If you have not experienced war, you will never know the preciousness of peace times.
Similarly, if he had not come to Zhenguan, Li Yuanjia would never have been able to imagine how big a battle human beings could go to hunt those wild animals!
First, thousands of sergeants beat the gongs and drums to drive the wild beasts in the mountains, and then drove them bit by bit into a big bag. Then at about the same time, Li Shimin gave an order, and a large group of dignitaries and second-generation officials rode out to attack.
With the falcons flying in the sky and the thin dogs running on the ground, they hunt freely in a not too big range...
Where the hell is hunting?
It's obviously a siege!
Although it is not true that a large number of wild animals were surrounded in a large open space and allowed to be shot, but driven by thousands of sergeants, they were basically concentrated on dozens of square kilometers of land. As long as everyone found it,
There are countless prey, so it can be said that there is really no difficulty.
Otherwise, so many wild animals would be scared away by such a grand winter hunt.
Of course, the more important thing is the two main purposes of winter hunting. One is for the entertainment of the emperor and other dignitaries. What's the point if you really have to run for a whole day to shoot two or three arrows? Secondly, it also means to show everyone's bravery and prey.
How can it be done with less?
So when the hunt begins, everyone knows that a large number of wild animals have been driven in.
Seeing this situation, Li Yuanjia, who was not interested in hunting in the first place, became even less interested. In his opinion, this was just killing for fun, and was even worse in nature than poaching more than a thousand years later.
People who poach are still doing it for money, these people are just doing it for fun.
Maybe it also means showing off your bravery, but how much?
Sitting on the horse, Li Yuanjia couldn't resist the hot eyes of the guards behind him, and waved helplessly.
Seeing his order, a group of over-energetic Chinese characters were overjoyed. When they saw other teams rushing out, they were already feeling itchy and unbearable. At this time, they immediately rushed out screaming!
"well!"
Seeing this sober scene, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I felt a little sad in my heart, but I couldn't say anything.
These days, Guanzhong is full of lush greenery and wild animals. Who would have thought that what will be left to future generations will be patches of desert loess. Even seeing a rabbit in the wild can surprise a child for a long time?
After all, the times dictate it!
Li Yuanjia sighed in his heart, but his face was calm, which made Han Lucheng who was standing next to him a little uneasy: "Your Majesty, you... cough, you don't plan to..."
"Humph, I'm not going!"
Glancing at Han Lucheng, Li Yuanjia's eyes made him shrink back.
Narrowing his eyes, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "I will just stand here and take a look. I will go back to the camp later... Han Lucheng, ask them to bring me some pheasants at noon. I want to eat braised chicken nuggets."
Already."
He couldn't bear to see these guys killing animals, but he had no psychological burden at all about eating meat.
"...Yes, Your Majesty."
After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the corners of Han Lucheng's mouth and eyes twitched together, but he quickly lowered his head and responded, thinking that he might have to inform him quickly, otherwise he might not be able to make it in time for the lunch...
…
"Hahaha... so happy!"
After killing a deer and a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms, Li Shimin was finally satisfied. He rode his horse up a small slope. Looking at the dust all around, and listening to the shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains, he couldn't help but feel...
My heart is at ease!
Cool!
Most of the suffocation that had been suppressed in the inner courtyard of the palace all year round was released in one breath during this morning's galloping horses and drawing bows and arrows!
It's extremely joyful.
The only thing that made Li Shimin feel regretful was that the guards around him were so tightly surrounded that he really couldn't let go and play. Even the living creatures were driven here by the sergeants, just like when he was young.
But it's completely different. I think back when I was the King of Qin, I dared to go deep into the mountains alone with a few guards, and even dared to touch wild boars and tigers. That was really fun!
"call……"
After exhaling a breath of cold air, Li Shimin decided not to think about it any more.
He is not the King of Qin now, nor the ignorant young man back then, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! His happiness and anger are related to the stability of the world, but he cannot be willful!
"Dong dong dong..."
Just when Li Shimin was about to take a break and hit another big guy, he heard the dull sound of horse hoofbeats. He turned around and saw a big flag, and he was immediately happy.
With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Go and call Duke Lu!"
After listening to the emperor's order, two horses immediately galloped downhill and soon caught up with the small team that was chasing a yellow sheep. After a while, a key horse carrying a big man ran up the small slope.
, Duke Lu’s voice came instantly: “See your Majesty...”
After wiping the sweat from his head, Cheng Yaojin's voice was still full of energy.
Winter hunting is no different than in the court, and a lot of red tape is omitted. Cheng Yaojin doesn't even need to dismount at this time, he just needs to salute on horseback. And Cheng Yaojin is in the mood to hunt his prey at this time.
Jin was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's sudden invitation to him, so after saluting, he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, why do you stay here? But you feel tired?"
"Hmph, will I feel tired?"
After listening to his words, Li Shimin suddenly straightened his waist, and the burning feeling in his inner thighs disappeared instantly. He glared at Cheng Yaojin and sneered: "I just shot a stag, and the horse under my crotch chased it for several miles. Let's let him go."
It's just taking a rest...Zhijie, what's the harvest today?"
When he asked these questions, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with anticipation.
One deer and one wild dolphin in one morning, this kind of record is actually very satisfying. After all, they are big animals, and it is not easy to hunt one with a bow and arrow, especially the stag runs very fast and has strong endurance.
, it took a lot of effort for Li Shimin to catch up.
It was the emperor's little thought to show off in front of his old subordinates.
"Hahaha, two wild dolphins, a deer and a yellow sheep!"
Speaking of his harvest, Cheng Zhijie laughed and said proudly: "If His Majesty hadn't sent someone to summon me just now, that stag would never have been able to escape my sharp arrow!"
As a military general, Cheng Zhijie's archery skills are quite powerful.
However, his pride caused the emperor's face to darken and he groaned again. Compared with the guy opposite, his stag and wild dolphin were nothing.
But before the emperor could say anything, Lu Guogong suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, I saw a team on the road just now. There was obviously a doe not far away. Instead of chasing it, I went to surround and kill a few pheasants.
