Chapter 12 Section 6 Conspiracy and Fortune Contest in Fengze Hunting Ground

The Fengze Hunting Ground is sunny and the wind is warm, which is a good time for hunting. On the banks of Fengze are rolling hills, especially Mangshan Dangshan in the north, facing each other in the distance, and the mountains and hills are connected in the middle, as if they were one body. People at that time collectively called it Mangdangshan.This piece of mountains, swamps, dense forests and vast expanse of reeds and grasses, among which there are many large grasslands with gentle ups and downs, is a place of good water and grass for all kinds of wild animals to live in, and it is also a good place for galloping and hunting.The reason why Mangdang Mountain has become a hunting resort in the Central Plains is that it has two extremely precious and fast-moving spiritual creatures, one is the elk and the other is the elk.The deer, later known as deer, looks like a deer but has no horns. It is not only good at running and jumping, but also can swim in water. It is a very exciting opponent for hunting masters.Elk, known at the time as Sibuxiang, has horns like a deer and not a deer, a head that looks like a horse but not a horse, a body that looks like a donkey and not a donkey, and hooves that look like a cow and not a cow.These four are not like docile psychics, if they can be captured and domesticated, they are really rare treasures of understanding.However, what attracts hunters even more is that the meat of Sibuxiang is a yang-replenishing fetish that is hard to find in the world.The "Fengze venison" mentioned by King Wei Hui at the League Ceremony is exactly this.

With a world-renowned hunting ground, how could such a grand event as the Alliance of Six Nations not have a large-scale hunt? King Wei Hui is a monarch who is very good at the way of pleasure, and he is also a master of large-scale hunting.His grandfather Wei Wenhou and his father Wei Wuhou had established a strong foundation. He spent his youth in a gorgeous court, neither leading troops to fight nor traveling on missions.Although it cannot be said that he is indulging in sensuality, he is actually soaked in wealth and luxury.Thirty years ago, when his father Wei Wuhou died of illness, if his younger brother, son Xu, hadn't conspired to usurp his succession power, he would never have worked hard to deal with son Xu's forces and finally eradicate them all.Since he came to the throne, he has always been proud of this battle for the throne, thinking that he is a natural genius, and he should unify the world.In the second year of his accession to the throne, he declared himself king, showing his great ambition to the world.The nations laughed at him for "successing the throne for eight years without accomplishing anything", and he laughed.In his opinion, the real king is the one who shows greatness, and the key point is a battle to determine the world, so why care about a little victory or defeat all day long?For such a grand plan as the division of Qin between the six kingdoms, if it weren't for him, King Wei, who would have gathered the six great powers?Once the big plan is determined, the implementation can be handed over to the prime minister and the generals. The king's demeanor lies in the sprinkling of wealth and honor so that the world can look up at it like a thousand-foot peak, and only then can it shock the world.Because of this, King Wei Hui attached great importance to the hunting of the Huimeng. Last night, he planned to sleep with his son Ang in the king's tent until the fourth watch.During this period, General Pang Juan met urgently and reported the delay in instigating Qin's rebellion by Zhao State and the continuous rain in Qin State.King Hui of Wei waved his hand, "General, we can discuss it tomorrow, and the hunt must be decided." Pang Juan was unhappy.He asked Pang Juan to sit down and make suggestions, but Pang Juan said: "I don't know how to hunt. I will leave." He knew that Pang Juan came from a poor family and really didn't understand large-scale hunting, so he didn't persuade him to stay.Afterwards, King Wei Hui and Young Master Ang pondered every detail of the hunt, and then yawned and went to the back tent, and jumped on the sleeping fox girl.

Waking up in the morning, the sky was clear and the sun was bright, King Wei Hui was in a particularly comfortable mood. At the order of the hunting commander, Young Master Ang, Wei's 3,000 iron cavalry and 7,000 infantry temporarily increased, a total of 10,000 people, divided into three sides and marched towards the Mangdang Mountain hunting ground.The mountains are all over the plains, the drums are shaking the sky, the flags are flying, and the scene is spectacular.Wei Hui Wang Rong armored, with a hard bow and long arrows on his back, set foot on the girder The king's chariot specially built by craftsmen for the hunting of the Six Kingdoms rumbled out.The bright sunlight and the top-quality jewels inlaid in the king's chariot complement each other, making Wei Hui Wang in the chariot as splendid and mighty as a god.Looking around at the grandeur of the wilderness, he felt that he was more imposing than King Zhou Mu's imaginative journey to the west.Behind his royal chariot is a small and exquisite bronze chariot owned by Fox Girl. Fox Lady wears a tight red dress inside and a priceless gold silk cloak with a red background on the outside, showing her charm under the golden copper chariot cover. Heroic demeanor.This is the meticulous masterpiece of Wei Huiwang.He didn't let Fox Ji ride in a caravan, but let her take a special cart.This kind of cart is a common vehicle in the world. It is light and strong, and there is a cover standing in the center of the compartment.If it is an official car, the height of the car cover depends on the level of the owner, with the highest being six feet and the lowest being three feet.Fox Ji's car hood is naturally the best six feet. Standing in the car is slim and graceful, with her skirts flaring out, she is more graceful than sitting in a covered caravan.Then in parallel are the chariot of the general Pang Juan and the gorgeous chariot of the hunting commander Gong Zixi.Only Pang Juan was stubborn. He personally drove a chariot with short soldiers around his waist and a bow and arrow on his back. He took off the gorgeous attire he wore during the alliance ceremony and put on a black cloak and battlefield armor.It is precisely this point that King Wei Hui can't help Pang Juan, and it is also this point that King Wei Hui vaguely dislikes Pang Juan, thinking that he sometimes disappoints himself inexplicably.According to his heart and nature, King Wei Hui didn't like this kind of rigid person who never left his mouth on state affairs all day long.There is a prime minister uncle Cuo and a general Pang Juan beside him. They are all such people, which makes Wei Huiwang often feel very uncomfortable.If Uncle Cuo and Pang Juan were not the pillars of Wei Guo, King Wei Hui might not want to see them at all.

The sound of rumbling vehicles, horseshoes, drums, footsteps, and the shouts of driving wild animals from all over the world are mixed and pervasive. The ears of ordinary people are blocked, and they can't help but speak loudly.King Hui Hui of Wei in the car had sharp eyes and ears, and kept looking around.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he pointed his long sword behind Gao Po, and ordered loudly, "Four different images! Quick!" The driver shook the reins, and the four horses spread their hooves, and the king's chariot rushed up the high slope.Among the green reeds at the foot of the slope, there are several animals driven out by the sergeants running and jumping.While the king's chariot was charging down the slope, King Wei Hui had already taken off his hard bow and put on a long arrow. Seeing that the speeding king's chariot was gradually approaching the Sibuxiang a hundred steps away, Wei Huiwang shot an arrow, and the leading Sibuxiang With a cry of grief, he fell and struggled in the reed grass!

"Long live the king of Wei!" The sergeants on the surrounding hills cheered together. Amidst the cheers, the king's chariot had already rushed over. King Wei Hui grabbed Che Shi with his left hand, leaned over in a motion like an osprey skimming the water, and scooped up the four elephants with arrows into the king's chariot. "Long live! Long live! Long live the king of Wei!" There was another burst of cheers and jumps all over the mountains and plains. King Wei Hui laughed at the fox girl who had just arrived, "This four-faced elephant is rewarded to the fox!"

"Hu'er thanked my king." Hu Ji smiled beautifully and softly. Young Master Ang clasped his hands in admiration on the cart, "My king is worthy of a hunting ground master, and I admire you so much!" King Wei Hui laughed loudly, "It's a good omen to fight for the deer in the marsh, and the deer will die to me!" Pang Juan looked at the vast mountains to the north, and pointed to the faint red and blue flags, "Wei Wang, Zhao Hou is coming to surround you behind the mountain." King Wei Hui was very proud: "Okay! If you go over the mountain, you will meet Zhao Zhong."

The commander-in-chief of the hunt, Young Master Ang, ordered in a loud voice: "Move the hunting ground to the north, and join Zhao Guo!" The large group of people came rumbling to the north hill.Turning over the hill, I saw Zhao's three thousand cavalry galloping on the reedy hillside. They were chasing horses, and Zhao Chenghou also abandoned their carts for horses.If it weren't for the fluttering red and blue cloak and the "Zhao" flag that drifted with him, it would be really difficult to find his exact location in the huge hunting ground.King Wei Hui waved to Pang Juan, "Go, catch up with Zhao Zhong!" After saying that, he stomped his feet lightly, and the king's chariot swooped down the long hillside.Pang Juan flicked the reins, and the two chariots rumbled behind.

Putting up the awning, King Wei Hui saw Zhao Chenghou chasing a galloping deer on a flying horse, so he ordered loudly, "Come across and stop that deer!" However, King Wei Hui's chariot was still on Zhao Chenghou's horse. After about three arrows, if you want to jump forward obliquely, you must first catch up with Zhao Chenghou.The driver let out a long roar, and the four fiery red horses from the Western Regions neighed and galloped at the same time, and they turned out to be the white war horses that were approaching Zhao Chenghou. Zhao Chenghou has been through the battlefield for a long time and has a wide field of vision. He had seen King Wei Hui driving after the roe.If the roe was really intercepted and hunted by King Wei Hui, what would Zhao Guo face?He naturally knew that King Wei Hui's royal chariots and BMWs were all the best in the world, and ordinary war horses could not compete with them.But his white horse is very unusual. It was originally domesticated from wild horses in the Yinshan Grassland.He smiled coldly and gave a long whistle. Xiongjun's abnormal white horse neighed, stretched its hooves in the air, and almost flew up against the vast reed grass!Even so, Wei Huiwang's king's chariot has already caught up from three arrows away, the four horses are neighing, the wheels are rumbling, and the momentum is extraordinary.It was so close, Wang Che attempted to advance obliquely.Unexpectedly, the white horse was very agile, Zhao Chenghou lightly tapped his outer foot, and half of the white horse shot out like an arrow, blocking the way of the slanting thrust.In the hunting competition, King Wei Hui's chariot naturally couldn't hit Zhao Chenghou's horse.The driver of the king's chariot screamed, and the four horses galloped up bravely, trying to make a detour and lead at a faster speed.Once it exceeds, King Wei Hui, the deer who is three feet away, can be shot with an arrow.At the very moment, a small stream suddenly appeared in front of him. Wang's chariot and four horses did not avoid the stream, but rushed into the water.At this time, the white horse let out a long hiss, soared into the air, and flew across the stream.At the moment when the white horse fell, Zhao Chenghou also jumped from the horse and rushed towards the deer like a big bird, and hugged the flying deer alive!Zhao Chenghou raised the deer with both hands and laughed loudly, "Wei Wang, I have accepted it!"

King Hui of Wei also laughed, "Marquis Zhao deserves to be the deer. Congratulations." At this time, Pang Juan's chariot had already caught up, and he bowed his hands to Zhao Hou and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Zhao Hou on his success." Zhao Chenghou mentioned the deer and said with a smile: "General, let me make you a cushion." Just as he was about to throw it, he lowered his head and laughed, "I'm ashamed, ashamed, you made me die." After speaking, his hands suddenly moved forward As soon as he threw it, the deer flew towards Pang Juan.Pang Juan caught it with both hands, looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "There is no wound. It raced with a good horse and fought to death."

King Wei Hui and Zhao Chenghou laughed together.After laughing, Zhao Chenghou cupped his hands and said: "King Wei, my secret envoy has been dispatched and will arrive in Longxi in a few days. The army of Wei State should also be dispatched. If the leader does not move, other countries dare not compete." Pang Juan smiled and said, "Don't you think Marquis Zhao is too slow?" "No delay." Zhao Chenghou said with a smile: "It is raining in Guanzhong, which just gave me a period of time to instigate a rebellion. The soldiers and horses of the six countries should take this opportunity to gather immediately and move into their respective positions. Wei Guo and South Korea are in Hangu Pass The state of Chu is in Wuguan, the state of Zhao is in Lishi Fortress, and the state of Yan is in the west of Yunzhong. If the assembly is slow, once there is an incident in the west, they will be isolated and helpless, and the east will lose their chances."

King Wei Hui was very reluctant to talk about such things in the sunny hunting ground, and felt that it was a waste of good time.But it was inconvenient to speak directly, so he frowned and asked Pang Juan, "What do you mean by the general?" Pang Juan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I thought Marquis Zhao didn't have to think about the gathering of the army. Pang Juan will make you satisfied. It is enough for the State of Zhao to get things done in the west." "Okay, with the general's promise, Zhao Zhong'an is not at ease?" He turned his head and smiled again: "Wei Wang, is it fair for Qi to share a piece of the pie if he doesn't send troops? Zhao Zhong thought that Qi would at least Take food, grass, weapons and some military pay." King Wei Hui nodded deeply, "That makes sense. Okay, let's talk to King Qi." He pointed to the purple flag behind the mountain in the east, "There, let's go!" With a stamp of his foot, the king's chariot slid out of the grass smoothly.Zhao Chenghou flew on his horse, Pang Juan urged the chariot, and they all came towards the east mountain.Turning over the hillside, you can see the undulating and vast reeds, and the curled purple flags are flying in all directions, obviously chasing deer from all sides.The two teams galloped lightly, which was more like a battlefield drill.The young and handsome King Qi Wei personally drove a chariot to hunt down his prey.Looking at the situation, he had obviously spotted Zhao Chenghou, the King of Wei Hui, so he came to meet him in a chariot, and the soldiers of Qi State also gathered around. King Wei of Qi cupped his hands in the distance, "King Wei, Marquis Zhao, and Tian Yinqi are very polite." King Wei Hui and Zhao Chenghou bowed their hands at the same time, "King Qi has a lot of prey, which is gratifying." King Qi Wei smiled and said: "Wei Wang Zhaohou, would you like to get out of the car for a while and have a taste of Qi wine?" "It's just what I want, the king of Qi is a man! Zhaohou, come on." King Wei Hui laughed and jumped off the king's chariot. Zhao Chenghou also stroking his beard and laughing, "Zhao Zhongjiu is destined to hide wine?" Then he got off his horse. Sergeant Qi had already laid a huge white sheepskin felt on the grass, and lifted three mahogany wine barrels from a car.An iron frame was also set up on the grass beside the felt, and the soldiers of Qi State neatly butchered a Sibuxiang, hung it on the iron frame and roasted it.King Qi Wei solemnly invited Pang Juan, Gongzi Ang and Hu Ji to be seated, and the six began to drink and chat enthusiastically. King Hui of Wei turned the simple pottery bowl for wine in his hand and said with a smile, "Qi is a great country, how simple is this?" King Qi Wei laughed loudly, "Wei Wang won the award, why would Tian Yinqi dare to be simple? King Wei wants to say that I am poor." Everyone laughed together.Zhao Chenghou said: "Where did you come from? It's better than me, Zhao Zhong." He took off the leather wine bag at his waist and shook it: "There is only one veteran." In the midst of everyone's laughter, King Wei Hui coughed and said, "King Qi, the six kingdoms are divided into Qin, and Qi has a share. If you don't send troops, can you send some goods, food and grass?" King Qi Wei murmured: "But I wonder how much the leader wants the Qi State to bear?" "One hundred thousand dendrobium for the army, fifty thousand dan of horse grass, fifty thousand sets of armor and weapons, plus ten thousand gold." King Wei of Qi pondered for a while, "King Wei, I will provide food, grass and weapons. The state of Qi cannot afford the amount of ten thousand gold." King Wei Hui was very surprised, "I can't afford even ten thousand gold? Where is the wealth of Qi?" Seeing King Wei Hui's surprise, King Qi Wei couldn't help laughing, "There is nowhere to use state-owned goods? Rewarding land reclamation, updating weapons, opening schools, rewarding soldiers, where is money not used? Tian Yinqi has grain, grass and weapons. Some, money, but very tight." King Wei Hui opened his eyes wide and shook his head in an unbelievable manner, "Why does King Qi prevaricate? In a country that has been around for hundreds of years, any national treasure is priceless. How can we be so tight?" "National treasure? I wonder what King Wei is referring to?" King Wei Hui laughed loudly: "That's right, there are still many treasures in the Kingdom of Qi. How does this king know what you have?" King Qi Wei shook his head and smiled, "I'm very ashamed, Tian Yinqi doesn't know what national treasure King Wei is referring to?" King Hui of Wei suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The world's wealth gathers in the royal family. The world is richer than the king. The king is rich and the country is rich, and the king has treasures and the world is safe. This royal treasure is the national treasure, and the national treasure is the national power. Now Wei Qi It is also known as the kingdom, and Tian Qi is an old and powerful country after Jiang Qi. Your Tian family was the richest man in Jiang Qi's public affairs a hundred years ago. The country is old and rich, how can Qi not have a national treasure?" "National treasures are national strengths? What does King Wei mean, whoever has more national treasures will have stronger national strength?" King Hui of Wei smiled quite reservedly and said, "It has been the case since ancient times to make a country strong with many treasures." King Qi Wei shook his head: "There is no such national treasure in Qi." King Wei Hui sighed, "No matter what King Qi said is true or not, I will let you see my national treasure. Come and see." He pointed to the glamorous king's chariot, "My great Wei Although the country has only been established for a hundred years, it has the treasure of the country, ten night-bright pearls! Do you know this kind of big jewel? Each one is one inch in diameter, and its light can illuminate twelve chariots at night. If one hundred and twenty It is like a colorful dragon! You see, my royal chariot is inlaid with two orbs, which makes this chariot worthless, surpassing Chu State and Shibi!" The voice fell, and the surrounding people The soldiers of Wei Guo cheered. King Hui of Wei smiled contemptuously and said, "The state of Qi was once the richest country in the world. Is it so pitiful that there is no national treasure?" King Qi Wei still smiled, "Leader, my national treasure is different." Wei Huiwang was stunned: "Oh? There is still, please explain it in detail!" King Wei of Qi smiled and said: "Tian Yinqi thought that national treasures are the talents of the country. Tian Yinqi is not talented. He has been looking for this kind of national treasure for several years, and he built Jixia Academy to gather famous people from all over the world. Only then can he find it I got a few talents who can be called the treasures of the town. In the current state of Qi, there is a general Tanzi guarding the south, and the twelve small countries in the south are aligned and professing their vassals. The people of Zhao State no longer dare to go fishing in the waters of Qi State at will, and instead repaired with me. Zhaohou, right? There is a capable minister Qianfu guarding Tengcheng in the north, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The 7,000 households of Yan State moved to Qi State. The population increased by 100,000. In the capital of Linzi, there was Zhongshou as the commander of the bandits, and the thieves in the Qi State disappeared, and the houses were not closed at night. In addition, we also have Tian Ji, a famous general in the Qi State, who guards the Quartet—General Tian has met the King of Wei." Standing beside the outer chariot was a general, it was Qi State General Tian Ji who rushed to Fengze yesterday.He stepped forward and cupped his hands in salute: "Tian Ji pays homage to King Wei. King Wei is healthy." King Wei Hui looked embarrassed, but he had to nod his head. King Qi Wei expressed his feelings straightly, "The most precious treasure of the state of Qi shines for thousands of miles. It not only illuminates twelve military chariots. This king believes that the goods should be handed over to merchants in exchange for food and weapons to enrich the national power. Jewels are hidden in the royal family, but they are in vain. Hui, what is the value? A pearl on Wei Wang's head is priceless, but if it is on top of the crown, what good is it to the country? The country, but it is tied to one body, what is the benefit to the country? What is the benefit to the common people?" Those words made the three sides of Qi, Wei and Zhao go silent in awe.Suddenly, the soldiers of Qi State cheered and jumped up, "Long live!" The sound shook the whole field.King Wei Hui looked embarrassed, the young master was at a loss, and Pang Juan bowed his head silently. Suddenly, horseshoes rained like rain, and two riders flew over. Before the sound of "report" fell, the two had bowed down in front of King Wei. "What's the panic?" Wei Huiwang's voice was harsh for no reason. The cavalry general reported loudly: "Report to the king, the uncle and the prime minister are critically ill, please return to the palace to explain the important matter." King Wei Hui was quite impatient, "I'm in bed for a long time, what's the big deal?" King Wei of Qi bowed his hands solemnly, "The Kingdom of Wei is busy with affairs, and the alliance has come to an end, so Tian Yinqi bid farewell." Suddenly, King Wei Hui felt that he should speak first, so why did you speak first?His face sank, but he didn't pay attention to King Qi Wei, and turned around with big strides, "Go back to the palace!" He jumped on the king's chariot and rumbled away. Zhao Chenghou laughed loudly, "I don't want Qi Wang's Qibing to stand out, so please, please!" "Three armies can win a commander, but an ordinary man can't lose his ambition. Isn't it the same for Marquis Zhao?" The two laughed at the same time, said goodbye to each other, and parted ways.Under the bright sunshine, the vast reeds and grass are like golden waves, concealing the distant flag chariots, and the long horns sweeping away thousands of cavalry.Fengze hunting ground was silent.
