489. Chapter 489: Hunting
Liu Bei stayed here for two days, and after all, he still had to resign to Wen Zhao.
After all, Liu Bei is now the lord of a state, and his domestic affairs are busy, so it is impossible to leave Yuzhou for a long time. What's more, he doesn't have many talents under his command now, and many things can only be handled personally.
Wen Zhao kept again and again, and strongly invited Liu Bei to go hunting. Liu Bei had no choice but to agree to Wen Zhao's suggestion.
Early the next morning, Wen Zhao led a group of generals under his command to hunt in the mountains. Even Gan Ning, the general of the navy, and Chen Gong, a scribe, also went together.
Wen Zhao walked in front of the horse and said to Liu Bei behind him: "After today, I will part with my brother, and I am very reluctant in my heart." ”
Liu Bei said: "Bei Yi can't be with the general day and night, but the affairs in Yuzhou are busy, and there are not many available people under him, so I have to go back as soon as possible." ”
He came to Yangwu this time, and the original intention of contacting Chen Xu had been achieved, so he was anxious to go back.
Wen Zhao sighed: "In this case, I must fight a fat prey today, so that I can see off Brother Xuande." ”
Summer is a time of great foliage and is a time of great hunting. Hundreds of people rode into the mountains and forests, but many of their prey had already been frightened away.
In addition, there is only one hill here, and there are not many prey. After working for a long time, they only caught a few birds and hares, but they didn't encounter a single large prey.
Later, they abandoned their horses, carried bows and arrows and weapons, and went up the mountains on foot to hunt. Rao is so, and the harvest of the people is still not much.
Wen Zhao wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and said with some self-deprecation: "I never thought that I would wait for a group of battlefield generals to come to hunt, and I would actually return empty-handed." If this is spread out, won't it be laughed at? ”
Chen Gong laughed twice and said, "The lord is domineering, and the prey in the mountains flees from the wind. If you can't hit your prey, it's not a crime of war. ”
Although no big game was hit, the crowd's interest was still very high. When the generals heard Chen Gong's slightly ridiculous words, they immediately couldn't help but laugh happily.
Zhang Fei, who was full of beards, couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that I didn't meet tigers and brown bears." Otherwise, they must be given a taste of the power of my spear! ”
Dian Wei used to live in the mountains and forests for a long time, but he was very experienced in hunting. He opened his mouth and said, "What the military advisor said is right, it is indeed not good for a large group of people to come hunting. ”
"In the past few years, there have been many famines, and many homeless people have fled to the mountains to hunt for a living. As a result, there are naturally fewer and fewer prey in the mountains. ”
"What's more, this mountain forest is not a big mountain, and the large game in it is extremely rare. If there were fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves, the government would have sent people to hunt them a long time ago. ”
Dian Wei was right, in those mountains and forests that are not remote, there can be no fierce beasts such as tigers and wolves. After Wen Zhao pacified Guanzhong, he naturally attached great importance to the lives of the people.
If there are fierce beasts in the places where the people are often active, the government will offer a reward for hunting these beasts. If no one unveils the list, the government will organize its own army to hunt in the mountains.
All in all, these beasts must not be allowed to kill people. Otherwise, the local officials will be disgraced and dismissed.
The Yangwu County Commander hurriedly responded: "General Dian is right, although there were a few fierce beasts here before, they have already been hunted by the government. General Zhang wants to hunt large prey here, I'm afraid it's a little unlikely. ”
Although the current owner of his own family may not feel very happy because he has not caught large prey. However, if there is a large beast in this position, it is a failure of his county order.
"Roar!"
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar sounded, and Yangwu County Ling's face immediately changed.
This roar was definitely made by a large beast. He just said that the large beast here had been eliminated by the government, but he didn't expect to hear the roar of the beast now.
In this way, the Yangwu County Commander slapped himself in the face.
Zhang Fei didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Who said that there are no large beasts, isn't there a fierce tiger?" ”
"Stay here for a while, and watch a certain family hunt for you!"
As far as Zhang Fei was concerned, he didn't know how to write the word 'afraid', and when he heard the roar of the tiger, he immediately began to get excited.
But he didn't notice that Yangwu County Commander's face was getting darker and darker.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was good at observing words and feelings, so he hurriedly said: "Maybe this tiger came from other places today, and it naturally has nothing to do with Ming Ting." Today, since we have met us, we will remove a single evil for the people. ”
Ming Court is the honorific title of the Han Dynasty for the county order. Liu Bei treats people sincerely, even if it is just a county order, he will try his best to maintain it.
Wen Zhao also nodded secretly, he came out to hunt this time, but it was just a temporary rise, but he never thought that he would really catch large prey.
However, since it has encountered a tiger, it is natural that it cannot be indulged to harm the Quartet.
"The courage of virtue naturally knows, but the tiger is a great scourge, and it runs extremely fast in the mountains and forests, and if it is not careful, it may escape. To be on the safe side, let's set up an ambush and surround the tigers. ”
The mountains and forests are overgrown with trees and the roads are bumpy, and if the tiger insists on escaping, it will be extremely difficult to hunt again. It was with these in mind that Wen Zhao said the previous words.
Zhang Fei is also a person who understands the general situation, and after hearing Wen Zhao's words, he immediately stopped talking.
Dian Wei pricked up his ears, and suddenly said, "No, the roar of this tiger seems to be a little weak. If you listen closely, it seems that there are also human shouts. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and secretly thought: "Could it be that someone is hunting tigers?" ”
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look!"
Thinking of this, Wen Zhao no longer hesitated, nor did he think about surrounding the tiger, and directly beckoned everyone to rush to the location of the tiger's roar.
In the mountains and forests of the north, a group of people chased the lame tiger and tried to hunt it down.
"Hurry up and catch up, Hugh is going to leave the tiger, kill him and you will receive the reward from the government!"
The leader shouted loudly, and chased forward with a steel fork and a bow and arrows.
They are all hunters in the former Wu County, because there are tigers in the Nanshan Mountains to cause trouble, and the county order issued a document to reward the hunting tigers.
This time, in order to hunt the tiger, more than 100 experienced hunters gathered in several villages, set traps to injure the tiger, and then chased them all the way from the original Wu county town to this place.
Many of the hunters were sweating profusely and were already a little exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and chased after the tiger in their hands. They were not willing to let the reward get away with it.
The tiger was injured in the hind leg and was hit by a few arrows in his body, so he fled forward in a panic, just colliding with the oncoming Chen Xu and others.
Seeing this, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Chen Hu and others all had their eyes lit up, and the tiger roared and was about to go to kill the tiger with his weapon.
Wen Zhao looked at the injuries on the tiger's body, and hurriedly said, "Hugh is going to poke the tiger's skin!" ”
He knew that a complete tiger skin was worth a lot, and since this tiger was being hunted, it was naturally difficult for them to snatch other people's prey.
However, Wen Zhao, as the lord of Guanzhong, naturally would not let the tiger continue to wreak havoc after seeing it.
Several fierce generals understood what Wen Zhao meant, and they all used their weapons as wooden sticks and smashed them at the tiger. This tiger, which was already seriously injured, encountered several peerless fierce generals, and naturally there was no reason to be spared.
The injured still didn't have time to escape, and it was already whining.
Several people used their skills to fight cattle across the mountain, and smashed the tiger's internal organs, but the tiger skin was intact. Of course, the tiger already had a few arrows on its body, which naturally destroyed the integrity of the tiger's skin.
"Quick, catch up!"
The group of panting Orions roared loudly, desperately rushing towards Wen Zhao's side. After they stepped forward, they were shocked when they saw the tiger who fell to the ground, as well as Wen Zhao and the others, who were very high.
Chen Xu and the others came to hunt, although they were dressed in a strong suit, they did not wear armor. Therefore, those hunters can't see their identities.
It's just that in front of Wen Zhao and the others, the hunters still felt a huge pressure.
The leader gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "Fellow warriors, I waited for a hundred or so people to shoot and wound the tiger, and I have been chasing the Daoyang Wu territory from the original Wu Xianheng, but I don't want the tiger to die in your hands. ”
"However, we are waiting for the official bounty, and although the big worm died at your hands, it was also you who robbed us of our prey."
Although the man's meaning was tactful, it was also very obvious, he wanted to get the tiger's body back.
Wen Zhao chuckled twice and said, "We just have the right time, and we don't have the intention of snatching your prey." It's just that we have been hunting prey for half a day today, but we have not encountered large beasts, so we are happy to see the hunt. ”
"If you want to exchange the tiger's corpse for a reward, even if you take it, we have no objection."
Although the tiger was killed by his own people, Wen Zhao was not able to snatch the tiger's corpse with the people under his rule. He came from a poor background, so he naturally knew the value of a tiger corpse to these people.
The leading hunter didn't think that this majestic man in front of him would be so easy to talk to, but he was a little overwhelmed.
Zhang Fei didn't want to compete with the hunters for the tiger carcass, but he still couldn't help muttering: "I thought there was tiger meat to eat today, but I didn't want to make wedding dresses for others." ”
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, the Orion Leader felt a little embarrassed.
Wen Zhao laughed twice and said, "Yide wants to eat tiger meat, why is it difficult? ”
He looked at the leader of the Orion and said, "The strong man wants to return the tiger's corpse just for a reward. ”
"Why don't we wait for the same reward as the government to buy this tiger. As for the tiger skins, you can also sell them for money. ”
