Chapter 81 Sun Ce's Horse
Liu Qi is not good at horses, but Gan Ning and Wang Yi naturally know what is a good horse and what kind of horse is suitable for cavalry when dealing with horses all day long. Of the more than 4,000 horses, there must be several horses comparable to Wang Yi's horses.
Liu Qi looked at the only leftover grain and grass not far away and said, "When you leave, let a horse hold some horse material. In the past few days, our horse has basically not eaten any good horse material, and the horse will not be able to stand it after a long time."
Gan Ning nodded and said, "Yes, it's also appropriate for each person to hold three horses, and there is no need to stop and feed horses on the road."
"Who?" Wang Yi was most alert and shouted at the grain and grass pile, and at the same time, he had pulled out a long gun to block Liu Qi.
Yang Sima in the grain and grass pile scolded himself half to death. Just now, when he heard that Liu Qi was going to let people carry the grain and grass, he was not in a hurry. He suddenly pulled into the grain and grass, but Wang Yi was so scared that he dared not move anymore.
Wang Yi thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Liu Qi in embarrassment. Liu Qi smiled and said, "It's okay to burn these grains and fodder." Wang Yi's alertness naturally knew that he would not do this if nothing had happened.
"Shura" startled Liu Qi and others. They stood up in the grain and one person was full of grain and grass and shouted, "General, spare my life, general..." But Yang Sima couldn't help standing up in fear.
Liu Qi and the other two didn't expect that there was really someone in it. Liu Qi just said and ran out. Two soldiers immediately rushed out behind him and escorted him.
Liu Qi covered his nose and looked at Sima, who couldn't help begging for mercy, and said, "Who are you? Why are you hiding in this stable?"
Yang Sima was scared by the killing of Liu Qi and others. He was afraid that Liu Qi would kill him when he was unhappy and said, "The villain is Sima from the horse farm. Just now, when he saw the general, he hid in fear and asked the general to spare his life."
Liu Qi and others suddenly realized that the soldiers in the horse farm just now did not have the power to resist. Although the horse farm was set on fire and poisoned by them, it was not enough to have no power to fight back. As long as someone came out to command, he could resist for at least a while. Unexpectedly, Sima hid. Liu Qi looked at Sima and frowned, "Are you familiar with this horse farm?"
Yang Sima didn't dare to neglect: "Familiar, familiar. If the general finds a good horse, don't bother me so much. I'll take you there. After saying that, he looked at Liu Qi with a flattering face and said, "Although these horses are good, they are not the best. The best horses are closed separately. Each horse has a stable in the back." Yang Sima pointed to the row of stables at the end and looked at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi said, "Leis the way ahead."
Yang Sima Daxi immediately took Liu Qi back and said as he walked, "There are more than 4,600 horses in this horse farm, of which 800 horses are young horses and 500 horses are old horses. The rest of the horses are strong horses that are most suitable for cavalry. And there are forty-nine horses in the back row of fifty houses, all of which are the best horses, no less than the horses under the general.
Liu Qi's face has shown some joy. Needless to say, the horse of Feihuwei is the last horse in Jingzhou, and the horses of the Jinfan thief are all horses bought by Gan Ning at a high price. These horses are the best horses. Even if they are placed in the north, they are rare and good horses. I didn't expect that there were fifty horses comparable to them.
Yang Sima was relieved to see Liu Qi's face. As long as the general was happy, he might let him go. At present, he said without concealing: "These fifty horses are specially prepared for the Guards. Even the whole Jiangdong is definitely a first-class good horse. These good horses can be trained more than ten horses every year, and fifty horses have been the total for three years."
Liu Qi wondered, "Aren't these horses sent to the Guard once a year?"
Yang Sima shook his head and said proudly, "A good horse can naturally bring out a good horse. If you send all the good horses away, there will be no excellent horses in the stable. It will be difficult to train a good horse."
Liu Qi looked at Yang Sima and said, "So you are very good at raising horses?" As far as he knows, Jingzhou now has only two horse farms. These two horse farms can only train more than ten such horses in a year, and this horse farm in Jiangdong is much more training than them. In the long run, Jiangdong's strength will definitely surpass that of Jingzhou. Liubiao is not interested in these, but he needs these to compete with the princes of the world.
The simplest division of soldiers and horses in this era is the step pawn, cavalry and navy. And it is impossible to be with the northern princes without cavalry.
Yang Sima's arrogant face said, "Yes, there is no one in this horse farm who knows how to train horses better than me."
Liu Qi nodded and decided to take this Sima away. There was no trace on his face and said, "You just said that there were fifty stables but there were forty-nine horses. What does the other one do?"
Yang Sima was stunned and said awkwardly, "Another stable is also closed with a horse. This horse was originally intended to be dedicated to the master... Er... Sun Ce didn't expect that this horse would be difficult to tame, so he had to lock it."
Hearing that Ma Liuqi, who was going to dedicate to Sun Ce, were interested, Liu Qi said, "Take me to have a look later."
Yang Sima smiled bitterly and said, "This horse is wild and difficult to tame. It has kicked and injured more than a dozen horse tapers. It's better be careful, general." If the horse kicks the general in front of him, his life will be over.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm just going to have a look."
Yang Sima had no choice but to take Liu Qi to the innermost stable.
Not long after, Liu Qi and others came outside the stable. This stable is different from other stables. Other stables have no doors, at most two simple railings, but this place is installed with a strong gate.
Yang Sima pointed to the door and said, "This horse is easy to break free from the rope and run away before installing the door. The ordinary door was kicked by it in two days and then installed the door."
Liu Qi nodded and they had already heard the sound of horses' hoofs kicking the door inside. Yang Sima opened the door and heard a "hout" hiss. Yang Sima quickly retreated to Liu Qi and said, "General, be careful. This horse is dangerous and tight."
Liu Qi looked at the horse, and his whole body was snow-white without any color. Even the whip marks all over his body could not hide its arrogance. The eyes of the people who looked high at the door were full of arrogance and disdain. Even just now, Yang Sima was so scared that there was a wisp of sarcasm in his eyes.
Liu Qi looked at the horse and his heart was full of shock. This is not a horse's eye. It is said that Ma Tong is human, but I have never seen such a humane horse, and his eyes are similar to human beings.
Liu Qi took a deep breath and said, "I want this horse."
