Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 183 Freeing Lives Means Waiting to Die

It is true that in the land of Sichuan where supplies are scarce, poverty and backwardness, having a war horse is no different from a tiger with wings for the bandits who have fallen into bandits. It is conceivable that the bandits take the heads of good people lightly with their horses and knives. How miserable?

The Three Kingdoms were in war and chaos, the lives of the people were worthless, the weak had no sense of security at all, and the banditry made the hungry people miserable. If these war horses were not killed, they would end up in the hands of the enemy, and the disaster would be endless!

Liu Qi looked at the dozen or so war horses who could not control his own destiny, and couldn't help feeling compassionate.Killing will eliminate future troubles, and the bandits will reduce their harm to the people if they have less horses; if they don't kill, once the horses are captured by the bandits, the bandits will be even more rampant.

As for fighting on the battlefield, I remember fighting against Cai Mao’s generals Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng before the Prince’s Mansion, fighting with the Black Mountain bandit Du Chang when he first entered Xinye, and attacking Gongsun Zan’s more than ten thousand soldiers with Zhao Yun in Yecheng, Liu Qi wielded When the sword kills a general, he has never felt a little bit of fear, and Liu Qi has never shed a drop of tears when hundreds of soldiers died. Liu Qi, a soldier on both sides, could not sympathize.

But now, facing more than a dozen war horses, Liu Qi is more benevolent than a woman. Although horses are beasts, as the saying goes, "Beasts are beasts, they are killed early and reborn early", but these are war horses, not meat horses. It would be a tragedy to be killed by one's own master.

"My lord, tell me, this horse can't be killed." Huan Tong's voice was loud, but he raised his eyes and begged Liu Qi, almost crying.

Huan'er stretched her hands, her chest was close to Huang Xu's sword tip, she stopped Huang Xu from killing the horse, she showed no fear at all, she was more heroic than the heroine Huang Wudie!

Huang Xu didn't expect that Huan'er would make such a move, sheathed his sword, and said with a sneer, "Huan'er, if you have something to say, please speak up, I'm waiting for your son's order."

"Huan'er..." Liu Qi stopped Huan'er, wanting to talk.

"My son, you are also a person who studies medicine. Doctors have the heart of parents. Mr. Hua Tuo taught that doctors save lives and heal the wounded but not kill lives. If two armies are fighting, soldiers are injured, and there are doctors and doctors to rescue them. Even if the horse is injured, there are also veterinarians. Killing them before going to battle? Isn’t that unfair to war horses? Killing them before fighting, isn’t that the style of your general?” Huan’er pouted, her temper became stronger, and she was quite eloquent.

Chen Wen looked at Yan Huan'er appreciatively, never thought that Huan'er, who grew up in the son's mansion since childhood, would have such courage, stepped forward two steps, bowed to Liu Qi, and said: "My lord, releasing a horse may not be a war horse. Just fell into the hands of bad people? If it is taken away by the people, it is also a matter of good deeds."

Chen Wu didn't think so, and said: "Brother Wen, even if the horses are taken away by the people, who kind and fearful people would dare to hide the horses privately? It will eventually fall into the hands of the bandits."

"This..." Chen Wen was speechless. Even though Chen Wen had a strategy of culture and martial arts, and was eloquent and eloquent, but regarding Chen Wu's robber logic, it was really impossible to say that Chen Wu's words were unreasonable.

Chen Wen wanted to distinguish, must the common people be kind and fearful?Which of those sturdy bandits did not transform from kind people?If you can be like the son and his subordinates, these brave soldiers can protect the people with their horses. Can't it be said that the people must be afraid of trouble?But Chen Wen couldn't distinguish these words from Chen Wu, and he was speechless.

Seeing that his subordinates had different opinions on whether to kill the war horse, whether to kill or not was waiting for Liu Qi's words. above the little things.

Liu Qi was already moved by Huan'er's actions when Huan'er stood up to protect the horse with death, and he had already felt compassion for releasing the war horse, but he hadn't shown it yet. Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Huang Xu, Huang Wu Die, Huan'er and the others were naturally uncertain about Liu Qi's attitude towards killing the war horse.

There is no doubt that there is no place for people to step down when climbing on the cliff, let alone the passage of carriages and horses. There are no villages, let alone smoke from cooking houses. It is impossible to deposit these precious war horses.

Liu Qi didn't want the war horses to fall into the hands of the bandits in Shu, thinking that he could free the war horses and invite Pu Yuan, the sword god, to be lucky enough to ride these war horses back to Xinye when he came back. Yes, I have?

Liu Qi thought about it, so he opened his eyes to look around, turned around to look around, and suddenly found a hollow in the misty mountain peak on the left, which is a good place for horses.

"Brother Wen, look." Liu Qi beamed, and pointed to the mountain valley on the left in front of him.

Chen Wenshun looked at the valley, and immediately understood what Liu Qi was referring to, and said, "Put the horses in the valley?"

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Exactly, let's go and have a look."

Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief, a red apple-like face showed a gratified smile, a dozen war horses were finally rescued, but Liu Qi is not so hard-hearted, the action of standing up to protect the horses moved the young master, and he couldn't help but quietly looked around The small cloth bag hanging beside the carriage contained a small wooden box containing fish bubbles as a gift from Sister Huang.

Liu Qi called Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Huang Xu and others to gallop towards the valley, and it took only a moment to reach the valley, but they were dumbfounded.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is facing water, and there is a flat place with a radius of three to five miles. The ground is full of water and grass, and there is a huge stone facing the sky. It looks like a natural cave for shelter from rain and wind. It's a good place to go, but the only regret is that the depth of this mountain depression is more than five feet, which is about [-] to [-] meters high when converted into the national standard length unit. How can the horses get down?

The mountain depression with a height of [-] or [-] meters is equivalent to jumping from a building of [-] or [-] floors. Even an adult who weighs more than [-] kilograms will fall to his death, let alone a quadruped animal weighing several hundred kilograms - a war horse?

The most troublesome thing for Liu Qi is that even if these war horses are stronger than humans, and they can jump into the water and grass without dying, it is almost impossible for the war horses to jump up again, unless these war horses are capable of jumping several feet with Liu Bei on their backs. High's magical "The Lou" horse?

Men have the luxury of loving BMW, swords or even beautiful women. Liu Qi loves horses. When he went north to Changshan to visit Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, he met Gongsun Zan in Yecheng with three thousand white horses. Yi came to the city and ordered to shoot only cavalry and not white horses. However, the battle was not won, and none of the three thousand white horses could be taken to Jingzhou, which made Liu Qi still brooding. When the time came, he would have to fight Gongsun Zan sooner or later.

But Chen Wu didn't think so much, seeing that the mountain valley could hide the horses and release them, he said happily: "My lord, this place is a natural place for horses to be herded, but we can take all the horses to the mountain valley and finish the matter."

Chen Wen understood Liu Qi's dazed eyes, turned to Chen Wu, and said, "Brother Wu, you are so tall, won't you fall to your death if the horse falls?"

Chen Wu said with a smile: "Brother Wen, that is a meadow of water and grass. Ma Yue's four feet are sunken into the mud, standing upright like beams and pillars, so there is no danger."

Chen Wen snorted, looked at Chen Wu suspiciously, and said, "How can a war horse touch the ground with all fours, instead of being upside down or slapping a gourd?"

Chen Wudao: "Brother Wen, there is no need to worry. Survival is a human instinct, and it is also an instinct of animals. Ma Yueshanao does not need to be taught, and they will land on all fours. Brother Wen claims that Wenquxing descends to earth, knows astronomy from above, and understands from below. Geography, how can we forget that living things have survival instincts?"

Chen Wen chuckled, but still didn't understand: "Brother Wu, you've been praised as a brother. Humans and creatures naturally have the instinct to survive in the face of death, but it doesn't mean that a war horse must land on all fours when it jumps over a mountain valley? Since ancient times to the present It seems that there is no research in this area? When did Brother Wu become an expert on war horses?"

Chen Wu laughed loudly when he heard it, and said: "My lord, you are still serious. I am not an expert. I was just playing around when I was young. I once saw a wild horse that was running fast and couldn't stop when it approached a cliff. When going down the cliff, all four hooves flew in the air, and fell steadily into the water and grass at the bottom of the cliff, and there was nothing wrong with landing on all fours."

When Chen Wen heard this, he punched Chen Wu in the chest, and he was also happy: "Haha, brother Wu, you are making fun of me as a brother..."

Chen Wu took a step back, rubbed his shoulders, cupped his fists, and said with a smile, "How dare you, how dare you."

Huang Xu was also happy, and said: "Haha, young master, let the horse go."

Liu Qi didn't laugh out loud, but just smiled amicably. Chen Wu's words were not unreasonable. Horses have the same survival instinct as humans. Injury or the landing position that can minimize the injury.

Basically made up his mind to wade into the valley, Chen Wendao: "Brother Wen, there is no other good place to go for the horses not to be lost to the bandits. There is no way out."

Huang Xu said: "Very well, young master, I and General Wu will wade over those war horses."

Chen Wen waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."

Huang Xu and Chen Wu left with their horses, Liu Qi looked at the valley full of water plants more than five feet deep, and said unwillingly: "Brother Wen, what I think is that the horse can jump off and release the life, but in the future, please ask the sword god Pu Yuan, if we go through the Shu Road again, how will we take these war horses away? If we go back to Xinye, without these war horses, we will lose time, and I am afraid that if we encounter bandits on the road, it will be difficult to resist!"

Hearing Liu Qi's question, Chen Wen frowned, couldn't help taking a few steps forward, looked at the deep valley, water and grassland, shook his head and said: "Surrounded by walls on three sides and facing water on one side, unless the horse grows wings and flies up."

Liu Qi felt a little regretful, and sighed slightly: "That's a pity for these war horses."

Chen Wen also sighed: "Alas, for these war horses, releasing life means waiting for death."

While talking, there was a sound of horseshoes, and a dozen war horses, ridden by Chen Wu, Huang Xu and ten bronze armored guards, came towards Liu Qi, and the carriage carrying Huang Wudie and Huan'er also came galloping .

Huang Wudie and Huan'er got off the carriage, looked at the five-foot-deep valley, and looked at each other. They were surrounded by barren mountains and wild ridges. Freeing the horse was like falling into the head of the bandits. There was no other way but to ride the horse and jump over the valley. up.

Chen Wu and several bronze-armored guards had already unloaded some of the necessary supplies from the horses. More than a dozen horses stood facing the abyss, and the tragic atmosphere that the horses were about to jump off the cliff slowly spread.

"My lord, give me an order." Chen Wu led a war horse.

"One by one." Chen Wen said.

Chen Wu glanced at Liu Qi, Liu Qi nodded, Chen Wu didn't hesitate at all, shook the reins with his hands, slammed the horse's buttocks with his palms, and at the same time let go of the reins, the horse seemed to hear the order to fight, and with a long hiss, it opened its front hooves and jumped down the mountain without hesitation. .

"Slow down!" Liu Qi yelled, stretching out his hand to stop him.

When the war horse jumped out of the edge of the valley, and his limbs were gesticulating in the air as Chen Wu said, Liu Qi looked at the water plants shining with green light at the bottom of the valley, and a thought flashed in his mind. Is it the swamp where the horse's head will be submerged if it falls into the horse's hoof?
