Chapter 45: Suspicious Sickness
Desperate to know if Chu Feng's idea was feasible, Cao Cao stayed directly in the stable.
Instructed the groom to find a war horse that was about to trim the horse's shoe, that is, a war horse with a thicker horse's shoe, and then asked the general to make a horseshoe according to the horse's horse.
Under Chu Feng's guidance, the person who would be the prisoner finally knew what kind of iron tool he should make.
With a plan in mind, this can be done very quickly.
In order to verify whether Chu Feng's idea is correct, he didn't make the horseshoe very good, but it couldn't be too bad.
After an hour had passed, the general came to the stable with his horse's shoes and nails, and prepared to put his horses on his shoes.
Fortunately, this war horse is relatively docile, and he doesn't care much about someone nailing iron pieces to its hooves, but feels more comfortable.
After all the limbs were nailed to the horseshoe, the war horse began to feel a little uncomfortable, and walked restlessly in place.
As a result, in less than a while, I felt very comfortable, and I actually came directly to a posture of hissing towards the sky.
Anyone who knows horses knows that this is happy, because after a step, some of the neighing war horses can't wait to run in the pasture and feel their new shoes.
And Cao Cao, who watched it for a while, is now a little impatient, and walked forward directly, turned over and got on the horse, that action is simply smooth, high-spirited, head high, in short, handsome!
"Drive!"
The war horse with shoes actually ran and flew, and the speed was beyond people's reach.
The horses in the stable were also affected by the war horse, and they walked restlessly in the stable, and there was an urge to break free from the reins and rush out to gallop through the pasture.
After a lap, Cao Cao stopped.
Strode in front of Chu Feng and looked at Chu Feng seriously.
This look, this momentum, even Chu Feng, who came from later generations, has some little fear, I don't know what Cao Cao is crazy about.
thought that Cao Cao would make some earth-shattering move, but in the end he found that he was thinking nonsense.
However, Cao Cao's next move can indeed be regarded as a shocking move, and for ordinary people, it can definitely be shocked.
Cao Cao looked at Chu Feng sincerely, then clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to Chu Feng.
"Cao is here to thank Xiao Langjun for his talent, he can even think of putting shoes on the war horse, Cao has been trapped in the war horse's hooves are seriously worn, and the horse is now unable to run, and his heart aches.
But I never thought that people could wear shoes, why can't war horses, this kind of whimsy, only a big man like Xiao Langjun can come up with it, and he has to admire. ”
Chu Feng could only give Cao Cao a deep return to etiquette before saying: "I, I don't know how to come up with it, maybe I have a different entry point, or I know that horseshoes are similar to human fingernails."
The lord is serious, I am now a small steward under the lord's account, this food of the king, bear the worries of the king, are all what I should do. ”
Cao Cao patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said with relief: "Yes, you have done a very good job, in the future, you must cherish your wonderful ideas."
I don't know how your head grows, how can you think of such a trick, we wear shoes every day, and we know that we won't grind our feet when we wear shoes, but why can't we think of being able to put shoes on war horses?
If we had thought earlier, there would not have been so many war horses whose hooves were worn out, and they could not go to the battlefield, and the losses were very large.
Your whimsical idea directly reduced the consumption of war horses in Dongjun by more than half, and put iron shoes on the war horses, and their power was also increased by half, greatly improving our strength. ”
Cao Cao is becoming more and more optimistic about Chu Feng, at a young age, his intelligence is very outstanding, and even some of the strategists around him can't compare, if he adjusts and teaches him well, he will not be able to become the biggest help in the future.
"Come on, immediately let the general make a pair of iron weapons for the war horses here according to the size of the horseshoe, well, it will be called 'horseshoe' in the future."
Chu Feng felt that Cao Cao was a little hasty in doing this, after all, this thing was an artifact, if it was also obtained by other princes, wouldn't it also make the strength of those people increase.
However, thinking about it again, who Cao Cao is, he naturally knows the importance of this horseshoe, so the person who will be the prisoner should be able to be trusted, and also have a secret job, otherwise he would not be able to order it like this.
This idea has been spoken, and the credit is also given, as for how Cao Cao will do it, it should be his business.
As a newcomer, as a teenager, you should say less and do less, do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't do.
From the time I arrived in Dongjun to the present, I have done three major things, the first thing is to help those displaced people build houses, the second thing is to come up with the idea of building an iron stove, and the third thing is this horseshoe.
As for writing down the ancient books he saw from Chang'an, Cao Cao still doesn't know, Cai Yong can't say it, and Chu Feng himself can't say it.
The superior memory is really a relatively anti-heaven ability, and now Chu Feng has done a lot, but he can't continue to be high-profile.
The cold winter is very ten, and there are very few battles, and the soldiers don't want to fight in such an environment, and the same goes for those generals.
Therefore, without absolute preparation and thought, there is generally no war, everyone has a tacit understanding to wait for the coming of spring, and they all have a tacit understanding to want to survive the cold winter and recuperate.
The Yellow Turban Army has been wiped out by Cao Cao, but there are still large armies operating in Chongzhou and Dongjun.
These Yellow Turbans are no longer on the stage, but they are also sick wolves with the ability to bite.
When the Yellow Turban Army narrowed its scope and prepared to survive the cold winter, bypassing Cao Cao's Dongjun to attack Chongzhou.
Cao Cao's army was actively putting shoes on the horses, and in order to prevent the other princes from making a small work, they learned about this method.
Cao Cao didn't go out of his way to put shoes on the war horse, the only people who knew about this matter were the few main generals that Cao Cao trusted, and they all quietly put shoes on the war horse, and the ordinary soldiers didn't know.
Those cavalrymen didn't know, but when they were riding war horses, they always felt different from usual, and they couldn't imagine for a while that someone put iron shoes on the war horses.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter will definitely be known to the other princes in the end.
However, Cao Cao is very weak now, and he needs to strengthen his strength, even if the other princes have learned to put shoes on war horses, he has to do it.
Because, in the next war, he can at least suppress others, and his cavalry will be stronger than others.
And his own war horse can also enjoy such a good treatment earlier, and he can preserve his strength.
"What a good thing!"
Seeing that his beloved war horse could stand up again and run on the grassland, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, he also thought about the question of whether Chu Feng was the descendant of the public loser.
