Niu Mountain, commonly known as Niutou Mountain, is located in the south of Jiankang City 30 miles, with a radius of dozens of miles. The mountains are steep, the situation is dangerous, and the hills are undulating, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. It is connected with Hanfu Mountain in the north and forms a heavenly part of the southern suburbs of Jiankang. br/>

In May of the fourth year of Jianyan (113o years), Yue Fei had stationed troops here, took stones on the spot, borrowed the mountain to build fortifications to strengthen Ning, and held against Wanyan Zongbi for more than half a month. And the waiter attacked, more than a dozen battles, killing thousands of Jin soldiers, capturing hundreds of people, forcing Zong Bi to cross the Jiangbei and return, and recovering Jiankang in one fell swoop. This is also the time since the Jin army invaded the south, the Song army has recovered large cities. Yue Fei was also able to present a prisoner gift to Emperor Zhao Gouxing because of this merit, and his reputation rose, and Yue's army began to form an army at this time. To this day, there are still battles built here by Yue Fei for several miles.

Therefore, Zhao Chen's intention to choose Niushan as the location for the autumn festival is naturally self-evident.

In the early morning of the tenth day of October in the second year of Jianxing of the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Chen packed up his bags in the Jiankang Palace, led the Empress Yue Ying and the ministers of civil and military affairs to leave Jiankang and went out of the city to Niushan.

At this time, it was late autumn, but today the weather is good, the sun is gradually rising, and it is very comfortable to shine on people. After the people and horses walked out of the palace, they pulled out the old team, and the people and horses who opened the way all left Jiankang City, and the tail of the team remained in the palace. Along the way, the flag fluttered, and the knife was dazzling. It also provoked hundreds of people to stand on both sides of the street to watch, point and discuss.

After removing the Ma Junsi and the infantry soldiers who arrived at Niushan in advance, the people and horses who protected the emperor and his entourage were the palaces>Γ

The two of them, Wang Zheng, the commander of the Japanese army, and Xiao Yong, the commander of the Gongsheng Army, took the lead and opened the way in front of the team. Then is the emperor and the empress's Luan driving team, in order to show the goal of martial arts, Zhao Chen and Yue Ying are also dressed in military uniforms, under the cover of Jiuqu and Thirteen Silkworms, riding horses in parallel, beside the two, there are Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping two close protection, and there are guards on the front and back left and right to guard tightly, followed by Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru, with a team of shocking Yan Army, and other ministers and servants. Behind him are Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Zhao Ruyu, Liu Hui, and Yang Yi.

Behind them are the families of the ministers, the envoys from various countries who watched the autumn festival, Bai Yanjing and Wanyan Chen****, who also took dozens of servants and traveled with the team. There are also young warriors who participate in the field hunting, among which there are many ** dependents, everyone is light and fast, carrying a bow and a front, each according to the order, in turn, the whole team stretches for more than ten miles, and the momentum is mighty. Laughter and laughter along the way, full of energy. There are also several scholars from Zhongshan Academy who were also invited to participate, and they took the students with interest, pointing and laughing along the way.

After leaving the city, the team headed south. After walking for about an hour, we arrived at the foot of Niushan Mountain. Chen Min and Qi Fang, who arrived here first, had already waited for the holy car on both sides of the avenue.

At this time, at the foot of Niu Mountain, he had already set up a big village, the camp tent was continuous, and the flag was like the sea.

The whole camp is arranged into a phalanx, in the middle of the whole array, a high platform has been built, the length and width are nine zhang six feet, the height is three zhang and three feet, a total of three layers, in the high platform, the sword and Huai, the open and flat square, is the main venue for this field hunting and martial arts. Standing on the high platform, you can look down on the whole audience, which is very clear. On both sides of the high platform, there are two viewing platforms, both of which are much lower than the high platform, for the families of the ministers, other dignitaries and envoys of various countries to rest and watch the military performance.

And in the back of the high platform, is the imperial camp where Zhao Chen lives, all around the vertical and horizontal are thirty-six steps square, with a circle of stone walls to defend, just like a small village, and in the village to build more than a dozen houses, for the emperor, the queen and the chamberlain to live, in addition to Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru, Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping and other personal guards also live in the imperial camp.

And in the camp, there is also a large blank field, with a horse pen and a square for practicing riding, and now there are many people here to run horses and try to practice swords.

After Zhao Chen's group entered the village, the drum music immediately rose to the sky, and first ascended to the highest level of the high platform surrounded by several ruling ministers. The other civil and military ministers also found their positions on the high platform according to their respective ranks. Except for the soldiers who stood guard, all the other horses were lined up in front of the high platform. Then Prime Minister Chen Junqing announced that the autumn season had officially begun.

The first ceremony was held to worship the sky, and tens of thousands of troops shouted long live in the audience. Under the auspices of Zhou Kui, the secretary of the house, Zhao Chen, who had changed into a dragon robe, stood tall on the high platform and read aloud the sacrificial text of Qiu Zheng. Then he slaughtered three animals and worshiped heaven and earth. The whole ceremony took nearly an hour to finish. At this time, it was noon. Therefore, after the sacrifice was completed, the men and horses were disbanded, and each went back to the camp to rest and eat. Prepare for the autumn festival that will officially start in the afternoon.

The process of the three-day autumn festival is arranged in this way, the first morning of the day is the sacrifice ceremony, and the afternoon is the **** hunting activity. On the second day, there will be individual competitions, and on the third day, there will be team competitions for each army.

Because it was the Great Song Dynasty that held the Autumn Festival, the people who participated in the Autumn Festival this time were mainly from the Sanya Forbidden Army, and then there were some young children of the ministers' families, and the martial artists selected by the Liangzhejiang Road Prefecture Army. Although the Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature and light on martial arts, young people are very active, and in recent years, the Great Song Dynasty has been constantly fighting, and the martial arts style has gradually grown, so the number of participants is more than expected, a total of more than 1,200 people, basically half of each.

As early as a month ago, the roads into Niushan were ****, guarded by the forbidden army, prohibiting irrelevant personnel from entering and leaving, and there are strongholds everywhere in the mountain, divided into troops, although it is impossible to completely prevent a few people from sneaking in, but it is certain that there will be no large number of people entering the Niushan area, and safety is absolutely guaranteed. Moreover, five days ago, nearly 1,000 roe deer, deer, sheep and other animals were released in the cattle mountain for hunting.

Therefore, in the afternoon, Zhao Chen and Yue Ying also changed into long-sleeved hunting suits, carried bows and arrows, and in Zhao (17) and then locust (8) flash frame 9. Soldiers, go out of the camp and go into the mountains to hunt.

Although Zhao Chenyi emphasized that all ministers can **** activities and do not have to accompany themselves, more than a dozen major ministers such as Han Yanzhi, Liu Hui, Zhao Ruyu, Li Xianzhong, Chen Min, and Qi Fang can't let go after all, and they still accompany Zhao Chen as a team. Only Chen Junqing, Yang Yi and a few other older ministers were left in the camp.

After the emperor led the team out of the camp, the other people who participated in the autumn festival all went out of the camp in 6 years, and they formed a team with people they knew well, and some of them had lower official positions and did not want to follow the emperor's ministers also brought their sons and families into the cattle mountain to look for prey.

All of a sudden, people neighed and horses neighed, the barking of hounds resounded throughout the mountains, and some people still had falcons at home, and at this time they also sent their eagles into the sky to let them hover high in the sky and show off their might.

Zhao Chen's team has the largest number of people, and there are seven or eight falcons hovering in the sky, and Gu Xueping also brought out the two tigers in the family, but they were also injured by mistake, and they were all dressed in the unique cloth clothes of hunting dogs as identification. These two guys have been locked up in the house for a long time, and they have also been suffocated, as soon as they came out of the camp, Gu Xueping let go of their necks, spread their limbs, jumped up and down in the mountain streams and forests, and from time to time there was a tiger roar, which seemed very excited. It just frightened the hounds, and they hid behind their master's horses with their tails between their legs, and they didn't dare to go out no matter how they barked. made Gu Xueping laugh "Gege".

Zhao * Φ Φ Collapse Traces of Vinegar ∧ Skid Street Ring Box III. Let's talk about the emasculation!?br/>

Gu Xueping stuck out her tongue, tapped the horse's belly with her toes, and immediately stepped out of the crowd to chase the two tigers and run towards the mountains. She and Tie Chenglin have been married for more than half a year, so although they have dressed up as a young person, they are still innocent and coquettish, and all the ministers can't help but laugh.

Zhao Chen was also interested for a while, and said, "Let's catch up too." With that, he shook the reins and took the lead and jumped out. Tie Chenglin hurriedly followed and stayed by his side. Yue Ying and Zhao (17) caught the locust fever again, and moved their horses and rushed up. After making sure that the two tigers had run away, the hounds returned to normal, jumped left and right, and began to become active.

Zhao Chen and Yue Ying's riding skills naturally cannot be compared with those veteran generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time, but after all, they are not pampered when they are young, and they have also learned martial arts for a few years. In the palace, he often rode horses, so now it is not difficult to gallop through the mountains and forests. It's just that those civil officials are suffering, most of them usually use sedan chairs to travel, even if they ride horses, they are all flat and stable, and they can only be left far behind when they walk through this kind of mountain road.

In fact, Zhao Chen and the others didn't really want to hunt, but they just came out to respond to the scene. Therefore, he only walked around the mountains and forests near the camp, and did not go deep into the mountains. However, after all, they have been in the palace for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will be a little monotonous, and at this time, they can come out to breathe and gallop on horseback, and their hearts are naturally very happy. And Gu Xueping also took two tigers, a little away from the team, so some prey could also appear.

Because Zhao Chen was in a happy mood, he was full of energy and interest, and he also bent his bow and arrows and began to hunt. He often practiced ** arrows in the palace, and he was quite accurate, and in less than an hour, he was hit by a ** sheep and a roe deer, which also caused all the ministers to shout long live.
