Text Chapter 361 Traveling a Thousand Miles a Day

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At dawn the next day, the army started heading south.

    Chao Yong asked Lu Junyi to take charge of the entire army, and he came to Tokyo first.

    Speeding all the way, Chao Yong actually entered Tokyo before the city gate closed.

    The journey here was a thousand miles, and it took Chao Yong three days to change horses.  The mount was replaced by a Teruya Jade Lion Horse, but in just one day, he actually traveled thousands of miles and returned to Tokyo.

    Chao Yong entered the city, which was still a bit unbelievable, but the jade lion and horse in Zhaoye were also very tired, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

    As he entered the city, Chao Yong got off his horse, patted the sweaty Zhaoye Jade Lion and said, "Good fellow, let me give you extra food tonight."

    Zhaoye Jade Lion nodded his head up and down as if he understood.

    In front of the palace, Xu Ning, the commander of the Royal Forest Army and the Golden Spear General, had just left the palace and was preparing to go home.

    ??Suddenly a magnificent white horse appeared on the street, one foot long from head to tail and eight feet high.

    Xu Ning's eyes widened immediately when he saw this horse. He had seen many good horses raised in the palace, but none of them had this divine horse.

    There are indeed some good horses in the palace. They are tall and big, and they look like thousand-mile horses.  But these horses only have the shape of a thousand-mile horse, but not the strength of a thousand-mile horse. They are stronger than the best horses of the Liao Kingdom, and their endurance is not as good as the horses of the Liao Kingdom.

    Most of these horses are the descendants of the Chollima horses collected by the previous emperors. Each of them is in good shape and considered a good horse, but they have not been tempered by the wild environment.  These horses can be said to be pampered. Although the flowers in the greenhouse have good congenital conditions, they are no longer horses.

    "Hey, the man leading the horse looks like a prince."

    The prince has been to Hebei for just seven days. It will probably take seven days to come back and forth. He is definitely not the prince.

    Xu Ning shook his head and rejected his idea.  But when the man got closer and closer, Xu Ning couldn't help but rub his eyes, then opened his eyes wide and looked over, and he saw that it was really the prince.

    Xu Ning hurriedly walked up to meet him and reached out to lead the horse.

    The jade lion in Zhaoye snorted and opened its mouth to bite.

    Chao Yong took a photo of the Night Jade Lion, and the Night Jade Lion calmed down and allowed Xu Ning to take the reins of the horse.

    Xu Ning asked curiously: "The prince came back from the front line in Hebei?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Is it possible that I went to hide somewhere else for a few days?"

    Xu Ning smiled and said: "If the prince does not dare to go to the battlefield, then no one in the world will dare to go to the battlefield. It's just that the prince has been to Hebei for only seven days. Why did he come back so soon? Could it be that he has already defeated the Liao Kingdom?"

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, we defeated the Liao soldiers yesterday, captured thousands of Liao soldiers, and asked for 15,000 horses from the Liao Kingdom. I came back first this morning to prepare the rewards for the army.  The three armies will then rush to the northwest."

    Xu Ning was not surprised to defeat the Liao army. After all, the prince led the army and had not yet been defeated, and the Liao Kingdom was no longer the powerful Liao Kingdom it had been before.  I'm just a little surprised that I won so quickly.  But what surprised him was the last sentence.

    Xu Ning was stunned and said: "The prince just set off from the front line this morning?"

    Chao Yong touched the Zhaoye Jade Lion and said with a smile: "Thanks to it, this is a real thousand-mile horse."

    He travels a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles in a night.

    This is a thousand-mile horse recorded in history books, but Xu Ning has never seen it before. Now that he heard that the horse in front of him was a thousand-mile horse, he couldn't help but look at it with hot eyes.

    The Zhaoye Jade Lion, who was not afraid of tigers and leopards, snorted uneasily.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "You see, I will leave the war horse here. I will go into the palace to greet the emperor and the empress. I will talk to you tomorrow. After running a thousand miles, the Jade Lion in the Light of the Night is fine, but my bones are a little bit  Falling apart."

    Xu Ning looked at the Jade Lion Zhaoye with fascination and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me. The Emperor has just returned to the harem. I am here to look at the horses."

    Chao Yong saw Xu Ning caressing the Zhaoye Jade Lion inch by inch, as if he were seeing his beloved woman, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and walked quickly to the palace.

    He also loves horses, but not so obsessed with them.

    Chao Gaizheng and He were having dinner in the harem. When they heard that the prince was coming back, they hurriedly asked Chao Yong to come in.

    Chao Yong bent down and said, "I have met my father and the emperor and my mother."

    Chao Gai smiled and said: "I just received the battle report from the front line today, and you are back. Could it be that you also traveled all night?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No, I broke out camp with the army this morning. Duan Jingzhu snatched a thousand-mile horse from the Emperor of Liao for me. I didn't expect that it can really travel a thousand miles in a day. I started from Xiongzhou this morning, and now  Already arrived in Tokyo.¡±

    Chao Gai heard that he was really a thousand-mile horse, and his eyes were shining.He said: "Is it outside? I'll go take a look."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I just met Xu Ning outside the palace. He wanted to see the horses, so I stayed there."

    Chao Gai nodded and said, "Then I'll see another day. How did you arrange the Hebei troops?"

    The good news Chao Gai received was only the results of the battle, and nothing else was mentioned.

    Chao Yong said: "I left 10,000 men to guard Hebei. I asked him to be the defense envoy of Hebei and in charge of the troops and horses of Hebei. I gave him 10,000 horses and asked him to train a cavalry. A total of 20,000 were captured.  Many war horses have been replenished in each army. The remaining 10,000 horses have been sent to Tokyo. Tokyo can also train a cavalry force. Lu Junyi, Dong Ping, Guan Sheng, and Han Cunbao have already decamped and headed south.  Take them to assist Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue."

    "Okay, I will give the order tomorrow."

    Chao Gai first agreed to Chao Yong's promise, and then said: "Have the Liao soldiers and horses retreated?"

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "After the Liao army was defeated yesterday, the Emperor of Liao redeemed the captured soldiers and went to Huoli. This is where the Emperor of Liao lived in Xia Nabo, and it was also where Yelu Yanxi spent summer vacation and hunting.  The Liao soldiers and horses have also returned to their respective territories. They will not go south in the short term. I am afraid that they will be even less able to go south. "

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "In this way, leaving 10,000 troops and horses is enough. I'm afraid the situation in the northwest is not good. I didn't expect that the little Xixia could actually dispatch 400,000 troops. The Western army has already rushed to Qinfeng Road. Old Zhong  The Minister of Economic Affairs is trying to persuade them to submit to our court. Some of them are Tong Guan's confidants and are ready to defect to the Southern Song Dynasty. However, their officers and soldiers are all from the northwest states. Some state capitals have fallen into the hands of Xixia, and only we, Daliang, can do it.  Send troops to assist them, so there is still a high possibility that Mr. Zhong will persuade them. Even if those generals want to join Tong Guan, they will not be able to bring many Western troops with them. However, these Western troops marched more than a thousand miles in a hurry.  After fighting with the Manichaeans for a long time, the army was exhausted and had no choice but to rest in Weizhou and restore its fighting strength. The state capital to the west of Weizhou had no choice but to give up. "

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Father, don't worry. After the army goes south, I will rest for a day and then lead the troops to the northwest. However, I have to ask my father to reward the three armies and boost their morale. Otherwise, the soldiers will suffer even if they run thousands of miles continuously."  "

    "Okay, after they go south, I will personally reward the three armies." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
