"With a knife on your neck, you still care about benevolence, justice and morality? Killing one person is killing, killing a hundred people is killing. If you don't want to be killed, kill someone." The words of innocence rang in the young man's ears again.
In a word, his heart surged like a tide. He must not lose this game! The young man held the reins tightly with one hand and controlled the club with the other hand as he galloped along the right sideline.
.Why can the captain of the Hexi Military Academy boss him around, and why should the Guozi team lose to that team of Ya soldiers? People are not animals, and there is no need to judge based on their birth status! Although he was surprised by the young man's outburst, the Hexi Ya soldiers
Under Zhang Shouyu's command, a line of defense was quickly organized. A short-built, flesh-faced tooth soldier rode a Zaohua horse.
The beautiful horse rushed toward Li Kuo's left hand. At the same time, a member of the defense on the left side of the Hexi team also came forward. In an instant, the two of them sandwiched Li Kuo in the middle, leaving no room for the young man to breathe.
But Kuo was not worried. He waved his forearm vigorously and hit the sepak takraw ball far forward. This move was extremely abnormal, and the two tooth soldiers were shocked.
Dumbfounded. A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Kuo's mouth, and he pulled the reins hard with his left hand, dragging Qingfeng Shengsheng away from the direction he was going! However, the young man did not stop, his body weight was slightly forward, his feet were slightly tapping the horse's belly, and he was walking around the side of the horse.
The male queen made another turn and happened to catch the sepak takraw ball rolling forward. This shot was so exciting that there were cheers from all around!
In an instant, Li Kuo had escaped from the heavy encirclement and was galloping across the plains of Pingchuan like a cavalry in Mobei. Zhang Shouyu frowned and ordered to the person beside him: "Tu Laosan, go and get that little boy
I'll stop you at all costs!" After a slight pause, Lieutenant Zhang said again: "Don't hurt anyone!"
"Your Majesty, General!" Tu Laosan made a military salute on horseback, and then chased Li Kuo in front of him. Probably he was riding a sweat-blooded horse of a noble breed, and within thirty paces he
Then he caught up with Qingfeng. He was only half a horse away from Qingfeng.
When he was in position, Tu Lao San actually grinned at the young man. The yellow teeth full of grease made the young man particularly disgusted, so he couldn't help but speed up a lot. When the horse distance between the two sides was about the same height, Tu Lao San
Three, he found the right opportunity and suddenly pulled back the reins.
The sweaty horse was frightened, and immediately hung up in front of it, making a long hissing sound. Tu Laosan used his stick to give the horse a hard slap on the rear buttocks, and the sweaty horse subconsciously pointed towards Qingfeng's left hind leg.
Stepping up, Qingfeng’s hind feet hit the ground at this moment
, the weight of the sweaty horse's whole body was pressed between Qingfeng's legs, how could it bear it? Li Kuo only heard a cracking sound of the horse's bones breaking, and he and Qingfeng were thrown forward to the right. The young man never thought that his opponent would deliberately hurt people.
, but still trying his best
, with his body already losing balance, he knocked the sepak takraw ball back in the air to Chen Runzhi, who stepped forward to respond. A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, he raised his head provocatively at Tu Laosan, and then threw the man and the horse to one side.
on the parapet. Although Tu Lao
San successfully blocked Li Kuo's attack, but he resorted to killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred. Although the bloody horse trampled the breeze, it relied on the weight of his whole body. At this time, although he could barely control
You won't fall, but you won't be able to turn around again
Galloping. Tu Laosan cursed as he watched Chen Runzhi catch the sepak takraw ball lightly and move forward steadily. Chen Runzhi was not greedy for success after controlling the ball. He took only a dozen steps and passed the ball to Cao Yu on the left side.
, the young man of the Cao family is not a stickler for the ball either.
Hexi Yabing stepped forward to grab the ball before passing it to Yu Dongwei, who was in the back row. After some passes, only Zhang Shouyu was left in the backcourt of the Hexi team who hurriedly returned to defense.
The children were torn apart!
Zhang Shouyu's heart was full of anger. He didn't understand how his carefully trained dental soldiers could stumble in front of a group of stinky boys. He didn't understand how the Hexi Army's iron-barrel defense line could fall within a few shots.
A flaw was revealed in the passing room. However, none of this matters anymore. Those stupid kids no longer have the manpower to take care of them. With their own strength, they will definitely be able to break the sepak takraw ball!
However, Yu Dongwei did not seem to be aware of the danger ahead and continued to drag the sepak takraw ball step by step. Just when the two horses were about to collide head-on, Yu Dongwei swung his stick and lifted the sepak takraw ball into the air.
Everyone held their breath, because they saw a black thunderbolt galloping from twenty steps away. The moment before the sepak takraw ball hit the ground, Zhang Yanji swung with all his strength. The ball was in mid-air.
It drew a beautiful arc and perfectly spun into the goal in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
"Hey!" Zhang Yanji let out a long breath, waved his stick provocatively at Zhang Shouyu, then hit the horse and ran towards Li Kuo. Just now, the hard step of the sweaty horse seemed to have injured Qingfeng's muscles and bones. At this time, the green horse
The gray horse was lying on the loess school ground, neighing. Fortunately, it was clear.
Li Kuo was thrown out when Feng fell. Otherwise, if the weight of several hundred kilograms of horses were to fall on the boy, the consequences would be disastrous. However, Li Kuo did not seem to have injured his muscles and bones, but there were a few scratches on his right arm and cheek. Seeing Zhang Yanji hit him
The horse came, and the young man stood up slowly, holding Qingfeng.
"Brother Kuo'er, are you okay? Those evil men in Hexi were fooled around by us. It's really satisfying!"
Li Kuo couldn't bear to ask his friends to worry about him, so he forced out a smile and said: "I'm watching, you guys cooperated very well, everyone didn't stick to the ball, and passed the ball in one shot!"
Zhang Yanji raised his head proudly and said: "Of course, we have been practicing passing and receiving for so long, how could we give them the slightest chance." After a slight pause, Zhang Xiaolangjun gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "But those evil guys
Han Ye went so far that he openly hurt people in front of His Majesty! If we had known that this was the case, we would never have allowed you, Brother Kuo, to tear apart their defenses."
Li Kuo shook his head lightly and said, "You still don't understand, there are some things that men cannot avoid."
Due to the appearance of an injured person, the game came to a standstill. Out of caution, the ceremonial officer stepped forward to check on the young man's injury, and then went to the royal chariot to respectfully request His Majesty the Emperor's ruling. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to avoid physical contact in polo matches.
Injuries are inevitable. The martial arts prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, so if the injury was not serious, the game would probably not be interrupted. However, the successive provocations of the Hexi soldiers were obviously difficult to explain with reasonable collisions. This was already a **
Naked provocation.
Li Longji frowned. According to the report of the ceremonial officer, Li Kuo was obviously knocked down maliciously. Although the young man was not seriously injured, if he did not make a gesture, he would probably chill the hearts of the scholars.
.But recently it is the time to use troops against Tubo. If the perpetrators are severely punished, I am afraid there will be dissatisfaction in the army.
. He had just appointed Ge Shuhan as the military governor of Longyou, and he had set such a big trap for himself, which made Li Longji very angry. He had always known that the Ya soldiers in the border town were arrogant, but he did not expect them to be so domineering.
.You dare to openly commit murder in the forbidden gardens of the imperial capital, but if you reach the border, you will not be able to become the king and hegemony?
Li Longji was about to have a fit when he saw Ge Shuhan kneeling before him, kowtowing and sobbing: "Your Majesty, Brother Shuhan, did not say a word, which is a disservice to the emperor. Please allow me to take the perpetrator back to the military camp and severely punish him."
." Li Longji felt funny in his heart, this brother Shu Han
His skill in reading people's hearts is first-class. He stood up before he even opened his mouth. But that's fine. Since he has a good attitude, it's better to take it easy. But he has to do enough work on the surface, or he can beat this mess.
.(Note 1)
After thinking about it, Li Longji waved his hand and said: "I usually teach you how to treat others with courtesy, but I respect the teachings of the saints. We, the Tang Dynasty, govern the country with courtesy and virtue. How are the actions of your men like the soldiers of Jiedu? Deliberately hurting people.
, What is the difference between a domineering and arrogant person and a bandit and a robber? Are they turning a deaf ear to my words and thinking that I am good but can be bullied?"
"I'm scared!" Ge Shuhan said with a trembling voice, covering his face on the ground. "I have always followed your Majesty's instructions to govern the army and the people, and treat the people of Hexi as my own. It's just that I am usually busy with military affairs and have less time to take care of these trivial matters.
Let them develop such arrogant and domineering bad habits. I will definitely train them strictly in the future to repay Your Majesty for your kindness."
Li Longji snorted softly and said: "I just hope you will remember what I said today. To be a soldier or a general is to open up territories and guard the borders to protect the people. If you rely on your own merits to poison the people, you are no different from the rebellious officials and traitors.
, everyone gets it and kills it!
"After a slight pause, Li Longji continued: "Those tooth soldiers don't need to blame them too much. You tell them to save their energy and fight the Tibetans. When you capture Dafeichuan and lay down Luoshou City (note)
2) I personally celebrate your success!"
"I obey your decree!" Ge Shuhan bowed again and respectfully replied.
With a combination of kindness and power, the drama was enough, and both the king and his ministers were happy. Li Longji was very satisfied. Ge Shuhan was a sensible person and could fully understand the meaning he conveyed. For him, he didn't care about one or two tooth soldiers.
As long as the Hexi Army can defeat Dafeichuan for him, he will not be stingy at all in favor of high-ranking officials.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave a few more instructions to the ceremonial officer in front of him, and then he was chatting and laughing with Concubine Yang again.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the prince's guest, Li Kuo, is brave and courageous. He is a role model for the young talents of the Tang Dynasty. He is promoted to the Xuangjie School Lieutenant (Note 3) to encourage him."
The chief of ceremonies loudly recited His Majesty the Emperor's grace to everyone. The voice spread far, far away...
Note 1: Geshuhan was from the Geshu tribe of the Western Turks. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty trusted the Hu'er and believed that they were more loyal than the Han people. Therefore, half of the Jiedu envoys in the ten towns were Hu.
Note 2: Dafeichuan: In the Qieji Plain southwest of today's Gonghe County, Qinghai. The tragic defeat of Dafeichuan in 670 of the Tang Dynasty marked the overall rise of Tubo. Until the Xuanzong period, under the leadership of famous generals such as Li Wei, Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, etc.
After the war, the decline was reversed and the front was pushed to the west of Qinghai Lake and Jiuqu. Therefore, the Tubo people have always been a sharp sword in the heart of the Tang Dynasty.
