Feng Yongyong doesn't know much about horses. He only knows one kind of horse, which is the Mongolian horse.
No way, Genghis Khan is too famous.
The Mongolian horse is one of the oldest horse breeds. It is shorter than other war horse breeds, and its explosive power is not as strong as other horse breeds. However, it has a strong body and strong endurance. It is suitable for long-distance raids and is a good military horse. .
The most important thing is that it is easy to maintain, can adapt to extremely harsh environments, is not easy to get sick, and is not as delicate as other war horse breeds.
The reason why Genghis Khan was able to conquer the world was largely due to Mongolian horses. The Mongolian army often used the amazing endurance of Mongolian horses to carry out long-distance attacks on the enemy, thereby defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.
Moreover, Mongolian horses fight from the south to the north and from the east to the west. There is no saying that they are not adapted to the geographical environment.
If you change to other horse breeds, local adaptability is something that needs to be considered.
Therefore, in Feng Yong's plan, Yunnan horses can be used as logistics, while Mongolian horses are a more cost-effective war horse.
If the two armies were to face each other openly, Zhuge Lao Yao would not be afraid of anyone with his military formation.
When he met Sima Yi for the first time, he beat Sima Yi to a pulp and even killed Zhang Jaw.
The second time, he was so scared that he cowered in the camp and did not dare to fight, which shows that Zhuge Yao is still very good at fighting.
Therefore, war horses suitable for charging in front of the battle are not that important to Shu Han.
It's a pity that the Shu Han has no war horses, and its mobility is still a bit poor. This is a congenital defect, and Zhuge Lao Yao can't go against the will.
Therefore, with Zhuge Lao Yao, the Mongolian horse, which is suitable for long-distance raids and is low-cost to raise, is simply perfect for the Shu Han.
These Xianbei people came from Monan. I wonder if these horses are Mongolian horses?
In the Marquis Mansion of Jincheng Capital Township, Liu Yan was drinking and having fun.
The singers and maids in the mansion were dancing gracefully below, their long sleeves fluttering, and they were so beautiful.
Among the big men, when it comes to people who know how to enjoy themselves, Liu Yan is probably at the top.
Although the prime minister advocates frugality, the sound of gold, stone, silk and bamboo can be heard every day in the Duxiang Hou Mansion.
Everyone knows that the singer in the Duxiang Hou Mansion can sing "Lu Lingguang Palace Ode", which is a unique talent in Jincheng. The name of the singer in the Duxiang Hou Mansion is the best in the city.
It's just that what they sang today was not "Lu Lingguang Palace Fu", but "The Road to Shu is Difficult" which is now spread all over the streets of Jincheng.
When the singer sang "Looking sideways to the west and sighing", the lingering sound lingered in the ears.
"The writing is amazing, the meaning is magnificent..."
Liu Yan was still shaking his head after listening to what the singer sang, immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
His wife Liu Hu came from the hall at this time, bowed and saluted and said: "Alang, the Queen Mother wants to let my concubine enter the palace, so I came here to tell you."
Liu Yan didn't even look at Mrs. Liu Hu, she just waved her hand and said, "Since the Queen Mother has a decree, then go ahead."
As an important minister of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan naturally knew that something happened in the palace some time ago.
These days, many married women are called into the palace. It seems that the empress dowager is thinking of ways to relieve the empress.
My Xijun and the Empress Dowager had known each other for a long time, so they were naturally closer than others. It was not a strange thing to be often called into the palace.
"promise."
Mrs. Liu Hu responded and went out of the palace into the palace.
When she entered Changle Palace, she realized that the prime minister's wife and the queen's wife, Zhang Xiahou, were both present. More importantly, the queen, who she heard had been taking care of herself, also appeared at the table.
"I have met the Queen Mother, I have met the Queen."
"There's no need to be polite. I just asked you to come over and talk to me privately. Why should you be so formal? Come and take a seat."
Empress Dowager Wu smiled and asked Mrs. Liu Hu to get up and take her seat.
"I've been in the palace for a long time and don't know what's going on outside. I'm bored on weekdays, so I asked you to come over and talk. If there's anything interesting outside, you can tell me about it. It's just fun."
"If it's something interesting, I don't have one. But if it's the most popular news in Jincheng now, there is one."
Huang Yueying naturally knew the meaning of their coming. She glanced at Zhang Xingcai who was silent, smiled and said.
"Oh, tell me."
Empress Dowager Wu looked very interested.
"In the past, Cao Cao and his thieves in the north boasted of their flourishing literary spirit, but now a great article has been published in the Han Dynasty. Everyone is saying that it is only the Han Dynasty that seems to be reviving."
"What Xiongwen?"
Empress Dowager Wu and Huang Yueying sang and harmonized very well.
"Well, I'm afraid Mrs. Duxiang Hou knows better than me. Duxiang Hou Xi Le Wu, this magnificent poem, I heard that Duxiang Hou must listen to it every day."
Huang Yueying said with a smile.
Liu Hu didn't expect Huang Yueying to mention herself, and was a little surprised at the moment.
"Ms. Liu Hu, what's going on, please tell me?"
Empress Dowager Wu was also a little surprised. She thought it was just an excellent article, but she didn't expect that Liu Yan would like it so much. It seemed that it was not an ordinary article.
Liu Yan knew that. Although he didn't have much talent, his ability to talk with his hands down was unparalleled. His greatest strength was to appreciate essays.
Not to mention, this article can actually allow him to choreograph dance music, which must be a bit unusual.
After all, she had known the Liu Hu family before the late Emperor entered Shu. Liu Hu married him, how could she have never known him?
"Back to the Empress Dowager, there is indeed such an article. These days, my Alang has been obsessed with it every day and cannot extricate himself."
Mrs. Liu Hu replied, "Although I don't understand the beauty of the article, when I listen to the article, even as a woman, I can't help but follow the ups and downs of the article, and I can't control myself."
The marriage between Liu Hu and Liu Yan has the same significance as the marriage between Liu Bei and the Empress Dowager Wu. Both can be regarded as political marriages, the product of the combination of the foreign Shu Han regime and local forces.
Liu Hu's family background was not low, so he was naturally literate.
"So powerful?
Empress Dowager Wu's curiosity was aroused at this time, and she was no longer just trying to enlighten the empress.
On the contrary, Zhang Xiahou had some understanding and glanced at Huang Yueying.
"The Road to Shu is Difficult", its writing is majestic, of course she knows it.
However, my daughter has a very high ambition and is not inferior to the high-spirited man. Now she is suffering from the pain of losing her son and cannot extricate herself.
If you use this heroic article to arouse your daughter's ambition, maybe it will really work.
Huang Yueying felt Zhang Xiahou's gaze, turned around, saw Zhang Xiahou's questioning eyes, and nodded lightly.
"Will anyone read this?"
The Queen Mother looked around at the few people.
"The Empress Dowager doesn't know that this article has been widely circulated in Jincheng these days. Who doesn't know it?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "However, the rhyme used in this article is somewhat similar to Yuefu. If you want to read it, Luoyang music is the most suitable."
The person with the purest Luoyang pronunciation is none other than Zhang Xiahou.
"Oh, does that mean you know how to do it?"
Empress Dowager Wu became more and more interested.
