Chapter 52 Mutual pits
Eleven to two, so miserable!
Li Yuanai watched the situation on the court. The two teams on the court must belong to two different countries.
The Red Team is obviously a team composed of the Tang people. Every polo player wears a slut, a red samurai soap robe, a sleeve robe, a leather belt, and a black boots. The Black Team is wearing simple leather armor and trousers, and everyone has thick arms exposed, as if they don’t feel cold.
Li Yuanai tightened her clothes and felt cold for them.
It is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Although it has not snowed, it still feels a little chill, making people reluctant to move.
Li Yuanai had never played regular polo, but she played with Xiao Yizi that day and understood the basic rules: Looking at the scene on the court, Hong Fang was obviously suppressed and was so restrained that he was so constrained.
On the contrary, the black side sprinted back and forth to fight, which was particularly brave.
In this case, if you lose nine goals, you will not feel wronged at all.
Following Eunuch An bypassed the crowd and came to the top. Li Shimin had a dark face and looked at the polo team that had almost lost a lot, his eyes almost spitting out.
It turned out that the second day of the Lunar New Year was the day when Li Shimin and a group of important officials were entertaining the four barbarians.
They traveled thousands of miles to bring gifts to pay tribute. The court and the Ministry of Personnel took them to eat, drink and play with them almost every year.
In recent years, due to the popularity of polo, several tribute countries and a sect leader took advantage of the opportunity of tribute gathering to gather together to play polo, and entertainment has gradually become a common practice.
In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo occupied half of the country. Whether it was Fusang or Silla, or Tuyuhun, Turks, and Tiel, they were not opponents of these two countries, and they were all here to accompany them.
The final championship battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was the most exciting and exciting battle.
Tubo wins because of his proficiency. The polo project was not invented by Tubo, but the detailed gameplay was formed in Tubo, and then passed to the Tang Dynasty, and then spread throughout the world from the Tang Dynasty.
I have to say that Songtsen Gampo is still a very powerful character.
By holding Tubo horse racing competitions, the combat effectiveness of soldiers was enhanced. As the equestrian improved, it gradually evolved into polo sports that required high skills and strict training. The combat effectiveness of soldiers was improved through playing and playing.
Therefore, although Polo was not invented by Tubo, it was unquestionable to carry forward it from them.
Everyone in Tubo loves polo, and their technical playing style is far ahead of other countries.
As for the Tang Dynasty, it was successful in its vast talents.
Everyone in Tubo knows polo, but one person in the Tang Dynasty is enough to match it if one person is crammed in a thousand people.
Therefore, the winner is half the winner.
Li Shimin did not particularly mobilize the masses to promote polo. With his vision, he didn't care about small wins and losses.
If you win a polo game, you can mean that Tubo is powerful?
Isn't it naive?
However, this time it was different.
Because of the war in the West, the imperial court sent Hou Junji to attack Gaochang.
The military of the Tang Dynasty believed in a policy, and promoted the people of Guanzhong to face all directions. Guanzhong's troops accounted for 40% of the country's troops.
Hou Junji drew some Guanzhong soldiers to fight, including the best of the younger generation, which led to several core members of the original team of the polo team, who had been experienced in many battles, participating in the Western Expedition.
I could only form a new polo team in a hurry, but when I met this Tubo polo team, which was shamed due to the defeat last year, was pressed to the ground and rubbed.
This loss is not embarrassing, Li Shimin is ready to lose.
But if you lose like this, just like a young wife, you can only enjoy what you give, and you can't bear it.
Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin were so angry that they almost went on stage in person.
Li Shimin forced them to hold them down.
Both of them are famous players. If they lose on the field, they will lose their faces. Even if they win, they will not be glorious. Instead, it seems that the Tang Dynasty cannot afford to lose. For a polo game, they arranged for generals like Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin to end up.
Regardless of winning or losing, the face of the Tang Dynasty is lost.
It was not only Li Shimin who was angry, but also Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was not old, but his mind was deep. Seeing the fallen flowers and waters caused by the Tang Dynasty, the flames in his heart burst out. Thinking of Li Yuan'ai's magical squirting ball and the ball control ability she showed during play, he decisively recommended Li Yuan'ai to Li Shimin.
Li Zhi was raised by Li Shimin, and he knew his son better than anyone else.
Anyway, it’s better to lose like this, and it’s better to treat the dead horse as a living horse, and immediately send someone to Da'an Palace.
Li Yuanai was in a mess. Looking at Li Shimin who was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything or ask anything.
"You can play polo?"
Li Shimin asked.
Li Yuanai hesitated for a moment and said, "You know a little bit, your level is average."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "It's good to know, I'll change people later, you can get on."
"Ah!" Li Yuanai looked at the warrior who was rushing around the court. How could his weak body withstand the collision?
Li Shimin said calmly: "I heard that you bought the Bashui Villa from Changle? That was the dowry I gave to Changle. Are you really brave? Are you thinking about the dowry I gave to my daughter?"
Li Yuanai asked him that he could not say a word.
Li Shimin continued: "I will win if I go down and win, and this matter will be settled. I will give you convenience here and let you set up your villa with peace of mind. If you lose, think about it yourself..."
Li Yuanai was sad and said, "What do you think of this? How could you put it on the shelves like this?"
"Go, or not?" Li Shimin seemed to be giving an ultimatum.
"go!"
Li Yuanai gritted his teeth and responded, saying, "But the emperor has to change two people for me, otherwise I really can't win."
"who?"
Li Yuanai said: "Luo Tong!"
Li Yuanai didn't know how Luo Tong's football skills were. He just knew that he could polo during chats. A master like him should be bad. The key is that his own people are obedient.
"But!" Li Shimin said: "Who else!"
Li Yuanai said word by word: "Xiao Jiu!"
"Ha!" This time it was Li Shimin's turn to be shocked, "Zhinu?"
Li Yuanai said: "Yes, it's King of Jin. King of Jin grew up with his ministers and played together since childhood. He can cooperate with him and be a golden partner. With him on the court, his winning rate will be at least half higher."
It was obviously a bit revengeful when I pulled Li Zhi up.
God is pitiful.
Li Yuanai was not good at polo before and didn't know the polo mechanism.
It was when I was in Lizheng Hall before, I learned the rules and learned how to play.
In addition to Li Zhi, Xiao Yizi also has Tong Jian, and others don’t know that they can play polo.
Li Shimin is still young, and Li Shimin won’t take what he says seriously.
Tong Jian is not qualified to go to such occasions, and there is no one else except Li Zhi who cheats himself.
