The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 128
Huma's name is Dawan, with sharp edges and thin bones.

Bamboo batches have sharp ears, and the wind is light on the four hoofs.

There is no emptiness in the direction, which is really worthy of life and death.

Xiaoteng has such a thing, and thousands of miles can run rampant.

——"Fang Bing Cao Huma Poem" Du Fu

……

The second day of the military parade caught up with the ten-day rest, and the martial arts practitioners who had worked hard for several days slept until three strokes in the morning before recovering from fatigue.After washing up, they left the camp in twos and threes.Go shopping, listen to music in restaurants, drink tea in teahouses, and enjoy this rare holiday.

Yang Yichan didn't sleep well, and woke up early at dawn.According to the usual practice, she would go back to the Bashu Guild Hall first, and after meeting Bai Fu, they would go to the polo shop in Dongshi together to check the training of the horses.

But today, for some reason, Yang Yichan was reluctant to leave. After dawdling for a long time, when it was almost noon, she walked out of the camp involuntarily.

Arriving at the Bashu Guild Hall, Yang Yichan lingered at the door for a long time before stepping into the inn.Several acquaintances greeted Yichan, and pointed to the kitchen of the restaurant mysteriously.

Yichan approached the stove, and saw two people busy with their work, frying, stewing and cooking.When Huang Zhen saw Yichan, he smiled and said, "Miss Yang, you're back!"

The other person raised his head upon hearing the sound, a bright smile appeared on Smokey's face, and his teeth looked even brighter and whiter—it was actually Bai Fu!
Huang Zhen said to Yang Yichan: "Miss Yang, your military camp is full of big pots and stoves, and there is not much oil and water. When you get home, you should make up for it. Today's meal is a blessing for you. Brother Fu learned from me." Two days of food, I just want to show you something today!" After saying that, he winked at Bai Fu.

Bai Fu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen's specialty dishes are too difficult, I won't be able to learn them for a while, so I learned a few simple home-cooked dishes first, try them and see if they suit your taste?"

Yang Yichan looked at Bai Fu, who was dressed as a chef, and felt uncomfortable.I don't know whether to be moved or angry at this moment, there is nowhere to put my emotions.She forced a smile and sat down in a quiet place.

Bai Fu brought up the dishes he cooked himself one by one.Four dishes and one soup, exquisite and delicious: a small jar of kimchi, dry-stir-fried green beans, mapo tofu, double-cooked pork with big knife, and steamed crucian carp soup.Especially crucian carp soup, the soup is as white as milk and full of fragrance.

Bai Fu smiled and said, "Sister Yang, today is the day when we fell into the Nether Valley. If you count the three years at the bottom, it will be the fourth anniversary of our acquaintance."

After finishing speaking, he took out a small jug of Gaochang wine from the wine cabinet, placed two plum flower cups, and poured the wine into the cup.Under the reflection of the snow-white porcelain wall, the rose-red wine is particularly blurred and intoxicating.

A piece of paper was pasted on the jug, which wrote the famous "Liangzhou Ci" written by Wang Han, the governor of Ruzhou: "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately call it. Drunk lying on the battlefield, Lord Mo Xiao, how many people have fought in ancient times?" ?”

Yang Yichan recited softly, as if seeing a hero getting twilight, a beauty with a white head, sipping the sip, and feeling drunk before drinking.

When Bai Fu saw Yang Yichan tasting poems, he said with a smile: "Two days ago, I learned about Wang Han's allusion after listening to the gentlemen's lectures in the Hongwen Museum. He compares himself to a prince. He refers to his peers, and many people are jealous of him. He has been unhappy in his official career all his life because of his character. But this character has made his poems, which are full of emotion, fluent and fluent, and are loved by everyone. Bachelor Du Hua, his mother, Cui Shi, said: "I heard that Meng's mother moved three times. I want to live now, so that you and Wang Han can be neighbors, which is enough!" It can be seen that Wang Han was only named at that time."

Bai Fu talked lively, but Yang Yichan was restless, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, she said little, and the meal was tasteless.

Seeing that Yang Yichan was absent-minded, Bai Fu thought to himself: "I heard that the military examiners practiced in the military parade yesterday, so I guess Yangmei is tired. It's hard work here, no worse than Qingcheng. I have to be more considerate and take good care of Yangmei."

Bai Fu thought about it, and said: "Sister Yang, let's go to practice polo after dinner. I have nothing to do these days, and I have figured out some horse riding skills. Racing horses don't need to be trained for so long, and you can command them well. Man and horse unite."

Only then did Yang Yichan become interested, Daqi said: "Really? How to operate it?"

……

It turned out that after returning from the polo field that day, Bai Fu asked Taifu Xu for advice on the art of horse riding.Master Xu smiled and said, "Fu'er, I don't know martial arts, why would you ask me about horse riding skills?"

Bai Fudao: "Uncle Tang San told me that Uncle Xu has a famous saying: 'If you don't know what to do, look for a book!' I thought that there must be a way to control a horse in the book, so I came to ask Uncle Xu."

After Xu Taifu heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "You will be lazy, instead of reading the book, you will ask me instead. Well, let me just talk on paper. Whether it is useful or not depends on your own practice and pondering.

Horses, like humans, are noble and proud animals, sensitive and delicate.It can neither be pampered nor exhausted.The more powerful the horse, the more individual it is, and the more difficult it is to control.However, once the good horse is tamed, it will serve the master for the rest of its life, and it will be loyal.This point is much better than human beings, and it is never said that one will repay one's revenge without kindness. " Xu Taifu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"In raising horses, one must do three things: breeding, training, and training.

Breeding is all about experience. Select good breeds for matching. When the horse has all four teeth, the horse must be castrated.In this way, the horse can be strong and strong, docile and non-wild, not invaded by cold and heat, and live a long life.

Horse training depends on the rider's horsemanship. If one can conquer it in terms of momentum and riding skills, mediocre talents cannot conquer the heart of a horse.

To train horses, one must first love the horse, respect and cherish it.Knowing only domineering, but no benevolence, whipping and reprimanding at every turn, and violence forcing the horse to obey, the horse's character will be too strong. At critical moments, panic when things happen, and it is easy to turn the owner into bad things.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to train first-class horses by force.To establish a relationship with the horse, after each training, you must personally wash and feed the horse, and establish a close relationship of flesh and blood.Do not treat the horse as a slave, but as a comrade in arms, a brother.

Then, gradually cultivate the confidence, courage and vigilance of the horses, and don't panic when they hear gold drums, and don't panic when they are killed.Only when you are calm in battle can you be of great use.

Your fourth uncle, Ma Muye, is a big horse in Liangzhou, who is rampant in the world, shaking Qiang Hu.You gave me a secret method of controlling a horse before, you can use it to study it carefully. "

Bai Fu was overjoyed.

In the next few days, Bai Fu repeatedly studied Ma Muye's unique secrets on horse riding.The core element of the secret method is to accurately understand the meridians of the horse, and then infuse the true energy into the horse to transform the meridians of the horse's flesh and blood, so that the horse becomes a part of the body's torso.In addition to this, it is possible to drive the horse to make various movements like an arm and a finger.

This is an untold secret that Ma Muye summed up the Qiang and Hu people's art of controlling horses for thousands of years, at the cost of the lives of hundreds of high-quality war horses.

……

Yang Yichan was very excited after hearing this, and shouted: "That's great! Brother, I'm full, why don't we go now."
