Chapter 82: Hunting
Stories are all ordinary, and some people can always have some extraordinary flavor when they tell them.
When listening to the story, I longed for vigorous love, and after listening to it, I always felt that the ordinary was the most real.
Of course, people who have never experienced it are always not as deeply touched as those who have passed through their hearts.
It was not easy, taking advantage of the gap between the discussions of these noble ladies, Wu Yanxiu found an opportunity to be alone with Zhang Yang.
Time is of the essence, so I can only make a long story short.
Wu Yanxiu trusted this person very much, this is the person who can enter the Turkic hinterland to find him. "Whose person are you? I can't leave now, I have recorded some Turkic observations, and you can bring them back to Your Majesty. ”
Zhang Yang was not in a hurry, "You don't need to know who I am." Now I need to go to the Khitan, in the easternmost part of the Turks, where it is bitterly cold, and I can't go there by selling goods anymore, do you have a way. ”
Wu Yanxiu thought about it, then he was His Majesty's person. Although there are some specialties in the east, they have been monopolized by the Turkic nobles, and the reason is indeed difficult to find.
However, many Turks will go there to hunt, where humans cannot set foot, there will be many fierce beasts, Turks like to go to such places, proud of hunting fierce beasts, and will leave the animal bones to make bone tools, not only ornaments, but also a symbol of bravery.
Unlike the Great Zhou, the nobles hunted only after confirming that there was no major danger, followed by a large group of people.
And autumn is the hunting season.
Man'er had invited him to go with him, and now it should be okay to bring one more person.
A group of women happily chose for a long time, talked for a long time, and did not know what they talked about.
Finally waited for the end.
Although Wu Yanxiu is not good at hunting, he likes to appreciate it, and the only trouble is that he needs to allocate some people to protect him.
Knowing that Zhang Yang's hunting skills were good, Wu Yanxiu opened his mouth much easier, "Barbarian, can I bring that merchant with me when hunting." ”
Man'er was a little puzzled, "It's not safe over there, are you sure?" ”
Wu Yanxiu nodded, "He said that he has good skills and wants to see rare beasts." ”
The barbarian directly agreed, but said that the tribe could not spare energy to take care of him. After all, all the people who went were warriors, and everyone was a person who was bent on hunting back to gain glory, and it was troublesome enough to take care of a Wu Yanxiu.
Zhang Yang took ten people and successfully joined the hunting team. However, looking at the estimated thousands of Turkic warriors and the mighty team, he was thinking, what rare and exotic beasts should not be scared away?
After galloping for a day and reaching his destination, he realized that a thousand people could not be more small than the mountain in front of him.
This hunt is more appropriate to call it a hell experience.
Everyone only brought fire, salt and some weapons, and dozens of people walked into the vast forest in pairs, Wu Yanxiu inquired, there were many people killed in this kind of hunting.
It is not for nothing that the Turks can fight well.
But is it really good for a woman to come over?
"Barbarian, aren't you afraid of danger?"
Man'er looked relaxed, "I'm here for the second time." In fact, there is some fear in my heart, this forest will not be extra merciful just because she is an old acquaintance.
However, compared to the composure of the two, Zhang Yang is really excited. This is the first time I have hunted in a primeval forest full of evil beasts.
If it weren't for the fact that the dagger in his hand was a little reckless, and the food in the baggage was only enough for three days, his confidence would have been even stronger.
This damn Wu Yanxiu didn't say a word in advance, and the Turks only said that it was the glory of warriors. Wu Yanxiu was very aggrieved, and the meaning of hunting was not common in Turkic, which he did not expect.
There are more people in the team of Man'er, thirty-two Turkic people, and eleven people such as Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang looked at the warriors who guarded the barbarians, the people who could protect her from coming to this kind of place were ordinary people, and it was not easy to cross these people to investigate the Khitan.
Fortunately, in the eyes of the Turks, hunting is the main theme.
The Turks led them on a long walk through the forest until they came to a stream. In forests, people and animals are inseparable from water, and it is important to find a source of water. However, water is also the focus of competition for various animals.
Everyone was extra cautious, paying attention to the movements around them.
Man'er is also like a hunter, walking forward gently, looking at the environment, only Wu Yanxiu is the most relaxed and fearless.
The process of fetching water went smoothly, but when a fire was lit near the stream, a group of uninvited guests came.
"Who are you?" A man with a black pattern on his face asked sharply.
The Turks looked disdainful, "The kid of the Khitan tribe, the big Turks don't even know each other?" ”
It turns out that this is the Khitans.
The questioner turned around and muttered a long way back, and then the luggage left. The Khitan has the Khitan language, but the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty is used for communication between different tribes.
The target appeared, and the most harmless Wu Yanxiu naturally asked, "What tribe is the Khitan?" ”
The Turkic leader kicked him with an unhappy expression.
The barbarian didn't pay attention to this, "The Khitan is a small Turkic tribe, a tribe that grows on the edge of the forest, and they have been hunting in the mountains here since they were children. ”
"But isn't this mountain dangerous?"
Man'er shook his head, "That's for us, they have lived in the neighborhood since childhood, and they are used to many dangers, and they are faster than us when they encounter them. A long time ago, the Khitan was only a small ethnic group of the Turks, and later, their leader took them to migrate here, and after a few generations, the Khitan people became stronger from generation to generation, and became the object of attraction by various ethnic groups, they were very strong in combat and fought very cautiously. Later, seeing the progress of the Khitan, his father set the rule that Turkic warriors should come to this forest to hunt, and only warriors who could hunt fierce beasts in this forest could become Turkic generals. ”
Wu Yanxiu disagreed with this approach, "Fighting a war depends on strategy, and bravery does not determine everything." Da Zhou has now opened martial arts, not only to be strong in martial arts, but also to understand the art of war. ”
The barbarian didn't explain to him, hunting looks easy, but it also has to deal with all kinds of dangers and dilemmas, and there are countless Turkic generals who have experienced this forest, and the wisdom of hunting beasts is not ordinary.
Zhang Yang interjected, "The Khitan people are really powerful, why are they just a small clan?" ”
Wu Yanxiu was also a little curious, "They are so powerful, why have they never been mentioned in the Turks." ”
Man'er patiently explained to him, "The Khitan is too poor and miserable, it is very difficult to survive, and they believe in natural strength, and many people die in various experiences when they become adults. A tribe, the number of people can determine the right to live, the tribe that knows these things refuses to marry the Khitan, their people are not more than a thousand, so it has always been just a small tribe. ”
Unexpectedly, the tribe of thousands of people slowly developed into the most terrible enemy in the Central Plains.
Wu Yanxiu: "Why didn't Namo Si Khan recruit them?" ”
Father Khan also wanted to, but their conditions were something that Father Khan could not agree to.
Thank you for not seeing the monthly pass of the big guy for a dream, I forgot two days, I'm ashamed.
