In order to be able to catch wild boars alive and not cause casualties, Chen Xu had a large number of traps dug on the periphery of the wild boar herd.

Then he sent men to shoot the wild boars with arrows without arrows, which angered them and caused the people to shout loudly, so that the wild boars were frightened.

Sure enough, the frightened herd of wild boars ran frantically, and many fell into the trap. Some wild boars that were lucky enough to run out of the trap were also shot by Chen Xu and his soldiers.

Wild boar herds are a self-evident threat to ordinary hunters, but facing a team of elite soldiers and experienced hunters is a piece of cake.

It can be said that this hunt for wild boars was very successful.

Wu Ling came to Chen Xu's side with excitement on his face, and said loudly: "Lord, there are a total of one hundred and twenty-one wild pigs, and none of them have escaped!" ”

Since Tian Feng issued the decree, everyone's name for Chen Xu has also begun to change. The current soldiers either call him 'general' or 'lord'.

Chen Xu nodded, and then summoned some senior hunters and asked them why there were so many wild boars gathered here.

Based on their own experience, several hunters gave Chen Xu this answer: "General, generally speaking, wild pigs have their own territory. However, this year, there has been heavy snowfall, and the plants and plants are covered in heavy snow. ”

"The wild pigs can't find food in the ice and snow, so they have to set their eyes on the big village where we are waiting."

"Although there is a lot of snow in Dazhai, because the general regularly sends people to clean it up, it is much better than outside."

"In addition, we have stored a lot of weeds, melons and fruits, so we will summon these hungry wild pigs."

When Chen Xu heard this, he was overjoyed.

The number of wild boars in the Taihang Mountains is very large, and there are many other fierce beasts. Wouldn't it be a very good thing to be able to take advantage of this heavy snow and dispose of all these fierce beasts that threaten people?

In this way, it not only solves the hidden dangers in the cottage, but also can catch many animals such as wild boars, hares, and pheasants, which are used to domesticate as poultry.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu summoned all the generals under his tent to come to the meeting.

After everyone knew Chen Xu's idea, they all raised their hands in favor. In this way, within a radius of fifty miles from the Yellow Turban Army's Dazhai, one trap after another was arranged.

The winter is bitterly cold and snowy.

Now it is very difficult for not only wild boars but other predators to forage for food.

In addition, the Taihang Mountains are remote, and there are many fierce beasts, so ordinary hunters dare not enter the mountains. During this period of snowfall, the cottage can be said to be very fruitful.

Tigers, wolves, jackals, these beasts of prey were also hunted and killed.

It wasn't until later that the animals seemed to know that these two-legged creatures were not to be messed with, and they began to migrate to other places.

However, in the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, a lot of wild boars, goats, and hares have been captured.

For a while, on snowy days, people began to worry about the food of these animals.

Chen Xu was busy hunting beasts and catching animals, so he threw all other trivial matters to Tian Feng.

For more than ten days, the snow fell intermittently, and it was not until today that the weather finally cleared.

Chen Xu beckoned the person in charge of raising horses over and asked him, "How is the situation with the war horses?" ”

Due to the heavy snowfall and the lack of grass, the horses could only eat some hay, and their physical condition was not good.

The horse keeper looked embarrassed and said, "War horses only eat hay, but they can't maintain their daily needs. Fortunately, there is no battle now, and I stay in the stable every day, otherwise the situation of the war horse will be even worse. ”

"Generally speaking, in the feed of war horses, some soybeans and corn should be ground into powder, so as to meet the nutritional needs of war horses."

When Chen Xu heard this, he pondered for a long time.

Although the Yellow Turban Army grabbed a lot of food, when they came to Dazhai, they did not grow crops and could only live on the food they robbed.

As a result, it will be difficult to make it through the fall. Therefore, Tian Feng asked the cottage people to save food, only eat two meals a day, and manage half full.

Even so, these people who followed Chen Xu up the mountain did not complain at all.

Most of them used to be homeless people, and if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that few of them would have survived this heavy snow this winter.

"Although there is a surplus of food in the cottage now, for the sake of long-term planning, I am afraid that the grain cannot be fed to the war horses."

"But if you don't do this, I'm afraid the physical condition of the war horse will get worse and worse. What should I do? ”

Wu Ling stood aside and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that the war horses don't eat meat, otherwise if they are fed a little meat every day, they will definitely be able to grow fatter." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Chen Xu suddenly remembered that war horses can still eat meat. If you feed them some meat, they won't be deficient in nutrition.

After a period of hunting, a large amount of meat was stored in the cottage.

In order to store food, Chen Xu did not let the people eat openly. Instead, he treated meat as a luxury, rewarding those who had made great contributions.

"By the way, you can wash the livers of animals that we don't eat, grind them into powder and sprinkle them into the food of the war horses. You can also grind all the leftover bones from everyone into powder, mix them with hay, and feed them to the war horses. ”

When the horse breeder heard Chen Xu's words, he was shocked and hurriedly retorted: "Absolutely not, how can horses eat meat?" ”

Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "You just do as I say, first feed a few war horses like this, and if it has an effect, then popularize this method." ”

He wasn't sure if it would be okay to feed the horses meat and eat bone powder. Chen Xu only vaguely remembered that he had seen this on the Internet in his previous life. But what exactly is going on, it remains to be seen.

The weather cleared up and the snow began to melt.

On this day, the horse keeper came to Chen Xu's side again, crying with a sad face, saying that the horses with minced meat and bone meal added to the food were sick and had been diarrhea.

Chen Xu was shocked and hurriedly admitted his mistake to the horse breeder. Later, after thinking about it, he still didn't allocate food to the war horses, but only instructed the horse keeper to feed the war horses more grass.

It only needs to stay up for a few more months, and when the grass grows, there will be no more problems with the war horse.

War horses lose weight in winter, which may be a very normal thing.

The New Year is getting closer and closer, and Chen Xu finally received a letter from Taishan. The letter told Chen Xu that after the beginning of spring, they would all move to Taihang Mountain.

Chen Xu was thinking about whether to send troops over and escort the people of Mount Tai all the way over.

Suddenly, a scout ran over in a panic and said to Chen Xu: "Lord, there is a young man coming down the mountain, and he has brought dozens of people up the mountain. ”

"We had many brothers who tried to come up and catch him, but no one was his enemy, and he knocked them to the ground and tied up his men."

"Even the little handsome man who patrols the mountains was caught by that person!"

Chen Xu Huoran got up and asked, "Who is that person's surname, and why did you break into my cottage?" ”

The scout secretly glanced at Chen Xu, and then whispered: "That person claimed to be Changshan Zhao Zilong, and said that the lord had kidnapped his brother and sister, and he would definitely arrest the lord today, so that his brother and sister could go down the mountain." ”

Chen Xu suddenly heard that it was Zhao Yun, and said with a laugh: "I have been looking forward to it, and I really hope that Zilong is coming." ”

Then he picked up his spear and said to Wu Ling: "I'll go down the mountain first to meet this person, and you go and ask Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu to go over together." ”

Then Chen Xu beckoned the soldiers outside the door and rushed down the mountain in a hurry.

Changshan Zhao Zilong can be said to be Chen Xu's favorite military general of the Three Kingdoms.

Not only him, but everyone in later generations who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms will have a good impression of this brave general, who values love and righteousness, and works hard.

Beneath the mountain road, there is an open field, where a teenager with a wooden stick is rampaging among hundreds of Yellow Turban troops. Wherever he passed, the Yellow Turban soldiers turned on their backs.

"This young man is so brave, even if the general is here, it's nothing more than that, right?"

On the mountain road, there are dozens of people with bows, arrows and spears, holding the place where they must pass up the mountain.

Zhao Yun's martial arts are deeply rooted in Tong Yuan's true heritage, and he is already preparing to go down the mountain this year. But he never thought that after returning to the township, he heard the news that his brother and sister were taken away by the Yellow Turban Army.

When he first heard the bad news, Zhao Yun only felt that the sky was dark, and he gritted his teeth to avenge his brother and sister.

It wasn't until later that he learned that it was because Chen Xu, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, had heard of his reputation and wanted to recruit him under his command that he took his brothers and sisters away.

Zhao Yun thought to himself, although he has some force, but his reputation is not obvious, how can he get the favor of the Yellow Turban Army Marshal?

Since the Yellow Turbans acted like this for him, presumably their own brothers and sisters would not be abused.

But after knowing this news, no matter what, Zhao Yun had to break into the Yellow Turban Army's big village.

The young people in the village learned of Zhao Yun's plan and asked to go with him. Among them, there is also a young hero, whose surname is Xiahou, and his single name is a blue character.

Xia Houlan is a native of Zhaoyun Township, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Back then, Tong Yuan accepted Zhao Yun as a disciple, and Xiahou Lan also wanted to worship Tong Yuan as a teacher.

Tong Yuan is known as the Penglai Spear God Sanren, and he is naturally a high-minded and arrogant person, and he is very strict with the selection of apprentices. Tong Yuan thought that Xia Houlan's qualifications were mediocre, so he didn't accept him.

Later, Zhao Yun begged bitterly, and Tong Yuan agreed to let Xiahou Lan go up the mountain to listen in his spare time. But between the two, there is no master-apprenticeship.

Xiahoulan has a good family background and has studied law since she was a child.

Later, he defected to Cao Cao, and when Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun fought at Bowangpo, they were born Xiahoulan. Yun remembered the friendship of the past and sought to survive for Xiahoulan.

And said that he knew the law, and recommended him to become a military chief.

Zhao Yun felt that since the Yellow Turban Army Qu Marshal had taken a fancy to his talent, he would not be in danger when he went up the mountain this time, so he brought them up.

Although Zhao Yun has practiced martial arts since childhood, he is delicate and extremely intelligent.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he first reported his name, and then went to the mountain with a wooden stick.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers who patrolled the mountains, when they heard that the person who came was valued by their own general, did not let go of cold arrows, and abandoned their sharp blades and picked up wooden sticks to fight Zhao Yun.

Otherwise, no matter how brave Zhao Yun is, he may not be able to save his life if he is fired by the Yellow Turban soldiers.
