The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 149

[Chapter 149 Selection]

Liang Hu’s clothes were soaked with sweat, and the scars on his face looked a little ferocious in the sun.

He has always been known to be strict with his soldiers, but he always appears to be very respectful when facing Fang Xiu.

Maybe it was because of the Arms Library case that only Fang Xiu was willing to take huge risks to report the matter to the emperor, so he was like this.

“How are you preparing for the pro-military review?”

Fang Xiu looked at Liang Hu and asked. road.

Liang Hu looked hesitant, and after a moment, he replied: “General, with bows, horses, and formations, I have already begun to select elites and started preparations.

But football and capture the flag, I have never heard of it before, so I don’t know.” Know how to do it. “

Football and Capture the Flag are both new projects created by Fang Xiu, and they also occupy a certain proportion in the assessment of the pro-military review. Although they are not very important compared with the horse arching team, they are still important. enough to affect the final ranking.

Therefore, Liang Hu treated these two items very carefully.

Not only Liang Hu, but also other guards were cautious when they learned that there were two new events in this year’s pro-military parade.

Some guards even specially invited Cuju masters to train their team members.

Of course, Cuju and football are two completely different things, but there are similarities.

Under the guidance of those Cuju masters, the strength of each guard team grew very rapidly.

In this aspect, the right feather Linwei has fallen far behind them.

As for the event of capturing the flag

, it is much simpler than football, both in terms of rules and difficulty of practice.

All in all, they fight each other hand-to-hand, and the one who grabs the ball and defends it to the end is the final winner.

You don’t need to worry about picking players who are good at footwork, just pick some soldiers who are physically strong.

“You only need to be responsible for the bows, horses and formations, and the rest will be left to me, the general.”

Fang Xiu patted Liang Hu on the shoulder and said, “In this pro-army competition, not only your majesty and the civil and military officials, but also foreigners The envoys of the state and the people in the capital must be careful and never lose the majesty of our right wing Lin Wei.”

Liang Hu looked solemn, bowed, and said: “I obey your orders!”

“Okay,”

Fang Xiu said. He waved his hand and ordered: “Today’s training ends here. Send two people to get ten footballs. I want to select football players.”

“Yes, General.”

Liang Hu nodded, turned and walked towards the parade ground, saying loudly : “Today’s competition ends early. Everyone stands in line. The general is going to select football players. Those who are selected can not participate in training during this period and concentrate on practicing football!”

As soon as these words came out, the people who were fighting each other on the review field The soldiers all stopped, with excitement on their faces.

What did Captain Liang just say?

You don’t have to participate in training! ?

For these soldiers who were about to be tortured crazy, this was undoubtedly the greatest reward.

Nothing makes people feel happier than not participating in exercises.

“What are you doing standing there in a daze? You have to be whipped by the captain before you know how to stand still!?”

Liang Hu saw this scene, with a hint of evil in his brows, and roared violently.

At this time, not to mention the soldiers at the parade ground, even Fang Xiu was shocked.

Soon, under Liang Hu’s “gentle” urging, the soldiers stood in line. Compared with before Fang Xiu left, they were neat and uniform, comparable to the soldiers of later generations who had gone through countless trainings.

Then, several more soldiers walked into the parade ground dragging sacks filled with footballs.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu walked to the front of the team and glanced at the soldiers first.

Seeing their desire to become football players revealed in their brows, he nodded happily and said, “This pro-military competition is extraordinary. Not only your Majesty, but also civil and military officials, foreign envoys and the common people of the capital will all be present. Watch

, so you must be attentive and exert all your strength, and you must not be perfunctory.

This general made a bet with others. In this pro-army competition, our Youyu Lin will definitely win the first place. Wei, the bet is 10,000 taels of silver!

If any of you drags your feet and makes me lose the bet, I will break his legs!”

The soldiers in the audience looked at the young general. The reaction was

why this general is so young.

Then, hearing his words of encouragement, I felt a little warmer in my heart.

Although General Fang has been in office for three months, they have never seen him, but no matter what, he is also the general of our right wing Lin Wei, and he always looks towards the brothers.

But

after hearing the second half, they began to wonder again, had they heard it wrong?

A bet of ten thousand taels of silver.

Are you going to break our legs if we lose?

The

soldiers resisted the urge to curse, and looked at Fang Xiu with something a little strange.

Beside, when Liang Hu heard this, his rough old face also twitched, and he suppressed it so as not to show any abnormality.

Fang Xiu looked at these soldiers and continued: “In short, this pro-army competition must be done carefully! For

the rest, I will not chat with you here. Starting from the first row, everyone will receive a ball. “Those who succeed in throwing the ball five times will stay, and those who fail will leave.”

Fang Xiu said, winking at the soldiers around him.

They immediately opened the sack and more than a dozen footballs rolled out of the bag.

“First row, come up and take the ball!”

Liang Hu stood aside and shouted loudly.

The soldiers in the first row who were called, about a dozen of them, came up one after another to receive the ball.

After receiving the ball, he stood back to his original position and looked at Fang Xiu with slightly nervous eyes. He was a little overwhelmed with the ball in his hand.

Cuju is an unpopular sport in Chu State, and it is more about performance rather than competition.

On weekdays, there are few people in contact, so these soldiers don’t know what to do after getting the ball.

They didn’t even understand what Fang Xiu meant by bumping the ball, so everyone looked at Fang Xiu eagerly.

“Bumping the ball, as the name suggests, is to continuously and gently hit the ball in the air with any part except the hands. The ball completely leaves the body and does not fall to the ground. It is counted as one time.

Those who succeed five times will stay, and the rest will You can leave.”

Fang Xiu explained as he looked at the soldiers holding the ball.

When the soldiers heard this, they whispered for a while before they understood the rules.

“Okay, from now on, you only need to successfully flip five times. There is no time limit.”

As soon as Fang Xiu finished speaking, a soldier started his attempt.

He gently put the ball on his feet, lifted the ball with a sudden force, and then saw the football flying into the air and falling quickly.

The soldier chased hard and tried to catch the ball before it hit the ground, but the ball fell too fast. As soon as he reached the halfway point, the ball had already hit the ground.

At the same time, Fang Xiu’s voice came: “You can leave”
