Chapter 328: Wolf Hunting
When I saw the beggar elephant, it was past noon.
The beggar elephant was sulking in the house, and a middle-aged man was sitting next to him.
The middle-aged man was about thirty years old, with a broad red face, unusually thick black hair, and a hint of wildness in his eyes, looking both sunny and unruly.
Since he practiced watching people, Lu Xiaoxian has developed a habit: observe strangers first.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian could see at a glance that the middle-aged man in front of him was not a simple person.
"Chief, what's wrong with you? Aren't I welcome? Lu Xiaoxian smiled and greeted the beggar Zhongxiang.
The beggar Zhongxiang also smiled reluctantly, and said apologetically: "Master Lu, where are you, why don't I welcome you?" I was just bitten by a dog just now, and now I'm on fire in my heart! Makes you laugh! ”
"Bitten by a dog?" Lu Xiaoxian heard the voice of the beggar Zhongxiang, and asked with concern, "What happened to you?" Can you tell me about it? ”
Before the beggar Zhongxiang could speak, the middle-aged man on the side had already taken over and said hatefully: "It's not because of Yan Ke's Laipi dog, he ...... just now"
Yan Ke?
Lu Xiaoxian was stunned, could it be that Yan Ke had come to the Su Mo Yan tribe.
He glanced at the middle-aged man and asked the beggar Zhongxiang, "Chief, I don't know who this is......"
"Look at my memory!" The beggar Zhongxiang patted his head and introduced to Lu Xiaoxian, "He is my eldest son Zuo Rong!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded, looked at Zuo Rong, and did not speak.
In the memory of Lu Xiaoxian's later generations, this Zuorong is also a bull in the history of the Tang Dynasty. In a few years, he will establish the Bohai State in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. The Bohai Kingdom was successively passed down to the 15th Dynasty, which lasted 229 years.
If he had just crossed over, he would have seen a big man like Zuo Rong, and Lu Xiaoxian would have felt excited. But now, even the first emperor Wu Zetian has seen it, and when he sees Zuo Rong again, of course he won't be too excited.
Besides, Zuo Rong is not famous at this time.
Historically, Zuo Rong established the Bohai State precisely because of the Khitan rebellion, which gave him the opportunity. Now, Lu Xiaoxian is changing the trend of history, and if he finally succeeds in preventing the Khitan rebellion, it is estimated that this Bohai country will be stillborn.
Zuo Rong didn't know why Lu Xiaoxian looked at himself with such a gaze, he saluted Lu Xiaoxian generously and said: "Master Lu, as soon as my father came back, he told me about you, it is our honor that you can come to Su Mo Jin as a guest!" ”
"Zuo Rong Gongzi, I'm also very happy to meet you!" Lu Xiaoxian responded politely.
Zuo Rong Gongzi?
Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, how to listen to this title makes people feel awkward.
Zuo Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with this title, and grinned.
Lu Xiaoxian asked, "You talked about Yan Ke just now, what's wrong with him?" ”
Zuo Rong's face, which was still like a clear sky just now, suddenly became cloudy, his smile disappeared, and he said coldly: "Yan Ke, this dog thing, actually wants my sister to be a concubine for Wu Sansi, this is simply too bullying!" ”
Yan Ke asked Hun Nu to be a concubine for Wu Sansi?
Lu Xiaoxian was stunned, and immediately understood.
If he guessed correctly, Hunnu, like the jade deer of the Fan family, was also a birthday gift that Zhao Wenhui was going to give to Wu Sansi.
These people were about to go crazy when they thought about it, and Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh.
They are all pig-brained, and in any case, the Hun slave is also the daughter of a beggar Zhongxiang, isn't this an obvious attempt to force the Su Mo Ya tribe to rebel?
Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved, and asked, "Sister Ling is a slave girl?" ”
Zuo Rong nodded and asked suspiciously, "Do you know my sister?" ”
"I don't know!" Lu Xiaoxian said casually, "But in Immortal Town, I have witnessed the dance of the Hunnu girl, it is really beautiful!" ”
"That's it!" Zuo Rong's face was proud, "My sister has loved singing and dancing since she was a child, and many future generations have lined up to marry her......"
Speaking of this, Zuo Rong suddenly stopped, like a string that had been played too quickly, suddenly broken.
Lu Xiaoxian could see that in Zuo Rong's calm eyes, there was clearly worry and confusion that could not be concealed.
He asked tentatively, "Young Master Zuorong, what are you going to do?" ”
"What else can I do, this thing definitely won't work!" Zuo Rong's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "If it's really urgent, it's a big deal that we'll leave......"
"Shut up!" The beggar elephant suddenly roared in anger, like a rolling thunderbolt, and it went far, far away.
Seeing that his father was angry, Zuo Rong's face sank, and he kept silent.
The beggar Zhongxiang said weakly and slowly: "Young Master Lu, you came at the right time, I just want you to help me come up with an idea!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "Leader, let me think about it for the time being, and I'll reply to you when I'm ready, how about it?" ”
The beggar Zhongxiang looked at Lu Xiaoxian's eyes and reluctantly agreed.
The atmosphere inside the room became dreary.
Zuo Rong felt panicked, he suddenly stood up and said to the beggar Zhongxiang: "Father, you should accompany Lu Gongzi first!" I'm going wolf hunting! ”
The beggar didn't speak, just nodded.
Wolf hunting?
Lu Xiaoxian's eyes lit up, he coughed lightly, and pleaded to the beggar Zhongxiang: "Chief, I have nothing to do to stay here, can you let me go with Gongzi Zuorong, I have never seen a wolf hunting!" ”
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the beggar Zhongxiang hesitated a little: "This ......"
Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "Chief, maybe go and see the wolf hunt, maybe I can come up with a good idea about the Hunnu girl!" ”
The beggar Zhongxiang heard Lu Xiaoxian's words, so he had to nod his head in agreement.
The beggar Zhongxiang turned his head to Zuo Rong and instructed: "Gongzi Lu has handed it over to you, he is our honored guest, you have to worry more about it, don't go wrong!" ”。
"Don't worry! Father! Zuo Rong nodded.
……
Zuo Rong was dressed in red, riding a red horse, and came to the White Wolf River with Lu Xiaoxian.
They set up a big tent of the Chinese army here, and all the generals of the Su Mo Jin tribe rushed to the tent to listen to the order.
Lu Xiaoxian thought it was just a simple wolf hunt, but he didn't expect Zuo Rong to make such a big move, just like going out to fight.
Zuo Xin reported to Zuo Rong: "Dashuai, 30,000 horses have been assembled in the White Wolf River, please give an order." ”
Zuo Xin is Zuo Rong's younger brother and a member of the tribe.
Zuo Rong ordered the three generals to bring their headquarters and spread out to the left and right along both sides of the river valley, leaving a space of ten miles in the middle of the river valley. After unfolding, the two sides of the strait come together end to form a large circle.
Zuo Xin was ordered to be the commander in front of the formation, and after the encirclement, he quickly reported to the Chinese army.
Order the pro-soldier horse team to stand by in place.
Seeing that Zuo Rong's command will be very sophisticated, Lu Xiaoxian is not
You nodded secretly.
The generals answered: Yes!
After the generals left the big tent, Zuo Rong and Lu Xiaoxian came to a high ground outside the tent of the Chinese army. Here you can look down on a long distance, and every move of the warriors of the Sumo Ya tribe can be seen clearly.
After the enclosure was formed, Zuo Xin reported that the river valley had been enclosed and signs of wild wolves had been found.
Zuo Rong ordered each team to beat the drum and shout forward, and then report it to thirty miles.
Zuo Xin received the general's order and turned to leave.
After an hour, Zuo Xin came to report again: it had been tightly encircled to the river valley for thirty miles. The wolves in the enclosure were dense, about 300 up and down.
Zuo Rong ordered to advance another ten miles, each team strictly guarded the position, not a single wild wolf was allowed to escape, and those who violated the order were dealt with according to military law!
Zuo Xin took the order again.
Zuo Rong ordered the pro-soldiers: Get ready to attack!
Zuo Rong's pro-soldier team was quite numerous, with more than 1,000 people. They are all fierce and brave, and they should all be carefully selected from the warriors of the Su Mo Ya tribe.
Zuo Rong said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, please come with me to watch the battle." ”
Lu Xiaoxian followed Zuo Rong to the front of the formation, only to see the pro-soldiers rushing into the formation like a whirlwind, and the surrounded wolves immediately fled in panic.
The riders of the pro-army team had a clear division of labor, and kept an eye on the wolves on the periphery in pursuit. After a dozen laps of chase, the wolves were exhausted, foaming at the mouth and slowing down.
Then the riders of the pro-army rushed to the front, swung their scimitars, and slashed the wolves one by one.
Zuo Rong ordered: The pro-soldier team collects the troops!
The riders of the pro-soldier team heard the sound of the gong and quickly dragged the dead wolf out of battle.
After the captain of the personal soldiers counted, he reported to Zuo Rong: Eighty-six wild wolves were killed in the first battle.
Zuo Rong said: "Very good! Take a break and fight again! ”
In the second formation, more than 90 wild wolves were killed.
Zuo Rong sent an order to the whole army, beating drums and cheering, and he wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy in person.
The sound of drums shook the sky in all directions, and Zuo Rong rushed into the formation alone and rushed towards the wolves.
Soon, a big wolf was rushed out of the wolf pack, and Zuo Rong stared at the outlier wolf and chased after it.
The wolf was foaming at the mouth, but suddenly he turned back and sat down on the ground, and howled at the horse.
Zuo Rong urged the horse to circle around the wolf and whipped the wolf with a long whip, and the wolf howled.
As soon as Zuo Rong's legs were forced, the jujube red horse immediately rushed towards the wolf.
The wolf raised its front paws to meet it, and the red horse suddenly turned around, and its two hind hooves flew up and kicked towards the wolf's eyes.
The wolf's eyes were bleeding and he rolled in place.
Zuo Rong drew his waist knife and cut off the wolf's head with a wave of his hand.
The officers and men of the whole army burst into cheers.
Zuo Rong rode out of the battle and ordered his own troops: All go into battle, and be sure to annihilate the remnants of the enemy in one fell swoop!
There were fewer and fewer wolves in the enclosure, and it was getting dark.
It wasn't until the last wild wolf was eliminated that Zuo Rong ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
In this wolf hunt, from noon to evening, a total of 358 wolves were killed.
Zuo Rong ordered the wolf skin to be stripped off and to go to the market another day to exchange for cloth and daily necessities. Wolf meat was distributed to the tribes to improve the food of the tribes.
Witnessing the whole process of wolf hunting by the Su Mo Ya tribe, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Only now did I know that I could still hunt wolves like this!" ”
Zuo Rong smiled and said: "Practice makes perfect, skill can produce refinement, as long as you do more of this kind of thing, you can achieve proficiency and thoroughness." ”
