were good at this game.

Playing Liubo depends on luck, and it also depends on the technique of casting dice.

Six Bo is divided into big Bo and small Bo, Big Bo uses six chopsticks, and Small Bo uses two cocoons.

In this era, the six games are mainly big games, and the most games you eat are wins.

This is also a very popular board game in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also very popular with nobles.

Liubo is a bit similar to Monopoly, and Wei Yan brought a lot of game tools this time.

Wei Yan asked his entourage to bring the Liubo chessboard, and Han said that he wanted to play against Liu Zhang.

"Honghou, can you have a six-game with you?"

"Then let's go head-to-head."

No matter who challenges Liu Zhang, he will do his best to fight.

Although it is a small game, he wants to defeat the challenger.

Seeing that they were still looking down on him, Wei Yan's entourage set up the Liubo chessboard.

The two sit opposite each other and start the game according to the gameplay of Liubo.

The two of them often play this kind of game, and they can be regarded as masters of playing Liubo.

Liu Zhang threw the dice first, the dice material is pottery, and the dice is black throughout.

The dice is engraved with red dots, and it feels a little heavy in your hand.

Liu Zhang threw first, and the dice was six points upward, which was the largest point.

Han said that if he invested four points, he would take four steps, temporarily two steps behind Liu Zhang.

After a while, Liu Zhang first captured the opponent's chess pieces.

Han said that he caught up later, and he deserved to be a master of the Liubo game.

It's not just a test of personal proficiency. There is also a test of luck.

Liu Zhang's luck and skills are relatively high, and it is still a little stressful to meet Han Shuo to fight.

Time passed minute by minute, and Liu Zhang had three more chess pieces in his hand than the opponent.

It's hard to say whether he can win Han Shuo or not, but the other nobles present hope that he can defeat Liu Zhang.

If he is allowed to win in various games, they feel so shameless.

A six-game drama lasted for half an hour, and in the end, Liu Zhang won by a narrow margin.

"Congratulations on your victory! I also learned a lot from this six-game play. ”

Han said congratulations to Liu Zhang for winning the game, he has played against so many people.

He won more and lost less, and he also expected that Liu Zhang was a master of six games.

"I only have one left, it's really a narrow victory, and you're also very powerful."

Looking at the last chess piece left in his hand, he was almost eaten by the opponent.

Others play Liubo soon to end, and the game between masters takes a long time.

"Is it time for horse racing?"

Liu Zhang hoped that the horse race would end early and return to the city before the city gates were closed.

Otherwise, they would have to spend the night outside, and they would delay going to work tomorrow.

It's not good to be late, most of the nobles present are unemployed.

Of course, there is no fear of being punished for being late, and they can also play all night.

Liu Zhang can't do it, Shang Fang has strict rules.

He could only finish the meeting before the gates were closed.

"Horse racing can start, you can pick a horse to race. You can ride a horse yourself or have someone take your place. ”

The rules of this game are quite good, and some nobles are young.

At the very least, there may be an accident, and the nobles who came to the party brought an entourage.

They can have their retinue instead of the racehorse, which has a stake.

There are three races in total, and each participating nobleman can choose three horses.

"This horse race is different from the past, and in order to increase the fun of horse racing, we will have a relay race today."

Everyone else agrees that horse racing in the past was about speed.

It is a test of a horse's endurance and speed, and the rules of this race have been slightly adjusted.

Most of the nobles decided to let their retinue ride to the designated position and hand over the flag in their hands to the next retinue.

The attendant will gallop and hand it over to the next person in the shortest possible time.

Liu Zhang came to the party and did not bring his entourage with him.

Only Zhao Ci and Liu Zhengchen followed, if according to the rules of horse racing.

Either the three of them personally participated, or they selected the retinue of other nobles to help.

"You came in a bit of a hurry, and you didn't bring an entourage, you can choose three from my retinue."

Wei Yan asked Liu Zhang to choose the entourage around him, and the chosen entourage would definitely try their best to participate in the competition.

"Alright then, I'll pick three from your entourage."

Liu Zhang didn't say anything superfluous, lest they think he didn't trust him.

Wei Yan has not yet arranged for his entourage to participate in his horse race, and will wait for Liu Zhang to finish picking.

"You must do your best to help the red monkeys participate in horse races."

Wei asked them not to let the contestants he sent out, otherwise it would not be fair and just.

It may make Liu Zhang unhappy, and he will not come to their party in the future.

Of course, the entourage will listen to the guard's orders, if they deliberately slow down during the horse race.

Let Wei Yan take the lead for a while, and he may be scolded after the game.

You must know that following Wei Qing's father and son, it is really promising.

Even if it is a slave, as long as he follows Wei Qing to fight against the Huns.

If you can get more or less credit, then you can become a free man.

If you're lucky, you'll even get a lower knighthood.

They certainly don't cheat in this horse race, and they don't want to lose big because of a small one.

Wei asked Liu Zhang to choose three retired war horses, although these war horses could not continue to go to the battlefield.

But it can be used as a means of transportation, and these war horses are also treated well.

The other nobles felt that Wei Yan was too good to Liu Zhang, and asked him to give priority to people and horses.

Then in the next horse race, his chances of winning are even greater.

Liu Zhang came to a few horses, and he only picked one high-grade war horse.

The other two were medium-grade, and there were two high-grade war horses left for the guard.

Since Wei Yan is so kind, Liu Zhang also wants to leave him two war horses that can get good results.

"I'll just pick these three, and the three of them will race the horses."

Liu Zhang selected three people with medium height, and the equestrian skills of the three of them should not be bad.

The other nobles had already arranged the men and horses to take part, and they were confident of their victory.

If it weren't for Wei Yan lending his best horse to Liu Zhang, it would definitely not be a problem for him to win the first place.

This time, the bet was fifty pounds of gold, which was worth half a million dollars.

This money is a drop in the bucket for the nobles, and this time Liu Zhang did not bring enough gold.

Of course, you can borrow money from other nobles, and Liu Zhengchen personally borrowed money from Wei Yan.

"We came in a hurry and didn't bring enough gold. I will borrow a little from you, and when I return to the city, I will send for you to return the gold. ”

Liu Zhengchen had money, and Dong Yan met by chance in their new mansion.

If they went to Princess Pingyang's mansion to invite Liu Zhang and them, they would be well prepared.

"I brought a lot of gold this time, you can borrow as much as you want."

Wei Yan also blamed Dong Yan a little bit, invited people over, and didn't let them get ready.

Isn't this a joke for others to see Liu Zhang, which really hurts his self-esteem.

"There is a bet on horse racing, and I hope that in the future we will not be invited to parties in a hurry and have nothing to prepare."

Liu Zhengchen was a little unhappy, didn't this embarrass Liu Zhang.

"Lord Liu Weng, this time I didn't think it through, please forgive me."

Dong Yan apologized to Liu Zhengchen, and he was willing to lend her money.

"I'll borrow a hundred gold, I think the rules of this horse race are a bit boring. Since you made it, it would be a waste of time to change it. ”

This kind of horse racing is meaningless, but these nobles like to play.

"Next time there's a horse race, you can help us make the rules and make it more fun."

Wei decided to change the rules of horse racing next time to make horse racing more fun.

"Next time, I'm sure Zhang will be far ahead this time."

Liu Zhengchen said in front of everyone that as long as the person who competed with him.

will definitely lose, Dong Yan suddenly called Liu Zhang and them over.

This is not please, I didn't attend his banquet last night.

Let Dong Yan be unhappy, and take a small revenge on Liu Zhang in this way.

Liu Zhengchen didn't care about him, because Liu Zhang didn't care anymore.

The entourage carried a hundred catties to Liu Zhang's side, and a bet was fifty gold.

Liu Zhengchen also bet fifty gold, and later, he won their bet.

It feels good to be angry in this way, and I hope they won't be able to afford to lose by then.
