Chapter five hundred and ninety-first red rabbit in the horse
Huma Dayuan's name is sharp and thin.
The ears of the bamboo are sharp, and the wind blows lightly on the four hooves.
There is no vastness in the direction, which is worthy of life and death.
If Xiaoteng is like this, he can travel thousands of miles.
——"Poems of Hu Ma and Cao Bing" by Du Fu
…
In the next few days, the Tang army followed the same pattern, so that the Yan army's horses did not dare to bathe in the nearby river and could only go to the river several miles away.
Shi Siming was so angry that he was itching his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
The counselor under the account came up with a plan: "Your Majesty, why not release that black horse?
As long as it is there, the horses of the Tang army will not dare to make noise, and our horses will not dare to act rashly and be harassed by the Tang army."
Shi Siming slapped his thigh, laughed loudly, and said, "Yes, how could I forget this?"
In the early years, someone dedicated a black sacred horse to Shi Siming - the Dawan Lion Cong.
An ordinary war horse is two feet long from head to tail, and eight feet five feet from hoof to back. This horse is tall and majestic, powerful and powerful, four feet long from head to tail, and nine feet from hoof to back. There is no trace of hair on its body, and it is as translucent as black satin.
Like smoke and clouds. Once you let go and run, your hooves will fly into the air, flying as fast as the wind, just like soaring clouds and driving mist.
After careful observation, the Prime Minister of the Army, Ma Bole, said to Shi Siming: "Commander, this horse is called 'Thousand Miles of Smoke and Cloud Cover' in the photo book, and it is one of the best horses in a thousand."
If that's the case, it's not unusual. There are no less than a dozen horses of this level in our army.
The miraculous thing about this horse is that the horse's muscles and bones have been transformed by a mysterious force, and it has become a fairy. It can be said that it has been reborn.
In addition, this horse has been blessed by a magic weapon made from some kind of spiritual beast. It can channel spirits and understand its owner's instructions better than ordinary horses.
Congratulations, Commander, this horse is rare in the world, it is rare to find it! It can be said that Lu Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses!"
Shi Siming was overjoyed when he heard this and rewarded Xiangma Bole generously.
There must be something extraordinary about such a majestic horse. This horse is rebellious and refuses to let anyone ride it.
Whether he is whipped hard with a leather whip or carefully served with good bean cakes, this horse will not eat soft or hard and will never give in.
Shi Siming was now worried. He had no choice but to abandon the horse. He had no choice but to keep the horse in the army.
Strange to say, this horse is like a hero among horses, and all the war horses are extremely afraid of it. As long as this horse takes the lead and gallops, no other horse dares to disobey.
Over time, the grooms have gained experience. As long as they greet the black horse well and the horses bow their heads and obey orders, it is easy to herd the horses and march.
Even if they encounter a pack of wolves or are attacked by the enemy, as long as this horse is around, the horses will not break up and can gather into formation under the command of the wrangler, just like an arm.
…
When this plan was presented, Shi Siming was overjoyed and shouted: "Pull out my 'Ten Thousand Miles of Smoke Cloud Cover'!
I want to do the opposite and not only bring back my lost horses, but also bring back all of Li Guangbi's horses."
Early that morning, the horsemen of the Tang Army took the mare that had been "induced to surrender" and also took the captured war horse to the north bank of the Yellow River to take a bath, deliberately irritating the Yan Army.
Not only were the Yan army's horsemen not afraid at all, but they also brought hundreds of good Dawan horses that were left over from last time.
When the horsemen of the Tang Army saw it, they were quite surprised. As the saying goes, one gains wisdom after suffering. Is it possible that the Yan Army healed the scar and forgot about the pain?
The horseherds of the Tang army repeated their old trick, letting the mare cry out to lure the Yan army's horses on the other side of the river.
The Yan Jun groom asked the horses to disperse and unbridled a black horse among the horses.
This black horse is like a dark ghost, exuding a terrifying aura from the netherworld.
The other war horses consciously kept a certain distance from him, but did not dare to hide too far.
The black horse walked straight to the river beach as if there was no one around, jumped into the water, and washed its mane.
When the Tang Army mare on the other side of the river saw the black horse, she didn't even dare to breathe, let alone call out, and was in awe behind the stallions.
The lone wolf saw it clearly from the tower and couldn't help but be very interested. He was a good horse person and his knowledge of horses and their ability to train them was famous beyond the Great Wall.
This kind of scene has been seen several times by lone wolves on the prairie, but only among wild horses.
Wild horses, like people, are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The leading horse among the grassland wild horses has such a status that the stars tower over the moon.
The head horse can lead the herd of horses to chase places with lush water and grass and avoid wolves and other wild beasts, so they naturally have a high status.
The horses will leave the best pasture to it alone; only the strongest mare can get its favor...
But the black horse in front of me is obviously not a wild horse. Why can it be so majestic?
The lone wolf was quite curious and hurriedly asked Luo Tuoer to find other scouts to go up to the tower to watch.
…
The black horse finished washing, shook its mane, shook off the water droplets, and slowly walked onto the river bank. Only then did the other Yan army horses dare to enter the water.
The black horse was lazily basking in the sun. It felt comfortable, shook its tail, and gave a low cry, preparing to go home.
Bathed in the sun, the Yan army's war horses quickly stopped playing and fighting, jumped onto the river bank one after another, and gathered around the black horses.
The Yan Army groom walked up to the black horse, pointed at the Tang Army horse on the other side of the river, and muttered to the black horse.
The black horse is psychic and seems to understand the groom's words.
It looked up to the other side and suddenly roared like a tiger roaring.
On the other side of the river, the Yan Army's war horses that had just been captured by the Tang Army immediately reacted. Without waiting for the reaction of the Tang Army's horsemen, they all broke free from the reins, swam across the river, and swam towards the black horse.
Hundreds of other Tang army mares also followed and "defected" together.
The incident happened suddenly, and the horsemen of the Tang army were unprepared. They lost their position for a moment, were in a panic, and screamed again and again.
If the Yan army had taken the fat meat back into their mouths, it is estimated that all the horseherds who herded horses today would have to engage in military law.
How could all the horse herders not be in a hurry?!
This scene was caught by Bai Fu who had just climbed up the tower.
Bai Fu looked at this vigorous dark ghost, and his heart surged!
Bai Fu leapt up onto the battlement, his long body standing tall, his clothes flying, and his head held high in anticipation.
Bai Fu let out a long roar, like a dragon roaring to the sky.
The black horse took the lead and was leading the group of horses to gallop. When they heard the roar, their eyes widened and they raised their front hooves high. People stood up and stopped in their tracks.
The black horse turned around and saw the elegant white dress on the tower...
The black horse's unruly eyes suddenly softened, and two lines of hot tears fell from its big black eyes.
"Roar--"
The black horse roared like a black lightning, flying like a cloud and mist, and galloped away towards Bai Fu.
The horses followed closely behind, surging towards Heyang City like a tide.
…
Bai Fu opened his arms like a big white eagle, jumped down from the top of the city, took advantage of the wind, circled, glided over, and landed in front of the black horse.
"blast!"
Bai Fu hugged the black horse's neck tightly and stroked the black horse's thick mane...
…
When Shi Siming heard this, he fell down on the handsome tiger-skin chair.
"Why is it so small? The owner of the black horse is in Li Guangbi's army?
Could it be God's will?!"
This plan not only failed to regain the horses he lost, but also brought in hundreds of good Dawan horses. What was even more distressing was that the "Wanli Yanyunsha", which he regarded as a treasure, was also involved.
Since he got the "Wanli Yanyunshi", he sent four or five grooms to take good care of him, and fed him with fine mountain spring water mixed with fresh grass, bean cakes, wheat bran and other feeds. His food was even better than that of the soldiers.
He built a stable for him and wiped it with a fine brush every day, polished the horse's body, trimmed the horse's mane, and drove away mosquitoes.
The bridle of the 'Wanli Smoke Cloud Cover' is made of fine gold and inlaid with beautiful jade and gemstones. Just one saddle is inlaid with dozens of gemstones of various colors, which is priceless.
Shi Siming thought to himself, even if he couldn't ride it, it would be fine to keep this divine horse and breed it.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to launch a war of annihilation to destroy Dawan for a few bloody horses. It is understandable that he loves this horse so much.
Who would have thought that the owner of this horse was actually a soldier from the Tang Military Region?!
"He deserves it?!"
Shi Siming cursed secretly in his heart.
How could Shi Siming not feel heartbroken when all his hard work ended up marrying someone else?
…
Shi Siming thought about it and laughed again: "This horse's integrity is unparalleled.
One who is powerful cannot be surrendered, one who is rich cannot be lascivious. With such loyalty and courage, even the heroes of the world are nothing more than this!
Alas, my love for him is not in vain!
People have the same mind and heart.
How great it would be if the generals under my command could be so loyal!"
…
Emperor Yan escorted his soldiers, you looked at me, I looked at you, they didn't dare to say anything, and thought to themselves: "Your Majesty usually shows no expression of joy or anger, what song is he singing today? He is angry for a while, happy for a while, but...
Don't hurt yourself."
Looking at the set of bridles left by the black horse, Shi Siming thought about the horse. He called for his personal attendant and said: "You give me an oral instruction to send this set of bridles to the Tang army and hand them over to the leader of 'Wanli Yanyunzhao' personally."
In the hands of the master."
The attendants were dumbfounded and thought to themselves: "Your Majesty, is he confused?
The horse has been lost, and the harness is given as a gift. How ridiculous!"
The attendant hesitated again and again and stammered: "Your Majesty, this set of horse bridles is worth a lot of money? Are you really willing to part with it?"
Shi Siming waved his hand and sighed: "Apart from my 'Wanli Yanyunzhao', which horse is worthy of using this set of bridles?
Besides, don’t you have to give a dowry when you marry a girl?
My "Thousand Miles of Smoke and Clouds" are psychic and know my thoughts.
