Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 447 Ji County Cuju Competition (add more rewards for Brother Charles Wang!)
In mid-April 194, the general Lu Bu followed the emperor's edict and started to mobilize troops against Qingzhou.

Lu Bu first instructed Liu Bian to give an edict to Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, calling Kong Rong to integrate into Beijing to take up an important position in Jiuqing.

In the edict, Liu Bian also confessed that Kong Rong had to hand over all the troops and territory under his command to Xue Li, the general under his command.

After receiving the emperor's edict, Kong Rong happily went to Beijing to be an official, and handed over Beihai and all the soldiers and horses to Xue Rengui.

Subsequently, Xue Rengui took Beihai as the base and sent Gao Ang, Zhang Fei, Hua Xiong, Chen Dao, Hou Junji and other generals to conquer the counties and counties of Qingzhou.

In less than a month, all the cities in Jinan, Pingyuan, Le'an, Donglai, Qi and other places were replaced with Lv banners, and Qingzhou changed hands.

Xue Rengui was re-appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, and had an overview of Qingzhou's military affairs;

Under Lu Bu's instruction, Xue Rengui selected [-] soldiers from the counties of Qingzhou to join the army;
Qi Jiguang was re-appointed as the deputy governor of Qingzhou, and his navy was incorporated into the Qingzhou Army, and moved to Qingzhou to build a naval base;
Xi Zhong was transferred to the post of governor of Qingzhou and concurrently served as the military division of the Qingzhou Army;
Chen Qun was transferred to Qingzhou Biejia to assist Xizhong in dealing with Qingzhou affairs.

But this time Lu Bu captured Qingzhou, the system did not give a reminder to get rewards for the talent draw. Perhaps it was because this battle was too simple. After all, there is no one who can fight, so it is reasonable not to get rewards.

……

In May 194, the first Cuju Competition in Ji County officially started.

In his previous life, Lu Bu liked football very much, and he was the main force of the school team in college.

That day Lu Bu felt that people had little entertainment and life was very boring.

Originally making a villain is a very happy thing, but these days, in order to relieve worries and boredom, people have made it a boring thing to make a villain, and the mechanical cycle goes back and forth.

Lu Bu felt that as a qualified monarch, he should not only enrich the material life of the people under his rule, but also enrich their spiritual life!
So Lv Bu racked his brains, thinking hard, to find out how to enrich entertainment activities,
It happened that Lu Bu went to the street that day, and accidentally saw a group of jugglers performing Cuju for a living on the street.

Don’t think that Cuju was invented in the Song Dynasty, it existed in the Warring States period, but it was only in the Song Dynasty that a famous person appeared, so it became more famous.

What celebrity?Gao Qiu!
After this death, Chinese football has not slowed down for more than 1000 years!

"Historical Records" and "Warring States Policy" are the first to record the situation of football, and both records show that during the period of King Xuan of Qi, Cuju had developed into a mature form of entertainment.

"Historical Records Biography of Bian Que Canggong" records: Xiang Chu, who was the "Anling Banli Public Carrier" in the Western Han Dynasty, was obsessed with "cuju", even though he was seriously ill, he still refused to follow the doctor's advice to continue going out to cuju, and died in the end.

Look at people, how much does this love playing football?They were all sick like that, but they still didn't give up playing football, and ended up kicking themselves to death!
Ancient Cuju juggling is similar to modern football acrobatics, which is to use the feet, shoulders, knees, head and other parts to bounce the ball and make various difficult movements to win the applause of the onlookers and obtain rewards.

Lu Bu was happy after watching it, and asked Cao Shaoqin to give some rewards.

After returning to the Hou's Mansion, Lu Bu began to study how to make Cuju enter thousands of households.

After discussing with his advisers, Lu Bu decided to build a large Cuju field in Ji County, and at the same time allocated funds to build Cuju fields in the counties under his rule.

Juchang is rectangular, generally east-west, with a viewing hall facing north and south, surrounded by walls, called "Jucheng".

Why did Lu Bu admire Cuju so much?Because this thing can not only enrich people's entertainment activities, but also enhance the physique of the people under the rule!

Except for martial arts practitioners these days, ordinary people don't understand the concept of exercise at all, let alone the benefits of exercise, so Lu Bu felt that it was necessary for him to help them.

In addition to enriching people's entertainment, Cuju can also be used in the military.

Liu Xiang said in "Bie Lu": "Taking Ju is the power of the army. Therefore, training warriors, knowing that there are talents, all because of playing and practicing."

Ban Gu said: "Cuju is the winner of offense and defense."

Yan Shigu of the Tang Dynasty wrote: "Cuju is a matter of Chen Li, so it is attached to the Art of War."

So when there is nothing else to do, the army can hold a Cuju competition. As for the lottery, Lu Bu will come out, everyone's great cause, is it so short of a piece of silver?

There are no detailed rules for the Cuju game in this era. Lu Bu combined the game rules of modern football and refined the rules of the Cuju game. Red cards and yellow cards were all arranged by Lu Bu. Goalkeepers, forwards, defenders, midfielders, etc. They were also divided in detail, and finally Lu Bu printed the competition rules into a book and distributed them free of charge.

On the day of the kickoff, the Jixian Cuchang was full of people.

Seeing that Lu Bu is so keen on Cuju, all his civil and military personnel tried their best to help Lu Bu promote this first Cuju Competition.

Not only that, the emperor Liu Bian and his mother Empress Dowager He also appeared in the audience of Cuchang as special guests.

A total of four teams participated in this Cuju competition, one of which was composed of the Huben Camp, and the other three were selected by the people.

The four teams adopt a four-for-two elimination schedule, which means that a total of three games can be seen today.

But Lu Bu didn't divide the game into on and off games. If the on and off games were followed, plus intermission, Lu Bu and the others would have to sit here until dark!
In the final result of the game, the Huben Camp naturally won the championship, with a score of "7 to 1".

This is the result of the Huben camp deliberately releasing water, otherwise the folk representative team would not even be able to score a goal.

The Huben Battalion is a warrior selected by the whole army. It can be said that it is the elite of the elite. Whether it is physical strength or coordination, the civilian representative team is not half as good as the Huben Battalion.

Besides, the Huben Camp had a reason to win. During the training, the three brothers who scratched their heads told them that it doesn't matter if they lose this game. The three of them will accompany the contestants to practice martial arts for half a month. The right is to encourage them them, tell them not to be discouraged.

The Huben Camp brothers who participated in the competition turned green after hearing this, and it took half a month to practice martial arts with the three commanders?
Thinking about Dian Wei's fist the size of a sandbag, how could they not dare to kick with all their might?
If this kick really loses, then life would be worse than death!

After the game, Liu Bian eagerly said to Lu Bu, "General, I also want to play Cuju in the palace."

After hearing this, Lu Bu said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send people into the palace tomorrow to build a kick field for you!"

Liu Bian said happily: "If that's the case, then there will be General Lao!"

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "This is a matter of the minister's duty, why bother to say it? But your Majesty must be careful when playing Cuju, and don't hurt the dragon's body."

Liu Bian said happily: "I know about this matter, General, don't worry!"

Empress Dowager He had been listening to the conversation between Lu Bu and Liu Bian, watching the scene of "harmony between the monarch and his subjects", Empress Dowager He smiled.

Empress Dowager He is very content now. Although she is really a puppet, Lu Bu treats the two of them very well.

Whether Liu Bian or her needs, Lu Bu has always been tough when he has the ball, bah, he always responds to requests, and never refuses.

With such a "Huo Guang" character, the smart Empress Dowager He would not have any crooked thoughts. Isn't it delicious to be a queen mother who is pampered?
