Chapter 174: Alliance
"You don't need to say much!" Duke Zonghu glanced at Zhao Fangjie, his advice today seemed to be a bit much!
In normal times, who would dare to say so much to the Duke, especially in front of outsiders!
Zhao Fangjie immediately stopped talking, but a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, which was only noticed by Xia Xu, and no one else paid attention!
"I'm giving away five thousand bloody horses!" Zong Hu said again.
Sweaty BMW!
Zhao Fangjie was stunned!
Under Zong Hu's hands, it is second only to the tiger's mount!
How precious it is!
Sweat and blood BMW has a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hairs, light steps, great strength, fast speed and strong endurance.
The horse's endurance and speed are astonishing, and they can travel thousands of miles in a day, but they also sweat like blood from their shoulders. Therefore, it is called sweat and blood BMW.
Although the sweaty horse is fast, it is slender, and in ancient times, generals preferred to choose stout horses when riding horses!
The body is tubular in shape, with a narrow chest, a long back, shallow ribs, a long phalangeal area, a slightly narrow but strong posterior area, and a slightly longer buttocks with a muscular angle of inclination. Jainnails are tall, long, and muscular!
The shoulders are long, the curvature is good, and the shoulders are clean!
The fur is shiny and thin.
Sweaty BMWs are usually tall and full and graceful, with a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hairs, light and elegant steps, slender and graceful body, and lined with a curved and high neck to outline its perfect body curves.
The sweaty BMW is very thirst-tolerant and only needs to drink water once a day, even in temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius, making it particularly suitable for long walks.
In addition, the horse's shoulder and neck sweat glands are developed, and the horse is often wet after sweating.
In the autumn of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a prisoner named "Profiteering" who caught a bloody horse in the local area and presented it to Emperor Wu.
After Emperor Wu got this horse, he was ecstatic and called it a "heavenly horse".
And composed a song, the song said: "Taiyi tribute is under the heavenly horse, stained with red sweat and dregs." Cheng Rong and stumbling thousands of miles, now Anpi Xilong is a friend. ”
Only a thousand-mile horse could not change the quality of domestic horses, and in order to obtain a large number of "sweat and blood horses", the ancient regime had two wars with the Wan Kingdom in the Western Regions at that time.
Although the sweat horse is fast, but it is slender, relatively speaking, the weight capacity is not strong, in the ancient era of cold weapons, soldiers on horseback to fight, armor, hand-held weapons, the total weight is quite large, more willing to choose stout horses.
And because of the harness, sweaty horses cannot be driven!
"He still said that he rode a war horse, but he did not untie his clothes. ”
"Tu Pei damaged the golden chain mail, dusted the brocade robe, and fed the roar of the warhorse. ”
"The bell rings, the war horse gallops, the drums are beaten, and the husband is enthusiastic. ”
War horses are neighing!
Suddenly, the city gate opened, and the three-way army horses rushed in, without any support. This is Shenhou's plan.
"And Shangguan dared to go deeper, Li Duo was a scheming, and more than 10,000 people entered the Yumen army, and more than 1,000 military horses. ”
If he doesn't get along, I will take Jingzhou with the great momentum of the army and horses.
"If there is any concurrently capitalist, take fifty people, go to Liuhe County, look west, and see a team of military horses coming from the northwest, and the banner is not like a captive, nor like an officer or an army. ”
"Zhuang Gong played on the spot, ordered the sacrifice foot to lead a military horse, and listened to his cheap actions. ”
It can be seen from this that the strength of the sweat and blood horse is second only to the Pegasus! The Pegasus is a galloping horse, without horns and wings. In order to express the difference between the Pegasus and the Pegasus, clouds are often drawn underneath the horse, reflecting that the Pegasus can ride the clouds. Its shape is like a white dog and a black head, and when it sees a person, it flies, and its name is called Tianma, and its song is self-proclaiming.
Shenmadang came from the northwest. It is good to get Wusun horses, and its name is 'Tianma'.
And Dawan sweat blood horse, Yi Zhuang, renamed Wusun Ma said 'West Pole', named Dawan Ma said 'Tianma' cloud. ”
"Pegasus out of the northwest, from the east. ”
"Alfalfa follows Tianma, and Pu Tao chases Hanchen. ”
"Refers to the northern yellow dragon drink, from the West Tianma. ”
Two hundred miles to the northeast again, it is said that the mountain of Ma Cheng, there are many aragonites on it, its yin is more gold and jade, there are beasts, its shape is like a white dog and a black head, it flies when it sees people, and it is called a heavenly horse.
It's too much, under the heavenly horses, stained with red sweat, foaming and ochre. Zhi Lifu, Jing Quanqi, Floating Clouds, and Rushing Forward. The body is with you, thousands of miles away, now you are safe, and the dragon is a friend.
"Suddenly, I saw Taiyi coming to meet him in front of the bed. ”
"Sincerely feel sad every day, Taiyi is to send heavenly horses from the sky, squandering thunder and lightning. ”
It belongs to Kuisu, one of the seven stars in the West.
"Wang Liang five-star, in Kuibei, in the middle of the river, the Son of Heaven is also a royal official. Its four stars are called Tiansi, and the next star is called Wang Liang, also known as Tianma. ”
"Midsummer Moon Praying Crow"
"Praying Cricket, a Pegasus. ”
Uncle Xu is called a heavenly horse in the cloud world. The head of the cover is full of arms, the neck is long and the body is light, and its line is like flying, like a horse.
There is a beast on Macheng Mountain, which looks like a big white dog.
The hair on the head is black, and a pair of wings grow on the back. When it sees a human, it soars into the air, and people call it a Pegasus. It is also said that there is an animal called "Chenghuang", which lives in the far away White Republic of China in the west, looks like a fox, and has a meat horn on its back, and has a lifespan of thousands of years. Some people say that this animal called "Chenghuang" looks like a unicorn, and others say that its body looks like a horse, and it has the wings of a dragon on its back.
For the god of war, there are many, showing the martial spirit of the Han nation. The most important of these horse gods is Fengxing, the incarnation of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty. Tianma has the immeasurable courage of not fearing strong enemies, not afraid of sacrifice, and striving for progress, and is an idol worshiped by soldiers and one of the most important totems of the Han nation.
Pegasi are personified and deified horses, so the expressions of the horse warriors are particularly vivid, some close their eyes in reverie, some whisper, some laugh, and some are extremely ......angry. The shaping of the heavenly horse is obviously different from the realistic horse, and it is more peaceful and happy, showing a very happy appearance, so it can also be called "the big happy horse".
A large number of horse warriors showing the great happiness of Anping have been unearthed in the Wuwei area, indicating that there were frequent wars in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Hexi area, and many troops were stationed.
Taoism was popular in the Han Dynasty, and in addition to the Hexi region, Da Lema was unearthed in Sibei and other places. The vivid appearance of the horse warriors shows that the ancient Chinese people lived not only in reality, but also in mythology.
In short, no one has ever really seen this legendary animal, and it is not clear what it looks like.
However, the saying that Chenghuang is a horse with wings was the most popular in ancient times, and if it is according to this statement, Chenghuang should also be a kind of "heavenly horse". "Riding the Yellow" was also called "Flying Yellow" in ancient times, and it is said that the Yellow Emperor rode the "Flying Yellow" and ascended to heaven to become an immortal.
The great writer Han Yu once wrote the famous poem "Flying Huang Teng, you can't care about the toad to refer to the moon".
Someone who made a fortune still uses the idiom "flying yellow and Tengda".
There is a picture of a tiger biting a monster's thigh.
The youkai raised its arms in a frightened struggle, and at the same time, a winged Pegasus galloped forward.
In ancient times, in order to fight the military needs of the northern nomads, the imperial dynasty attached great importance to the domestication of horses, not only encouraging the common people to raise horses, but also the official breeding of horses.
During the emperor's reign, the imperial court set up 36 horse farms in the Ganxi area, raising 300,000 horses.
Emperor Wu was an emperor who loved horses like his life, and when he got the good breed horses of Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions, he was very excited to give him the good title of "Heavenly Horse".
There is a horse called "sweat and blood" in Dawan country, which is better than the horse of Wusun country, and it can travel thousands of miles in a day. Because of the red color of the sweat that this horse sheds, it is named "sweaty horse". According to legend, the sweat horse is the descendant of the "heavenly horse", and later landed in the world and became a kind of horse, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to trade with the golden horse in order to get the "sweat and blood horse". He sent a Han envoy to Dawan to buy horses with gold and silver treasures, but the king of Dawan not only did not sell the horses, but killed the assassin envoy and robbed the property!
Soon, Emperor Wu sent an expedition from Yumen Pass to Dawan, crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the vast desert, walked more than 10,000 miles, and brought back more than 3,000 good horses after breaking Dawan.
Because the Dawan horse is taller and stronger than the Wusun horse, Emperor Wu renamed the Wusun horse "West Pole", and put the laurel crown of "Tianma" on the head of the "sweaty horse", and excitedly wrote a poem with the title of "West Pole Tianma Song" to celebrate the matter of getting a horse from the Western Regions.
The name "Pegasus" is just a metaphor, and although it is very fast, it is nowhere near as fast as a true Pegasus with wings and can fly in the sky!
Horses are highly revered, and in Han portrait lines, horses are the most expressed, successfully depicted, and most infectious animals.
In that era when only knowing the male flying and not knowing the female lurking, in the era of making meritorious contributions and consolidating the frontier, the horse is a symbol of the prosperity and decline of national strength, the capital of a wealthy family to show off its wealth, and the auxiliary image of being born with heroes, flesh and blood, natural success, and power and martial arts.
In ancient times, the number of military horses was the most important criterion for measuring a country's comprehensive national strength. The so-called "country of a thousand multipliers" and "the respect of ten thousand multipliers" attach so much importance to horses because horses can not only pull vehicles, carry goods, cultivate and pull plows, but also are the basic tools for military struggles and transportation at home and abroad!
The second rhyme Zizhan and Zi by the view of Han Ganma, because of the discussion of Bo Shi painted Tianma depicted in Khotanese flowers and dragon eight
Ruler. Look at the clouds without being connected to the head of the wire.
The west river is made of pu grape brocade, and the double pupils are clamped between the ears and the cone.
Long catalpa sunset
Try the heavenly step, and know that there are four poles that have no way to go.
The electric mountain is deep and stable, and it can withstand the white jade of the pearl.
Until now, the Longchen Continent has transformed the horse from a love horse to a deified horse, and with the help of rich imagination, a pair of wings have been installed on the horse, so that the mortal horse, which can only run on land, has become a "heavenly horse" that can fly freely in the sky fairy world.
Run wild.
In the minds of the human race, the Pegasus has become an extremely convenient tool for ascending to immortals.
Because of this, the Terrans created the image of "Pegasus".
In the ruins of Changshou Guan, a white jade round carving artwork of "feather people riding heavenly horses" was excavated.
The image of "Tianma" can also be seen in the Nanyang Han portrait stone, in front of which is a tiger biting a monster trying to obstruct the path to immortality, and behind is a "heavenly horse" galloping in the clouds. The soul of the owner of the tomb is about to ride a "heavenly horse" to ascend to heaven.
Of course Xia Xu knew all this, because in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, there were many races riding Pegasus!
"Okay, then I'll take it, this is our belief in an alliance!" Xia Xu said with a smile.
Ally!
Duke Zonghu is overjoyed!
He just wants to form an alliance with Xia Xu!Otherwise, why would he bleed so heavily!
"The widow is willing to meet the king, meet each other, and go away in an alliance, and the widow's wish is also. ”
"Liang Gonghui ransomed the Yuan Tiger with two thousand catties of silver and two thousand taels of gold!

The second of the poems of the Heaven and Earth Society is selected from the Three Rivers and the Water Song, "The earth is born in the Sanji River, and there are many brothers in the alliance of righteousness." ”
"Once the alliance of the same body and the same force is established, there will also be the alliance of the same state, the same religion and the same species. ”
Another form of alliance is mostly the combination of forces for the common good.
Conclude an alliance for the common good, attack and defend the alliance|Whoever is in my alliance, after the alliance, the word is reconciled.
The people who concluded the alliance princes in May, the alliance to.
Alliance, vassal states swear to conclude an alliance with blood. Covenants are made between nations and between people.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of excellent precedents for alliances in the Longchen Continent!
The princes of the Qiuqi Marquis League said in Kuiqiu, all the people who are in my alliance, after the alliance, will be good.
In the eleventh year of Xianggong, in the autumn and July, he was not allied in the north of the capital.
"Although I know that the Four Seas Alliance has been in force for a long time, it has not been armed with the Central Plains. ”
"The words of the alliance are still there, and the peak of the hidden Lufeng has not been forgotten. ”
"The sacrificial foot said: 'Qi and Song Yuan are not close friends, all because of the entanglement between the Wei Hou, although the alliance is not the original intention. The lord is now under the king's order and distributed in Qi and Lu, that is, the Marquis of Tulu entangled the Marquis of Qi and cooperated to fight the Song. ’”
"The Son of Heaven was buried in July, the same track was completed, the princes were in May, and the alliance was reached. ”
"Huan Wen is the hegemon, the contract alliance, the Spring and Autumn Period, the big thing is also. ”
"The newcomers to the alliance can take a look at it first. ”
The apes and cranes in the mountains are wide, and the gulls and herons of the alliance are neglected. "Ming Li Zhen Gu Chong'an climbed the building to say goodbye poem two, "Don't listen to the sound of chickens to dawn, mountains and rivers are allies." ”
Qingbao photon demon passed on the mandarin duck and white gull, "The alliance is a good trip, and the town is free and free." ”
And the alliance between Xia Xu and Duke Zonghu is simply an alliance!
Since then, Zonghu has had a strong backer!
It's just that now he doesn't know that he is next to the big tree, he just thinks that forming an alliance with Xia Xu now is an extra certainty of confrontation with the bloodstained duke!
In the final analysis, it is still for the Eastern Sui Kingdom!
