Chapter 159: The Soul of a Warrior

Zhang Liao outwitted Pingyang and shocked Hedong. In front of him, the Xiongnu did not dare to play tricks with Huchuquan and Ahegui, and drove 5,000 war horses to Wu County, and traded 3.5 million catties of iron from Zhang Liao's hands.

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Liao led 6,000 men and horses from his headquarters plus 3,000 soldiers, a total of 9,000 men, and drove 5,000 horses back to Hanoi.

These horses were all free-range by the Huns on the steppe, many of them were native, had not been ridden and trained, were wild, and required people with considerable riding skills to control them, so they could not replace the foot strength of these walking soldiers. Just selected more than a thousand slightly docile horses from them to ride the soldiers who knew a little bit of riding skills, and drove the horses back by the way.

At the beginning of the sunny day after the snow, four or five thousand horses trampled on the snow, making a "creaking, creaking" sound, splashing pieces of white snowflakes. Like a wave.

Behind the horses galloping all over the mountains is the tiger rider with the sound of iron hooves "rumbling", and then to the back is the foot pawn, tens of thousands of horses are winding to the west, winding like a long dragon, magnificent.

In addition to asking Zhang Liao to return the "first camp" of Koji Yi and send a thousand war horses, Zhang Liao was crowned as a "rebellious general" and promoted Wang Shuang to a partial general.

"Haha...... This time I followed General Wen Yuan to Wu County, and the harvest was really not small, not only did I appreciate the general's strategy, but also changed from a lieutenant to a partial general, it was really worth the trip! Wang Shuang slowed down his horse. He sighed as he walked.

Zhang Liao smiled slightly: "Ziquan doesn't have to sigh, through the observation during this time, I think you are also a general, diligent in the art of war, and you will have great success in the future!" ”

"In the future, I will have to bother General Wen Yuan to dial more!"

Wang Shuang hugged his wrist and saluted to express his gratitude, and his eyes fell on Zhang Liao's mount. With his own experience in selling horses, Wang Shuang could see at a glance that the yellow horse under Zhang Liao's crotch was just an ordinary war horse, no better than an ordinary centurion.

"Oops...... Brother Wen Yuan. You have also been in the army for many years. Why is the mount so bad? ”

Zhang Liao nodded regretfully: "Yes, my mount is very ordinary." A few years ago, I had a good black horse, but when I was following Lu Bu to fight against the Kwantung princes, I was ambushed and broke a horse's horse. That's it. Later, this mount was chosen. Follow Lu Wenhou in Xuzhou. There is a shortage of horses in the south, and a satisfactory war horse has not been found. This yellow-maned horse is less than the above, but more than the bottom. I had to make do with the ride! ”

"This time I have made a great contribution with Brother Wenyuan, and the younger brother has nothing to repay, so I will give this war horse under my crotch to my brother!" Wang Shuang patted the mane of the mount under his crotch and said with a smile.

The sun shone on the snow, reflecting on Wang Shuang's mount. Zhang Liao swept his eyes, and saw that this was an extraordinary mount, with a slender and strong body, thick and powerful limbs, horseshoes inlaid on the horse's hooves, and the mane of the whole body was mainly white, but there were clumps of red manes, like flowers blooming on the snow, just by looking at the appearance, you knew that it was a peerless horse!

"How can this be done?" Zhang Liao hurriedly excused himself, "The mount is the soul of the general, the courage of the general, you are also a general, and you also need a good horse to help fight, how can I snatch love with a sword, this matter must not be mentioned, Zhang Liao is the kind of strong man who is difficult!" ”

Although everyone loves Maxima, Zhang Liao is not a person who has no advance and retreat, and resolutely refuses to accept Wang Shuang's gift.

Wang Shuang smiled heartily: "Haha...... Brother Hugh is embarrassed, as the so-called beauty is matched with a celebrity, and BMW is a hero. The elder brother has a strategic mind and uses soldiers like a god, how can he do it without a good horse? If you talk about using soldiers to fight, give advice, the younger brother is naturally not comparable to the elder brother, but I was born in Xiliang Longright, the ancestors of the previous generation of traders and horses, since the age of eight years old, the younger brother has been able to gallop on horseback, more than ten years, from my hands to sell more than 10,000 horses, on the eyesight of horses, I Wang Shuang is definitely an expert! ”

"Oh...... I can't imagine that Ziquan has such a ability, it's really disrespectful! Zhang Liao listened with a surprised expression.

Wang Shuangkong Xu Xing, the horsewhip in his hand pointed to the horses all over the mountains in front of him, and said loudly: "I will be in Yang County later." General Koji is about to send someone to receive the horses, so we should first select a few good horses in advance, and it is good to keep them and give them away. ”

"Five thousand war horses are a lot, but they were all sent by the Huns, and it is estimated that they have been selected, I'm afraid I can't pick out good horses, right?" Zhang Liao looked at Wang Shuang's horsewhip and said with some regret.

Wang Shuang smiled with a hearty smile: "Brother Wenyuan's words are wrong, judging from these words, for the way of Soma, Brother Tai is indeed inferior to me!" ”

"Oh...... Would you like to hear more? "Zhang Liao reined in the horse, and listened attentively.

"Brother, you see, only a thousand of the more than 5,000 horses have been domesticated, and the rest are all native and have just grown from foals to adult horses. What does this mean? This shows that the Huns did not have time to select, or disdained to choose. In this case, among the horses that have not yet been domesticated, there will definitely be great potential horses hidden inside, and if you look carefully, you will always find a few good horses. And now these war horses ridden by the soldiers do not need to be domesticated anymore, and they can be ridden if they are brought over, but they are eliminated after being selected by the Huns, and there will definitely be no good horses in them. To choose a good horse, you have to choose from the herd of horses that have not been domesticated! ”

Listening to Wang Shuang's words, Zhang Liao gave a thumbs up: "It makes sense, it seems that Ziquan does have a lot of insights about Soma, and Liao is more knowledgeable today!" ”

"Brother Wenyuan looks at my ability, I'll go to the herd and pick a few good horses to come out!" As soon as Wang Shuang's voice fell, he ordered the soldiers to prepare a lasso, clamped his legs on the "Snow Red" under the seat, and rushed out on his horse.

I saw that the "snow red" flew out like an arrow from the string, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into the group of horses, and everywhere it went, it was like a wave cracking and the horses neighed and roared, and ran forward. More than 1,000 soldiers on the periphery also rode their horses to follow, waving their whips outside, gathering these wild horses.

"Driving...... Drive...... Phew..."

"Boom...... ...... ......

All of a sudden, Wang Shuang's loud voice of the royal horses and the neighing and galloping of the horses gathered together and echoed in the wilderness.

Wang Shuang galloped back and forth in the herd, his eyes looking for a good horse like a falcon. After shuttling a few times, I stared at a cyan Dawan horse, only to see that although the figure of this horse is not very burly, but because of the age, it is estimated that it is only a little more than a year old, and if it is given a year, it will inevitably grow into a burly horse.

"It's really a good horse, I'm afraid this horse will be above my 'snow red' when it grows up, haha...... More than 4,000 horses can pick out such a good horse, which is already a great harvest! ”

Wang Shuangze's horse clinged to the green horse, waved the rope in his hand, and slapped it a few times in a row, but it failed, which made Wang Shuang a little surprised, "Tsk...... The little guy's agility and reflexes are really unexpected, and I like you even more! ”

Among the horses, in addition to this green-maned horse, Wang Shuang also fell in love with three other horses, a jujube red horse full of fire, a white horse as white as snow, and a gray adult stallion.

After a few times the blue-maned horse did not succeed, it happened that the gray horse passed by Wang Shuang, so he shouted and threw out the rope in his hand, which happened to hang on the gray horse's neck. Wang Shuang jumped up, bounced off his mount with agility, and landed on the gray-maned horse, and after galloping back and forth for a few laps, the gray horse knew that he couldn't get rid of the people on his body, so he had to be convinced, and no longer did useless struggles.

Seeing Wang Shuang riding a gray horse and galloping out of the herd, Zhang Liao looked at the horse carefully, only to see that its limbs were very thick, such a horse sprinted very explosively, and the horse's mane was evenly draped on the horse's neck, and the horse's tail was slender and graceful, which would ensure its coordination and beautiful appearance.

I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart: "Wang Ziquan is really a master of Soma, this shot is sharp and extraordinary, and it is really admirable to be able to pick out good horses from the horses all over the mountains." In this way, I can't ask for your 'Snow Red', so I'll give this gray horse to me! ”

"Haha...... Brother Wenyuan, don't be anxious, there is a better livestock than it fell in my eyes, but the guy was very vigilant, I took a few times in a row, but I didn't catch it. I'm afraid that it will scare it and affect its future growth, so I let it relax for the time being, so I caught this gray horse first, and I'll catch it later, and then put a few horses together, Brother Wen Yuan just choose! ”

After Wang Shuang finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers to tie the reins to the gray horse and put on the bridle. With a long whistle blowing, the 'snow red' followed, and Wang Shuang turned on his horse and rushed into the herd again, looking for the few good horses he liked.

After the three of them went in and out, Wang Shuang first caught the white horse back, and then the jujube red horse, and finally took a lot of effort to catch the blue-maned horse.

The four good horses were placed together, all of them were extraordinary, and Zhang Liao only praised Wang Shuang happily: "I am completely convinced of Ziquan's horse kung fu, and any of these horses you choose are much better than this yellow-maned horse under my crotch!" ”

Wang Shuang smiled heartily, but he was not modest: "Hehe...... Otherwise, how can I boast that I'm a great expert at Soma? After picking for most of the day, among these thousands of horses, only these four excellent horses can be selected. Even put a piece of my 'Snow Red', a total of five horses, any Brother Wen Yuan can choose, I will keep one, and give the rest to our son, right? ”

"That's great!" Zhang Liao nodded in agreement, rolling his gaze, ready to choose a mount. (To be continued......)
