The polo tournament was over quickly.

With the speed of the Thunder Horse, Qin Huaiyu and the others were quickly defeated.

Losing the polo, Cheng Chumo and the others were very angry and felt very ashamed, Cheng Biting Jin here, his face was not very good-looking.

Qin Tian, on the other hand, didn't care, and when a few of them came back, he smiled: "It's a good fight, don't care about this, on the battlefield, victory or defeat is still a common thing." ”

There's really no need to worry too much about this.

The polo match continued, and it was almost noon when the winner was decided.

Li Shimin couldn't help but praise him, and then after a short lunch, everyone scattered and went hunting.

The royal ranch expanded, there was an additional mountain forest, the hinterland of the mountains and forests, there were a lot of prey, everyone dispersed to hunt like this, but it was not very entangled, Qin Tian originally wanted to go hunting with Cheng Yanjin and them, but when he left, he was called by Li Shimin.

The two monarchs and ministers entered the mountains and forests with a few pro-troops, and the other ministers did not follow.

However, although it was hunting, at the beginning, Li Shimin didn't seem to have the intention of hunting, he just rode a horse and walked slowly, without even taking out a bow and arrow.

"Qin Aiqing, what do you think of this morning's polo competition?"

"It's exciting."

"Besides the excitement?"

Qin Tian glanced at Li Shimin, and then said, "Su Lin, their mount is very fast. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, that is the fastest horse I have ever seen, if I have such a horse in the Tang Dynasty, I can form an invincible cavalry, and it will be more advantageous to conquer the Turks at that time." ”

Fighting the Turks again, it is not just as simple as defending the city, they have to attack the Turks and fight to the Turkic steppe.

But on the steppe, the infantry is not superior at all, and if you want to defeat the Turks, you have to have cavalry, and Datang also has cavalry, about more than 20,000 people, which is too little cavalry for Datang.

The reason why this is so is that there are no good horses for one reason, and the price of horses is too expensive, another reason.

The imperial court could not afford to keep so many horses, nor could they afford them.

Datang, the cavalry is not good, and there is no better way to deal with the cavalry.

Li Shimin's meaning was already clear, he wanted to build a cavalry.

An invincible cavalry.

After Qin Tian heard Li Shimin's words, he was also deeply touched, if the cavalry was not good, he would not be able to destroy the Turks, even if he had some ways to deal with the cavalry, it was by no means a perfect strategy.

The best thing to do, of course, is to be able to have a cavalry.

"What does the Holy One mean?"

"I have already asked Su Dingfang, and he said that those Benlei horses were purchased from merchants in the Western Regions, and they are horses from Dawan Kingdom, if I can get these horses from Dawan Kingdom, I can build cavalry in Datang."

Hearing that it was the horse of the Dawan Kingdom, Qin Tian's expression was slightly condensed, the Dawan Kingdom is rich in good horses, but the Dawan Kingdom is relatively close to the west among the countries of the Western Regions, and it is far away from their Datang Dynasty, and it is not easy to get a good horse from the Dawan Kingdom.

In fact, even if it is not the Dawan country, even if it is some countries close to the Silk Road, it is not easy to get these horses.

At present, the Tang Dynasty does control the Silk Road, but it is unlikely that the Silk Road is very safe, and the soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun, Tubo and other countries can easily enter the Silk Road.

Even on the Silk Road, there were many robbers and bandits, and the Tang Dynasty only reserved 2,000 soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass.

It is not easy to get good horses from the countries of the Western Regions through the Silk Road.

If it's something else, don't worry too much, but if it's a good horse, there will definitely be people who will be tempted to have the ambition to annex these good horses.

"The Holy Lord is going to send someone to buy a Thunder Horse from the Dawan Kingdom?" Although the Dawan Kingdom is small, and the countries of the Western Regions are often in dispute, it is impossible for the current Datang Dynasty to plunder the Benleima from the Dawan Kingdom by means of war.

Therefore, it can only be bought, and as far as Qin Tian knows, Datang's household department is still very full now, and there is no big problem in buying a few hundred Benlei horses.

It's just that after Qin Tian said this, Li Shimin showed a hesitant look, and then said something that Qin Tian couldn't believe.

"Datang is poor!"

There has never been a Son of Heaven who said that his country was poor, Qin Tian was speechless after hearing it, and immediately after, he more or less understood what Li Shimin meant.

Let the imperial court buy horses, it is unlikely.

Obviously, Li Shimin wants empty gloves and white wolves, and he still wants horses, and he doesn't want to pay for it.

Qin Tian didn't know what to say for a while, the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, silent, silent, only the autumn wind passed by his ears.

Suddenly, a rabbit appeared in front of him, but Li Shimin had no intention of shooting, Qin Tian did not hesitate, took out his bow and arrows and shot over, Qin Tian's archery was superb, and the sharp arrow flew out and hit directly.

This scene happened between the lightning and flint, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said with a smile: "Qin Aiqing is good at archery, good at archery." ”

"Holy Fallacy."

Li Shimin smiled: "What did we just talk about?" ”

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Holy Lord, if you don't pay for it, it's not easy to get a good horse." ”

"It's not easy, that's why I'm going to call you here and talk to you alone."

"This ...... There's no way around it. Qin Tian has an ominous premonition, he is rich, but he can't afford to buy many good BMWs, this horse, just like the cars of later generations, good horses are luxury cars, no matter how rich they are, they can't buy a few.

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and he said: "Qin Aiqing is a smart person, he will definitely be able to think of a way, after returning to the capital, you must come up with a way for me." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly said earnestly: "I believe in Qin Aiqing's ability. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin rode forward quickly, because in front, there was a sika deer, Li Shimin shot an arrow, but the sika deer's reaction was extremely fast, although Li Shimin's archery was good, but it was missed.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was a little frustrated, there were more sika deer than rabbits, Qin Tian could even shoot rabbits, but he couldn't even shoot sika deer.

Suddenly feeling an inexplicable sadness, Li Shimin pursed his lips, and rode after him again, today, he had to spend it with this sika deer.

He has this kind of perseverance.

Qin Tian was behind, but he was a little uneasy.

"Scoundrel, too scoundrel, why do you find yourself in any difficult matter?"

Qin Tian cursed in the back, but looking at Li Shimin, who was gradually moving away, he didn't dare to stay in the back for long, and hurriedly rode a horse to chase after him, in case Li Shimin had an accident, then he would be the most guilty.

The royal ranch was very lively, and from time to time there were bursts of horses' hooves, and Li Shimin chased the sika deer everywhere, making it difficult for Qin Tian and the guards to follow.
