Chapter 8: The First Horseback Ride
"The long clouds span three thousand miles, and they will make Xiaofeng break overnight. ”
This sentence is a poem written by Liu Zhanguo personally to Shi Changyun after the Battle of Xiaofenghe, which means that he praised Shi Changyun's bravery, and broke through the encirclement of Xiaofenghe one night after receiving the general's order.
This poem will never be forgotten by Shi Changyun for the rest of his life!
Not many people know this poem, and Liu Chu's surname is Liu, and then in connection with the rumors that Liu Zhan Guo left a young son before leaving, and it is estimated that the age is the same size as Liu Chu, so Liu Chu's identity is about to come out.
"The last general is ten Changyun, I have seen the major general!"
Shi Changyun's sudden move didn't anyone react, because no one could have imagined that such a seriously ill person would suddenly have such strength.
"Ten generals, please get up. ”
Liu Chu was startled, and hurriedly went to help Shi Changyun, you must know that Shi Changyun's current physical condition does not allow him to have such drastic movements.
"Daddy!"
October was also taken aback, and hurriedly ran over to help Shi Changyun's arm and pull him up.
"Are you really a major general?"
After Shi Changyun was helped to the bed, he couldn't help but ask again, although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it carefully.
"It's like a fake. ”
Liu Chu took out an iron plaque with the word "Liu" on it, which was the iron plaque of Liu Warring States' general, which was given to him by Zheng Yi before Liu Chu left.
This general's iron plate has long lost its original role, but it is very commemorative for Liu Chu, and it is also a very meaningful thing for some of Liu Zhanguo's old subordinates.
The moment he saw the iron plate, Shi Changyun recognized it, tears welled up from his eyes, and in an instant, old tears were rampant, he had followed Liu Warring States for so many years, and he would not mistake the general iron card.
Shi Changyun trembled and stretched out his hands to take the iron card to take a look, but thinking of the relationship between respect and inferiority, he still retracted his hand.
Liu Chu smiled and handed over the iron card, which also had a very special meaning to an old subordinate like Shi Changyun.
How high was the prestige of Liu Warring States at that time? At that time, the Liu family army, between the Tiger Talisman and the General Token, chose the General Token!
This is completely suspected of supporting the army and self-respect, or the evidence is conclusive, but at that time, King Chen also trusted Liu Zhan Guo very much, and he laughed at the courtiers' reports and righteous indignation.
Because King Chen knew that even if everyone betrayed him, Liu Zhanguo would not betray him.
Shi Changyun carefully put the iron card in his hand and rubbed it, his vision had long been blurred by tears, and he remembered all kinds of things in his heart that he had crisscrossed the battlefield with the general.
"Major General, where have you been all these years? A few of our old fellows have been inquiring about your whereabouts, and we all think that we have not been able to keep our own general, but we must protect our young general. ”
Shi Changyun returned the iron card to Liu Chu and said with some emotion.
When they heard that Liu Zhan Guo had left a young son before he died, a group of their old subordinates inquired everywhere, hoping to find their young young master, give him the best childhood, teach him the best kung fu, and make him the best general to take over Liu Zhanguo's position.
But they searched for fifteen years, but they couldn't find a clue, so they slowly slowed down the progress, after all, with the network of old subordinates like Liu Jiajun, fifteen years can be enough to turn over the entire continent, unless it was their general's wife who brought their young master to overseas Africa.
"I've always lived with my mother, we're doing well, and we have a lot of friends, and they were all my old man's subordinates, but I can't fight anymore, and my mother gathered them together. ”
Shi Changyun sensed a lot of information from Liu Chu's words, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the general's wife was really a charitable person, and she must have had a hard time for so many years, and she must have suffered a lot.
"Madame, is she okay, why didn't she come with you?" asked Shi Changyun.
"My mother is fine, she didn't come, I came to participate in the competition. Liu Chu replied.
"The contest to select the top 10 young rookies?"
Liu Chu nodded.
Shi Changyun sighed, "If the general is still here, can he engage in this kind of chicken feather competition? King Chen is really an ungrateful person!"
"Major General, our Liu family army is under your command, you just need to take out the general's iron card, and give an order, we will ......"
Liu Chu frowned slightly, and interrupted Shi Changyun's words, "Ten Generals, these words should not be mentioned in front of outsiders, my old man also has his own plans, if he fights a war for sixteen years, can he win half of the territory of the other eight countries? I'm afraid it may not be possible to fight for a hundred years, right?"
Shi Changyun was silent and didn't speak, but he was still aggrieved.
"Tenth General, I promise you that the glory that belongs to the old man of my family and the glory that belongs to our Liu family army will be taken back openly! I will take you and raise the glory banner of the Liu family army again!"
Liu Chu clenched his right hand into a fist and pressed against his left chest, and made an oath to Shi Changyun.
"The last general, swear to follow the general and the major general to the death!"
Liu Chu nodded, "Then take care of your illness, this is Lilu, and there is a prescription prescribed by an old Chinese medicine doctor who doesn't know if it's a liar, according to this prescription, you can keep you fine for five years, but in these five years, you have to find Yun Matsutake and Dragon Horn, otherwise it's still in vain." ”
Ten perfect darts in the backyard.
Liu Chu gave the prescription to October, and October asked people to take it down to study.
When the prescription was taken down, October suddenly drew his sword and put it on Liu Chu's neck.
"You can't be a pretend, right?"
Liu Chu was full of excitement, his heart was in his throat, he didn't expect October to suddenly attack, the sword at that time was less than 0.01 cm away from his throat, if he was not afraid, it was fake.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Chu still decided to tell the truth, because he was not a pretend!
"No, it's fake. ”
October nodded with satisfaction and put the sword back, "My father's old fritter has never looked away in his life, I just want to try you again." ”
October turned around, "Come with me, my dad has a gift for you." ”
Liu Chu followed with doubts.
"You're going to that draft?" asked October as she walked.
"Draft?"
"The Wei Kingdom has not fallen into such a competition to elect young talents, don't you think it's just a show? It's still an ugly show. ”
Liu Chu was silent, this is indeed quite embarrassing, Wei now has the largest territory among the nine countries, and the population is also the largest among the nine countries, but in terms of talents, it is a little lacking.
After Chen Guo changed the name of the country to Great Wei, there were no outstanding young people in the past ten years, but the other eight countries were full of talents and talents.
The current Wei State is all supported by the previous generation, but now the youngest military general is nearly forty-five, Wenchen is fine, but the general age is also forty years old, if it goes on like this, who else can Wei rely on in twenty or thirty years?
"Our Majesty's dragon body is also indebted, Xiao Nian, believe it or not, if there is no one to take the lead, in five years, the national strength of Wei will decline by at least one-third, and after ten years, it will decline by two-thirds, and after ten years, it will last for two years at most, and Wei will ......."
Xiao Nian?Liu Chuhuo looked at October.
"How do you know my nickname?"
"You just said it yourself. October said without changing his face.
"Really? Did I say that?" Liu Chu walked side by side with October, looking at her face from the side with a suspicious expression, not catching anything wrong.
"It's here. October pointed ahead.
Liu Chu retracted his gaze and looked ahead, it was a stable, there were no less than fifty horses in the eye, and there was such a large stable hidden in the Ten Perfect Dart Bureau.
"There's a horse in there, which my dad got more than three years ago, and if you can find it, it's yours. October said, pointing to the horses.
Liu Chu glanced at October obliquely, "Even if I can't find it, I will definitely give it to me." ”
"Can we not be so cheeky?" October rolled her eyes.
Liu Chu strode forward in the eyes of October, more than fifty horses were big and small, the smallest horse had just reached the waist of an adult, and the big horse could already keep up with people.
"Brother, which horse is the most special here?"
Liu Chu saw a groom who was bathing the horse, and went up directly to ask.
The groom looked at Liu Chu, and then at October who shook his head at him, and immediately ignored Liu Chu and continued to wash his horse.
Picking a horse, Liu Chu is still the first time, he doesn't know how to pick a horse at all, how to choose?
Liu Chu looked at it over and over again, and finally landed his gaze on a tall red horse.
The horse's whole body is red, even the mane and tail on the back are also red, the eyeballs of the eyes are also red, and the whole body is only the white whites of the eyes, and there is no other color except this.
This horse is a bit of a demon.
"It?" Liu Chu pointed to the crimson horse and looked at October.
"A bit of eyesight. "October is very perfunctory and appreciated.
"This is the Red-Blooded Dragonpony. ”
The red-blooded dragon pony, like a horse but not a horse, belongs to one of the alien beasts, not a demon, but with some wisdom, it can be regarded as a rare mount. It is rumored that the first clan was a member of the dragon clan, and later because of the weak bloodline, it gradually became a side line, and then completely broke away from the category of the dragon clan, and by the generation of the red-blooded dragon horse, it was no longer even a demon clan.
"You're going to have a red-blooded dragon pony. Liu Chu was a little surprised, this thing is not affordable for ordinary people, it can only be obtained by luck, and it may attract the covetousness of thieves.
"Wait, this shouldn't be ......" Liu Chu suddenly thought of something.
The mount of his old man, Liu Zhanguo, is a red-blooded dragon horse!
"It's possible that after the General's death, his mount was not found, or perhaps it was his descendant, and the red-blooded dragon foal had been found by himself three years ago, and it was still a cub when it came, as if it had just been weaned. "October came out with a piece of news.
October took Liu Chu to the stables of the Red Blood Dragon Pony, and October pointed to the horse's back, "Give it a try?"
Liu Chu was a little hesitant, he had never ridden a horse before.
October brought out the red-blooded dragon pony, then ordered someone to put on the saddle and handed the reins to Liu Chu.
"It's been domesticated for years, but it's up to you to subdue it. ”
For more than three years, the Red Blood Dragon Pony has been ownerless, and although it is superficially close to the people of the Ten Perfect Dart Game, in fact, no one can really lower it.
Zheng Yi taught Liu Chu a lot of things, although he also dabbled in horseback riding, but he never practiced it, after all, they couldn't get horses at that time.
"Good horse, you have to be obedient. Liu Chu gently soothed a few words in the ear of the red-blooded dragon horse, and then turned over and got on the horse according to the theoretical knowledge he had learned from Zheng Yi.
Not to mention, the action is quite coherent, no shame.
