Chapter 101: King Qin on Horses
The previous article said that "Fist Mao" was kicked and injured, and after careful investigation, it was found that Fist Hair Gang died in front of the two armies, and now it is changed to Qinghu.
Hearing the report from the guards, Li Shimin and Luo Shixin were shocked one after another.
The former's expression has changed, as a commander of the three armies who likes to charge into battle, Li Shimin's feelings for Aiju are not ordinarily good. He owns a total of six BMW horses, each with a unique meaning. In order to commemorate these six war horses, Li Shimin even asked the master Yan Liben to paint them personally, and specially used relief carvings to depict six war horses in front of his Zhaoling tomb, which was called the six horses of Zhaoling in history.
Among the six horses, Li Shimin's favorite is Qinghu.
There is no other reason, Qinghu is Li Shimin's comrade-in-arms who became Li Tang's god of war: in the first battle of the Tiger Prison, Li Shimin rode Qinghu and led 3,000 Xuanjia elite cavalry, straight into the 20-mile military formation of Dou Jiande's army, galloped left and right, crossed Dou Jiande and hundreds of thousands of troops, and captured Dou Jiande alive, thus forcing Wang Shichong to surrender, capture two kings in one battle, arrive at the Central Plains, and complete the great cause of Li Tang's unification.
Li Shimin also resounded all over the world because of this brilliant battle, and his prestige was so high that he forced Li Yuan, the emperor, to be rewarded when Li Shimin's military exploits were unrivaled and unrewarded, and specially created the position of general of Tiance for him.
The glory of that battle made Li Shimin find that his momentum had overshadowed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, so he also had a strange mind, coveted the not too distant position, and gradually moved towards a point of no return.
In that battle, Qingqi was hit by five arrows head-on, and he ran like thunder, showing extreme bravery.
It is because Qinghu has an extraordinary significance to Li Shimin, the most beloved, and the most treasured.
The foal was wounded, as if he were hurt, and hurried up to visit.
Luo Shixin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had heard the old man say that the red horse was full of wildness and was particularly tough, but he couldn't imagine that he was so strong, how long it had been, he had caused trouble, and he dared to kick any horse. Although he didn't know the meaning of Qinghu to Li Shimin, his feelings for Qinghu could be seen from his reaction.
But I didn't care too much about it, Li Shimin wouldn't give him face for a horse.
When he came to the line, Luo Shixin smiled dumbly.
Like a victorious general, Chi Bi held his head high, and the ground was wet, scattered with horse grass and horse brushes.
The green horse pulled the guards aside, and there were many scarlet marks on his body. The green horse was originally a pale variegated horse, and the scarlet blood stains were particularly conspicuous.
But Chi Bi didn't have anything to do, and he couldn't see the slightest scar on his body.
Li Shimin stepped forward to investigate the injury and determined that it was a skin injury, but the injury at the joint of the hind leg was the most serious, and he was afraid that he would not be able to run for three or four days, so he had a general understanding of the situation.
Luo Shixin listened to it on the side, and couldn't help grinning.
Li Shimin is the king of Qin, and his horse also enjoys the treatment of a king, and he has a full-time groom. As soon as Li Shimin got off the horse, a groom immediately gave him horse grass and combed his hair. Although Luo Shixin was extremely fond of Chibi, personally fed and groomed it, but it did not come to this point.
Two horses parked side by side have different statuses.
Chi Bi saw that someone on the side of the "partner" was grooming and feeding it, but he was alone, unhappy in his heart, pouted his buttocks, kicked at Qing Hu and kicked it away. then occupied the position of the green horse, eating horse grass in a hurry.
"The red horse is wild and untamed, and I hope His Highness will forgive me."
"It's okay, the wildness of this horse is really unusual." Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly, although he felt sorry for his beloved horse, he was broad-minded, and he didn't take this matter too much to heart, but looked at Chi Bi seriously, with surprises in his eyes. Originally, I saw that the red horse was a good horse, but now after careful study, I found that the red horse was actually a unique horse, which was only better than his own six horses.
"Good horse!"
Luo Shixin became vigilant and hurriedly said: "Chi Bi is indeed good, but it is a little worse than His Highness's Six Horses. He was duplicitous, but he didn't want Li Shimin to think about his baby. I remember that the history books record that this guy is very insidious, and he fell in love with the world's first book "Lanting Collection Preface" in the hands of the talented monk, and if he couldn't do it, he specially sent his ministers to deceive. It's not a good thing to let him covet it.
Li Shimin squinted his eyes and said, "What does the general regard me Li Shimin as a person, how can he covet your treasure." ”
Luo Shi said confidently: "It's hard to say! But he said: "The last general didn't think so, just told the truth, the truth." ”
Li Shimin didn't care, his attention was on the red horse again, and said: "Wheel variety, the general's red horse and the green horse are on par with each other. The key lies in the domestication method, the wild nature of the green horse has been completely eliminated, although it is as fast as the wind on the battlefield and has a lonely heart, but it is a little less aggressive. And this red horse is obviously also a trained war horse, but the owner of the war horse deliberately retains its wild nature. Make it aggressive, more powerful, and even able to go on the offensive with its owner. It's just more difficult to navigate, without a certain amount of horsemanship, without the approval of the horse, and without real strength. But as long as there is enough riding skills to control this kind of war horse, and it is recognized by the war horse, it will be stronger than a completely tame war horse in any aspect. This retains the wild war horse, which is a unique way of taming horses in the grassland. They are accompanied by horses day and night, and it is easy for them to be recognized by horses. This has a unique advantage compared to us. The general went east this time, and he got such a good horse, which made a lot of money. "Luo Shixin's riding skills and martial arts, he knows that it is only a matter of time before the tacit understanding with Chi Bi is recognized by Chi Bi.
It won't be long before he believes that he will be able to see a sharper and more unstoppable red figure on the battlefield than it is now.
"No wonder!" Luo Shixin was born in poverty, how can he understand the horsemanship of the upstream people. That's why I don't quite understand the mystery. After many days of getting along, I also found that Chi Bi was different from ordinary horses, very irritable, very savage, often bullied other horses, and occasionally there would be a situation of disobeying orders, which required him to be distracted and controlled: It turned out to be a unique wild nature: "This horse was given to me by Yi Nan, and it should be as His Royal Highness said, and that wild nature was specially retained." ”
"Yi Nan?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, his expression moved, he had always focused on the unification of the Central Plains, and he didn't care too much about the Turks. Now the great cause of Li Tang's unification has been basically completed. Turkism has become a big problem that Li Tang directly faced. Luo Shixin's brilliant Turkic strategy was discussed more than once by his mouth with his henchmen Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and the more he talked about the depths, the more wonderful it became.
Among them, the meaning and value of Yi Nan occupy a certain position in the grand strategy.
"General Shixin, your trip must be very exciting. You and I find a place to sit down, drink and talk about things, and talk slowly. ”
