After several days of preparation, Zhao Hao and Gongzi Gao couldn't wait to lead their troops, together with Gongzi Liang, Gongzi Ronglu, Gongzi Jianglu, and several hundred people, and marched out of Xianyang in a mighty manner and headed straight for the Lantian camp.
There is a spacious Cuju field there, which is specially used for the soldiers of Qin Dynasty to play.
But many times, plans fail to keep up with changes. When they arrived at the Cuju field, Zhao Hao was shocked to find that it was already occupied by a group of veterans, and the leader was Wang Jian, who had returned to Xianyang from Chu.
Turning his head, he cast his gaze on Young Master Gao and whispered, "Didn't you say that this place is reserved? Why is there anyone else coming in?"
"this"
Young Master Gao hesitated for a moment and said: "General Wang rarely goes out. I don't know why he came to Lantian. Besides, there are so many veteran generals!"
"Then what should we do now?" Gong Ziliang stepped forward and asked.
"What else can we do? Change the place! Could it be that we still fight against them?" Young Master Ronglu sneered.
"How about I go up and talk to them and ask them to accommodate us?" Young Master Jiang Lu said with a frown.
"Forget it, let's change places!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand, not wanting to get entangled with these veterans, so he prepared to take people away.
At this moment, Wang Jian's powerful voice suddenly came: "Master Hao, why don't you come and salute me when you see me? Could it be that I know cannibalism?"
"Old General Wang was joking, Hao was just passing by, Hao is polite!"
Zhao Hao grinned when he heard Wang Jian's voice, then turned around and saluted him.
In the entire Qin Dynasty, the only one who dared to speak to the prince in this tone was the old general Wang Jian.
After all, this old general, even the First Emperor gave him three points of disapproval, not to mention the "white body" princes like himself who had no achievements and no titles.
Take another look at the group of people around Wang Jian. Good guys, all of them have high status. They are all marquises with outstanding merits.
I'm afraid even Wang Jian can't bring these people together. If you think about the person who knows the new style of Cuju, it must be his father, the First Emperor.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hao knew that he would definitely not be able to change places. He could only take the four royal brothers and step forward to salute the generals.
"Hao, Gao, Liang, Ronglu, Jianglu, I have met all the generals!"
"I will pay my respects to you gentlemen."
"Your Majesty is right in front, gentlemen, please follow me!"
It was Ying Teng who spoke.
He was the leader of the clan and was a famously cold-faced general. He would not give face to anyone except the First Emperor.
Even Zhao Hao is no exception.
"Thank you, Zong Zheng."
Zhao Hao also understood at this moment that Ying Zheng had always been aware of his movements.
If not for this, it would be impossible for Ying Zheng to appear on the Cuju field at Lantian Camp by such a coincidence.
Moreover, looking at the attire of these veterans, it is obvious that they are well prepared. Are they planning to play a friendly match with us?
Isn't this a joke? If we really play, these veterans will probably eat up their seats!
With worries in their hearts, Zhao Hao and Young Master Gao came to Ying Zheng anxiously.
"My son has met my father!"
The five brothers saluted Ying Zheng in unison.
Ying Zheng had no expression on his face and said coldly: "Why did you bring so many people to Lantian?"
"Um?"
Zhao Hao and the other five were suddenly startled, thinking, what is going on?
This is a bit dangerous to ask!
It makes us look like we are rebelling!
However, if you think about it, this Lantian Camp is an important military area, and the people he leads are guards.
If you look into it more deeply, it's a bit like treason.
Like a fart!
Turn the table over!
Didn't you agree to let me hold the ball game?
What does it mean to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand?
Just when Zhao Hao felt aggrieved, Young Master Gao hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Reporting to the emperor, my sons and ministers have developed a new type of Cuju in recent days. Let's come here to play together today."
They are indeed brothers!
This realization of taking over the pot is so touching!
Zhao Hao, Gong Ziliang and others looked at each other, and in their hearts they elevated the young master's status to an infinite level.
"New style of Cuju? What kind of new style of Cuju requires you to carry clothes and armor?"
Before Ying Zheng could ask again, Meng Yi on the side asked.
There was an inexplicable emotion flashing through his eyes when he asked.
"this"
Young Master Gao was speechless and turned to look at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao scratched his head and didn't know how to explain the rugby equipment, so he said with a tangled face, "How about I have someone demonstrate it and you guys can take a look?"
"That's right!"
Without waiting for the others to express their opinions, Ying Zheng waved his hand and immediately agreed to Zhao Hao's request.
He had long wanted to see the new Cuju organized by Zhao Hao.
The weather was very good today. After leaving the court, he planned to go hunting with the generals in Shanglinyuan. However, as soon as he left the city, he heard that Zhao Hao had taken hundreds of people to the Lantian camp, and his eyelids twitched.
If he hadn't known that Zhao Hao was organizing a new Cuju competition recently, he would have doubted whether this kid was going to defect from Xianyang and establish himself as king.
Fortunately, as expected, this kid is here to play.
However, he had never seen these armors before. Even the armors captured on the battlefield had never appeared in this style.
Not long after, the people brought by Zhao Hao gathered at the venue as he requested.
Ying Zheng and the generals looked at the heavily armed players with confusion on their faces.
"Old general, have you seen this before?" Ying Zheng looked at the players on the field with confusion, then turned to Wang Jian beside him and asked.
"This kind of armor with broad shoulders is not like the equipment of heavy cavalry. I have never heard of any kind of soldiers wearing this kind of armor!"
Wang Jian pondered and shook his head: "It doesn't seem like combat armor!"
"This armor is too closed, even covering most of the face. Wouldn't it affect the transmission of orders and line of sight?"
Nanyang Hou Duhe also expressed his doubts: "Moreover, this armor only has the upper body and no lower body. How to protect it?"
"I'm afraid this is Young Master Hao's original armor," Ying Teng said expressionlessly.
Feng Jie pursed his lips in contempt and said, "I think it's just nonsense!"
"Why are you doing this?" Du He frowned and said, "Young Master learned all the art of war from Guo Wei. Do you think Guo Wei's art of war is not good?"
"When did I say that Guo Wei's military skills are no longer good?"
Hearing Du He's words, Feng Jie's eyes widened immediately, and he was about to retort when he suddenly saw Ying Zheng wave his hand: "Stop arguing, just watch if you don't understand!"
I saw Zhao Hao giving an order, and the players from both sides quickly formed a confrontation. Like bulls ready to go, they sprinted forward, and then made a 'bang bang bang' collision sound.
The generals witnessed with their own eyes that a certain player in black armor was pushed hard into the air by an opponent's player with his shoulders on his waist and abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, he was directly pressed to the ground.
The man looked very strong, weighing at least 150 or 60 kilograms. With the weight of the armor, he weighed at least 300 kilograms.
Such a weight pressed down on him, making a "bang" sound that even shook the stands.
Such a fierce impact made even Ying Zheng take a breath. Even if the opponent was also wearing armor, facing such a violent impact, he would probably not die or be seriously injured.
However, before he could stop him, the downed player stood up and continued running as if nothing happened.
This not only shocked Ying Zheng, but also Wang Jian and other veterans' eyes lit up.
"What an amazing piece of armor! I didn't expect it to have such powerful protective power!"
Wang Jian said with emotion: "I understand, those shoulders are so wide because they use armor as weapons!"
"Hahaha, you are indeed worthy of the old general. You can see the secret at a glance." A general laughed and complimented.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, raised his eyebrows at Ying Teng and said, "What, do you see any clues?"
"Did not see it!"
Ying Teng shook his head, and then showed a rare smile: "But it seems quite enjoyable!"
"I also think it's quite enjoyable."
Feng Jie said, turned to look at Du He, and said provocatively: "How about we go up and try?"
"Just try it!"
When Du He heard this, he was naturally unwilling to be outdone.
Then, they heard Zhao Hao's shout: "What are you doing! Leave the field quickly!"
As the two rushed into the field rashly, the scene was chaotic. A certain player in black armor who was running backwards accidentally bumped into Feng Jie and knocked him out of the field.
"Old Feng!"
Du He was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Feng Jie.
Ying Zheng and others' expressions also changed, and they all walked towards Feng Jie.
Feng Jie sat up from the ground with his teeth bared and cursed, "It hurts so damn much. What is this armor made of? Why is it so hard!"
"Are you OK?"
Zhao Hao quickly stepped forward to ask Feng Jie.
Feng Jie shook his head: "It's nothing serious, it's just a dislocated arm."
"." Zhao Hao was speechless, and then glared at the player who bumped into Feng Jie: "Didn't I tell you? On the court, you have to watch all directions and listen to all directions."
"Don't blame him, it's all my fault."
Feng Jie interrupted Zhao Hao, and then asked curiously: "Young master, this new style of Cuju is quite skillful. Why does it look like a military drill? Do you dare to ask if it was taught by Guo Wei?"
"What kind of military drill?"
Zhao Hao was stunned by Feng Jie's question.
At this time, Ying Zheng, Wang Jian and others rushed over.
"Feng Qing, how are you?"
Ying Zheng stepped forward, asked Feng Jie concernedly, and then scolded Zhao Hao fiercely: "You traitor, look at the good deeds you have done!"
"I"
Zhao Hao opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Feng Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it's none of your business, it's all the old minister's fault."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a stinging pain. He turned around and saw Ying Teng repositioning his arm.
"Crazy Teng! Damn it, can you say hello before you attack?!"
Feng Jie was so angry at Ying Teng's violent treatment that he cursed.
Ying Teng glanced at him and said coldly: "When you become a censor, you have become more delicate. A small injury is just here to grind away, delaying everyone from watching the game!"
"I"
Feng Jie was so angry at Ying Teng's words that he wanted to get up and fight with him.
At this moment, Wang Jian suddenly said: "Master Hao, can you explain the rules to us?"
"no problem."
Seeing that Feng Jie was fine, Zhao Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said to the generals: "The rules of this new Cuju are very simple. First of all, players on both sides need to wear protective gear, which is the player equipment you see!"
"Secondly, in a field that is 30 feet long and 30 feet wide, players from the two teams line up in a row, maintain a half-crouching posture, and charge face to face!"
"Finally, the game is divided into two halves. If the first half is Team A's attack time, then Team A will hold the ball, rush to Team B's defensive area, and push the ball as deep as possible into Team B's defensive area. Place!"
"A head-on collision or even a hug is allowed!"
"In addition, the main strategy of the new Cuju is to advance with the ball. As long as the ball is advanced to a certain area, even if it is knocked to the ground by the opponent's player, the next kick-off position will be in that area!"
At this point, seeing the generals in a fog, Zhao Hao raised his hand and pointed to the marking line he had drawn, and said: "For example, if the Black-A team advances to the second defense zone of the Red-A team, then where will the next kick-off be? , is in the second defense zone, and deeper is the third defense zone. The distance advanced each time will also be accumulated into points, for a total of three attacks!"
"Strictly speaking, there are no points for advancing to the first defense zone, but five points and ten points for advancing to the second and third defense zones respectively, and so on!"
"How many defense zones are there in total?" Wang Jian couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Hao replied: "There are six defense zones in total, but there are actually only five defense zones, because the sixth defense zone is a touchdown, similar to the old-fashioned Cuju shooting!"
"Then how many points will you get if you complete the touchdown?" Ying Zheng also asked curiously.
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "It is very difficult to complete a touchdown, so generally the team that completes the touchdown can win, and the score for the touchdown is thirty points!"
"I see."
After listening to this, all the generals looked at each other, and then said in unison: "This new style of Cuju really does hide the art of war!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was confused and thought, "Why don't I know?"
But Feng Jie said again: "I said my vision is not wrong. This so-called stadium is obviously a battlefield!"
"The players on both sides are actually facing each other. The defense zone behind them is the country. Every time the opponent attacks the city, it means the country is lost!"
Zhao Hao: "." You are such a damn talent!
"Your Majesty, I think this new style of Cuju can be used to train military talents!" Wang Jian said solemnly. ,
Zhao Hao: "." Stop making trouble, okay? This is my money-making game!
"That's right, every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, the generals trained by our Great Qin must not give up an inch of territory!"
Du He nodded excitedly, then pointed to the field and said: "This first defense zone is like the border of our Great Qin. Even if the opponent rushes in, the damage will not be great, so no points will be counted;
But the second defense zone is a border county. Once it is breached by the opponent, it will suffer heavy losses, so the points are calculated from the second defense zone."
"If the opponent attacks the fifth defense area, it will be equivalent to going deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong. Our Great Qin will be in danger. The sixth defense area after that is like our Xianyang capital. If the capital is breached, our Great Qin will be destroyed!"
Zhao Hao: "." I'm really convinced by you, you idiot. What are you talking about?
Hearing the word 'subjugation', Ying Zheng's expression became extremely solemn, and the way he looked at Zhao Hao changed. He thought to himself, is this kid looking at me?
