Xiliang has nine major gold tribes, in addition to the Golden Maha royal family, the other eight gold tribes have their own side, and the Golden Nashi clan sits in the Gulaqin grassland.

The Xiliang Prairie is divided into three regions, the Gulaqin Prairie controlled by the Nashi tribe in the west, the Mangha Prairie controlled by the Qingtan tribe in the south, and then the Qingluo Prairie controlled by the Maha royal family.

Although the Xiliang cavalry is famous all over the world, Xiliang is not rich in horses everywhere, and only these three grasslands can produce purebred Xiliang horses.

The selection of Xiliang war horses is very strict, not all horses can meet the standard, for all countries, cavalry is the most terrifying combat effectiveness, but it is not easy to form a strong cavalry corps.

Xiliang attacked Qin, known as 100,000 iron cavalry, but the real cavalry is only half, and through the desert process, lost a lot of horses, that is the West Liang spent many years of manpower, material and financial resources to form a cavalry corps, it can be seen that although Xiliang is rich in horses, but the number of war horses produced will never be as many as people think.

The three major grasslands, although the Qingluo Grassland is located in the middle and has a vast territory, it is not as good as the Gulaqin Grassland compared to the number of elite war horses produced.

Therefore, although the number of cattle and sheep handed over every year in the Gulaqin Grassland is not large, it has to supply a large number of war horses to Qingluo City, which has also become a major burden for the Gulaqin Grassland.

For the big officials of the Nashi tribe, in addition to assisting the patriarch in dealing with the government affairs of the Gulaqin grassland, one of their most important tasks is to supervise the Gulaqin grassland to be able to hand over the war horses every year, so in the Nashi tribe, the big system officials have set up a special horse supervision camp, which is a master of horse appreciation, and these people often lead people around the Gulaqin grassland, as long as they see excellent horses on the grassland, they can pay for the acquisition of them, or even forcibly requisition.

The reason for the early establishment of the Horse Supervision Camp is actually that Qingluo City does not want to see the growth of the war horses of the Gulaqin grassland, and collects excellent horses back to the Qingluo grassland, thereby reducing the strength of the war horses of the Gulaqin grassland, after all, if Gulaqin is rich in strong war horses, there is more or less some kind of threat to the Qingluo Royal City.

It's just that the horse officers of the horse camp soon discovered the way to make money.

The horses of the grassland are divided into official horses and private horses, and the official horses are the grasslands that each tribe will set aside for the collection, and the official horses that are kept are used for handing in.

The source of the official horse, at the beginning of the natural from the herdsmen's private horses, the herdsmen's private horses once the birth of the horses, the tribe will have special personnel to check, if it is determined that the horse calves are suitable for the domestication of war horses, the tribe will take out a lot of wealth to buy it, and then send it to the official horse pasture for domestication.

When the official horses grow up, they will be screened again, and they can become the horses for war, and there are only two or three out of ten, and the horses that are screened will be sold in the horse market opened regularly by the tribe, and the herdsmen of the tribe will be sold first, and the rest will be sold to other tribes that lack horses, especially the mountain tribes, who are seriously lacking in horses, and the need for horses is very strong.

In addition to official horses, many grassland herders also have their own personal belongings, such as cattle and sheep, such as horses, which are inherited from their parents and are rewarded for their official duties.

The horse officials of the horse supervision camp inspected the good horses in the Gulaqin steppe and found the trick to making a fortune, that is, all horses were good horses and blackmailed the herdsmen of the grassland.

In addition to regularly inspecting the horses, they were most interested in roaming the steppes, looking for ordinary herdsmen, and once they caught them, as long as they could still see them, they would rush to them, claiming that they were good horses, suitable for war horses, and made a look, according to the rules, to buy the horses at a very low price.

Such a price, often less than the value of the horse two percent, for the herdsmen, grazing is indispensable horses, and horses are the most valuable personal property, naturally there will be disputes, horse officials are arrogant and unreasonable, but there are herdsmen arguing, more unreasonable, to forcibly requisition horses, often at this time, the herdsmen are in a weak position, can not compete.

After forcing the herdsmen to a point where they had no choice but to do so, the horse officials acted as good men and said that if they were really reluctant to give up the horses, they would have to come up with some possessions, so that they could keep the horses without being forcibly requisitioned.

The herdsmen had no choice but to use their belongings to keep the horses, and the horse officials made a fortune from it.

The herdsmen were dissatisfied with this, and the patriarchs of the various tribes also hated the horse officials who ate the blood of the people, and once found the patriarch of the gold tribe to solve the matter, and the patriarch of the gold tribe also negotiated with the chief of the big system many times for this matter, and the chief of the big system often suppressed the patriarch in the name of the court, but he also knew that it was not good to do too much after all, so he also restrained the horse camp a little, although the horse officials were quite restrained, but this kind of thing never stopped on the grassland.

The grand rulers of the Gulaqin steppe were in charge of the horse prison camp, and the horse prison camp wandered around, one was to blackmail property, and the other was indeed to find good horses, but not all the good horses they were looking for were sent to the royal city of Qingluo with official horses, and their real good horses were often detained by the big officials and became their own private collections.

The biggest preference of the men on the grassland is horses, and the great officials of the Gulaqin steppe have two major hobbies, one is women, and the other is horses.

The great official is less than 20 miles away from the history headquarters, specially set aside a horse farm, where the water and grass are fertile, the rainfall is abundant, there is a river, the most suitable for raising horses, the golden top of the big official is set up in this area, although it is claimed that the good horses are raised here for the Maha royal family, but this horse farm is actually the private horse farm of the big official, which has more than 200 good horses, all of which are the private horses of the big official, although it has a gift for people, but it also won the private horse that the big official regards as his life.

As the Grand Ruler of the Gulaqin Grassland, he was the largest administrator of the Gulaqin Grassland, and his power was only higher than that of the Golden Patriarch, and the Golden Dome Tent Camp where he was stationed was within fifteen miles of the surrounding area, except for the Golden Patriarch, no one was allowed to enter without a pass.

The gold tribe has a large system official, and for each big official, Qingluo Wangcheng will be equipped with 800 light cavalry, and these 800 light cavalry are only assigned to the big system official, and the gold patriarch has no right to transfer.

These light cavalry are all children of the Maha tribe, and the chief officials of the various tribes, that is definitely from the Maha royal family, the great official of the Gulaqin steppe is the younger brother of the current king of Xiliang, called Maha Daqing, nearly fifty years old, this person is very scheming, firmly grasped the power of the Gulaqin grassland, and has always been firmly supervised by the golden Nashi clan under his nose.

Maha Daqing attaches great importance to his own safety, although the Qingluo Royal City is equipped with 800 light cavalry, but he still feels that it is not safe enough, once served as a guard in the Gulaqin grassland, and now he has a guard of nearly 2,000 people around him, the equipment of this guard is very good, guarding around the Golden Dome Tent, and sending rangers on the periphery, the rangers will wander and patrol within dozens of miles around the Golden Dome Tent every day, so as to ensure the absolute safety of the Golden Dome Tent.

Maha Daqing is under layers of protection, in this grassland is very comfortable, sit back and relax, he loves women, love horses, because the West Liang country began to learn sinicization very early, many people also vassal elegance practice calligraphy and painting, in the West Liang country, only nobles are qualified to read Hanshu, Maha Daqing was born in the royal family, noble status, he naturally inevitably vassal elegance, when he was young, he found a painter to learn to paint, learned for some years, although not to talk about much painting skills, but in the Maha royal family, he is also one of the few nobles who are proficient in painting.

In addition to taking a dozen of his women for a ride, another thing he likes to do is to gather his women to his golden-roofed tent and paint in front of them.

The horses depicted are also one of the many good horses he has raised.

For Mahadaqing, most of the horses in this horse farm are his life, and every time he gets a horse, he will take his woman to see it well, and then solemnly give it a resounding name, and his women must remember the physical characteristics of the horse and its name, because after Mahadaqing painted the horse, whoever can be the first to say the name of the painted horse will receive a lot of reward.

Because of this, the most willing thing for the women around him to do was to observe the physical characteristics of the horses at the horse farm from time to time, and then memorize the name of each horse in order to wait for Mahadaqing to paint and receive a reward.

At dusk, Maha Daqing is painting in the golden tent, more than a dozen women are around, different appearances, these women, in addition to the people of the Western Liang, there are women from the countries of the Western Regions in the west, some are tall and big, some are petite and exquisite, some are bewitching, some are thin and slender, and some are plump and strong, these women are staring at the picture scroll at this time, watching Maha Daqing paint.

"It's Wanli Fei!" Only a small half of the drawing was drawn, and a plump woman couldn't wait to scream, Mahadaqing laughed, stretched out his hand and slapped the woman's fat big buttocks, and said: "It's wrong, this slap is a punishment for you, if anyone says it's wrong, he will strip naked and walk around the tent." ”

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Report, the flying eagle has sent a message, a team of cavalry has appeared in the south, there are five or six hundred people, and they are coming this way!" ”

Mahadaqing paused, frowned, and asked loudly, "Who is it?" ”

"No news yet." The voice outside said: "It's just coming very fast, and soon it will enter the forbidden area!" ”

Maha Daqing put the brush away, put his hands on his back, walked out of the big tent, and reported outside the door that it was his cronies, the commander Duoji, who had two thousand guards under him, and set up two thousand commanders, all of whom were his cronies, and sneered: "Five or six hundred? Who is dying? Doji, you bring someone to meet you, see what is going on, find out the reason, and report to me! ”

Duo Ji gathered a group of light cavalry, led the team to the south to meet it, only less than twenty miles away, when he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and saw a group of cavalry not far away rushing towards this side in the dark.

As soon as Duoji beckoned, the three hundred light cavalry that followed him had already quickly distributed, forming a fan-shaped formation, bending bows and arrows, drawing bows and full moons, aiming at the front, and waiting for the battle.

The other party was unabated, and a person beside Duo Ji had already said: "Commander Qian, it seems that the people from the Zhuoyan Department are coming, and they have played the moon flag!" ”

Although all the tribes of the grassland belong to the Great Western Liang Empire, each tribe has its own tribal flag, and the Zhuoyan tribe is in the area of Moon Lake, and their tribal flag is the Moon Flag.

Duo Ji's expression was cold, "Sure enough, it's the people of the Zhuoyan Division, who allowed them to gather troops and horses?" He pulled out the scimitar at his waist, clenched the hilt, and sneered: "Is Zhuo Yanbu going to rebel?" ”
