Chapter 373: I Want to Wander

p

Martial arts, archery and other competitions are just appetizers, and the real highlight of winter hunting has finally begun.

Wei Shuo drove a snow-white horse, and under the protection of Kang Long, Tang Yao and other guards, he took the lead in killing the wild.

The others did not dare to slack off, and rushed out after them with a shake of the reins.

After a long period of training, Wei Shuo has practiced a good archery technique, and he does not dare to say that he has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

While waving his horsewhip, he excitedly shouted to Tang Yao beside him, "Madam, how about you and I have a competition?" ”

Tang Yao glanced at Wei Shuo, and couldn't help laughing: "The husband knows that the concubine is not good at archery, and he still proposes a competition, isn't this bullying?" ”

"Hahaha, my husband likes to bully others!"

Wei Shuo's pun couldn't help but provoke Tang Yao to be angry.

The next group galloped forward for a while, and the trees gradually increased.

Suddenly, two little rabbits ran out of the jungle, and everyone's eyes lit up, but no one was in a hurry to do anything, and they all glanced at Dadu Hu.

I saw Wei Shuo release the reins with both hands, draw two feather arrows from the quiver with his right hand, set up the bow with his left hand, and clamp the horse's belly with only his legs to maintain his body balance.

This alone shows that Wei Shuo has solid riding and archery skills, which shows that he has worked weekdays.

With two swishs, two arrows flew out like lightning, and in a few moments two screams rang out.

"Good! Most of them are powerful! ”

"What a double shot!"

Everyone praised Daduhu's ability to shoot two birds with one stone, and everyone applauded.

Even Gao Hu, who was following from afar, couldn't help but sigh to Fu Mo: "Most of the capital protects both civil and military affairs, and he is really an immortal hero!" ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly there were several sharp whistles from the front, which experienced people knew that this was a signal to find prey.

Everyone was overjoyed, and they all rode their horses and rushed over, all wanting to take the lead in front of Dadu Hu.

The prey soon came into view, and it was a black wild boar.

The boar appears to be large and clumsy, but it is no weaker than the horses.

The boar had apparently sensed danger as well, and saw it scurry towards the depths of the forest.

The beast's instinct told it that a group of people behind it must not be easy to mess with, so it was better to hide first!

Unfortunately, the soldiers and soldiers who were responsible for driving away the prey bit the boar's side tightly, and let out a cry from their mouths, forcing the boar to change the direction of running.

And when the wild boar was frightened and had to turn around and choose another escape path, Wei Shuo, who had been prepared behind him, released the bowstring again in an instant, and the feather arrows suddenly shot towards the wild boar with a whistling sound.

The unfortunate boar had barely run away when its heavy body fell to the ground, and everyone gathered around to take a look, with a feathered arrow stuck in its neck.

"Good!" There was another burst of cheers from the crowd, and there was no shortage of sycophants inside.

The boar weighed three hundred pounds, and its long tusks showed that it was a full-grown boar.

Many wounds of various sizes can be seen under the black fur of the wild boar, apparently from the past after fighting other wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

Such a fierce beast was easily killed by Dadu Hu's arrow, which made Rouran Khan's eyes look at Wei Shuo with a little more fear.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuo was the first to get the spoils.

At that moment, in order not to affect the hunting of others, he took the initiative to return to the rostrum with the trophies, ready to sit down and enjoy the performance of others.

Next, the hunt reached its climax, which made everyone addicted.

The participating teams rode tall horses across the mountains and forests, constantly driving away wild beasts.

The light cavalry galloped like lightning, and the excellent archers bent their bows and arrows, and the birds and beasts had no time to flee and were hit by arrows.

Everyone at the scene was enthusiastic and constantly applauded and applauded the wonderful performance of the warriors.

For Hexi, this year's winter hunting can be called the biggest festival in recent years.

Countless young men took up bows and arrows to join the hunt in order to show their bravery.

On the hunting ground, the children of the family who are freshly dressed and angry horses can be seen everywhere galloping on their prancing horses, dancing with knives, guns and short bows, chasing any visible prey.

It seems that there is a great heavenly blessing in the dark, and it is clear and cloudless for several days during the hunt.

The sky is like a crystal clear, and a few clouds float far away at the end of the field of vision, making people feel comfortable looking at it from afar.

The trumpets are constantly sounding by the teams, and the onlookers can judge which team has the most from the number of times the horns are sounded and the duration of the horn.

Judging by the current situation, it seems that the cavalry division has a firm advantage.

However, this is to be expected.

After all, cavalry is especially good at horse archery, and hunting is a piece of cake for them.

Even in the eyes of the cavalry division, not taking the first place means failure.

Thankfully, the contestants did not disappoint the Cavalry Division, and from the very beginning they caught far more prey than his team.

However, the other participating teams did not rest on their laurels and intensified their hunting efforts in an attempt to catch up with the cavalry division.

……

"Foreign minister, I've seen Dadu Hu." While Wei Shuo was sitting down to drink tea, Gao Hu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Wei Shuo put down the teacup, glanced at Gao Hu, and couldn't help but think of the argument that had just ended.

At first, there was no conclusion on who to ally with, some people chose the Northern Wei Dynasty, and some people preferred Houyan.

When I thought that this controversy would last for a while, a piece of news from the state of Merge instantly brought everyone to an end to the dispute.

According to the report of the Prefecture Thorn History Office, since the beginning of winter, a large number of displaced people have appeared in the vicinity of Hebei.

Zhang Teng, the assassin of the assassinate, immediately suggested to the Metropolitan Protectorate that in view of the sparse population of Bingzhou, he could try to lure the Hebei refugees into Jin.

After receiving Zhang Tengyu's report, Wei Shuo and everyone immediately made up their minds and prepared to form an alliance in exchange for Hebei refugees.

Although Wei Shuo's mind was wandering, his face was silent, and he sighed deliberately: "Okay, for the sake of Mr. Dayuan's insistent face, Hexi can form an alliance with Houyan, but you have to promise Bendu to protect one condition." ”

When Gao Hu heard that Hexi was willing to form an alliance with Houyan, he immediately became happy, and even left all the unhappiness behind.

He asked excitedly, "Dare to ask what are the conditions of the Dadu Protector?" ”

"The conditions are very simple, Shuo heard that there are many displaced people in Hebei, as long as Emperor Yan agrees to let the displaced people from Hebei enter the Jin, Shuo will agree to form an alliance with your country."

Hearing the conditions put forward by Dadu Hu, Gao Hu was shocked, and his originally smiling face suddenly calmed down.

When Gao Hu frowned and was thinking about something, Fu Mo next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Da Yuan, you can't agree to this condition, otherwise you and I may die without a place to be buried." ”

"Those homeless people are usually taken captive and enslaved by the powerful and nobles, if the homeless people are allowed to enter the Jin, the country must not be turned upside down?"

Hearing this, Gao Hu nodded solemnly, agreeing with what Fu Mo said.

If it had been before, he might have gritted his teeth and agreed, but now it is different.

Although the political systems of the Later Yan followed the example of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Murong Chui learned the lessons of the Former Yan and the Former Qin, and still retained a certain tribal system.

In order to win over the Han Haoqiang and Hu Luqu Shuai, Murong Chui not only allowed them to enclose land on a large scale, but also allowed them to keep slaves.

In the past, most of the slaves came from battlefield plunder, but recently, the Houyan was unfavorable to foreign wars, forcing Hu Luqu Marshal and the family to turn their attention to the domestic refugees.

Even Murong Trai probably didn't dare to easily agree to Hexi's conditions, because once the interests of the powerful family were damaged, Houyan's rule would also be unstable, and maybe it would be full of smoke overnight.

"Dadu Hu, the conditions you put forward are too high, and it is impossible for Emperor Yan to agree!"

Wei Shuo frowned, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "Why?" Those displaced people who stayed in Hebei were just slaves and shaders in the hands of Hu Hanhaoqiang. ”

"And once the displaced people become shady households, they will no longer pay a grain of grain and taxes to the government."

"Instead of cheapening those powerful and handsome, why can't your country exchange it for Hexi friendship?"

Gao Hu's face was ugly, and he shook his head and explained: "Things are not so simple, forget it, it's inconvenient to say anything more." ”

He is not a fool, and of course he knows what the exile means to Hu Hanhaoqiang.

However, I don't know why, Gao Hu always feels that the matter of the displaced people is not over.

Next, it is very likely that the confrontation between Hexi and Houyan will continue for the sake of the homeless people.
