Li Mengxi fell off his horse, just like piaca and landed on his face.

At the time of the incident, Li Mengxi was preparing to go to Guangzong County to inspect people's livelihood. Li Mengxi did not know how to ride, and the snow was heavy on the road and the vehicle was very slow, so he grabbed the horse's mane on horseback and was helped by the soldiers in front.

Go on horseback.

Unfortunately, he got a ride on a wild horse. When walking on the road, the horse was dishonest and always wanted to jump up. Li Mengxi used a whip to lightly whip it twice. The horse was not happy and knocked Li Mengxi off.

Fortunately, the snow was thick, so I fell on my face and left a human-shaped mark on the snow, but nothing happened.

After returning from a round of inspections and returning to the city, the bodyguard in charge reported to Liu Bei the incident of Li Mengxi's downfall.

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly came over to inquire. Zhang Fei came, Guan Yu came, Lu Zhi came, Jian Yong came, and the military doctor Tian Bu came.

Not long after Li Mengxi returned, a large group of people came.

When Liu Bei asked about the fall of the horse, Li Mengxi was a little embarrassed, "The horse was not honest, he bumped me, and I fell off without paying attention."

Everyone laughed.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "If nothing happens, it will be fine. If nothing happens, it will be fine. Next time we go out, we'd better take a car."

At this time, Lu Zhi looked at Li Mengxi and interjected, "Mengxi, have you ever learned riding?"

Li Mengxi couldn't help but look down at his feet. It seemed that he had grown taller in the past year or so.

Li Mengxi looked at Lu Zhi and asked hesitantly, "Am I suitable for learning riding at my current size?"

Lu Zhi immediately laughed and said, "I can ride a horse like flying at the age of ten. You don't have to lower your head, you can learn it."

Li Mengxi thought, since he can learn it, he might as well start.

It's just the beginning of winter, and I have some time to relax. I just have time to learn riding skills.

Li Mengxi always acted vigorously and decisively. He would do whatever he thought of immediately without missing a moment.

The first step in learning to ride is to choose a good horse.

Li Mengxi ordered the generals and their horses to gather outside Nancheng and tie them up in the wind and snow.

Thousands of war horses gathered in one place, and the huge group of horses was extremely shocking.

On the city wall, amid heavy snowfall, Li Mengxi looked down at the crowd of horses below.

Everyone accompanied Li Mengxi to freeze in the snow.

Among the crowd, Lu Zhi was the most curious.

In Lu Zhi's eyes, Li Mengxi had extraordinary talents. In Lu Zhi's eyes, Li Mengxi almost had a halo.

It is said that there is a skill in judging horses. When Lu Zhi saw Li Mengxi summoning all the horses, he thought that Li Mengxi wanted to select a divine horse from thousands of horses. Lu Zhi thought that Li Mengxi knew how to judge horses.

What made Lu Zhi even more curious was that he was curious about how Li Mengxi would approach horses.

Li Mengxi really has to carefully select a good horse, but his method of selecting a good horse is different from others.

Looking up at Guan Yu, Li Mengxi said, "General Guan, please sound the dysprosium."

Guan Yu nodded. He took out his bow, put three dynasties on it, and pulled the bow open with a creak. The moment he let go, the bow strings vibrated, and the three dynasties flew into the sky with a chirping sound.

At the moment when the Ming Dy was fired, and when the scream of the Ming Dy was heard, Li Mengxi stared at the vast crowd of horses outside the city with wide eyes.

When the chirping sound was heard, the horses were called, and one of the horses in the herd, Herod, neighed to his feet.

Li Mengxi quickly pointed to the horse and said to Guan Yu, "I want that, I want that."

He is like a child, like a child asking his parents for toys.

Guan Yu laughed and said, "Let's go and see what a good horse it is."

——

The alert war horse was found among the horses. When the horse was brought forward, everyone fell silent.

What a rough horse this is. This is a very old horse. The horse is very thin, and its tail is bald due to old age. The fur on the horse's body is also incomplete. It is suspected that it is due to injury. The horse's back is

There were mottled and hairless bald patches on its belly, and the most ugly thing was the horse's head. One of its ears was missing, one eye was blind, and its eyes were all gray.

To be honest, when he first saw this horse, Li Mengxi was very reluctant. The horse was too ugly and did not match Li's handsome temperament.

Even Liu Bei thought it was shabby, so he couldn't help but persuade Li Mengxi, "Xi'er, why don't you change it to another one?"

Li Mengxi was indifferent. He raised his head and stared at the old horse's eyes, staring at the old horse's eye that was not blind. He stood on tiptoes, tried hard to reach out and put his hand in front of its eye to shake it to see what was left of it.

Just how the eyes look.

The horse was very tall and Li Mengxi could not reach the horse's head. At this time, the old horse may have sensed Li Mengxi's kindness, and in a humane manner, he bent his head and licked Li Mengxi's hand.

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, his hands were itching, and he chuckled.

"I want this." Li Mengxi happily turned around and said to everyone.

Li Mengxi had his own considerations when choosing a war horse. Compared to the horse's ability to charge into battle, Li Mengxi preferred to choose a war horse that was alert enough to sense danger.

Li Mengxi was not willing to do such a dangerous thing as charging into battle, so there was no need for a powerful horse.

In the "Animal Warfare" compiled by Li Mengxi, one of the items of "Horse" is that there are five uses for war horses. First, an old horse knows the way. War horses generally remember the way as they get older. An old horse has a bald tail.

A war horse must have a strong ability to remember paths.

The second use of a war horse is that a thirsty horse knows water. A horse's sense of smell is much more sensitive than a human's. Horses can find water sources several miles away, but humans cannot. There is no doubt that finding water requires experience. An old horse has less experience in finding water than a young and energetic one.

War horses have more experience.

The third use of war horses is to guard against enemies at night. War horses, like dogs, have sensitive hearing and stronger warning capabilities than humans. The more experienced a war horse is in survival and the more danger it has experienced, the stronger its vigilance will be.

The fourth use of the war horse is that sometimes, when crossing a snow-capped mountain, people are not aware of the danger of the snow-capped mountains, but the war horse will suddenly stop moving forward. At this time, if the war horse behaves abnormally, it should stop moving forward immediately.

Li Mengxi was not prepared to charge into battle, so the early warning role of the war horse was even more important.

Li Mengxi was feeding Lao Ma with fried beans in his hand, and he was communicating with Lao Ma in his own way.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Zhi came over and took a look at the old and skinny horse with rugged bones. He asked in confusion why he chose such an old and weak horse.

After Li Mengxi informed Lu Zhi of the reason, Lu Zhi was greatly surprised.

In order to verify whether this old horse is really alert or simply easily stressed and simply manic, Li Mengxi decided to give it a try.

Li Mengxi didn't know how to ride a horse yet. To make it easier to ride, he took out the stirrups and saddle that were hidden from anyone and put them on. The stirrups and saddle were hidden under the silk satin. From the outside, it looked like a piece of silk was placed on the back of the war horse.

, nothing can be seen easily.

The horse was very tall, and Li Mengxi jumped several times but failed to step on the horse's stirrups as expected. Liu Bei and others knew that Li Mengxi didn't like to be supported by others, so they looked on with smiles and were not prepared to help.

Lu Zhi didn't know this. Lu Zhi saw Li Mengxi jumping again and again and was worried that he couldn't jump up. He wanted to come over and help him. Before Lu Zhi could move his steps, the old horse, who was quite humane, knelt down automatically to let Li Mengxi get up.

.

"What a horse!" Li Mengxi couldn't help but praise.

Get on the horse, sit firmly in the saddle, hide your feet in the stirrups covered by silk, and sit firmly.

The old horse, who was very humane under his seat, automatically stood up again.

Li Mengxi pulled up the reins and said to everyone, "Everyone, would you like to compete with someone? Let's try it and see whose horse is more alert. How about it?"

In horse racing, some are faster, some are more powerful, and some are more clever than others. Everyone found it interesting and participated in it one after another.

Everyone rode their own horses to participate in the competition. Liu Guanzhang's horse, Lu Zhi's horse, and Jian Yong's horse were all strong horses. Li Mengxi's horse was a thin old horse with a bald tail.

Summoned Liao Hua and ordered him to lead three hundred troops to ambush at any place.

Liao Hua was puzzled and asked cautiously, "Where is the ambush?"

"Anywhere will do, just find a place yourself and don't let us know.

When you see us entering an ambush, you can just bring some killing generals out to surround us and kill us."

Liao Hua hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and bowed before accepting the order.

——

Liao Hua went out to ambush, and he led the people one step ahead.

Two moments later, Li Mengxi and his party set off slowly.

Walking on the road, Li Mengxi looked at the footprints along the way and smiled.

He pointed to the messy footprints printed on the snow and said to everyone, "Liao Hua apologized and thought about it. You see, in this snowy day, there is no way to hide the footprints. Others can see clearly by following the footprints, so how can they ambush others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei drove his horse up and said, "What's so difficult about this? Let the soldiers drag the big branches, walk in front and sweep them behind. Won't the footprints be covered?"

Guan Yu turned around and said suspiciously, "This is different from marching when there is no snow. When there is no snow, the branches will be swept away and the dust will destroy the footprints.

When the snow is deep and heavy, if you step on it, the footprints will be as deep as your knees, and the branches may not be completely buried.”

Jian Yong also came up to answer, "Although it can't completely cover the footprints, it only needs to be smoothed out for a while, and the footprints will be covered up after the snow falls for a while, so it will still be useful."

Guan Yu was still doubtful, "We still have to wait. What if we can't wait, what if the snow stops?"

Liu Bei came up at the right time and said, "I think it might as well be like this. When the soldiers are ambushing in the snow, the people in front will set foot, and the people behind will step on the footsteps of the people in front. In this way, hundreds of people march, leaving only a single line of footprints."

At the end of the team, leave a few people to clean up the aftermath. The latter will hold a long board and wipe out the footprints left one by one. In this way, won't there be no traces left?"

Everyone agreed that Liu Bei's method was excellent, and they all praised it.
