Chapter 505: Found the fierce general and his grandfather
He holds the yellow on the left, holds the blue on the right, wears a brocade hat and mink fur, and rides on a thousand horses.
The galloping horses and the barking hounds broke the tranquility of the hunting ground.
Iron hooves flew, sand flew everywhere, withered grass crushed into dust. Deer and rabbits fled, jackals trembled in fear, and rats and sparrows were frightened.
Five to six thousand horsemen, with great momentum, rushed through the hills and ravines and galloped wantonly in the wilderness.
The horses neighed and the people shouted, and you fought to catch me without giving in.
Liu Xiang was riding on Rouge, looking at the young people having fun, and praised loudly with joy: "The spirit of bravery is strong, good! Very good! A big man should be so full of vigor."
The Han Dynasty was a martial dynasty. Regardless of whether the family was aristocratic or poor, everyone would learn riding, archery and chariot-controlling if possible. These were the six orthodox arts of a gentleman. Scholars who had no power to tie a chicken were not the characteristics of this era. Only those who were Han Dynasty were allowed to be Wenwen and Wu.
The pursuit of human beings.
Those who really lack force are the people at the bottom of Guizhou and the refugees who cannot afford to eat.
The young people who accompanied him on the field hunting trip this time were all officials' children and had a lot of educational resources. They had also been carefully selected and there were no special ones who stretched their hips.
Although they are said to be young people, in fact most of them are no more than a few years younger than Liu Xiang.
The officials who were accompanying him were also cheering loudly. Among them were their own juniors, so of course they had to support him well.
Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you mobilize everyone to hunt him, and let these young people see the sage leading the cavalry? Let them open their eyes and see the mountains!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people agreed.
"Your Majesty is a famous general in the world. If you can give some guidance to the younger generations, it will be their destiny!"
"Your Majesty took advantage of the hunting opportunity to teach the younger generations about the art of war and battle formations. It's really a good story!"
"The children of the younger generation have never seen the tops of mountains. Your Majesty should teach them so as not to become arrogant."
Liu Xiang smiled and waved his hand: "Mengde has been praised too much. Everyone, I have been praised too much! I cannot be called a high mountain. In the past battles, the soldiers sacrificed their lives. I don't dare to be greedy for credit."
He didn't want to command this group of stragglers to hunt, it would be too tiring.
On this hunting trip, only 1,500 Yulin cavalry accompanied him out of the camp. After excluding the accompanying officials and their personal followers, there were nearly 3,000 young men between 14 and 20 who showed up. The cavalry and shooting of these people were
My martial arts skills are okay, but I haven't received any training and my discipline is very poor.
To put it nicely, it is called having a dashing appearance.
To put it mildly, this is a bunch of rabble.
Lead them?
That is asking for trouble for yourself.
His refusal was obvious, and all the officials felt particularly sorry.
Why is it regretful? The children in the family lost an opportunity to express themselves and failed to take the opportunity to establish a relationship with the emperor.
Do you really think they want those younger generations to learn the art of war from the emperor?
How is it possible?
Great opportunities should not be wasted on learning!
You can't believe these people's flattery, and Liu Xiang doesn't believe it anyway.
The orderer sent an order: "Shanglinyuan hunting ground will be open for three days. You can hunt at will. Return to camp after three days to inspect the harvest. Those who excel will be rewarded heavily!"
After giving the order, the young people participating in the field hunt cheered, led their entourage, or called friends, and dispersed in a hurry.
He kept clamoring that he would shoot wolves and hunt tigers, come out on top, and gain favor from His Majesty.
However, their elders lamented endlessly. They were still young and could not distinguish between importance and importance. Going hunting was not as important as staying by His Majesty's side. Only by becoming familiar with each other could Jian be in the Emperor's heart.
Of course, for young people, how can there be so many twists and turns?
The five boys Cui Qi and Zhuge Liang looked dejected. They were taken with Liu Xiang and could not hunt alone, which made them very depressed.
"Your Majesty, I am going to shoot the tiger!" Sun Quan was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"Let's wait until you grow up. Now you can only feed the tigers."
Liu Xiang looked at the young Emperor Sun with a smile. This child had been with him for five years. In the past two years, he had grown taller and was now as tall as his shoulders.
"Uncle, don't look down on me!" Little Sun Quan was so anxious that he blurted out his usual nicknames. After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and added: "Your Majesty, please don't underestimate me. I am very good at shooting."
Of course Liu Xiang didn't care about his title, and turned his head half a circle: "We'll talk about tiger hunting after you become as powerful as Bo Fu. Go and bring the hound over."
"Oh." Sun Quan pouted and returned to his friends, and said dejectedly: "The emperor didn't agree and asked me to fetch the dog. Do you want to come with me?"
"Let's go together naturally, Liang will not abandon his friends." Prime Minister Zhuge's character and emotional intelligence are still very high.
"Go together, go together, I want to hold the biggest one!" Cui Qi is a man of loyalty.
"I also want to hold the big one." Noriman also likes big dogs.
Only Lu Yu was more attentive and warned Zhuge Liang: "Brother has an injury on his leg, please don't lead the dog later."
"I don't have to worry about it. Thank you for your concern, Xiaoyu."
"Let's go and pick out a hound. I like the all-black one."
The five boys felt that their friendship had been sublimated, so they walked arm-in-arm towards the hound in the car, but Zhuge Liang's walking posture was rather funny.
Liu Xiang did not plan to hunt, nor did he ask anyone to bring the prey for him to shoot.
Every time he saw records in history books about the emperor hunting in the fields, using carts to pull wild animals kept in the zoo, and then releasing them to kill them after arriving at the place to show the emperor's prowess, he would feel awkward.
What's there to show off about this kind of thing? Don't you feel embarrassed?
Therefore, he would not do such a thing as taking off his pants and farting.
Then the problem comes, if you want to eat wild animals, you have to hunt them yourself.
The hounds were released, and the soldiers were driven into the forest, riding horses and shooting, hitting whatever they encountered.
For three days, there were a lot of rabbits and pheasants, as well as some elk and deer, and a lot of jackals and foxes, but not a single tiger or leopard.
Disappointment is certain. When it comes to hunting, who doesn’t want to hunt wild beasts?
But he couldn't encounter wild beasts, so he was mentally prepared. After all, it was not far from Chang'an, and the northern area of Shanglin Garden was designated as a royal garden for raising horses. The Yulin Army and the cavalry from the Tunqi Battalion cleared Shanglin Garden many times, and the wild beasts were probably all gone.
He hid in Zhongnan Mountain.
Next time I want to hunt, I will have to go into the mountains.
"Go back to camp and see what those young people have gained."
Returning to camp at dusk, warriors sacrifice prisoners. This is a tradition that has been passed down since ancient times.
The bonfire was lit in the cold wind, and the prey was presented to the emperor one by one.
The genus of roe deer is not worth mentioning. Only the appearance of the beast will cause applause.
The owner of the prey raised his arms and shouted loudly, and the elders in the family twitched their beards and nodded, which earned them enough attention and face.
This is called appearing holy in front of others!
Unfortunately, not many people have gained a lot.
The most eye-catching ones are Cao Cao's fellow countryman Wen Ji and Sun Jian's nephew Xu Kun.
Both of them are famous generals, but their reputations are not as prominent in official history. During this field hunting, they went to Zhongnan Mountain. One of them beat the black bear to death, and the other accurately shot the tiger.
But Liu Xiang's favorite was Wen Ji, because he had a good grandson.
His grandson's name is Wenyang.
The most valiant general in the post-Three Kingdoms era.
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records: Shi Sima Ban, the commander of the division, led 8,000 cavalry, and chased him. The yang used his horse to get into the thousands of cavalry, killing and wounding more than a hundred people, and then came out. Sixty-seven of them were like this, and they chased them.
Don't dare to force the rider.
Wen Yang's battle outside Lejia City was a real historical event with seven entries and seven exits, but later novelists transplanted it into Zhao Yun's body.
He rode into the battle alone and faced eight thousand cavalry. After killing more than a hundred, he escaped safely. He charged into the battle repeatedly for six or seven times.
"He often kills and injures more than a hundred people." This means that he can kill and injure hundreds of people every time.
One man cut off the rear of the army, forcing eight thousand cavalry to dare not pursue him.
Is this something that ordinary people can do?
In terms of courage and martial arts, this is a top-notch general. Even in the pre-Three Kingdoms era, it would not be an exaggeration to rank him with Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Lu Bu and others.
