Liu Conghu, who had his blindfold removed, struggled to adapt to the suddenly stronger light, squinting his eyes and looking at his surroundings little by little. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is also a typical military tent, but the furnishings in the military tent are a little different from the camp tent of the general commander of the army, a very large military case, half of the military case is full of books, the other half has a tea set, and there is even a pot of flowers in full bloom, Liu Conghu does not recognize what kind of flower this is, the most he has done in his life are three things, leading soldiers to fight, drinking and eating meat, and looking for women. There is something other than these three things, and he generally doesn't care much about it. But at this moment, Liu Conghu, who was a prisoner under the stairs, suddenly found that this pot of flowers was blooming so much that it was pleasing to the eye.
A young man sat at the back of the military case, sipping tea leisurely. He didn't look like a general who led troops to fight at all, he had no beard on his face, and he looked very delicate, much more delicate than many women he had seen, but when his gaze swept over, Liu Conghu found a very powerful deterrent in his eyes, as if he could penetrate his own heart.
"My name is Yang Ke, I am the supervisor of this army, I will not kill you, I will send someone to send you back to the Central Plains to be placed under house arrest, there is a good house for you to live in, someone to serve you, there is good food and drink for you, except that you will not be allowed to escape, the rest is no different from you in your own home. One more point, you can't commit suicide, otherwise your son Liu Ang will give you a burial. The young man's words were very short, but very effective, Liu Conghu had been looking for an opportunity to commit suicide, in his heart, the eagle must soar in the sky, if he was locked in a cage like a sparrow, it was better to die happily. And he is the eagle among the Huns, how can he endure the humiliation of being caught and put in a cage. But the life of his son Liu Ang is in the hands of the other party at the moment, this young man talks about his son's life and death as casually chatting about family life, but Liu Conghu does not doubt the truth of his words at all, as a person in power, Liu Conghu understands in his heart that human life is not worth anything in their eyes.
Yang Ke looked at Liu Conghu in front of him, with an indescribable disgust in his heart, but his face was still habitually calm as water: "I know that you are the instigator and initiator of this war, and even Liu Yuan has to give in to you temporarily, so far, more than 10,000 people have given their lives for your personal desires, I would like to send you to their funeral, but you are still valuable, so I have to keep the lives of your father and son." ”
As soon as Liu Conghu wanted to ask why he didn't kill himself, Yang Ke directly told the reason, which made Liu Conghu feel his insignificance for the first time, as small as a speck of dust, and when the other party talked to himself, he completely regarded himself as transparent air.
"If one day, if Liu Yuan dares to start a war against the Central Plains, I will put you back and let you fight among themselves, you must be thinking, why should I be at your mercy. By the way, you have fallen into this fate today, the culprit is not me, it is Liu Yuan, you can understand it by looking at this. After Yang Ke finished speaking, he threw the arrow book sent by Liu Yuan in front of Liu Conghu, and the guards who were watching Liu Conghu unfolded the arrow book and put it in front of Liu Conghu's eyes. Liu Conghu's heart was like being slashed by a knife, and he gritted his teeth tightly, lest he couldn't help but jump up and scold immediately.
"Your son Liu Qin will be fine, I will let his troops go back to Lishi, he will continue to be trusted and in charge of the cavalry by Liu Yuan's side, I will not tell him about Liu Yuan's betrayal of you for the time being, lest he lose his breath and show his flaws, if there is a chance, I mean if, you will personally tell him in the future, Liu Qin will be your bargaining chip and hope for a comeback in the future." Speaking of this, Yang Ke waved his hand and instructed the guards: "Take him down, you can untie him, he won't commit suicide again." Give him this arrow book as well, so that he can read more when he has time. ”
When Liu Conghu was pressed into the prisoner car, he was still holding the arrow book tightly in his hand, and a team of soldiers secretly guarded him and his son Liu Ang and set off together.
Liu Conghu is a Hun nun, and since he was a child, like his fathers, he has learned to hunt and boil eagles.
Hunting with domesticated eagles is a very unique traditional way of hunting for nomads. The key to falconry is the recuperation and domestication of falcons. Put the eagle on a thick rope dedicated to falconry, the eagle is unstable, and there are people below who constantly beat the rope with sticks, and the rope keeps shaking, so that the eagle can not sleep, this is called "boiling eagle". When the eagle is extremely tired, it will fall to the ground, at this time rinse the eagle's head with clean water, and then let the eagle drink tea or salt water. In this way, the eagle will lose weight in a few days, and some eagles will be so hungry that they will only have skin and bones, and they will not have any energy at all.
At this time, it began to be domesticated, wearing a special eye mask on the eagle's head to prevent it from seeing anything, and specially feeding it some rabbits, pigeons, small birds and other animal meat, so that it can eliminate the fear and hostility towards people. The next step is to train it to hunt. The eagle has sixteen tail feathers. The eagle uses these sixteen tail feathers to regulate take-off, braking, gliding, falling and catching prey. During training, the sixteen tail hairs are wound one by one with a thread. The thread between the feathers should not be too tight or too loose, if it is too tight, it will not take off, and if it is too loose, it will fly away.
Rabbits and pigeons are tied on ropes on the training grounds. When everything is ready, the eagle's blindfold is removed, and the falcon goes to catch the prey until it is full. The next training is to not let it eat its prey after it catches it, and so on many times until it is finally allowed to eat. After a period of time, loosen a few feathers, or even all of them later. Half a month later, the eagle was completely domesticated. When the results of domestication are tested, some meat is placed in the house and the eagle is invited to eat, and if the eagle can come to eat, even if it is successful, it can be hunted on the hunting ground.
Liu Conghu felt that he was the eagle, and Yang Ke was the eagle man. From his single-minded desire for death when he was just captured, to his own endurance and humiliation to steal his life, every step that young man arranged was irresistible, knowing that it was a trap, and he had to be led by the nose step by step. Liu Conghu found that he had encountered the most terrible opponent in his life, and he didn't have any power to fight back, and he didn't even have room to struggle.
Watching the team escorting the Liu family's father and son prisoner car gradually moving away, Ma Long said to Yang Ke beside him: "In just a few days, this Liu Conghu is like a tiger that has removed its backbone. ”
Yang Ke said lightly: "This kind of person can't atone for his sins with a thousand cuts, and for his own selfish interests, he uses the lives of tens of millions of soldiers and people as a ladder, and he is to blame for the current fate." But Liu Conghu won't die now, Liu Yuan's arrow book is like a thorn, deeply pierced in his heart, every day looking at the arrow book, he will never forget to find Liu Yuan for revenge, this thought is enough for him to support and live. ”
