Chapter Twenty-Six: An Unexpected Clue

The 10,000-man team of the Blade Division Tong Xiaoye, there are eight 1,000-man infantry teams, a 1,000-strong light cavalry team, and a 1,000-person siege crossbow team, which is an integrated team.

Ling Xia's original troops were on the east side of the base camp of the Battle Guards, while the camp of the Sharp Blade Division was on the south side of the base camp of the Battle Guards, and the two armies were separated by thousands of meters.

After Tie Lianjin led Ling Xia to the camp where Bi Ma Wen was, he called several horse trainers in the camp to him and told everyone that Ling Xia was the new Bi Ma Wen, so that everyone would obey Ling Xia's orders in the future, and after explaining, Tie Lian Jin left.

Ling Xia's camp is a horse farm, the whole horse farm is divided into five horse feeding areas, which have 1,260 war horses, and Ling Xia and several other people's job is to manage these war horses to prevent them from getting sick or having accidents.

After taking office, Ling Xia first said hello to several people in the team, and everyone got to know each other, there were a total of six horse trainers in the racecourse, namely Liu Da, Niu Er, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Mazi, and Du Xiaolai.

Among the several people, except for Du Xiaolai, who is responsible for distributing the war horse forage, the remaining five people are each responsible for a horse feeding area, Ling Xia is Bi Ma Wen, so he doesn't have to work, he just needs to slip the horse every day.

At the beginning, Ling Xia was quite satisfied with this work, but after working for more than ten days, he was a little impatient, for no other reason, although he raised so many war horses, but Tie Lianjin They didn't come to lead the horses for training at all, and these war horses were about to become war pigs.

"Bi Ma Wen, this is really an official who breeds horses, no wonder Sun Monkey made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace later, this place is really too special," muttered, Ling Xia called Zhang San, Li Si and a few of them into his tent.

After all the personnel arrived, Ling Xia took out the mahjong he made of wooden blocks, beckoned everyone to play mahjong, Ling Xia grabbed a seat by himself, and the remaining three seats, Zhang San and a few of them decided to draw lots.

After the draw was over, Ling Xia, Zhang San, Niu Er, and Du Xiaolai sat down to play mahjong, while Liu Da, Li Si, and Wang Er Mazi stood from the side and bet, and on the fourth day of coming here, Ling Xia was so bored that he couldn't stand it.

In order to relieve the boredom, he made a deck of mahjong cards, hand in hand will teach a few people, when everyone will be about the same, Ling Xia began to empty gloves white wolf, while everyone has not really figured out the method of winning, he used the means of deceitful Hu plus stealing cards, won a lot of money for a few people.

"Twenty thousand."

Ling Xia didn't forget to care about work when he touched the cards, and asked a few people all the time if they had finished speaking: "Zhang San, have you swept the horse manure?" Niu Er, have a few sick horses in your horse feeding area been cured? Du Xiaolai, don't forget to add water to the manger, you forgot last time, and those war horses were thirsty and foamed at the mouth. ”

Through more than ten days of contact, everyone has become familiar with Ling Xu, so it is not as raw as at the beginning, and after Ling Xia asked about everyone's work, Zhang San couldn't help but ask Ling Xu: "My lord, please forgive your subordinates for being ignorant, how did you come to such a place?"

The horses barked day and night, and the noise kept people awake. There is horse manure everywhere, and it stinks as soon as you go out, and the elder man pinchs his nose every time he comes here, but you just chose such a place to serve, don't you like to ride a horse? ”

"I like to eat horses, I don't like to ride, you know why? Because I can't ride this thing, if I meet a good horse, I can ride two steps, and if I meet a strong horse, I can't even get up. Ling Xia sneered.

After Zhang San heard this, he pointed to the horse breeding area outside and said: "If this is the case, you can take our war horses to train, we don't have anything else here, that is, there are war horses, you can pick and practice casually, and if you practice and waste it, you can change it again." ”

"Is that okay?" Ling Xia looked at a few people and asked, "I practice riding with these military horses, this is a little wrong, right?" ”

"Oh, my lord is too worried, aren't these war horses just for people to ride?"

"That's right, besides, there are only a few outside here, who will pass that on if you don't have it?"

"Guarding such a natural horse farm and ready-made war horses, it's a pity not to practice."

"My lord, we don't know anything else, but we still have the ability to train horses, and we can help you, you can see it."

"That's right." After thinking about it for a while, Ling Xia touched a card, looked at it, and slapped the card on the table: "Self-draw, this one doesn't need money, go, go pick a horse, let's play a few horses." ”

Coming to the horse feeding area, Ling Xia looked at the war horses in front of him, he picked a jujube red war horse, pointed to the horse and asked everyone, "How is this one?" The colors are bright, the eyes are bright, isn't it beautiful and wonderful? ”

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads at the same time: "Although this horse looks good, its hind legs are short, its storage is insufficient, the horse's ears are drooping, and it is malnourished. ”

"I look good, huh?" After a few glances, Ling Xia gave up the war horse, circled around the horse trough, he came to a black tall horse, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction: "This horse's hind legs are tall and long, it must be good." ”

Hearing this, everyone still shook their heads: "Although this horse is tall, but it has no gods, please see, my lord, this horse has hair loss on its tail, weak legs, and loose teeth, it is clear that it has a hidden disease, and it is a sick horse." ”

"I'll it, there is still so much attention to raising horses?" Puzzled, Ling Xia pointed to these war horses in the horse breeding area, and asked everyone to explain all the knowledge related to war horses, while he listened silently to learn these knowledge.

Following several horse trainers to learn the theoretical knowledge for a few days in a row, Ling Xia's understanding of war horses can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, he now only needs to look at it, he can see the advantages and disadvantages of each war horse, and if you listen to it, you can hear the state of each war horse.

After learning the theory, it is time to practice, Ling Xia picked a war horse suitable for marching from the bumpy road, followed several horse trainers to start riding from the hillside, under the careful teaching of several people, Ling Xia's riding skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.

After more than a month of hard work, after riding five sturdy war horses, Ling Xia finally came out of the school, in addition to recognizing horses, identifying horses, riding horses, and driving horses, he is now able to tame the fierce horses alone.

Seeing that Ling Xu had mastered these horse training skills in just one and a half months, Zhang San and Li Si all looked at each other with admiration, this evening, Ling Xia rode out alone for a while, and only came back when dinner was held in the evening.

Seeing that everyone was about to go to the canteen to eat, Ling Xia shouted a few people, he untied six jars from the horse, and after opening them, he saw that there were six dishes inside, namely braised pork trotters, stuffed pork ribs in sauce, shredded pork with sharp peppers, pork knuckles with red oil, cold lotus root slices, and bamboo shoots and bacon.

In addition, Ling Xia also brought two jars of five-pound liquor, it turned out that in order to thank everyone for their help during this time, Ling Xia specially rode to Yang Lucai's place, and got a few meat dishes and two jars of liquor from there.

Seeing these drinks and dishes brought by Ling Xia, everyone was immediately surprised and delighted, before the wine and food were served, they were already full of mouths, and ordered everyone to take care of the war horses first, close the fence of the horse farm, and after the work, Ling Xia beckoned everyone to take a seat.

After a few simple greetings and thanking a few people, Ling Xia and they began to drink and eat, everyone had never eaten such a good meal, so they all ate and drank happily, looking at the appearance of everyone gobbling up, Ling Xia couldn't help but smile.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone also drank a little high, and all of them spoke with big tongues, looking at the bottom of the plate in front of which was almost naked, Wang Er Mazi drooped his tongue and said:

"My lord, you're really good, I won't tell you, if Lao Lin Tou is here, he will definitely recite a poem with you, that guy relies on a little ink in his stomach, he writes poems to people at every turn, and even writes poems when he goes to the toilet, it's really annoying."

"Oh? And such people? How come I've never seen that old forest man? Ling Xia asked casually.

Du Xiaolai nodded: "He ------ he is the best horse trainer among us, half a ------year and a half a year ago, he was transferred to the Tiger Wolf Division by General Peng of the General Staff's Mansion, it seems to be in the 4,000-man team, I heard that he became a centurion, and he gave this guy to Niu at that time, but then this guy was no longer heard, and he didn't know where to be an official." ”

"Tiger Wolf Division?" After hearing this number, Ling Xia's heart suddenly moved, and the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated a lot, he remembered that he had heard Shi Polei say before that the Tiger Wolf Division was the descendant of Wu Zhenshan.

After the accident in Wu Zhenshan, people from the military department and the criminal department came to investigate and dismissed many officers, among which the 1,000-person team and the 4,000-person team of a certain 10,000-person team were the worst, and Lao Lin Tou was transferred to the 4,000-person team before he disappeared, which must be related.

The old Lin Tou was transferred away by a general surnamed Peng in the General's Mansion, this person must be related to Wu Zhenshan, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to transfer Lao Lin Tou beyond the level, according to Du Xiaolai, Lao Lin Tou's horse taming skills are very high, it seems that this is the reason why he was transferred.

After analyzing it quickly, Ling Xia asked everyone as if unintentionally: "Have you seen that general surnamed Peng recently?" ”

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads: "A general of the level of General Peng, how can we horse breeders see it?" They are usually in the big camp, and they don't even have to look up when they see us, and only generals of the rank of captain can reach them. ”

As soon as these people's voices fell, Liu Da, the oldest among the people, spoke: "It's a coincidence, when I went to walk my horse in the mountains and forests the day before yesterday, I happened to meet that General Peng, and I saluted him, guess what?" He nodded at me, hehe------- we have face, right? ”

"The day before yesterday?" In this way, the general surnamed Peng should not have been implicated in Wu Zhenshan's matter, why did the Criminal Department and the Military Department miss this person? Is he unaware? Or is it hidden deep? ”

After thinking for a while, Ling Xia asked everyone a few more questions, but there was no gain, seeing that at this time, everyone fell asleep on the table one by one because they were not strong enough to drink, Ling Xia muttered secretly in his heart: "It seems that I will have the opportunity to take the initiative to approach General Peng in the future." ”
