The news of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang's pregnancy was found out by Li Yanzong and Cen Ji, and they were all happy, for them, this is a symbol of prosperity, and it is a gratifying thing. The whole Zhuangzi was jubilant about this matter, and even Li Ang always had a heartfelt smile on his face, changing the cold feeling he had in the past, and unconsciously making people feel close.

In the governor's mansion, looking at Li Ang, who was smiling and happy at the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, the chief also laughed, in the west of Wanzhou, Li Ang, who is alias Li Liuru, has the title of killing god and demon king, if the clan leaders who were killed by him in the desert saw him like this, I am afraid that they would not believe it.

"I already know what you told Your Majesty, and the idea is good." The chief began to get down to business, in fact, he liked Li Ang very much, but he was slightly dissatisfied with Li Ang's way of using troops that always relied on dangerous tactics.

"You are now a dignified captain, you can be in charge of an army of 10,000, and if you go to Haixi in the future, if you can really break the soil and establish a country, then there will be more troops under your hands, do you plan to always rely on the means of attacking the opponent's base camp to fight." Thinking of Li Ang's past exploits, the chief couldn't help frowning and reprimanded, "If you want to fight until others are convinced, you still have to rely on an upright formation in the end, and you can only do it occasionally, you know?" If you use it so much now, how will it work wonders in the future wars. ”

Listening to the commander-in-chief's lecture, Li Ang was not displeased. He had always thought that he was not good at commanding large armies, but he forgot that he was not good at it because his past experience limited him. At this time, listening to the words of the commander-in-chief, he couldn't help but re-examine himself, in the future, he will always command the army and those powerful countries on the battlefield, his opponent is not the tribes of the steppe, Upper and Lower Persia, Rome. These countries, like Great Qin, had elite legions, and to fight them, they had to annihilate their living forces to the greatest extent, rather than defeat them.

"Your Majesty asked you to go to Jiangyuan, it is an opportunity, the staff officers who give lectures may not all have been on the battlefield, but they have a unique study of the arrangement of troops, military strategy and tactics, you have to learn something well. With your ability, you must be a generation of famous generals in the future. "The Chief's expectations for Leon are high. Although the other families in Chang'an were hostile to Li Ang because of the 'Ancestral Hall Elder', he didn't care, but in other words, there was really nothing that could make him, the chief of the two dynasties, care about.

"My lord's words will always be remembered." Leon looked at the chief with a serious face, but with an expectant look in his eyes. He replied in a deep voice.

"Grandfather Xun Rizhaodi, you know, a cunning old fox, he has long smelled the smell of conspiracy in Chang'an, so he asked you to take his grandson to Wanzhou to hone his training, and now that Cao Mingde has been eliminated, he will not let his grandson continue to be under you." The chief suddenly said that Xun Rizhao looked at Li Ang and said, "For me and Da Sima, Xun Rizhao is a good candidate for prime minister. In a few years, it would be most appropriate for him to be the prime minister of the province. ”

"The meaning of the chief. The Admiral knows. "Li Ang already knew that he couldn't keep Xun Rizhao for a long time, how could the future head of the dignified Eight Pillars Kingdom be a servant under him all the time.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, if you want to go to Haixi in the future, there will always be people around you, I have an old friend and a son, in my opinion, his talent is more than enough to be a prime minister." The chief suddenly laughed, but the smile fell in Li Ang's eyes, but he always felt that something was wrong, the chief was by no means a person who would suffer, if he was the son of the old man he said, he was really so powerful, he would have been dragged to the court a long time ago, there must be a reason for this.

Looking at Li Ang's changing complexion, the chief knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say, "How can I lie to you, but my son of the old man is the prime minister, and he can be compared to Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province of the Taizong Dynasty, but he has a strange temper and doesn't like to deal with ordinary people, it's my face, he doesn't sell it, if you want him to help you, it depends on your own ability." ”

Listening to the words of the chief chief, Li Ang was a little interested in this person who didn't even buy the chief chief's face, and he was a figure who could be compared to Zhuge Liang, if others told him about this person, he would probably disdain it, but the dignified chief Qin said this, which means that this person does have real skills.

"Hearing the adults say this, Qing Yuan can't wait to see this person." Li Ang replied with a smile, "I don't know what kind of character can be so evaluated by adults." ”

"He has no fixed dwelling, and when I find him, I will send someone to tell you." The chief laughed, then took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ang, "Didn't you ask Your Majesty for war horses, I will do this for you, the people under your command will hang up with me for the time being, you can take this document to the royal ranch, you can raise three thousand war horses, but you have to pay for this money yourself." ”

"Thank you, sir." After receiving the paperwork handed over by the chief, Li Ang thanked and said, the most troublesome war horse problem has been solved, so that in three years, he can train at least 3,000 iron horsemen, and the elite who can ride and shoot all kinds of arrows.

After Li Ang left the governor's mansion, he went straight to the royal ranch, since he was in the desert, he saw that Ran Min's Zhu Long horse could make Ran Min's strength in the riding battle to give full play to Ran Min, he had the idea of looking for a good horse, but unfortunately he was in the desert for more than half a year, and he had never seen a divine horse that could be compared with Zhu Longma.

"Lord, the war horses in this royal ranch are famous all over the world." Li Yanzong, who came to the governor's mansion with Li Ang, said on the road, he used to be a secret guard under the commander, and knew a lot of things, this royal ranch was built by Emperor Taizu Cao Cao himself, and the original purpose was to take the world's good horses and breed the best war horses for the Great Qin army to drive.

Over the past one hundred and fifty years, this royal ranch has bred the most powerful horse breed in Great Qin, Black, which is one head taller than ordinary heavy cavalry war horses, and has explosive power. Speed, stamina. The weight is the strongest of the war horses of the Great Qin, the only disadvantage is that it is not easy to raise, and he likes to drink spirits, and the Qin State Fierce Horse in the pre-Qin period has a fight, but the heavy cavalry armed with this kind of war horse can be one as ten, and it is not too much to say that it is the king of horses.

Listen to Li Yanzong's narration of Hei Li. Li Ang frowned and looked at him, "How many of these black horses are there in the ranch?" ”

"I'm afraid there are about 5,000 horses, and I heard that it is for Heili every year

Most of the Metropolitan Protectorates have to send people to draw lots to decide who belongs. Li Yanzong replied, I heard the interesting story told by my colleagues, the captain-level officers of the Chang'an Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate once fought for these dark horses, and finally made the chief angry and transferred all the black horses that year to the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate. Let those captains who fought hard, the staff officers were so remorseful that their intestines were blue.

"You're saying that the chief has the right to transfer the ownership of the Black Lima Land." Li Ang listened to what Li Yanzong said. Thinking of the document given to him by the chief executive, he stared at Li Yanzong suddenly, and the cold air that burst out of his eyes made Li Yanzong tremble.

"This was originally under the control of Da Sima, but Da Sima has always dozed off and didn't do anything, so he threw it all to the chief." Li Yanzong guessed Li Ang's mind. He hurriedly replied, and then asked on the side, "Lord, are you going to transfer all those black horses?" ”

"It's only five thousand in total, and if I transfer three thousand horses at once, the generals in the capital won't come to me to fight hard." Leon shook his head and continued, "It would be nice to get a thousand. ”

"Actually, Lord, the number of five thousand is only the number of adult black li, like our family. If you take all the young pony dialect, I guess you can get it. It's just that it costs too much gold baht to raise a black horse. Li Yanzong suddenly remembered other things about Hei Li, and hurriedly said.

"Money is not an issue." Li Ang looked at Li Yanzong, and then asked, "How much does this black horse cost?" ”

"In adulthood, a horse is about 300 gold baht, and this is the amount sold to the army, and a black horse in the horse market costs at least 1,000 gold baht, and it is still priceless." Li Yanzong replied, "In the past, the Persians and Romans had the idea of fighting black horses, but since they were discovered, the military hall has tightened the control of the trade in black horses. ”

"Three thousand horses, that's 900,000 gold baht." Li Ang frowned, although the price was a little higher, but it was still within the range of what he could accept, he had already decided to use the black horse to form a cavalry unit belonging to his family.

On the way to the pasture, Li Ang heard Li Yanzong tell a legend about the black horse, it is said that the first generation of the black horse not only drank alcohol on the battlefield, but even drank the blood of the dead, which can be described as a fierce horse, and even the adult leopard did not dare to get close to it, which was quite strong.

When he arrived at the ranch, Li Ang saw the official who managed the ranch, this old man named Cao Mu, was an out-and-out horse idiot, and when he heard that Li Ang wanted to buy three thousand black horses, he immediately jumped up as if he had been stripped of his heart. Now as soon as Li Ang opened his mouth, it was three thousand horses, how could he not be excited.

Seeing that Cao Mu refused to let go, Li Ang had no choice but to take out the documents given to him by the chief and subdued Cao Mu on the grounds of military life. "Lord Cao is a person who really loves horses, and he will send someone to learn how to raise black li, and he will never let a horse die, so Lord Cao can rest assured." Li Ang saw Cao Mu's mouth kept nagging, 'My poor black li'er! His head was three times bigger, and he said quickly.

"There are no fewer people you come to learn, three thousand black horses, you have to take care of everything, it's not easy." Cao Mu chattered and told Li Ang about the things to pay attention to when feeding Hei Li.

"In the past, everyone regarded their own horses as wives, no, it was better than their wives." When Cao Mu was very old, when he was old, he loved to talk about the past, and when he took Li Ang to the horse training farm to pick a horse for himself, he talked about how much the Great Qin cavalry cherished his war horse when he was young, "When you are fighting, this horse can save your life, if you are good to it, it will be good to you, and even willing to die for you." ”

"Lord Cao, I will let them take good care of Hei Li'er." Listening to Cao Mu's last words, Li Ang's expression perked up, "If you are good to it, it will be good to you, and it is even willing to die for you." 'Who's to say no, on the battlefield, the cavalry's horse is the most reliable comrade-in-arms, even closer than the comrade-in-arms, when you ride the horse to fight, it is a part of you.

In the horse training farm, the horse trainer of the ranch was taming the horse, and Leon saw the black steed alone in the stall at first sight, "That is?" Li Ang looked at Cao Mu beside him.

"That's Xiao Zi'er." Looking at the black horse with purple sideburns on the horse's neck, Cao Mu muttered, telling the origin of the horse he called Xiao Zi'er: The black Li horse is the treasure of the pasture, and it has always been very strict, but sometimes there are still stallions that run into the field from time to time and mate with other mares in the herd, this little Zi'er is born from the black Li horse and another mare in the field, probably inheriting the violent temper of the black li, Xiao Zi'er has been unsociable in the horse herd since she was a child, and was driven out of the horse herd after kicking and biting a few young horses in the same group, He wandered out alone.

"When I found Xiao Zi'er, it was covered in scratches, but the little lamb, who was only three years old, kicked the leopard in the mountain to death and licked the blood there." Thinking of finding Xiao Zi'er, Cao Mu showed a nostalgic look on his face, "Later, I took it back to the ranch and wanted to put it in the black to feed, but I didn't think that it was also driven out in the black group, and then its temper became more and more violent, so I could only lock it up alone." ”

"If I had found Xiao Zi'er earlier, maybe it wouldn't be like this." Looking at the irritable black horse locked in a small stable, Cao Mu muttered to himself, in his eyes, Xiao Zi'er is not a horse, it is the same as people, it also has joys, sorrows and sorrows, no horse is willing to ask for it, of course it has a bad temper, he knows.

"I want this horse." Li Ang looked at Cao Mu, who was muttering to himself and blaming himself a little, and said quietly.

Listening to Li Ang's words, Cao Mu was stunned, and several other people in the ranch around him also looked at Li Ang in surprise, the strength of this black horse is amazing, even the most majestic stallion in the black horse can not be compared with it, and the temper is violent, no one in the horse farm has ever tamed the idea before, but in the end it ended in serious injuries, and later died a son of a family who came to pick a horse, if it weren't for Cao Mu, this black horse is estimated to have died a long time ago.

"I want it, I'm going to fix it." Looking at the black horse with heavy chains on his body, Li Ang's eyes showed a stunning light, and the people around him were stunned.

"Let him go, maybe he can do it." Cao Mu waved his hand to stop the ranch official next to him who wanted to step forward to stop Li Ang, and muttered to himself.
