In the afternoon of the same day, six soldiers who were paid empty wages were sent to Chang'an together with Wei Qing's recital.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the sergeants of the period who went deep into Lantian Mountain to hunt returned to the camp one after another.

In this era, there are many birds and beasts, so Zhang Yuan doesn't feel like he is in reality, but in the unreal.

Ancient books often record that the emperor went on a safari and drove the beasts out of the jungle by a large army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the momentum was earth-shattering.

Until today, Zhang Yuan saw nearly a thousand beasts piled up on the school grounds, and he knew that if Liu Che wanted to be truly extravagant, it would not be a problem to hunt down 10,000 beasts at once.

"This prey is enough for everyone to eat for four or five days."

Zhang Yuan said to Wei Qing in surprise.

Wei Qing is a person who has seen big scenes, unlike Zhang Yuan, who stays at home all day and doesn't know anything outside.

"If Changshi can participate in a spring banquet organized by His Majesty in the future, then he will know what it means to gallop ten thousand beasts.

It can be said that if you shoot an arrow with your eyes closed, you can shoot your prey.

Fierce beasts such as tigers and bears, which are rarely seen on weekdays, can also be seen there, and there are quite a few of them. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, it was only the first time he had seen this kind of sight of thousands of beasts in front of him, although they were all dead, he also felt quite shocked in his heart.

If tens of thousands of live beasts galloped together for the princes and nobles to hunt, I don't know what kind of scene it would be.

"Let some of the soldiers carry these beasts to the edge of the water, and skin them and wash them.

I'll send someone back to my house and find some people to help, so that all my brothers in the army can have a good meal tonight. ”

Wei Qing nodded, and immediately ordered to his own soldiers.

"Let them do what the long history says, and remember that all the hides must be preserved."

The soldiers bowed their fists and then retreated.

After seeing these slaughtered beasts, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan walked to the other side.

There were nearly a hundred people squatting on the edge of the fire, all in rags, and all of them were earth-colored, looking like they hadn't had enough to eat for a long time.

"These are the savages captured by the sergeants from Lantian Mountain, although they encountered some resistance, but fortunately there was no big conflict, and no one was injured."

Wei Qing explained to Zhang Yuan as he walked.

Zhang Yuan knew that there must be more than a few people on Lantian Mountain, and when the entire Lantian Mountain was included in the scope of Shanglin Yuan, there were dozens of large and small villages around.

Just because Zhang Yuan occupied the village before, I heard from the tenants that dozens of people had entered the Lantian Mountains to make a living.

However, these people have cultivated the land for generations, and even a few hunters cannot compete with wild beasts for territory in the mountains and forests.

It is not as safe as the army of the Gate Army, and everyone is armed with weapons.

Zhang Yuan approached a man who looked older.

"Do you know how to speak official language?"

Zhang Yuan asked this because some people have been out of society for a long time, and their accents will change, and even degenerate.

The man looked a little scared, and nodded indifferently.

No one caught them before, and when they encountered them, they were all killed directly, especially in this Lantian Mountain.

Because there is a Dinghu Yanshou Palace on the side, in order to ensure their own safety, these people only dare to stay on the eastern side of Lantian Mountain.

However, today's gate army of more than 2,000 people are on all sides of the mountain, after all, if everyone gathers in one place, there will not be much prey.

"Did you all use to be farmers down the mountain?"

The man nodded again.

"Want to eat your fill?"

The man didn't nod, but looked around at the people like him, and nodded firmly after reading it.

Zhang Yuan saw that the man agreed, so he stood up directly.

"In the past six months, there is not much time left for cooking and cooking in the army's training.

If we can't let our own soldiers cook, leave this work to these savages.

Half a year later, the army was launched, just in time for spring ploughing.

Then leave some food for them, and then find a wasteland for them to cultivate. ”

The military rations are simple, some steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable porridge, and there is not much time wasted.

As long as there is fire, the soldiers can quickly prepare a meal.

But Zhang Yuan wants to replenish the body of more than 2,000 people up and down, so cooking is naturally a lot more troublesome.

Today, I can let the Zhang Mansion help, but it won't work for a long time.

The people in their own family have their own things to do.

"Okay, just do as you say.

Anyway, these people don't need food, and they just have to deduct food from the army.

Now that there is a lot of meat, it is estimated that the soldiers will not be able to eat much food. ”

Wei Qing affirmed to Zhang Yuan.

Until now, Wei Qing directly agreed with whatever Zhang Yuan said.

made the people around vaguely feel that this Changshi was in charge of the army.

"Find a place and wash your bodies. I'll ask you to bring you some clothes. ”

There were men, women, and children among the hundred, and they could not be allowed to stay in the barracks.

Wei Qing can only find another open space on the edge of the barracks and set up some tents for them to live in.

Zhang Yuan is not afraid that they will run, if they run up the mountain, they will return to the reality of not having enough to eat.

If you run to other places, it's okay to be bumped into by the people of the Zhang Mansion or the Qimen Army, but if you are met by the palace guards stationed in the various palaces of Shanglin Yuan and the army under the infantry captain.

There is only one outcome, and that is death.

I think that as long as it is a living thing, it has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

After handling these people's affairs, more than 100 adults from the Zhang Mansion came to the barracks.

With the addition of some soldiers who help the cook, there are more than 300 people cooking at once.

It's a spectacular scene.

Unlike the common people, the sergeants and soldiers can feel the joy of a good harvest once a year.

Today, this time, they really felt how joyful the harvest was.

Meat was also set up on every fire, and everyone sang and danced.

The more than ten sons who made trouble before seemed to have forgotten the pain on their bodies.

Zhang Yuan saw where Xue Ren was jumping and jumping like a monkey, and felt that this person was actually a little cute.

These noble sons don't have so much scheming, especially Xue Ren, who has been rich for several generations, and is deeply rooted in the towering tree of the Han Dynasty.

If they are bad, they are bad.

If you want to kill your whole family, you will directly bring someone to rush into your house the next day, and you will not hide from it.

Zhang Yuan still likes people who don't have scheming, and it's too tiring to get along like Jifu.

"Brother Qing, tomorrow I will order Xue Ren to be promoted to a military candidate."

Wei Qing was eating meat and almost choked.

Finally swallowed the meat in his throat, and asked Zhang Yuan with a surprised face.

"Aren't we going to get rid of all these moths in the army?"

"What happened today showed me that we might be doing something wrong.

Promote Xue Ren to Qu Junhou first, and then take a good look. ”
