Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 58 Winter Hunting
  Winter hunting has been around since ancient times, and Cao Cao was a little tired from busying himself with court affairs for days, so he just suggested to Liu Xie that Liu Xie was nothing more than a string puppet, so naturally he only
  agree.

I don’t know if it was God’s blessing, but early the next morning, the heavy snowfall in the past few days had subsided, and the wind was beautiful and the sun was clear, with no clouds in the sky.

Zhang Wu put on his armor under the service of his maid. Halfway through his breakfast, a palace official came to deliver an order, ordering him to dispatch three thousand fine flying bear cavalry to guard the emperor's carriage.

After the palace man passed the order, he was about to turn back, but was stopped by Zhang Wu.

"Little eunuch, please stop. I will ask you, is the emperor going to go hunting in winter?"

Zhang Wu's reputation was so fierce that the palace people were frightened and quickly knelt down and replied: "Returning to the champion, the emperor has been feeling depressed recently, so he ordered the prime minister to organize a hunt. Not only
  The emperor, all ministers with a rank of two thousand shi and above will participate. "

Zhang Wu secretly thought that Boss Cao would cause trouble.

Between opening and closing of this talk, it was obviously just a simple discussion, but it suddenly turned into the emperor Dong Shou.

Not only did it satisfy Zhang Wu's demands, not to mention training troops along the way, it could also intimidate the emperor's officials. Killing three birds with one stone, he is indeed a master of politics.

At that moment, Zhang Wu summoned soldiers to summon Li Jue, and he went to the stable to feed Chi Ji.

The Feixiong Army has always had strict military discipline and good training, and soon escorted the emperor's carriage out of Xuchang.

Soon, the mighty team arrived at the outskirts of the city. There were special hunting grounds on the outskirts of the city, and the hunting grounds were guarded by dedicated personnel.

Of course, the emperor's hunting was just a formality, and it was impossible to actually hunt the beasts.

The large beasts in the hunting grounds have either been driven away or have been hunted, leaving only some elk, cunning rabbits, pheasants and the like.

Even so, these birds and beasts will be driven to a smaller area to facilitate hunting.

In the open space near the hunting ground, a high platform was built, with arenas on both sides.

After the emperor and the prime minister sat down and all the officials paid tribute, the winter hunting officially began.

A group of generals straddled long bows and carried horses, all of them proud.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian, Li Jue, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu and several other generals were listed in a row, with great momentum.

Majestic.

A group of counselors gathered around the fire and drank.

Zhang Wu did not move, but sat by the fire and drank together. Guo Jia suddenly became unhappy.

There are only a handful of times when he can drink openly, but Guo Jia, who has drank with Zhang Wu, knows very well that the other person is just a wine vat, so naturally he doesn't like it in his heart.

happy to.

"Zi Qian, if you don't go to the hunting ground to show off your power, how can you sit here and share the drinks I'm waiting for?"

"Oh? Is there a problem, you idiot Guo?"

Guo Jia, who was an old acquaintance of Zhang Wu, was naturally not afraid of his evil reputation. He immediately stood up and said, "Fart, I, Guo Jia, have a lot of troubles in my chest, but you have a wild mind."

It's so violent, it's almost degrading to politeness. "

Zhang Wu sat upright, unmoved at all, and just smiled: "Why didn't I know when Fengxiao became a woman?"

All of you here are smart and wise people. If you think about it carefully, there are hills and valleys in your chest. Isn’t it a woman?
  Everyone wanted to laugh, but they felt that the dirty talk between warriors was really degrading to the gentlemen, and they couldn't hold back. Their faces turned red and their beards trembled.

Guo Jia was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "If you don't have three liang of ink in your chest, you will only have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth."

woohoo~
  After a while, the high-pitched and long sound of the horn sounded. The people in the palace sang loudly in front of the high platform: "The emperor has ordered that the winter hunting begins!"

Immediately, more than a hundred palace officials sang in unison: "The emperor has ordered that the winter hunt begins."

Xiahou Dun took the lead and rushed out: "Don't compete for talents. Since General Hussar doesn't come, I will take the first place in this hunt."

"Is Xia Houyuanrang looking down on me, Chen Liu Dianwei?" Dianwei galloped on his horse, and a tiger's roar startled a lot of snow falling in the forest.

"Hahahaha, you are such a ignorant fool. The main purpose of winter hunting is to test the school's riding and archery. You should forget it."

Not to be outdone, Dian Wei saw the elk in front of him. He took out the small halberd in his bag and knocked away the arrows shot by Xiahou Dun.
  The arrow with the tail feather engraved with the word "Dian" pierced directly into the elk's neck. The elk was still writhing. The guy got angry and pulled off the deer's head. The bright red blood stains instantly
  The snow-white earth was dyed red.

The generals nearby were dumbfounded, what kind of operation could they do?

Xun Yu, who was standing by the stove, was looking at it with excitement, even a little bit eager to try: "Chen Liu Dianwei, so terrifying, the champion thinks, who can compete first in this winter hunting?"

"

Xun Yu's martial arts value is not low, he practiced the six arts of a gentleman, and his riding and archery are better than those of ordinary third-rate warriors. He is a Han Confucian who can really kill with a sword, not those who are broken.

All that remains is the sour Confucian who talks about benevolence, justice and morality.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, please don't try to offend me. Just use words to match your words."

Xun Yu did not shirk and asked with a smile: "Does Zi Qian think Dian Wei can take the lead?"

"Probably not. Although brute force hunting is bloody, it is not efficient enough. The battle for the top spot should be between Miaocai and Yuan Rang."

Sure enough, just after Zhang Wu finished speaking, he saw Xia Houyuan in the paddock with his bow and three arrows, hitting a pheasant, a snow roe deer and a hare respectively, instantly overtaking Dian Wei.

This is the reason why Zhang Wu didn't leave the field and fight for the lead.

He is not proficient in archery. Although he can hunt by throwing a javelin with only one hand, the efficiency is too slow. He will really lose when the time comes. What is the face of him, the best general in the world?

Everyone in the world loves false fame, and Zhang Wu is no exception.

On the high platform, Cao Cao drank with joy and said: "The emperor can see how powerful our army is?"

Liu Xie had no choice but to answer "majestic".

On the first day of hunting, Xia Houyuan won the first place. On the second day, Cao Chun won the title of headhunter. On the third day, Xiahou Dun narrowly defeated Cao Ren and took the first place.

As soon as the three-day period passed, it was time for the battle in the ring.

The left beat is for shooting, the right beat is for martial arts.

In terms of riding and shooting, Xia Houyuan, who is blessed with good shooting skills, can be said to be the best among the generals in Cao Ying. He was competing for the lead in the hunting ground the day before yesterday just to save the generals' face.
  The water was released for three days, otherwise the top spot on the three days would be taken by him alone.

"The Prime Minister has ordered that the cavalry shooter be given a red robe of Shu brocade."

The winter hunt has gone smoothly up to this point.

Because the generals discovered that whether it was hunting or riding in the shooting arena, Zhang Wu never left the field.

This actually gave them a lot of peace of mind, allowing them to strive for credit boldly.
