Famous horses

Since the Eastern Expedition in July last year, two spiritual war horses have died in the battle, but they have both exchanged their lives for the safety of their owner Li Shimin.

Sun Wuji, the chief of the marching army, knew that Li Shimin loved horses as much as his life, and as long as it was a horse that caught his eye, he would have to find ways to get it.

The famous horse is entrusted to the king of Qin, and once there is a good or bad on the battlefield, it depends on his efforts to break through. When he fought, in order to boost morale, he desperately charged the front line, and if he did not have a famous horse as a mount, there was almost no chance of survival.

The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law and Fa Xiao, and the relationship between the two is close, and he has always done it for Li Shimin to collect famous horses. Over time, he himself became an experienced Soma master.

The Soma division who accompanied the army this time was the chief of the Chang'an Imperial Horse Supervisor, he came from the Western Regions Kangguo, and his name was Tel Leqin.

The war was imminent, and the eldest grandson Wuji found Tel Qin and asked him to personally select a first-class mount for the King of Qin.

Telqin was unequivocal, he had been prepared for a long time. The war horses of the Tang Army were all rejuvenated and chirping under his domestication and conditioning.

At this moment, he took out a strong white horse from the stable and introduced it to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Lord eldest grandson, please look - this horse has steady hooves, galloping like the wind, thick hips and flat waist, and will not feel bumpy even if it crosses mountains and rivers on horseback. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw this horse, he was covered in pure white hair, fat and strong, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Then let Tel Leqin ride a white horse and go with him to meet the king of Qin.

Li Shimin was very happy to see the white horse, so he rode it around a few times and was very satisfied. He immediately decided to stay as his mount and personally named him "Qinghu".

Li Shimin has always valued the horse master, and he left Teller to drink and talk by his side, and listen to him tell the origin of this horse in detail-

Five years ago, Weichen's father was grazing at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and met a pale white wild horse, which was smart and elegant, and was extremely happy, so he urged the clansmen to go and want to tame it. For seven days and seven nights, dozens of horses could not catch up with it, and the white horse ran above the snow line and disappeared into the snow on the top of the mountain. Later, by chance, my father caught the mare that the wild horse was in love with, and then attracted the white wild horse. My father made a stable for them to settle down, and they have been inseparable ever since. Green Horse is their foal. It was I who raised the "Green Horse" and rode it to participate in the horse race held by our Kangguo. In the first competition, he won the first place. Since then, it has been favored by the king as a gift to the Tang Dynasty!

……

After Li Shimin heard this, his heart was happy, and he was full of interest, so he called Captain Chi Jingde and led a few entourages to hunt in Pishan.

He wanted to take advantage of this hunt to observe the resilience of the green horse.

Li Shimin wore a Longquan sword on his waist, carried a boxwood bow on his back, and rode a green horse all the way.

When they reached the edge of the dense forest, a leopard suddenly sprang out, and in an instant the hare ran away, the birds flew wildly, and the other horses were frightened and neighed in their mouths, but the green horse pricked up its ears, shook its mane, and stared ahead with its eyes without turning its eyes.

Seeing Qinghu so calm, Li Shimin liked this horse even more from the bottom of his heart, and he immediately decided to ride it into battle on the day of the decisive battle to kill the enemy!
