Chapter 36: Separation
Although the war horse under Cao Pi's seat is not as good as Cao Cao's claw Huang Feining, it can be regarded as a superb horse.
Wancheng was defeated, and Cao Ang died in battle to cover Cao Cao.
Cao Pi thought so, so he immediately bought a good horse with a lot of money, and at this time he galloped and rushed to the front of the team.
Although the war horses of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are not as good as Cao Pi, they are also rare good horses, and the three of them are driving side by side and galloping forward.
The three of them rode forward and whipped their horses, and turned their heads to look at Cao Zhang's team on the other side.
Cao Zhang has always been known for his martial bravery, and his war horse is naturally a good horse in a thousand, but at this time, he doesn't seem to be deliberately winning, and the galloping speed of the horses is not too fast, and there are even signs of slowing down.
"Why is Ziwen so slow? Could it be the result of Wang Yue's manipulation? Cao Pi asked Cao Xiu with some concern.
"Maybe, let's go hunting with peace of mind first, and he will report to us as soon as there is news." Cao Xiu comforted Cao Pi.
Cao Pi nodded, no longer entangled, and continued to speed towards his hunting site.
Cao Zhang's team slowly slowed down under his command, and had already decided not to fight, so they didn't need to rush into the dense forest too quickly to shoot their prey.
"Ziwen, let's just take it slowly?" Xiahou Ba was still unwilling, and leaned over to Cao Zhang's side and said.
"Don't you think the scenery along the way is very beautiful, enjoy it for a while, and then go back by the way to hunt some prey." Cao Xian was very leisurely, pointing to the scenery in front of him and said.
It's almost early summer, everything is recovering, the trees are luxuriant, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
Cao Zhang and the others did not ride their horses and galloped, and the small beasts and birds in the forest were not frightened, they were still walking and foraging.
"Okay, you enjoy the scenery slowly, I'm going to hunt first, I can't go back empty-handed and make people laugh!" Xiahou Ba said and took the hard bow from his back.
Cao Zhang nodded: "Okay, you and Gongming will take everyone to scatter and hunt, and hunt more prey, I will walk slowly with the season, take a look at the scenery, and then just shoot a few kinds of prey!" ”
Xiahou Ba and Xu Huang received Cao Zhang's instructions, and with a large number of followers, they rode their horses forward, shot at the beasts and birds in the forest, and gradually moved away.
Cao Zhang was not in a hurry, and walked slowly under the escort and protection of Li Jin.
Cao Zhang didn't notice that in the canopy of a big tree in the forest, there was a figure hidden and had been secretly observing him......
At the same time, Cao Cao led Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riders and Xu Chu's tiger warriors into the east side of Xu Tian's paddock.
Today's hunting not only tests the riding and archery ability of the three sons, the Cao clan and the generals, but Cao Cao himself also wants to have a good hunting addiction.
As soon as he entered the hunting grounds, he took off his bow and arrows and began to search for his prey.
Cao Chun and Xu Chu knew Cao Cao's intentions, and ordered their subordinates to scatter, drums, horns, and shouts in all directions, alarming rabbits, roe deer, foxes, roe deer and other wild animals in the mountains and forests, causing them to flee in all directions for Cao Cao to shoot.
For a time, the shouts were endless, resounding through the mountains and forests.
Everywhere the soldiers and horses passed, people shouted and neighed, and bursts of dust and smoke were raised.
Cao Cao held a carved bow, saw the fox and rabbit in the forest frightened away, chased and shot from time to time, and it didn't take long to shoot many things, and he gained a lot.
Cao Cao looked at the prey he had caught, but found that all he shot were small beasts such as rabbits and roe deer, and the birds were nothing more than birds.
Cao Cao was naturally unwilling to appear incapable in front of his son, clan brothers, and subordinates, and immediately ordered to continue to move forward, hoping to shoot some larger wild objects or birds.
Cao Cao was moving forward, but he heard Cao Chun beside him exclaim: "Sikong, look! ”
Cao Cao immediately looked in the direction that Cao Chun pointed, and saw that among the low mountains in front of him, there was a copper coin spotted leopard galloping like a flying chasing a flower deer.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the spotted leopard, Hualu struggled to jump in the mountain ravine.
The spotted leopard refused to let go, opened its bloody mouth, and chased after it closely.
Cao Cao was overjoyed to see the leopard, if he could shoot it, he would definitely be able to show his ability in front of everyone.
Cao Cao did not hesitate at all, urging Huang Feidian, a claw under the seat, holding a hard bow, to track in the direction of the leopard's distance.
The Xutian enclosure where Cao Cao and others hunted was the remnants of a continuous mountain range outside the city of Xudu, with bumpy terrain and rugged roads.
Coupled with the dense forests in the mountains and the many rocks blocking the road, Cao Cao instigated Huang Feidian to chase all the way, and he could barely keep up.
However, Cao Chun, Xu Chu, and many of his subordinates' mounts were far inferior to Claw Huang Feidian Shenjun, and they were gradually distanced by Cao Cao.
Xu Chu was worried that Cao Cao was in danger, so he shouted loudly: "Sikong, don't chase it, it's dangerous!" ”
Cao Cao had already risen at this time, where could he still listen to Xu Chu's persuasion, his eyes were firmly fixed on the leopard looming in the forest, and he kept urging Huang Feidian to chase after him, completely ignoring the people behind him.
As Cao Cao chased farther and farther, the shouts of the tiger and leopard riders and tiger warriors behind him became softer and softer, until he couldn't hear it at all, and Cao Cao realized that he was the only one left walking on the horse.
As you go deeper into the mountains and forests, the trees and rocks become more dense and increase, and as far as the eye can see, you can only see the forests and rocks, but the leopards have long been gone.
Moreover, the forest was dense, almost to the point of obscuring the sky, and Cao Cao was in the forest, and he was completely unable to distinguish the direction and position.
Claw Huang Feidian galloped all the way, and he was already exhausted, snorting constantly, and his body was already soaked with sweat.
Cao Cao himself is also sweating all over, and one person and one horse have reached the limit.
Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and let Huang Feidian drink water and graze by the stream in the forest.
He himself sat under a big tree in the forest, took off the water bag and drank a few sips of water, closed his eyes and took a nap, waiting for Xu Chu, Cao Chun and others to find him......
Cao Cao was resting in the forest, while Cao Zhang and Li Jin were still walking slowly in the paddock on their side, completely separated from Xiahouba, Xu Huang and others.
During this period, Cao Zhang occasionally saw rabbits and birds passing by, and shot a few with his bow, thinking that it would be better not to return empty-handed.
Cao Zhang walked forward slowly, and an extremely strong fishy smell came from the woods in front of him.
Cao Zhang thought that it was left by the beasts in the forest, but he didn't care, and continued to move forward.
But the farther he went, the stronger the smell became, and the horse under his seat began to become restless, snorting incessantly and grinding its front hooves.
"What's wrong?!" Cao Zhang reached out and touched the neck of the war horse to appease.
"Wow!" The war horse under Cao Zhang's seat suddenly stood up and let out a high-pitched neigh!
Cao Zhang was startled, his legs clamped the horse's belly tightly, and his hands tightened the reins so that he was not thrown to the ground.
Before Cao Chang could make the next reaction, the war horse had already flown on all fours, galloping towards the depths of the dense forest ahead.
The road in the forest was bumpy, and the horses were extremely bumpy, and Cao Zhang pulled the reins hard, trying to stop the horses.
But the war horse seemed to be startled and uncontrollable, just kept his head down and kept rushing forward.
Cao Zhang had no choice but to try his best to maintain the balance of his body and let the war horse move forward.
Li Jin was shocked when he saw Cao Zhang's war horse out of control, so he could only quickly urge the war horse under the seat to chase after him......
