As a guest of honor, Ding Yang naturally walked with Xiao Chaoqing.

And the Khitan is worthy of being the overlord of the steppe at this time, and any horse pulled out is extremely miraculous.

In the world thousands of years later, the horses that Ding Yang has ridden are all bad horses when traveling to film and television attractions. Where can it compare to the horses ridden by the nobles of the Liao Kingdom in front of them, but they all feel bright when they see it.

"Good horses, they're all good horses!" Even the horses pulling the cart are incomparably superb, not to mention how magnificent the horses ridden by Xiao Chaoqing's guards under their crotches are!

At a glance, none of the hundred and ten horses had variegated manes. All of them are a water of black, and the shortest horses are at least 15o cm tall and 16o cm long.

Xiao Chaoqing saw that he liked it, looked up to the sky and laughed and made a promise: "What are these horses?" In the royal tent of my majesty, there are many good horses. When you arrive at Linhuang Mansion, you can choose from any real person. ”

"Okay, then it's a deal! When I arrive at Linhuang Mansion, the king will choose a few good horses for me! ”

"The men of the steppe would rather shed blood than lie and deceive. If the real person can't choose a good horse that suits his heart, Xiao Chaoqing will screw off this head and give it to the real person as compensation! ”

"What do I want your head for? King Xiao was also joking! But I believe that under the Khitan tent, how can you not pick out a few good horses! ”

"Hahaha, of course! Silk, ceramics and ironware are not as good as the Han people, but when it comes to good horses, if I Khitan recognizes the second, who dares to call the first in the world? ”

The return journey this time was quite long, and Xiao Chaoqing directly gave his mount to Ding Yang to ride.

I have to say that Xiao Chaoqing's horse is named Taxue, and it is really dark and airy, and only four of the horse's hooves are covered with white. Running fast, it was really a dark cloud with snowflakes glittering.

Ding Yang was originally a person who couldn't ride a horse, and after a thousand years, he only rode a few horses, mainly for fun.

Usually someone leads the horse in front of him, and he walks slowly on the horse.

But now it is obvious that you can't ride a horse like this, and the equestrian skills of the nomads of the steppe are a must. Basically, they don't know how to walk yet, and they have learned to ride horses first.

Even though many of the Khitan nobles were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, they all learned Chinese characters and spoke Chinese one by one. But no one has left behind the kung fu of horseback riding, even the Khitan nobles with the deepest degree of sinicization are also excellent equestrian skills.

Fortunately, Ding Yang practiced the kung fu of Xuanji Qi Lock continuously every day, so his own induction was very sensitive, not to mention, and the coordination of his body limbs was also extremely good.

It only took half a day to learn to ride a horse at a crooked and oblique beginning, to the state of almost gluing together under the horse. This degree of progress immediately frightened all the Khitans.

Obviously, I didn't know how to ride a horse at the beginning of the morning, but by the time I set up camp in the afternoon, I was already better than anyone else.

Even if there is indeed a good master who carefully teaches and guides, and can continue to practice at any time, this kind of progress is too scary, right? It is completely to be able to see progress in God with the naked eye, and after a while it will be a new state.

In addition, Xiao Chaoqing asked him, and he spared no effort to give him personal guidance, or let the best escort demonstration of equestrian skills under the tent.

This is the kind of strongman who is an old master of horseback riding, and can complete it on horseback no matter how much he eats or sleeps. Ding Yang really learned a lot of tricks from them that have long been lost.

Coming out of Tokyo City, passing through Xiangzhou along the Yellow River, going to the Daimyo Mansion, and arriving at the Xijin Mansion out of the Hejian Mansion, it is considered to have officially entered the metropolis in the Liao Kingdom.

Xijin Mansion is the seat of Nanjing Dao in the Liao State, and Nanjing Dao basically covers most of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and some of them are within the jurisdiction of Xijing Dao.

If you go north after passing over the province of Setsu, you will see the Great Wall that has been built since ancient times. It was originally a place to defend the border during the Qin and Han dynasties, but it was dedicated to the Khitan by Shi Jingjiao and became the hinterland of the Liao State.

Along the way, Xiao Chaoqing has always been full of interest, instilling the customs of the Liao State into Ding Yang, and naturally it is indispensable to tell the majesty of the iron hooves of the Liao State.

I also have to admire his very good memory and knowledge. No matter where he passes, he can tell the corresponding historical allusions. Even when and when those wars were born here, and what exactly happened at that time, you can say what it was.

Ding Yang was not lonely along the way, and following the pace of the mission, he gained a lot of knowledge.

Along the way, whether it was the officials of the Song Dynasty or the officials of the Liao State, they all respected Xiao Chaoqing very much.

After stepping into the territory of Liao, especially after crossing Nanjing Road and going north. Along the way, you can often see nomadic herdsmen, as well as herds of cattle, sheep and horses.

After traveling on this prairie for a long time, Ding Yang felt that his mind was much broader.

He has been there a lot of places thousands of years later, but it was all the roar of the mining machines in the factories and mines. How can there be such a situation where the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep at a low level, it is really refreshing to watch.

The more he went, the more Ding Yang's perception of Liao strengthened his impression.

Originally, I thought that the Liao State and the Song Dynasty were in full force in the north and south, and the country must have been established for more than 200 years, and it must have entered the state of agriculture from a nomadic state. I never thought that after seeing it with my own eyes, it was not like this at all.

The territory of the Liao Kingdom is not like the villages in the Song Dynasty, and the smoke curls in the evening. Sometimes you walk here for a few days, and you can't see people at all.

In addition to the savannah, it is also the savannah. There are many herding tribes, but there are very few farmers who farm.

On the whole, it is still semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian. In fact, the nomadic tribes far outnumber the farmers who grow them, and most of them are still on the move.

Some towns in Liao are not as lively as small villages thousands of years later.

These so-called towns are simply fenced off with some wooden fences, barely making up the appearance of a market. Not to mention the city walls, in some places there are not even wooden fences.

Ding Yang looked at it and grinned, and he didn't know how to evaluate this situation.

But Xiao Chaoqing was very proud to introduce to Ding Yang where and where he was born in what kind of fierce war. At the beginning, the army of the Liao State defeated the rebellious tribe in that part.

How powerful the tribes that lived here were, how many tents and horses there were; Where was the tribe that originally occupied the most fertile water and grass, how was it in the first place, and how was it swept away by the Khitan.

The cattle of that tribe are good, the sheep of that tribe are delicious, the men of that tribe are good at grazing, and the women of that tribe are supple, anyway, Xiao Chaoqing always has something to say.

Originally, I thought that these towns in Liao Kingdom had no civilized atmosphere at all, but later, with Xiao Chaoqing's introduction, Ding Yang slowly understood. This may be the characteristic of the savannah, and all that can be used to tell the story is iron and fire.

There was no concept of construction at all, except for looting and war. As long as there are knives, horses, and people, it is enough.

No matter how good the construction is, it still needs to be abandoned when the water and grass are not enough for grazing. There is no need to build at all, and the whole prairie is everywhere where you can settle down.

Along the way, Ding Yang can be regarded as having seen the diet of these Khitan people, and he is really a little unaccustomed to eating.

Large pieces of beef and mutton are grilled over the fire. After taking it down, one person divides one piece and starts eating. The more elegant ones also use knives to cut meat, while more people simply grab and bite and eat directly.

The pieces of meat are basically very large, and they are said to be barbecued, but in fact they are not cooked at all.

So Ding Yang watched these people tear and eat half-baked, and the meat was accompanied by mare's milk wine or spirits from the Central Plains.

A sip of meat and a sip of wine, and at most some naan. It's also big pieces of round pies, each the size of a basketball. Drink wine and eat meat while eating some naan cakes.

Finally, Xiao Chaoqing was a little more gentle, and he also took care of Ding Yang's taste, and asked his subordinates to cut the beef and mutton into small pieces and barbecue. But this kind of rough lifestyle, Ding Yang still feels fresh for three days and two days, and he can't stand it after a long time.

I watched them eat these half-cooked beef and mutton, and a lot of the meat was still blood-red. Ding Yang finally understood that when the Mao Song Dynasty heard about the Khitan cavalry, he would feel sincerely afraid.

According to the scientific research results of later generations, nomads have eaten meat for a long time, and their muscles are more developed.

Just like athletes thousands of years later, their nutritious meal is basically a small amount of salt and oil, and then beef and chicken as the staple food, in order to ensure a good state of exercise.

Ding Yang has also heard of steaks in Western food, which seem to be best cooked or medium-rare. It is said that all the nutrients can be preserved in this state.

If the meat is completely cooked, there are many amino acids or other nutrients such as iron, zinc and calcium.

People eat meat like this, but the people in the Song Dynasty all eat rice and wheat, and the physical fitness between the two is indeed incomparable. Even if the dishes of the Song Dynasty are delicious, they are really not as good as others in terms of nutrition.

Of course, meat-based diet is not good for healthy longevity, and a light diet is more conducive to health.

However, in today's world, it is clear that there is no point in focusing on health maintenance, and the average life expectancy is very low. Ding Yang felt that if he wanted to establish a new Song Dynasty in the future, the meat on the grassland should be introduced to ordinary people on a large scale.

Since she couldn't get used to eating these things, Ding Yan simply took out all kinds of good things from the storage ring to eat.

Even foods produced thousands of years later are far superior to these half-cooked meats in terms of taste alone.

So whenever Ding Yang took out something, it would cause the entire mission to exclaim. He's not stingy either, and he's sure to let these people taste something new, no matter how much.

Along the way, I have to say that the top and bottom of the mission have great respect for Ding Yang. Ding Yang treats them, of course, not without being interesting. Good wine and delicious food, I dare not say that there is everything, at least it is varied.

The more he went, the more awe everyone felt about him.

Ba Miao real people are really extraordinary!
