Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

In the autumn of the fourth year of Yuanjing reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a Dunhuang prisoner named Huali Chang captured a sweat-blooded horse and presented it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got the horse, he was so happy that he called it "Tianma".He also wrote a song about it, saying: "Taiyi pays tribute to you under the heavenly horse, stained with red sweat and foamy ocher. We have traveled thousands of miles together, and now we have a dragon as your friend."

At the same time, there are also records of two expeditions to Dayuan Kingdom in order to obtain the sweat-blooded horse.

It is said that this sweaty horse can travel thousands of miles in a day, and sweat like blood will flow out from near the shoulders.But apart from some historical records and descriptions in film and television literature, few people living in later generations can witness its elegance and it is difficult to identify it.

No one knows whether historical records are wrong or whether people's hunting, continuous introduction and crossbreeding have made the pure sweat-blooded BMW extinct.

"Heavenly horses come from the West, travel thousands of miles to return to the virtuous, and carry the power of the spirit to descend to foreign countries. They waded through the quicksand and surrendered to all the barbarians."

This is Sima Qian's description of the Bloody Horse in the Historical Records, and it is also the earliest record of the Bloody Horse in Chinese history. This is the reason why Luo Qi has always believed that the Bloody Horse is indeed real.

When Luo Qi heard the name of the BMW, he couldn't help being interested and said with a smile: "Where is the BMW? Can your envoy take me to see it?"

When the envoy saw Luo Qi's expression, he knew that the gift was well delivered and said quickly: "This horse is outside the palace now. I will take the King of Yue to collect it."

Luo Qi quickly agreed and walked out of the palace.

Before they could reach the palace gate, they suddenly heard a long neigh from Hululu, as loud as a dragon's roar.Luo Qi couldn't help but smile and said: "Just by hearing its voice, I know its capabilities. It is indeed a good horse. Your Majesty did not deceive me."

The messenger quickly apologized and followed Luo Qi respectfully.

Wait until Luo Qi comes out of the palace.Then he saw a horse with its hair as red as blood except for a white mark on its forehead standing outside the palace gate. At this moment, it was holding its head high and its hooves were flapping as if it was going to ride away in the wind.

Its limbs are long and strong, the muscles seem to be made of steel bars, and the fur is shiny and full of vitality, like the blazing fire of hell.While looking forward.It is obvious that this horse is an extraordinary horse, and many good horses all over the place have their heads lowered, as if they are worshiping.

What’s interesting is that the part above the nose of the horse slightly protrudes outward, resembling a rabbit’s head. It reminds Luo Qi of the Red Rabbit horse, the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, the ghost god Lu Bu. According to legend, the Red Rabbit is a charcoal-red body with a rabbit-shaped head. shape, hence the name Red Rabbit.

Luo Qi smiled softly and complained: "The part above the nose of this horse looks like a rabbit."

Although he knows the name of the sweaty horse.But he knows very little about Souma.

The messenger hurriedly explained: "Bole, the world's number one horse physiognomist, said in his book Xiangma Sutra, 'If you get rabbits and foxes, birds and fish, you can get these four things. Don't compare with others', and you have more desire. To get the head and shoulders of a rabbit, to get the grass and ears of a fox, to get the eyes and neck of a bird, to get the fins and spine of a fish.' In this sentence, the first thing this horse looks like is to look at the horse's head, among which the rabbit's head is a good horse. , the most precious. There are countless types of horses, but the rabbit-headed horse is the king of types."

It turns out that Bole vividly divided horses into straight heads, rabbit heads, concave heads, wedge heads, half rabbit heads, etc. based on the shape of their heads. Among these, the rabbit head is the most outstanding.It takes only a few days to gallop thousands of miles, and it is as easy as crossing a river to climb a mountain.

The messenger explained Souma's knowledge in detail, his expression still very respectful, but in his heart he already had a slight contempt for Luo Qi, and even he himself couldn't explain why.

Perhaps it's because Roach is too young and has too much in his hands.

People always don’t want others to have a better life than themselves, and they are very good at turning this jealousy into contempt.

This is obviously the case for this messenger, although he still remembers his mission here.

Luo Qi naturally didn't know his mental activities, so he turned sideways and saw Fan Kuai guarding him.

At this moment, he was looking at the BMW with an expression of fascination, just like when he first met Xi Shi. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "If Fan Kuai likes this horse, you can take it home."

Fan Kuai was startled and said quickly: "Is what the king said true?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "It is a wonderful thing to pair a strong general with a good horse. In the last battle in Gushu City, you took the lead and should have been rewarded. What's more, in my hands, this horse will only be ruined. I I give this to you, and you must make great achievements in the future, and never let anyone down."

Fan Kuai said quickly: "I know that I will definitely charge into the battle from now on, without hesitation!"

He is a simple-minded general who naturally does not understand the meaning of humility. He will take whatever Roach gives him, and he will firmly remember Roach's favor. Such simple-minded people are often favored by the king.

Because they are safe.

As for the envoy, he couldn't help but immediately wipe out his contempt for Luo Qi. He could even part with a bloody horse. The talent of this young Yue King was indeed extraordinary.

Just this little thing shows that he does have great talents and great plans.

He is indeed an unfathomable hero.

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Your master gives such a heavy gift, how can I afford it?"

The messenger hurriedly said: "My master has heard about what the King of Yue did when he was the crown prince. His military skills are as good as those of Sun Wuzi, the sage of war. My master admires him greatly, so he wants to make friends with the King of Yue."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Who is your master?"

Seeing that the conversation was on track, the messenger quickly said respectfully: "Jiang Meng."

Luo Qi nodded and said: "I have heard of him."

The envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "My master asked me to come here. Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask the King of Yue."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

The messenger sighed: "This matter has to be discussed at a long time. It was all caused by Tian Heng and Jiang Ao."

He seriously started from the beginning, everything started with the sudden death of Qi Jiangong.

From the very beginning, the power of Duke Jian of Qi was gradually controlled by Tian Heng, the left prime minister, and Zhi, the right prime minister. They all had plans to usurp the throne, but they were just waiting for the opportunity.

It was not until Qi Jiangong died suddenly that all this balance was immediately broken.

The arrangements between Tian Heng and Zhi were not in place yet, and they were not sure about getting rid of each other. But at this moment, they had to attack in a hurry, and began to accuse the other party of being the murderer of the regicide, and then launched a fierce political struggle, which ended with Zhi's defeat. , but because Tian Heng was not prepared in advance, his muscles and bones were not injured.

Then Zhi and Jiang Meng fled and defended the territory. Tian Heng repeatedly sent troops to conquer to no avail, and the two sides have been in a stalemate ever since.

But it is obvious that Tian Heng's faction has the advantage.

Zhi and Jiang Meng knew that this was not the way to go, so they thought of Luo Qi when they had no choice. Obviously, for them, a weak alliance is more cost-effective than a strong and weak alliance, at least they don't have to worry about being swallowed up after the event is completed.

Luo Qi pondered: "It's not that I don't want to help, but my country, Yue, has just recovered. Now is the time when we need to recharge our batteries. It is really difficult for others to blindly send troops."
