Spring search, also known as spring (sou).

Pick, choose also, birds and beasts are pregnant, and they take it.

In later generations, there was also a folk proverb that advised the monarch not to eat three spring fish, thousands of fish roe in the belly.

Therefore, as a military activity, field hunting is also exquisite; If both sides hunt, once a pregnant female animal is found among the prey, no matter how much you hunt, you will lose.

This unconventional tradition is also the respect of the ancestors for all mothers in nature; Of course, scientifically speaking, it is the protection of the reproduction of all things.

Hundreds of officials gathered, feudal towns gathered, and the military activity called Spring Search held by the Tang Dynasty court also kicked off.

Yang Sixuan, who was famous for Liu Xingshen, the trembling old eunuch, immediately stood up as soon as he saw that the feudal towns had arrived, and said in a condensed voice: "All the ministers and generals. ”

"I, the Tang Dynasty, founded the country with martial arts, the founding ancestor, and the emperor who can shoot with a bow."

"As the saying goes, the prosperity of a country lies in enriching the people; The strength of the country lies in the strengthening of the army; The field hunting activity is a real combat test for the soldiers who have been in the army for a long time. ”

"It can not only promote the coordination of generals and schools, but also test the courage of the soldiers; Therefore, this activity has not been interrupted since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"In this spring search, there are two royal highnesses, King Ji and King Shou, who hunted in Kunming Pool to chase the position of the emperor's younger brother; The generals and ministers have already chosen the side they want to support, so the old slave hereby announces that the spring search has officially begun. ”

As soon as Yang Siqiao's words fell, he heard a roaring salute, which broke through the air; Then, there were countless palace maids, wearing flowers and butterflies.

They lined up in a long and winding line, like a long dragon like hairpins, and walked towards the courtiers and feudal lords who were seated.

These palace maids are all bewitching and graceful; But without exception, they all carried a tea tray in their hands, and the wine was placed on the plate, which was obviously intended for the hundred officials and the officials of the feudal town.

Then, several more servants, swaying unrestrained and heroic dances, poured into the middle of the high platform, and danced without hurry; The dance is majestic, just like a battlefield athlete, galloping among thousands of troops.

There is a sonorous song, from low, gradually loud, and then majestic; There is a trickle of streams and Baihui into the sea, turning into rolling waves and sweeping the sky.

"The sky is cloudy, and Pegasus is chasing stars; The silver moon shimmered and frightened, chasing the tiger over the cliff stream......"

The singing voice is magnificent, with the general idea of Jin Ge Iron Horse, singing the heroic spirit of the man in the field hunting, riding a horse to hunt at night, and chasing the tiger in the starry night.

In the midst of this wine hunting song, Yang Siqiao, who was at the top, continued to speak: "Spring search is the tradition of our Tang people, and it is also an activity to test the military athletes; In this spring search, our first test is shooting. ”

"Governors, governors, each of you, can send a hunting team to participate in the hunt; The number of people is one team, and the time limit is three days. ”

"When the three days come, the hunting team must gather here to count the prey and determine the winner."

"Now, it's limited to the hunting songs of the Lingren, and you have to select the team members to participate in the competition while the singing is not stopping, so let's start now." Yang Simiao's old eyes drooped, and he gave a request with an indifferent face.

Tian hunting, the object of Zhu Li, is to ride a horse and shoot hunting.

In the past few days, he has been entangled in emotional distress, and he has not deliberately asked about relevant matters, and he was only alert when he appeared.

As soon as Yang Siqiao's words fell, he suddenly found that this so-called hunting did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.

As soon as he heard Yang Siqiao's request, all the towns in the rank domain looked solemn, but it made Zhu Li's heart sink, could it be that this field hunting, what else is there to be tired

？

Otherwise, why are these big members of the suppression side all looking calm?

With this doubt, he blushed his face, turned his head to look at Yu Chi Jin, and coughed lightly: "Jin, uh, Manager Wei Chi, you and I are both supporters of King Shou, but Zhu has something unclear, I don't know if I can ask Zun Jia for advice?" ”

At this time, Wei Chijin was frowning slightly, obviously considering the candidate for hunting.

Suddenly hearing Zhu Li's voice, she looked over impatiently, and said unceremoniously: "General Zhu, I don't know what to say, let me state first, I may not be able to answer your question." ”

Looking at the other party's impatient expression and the tone of rejection thousands of miles away, Zhu Li's eyes darkened, and his old face was hot; However, he still stubbornly said: "Manager Wei Chi said with a smile, Zhu just thinks that this field hunting is nothing more than shooting on horseback, sending a few good soldiers to hunt and compete, but why is everyone's expression so dignified?" ”

"What's the matter?"

Before the voice fell, Zhu Li looked at Yu Chijin with a look of anticipation; He really didn't know what these feudal lords were worried about.

However, in the face of his gaze, Wei Chijian's pretty face changed three times in an instant, first from white to red, which was rising; Then it turned from red to purple, which was suffocating.

Obviously, for Zhu Li's almost idiotic question, Yu Chijin almost burst out laughing.

However, fortunately, Zhu Li's question is to consult her, if you ask others, others will definitely think that this is Zhu Li is comparing them; After all, for any authentic Tang person, this is common sense.

Fortunately, Wei Chijin still knows Zhu Li well; She knows the other party, call him an idiot, but in many important things, he thinks more long-term and more profoundly, which is beyond the reach of many people.

But if you say that he is powerful, but there are many basic problems of common sense, this guy knows nothing; Looking at the other party's look of an inquisitive baby, Yu Chijin somehow suddenly softened his heart again.

Although she is very hostile to Zhu Li now, she can't see the other party and is regarded as an idiot by others, so she sighed and said, "I'm afraid the general doesn't know the difference between ordinary field hunting and competitive hunting." ”

"Ordinary field hunting, the soldiers who participate in the hunting, can open the net, can set fire to drive the hunt, or ride horses to hunt; But hunting is different. ”

"In short, in the hunt, in addition to the above means, there is also a rule that is not a rule; That is, except for your own hunting team members, all other participants can participate in the hunt. ”

"In this way, it is obviously not so easy to achieve a high ranking."

"Also, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in the hunting, there can only be one general with the rank of general; Zuo will limit one person, and the rest will be filled with strong men. ”

"It's very difficult to beat all the competitors with such a lineup and come out on top; That's why they had to think about it. ”

Wei Chi Jin explained eloquently, and the reason why the town's face was solemn made Zhu Li also solemn.

In his understanding, this is a chaotic war, not only to shoot prey, but sometimes to rob others; Of course, we must always be on guard against others coming to rob, the cruelty of which is self-evident.

Speaking kung fu, the other feudal towns, it seems that they have already selected suitable candidates; And Wei Chijian, who explained the pros and cons to Zhu Li, just finished speaking, and was busy selecting generals.

After listening to Wei Chijian's explanation, Zhu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately spoke: "Yue Pengju." ”

"The subordinates are here." Yue Pengju, who was standing behind Zhu Li, hurriedly replied.

"You can hear what Chief Wei Chi said just now

？ ”

"My subordinates understand."

"Okay, this hunting, you will lead the team."

"No"

Among the people who followed Zhu Li to the south, if you want to talk about the talent of the commander, I believe that no one can compare with Yue Pengju, who has the reputation of Yue Wumu in history, is more clever.

It was obviously only fitting for him to be in command of the hunting team.

The main general is selected, that is, the assistant general, for the assistant general, Zhu Li's side is especially not lacking; But even so, Zhu Li still had a hard time.

Since it is a chaotic war, a seasoned scout is even more important.

There are only ten people in a troop, so there can only be two people at most who act as scouts, and more will reduce the combat power of the entire troop.

These two scouts must not only keep abreast of other people's movements, but also transmit news to their own side in a timely manner, whether it is reconnaissance or transmission, they require extremely high skills and keen insight. It is by no means something that ordinary people can do at the same time.

Such a master, Zhu Li is not absent by his side, but the position is too high; Yi Jiangnan and Li Gufeng, the two senior brothers, are actually the most suitable candidates, and with their cultivation in the natural environment, they will inevitably be able to take into account investigation and timely interrogation.

However, one of them is the commander of the ghost guard, and the other is the commander of the ghost guard, both of them are generals with the rank of general, and they can be generals, but they are used as scouts, which is overkill and obviously inappropriate.

At this time, a gentle voice suddenly came: "The subordinates meet the general, but the general is worried about the scout's candidate?" ”

Following the voice, Zhu Li turned his head to look over, and what caught his eye was a bewitching and charming beauty, this person was none other than Li Tianfu's wife Yang Liuye, the former leader of the Wushen Sect of Nanzhao Kingdom.

"The lady doesn't have to be formal, is there a suitable person for the lady?" Zhu Li looked at this Yiren and asked sincerely.

As soon as she saw Zhu Li's attitude, Yang Liuye knew that her husband and Guan Yunchang's worries were obviously right, and Zhu Li's side really didn't have a suitable candidate for scouts.

"Thanks to the general's blessing, my subordinates went north with Ah Lang this time, and they happened to take the three girls in the sect with them, they have grown up in the sect since they were children, and their martial arts are very extraordinary."

"In addition, each of them is good at imperial Gu, and they are the best scout candidates, if the general needs it, his subordinates will let that girl from Longjia come to serve the general." As soon as Yang Liuye finished his words, he looked at Zhu Li calmly, waiting for his approval.

"Great, then there is a lady Lao." When Zhu Li heard this, he was overjoyed, how could he refuse.

"The general is polite, it is also an honor for that girl in Longjia to be able to serve the general." After Yang Liuye said politely, he said goodbye and left.

In a moment, there was a fair lady covered with white gauze and white clothes, and she came over.

This lady is the little lady of Longjia in Zhu Li's memory; After years of not seeing, this lady seems to be more enchanting than then.

But yes, at that time, the other party was at best a half-budding and innocent age; And today's Longjia lady is obviously in her prime.

Longa, one of the three holy women of the Witch God Cult; When Zhu Li was a young general, this lady was also ordered to assassinate Zhu Li, how could he not be familiar with it.

For the skills of this Longjia lady, Zhu Li is very relieved; A few years ago, the other party was comparable to Zhou Chenghui and others who were secretaries and supervisors, and now, after all the years, it must be even more extraordinary.

With the addition of Long Jia, Zhu Li's heart instantly had a full range of candidates.

Yue Pengju is the commander in the middle, although Yi Jiangnan is not the best candidate for scouts, but he can act as an adjunct, there is no doubt about this, in this way, Yue Pengju, Yi Jiangnan, and Long Jia are undoubtedly the best choice to lead seven ghost guards to hunt.
