Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 621 Hunting Talk
The polo match was over soon.

Relying on the speed of running Lei Ma, Qin Huaiyu and the others were quickly defeated.

After losing the polo, Cheng Chumo and the others were very angry and felt ashamed, and Cheng Yaojin's face was not very good-looking.

Qin Tian, ​​on the other hand, didn't take it seriously. When they came back, he smiled and said, "You fought well, so don't worry about it. On the battlefield, winning or losing is a common thing."

There is really no need to pay too much attention to this matter.

The polo competition was still going on, and at almost noon, the winner was decided.

Li Shimin couldn't help but praise him, and after a brief lunch, everyone dispersed and went hunting.

The royal ranch expanded, and there was an additional mountain forest. There were a lot of prey in the hinterland of the mountain forest. Everyone just scattered to hunt like this, but there was not much entanglement. Qin Tian originally wanted to go hunting with Cheng Yaojin and the others, but before leaving , but was called by Li Shimin.

The two monarchs and ministers entered the mountain forest with a few relatives, but the other ministers did not follow.

However, although it was hunting, at the beginning, Li Shimin didn't seem to have any intention of hunting. He just rode his horse and walked slowly without even taking out his bow and arrow.

"Qin Aiqing, what do you think of the polo competition this morning?"

"Very wonderful."

"Besides being wonderful?"

Qin Tian glanced at Li Shimin, and then said: "Su Lin and his horses are very fast."

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, that is the fastest horse I have ever seen. If I have such a horse in Tang Dynasty, I can form an invincible cavalry. It will be more beneficial to conquer the Turks at that time."

Being an enemy of the Turks is not just as simple as defending the city. They want to approach the Turks and hit the grasslands of the Turks.

But on the prairie, the infantry did not have an advantage at all. If you want to defeat the Turks, you must have cavalry. Datang also has cavalry, about 2 people. This cavalry is too small for Datang.

The reason for this is that there is no good horse, and the price of the horse is too expensive, which is another reason.

The imperial court could not afford so many horses, nor could they afford them.

Datang, the cavalry is not good, and there is no better way to deal with the cavalry.

Li Shimin's meaning is already very clear, he wants to build a cavalry.

An invincible cavalry.

After Qin Tian heard Li Shimin's words, he was also deeply touched. If the cavalry is not good enough, it is impossible to destroy the Turks. Even if he has some methods to deal with the cavalry, it is by no means a perfect strategy.

The best way, of course, is to have a cavalry.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"I have already asked Su Dingfang, and he said that those Benlei horses were bought from merchants in the Western Regions, and they were horses from the Dawan Kingdom. If we can get these horses from the Dawan Kingdom, our Tang Dynasty can build cavalry. "

Hearing that it was a horse from the Dawan Kingdom, Qin Tian's expression was slightly condensed. Dawan Kingdom is rich in fine horses, but Dawan Kingdom is relatively close to the west among the countries in the Western Regions, and it is far away from their Tang Dynasty. Wan Guo's good horses are not easy.

In fact, even if it is not the Dawan country, even some countries that are close to the Silk Road, it is not easy to get these horses.

At present, Tang Dynasty did control the Silk Road, but it is impossible to say that the Silk Road is very safe. Soldiers and horses from Tuyuhun, Tubo and other countries can easily enter the Silk Road.

Even on the Silk Road, there were many bandits and bandits, but Datang only reserved [-] soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass.

It is not easy to obtain good horses from the countries of the Western Regions through the Silk Road.

If it is something else, there is no need to worry too much, but if it is a good horse, someone will definitely be tempted and have the ambition to annex these good horses.

"Your Majesty wants to send people to buy Benlei horses from Dawan?" Although Dawan is small, and the countries in the Western Regions often have disputes, they want to plunder the Benlei horses from Dawan through war. Saying it is unlikely.

Therefore, they can only buy, and as far as Qin Tian knows, Datang's household department is still very full, and it is not a big problem to buy a few hundred galloping horses.

However, after Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Shimin showed a look of hesitation, and immediately said something that Qin Tian couldn't believe.

"The Great Tang is poor!"

No emperor ever said that his country was poor, Qin Tian was speechless after hearing this, and immediately after that, he more or less understood what Li Shimin meant.

It is impossible for the imperial court to buy horses.

Obviously, Li Shimin wanted nothing but a white wolf, a horse, and no money.

Qin Tian didn't know what to say for a while, the scene was a little awkward, silent, silent, only the autumn wind passed by his ears.

Suddenly, a rabbit appeared in front of him, but Li Shimin had no intention to shoot it. Qin Tian took out his bow and arrow and shot at it without hesitation.

This scene happened in the blink of an eye, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized with a smile: "Qin Aiqing is good at arrows, good at arrows."

"Holy Majesty's praise."

Li Shimin chuckled: "Did we get there just now?"

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to get a good horse without paying any money."

"It's not easy, that's why I want to call you here to talk to you alone."

"This... I can't do anything about it." Qin Tian had an ominous premonition. He was rich, but he couldn't afford many high-quality BMWs. This horse is just like the cars of later generations. A good horse is a luxury car. No matter how rich you are, you can't buy a few cars.

Li Shimin's complexion changed slightly, and he said: "Qin Aiqing is a smart person, she will definitely be able to think of a way. After returning to the capital, you must come up with a way for me."

As she spoke, she suddenly said earnestly: "I believe in Qin Aiqing's ability."

After speaking, Li Shimin rode forward quickly, because there was a sika deer in front of him, Li Shimin shot an arrow, but the sika deer's reaction was extremely fast, although Li Shimin's arrow skills were good, the shot missed.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was a little depressed, the sika deer was bigger than the rabbit, Qin Tian could even shoot the rabbit, but he couldn't even shoot the sika deer.

Suddenly feeling a burst of inexplicable sadness, Li Shimin curled his lips, and then rode up to catch up. Today, he must spend time with this sika deer.

He just has this kind of perseverance.

Qin Tian was at the back, but he was a little dull.

"Rogue, it's too rascal, why do you always find yourself for all difficulties?"

Qin Tian cursed incessantly from behind, but seeing Li Shimin walking away, he didn't dare to stay behind, and hurriedly rode up to catch up. If something happened to Li Shimin, he would be the most sinful.

The royal ranch was very lively, and the sound of horseshoes could be heard from time to time. Li Shimin chased the sika deer everywhere, and it was hard for Qin Tian and the guards to follow.
