Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137 Taming the Mount
Liu He walked around the two horses, looking at them again and again.

Although these two horses are still young, they have strong physiques and almost perfect muscle lines. As for their demeanor, they are incomparable to ordinary war horses. In front of other war horses, they really stand out from the crowd and are extraordinary!
The two horses noticed the arrival of Liu He and his companions, and they raised their heads and neighed in clear and loud voices, especially the light yellow horse. Its neigh was so loud that it resounded through the sky and startled several ordinary war horses nearby.

"A divine horse, it is indeed a divine horse!"

The three men were so excited that they went up and tried to touch the two horses.

However, as the saying goes, "wild nature is hard to tame", although the two horses were captured by the Zhang and Su families with great difficulty, they were not ordinary animals after all, so how could they surrender so easily? Even if they were tied in the stable, they still moved around and refused to let the three people touch them at all, appearing to be extremely irritable.

"Brother, these two horses don't look easy to tame, but with your riding and martial arts skills, it's no problem. Please pick one first, so that Gongyi and I can have a look!"

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said this. Liu He was also somewhat moved, but he soon thought of something else.

It is now February, and there is less than a month left before the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out. The weapons and armor of these people are ready, but they lack good mounts.

Liu He already has the Black King, and although it will take some time before he can ride it, it is not extremely urgent.

In comparison, Guan Yu and his men needed better war horses more than he did, especially Guan Yu. His Spring and Autumn swordsmanship must be equipped with a divine horse to exert greater power.

Liu He grabbed Guan Yu and Cheng Liang's hands and said with a smile, "You two brothers, there is no need to be modest. I already have the Black King, so you two brothers should ride these two horses."

"Brother..." The two wanted to say something, but Liu He pretended to be angry and glared at them.

"Well, since big brother said so, I will respectfully obey your command!"

The two men clasped their fists and smiled, then looked at the two BMWs, their eyes filled with joy and even enthusiasm.

War horses are like the second life of a military general, and their importance even exceeds that of weapons and armor. There is no famous general who does not love good horses, let alone top-notch generals like Guan Yu and Cheng Liang!
"Two uncles, please!"

The servants of the Zhang and Su families made a gesture to invite them in. Liu Heyi stood in the distance and looked at them expectantly.

"Third brother, come on!"

At Guan Yu's command, the two men stepped into the stable, each holding a horse.

Guan Yu caught the maroon horse, while Cheng Liang caught the light yellow one.

How could these two horses give up? They moved left and right, neighing non-stop, but they were still young after all. If they were adults, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang might not be able to do anything to them, but now they were no match for these two great generals.

Soon, the two men climbed onto the horses' backs. The two horses were not to be outdone and rushed out of the stable, jumping around in the backyard, trying to throw the two men off their backs.

But Guan Yu and Cheng Liang were both very strong, and they had practiced horse riding for many years, so how could they fall down so easily?
The two men and two horses "fought" for more than two quarters of an hour in the back garden of the county government, and neither side showed signs of fatigue.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are indeed divine horses! Ordinary war horses would have no strength left after such a torment, but these two young horses are still so full of energy, which shows how fierce they are!”

An old man from the Zhang family stroked his beard and said with admiration.

"Haha, Brother Shibian, why do you only see the bravery of these two horses? In my opinion, the two sons-in-law are even more powerful. Even if Fan Kuai were reborn, he might not be able to match them!" said another old man.

When the old man from the Zhang family heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad. The master of the family has always had a very accurate vision. These two sons-in-law are indeed outstanding people, and County Magistrate Liu is an unparalleled hero in the world!"

After hearing their praise, Liu He made a few polite remarks and then turned his attention back to his two brothers.

No matter how the two divine horses, one red and one yellow, jumped and ran, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang clamped their legs tightly around the horses' bellies, grabbed the mane on their necks, and gritted their teeth and refused to let go.

After struggling for a while, the two horses finally slowed down, obviously running out of energy. Liu He's eyes lit up, knowing that this was the critical moment to tame these two divine horses!

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang also noticed this, and they exerted the last bit of their strength and clamped their legs together hard!
"Gee!" With a loud shout, the two horses were really in pain from being squeezed. In addition, their physical strength was depleted by 70% to 80%, and they were finally too exhausted to struggle any longer.

The two men patted the horses' bodies and squeezed their bellies. The two horses neighed in a low voice and rushed towards the door.

After riding their horses for a short circle on the street, the two men returned to the back garden. They reined in the horses with both hands, and with a loud neigh, the two horses stood up. After they landed again, the two men dismounted and stroked the horses' bodies with loving eyes. At this time, the two divine horses seemed much more obedient.

"Congratulations, congratulations to the two sons-in-law for successfully taming these divine horses! It will take about half a year for these two horses to reach adulthood, and by then their strength will be even stronger!" The followers and servants of the two families all came forward to congratulate them.

"My two brothers, with the help of this divine horse, it is like adding wings to a tiger. Who in the world can be our rival? Haha!"

Liu He was also extremely happy. It was no different for Guan Yu and Cheng Liang to have obtained such a divine horse than for him.

The two were also very excited. While returning the gifts to everyone, they continued to caress their beloved horses lovingly.

"County Magistrate Liu." The old man from the Zhang family who had just spoken said with a bow, "This is my disciple. He has been learning the art of horse selection from me since he was young. Now he has surpassed me. According to the instructions of the family master, we will leave him in Langtiao County to look after the war horses for County Magistrate Liu."

After he finished speaking, a man in his twenties came out from behind him and bowed to Liu He, saying, "My surname is Mo, my given name is Da, and my courtesy name is Wende. Nice to meet you, County Magistrate Liu! From now on, I will take care of all your war horses so that they are fat and strong and in good spirits!"

Liu He took a look at Moda and saw that his eyes were bright and his hands were covered with calluses. He seemed to be quite capable.

"System boss, let's check the properties of this Moda."

"System query, please wait... Ding! Moda's attributes: Command 37, Force 52, Intelligence 74, Politics 36, Special attributes: None, Special skills: None."

Liu He nodded secretly. Moda's attributes were still good. However, since the other party said that he was proficient in the knowledge of horse appraisal and horse breeding, he would naturally not send him to other tasks. That would be a waste of talent.

"Well, this job is a big responsibility. I am planning to establish the position of Ma Cheng in the army. If you perform well, I can consider giving you this position!"

Mo Da was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I will work hard and live up to the county magistrate's high expectations!"

When they heard that he had a chance to become an official, the other people from the Zhang and Su families immediately showed some envy. Even the "master" who had recommended him just now had a frown on his face.

But it was useless to be tempted. He knew that he was too old to do the job of raising horses with the army. If his apprentice could become the Horse Prime Minister, he would remember his master's kindness in the future. This was already the best choice.

At this time, Guan Yu turned around and looked at Liu He and said, "Brother, please give names to these two mounts!"

Military generals love horses, and horses are also spiritual, so many generals like to give their war horses nice names and call them every day, so as to form a better tacit understanding over time.

Liu He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at the two divine horses.

"This chestnut horse was like a puff of red smoke when it was running just now, and the white hair on its four hooves turned into a white shadow. Let's call it Red Smoke and Shadow. As for this light yellow horse, its neighing resounded through the clouds, and its demeanor was as majestic as a divine beast. How about just calling it Kirin Roar?"

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang repeated the two names several times, and then clapped and cheered.

"Good, good name! Big brother is much more educated than me, Old Cheng, haha!"

Liu He turned to Mo Da and said, "You will follow my second brother Yun Chang and my disciple Ye Xiang to Huangshui Township later. When the time comes, you can place Chi Yan Jue Ying and Qilin Hou in the stable next to my mount Black King. Then you can look after these three mounts together with Zhao Xingming, who is in charge of training Black King. Oh, and Brother Wen De should come with you as well."

Moda was not very clear about the Black King's situation, but Guan Yu and Cheng Liang did. Therefore, after hearing Liu He's instructions, they were very confused.

"Brother, the Black King is the king of beasts. He is so brave that I'm afraid the five of us brothers don't dare to confront him head-on. If we put these two horses aside, wouldn't that be..." Guan Yu said worriedly.

After hearing his words, Moda and several others' expressions changed slightly.

What else could be called the king of beasts? Even Moda himself began to tremble at the thought of being with such a ferocious beast.

Liu He smiled and said, "Haha, you know the Black King is very intelligent, how could he hurt his own cavalry? Besides, we brothers will inevitably fight side by side in the future. If your mounts are afraid of the Black King and can't move when they see him, how can we fight together? If our own cavalry is scared by the Black King and falls down, then won't we be defeated without fighting?"

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang thought it made sense and stopped talking. Moda couldn't disobey either.

As for the others, they secretly admired Liu He in their hearts. He could even tame such a strange beast and make it his mount. It seemed that their patriarch had made the right bet this time!
Several people decided to describe the bravery of Guan Yu, Cheng Liang and County Magistrate Liu to the head of the family in detail after returning.

Liu He and his brothers were very happy to get these two horses, and they worked harder in martial arts training, especially Guan Yu and Cheng Liang, whose excitement lasted for several days.
