As a distinguished guest, Ding Yang naturally walked with Xiao Chaoqing.  "And the Khitan is indeed the overlord of the prairie at this time, and any horse they pull out is extremely handsome.  In the world a thousand years later, all the horses Ding Yang has ridden are bad horses used in film and television tourist attractions.  Nothing compares to the horses ridden by the nobles of the Liao Kingdom in front of me. Just seeing it makes my eyes light up.  "Good horses, indeed they are all good horses!" Even the horses that pull the carriage are extremely handsome, not to mention how elegant the horses riding by Xiao Chaoqing's guards are!  At a glance, among the hundred or so horses, none of them had a mottled mane.  They are all black, and the shortest horses are at least 150 centimeters tall and 160 centimeters long.  Seeing that he liked him, Xiao Chaoqing looked up to the sky and laughed and made a promise: "What are these horses? There are countless good horses in the royal tent of my Majesty. When we get to Linhuang Mansion, I can choose whatever I want." "Okay, then.  It¡¯s a deal! When we get to Linhuang Mansion, your Majesty will have to choose some good horses for me!¡± ¡°A man on the grassland would rather bleed than lie. If you can¡¯t choose a good horse that suits your needs,  Xiao Chaoqing will tear off this head to make amends to the real person! " "What do I want from your head? King Xiao is joking! But I believe that there are not many good horses in the Khitan army!" "  Hahaha, of course! We are not as good as the Han people in silk, ceramics and ironware, but when it comes to good horses, if I, the Khitan, can be ranked second, who in the world will dare to be ranked first?"  Quite far away, Xiao Chaoqing directly gave his mount to Ding Yang.  I have to say that Xiao Chaoqing¡¯s horse is named Ta Xue, and it is indeed pitch black, with only four hooves covered in white.  I ran so fast that there were really snowflakes flashing under the dark clouds.  Ding Yang was originally a person who couldn't ride a horse. After a thousand years, he only rode a horse a few times, mainly for fun.  Usually someone leads the horse slowly in front, while he rides on the horse and walks slowly.  But it¡¯s obvious that you can¡¯t ride a horse like this now. The equestrian skills of the nomadic people on the grassland are all excellent.  Basically, they can¡¯t walk yet and have learned to ride a horse first.  Even though many nobles of Khitan were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, they all learned Chinese characters and spoke Chinese one by one.  However, no one has failed in horseback riding skills. Even the Khitan nobles, who are the most Chinese-speaking, have excellent equestrian skills.  Fortunately, Ding Yang continues to practice the mysterious air lock every day, so his own senses are very sensitive, and the coordination of his body and limbs is also extremely good.  It only took half a day from when I first learned to ride a horse, to when I was almost glued to the horse and off the horse.  This speed of progress immediately frightened all the Khitans.  It seems that I still can¡¯t ride a horse in the morning, but by the time I set up camp in the afternoon, I could ride better than anyone else.  Even if there is indeed a good master who gives careful guidance and can practice continuously at any time, this speed of progress is too scary, right?  You can see the rapid progress with the naked eye, and you will reach a new state after a while.  In addition, when Xiao Chaoqing asked for help from him, he spared no effort to provide personal guidance or let the best equestrian guards under his tent demonstrate it.  ¡°These are all experienced masters of horseback riding, the kind of strong men who can do everything on horseback whether eating or sleeping.  Ding Yang really learned a lot of little skills that had been lost long ago from them.  After leaving Tokyo City, follow the Yellow River and cross Xiangzhou, go to Damingfu, leave Hejianfu and arrive at Xijinfu, which is considered to have officially entered the metropolis of the Liao Kingdom.  ??Jinjin Prefecture was the administrative seat of the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, and the Nanjing Road basically covered most of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and part of it was within the jurisdiction of the Xijing Road.  And after crossing Xijinfu and heading north, you can see the Great Wall built since ancient times.  It was originally a border defense place during the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it was dedicated to the Khitan by Shi Jingtang with both hands and became the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom.  Along the way, Xiao Chaoqing was always enthusiastic about instilling the customs and customs of the Liao Kingdom into Ding Yang. Naturally, he also had to talk about the majesty of the Liao Kingdom's iron hoof.  ¡°I also have to admire his very good memory and his extensive knowledge.  No matter where he passed, he could tell the corresponding historical allusions.  Even the year and month of the wars that took place here, and the specific conditions of the fighting at that time, can all be explained clearly.  Ding Yang was not lonely along the way. Following the progress of the mission, he gained a lot of knowledge.  Along the way, whether they were officials from the Song Dynasty or officials from the Liao Kingdom, they all showed special respect to Xiao Chaoqing. ??After entering the territory of the Liao Kingdom, especially after crossing the Nanjing Road and heading north.  Along the way, you can often see nomadic herdsmen and herds of cattle, sheep and horses.  After traveling on this prairie for a long time, Ding Yang felt that his mind had broadened a lot.  He has been to many places a thousand years later, but they were all filled with the roar of mining machines in factories and mines.  There is no such thing as the current situation where cattle and sheep are invisible to the wind and grass. It is really refreshing to watch.  The further he walked, the more Ding Yang's understanding of the Liao Kingdom became stronger and stronger.  It turned out that the Liao and Song dynasties had made great efforts in the north and south, and during the two hundred years since their founding, they must have moved from a nomadic state to a farming state.  But I never thought that after seeing it with my own eyes, I would realize that this was not the case at all.  Unlike the Song Dynasty, the territory of the Liao Kingdom was not full of villages, and smoke was curling up at night.  Sometimes I can walk here for several days without seeing any human beings at all.  In addition to the prairie, it is also the prairie.  There are many tribes grazing cattle, but few farmers farming.  Overall, it is still a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural state.  In fact, the number of nomadic tribes far exceeds the number of farmers, and most of them are still migrating their residences.  In Ding Yang¡¯s opinion, some towns in the Liao Kingdom were not as lively as the small villages that would be a thousand years later.  These so-called towns are basically just surrounded by some wooden fences and barely make up a market.  Not to mention the city wall, some places don't even have wooden fences.  Ding Yang grinned as he looked at it, not knowing how to evaluate this situation.  "But Xiao Chaoqing was very proud to introduce to Ding Yang where and what kind of fierce war happened in that year.  The Liao army defeated the rebellious tribe at that location.  How powerful the tribes that originally lived here were, with how many tents and horses they had under their control; how the tribes that originally occupied the richest water and grass were wiped out by the Khitans.  Which tribe¡¯s cattle are good, which tribe¡¯s sheep are delicious, which tribe¡¯s men are good at herding, which tribe¡¯s women¡¯s limbs are supple, anyway, Xiao Chaoqing always has something to say.  At first, he thought that these towns in Liao Kingdom had no civilized atmosphere at all, but later with Xiao Chaoqing's introduction, Ding Yang gradually understood.  This may be the characteristic of the prairie. All that can be described is iron and fire. ???????? Apart from looting and war, there is no concept of construction at all.  As long as there are swords, horses and people, that is enough.  No matter how good the construction is, it will still need to be abandoned when there is not enough water and grass for grazing.  There is no need to build at all. The entire prairie is full of places to settle down.  Along the way, Ding Yang got to see the food of these Khitan people, and he was really not used to it.  Large pieces of beef and mutton are grilled on the fire.  After taking it down, each person divided a piece and started eating.  The more elegant ones use knives to cut the meat, while more people simply grab it with their hands and eat it directly, tearing it apart and biting it.  The pieces of meat are basically very large pieces. They say they are barbecued, but in fact they are not cooked at all.  So Ding Yang watched these people tear them up and eat them half-cooked. The meat was accompanied by kumiss or spirits from the Central Plains.  A mouthful of meat, a mouthful of wine, and at most some naan bread.  They are also large round cakes, each piece is as big as a basketball.  While drinking wine and eating meat, eat some naan bread.  Finally, Xiao Chaoqing was a little more polite and took care of Ding Yang's taste, asking his men to cut the beef and mutton into small pieces and grill them.  But this kind of rough lifestyle is still new to Ding Yang for three days and two days, but it becomes a bit unbearable for a long time.  Watching them eat half-cooked beef and mutton, a lot of the meat is still red with blood.  Ding Yang finally understood why Mao and the Song Dynasty would feel sincerely frightened when they heard about the Khitan cavalry.  According to the scientific research results of later generations, nomadic peoples have more developed muscles after eating meat for a long time.  " Just like athletes after a thousand years, their nutritious meals are basically a small amount of salt and oil, and then use beef and chicken as the staple food to ensure good exercise status.  Ding Yang has also heard that steaks in Western food seem to be in the best condition of medium-rare or medium-rare.  It is said that nutrients can only be preserved in this state.  If the meat is completely cooked, there will be much less amino acids or other nutrients such as iron, zinc and calcium in it.  People eat meat like this, but the people in the Song Dynasty only eat rice and wheat. The physical fitness between the two is really incomparable.  Even though the dishes of the Song Dynasty were delicious, they really couldn't compare to others in terms of nutrition.  Of course, eating mainly meat is not good for a healthy and long life. A light diet is more beneficial to health.  ? ?In today's world, it is obviously meaningless to pay attention to health maintenance, and the average life span is very low.  Ding Yang felt that if he wanted to establish a new Song Dynasty in the future, meat from the grasslands should be introduced to ordinary people on a large scale.  Since she is not used to eating these things, Ding Yan simply takes out all kinds of good things from the storage ring to eat.  Even the instant food produced a thousand years later will far surpass these half-cooked meats in terms of taste alone.  So whenever Ding Yang brought something out, it would cause the entire mission to exclaim.  He is not stingy, no matter how much, he will definitely let these people have a taste of something new.  Along the way, I have to say that everyone in the mission respected Ding Yang very much.  Of course, Ding Yang couldn't treat them with less interest.  Good wine and delicious food, I can¡¯t say that they are all available, at least they are diverse.  The further he walked, the more everyone became more in awe of his attitude. ??????????? Bamiao Zhenren is indeed extraordinary!
