Chapter Forty-Eight: The Three Treasures of the Horse

The border plug is constantly stormy, and the Central Plains is not idle. After Dong Zhuo recuperated in Chang'an for a period of time, he began to die again.

When the capital was moved, Dong Zhuo looted all the property in Luoyang, and the treasury could not be filled, this is the dead fat man is still not satisfied, and he said to Li Ru on a whim: "Wen You, if you are divided today and do not obey the order, it is really hateful, I intend to abolish the five-baht coin and mint new money." ”

When Li Ru heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, the matter of minting money is very important, and if you are not careful, it may lead to expensive money, which is not good for your lord's plan." ”

Dong Zhuo's face sank, and he said unhappily: "If the son moves the capital to Chang'an today, recasting new money, it is just the right time to reform the old and welcome the new, so that the princes of the world are tired of coping, why not." ”

Wang Yunxiao, who was accompanying him on the side, rolled his eyes, got up and arched his hand: "What Dong Xiangguo said is not unreasonable, once the five-baht coin is abolished, the money in the hands of all kinds of thieves can be turned into dung, worthless, and greatly reduce their strength, but we can collect food from everywhere with new money and low prices, which is really a double win." ”

"Haha......"

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, what Wang Yun said was exactly what he thought, power and money must be firmly controlled in his own hands, so that he can sit back and relax.

"It's still the master who knows what I want."

Looking at Dong Zhuo's smug look, Wang Yun complimented again: "Dong Xiangguo is eloquent and strategic, and Yun Wan can't reach it!" ”

"Good, good!"

Dong Zhuo turned back to Li Ru and said, "Wenyou, I see that you have been busy with affairs recently, and the matter of minting new money will be handled by the sub-master." ”

Li Ru's heart was clustered, and he was disappointed, so he could only nod helplessly, after this incident, the differences between Li Ru and Dong Zhuo became bigger and bigger, and they were gradually alienated.

Wang Yun further strengthened the relationship with Dong Zhuo, often became a guest at the table, discussed major matters together, and was regarded as a confidant by Dong Zhuo.

……

Dingxiang County, Shanwu County.

In the blacksmith shop in the west of the city, the fire inside is booming, and a big man is sweating and beating a U-shaped piece of iron, which is finally formed after nearly 100 beatings.

"My lord, what you want is ready!"

The blacksmith sent the U-shaped iron ring to Zhao Feng and asked with a puzzled expression, "My lord, what is this thing for?" ”

Zhao Feng looked at the palm-sized U-shaped iron ring in his hand, and was extremely happy, this guy was even the sharp weapon that led the cavalry - the horseshoe.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three treasures of the horse have not been substantially applied to the cavalry, and although unilateral horse shoes and saddles have appeared, they are only used as some decorations.

In contrast, the emergence of the horseshoe will greatly enhance the survivability of the cavalry, the use of the horseshoe not only protects the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves more solid to grasp the ground, which is very beneficial for riding and driving.

"It's called a horseshoe!"

Zhao Feng explained first, and then said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, bring the horse over!" Palm horseshoe. ”

Dian Wei didn't think much about it, took his Xiliang horse over, and with the help of the blacksmith, he firmly nailed the horseshoe under the horse's hooves with iron nails.

After a while, all four horseshoes were in good hands, and the Xiliang horse was still intact, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Dian Wei, try the horse!"

Dian Wei replied in a loud voice: "Obey!" ”

"Tick, tick, tick......"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded suddenly, full of rhythm, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dian Wei Ze horse galloped away, and disappeared without a trace after a while, even if there was a corner, Xiliang horse also walked like flying, steady.

Zhao Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Shotguns are changing for guns, getting better and better, Dian Wei, who is invincible in foot combat, will become invincible in horse combat one day sooner or later." ”

"Drive!"

A shout sounded, and Xiliang Dama returned to everyone's sight, running faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, he galloped back, and was about to crash into the stone pier of the blacksmith shop.

"Phew!"

With Dian Wei's soft shout, the four hooves of the war horse suddenly stopped, and he did not fall forward at all.

"Good horse, what a war horse!"

Dian Wei jumped off the horse and said with a smug smile: "Lord, this horse has grown up today, not only does it run fast, but it is also very stable." ”

Zhao Feng smiled back: "All this is the credit of the horseshoe. ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Feng with a shocked expression, never expecting that a small iron bump would have such a great effect.

"Junshi, the horseshoe matter will be handed over to you, you can fight as much as you want, remember, don't leak it out for the time being."

Lu Xiufu replied solemnly: "My subordinates understand that there will never be chaos, and if such a sharp weapon is known to the Xianbei people, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Feng nodded, in any era, upgrading weapons and equipment is indispensable, if you want not to be beaten, you can only walk in the forefront.

Although the emperor system allows him to summon all kinds of cavalry, and he can also be promoted to a high-level class, but all of this is based on prestige and glory, he doesn't want to be completely dominated by the system, he wants to develop in all aspects, only in this way, can he always be at the peak of undefeated.

……

The cold winter is unstoppable, and the great northwest territory is covered with a thick quilt, and the time is snowy, and the time for hunger and cold has come.

Meiji, Southern Xiongnu single in court.

Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Yufuluo said with a melancholy face: "This year's snow is heavier than ever, and I don't know how many people will be starved to death and frozen to death." ”

Yu Fuluo's younger brother, the right sage king of the Southern Xiongnu, Hu Chuquan said in a deep voice: "Yes! Not only us, but also Crescent, Hu, Qiang, Qiang, and Di, they are the same, I heard that the Qiang people have begun to move, ready to go to Xiliang to plunder food. ”

Yu Fuluo had a bitter face and sighed: "It's a pity that the road is far away, and it is inconvenient for us to go, it's a pity, Hu Chuquan, how much food do we have?" ”

"It's only enough to eat for two months!"

Hu Chuquan responded, and then said: "Shan Yu, we can't wait, the land of Xiliang is indeed too far away, and there are Dong Zhuo's heavy troops in Hanoi, but Dingxiang County is connected to us, and we can go deep into Dingxiang County." ”

"Dingxiang County?"

Yu Fuluo muttered to himself, and then shook his head and said: "No, never, you must know that the Xianbei people have just been defeated, and the Han people are in full swing. ”

"Shan Yu, as far as I know, the Han army in Dingxiang County does not exceed 5,000 people, and it is necessary to divide troops to guard Liangdingguan, so there are no more than 1,000 soldiers left in the counties, and Luo County is the closest to us, and there is no farthest from the governance of Dingxiang County, we can pretend to be Han people to enter the city, take the opportunity to open the city gate, and then wave the troops into the city and rob the food inside."

"This ......"

Yu Fuluo paused for a moment, what Hu Chuquan said was not unreasonable, and then said: "Hu Chuquan, this matter will be handed over to you, remember, you must not be entangled." ”

"Yes!"

Hu Chuquan answered, and walked out, all these years, invading the Han people's city and robbing them of food, for him, has been a habitual thing.
