Ask for an excerpt from the Chinese translation of The Biography of Song Shi Yue Fei .

Yue Fei defeated Cao Cheng and pacified Yang Qi. Song Gaozong summoned Yue Fei in the seventh year of Shaoxing. ）

Song Gaozong calmly asked, "Did you get a good horse?" Yue Fei replied

I would have had two good horses. They have to eat several buckets of clean beans every day and drink clear spring water. If they don't have clean food or drink, they'd rather starve than bear it.

Put on the saddle armor and ride it to start, at first it is not very fast, and only after running a hundred miles will it gallop forward. From noon to dusk, you can run an extra 200 miles. When the saddle armor is removed, it neither pants nor sweats, and appears as if nothing happened.

This is because they are large but not greedy for casual food, and energetic but not brave in the moment. They're good horses for long distances! Unfortunately, however, they have died in successive battles.

At the moment I'm riding a lot worse. It eats only a few litres of food a day, is never picky about what it eats, and is not selective about the water it drinks. Before the saddle is set, the hoof must be raised.

As soon as he had finished a hundred miles, his strength was exhausted, and he was soaked with sweat, as if he was going to die. This is because it is small, so it eats little food but is easy to saturate, and likes to be strong but strong on the outside and dry in the middle. It's just a mediocre and inferior horse!

After listening to Yue Fei's remarks, Song Gaozong said: "It makes sense! ”

When he was seven years old, Yue Fei met the emperor, and the emperor asked Yue Fei, "Has Aiqing ever obtained a good horse?" Yue Fei said

I had two good horses. A horse could eat several buckets of forage a day and drink a bucket of water from the spring, but if the forage was not refined and the spring water was not clean, then they would not accept it. Putting on their armor and letting them gallop, they didn't run fast at first, and only after running for a hundred miles did they raise their spirits and run away.

From noon to unitary hour (equivalent to 11 p.m. to 7 p.m. today), you can also run 200 miles. When the saddle and armor were removed, they were neither panting nor sweating, as if nothing had happened. Such a horse, it eats a lot, but does not eat indiscriminately; Great strength, but not indiscriminate.

These are good horses that travel thousands of miles every day, but unfortunately they die one after another. The horse I now ride does not eat more than a few litres of forage a day, and it does not choose good food for feeding, nor does it choose clean spring water for drinking. Before the reins were straightened, he jumped up and ran rapidly, but after a hundred miles he ran out of strength, sweated profusely, panted, and looked like he was about to die.

Such a horse, which does not eat much and is easily satisfied, likes to show off its strength, but it can't run a few times and gets tired, this is an imbecile and stupid bad horse! After hearing this, Song Gaozong praised Yue Fei for saying well.
