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 float 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 present to Ben Shuai?", the cavalry stopped, and a burly man in the middle gave the reins of the horse to his side, and walked over to look at the well-behaved falcon in the man's hand, with a faint expression on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this gift.

The falconer said respectfully: "Back to Dashuai's words, the owner of xiǎo knows that Dashuai likes hunting, but there has always been a lack of a falcon by his side, so he found this eagle from the deep mountains, and he 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 take in the wild xìng, the most important thing is to listen to huā, you just need to raise it for a while, and you can drive it by yourself." 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." ”

"No. One of the guards beside 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.

"Da Shuai is worthy of being a god shè hand!" immediately cheered from the side.

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

Guo Wentong laughed, threw the bow to the shì, and walked in front of 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'm afraid that Guo Wentong's interest will not decrease, and even he will be a target together.

Originally, he said that when he 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 shì to bring his mount over and patted the horse's head: "This is nothing, which military general is from a military background, and he won't be able to play a few hands?" ”

"The minister's body is still suffering, but it's nothing to run **, if he loses his mind because of the plaything, and delays the lord's affairs, 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 with a frightened face and a white face, Guo Wentong turned over and got on the horse.

"Such an eagle, dare to use it to paste nòng my handsome? Do you still want your head to think about it? Do you still want to die? Give you this silver, and leave immediately!", throwing a piece of silver on the ground, 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, in the hands of such a person, what wild xìng can be raised? If the eagle has no wild xìng, 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 ambitions and ambitions 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 are talking 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 the mount violently, pulled the bow, took the arrow, and took the arrow out, and the whole process was done in one go!

A wild jī that ran in front of him was shè squarely.

"I haven't eaten this rabbit for a long time, and it happened that I came out today, and there were seven or eight in a row. Guo Wentong said this, but he was not very satisfied with the results of today's hunt: "Huaiyuan, you will divide this rabbit 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 guards who followed Guo Wentong out to hunt, and it is said that everyone has a share, but it is a few personal generals, and Chang Huaiyuan has a share.

After taking a féi Shuoye jī 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 wild jī, can you still stump you as 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." ”

"Please rest assured, this command of xiǎo has given you a nap on the stove. "The housekeeper is holding the féi big wild jī and is going down.

"By the way, master, there is something that xiǎo wants 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 arrived again and was taken directly to the Xiǎohuā Hall where Guo Wentong was.

"Chen Qinyi, I have seen the lord. As soon as he entered the xiǎohuā 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 cup in his hand, and was sipping tea with a calm expression, seeing him bowing down, he said lightly: "Get up, you came to find Ben Shuai this time, but the matter has a result?" Qin Yi straightened up, lowered his head a little, and said towards it.

Guo Wentong drank a 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 a 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 entourages shì 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?" After hearing these words, Guo Wentong's 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 instructively: "Qin Yi, this matter is not extraordinary, and there is no room for negligence, but the information heard from the imperial envoy is not enough to make people believe that you will send someone to Shu and the imperial court to investigate, and then report to Ben Shuai after finding out the exact news." "Yes, my lord. Qin Yi responded respectfully, saluted Guo Wen again, and retreated. Only Guo Wentong was left sitting on the back of the chair with a solemn face, thinking about things.
