After Yang Qiu became Minister of the Ministry of War, he also served as the governor of the North. Naturally, he would not be left behind in autumn hunting, which was as important as spring plowing. In fact, except for a few people, all the civil and military generals in Lian County were with them
The servants of the tribe participated in the hunting. Yang Qiu, with his extraordinary status as Minister of the Ministry of War and concurrently as the governor of the North, naturally became the target of a large number of officials who needed to please.
Although Lian County was massacred by the Huns, many of the surrounding villages and villages in Wubao were still preserved. The local official positions below county captain, such as Gongcao Pavilion Chief, etc., were still held by these local powerful men. These people were among the Huns.
Although a lot of money was lost during the chaos, and the seedlings and seedlings in the fields were cut down by the Huns to feed their war horses, the population and fields in their hands further expanded.
After receiving Chen Shijun's order to hold an autumn hunt, the local powerful men who had prepared their own weapons and horses happily participated. These powerful men were resentful of Yang Qiu's previous withdrawal of troops and actively moved closer to the north.
There were faint signs of being uncooperative around the captain of the capital, Lu Fang, and Yang Qiu's group.
Who doesn’t know that Captain Lu is the number one general under Chen Shijun? Chen Shijun’s status is too high, and there is no way to please others. So if you try to please Captain Lu, wouldn’t it mean that you have joined Chen Shijun’s network?
?No matter how arrogant and domineering Yang Qiu is, can he still be as powerful as Chen Shijun?
Chen Cheng's subordinates' clique-making behavior was just ignored. Anyway, he valued the process, but he paid more attention to the results. When things are done well, no matter which faction they belong to, they will be rewarded. Similarly, if things go wrong, or
If he breaks the law and violates the prohibition, he will not care who belongs to whom, he will be punished when he deserves it, and he will be killed when he deserves it.
The hunting army was divided into three groups: left, middle and right. Chen Cheng naturally led the middle, Yang Qiu led the left, and Lu Fang led the right. They went deep into the Helan Mountains and drove out the prey on the tops of the mountains one by one. The majestic sound of the horn sounded in the mountains.
Responding, Yan Xing rode his horse and rushed to Chen Cheng's vicinity, shouting: "My lord, the two wings of soldiers and horses have already driven the prey over!"
Yan Xing was strong in force and proficient in the science of punishment. Not only did he pass the selection of the tooth soldiers, but he also quickly stood out and reached the position of Sima of the Flying Bear Cavalry. Today's hunt did not require him to pass the news, but he was holding back in his heart
He was so angry that he wanted to show off in front of Chen Cheng, so he took the messenger's job and ran in front of Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng looked at the flying birds and beasts two or three miles ahead. Knowing that it was almost done, he turned around and asked, "Which one of you will go first?"
Liu Qian was riding on a pony, holding a hunting bow, and shouted excitedly: "I come first, I come first!"
Chen Cheng said, "There are still many beasts ahead. After everyone else has finished shooting, you can shoot a few more rabbits."
Liu Qian pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't want to shoot rabbits! I want to shoot tigers!"
A roar sounded in the distance at the right time, and the penetrating roar surged through the mountains, causing many horses to panic. Chen Cheng reprimanded Liu Qian: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can you shoot a tiger now? If the tiger eats it, you will still be able to kill it."
almost!"
He said to Zhao Yun: "It is said that Zilong has been diligently practicing archery recently. Why don't you go up and give it a try?"
Zhao Yun is riding on the back of a majestic white horse. He is wearing bright silver armor and a pure white cloak. He looks extremely heroic. As one of the two important ministers under Chen Cheng, his life has been changing these days.
Although earth-shaking changes have taken place, he still maintains a simple life, and his daily martial arts training has never fallen behind.
After being equipped with new cavalry equipment, his cavalry and shooting skills have improved rapidly and are no longer below the average level of the Yueqi battalion. However, he is respectful and cautious. Although he has a high position, he is very low-key. After listening to Chen Cheng's words
When asked, he shook his head and said: "It is better to leave this kind of behavior to other soldiers."
Chen Cheng smiled and said to Yan Xing, who looked expectant, "Then you go and try it first."
Yan Xing showed joy on his face, whistled, and led hundreds of cavalrymen from the Flying Bear Cavalry to ride forward. These cavalrymen were all put on the best equipment, and they saw the horses galloping, flying arrows like locusts, and from time to time, prey was caught.
He fell to the ground after being shot. Yan Xing cheered up, stretched out his ape arms, fully drew the long bow, and shot down one prey after another.
Chen Cheng looked at the situation in the distance, smiled and said to Yan Zhong beside him: "Bo Dao, you are really willing to give up. With your merits and Yan Xing's ability, it is not unreasonable to give him the position of prefect. If not
If you strongly object, how can someone else take the position of Governor Shuofang?"
Yan Zhong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "He is still young, so it is good for him to temper his temper. He will not suffer a disadvantage when he is older. By then it will be too late to regret."
"Hey, it seems that Bo Dao has high expectations for Yan Ming."
Yan Zhong said frankly: "I have no heirs, and the burden of the Yan family will fall on his shoulders sooner or later. If I don't train him more while I am alive, it will be the end for him to become a prefect in the future. Now let him be below
It will take a few more years to understand the suffering of the soldiers and civilians below."
Chen Cheng didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning of Yan Zhong's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you know my employment rules. As long as he has the ability, I never care about his background."
Yan Zhong also had a smile on his face, but he said in his heart: It's because Junhou, you don't care about your origin, that's why I do this. The stricter I am on Yan Xing now, the more you will use him more for my sake in the future.
he.
He is now Zhongshu Ling, already one person below ten thousand people, so how can he let Yan Xing just be a prefect? If one day Chen Cheng takes over Luoyang, then the Yan family will have to be a minister for generations!
Chen Cheng led the "trapped camp" and "guard troops" and stationed themselves halfway up the mountain. They looked at the smoke and dust in the valley ahead and listened to the tigers and leopards roaring, but there was no confusion in the team. Everyone stayed in their positions.
, maintaining a high-alert posture. As the strongest army selected from the entire Liangzhou (actually only the four counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Wuwei, and Beidi), they not only have the best treatment and equipment, but also have
The most arduous training, so both morale and organization are far stronger than the friendly forces on the left and right wings.
Occasionally, some deer, deer, jackals and other wild animals slipped through the net and broke through the encirclement net and ran here. Before they got even a hundred paces away, they were frightened by the murderous aura of the military formation here and turned around and ran in another direction.
After a long time, the war horses neighed in the valley, and the roar of beasts finally subsided. Liang Xing, the commander of the "Flying Bear Cavalry", sent someone to report, "Most of the prey in the valley have been shot, and only some golden pheasants are left.
Hare, wild dog and the like.”
Chen Cheng then ordered the fang soldiers to blow their horns and wave their flags, causing the flying bear hussars to retreat back.
Large carts were pushed by red-faced soldiers, loaded with prey. Yan Xing led a group of people and rushed to Chen Cheng, saying loudly: "I shot a tiger, and I am willing to offer it to the lord's tent."
Down!"
"Oh, take it over and take a look."
Hearing that Yan Xing shot and killed a tiger, Chen Cheng became interested. When the cart came over with the tiger's body, Chen Cheng stepped forward to check. He saw that the eye-catching white-fronted tiger had no wounds on its body, only a bullet stuck in its eye.
Arrows. He himself is a master of archery, so he naturally knows his stuff. He immediately exclaimed: "Yan Ming's archery skills are outstanding!"
Yan Xing, however, had seen Chen Cheng's unparalleled shooting skills. He lowered his head and said, "My skills are not as good as those of my lord."
Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying: "Good is good, but there is no need to be too humble."
He took out a bag of coins on his body and threw it to Yan Xing, saying: "I don't want you for nothing. I'll give you this bag of money and treat it as if I bought it. Well, the meat will be distributed among the soldiers, and you can help with the skins."
I'll make it salty and send it to my house when it's ready."
Chen Cheng then said to Zhao Yun: "I will take the princess to shoot rabbits in front. Zilong, do you want to come with me?"
Zhao Yun nodded, told Li Kan a few words, and then followed with more than a dozen tooth soldiers.
The ground in the valley was full of traces of horse hoof prints and ruts, as well as the footprints of many wild beasts. It looked very chaotic. Liu Qian held the hunting bow and rushed in very excitedly. She opened the hunting bow on the horseback
, he shot randomly at the pheasants and the rabbits that were running away in a hurry. Although he didn't hit a few, he was still very happy.
Chen Cheng followed her on a flaming red horse, holding the "Sunset Bow" in his hand, but did not fire a single arrow. These pheasants and rabbits were not worthy of his attack. Somewhere behind, Zhao Yun led the tooth soldiers tightly
They followed. The group of people got further and further away in the dense forest, and the light gradually dimmed.
Liu Qian shot a few more arrows, and finally hit a pheasant that was startled. The beautiful creature with gorgeous feathers struggled on the ground for a long time, and ran a long distance before falling to the ground.
The ground stopped moving. She jumped off the horse excitedly and shouted: "Master, did you see it? I was shot!"
Running into the grass, Liu Qian searched for a long time before she found the pheasant. She grabbed one of the pheasant's legs and pulled out the arrow. Just as she was about to return to the horse, there was a sound in the jungle, and three people holding bows and arrows
, the man leading the horse emerged from the woods.
Chen Cheng saw that these three people were wearing the armor of Beidi County soldiers and thought that they were soldiers from Lu Fang or Yang Qiu who had gotten here because they got separated. But then he felt something was wrong. The expressions of these three people were too...
It was strange. After thinking about it for a tenth of a second, Chen Cheng immediately opened the mini map, and three small red dots appeared prominently in the upper right corner.
It's the enemy!
Although he didn't know why there were enemies waiting for him here, the red point of view would only appear when both sides needed to kill each other. He immediately pulled out an arrow and put it on the bowstring. "Sunset Bow"
As powerful as a big yellow crossbow,
But the speed of opening the bow was too slow. Chen Cheng only drew it half full and then let go of his fingers.
The arrow made a sound, and shot an enemy through. He quickly opened the bow again, and only opened it halfway before shooting the arrow out. The bowstring vibrated, and another enemy fell in response. However, the remaining
However, the third enemy below had already fully drawn the bowstring and fired the arrow.
Chen Cheng only felt a sharp pain on his face, and an arrow had already been inserted into his cheek. He ignored the pain on his cheek, as if the arrow had been shot at someone else, and drew out the arrow, preparing to strike again.
He pulled back the bowstring. The last enemy suddenly screamed and fell to the ground holding his neck.
Liu Qian put down her hunting bow and shouted: "Master, are you okay?"
