Volume 2 Chapter 193 Little Red Mountain
/p> The hunting grounds of the Jingshi are obviously not comparable to those in the north, and the hunting grounds of Xiaohongshan are in the city of Nanjing.
The emperor took a group of soldiers to ride out of the Taiping Gate, walked in the direction of north-west, and arrived at a low mountain forest between Xuanwu Lake and Zhongshan Mountain, which was the hunting ground of Xiaohongshan.
Zhu Di came to the camp tent prepared in advance, dismounted and looked at the mountains and forests in front of him. The generals approached one after another, waiting for the emperor to deploy the hunting tactics. When Gao Xu came over, he saw many familiar faces around him, most of whom were heroes of the martyrdom; There are also some face-to-face ones, which may be the generals of the Jianwen Dynasty.
He soon saw a little kid who was only about five years old, wearing a small yellow robe, and the child was standing beside the emperor, wasn't it the good saint Zhu Zhanji, who was it?
Gao Xu suddenly felt that he was indeed not a caring person, and when he saw this child, he did not feel the slightest cuteness, but had an urge to kill the little kid immediately.
Zhu Di said: "This place is a bit small, I still feel that it is fun to gallop and hunt in Beiping!" ”
The generals chimed in.
Zhu Di changed his words and said: "But it doesn't matter, today I just want to go out for a walk with the old brothers who were born and died......" Speaking of this, the generals all showed a look of relief, whispering below, Zhu Di continued, "After a while, everyone separated and hunted from all sides, with the sound of the horn as the trumpet, and heard the horn to come back to the camp to gather and count the prey. ”
He looked back and smiled, "Of course, there are colorful heads, and those who shoot the most will be rewarded." Just this horse I rode! He tapped the mount beside him lightly.
The generals followed the sound, and there was an uproar, and many people shouted, as if they wanted to roll up their sleeves and prepare for a big fight!
It was a jujube red sweat and blood horse, and the sweat and blood horse itself was very precious, and the emperor's horse was the best of the sweat and blood horses. Tall, noble and elegant, the fur is smooth and shiny.
Qiu Fu, who deliberately stood beside Zhu Gaoxu, whispered: "The rarest thing about that horse is that it has four hooves, which is simply one in ten thousand, and it is called 'Thousand Miles of Snow'." ”
Zhu Gaoxu listened and took another look, and sure enough, he saw that the horse was covered in fine jujube hair, but only four hooves were snow-white, which was really strange. In ancient times, what kind of horse to ride is the same as what kind of car to drive in later generations, the same car, can driving a Weihang be the same as driving a Hongguang car? A good horse, from the appearance, temperament, speed to pay attention to, horses can greatly enhance a person's big, especially like horseback archery generals especially prefer horses!
Seeing such a horse, everyone's interest was aroused, as for whether the hunting ground is big or not, that is not the point at all, as long as the lottery is good enough!
Zhu Di didn't introduce how powerful the horse was at all, everyone was riding a horse, just see it yourself. He said that Caitou was an understatement, and then changed the subject, "After the hunt, we roasted the game here and drank it, and talked together......
But the crowd was just staring at the horse. Who the hell is my mother interested in wine and meat? Following the emperor to win the world, the generals have long been glorious, rich, clothed and fed, eating meat every day and drinking wine every day, and they are tired of it! The generals are very real and snobbish, don't talk about any modesty and hypocrisy, since you can get a good horse by hunting, Lao Tzu wants that horse!
Qiu Fu smiled again: "In terms of martial arts, who is the opponent of His Royal Highness the King of Han in the world?" I'm optimistic about King Han...... What's that, King Han won't win and send me away? ”
Zhu Gaoxu admired Qiu Fu's cheekiness very much, and also joked: "I heard that Qi Guogong has accepted a few little girls, and you didn't say to send one to me?" ”
"Oh!" Qiu Fu suddenly said, "King Han is indeed a good one. That's a deal! If the king of Han wins the horse, I will exchange the concubine with you. When you come to the house, except for the cheap, you can pick the king of Han at will, just pick! ”
"Qi Guogong thinks so beautifully." Zhu Gaoxu scolded with a smile.
Zhu Neng, Zhang Fu, Zhang Wu and several others also chimed in, thinking that the horse would be taken away by Zhu Gaoxu. After all, young people react quickly, not to mention Zhu Gaoxu, who killed the general Geng Bingwen, has a reputation for bravery.
At this moment, someone said loudly: "It's really not necessarily, I'm optimistic about He Fududu!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu followed the sound and saw that the person who spoke was Chen Xuan. There are also several relatively good-looking generals over there, surrounded by a round-faced man in his prime, who may be He Fu who Chen Xuan is shouting about.
He Fu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where, where, I am just a defeated general under the King of Han." ”
It turned out that he also remembered who was losing in the battle of Lingbi.
Chen Xuan smiled: "Others don't know, don't we know?" He Dudu likes to hunt on horseback, and this thing is still not the same as fighting. ”
Zhu Di, who was on the top, smiled and looked at everyone shouting very tolerantly, seeing that the generals were full of interest and he was also in a good mood. The father is violent, but he really can't see it.
So Zhu Di roughly divided the direction, and waved his hand to call the generals to go and take their places. Each of them was divided into a few Jinyi guards and a eunuch to help with the prey, and the retinue could help drive away, but could not carry a bow.
Zhu Gaoxu only understood his own direction and He Fu's direction, so he led people to the west.
He prepared two bows, both of which were ordinary eight-bucket bows. He has physical strength, but it is inflexible and wasteful to take a bow that is too heavy, and it can't shoot far if it is too light, and it feels like the eight-bucket bow is just right.
After the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Gaoxu rarely ran horses and archery, and a few days ago he knew that he was going to hunt, so he practiced temporarily for a few days, and now he feels a little deserted; Fortunately, the foundation is still there.
"I knew that Caitou was a thousand miles, and I started practicing a month in advance!" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said to the strange eunuch beside him.
The eunuch said: "The prince is the first in the world of bravery, and he can easily win without practicing!" ”
"Knock knock knock......" There was a drum sound in the distance, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately slapped his horse and rushed into the woods, and the entourage around him also hurriedly rode up to follow.
After running for a while, Zhu Gaoxu finally saw the grass shaking, and immediately pulled the string to see the direction in which the living creature was running.
He slapped his horse and went up, and when he picked up the prey sideways, he saw that it was a dirty stray cat, his face suddenly darkened, and he turned back and said, "This is also the prey?" ”
"Whatever, pick it up first." The eunuch said.
At this time, a deer jumped out of the forest and ran, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately drew an arrow and slapped his horse in pursuit.
There were no ferocious animals found in the hunting grounds, and there were very few medium and large prey, and rabbits, pheasants, sparrows and other birds were the most. But it doesn't matter if you win or lose.
Zhu Gaoxu soon met some other generals nearby, in this Xiaohongshan hunting ground, the depth is really limited, a large group of people came in from all sides, there is an illusion that there are more people than animals!
Most of the time is spent looking for prey, but Zhu Gaoxu's riding and archery skills are good, as long as there are animals in the range and the angle is good, most of them can be shot with one hit.
While searching for prey, he searched deep and approached in the direction of He Fu.
Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: If you can meet He Fu, just say hello, everyone will be familiar first.
After running for a while without encountering any living creatures, all of a sudden, there was a "whoosh" in the distance, and a large bird flew away from a tree, which was very clumsy in its ups and downs.
Zhu Gaoxu saw the opportunity, and immediately chased after him. The trees in the hunting grounds are sparse and convenient for running horses, but there are many shrubs where birds fly. When Zhu Gaochu chased in, he heard an exclamation from behind, the eunuch's horse was tripped and fell, Zhu Gaoxu glanced back and saw that the prey had fallen to the ground.
He ignored it and continued to chase the bird, and when the bird was about to stop at a branch, Zhu Gaoxu predicted the direction of the bird's footing, and quickly pulled his bow and released the arrow!
"Bang...... Bang! Two strings rang out. But the first sound is near, and the second sound is far away.
When Zhu Gaoxu approached the horse, he saw a round-faced man also turn his head to look at him, who is not He Fu?
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, I am glad to meet you!" He Fu took the lead in holding the bow and saluting on the horse, he was only one person, and his entourage did not follow up this dense forest, and it was indeed difficult to enter this place on horseback.
Zhu Gaoxu replied: "He Dudu, we seem to have shot the same bird!" ”
"King Han releases the arrow first." He Fu said very sensibly. He was very modest in the camp before, but after surrendering to the new emperor and changing the court, his style looked a little less like a military general.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled, approached the position, and leaned over to pick up the bird.
"Huh?" Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it, then turned around and threw the bird directly at He Fu, "He Dudu took it, I didn't shoot the vital point." ”
He Fu subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and also glanced at it, "How does His Royal Highness the King of Han know which arrow is yours?" ”
Everyone's arrows didn't make much difference, and they weren't named.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Don't delay your work, farewell!" ”
"I'm going to be embarrassed!" He Fu looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise. Zhu Gaoxu knew what he meant, after all, his reputation was not very good, and he didn't look like a humble person.
At this moment, the horn of "Woo Woo Woo ......" was heard. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse back to see if the eunuch who had dropped the thing had finished picking up the prey.
The generals returned to the camp one after another, and immediately began to count their prey. Of course, what everyone pays the most attention to is the prey of Zhu Gaoxu and He Fu, because you don't need to count them, you can see at a glance that they have the most prey!
The eunuch Zheng He took a few eunuchs to count the number, and after he counted it twice, he bowed to the north and said, "Your lord, the number of prey of the Han King and He Dudu is actually too much!" ”
"Such a coincidence? I only have one 'Thousand Miles of Snow'. Zhu Di's voice said.
At this time, a military general picked up one of Zhu Gaoxu's dead cats, mentioned it in public, laughed "haha", and shouted: "What is this? ”
"Hahaha......" The generals burst into laughter.
In the chaotic crowd, He Fu's face was a little red, and he was looking at Zhu Gaoxu, and he didn't forget to glance at the "Thousand Miles of Snow" from time to time...... If that bird Zhu Gaochu took it, then not counting the dead cat, Zhu Gaoxu would have one more prey than him.
He Fu is modest in his mouth, but his eyes have betrayed him, beautiful horses, who doesn't like generals?
So Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate in his heart. He glanced at He Fu quietly, smiled faintly, and nodded slightly.
At this moment, Zhu Di's decisive voice came from afar: "Dead cats don't count, horses are He Fu's!" ”
