Chapter Thirty-Eight: To Guangyang

Guangyang County, Youzhou, the county of Guangyang, the gray stone wall is vaguely in sight, and the three fast horses step on the dry official road, shaking up the dust for a short time.

Among the three horses, a sturdy young man with a blue nose and swollen face, Zhang Fei, well, was beaten by his father.

From the heartless smile on Zhang Fei's face at this time, it is not difficult to see that this kid is definitely a typical example of remembering what to eat and not to beat.

Yanmen has been expelled by the Xiongnu nomadic entry, although there are also some Xiongnu troops in the Han land, but this kind of visit to the native Xiongnu ethnic groups outside the Saiwai is very rare, Zhang Fei is very interested in this, a playful mentality of going out to increase knowledge.

The Xiongnu were intimidated by Xianbei, and they also sent the Xiongnu to seek refuge in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the border pass did not send a request for the transfer of troops to the Youhe area, obviously, this Xiongnu ethnic group should be a marginalized small tribe.

Speaking of the Xiongnu, the general impression of later generations of them was that they were barbaric, fierce, powerful, and cruel.

But in fact, during this period of time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this ethnic group that was blown to the sky by later generations is a bit suspected of being beaten into dogs.

The Xiongnu first originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is a bit ridiculous to say that they could only obtain living resources by plundering because of their poor living environment.

After all, they owned a vast grassland land, and in that BC era, everyone's living environment was generally the same.

It is not appropriate to say much about the specific evaluation of this ethnic group.

In short, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xiongnu plundered China, and then, Guan Zhong gave them a vote and drove them away.

The melee of the Warring States period played a dog brain in the land of China, and naturally no one had time to target the Xiongnu, which also gave the Xiongnu a chance to breathe and reproduce, and took advantage of the fire to rob the land of China.

Subsequently, the kingdoms were united, and the First Emperor built the Great Wall to prevent the Xiongnu.

The old Qin people scolded the Huns and scolded, and in the face of the fierce reputation of the old Qin people, the Huns also had to shrink their eggs.

And the period when the Xiongnu became famous in the real sense should be the hot time when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were pinching.

No one greeted them again, and the Huns began to take advantage of the fire to rob again.

After Liu Bang and Xiang Yu finished pinching, the land of China was almost trampled on.

At that time, the Xiongnu wolf was in full swing, and Liu Bang had to make peace with the Xiongnu, although it was claimed that the Xiongnu had lived peacefully with the Central Plains for 60 years, but they never harmed the Han borderlands.

As a result, in the period of Emperor Wu, the barbarian Liu Che began to catch the Huns and them to death, and he overturned the court of the Huns.

At the same time, following the Xiongnu, the Donghu Xianbei, who rose in the Mongolian steppe, also tried to make it impossible for the Xiongnu to take care of themselves. Xianbei also took advantage of the Han Dynasty to overthrow the Xiongnu and occupy the Mongolian steppe.

And in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to save his life, Dou Xian, who came up with a fresh idea to go to the Northern Huns, forced a vote to overturn the Northern Huns, and more than 200,000 people in the 81st Northern Huns surrendered.

Having said so much, in general, it is to show that the Xiongnu who were blown to the sky in later generations were good at robbing while the fire was in the face of the land of China.

And even though Huaxia experienced all kinds of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin and Han dynasties, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were really a little suspicious of being turned into dogs.

But they were scared into such a Xiongnu, regardless of whether it was a rebellion before the Three Kingdoms rose up in history, or a more distant Wuhu Rebellion period, there are their calamities everywhere.

This also caused Liu Cang's sense of the Xiongnu to be extremely bad and came to the Han to seek refuge? When it comes to the Huns, what Liu Cang subconsciously thinks in his mind is to grab if he can, and kill if he can.

The three of them walked together, since Zhang Fei was here, Liu Cang's existence was naturally indispensable, no more than Zhang Fei riding a war horse, but at this time, Liu Cang was riding a rented pack horse under his crotch.

The broad back is slightly concave, and the whole is even thicker than Zhang Fei's war horse, this is a horse mainly used to carry heavy loads, with quite good strength, but the agility and speed cannot be compared with the war horse.

In the previous life, many people understood the horses of the Han Dynasty, as if in ancient times, except for the war horses that carried people to kill, other horses were eliminated from the ranks of the weaker individuals, and the slag was unbearable, thin and weak.

But just like the pack horses that Liu Cang rids, including the puller horses with stronger pulling strength, they are actually different breeds from war horses in the Han Dynasty, and perhaps the analogy between cattle and buffalo is easier to understand.

They all have the advantage of being inferior to the war horse, and they are also an integral part of the military horse.

Hence the name, the main role of war horses is to fight, they are more flexible, more wild, not easy to be frightened, a little training, even the sword fire, but also dare to bite and collide with the enemy in front of them.

In the film and television works of the previous life, the war horses that were frightened at every turn and ran around the streets at every turn were absolutely nonsense.

If you scare a war horse, it is most likely to open its mouth to bite you, all kinds of hot blood, and give its owner the most suitable position to attack you.

Whoever comes up with the tactic of striking gongs and firing cannons to frighten the cavalry will definitely be scolded for being stupid, it is simply adrenaline pumping the war horse.

Among the mainstream horses today, war horses are undoubtedly the most expensive, which is understandable, for humans, things related to killing will always be more expensive.

In addition to war horses, pack horses and pull horses in the Han Dynasty are also independent horse breeds, which are more like Chinese natives than war horses.

They have stronger strength than war horses, and even stronger physique, they are mainly responsible for the baggage in the army, pack horses are good at carrying, and pulling horses are good at pulling.

These two horses are generally gentle and timid, and it is basically impossible to form an elite cavalry, and there are many deficiencies in the frontal battlefield, but don't think of them as weak.

In the folk pack horse and pull horse have the irreplaceable value of war horses, and in the construction of development, city, city defense and other projects, they are also the protagonists.

It's not that people are reluctant to do their work, but what they can do, war horses can't do it at all.

People in this period paid attention to war horses, as well as to the pedigree of pack horses and horses.

If you find a wild man in a pack horse or a horse, congratulations, it should be able to sell for far more than a normal warhorse.

How do you say it, how do you think those so-called Absolute Shadows, Lu, and Dark Clouds and Snow came about?

A simple war horse, no matter how optimized the bloodline, it is still a war horse, and it cannot have both the strength and tolerance of a pack horse and a pull horse.

Although people are more concerned about the production rate of war horses, it is the so-called fight, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

If you encounter a more special pack horse, pull a horse, there are still many people who are willing to use war horses to match them, and if you have a weak personality, you will lose, what if you have a violent temper?

Different from the chaotic horse system in later generations, the pack horse ridden by Liu Cang has a stronger body than Zhang Fei's war horse, except for the shorter body hair, the body is somewhat similar to those war horses in the European Middle Ages.

is different from Zhang Fei's mind to play, Liu Cang is really thinking about whether he can go to the inbound Xiongnu to fight the autumn wind.

Because they set off one day late, it is estimated that the Xiongnu team has approached Guangyang, and there will be Han envoys there to contact them, who may arrange their lives, and may even mobilize troops to help them regain their original pastures.

It was also the destination that was changed to Guangyang, in addition to Liu Cang and Zhang Fei, there was also a Liu Bei who borrowed a war horse from Liu Deran's house, and he was preparing to go to Guangyang to meet friends.

Speaking of which, Liu Cang was also quite speechless to the old man of Liu Deran's family.

Liu Yuanqi, Liu Deran's father, is also the uncle of Liu Cang and Liu Bei.

You must know that his war horse is the only war horse in the village, and usually except for letting the villagers practice riding, Liu Deran wants to ride out to make waves, Liu Yuanqi will not agree.

And Liu Bei said that he would lend it out.

Cai Yong's differential treatment of Liu Cang and Cai Yan can be said to be patriarchal, so Liu Yuanqi's closeness to Liu Bei is really a little difficult to understand. Or can it only be said that Liu Yuanqi prefers Liu Bei's paragraph?

From Liu Cang's point of view, it is no wonder that Liu Deran is more resistant to Liu Bei, and if he changes him, I am afraid that he will knock Liu Bei eight times a day.
