The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 195 Drinking orders and lottery

As dusk approached, Zhao Tun slowly walked out of the imperial city.

Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Deng Xunwu, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others came out with him, everyone's face was gloomy and their hearts were heavy.

Tongzhi Privy Council Wang Xiang, with 2 commanders of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, joined Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road with nearly [-] local Forbidden Army, Xiang Army, and Township Soldiers. The state fought three battles.

All three games were defeated, Shuzhou fell, 2 people were killed and only five or six thousand were left.

Now Wang Qing has occupied two prefectures and nine counties, and is heading for Luzhou, the capital of Huainan West Road.

Luzhou is an important town in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. It is the throat of the Jiangnan, Zhejiang and other roads leading to Gyeonggi.

Once Luzhou fell, half of the land passages in Gyeonggi and southeast roads were strangled, and the money, food and other goods in the south could only go through waterways, or go around half a circle to Tokyo.

Going around in half a circle is at most a bit aggrieved in normal times, but if there is a war, especially if there is a war on the northwest border, it will be fatal!
So... Luzhou can't lose!
The Emperor Daojun was furious in the hall, indiscriminately scolding everyone, even Cai Jing, who always rewarded chairs for sitting, stood until the end and almost fainted on the ground.

Then the Emperor Daojun ordered that Deng Xunwu, a member of the Privy Council, order [-] forbidden troops and [-] chamber soldiers, a total of [-] troops to send to Huaixi, and join Wang Xiang's remnants. It is bound to defend Luzhou and wipe out the rebel Wang Qing.

Naturally, the copper pots can't be placed too close, and they can't be too far away, after all, too close is too easy, if it's too far away, one or two is fine, if there are too many, I'm afraid my wrists won't be strong enough.

If it is difficult, it is that Duan Yichang never asks for help!
From childhood to adulthood, including the matter of cultivating the Caiyun horse, none of it was obtained by asking for it.

He doesn't ask for anyone, including his parents. When he wants something, he always makes a statement. It's easy for the other party to compromise. If he doesn't compromise, he can't get what he wants, and he can't do what he wants to do. If the means can't trick the other party, that's all.

Zhao Tong said: "This is the right thing to do, let's talk about it."

Two days later, Deng Xunwu, a member of the Privy Council, ordered an army of [-] cavalry and [-] troops, and left the city to Huaixi...

Duan Yichang hurriedly said: "My lord, the last horse race was won by the lord, this time it's Yi Chang's turn."

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "Prince Duan has any ideas?"

In the evening of that day, Duan Yichang changed into a new royal blue robe, and went to meet Zhao Tong's banquet.

He wanted to use some means to do it, but he was distracted several times. He deeply suspected that King Qi was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he didn't have any evidence...

On the way out of the palace, no one spoke, and everyone looked gloomy. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhao Tun got on his horse and stayed in the study until midnight before going to rest.

After three glasses of wine, he suddenly said: "My lord, although the singing and dancing are good, it's always difficult to participate in it, and it's not enough to enjoy yourself."

The wine is also different, there is no sweet fruit wine at all, Hua Diao Nv'er is red, Green Ant is stuffed with white, Fengqiao is blue, and Ximo is yellow, Duan Yi feels dizzy for a long time.

After a while, Lei San moved a large copper pot to the pavilion, and then two guards from the mansion brought two hundred arrows, one hundred of which were white feathers dyed black, and distributed them to the two.

"What do you mean flying flowers and throwing pots?" Zhao Tun was a little puzzled, he knew that Duan Yichang had a purpose, which he could see from the first time he came to the door, that time was a testimonial, but the appetizer must have another purpose .

But right now, he traveled across mountains and rivers to go to Song Dynasty, but someone asked him to ask for a calligraphy of King Qi.

Tossing pot wine orders is relatively common. People who are not good at archery often use copper pots instead of targets to throw arrows for fun. In order to increase the difficulty, they sometimes put a screen in front of the pot for "blind throwing", or play "back throwing" with their backs to the copper pot. .

Zhao Tong entertained Duan Yichang in the Cracking Golden Pavilion, but this time it was no different than last time when he invited Xiao Min. Last time, there were a lot of sweets, pastries and drinks, but the dishes were also light in taste, mainly fish, shrimp and seafood.

Zhao Tong said: "It's just you and me, even if we drink wine, don't we want to write poems and lyrics? Or do we want to shoot arrows?"

Ask the king of Qi to write a calligraphy of Chang Acacia!
This matter is easy and easy to say, but it is also difficult to say, because as long as you sincerely ask, with the current relationship between Song Guo and Dali, you will not refuse.

"Putting wine orders?" Zhao Tang nodded.

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It's very good, it's just a trivial matter, I'll order people to prepare it now."

"A novel way of playing?" Zhao Tang looked at him and said, "This king likes to hunt for novelties the most, but he doesn't know how to play this novel way of playing?"

Duan Yichang said: "My lord, Yi Chang thinks it's better to make a drinking order?"

This time, it was all written by a hero, game cattle and sheep, whole chickens, ducks and geese, smoked, grilled, stewed with spices, and steamed with various ingredients.

Duan Yi said: "The lottery is that the loser has to promise the winner a small thing. Naturally, it is a small thing that can be easily done and is harmless."

"My lord, the pitching pot I said is slightly different, it's flying flowers pitching the pot." Duan Yichang said respectfully.

Duan Yichang grew up in Dali since he was a child, and he has never seen these side winds. At this time, holding a wine glass, he rolled his eyes again and again, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Li Caitou..." Zhao Tang looked at him with a half-smile.

"Yi Chang knows that my arrow skills are ordinary, so he came here to throw the pot. Could it be that he wants to lose to me on purpose again?" Zhao Tong said again with a smile.

Duan Yichang shook his head like a rattle drum when he heard the words: "My lord, I thought of a novel way to play, I wonder if my lord would like to try it?"

Duan Yichang's eyes flickered and said: "Just now, seeing those singing and dancing actors, their dancing postures are rough and wild, with a special flavor, so Yi Chang came up with a novel throwing pot wine order."

Duan Yichang nodded: "That's why Yichang thought that ten matches would be a round, the loser would drink, and a hundred matches would determine the final winner, and then there would be a lottery."

"So..." Zhao Tun frowned, "Are you going to prepare two-color arrows?"

In short, it is impossible to ask for it!

"My lord, Fei Hua throws the pot not only to throw the pot, but also to have two people throw the pot at the same time. During the period, they can fly the opponent's feather arrows so that the other party cannot enter the pot."

Although he didn't know what was going on in the Song Dynasty and the troops were frequently dispatched outside the city, those were not what he cared about, the only thing he cared about was the thing he was asked to do before leaving Dali.

As for singing and dancing music, there are naturally some, but that kind of softness is not seen in Yingge and Yanwu. It is Hujia [-] beats, and even the dances are Tuozhi dance, sword dance, and exotic dance!

After leaving the gate of the Guest House, Duan Yichang got into the carriage after looking at the two lush pine trees in front of the gate.

"Exactly." Duan Yi said: "Ten arrows can be used as a game, and the loser must drink."

Zhao Tong said, "Ten is too few."

This person was so close to him that he couldn't refuse.

Although arrows are also used in throwing pots, it is completely different from archery. What is tested is the strength of the wrist. This is why many people are not good at archery.

Lei San placed the big copper pot at a similar distance from the two of them, and said, "My lord, it's ready!"

Zhao Tang took ten arrows in his hand, and looked at Duan Yichang with a smile: "Prince Duan, is it alright?"

Duan Yichang respectfully said: "My lord, I'm ready, and I ask you to go first."
