The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 602 601 The Burning Yangtze River (41)

Bailong is the sweat horse under Zhang Yan's seat.

Although the sweat-blooded horse was also produced in Dawan, it was very different from the twenty Dawan horses. It had a more noble lineage, stronger endurance, and a stronger physique.Due to the superior geographical location of Dawan Kingdom, it has also created a very fertile pasture, coupled with the unique local horse breeds, the horses raised are basically top-quality horses.

Dawan horses are actually sweat-blooded horses. The horses belong to mountain horse breeds, are resistant to fatigue, and have hard hooves. Among them, some good horses are said to be able to run five to six hundred kilometers a day, which is often said to be a thousand miles a day, and they can flow out The sweat is like blood, so it is named sweat blood horse.

However, not all horses are blood-sweat horses, because the breeding of blood-sweat horses is also very important. Some horses are better than ordinary Dawan horses because of their innate conditions, so they will be selected , focused on breeding, and was placed on the sweat-blooded ridge of Dawan Kingdom for key cultivation. After it grows up, it will become an outstanding sweat-blood horse. Basically, it can travel thousands of miles a day. excellent horses.

However, during the turmoil in the Dawan Kingdom a few years ago, the rebels killed the king and burned the Sweaty Blood Ridge. Almost all the Sweaty BMWs were killed. Only Ayub rode the pony of the Sweaty BMW. After a catastrophe, he was also forced to live in the Han Dynasty.Now the blood-sweat horse has grown up and has become Zhang Yan's war horse. It is also Zhang Yan's favorite war horse after the black cloud riding snow horse.

As the saying goes, what is rare is the most precious, and there is only this one of the hard-earned BMWs in the world.The Dawan horse sent by Pang Tong is not a pure blood-sweat horse, but an improved horse. Although it is not a blood-sweat horse, its endurance is also amazing after being bred and raised, and it can run [-] times a day. Here, there is absolutely no problem.

Both Wusun and Dawan are holy lands for producing horses in the Western Regions. Although Wusun can also breed war horses that can run [-] times a day, due to their bloodlines, they are still inferior to the war horses of Dawan. Horses have a great reputation, and for hundreds of years, they have been the horses that people are scrambling to buy.

However, the production of bloody horses is extremely low. Even if you have a lot of money, if you want to buy a bloody horse, you can come across it but not ask for it.

Therefore, many Dawan people often use ordinary Dawan horses, sell them as good ones, and sell Dawan horses at the price of hard-earned horses. It is precisely because of this reason that they brought great disasters to Dawan. .

Many surrounding countries, as well as businessmen from the East and the West, would often vent their anger on the Dawan Kingdom once they found out that they had been cheated. Over time, the grievances grew deeper and deeper, and finally a major turmoil broke out a few years ago.

In the southwest of Dawan Kingdom, there is the Guishuang Empire, which was powerful and controlled most of Central Asia. During its heyday, it was once called the four great empires of Eurasia together with Rome, Anxi, and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although it has shown signs of decline in recent years, its military strength has always been stronger than that of the Western Regions. Kangju, Dawan, Shule and other countries have often surrendered to the Guishuang Empire.

At that time, a marquis of the Guishuang Empire was fooled by buying sweat horses. In a rage, he bewitched the king and invaded Dawan, but was rejected by the wise king.The Marquis couldn't swallow this breath, so he bribed the people of Dawan to incite the people of Dawan to rebel, which became the most fundamental reason for the civil strife in Dawan.

However, after the rebellion, the Marquis did not get the hard-earned BMW he wanted, and the people of Dawan quickly woke up and realized the mistakes they made, so they began to expel the rebels, began to reflect on themselves, and sent envoys to find Ayub, the only prince of the missing Dawan Kingdom.

It wasn't until Ayub followed Pang Tong on his mission to the Western Regions that he was revered as king by the people of Dawan Kingdom.But Ayub was extremely smart, knowing that the national strength of Dawan was not as good as before, so he simply resigned from the throne, proclaimed himself a marquis, and proclaimed himself a vassal to the powerful Han Dynasty. Bu established a firm foothold in Dawan Kingdom, and Dawan Kingdom also became the base of Pang Tong, the governor of the Western Regions. He recruited troops, formed an army, and trained soldiers. There were gradually signs of revival.

These twenty Dawan horses were searched by Ayub. He knew that Zhang Yan loved horses, so he asked Pang Tong to bring these horses as gifts to Zhang Yan.

At this moment, the white dragon horse is playing in the backyard of the county government office. Because the white dragon is extremely smart and understands human nature, Zhang Yan already regards the white dragon horse as a partner. Although he has a stable, he doesn't like to let the white dragon horse live there. Instead, let the white dragon horse play by itself in the grass in the backyard.

When Ma Chao proposed to use a white dragon horse, Zhang Yan stretched out an index finger into his mouth without thinking, and then blew a whistle forcefully.

Not long after, the white dragon horse ran over from the backyard by itself and appeared at the door of the stable.

As soon as the white dragon horse appeared, the twenty Dawan horses in the stable immediately became a little alert, and turned to look at the white dragon horse. Their heroic appearance immediately made these Dawan horses feel ashamed.

Among the twenty Dawan horses, there are stallions and mares. The stallions feel dwarfed by the image of the white dragon horse, and the mare is completely overwhelmed by the image of the white dragon horse. Like an olive branch.

The bloody horse is the king of horses, and the appearance of the white dragon horse immediately made these Dawan horses who thought they were very noble immediately feel ashamed.

Everyone saw it very clearly. At this time, Ma Chao said to Zhang Yan: "Your Highness, as long as you let Bailong eat the fodder, the horses will eat it naturally, and the matter will be solved."

Zhang Yan nodded, walked to Bai Longma's side, and whispered a few words in Bai Longma's ear, Bai Longma nodded as if he understood Zhang Yan's words.

But seeing the white dragon horse with its head held high, its chest straightened out, striding into the stable, the twenty Dawan horses caught a glimpse from the corner of its eye, and those twenty Dawan horses also looked like soldiers undergoing inspection The same, they didn't dare to show a single one, standing in the stable and looking at the white dragon horse obediently.

Suddenly, the white dragon horse stopped, turned around, then lowered its head, ate a few mouthfuls of the fodder in the manger, chewed and swallowed, then let out a long hiss, the sound was very loud, startled The rest of the Dawan horses all took a few steps back, as if they were afraid.

Then, the white dragon horse moved its head, as if signaling those Dawan horses to eat the fodder inside.

It seems to be saying, I ate it all, why can't you eat it?
The Dawan horses were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other. After looking at each other, several mares stretched their heads to the manger and began to eat the fodder placed in the manger.Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Dawan horses also began to eat the fodder in the manger. After a while, all the fodder in the manger was eaten up.

Maybe those Dawan horses were really hungry, or maybe the forage was really delicious. Anyway, the groom added forage three times in a row, and these Dawan horses ate up the forage.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Yan finally showed a smile, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, you really have a way, why did you think of using the white dragon to deal with these horses?"

Ma Chao said: "Sweat and blood BMWs have always been very expensive, they are the king of horses. Although Dawan horses are also very expensive, compared with sweat and blood BMWs, they pale in comparison. If even sweat and blood BMWs eat fodder, those Da Wanma will naturally not say anything."

"Only someone like you who is proficient in the habits of horses can think of using this trick to deal with these Dawan horses. Just now, this king promised you that if you can let these horses eat grass, this king will give you a Dawan horse." , This king keeps his word, and I will give you a Dawan horse, and you can choose one of the twenty war horses." Zhang Yan said.

When Ma Chao heard this, his heart was filled with joy, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me the horse!"

Then, Ma Chao stood in the stable and carefully selected a blue war horse, pointed to the horse and said to Zhang Yan: "Your Highness, I want that horse!"

Zhang Yan then asked someone to bring out the horse and presented it to Ma Chao face to face.Ma Chao was overjoyed, jumped on the horse's back, pulled the rein, yelled, and galloped away.

But seeing the Dawan horse walking like flying, it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a blink of an eye.After a while, Ma Chao came back from the outside on his horse, took the reins, stopped in front of everyone, jumped off the horse, and said to Zhang Yan with a happy face: "Your Highness, this horse is really extraordinary. , I will thank His Highness for the horse again here."

Seeing the happy smile on Ma Chao's childlike face, Zhang Yan couldn't put his love for his war horse, so he said, "As long as you like it, that's fine."

However, Pang De, who was standing beside Ma Chao, had a look of envy on his face, and his eyes were even more envious.

At this time, Pang Tong suddenly said to Zhang Yan: "His Royal Highness, among the horses brought back by my subordinates, eight of them are mares. The main purpose of bringing back some mares is only one, and that is I hope to improve the horse breeds in the Central Plains. In addition, there is only one sweat-blooded horse left by Your Highness, which is very rare. If it is not bred, the sweat-blooded horse is very likely to become extinct. I thought that it would be better to use the bloody horses and these eight mares to breed, and let them be bred by a special person. Good horses come."

Zhang Yan nodded heavily, thinking that Pang Tong's suggestion was very good, and said: "Shi Yuan's suggestion is very good, and it suits my wishes. I think this matter should be done in this way. Besides, you can also use In addition, these eleven stallions will be bred with horses from the Central Plains to see if they can breed better horses. Well, it's getting late, you have come from a long way, and you have worked hard all the way. After the banquet, let's go back now, as for the matter of breeding horses, let's put it aside for a while, and it won't be too late to proceed after the south is pacified."

"Here!" Everyone replied in unison.
