Chapter VI

The long cavalry spread out on its wings, like a large net, encircling the wild animals of the unknown grassland, and then slowly tightened.

Cao Lie has a lot of experience in the use of cavalry, and the other two deputy generals Liu Yi Shijing are both middle-aged, and the wings on both sides are more than enough, only Sima Dan is in charge of the rear army is a little loose, but Sima Dan fully authorized the two partial generals, and he just followed the army, so the rear army also played the role of the rear army, and many animals were forced to rush to the rear army, giving the soldiers under the command of the partial general a rain of arrows, all of which became the prey of the harvest.

It was too difficult to make a living from hunting in the savannah, so the hunter tribes turned to a nomadic way of life.

You have to have your own pastoral savings to support your family and tribe.

But Sima Dan could still be said to be overjoyed with the prey they had obtained, and besides, they had no women and old people to take care of, which was much easier than ordinary tribes.

At noon, Sima Dan stationed the army and at the same time built a bonfire to prepare the roast of the prey.

He lit a fire of his own, and Mu Sheng and the two of them got busy, and only for a while, while the other soldiers were still roasting their various large prey, a fragrance came out from Sima Dan.

Liu Yidaqi, the deputy general, ran to Sima Dan, and saw that the two of them were eating meat and drinking soup again, and couldn't help but envy: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really a good cook, and it ......was made so quickly." ”

Sima Dan asked, "What about yours?" ”

"It's still early! Just started a fire......"

In fact, it was Mu Sheng who prepared in advance, so that Sima Dan could eat it so quickly.

Sima Dan tore a large piece of meat to Liu Yi, Liu Yi didn't dare to take it, Sima Dan was furious: "What kind of man is my mother-in-law?" Eat! Otherwise, I will kill you! ”

Liu Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly ate it, and shouted: "It's delicious, my tongue almost swallowed it!" ”

The other three or so small leaders near here also came up to join the fun, Sima Dan was very generous, and let them drink some soup, and there was meat in the soup.

"What kind of soup is this? So delicious? It's delicious! ”

"It's snake soup! You're eating rat meat. ”

Yes! Yes! Everyone exclaimed, some people spit on the ground, they dared to be angry, but more people approached, hip-hop around to watch the excitement.

Mu Sheng and the others laughed, and Sima Dan pointed to their noses and said, "You are really a bunch of villagers, you don't understand anything!" Do you know why I insist on hunting? ”

Everyone shook their heads blankly, and even Cao Lie came over to listen to them.

Sima Dan: "Do you know where Jiankang is?" It's the most prosperous place in the world. ”

Compared with the war-torn north, Jiankang has a prosperous history of more than 200 years, it is a commercial center, but also a land of gold dust, and the southerners know how to enjoy, so Jiankang is also a well-deserved super city at that time, for young people who have lived in rural places for a long time, that place is like a dream.

"There, the streets are full of drinking places, and there are little bridges and boats that connect the taverns, eh...... Beautiful women wearing only small belly pockets walk around, and there is no money for delicious things, such as pigs, cows, chickens, there are dozens of methods, but they don't charge money.... ”

"Isn't it?" All the officers and soldiers were immediately engrossed, and some of them happily pushed each other, wanting to stand in front of them and get closer, as if they had already arrived at Jiankang.

"How not? It's so rich there, what's not too much to lose? Apart from... Dragon Tiger Club... This is the favorite dish of all the royal relatives and relatives, have you heard of Wuyi Lane? The settlement of the big family is the origin of the Dragon and Tiger Club! ”

"Dragon Tiger Society? Is there really dragon meat? In this case, my old cow must not die here, and must eat it once before dying! When they heard a stout man say this, they all laughed.

Sima Dan held up the snake soup: "That's it, to be honest, the people who ate it just now said it was delicious, and these mice, when the butter was burning, it was fragrant to the bones, I don't know how much better it was than rabbits, and the people of Jiankang ate more pigs, cattle and sheep, so they ate very fragrantly, and they felt refreshed after eating, so it has become a big dish that ordinary people can't eat if they want to!" ”

Everyone was stunned, but they still happily believed Sima Dan's nonsense, and a few soldiers who were bold and good deeds rushed to beg for soup and drink, and they all shouted after drinking.

Mu Sheng painstakingly directed this scene because he was afraid of hunting and never able to fill the soldiers' stomachs, but there are so many of these "alternative" foods in the prairie, as long as they are handled well, they will definitely taste good, as long as they break through the inherent psychological barrier of the soldiers, why worry about the army without military food in the future?

"Nonsense!" Zuo Yong didn't know when he appeared in the crowd, and said to everyone coldly: "I have lived in Jiankang for more than ten years, and I have never heard of any Dragon and Tiger Club?" ”

Sima Dan knew that he would not allow himself to slowly establish authority, but he didn't expect that he was a eunuch who had entered the palace after growing up in Jiankang, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Sima Dan raised his eyebrows: "My father-in-law grew up in Jiankang since he was a child?" ”

Zuo Yong was proud: "Exactly! ”

Sima Dan said: "I heard that the emperor ordered to Jiankang to buy a lot of small servants into the palace, because I felt that no matter how poor Jiankang's young man was, he was from Jiankang, and he could at least be familiar with etiquette when he put it in the palace...... I don't know if it's right? ”

Zuo Yong's face was red: "So what?" Isn't it? ”

Sima Dan sneered: "Even if you were born in Jiankang, it's probably not very easy to go to those places where the beauties wearing belly pockets are all over the street, if you have been to that kind of fairy scene, you think that your father-in-law will not sell herself to the palace when she was killed, who can forget those beauties?" ”

Ha! , all the officers and soldiers were happy, these soldiers had already looked down on eunuchs, and now when they saw the prince ridiculing Zuo Yong, they all laughed together.

"Therefore, such a dish as the Dragon and Tiger Society may not be known to my father-in-law!"

"Humph! In this case, I heard that there is a rule in the North Battalion, if both sides insist on their own words, and they can't judge fairly, then only use wrestling to decide who is right and who is wrong! ”

Sima Dan didn't expect Zuo Yong to fail and be born again, and he insisted on frustrating the tall image he had established.

"Father-in-law means to wrestle with me?"

"How dare you? The prince can appoint a representative, and I will appoint a representative, how about a gamble? ”

After all, Sima Dan is a daughter, and Zuo Yong doesn't dare to make a move on him now.

Sima Dan asked, "Who did you send to represent you?" ”

"Lin Dong!"

"Here!" A burly soldier, one of the thirty-six horsemen who followed Zuo Yong, said yes and came out of the crowd.

When all the soldiers saw that this soldier was more than half a head taller than the prince, they were all angry, and boldly shouted: "Grandma's! Wait for Lao Tzu to meet you! ”

"Prince! Let the little representative, I have drunk this snake soup.! ”

Sima Dan looked up to the sky and snorted, approached Lin Dong, and forced him to look at him for a while, only to see that this person's eyes were firm, and he was afraid that he was not an ordinary soldier.

Sima Dan looked at both sides and saw a lot of large shields placed on the ground. These large shields were made of giant wood, with four pieces of iron wrapped around the top, bottom, and left, and right, which were the protective configuration of the hoplites, and the power was hard.

He suddenly lifted a large shield and threw it at Lin Dong: "Next!" ”

Lin Dong stretched out his hand and continued, Sima Dan pulled out the saber from a small soldier: "Raise the shield!" ”

When Lin Dong hurriedly raised the shield, the soldiers saw the flash of the sword, and the giant shield "boomed".

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Sima Dan slashed at the big shield, and the huge shield that was stronger than the iron shield actually split from it, and the place where the blade was broken was straight and smooth, and the sun shone faintly.

Everyone couldn't believe that with Sima Dan's underage body, he could slash such a heavy knife in an instant.

Lin Dong only felt that his whole body was cold, if the knife just now hadn't been slashed to the left, he would have been cut in two at this time.

"Good!" Everyone got carried away and cheered loudly!

If you want to build prestige, you can no longer hide, even if this will attract the emperor's murderous opportunity, but Zuo Yong's step by step pressing, so that he has any leeway.

There is no need to hide it anymore.

Sima Dan smiled coldly: "In the army, the knife is king, wrestling or something is just a game, if you can split this shield, count me as losing!" ”

Lin Dong shook his head, that wasn't the power that everyone had.

Sima Dan laughed: "The army listens to the order, I will try the model first, tomorrow, you will practice the machete first, and then come to hunt, when all of you can cut this knife, our army will be all over the world!" ”

After speaking, he will explain how to transmit the power from the soles of the feet, calves, thighs, waist and abdomen to the shoulders and arms layer by layer: "Think about it, the strength of my legs is already extraordinary, plus the power of other joints are concentrated in the hand, how amazing the strength is, as long as the speed is accelerated, this nirvana effect can be achieved." ”

He broke up with several soldiers on the spot, and from a distance, there were more and more people surrounding him, and the cheers were even more lively one after another.

That night, Lin Dong took the broken shield and a letter, and hurried to Zhaozhou Road.

The letter was addressed to Youyong, and one of the sentences was: "Quickly and thoroughly investigate the details of Mu Sheng!" It shows that Zuo Yong vaguely grasps some offensive directions.

******

Zhaozhou Road.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was the cause of the great turmoil of the empire that year, but the greatest damage to the empire was not the civil strife, but the introduction of the Hu people into the empire because of the civil war.

These Hu people poured into the Central Plains in waves, and I don't know how many regimes and armed forces were established. And the reason why Emperor Guang received the full support of the southern clans was because he never bowed his knees to foreigners, was defeated and fought repeatedly, and finally built a more capable elite army by using more sophisticated organization and more disciplined management.

Li Ling, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, once defeated 100,000 elite soldiers of the Xiongnu with an infantry formation of only 5,000.

Emperor Guang's infantry was also invincible, and he was once famous for encircling and annihilating 100,000 cavalry in Altan and losing less than 100 soldiers.

Even so, the barbarians of this period were still inexhaustible, so the empire deployed along the Great Wall and established three kingdom feudal towns on the basis of the ancient Seven Kingdoms: Yanzhou Road, Zhaozhou Road, and Weizhou Road.

As for the direction of the Western Regions in the front, it is guarded by the imperial capital, with three guards, called the imperial capital iron guard, which are Qin Wei, Jin Wei and Konowei.

These border towns are all stationed with elite soldiers and fierce generals, so as to block the Rouran Alliance that gradually unified the prairie in Mobei.

You Yong was supposed to go to Yanzhou Road to borrow grain, but now he appeared in another Daozhou capital.
