"Alas, you have followed me for so many years, but you are still no match for the invasion of time, I know that your feet are very painful, and I know that you still want to gallop on this meadow.

But how can I bear to let you give up on yourself, this is fate, God has given you the ability to gallop thousands of miles, but it has also given you imprisonment.

If you can stop your four feet from hurting and withstand the wear and tear of the earth, maybe you can really gallop a thousand miles. ”

Cao Cao said with a sigh as he combed the hair of a black war horse.

Although this war horse is not a famous peerless shadow, it is also a good horse that has followed Cao Cao for many years, and the relationship between the two is very deep.

As if feeling the care from the owner and feeling sorry for it, it gently rubbed Cao Cao with its head.

Cao Cao, who was dressed in cloth, did not dislike it, but hugged the war horse hard.

This war horse was given to Cao Cao by Cao Cao's father, and later followed Cao Cao through large and small wars, and it is also a war horse with some spirituality, which is very popular with Cao Cao.

It's a pity that the war horse is also a little old now, and the key is that the four hooves of the war horse are worn out too much.

There is nothing to do on the grass in the stable, but once it reaches the mountains and gravel fields, it will make it feel the pain of piercing the heart, and standing is a problem.

However, even so, Cao Cao did not abandon it, and would take it with him wherever he went, giving it the best nourishment and the best treatment.

Sometimes when something doesn't go well or something happy, I will come to the stable and tell this old friend.

It seems that only in this way can you make yourself happy or find the feeling of a confidant, the reason why it is a confidant, is also because the war horse can't speak, but it can feel how the owner feels.

If Cao Cao doesn't go his way, it will be stable, Cao Cao will be happy, and it will chirp happily.

If the war horse could speak, he would definitely not become the object of Cao Cao's confidant, nor would he become half a confidant.

"This, the wear and tear of the war horse is too great, it simply accounts for two-thirds of the war loss!"

Chu Feng looked at the report and account of the wear and tear of the war horse in his hand, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

War horses were very important in this period, and it was not easy to form a cavalry.

War horses alone cost a lot of money.

Generally, if you want to get a war horse, you have to borrow it from other princes, or buy it from other princes.

And the price of a war horse is not ordinarily expensive, but it can't be bought without it, because the lethality of cavalry on the battlefield is a very powerful class of troops in the current cold weapon era.

As far as the current situation in Dongjun is concerned, because there are many battles with the Yellow Turban Army, the consumption of war horses is also very large.

This war horse suffered some minor injuries on the battlefield, and it can continue to go on the battlefield if it is raised, and the seriously injured ones are basically eliminated.

Among these eliminated war horses, most of them are because the wear and tear of the horses' hooves is too great, causing the war horses to lose their ability to run.

There is no problem standing up, but once you run, it is very likely to cause people to turn over on their backs, because the horse's hooves are so worn out that strenuous exercise is likely to cause the entire horse's hooves to be wasted.

"I said that I always felt that I had forgotten something, it turned out to be horseshoes and horseshoes, etc., which are indispensable artifacts to be made as a time travel into history, why did I forget it."

After Chu Feng finished reading the accounts, he always felt that he had forgotten something, and suddenly thought that the hooves of the war horse were seriously worn, and the reason for this was because no one had thought of such an artifact as a horseshoe yet.

As long as the horse is nailed to the horseshoe, the war horse does not have to worry about the soles of the feet being worn, which is equivalent to putting shoes on people.

Without saying a word, he got up directly, put on a big sweater and walked out of the room, and found Xun Yu.

"Lord Xun, Feng has a very important matter that he wants to report to the lord, I don't know this, what the situation should be, I, I will go directly to the lord, or ......."

I have been in Dongjun for more than a month, except for the first time I saw Cao Cao, and later in the Iron Furnace Incident, I met Cao Cao, and I only met Cao Cao in a few meetings.

It's just that Chu Feng pursues a low-key principle, rarely takes the initiative to speak, and rarely takes the initiative to propose any strategy.

So I don't know what the process is when I have to report something important to Cao Cao, whether to write a chapter or something first, and hand it over to Cao Cao in writing, or directly find Cao Cao and report it in person.

Xun Yu didn't ask what the important thing Chu Feng said, and replied directly: "If you encounter something and want to report it to the lord, you can directly find the lord, if it is a suggestion and your own ideas, you can write a document and submit it, and the lord will read it." ”

Chu Feng said: "I just looked at the account books about war horses, and found that the biggest consumption of those war horses is the wear and tear of the war horses' hooves, as long as they are war horses with serious wear and tear, they can no longer go to the battlefield."

However, many of the horses were sound and unharmed, but they could no longer go into battle because of the wear and tear of the horses' hooves.

I thought, I should be able to fix this. ”

"Bang."

Xun Yu put down the brush in his hand heavily, and asked Chu Feng, "What did you say?" Do you have a solution to the problem of worn hooves of war horses? ”

Even Xun Yu, who has the style of a gentleman, is rude, you can imagine how serious this problem is.

After getting Chu Feng's reply, Xun Yu got up directly and took Chu Feng to find Cao Cao together.

With Xun Yu's leadership, it was very easy to find Cao Cao.

"Lord, Chu Xiaolangjun just said that he has a way to solve the problem of the worn hooves of the war horse."

Seeing Cao Cao, Xun Yu didn't even come to greet him, he said directly to Cao Cao, and then said to Chu Feng: "Quickly tell your thoughts, how to solve the wear and tear of the hooves of this war horse?" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh that Xun Yu, who was calm and calm on weekdays, and had the style of a gentleman, even had time to be rude, because at this time he himself felt that he was going to be rude.

"The reason why the hooves of war horses are badly worn out is that their hooves are not protected.

I also had such a flash of inspiration, and I thought of how to give a good protection to the horse's hooves so that it would not wear out, and I thought of people's shoes.

So I think we should put shoes on the horses, so that we don't have to worry about the horses' hooves being worn. ”

Cao Cao and Xun Yu were confused, they thought it would be a solution, but when they heard this, they couldn't believe it, how to put shoes on the war horse?

"Lord, Lord Xun, I have seen horseshoes before, and they have the same protective shell under the soles of their feet as us, just like this, it doesn't hurt when we trim this, and it doesn't hurt when we trim horseshoes.

We can wait until the horseshoe is thicker and give them an iron horseshoe.

Its size is the same as that of a horse's shoe, and then the thickness is also adapted, so that it not only puts shoes on the war horse, but also makes the war horse not feel uncomfortable, and also protects their hooves, which should be able to solve the problem of wear and tear of the war horse's hooves. ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao felt that this method should be feasible, and immediately found the general as a prisoner and a horse groom to work together.

Try it on a war horse first, if it is really feasible, then Chu Feng will be a great credit, and there is no need to worry about the wear and tear of the war horse's hooves in the future.
