Chapter 136: Sending Troops (I)

The light of the sun reflected on the plain for thousands of miles, and below were three hundred cavalry, galloping across the field.

An eagle hovers in the sky, flying fast, high and low, and at incredible speed.

Its vigorous posture is really like the king of the air, majestic and terrifying, and it looks so uncomfortable!

White clouds fluttered around it, bursts of eagle chirping, loud and crisp.

"Woo ......", at this time, a strange whistle sounded on the ground, as if the person holding the paper kite suddenly retracted the line, the king of heaven bowed his noble head, swooped down, and obediently folded his wings in the hands of the eagle keeper.

"This is the falcon that your master wants to offer to Ben Shuai?", the cavalry stopped, and a burly man in the middle handed the reins of his horse to the attendant beside him, and walked over to see the well-behaved falcon in the man's hand, with a faint expression on his face, and could not tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with the gift.

The falconer said respectfully: "Back to the big handsome, the little master knows that the big handsome you like hunting, but there has been a lack of a falcon around you, so I found this eagle from the deep mountains, and I trained it to relieve your boredom."

"Is this caught in the mountains again?"

"Sir, this eagle is a young eagle caught from the deep mountains. Seeing Guo Wentong's eyes fall on the falcon, he hurriedly explained: "Don't look at it as vicious, in fact, it has been trained to be wild, the most important thing is to listen to huā, you only need to raise it for a while, and you can drive it freely." Hearing this, Guo Wentong frowned.

The sharp gaze turned up and down on the seemingly mighty eagle, and after a while, he said: "Say, let it fly up again, Ben Shuai wants to see if it is worthy of letting Ben Shuai raise it!"

The falcon keeper was overjoyed, shook his hand, and at the same time gave the command: "After the falcon received the order, it spread its wings again and flew high into the sky."

Guo Wentong stood on the ground, looking up at this scene, a hint of mockery flashed in his slightly hanging eyes: "Zhang Cheng, take Ben Shuai's bow and arrow." ”

One of the guards next to him listened to the command, hurriedly walked a few steps, and handed over a large carved bow in his hand.

This big bow looks very imposing, in fact, it is indeed a good bow, "made of the best materials, if you can't reach the strength of 300 pounds of arms, you can't pull it at all."

In Guo Wentong's hands, it didn't take much effort to tear it away.

Draw the bow "Shoot the arrow, aim!"

Snap!

With a crisp sound, the flying falcon in the sky fell directly, plopped down, and fell to the ground.

A soldier ran up and lifted the eagle up, and "the crowd saw it," and an arrow was piercing the eagle's neck.

"The handsome man deserves to be a marksman!" immediately an attendant applauded.

A civil official standing next to Guo Wentong "even stroked his short beard, smiled and nodded."

Guo Wentong laughed, threw the bow to the attendant, and walked up to the eagle keeper.

"Your eagle is just a vain appearance, and you can't even dodge an arrow from your own handsome, what kind of good eagle is you?"

The eagle keeper's face was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. I was afraid that Guo Wentong's interest would not decrease, and even he would be used as a target to shoot.

Originally, I wanted to say that when I saw the other party's appearance, Guo Wentong was lazy to pay attention to it.

"The lord is really a good archery!" At this time, the short-bearded white-faced civil official came over and said with admiration in his mouth.

Guo Wentong asked the attendant to bring his mount over and patted the horse's head: "This is nothing, which military general is from a background and can't make a few moves?" I want Ben Shuai to say, Huaiyuan, you are not in good health, go out hunting more, run horses, and have no losses." ”

"The minister's body is still suffering, but it's nothing to run a horse, if he loses his mind because of a plaything, and delays the affairs of the lord, then the minister will apologize with death. "You, such a Chang Huaiyuan, you are scolding me around the corner!", Guo Wentong shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ben Shuai will hunt a few more game, and he will go back immediately." ”

Hearing Guo Wentong say this, Chang Huaiyuan smiled and stopped talking.

"I'm afraid there won't be any prey here, so let's go over there. Guo Wentong looked around and said.

"And give him some silver, that eagle, even if the commander bought it. Don't let people say that this handsome is unreasonable. Without looking at the eagle keeper who was already frightened and pale, Guo Wentong turned over and got on the horse.

"Such an eagle, dare to use it to fool my handsome? Do you still want it in your head? Do you still want to die? Give you this silver, and leave immediately!", threw a piece of silver on the ground, and the guard scolded.

"Lord, isn't that falcon bad?" Chang Huaiyuan, the strategist who came out to hunt with Guo Wentong, also got on his horse and followed, he couldn't help but look back, turned his head and asked.

"The eagle is indeed good, but it's a pity that it was raised by others. Guo Wentong rode on the horse and said disdainfully: "The real falcon should be longer than the sky, what kind of wildness can be raised in the hands of such a woman-like person? If the eagle is not wild, how can it be worthy of the name of the king of the sky?"

"I see, the minister has been taught. Chang Huaiyuan said with a smile: "The lord's mind and ambition can be seen only from this eagle's words." ”

His equestrian skills are good, and it is not expensive to walk almost side by side with Guo Wentong, but he does not ask for it, it seems to be walking side by side, but he has to make a mistake after a little bit.

"You guy, you're fooling Ben Shuai with these words again. Guo Wentong chuckled, but there was a hint of expression on his face, obviously, Chang Huaiyuan's words made him think so.

"Huh?" suddenly an animal ran through the grass in front of me. Guo Wentong strangled his mount violently, pulled the bow, set up the arrow, and shot the arrow, the whole process was done in one go!

A pheasant that ran ahead was shot squarely.

"I haven't eaten this rabbit meat for a long time, and it happened that I came out today and shot seven or eight in a row. Guo Wentong said this, but he was really not satisfied with the results of today's hunt: "Huaiyuan, you will divide this rabbit meat in a while, and you can leave one for Ben Shuai." ”

"Yes, my lord. Chang Huaiyuan said with a smile.

In fact, there is no need for Chang Huaiyuan to do it at all, someone has already done it.

There are 300 attendants and guards who followed Guo Wentong out to hunt, and it is said that everyone has a share, but it is just a few personal generals, and Chang Huaiyuan has a share.

After taking a fat pheasant that was given to him, Chang Huaiyuan smiled: "Today is the blessing of the lord, so that there is such wild meat to eat." If you let the minister catch it himself, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch one in ten days. "This may not be, you literati can kill people with your pen, you can kill people with your mouth, a few pheasants, can you still stump a resourceful person?" Guo Wentong said, which made Chang Huaiyuan's heart sink.

Jia Shuai is good at everything, but he is a little too heroic and not close to the literati, thinking of this, he can't help but sigh.

After being busy for a while, no other prey appeared, Guo Wentong's interest was greatly reduced, and he returned home.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, the butler ran over and waited for orders.

Guo Wentong threw the prey to the housekeeper: "According to the method last time, give Ben Shuai a good nap, and Ben Shuai will have wine for dinner." ”

"Rest assured, the little one has snooze on the stove. "The butler is holding the fat pheasant and is going down.

"By the way, master, there is a matter that I want to report to you. Just about half an hour ago, Lord Qin came to the mansion, saying that he had something to ask to see you, and knew that you were not leaving. The housekeeper suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said respectfully to Guo Wentong.

"Qin Yi?", this person is Guo Wentong's confidant, a few days ago, he was just sent out to run errands, and he must have come back in order.

Guo Wentong thought for a moment and said, "If he comes again, he will take him directly to see Ben Shuai." ”

"Yes, master. The butler replied and withdrew.

Before dark, Qin Yi really came again and was taken directly to the small huā hall where Guo Wentong was.

"Chen Qinyi, I have seen the lord. As soon as he entered the small huā hall, Qin Yi immediately saluted Guo Wentong.

is different from the weakness of civil officials and the bravery of military generals, this person's temperament tends to be capable.

Guo Wentong sat on the main seat, holding a white jade cup in his hand, and was sipping tea with a calm expression, seeing him bowing down, this party said lightly: "Get up, you came to find Ben Shuai this time, but the matter has a result?", "Lord, the minister has investigated clearly, and I have come to report to you." Qin Yi straightened up, lowered his head a little, and said towards it.

Guo Wentong took a small sip of tea slowly and methodically, and put the cup aside: "Then let's talk about it." ”

Guo Wentong, like others with the same status as him, has many wives and concubines in his family, and there are even more slaves, but he has always done things in a very measured manner, and when he is doing his right thing, he will never allow irrelevant people to interfere.

Qin Yi didn't have to worry about being overheard by outsiders about the conversation between them, and when asked by Guo Wentong, he directly told him what he had discovered.

"Lord, after you gave the minister the task a few days ago, the minister immediately took people and rushed to Shu overnight, but fortunately Wang Hongyi stayed for a few days, and the court envoy did not return for a long time. ”

"The minister found an opportunity to contact the imperial envoy and bribed one of the accompanying attendants from him. In China, the minister learned that the imperial court sent an envoy to Shu this time, in order to canonize Hongyi, the prince of Shu, as the king of Qin, and rewarded the map of Guanzhong. ”

"What?", Guo Wentong heard this, stood up suddenly, but instantly knew that he had lost his temper, raised his face, smiled a little self-defeatingly, and asked: "What about next? Wang Hongyi can accept the order?", "No, it was verified that Wang Hongyi refused the title of King of Qin, but accepted the map of Guanzhong, rewarded the envoy, and drove them out of Shudi. "Are you saying that Wang Hongyi rejected the title of King of Qin given to him by the imperial court, and only accepted the map of Guanzhong?" Guo Wentong heard this, and his face changed: "Is this matter serious?", "From the envoy team, the news I got is this. Qin Yi replied.

Guo Wentong was a little uneasy, and said instructed: "Qin Yi, this matter is not trivial, there is no room for negligence, but the information I heard from the envoy of the imperial court is not enough to make people believe it, you will send someone to Shu and the imperial court to investigate, and then report to Ben Shuai after finding the exact news." "Yes, my lord. Qin Yi responded respectfully, saluted Guo Wen again, and retreated. Only Guo Wentong was left to sit on the back of the chair with a solemn face, thinking about things. !~!
