Chapter 41 Hunting! (1/2)
In the early morning, Cao Chong was wearing this strange dress he was awkward.
The long clothes and trousers were already tight, with a tied hair and a tied head, without the elegance of the Confucian uniform. In front of Dong'er, Cao Chong suddenly felt a heroic spirit, but in Cao Chong's heart, he felt a different feeling.
From a modern perspective, Cao Chong's dress is a bit non-mainstream now.
"My husband, please catch a little rabbit for me." Dong'er helped Cao Chong tidy up his clothes, lit his little fingers and pouted, as if he was very eager.
It's really naive!
Cao Chong pinched Dong'er's nose bridge and finally finished putting on his hunting outfit.
"Of course, if you ride your horse for your husband today, you will definitely make a bunch of rabbits for Dong'er!"
Search, seedling, shredding, and hunting are the names of hunting in spring, summer, autumn and winter in ancient times.
Spring search, spring search, hunting animals without pregnancy. Because spring is the season for reproduction, it shows that the ancients attached great importance to the balance of the number of animals in nature.
Summer seedlings are hunting animals that harm crops in summer. Because summer is the time for crop seedlings to grow vigorously, protecting the farmer from being ruined by animals and ensuring the harvest of grain is also a balance.
Autumn shrouds are wild beasts that kill birds. In autumn, poultry is about to grow up and protect them from invasion by wild beasts, reduce losses, and maintain balance in harvests.
Winter hunting, hunting, without distinction, can be hunted. In winter, all things rest. At this time, hunt some animals to increase harvest and maintain a balance of quantity.
Xiamiao hunting is the hunting of the emperor for the four seasons, but this time the hunting is just a family hunt. The participants are nothing more than the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
Because of this hunting, Cao Chong had a large bow on his hand. The bows of the Han Dynasty had long and short tips coexisted. Today, people call it "Ming Xiaotou", while the bows in Cao Chong's hand were mostly high, which was a three-stone bow.
To be honest, Cao Chong found that he couldn't pull it away.
Cao Chong was not disappointed. Anyway, his archery skills were just so good, so hunting or something might be just a fun thing.
After leaving the room, Zhou Buyi, Zhou Dufu and Hao Zhao were already waiting outside the door. They were wearing hunting clothes, especially Zhou Dufu, who looked very powerful.
Zhou Dufu has been a little depressed recently because Zhou Ying has left. Although Cao Chong wanted to keep Zhou Ying, her intention to leave was decided, so Cao Chong couldn't force her.
Fortunately, she should have done her ideological work for Zhou Dufu before leaving. Although Zhou Dufu was depressed this time, she kept listening to Cao Chong's words.
"Get on the horse!" Cao Chong had a Wuheng horse under his crotch, of course, it was a little worse than Zhou Dufu's horse king, but it was also one of the few good horses.
He rode his horse out of the east gate. Outside the city gate, a large group of black soldiers were displayed around and set up a large defensive formation. Cao Chong looked at it and couldn't help but feel thrust in his heart.
How magnificent I am Cao Wei!
The mighty army is my military!
Under the escort of three thousand cavalrymen, a general wearing military armor rode a horse at the east gate.
After a moment of sight, his name appeared in Cao Chong's mind.
Xiahou Yuan!
Xiahou Yuan, whose courtesy name was Miaocai, was from Qiao, Pei State (now Bozhou, Anhui). He was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was good at raiding and fighting thousands of miles.
Huh~
Cao Chong took a deep breath, took his horse to Xiahou Yuan, and bowed to salute.
"Uncle Miaocai, my nephew is polite!"
Xiahou Yuan nodded unconsciously, not deliberately trying to please or alienate.
"Cang Shu, go to Boquan's place!"
At this time, behind Xiahou Yuan, five tall and big people were riding dark horses, and most of them nodded to Cao Chong.
Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou Hui.
Of course, Xiahou Wei's expression was a little awkward. After recommending the Lianchi Banquet to Cao Chong, he was assassinated on his way back, which made him feel very guilty.
"Cang Shu is late today. A real man should make achievements. You are a member of our family and you can't just be addicted to the bed curtain!"
Xiahou Heng is the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, and at this moment he joked with Cao Chong.
Cao Chong felt a little sad, brother, I am still a virgin!
"Brother Bo Quan is just joking about Cang Shu!"
Cao Chong turned the horse and several men from the Xiahou family were in a row, and Zhou Dufu and Hao Zhao were naturally behind Cao Chong.
Among the descendants of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Heng were martial artists, and Xiahou Wei was a scholar, but his military power was also good. Xiahou said that he was not enough this year, but he was already famous for his talent. The most important thing is that his riding and shooting skills were not bad.
It can even be said to be very powerful.
After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the warm sun rose, Cao Chong rose a little longer and absorbed the Hongmeng purple aura at the sunrise.
"Uncle is here!"
Xiahou Heng was happy. In fact, he had been tired of waiting for a long time.
The Xiahou family and the Cao family are actually considered family members, and most of them are second-generation blood relatives in terms of kinship.
Cao Cao, wearing a hunting suit, looked a little heroic, with a red robe flying behind him, his unruly eyebrows raised, and his face full of energy.
"Miaocai set out!"
"No!" Xiahou Yuan took the order and immediately controlled the cavalry to wrap Cao Cao in a horseshoe-shaped formation and marched towards Xu Tian.
Xu Tian was the emperor hunting ground outside Xudu, but Cao Cao thought he could still come. After all, although this was the hunting ground of Emperor Xian of Han on the surface, it was actually the amusement ground of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
Xutian is located ten miles north of Xudu, and there are official roads along the way.
Riding a horse is a coolie, at least in front of Cao Chong. First of all, the horse is difficult to control, and secondly, the crotch really hurts. At this moment, Cao Chong grinned in pain.
But the fresh air of the Three Kingdoms period and the strange birds in the sky are no longer visible in later generations.
Ten miles, but in a blink of an eye.
Xutian is a hunting ground, but there are also walls. After entering Xutian, a large group of people were transporting their tools to camp.
"Cang Shu, Zijian, follow me closely!" Cao Cao waved to Cao Zhi and Cao Chong. Cao Chong naturally clamped his horse with his feet and followed Cao Cao's pace.
"Chong'er, can the three stone bows be pulled?"
Cao Chong held the reins in one hand and the back of his head with the other, and said with a silly smile: "The child is weak and can't pull it!"
Cao Cao was not angry, but smiled. In fact, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy could not pull it.
"This is not possible. You must gain something today!"
Harvest? Of course there are also!
Cao Chong looked at the Zhou Dufu Hao Zhao, who was fully armed behind him, and his prey was still in my jar.
Needless to say, Zhou Dufu was born as a hunter and naturally had a skill in hunting, and Hao Zhao was not an ordinary person at the same time.
"Zi Jian, when you drink together later, you have to write a essay!"
Cao Zhi bowed his body and bowed his head, and his eyes began to get blurred, obviously entering the stage of conception.
Cao Chong didn't have so much leisure to think about any poems. He was imprisoned in Xudu Sikong's Mansion, now he was like a newborn calf, with endless energy.
In the blue sky, white clouds, strange grass and flowers, and some birds that were not seen in later generations, Cao Chong seemed to have entered a nature reserve.
Drive ~
On the grassland, Cao Chong ran wildly, almost shouting.
Of course, Cao Chong has tried hunting.
The arrow aimed at the deer was crooked and was clearly aiming at the deer, but it shot into the tree. Cao Chong no longer had hope for what he could gain today.
But after all, Zhou Dufu is indeed an excellent hunter. In this place with a lot of prey, he was like a fish in water. After a while, the three of them could no longer hold their prey.
"Daotou, Bodao, let's go back to the camp first!"
"yes!"
Zhou Dufu rarely smiled, and a lot of dark clouds when Zhou Ying left also dissipated.
I rode back to the camp. It was no more than noon, but the camp was already in full bloom.
After the resumption of the funeral of Zhengwuheng was completed, Cao Zhang also returned to Xudu and happened to pass by Xu Tian today.
Chapter completed!
