Chapter 285 Horseshoe

"Knock knock. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" two light knocking sounds came, and the atmosphere of peace and joy in the carriage was broken, and it was a stagnation when boarding.

Ziyan winked, Yunyan and Xiaonuo both smiled, Yunyan suppressed his throat before asking, "General, what's the matter?" ”

Yes, no need to ask anyone. There has always been only Xiang Yu who has the courage to knock on the carriage of purple smoke, not even Xiang Zhuang.

"It's nothing." Xiang Yu's voice was still serious, with a calm and domineering atmosphere. But Ziyan listened, and it was actually a little awkward, as if she was twisting and squirming and making indecisive.

Xiang Yu, who listens to the wind and rain, is actually indecisive? Stop it. Purple Smoke snapped the thought back into her mind.

"I just heard that you are not feeling well, and I want to ask." Ziyan can hear this, and he doesn't need to spread it through the clouds, so he can just say it to Ziyan.

Oh. It turned out that he was really twisting, really hesitating and hesitating. The moment she heard Xiang Yu's voice, Ziyan's first thought in her heart was actually this, which startled herself.

But no matter what she was thinking, it was always not what she wanted to let Xiang Yu hear.

"It's not a big deal, the general doesn't have to worry." Ziyan said perfunctorily.

There was silence outside the carriage for a moment, and then I heard him sigh lowly: "It's okay, you...... Take care of it. ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a cry from ahead, followed by a noise, but it was quickly suppressed, and it seemed to be commonplace.

Such a common episode on the march made Xiang Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said as if he was running for his life: "I'll go and see." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Ziyan to answer, and ran for his life.

Although Xiang Yu is gone, but with him so bad, the atmosphere in the carriage is not as good as before, but it is still a little embarrassing.

Xiao Nuo hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down and stood up: "Goddess, I'll go and inquire about what's going on." ”

Ziyan was also in a trance, nodding his head indispensably. Xiao Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and went by himself.

After a while, Arnold turned back.

How can it be so fast? The first thought of Ziyan, who was still in a trance, was actually this.

In fact, it's not fast, where can the people around you be carried by Ziyan not have a skill? Let Xiaonuo inquire about the news, it was originally a knife to kill chickens, who else can be faster than her? What's more, it's not a big deal in the first place.

"It's the horse pulling the cart that broke its hooves and threw off a cart of military supplies, where are the people repairing it?" Without waiting for Ziyan to speak, Xiao Nuo said to himself very obediently.

Oh, I see. Ziyan thought, but the atmosphere in the carriage was dull, she was the master, if she didn't speak, it was estimated that Yunyan and Xiaonuo would continue to be silent. Therefore, Ziyan asked casually, "Is this kind of thing common?" ”

When you ask for information, you naturally have to inquire clearly. Xiao Nuo is the best at looking at people's eyes and seeing the dull atmosphere, and he also has the heart to say a few more words: "Yes, it is very common that military horses are worn out, in addition to battlefield deaths, the most common is that such hooves are broken and rotten, and such horses are wasted." I heard from the veterans who came to see the horses that sometimes the horses' hooves would rot when they ran thousands of miles. ”

Is that so? Ziyan originally just wanted to change the topic, but listen, why is something wrong? She remembered that horses didn't seem to wear out so easily, did they? She doesn't know anything else, but she knows that whether it is recorded in historical books, novels or TV series, the line that often appears is that the horses are tired to death, and most of the loss of military horses seems to be due to this problem, but I rarely hear that the horses are lost because the horses' hooves are rotten. Come to think of it, if the horse's hooves are rotten, the horse should not be worried about his life, right? After all, even if a person walks, he will first rot his feet and then die of exhaustion.

So when he got out of the car, Ziyan deliberately paid attention to the horses' hooves.

It seems that there is more or less wear and tear, much more serious than she remembers.

Why, does the horse's hooves wear out so quickly?

Therefore, when she was dealing with official business in the evening, she focused on the reasons for the consumption of horses in the military report. Nine out of ten rough men in the army are illiterate, even if they know two big characters, they only know their own names, and it is good to be able to report a few accurate numbers, do you expect them to explain the reasons and reasons clearly like later generations write documents? Ziyan has never brought soldiers, and these military affairs are also slowly groping, Xiang Yu is a good one, and there is nothing unusual about seeing the military resources reported to him, so he knows that this is all within the normal range.

It looked like everything was normal, but Ziyan still had doubts in her heart, so when Xiang Yu came to discuss things, she also asked casually.

"How fast is the horse's hoof? Of course, the horses' hooves will rot after a thousand miles of rapid marching, even if we march slowly like this and walk to the border pass, these horses will be almost lost, and it is better on the grassland, and our Central Plains is mountainous, and it is really not suitable for horses to gallop. "It was Xiang Yu's little tail that had not changed for thousands of years, Xiang Zhuang. Poured beans like hurriedly said a bunch of things.

Is that so? How does Ziyan remember, isn't it like this? Ziyan was puzzled, so when he got into the car the next day, he subconsciously glanced at the horse's hooves.

It was this glance that really showed her the problem.

How is this horse's hooves different from her impression? Ziyan didn't care about the strange look, pushed away the hand that Yunyan was holding, squatted down and broke the hooves of the horse pulling the cart.

Is that so? Is that so? She remembered so, what else was there? Ziyan thought about it, and there was really one thing missing.

When I was in elementary school, I watched a Disney animation called "Mustang King" in order to learn English. It tells the story of a small wild horse that falls into human hands and finally leads other wild horses to regain their freedom. There is a scene where Purple Smoke is very impressive, that is, when the Wild Horse King rushed out of the horse training field with the other horses, in addition to the mortgage bridle, he once threw out another thing under his hooves.

Horseshoe, also horseshoe. Protect the horse's hooves with a pig iron nail or on the horse's hooves.

Although there are very few horses in modern times, another reason why horses are not as good as in cities is that the cement roads in cities are too hard, and horses will break bones if they walk too much. So why is it because of a broken bone? Aren't the hooves that should have been kicked directly to the ground the first to suffer?

Because the hooves are protected by horseshoes.

Horseshoe, she knows.

"Sister, what's wrong with you, sister?" Yunyan was startled, and he pounced on him and was about to start howling.

"I'm fine." Ziyan smiled, "Just thinking of something, something happy." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Yunyan seems to understand whether he understands or not.
