Why did horses change human history?
In thousands of years of swords and swords, countless horses and people have jointly created history. When Genghis Khan's fighters swept across Europe and Asia, people realized more deeply that no animal had such a profound impact on human history as horses. Moreover, the success of cavalry continued into the era of hot weapons.

Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, even went to war to get a horse from the West. He sent General Li Guangli on an expedition to Dayuan, and only a dozen "bloody BMWs" were rewarded. The horse's fur is red, and the sweat seems to be bleeding in the sun. It travels thousands of miles every day and is called "Tianma" because of its preciousness.

Some famous horses even go down in history with famous soldiers, which is not uncommon in the era of cold weapons. Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, refused to cross the Wujiang River (now northeast of Hexian County, Anhui Province) when he was defeated. Before committing suicide, he entrusted Emma Zhui to the director of the pavilion and a hero. When he died, he arranged a way out for Emma, who accompanied him, to attack the city and pull out the village. This horse is famous for it. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a saying that "between people, Lu Bu was a red rabbit in a horse", and Lu Bu's name of "flying general" really depended on the speed of the red rabbit. After Red Rabbit returned to Guan Yu, he helped Guan Yu to make meritorious military service. Zhang Fei's mount is also very good. "Zhang Fei among people, Ma Zhongyu chasing." Liu Bei's "Delu" leaped over Tanxi at the critical moment, making the pursuers dumbfounded.
