Volume 11 Zhang Gong Bei Looks at the Sky Wolf Chapter 973 Hunting (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The grassland ushered in the twilight of spring, the weather gradually became hotter, the rain began to be abundant, the snow on the grassland has long disappeared, and everywhere is a thriving verdant color.
The herdsmen began to graze cattle and sheep, war horses, and some animals began to gradually move south, and the grassland began to become vibrant......
A herd of bison drinks water next to the stream, a sizable herd of deer grazing and running back and forth not far away, and the common predators of the grasslands, wolves and hyenas, also roam around, looking for opportunities to hunt for prey.
Suddenly, the sound of real horses' hooves sounded, and all the animals pricked up their ears, and the wolves disappeared first among the green grass, and then the hyenas disappeared with their tails between their legs.
The deer were in a commotion, pulling their hooves and leaving into the distance, only the bison, which were lazy and not too fast, crowded each other and migrated into the distance.
A few black dots appeared in the distance, which soon became clearer and clearer, and they whistled, spreading out in an arc, and surrounded the running prey.
Snow-white leather robes fluttered in the wind, black braids fluttered above their heads, and they clamped the horse's belly, laughed wildly, whistled to each other, and one by one plucked from their bodies the longbow that was finely made and rare in the steppe, and drew the carved feather from the quiver behind their backs, and put it on the bowstring, ready to shoot deadly arrows.
The deer ran very fast, and gradually they were about to leave their field of vision, but on the horizon, soon a black line appeared, and the black line gradually became clear, and flags fluttered above their heads. Intricate patterns drawn by gold threads sparkle in the sunlight.
In this grassland, there is no one who does not know what this pole means.
Under the big bang. The valiant warrior pressed the hilt of his sword majestically around the noblest men in the middle.
In the middle position, a strong middle-aged man with a short beard, a snow-white pointed leather hat, meticulously combed braids, a belt made of gold thread tied around his waist, and a snow-white leather robe lined with soft silk. Sitting majestically on a horse.
His powerful hand always rests on the waist knife adorned with precious stones, and it is said that it is the king's blade that the craftsmen of Khulezim spent countless time and money to make Zuò, which was once the saber of the Great Khitan Khan of Western Liao, but now, it hangs from his waist. As a symbol of authority.
He is the great khan of the powerful Naiban tribe, Tayang Khan, the son of the worship and observance of Bileg, who competed with his brother for the throne and eventually became the Great Khan of the Naiban tribe, after exiled his brother. The whole of the Nabarian tribe was shrouded in his majesty.
Undoubtedly, he was one of the most honorable men in the steppe, of course, if you excluded the declining Western Liao, and the rude Mongols. He is the only king of the steppe.
And occupied the northern steppes, all the time. Able to influence the Tatars, as well as the Nabarian tribe inherited from the throne of the Mongol Khan, most of them have always been superior to others.
Their strength, undoubtedly, was the wealth of the barbarian tribes, and they were also praised by the steppe tribes, because the caravans traveling from the south to the north would often pass through the barbarian tribes and offer gifts to the powerful barbarians as a sign of their respect.
Like the saber at his waist, which was given to him by a great merchant from the far west, the requirements were simple, only the Nabarian tribe guaranteed the safety of their caravans in the northern steppes.
In fact, the Naiban tribe did control most of the trade routes on the grassland, and even if the Khitans and Jurchens continued to rise, they failed to threaten the authority of the Naiban tribe on the grassland.
But now it is different, the Mongol tribes are expanding, and Tayang Khan's father, who worships Buhua, by virtue of the authority of the Naiban tribe, plunged the most powerful of the Mongol tribes into the chaos of war, and finally expelled Wang Han.
At that time, Wang Han was still very young, and with a few henchmen, he left the Kereh Department in despair and ran to the distant Western Liao.
When Wang Han returned to the Northeast Grassland again, he united with the powerful Qiyan tribe and regained his khan position, so the Kereh tribe and the Naiman tribe became hostile, and there was no more contact.
Today, most of the tribes of the Mongol tribes were subjugated to Genghis Khan's Temujin's horse, and the Kereh tribe also gathered many of their tribes, perhaps to avoid Temujin's edge, they began to move west.
In this way, there was an irreconcilable contradiction with the overlord of the northern steppe, the barbarians, and the war began.
At that time, it was also the time when Tayang Khan ascended the throne of the Naiban Khan, who was resolute by nature and was known as the most virtuous Khan of the Naiban Tribe, and was not afraid of powerful enemies.
He first sent people to unite the two major tribes of the Tatars, killed the wavering Arar Khan, relieved the worries of the Nabarian tribe, and at the same time subdued a powerful tribe of the Tatars, the Kale tribe, and began to concentrate on dealing with the Kereh tribe who moved west......
Over the years, the war has not stopped, but the heroic warriors of the Naiban tribe did not disappoint the Khan, and in the battle of Huqinhai more than a year ago, they defeated the cavalry of the Kereh tribe, so that the balance of victory completely tilted in favor of the Naiban tribe.
The advance of the Kereb was halted, and although the stoic Mongols were still holding on, refusing to retreat back to their own place in the northeast, it was to no avail, and the Barbarians were now considering whether to destroy the entire Kereh tribe, or to drive him back and go dog-eat-dog with the equally unruly Temujin.
Tayang Khan's deep gaze looked to the east, he was not much interested in the hunting in front of him, the prey in spring was still very thin, and only when autumn came, the meat of the prey would be fatter.
But the rules of the Naiban tribe are like this, when the winter passes, in order to let the warriors of the tribe move their hands and feet that have been frozen by the cold wind, every time at this time, a hunt will be held.
In addition to the children of the tribal nobles, these warriors participated in the hunt, and they would indulge in their riding and archery skills to the warriors of the Great Khan, in order to win the favor of the Great Khan.
And this year, there were many fewer people who came with him than in previous years, and many of the soldiers were fighting against the Kereh tribe in the east, and although the defeat of the Kereh was just around the corner, the counterattack before death was very amazing.
It is said that those filthy Mongol warriors, who rode their horses for days and nights without dismounting, followed the enemy like wolves, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.
And their royal tents are always on the move, making it impossible to find their whereabouts.
Stubborn enemy, this is what many warriors who returned from the east said about the Mongols, and it is also admirable, but the enemy is the enemy, and in another winter, maybe those guys will not be able to hold out.
This kind of war is also a great burden for the Naiban tribe, even if they take turns to send soldiers to the east, and the help of the Kale tribe, it still drags on for too long, and when the Kereb tribe comes west, no one will expect the powerful Naiban tribe to be dragged into such a quagmire.
After a few years of attrition, the casualties of the warriors, all kinds of other attrition, are very staggering, and most importantly, the authority of the Naiban tribe in the steppe has been greatly damaged.
For such a long time, the powerful Naiman tribe was unable to destroy one of the Mongol tribes, and some bad rumors began to appear in the steppe, all that when Temujin joined the war, that is, when the Naiban tribe failed.
This was almost unimaginable during his father's reign, which made Tayang Khan very angry, so even in the spring, he chose to fight, and no longer gave the Kereb any chance to recuperate.
He was awakened by a shout of cheer, and a stout bull was shot to the ground, the largest prey ever received......
A man galloped over, occasionally raising the sword and arrow in his hand from time to time, causing bursts of cheers.
An old man next to Tayang Khan said with a smile: "Great Khan, Lu Bu is becoming more and more brave, and he will definitely become a hero sung by everyone in the steppe in the future, just like the Great Khan." ”
Tayang Khan smiled and tilted his head, it was Ah Wuer Cha Beiqi who spoke, and his daughter, who was the wife of his son Lu Bu, would naturally speak for Lu Bu from time to time......
Lu Bu quickly came to Da Xuan, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of Tayang Khan, his young face was flushed with excitement and health, and he said loudly: "Lu Bu will dedicate his prey to Father Khan." ”
His voice caused another round of cheers, and Lubu, as one of the most courageous sons of Tayang Khan, was already supported by many people among the Naiban tribe.
Tayang Khan smiled and nodded, "Lubu, it seems that in two years, you will be able to get the title of Ah Bald, I am very proud of you, but you must remember that the best prey should not be given to me, but to be shared with all the loyal and brave warriors......"
Lu Bu said loudly without hesitation: "Yes, Lu Bu will remember Father Khan's words, but Father Khan should know that Lu Bu can hit more prey, and ask Father Khan to accept Lu Bu's first prey today." ”
Everyone laughed, Tayang Khan nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "What a stubborn child......"
As he spoke, he took off the exquisite carved bow hanging on the side of the horse and handed it to the servant, "Take this one, I hope you can shoot better prey." ”
Young Rubu took the delicately carved bow studded with jewels, stood up, raised his hand above his head, and immediately burst into cheers.
Tayang Khan shook his head slightly helplessly, and said and laughed with several tribal leaders beside him, at this time, from the direction of the sweat tent, a team of people galloped over, and soon came to the hunting place, looking at these hurried and eager figures, quickly coming in the direction of Da Yang, Tayang Khan's eyes couldn't help but freeze slightly......
