Chapter 391: The Dragon Among Horses
Seven days later, the envoy of the Northern Dynasty came to Lidu, this time Xinghou did not accompany him, only Liu Quan came. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the way, the envoy and his entourage had heard the news that the Western Dynasty had obtained the Tianma herd, so when Liu Quan arrived in Lidu, the first thing he did was to ask Han Feng to take him to the horse farm to "open his eyes".
In ten days, the Pegasi have gradually become accustomed to the life of the horse farm, and the fat that ran away a few days ago has also grown back, and the fur is green or white, red or black, and it is shiny from beginning to end, and from a distance, it looks like thousands of fine brocades spread out in the sun, and it is almost impossible to open people's eyes.
Han Feng learned from Qingqiu's mouth that if a horse is more than a zhang long, it can be called a "dragon". The length of the Chihua and Wuqi horse breeds is basically about eight feet, and the height is around five feet, and there are very few who can be called "dragons", in Han Feng's eyes, they are selected from the horse kings, and there are very few people who can meet this standard, for example, among the several horse kings in Xiji Mountain, those who are too long are only nine Zhuo, and they may be comparable when Xiaozhuo grows into adulthood.
However, Pegasi can be called "dragons" almost all of them, and although Yaya's posture is relatively strong, it seems to be quite "weak" among its kind.
Along with Liu Quan were Qi Yan, the new empress of the Northern Dynasty, and Wei Wei, the guard captain. Wei Wei was overjoyed and angry, and Liu Quan and the two of them faced these thousands of Pegasus, still wearing a wooden mask on their faces, but Qi Yan was a straight person, when he looked at Pegasus, his eyes were jealous and surprised, and his face was blue and white.
Looking at Qi Yan, who was dressed in military uniform, sometimes heroic and not allowed her eyebrows to be bearded, and sometimes her willow eyebrows were upside down and domineering, but when she was talking to Liu Quan, the little bird acted like a little woman, Han Feng laughed in his heart, and secretly wondered how the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Dynasty would feel if they saw this queen. When I think of the Northern Dynasty, I naturally think of the Western Dynasty - his own queen is not much more mature than Qi Yan.
Of course, he also thought of Mingxi.
After all, Liyu is only a superficial queen, and although he is willing to be Wanrou his wife, deep down in his heart, he also knows that Wanrou cannot sit in the position of a mother. If it is appropriate, after all, Mingxi is more suitable.
He searched for Mingxi in the envoy brigade of the Northern Dynasty, only to see one carriage after another behind the brigade, which was covered by a blue cloth curtain, and he could not see the situation in the carriage at all. If Mingxi was there, then Mingxi would naturally be in these cars, but dozens of cars with the same appearance made his plan to "steal people" completely fail. Even if he could feel the breath of the car, the rut depth of each car was exactly the same - presumably Liu Quan arranged a woman of similar physique in each car in order to be foolproof.
Han Feng's mind was not on the horse farm, and even when the snow green horse ran towards him, he was still a little indifferent.
"It was a real eye-opener. Liu Quan slowly came down from the back of the cirrus iron li, he was handsome for several months, and his whole body was tanned a lot, but his body was also a lot thinner. It can be seen from the protruding hands of the bone joints and the purple and cyan blood veins that burst out slightly, that the influence of Ziying Han Shisan on him is deepening day by day, and it can be called poisonous.
Liu Quan slowly took two steps forward, raised his hand to touch the back of the snow green horse, but the other party's nose twitched, and he ran away as if he smelled some disgusting breath. Liu Quan smiled helplessly, looked back, and saw Wei Wei staring at Xue Qingma with a straight face, his right hand always resting on the hilt of the knife hanging on his left waist, as if he was ready to cut off the horse's head at any time, while Qi Yan smiled at himself gently, as if he couldn't see the embarrassment of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty at all.
Liu Quan took a few more steps and found a slightly thinner mare, but the other party did not wait for him to get closer, so he ran to the side of the snow green horse.
Han Feng said, "It's useless." They weren't really subdued, so how could they let someone unrelated ride them?"
Liu Quan said: "If even I refuse, how can I let ordinary soldiers control it, and what is the use of asking for them?"
Han Feng said abruptly: "I didn't let them be controlled by ordinary soldiers in the first place. The Western Dynasty wanted not cavalry, but horsemen. After he finished speaking, he casually made a move to Xue Qingma. After the battle of "Tongma", there has already been a tacit understanding between this person and a horse, Xue Qingma shook his mane, raised the sky and roared, and in a blink of an eye, the originally disorderly Tianma herd acted in an orderly manner, and it was actually lined up into a phalanx that could not be seen at a glance, and it was really no different from the soldier array.
"Horsemen? Liu Quan sneered and sneezed, "It's freezing outside, it seems that there is nothing to see." It's better to go to Lidu to talk about things earlier, I haven't been home for a long time. ”

The meeting in Lidu was not as needle-to-needle as the last meeting in Fengguan Mangcheng, and it was full of gunpowder. Because without the intervention of Marquis Xing and Marquis Mang, the two emperors knew that they could not decide anything alone, and they talked about inconsequential topics. Han Feng still talked about how he harvested these Pegasi herds, but he simplified the specific process - he didn't want Liu Quan to understand his comprehension of the formation, and he didn't want to show too much strength in front of Liu Quan, for three reasons. On the one hand, Mingxi is still in the hands of Liu Quan, and on the other hand, the possibility that he and Liu Quan will become enemies in the future is too great.
And Liu Quan's account of the battle of Luoyan Pass gave Han Feng a new understanding of him.
"You also know that the north of Luoyan Pass is a meadow, and in terms of cavalry, no one in the world can beat the Rong Qiang wolf ride, so we didn't encounter any obstacles, so we hit the pass. Who knows what kind of 'eighteen consecutive arrays' were placed at the pass, which seems to be specially aimed at fire and thunder. We only blew up a dozen thunderbolts, and the mountains on both sides cracked, and then the underground currents poured in from nowhere, carrying the rocks and mud with them, and drowned all the wolf riders. ”
Liu Quan said indifferently, but Han Feng, who had experienced a hundred battles, could feel immersive. During the battle of Menshan Xiaoguan, he had seen with his own eyes the tragic situation of the soldiers of Futao City who were swept away by the flood, and the terrain of Luoyan Pass was more dangerous than that of Menshan Xiaoguan, and the water source was on the cliffs on the left and right, and most of this formation was listed by Mingxi, and her attainments in the formation at that time were much higher and deeper than Duren, so of course this water potential would be a hundred times more fierce.
The wolf riders may not all be drowned, but thousands of casualties are inevitable. However, compared to the lives of these thousands of people, he still cared about how Mingxi fell into the hands of Liu Quan.
Han Feng then asked, "Later, didn't you win in the end?"
Liu Quan said: "With this defeat, the next thing is to retreat." We retreated again and again, almost fifty miles away from Changmen Mountain. At the top of the meadow, because the wolf rider was not brave, we and Zhan Dai became a stalemate. ”
