Chapter 368

Qiangqu at the foot of the mound bowed to the direction where Chen Qing'an, Zhang Liao, and Lu Bu were.

Then he said loudly in stiff Chinese: "I, Qiangqu, Xiongnu Chanyu!"

"I am very happy to welcome friends from afar; may I ask if you are the envoys of the Han Dynasty?"

Listening to Qiangqu's words, Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao looked at each other and nodded.

"Haha, friends from afar, welcome to the grassland."

"I have prepared freshly slaughtered cattle and sheep, as well as enthusiastic singing and dancing and mare's milk wine, just waiting for the arrival of the envoys."

"Please follow me to the camp first." Qiangqu invited.

Chen Qing'an looked at Zhang Liao and said: "The General's main force is still behind, it is estimated that it will take a while to arrive."

"Why don't we go over first to find out the reality of the Xiongnu, so that we can be prepared after the General arrives."

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go see first."

Saying that, the two spurred their horses and shook the reins in their hands.

Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao moved, and Lu Bu naturally wouldn't stay in place.

So they walked toward Qiangqu's direction together.

Soon, more than three hundred cavalry arrived at the foot of the mound, just a few meters away from Qiangqu.

Lu Bu's dozen or so riders were not in the three hundred vanguard cavalry of Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao.

So more than ten people stood out and walked in front, as if they were really leading generals.

Coupled with Lu Bu's figure and appearance, as well as that eye-catching hundred-flower battle cloak, he was also very eye-catching in the crowd.

Qiangqu spurred his horse forward enthusiastically.

Several thousand-man commanders behind him also hurriedly followed up with vigilance.

"Friends from afar, you have worked hard."

Qiangqu first glanced at Zhang Liao and Chen Qing'an, and then turned his gaze directly to Lu Bu.

"This General, let me introduce myself, I am the Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu."

"I am very happy for your arrival."

Lu Bu looked at Qiangqu who was greeting him with a dumbfounded expression.

It wasn't until Qiangqu finished speaking that he reacted and nodded mechanically to Qiangqu.

And Qiangqu, after glancing at Lu Bu and the warhorse under Lu Bu, smiled and clapped his hands.

As Qiangqu clapped his hands.

A hundred-man commander behind him led a pure white warhorse over.

The pure white warhorse had a shoulder height of eight feet, and its whole body was white without a single mixed hair.

Under the sun, it even reflected a kind of glistening white light.

As the warhorse opened its four hooves and walked, a layer of white flowing light flickered back and forth on its body.

As the saying goes: those below eight feet are considered horses, and those above eight feet are dragons.

Warhorses with a shoulder height of over eight feet are collectively called dragon horses.

It is easy to get a thousand gold, but hard to find a dragon horse.

Warhorses with a shoulder height of over eight feet are rare even in the Xiongnu, which produces good horses.

But if a small tribe captures a warhorse with a shoulder height of over eight feet in the wilderness, as long as they hand it over, they will inevitably receive a lot of rewards.

But if they don't hand it over, if they are discovered, it will inevitably lead to a murderous disaster.

Seeing the white horse walking toward him, Lu Bu's eyes couldn't move away.

The ancient saying goes: good generals assist wise masters, and treasure horses match heroes.

How can a hero not have a good horse under his crotch?

If there is no good horse, how can he be called a hero.

The warhorse under Lu Bu's crotch, if counted in the Central Plains, could be considered a good horse.

But Lu Bu was just a small county Thief-Catching Official, and his family assets were limited; if he wanted to match a truly good horse, it would cost hundreds of thousands or millions of coins.

Lu Bu didn't have that much money.

So the warhorse under his crotch now was just ordinary.

It was precisely because of this that when Lu Bu saw Qiangqu for the first time, he took a fancy to the warhorse under Qiangqu.

And when this white horse appeared, Lu Bu's eyes were attracted again.

"General."

"You are the original guest."

"This warhorse is named Yulong."

"It was captured by people from my tribe from the side of the distant Heyunxi Sea."

"It is a dragon horse that only appears among ten thousand horses!" Qiangqu said proudly.

It seemed that he heard Qiangqu's praise.

The warhorse named Yulong raised its two hooves high and let out a long neigh.

The long, snow-white mane on its neck flew everywhere after Yulong stood up, which was extremely elegant.

It looked like a cloud of white flowing clouds floating in the sky.

The bowl-sized horse hooves were heavy and powerful.

Looking at the spine, one could see that it was a good horse that had not been saddled.

"This horse can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred at night, and mountains, rivers, and lakes are like walking on flat ground."

"The generals in the tribe asked for it many times, but I didn't give it to them."

Qiangqu gently stroked Yulong's mane to calm it down.

After speaking, Qiangqu looked at Lu Bu and made a gesture of giving with both hands: "Seeing the General today, this horse will be a gift, as a gift for the first meeting between me and the General."

"Please accept it, General."

Lu Bu's expression at this time seemed to be frozen.
