Vol 2 Chapter 1397: National Football VS Japanese Football?

"...On April 22, General Yuchi led fifty thousand elites, joined forces with Xiazhou's thirty thousand soldiers, and went to the mountains outside Shuofang City on the same day. Shen Fa and Zhong Chang, two Taichang monks, went to In Shuofang City, I tried to persuade Liang Shidu to surrender.
Upon seeing this, General Yuchi ordered Liu Min, the governor of Xiazhou, to send Neiying into the city. He also sent General Xue to lead the cavalry that night to trample all the crops outside the city. The Liangshi heard the news and guessed that my Datang army was outside the city. On the second day, the Sifang City Gate was sealed, and no entry or exit was allowed;
In the next few days, General Xue led the cavalry continuously and trampled on the crops outside the city. After all the crops had been trampled, on April 25, General Yuchi led an army to surround Shuofang City, besieged but not attacked! At this time, due to the lack of food, the people in Shuofang City are already in panic, mobs are everywhere, the army is mutinous, and chaos is growing! In order to get rid of the predicament as soon as possible, the Liang division sent several cavalry troops to break out of the siege and go to Turks for help!
On April 27th, the Turkic general Ashina Sheerbin led 20,000 Turkic wolves to assist Liang Shidu, but he did not know that General Chai had already set up his pockets in the countryside. He was caught off guard, and the Turkic army suffered heavy losses in the first confrontation. After the eclipse day of Tengu came, General Chai took advantage of the dim sky to kill Ashina Sherri with a rain of arrows. After daybreak, the Turkic army threw away their helmets and ran away.
In this campaign, General Chai killed more than 10,000 Turkic wolves at the cost of less than 100 casualties. On the side of Shuofang City, Liang Shi was beheaded by his cousin Liang Luoren. Later Liang Luoren led the officials and generals of Shuofang City. When Kaicheng was surrendered, Shuofangcheng was able to take it down without blood! "
In the Ganlu Temple, the messenger soldiers from the front line bowed and reported to Li Er the specific process of the battle of Shuofang City. Li Er could not help Long Yan Dayue when he heard the words, and said: "Haha! Good! Good! This battle is good! Ah! You go down and rest first. After the army class returns to the court, I will discuss the merits and rewards!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! We will retreat at the end!"
The sergeant clasped his fists and retreated quickly.
Li Er was in a good mood, and was about to move to the harem to share the good news with Queen Changsun. A little walked in outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Yongan Hou, please see you!"
Li Eryi was taken aback, stopped, sat back and said, "Let him in!"
"Here!"
After a while, Li Zexuan came in from outside the hall and saw Li Er: "The minister sees your majesty! Congratulations to your majesty for the victory on the front line and regaining Shuo Fang. Now my Datang has finally unified the Central Plains~!"
When the messenger soldier was reporting the battle results to Li Er, Li Zexuan was waiting outside the hall to be summoned. His ears were sharp, and those words naturally fell into his ears verbatim.
Li Er happily said: "Hehe! Get up! Your boy's news is quite clear. Now the court has not only recovered Shuofang City, but the Turks are also sending troops because of the Liangshidu. In this way, after the Tang Dynasty, the troops sent to the Turks are also regarded as divisions. It's famous! The strategy you made at the beginning has now all been realized. No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a great achievement. What rewards you want, just tell me!"
It can be seen that Li Er is in a very good mood now. The main reason is that the war fought is so beautiful. Not only did he recover the Shuofang who had been separated for more than ten years, he also seduce Jie Li Khan to send troops. It is not too perfect! And all this is attributed to the strategy of "priests before soldiers" put forward by Li Zexuan!
Li Zexuan hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister did not personally go to the battlefield, let alone kill an enemy, just moved his lips, how can he take credit? Those soldiers who threw their heads and blood on the battlefield should be rewarded!"
This is not humility, but sent it with feelings. Even without his advice, Li Er’s powerful "think tank" would come up with the best strategy, because in the official history, Liang Shi did not give Li Er at all. What a trouble it caused!
Li Eryi was taken aback, as if he had just met Li Zexuan, he looked at Li Zexuan up and down, and then said with a smile: "Ha ha! It seems that I have been with Li Gang and Yan Silu for a long time in Yanhuang Academy, your kid My temper has also been tempered and has become more and more calm! Not bad! Not bad! Then you came here today, what is wrong with me?"
Li Zexuan smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, the people sent by the minister to Bashu have replied that the local Qiang people have agreed to the minister to mine the mine, thinking that although the land of Bashu is very developed in agriculture, it is inconvenient due to the local traffic jam. Communicating with the outside world is not conducive to the development of local commerce, so this time the minister not only intends to send people to mine veins, but also to build roads for the land of Bashu, bring famous shops from Chang'an to Bashu, and open there by the way. Qianzhuang, promote Tang Yuan to replace copper coins! I hope your majesty will give you permission!"
Li Er nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Well! I am very pleased that you can have this idea! The land of Bashu is very important to my Datang. If I can connect Bashu with the Central Plains, it will be equivalent to that of Datang. There is a very stable rear guarantee. In the past, Bashu was able to support Liu Bang hundreds of thousands of Han troops. This is enough to show how much the land can support people! Therefore, I am allowed to build roads, open shops, and open banks. A plan was submitted to me these two days, and the court will appropriate a batch of money to help build roads in the land of Bashu!"
Li Zexuan happily arched his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
It is said that this kind of people’s livelihood of repairing bridges and paving roads for places is best done by the court. It is not that Li Zexuan is reluctant to pay, but that this kind of thing will be done by him. The charge of bribing people's hearts caused the emperor's suspicion. Now that Li Er is willing to let the court allocate money, it is naturally the best!
Li Er thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "This Yanhuang Bank is the most correct decision I have made in the past two years! I heard Ke'er say a few days ago that the bank has not only solved the problem in the past six months since its establishment. The shortage of money also made my business activities in various parts of the Tang Dynasty more prosperous! Ke'er launched a deposit interest-earning business at Yanhuang Bank this month, and he absorbed countless gentry, merchants, and common people’s copper every day. He also loaned these deposits to private merchants for a fee. It is said that the monthly profits add up to tens of thousands of dollars. This is just the beginning, which really surprised me!"
Li Zexuan heard this, but there was no surprise. He folded his hands and smiled: "His Royal Highness Shu is talented and can often draw inferences from one another. Now that he has experienced in Yanhuang Bank, he can achieve such results because of his majesty's usual teachings!"
"Haha! You kid!"
When Li Er heard this, he pointed at Li Zexuan with his finger, and said with a smile: "I am busy with country affairs, how can I have time to teach Ke'er? You said that, are you complimenting yourself? Actually, I don't need you to say, I also know that Ke'er thinks. There must be your hints behind these ideas. In short, I am so relieved that Ke'er can learn this kind of classics in the academy!"
Li Zexuan smiled and did not answer.
"Oh, right!"
Li Er suddenly said: "Some time ago, Li Chunfeng asked me to take the post of Mr. Yanhuang Academy concurrently. Your kid told me Haosheng, what fascination soup did you pour him into, so that he would never forget Yanhuang Academy?"
Although Empress Changsun had solved Li Er's heart that day, Li Er still couldn't figure it out, because it stands to reason that the only thing that Yanhuang Academy is attractive to Li Chunfeng is the astronomical telescope, and Li Chunfeng already has the right to use this thing. Yes, but why does that guy have to go to Yanhuang Academy to be a husband?
Li Zexuan remembered the scene of "Flicking" Li Chunfeng that day, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He coughed slightly, straightened his face, and said:
"Your Majesty, Daochang Li is a scholar of heaven and man, and he is extremely talented in physics. He is about to penetrate the profound meaning of the universe and stars, and is likely to become the greatest physicist in the entire Tang Dynasty and even the entire world! Yanhuang Academy is able to achieve his dream The place, I must be a gentleman in Yanhuang Academy, he decided after careful consideration! Your Majesty’s permission is enough to show that your Majesty’s heart is broad, and he can be called a master of the world!"
"The meaning of the stars in the universe? The greatest physicist?"
Li Er couldn't help but murmured, and then said in a bad mood: "You kid don't slap me ass, I warn you, in the future, the idea of ​​not hitting the officials of the central government will not only have a lot of things in your academy, but also the government affairs of the court. The talents that I carefully promoted were all deceived to the academy by you. Those three provinces and six departments, who is going to handle government affairs? Isn't the court messing up too?"
Li Zexuan was speechless, and he muttered dejectedly: "What is cheating! I am clearly a capable "huyou"!"
"what?"
Li Zexuan's voice was too small, and Li Er didn't hear too clearly, but he knew that Li Zexuan must have not said good things, so his voice was raised by an octave!
"...Uh, nothing, nothing! The minister said, the minister will not dare anymore. If your majesty orders nothing, then the minister will leave first~!"
Li Zexuan quickly changed his words to cover up.
Li Er glanced at Li Zexuan suspiciously, and then said: "It's okay, you can go back!"
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen, quit!"
After all, he turned around to leave the hall!
Who knows, at this moment, Li Er's voice came from behind, "Hey? Wait a minute!"
Li Zexuan was speechless, I thought, Lao Li, are you kidding Xiaoye? I'm anxious for Xiaoye, Xiaoye, I...
"What else does your majesty give?"
No way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Li Zexuan turned around and walked in front of Li Er again with a smile on his face.
Li Eryi said with a serious face: "There is one thing that I want to entrust you to do. If it is done well, I will have many rewards!"
Li Zexuan arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please speak, if the minister can do what he can, he will do his best!"
In fact, this guy feels a little disapproving in his heart, because he knows in his heart that his current title and official position are basically in an embarrassing situation that he can't be promoted. There is no way, whoever lets himself become a Datang at a young age. Where is the unique Wanhuhou? If you go up further, where should you put the faces of the founding heroes?
Li Er nodded with satisfaction, then said:
"Yesterday, the envoy of the Japanese country, the current prince of the country-Shanbei, the eldest brother, came to me and wanted to make a bet with me. He said that the current rating league organized by the Datang Football Federation has ended. Datang football was very interested, so he formed a team and wanted to compete with my best team in Datang. If it wins, he hopes that I can allow the Japanese to send foreign students to Yanhuang Academy in the future. If they lose, he is willing to give out 40,000 catties of brass to Datang!"
Li Zexuan's heart was tight, and he quickly asked, "Will your Majesty agree to the request of the Crown Prince of Japan?"
At this moment, he was secretly cursing in his heart: Sure enough, imperialism will kill my heart. This prince of the Kingdom of Japan has always coveted the advanced engineering knowledge of Yanhuang Academy. The last time he failed to bribe with a beautiful woman, he came to think of Li Er again. Looking for opportunities is abominable!
Li Er looked at Li Zexuan strangely, and said: "As a kingdom of heaven, the Japanese kingdom is a small country in a small country. How can we be unreasonable in the competition they put forward? Wouldn't it be my data? Majestic? Besides, this football originated from my Datang, I still don’t believe it. My Datang’s team will not be able to play against the Japanese team? Since the mountain back brother Wang is willing to give me 40,000 catties of brass, How can I not accept it?"
"........."
Li Zexuan was almost mad when he heard the words. I thought, Lao Li, you are too bad, right? Young master, even if I face the princess of the Kingdom of Japan, I still sit back and relax, so I don't want to protect the knowledge of Yanhuang Academy from being mastered by foreigners? But it's okay for you to accept such a cheating bet, what do you ask me to do?
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for your offense. You really shouldn't take this gambling game! The prince of the Kingdom of Japan covets my heart of Yanhuang Academy of engineering, and it has long been revealed. Even if we are sure to win the game, we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. , If they really win, do you really want to allow them to send foreign students to Yanhuang Academy?"
Li Zexuan looked angry and arched his hands at Li Er. There were a lot of irreverent words between the words ~EbookFREE.me~, which were all infuriated by Lao Li!
Li Er didn't feel annoyed when he heard this. He smiled and said: "What you said, I also understand clearly in my heart, but as the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, facing the challenge request from the small country of Fanbang, do I have to refuse? Should it? If it is spread out, the reputation of the Tang court among the people will surely drop. Wouldn't it be considered that it has also been caught in the tricks of the Japanese?
Therefore, instead of avoiding it, it is better to fight head-on and win! Of course, to be on the safe side, I ask you to select a group of top-notch players from my top teams in Datang, and participate in this game after good training! You are the pioneer of Datang Football. You are most familiar with the rules of football. It is up to you to select and train the players. I don't believe that the Waguo team can win! "
Come on! You really value me!
Li Zexuan smiled bitterly in his heart, and felt a sense of pressure inexplicably. This courage is related to the honor and disgrace of the Tang Dynasty and whether the knowledge of Yanhuang Academy will be leaked, so he can't help but not bear it. After thinking for a moment, Li Zexuan arched his hands and said: "So, Then the minister of errand has taken it! I don’t know, when is your majesty scheduled to play against the country?"
