Chapter 334 The villain wins
At both ends of the field, there are two goals with wooden boards embedded between the wooden pillars. A round hole is opened at the lower end as a ball room. Whoever hits a fist-sized ball in will win.

In addition, the goal and the ball are both carved with red paint, which is very eye-catching and helps with viewing.

Of course, there are some very simple rules, such as not using your hands, only swinging, to prevent golf from turning into a group fight.

If you replaced the stick with a knife...

The idea flashed away, it is indeed necessary for the country to respect this, and the spirit of martial arts is indispensable.

The country of Japan has a long, narrow and mountainous terrain, so the horses are very short. Considering their height, they look like monkeys riding dogs.

Therefore, after appearing on the stage, he did not receive any applause. Everyone was amazed and had no expectations for Japan to win.

In comparison, the Silla people were taller, but not very bloody, especially after being taught a lesson by the Tang army several times.

In addition, the number of the envoys sent was not large, and there were even fewer people who were good at martial arts, riding and shooting. They grabbed cooks who were excellent at making kimchi to make up the number, and they barely managed to gather twelve team members.

"It's boring."

After watching for a while, Li Xian shook his head.

King Zhou and King Xiang couldn't help but frown.

If there wasn't a match between Tang Dynasty and Tubo later, Meng Fan couldn't help but want to leave.

"These little dwarfs are quite fierce..."

Li Lingyue, who was only the age of a nutmeg, but in Meng Fan's eyes, was just an innocent little girl. She couldn't help but sigh as she watched the Japanese, who were only about the same height as herself, running rampant and shouting, even though the score was slightly ahead.

In the end, Silla relied on a decisive victory to defend the fact that it was sitting on the throne of Japan.

It's a pity that no one feels the excitement, it's just pecking at each other, just watch it as a lively scene.

The main show was finally about to begin, and for some reason, Meng Fan felt that something unexpected might happen next.

At this moment, a burst of cheers was heard from the sub-stage. When his eyes turned to the court again, he saw the Datang Yulin Army Team tying up their horses' tails and riding into the field with clubs in hand.

The cheers continued for a long time.

This game was held in the Forbidden Palace of Chang'an, the imperial capital. In the words of later generations, it was called home field advantage. Even before it started, they already beat the Tubo people in terms of momentum.

As we all know, the horse breeding industry in the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, especially the horses selected for the royal competitions. They were carefully selected and bred from generation to generation. Turkic horses were the main breeds, and some other bloodlines were hybridized to make them more durable and flexible. Aspects such as sex and family relationships are more prominent.

The horses on the Tubo side are slightly shorter than them, but they have absolutely no challenge in terms of endurance. They are stronger than the horses of Turkic blood, because they live in the plateau.

Compared to the messy game just now, this time it was undoubtedly more entertaining. The Tubo team cut all the manes on the necks of the horses short, while the Yulin Army braided the horse's manes into patterns, and both sides tied their pony tails tightly. tie up.

The reason for this is to avoid entanglement in the fierce competition and delay the progress of the event.

Very professional.

As both sides lined up, lined up, the strong horse legs were like a jungle of muscles.

As soon as the drum sounds, it officially begins.

Tang Jun hit the first shot, and there was a loud, clear sound. The crescent head of the club stirred up a large piece of loess on the ground, and the polo was hit and flew far away.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of hooves sounded like thunder, and both men and horses were chasing the ball.

Cheers continued.

However, this situation did not last long, and the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were stunned.In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Tubo people scored three goals in a row. This group of people seemed to be well prepared and their skills were very good. The sharp soldiers picked out from the Yulin Army were overwhelmed and had no power to fight back.

On the auxiliary stage, the Tubo envoy laughed and was very proud when he saw this.

Abused at home?

Or after enjoying the singing and dancing, filling your stomach with the royal chef's skills, and then come here to endure this one-sided show and watch your own people being tortured?
The officials and even the women in the palace were naturally upset, and some soldiers shouted: "Erlang, change Erlang to play."

The queen has four sons. The former prince died of illness, and the second prince is naturally the current prince Li Xian. The guards in the palace all know that he is very good at football, so they take the lead in shouting his name, hoping to restore the decline.

In order to calm down the noise among the people, Empress Wu Zetian said to Li Xian next to her: "Go down and participate, don't ruin everyone's fun." "My son, I have received the order."

"Mother, my son is going too."

King Zhou and King Xiang said in unison.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty loved sensual hunting. As a prince, as long as he was not naturally weak, he would be exposed to horse riding, archery, etc. Not to mention practicing all day long, the frequency would certainly not be lower than that of the imperial guards.

Soon the three brothers put on narrow-sleeved robes, wore turbans on their heads, wore hard-soled boots, and entered the court with a crescent-shaped stick in their hands.

This time, the officials immediately rekindled their hope and raised their arms and shouted again, not caring about the dignity.

I saw Li Xian riding a tall horse, with two younger brothers replacing three people, galloping to join them, running back and forth, the horse was unusual.

The atmosphere became heated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The person shouting the loudest was right next to him. Meng Fan saw Li Lingyue dancing with great enthusiasm. He obviously admired his three brothers very much.

Unfortunately, those Tubo people came well prepared and their skills were extraordinary. There was no doubt that they were carefully selected and trained for a long time before they were sent to Chang'an.

Although they have not seen previous competitions, all the princes in the imperial court are full of confidence. They think that the Tang Dynasty will win more and lose less.

In addition, many people sighed that this time the level of the Tibetan people was higher than ever before, and the words reached Meng Fan's ears.

The three princes clashed left and right and fought hard for about two moments. They found a total of five opportunities to hit the goal and hit three times. After leveling the score, the two sides reached a deadlock and the game was indistinguishable.

However, a Tubo man's horse suddenly lost control and hit the shoulder of Li Xian's horse. The already weak horse fell to the side and threw him off.

There was an uproar in the stands, and then a team of off-field cavalry rushed up, rescued Li Xian and brought him back, and the game was suspended at the same time.

The prince seemed to be fine, but he was limping and had a slight injury on his leg.

On the stage, the Tibetan envoy shouted:
"It's not a rampage, it's not a violation!"

"It's just a small collision."

Wu Zetian, who didn't pay much attention to Li Xian at first, also expressed concern: "Erlang, is it okay? Quickly, send the imperial doctor."

small injury...

Meng Fan could tell at a glance that there was nothing wrong with him, it was just that he had difficulty moving for four or five days.

But Li Xian said helplessly: "Go back to mother, I'm fine, it's just a moment of carelessness, I shouldn't have fallen off the horse."

Polo is an intense sport, and the Tibetan players were brutal, but it was still considered a small-scale conflict and there was no direct foul play.

Wu Zetian heard this and smiled generously:

"As long as no one is injured, it's just a shooting. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. We in the Tang Dynasty have magnanimity."

"The queen has a kind heart, which we admire."

The Tubo envoy listened and held his fist in front of him.

But he couldn't help but laugh afterwards, looking extremely proud.

This made the officials of the Tang Dynasty who came to watch the ceremony displeased. Meng Fan could clearly feel that his aunt, who had been very kind since meeting her, suddenly became serious.

It’s not just the attitude, it’s also about the title.

Now it's the second sage's court!
At this moment, Zhou Wang Li Xian, who was resting on the side of the court, rode his horse to the audience and said:
"Mother, please invite cousin Jiuru to come on stage."

Wu Zetian glanced sideways and asked, "Are Jiuru willing to play?"

 Influenced by Buddhist thought, the "killing ban" and "meat-eating ban" promulgated by Emperor Tenmu of Japan have been implemented. Since then, they have begun a vegetarian diet for all people. The already short height has been declining after the ban on meat.

  Finally, in the Warring States period, it was actually a battle between hundreds of villages. Honda Tadakatsu, nicknamed the number one in Japan, the unparalleled warrior in ancient and modern times, Japan Zhang Fei, and Dongguo Wushuang, was actually 1.4 meters tall.

  ps. Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian is good at Juju, which is recorded in history books. The second person to be included in the history and the Tang Dynasty royal family is Tang Minghuang Li Longji.
