"Although I don't know the art of Soma, I also know that this horse is a rare and good horse." Liu Feng stretched out his hand and stroked the white mane on the neck of the dark cloud horse, and praised softly.

"This dark cloud horse can travel five hundred miles. Although it is not as good as the big black horse of Yide, it is better than the young, only three years old. The potential is high. If it is properly trained, it should be a good horse of the highest quality. Zhao Yun patted the head of the dark cloud horse with some doting and explained.

If he didn't already have a beloved horse, he would be reluctant to give this dark cloud horse to Liu Feng. As a general, horses are the first, weapons are the second, and armor is the third.

Horses are always the most cherished companions of military generals.

"Thank you, General." Liu Feng thanked.

"The gentleman has the beauty of sincerity and benevolence, and the young general is polite." Zhao Yun said with a smile, and there was a feeling of complementing Liu Feng's joke that a gentleman does not take people's favors.

"Haha. What General Zilong said was, and yes. Liu Feng laughed. changed his words from a general to General Zilong. The taste of intimacy is straightforward.

Zhao Yun also laughed.

After laughing, Zhao Yun pointed to the dark cloud horse and said, "The young general doesn't try the demeanor of this dark cloud horse?" ”

"Naturally, I want to give it a try." Liu Feng smiled slightly, took the reins of the horse from the hand of the attendant next to him, and then stepped on the dark cloud horse.

Liu Feng bowed down, stroked the neck of the dark cloud horse slightly, and said softly: "Partner, partner, come to fight on the battlefield, it is all up to you to live." ”

Wuyunju is very psychic, and seems to understand Liu Feng's words. Yang Tian let out a loud hissing sound, which seemed to be in response to Liu Feng.

"Haha. Drive. Liu Feng laughed and tightened the reins of the horse, clamped his feet, and the dark cloud horse under his crotch "swished", and rushed forward like an arrow.

In the wild run, there is no need for Liu Feng to deliberately control it. The speed of the dark cloud horse itself, and the fierce wind brought out, made Liu Feng only hold the reins of the horse and lie on the horse's back.

The posture is humiliating.

However, Liu Feng was not surprised, and shouted: "Good horse, really good horse." ”

A person's poor riding skills can be improved slowly, but a good horse is hard to find. Today, it was really a surprise.

After galloping for a long time, the dark cloud horse seemed to be having fun. He sneezed loudly, and took Liu Feng back to Zhao Yun's side.

"How?" Zhao Yun looked at Liu Feng's happy face and asked with a smile.

"I like it." Liu Feng gasped slightly, and his words were shocking. Although he was very happy just now, he had a lot of physical strength, and just grabbing the neck of the dark cloud horse had already made Liu Feng tired enough.

"Haha, that's good, that's good. It was not in vain that the major general came so far to my side to ask for advice on horsemanship. Zhao Yun laughed, and then said: "From now on, as long as the young general practices diligently and cultivates a tacit understanding with the dark cloud horse, his riding skills will inevitably be successful." ”

"Thank you, General Zilong, for your advice." Liu Feng had already gasped for breath at this time, turned over and got off the dark cloud horse, and said with a smile.

"Huh." Zhao Yun smiled.

Although it was an unexpected joy to get the dark cloud horse given by Zhao Yun, Liu Feng did not forget the purpose of coming this time. It was not just to ask for advice on horsemanship, but more to establish a preliminary friendship with the general.

After being silent for a while, Liu Feng looked around at the cavalrymen who had already rested. Liu Feng raised his fist towards Zhao Yun and asked the doubts in his heart, "My father has been living in Xinye for a long time, but I look at this cavalry as if it has just formed an army, why is this?" ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Zhao Yun's face was much less.

Looking at the cavalry around him, Zhao Yun sighed and said: "The young general doesn't know, when the lord first came to Xinye, there were less than 100 war horses, although Liu Jingzhou immediately allocated six or seven hundred war horses. But the qualifications are uneven, and they can't be an army at all. I can only look everywhere for the best horses. Half a year later, only 900 horses were made. Then it took more than a month to recruit good knights. Only then did it have the current scale, three hundred cavalry, barely one person and three horses. ”

Zhao Yun said it was difficult, and Liu Feng nodded silently.

War horses are one thing, and so are the candidates for cavalry. There is no contempt for southerners, but the physique of southerners, and the qualifications to ride horses, are indeed not as strong as those of northerners.

Zhao Yun was able to spend such a short time to assemble this cavalry of three hundred people in Jingzhou, which was already the result of hard work.

"Jingzhou is so short of war horses because Cao Ying issued a ban?" Liu Feng asked a question that he already had an answer in his heart.

"Yes, since Cao Ying has the Central Plains, Xuzhou, and half of Yangzhou, a ban has been imposed on the south. Very few fine war horses from the north flowed into Jingzhou, and only occasionally people ventured to sell them from Liangzhou to Jingzhou through Hanzhong. But it's also expensive, and you can't buy it even if you have money. Zhao Yun nodded.

"The war horses of Liangzhou can flow from Hanzhong into Jingzhou?" Liu Feng was stunned and said in surprise.

You must know that Hanzhong is notoriously mountainous, and it is also Zhang Lu's territory, and the horse dealers pass through Hanzhong and arrive in Jingzhou, where the risks are terrifying.

"As long as there are benefits, there will be countless people who are willing to take risks." Zhao Yun smiled and replied.

Immediately, the two fell silent again. Liu Feng is a person who can speak well, but after all, the two have just come into contact, and there are not many topics.

After a moment of silence, Liu Feng suddenly asked with a smile: "If you come to prepare thousands of war horses, I wonder if General Zilong can have the confidence to train an iron horse that is the best in the world?" ”

This question is a good question, and Zhao Yun was a little stunned.

It's not that Zhao Yun didn't think that one day there would be so many war horses under his hands, but the situation simply didn't allow it.

However, there is always an ideal. Zhao Yun replied with a smile: "If one day, there are really thousands of war horses, two years at the earliest, or three years at the latest, they will train a world-class warrior for the lord." ”

In Zhao Yun's heart, he didn't take Liu Feng's words to heart at all, but Zhao Yun still said the ambition in his heart.

And when it came to cavalry, Zhao Yun's expression became very exciting, and he could be described as radiant. It is very different from the usual cautious and calm image.

However, Liu Feng really took it to heart.

Especially when I saw Zhao Yun's heroic face, firm and divine eyes. Sooner or later, tens of thousands of war horses will be given to the general, and more than 10,000 iron horses will be trained to run rampant all over the world.

Liu Feng made up his mind in his heart.

No matter how utilitarian and insidious the purpose of this visit is. But at this moment, Liu Feng's heart is sincere.

Zhao Yun's ambition is not his ambition. If Shu Han had 10,000 cavalry, he Cao Mengde would have trouble sleeping.
