Chapter 30 Talent Gained
However, for Hu Sizheng's evaluation, Luo Shixin was a little dissatisfied, what is general?
He has a deep affection for Chibi, although he doesn't think that his favorite horse is like Chitu and Wuqi, the best in the world. can be said to be average, but it can't stand it.
"Tell me, my bare huss is no slower than any horse, no worse in endurance than any horse, and not so brave as he charges, and not inferior to any horse he has ever seen, how can it be called average?"
Hu Sizheng was not angry, he looked at Luo Shixin and said without flinching: "The general has heard the errand, not your red horse, but in the same breed." If I'm not mistaken, this red horse should have come to the savannah. His father is one of the best wild horses in the world, and his mother is probably a high-quality mare specially selected by the steppe people to breed the blood. He was worried that Luo Shixin would not understand, so he deliberately explained: "Wild sweaty horses can almost be called horse kings, and only a few people can tame them as mounts. As far as I know, Xiang Yu's black horse and Lu Bu's red rabbit are this kind of horse kings. It takes a lot of chance and luck to tame the King of Horses. The steppe people can't be tamed if they are captured, so they will sprinkle aphrodisiac drugs in the place where the king of horses is haunted, and prepare mare to borrow seeds. There is a very small chance that the king will be lucky with a mare and conceive a cub with the blood of a horse. And the horse cub usually becomes a sacred horse that grows up with the son of the chief of the steppe tribe, and follows him to conquer the world. The general's red horse, this is how it should have come. As for why it fell into the hands of the general, I don't know. ”
He continued: "Sweat and blood horses are precious, but they still exist in the far west, northwest, and northern steppes. There is no shortage of sweat and blood horses in my Central Plains, but ordinary sweat and blood horses may not be comparable to the red horses of the generals. After all, it has the best father, and a carefully selected mother. This also means the red horse of the great general. Born extraordinary, the owner has an unmatched strength of ordinary horses. But a middle-aged man, embarrassed to compete with a child? ”
"Ugh!" Roth was speechless.
Hu Sizheng suddenly said excitedly: "If I guess correctly, the great general has already practiced the art of integrating man and horse and the red horse, and the great general's martial arts are not right in the world." Under the spear, there is no enemy in pairs. So it's also customary to solve the enemy in three or two moves. ”
Luo Shixin agreed: "This is nature, we march and fight. Deal with hundreds or thousands of enemies, any opponent. Whether it is the opponent's general or a pawn, he must be killed in a short time. Only in this way can casualties be reduced. Solve battles as quickly as possible. ”
Hu Sizheng suddenly laughed: "I know. I'm right, the master is too rigid. After laughing, he danced and said: "Even because of the mentality of the general, when practicing horse warfare, I will not practice the moves of fighting the enemy for a long time, and the main move is to break out and kill the enemy." Over time, your red horse has also been impressed, and it is exceptionally strong in explosiveness. Better than all the horses I've ever met. Other features, because they are not properly trained. Su zhì can only be said to be average relative to his bloodline. ”
Luo Shixin heard Hu Si say this, and there was really some truth. I don't know when he started, he would feel particularly happy when he fought against the enemy on the horse, as strong as Xi Jun's buyer, and let him fly out with one move, if he didn't choose to dismount and fight at that time, but drove the red horse to stab again, Xi Junmai may not be able to take his two moves.
The explosive power of the red horse and his own explosive power were combined, and as the spear stabbed out, that strength was really something that few people could resist head-on.
"There's some truth to what you're saying." Luo Shixin nodded.
Hu Sizheng's eyes were red, and he was almost moved to tears: when he was arguing with his master, almost no one was on his side, but instead reprimanded him for his stiff wings, bullying his master and destroying his ancestors, and only Luo Shixin was the only one who really said that he was reasonable.
Luo Shixin didn't like ink either, recognized Hu Sizheng's level, and asked directly: "I can accept you, but what can you help me?" I don't have a shortage of grooms to take care of my horses ......"
Hu Si said with a straight face: "I am not a horseman, he decided to take a different path from my master. He thinks I'm wrong, and I'm going to show him what I'm doing. His horse breeding virtue based on the equestrian research of the ancients is correct, but there are thousands of roads, and the road I chose is not necessarily wrong. The bloodline is indeed the key to the excellence of the war horse, but even if the stallion can be bred again, the number is limited, and it is impossible for all the war horses to have a unified excellent bloodline, so the training of the war horse's own ability is also particularly important. Just like a cavalry charging into battle, this kind of cavalry needs explosive power, impact power, and the power to increase speed to the extreme in a short period of time. Then I think it is possible to sacrifice its ability to run long distances, and focus on the development of explosiveness, impact and short-distance acceleration of the horse, and maximize the horse's ability in this area, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the horse cavalry. Similarly, if you need to run for a long distance, then you don't need such a strong explosive power and impact power, as long as you focus on training the endurance and endurance of the war horse, and the ability to run long distances. ”
"But if I need to maintain a certain amount of running ability, but also need a good horse with bursts, impacts, and short-range speed, can you train me out?" Luo Shixin couldn't wait to arrive.
Hu Si said with a bitter face: "This excuse is powerless, different horse bloodlines have different characteristics and performance." Just like the Hequ Horse, the Hequ Horse is a war horse specially cultivated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this horse is tall and strong, and it is most suitable for the mount of the cavalry who charges into battle. But he grows in areas with abundant vegetation and a temperate climate. You can't endure hardship, you can't endure the cold, and you can't bear bad weather. The general did not ask about the Han Wu Emperor in the past years to conquer the Huns, the cavalry 140,000, respectively, by the general Wei Qing, the hussar general Huo to the sick to conquer the Huns, that battle of the Han Dynasty even victory, Wei Qing chased to Zhao Xincheng. And Huo Hussar led the army to the north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Hou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, pursued and killed to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and fought until Hanhai, but hundreds of thousands of war horses died one after another because they could not stand the bad weather. So much so that the Han Dynasty had no horses to use, so he could only give Li Ling 5,000 foot soldiers and let him go straight to the Xiongnu Khan's court, but he was pursued by the Xiongnu cavalry and annihilated. ”
When he said this, he said, "Not all war horses are like the general's red horse or the princess's divine horse, with excellent bloodlines and can excel in all aspects. Different horses have different characteristics. So I've always felt that it's not about relying on bloodlines to be perfect. It's better to take the imperfection to the extreme, and the uncomfortable horse that runs thousands of miles will give up letting him run thousands of miles and train his strengths. If you need to run for a thousand miles, you can change to a horse suitable for a thousand miles of running, according to my place, there is a kind of horse in the depths of the grassland, it is not tall, and its strength is not strong. But the body is stout, the limbs are solid and powerful, and the physique is rough and strong. Hard-working, not afraid of cold, can adapt to the very extensive feeding management, strong vitality, can survive in difficult and harsh conditions, even if it is given to eat rough food, it can also survive tenaciously, this kind of horse is most suitable for long-distance galloping. ”
Luo Shixin knew what kind of horse Hu Si was talking about, it should be the Mongolian horse that a group of steppe beasts endured to succeed in the future, and when Genghis Khan went west, he relied on the amazing speed and endurance of the Mongolian horse to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy, so as to win. This trick is simple and direct, coupled with the Mongolian good shooting and hard-working self-discipline, but it is extremely effective and unpleasant.
He was about to speak, but he heard Hu Sizheng continue: "The Great General wants me to train an all-round divine horse, but I can't do this. But if the general wants to have an all-round knight, this is not impossible. As long as the general had that capital, he would equip each cavalry with two or three horses, one of which would be used to charge into battle, and the other one or two to gallop. Even if a war horse is not good at long-distance running, there is no reason to lose to a long-distance horse with a heavy load if it does not bear weight. ”
Luo Shixin's eyes lit up, he didn't expect this basic truth.
"Good!" Luo Shixin clasped his hands together and said, "From today on, you will be the horse supervisor of my Governor's Mansion, responsible for the training of all war horses in the army. Pick out different types of war horses, first choose 500 most suitable war horses for charging and 1,000 most suitable for long-distance running, and train first. "He doesn't know how to train horses, but he can imagine it. This horse taming is not a day's work, and satisfying his personal guards is the first element.
Hu Sizheng saw that Luo Shixin actually handed over all the war horses to him to deal with, and let him be fully responsible, and said deeply: "Hu Sizheng is trusted by the general, and he will definitely train the best military horses for the general and help the general make contributions." ”
These words were categorical, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the ordinary face looked particularly solemn with the pull of the cheek muscles.
The training of a strong army is not an overnight thing, and Luo Shixin suddenly had another premonition: he felt that with the help of Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, Mo Hu'er, Wang Xuance, Ma Zhou, Liu Renliang, Xi Junmai, and Yan Pei in front of him, he would create an army that would make the Turks terrified of all foreign races.
Sending Hu Sizheng away, Luo Shi Nobunaga spat out and said: "If it is true that three hundred and sixty lines are the champion, this Hu Si is a person who is a great talent, and Madame is right, he is exactly the talent I need." ”
Pingyang said: "As long as I can help you, it is enough." ”
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Luo Shixin smiled maliciously: "That's not possible, you have done me a great favor here, how to repay it!" ”
Pingyang was a little simple and didn't understand.
saw Luo Shixin half-pulling and half-pushing, and took her to the bedroom, and understood everything. (To be continued......)
