Chapter 268: Shooting Deer Table
The sharp iron arrow cut through the carotid artery of the fawn at once, so that the poor fawn struggled and collapsed in a pool of blood after a wail. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Haha, it seems that my archery skills have not regressed." Seeing that the fawn was shot by himself, Zhang Shihua cheered selflessly, and then couldn't help but urge the war horse to get off his crotch and walk towards the poor deer's corpse.
"Looks like we'll be able to eat delicious venison tonight." Looking at the deer on the ground that was shot by himself, Zhang Shihua thought like this in his heart, so he couldn't help but turn over and dismount to pack up his loot.
However, at this time, in the direction where Zhang Shihua came, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder gradually came into Zhang Shihua's ears.
"Isn't it slow?" Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, knowing that it was Zhao Jiu and Zhang Shihui, Zhang Shihua muttered so softly, and couldn't help but carry the deer weighing more than 30 pounds with one hand and turned over on the war horse.
……
"General, General" Because they hadn't seen Zhang Shihua for too long, after they saw Zhang Shihua again and confirmed that Zhang Shihua was safe, they couldn't help but shout out with such relief.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua laughed happily, but he couldn't help but look at Zhao Jiu and the others with the loot in his hand: "Haha, you guys are too slow." Look at what Ben Jiang hunted, hehe, Ah Wu continued, today's Ben General's dinner is it. ”
"Hey, my subordinates obey!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhang Shihua's personal guard commander Li Wu agreed loudly, and then couldn't help but take the fawn from Zhang Shihua's hand.
But just when Li Wu took the fawn, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but get up curiously.
"Wow, an arrow through the throat. Big brother, your archery technique really hasn't regressed at all, it's still so powerful! Seeing that the little deer was killed by Zhang Shihua with an arrow, Zhang Shihui, who had always been extremely happy because of the artillery team, couldn't help but slap his eldest brother smartly.
And Zhang Shihua himself heard his brother's flattering words, and after laughing, he said to him: "I know that your kid likes this, don't worry, tonight's venison is indispensable for you." ”
"Haha, I'm blessed again tonight, thank you, big brother." Hearing his brother's words, Zhang Shihui smiled, and couldn't help but say so.
After saying this, Zhang Shihua glanced around again, but he couldn't help but say to his talented Chang Xiqiao: "I see that the scenery here is beautiful, and the terrain is higher than the four fields, it should not be a nameless place, so I don't know where this place is?" ”
Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Chang Xiqiao smiled, and couldn't help but hug his fists at Zhang Shihua and said: "General, you are really a wise eye, if your subordinates expect it to be good, it should be Xu Du Shooting Lutai in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty." ”
"Oh, Shooting Deer Terrace, this is the hunting place of Cao Mengde and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms." Hearing Chang Xiqiao's words, Zhang Shihua raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but say so.
"Yes!" Hearing that Zhang Shihua actually told the source with a word, Chang Xiqiao couldn't help but be surprised. After all, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has not yet been published in this year, and a large number of people do not know about the history of the Three Kingdoms.
However, he can see the situation clearly and use his talent status to successfully make himself a member of Zhang Shihua's high-level black-clothed army, and his own city government naturally has it. So after the next moment, he couldn't help but put away his surprise, and respectfully hugged his fists at Zhang Shihua and smiled: "The general is erudite, this place is the hunting place of Cao Mengde and Emperor Xian of the Three Kingdoms. ”
According to historical records, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had hunted here. At that time, the paddock was opened, a deer was driven out, and the emperor missed three arrows in a row, and the rebel Cao Cao snatched the golden eagle bow in the hands of the emperor, and hit the deer with one arrow. The ministers saw the arrow in the deer, and mistakenly shot it by the emperor, and they all bowed to the ground to congratulate, the mountain shouted long live, and the traitorous minister Cao Cao also slapped his horse and stepped forward to receive congratulations. Guan Yu was furious when he saw this, slapped his horse with a knife, and wanted to kill Cao Cao, but Liu Bei was anxious to prohibit it. Because of these allusions, this place was also called the deer shooting platform by later generations. ”
Because of the Southern Song Dynasty, it has become a universal view to belittle Cao Yang Liu at this time. So affected by this, Chang Xiqiao, who is a talented showman, is also extremely disdainful of Cao Cao. Even if he explained the allusion to everyone, he had to add the word traitor in front of Cao Cao's name.
However, Zhang Shihua himself disagreed with the depreciation of Cao Yang Liu. On the contrary, among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Shihua admires Cao Cao the most.
Speaking of the Battle of Chibi that year, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were burned with Chibi, and Cao Cao led the remnants of the army to flee north. At that time, so many of Cao Cao's advisers and tigers were panicked like lost dogs, but Cao Cao was the only one who could laugh three times to boost morale in a desperate situation.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that this is not chaotic, Cao Cao can already be called a masterpiece in the world. You must know that since ancient times, those who started in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains can have a good death, and finally become famous through the ages, and Cao Cao is the only one.
So when Chang Xiqiao's words came out, Zhang Shihua laughed and said, "Okay! I never thought that today I would be able to shoot deer with him Cao Mengde. After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help laughing again.
And Chang Xiqiao saw Zhang Shihua like this, frowned slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head and didn't say a word.
However, although Chang Xiqiao didn't say anything, when Zhang Shihua smiled, Zhao Ziyu echoed with a smile: "The general is a hero of the world, and his achievements in the future will definitely be no less than Cao Mengde of the Three Kingdoms." After saying this, seeing that Zhang Shihua smiled again, he didn't say anything anymore.
……
Two days later, at the end of March, the black-clothed army, which had rested in Xuzhou City for a short time, finally dispatched again. However, this time, Zhang Shihua did not lead the army north as soon as Liu Futong instructed him, but gathered a large number of troops and killed Yang Zhai, the Junzhou administrative office in the west of Xuzhou.
Yang Zhai (yángdí), if you look at it in the history books, this place should be one of the oldest cities in Chinese history.
According to historical records, Yangzhai, also known as Xiatai, was the capital of the Xia Qi period. So to put it in another way, the "Xia" in the word "Huaxia", if it is replaced by a place name, the place where this "Xia" is said should be Yangzhai.
Of course, a long and glorious history often doesn't mean much. For example, Yang Zhai, in our later generations, there will be no such county seat on the land of China. Therefore, in the late Yuan Dynasty, in addition to being the seat of Junzhou, Yangzhai was actually an ordinary small county town, and there was really nothing remarkable about it.
Oh yes. There is another place in Yangzhai that has to be said that "Songshan" is just north of it. Therefore, the famous Shaolin Temple should now be under the rule of Yang Zhai Xian.
However, for the Shaolin Temple, which was famous in later generations, Zhang Shihua himself did not attach much importance to it.
Although some film and television dramas in later generations praised the Shaolin warrior monks as Saiyan Superman, if you carefully study the history, you will find out. The so-called warrior monk, in fact, is not the patent of Shaolin Temple at all, and it is not invented by Shaolin Temple.
Let me tell you this, in ancient times, monks actually had the right to be exempt from taxes. Therefore, in our inconspicuous monasteries in later generations, in ancient times, they were all big landlords and big tycoons. Especially in the Yuanmeng Dynasty, the rights and status of monks in this dynasty were simply unbelievably high.
Therefore, in order to protect the huge property of their monasteries and collect food and rent from the tenants of the monastery, almost every monastery will have a large army of warrior monks. And the role of these warrior monks in the temple is actually equivalent to the security guard and rent collection team in later generations. (PS: In some cases, these monks even make cameos as mercenaries.) )
Therefore, at this time, the warrior monk is definitely not a righteous profession, and the monastery is by no means a fearless peace and justice organization at this time.
Therefore, Zhang Shihua did not have the idea of asking these warrior monks to help him, not only did he not have this idea, Zhang Shihua even thought that he might be able to extort a sum of money from these monasteries. However, because most of these monasteries have a large number of warrior monks and private soldiers, and most of the soldiers under the black-clothed army are extremely Buddhist because of the relationship between the White Lotus Sect. So Zhang Shihua just thought about it, and he never had time to put it into practice.
After all, compared to the incomparably powerful Interpretation, his strength is too weak. Of course, if Zhang Shihua can really establish the next meritorious work comparable to Cao Mengde in the future, then Zhang Shihua will definitely have to carry out some restraints and reforms on these current religions.
But these are all later words, so let's not talk about these at this time, just talk about it now. When Zhang Shihua led thousands of black-clothed soldiers on a long-distance journey for two days, nearly 5,000 black-clothed soldiers couldn't help but kill outside Yangzhai City.
……
After spending half a day camping, in Zhang Shihua's Chinese army tent, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but discuss with the generals under his command about the siege of the city tomorrow.
"As you all know, Marshal Liu in the east is still entangled with the main force of the Tartars, so there is not much time left for us, and we can't delay too long in Yangzhai. So in three days, in three days, we must lay down Yangzhai City, understand? After everyone gathered together, Zhang Shihua sat on the main seat, looked at the generals under the tent, and said the first sentence like this.
Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, after looking at each other, the generals under the tent couldn't help patting their chests and reassuring Zhang Shihua: "Don't worry, General, within three days, we will take this city for the general!" ”
When Zhang Shihua heard this, after nodding slightly, he couldn't help but choose the vanguard and arrange the siege affairs.
……
On the second day, outside Yangzhai City, thousands of black-clothed soldiers and soldiers could not help but form a black-pressed siege formation outside Yangzhai.
And looking at this black-clothed military array that was huge and far surpassed his own in terms of strength, the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers on the Yangzhai City Wall who had never been on the battlefield couldn't help but be shocked by this huge scene.
Therefore, the subsequent siege was undoubtedly extremely smooth for Zhang Shihua and them. Under the continuous offensive of the black-clothed soldiers, it only took more than two hours, that is, a morning's work, and the battle flag of the black-clothed army also floated on the wall of Yangzhai.
And so far, it also means that almost half of Bianliang Road has fallen into the hands of the Red Turban Army.
However, Zhang Shihua himself was not too happy about this, and the values cultivated in later generations made him not pay attention to the gains and losses of the city and land. At least compared with the city and land, Zhang Shihua is definitely in such a troubled world, money, food and population are the most precious things.
Therefore, after successfully capturing Yangzhai, he did not leave in a hurry, but personally sat here and set up a banner of recruitment, preparing to add some fresh blood to his black-clothed army.
I have to say that when they showed the power of defeating the officers and soldiers against the people of Yangzhai City, the matter of recruiting soldiers became very smooth.
After all, compared with the rotten and twilight army of officers and soldiers, his high-morale, well-armoured and well-disciplined army is undoubtedly more favored by the people at the bottom. Of course, the attraction of lucrative military salaries is also indispensable.
Therefore, in order to gain a background or find a way to live in the army, a large number of poor mountain people and low-level people couldn't help but choose to join the army and join Zhang Shihua's command to fight for the future of themselves and their families.
So after just three days, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but recruit 800 young athletes again. Although there are many cunning speculators among these people, Zhang Shihua no longer cares about this as much as he did at the beginning.
"Let your heart be like iron, and you have your own military law in the furnace" Under those backbone veterans who have been in battle for a long time and the strict military regulations, Zhang Shihua doesn't think that a few inconspicuous rat feces can make any waves.
Therefore, after registering more than 800 young and strong athletes and expanding the black-clothed army under his command to 15,320 people, Zhang Shihua left some troops to defend the city, and he couldn't help but lead his troops back to Xuzhou City.
And on the day he led the army back to Xuzhou City, he couldn't help but arrive on the second day of the third month of the twelfth year of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
And it was on this day that Han Wunuhan, who fought alone and went deep into Hebei, was finally broken through Kaizhou City by the Yuanmeng troops besieging from all sides because of the situation that it was difficult to support alone, and died in Kaizhou City.
However, for all this, Liu Futong and others in the south still did not know. Therefore, in Bianliang Road, which is known as the Central Plains, the fierce war is still going on, and it has reached a white-hot stage.
