The winter hunt had been going on since ancient times. After being busy with the court affairs for days, Cao Cao was also a little tired. He suggested to Liu Xie. Liu Xie was just a puppet. Naturally, he only had one person.
Agreed.
It was unknown if it was the blessings of the heavens, but the blizzard that had been raging for days had stopped the next morning. The weather was sunny and sunny, and there were no clouds in the sky.
With the help of the maidservants, Zhang Wu put on his armor. Halfway through his breakfast, a palace servant came to pass the order, ordering him to transfer 3,000 flying bear elite cavalry to guard the emperor's carriage.
After the palace servant passed down the order, he was about to turn back when Zhang Wu called out to him.
"Little eunuch, stop right there. I want to ask you, is the emperor going to the winter hunt?”
Zhang Wu's fierce reputation made the palace servants afraid. They quickly knelt down and replied,"Replying to the Marquis Champion, the emperor felt frustrated recently and ordered the prime minister to organize a hunt.
The emperor, the rank of 2,000 stone and above Gongqing, must participate.”
Zhang Wu secretly thought that Boss Cao would come.
With the opening and closing of his mouth, it was clearly just a simple spar, but it had forcefully evolved into the emperor's winter hunt.
Not only did it satisfy Zhang Wu's request, but it also intimidated the emperor and officials. What a good one, killing three birds with one stone. He was indeed a master of politics.
Zhang Wu summoned his soldiers to inform Li Jue while he went to the stables to feed the horses.
The Flying Bear Army had always been disciplined and well-trained. Soon, they escorted the emperor's carriage out of Xuchang.
Soon, the mighty team arrived at the outskirts of the city. There was a special hunting ground in the suburbs, and the hunting ground was guarded by special personnel.
Of course, Tian Zi's hunt was just a formality. He couldn't really hunt ferocious beasts.
The large ferocious beasts in the hunting ground had either been driven away or killed, leaving only some elk, cunning rabbits, pheasants, and the like.
Even so, these birds and beasts would be specially driven to a smaller area to facilitate hunting.
A high platform was built in the open space near the hunting ground, and there were arenas on both sides.
After the emperor and prime minister sat down and the officials bowed, the winter hunt officially began.
The group of generals mounted their longbows and carried their horses, all of them holding their heads high.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Li Wei, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, and several other deputy generals lined up in a row.
Magnificent.
A group of strategists gathered around the stove and drank wine.
Zhang Wu didn't move. Instead, he sat by the fire and drank with him. Guo Jia was unhappy.
The number of times he could drink openly could be counted on one hand, and Guo Jia, who had drunk with Zhang Wu before, knew very well that the other party was just a wine jar. Naturally, he didn't think so.
Happy.
"Ziqian, if you don't go to the hunting ground to show off, how can you sit here and share the wine with us?”
"Oh? Is there a problem, Guo Da idiot?"
Guo Jia and Zhang Wu were old friends, so he was naturally not afraid of his fierce reputation. He immediately slammed the table and stood up."Bullshit, I, Guo Jia, have my own thoughts, but your mind is full of wild thoughts.
It's so violent. It's simply an insult to elegance."
Zhang Wu sat up straight, unmoved. He just smiled and said,"Why didn't I know that Feng Xiao had become a woman?”
Everyone present was intelligent and wise. Thinking about it carefully, there were hills and valleys in their chests. Aren't they women?
Everyone wanted to laugh, but they also felt that the dirty words between martial artists were really humiliating and uncomfortable. Their faces flushed red and their beards trembled.
Guo Jia was so angry that he rolled his eyes.”
sob ~
A moment later, the horn blared loudly.
The palace servants sang loudly in front of the high platform,"The emperor's order, the winter hunt begins!"”
Immediately, the following hundred palace servants sang in unison: "The Emperor's decree, the winter hunt begins."
Xiahou Dun took the lead and rushed out.""Don't fight for talent. Since the general of the hussars isn't coming, I'll take the first place in the hunt.”
"Could it be that Xiahou Yuanrang is underestimating me, Chen Liudian Wei Fou?”Dian Wei galloped on his horse, and with a tiger roar, a lot of snow fell from the forest.
"Hahahaha, you boorish man, you really don't know anything. The winter hunt is mainly to test riding and archery.”
Dian Wei did not want to be outdone. Seeing the elk in front of him, he took out the small halberd in his bag and knocked away the arrow feathers shot by Xiahou Dun. Then, he urged his horse to jump, pulled the elk onto the horse's back, and took
The arrow with the tail feather engraved with the word 'Dian' directly pierced into the elk's neck. The elk did not forget to roll around. This fellow's temper rose and he pulled off the deer's head. The dark red blood instantly stained the deer's neck.
The snow-white ground was dyed red.
The generals at the side were dumbfounded. There was such a thing?
Xun Yu, who was beside the stove, was also excited and even wanted to try it out."Chen Liu and Dian Wei are so terrifying. Who does the Marquis Champion think will be the first to win this winter hunt?
”
Xun Yu's martial strength wasn't low. He was proficient in the Six Arts of a Gentleman. His riding and archery skills were better than those of ordinary third-rate martial artists. He was a Han scholar who could really kill people with a sword, not those people who had broken the rules.
The only thing left behind was a bitter scholar who was full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
"Mister Wen Ruo, don't blame me, just address me by my name.”
Xun Yu did not refuse. He smiled and asked,"Then do you think Dian Wei can be the first to win?"”
"Probably not. Although brute force hunting is bloody, it's not efficient enough. The competition for the first name should be between Miao Cai and Yuan Rang.”
As expected, just as Zhang Wu finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan drew his bow and shot three arrows, hitting the pheasant, snow roe deer, and wild rabbit respectively. He instantly overtook Dian Wei.
This was the reason why Zhang Wu didn't fight for the first place.
He didn't know archery, and although he could hunt by throwing javelins with one hand, the efficiency was too slow. If he really lost, he would lose face as the number one general in the world.
Everyone loved fame, and Zhang Wu was no exception.
On the high platform, Cao Cao was very happy and drank wine.”
Liu Xie was helpless and could only answer 'majestic'.
On the first day of hunting, Xiahou Yuan won the first place. On the second day, Cao Chun won first place in the hunt. On the third day, Xiahou Dun narrowly defeated Cao Ren and took the first place.
Once the three days were over, it would be the arena competition.
The left ring is archery, and the right ring is martial arts.
In terms of riding and archery, Xiahou Yuan, who was good at archery, could be said to be the best among the Cao camp generals. The day before yesterday, he was competing in the hunting ground just to take care of the face of the generals.
He had let them go for three days, or else he would have taken the top spot for three days.
"The Prime Minister has ordered that the name of the rider and archer will be given a red robe of Shu brocade.”
The winter hunt was going smoothly.
The generals realized that Zhang Wu had yet to enter the arena.
This made them feel a lot more at ease, and they could boldly compete for credit.
