Chapter 296 Decisive Battle at Grace Temple (First Battle Lose)

Wang Hua hurried to the Linde Hall, he didn't understand that although he silently sipped what his daughter said, such slow words would inevitably lead to the failure of the peace talks.What do you want to do silently?
When I came to Linde Hall, I saw that the whole hall was silent, and a girl stood in the middle of the hall, looking at everyone curiously. Wang Hua met Wu Zetian.Wu Zetian said: "Waiting for courtesy." Then pointing to the strong man named Chu Luodang, he said: "This is a Turkic warrior. He said that he wants to compete with us Da Zhou in terms of force."

Wang Hua looked at this big man, good guy, even in the blood camp, there is no such a strong giant man, and Yao Ming is probably not as tall as him.This is where Mo Shui found it, but such a strong man must have a shortcoming, that is clumsiness.

Wang Hua smiled and said, "Well, let me try it."

As he spoke, he asked for two horizontal knives from the guard, and handed one to the giant man.

Wang Hua didn't want to compete with this giant man, probably this is a strong man Mochu specially found from Turkic to find a place for Mo Hegan.If it is better to have a sword, and the sword moves lightly, this giant will suffer even more.But the main duty of the guards in the palace is not only to protect the safety, but also a guard of honor, most of them are axes, knives and guns, and they don't have swords on their bodies.So Wang Hua chose two horizontal knives, thinking that it would be awkward for this big man to use such a lightweight horizontal knives.

But they are not stupid, this Danzhu shouted: "No, if you want to compare weapons, you have to have weapons that are suitable for each."

Wang Hua said in a cold voice, "It's up to you."

After a while, two people carried a copper whip. Although they were carrying it, sweat was still streaming from their faces.It can be seen how heavy this copper whip is, and the edges and corners exude a chilling luster in the sunlight.

Wu Zetian waved to Wang Hua, called him to his side and lowered his body, "Wang Qing, I'm sure."

Some worry.

Wang Hua shook his head: "Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Talking and touching, he came to the outside of the hall, the place inside the hall was a bit small, and the sword was ruthless.This is also Wang Hua's request. Of course, in reality, he needs a bigger space, otherwise he will not be able to move around. Competing with this strong man, he may suffer a disadvantage.The bigger the field, the better it is for him.

When they came to the outside of the hall, two people stood there, and they were not polite at all, and they slapped them with a whip.

No. [-] He Wanghua didn't back down, he also wanted to try the weight of this giant man, don't be like Wagang No. [-]'s big paper hammer that wrapped Qi Guoyuan in fright, scaring Qin Qiong and Pei Yuanqing.With all the strength of the whole body, I met the whip, "Dang", there was a crisp sound.

Wang Hua's horizontal knife shattered a hole, and he retreated several steps, barely falling down.Not only that, but in order to prevent the horizontal knife from flying out, Wang Hua held it tightly, and the tiger's mouth shook with blood.

Wang Hua swallowed the blood in his stomach that seemed to want to roll, and fainted in his heart. This is the fierce man Mo Chuai found.

Wu Zetian stood on the steps and said worriedly: "Wang Qing is in danger."

"Your Majesty, don't worry," said one of the eunuchs.

Wu Zetian turned around and saw the eunuch, who was under 40 years old, a bit unfamiliar, while continuing to pay attention to the situation in the arena, he asked, "Why?"

"My lord, this is Wang Zhongying's test of his strength. Since Wang Zhongying did not choose his hand-made iron awl, but continued to use the horizontal knife, he is ready to use skillful tricks. The victory will be decided immediately."

"Oh," Wu Zetian looked at the field again after hearing this.

After touching the whip successfully, he immediately rushed over and slammed down the whip again. Wang Hua didn't dare to compete with him this time.Although Chu Luobing had great strength, it was full of flaws in Wang Hua's eyes. With such a tall figure, Wang Hua stood in front of him like a child, and his lower body was empty.

Wang Hua dodged to the side, and slashed at the thigh of Touching Loon, and Touching Loon cut down with the whip.Wang Hua immediately retracted the weapon, moved two steps to the side, and slashed again.

Although blood dripped from time to time because the tiger's mouth was shattered, but only for a while, under Wang Hua's slashing and slashing by the violent storm, Teng Luan began to fall into the wind, clumsy left and right.

Wu Zetian looked at the eunuch strangely: "How do you know that Wang Zhongying will definitely win."

The eunuch bowed and replied: "The servant once in a while went out to the palace for business, saw Wang Zhongying training with the soldiers of the Scarlet Battalion, and saw some of his skills, so I have a little foundation in my heart."

"What's your name?"

"Returning to the sage, the servant girl is called Yang Sixu."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "I heard that there is a servant in the palace who is quite capable of beating, but you?"

"That's the kindness of slaves in the palace to slaves."

"Very well, you will be transferred to my side to serve me in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"I'll ask you one more thing, if you fight Wang Zhongying, how will you win or lose?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, I haven't fought against each other. The servants don't know, but Wang Zhongying's body has not grown up yet. After a few years, the servants may not be Wang Zhongying's opponents."

Comrade Yang is very reserved, meaning that in a few years, Wang Hua will be compared with him. Now Wang Hua is not good enough.

After hearing what he said, they all looked sideways, including Tang Xiujing.Wu Zetian laughed even more, and didn't blame him, and said after laughing: "No wonder Wang Qing said that it is not that there are no talents in the court, but that I have not discovered and used good talents. Such a talent is by my side, but I have not discovered it. You should also remember this matter well, maybe one of your aides is also talented. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty also came from humble backgrounds."

Say hello together.

The battle in the arena gradually emerged. Because of the clumsiness of the body, although the whip was heavy, it couldn't hit Wang Hua's horizontal knife or his body, but the horizontal knife in Wang Hua's hand was like a poisonous snake, causing him fatal danger from time to time. threat.Chu Luodang shouted angrily: "If you have the guts, give me three whips."

Wang Hua laughed loudly and said, "This is a contest of force, not strength. Just like no matter how powerful you are, you still have to submit to your Khan, because you lack wisdom!"

After laughing, he slashed obliquely with the saber again. At this time, due to the battle for a long time, his physical strength gradually exhausted, his body became more clumsy, and his reaction was fairly quick, so he slashed away with the whip.But it was still succeeded by Wang Hua, a tear was split in the clothes, and a long bloodstain was drawn out.

Dan Zhu yelled: "Stop, stop. There's no more competition."

The two stopped.

"It doesn't count, I want to compare my strength."

Wang Hua looked at the savage princess, and he asked: "Princess, let me ask you, did the soldiers on both sides put down their weapons on the battlefield, then stretched out their hands and wrestled their wrists. Which side wins, is that side the winner?"

Danzhu shook his head.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty laughed.

"This is to convince you. If on the battlefield, a strong man like yours has no mount to ride, at most he is a pacer. Even if there is a mount for him to ride, the speed of the horse is also due to his Weight, delay down. I want to kill him, it's easy to catch him."

As he spoke, Wang Hua took out a bow from the guard's hand, and fired three arrows in succession.The first arrow took away the felt hat that was on the head of Chu Luodong, the second arrow and the third arrow respectively passed under the flanks of Touched Luodang, taking away a piece of robe.

"Good archery, hello, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I don't want to marry your grandson, can I marry this General Wang Hua?" Danzhu shouted excitedly.

Wang Hua sternly shouted: "May I ask who among the envoys can truly be the Lord, please stand up, and don't let the princess of your country continue to mess around!"

The barbaric princess will have it, but it's too much to disregard the national system.This is simply humiliating the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty directly.Wu Zetian waved his sleeves and said, "Wang Qing, don't worry about this matter. Let them go back to China after the [-] competition is over. Forget the marriage. If anyone dares to speak up in the future, I will drag him into the Meridian Gate and behead him immediately."

After speaking, trembling with anger, he led a large group of people out of Linde Hall.

The savage princess was still standing where she was, and said in a daze, "Did I do something wrong?"

It is also very embarrassing to make a group of Turkic envoys.

Tang Xiujing spoke to several prime ministers in a low voice, and then winked at Wang Hua.Wang Hua understood and left a group of Turkic envoys to Yanying Hall. This was Wang Hua's first visit to Yanying. Compared with other conference halls in Daming Palace, Yanying Hall was slightly smaller.

But entering the Hall of Yanying is the dream of all ministers.Several prime ministers agreed to Wang Hua's entry into this hall to discuss matters, which also meant that they had truly begun to accept him by default.

Tang Xiujing said: "Although this princess is messing around, Mo Chuai won't mess around. Everyone, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he stared at Wang Hua.

Wang Hua also shook his head blankly.He didn't remember very clearly, but Wu Zetian was frightened by Mochuu's beating this time when Shishi got married, and finally agreed humiliatingly.This time, the family alliance is also very necessary for Mochuu. The Turks have been fighting all the year round because of their poor soldiers. Although the surrounding countries have been silenced like cicadas, domestic conflicts are also intensifying.After a few years of recuperation, Mochuo led troops south again, but at that time Li Xian had already ascended the throne, and he was in the hands of Li Longji, harassing the Tang Dynasty for decades.This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty had to let the side generals have more power in order to deal with the enemy flexibly.And this caused An Lushan to finally control the 40 army and the culprit.

Of course, before the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks finally declined first because of conflicts with the Tang Dynasty.

But now the actions of this savage princess made Wang Hua puzzled.It should be said that his own two wars have aggravated the intensification of internal conflicts in Turkic, and silently should seek peace.Don't say that this princess is barbaric, if Mo Shui told her again and again before she left, what happened today would not happen.And let the princess lead the envoys to come, silently may be ready to intensify the conflict between the two countries.

Why is he doing this?

Neither Tang Xiujing nor Wang Hua could figure out the reason, and this group of civil servants was even more confused.There was no other way, Tang Xiujing had no choice but to take out the map, and the border defense needed to be strengthened again, where the troops needed to be increased, and the cities needed to be rebuilt in those places.Prevent the Turkic people from finding an excuse to invade the Tang Dynasty again because of the failure of this marriage.

In the afternoon, Wu Zetian also came over.

She handed a copy to Wang Hua, it was Mo Heqian's apology letter to Wu Zetian after hearing about the scandal that happened in Linde Hall in the morning.He said in the notebook that the princess is innocent and innocent, without any scheming.But when I went all the way south, I loved the culture of the Central Plains, so I accidentally saw two poems written by Wang Hua. poetry.So she said that entering the palace of the Tang Dynasty was like entering a prison, and she didn't want to marry.That's why there was a scene of nonsense today, and now he is persuading the princess to let her understand that in fact, the princess of the Tang Dynasty can also go out, and even open the house.Let her plead guilty to Wu Zetian, and finally forgive her.

After Wang Hua read it, he felt amused, and passed the excerpt to other ministers again.It's just a simple trick.

Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "Wang Qing, don't laugh, the three of you are talking tigers. Sometimes these little tricks are very effective."

Wang Hua sat upright and said, "Yes."

Wu Zetian said again: "But I am not King Zhao Xiaocheng and King Yanhui."

Although Lao Wu said so, even Li Qiao understood that the actions of the barbaric princess today were not intended to use this countermeasure to make the Tang Dynasty distrust Wang Hua.If Wang Hua had more power, as the governor of Shangzhou, or the chief protector of the governor's mansion, there is still this possibility.

But now that Lao Wu is here, it is better for the monarch and his ministers to sit together and discuss.There is no good way, send an envoy to inform Mo Chuan of what happened today, whether this marriage is intended by the princess or not, it has seriously insulted the dignity of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way to continue.But the competition is still on schedule.

Doing so is justified, and it will not allow the Turks to find more excuses.

After all, even Xiujing was unwilling to fight the Turks from the bottom of his heart.Otherwise, when it was Li Shimin, this savage princess would have made such a fuss, and an edict had been issued long ago, and the army had marched into Mobei.

But Lao Wu finally said: "Also, if it really doesn't work, let's fight."

Don't hold back, this princess is rude, she actually called Datang publicly, and changed her country name.Knowing that it is not good for the country, I also want to go to war.

One after another edicts went to various places, but Chang'an gradually became lively.Because it was related to the state system, Wu Zetian issued a gag order to all the guards and eunuchs in the palace, strictly forbidding them to leak this matter.It was 23 in a blink of an eye.

Countless people flocked in front of the Temple of Mercy.

The first contest was Juju, which took place in the open space outside the Ci'en Temple.In order to prevent the horses from being frightened and run out, fences with a height of more than half a person were built.Players from both sides came out on horseback, and there were some referees standing around, all of them were envoys from various countries, but God knows whether they were real envoys or fake envoys.After a batch of investigations by Honglu Temple officials, many foreigners continued to stay in Chang'an and were fostered under the name of Honglu Temple.

However, Mo Chuo was not so stupid as to let Tang Chao choose the referees.They also selected some Dubo, Luolu, etc. who had close ties with the Turkic people, or had been forced to submit to the envoys of the Turkic countries.There are also some Turkic merchants.

This also put a lot of pressure on Wang Hua. Apart from polo, the other two handicrafts are very controversial, just like the battle of Qinggangling. It is possible that those so-called referees will judge Wang Hua to lose six pieces of porcelain to the Zheng family.Of course, that doesn't exist now.But Wang Hua not only wanted to win, but also had to win clearly, so as not to lose his tongue.

A guard puts the ball on the halfway line and the two sides start.Now this kind of shooting is relatively barbaric, unlike the later polo, there are many rules to protect the players from injury.No matter how you hit the game now, it doesn't matter. There are only a few simple rules.

From the looks of the players on both sides, the Turkic players are still wearing simple clothes, but their physical fitness looks better, and all of them are brave warriors.Someone started to pick up the hourglass to count the time, half an hour.A guard waved a small flag.

The two sides began to scramble, and Wang Huazheng stood by and watched with relish.Suddenly someone said in his ear: "Erlang."

Wang Hua turned around and saw that it was Li Gu'er who was speaking to him in a low voice.During this period of time, Li Gu'er hadn't contacted him, and he thought it was the two people sleeping together that he said that night, which made her angry.During this period of time, I was busy and had no energy to be distracted. I just finished work in the morning.He also planned to ask her out after finishing this matter and explain.

He also whispered, "Zuo'er."

Li Gu'er took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and Wang Hua noticed that she had lost weight in the past ten days without seeing her, and looked around to see if the ministers were not paying attention to them, Wang Hua asked again in a low voice: "Gu'er, what happen?"

"I'm very sad," Li Gu'er said, tears falling even more.

Wang Hua was puzzled, but he couldn't cry out loud at this time, otherwise everyone would be watching. He said again in a low voice, "Touch the old place at night, and then we'll talk."

Li Baoer nodded.

Even though he said that, Wang Hua became suspicious in his heart, what happened to make Li Bao'er so sad?He raised his head in a daze, only to find that the situation on the scene had changed.It was supposed to be executed, but the Turks ran away.One by one, they reined in their horses and bumped into Tang Chao's Juju players. Each of them rolled over, and five players had already been replaced.Among them, two Turkic men and three Tang Chao men were trampled and injured by galloping horses, and one Tang Chao team member was dying.

But Tang took the lead and scored a goal.

Wang Hua frowned. Although he was leading by one goal, if this continued, it would not be good for Tang Chao's kicking players.After a while, as he expected, because of timidity, two Turkic players rode on horseback, and a player from the Tang Dynasty reined in cowardly and got out of the way to get a goal back.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian said in a low voice: "I will send an edict to these people, and each of them will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and they will be exiled for three thousand miles."

angry.

This oral order was passed on when another member of the Tang Dynasty was injured.This time the morale of the Tang Dynasty team members cheered up a little.Although Wang Hua didn't understand it, he could also see a little bit. Compared with the cooperation, the Tang Dynasty players had the upper hand. The main reason was the barbaric style of play of the Turks, which made the Tang Dynasty's kicking players afraid.

With the cooperation, Tang Dynasty players scored another goal.

Suddenly a Turkic player yelled in Turkic language. Following this yell, the Turkic player seemed to be desperate, and the reining and bumping movements became more obvious. After a while, five or six players were injured and replaced.The most arrogant thing is that the Turkic people knew that the Tang Dynasty players had fallen off their horses, but they continued to pretend that they could not control their mounts and trampled on them, causing the two Tang Dynasty players to step on their intestines.

The people watching from the sidelines began to curse, but the Turkic people still went their own way.

As a result, the newly recovered morale of the Tang Dynasty players suffered another serious blow.

In fact, Juju is a very popular sport now, and even some soldiers in the barracks like to play it.Several emperors of the Tang Dynasty were also fans of this sport, and sometimes participated in it themselves.There are also special players in the palace to perform for the royal family, and these players are selected from these professional players.

But this is the first time I have encountered such reckless Turks.Most of these players come from proud and powerful families, and they have some skills, but they never thought that a good shot would turn into a real death together.

More than half an hour passed, but the Tang Dynasty players finally became scared after several companions sacrificed.Although their coordination and ball skills are better than the Turks, their riding skills are still obviously inferior.After a while, the Turks regained a goal and made another charge. With the howling of wolves and ghosts by ten Turks, the Tang Dynasty players once again had a gap and allowed the Turks to score another goal.Another wave of impact and another goal.

Wu Zetian angrily brought Wang Hua back from the south, specially made a dragon and phoenix cup for her, threw it on the ground, and said, "What a shame!"
