Chapter 27: Winter Hunting
"Is it all arranged, this year's winter hunting, Guo Rong even brought his eldest son, but God help me, if this thing is done, you will all be heroes."
Li Chongjin entered the mansion, and there were also four people sitting in the house, in addition to Li Chongjin, there were two military generals and a scribe.
"General, please rest assured, this strategy has been prepared since the day Guo Rong ascended the throne, and it has been trained for six years now, and finally let the lowly post find a way to ensure that it is foolproof."
The scribe's three strands of beard were elegant, and when he spoke, there was a cruelty in his eyes, and then he disappeared again.
"You two, take someone to follow Mr. Xiao Zhuge after disguise tomorrow and follow his arrangement."
"The last general obeys the order, general, please rest assured, Mr. Xiao Zhuge has taken us to practice many times, and the last few times ......"
"Okay, be cautious, before the matter is completed, you must not reveal it, you go down and prepare, General Ben is also going to see my war horse."
Sent away the three people, Li Chongjin came to the stable, the stable raised a black four-hoofed snow-white horse, the name of this horse is called Wuyun Gaixue, Li Chongjin spent a lot of money from the grassland in the north to buy, it is said that this horse in addition to the horse is incomparable, there is an important characteristic, that is, this horse can fight tigers and leopards are not afraid of wolves.
"In the past, the overlord of Western Chu had a divine horse and a black horse, and this general now also has a horse and a dark cloud, tomorrow, it is time for you to show your might."
There was no word all night, and the civil and military ministers who were preparing to participate in the winter hunt were nervously preparing, and the annual Zhou State Winter Hunt can be said to be the grandest celebration of the Zhou Spring Festival.
As a modern person, Guo Zongxun is opposed to winter hunting, and even the fox fur given to him by his father is a little resistant, but he also knows that this is the Zhou Kingdom, here is 959 AD, this period, there are many kinds of wild animals on the land of China, and the hunting is not the so-called amusement of the nobles, but the real confrontation between people and beasts.
"The fourth prince, please be sure to let the last general and others protect you closely, this winter hunting general participated in it once last year, it is definitely not as simple as soldiers driving prey for the emperor and ministers to shoot for fun, the danger is ......"
"General Yue, don't worry, this prince is very sorry for his life, and he will definitely not run around, but this prince still has a task to hand over to you, and you must always pay attention to the safety of my father's side, Wei Companion, this matter will be handed over to you, you don't have to be sloppy."
"The minions obey."
On the edge of the hunting ground, there was already a tent set up by the soldiers in front of the palace, and Guo Zongxun's tent was not far from Guo Rong's Chinese army tent, and it was also within the protection of the guard division.
Wei Zhongxian got Guo Zongxun's order, gave up his hand, and disappeared as soon as he turned around and walked out of the tent, Guo Zongxun had Yue Fei here to protect him, so he didn't have to worry about it.
"General Yue, the fourth prince, mark a divine horse I saw just now......"
Zhang Tieniu rushed into the tent with a loud voice, but was pressed to the ground by Yue Fei with one hand, and now Wang Liang, Tian Daxi and others also understood that Yue Fei did not use all his strength to deal with them at all in the palace small school field that day, and even half of his strength was useless.
"Foolish, don't report the accounting, when my big Zhou's military regulations are decorations?"
"General Yue spared his life, and marked a moment of excitement, and then ...... Don't dare next time, don't dare, the fourth prince, you go out and have a look, General Li of Huainan Jiedu rode a dark four-hoofed snow god horse to participate in the hunt today. ”
Guo Zongxun frowned, and wondered in his heart, although this hunt is dangerous, it is still much safer than the battlefield fight, Li Chongjin actually rode a rare BMW horse, isn't he afraid that his father will see the hunt and snatch it for him?
You must know that the generals in the era of cold weapons have a much greater desire for a good horse than a beautiful woman.
Guo Rong naturally has no shortage of BMWs, and even Guo Zongxun is riding one of the most famous horses in the Imperial Horse Prison, but it is indeed rare to have a BMW covered in pitch black and four hooves stepping on the snow.
"There must be a lot of people going to watch now, this prince will not go to join in the fun, when he goes out hunting, he can naturally see, General Yue, this prince asked his father for a few arrows, and my soldiers can be freely transferred with the order, so according to what this prince negotiated with you yesterday, arrange it."
Guo Zongxun specially invited Yue Fei to his dormitory last night, and discussed for a long time, his idea was to always train soldiers for the purpose of hunting, and the hunt should also be treated as a fight between the two armies.
"The last general commands."
Yue Fei took over the three golden skins from Guo Zongxun's hand, this Guo Rong is also generous enough, Guo Zongxun ran to ask him for it, he really gave it, and gave three at once.
With these three arrows, it is possible to mobilize all the soldiers and generals in the entire guard division and the palace front division camp at will.
"Tian Daxi received the order, and the general ordered you to hold this order and lead twenty light horsemen to guard the sentinels around the hunting ground, and report with the detectives."
"The last will be ordered."
According to the regulations, except for the emperor's own army, no more than 100 people are allowed in each department, so after Yue Fei carefully selected the Hug army, a cavalry team of 100 people was also selected to participate in the hunt.
Wang Liang and Zhang Tie watched with bulls' eyes as Yue Fei put away the other two arrows, and they were helpless, one of them was the flag officer of the Hanzi Army, and the other was specially for the four princes to lead the horses and pedal, so they could only stay near the accounts of the four princes.
Everything is ready, Guo Rong's Chinese army tent also spread the will, the winter hunt began, the military generals lined up at the edge of the hunting ground, and the emperor wanted to give a lecture.
The winter hunting ground of the Zhou State, in front of a continuous mountain area more than 30 miles north of Kaifeng, there is a plain in front of the mountain and a forest with only bare branches left, plus a corner of the mountain, together constitute the royal hunting ground of the Zhou State covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres.
After the formation was completed, there was no doubt that Li Chongjin, who was standing on Guo Rong's right hand on horseback, became the most eye-catching figure, just because the dark cloud under his crotch covered the snow.
This horse was half a head taller than the BMW Guo Rong was riding, and Li Chongjin himself was also burly, when he stopped there, everyone's eyes looked at him, and Guo Rong was even ignored.
Guo Rong didn't care at all, and he would later clean up you, a fool who doesn't remember to eat or fight, and repeatedly offended my Tianwei, if you are the nephew of the late Taizu, I won't dare to touch you? Do you have to be willing to take away your military power completely and make you an idler?
Guo Rong came to the front of the queue, which was also a helpless move, originally his position was the center, but now he was robbed of the limelight by Li Chongjin.
However, after all, Guo Rong is experienced in a hundred battles, and this small scene is still easy to control, although Li Chongjin is riding a BMW with an incomparable horse, he can only stand there obediently and dare not move.
Guo Rong galloped around the open space in front of the hunting ground, returned to the field in high spirits, and said to the civil and military ministers in the queue:
"My Great Zhou since Emperor Taizu started its business, has lasted nine years, although the nine years are short, but my Great Zhou under the leadership of Emperor Taizu under the incomparable power, has laid a great territory for my Han family descendants, now, I inherit the will of Emperor Taizu, dare not slack off, all Aiqing dedication and conscientiousness, jointly created the glorious prosperity of my Great Zhou, I am very relieved, I believe that Emperor Taizu has a spirit in the sky, and will be very gratified."
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of the start of my annual winter hunt, which lasts for three days, and I have set up a heavy reward here, and the one who has obtained the most total number of prey and the heaviest single prey can be awarded in this hunt, and if any warrior hunts a lion and tiger, I will also give an additional reward."
"Ladies and gentlemen, show your courage to be loyal to my Great Zhou, and the front is the battlefield we are fighting today."
"All the soldiers, listen to my orders, draw your swords, and ...... forward"
Under Guo Rong's order, the soldiers of each family drew their swords one after another, and the roar resounded through the sky.
