Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359 Practice Makes Perfect
Wrestling has been the most efficient way to kill people since ancient times.

Although it is said that modern classical wrestling originated in ancient Greece, strictly speaking, this statement is just a biased statement.

The earliest wrestling, like skewers, originated in primitive society.

Simply speaking, wrestling appeared in China during the Yellow Emperor period, much earlier than ancient Greece. Strictly speaking, wrestling is a way to make people lose their balance and fall to the ground.

There are many different names for wrestling in ancient my country, such as wrestling, wrestling, horns, sumo, buku, erut, wrestling, etc. The languages ​​and characters of different ethnic groups are different, and the methods of wrestling are also quite different.

According to "Shu Yi Ji", in the era of clans and tribes 5000 years ago, the Huangdi tribe and the Chiyou tribe fought a great war.The people of the Chiyou tribe all wore fake horns on their heads, saying, "If you use horns to fight against people, no one can defend you." This fighting method of head-butting is the earliest origin of wrestling. This name comes from.

In ancient times wrestling belonged to the scope of unarmed combat, and it was a kind of military combat. "Book of Rites Yueling" records: "In the month of Meng Dong, the emperor ordered the general to teach martial arts, practice archery, guard, and wrestle." Archery, chariot and Wrestling is an important skill for soldiers to fight.

"Guoyu" records that the state of Jin in the late Spring and Autumn Period already had wrestling competitions.

"Taiping Yulan" quoted Wang Yin's "Book of Jin" as saying: At the party between Xiangcheng County and Yingchuan County in the Central Plains, there was a sumo match. Fighting skills are not enough to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two counties." This shows that the wrestling match at that time had become a battle of honor and disgrace, even to the point of life and death.

"Book of Jin Yu Chan Biography" records, "There is a Xicheng Jianhu, vigorous and invincible, Jin people dare not fight with the school", Sima Yan was very annoyed by this, so he posted a list to recruit warriors, Yu Chan's father Yu Dong Applying for recruitment, competing with the Hu people, "then culled and killed them", Yu Dong became "famous and special" and became an official.

Entertainment is like this on weekdays, and above the battlefield, wrestling is more valued.

During the Bronze Weapons Period, weapons were often broken, so unarmed combat skills were extremely important, and the most effective way to kill the enemy with bare hands, which has been verified countless times on the battlefield, is wrestling.

Different from modern one-on-one fighting, which uses wrestling to bring the opponent into the ground, and then subdue the opponent with joint skills and sleep skills, in the melee on the ancient battlefield, the person who fell to the ground will lose almost all protection, and then he will be trampled and beaten to death .

Falling to the ground on the battlefield means death, so there are often soldiers who are seriously injured and have to stand when they die. For this reason, at least there is a glimmer of life while standing, except for pretending to be dead.

Furthermore, no matter how hard the body is, it cannot be as hard as the ground.

The damage of falling to the ground is the sum of the hardness of the ground and its own weight, which is much greater than the power of elbows and knees. It is very common to fall to the death.

This is why wrestling has been the most popular martial arts in China since ancient times. In contrast, boxing is almost useless when the opponent has clothing and armor protection.

In wrestling in later generations, many finishing moves are to protect the opponent from fatal injuries, but on the battlefield, the opponent dies as quickly as possible.

So Yuan Xi saw that Lu Lingqi had put on a wrestling posture, and couldn't help complaining secretly, this woman's heart is too hopeless!

I'm afraid she didn't learn this wrestling from Lu Bu, a Baotou man. If she knocked her head on the muddy ground under her feet, wouldn't she be paralyzed for life?
As a native of Zhumadian with poor martial virtues, Yuan Xi turned around and ran away without even thinking about it.

He ran to a tree that was as thick as a bowl, took out a rope around his waist, and tied his waist firmly to the tree. Lu Lingqi was dumbfounded when she saw it, and suddenly went numb.

Do you have one like this?

Why do you carry a bundle of rope with you and tie it so skillfully?

Lu Lingqi didn't bother to argue with Yuan Xi, since the other party had seen through her purpose, did she really think that it was just a rope, so she wouldn't be thrown?

The previous several fights have made her understand a truth, on the battlefield, there are indeed some tricks that can be used, but in the final analysis, it still depends on strength!
She squatted slightly, then jumped out, stomping on her feet, and in a few blinks she came to Yuan Xi's body, raised her right hand, and punched Yuan Xi's face.

Although fists are not the most effective way to defeat the enemy, they are enough for opponents without helmets!

The moment Lu Lingqi swung her fist, seeing Yuan Xi's face hesitated for a moment, she thought to herself that this face was considered pretty, if the face was smashed, would the other party cry?

Yuan Xi raised his arm to block it, and Lu Lingqi slammed his fist on his forearm, excruciating pain came, making Yuan Xi think his bones were broken.

He suddenly took a step sideways, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Lingqi's left foot kicking towards his side. Yuan Xi subconsciously raised the other arm, but when he saw Lu Lingqi leaning back, his hairs stood on end. Quickly squat down as hard as possible.

At this moment, Lu Lingqi raised her left leg again, and swept towards Yuan Xi's head viciously, but Yuan Xi just squatted down, and Lu Lingqi's toes brushed against his scalp.

Lu Lingqi snorted, quite surprised in her heart, Yuan Xi seemed to have some skills in unarmed combat?

Seeing that Yuan Xi was about to reach out to grab her ankle again, she couldn't help but recall what happened last time in her mind, she became angry, kicked her right foot, and jumped in the air with her body spinning, which was a full back kick!
She fully thought that Yuan Xi was going to get her foot firmly, but she didn't expect that with a bang, she kicked onto the tree trunk, and the leaves fell down with a clatter.

Lu Lingqi stood still, and found that Yuan Xi took the opportunity to hide behind a tree!

She stood firm, did not attack, but patted her head in doubt, and said, "Are you really taught by Master?"

Only then did Yuan Xi have time to catch his breath. He took several deep breaths, and his violently beating heart slowed down a little. Then he tried to put on an inscrutable look, "I'll tell you if you win."

He thought to himself that he had already performed beyond his level just now.

The Sanda he learned in the university in his previous life, and Zhao Yun's accidental advice in this life, can also allow him to deal with Lu Lingqi with a few tricks, and even just now, he escaped by relying on some luck.

If it weren't for the rope tied around his waist, he would have fallen in embarrassment.

Lu Lingqi snorted coldly, stepped around the tree trunk, and grabbed Yuan Xi's belt.

She figured it out, this rope can also help Yuan Xi stabilize her body, as long as she forces the other party to circle, the other party will be entangled in the rope sooner or later, as long as the other party falls down, the other party will not fall to the ground, but will hang on the tree trunk Come on, I want to see how you run!
Seeing that Lu Lingqi was being grabbed by him, Yuan Xi quickly circled behind the tree. Lu Lingqi was chasing after her and wanted to follow, but she didn't expect to see Yuan Xi stretching the rope at some point, embracing the trunk with her hands and feet, rubbing against the tree a few times, He even climbed up a tree!

Seeing Yuan Xi climbed up to the height of a person, Lu Lingqi's reaction was also quick. She stretched out her hand to grab the rope and pulled it hard. Yuan Xi was almost pulled down from the tree.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi grabbed the rope tightly with both hands, pulled it down with all her strength, and said coquettishly, "Come down!"

Yuan Xi was waiting for this moment, he stretched out his hand, and lightly pinched the knot around his waist, and the rope fell off instantly!

Lu Lingqi was caught off guard, she had exhausted all her strength, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden, her face was flushed with anger, and she was about to struggle to get up. Jump down and throw her to the ground!
After exhausting all her efforts, she finally pulled Lu Lingqi into the moment when the ground rolled!
Otherwise, facing Lu Lingqi who was standing there, Yuan Xi would not have the confidence to win at all.

The moment Lu Lingqi was thrown down, she knew that she had fallen into the other party's trap again, and she didn't use all her abilities to make three points, and even learned from Lu Bu in wrestling, she didn't even use a single move!
Thinking of this, she clenched her teeth with anger, this fierce tiger is really despicable!
That being the case, it's up to each other according to their abilities!

She raised her elbow and smashed it down, but Yuan Xi held her armpit tightly, making her unable to use her strength, and she couldn't help feeling even more annoyed.

She could see that the other party's experience of falling to the ground was much richer than hers!

In the past two years, Lu Lingqi has improved a lot in martial arts. On the one hand, it is due to her outstanding talent, and on the other hand, it is also because of the masters practicing against her.

Not to mention Lu Bu Quyi, when Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others came to the mansion, Lu Lingqi would also pester them for advice. Although the other party obviously held back, it also benefited Lu Lingqi a lot.

However, there is only one thing, that is, what she excels in is the martial arts standing on the ground. Although wrestling also has ground moves, Lu Lingqi can only figure it out in her heart, but she has never actually fought.

This is really normal, because Zhang Liao and the others are also good at wrestling, but how could they have physical contact with Lu Lingqi?
But Yuan Xi is different.

He and many opponents have rich experience in tumbling, and he has been practicing day and night, spending a lot of time, and has reached the point where practice makes perfect.

So Yuan Xi is very used to lying down, and only lying down is when he can really display his strength, and it was the same with Yang Feng that day.

Yuan Xi pressed Lu Lingqi against her armpits, and she couldn't use her arm strength, but the itching from the place where she was pressed made her want to laugh.

As soon as a person smiles, his strength will be vented, Lu Lingqi's little face is flushed from holding back, and her heart is even more angry.

Almost exactly the same as last time!
However, Yuan Xi tactfully avoided the sensitive parts this time, and only restrained Lu Lingqi's arms with one hand and her thighs with the other, and firmly held down Lu Lingqi's body so that she could not turn over and resist.

Lu Lingqi's other hand desperately elbowed Yuan Xi's waist, but was bounced back, and her elbow was numb. Only then did she realize that this bastard was secretly wearing leather armor!

But she didn't say in advance that she could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and became more and more frustrated, twisting Yuan Xi to take advantage of the situation to roll over.

Standing in the distance, Sun Li saw the two tumbling on the ground, and thought to himself, isn't this the way wild children used to fight when they were young?

This is too ugly, a governor of Youzhou and a noble daughter of Marquis Wen, both of whom are of high status, but now they are like two wild dogs biting each other, completely disregarding their image.

Fortunately, I let the guards evade in advance, and if people see it, the matter of the young master and the daughter of Marquis Wen will soon spread around the world and become a topic of discussion among the gentry!
