Chapter 360: The Heart of Contempt
In the autumn of the fourth year of Yuanjing in Emperor Wu of Han, a Dunhuang prisoner named Qianlichang caught a sweat-blooded horse in the local area and presented it to Emperor Wu of Han. After Emperor Wu of Han got this horse, he was overjoyed and called it "Tianma". He also sang and sang, saying: "Taiyi tributes the sky horse, and it is covered with red sweat and foam and roar. He travels with thousands of miles, and now he is a dragon as his friend."
At the same time, there are also records of two attacks on the Dayuan Kingdom in order to seek blood.
According to legend, this sweat-blooded BMW can travel thousands of miles a day, and blood-like sweat will flow out from the location near the shoulders. However, except for some historical records and descriptions in film and television literature, almost no one who lives in later generations can witness its style and is difficult to distinguish.
No one knows whether it is the historical record is wrong or whether it is because of the general trend of hunting, continuous introduction and hybridization that has caused the pure sweat-blooded BMW to become extinct.
"The heavenly horse comes from the west, passes thousands of miles and returns to virtue, inherits spiritual power and descends to foreign countries. When crossing the quicksand, the four barbarians are patrolling."
This is Sima Qian's description of the sweat-blooded BMW in Records of the Grand Historian, and it is also the earliest record of the sweat-blooded horse land in Chinese history, and it is also the reason why Luo Qi has always believed that the sweat-blooded BMW is indeed true.
When Roqi heard the name of the Sweat-Blood BMW, he couldn't help but be quite interested and smiled: "Where is the BMW? Can the entourage take me to see the style?"
When the messenger saw Rochi's expression, he knew that the gift was delivered very well, and hurriedly said, "This horse is now outside the palace, so I will take the King of Yue to read it."
Roche quickly agreed and walked out of the palace.
Before they could reach the palace gate, they suddenly heard Hu Lulu's long horse neighing, as loud as a dragon's roar. Roqi couldn't help laughing, "You only hear the sound. You know that your ability is indeed a good horse. You are not bullying me."
The messenger quickly laughed and followed Roche respectfully.
When Roqi left the palace, he saw a BMW with red hair as red as blood standing outside the palace gate, with its head high and four hooves flapping as if to ride the wind.
Its limbs are long, and its muscles are like cast from steel bars. The fur is bright and energetic, like the fire of the blazing hell. When looking around, it is obvious that it is extraordinary, and many good horses everywhere are raising their heads, as if they are worshiping.
Interestingly, the part above the horse's nose protruded slightly outward, and its head was quite similar to a rabbit. It reminded Luo Qi of the first powerful general of the Three Kingdoms, the Red Rabbit, the mount of the ghost and god Lu Bu. According to legend, the Red Rabbit is full of fire and charcoal red and the head is rabbit-shaped, so it is named Red Rabbit.
Roche smiled softly and complained: "The part above the horse's nose looks like a rabbit."
Although he knew the name of Sweat-blooded BMW, he knew very little about Suma.
The messenger quickly explained: "Bole, the best master of the world's horse, said in his book "The Legend of Horses," "Get rabbits and foxes, birds and fish, these four things. Don't compare the rest." There is also a saying, "I want to get the head of a rabbit and its shoulders, the grass of a fox and its ears, the eyes of a bird and its neck, and the fins of a fish." Therefore, this horse first looks at the head of a horse, among which the rabbit head is the most precious. There are countless types of horses, but the rabbit head is the king of the earth."
It turned out that according to the shape of the horse's head, Bole vividly divided the horse into straight head, rabbit head, concave head, wedge head, half rabbit head, etc. Among them, rabbit head is the most outstanding. It has been rushing for thousands of miles and climbing mountains for several days.
The messenger explained Suma's knowledge in detail, and his expression was still very respectful, but he had already slightly despised Rochi in his heart, and he couldn't even tell why.
Perhaps it was because Roche was too young and had too much in his hands.
People always don't want others to live better than themselves, and they are very good at turning this jealousy into contempt.
This messenger was obviously like this, although he still remembered the mission he came here.
Luo Qi naturally didn't know his psychological activities, so he turned sideways and saw Fan Kuai who was escorting him.
He was looking at the BMW with obsession at this moment, as if he had seen Xi Shi at the beginning. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If Fan Kuai likes this horse, you can take it home."
Fan Kuai was stunned and hurriedly said, "Is what the king said true?"
Roqi smiled and said, "It is a wonderful thing to match a strong general with a good horse. Last time in the battle of Uncle Gucheng, you should have been rewarded, not to mention that this horse will only be ruined in my hands. I will give it to you. You must make achievements in the future and never let me down."
Fan Kuai hurriedly said, "I know that I will charge in the future and I will never refuse!"
He is a simple-minded general, so he naturally doesn't understand what humility is. If Roche is willing to give it to him, he will firmly remember Roche's favor. Such simple-thinking characters are often favored by the king.
Because they are safe.
The messenger's contempt for Roche was immediately eliminated. Even the sweat-blooded BMW could be given up. The young King of Yue's weapon was indeed extraordinary.
Just based on this small matter, it means that he does have great talent.
He is indeed an unfathomable hero.
Roqi smiled and said, "How can I afford to give such a tribute to your master?"
The messenger hurriedly said, "My master has heard of what King Yue did when he was the crown prince. He can be said to be as good as a god in his military service, Sun Wuzi, the saint of the past. My master admired him so much that he wanted to make friends with King Yue."
Roqi smiled and said, "Who is your master?"
Seeing that the conversation had already started, the messenger quickly said respectfully: "Jiang Meng."
Roche nodded and said, "I have heard of him."
The messenger hesitated and said, "My master asked me to come. In fact, there is one more thing I want to ask King Yue for."
Roche raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"
The messenger sighed and said, "This matter must be said for a long time. Everything was caused by Tian Heng and Jiang Ao."
He really started from the beginning, and everything started with the sudden death of Duke Jian of Qi.
From the beginning, Duke Jian of Qi gradually became controlled by the left prime minister Tian Heng and the right prime minister Zhi. They all planned to usurp the throne, but they were just waiting for a good opportunity.
Until later, Qi Jiangong died suddenly, the balance of all this was immediately broken.
The arrangements of Tian Heng and Zhi were not in place yet, and they were not sure to get rid of each other. However, they had to hurry up and start accusing the other party of being the murderer of the regicide, and then launched a fierce political struggle, which ended with Zhi's defeat. However, because Tian Heng was not prepared in advance, he did not hurt Zhi's muscles.
Then he and Jiang Meng fled and defended the land to death. Tian Heng sent troops to conquer many times but failed, and then the two sides were in a stalemate.
But it is obvious that Tian Hengyi's faction has an advantage.
Zhi and Jiang Meng knew that this was not a solution, so they thought of Roche at a desperate situation. Obviously, for them, weak alliances are more cost-effective than strong alliances, at least they don’t have to worry about being swallowed up after things are done.
