While my uncle and the others were regretting that they had not been able to find a solution, Zhu Ping'an had already arrived at the parade ground. The parade ground was filled with the neighing of horses and the braying of mules, and it had become a sea of horses.
Liu Dadao was taming a majestic black horse with a circle of white hair on its four hooves. A group of soldiers surrounded him, cheering him on.
Just as modern people like luxury cars, ancient people's obsession with BMW was definitely even greater than that.
The phrase "A BMW goes with a hero" is enough to explain everything. Which man doesn't want to own a Wu Ya, Red Hare, Di Lu and Huang Fei Dian
In ancient times, a BMW horse would attract as much attention and be as popular as a modern supercar.
During the breaks in training, the soldiers gathered around to watch Liu Dadao train his horse, and the soldiers currently training couldn't help but salute him frequently.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an coming, Liu Dadao didn't care about training the horse. He quickly dismounted and trotted over to greet Zhu Ping'an, reporting the situation excitedly, "Sir, sir, we bought 120 fine horses on this trip, including a BMW from Dayuan, the big horse with white hair on its four hooves; in addition to these 120 fine horses, there are also 200 ordinary horses and 308 strong mules."
After hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but frowned and asked seriously, "Why did you buy so many horses and mules? Dadao, you didn't force the sale, did you? A good horse would cost at least thirty taels of silver, not to mention that extraordinary BMW. Three thousand taels of silver, only to buy a hundred good horses..."
"Don't worry, sir. We won't force you to buy or sell anything. We know the Four Iron Laws and Eighteen Slashes by heart. 'First, follow orders in all actions. Only by moving in unison can we win. Second, don't take a single needle or thread from the masses. The masses support and like me...'. Sir, the reason we can buy so many horses and mules is that Suzhou Prefecture helped us pay for them. We only had enough money to buy 100 good horses. But when we were buying horses at the horse market, the market supervisor secretly reported to the prefect, and the prefect sent someone with the money to buy up all the remaining horses and mules in the horse market and gave them all to us. I couldn't refuse, so I had to bring all the horses and mules back."
Liu Dadao explained, patting his chest.
"Oh, that's good. I was wrong about you. You did a great job. With so many horses and mules, we can form our Lancers. I will write a letter later to thank Mr. Fu for his help."
After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an felt relieved. He patted Liu Dadao on the shoulder and encouraged him.
I really want to thank Suzhou Prefecture. It is rare to meet such a supportive and cooperative prefect who contributes money, effort and materials.
This time we must protect the city of Suzhou.
"Sir, Suzhou is really rich. The market supervisor came in with silver bills without blinking an eye. If there weren't so many horses and mules in the market, they would have bought as many as they could..."
Liu Dadao described the scene of the market supervisor entering the market to buy horses, and he was amazed.
Zhu Ping'an went downstairs to check the purchased horses and mules and was very satisfied. Among the 120 good horses, 100 were good horses from the north, all of which were good war horses and could become war horses after a little training. Twenty were tall and strong horses from the Western Regions, which were much taller than the horses from the north and could be called quasi-BMWs.
Those 200 ordinary horses were all strong and good horses, and even the 308 mules were all strong and tall. Mules are the cross between horses and donkeys, born from mares. They are taller and bigger than donkeys, and are not inferior to horses.
Zhu Ping'an was very satisfied.
"Sir, this BMW is given to you by the Lord of the Mansion. Please give it a name. Although it is a raw horse, I can tame it for you in two days." Liu Dadao led the black horse with white hair on all four hooves over and presented it to Zhu Ping'an, asking Zhu Ping'an to give the BMW a name.
Zhu Pingan touched the horse's head, stroked its mane, and couldn't help but admire it, "This is a rare BMW that only comes once in decades."
"It's rare to see this once in decades? Is that true?"
After hearing this, Liu Dadao and a group of soldiers couldn't help but be amazed, and the soldiers who were resting gathered around them.
"You all know the King of Chu, Xiang Yu, right?" Zhu Ping'an asked with a smile.
"Sir, we know that he is the strongest man in Chu and Han with the strength to move mountains and the courage to unleash the world." A group of soldiers said one after another.
"Then do you know that he drives a BMW?" Zhu Pingan asked again.
"I know, it's the BMW Wuzhui." Many soldiers knew the King of Chu's BMW and shouted out the name Wuzhui.
"Haha, that's right. The King of Chu was the most powerful general of the Chu-Han War, and his horse, Wuzhui, was also the most powerful horse of the Chu-Han War. Wuzhui was a black horse, its entire body was like black satin, shiny and glossy, except for its four hooves, which were white, whiter than snow. Wuzhui had a long back and a short, straight waist, and its limbs had well-developed joints and tendons..."
Zhu Ping'an showed everyone the appearance of the black horse.
"Ah, isn't it similar to your horse? Your horse is also shiny black, with only a circle of white hair on its hooves. It also has a long back, a short waist and is straight, and its limbs are as strong as pillars."
After hearing this, all the soldiers couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yes, this horse is 80% similar to the Black Horse of King Chu. Such horses have a story since ancient times..."
Zhu Pingan said with a smile.
"What's the story?" Everyone couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This kind of horse is called 'Treading Snow Black Zhui', just like the horse with white spots on its forehead is called 'Di Lu'." Zhu Ping'an said slowly.
"The Black Horse that Walks on Snow?! It turns out this horse is so famous." All the soldiers looked fascinated.
"That's right. Since the King of Chu took away 'Wu Zhui' as his chariot, let's call our horse 'Ta Xue'." Zhu Ping'an stroked the BMW's mane. "I hope you don't live up to the reputation of 'Ta Xue Wu Zhui'."
"Taxue, what a good name. It sounds even cooler than Wuzhui."
"That's not true. No matter how powerful Xiang Yu was, he was just a warrior. Our master is the God of Literature who has descended to earth."
All the soldiers cheered, and the rustic horses appeared one after another.
Zhu Pingan couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand to stop the crowd from making a noise, and said to the soldiers, "Taxue is a divine horse, and I usually command from the center. If Taxue follows me, it will be unfair to it."
"So, I have decided to give this horse to you. Of course, with so many of you, there is not enough horse to share. You can't just slice the BMW into pieces. The Japanese pirates in Songjiang Prefecture are ready to make a move, and they have repeatedly sent spies to spy on Suzhou Prefecture. Their ambitions are obvious. Whoever performs best in this Japanese invasion will be given the divine horse 'Treading Snow' as a reward. In the meantime, the horse 'Treading Snow' will be temporarily ridden by Liu Dadao, who bought the horse."
Zhu Ping'an made a promise loudly to all the soldiers.
"Really?"
After hearing this, all the soldiers' eyes lit up.
"Of course, I can't take back my words once they've been spoken. Have you ever seen me break my promise and get away with it?"
Zhu Pingan said loudly.
“Oh oh oh…”
"Captain Liu, you must treat my horse well. Don't be reluctant to feed it fine grains. Don't ride it too often. Don't let me break it."
"What do you mean your horse? It's obviously mine."
All the soldiers were immediately excited, and they all shouted as if they were given an injection of chicken blood.
When they started training, they seemed to be risking their lives, training to death, mustering their strength, hoping to make merit in the war and win a BMW.
