Hunting in winter is almost an indispensable inheritance during the winter season of the Great Yuan Dynasty. It has been passed down from ancient times to the present. It can be regarded as one of the few ways to relax in winter. Even the nobles and clan elders, Down to the ordinary people who make a living by nomadic herding, they all often go out hunting at this time.
Someone once said that there were three and a half objects in the Yuan Dynasty, the most valuable of which were gold, one horse, two falcons, and three good bows. As for the other half of the objects, it was the sharp sword's turn. The purpose of hunting is to include all these three and a half items in order to get a harvest that is not inferior to others. In fact, any driver in the North can hunt. As for why winter is chosen, it is because the beasts become scarcer in winter and are often hungry to keep out the cold. They are the most ferocious and fierce. During the winter hunting season, you can test your physical strength. Practicing archery skills can also be used to stretch your muscles a little in this bitter cold season when you can't wait to huddle in your bed all day long, so as to warn your subordinates not to take it lightly, as long as you seek comfort, you will inevitably waste your great achievements.
Ordinary people go out hunting, and the reason is more obvious. All animals and birds in the mountains know that they put on fat in autumn to resist the shortage of food in winter and to survive the cold winter, so they all do it in autumn. After raising oneself to be fat and strong, winter hunting is only inferior to autumn hunting. The prey is all fat and fat, and the most heavy. Furthermore, once the winter snow falls, you can find the animal's shelter by looking at its footprints. The blood of those injured by arrows and feathers has fallen into the white snow dust. It is also very easy to trace the traces, and it is rare to miss them. season.
The Royal Court of the Great Yuan Dynasty has stopped winter hunting for several years, and this time it is re-organized. After all, the winter hunting has been carried out for several years by war.
It is not only Shao Hehan who is involved in this matter, but also many people in high positions in the Zhengzhang Royal Court. They are all using their energy and energy in this rebellion war that can destroy the Yuan Dynasty. How can there still be winter hunting? Fortunately, the lost territory was recovered not long ago, and the wave of monsters that caused heavy damage to the northern part of the world has never affected Great Yuan, so it is reasonable to resume the winter hunting.
This move is not only to recruit warriors into the army instead of fighting, but also to distribute some prey to the people. It can also be used to slightly relieve the tension when the situation in the Yuan Dynasty finally turns to the royal court. It can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone. , even though Shao Hehan was afraid that this would waste people and money, he still agreed to do it for ten days. In the end, he chose the open and flat land outside Liuzhou where the trees were lush. Hearing that tigers have been hurting people recently has made people passing by worried. Taking advantage of such a winter hunt to get rid of the evil tigers would be quite a boost to people's morale.
Swords and swords were raised together, while dogs and falcons were led. There were almost thousands of strong soldiers and horses spread out in front of the extremely deep forest sea. When the swords and swords collided, the sound of gold and iron was heard, eagles cried, dogs barked, horses neighed, and the wings of thousands of horses were heard. The white marks everywhere made it seem as if a vast fog had arisen out of thin air.
In one day of winter headhunting alone, thousands of elite cavalrymen harvested nearly a hundred deer, no less than a hundred rabbits and roe deer, and more than ten wild wolves. They were all put away by the young men who accompanied the army, and they could identify who shot them by using the arrow shafts. , there were even several soldiers who had never joined the army. The men with superb cavalry disturbed a wintering bear, and killed it with arrows from fast horses, which attracted the admiration of the soldiers. The instructions are all to be recruited into the army, and they are handed over monetary rewards. In the future, they will be
The main account is used by the royal court.
Even Shao Hehan, who was not usually fond of winter hunting, drew his bow and arrow by himself and shot three deer. It was rare that he felt refreshed and relieved from the boredom of everything, and felt very comfortable.
"In the past, when the deer was lost in the world, all the heroes chased it away. However, if there is a time to gain a deer, there will always be a time when the deer will be lost."
Cen Shixiang pulled the arrow feathers from the deer's neck for Hehan, put it under the horse's belly and returned, handing the feathered arrow feathers to the latter's hand. Apparently he had been hunting comfortably for a while, and even the arrow on his left arm Looking at the falcon, which was getting older and turning white all over, its beak was stained with hair and blood, adding to its murderous aura. However, when he said this, Cen Shixiang was very respectful, as if he meant something.
"Everything in the world always comes first, right? Now that the Xumeng Mansion has not been destroyed, it is a big worry for me. However, I also need to worry about what the pattern of the Yuan Dynasty should be in the future. Although the world has been missing for a long time, several countries have I don’t know how many springs and Autumn changes there have been in fighting against each other, but after this incident, Dayuan is afraid that it will be difficult for him to imitate other people. The reason for pursuing such actions is not because of lack of courage or foresight, but because he blindly conquers them and often defeats them. , external troubles and internal troubles, which one is more likely to cause a country to decay and collapse." Hehan took the arrow feathers handed over by Cen Shixiang and said,
Rarely said with emotion, "Don't judge success or failure prematurely. Who knows how many tricks the Xu Meng Mansion still has. My precious eagle bow and hanging feather arrows are made of heavy gold, but just for shooting deer, the arrow clusters are The wear and tear is very heavy. The royal court in the main tent is not like a hanging feather arrow, and the Xu Meng Mansion is naturally not a deer in the forest that rarely resists under the iron hoof, but like that mountain tiger. I don't know at this time
He is dormant somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to burst out and hurt someone. "
It was rare that this Yuan Shao, who had only been in power for a short period of time, was very ambitious. Cen Shixiang felt relieved, so he came on the wrong horse, always taking a slow step, and walked slowly along the forest outside.
The issue of uprooting the clan elders has been starting to emerge since the former Hehan. If the clan elders of all parties know how to restrain themselves, there will probably be some stability for a while. However, due to repeated trials and vacillations during the war, the main court has no choice but to do so. Under this, the swords were sharpened before the war was over, and all the power in the hands of the clan elders was cut off by overt and covert means, and most of them were plots based on the prosperity of the war. If they refused to delegate power, they would probably Even those who boasted of their hard work and merit in the early years were simply killed. The moment Shao Hehan took action, there was no chance for regret.
The biggest reliance is that all the military power is firmly in the hands, and the Xumeng Mansion no longer has the prestige of the past. This Luzhou barrier almost blocks the clan elders who are interested in leaning towards the Xumeng Mansion. To the west of the barrier, he no longer has the ability to find subordinates, nor the opportunity to lead his subordinates to surrender to the enemy. Therefore, the elders of the various clans who have been busy for a long time, only now realize that the royal court is no longer in urgent need of the forces of all parties. They gathered one after another, even some with low attitudes and seeking talents. On the contrary, they had strong troops and horses. If there was any slightest dissatisfaction, it would be easy to cut off the old forces of all clans.
Wen Yu and some other military generals steered the war to a decisive conclusion, and the people in the royal court had nothing to do. By this winter, 90% of the old clan members had been taken back by the royal court, and most of the stubborn ones were from the royal court.
Under the threat of iron hoof, he had to bow his head and give up the power that he thought he could hold for more years. And if he especially wanted to be punished, the royal court cavalry under the instruction of Hehan would never do it. What's left to hold on to? It was because of this foresight that his father realized that the elders of the clan were no longer helpful and were causing trouble, so he became more and more domineering in the matter of cutting off the elders of the clan, without even taking into account the so-called human feelings. On the contrary, it caused an unprecedented surge in public opinion, but it inadvertently helped Wen Yu implement the army hoarding system. The people's soldiers and horses were almost connected into a mass, and the number of people who came to join the army was far more than needed, and public opinion was smooth for a while.
"Hehan can think of this, and his vision is much higher than that of his subordinates."
Cen Shixiang rarely sighed. The friendship with his former Hehan in the early years was still vivid in his mind, but now his descendants are really not inferior.
"Since there is no one around, I call you Uncle Cen. This naturally frightens me. However, before considering the so-called competition, you need to manage yourself properly before talking to others." Hehan grabbed the reins and pulled the reins. The horse stopped, turned around, frowned and said, "Of course I am willing to take back nearly half of the remaining Great Yuan without any bloodshed, but I am afraid that the Xu Meng Mansion will definitely not agree. It seems that there are only a few ways to go, so why not Calculate, calculate, calculate.”
"The first is to spend a lot of money on the Luzhou Barrier, and spend the money and food that should have been saved on the confrontation between the two parties. The Royal Court will definitely not be inferior to the Xu Meng Mansion in governing the country, but if it continues like this I am afraid that the so-called competition in the future will come to naught within a few decades if we waste money and people. Now that the world is in turmoil, we really may not be able to return it.
How much time can be left for dormant preparation? The second is that the Xu Meng Mansion knew that there could be no further delay. Huang Fuchao planned the plan and forcibly broke through this barrier. It is not that Wen Yu is inferior to this person, but sometimes, teachers of benevolence and righteousness are often inferior to those who use unscrupulous means. It is easy for a man with a fierce and stubborn mind to command an army. What exactly must he give up in order to win this war? "
"The third is that the royal court takes the lead and advances eastward. It would be best if we can decide the situation in one battle. And the back-up force arranged by the Xu Meng Mansion has many practitioners after all. I am worried that if it is hit hard, it may still be possible." Not as good as the first two."
Cen Shixiang was about to praise Hehan for his thoughtfulness, but he noticed that at some point, a colorful tiger appeared on the side of Hehan's horse. It didn't look like it was hungry, but its fur was smooth, and it looked like it had not yet aged. He is old, his belly is silvery white, his royal lines are wide and dense, even though he is a master of Cen Shixiang who has practiced martial arts for a long time.
Years ago, I still hadn't noticed that such a majestic tiger, which was a bit stronger than a wild bull, was approaching quietly, and my hair stood on end for a moment.
The snow is thick in winter, and the tiger's paws are the softest, while the snow is silent and difficult to guard against. The strange thing is that thousands of people ride into the forest and shoot to kill them, which has eliminated all the beasts in the forest today. Almost all of them were caught in one catch, and even the bear bears were not easily let go. They were also killed by the sharp arrows. However, this tiger, which was clearly not injured at all, was hidden and dormant until now. It is indeed shocking. Caught off guard. In that instant, Cen Shixiang pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and at the same time took the spear with his left hand, intending to kill and subdue this beautiful tiger with his own strength before it could take action.
At present, the winter hunting season in the Royal Court has come to an end. With Hehan's tacit consent, the soldiers in the army were drinking and drinking. It was supposed to be for the soldiers scattered in various departments to reminisce about the past and enjoy a rare moment of leisure. As for more people, they were skinning and cutting meat, leaving it for later. In the future, these furs and meats will be distributed to the people of the Yuan Dynasty. He Han is usually the most cautious, fearing that the walls have ears. Although there are loyal guards on the left and right, and their origins and family backgrounds are very innocent, he still does not allow others to follow him. He is just one person. As soon as he rode, he and Cen Shixiang circled around Linhai. And in this situation, even though Cen Shixiang asked himself whether he could win against this mighty tiger jumping into the stream, he still slowly drew the knife in his hand.
However, He Han, who was sitting upright on the horse, did not notice that Cen Shixiang's expression was different. He continued to drive the horse slowly and casually, and even looked long, standing on a snow-covered slope, looking towards the clear distance that seemed to have been washed by water. Sora looked around.
And there is a slight strong wind gathering in the distant sky, and soon it condenses into a bright silver wind outside the sky. This scene is often seen in Yuan Dynasty in winter, but if this wind becomes a climate, it can destroy cities and villages. Its momentum is unstoppable, and even a fast horse can still find it difficult to escape from the strong wind that reaches ten miles away, with clouds above and glaciers below. In many Great Yuan realms, this scene is called Golden Crow Sleeves.
He Han, who was quite young and had clear eyebrows, stretched out his hand, shook it in the air, and then turned back and smiled at Cen Shixiang.
"A man should hold the Jade Dragon Sword."
Then Cen Shixiang, who was covered in cold sweat, realized that the tiger had left at some point. His yellow eyes were shining, staring at Shao Hehan who was sitting on the horse with a bold smile. He shrank and stopped stepping forward.
