Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 189 Negotiating Competition Rules with Zhang Yang

Through the competition to change the marriage object.

Man'er had considered this attention before, but he didn't expect to come to this step.She also has a lot of sayings about the state of etiquette, and she was directly oppressed by the Emperor Wu and died in her womb.

Emperor Wu's attitude was very clear, Da Zhou hoped for peace, but he did not reject war.That competition is a request that is likely to be granted, and the winner should also have some prizes.

Of course, Man'er also wanted to suppress Da Zhou. In terms of horsepower and force, the average level of Turks was higher than that of Da Zhou, and all the people she brought were elites.

Re-establish a marriage certificate between the two countries, choose a different name for the old and relatives, and continue to stay here, the best of both worlds, she believes that the Great Zhou Emperor will not refuse.

A smile gradually appeared on Emperor Wu's face, "Since you don't give up, then I will give you a chance. Come here and tell Zhang Yang to return to Beijing."

Just to check, his military training results, what he said was a quick success, and there should be some improvement now.

Man'er was delighted to hear Emperor Wu's agreement, but he was a little uneasy when he heard the last sentence.Zhang Yang's name has now spread throughout the Turks, both as a warrior they fear and as an object of vengeance.

It's good to meet and get to know each other.

Man'er resigned.

Emperor Wu was elated, and silently yelled at the thieves for a long time, this time he can give the generals of the Zhou Dynasty a good momentum.

Man'er is also very happy, although there was an ambiguity in the past, but now it can be regarded as rescued, and it can give the little sister a good relationship.Moreover, it can also show the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty the style of a Turkic warrior, so that she dare not underestimate it.

The news of the competition between Dazhou and Turks spread like wildfire. The competition venue was set at the hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city of Luoyang was boiling, arguing that they would go to watch the battle that day.

Zhang Yang was also in such an atmosphere and returned to Beijing with a hundred elites.

The Turkic people are good at horseback riding and hunting, and they make their own choices, which makes them realize the power of the Great Zhou and the emergence of outstanding people.

Zhang Yang has some headaches, military training is for fighting, it's not good to show it off now that you haven't practiced well.But he is just a general and can only listen to the emperor.

Just enjoy yourself.

Man'er brought the two generals to meet with Zhang Yang, and agreed on the content of the competition and the criteria for winning or losing.

The first time I saw him, Man'er felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, "Is it you?"

Zhang Yang smiled happily, and put his finger on his upper lip, "You still recognize me without a beard? General Zhou Zhang Yang, hello, Prairie Pearl."

Man'er was a little angry, "What is your purpose in sneaking into Turkic territory, Wu Yanxiu also knows your identity?"

No wonder he would rather hijack her and run for thousands of miles than see Khan.

Zhang Yang signaled her to calm down, "Girls, don't keep frowning, you will get old and ugly easily. I just went to see Wu Yanxiu and enjoy the scenery of the prairie, but he didn't know about it."

Man'er didn't believe a hair of his words, "You obviously went there for Khitan, and you can bring him back to Beijing early in the morning, villain."

Zhang Yang: "You should thank me for the Khitan matter. If Khitan is allowed to develop, it can replace Turkic as the new lord of the grassland in the future. Do you believe it or not? And I don't behave like a villain. Wu Yanxiu is as good as anyone else. I don’t know, how can I rest assured that I will take him back to Beijing.”

Man'er didn't want to talk to him, but he was Zhou Fang's representative, so he had to discuss the rules with him.

He could only stare at him a few times to express his anger.

She remembered that Zhang Yang's riding and archery skills were extraordinary, if his subordinates had his ability, then this competition would be as difficult as ever.

Zhang Yang smiled and ignored her eyes, "Is it a hunting competition or a horse riding competition? How many people are competing? I heard that you brought 150 people, but I only brought a hundred."

Man'er replied, "Don't worry, one hundred warriors and fifty followers, since it is said that this is a fair contest, the Turks will never fight with more."

Zhang Yang: "Tell me, how do you compare?"

Man'er exchanged glances with the two people next to him, and muttered a few words to confirm.

"Five rounds, three wins, a group of 20 people, randomly selected. They will compete in hunting, horse riding, archery, wrestling, and drinking."

"Hunting is limited to half an hour, and the one who hunts the heaviest goods wins, and those who have not returned within the stipulated time shall not be counted.

Riding horses can fight each other, click as far as possible, and the first to cross the finish line is the winner.

In archery, the one who hits the most bull's-eyes wins, and only the arrows that hit the bull's-eye are counted.

Wrestling, one-on-one competition, until there is only one person left, and the side that stays wins.

Drinking, continuous drinking of strong alcohol, those who cannot stand are out of the game, the cumulative number of drinking, the more wins.

You can't play. "

Zhang Yang listened very carefully, but these rules were still too rough, so he added, "Everyone hunts with ten arrows, enter the arena together, and leave the arena after shooting. If the head wins, the prey must be able to be retrieved. How about weighing it if you can’t tell the winner?”

Man'er exchanged opinions with the left and right, and nodded. This method is indeed more time-saving.

Zhang Yang continued, "The reason you allow the fight is to compete in riding skills, not to compete in speed. How about changing it to whoever knocks the opponent off the horse first?"

Man'er: "It's not safe."

Zhang Yang nodded, "But this is nothing compared to the competition. Archery, Dazhou people all use the same bows, light bows and heavy bows, put them up and pick them yourself, if the Turks want to use ours, they can use them. If the red bullseye falls off, another Is one side going to lose or make up the target? If the number of hits is always the same, you can increase the distance between the two to determine the winner. You can choose the strongest person, or you can choose which side wins more out of 20 people count."

Man'er: "Increase the distance, and fight in twos, the one that wins the most."

"Wrestling, after a one-on-one competition, should the winner of the previous round continue to compete in a round of competition, or can the winner take a break?"

Maner: "..."

Zhang Yang: "Well, there must be at least two cups of tea in each round, otherwise people's physical strength is limited, maybe they will be tired, and there will never be a truly powerful warrior.

The last drink, the wine of Datang is different from the wine of Turkic. Turkic people may not be used to drinking wine of Tang Dynasty, and people of Tang Dynasty may not like to drink Turkic wine. We can compare the wine with the formula from the land west of Dashi. , No one can drink more than three jugs of such spirits at a time. "

Man'er laughed, "How can there be such wine, our Turkic warriors drink from jars, and three jugs are not enough to quench their thirst."

Zhang Yang waved his hand, "Before the competition, you can try it first. I can guarantee that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have never drunk this kind of wine. What do you think? Is it fair?"

Man'er replied, "If it is indeed a wine that has never appeared in Dazhou, then it is naturally possible."

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's fine, I will prepare two hundred bamboo sticks, and when the time comes, I will draw out the bamboo sticks for grouping, and the discussion will be over today?"

Man'er nodded. His remarks seemed to be very fair and reasonable, and he added many questions that she hadn't thought about, and he didn't intend to create an advantage for Da Zhou at all.Does he have confidence in his subordinates and believes that the Great Zhou will win, or is he putting on airs?

Because the opponents are very cunning and vicious publicity, they took a lot more seriously, and many of the rules they made were beneficial to the Turks.For example, wrestling determines the final winner because Datang pays attention to well-dressed clothes and does not like such bare-chested activities. They are not as versatile and experienced as the Turkic people.As for archery, if the great archer of the Zhou Dynasty is drawn, at most one person will lose, and there are still nineteen groups. The average level of Turkic archery must be higher.

Man'er felt that he needed to study the rules carefully.

Now that the discussion was over, Zhang Yang went back to report directly, and by the way, he could arrange for Shen Sanwen to make the spirits.
