In December of the twelfth year of Jianxing, Liangzhou ushered in the third or fifth heavy snowfall.
Streets, walls, yards, as far as the eye can see, everything on the earth seems to be covered tightly by an endless and fluffy white goose feather quilt.
However, these heavy snowfalls will not cause much harm to Liangzhou this year.
As soon as the snow stopped, the magistrates came out, knocked on the door of each house, asked about each house's situation, and then shouted at each house to order them to sweep the snow in front of their doors.
Most of these officials have incomplete limbs.
There are a few less fingers, and it is less than half an arm. Many people are exposed to each other. At first glance, it is not like any good person.
Actually, they are all veterans who have retired from the army.
Having seen too much blood, after retreating, my temperament did not catch up for a while.
However, being fierce also has its advantages. At least on weekdays, no one dares to challenge the work they have arranged. Not even Qingpi dares to cause trouble in front of them.
Because as long as they blow the whistle, a patrol team in black hats and black clothes will come over.
Nanxiang’s experience is already very mature, so it should not be too simple to promote it.
After the winter solstice, counting to the third Xu day is the twelfth day of the lunar month.
The so-called "Twelfth Day" is the day of worship in winter.
In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, General Guan, the eldest wife of the Feng family, was instructing two concubines to carefully place various sacrifices such as cow heads, sheep heads, pig heads, deer heads, etc. on the sacred table.
For so many years, Feng Junhou has been away fighting for the country and has no chance to return to Jincheng to worship.
So I could only ask for the ancestral shrine to be carried with me.
Every time he settled down somewhere, he built a temporary ancestral hall.
Outsiders are not allowed in the ancestral hall. The servants can only deliver things to the door, and then let Amei and Li Mu carry them in and put them away.
The only exception is Zhang Xiaosi.
She was holding Ah Shun in her arms and standing in the corner of the ancestral hall watching the excitement.
As Feng Junhou's status became higher and higher, the family in the house became more and more prosperous, and the annual sacrifices became more and more grand.
Not only were there abundant offerings in the ancestral hall, but there were also several Boshan furnaces of different sizes placed around them, with green smoke rising out of them.
Even in the daytime, the nine-branched lamps are already lit.
Even the candles, which were reluctant to be lit at home, were burned on the sacred table as if they were free of charge.
After placing them, Feng Guan walked around the ancestral hall again.
Check to see if the spices in the Boshan furnace have been burned out, and then put the wine, bowls, and chopsticks on the table in the right direction, without allowing any mistakes.
Then he nodded with satisfaction, then took Ashun from Zhang Xiaosi's hand, waved his hand, and drove Zhang Xiaosi out of the ancestral hall.
Zhang Xiaosi pouted and walked out dissatisfied.
Standing there motionless with a straight face, pretending to be the head of the family, he was actually standing next to Mr. Feng, who was a puppet man.
She glared at the other person, and seeing that Master Feng did not respond, Zhang Xiaosi gritted his teeth and kicked the other person hard.
Master Feng grinned and did not dare to cry out in pain.
General Guan Da in front coughed, and Master Feng quickly moved forward and took out the prayer he had prepared long ago.
Master Feng moved, and the remaining people quickly followed suit.
Mr. Feng Da stood at the front. General Guan Da held Ah Shun in his arms. Ah Chong and Shuang Shuang each stood on one side and followed behind.
Amei and Li Mu were standing behind General Guan Da.
The prayer is supposed to be written by the head of the family, but it is a pity that the head of the family, Feng Da, is illiterate.
Although General Guan has a literary heart and good handwriting, it is a pity that his literary talent is not good.
So this prayer was completed by Zhang Xiaosi and Li Xiaosan together.
After all, Zhang Jiawen and Guan Jiawu.
And Li Xiaosan is a daughter of an aristocratic family.
So the two of them wrote a prayer together, and it was still in style.
Most of the content of the sacrificial document is actually a report to the ancestors on the work of the past year.
What territories did Feng Junhou regain for the Han Empire, and what rewards did the imperial court give?
Written a few more articles that have been read by the world.
Even the eldest son Ah Chong has learned so many words, and he has already begun to learn from his elders.
As for how many martial arts the eldest daughters have learned and how they often beat and cry Ah Chong violently, let’s not mention it for now, lest our ancestors be angry.
However, Feng Guanshi has asked her to work hard to learn female beauty, but she has not learned it yet, and she will report it to her ancestors after she has learned it.
Zhang Xiaosi, who was holding the door frame and looking inside, saw that everyone inside had their heads lowered and their hands solemn, and no one looked back at her.
She bit her lower lip, quietly stretched out her toes, crossed the threshold of the ancestral hall, and explored the ground of the ancestral hall.
Feng Junhou in front has finished reciting the prayer and started to burn it.
Then he led the whole family to prostrate themselves in worship, asking the ancestors to bless the Feng family to continue to prosper, and finally toasted to the ancestors...
After worshiping the ancestors, one must also worship the five family gods.
The so-called five household gods refer to the door, household, skylight, stove, and row (the land inside the door).
Guan Ji turned around and met Zhang Xiaosi’s innocent eyes:
“What are you still doing? Come here and hold the baby.”
"oh."
Zhang Xiaosi ran over and took Ah Shun from Guan Ji's arms again.
When worshiping the Five Gods, Zhang Xiaosi doesn’t have to follow behind him secretly. He can stand openly and openly next to General Guan Da.
Even Amei and Li Xiaosan had to stand behind her.
On the contrary, both of them took Feng Jishifeng's hand, pointed at the deer's head and kept calling: "Deer, deer, deer..."
Seeing General Guan Da’s phoenix eyes raised, Governor Feng coughed quickly and hurriedly found a topic to divert General Guan Da’s attention:
“Xijun, this deer head is so strange, who sent it here?”
It was a big festival for sacrifices, and it was natural that Guan Ji would not scold her eldest daughter. When Feng Jishifeng asked this question, she replied casually:
“Oh, it was delivered by Bald-faced Kheli himself yesterday. When I looked at the deer, I saw that it was indeed different from the past.”
Zhang Xiaosi leaned over and agreed:
"It's really different. Can't my brother-in-law eat these antlers for a long time?"
Fuck!
What do you mean?
Is it time for me to use deer antlers to replenish my body?
Besides, can the antlers in front of you and the antlers used for body repair be the same thing?
The land of China in the Han Dynasty was full of wild animals.
Especially deer.
Over in the south, the most numerous animals are elk, which are also known as the “four different animals” in later generations.
Not to mention everywhere, at least it can be said that they can be seen everywhere in sparsely populated places.
Think about it, with a population of no more than 30 million people spread across the entire land of China, how many places are sparsely populated?
Anyway, Feng Yong was not seen often when he was in Shu.
After arriving in Hexi, red deer are more common.
Antlers are the antlers of red deer and sika deer.
In later generations, in the Northwest, people still poached from time to time and took the antlers of wild red deer and sold them in the interior.
Feng Yong naturally recognized it.
There is also a kind of deer in Hexi, which is very large and is the largest deer Feng Yong has ever seen.
The horns are flat and spade-shaped, with the middle like a broad cactus and sharp branches growing out from the periphery.
It is very different from other deer species. I don’t know what it will be called in future generations.
In this era, regardless of size, they are basically called deer. At most, they can be called elk, or collectively called elk.
It has been more than ten years since I came to the Three Kingdoms period. I have eaten a lot of venison, and Governor Feng is familiar with several common types of deer.
So he could guarantee that the deer head in front of him was indeed not something he had seen before.
Although it looks a bit like an elk, the antlers of an elk basically grow toward the back. Unlike this deer head, some of the antlers grow toward the front.
Besides, elk are mostly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and there are some in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but there are definitely none in Hexi.
“What’s there to see? Aren’t they all deer? They’re for eating!”
General Guan was not impressed by Feng Junhou’s fuss.
Anyway, to her, what does it matter if the deer are different in size?
Wouldn’t it fall into the stomach in the end?
Unexpectedly, both of them, who were protected by Governor Feng, were unwilling to be left alone. They jumped out and retorted loudly:
“Deer, pull the sled!”
means more than just edible.
Feng Jishi Fu'e.
My daughter, you are seeking your own death, don’t say that I, an adult, will not save you.
General Guo Jian finally couldn’t hold back his anger:
“I just know how to play! Have you finished writing the calligraphy? Have you learned the female red? If you do this again next year, you will not be allowed to enter the ancestral hall!”
This daughter has embarrassed herself in front of the Feng family ancestors. She is really angry!
“And you, please don’t do those messy things in the future so that your children will not be interested in learning!”
Governor Feng was also shot while lying down and was glared at by General Guan.
Two people with the surname Feng could not defeat one with a foreign surname. They were as silent as cicadas and did not dare to say anything.
Zhang Xiaosi, who was watching the excitement, waited for Mrs. Guan to instruct the servants to pack up the sacrifices and leave, then he came over to gloat and encouraged:
"Shuangshuang, look, it's snowing heavily outside. It's time to go sledding..."
“Go, go, go! It’s not chaotic enough...”
Feng Jishi quickly stopped him.
It’s just too late!
Without General Guan’s bloodline suppression, the young lady of the Feng family hugged Governor Feng’s thigh tightly, like a pendant on Governor Feng’s thigh, and raised her head:
“Sir, I want to play sledding!”
"Don't make trouble. You can't leave the city today. I will take you there tomorrow."
“No, I’m going today!”
"That's okay, but you have to go and tell your mother."
“Then… let’s go tomorrow.”
The climate in Liangzhou during the Little Ice Age was much colder than that of later generations.
When winter comes, roads are blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult to exchange news with Hanzhong, let alone transport supplies.
So Governor Feng wondered whether he could learn from the Evenki people of later generations, who used deer as transportation livestock and could pull carts around in the snow.
After all, the red deer and the like that live in the wilds of the northwest are huge in size and come out to forage in winter. They are cold-resistant at first glance and seem to be good draft animals for pulling sleds.
Even Governor Feng specifically asked Zhou Lu to tame these wild deer, and also tried to castrate some of the male deer to make them more docile.
Who would have expected that it is easy to use, but it can only be used for short distances, and these deer will not be able to use it for longer distances.
It’s not that the physical strength is not good, it’s that the eyesight is not good.
Because the eyesight of these two types of deer is extremely poor, especially the unknown large deer.
The road is a little longer, and as you walk, you will involuntarily run to the side of the road.
Sometimes you don’t know how to turn around until you are about to hit a tree. When a sled truck encounters this situation, it can only roll over in most cases.
In this case, the person must get off the car and lead the deer away in order to pull the cart properly.
But was the sled vehicle just for people to walk in the snow?
In addition, these two types of deer are not gregarious and difficult to manage.
In the end, the deer sled became one of Miss Feng’s favorite toys in winter.
As for the sled dog Erha...
Don't say you can't find it now, even if you find it, you don't need it. Having one in your house is already annoying enough.
I don’t know if it’s a local evil in Liangzhou. I just mentioned Erha and Erha arrived.
“Brother!”
Zhao Guang led Zhao Huang to the house early to prepare for dinner.
Seeing my brother and his eldest niece, I hurried over and swung my head like an Erha.
Huang Wudie didn't even say hello to Feng Yong, she just took them both away and kissed her hard on her little face.
“My good niece, you miss me so much!”
Hands danced and screamed, not sure if they were happy or disgusted.
But she had a very good relationship with her Aunt Huang, and Governor Feng was too lazy to care about their mischief.
After Zhang Xingyi left with Ah Shun in his arms, Feng Yong saw Zhao Guang still looking around, and immediately said angrily:
“What are you looking for?”
“Where is Zhongrong? Didn’t you say that they have returned from Juyan County?”
Zhongrong, which is also the Chinese character for Shi Bao.
This year, Liangzhou Governor's Office sent a large army to the fortress to train troops, and Shi Bao was one of the leading generals.
In late November, they had returned to the pass in Juyan County to rest.
This is one of the reasons why Feng Yong must rebuild the pass.
You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. When you go out of the fortress, you can also rely on the fortress to ensure logistics.
As for those unpromising descendants in later generations, take Guansai as an example, our ancestors were just enclosing land for their own enjoyment, proving that their nation was too closed-minded and did not want to make progress...
The former Han Dynasty's fortresses even reached Outer Mongolia!
Our ancestors didn’t jump out of the coffin and scold you for not being able to keep the family business, that’s how magnanimous you are!
Governor Feng glanced worriedly at the direction in which Huang Wudie, who was holding both of his arms, disappeared.
Since Zhao Guang and Shi Bao went wild together in Hetao for more than half a year two years ago, the relationship between the two has become better and better.
It’s just Shi Bao, he has some talent, but he is too fond of money and sex.
Good wealth is not bad, after all, Zhao Guang can be regarded as the second brother of Xinghan Hui, and he has seen countless amounts of money.
But you have to talk about lust.
Huang Wudie is someone who has had many fights with General Guan. What if one day she discovers that Zhao Erlang has been dragged into the trap by Shi Hao Lun?
Feng Governor doubted that he would lose two generals at the same time.
There is no way, Shi Bao's bad luck really impressed Governor Feng too deeply.
Although I haven’t seen him have any bad luck in the past two or three years, what if it happens?
If bad luck turns back to him again, who can stop him? Fastest update Mobile version::
“What are you looking for him for?”
"Ask him what he gained from going to the Great Wall this time!" Zhao Guang said confidently, "Last time, my sister was very dissatisfied with my younger brother for rebuilding the cavalry camp, but it made me suffer a lot."
“My younger brother told him before that he should keep an eye on me when he leaves the fortress. If there is a suitable war horse, he must keep it for me.”
Heavy cavalry horses are really hard to find.
If you want to produce 3,000 qualified heavy cavalry on the battlefield, you need to use at least more than 10,000 horses in daily training.
How else can I say this thing is a waste of money?
“Isn’t the war horse you have almost enough?”
Feng Yong asked with some confusion.
Zhao Guang looked a little embarrassed: "This is exactly what I want to tell my brother. The armored cavalry is so useful, how can three thousand be enough?"
“Brother, if we increase to five thousand...”
When Governor Feng heard this, he immediately cursed:
“I lost! Five thousand? You idiot! Do you know how much food is needed for five thousand heavy cavalry? You really don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!”
"Let me tell you, in this Guanzhong battle, you, the armored cavalry, don't expect to be in the limelight! Give up this idea as soon as possible!"
As he said that, he flew up with a kick.
Zhao Guang didn't hear anything else. He just heard the four words "Guanzhong Battle" and his eyes lit up:
