~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ma Han returned to the lobby, he listened to the endless praise inside, and asked with a smile, "What is so interesting?" ”

Liu Ai said with a smile: "Ma Jun came just in time, I am talking about famous horses." ↑ Top Novel, x."

Fu De also said: "Xian Yi said that he has a big horse, famous, strong and strong, can travel five hundred in a day and three hundred in the night, and there is no right in the world." ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Brother Fu has an overreputation, before Ma Jun, how dare he say anything about famous horses?" ”

Xu Youqi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "At least before the general's 'silver arrow', he didn't dare to call the horse." ”

As soon as this was mentioned, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly changed subtly.

The three people in Hebei all know the origin of this horse, but they only know one and do not know the other. They only knew that the horse was snatched from the lord, but they did not know the specific process. Yuan Shao would not tell his subordinates and his son about the fact that he had been captured, and the only person who witnessed it that day was Tian Feng, unless his head was in the air, he would publicize it. Therefore, the brain supplement of the three people was snatched by Ma Han in the chaotic army, so they were angry.

Ma Han sat down calmly, drank the cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Silver Arrow, it's old." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Yuan Xi and the others changed suddenly, and the air in the banquet became cold.

That's right, Silver Arrow is old. When Ma Han snatched this horse from Yuan Shao, he was seven years old and in the prime of life. After six years, the age of the tooth is thirteen. According to the average life expectancy of horses of 30 years, it is equivalent to the age of human beings, and it has long passed the peak of the body. In recent years, he has rarely ridden this horse again, and only uses it as a training horse, wandering around the training ground of the mansion. It's not just about maintaining horsepower and body fat, but also about keeping your riding skills at the best level.

What Ma Han said sounded honest, but in the ears of Yuan Xi and others, it was not the same thing at all. Because the silver arrow was Yuan Shao's mount. In context, the sentence "Silver Arrow, old" can also be interpreted as "Yuan Shao, old".

Imagine how the three of them are not angry?

Liu Ai and the other courtiers didn't expect that Ma Han was just like a toilet, so when they turned around, their words became so sharp, and they hurriedly played a round game: "The silver arrow is still strong, and the shadow is like the wind, all of them are good horses." Famous horses with heroes, so that we and other good people envy, hahaha...... Come on, come on, drink. Drinking. ”

Ma Chao didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said loudly with the strength of the wine: "Fang Xianyi mentioned the matter of horse racing, which is very agreeable." Chao also has a good horse, named 'Sha Li Fei', and Ling Ming also has a fast horse. The name is 'Stormy'. Since each has a good horse and it's a cool autumn, why don't I have a race? Duel? ”

As soon as Ma Chao said this, Xu You and Xin Ping were raising their glasses and drinking, covering their faces with their sleeves, looking at each other, tacitly.

Yuan Xi was overjoyed: "Meng Qi really knows my heart, but I don't know Ma Jun'......"

Ma Han smiled lightly: "It's rare to make you have this Yaxing, how can you be a person who spends your fun." However, as Titan said before, the Silver Arrow is old and unbearable, and the Titan will choose another good horse to accompany him. ”

"Naturally, that's nature, hahaha......" Yuan Xi smiled very happily, showing the essence of an official N generation. But is that really the case?

Ma Han doesn't care what the facts are, and he doesn't care what Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi think about the father and son, in short, he is next - this is Luoyang instead of Yecheng, see what tricks you can play.

……

On the seventh day of August, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn breeze is cool, which is a good weather for horse racing.

Early in the morning, many people in Luoyang, including many dignitaries and nobles, went out of the city from the Shangxi Gate to watch this rare event. Along the way, the carriages and horses are full of chariots and pedestrians, all flocking to the mountain north of Luoyang.

Bishan is the end of this horse race.

Starting from the sunset pavilion west of the west gate of the upper west gate of Luoyang, to the evening pavilion on the west slope of the mountain, the whole journey is twenty miles, not far and not close, and most of them are straight. On the way, you need to cross bridges, cross slopes, wade through water, cross forests, and have all kinds of terrain, which is more suitable for obstacle races.

Horse racing in this era, like the racing cars of later generations, is always exciting. Of course, if you want to watch the whole race, you don't just have to sit at home or climb the top of the city, you have to climb – climb the mountain.

Undoubtedly, climbing to the top of the mountain, with a wide view, is the best place to watch the event.

Under the watchful eye, three of the four horse racing protagonists: Yuan Xi, Ma Chao, and Pang De are in place.

Yuan Xi's shadow is a yellow fat horse, eight feet tall, golden coat, short ears, broad neck, slender torso, deep and broad chest, and hooves as big as a bowl. Originally, this horse was given to Cao Cao by Yuan Shao as a sign of friendship over the years. However, because in this time and space, the Battle of Guandu broke out two years in advance, so Cao Cao was also insulated from this famous horse.

Ma Chao's Sha Lifei is a silver-white horse from the Western Regions, with a tall and well-proportioned physique, a small and clever head, big eyes, a high head and neck, strong limbs, and a shiny coat like silver.

Yuan Xi knew at a glance that this horse was only afraid that it would not lose to his own peerless shadow, and in comparison, it was Pound's sassy horse, which seemed to be slightly inferior.

The wind was a pure white river horse, in good condition, and in the future Pound was called "General White Horse" by the soldiers, so because of this horse. This is also the second famous general of the Three Kingdoms to have the title of White Horse General after Gongsun Zhan.

Many officials and generals gathered around the three BMW horses, praised them, and made their own predictions. Most of them tend to win, of course, half of this is because of Yuan Xi's identity, and the other half is that the Absolute Shadow is indeed excellent.

Although Yuan Xizhi was not here in today's race, he couldn't help but be proud, and said with a smile: "I don't know what a good horse the horse hussar rides, it is said that his husband Yu Guojun gave a famous horse named Tawu, which should be today's horse race......

Before the words fell, the crowd of onlookers suddenly stirred, and they all looked back, and even after Xu You and Xin Ping turned their heads, they couldn't turn back, and they sighed halfway: "It turned out to be this magic horse." ”

Yuan Xi was shocked, because he was surrounded by the crowd, and he couldn't look past the crowded heads for a while, so in a hurry, he turned over and got on the horse, and now he saw it clearly.

The morning sun is like a wheel, jumping up the plains, and a male war horse that is on fire seems to have escaped from the golden wheel; The mane flies like a flame dances; The long tail flicked, like a flowing flame sweeping through the air. At this moment, in all the pupils, only a fire was beating. When it galloped closer, it suddenly neighed, roared like thunder, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles around the horses, and they actually wanted Yuyu to retreat and leave the arrow, and many people were turned off the horse, almost gnawing in their mouths.

The king of horses - red rabbit!

And the rider is also the dragon and phoenix among the people - the horse!

The Red Rabbit Horse, one of the great gains of the Battle of Ma Hun Xiapi, has now replaced the Silver Arrow and become the main war horse of Ma Hu. This is the first appearance of Chitu after becoming a mount of Ma Hu, and it really shocked the four.

Chitu is in Luoyang, in Hebei, and has a very high reputation. When Lu Bu ruled the court, the scenery was unparalleled for a while, as long as the government and the opposition saw the figure of the red rabbit, they knew that Lu Bu had arrived. After Yuan Shao unified Jizhou, among the several major battles he fought, in addition to the battle of the boundary bridge with Gongsun Zhan, the Battle of Changshan was the most well-known. And the biggest highlight of this battle is Lu Bu and his red rabbit.

Lu Bu among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses, but I have witnessed it, who cares about the rest of the horses? Therefore, Xu You and Xin Ping recognized this horse at a glance. Then, more and more people recognized the horse and were amazed, and it is believed that everyone will re-evaluate the winner of this race.

Ma Chao stepped forward and stroked the red rabbit's mane, envious: "Sure enough, it deserves to be a famous horse in the world, and my Shali Fei is also one of the best BMWs in Kansai, but compared with this red rabbit, it can be dwarfed." Gee! ”

Ma Han smiled: "Meng Qi seems to want it very much." ”

Ma Chao shook his head: "Only a general in the world can be worthy of this horse." ”

According to the generation, Ma Chao has to call Ma Han uncle, but the two are almost the same age, Ma Chao has always been arrogant, although he is very convinced of Ma Han's skills, but after all, he can't pull his face. Generally, unless he is in his own house, he will barely scream when his father is present, and most of the time, he is only called a general. Of course, Ma Han doesn't matter, in his heart, he prefers to treat Ma Chao as a brother.

Ma Han only wore a light moon-white narrow-sleeved arrow jacket today, with a bloody bow and quiver in the saddle, and there was nothing left. There are not many guards around him, only more than ten horses, of course, this is only on the surface, but the secret guards mixed in the crowd do not know how many.

At this time, Wang Yue slowly approached and said in a low voice: "I wish justice is gone." ”

Ma Han didn't look back, but said lightly: "Do you want me to send you more people?" ”

Wang Yue said categorically: "No need, just me is enough." Only one swordsman can find another swordsman. ”

"Okay, the person will be handed over to you, whether you live or die."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi's voice came at the right time: "If I had known that Ma Jun had this divine horse, Xi would never have dared to humiliate himself." ”

Ma Han turned his head, saw a face of regret and remorse, and said with a smile: "It is important to have a good horse, but people's riding skills are more important, and Xianyi has no chance." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head again and again and said: "It's not me Yuan Xi who destroys his own prestige, the Red Rabbit Divine Horse and the Liaodong Heavenly Horse, who is the enemy in the world?" ”

Ma Han squinted his eyes and smiled: "Borrow auspicious words." ”

At this time, Zuo Zhonglang announced the rules of Fude, four people, four horses and four runways, separated from each other, but they did not meet each other. The terrain of the four runways is different, and the difficulty is different, but they are all small, and it is fair and reasonable to decide who runs which track by drawing lots.

Although the red rabbit horse appeared amazingly and became famous, everyone knew in their hearts that fame is fame, and strength belongs to strength, not to mention luck. Before the end, no one dared to say that they would win, and there was still suspense in this event.

With the wave of the red flag in Fude's hand, the drum sounded, and the four of them knocked their feet and jumped out almost at the same time, kicking off the horse race. (To be continued......)
