Chapter 31: The Lonely Horse
readx;
Du He wanted to see what kind of horse could make the people of the steppe helpless, and strode into the courtyard, where he was astonished by the sight of a steed, a steed that was difficult to describe in words, or a Pegasus to be exact. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The more common horses of the Pegasus are taller, with slender and vigorous limbs with strip-like muscles like steel forged, smooth and energetic skin as bright and bright as clouds in the sky, and a white mane that sways in the wind without a single stray hair, like a thousand snowflakes fluttering proudly in the sun.
Its whole body is full of explosive power, bull's-eyed eyes, exuding a wild aura, it is an arrogant and unyielding fighting spirit, and there is some disdain in it, it seems that the world is big, but no one is qualified to climb its back.
What Du He cares about is that the upper part of the nose of the heavenly horse in front of him protrudes slightly outward, some like the head of a rabbit, which reminds him of the Red Rabbit, the mount of the peerless Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms period.
"This nose is also a bit like a rabbit, is it the same kind as the red rabbit?" He smiled softly, cranky.
Du He knew very little about Soma's knowledge, and he didn't know that the horse's head was the most critical part of Soma.
Generously lying on the ground in embarrassment, apparently letting it fall off its horse.
Pegasus bursts hot air from his nose and holds his head up proudly, disdainful of the loser who falls to the ground.
This horse is so handsome!
Du He was a little distracted, and the snow-white hair without any variegated hair gave people a dreamlike beauty, which made people marvel and intoxicated. If it's in modern times, if you ride it out to take your sister, it's definitely more stylish than driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and I believe that no sister can resist such a temptation.
Originally, Du He still felt strange why the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo would fight each other for a horse, and only after seeing this horse did he understand that this horse was the kind of horse lover in the eyes of horse lovers, which could be compared with Diao Chan and belonged to the level of the city and the country, which was a priceless treasure and hard to find.
This kind of divine horse can only be worthy of the hero of my Datang!
Du He originally just had this idea in his heart, but he didn't care too much about whether he succeeded or not, after all, he was just a horse, but now his mind has completely changed, and he has made up his mind that he will leave this horse behind by force.
Dadushe, who fell to the ground, saw Du He and Desire Valley Sheh break in together, and hurriedly got up, blocking in front of the heavenly horse, protecting it and looking at the two vigilantly. But it seems that the horse did not appreciate it, and went straight forward, flipped the top of Dadu to the ground, and then snorted twice arrogantly, and the long horse face seemed to have a look of disdain.
No way?
Du He rubbed his eyes, what kind of world, even horses will despise people.
Desire Gu set out laughing out loud directly, with a look of banter.
Dadushi let the horse be beaten down in public, he was already extremely angry, and when he heard the laughter of Desire Valley, he was even more annoyed, but he was afraid of Du He's presence, so he didn't break out, and asked in a reluctant voice: "What are you doing here?" ”
Du He was reasonable, and he also faced the questioning, showing a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and said: "I should ask you this, this is Datang, not your grassland, it is not your turn to spill, dare to rob the items of my Datang envoy in public, and make it clear that I don't look at my Datang in my eyes, and I am not small." ”
Dadu's expression changed slightly, and sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily. If Du He is just setting up a head for Desire Valley here, and he is not afraid of Dadu, but Du He focuses on despising the Tang Dynasty and doing whatever he wants in the Tang Kingdom, this is not just a private matter of a horse's belonging. Under the deliberate exaggeration, it is not surprising that this matter has caused friction between countries, and it is not surprising that it has caused war without giving a reasonable explanation.
Dadu set up envy of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and his greatest wish was to break through Chang'an, sit on Li Tang's country, and turn all the land of the Han people into their Xue Yantuo's pasture. However, he is self-aware, although Xue Yantuo has 300,000 troops and dominates the north, he is still not Li Tang's opponent, and Xue Yantuo has no chance of winning if he really fights.
If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!
These words are a wise saying that has not changed for thousands of years.
In the eyes of Dadushe, Li Tang is a foreign race, and now that Xue Yantuo is getting stronger and stronger, once Li Tang feels the threat of Xue Yantuo, there will be a vicious battle between the two sides, and Li Tang must not be given any chance to start a war before he is completely sure.
Therefore, in the face of such questioning, Dadu Sheh didn't dare to confront it head-on, so he could only show weakness and said: "General Du, don't listen to the nonsense of Yugushe, this is originally a horse in my clan, and it was taken away by him first, and I just took it back." ”
Du He smiled: "I don't care about this, leave everything to your majesty." I will accept the horse first, and you will follow me to see Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty make a holy judgment. He waved his hand, and didn't give Dadu and Desire Valley a chance to speak, and directly let people take Tianma away.
Generous and desired, he wanted to speak.
Du He's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't you believe that Your Majesty can handle it impartially?" ”
The two looked at each other, and Du He pulled everything on Li Shimin, not giving them any room to speak against at all, so they could only acquiesce wordlessly.
This is the way smart people speak, in fact, the identities of generosity and desire are not low.
Dadu Sheh was the prince of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan, and Yugu She, who was also a member of the royal family of the Eastern Turks, came to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy. For their arrival, Li Shimin asked the prince to receive them, and their status was definitely not under Duhe.
But Du He had an advantage everywhere, eating them to death, and he didn't even have a chance to speak.
When the horse passed by him, Duhe couldn't help but reach out and stroke the mane on its back, and as soon as it went down, the silky mane was as soft, soft, and smooth as a beautiful woman's hair.
Suddenly, Pegasus' hind hooves kicked Duhe without warning, and the lightning-fast kick made a sound that broke through the air. If you kick it this time, the meat must be rotten.
At the moment of kicking, Du He seemed to teleport, his body moved a foot away, and his hind hooves kicked into the air.
Tianma tilted his head and seemed to glance at Du He, snorted at the sky, and seemed to say: "Human, how can you touch the hair of this handsome horse?" ”
Du He laughed out loud unexpectedly, Liema had seen a lot, and it was the first time he had encountered such a fierce one.
Tai Chi Palace, Imperial Garden.
Du He found Li Shimin and told him what happened.
Li Shimin was busy walking birds, and after listening to Du He tell what happened, he also became interested: "For a horse, the Eastern Turks fought a battle with Xue Yantuo on the grassland?" Really? "As an emperor, he is well aware of the dangers of military disasters.
Therefore, Datang's use of troops is deliberate, has a clear strategic purpose, and never fights meaningless battles.
The war for a horse seemed to him incredible, even unbelievable.
Du He told Li Shimin about the appearance of the heavenly horse, and also said that the horse's head resembled a rabbit's head, and said with a smile: "The rabbit-headed horse looks a little cute!" ”
I didn't want Li Shimin to hear this, but he showed a moved look, and he glanced at him and said, "You kid haven't read Bole's "Soma Sutra", right?" Bole said in the "Soma Sutra" that "the rabbit and the fox, the bird and the fish, get these four things." Needless to say, 'I want the head of the rabbit and its shoulders, the grass of the fox and its ears, the eyes and neck of the bird, and the fin and spine of the fish.'" Therefore, this horse first looks at the horse's head, and the rabbit's head is the most precious. There are countless types of horses, but the rabbit-headed horse is the king of the genre. ”
It turns out that according to the shape of the horse's head, Bole vividly divides the horse into straight head, rabbit head, concave head, wedge head, half rabbit head and other types, among which the rabbit head is the most outstanding.
Running for thousands of miles for a few days, trekking through mountains and rivers is like flat ground.
Li Shimin tapped his finger on the desk and said: "It is not only a rabbit-headed horse, but also the best breed, no wonder the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo will fight each other for it......" He glanced at Du He and said: "You have taken a fancy to that horse, and you want me to come forward to help you?" ”
Hearing this, Du He was also enlightened, and smiled, "Hehe" smiled, "The son-in-law has this heart, but it is said that the horse's character is extremely strong, and no one in the entire Eastern Turks can tame it." The son-in-law has never practiced the art of horse taming, and he doesn't know anything about it, so he can't be sure if he can succeed. But with such a divine horse, I think it should be worthy of my loyal and brave people of the Tang Dynasty, not some guys from the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo. Whether it's the son-in-law's or not, the son-in-law really doesn't care, but it must be my Tang Tiger General. Good things, should be unique to my Datang. ”
Li Shimin also felt reasonable, stretched out his hand and wedged his beard and said: "I love to listen to the words of the virtuous son-in-law, BMW is worthy of a hero, such a good horse, I don't have a Tang warrior, what qualifications do the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo have?" It's just that...... After all, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so I can't force the messenger to congratulate me on something, right? I can't afford to lose face. ”
Du He secretly slandered himself, but he also had psychological preparations in advance, Li Shimin's self-love character is no longer a secret, there must be a perfect method, otherwise it is impossible to cooperate with him with his character, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law has a way here, not only can he let Desire Gu She willingly dedicate Tianma as a tribute to His Majesty, but also make the Eastern Turks split and weaken their strength." As for Dadu's place, the son-in-law can also make him speechless. ”
Li Shimin didn't care much about the ownership of the horses, but letting the Eastern Turks split it was in his heart.
Datang needs to recuperate and prepare for the next big war. The Eastern Turks are one of the uneasy factors in the Western Regions, and it is a great joy to be able to weaken the strength of the Eastern Turks without spending a single soldier while recuperating and recuperating.
Du Ho told his plan.
Li Shimin was stunned, dumbfounded when he heard it, and said in his heart: "It's really shameless...... It's kind of interesting. ”
