The first thousand four hundred and sixty-four chapters Ma Dai taming the horse
Chapter 1,464 Ma Dai trains the horse
Once people have worries, they will not be able to focus on anything they do.
Zhang Ren is an example.
When he began to worry that he might lose, his mind became confused.
It didn't take long for Qiao Shan to bring in two war horses. In the past, the horses in Shu were mostly short-footed mountain horses that were good at climbing hills and rocks. But if they were to fight on the plains, they would lose speed and momentum.
Not as good as those horses in the north.
Liu Zhang also knew the truth of this, so after Liu Bei's defeat in Hanzhong, he invested a considerable amount of his fiscal revenue into the breeding of war horses.
Therefore, it is possible that the cavalry in other places in Yizhou still use some relatively short horses, but the army near Chengdu has long been equipped with elite war horses bred from excellent horse breeds borrowed from the Western Regions.
The reason why Baima Camp is called this is self-evident.
Ma Dai could tell at a glance that this horse had an extraordinary temperament. It was obviously a war horse in the army, but its temperament was not gentle at all. As soon as the horse walked away, the horse became restless and wanted to break free.
On the other side, the horses in front of Zhang Ren seemed particularly quiet. Zhang Ren slowly stepped forward and stroked the mane on the back of the horse with his hand. The horse meekly lowered its head and allowed him to stroke it at will.
Yes, Ma Dai immediately understood what was going on.
Qiao Shan was looking at Ma Dai coldly at the moment. Seeing that he was helpless by the violent horse in front of him, he felt happy in his heart.
He didn't care about fairness or unfairness, what he cared about was Zhang Ren's face and the dignity of their army.
This is Yizhou. Who would have allowed this kid to act so arrogantly here?
With this thought in mind, Qiao Shan was about to leave, but Zhang Ren suddenly scolded him harshly and made him stand still.
Of course Qiao Shan was smart and thought something had happened.
When he turned around, he saw Zhang Ren pointing at the horse behind him and shouting at him angrily:
"Qiao Shan, is this your fault?"
"Ah...General, this...I...you...what are you talking about?"
Qiao Shan subconsciously wanted to excuse himself, but unexpectedly Zhang Ren didn't give him this chance at all.
Because Zhang Ren walked directly to Ma Dai, bowed deeply to Ma Dai, and said to Ma Dai with a straight face:
"It's because of my poor discipline that my subordinates tampered with this horse."
"Your horse has a violent nature and should be used as a stallion in the army, while my horse is an excellent war horse... If the competition continues like this, you are bound to suffer a loss."
"I will ask him to find you another war horse that is equal to mine. If you are still not at ease, you can ride my horse. What do you think?"
Everyone in Qiaoshan was dumbfounded. They never thought that General Zhang Ren, who had always been arrogant, not only saw what he had done, but even apologized to the other party for it, showing that he did not accept his little tricks at all.
Qiao Shan, who felt bad, finally realized that Zhang Ren was planning to compete with the other party in an honest and upright manner, and he no longer even cared whether he would lose or win.
Then his behavior obviously ruined Zhang Ren's happiness.
The key point is that when Zhang Ren scolded him just now, he had already given him a hint. He never thought that he had misunderstood Zhang Ren's meaning.
After a moment of regret, Qiao Shan hurriedly came to the two of them and apologized to Ma Dai and Zhang Ren.
However, what no one expected was that Ma Dai suddenly smiled and patted the violent horses around him. Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows and said:
"General Zhang, I didn't realize anything about what you said. Could it be that you two teamed up to trick me?"
"In my opinion, this horse is very good. I like such a bad-tempered horse. A gentle and loyal horse is boring to ride!"
Zhang Ren was a little confused. It was clear that Ma Dai had already seen Ma Maer's problem, so why did he persist so much?
Qiao Shan suddenly became energetic. Seeing that Ma Dai not only did not blame himself, but also excused himself, he quickly responded from the side:
"Ah, yes, yes! My little brother has a unique vision. You are right. Although this horse has a bad temper, in terms of speed, there is no horse in the entire military camp that can be faster than him. What he lacks is someone who can tame him.
His people.”
"Since you, little brother, are destined to follow the horse, I won't disturb your preparations here."
As he said that, Qiao Shan was about to run away.
However, Zhang Ren still grabbed Qiao Shan's collar, glared at him fiercely, and said to him:
"After the competition, come to me in my tent. I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing Zhang Ren's words, Qiao Shan completely wilted, because he knew that Zhang Ren would definitely cause trouble for him in the future.
——
On one side is Ma Dai, who is struggling to tame the stallion, and on the other side, he has finished running in with the horse. Just wait for Ma Dai to speak, and Zhang Ren can immediately mount the horse to compete.
However, after a long time passed, even the soldiers in the stands began to feel bored and became noisy.
Of course they were asking what Ma Dai was doing and why he kept Zhang Ren waiting for him.
But how could Qiao Shan, who was in the audience, dare to explain...
His mind was in a mess, and his thoughts had already drifted to an unknown place.
Finally, as the horse on Ma Dai's side of the field neighed loudly, Ma Dai jumped onto his horse. The horse jumped high and rushed out of the field, heading straight towards Qiao outside the field.
The mountains run away.
This is no joke. The reason why cavalry in ancient times was so powerful was not only that the cavalry themselves were extremely strong physically, but also that the horses under them were also powerful.
A galloping war horse, even if the person in front of him is wearing a helmet and holding a shield, will inevitably end up being smashed to pieces if he is hit by the horse, let alone Qiao Shan, who is only wearing light clothing now.
Qiao Shan was shaken all over and fell directly from the stool to his back, falling on all fours.
However, how could he dare to be lazy? No matter how badly he fell, he had to get up quickly and escape to a safer position.
But when he stood up in embarrassment and was about to run away, he heard Ma Dai's high-pitched voice calling the horse from behind:
"Hush!!"
Judging from the distance from which the sound came, Qiao Shan knew that he might not be able to escape, so he could only huddle on the ground and huddle up, praying that the horse would pass over him directly instead of hitting him directly.
However, the sounds from the surrounding soldiers revealed the outcome.
Qiao Shan closed his eyes tightly. It took him a while to realize that nothing had happened to him, and when he heard the rough breathing of a war horse in front of him, he dared to open his eyes and take a good look at the situation in front of him.
As a result, he saw the horse lowering its head and blowing air at him with its big nostrils.
And what about Ma Dai?
Of course, Ma Dai controlled the horse with incomparable precision, making the violent horse stop obediently just a few feet in front of Qiaoshan.
