Chapter 186: The Way of the General
Black Mountain is a section of Yin Mountain, the whole north, Yin Mountain Range is endless, Yixin Mountain is a mountain peak in the north of Black Mountain. Sky! Day.#
Originally, this area was full of the hometown of the Gaoche people, since Rouran and Xianbei began to oppose each other, the Montenegrin generation as the main battlefield non-stop conquest, living in this grassland Gaoche was divided, the north was plundered by Rouran to be a tribesmen, the south returned to the Great Wei, creating many descendants like Di Yefei.
And the pasture where Gao Che lived was gradually turned into a wild land because of the town guard of the Black Mountain camp, Rouran and other Hu people did not dare to go south to graze, and the soldiers of Wei State had no worries about food and clothing because of the supply of grain and grass in the rear, and rarely ventured north.
The herd of horses under Yixin Mountain grew so quickly.
The mountains on the prairie are different from the mountains elsewhere. It is possible that the wind is blowing on the mountain, there are clouds flying overhead, and the goose feather snow is heavy in an instant, and the bottom of the mountain is a vast field and a lush forest.
Once the snow on the top of the mountain melts, it becomes a stream that flows through the mountain, and the babbling stream at the foot of the mountain attracts countless bison and wild horses to breed.
He Mulan is a typical southerner, and the farthest place he goes to is the imperial capital. This area further north is already a place to go abroad, and she has never set foot in two lifetimes.
When she arrived at the camp in Montenegro, she practiced every day, went out to fight, and killed the enemy, and never came out to enjoy the magnificent grassland scenery north of Montenegro, let alone lie on the grass with hundreds of comrades, looking at the horses in the distance......
"General Hua, how is that group?"
A lean young man pointed to a group of wild horses next to him.
"Everyone who is fat and strong will definitely be able to sell a good fortune!"
"I think it's good over there, it's all dark horses! The dark horse sells high wealth! "
Knights riding black horses during night raids generally have a higher survival rate than white horses, because many veterans like black horses, and merchants also like to buy black horses because they sell quickly.
Many military households in the north have to prepare their own war horses when they receive military stickers, and most of these people have retired seniors in their families. Only people like Mulan's family, who have little surplus, can buy whatever they can afford, and they can't pick the color.
He Mulan listened to the discussion of everyone in his ears, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
From the first time I heard about her plan as a fantasy, to the eagerness to learn how to lass the horse, to the last time the patrol came back to find the place where the wild horses had to go, all the soldiers who saw this magnificent herd of horses went completely crazy!
Don't say they're crazy, even she's crazy, okay!
Hundreds of horses are eating grass and drinking here so leisurely! It's quiet, like just pulling it away!
Hundreds!
All gathered here!
Even if wild horses are cheaper than domesticated war horses, there is never a shortage of people in the north who can train horses, and how much gold and silver can be exchanged for such a large group of horses!
He Mullan made a promise, she only took 20%, and the rest was divided equally among the soldiers under the account.
According to a thousand horses, she took two hundred, which was equivalent to one horse for each person. And there are thousands of wild horses passing by in Yixin Mountain? Further north there may be.
If you catch it for a month, you might be able to sell two or three horses!
They all inquired, and the untrained wild horses can be sold for twenty silk horses according to their quality, even if they are average.
I heard that if these merchants could buy them in the Southern Dynasty, they could sometimes sell them for thirty-five horses!
Twenty horses is enough for a family of five to live for two or three years.
The worm war horse has always been the main source of entry for the main generals and deputy generals in the army, and after a battle, the war horses of the dead are taken away by the generals of each department.
That's how one of Hemulan's substitute horses came about and has been used ever since.
"How many marso sets have you prepared?"
He Mulan looked at the large herd of wild horses in front of him, and he was also delighted.
"There are five for each person, and there are quite a few poles." Tuluo came forward, obviously excited." Let's give it a try, shall we? Try it first! "
They are all techniques on paper, except for a few slaves who have really lassoed the horse, no one else has seen it.
He Mulan looked at the peanut beside him, he had also lassoed his horse, and he was not bad at the mouth of these slaves. He looked at him inquiringly, he squinted at the herd of horses in front of him, pointed to a herd of horses relatively far from the spring, and said:
"This herd of wild horses was not as strong as the other horses, so they were driven over there to drink water. We're catching a horse for the first time, so we're just going to try this one."
"Huh? Don't you look for that over there?"
A few people looked at the fat and sturdy wild horses on the other side, showing disappointed expressions.
"If you catch the horse, if you don't catch it well, the other horses will rush up and kick you to death, trample to death!" Seeing that they were not worried at all, Peanut earnestly persuaded: "Even if the slave owner does not treat people as human beings, he will not let the slave find this kind of horse for the first time."
He said it so badly that everyone else stopped.
If it was so easy, the gentle tribal masters wouldn't let the slaves do such a thing. Warriors and young men are used to fight, and only this kind of thing as cannon fodder is what slaves do more.
Seeing that Peanut was right, He Mulan immediately pointed to the remote herd of horses.
"Good! That's it, let Peanut and the other 'masters' show us a few first! "
It's a young herd of horses so the stallion of the year. [,! Ji is not big. Young horses always have to give way to older ones, so they have to wait for the rest of the pack to enjoy feeding, drinking, or mating.
But today it was different, today they found a herd of mares that had not been touched by the old guys!
The young mustangs, drinking water, stopped their movements and involuntarily looked at the mares who were emitting a wonderful smell.
Unlike the mares in the wild horse herd, they are strong, have smooth fur, have a beautiful and conspicuous color, and most importantly......
Each of them is in heat!
The wild horses were all crazy, and their hooves were digging into the ground, and they started snorting incessantly.
They can't wait to gallop over, ride on them, and start giving birth to new offspring for them to join their herd.
There are these "stunning stunners" in zài, and they are worried that their horse herd cannot grow?
One of the most impatient stallions turned around and began to move towards the position of the group of mares that appeared in the distance, but was hit by the force of the sudden collision and took a few steps back and had to stop.
In front of it, a tall brown steed knocked the young stallion away with its head, and his eyes seemed to say, "You dare to go up before I get on it?" Something like that.
The young stallion obediently made way for his leader and let him go first.
In an instant, the brown head horse made people understand what it means to prolapse, ah, the speed of a wild horse.
Looking at the head horse running majestically towards the herd of mares from the spring, everyone was infected and involuntarily clenched their fists.
"Hooked!" Shan Zhiqi shook his fist into the air. Mulan, those military slaves of yours do have experience, and the mare you looking for will coax them away in no time! "
He Mulan nodded.
In order to find these mares in estrus, these military slaves actually went to find the urine excreted by the mares. It is said that the mares will become more frequent when they urinate in heat, and the slaves who have been rescued by Rouran will soak in the stables almost all day long, and they will be selected to find these mares.
There were many knights' stallions under Hermulan's tent who did not gelding, and when they met these mares, they made some jokes, but fortunately, Hermulan's Yue Ying did not seem to be in heat, and did not take her off the horse, nor did he give courtesy to other mares.
Peanut held the lasso in his hand, squinted his slender eyes, turned over a mare who was also in heat, and calmly greeted the galloping head horse.
At that moment, he was like a young general who was about to go on an expedition.
The mare strides towards the young and strong stallion, which is also in heat and naturally hopes that the strongest stallion will give birth to offspring with him.
The head horse rushed into the mares and started sniffing their butts incessantly. The mare that Peanut rode finally entered the herd, and the horse looked up, and Peanut lay on his stomach on the horse's back, not moving, and the wild horse did not realize the danger, and after a few glances, he continued to sniff the other horses.
Once the stallion that entered the mating/mating was interrupted, the manic Cheng dù would be several times more than ordinary, and Peanut knew that he could not drag it any longer, so he took advantage of the wild horse to raise his head again to "select", stretched out his arm, and flew out the lasso in his hand.
He didn't put a horse on a horse in motion, or even a horse pole or anything like that.
The lasso escaped into the neck of the head horse with great precision, and this precision and timing stunned everyone else.
The lasso that flew out suddenly tightened under the pull of the peanut, and the mustang realized that something was wrong, and began to shake his neck frantically, and kept standing up and stooding on the ground, making a cry calling for the horses.
"Slip on! What's next? Shall we pull that horse back?" More than a dozen soldiers jumped up, eager to step forward and pull back the "silk silk".
Twenty horses!
Twenty horses!
"If you don't subdue the head horse, the horses won't follow you." An experienced military slave said, "You'll have to wait for Peanut to subdue this horse."
He Mulan stood there silently, watching Peanut ride the mare step by step towards the mad stallion, and with a flash of sideways, jumped onto the back of the brown horse.
It was a young stallion with an unsaddled back, a smooth back, and a constant leap.
He Mulan watched as Peanut clamped the horse's back with the strength of his legs, allowing himself to wrap himself firmly around the brown horse's body, his lasso kept tightening, and he kept fighting with the stallion.
At this moment, the young lad was no longer a military slave with miscellaneous things around her, but a real warrior, engaged in a battle with the most spiritual animals of the steppe.
Everyone held their breath, and for a moment, except for the neighing of horses and the gasping of peanuts, there seemed to be only the sound of the wind blowing through the grass on the prairie.
The brown horse, blindfolded and holding its neck, finally gave in after a leap, and when its herd arrived, he saw an extra figure on his leader's back.
He Mulan watched as Peanut rode his majestic brown-headed horse towards him. Behind him, followed by a herd of younger stallions.
They followed Peanut to Mullam as if they were surrounded by a newly enthroned king.
Peanut turned over and dismounted, respectfully offering the rope that had been wrapped around the horse's neck.
"Master, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life."
"Peanuts, well done!"
"It's worthy of General Hua's entourage!"
It was only then that Hermulan remembered that this first-class riding boy didn't even have a horse of his own. [,! ].
It never occurred to her that she was going to send this junior high school-old child to the battlefield, and in her expectation, he should wash his clothes, run errands, and do light things in the tent.
But she forgets that this is the descendant of the Xianbei and Rouran people, who are born to belong to the grassland, to the horses, just like the "freedom" he yearns for, and she should not decide what he should do.
Hermulan did not take the rope.
"You've done a good job, and I'll give you this head horse."
She said.
"I hope you can be a true knight."
Free-hearted, strong and compassionate.
A real knight.
He had won the approval of her, as well as those of his comrades behind her, through his own efforts.
He deserves what he deserves.
Peanut jerked his head up, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
He Mulan nodded to him, turned to the soldiers behind him, and shouted:
"Seven horses! We managed to catch seven horses! We'll have seventy horses in the future! Seven hundred! Seven thousand! "
"I am a general from an ordinary military family, and you are the most despised right sergeant. We have no money, no power, no fame, but we have brains, perseverance, and courage! We want to tell others that the Right Army is poor, and the Right Army has no nobles, but the Right Army is definitely not a place without a future! "
He Mulan suddenly grabbed the peanut next to him and didn't let him continue to kneel on the ground.
She felt that at such a moment, no one should have lowered their heads.
She raised her head, as if she wanted to vent all the depression in her chest, and shouted:
"No difficulty can overwhelm us!"
One, two, three, hundreds of young men stared at their general, and shouted along.
"Swear allegiance to General Hua!"
"Swear allegiance to the right army!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't lick the butt of nobles!"
Hermulan looked up into the distance.
There, the mountains of the Mongolian plateau have no end in sight and no end in sight.
It is barren and poor, and in most places there are no plants other than grass growing in the fields. But so many nomads have been bred here, and so many herdsmen who rely on the grassland for food, are they all relying on robbing other people's things?
She is too poor to feed so many people, she is not an all-purpose heroine, she can't make soap, steel, or cannons, but she has people, guts, and flexible brains.
Can you still starve her to death?
Even if she is laughed at, even if she is treated as a group of turtles, she has to find a way to feed so many people.
Feed them, don't starve to death, and let them live better than the other soldiers.
Arman Zhiqi who died in battle, Qiu Lin Mo Zhen who died in battle, and so many lonely families raised by Mulan, if it weren't for Mulan, I'm afraid they would all be living a poor life.
Even if they are heroes, even if they have paid for the blood and sweat of Great Wei, who can remember their names later?
Alive, living with dignity, able to return to the hometown in fine clothes, and not let the family go hungry.
She is not Mulan, and she may not be admired by thousands of people, so let's start by not letting the people below go hungry and not let their families go hungry.
"We set the horses."
He Mulan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the spring.
"No, we'll learn slowly!"
I'm not going to be a general either.
Let's learn slowly together-1570896608239252695+-&&
