Chapter 288: Hunting
People say that there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. There is no specific saying when this phrase was produced, but it should not be earlier than the Tang Dynasty. And Wu County in the Three Kingdoms era was Suzhou in later generations.
At this time, Wu County was not as famous as later generations, and there were not so many cultural landscapes, but the beautiful natural landscapes still made people forget to return. Wu County is adjacent to Zhenze in the west, which is now Taihu Lake. The vast size of Taihu Lake, together with the numerous rivers and small lakes nearby, makes up the entire Taihu Lake water system. There are thousands of fertile fields by the lake, thousands of miles and thousands of strangers, and the sound of chickens and dogs is endless, which is a harmonious landscape between man and nature.
For five consecutive days, except for the day Sun Ce got married, Sun Quan became Tian Fan's follower and guide. Every morning after Tian Fan finished washing, Sun Quan came to the post station on time, first asked Tian Fan if he had any plans, and then recommended the good scenery here to Tian Fan. So, with a few guards, the two toured the nearby mountains and rivers all day long, sometimes talking, sometimes pointing out the country, sometimes conspiring to get drunk, sometimes laughing and scolding.
With Sun Quan, Tian Fan did not have the slightest pressure. This later Emperor of Eastern Wu was just a knowledgeable and well-informed young man at this time, and he was extremely respectful to Tian Fan as a gentleman. The two get along very well.
This state of affairs did not end until the sixth day.
Early this morning, Sun Quan came to Tian Fan on time. Tian Fan asked, "Zhongmou, where are we going today?" The nearby mountains and rivers have been visited, Zhenze has also been to two trips, I have eaten all the specialties of Wu County, what else is there to enjoy? ”
The various information released by Tian Fan here shows that he is very much looking forward to the alliance between the two sides. But in the past few days, he didn't say a word about the alliance, which made Sun Quan, who was ordered to follow Tian Fan, puzzled. Through the understanding of the past few days, Sun Quan found that Tian Fan is a free and easy person, eclectic in everything, and likes to come with his temperament. He loves to drink, and the amount of alcohol is not large, half a pound of spirits can get drunk. Sun Quan drunk him several times, and every time he tried to ask some questions, Tian Fan answered all the questions, and it was completely consistent with the various information he released. After he told Sun Ce the news, Sun Ce discussed it with Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others, and they all thought it was time to start a final negotiation.
Sun Quan said: "Sir, we are going to hunt these days!" My brother and Gongjin are already preparing, and when you are ready, we will go. ”
Tian Fan was stunned and said with some embarrassment: "Zhongmou, my archery skills are average, how can I hunt?" I think it's better to forget it! ”
Sun Quan smiled and said, "Sir, don't be too modest, we just go hunting, not to race, it's just a kind of fun!" Wait a while, please leave as soon as possible! ”
Tian Fan thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then okay, I'll prepare a little!" By the way, how many days are you going to go? Not coming back today? ”
Sun Quan said: "Yes, my brother said that at least three days will have a good time." The elder brother brought 500 sergeants, the tents and baggage were ready, and the gentleman's own soldiers were also informed, and the gentleman went to the barracks to take them with him in a while. ”
Quietly watching Sun Quan leave, Tian Fan thought to himself, it's finally time to come! I haven't seen Sun Ce and Zhou Yu for a few days, this time they are going to hunt for three days, it seems that they want to have a showdown with themselves! Fortunately, I have always been prepared!
With Shi A, Old Man Tang, Tang Xian, and Tang Feng, Tian Fan followed Sun Quan out of Wu County. Go to the barracks first and bring three hundred personal soldiers, Tian Fan's personal soldiers naturally listen to him, Sun Ce can let them prepare early, but he must not order them to set off together. As soon as Tian Fan came, the three hundred soldiers immediately found the backbone, and the group set off immediately.
An hour later, the group came to a place overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Tai Shici and other generals and hundreds of officers and soldiers had been waiting here for a while. Tai Shi Ci was commanding those officers and soldiers to set up tents and settle the baggage they brought. …,
Tian Fan hugged his fist on his mount and said apologetically: "Bo Fu, Gong Jin, generals, let you wait for a long time!" ”
Sun Ce smiled heartily and said, "Haha, it's okay, anyway, it's okay to be idle today, and it's okay to wait for a while!" Besides, we're going to beat him for two or three days this time, and we don't care about it for a while! After a slight pause, he pointed to the nearby terrain and said: "Boguang, this is at the junction of grassland and woodland, there are both beasts in the grassland and beasts in the woodland, it is really a good place for hunting!" Hehe, you have to behave well today, shoot more prey, and let us see your archery skills! ”
Tian Fan waved his hand again and again, and said: "Bo Fu, I have already told Zhong Mou just now, I am not good at archery, I am only responsible for watching and eating today, not responsible for doing it!" ”
Zhou Yu smiled: "Boguang, that's not good!" If that's the case, you're not authentic! Where can you take advantage of all the cheapness, and you can't do anything? ”
Tian Fan smiled, waved his hands, and said, "What should I do then?" I don't know how to shoot an arrow anyway, or ...... I'm in charge of grilling the prey, how? ”
Zhou Yu thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's cheap for you today!" ”
Today's main thing is to arrange these baggage and tents, seeing that the soldiers are busy, Sun Ce said: "Gongjin, Boguang, let's go and explore the terrain of the annex first." Zhongmou, you come too! Ziyi, you command the soldiers to continue to camp! ”
Tai Shi Ci said in a loud voice: "No! ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he turned over and got on his horse, and he had to follow Sun Ce.
Shi Ah hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Boguang, the three of them!" ”
Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Bo Fu acts above board, how can he be as good as you imagined?" Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”
Shi A didn't let go, still pulled him, and said in a deep voice: "Boguang, the suddenness of this hunting arrangement has not been realized to inform you, I always feel a little strange!" As he spoke, he rolled his eyelids and glanced at Tian Fan, and said, "Unless you take me and Donald, I will definitely not let you go!" If you want to go, kill me first! After saying that, he closed his eyes and said no more.
Tian Fan was angry for a while, why is this guy so dead-eyed? Sun Ce wants to harm himself, there are so many opportunities, how can he find such an opportunity alone? But Shi A's hand encircled his wrist like an iron hoop, and Tian Fan couldn't break free!
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw that Sun Ce and the three of them were looking curiously in this direction twenty steps away, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you and Old Man Tang with me, right?" I've never seen such a stubborn person as you! ”
Shi A opened his eyes, let go of Tian Fan, and smiled: "That's very good!" As he spoke, he looked at Old Man Tang and said, "Old Tang, let's work hard, how about it?" ”
Old Man Tang is still dressed in the same sloppy and sloppy outfit, his eyes are half-open and half-closed, and he seems to have neither spirit nor a trace of demeanor. Hearing this, he yawned and complained, "Hey, my old life can be regarded as selling it to his Tian family!" Let's go, my old man will work hard again! As he spoke, he shook his head and muttered, "When people get old, they can't sleep well, hey, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm so sleepy!" ”
Tian Fan looked at this old man speechlessly, he really didn't understand how he relied on himself!
Sun Ce and the three of them saw that Tian Fan and his party were also three people, and they looked at each other and smiled silently.
Sun Ce laughed and said, "Boguang, you don't trust me!" Can I still hurt you? ”
Tian Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "Bo Fu, I know that you are above board and disdainful of these villains. But...... It's really not my fault, my family insists on this, saying that if you don't take him, you will die to show me, what can I do? ”
Sun Ce looked at Shi A in the direction of his finger, smiled, and said, "This brother is really responsible!" I just don't know, your surname? ”…,
Shi A smiled slightly, and said: "In the next micro end of the untouchables, it is just a small guard of Tianfu, and the cheap name is not enough to insult the ears of the general!" General, don't ask! "It's a bit hard to say this to a general who commands tens of thousands of sergeants, it's really hurtful!
Sun Ce was stunned, and said with a smile: "It's really surprising that a subordinate of the Boguang family has such a fast mouth!" As he spoke, he jerked his horse's head and shouted, "Let's go, drive!" ”
This "subordinate" used a very heavy voice, almost squeezed out from between his teeth. Obviously, Sun Ce was a little angry with Shi A, but because of Tian Fan's face, he couldn't let out his anger! Shi Ah could naturally hear his displeasure, but he still half-closed his eyes and didn't care.
Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and followed with a horse. Seeing that they had run away, Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Mr. Tian, let's go!" ”
Tian Fan glared at Shi A and said, "Shi A, you ...... I said what are you doing! Let's go, we'll keep up too! ”
Then the group galloped off into the woods in the distance.
Among the six people, Old Man Tang and Shi A's horses are relatively average, Jiangdong has always lacked horses, even if it is good to match Tian Fan with a good horse, how can it be possible to match his subordinates with good horses? After a while, the two of them were left far behind.
Tian Fan was also very angry, Shi Ah didn't give himself face! Yes, you are Wang Yue's disciple, but now you are my bodyguard, you should listen to me! Therefore, he deliberately did not wait for Shi A and the two, beat his horse and galloped, and gradually caught up with the first few people, but the distance between him and Shi A and the two became farther and farther away.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rode side by side, obviously Zhou Yu said a few words, he gradually slowed down his horse, and waited for Tian Fan and a few people.
After Tian Fan caught up with them, he hugged his fists and said, "Bo Fu, my guard has a special status, and I can't discipline him too much." He has the ability, but he has a strange temper, you don't remember the villain, don't take it to heart. Hehe, I apologize to you for him! ”
Sun Ce laughed and said, "It's okay!" He is worried about your safety, you must come with him, this is also his duty, there is nothing wrong with it! It's me, as soon as I heard that he was going to follow, I immediately thought that he didn't believe in my character, which was a little gaffe, haha, in fact, he was just worried about your safety. Hehe, speaking of which, I'm also at fault! Don't mention this again, let's keep moving forward! ”
So saying, he whipped the horse, and the horse neighed, and began to gallop again. Tian Fan and the others immediately followed and rushed to the forest.
After running wildly for a period of time, Shi A and Old Man Tang were left behind two hundred steps away, and the trees here gradually became denser, and Tian Fan and his party had disappeared in the eyes of the two of them! The two of them couldn't help but be anxious, so they had to hurry up and rush to the forest.
