Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 246 Linwu Greenery
Lan Tian hasn't come back to Laiwu for a long time, so Li Yang keeps him to live in the village for a few days.

Lantian planned to stay in Linwu for two or three days, and then return to Quanling by the northern waterway, so he asked Hao Pu to go back to Chen County to handle county affairs, instead of staying with Xindengzhuang.

Back in Xindengzhuang in the afternoon, Lan Tian asked Li Yang to find some craftsmen to sew a round 'football' out of animal skins according to his requirements. The twine forms a giant web.

Hearing that Lan Tian was making something new, and it was a 'toy' for the children, Lu Lingqi waited and watched for a while, then led the children back from the street.

"Uncle, what kind of toy is this?" Adou asked curiously.

Lan Tian smiled and replied, "Football."

"Football? Then how do you play football?" A Dou asked again.

"I will teach you tomorrow." Lan Tian said kindly.

Knowing that they can only play tomorrow morning, the five little ones swarmed away again. Just after leaving the hospital, Lan Ji came back again, tilted his head and asked: "Father, we have a lot of people, so you should do more."

After Lan Ji finished speaking, he ran away in a flash, but Lan Tian smiled slightly and ignored him.

Li Yang said worriedly: "There are not many hunters left in Linwu County. If we really want to ensure that every child in the village has a football, the animal skins are simply not enough."

Lan Tian said with a smile: "These are enough for now, and I will add more when there are more animal skins. Now you and I will choose a venue."

"Wei." Li Yang followed behind Lan Tian with a question mark on his face.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Lan Tian and Li Yang found a relatively flat grassland under the uphill slope in the northwest of Xindengzhuang.

Lantian stands on the hillside and looks down. At the turn of autumn and winter, the weeds on the ground are withered and yellow, and smoke rises from Xindengzhuang not far away.

"It's really a good location. The next spring will return to the earth and the green grass will be a good time for children to play." Lan Tian said to himself.

Lan Tian took out a blueprint of the stadium that he had hand-painted from his arms, and asked people to use wooden sticks and twine to define the boundaries of the stadium, determine the positions of the goals on both sides and the length of the fixed wooden bars, and finally asked the accompanying soldiers to put the stones inside Clear All.

At dawn the next day, Lan Tian took the carpenter to the stadium to assemble the goal, and asked the painter to draw lines on the grass according to the drawings, and a simple football field was quickly formed.

Around Chenshi, Deng Ai brought many children to the football field, and the team of five little ones expanded quite quickly.

Seeing that there were only a few balls on the court, Lan Ji complained, "Father, why are there so few toys? Look at how many of us there are."

Lan Tian explained with a smile: "This game is called football. 22 people play one ball. Now I have prepared five balls, which is more than enough."

The children were full of doubts, what's the point of 22 people grabbing a ball?
Lan Tian found a few Huotou from the army to serve as referees, and then explained the rules while demonstrating. Both the Huotou and the children listened with half understanding.

Afterwards, Lan Tian divided the children into groups according to height and size, and the five little ones from Lingling who were not much different in age were assigned to the same team.

Lan Tian asked for the whistle from Gao Shun, and as the referee began to direct the first ball game of the Three Kingdoms era, but after the opening game, except for the goalkeeper, the other [-] children rushed to grab the football.

Beep beep beep beep.
The whistle on the field kept blowing, and the surrounding people were also baffled. Lin Wu Ling Xu An also came to the scene, wondering what kind of game General Lan is?Is it too complicated?

It is difficult to promote a sport, especially teaching from scratch. Lan Tian did not fully follow the rules of modern football. He believes that men need some blood, and physical collisions are essential.

Not long after the first game started, Lan Tian called the players aside.

He took out the schematic diagram of the formation in his arms and introduced: "Just now the offense and defense were disorderly. , center, and defender should cooperate closely, and they can choose their positions according to their respective advantages. For example, Jier can be a striker because he can run quickly and flexibly, and Yuaner can be a center forward with a calm personality.”

"Uncle, I seem to be suitable as a goalkeeper." A Dou scratched his head and said.

Lan Tian nodded and said that you really know how to choose. The goalkeepers of strong teams are indeed leisurely, but the goalkeepers of weak teams are busy.

"You guys adjust the division of labor again. We will play the game within half an hour, and the rest of the teams are still waiting in line." Lan Tian clapped his hands and said.

After being reminded by Lan Tian, ​​the teenagers of the starting two teams finally started to run decently, and gradually cooperated with passing and catching the ball, and the enjoyment was much better than at the beginning.

The whistle sounded at half an hour, Lan Ji scored two goals, Gan Gui scored one goal, and ended the first game with a score of [-] to [-]. The team of Quanling's five little ones won.

Afterwards, the children from the two teams of Xindengzhuang continued to play. Just now they understood the general idea while listening to the sidelines. Lan Tian also handed over the referee's whistle to a Huotou.

The five little ones went to drink water after the game. When Lu Lingqi was wiping Lan Ji's sweat, she asked very puzzled: "Twenty people are running around a ball. Look at all of you sweating profusely. Is it really interesting?"

"Mom, this football is really fun. It's more fun than riding a wooden horse, hopscotch, or goat jumping, and it's not tiring at all." Lan Ji said excitedly.

"I'm not tired either." Adou said with a smile.

Lan Tian saw that the kid wasn't sweating much, and thought that you, the goalkeeper, are certainly not tired.

Gao Shun looked at Lan Yuan, who was drinking water, and said, "Sir, this football match is very much like two armies at war. Whether it is offense or defense, it seems to imply the art of war. Yuan'er just now looks like a general commanding the army."

"I scored two goals, I'm the general." Lan Ji quickly claimed credit.

Gao Shun: "Uh, Yuan'er is a general, and Ji'er is a vanguard general."

"Gan Gui is flexible and smart, Gao Ling dares to fight, A Dou defends the goal well, and the children play well. Now let's sit down and watch the game and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses by observing others." Lan Tian commented and praised like a head coach.

"Okay." The five little ones answered in unison.

Looking at the farm boy running on the field, Lan Tian said in his heart that I have advanced this sport again. Later, people have to strive for success. Why don't they hold a World Cup in the Han Dynasty after the unification?

There are many participants in football, and it takes a long time. You don’t have to worry about your safety when you run on the grass. Li Yang happily came to Lan Tian, ​​"Young Master, this football game is very good. In the future, the children will have another game to play with." place."

Lan Tian pointed to the surrounding area and said: "This place is very close to Xindengzhuang, the school can be built here, and children can play while studying."

"Wonderful, I'll start making arrangements tomorrow." Li Yang couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

At noon in autumn, the sun is not hot.

The sun shines on the golden millet and wheat fields, and the grains that are pressed as far as the eye can see, Lan Tian suddenly fell into deep thought.
