Chapter 921 Letting go
Zhao Yunliang yawned and walked into the room.

Li Shian asked Guan Ting to remove the barrier.

Every move of the two people was actually under Zhao Rui's nose.

With Pan Gong in charge, Guan Ting went to Zhao Yunliang's yard and set up a formation to prevent eavesdropping. How could he not know?

After Zhao Rui learned that Li Shi'an went to find Zhao Yunliang, he put down the memorial in his hand with great interest: "So, coming to the Royal Courtyard before the palace banquet yesterday was not just a whim."

In the inner hall were Zhao Rui, Fu Ji who was serving him, and Pan Gong.

Zhao Rui didn't want them to answer.

On the second day, the autumn hunting begins.

Instead of running all over the mountain, the four countries discussed and prepared for a Cuju competition.

A Cuju team is divided into three levels. The first level is the ball head with one player; the second level is the ball head with two players; and the third level is the general players, ranging from seven to thirteen people.

Cuju originated very early, but became popular in the Song Dynasty and was the prototype of football in later generations.

The required field was soon circled with rakes. The area was large enough, although not as big as the formal football fields of later generations, covering an area of ​​about four or five acres.

It was not completely enclosed, and only the places where there were viewing seats were carefully guarded to prevent the nobles from being hurt.

The distance between the two goals is about fourteen feet, and the height is about three feet, but the goal is only one foot in size. (One foot in the Northern Song Dynasty was about 31-33 centimeters.)
The Song Dynasty sent fifteen people, the Tibetans also sent fifteen people, the Jiaozhi Kingdom sent sixteen people, and the Liao Dynasty sent fifteen people.

The rules of the game are divided into two stages. The first stage is the 'Judgment', which is an attack. Each team kicks three rounds first. If they can kick within the boundaries of the opponent's goal in each round, they will score. If the two teams score the same In this case, the one with more people wins.

Now you know why Cochin sent one more person.

There is strength in numbers, and he knows how to play.

The four teams drew lots to decide the target of the confrontation. Li Shian seemed to be very interested and wanted to draw the lots himself.

The results came out, the Song Dynasty faced the Liao Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty fought against the Tubo Dynasty.

Li Shi'an raised the lot in his hand towards Lamu, and said as if he were talking about green tea: "Please show mercy to the Tibetan warriors later!"

He obviously looked like he was determined to win, but he still said these words.

Ram smiled and said, "Please ask the warriors of Cochin to teach me."

When the game started, I realized why Li Shian was so proud. These people must have been specially trained. They were very good at controlling the ball and cooperated with each other tacitly. Unlike the Tubo Kingdom, they were just a temporary team. Although they all had skills, they always felt that The feeling of having nowhere to show off one's martial arts skills is very frustrating.

There seems to be no suspense in the first game, which is a national victory.

Li Shi'an was smiling, and Ram looked a little angry, but in fact there was nothing wrong with it. It was just a game of Cuju, so why not let him win. Later, whether he met the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty, he would only lose more. Too bad, I couldn’t laugh at that time.

"it is good."

After Jiaozhi won two games in a row, Li Shian stood up and clapped his hands happily.

In the third game, the Tubo Warriors, who had just figured out how to play, pulled back a game, and in the fourth game, Cochin narrowly won.

Jiaochin fought against Tibet and won three to one.

Next is the confrontation between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

The people sent by the Song Dynasty were all the younger generation, headed by An Wang Zhao Yu, Li Duanyuan's son Li Ji, Bai Chengnan's son Bai Honglei, Xin Zisheng's sons Xin Aowen and Xin Aowu, Leng Zhongyan's son Leng Shuhe, Cao Zhan's son Cao Huaicheng , and Su You, Su Ming and others who are slightly older, in their early thirties. The opponent's lineup should not be underestimated. The head of the ball is Yelu Tabuye, the son of Yelu Renxian. He has experienced the Chongyuan Rebellion and served successively as the inspector of inspections and the governor of Huaide Army. He is brave and resourceful. He is twenty-nine years old this year. , is a rare good opponent. The two deputy heads are Xiao Houjun, the son of Xiao Xian, and Yelu Google, the son of Yelu Sala.

The two sides found masks from nowhere, and people were moving very fast around the masks. If you didn't have good eyesight, it would be really difficult to tell who is who, let alone distinguish between a ball head and an ordinary player.

Su Yixin held her baby in her arms and sat leisurely in the stands.

After looking back and forth for several rounds, she basically distinguished the ball head and the sub-ball head. As for the ordinary players, she didn't fully recognize them, but Su You and Su Ming still knew each other.

She can also differentiate between the opponent's ball head and the sub-ball head.

The scene was very tense from the beginning. Every time they were about to kick the ball to the opponent's boundary, they were kicked back to the center by a sudden kick from the opponent. It was very lively.

But this is the home court of the Song Dynasty after all, and those who can sit here and watch the game are basically courtiers and their families. Needless to say, they must be cheering for their own people.

There is no cheering at this time.

Basically, when you know who is coming on the court, you shout that person's name, then yell, jump and dance. This is the highest level of cheering.

Gu Yanheng was usually quite calm, but at this time, he was also very excited, calling the names of Li Ji and others.

Not to mention Li Rouwan and Li Roujia, they stood up and waved their handkerchiefs, then put their hands to their lips and screamed. Only their family members were on the field, and those sitting in the stands would definitely be shouting at the top of their lungs.

Xiao Houjun curled his lips at Yelu Gu: "Look at these Song people, their voices can't be any softer. We are just guests from afar, and we don't know how to be humble. Don't you say that Song people are the most polite?"

Wearing a mask, the expressions cannot be clearly seen, but the raised corners of the lips can still be seen clearly: "Although it is just a game, it is also about the honor of the family and the country. The fact that they are like this shows that they love their country and value it so much." , it is also a sign of respect for us, how can we say that we are not polite?”

Yeluta kicked the ball back and flew down beside them: "What time is it, you still have time to chat."

"coming."

The score between the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty has been very tight. At the same time, Tubo and Jiaozhi scored four goals in total, but the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty scored 14 goals, and they were stuck on a stick of incense. At the end of the game, Zhao Yu scored another goal.

"We win, we win."

People in the stands started celebrating, not caring about the next match against Cochin.

Li Shian: Are you celebrating in advance?

They haven't played yet. If Cochin wins, Da Song's face will be the same as being trampled on the ground.

Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.

This one is really looking forward to.

Daliao and Tubo were just waiting to see how Jiaozhi would be abused.

And the fact is indeed as they expected. In the span of a stick of incense, Jiaozhi did not score a single goal, while the Song Dynasty scored 18 goals in a row. The most ridiculous thing is that the time is just over halfway.

Xin Aowu stood next to Zhao Yu with his hands on his waist and said, "Your Majesty, how about we put some water in?"

Zhao Yu: "You have to try your best to play Cuju, so why bother playing with water?"

As soon as the stick of incense arrived, Jiaozhi only scored one goal. They didn't know whether this goal was leaked. Anyway, in the end, Song Dynasty scored 33 goals.

One can imagine how ugly Li Shian's face looked at this time.
