The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

On the one hand, they were tempted by five buckets of rice grains, and on the other hand, they were attracted by Cuju. The next morning, the people of the village came one after another. Unlike yesterday, not a single one was late today.

Just like yesterday, Xun Zhen simply lined up the queue and went straight to the training ground.

When I came yesterday, there was no one on the venue, but when I arrived today, there were quite a few people standing around the venue. Although they were sparse, there were roughly thirty or so. Among them there were young people, some adults, some children, and two women.

Needless to say, this must have been attracted to Cuju.

After yesterday, some residents did not go home directly, but followed Xun Zhen, Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing and others to the pavilion, and saw with their own eyes that Xun Zhen handed over the rice to Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao. C and others proved that Xun Zhen did what he said, and they were much more active in signing up today.

——Xun Zhen invited Jiang Qin and the others to a banquet last night, and told Jiang Qin and the others at the banquet that they would not be on stage for the time being and leave the opportunity to the residents. Therefore, Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao Bing just smiled and watched Li Min sign up, and did not compete to play.

According to the front team and the back team, six contestants were selected from the applicants. Xun Zhen was still the referee, and the deputy referee was replaced by Jiang Qin. The game starts soon.

Not long after the start, the youngest son of the Feng family came again, still taking yesterday's big slave, standing in the position of yesterday, watching with great interest. Just like yesterday, Xun Zhen still turned a blind eye to him, and Quan Dang didn't see it.

Because Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing and others didn't play today, they were all from this "Ting". This "pavilion" has a radius of ten miles. The residents say that there is not much, but not much. There are only so many people who are skilled in Cuju. Every year, Hanshi competes together. Even if they have never competed, they have seen or heard of it. However, they are very familiar with each other, and the intensity of the confrontation may not be as intense as yesterday, but the atmosphere is far warmer than yesterday.

The cheers of the teams on the field and the cheers of the audience outside the field were one after another.

More than half an hour later, the first game was over, and the following teams, namely Beipingli, Fanli, and Chunli, won.

When he came today, Xun Zhen brought the prize and distributed it to the winning team on the spot. The eyes of the people watching were envious, and the eyes of the losing party were envious. Some couldn't help but say strange things, and some complained to each other. In some cases, strange words and complaints are also one of the motivations to stimulate enthusiasm. As long as it does not exceed a certain limit, Xun Zhen ignores it.

He heard one of the players on the losing side say: "Compared with skill, the people in the back team can't do it at all! They can win all because of corners. The Su brothers have liked corners since they were young, and of course we are not opponents!  … , why don't you tell Ting Chang, the next match is a 'white fight'?" The white fight is a test of skills.

The team member's words were supported, and many people crowded around him and made this suggestion to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay to try 'white fights', but you just said that the reason why the back team can win is all the corners, but there is something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Appropriately using the skills of the corner attack is within the scope of the permission. The big and small Su brothers won because they were good at the corner attack. How can it be called a fluke? In my opinion, if you lose, you lose, and you lose again. It's not that I can't afford to lose! The man should rise to the challenge, at most, won't it be better next time?"

The player on the losing side said unconvincingly: "The Su brothers have been in the practice corner since childhood, but I didn't have a good teacher. Even if I wanted to learn, I couldn't learn it! This is not fair."

"It's not fair? Then do I want to disable the cornering technique? If I do, wouldn't it be unfair to the Su brothers again?"

Most of the villagers were simple and honest. After listening to Xun Zhen's rhetorical question, they felt that it was reasonable.

Xun Zhen very much hoped that someone would come out and ask: "Then ask Chief Ting to teach us the art of cornering and hand-struggling!" But unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, he did not hear a villager say. However, he is not in a hurry, the training has just begun, and the most important thing at the moment is enthusiasm and initiative, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.

In the two-day competition, in addition to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the local people, Xun Zhen also gained other things.

The harvest is one point in general, and two points in the subdivision. That is: the ability of the players on the field, he gradually knew. There are two kinds of abilities, one is the level of physical strength and combat, and the other is the level of vision and tactics.

When the two teams face off against each other, the goal is the city gate, and the opponent is the enemy. The number of people is equal, and under the restrictions of the rules, there is no certain tactical level in order to break through the encirclement and interception of the enemy, and break the ball into the opponent's gate. is not possible. Even if this concept of "tactics" is still primitive, a spontaneous and instinctive budding state, it is "tactics" after all.

Those who can command and assist teammates to win on the court will surely outperform ordinary people on the battlefield after learning.

Moreover, like brothers like the Su family, whether it is because of their superior horns or because of their extraordinary vision, as long as they can convince the crowd on the court, they will surely gain prestige on the battlefield.

Xun Zhen came to the pavilion Zhongriqian. She was unfamiliar with most of the people in the village, and did not understand their abilities. If you followed the conventional method and approached and became familiar with them one by one, I don’t know how much time it would take! I'm afraid one year is not enough. With the current method, half a month or at most a month is enough. It may not be possible to be familiar with all the Limins who participated in the "preparation of bandits", but at least they will know very well those Limins who compete on the field. For now, he has basically been familiar with twelve people.

...

Come early today, there is still time to play another game.

After the first game, there was a half-hour break. Xun Zhen and the people in Limin chatted and talked for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, and announced the start of the next game.

Compared with yesterday, there were a lot of people who signed up today. Yesterday, there were a dozen or so in each of the two teams. Today, there are thirty or forty people together. Only one li in Peiping has signed up for more than ten. ——Xun Zhen estimated that many of them should have come with the mentality of fluke, rushing to "five buckets of rice grain".

No matter what their thoughts are, as long as they are willing to sign up, Xun Zhen will welcome them.

In the second game, the front team and the back team were formed respectively. This time, the back team was no longer led by Su Ze and Su Zheng, and the former team included Shi Juxian.

Xun Zhen was more interested in Shi Juxian, after all, they had known each other earlier.

After the game started, he paid special attention to Shi Juxian, but he soon discovered that Shi Juxian's ball skills were not very good, and his strength was not particularly outstanding. Xun Zhen couldn't help but turn her face and glanced at Chen Bao, who was cheering for her teammates outside the court. No wonder they had a good relationship. It turned out that they were similar in agility and flexibility.

...

Xun Zhen threw himself into the field, hoping to find good talents, but did not notice that the youngest son of the Feng family had quietly left soon after the second game.

The youngest son of the Feng family, named Feng Gong, is twenty years old this year and has just been crowned. As Tingzhong said of him, "he is a person on the scene". Although he is not young, his behavior is completely different from his father. He likes fencing, playing chess, Cockfighting, Cuju, or make friends with heroes.

On the day Xun Zhen went to his house, he was not at home, but went hunting with the son of the Gao family, the richest man in this town. When he returned from hunting, he heard from his family about Xun Zhen's visit, and also heard that Xun Zhen refused to accept the rice grains offered by his father. He treated Zheng Duo in the same way, but Xun Zhen was a son of the Xun family, even if he was just a "little pavilion", he shouldn't be so rude and rude.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Zhen used Cuju to practice the villagers.

On the first day of the drill, hundreds of people, some on horseback, some on foot, armed with all their weapons, were so mighty that they frightened the guests who were watching from the turret and thought they were coming for their house. After hearing the news, he climbed the building and looked at it from a distance. He thought that Xun Zhen would be the same as Zheng Duo when he took office. He taught the villagers the skills of fencing and hand fighting at the most, but he was surprised to find that he actually organized Cuju!

He already liked Cuju, so he brought his personal slave to watch it.

It wasn't until he got to the court that he realized that there were Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao Bing from Dongxiang Pavilion among the people playing on the court. Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing and others are all young chivalrous youths from Dongxiang Pavilion. He knew his name long ago, and he had drunk and gambled in one place. He knew that they were all arrogant and arrogant. Why did he come here willingly, willingly participate in the preparation of the "Ting", and take the initiative to play football?

After he went back yesterday, he sent someone to inquire about it. Although he was not a light chivalrous man, he was well-informed, and after inquiring, he realized that it was because of Xun Zhen's kindness to Xu's mother that Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao Bing were attracted to him. He linked this to Xun Zhen's rejection of the "Fifty Stones of Rice Grain" from his family before, and he felt more and more that his father had done something wrong.

A person who was born in the "Yingyin Xun clan" and who can "recruit local heroes" cannot simply be regarded as "the head of the pavilion"!

So far, in a day and a half of Cuju and more than two matches, Xun Zhen has spent most of the time observing the players on the court in order to find good talents; while Feng Gong has spent most of the time observing him, the more he observes, the more surprised he becomes.

Xun Zhen treats people, whether it is Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, Gao Bing and other "waiting" chivalrous men, or "Benting" Su Zheng, Su Ze, Shi Juxian and other local chivalrous men, or ordinary people They all look the same, gentle and gentle, but they can always convince people to follow his opinions in a "gentle and gentle" way.

Du Mai, Huang Zhong, and Chen Bao were all old men in the pavilion, and Xun Zhen had only come to serve for a few days, but these people were very respectful to him, without the slightest disrespect.

Moreover, he clearly found that the attitude of Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao Bing towards Xun Zhen was very different today from yesterday. Yesterday was reverent, but it was rusty; today's reverence was intimate. ——He also found out yesterday that Xun Zhen set up a banquet in the pavilion, and invited Jiang Qin, Gao Jia, and Gao Bing. Maybe this is the reason? Or is it some other reason?

Peek into one spot and see the whole leopard. No matter what the reason is, through the changes in the attitudes of Jiang Qin and others and the respectful performance of Du Mai and others, at least it can be seen that Xun Zhen must have the means to convince people, in other words, there must be something that "breaks people's hearts" .

At this point, he can be sure that his father is absolutely wrong.

Therefore, he left in a hurry before he had time to watch the second game.

Back in Zhuangzhong, he went straight to the backyard to find Feng Wen. Feng Wen is watching someone repair the warehouse in the courtyard. The two disciples climbed to the roof to check for leaks. Ignoring the dust falling from the roof, Feng Wen raised his head and instructed himself: "Look at the left side again! Be careful. There must be no gaps at all. If this is not checked properly, it will rain and snow leak. !"

"Father."

"..., you're back? Didn't you go to see Cuju? Finished kicking?... Hugou, I didn't tell you for my father, you are not too young, you are not a child, you are not a child anymore. , Bo play Cuju. The family has a little foundation, but Nai Weng has worked so hard to accumulate it! What if you were born in a poor family? I don't ask you to study and be motivated, and you always help with family work. Hurry up!  …, learn from your eldest brother, you see, he led the field slaves to the ground before dawn."

"Hugou" is Feng Gong's nickname. In order for the easy children to grow up, those who are parents often give their children "cheap names".

"Father, what you did to Ting Chang Xun Jun a few days ago was probably wrong!"

Feng Wen turned his head: "What?"

"Xun Jun~www.wuxiaspot.com~ seems to be kind, the boy has been observing him for two consecutive days, and he has never seen him get angry or blushed once, but he can be respected by young heroes and heroes from far and near. There must be ravines, mountains and rivers in its chest and belly, so don’t take it lightly!”

"What do you want to say?"

"He came a few days ago, and my father's actions to lead him to look after the warehouse, weapons, and vegetable garden at home may not be appropriate."

"What's inappropriate?"

"How can a person who can be respected by heroes endure insults?"

"Insulting? Where did you insult him? Did my family's food all fall from the sky? Which one was not harvested by Naigong's hard work? Without Naigong's hard work, would you be able to have today's anointing, running horses and cuju, and not doing the right thing? 'Insult'? He came to Tingzhong for many days, but he didn't come to my house, but he came when he asked for food! What do you think of Nai Gong? I don't care about him, in order to take care of the villagers in Tingzhong, like last year, I am willing to pay fifty Shimiliang, isn't it enough? 'Heroes are respected'? How can there be heroes in the countryside? But a group of undisciplined people like you who are not involved in production and wandering around! Are they also worthy of the word hero?"

Feng Wen spat and scolded Feng Gong: "You are not allowed to go out from tomorrow! Stay at home honestly,..." Staying at home is not enough, and he has to find a job for Feng Gong. When he saw the warehouse being repaired, Feng Wen pointed and said, "Fix the warehouse first!"

"Father!"

"roll!"

Feng Wen always said one thing at home, and when Feng Gong saw that he was angry, he did not dare to persuade him any more, so he had to retreat.

The big slave who served him closely said, "Young Master, although Xun Jun doesn't look like an ordinary person, you shouldn't quarrel with the head of the family for this!"

"What do you know!"

Feng Gong was worried and returned to his house, restless. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could not be left alone: ​​"Let's wait for the big brother to come back and discuss it carefully."
