While Gao Zhan was busy maneuvering between the civil and military forces of Bingzhou, Wei Shuo was busy holding an autumn hunt.

Compared with the two Han Dynasty, the style of writing in the Wei and Jin dynasties was more prosperous, but the martial strategy was far behind!

Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty inherited the remnants of his grandparents, and it didn't take much effort to unify the world. It's a pity that it's easy to fight the world, but it's difficult to rule the world! The founding monarchs and ministers of the Jin Dynasty were all pampered and pampered, and they liked to talk and advocate literary style, which led to the sluggishness of the civil martial arts and the decline in the combat effectiveness of the army.

After Wei Shuo was based in Liaodong, in order to restore the atmosphere of advocating martial arts in the Han Dynasty, he deliberately held an autumn hunt in September in the first year of Jianxing, so as to encourage the people under his rule to practice martial arts diligently and practice riding and archery skills.

Before the Warring States period, hunting was a military ritual, a comprehensive exercise for military training. Historical Records? The Biography of Wei Gongzi once recorded: Zhao gathered a large number of troops on the border, and the king of Wei thought that the Zhao army was going to attack Wei, so he had to send troops to take precautions. Wei Gongzi Wuji was well informed, and learned that it was King Zhao hunting, which saved him from a panic.

The hunt of a vassal king is as much a sign of the scale of a war as a war. With the change of military tactics, hunting was no longer a grand ceremony for military parades, but became an entertainment for the emperor. Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was the most fond of hunting, "taking pleasure in chasing wild beasts".

Wei Shuo's autumn hunt is definitely not as grand as that of the emperor, and his main purpose is to cultivate the martial style of the people. In addition to the participation of the civil and military forces of Liaodong and some ordinary people, Liaodong Autumn Hunt also mobilized 1,000 Xiang troops, 3,000 government soldiers and 6,000 militia to be responsible for vigilance.

Knowing that the government intends to select warriors in this autumn hunt, the people of Liaodong are even more eagerly awaiting, and those who have some force are all looking forward to emerging in the autumn hunt and becoming famous in one fell swoop.

In the first year of Jianxing, at the beginning of September, the large school field outside Xiangping City was full of people who came to watch the autumn hunt. When Wei Shuo and the civil warriors rode horses to the scene surrounded by the guards, it caused a tsunami of cheers, and anyone could feel the heartfelt support of the people of Liaodong for Wei Shuo.

Wei Shuo glanced around left and right, and had to sigh at the excitement of this autumn hunt, not only a large number of men participated, but even many ladies who lived in simple homes came to see the excitement accompanied by servants. Pei Yinger, accompanied by her cousin Pei Kai, also came to participate in the autumn hunt. It's just that her eyes have been chasing the focal point in the crowd.

Since coming to Liaodong, although Pei Yinger feels closer to Wei Shuo, the two don't have much time to contact in private. After all, Pei Yinger is everyone's best girl, and it is impossible to **** to run to the county guard's mansion, and Wei Shuo has no reason to visit Pei Yinger in Pei's mansion every day, and the only few contacts between the two of them are in public.

At the beginning, Wei Shuo regarded the autumn hunt as a military activity, so he handed over all the matters of presiding over the autumn hunt to the school captain's mansion to deal with, but because the head of the school captain's mansion, Shi Gaozhan, was currently in the state, Wei Shuo had no choice but to let Lu Chang, the director of the military department, temporarily take charge of all matters big and small in the autumn hunt.

As specified. The autumn hunt in Liaodong will be divided into three parts, the first to be held is the martial arts competition, which is divided into two groups: professional and amateur; The second is the bow and arrow competition, which is also divided into professional and amateur; The third part is the most anticipated hunting competition, the infantry division, the cavalry division, the government soldier division, and the guard division will organize teams to participate, and finally evaluate the advantages and disadvantages according to the number of prey obtained by each team.

In order to compete for the final victory, the directors of the four divisions carefully selected 300 elites from their respective units to participate in the competition. But if you want to win, it's not enough to rely on the elite. Because hunting is the equivalent of a small military exercise, it also requires teamwork.

The martial arts and archery competitions in the front are more like warming up for the hunting competitions in the back. After several fierce competitions, four lucky winners won the final victory. Not surprisingly, the winners of the archery category were all from the naturalized Hu tribe.

As time went on, it finally came time for the long-awaited hunting competition. After the departure of the four participating teams, Wei Shuo was not idle, he rode on his horse and ran into the field with some of his generals and some of the guards.

Wei Shuo clamped his legs between the horse's belly. The first horse ran in front, followed by Speedu and Liu Yao. Speedu was born in the Karasuma tribe, and he has a good hand in archery, although he doesn't dare to say that he has a hundred shots, but he also has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps. And Liu Yao has also practiced martial arts and arrows since he was a child. The ability is not weaker than others.

"Shomaru, Masanaga, how about we have a competition?" Wei Shuo, who was riding on a horse, waved his whip and shouted to the two behind him with a little excitement.

"Don't make fun of us, how dare the ministers compare with the lord?" Speedu and Liu Yao didn't dare to compete with Wei Shuo, and the task of the two of them right now was to protect Wei Shuo's safety.

"What's not to be able to do with this? Isn't hunting just for you to fight for me to be interesting? Well, that's it, and you don't have to argue anymore. In the past, it was often said that Speedu was the number one marksman in the army, and today he should show his hand in front of me. ”

Saying that, Wei Shuo pointed to the dagger on his waist that was given by the master master and said: "Since it is a competition, you can't do without a color head, do you see this dagger?" This is made of high-quality sugang steel, which can be called extremely sharp. Whoever of the three of us shoots the most prey and the best will be his. ”

"No!" Speedu and Liu Yao arched their hands, and then the two glanced at each other, with a strong sense of war in their eyes, it seemed that no one wanted to lose in front of Wei Shuo.

At the beginning, Speedu was outstanding in his own archery, but he really didn't put Liu Yao in his eyes, only to see him release the reins with both hands, pull out two feather arrows from the quiver with his right hand, set up the bow with his left hand, and let the horse gallop under his crotch, and only clamp the horse's belly with both legs to maintain body balance.

With only two swishing sounds, two arrows flew out like lightning, and with the sound of two animal screams, a guard soon handed it to Speedu with two hares. Although it is only two small hares, it is amazing to kill two birds with one stone.

For a while, everyone applauded, and even Wei Shuo stepped forward and praised: "General Speedu is really worthy of being the best in the army, and this arrow technique is far superior to Wei!" It seems that I can't keep this dagger today, but don't be too proud, Zhengchang is not easy to provoke, I don't think his archery skills may lose to you! ”

Liu Yao was not too surprised by the double shot shown by Speedu, who had heard of Speedu's archery many times in the army. Seeing that Quickaru opened first, he was not in a hurry, and just continued to look for a target.

At this moment, a group of sika deer, driven by the guards, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, and everyone became excited. Even Wei Shuo drove forward, wanting to bend his bow and arrows, but just as he was about to let go of the arrows, he suddenly heard a roar from his side.

Wei Shuo had no choice but to abandon the prey in front of him and instead want to see what was roaring. Unfortunately, before he could see clearly, he felt a mountain pressing down on him, and in an instinctive reaction, he rolled off the saddle without saying a word. Fortunately, Wei Shuo never relaxed his physical exercise every day, so he was lucky to escape, and it turned out that it was a black bear that attacked him just now.

Seeing that the black bear couldn't strike a blow, he chased after Wei Shuo again. Wei Shuo got up in shock and turned around and ran, and then the guards also reacted, and stepped forward with knives to try to prevent the black bear from approaching Wei Shuo. It's a pity that everyone underestimated the black bear's combat effectiveness, and saw him smash left and right, knocking all the guards in front of him to the ground.

And Wei Shuo took advantage of the fact that the guards were pestering the black bear, and the embarrassed dodge finally opened the distance between him and the black bear. However, the black bear somehow seemed to recognize Wei Shuo, and after knocking all the guards over, it chased after Wei Shuo again. In a panic, Wei Shuo didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped over a vine.

The black bear roared and pounced, opened its mountain-like body, and fell straight towards Wei Shuo. The guards in the distance were frightened when they saw this scene, but they couldn't think of any way to stop the black bear, while Wei Shuo could only close his eyes as if he was resigned to his fate......

At this critical moment, I heard someone shouting: "Don't panic, the lord will not panic, and the future will be over!" (To be continued.) )
