Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71 Ability

Regardless of whether the civil servants of the Han Dynasty were happy or not, Xia Lie was launched under the leadership of Cao Cao, and it was full of gongs and drums. The great spears of the army marched from the wings with banners.

Autumn hunting is all about encircling, while summer hunting is all about driving. Under Wang Hou’s novel eyes, the soldiers in the front row are leading a small dog of the same breed as Erlang Shenxiaotiangou, which was specially used for hunting rabbits and voles in this era. The lighted stick carefully walked along the fields, the stick kept beating on the ridge of the field, and when there was a hole, the end of the fireworks was poked into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a very miraculous scene unfolded in front of Wang Hou's eyes. Countless big mice, occasionally mixed with some rabbits, came out of the field in a panic driven by the human wall, and were driven to the other side where there was no one. , Seeing the sound of seven-cha-cha-cha-cha running everywhere in a field, the number may not be less than a few thousand. Seeing the dense gray mice makes Wang Hou's goosebumps rise.

It never occurred to me that there would be so many rats in the era without tetramine and chemical fertilizers and pesticides!

After driving out these uninvited guests, the sergeants were still not busy hunting them down. After all, according to the ancient law, trampling on farmland was a felony, and Cao Cao himself had to cut off his hair to punish himself. , this time, all kinds of dogs came in handy.

These days, there are no dogs that meddle with rats. After all, domestic cats are still wandering in the deserts of India in this day and age!Before the cat owners entered the hearts of cat slaves in China on a large scale, they saw all kinds of slender hounds following the army of rats with great agility, snapping at the back, biting a rat's neck twice, Immediately left aside, in terms of rodent control efficiency, animals are more agile than humans. During the two chases, before they were driven out of the field, half of the rat army was dead or injured, and the corpses were piled up!

However, it would be a bit of a fuss to kill a mouse and send out an army!These days the sergeants probably ate more food than the mice, right?While following Mr. Cao's chariot to the southwest of Xudu, Wang Hou watched Xia Lie as a cartoon, but this time, the unexpected situation taught him another lesson.

Suddenly, halfway through, the marching sergeant screamed and fell to the ground, followed by a few nearby sergeants screaming and fleeing, and immediately the screaming of dogs under the wheat field followed. One after another, this scene, even Mr. Cao couldn't help turning his head away, shaking his head a little sternly.

"Meet a pig!"

No!
I am still used to the era when the forests on the edge of the city were beaten empty and there was not even a hare. In Wang Hou's incredible eyes, after a piece of wheat stalks rattled and shook, the sergeant kept hitting the ground with sticks and yelled loudly and violently. After the barking of a dog, a wild boar that was more than one meter long, with a mane on its back, and two big tusks was driven out of the field viciously and in a panic.

One pig, two bears and three tigers. Wild boars are sometimes scarier than tigers and wolves. The sergeant just now was accidentally bitten by a wild boar that ran into the field, and a piece of meat fell off his calf. I remember that after wild boars became protected animals in later generations , the villages near the Dabie Mountains in the south also suffered pig plagues. Wang Hou has seen what pig plagues are like now. Such a beast can dig an acre of wheat fields, and ordinary farmers with hoes can't handle him.

There was more than one. In the fields near Funiu Mountain, people roared, dogs barked and wild boars roared one after another. For these big guys, Cao Cao's army was not busy hunting them. Then, it was time for entertainment for Wang Hou and the gentry bureaucrats.

Seeing the pig enter the field, the young generals and lieutenants who followed Cao Cao and were not on guard duty cheered and got on their horses one after another. Even the girl Cao Hongjie gave a cheer and galloped out with a bow in her hand. He stretched out his hand and shouted loudly: "Hey! Dangerous! This silly girl!!!"

But before he finished speaking, he obviously felt a chill falling on him. Seeing Mr. Cao with a dark face, staring at him with a straight mouth, under the strange eyes of those scholar-bureaucrats, rats and senior officials, Wang Hou Sadly, he shrank his head back.

Hunting is really a noble activity. A large wilderness is surrounded by soldiers carrying flags. The driven voles, rabbits and wild boars can only move within a square area. Among the dense prey, each one is wearing a robe or The scholar-bureaucrats of the armored family drew their bows gracefully, and the bowstrings buzzed. Even a ferocious wild boar with more than a dozen arrows hanging from its body had to collapse to the ground with a mournful cry.

This is the Han Dynasty, the wildest and most primitive scholar-officials, our ancestors!If it was Song and Ming's weak-handed scholars, let alone galloping on horseback, seeing this monster full of fangs, it would be nice to pee on the ground with weak legs.

It's no wonder that field hunting has such a strong political meaning. The driver drove to the edge of the hunting ground outside the field. Cao Cao also got out of the chariot, laid down the case, set up the wine, and hustled for half an hour. Cao Hong, the patriarch of the Cao family, was elated Carrying the first porcupine with many arrows on its back, a dead wild boar came to Cao Cao. The wild boar swayed around in front of the scholar-official circle like a show off, and then threw it on the ground into the circle painted with white lime. Immediately bow heavily.

"Prime Minister, the last general will present a feast!"

"Okay, as expected of one of the four pavilions and eight pillars of my Cao family, watch the wine!"

His own family wins glory, Mr. Cao's originally gloomy old face also turned red now, he waved his big sleeves, and ordered happily. The fierce general was not humble either, he picked it up and gulped it down.

Those scholar-bureaucrats couldn't help boasting and admiring nearby, what a strong man!The guy who listened to it was even more embarrassing, and his bearded old face was still stained with alcohol.

But he didn't last long. It turned out to be Wang Hou's kin, also from the Jinyang Wang family. A bearded man, Wang Xiong, was broken. This time, two people were carrying a wild boar that was more than one meter long and weighed at least two hundred catties. He came in and threw it directly into the prey circle. Immediately afterwards, he fell heavily in front of Cao Cao like a rice bag was thrown on the ground.

"The last general, Wang Xiong, present it to the prime minister!"

"What a strong man, give me wine! Give me a piece of silk!"

Amidst Cao Cao's loud laughter, another cup of wine was brought up. Wang Xiong also drank boldly. On the other side, feeling ashamed, Cao Hong entered the stage holding a bow and panting heavily.

Immediately afterwards, bloody prey were dragged up one after another, filling up the prey circle, and some even carried huge big rabbits to make up for it, but Cao Cao didn't get mad, but smiled one by one After the wine was given, a few family members or military officers who were humble in position but showed great strength were also promoted on the spot, and no matter how bad they were, they were rewarded with a piece of cloth. ugly.

It’s no wonder that Dong Chengwu Shuo’s relatives outside the Han Dynasty were unwilling, not only because field hunting is a gift from the emperor, but also because field hunting is the promotion field second only to the official battlefield, and all the children of the family are happy According to the laws and regulations of this era, it is equivalent to these outstanding family members worshiping Cao Cao and becoming Cao officials instead of Han officials. It is competing with the Han Dynasty for talent and fame.

Dong Cheng's eyes fell on Xun Yu inadvertently again. However, the elder brother of Cao Cao's aristocratic family, apart from giving Wang Hou a cold look at first, then he acted as if he didn't sleep well last night. With half-jawed eyes covered with big sleeves, he didn't make a sound.

Don't look at the ones carrying prey one after another, but it doesn't mean that wild boars are easy to kill. The rough skin and thick flesh of this thing are almost comparable to armor, and the power of bows and arrows is far weaker than firearms. Jumping around vigorously, Cao Hongjie didn't hit the girl, sweating all over, and came back resentfully.

She was lucky that she didn't catch one. The galloping wild boar knocked down a lot of scholar-bureaucrats on horseback. Not to mention the crippled leg of the horse, the man fell several somersaults on the ground, and even fell into disgrace. The unlucky man of the Hongnong Yang family had a gash cut open in his stomach by the fangs of a wild boar, and his intestines flowed out. He was carried out, and he didn't know if he could be rescued.

But just like the polo in the Tang Dynasty, although it was bloody and barbaric, it was an era when literati could lift their bows and strike their swords, representing the most vigorous martial spirit in ancient China!
Seeing that the time was getting later and later, after drinking happily all afternoon, the sun had already begun to rise in the west, but the Changshan Zhao Zipo beside him was still dangling on the horse with the old god, he was not too thirsty, and he even rubbed out the water from his arms. A sesame oil flatbread that was stolen from the kitchen at some point, stuffed it into his mouth happily, Wang Hou was so impatient, he couldn't help it, he slipped back from Cao Cao, and stabbed him hard with his elbow. He gave Zhao Yun a sudden urge, lowering his voice and hurriedly urging.

"Hey! Hurry up and get on the stage! It'll be gone in a while!"

"Didn't the commander let Zhao take the top spot? Competing with a group of little guys for this thing, what ability can you show! Besides, the summer hunting must last at least one Humu round, six days, what's the rush!"

Good guy, the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, this guy looks like he is holding the chance of winning, but Wang Hou just rolled his eyes.

"I hope you can really play well! Otherwise, I'll tell your Ruan'er that she, Brother Zhao, is such a wimp that she wouldn't dare to kill a pig!"

"you dare!"

But just as the two of them were furious and bickering, suddenly there were a few loud screams, followed by the sound of a small off-road vehicle running over, and it was too late to get angry with Zhao Yun. He got on his horse, and Wang Hou raised his hand violently. The binoculars, and then his jaw almost fell off.

"There is such a big guy!"

A giant wild boar plundered the lens barrel of his earthen telescope. Good guy, this thing is almost two meters long and more than one meter high. It is estimated to be about a ton. Behind him, several Cao soldiers fell to the ground like bowling balls , several spears were broken, and one was kicked and foamed by the trotters of pigs.

"Mine!"

Just as Wang Hou was amazed, a silver light flashed in front of him suddenly, and Cao Cao, who was also holding a field telescope, also heard loud shouts.

"Cao Hong please fight!"

"Xiahoudun invites you to fight!"

"Li Dian please fight!"

"Please fight against the ban!"

Amidst the yelling from the self-reported house, the horseshoes crackled, and more than 20 well-known, well-known generals of the Cao army rushed out to kill this rare pig king.

This competition is who is more capable!
