Chapter 187 Funiu Mountains
There are steps on three sides of the central campus of Jianzhang Palace. The steps range from 37 to 69. Above the steps is the palace viewing area. Except for the officials under the command of Shanglinyuan and General Huben on duty, outsiders are good at stepping on the steps.
Those who do so will be deemed as illegal.
Normally, it would be illegal for Liu Cang to bring the hunting forest guards into Pingtan Optimism. Fortunately, Liu Cang's training intentions were clear, and the palace guards in Shanglin Garden were not willing to provoke Liu Cang for such a trivial matter.
Although the palace guarding in the Han Dynasty was not as strict as that of later generations, it was still a palace of the royal family. Even Liu Cang could not place the Shou Linwei to live in Jianzhang Palace.
They didn't even return to the military camp when they couldn't even be picked up at Imperial Palace. Instead, they were arranged by Liu Cang in the guard dormitory outside Jianzhang Palace.
Liu Cang gave the order, and the hunting forest guards gathered together in a short time, carrying dried meat and military rations with them. Five hundred eunuchs were still accompanying them in carts. They also checked in a lot of baggage for this hunt.
That's right, baggage, Liu Cang is going to hunt deer. Shanglinyuan is too big, and the location where the deer are concentrated is a bit far away. It is equivalent to walking from Luoyang to the foot of the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain. It will take a day for the infantry to rush. This hunting task is huge.
It's so big that some baggage must be taken along with it.
Three hundred and twenty hunting forest guards plus forty accompanying officials, the rest stayed with Bian Ji to guard Jianzhang Palace.
Everyone in the Karin Guards has a wolverine hanging on their shoulders. Now there are only four hundred wolverines left in Jianzhang Palace, and the other wolverines have been sent to the military camps.
The Flying Bear Camp originally conceived by Liu Cang failed, and the Luyuan Flying Bear Camp is still in the process of reorganization.
However, with the two thousand troops stationed in the military camp, Liu Cang has enough manpower in Shanglin Garden. Now these wolverines no longer need to be dragged around the world on trailers like cargo, and it will not affect one of these soldiers to carry one
The march is on its way.
Liu Cang led the team, and Mu Qi seemed to like to get together with Liu Cang. Usually it was a team of eunuchs led by someone, and he personally led the team with Liu Cang.
Leaving Jianzhang Palace and heading to the military camp, two thousand soldiers came out of the camp and prepared a large number of ropes and rope nets. They also brought along the baggage wolverines, led five hundred slave soldiers, and a battalion of soldiers headed west to Funiu
Go in the direction of the mountains.
When encountering villages along the way, ask if they are being disturbed by wild wolves. If there is news of wolves nearby, Liu Cang, Dian Wei, the forest guards and the badgers will search and kill them.
The area near Jianzhang Palace was the main place where the emperor and his ministers went on hunting trips. The wild deer and sheep here were not usually hunted, so the emperor had to drive wild animals here before going hunting.
Because of this, the area nearby also falls within the range of killing ferocious beasts.
If there were no special requirements, Liu Cang, the Shanglinyuan Order, would also have the responsibility to prevent ferocious beasts from appearing in front of Liu Hong during the emperor's hunting trip.
While walking and walking, Liu Cang led the hunting forest guards to search for wolves. Most of the troops stopped and stayed behind. Sometimes Liu Cang would catch up with tiger and bear beasts for a while.
The Sarin Guards and his entourage were in a lot of embarrassment. Because Liu Cang caught the Sarin Guards and commanded them with great force, the Sarin Guards who took the limelight during the selection of troops would inevitably attract jokes among the troops.
However, when the garrison soldiers discovered that the Karin Guards seemed to have endless amounts of dried meat, they were somewhat unable to laugh.
There is also meat in the food for the troops, but it is mostly minced meat mixed with wild vegetables and grains, which is already considered a relatively high-quality food among the general army.
The dry food for the march was mostly fried noodles. Unlike these hunting forest guards, since they hunted bears and leopards, they stuffed dried meat into their mouths whenever they had nothing to do.
The garrison soldiers had a bad premonition in their hearts. Sure enough, when they settled down to cook dinner, these guys started to barbecue. Fried noodles were served with barbecue, and they were forced to eat fruits.
The garrison soldiers were all dissatisfied with the Karin Guards who had greasy mouths and miserable faces, but they could only make fried noodles mixed with some minced meat.
There is nothing you can do if you don't feel angry. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these Karin Guards are completely different from before.
Two or three people can carry a giant bear and trot over the mountain. The strength that can knock over a bear beast with one hammer obviously does not come out of thin air.
During this hunt, the Forest Guards were not equipped with swords or guns. They were equipped with longbows, arm shields, and war hammers hanging on their waists. Nearly a month of training made them significantly different from the original garrison troops.
The garrison troops had already vaguely realized that Liu Cang's orders to them were just to incorporate Dadu into hunting.
The one-day journey took three days, and hundreds of wild wolves were killed along the way. Once the prey was loaded into a cart, the eunuchs would take it back to Jianzhang Palace, where it would be unloaded at the Jianzhang School Ground and someone would naturally handle it, and then they would return again to catch up with Liu.
Cang Yi Xing.
The Funiu Mountains stretch from north to south and are about 400 kilometers long, with water systems flowing through the Han River and the Huaihe River. The mountain range is connected to Xiong'er Mountain and Waifang Mountain from the east to the west. The Shanglinyuan range is between the three mountains, with lush vegetation and fertile plains.

Near the foothills, you can see dense forests as far as the eye can see, with the dark green color of evergreens all year round and the silence of fallen leaves and yellowing.
Looking at the mountains, the mountains are high and majestic, with many mountains and cliffs in the far reaches, and strange peaks protruding from the high places.
Because it falls within the scope of Shanglin Garden, and most of the common people's villages gather in the eastern part of Shanglin Garden, the march here is already inaccessible.
From time to time, you can see small animals escaping in the vast snow, and flying bears and large groups of wolverines are running around and having fun in the snowy landscape like a snowfield.
"Huh? Elephant feet?" Putting his horse in front, Liu Cang saw a set of footprints spreading into the distance. The footprints were quite large. Liu Cang asked softly.
"Yes, sir, the elephant herds will migrate south when the weather is cold, and they will probably come back here in April or May next year." A hunter wearing a fur coat said beside Liu Cang.
This Orion was quite familiar with the nearby terrain and had found the way from the village. At this time, the Orion looked around from time to time with a heavy vigilance in his eyes.
"Sir, this place is not peaceful in winter. We are not afraid of wolves. However, because there are usually few people, tigers and leopards in the mountains will occasionally go down to hunt. If you are not prepared to collide with them, you will inevitably be in danger." Orion said to Liu Cang.
.
"Don't worry, we still have early warning here." Liu Cang chuckled, whistled in his mouth, and heard the cry of eagles from the mountains.
Gold. The ominous horse Jin Xiu swooped down. When Liu Cang raised his arms, Jin Xiu stood up and made a clear sound.
The golden withers fell, and the hunter was startled. He looked up and saw several birds circling in the sky.
I saw Dian Wei, Pan Feng and others raising their arms one after another, and falcons swooped down, but five large falcons landed on the arms of several people one after another.
"Gyrfalcon?" There were five falcons in one, and the hunter's eyes were full of amazement, and this so-called gyrfalcon was what later generations called Haidongqing.
"Haha, don't worry. These wither falcons have been trained. If there are tigers, leopards, bears or beasts, they will warn them in advance." Liu Cang said with a smile. The hunter nodded and seemed to relax a little.
The Dianwei people all fed strips of meat to the falcons. With the help of gold, the gyrfalcons had been with them for a long time and had accepted their commands, and were much more obedient than tigers and bears.
Liu Cang, on the other hand, was more straightforward. He pointed at a carriage carrying prey behind him. Jin Zi suddenly flew over with his wings flashing, grabbed a wolf corpse and flew up.
"Peng!" The wolf corpse was thrown on the snow, gold whistled softly, five sea turtles suddenly flapped their wings and flew over, and a group of wither falcons pecked the wolf corpse into a lake of flesh and blood.
"Pan Feng! Take Qin Hunter to hunt for deer. If you encounter a unicorn, catch it alive for me." Liu Cang said to Pan Feng regardless of the evil behavior of Jin Zi's group.
"Here!" Pan Feng responded, and two more level three wolverines approached Pan Feng with two to three hundred wolverines.
"Dian Wei, let's go, let's go into the mountain." Pan Feng was getting ready. Liu Cang dismounted and called Dian Wei up, accompanied by the forest guards and hundreds of slave soldiers.
