Guan Yan ordered the establishment of Long ** the next day, which was led by Captain Long Xiang and Captain Huyi, and Ma Chao and Pang De were divided into two positions. It also corresponds to the name of this "dragon **".

Ten days later, the 36 craftsmen of the craftsman workshop all moved to Yecheng and began to build stirrups on a large scale.

One day, two soldiers led a horse from the school grounds, and the horse limped and seemed to have something wrong.

Guan Yan stopped and asked, "What is the disease of this horse?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied: "If it weren't for the illness, the horse's hooves have worn out and won't be able to go to the battlefield!" ”

Is there such a saying? Guan Yan stepped forward and lifted the horse's hind legs, only to see that the gray-black cuticle outside the horse's hooves had worn out most of it, faintly revealing the white ** keratin.

The horse's hooves are composed of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard keratin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is **. When the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water.

Guan Yan only knew that there should be a "U" shaped iron palm on the horse's hooves, but he really didn't know how to get this iron palm on the horse's hooves.

Guan Yan patted the dust on his hands, and with the matter of the stirrups last time, Guan Yan was not so fussed: "Do you know what a horseshoe is?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they did not know.

And so it was! Guan Yan sighed in his heart, it seems that the horseshoe, like the stirrups, has not yet been invented in this era.

Guan Yan immediately changed the side of the road and hurriedly chased after him: "Let's go, go to the craftsman's workshop!" ”

When Guan Yan came to the craftsman's workshop, he still only left a sketch of a horseshoe, after all, Guan Yan only knew the general shape, and it was up to these craftsmen to study it.

The horseshoe was simple, and within a few days, the craftsmen had created a prototype of the horseshoe. Although it is still very rough, it is better than nothing, and it still has a certain effect on the protection of horses' hooves.

The equipment is almost drummed, as for the training of the army, it is not something that can be completed in a while, but fortunately, Jizhou is famous for the harassment of the Black Mountain Army and Wang Fenyu, and secretly it is actually very peaceful.

Guan Yan was busy training his dragon **, and the rest of the states were almost no major events, and there were signs of peace in the Han world, which meant the name "Zhongping".

But under this calm and calm sky, there are turbulent waves inside, especially in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is even more tense and imminent!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, in the sixth year of Zhongping, in March 189 AD, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty suddenly became seriously ill, and when he was dying, he entrusted the heir in his mind, the prince to his special trust eunuch, the captain of the military academy.

In May, Emperor Ling of Han ended his absurd life and died in the Anfu Hall of the Han Palace.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had two sons, one was Liu Bian, the other was Liu Xie, and Liu Bian's mother was the palace maid He from Wan County, Nanyang County, so Liu Bian was a concubine. After the birth of the prince, He's mother was named a nobleman, and the Empress Song was promoted to queen two years after she was deposed.

Before Liu Bi was born, Emperor Ling's sons had all died, so Huang Zibi was not raised in the palace after he was born, but in the home of the Taoist Shi Ziyi, and he didn't dare to call his Liu Bi by his real name, calling him "Shi Hou". Because Shi Daoren has Taoist skills, He wants to protect the prince with his Taoist skills.

Emperor Ling didn't like Liu Wei, but liked the prince association born to Wang Meiren. When the ministers asked Emperor Ling to establish the crown prince, Emperor Ling thought that Liu Wei acted frivolously, did not have the prestige of the emperor, and was not suitable to be the emperor, and wanted to make the prince the prince, but because Empress He was favored in the palace, and Empress He's brother He Jin was a general and held a high position in the court, so the matter of establishing the prince was delayed for a long time.

Although Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren died, the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Han Ling, has always supported Liu Xie, and Emperor Han Ling's heart is also towards Liu Xie, so the two forces are also deadlocked.

Now, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has died, and Jian Shuo thinks about the long-term plan and wants to kill He Jin first and then set up the Emperor Zixie as the emperor, so he sent someone to invite He into the harem.

But as soon as He Jin entered the harem from the outer court, Sima Pan Yin, who was very good, walked straight to He Jin, and hinted at He Jin with his eyes, it turned out that this Pan Yin was He Jin's old acquaintance, and he couldn't bear He Jin being killed, so he showed it with his eyes. He Jin was shocked, withdrew first, returned to the barracks from the sidewalk, and then lied that he was sick and could not enter the palace, and Jian Shuo's plan failed.

After returning, He Jin then ordered 5,000 people from Yuling's army, and introduced more than 30 ministers such as He Yan, Xun You, and Zheng Tai to enter one after another, and set up Liu Wei to succeed him in front of Emperor Ling's coffin.

After the hundred officials worshiped the new emperor, He Jin had to settle accounts with Jian Shuo.

He Jin said fiercely to Yuan Shao beside him: "At the beginning, quickly bring fifty wrestlers and hunt and kill Jian Shuo!" ”

He Jin answered, and hurriedly took fifty people to collect Jian Shuo.

When He Jin captured Jian Shuo, Jian Shuo was also running away in a panic, he knew that He Jin would come to hunt and kill him, and now he could only fight with He Jin by returning to the West Garden as soon as possible, with the help of the troops of the first colonel of the army.

However, He Jin's 5,000-feather army had already surrounded the palace, and Jian Shuo was cautiously groping, looking for the omissions in the encirclement, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The Imperial Garden is a large place, and with clumps of trees as cover, this place is perfect for hiding or escaping.

Jian Shuo bowed his waist and walked forward slowly, and suddenly a team of feather feathers ran by, and Jian Shuo hurriedly bent down and hid under the shade of flowers.

Watching Yu Lingjun run away quickly, Jian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father-in-law?"

A soft call behind him really startled Jian Shuo like a boulder hammer.

Jian Shuo stared, turned around sharply, and saw a person looking at him with a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be Guo Gong, scared our family to death!"

Jian Shuo wiped the beads of sweat from his head and sat down on the ground with a slight collapse.

This person is officially one of the ten permanent servants Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng took two steps forward, squatted next to Jian Shuo and said, "Why is Jian Gong so panicked? ”

Jian Shuo sighed: "He Sui Gao Jiao set up Liu Wei as the emperor, and now he has sent people to hunt and kill our family, he is really a national thief!" ”

Jian Shuo slammed his fist on the ground, and suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Sheng expectantly and said, "Guo Gong, you and I have served Your Majesty together for many years, and we should be loyal to the Lord." But His Majesty's bones are not cold, so He Jin will be overbearing! Guo Gong, can you please let the public escort me out of the palace? If our family is out of the palace, we can lead the first colonel of the army to come to suppress He Jin's anti-thieves! When the time comes, all the princes will be heroes! ”

Jian Shuo's words were spitting, but Guo Sheng always had a harmless smile on his face, and muttered: "Yes, yes, what Jian Gong said is very true!" ”

Suddenly, Guo Sheng's face changed, and he pointed behind Jian Shuo and said in a panic: "Jian Gong be careful, He Butcher is here!" ”

"Ahh He butcher He is in ......" Jian Shuo said half a sentence and then looked back at Guo Sheng with a painful face, his right hand trembled and pointed at Guo Sheng and said, "Guo Sheng, you... You ......"

Guo Sheng sneered, and forcefully pulled out the blood-stained dagger from Jian Shuo's waist: "Jian Gong, you go down below and continue to serve the first emperor, our family will not accompany you!" ”

Jian Shuo struggled twice, and then collapsed in a pool of blood under the shade of the flower, no longer moving.
