Chapter 29 Horse Crazy

Faced with Luo Shixin's questioning, Pingyang smiled and said a person's name: "Hu Sizheng!"

"What? Hu Sizheng..." Luo Shixin thought hard, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember such a person in history. He couldn't help but say: "What is his ability? Is he a government talent?"

Seeing Pingyang shook his head, he said again: "Who is proficient in strategy?"

"Brave and good at fighting?"

"Good to lead troops?"

Luo Shixin asked several questions on his face, but he still shook his head and said, "This is obvious that the talent of the school is not successful in literature or martial arts?"

Ping Yang gave him a blank look and said, "He is a groom, good at raising and training horses."

Luo Shixin said: "Aren't grooms good at this?" He did not mean to underestimate the grooms, but since there were more horses, he invited some horse trainers to feed and take care of war horses. He really has no shortage of grooms.

Pingyang Zhengrong said: "Your husband doesn't ask, there are often horses that are thousands of miles apart, but there are not often Bole?"

Luo Shixin was moved and said, "Can this Husi be a man."

"That's not!" Pingyang was a little embarrassed and said with some brilliance: "The real mentor is his master named Zhang Wansui."

"I'll go!" Luo Shixin couldn't help but exclaim, "This name is domineering. Isn't it afraid of losing my life and beheading me?" He was preconceived, and cheering "Long Live" before the Song Dynasty was a straightforward act, and he did not show any guilt. When the Qin King saw Lin Xiangru giving a jade, Feng Xian's bonds were all heard by Mengchangjun. This was a saying of praise, praise, and blessing.

Before the Song Dynasty, it was common to name Wansui. For example: Liu Wansui, son of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Wansui of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Li Wansui of the General during Emperor Wen of the Western Jin Dynasty, Xie Wansui of the Zizhou Governor during Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, and Diao Wansui of Yan Zhenqing during the Anshi Rebellion... Add Shi Wansui and Zhang Wansui of the present.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that Long Live really became a respectful word. It was like the tragic Kou Zhun. As the confidant of Song Taizu, Song Taizu once said to him affectionately, "I have Kou Zhun, just like Li Shimin got Wei Zheng." As a result, one day, a nerve on the road saw Kou Zhun shouting "Long Live" to him. Kou Zhun, Wei Zheng, was demoted from the deputy envoy of the Privy Council to the prefect of Qingzhou.

It can be seen that before the Song Dynasty, Long Live was not an inviolable word, nor was it used exclusively for the emperor.

Pingyang smiled bitterly. She didn't expect Luo Shixin to react like this. She got along a lot and knew that sometimes her amazing husband would be fooled. She didn't care about it. She just said, "Mr. Maybe he doesn't know. Zhang Wansui was still famous in his early years. The prefect of Mayi Wang Rengong died at his hands. He was a general under Liu Wuzhou. Later, my second brother was captured. The second brother discovered his ability and respected him in every way, and even called him the Tang Dynasty Bole."

"Bole of the Tang Dynasty!"

Luo Shixin moved his heart and vaguely remembered something. He remembered that when he was reading historical notes, he once read an article. He could no longer remember the content, but it was roughly a bit reflected. It seemed that the reason why Ma Zheng of the Tang Dynasty was successful was that Li Shimin knew Bo Le with a keen eye and defeated the general of the army. He valued the generals of the generals and achieved great achievements that shocked all directions.

"Is it this Zhang Wansui?"

He muttered in his heart.

Luo Shixin’s impression is not wrong!

Zhang Wansui has poor martial arts skills and does not have any military strategy, but he can raise horses, so he is a horseman.

According to the "" record: In the early Tang Dynasty, he obtained 2,000 Turkic horses and 3,000 Sui horses. That is to say, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were only about 5,000 war horses. However, Li Shimin resisted the opposition. After Zhang Wansui was in charge of horse politics, the horses across the country grew rapidly. By the third year of Zhenguan, when Li Jing conquered the Turks, the quality of the war horses of the Tang Dynasty was no less than that of the Turkic horses. Zhang Wansui's Longxi Horse Ranch not only provided the Tang army with more than 100,000 good horses, but also had more than 100,000 spare horses in the horse farm. At the peak of Zhang Wansui's rule of horse politics in the Tang Dynasty, the war horses of the Tang Dynasty once jumped to more than 706,000. This amount was so terrifying. As a farming nation, only the Tang Dynasty did this. Therefore, historical records: Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Tang horses were the most prosperous!

It was also because of these 706,000 war horses. Only when the Tang Dynasty fought in all directions, the capital that captured the largest territory in Chinese history (although it did not last for many years).

You should know that in order to fight the Huns and raise war horses, Emperor Wu of Han almost exhausted the huge capital left over from Wen Jing. He spent many years to raise more than 300,000 war horses to supply Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to the conquest. However, in just ten years, Zhang Wansui still built nearly 300,000 war horses for the Tang Dynasty while maintaining the economic foundation of the Zhenguan rule. This ability is really amazing.

Of course, these are all later stories now.

"The title of second brother is true... Since Zhang Wansui took over the horses of the Tang Dynasty and managed the Longyou Horse Farm, our Tang army's war horses have been supplied. Every year, a portion of the military horses are assigned." Pingyang understood the inside story and highly praised Zhang Wansui.

Luo Shixin had some impression of Zhang Wansui, and had no doubt about Ping Yang's words. He just said curiously: "Since Zhang Wansui is so important, why did his apprentice come to join me? Isn't it better to help his master? Could it be that what happened between them?"

Pingyang praised: "The insightfulness of the Langjun is really extraordinary. It is true that this Husi is Zhang Wansui's most outstanding apprentice. Zhang Wansui once again fell seriously ill and thought he would die. He also said that Husi could inherit his mantle, but not long ago, the two masters and apprentices had a conflict. Zhang Wansui always advocated that bloodlines are the best. The nobler bloodlines are, the better the quality of the war horses. Therefore, the eight horses that the second brother loves the most are, seven of them were asked to be mateed."

Luo Shixin nodded in agreement: "I think it should be the case! My Red Piao is the descendant of a bloody horse, and all the indexes are far superior to other war horses. Especially after being in line with my heart, it is my weapon to defeat the enemy."

"Yes! This view is almost recognized, but Hu Sizheng put forward another view himself. He said that the theory of bloodline is true, but real war horses should be mainly engaged in training, and they cannot be fully qualified for bloodline. A good bloodline horse can hardly be met, and war horses should focus on training." Pingyang said with a bitter face: "Hu Sizheng's proposal made Zhang Wansui furious, and the master and apprentice argued and quarreled about it. Zhang Wansui felt that Hu Sizheng was following a wrong way, but Hu Sizheng thought his master was old-fashioned and unrestrained. The two of them became more and more quarreled, and in the end they even alarmed their father and the two.

Brother. Zhang Wansui was angry and drove Dehusi Zheng out of the wall. The second brother felt that Husi was a talent and was reluctant to let go, so he asked me to bring him to you. The second brother said that many of Langjun's novel ideas were similar to Husi Zheng and should be able to get together. I think, no matter who is right or wrong, Husi Zheng has the ability. Langjun now has more than 20,000 war horses, and it is also good to have a groom with such a skill like Husi Zheng. At least you don't have to worry about their domestication, and you can ensure that you can be strong and go to the battlefield at all times."

"It makes sense!" Luo Shixin nodded and said, "When you say this, I really seem to be missing a decent groom. Let's go, we will meet this Hu Sizheng together."

Pingyang smiled and said, "I will make my own decision and let Husi wait in the governor's office and let the maids treat him carefully. You won't blame me, right?"

"How could it be?" Luo Shixin narrowed his eyes and said, "You are the governor's wife! Of course you have this right."

The two returned to Gyeongju together.

When he arrived at the Governor's Office, Luo Shixin first asked Hu Sizheng where he went.

The guard replied with a strange look: "The guests couldn't stay there no matter how hard they were, and they clamored to go to the stable. The princess told us to have a good hospitality, so she had to take him to the stable. It was already two hours, and he had been in the stable as if he was talking to the horse."

Luo Shixin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Many events proved that such a fool is either a lunatic or a strange person.

When he arrived at the stable, Luo Shixin saw a very honest and ordinary young man who used a horse comb to wash his hair. The dark horse seemed to enjoy the man's scrubbing, and he cooperated with his head high.

There were two maids waiting aside around. When they saw Luo Shixin, Pingyang came and called out a few times.

The young man turned a blind eye and still washed the horse's hair seriously.

The maid was anxiously trying to come forward and pull him, but she asked Luo Shixin to shake his head to stop him.

Ping Yang said: "He is Hu Sizheng. This person loves horses and is crazy. When taking care of horses, he will take care of them wholeheartedly and will hardly hear them if he doesn't pull him."

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Isn't it his strength to be able to focus on this?"

After waiting for a cup of tea, Hu Si looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, nodded, and put the horse comb in place. Only then did he notice Luo Shixin and Pingyang's existence, and hurried forward to greet him, "Caomin has seen His Royal Highness the Princess, General..." He originally had an official position, but because of a quarrel with his master, he abandoned his official position and refused to do so.

Although he had never seen Luo Shixin, the only one who could stand side by side with Pingyang was Luo Shixin, the famous ever-winning general of the Tang Dynasty.

He bowed, but his eyes fell on Chi Piao who was sitting down on Luo Shixin, without blinking, and he was very immersive.

"What are your opinions about me, Red Pie?" Luo Shixin asked with a smile.

Husi was thinking for a long time and said, "The General's horse's explosive power is extremely strong. There is nothing special about the bloodline of this horse, and it can only be said to be very ordinary."

Luo Shixin was a little moved. The BMW given to him by Yi Nan had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Because of him, he was extremely famous, and many famous masters of the Ma Ma accompanied him to comment.

However, most of the so-called evaluations are like "Get rabbits, foxes, birds and fishes, and don't compare the rest." And "Want to get the head of the rabbit and its shoulders, the Zhou grass of the foxes, and its ears, the eyes and necks, and the fins and spines of the fish." Anyway, it is a mess, and it is all about excerpts from Bole's "Suanma Sutra", which makes you look very skillful, but it is rare to say that Hu Si Zheng said so concisely.
