Unfortunately, it is a national-level competition, and it is related to the face of the Liang Dynasty.
Otherwise, Song Che would have to open a market on the outside and make a lot of money.
Chenshi.
Both sides of the competition lead their horses into the arena.
The prince joined the civil and military officials, princes and nobles on the stage to watch the game. The one sitting in the gauze tent was the "lucky winner" of this game, Princess Ningguo.
"Watching the game with so many royal ministers, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to do it in my dreams." Shen Wenjun sighed.
Song Che smiled and said, "Really?"
"Excuse me, who is Boss Song Che Song?" A young eunuch carrying a whisk came up and asked.
Song Che raised his hand slightly to indicate that it was me.
The young eunuch said: "Boss Song, His Royal Highness, please watch the game with your wife."
"Ah?" Shen Wenjun was flattered.
Since the prince invited him, he could not refuse. Song Che pulled Shen Wenjun and before leaving, he turned back and winked at Qin Ruo and Zhou Yazhao:
"I'm only going to take her, so don't be jealous."
"Go ahead, go ahead..." Qin Ruo smiled and waved her hands.
Liu Xiang'er hurriedly asked: "Brother-in-law, when you see His Highness the Crown Prince, remember to help me ask when can I be named 'Little County Lord'?"
Song Che's mouth twitched, she kept talking about this in her dreams.
"I went out today and I didn't put on any makeup. I had a plain face. How could I meet the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?" Shen Wenjun combed his hair, feeling inexplicably nervous.
"I'm just going to say hello, why do I need to dress up?"
Song Che walked to the stands hand in hand with Shen Wenjun.
A large tent was set up in the stands, and the prince and his concubine sat at the head of the table. The seats next to them were all civil servants and generals of the third rank or above of the court. There was an empty seat at the end, which was obviously for Song Che.
Song Che and Shen Wenjun entered the tent to pay tribute.
"Mr. Song, what do you think of today's match?" the prince asked with a smile.
Song Che replied: "Whatever the prince wants, it can be done."
The prince laughed loudly and said to the officials: "Look, this is the man who can talk."
Throughout the civil and military dynasties, there was appreciation and disdain.
The prince pointed to the last seat and said, "Take your seats. I hope the game you arrange will be more exciting than last year's Mid-Autumn Festival."
The game is about to begin.
The Daliang team was on the left, standing in a 'three-four-one' formation according to Song Che's arrangement last night; the Dijon team was on the right, with five people in front and three behind, and the gate was almost empty.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"This polo match is divided into two quarters, each quarter is two-quarters of an hour, and there is a quarter-of-an-hour intermission... As the saying goes, the visitor is a guest, and we, as a landlord, give up the ball to Dijon for the first time!"
The correction referee briefly reads the rules.
"Boom!"
As soon as the gong rings, the game begins!
Wanyan Lie struck hard and hit the ball more than ten feet away. Then he and the five main attackers in the front row rode forward to charge forward.
Jiang Yuntian and the other two main attackers quickly turned around to fight for the ball. However, in just half a second of turning around, the opponent had already rushed three to four feet away, and no matter how fast the horse was, they would definitely not be able to catch up.
Wanyan Lie hit the ball again with his second shot, and the ball flew forward another twenty feet. The rhythm seemed to be completely in his hands.
However, just when Dijon was about to compete for the third shot, the four central defenders of Daliang began to exert their strength, took the third shot before Dijon, and hit the ball back seven or eight feet.
The Dijon envoy, the guy who had been eating dates for free on the streets of Luoyang earlier, rushed to grab the fourth shot and then hit the ball back.
The central defender of the main beam did his part, breaking off the fifth shot and hitting it back.
During this time, he hit back and forth in the left half more than ten times, causing smoke and dust to fly in the sky, and the ball did not advance or retreat more than thirty feet.
The competition on the field was fierce, and the stands could not take their eyes away.
There is a saying that polo is much more confrontational and enjoyable than Cuju.
If the offensive team failed to score, it would be equivalent to failure. Gradually, Dijon's formation began to become chaotic, and everyone was eager to break through quickly. As a result, two teammates collided and caused an own goal because they failed to rein in the horse in time.
Liang Yifang won the ball again.
"Pass the ball to me!" Jiang Yuntian shouted loudly.
The polo field was more than five or six times larger than the football field, but Jiang Yuntian's shout could be heard clearly even in the stands.
"Whose subordinate is that young general wearing the white cherry helmet? A loud roar will make my heart surge!" the prince asked, pointing at Jiang Yuntian.
Gao Chen said: "Back to the crown prince, this man's name is Jiang Yuntian, and he is the commander of the Taizhou Ma Bu Army. He joined the army last year, broke through three passes at Longkou Port, killed more than a thousand Japanese pirates, and led the troops to break up the Ma family. Zhuang was engaged in hunting down traitors for the country, and he personally captured the great pirate Wang Zhizheng. This time, General Jiang came to the capital in response to your Majesty's summons, and he will be waiting for his conferment at court this year."
"Oh?" The prince praised: "I never thought that in our country, there would be such a brave man. He is really a talented general!"
"hehe……"
An old man with a green beard sitting in the left seat sneered: "With one person's power, kill a thousand Japanese pirates? If you want to favor this person, you don't have to be so grandiose, right? These thousand people will be destroyed just by killing them." He has great strength, not to mention he has to lead his troops to break through the barrier."
"Master Wang, what do you mean by this? The frontline military supervisor inspected and saw the military exploits with his own eyes, how can he exaggerate and make false reports?" Gao Chen asked loudly.
The green-bearded old man still sneered: "The Crown Prince has not seen what happened on the front line, and neither has His Majesty. With just a few words, who can be sure whether it is true or not? Anyway, you are in charge of military and government affairs, so whatever you say will be whatever it is."
"you--"
"enough!"
The prince scolded: "Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't quarrel when we meet? How can you let me watch the game?"
Gao Chen pointed to the playing field and said to the green-bearded old man: "Whether Jiang Yuntian is brave or not can be seen on the playing field!"
Look at that arena again——
The central defender who won the ball hit Jiang Yuntian with a stick. Before the ball hit the ground, Jiang Yuntian swung in the air and hit the ball fifty or sixty feet away. The ball drifted in the left half for nearly a quarter of an hour. , finally flew to the right half.
"Qin Xian! Zhang Meng!"
Jiang Yuntian waved at the other two main attackers.
Qin Xian and Zhang Meng rode out and rushed to the court in two directions. They did not wait for the Dijon team's main attacker to turn around and took the lead in crossing the half court.
Jiang Yuntian drove straight in from the middle road!
Wanyan Lie secretly yelled something bad and hurriedly shouted to the three backcourt defenders: "Stop them quickly!"
Can you stop it?
There's no way to stop it!
Jiang Yuntian, Qin Xian, and Zhang Meng formed a line at three points and charged towards the goal at the same time. The left ball was hit to the right, the right ball was hit to the middle, and the middle was divided to the left. Back and forth, the Dijon defender was thrown around.
In the end, Jiang Yuntian dribbled the ball and made a sweeping move. He was about to break through the enemy's gate. Unexpectedly, the Dijon defender flicked his sleeves and seemed to throw a hidden weapon.
Jiang Yuntian's ears moved, and he heard the sound of breaking through the air. He grabbed it with his backhand, and an iron egg seemed to be held in his palm. He turned back and glared at the Dijon defender, as if to say: Just wait for me!
I didn't pay much attention to it, the score was the most important thing.
No one could stop him, and Jiang Yuntian successfully sent the ball into the enemy's gate.
"OK!"
For a moment, there was thunderous applause and waves of cheers in the stands. Even the princess in the gauze tent was so excited that she stood up and clapped.
