In fact, when Huo Guang saw the horse, he had already noticed the three harnesses on the horse.

Takahashi saddle, horseshoe, stirrups!

may be a little different from his original design draft, but this epoch-making horse harness, Huo Guang can still see it at a glance.

And while he was staring at the three-piece suit.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words made Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing look at him one after another.

Huo Guang smiled awkwardly, then walked to the horse, pointed to the Takahashi saddle and introduced it to his uncle and brother: "This is called a saddle, which can help our cavalry sit on the horse in a more stable posture!" ”

"As for the two iron sleeves below, they are called stirrups, which are similar to the cloth sleeves that the Huns put on the horses, mainly because when the cavalry rushes to kill, you can borrow strength, and at the same time free your hands and fight better with the Hun cavalry."

"The last one on the horse's hoof is called the horseshoe."

Huo Guang briefly told his brother and uncle Wei Qing about the benefits of these three horse harnesses. As an elder brother, Huo Qubing naturally said with a doting face: "Sounds good, Huo Guang, did you come up with it?" ”

"Hmm!"

Huo Guang nodded.

At this time.

General Wei Qing asked curiously: "It seems to be a little familiar, could it be what you told me last time?" ”

"Amount"

Huo Guang was a little embarrassed at this time, if it was?

Isn't that a slap in the face of the general, saying that he has no eyes?

If not.

Do you always feel like you want to get rid of your relationship?

At this time.

When Emperor Wu of Han heard Wei Qing speak, he also asked, "Huo Guang, I also have a question for you." You came up with this good thing in the Nanda camp, why don't you contact me directly through the general, but through the hands of Sang Hongyang, contact me? ”

Boy!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really can't open any pot!

He didn't want to have a head-on conflict with his uncle, so Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, asked this question.

What does Huo Guang say?

However.

While Huo Guang was racking his brains for this, he was thinking about the wording.

The great general Wei Qing stood up at this time and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, this matter is no wonder Huo Guang, it is the problem of the last general. Last time, Huo Guang's nephew told me about this idea, but I vetoed it. ”

"It may be out of desperation."

"Huo Guangcai figured out his own way, handed over the letter to Sang Danong, and then submitted it to His Majesty."

When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, his gaze gently swept over Huo Guang, and he asked lightly, "Is that so?" ”

Huo Guang was a little nervous in his heart, but his uncle said so, and Huo Guang could only nod and say, "That's the case, Your Majesty." ”

He didn't want to point the finger at the general Wei Qing.

After all!

This is his uncle who is not related by blood, and in the future, he will still count on relying on his uncle's relationship to continue to live his chic life!

But my uncle himself said so.

Huo Guang can't admit it, if he says no, then what his uncle said just now will be suspected of bullying the king!

Bullying the king.

That's a capital offense!

But the problem now is that Huo Guang admits it, and the spearhead is pointed at the general Wei Qing.

Seeing Huo Guang nodding, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty immediately turned his gaze to the general Wei Qing, and snorted: "Such a good thing was almost strangled in the cradle because of you." ”

Wei Qing lowered his head and replied, "The last general is guilty!" ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, shook his head and said, "Wei Qing, others are getting older and more demonic, and the older you are, the more conformist you are, and you don't know how to be flexible." ”

"If you are really old, give up your place to the young."

"Young people are not like you, they are afraid to do things!"

Abdicate and give way to the young? What does Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mean by this, do you want to take Wei Qing under the knife?

To know.

The throne of the great general, but countless people salivate at it!

Huo Guang immediately arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's no wonder that the general, I didn't make it clear to my uncle at the beginning." If I had made it clear, my uncle would not have rejected my suggestion. ”

Meanwhile.

Huo Quai, who was a hussar general, also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, my uncle is not old, then Li Guang and Cheng are still able to fight, and my uncle's age is still young!" ”

Not old?

I'm not young anymore!

The ancients could call themselves old men at the age of thirty-six, and Wei Qing's age was naturally no better than the young Huo Quai.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that Huo Guang and Huo Qubing had come forward to intercede for Wei Qing, and immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" I didn't say that I want to dismiss the general, what are you asking for here! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Presumably, Emperor Wu of Han would not attack Wei Qing.

Huo Guang and his brother looked at each other and smiled, and then arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is our two brothers Meng Lang, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

"It's okay, who is it for? I know that I won't punish you, so I'm still here. You brothers, you are really carved out of the same mold. After Emperor Wu of Han finished speaking, he laughed casually twice.

After laughter.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said lightly: "Today, I called you generals from the Southern Battalion and the Northern Battalion over, the purpose is to test these harnesses designed by Huo Guang!" ”

"I want to see."

"How big is the gap between having harness and not having harness."

"Then you will be divided into two groups! One wave chose those with harness, and one wave chose those without harness. ”

"In terms of choice, I don't embarrass you, you can choose how you like."

"But when you're hunting, you have to be serious, don't let it, you know!"

Hear this.

Huo Guang understood that in fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still very inclined to this horse harness!

Even if he loses the competition, Emperor Wu of Han will think of a way to equip the war horse with these things.

But?

Will a horse equipped with a cavalry trio lose to a horse without it?

No way!

If you really lose, it's because the rider can't do it, not because of the three-piece harness.

At this time, the hussar general Huo Qubing said in a chic manner: "Since it is my brother who made the harness, then I, as the elder brother, naturally support it unconditionally." ”

"Uncle?"

"Do you want to choose a war horse equipped with these three harnesses to try hunting?"

Wei Qing smiled faintly and said, "Well, I also want to try how these three harnesses are." ”

Hussar General Huo Qubing immediately laughed and said, "Okay, that uncle has to be serious when hunting, I won't let you!" ”

Huo Guang frowned slightly.

How do you listen to what my brother means, is he going to compete with his uncle to hunt more?

But what Your Majesty meant, didn't you mean that there was a competition between those with harness and those without harness, and the hussar general didn't understand it, or did he simply want to compare with his uncle Wei Qing?

Just when Huo Guang was thinking about whether to remind his brother.

Emperor Wu of Han spoke first and said, "Okay, let's go and choose a horse!" ”

Huo Quzhi immediately pointed to the horse in front of him and said, "Then Your Majesty, the last general will be brave and want your horse!" ”

When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, his eyes turned to the horse he had ridden earlier, and said, "Heh, you can pick!" Okay, take it, who made you the general I fancied! ”

Huo Quzhi immediately smiled on his face and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Of course.

This incident is just a small episode.

Soon.

At the urging of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the hunting competition officially began, and the generals of the two military camps began to select war horses.

And the people who participated in the competition.

Not only generals, but also some outsiders. For example, Mrs. Li's brother, Li Guangli, who currently has no official position.

There is also Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger who made Chang'an City restless before.

Meantime!

Together with Li Ling of the Li family, he didn't know what method Li Guang used, so he also got him in to participate in the competition.

As for the rules of the hunting competition?

Very simple!

Because Shanglin Yuan is very large, everyone who participates in the competition stipulates that the prey is brought back within two hours, and the number of prey is counted in the competition.

Two Hours in Antiquity.

In fact, that's the equivalent of four hours now.

Of course.

Because considering that many people have to return empty-handed, there is no trace of prey in the upper forest garden.

At that time, the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shot horses and was scolded by Wei Qing, who was not reused.

Isn't it because there are no animal traces in Shanglin Garden, that sycophant Han Yan secretly released the horses raised by the imperial court for His Majesty to shoot as wild horses!

With that in mind!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially ordered people to buy a lot of animals to come in, and when the time came, he would arrange people to put them in the forest garden, let them scatter and escape, and the people who tried to hunt would not be embarrassed by each other.

This way.

After Huo Guang chose a war horse, he took his bow and arrows and rode his horse to hunt.

Meantime.

He was also feeling how much the three-piece suit had improved the cavalry's combat power.

Although the three harnesses are somewhat inconsistent with his original design, the functionality is still okay. Huo Guang rode on horseback, no matter how much he twisted, he would not fall off the horse.

This is the credit of Takahashi's saddle and stirrups.

was thinking about these things, and in a trance, he suddenly caught a glimpse of movement ahead, and when he was about to concentrate, his vision began to stare intently ahead!

Suddenly!

He found that on the road ahead, there were some people in the court, who were "releasing animals" similar to those in bamboo cages.

Tucked Courtyard.

During the Qin Dynasty, it was called Yongxiang.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty renamed it Yeting, which was under the jurisdiction of Shaofu. Most of the people under him were eunuchs who had been castrated.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, watching these people "release" the animals, and his heart began to understand.

It turns out that these are the targets of his own hunting.

If you go to find real wild animals by yourself, I am afraid that you will not know that you will find the Year of the Monkey.

After thinking about this.

Huo Guang immediately pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, bent his bow and arrows, stared at a prey, and chased after it.

Behind.

Those who participated in this competition also had their own prey.

Of course.

There are also some people who have their eyes on the same target.

It depends on who makes the most stable and ruthless shots.

And in the end of these people, Li Guangli, who is Mrs. Li's brother, smiled gloomily. He did not chase his prey with the crowd.

As he ran, he suddenly pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and galloped away in an unknown direction.

After a complete separation from those involved in the hunt.

This Li Guangli jumped off the horse directly and tied the reins to the trunk of the tree. As for the people, they lie on the ground, leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, leaning against the stones, enjoying the warm winter sun.

Seem.

He didn't care about this hunt organized by His Majesty himself!

Mrs. Li's family, who were still waiting in the Taiye Pool, didn't know about this situation.

I saw Mrs. Li looking at Li Yannian and Li Ji and asking, "Eldest brother, has he ever worked hard to practice martial arts at home?" In the past, my mother said that my eldest brother likes to be lazy, but I don't know if my temperament has changed! ”

Li Yannian and Li Ji glanced at each other, and immediately said, "Don't worry, the eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother of Zeng!" ”

"The eldest brother is studying the art of war every day at home, and he works harder."

"Its ambition is not comparable to that of our birds!"

On the side, Li Ji also opened his mouth and said: "Yes, sister, you have to believe the eldest brother." I think that the result of this big brother's hunt is definitely no worse than that of General Wei Qing. As long as Sister is willing to say good things for the eldest brother in His Majesty, our Li family will naturally be able to rise to the top! ”

Mrs. Li listened to what his two brothers said.

A smile immediately appeared on his face and said, "As long as the eldest brother changes his temperament, even if he can't hunt prey, I will say a few kind words for him in front of His Majesty." ”

"And you too."

"Don't follow your previous temperament anymore, I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime!"

Li Ji and Li Yannian nodded immediately and didn't say anything.

But!

Looks like.

Mrs. Li's words, the two brothers did not listen to a word.

At this time.

Emperor Wu of Han walked over with a spring breeze on his face and asked with a smile, "You three brothers and sisters, why are you talking so happily?" Let me hear it! ”

The three of them saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che coming over.

Immediately, he made a big salute and said, "The ministers (concubines) pay a visit to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, excuse me." ”

The words fell.

Li Ji and Li Yannian consciously took a few steps back, freeing up their seats to let their sister have a good chat with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che.

At this time.

Mrs. Li said: "Your Majesty, the concubines and the brothers in the family are talking about our eldest brother Li Guangli, guessing how much the results of his competition with many generals will be opened this hunt?" ”

"Oh? So how much do you guess Li Guangli can hunt? Emperor Wu of Han asked lightly.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "This concubine doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, what nonsense is this, guess what, I won't blame you for anything!" ”

Hear this.

Mrs. Li then said: "I heard from the brothers in the family that the eldest brother studied the art of war and practiced martial arts at home, so presumably this hunt should not be bad!" ”

"My brother said that he can even compete with General Wei Qing."

"But I think it's an exaggeration!"

"But come to think of it, even if it can't compare to the general, it should be not much worse than the rest of the generals!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han suddenly looked overjoyed and said with a smile: "If your eldest brother is really not inferior to Wei Qing, I will definitely make him a general!" ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her face immediately showed joy and asked, "Your Majesty, is this true?" ”

"When did I tell a lie!" Emperor Wu of Han said lightly.

Hear the words.

Mrs. Li then leaned over and said, "The concubine will act as the elder brother, and thank Your Majesty first." ”

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and said, "Foolish, you and I are a family, what do you say thank you or not!" ”

Hear this.

The joy on Mrs. Li's face was even worse.

And some people rejoice, and some people are sad. The biological mother of the crown prince Liu Ju, that is, the queen Wei Zifu, was watching the situation on this side from a distance with her children at the moment, and her face was not very good.
