The heavy snow finally stopped, and the sky was clear for several days, and spring returned to the world overnight.

The big Han Tiger Ben Zhonglang will Yuan Shu in a military uniform, majestic and heroic, standing on the Dagu Pass with a sword, looking north, only to see that the bustling and noisy Luoyang city has been hidden in the fierce wind and dust. Under the pass, five thousand tiger ben gathered into a stream of slanderous iron, playing a sonorous killing sound, which scorched Yuan Shu's chest.

A good man should be ambitious in all directions, the troubled times are coming, the heroes are rising together, and making contributions is at this time!

"Report~~" In the loud trumpet, a small colonel hurried to the pass, and said proudly, "Jiangdong Sun Jian, led 500 subordinates to come to serve. ”

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he said in a condensed voice: "Sun Jian! But Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger? ”

Xiao Xiao said: "It's this person." ”

Yuan Shuxi couldn't help but say, "Hurry up, please...... No, I'm going to welcome it. ”

Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped down the pass, came to the checkpoint, only to see a banner leaping into the eye, embroidered with a big "Sun" word, under the banner stood a tiger general, like a dragon and a tiger, mighty and extraordinary! A fiery red armor, like a churning and burning flame, the scorching killing intent attacked people head-on, and it was none other than the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian Sun Wentai, who had a fate.

Behind Sun Jian, four big men lined up, all of them had good appearances and murderous spirits, all of them were tigers and wolves.

"Sun Wentai is okay?"

Yuan Shu shouted, stretched out his arms and stepped forward, his joy overflowing.

Sun Jian's eyes lit up, his hands clenched into fists, knelt down on one knee, and said sonorously: "Jian, on the order of General Zuo Zhonglang, he led 500 Jiangdong volunteers from his headquarters to come to his command to listen to the reprimand. ”

Yuan Shu stepped forward to help Sun Jian up, stroked his palms and laughed: "With the help of Wentai and Jiangdong Huben's division, eight hundred liukou are not enough to fear." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Shu's gaze fell on the four big men behind Sun Jian, and asked loudly, "Who is this?" ”

Sun Jian replied: "Naijian's subordinates, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang. ”

"All strong men are also coming, and they will give cloth robes and thick armor."

"General Xie."

Zu Mao and the four knelt down to thank him.

……

Wancheng.

The fire in the blacksmith shop is burning, the outside of the shop is covered with ice and snow, dripping into ice, but the shop is a heat wave, more than 100 blacksmiths are bare-chested, sweating profusely, there are bellows, some forging, and some add fire, one by one busy is not happy, the sound of clanging resounded in the sky.

Ma Yue's expression was frosty, and he stood coldly in front of the blacksmith shop.

"Zi~~"

A blacksmith dipped a U-shaped piece of iron into the water with tongs, and only to hear a sound that caused a puff of heat to rise in the water, and then blisters on the calm water.

Behind Ma Yue, Pei Yuanshao scratched his head with a puzzled face, and asked, "Bo Qi, you asked Lao Guan Xingshi to mobilize the crowd to arrest so many blacksmiths, just to drum up this iron lump?" This thing can't be used as a secret weapon, and it can't be used as a weapon, so what's the use of it? ”

Ma Yue frowned, and said coldly: "You know a fart!" ”

No wonder Pei Yuanshao doesn't understand, even if the most learned and knowledgeable people of this era come, I'm afraid they don't understand the wonderful use of this iron bump, which seems inconspicuous, but it can greatly improve the durability and weight-bearing capacity of the war horse, because it is the horseshoe! Like Ma Yue, it is also a weapon that transcends time and space.

It is precisely because of the appearance of horseshoes and horse shoes that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has made a qualitative leap, so that the cavalry has gradually evolved from an auxiliary branch of the battlefield to a main branch. The appearance of horseshoes and horseshoes not only contributed to the emergence of heavy cavalry, but also made it possible for cavalry to run continuously over long distances.

Although the Western Liang cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period was powerful, it could only exert its power on local battlefields, and it lacked the ability to continuously stab, which was far from being comparable to the Mongolian iron cavalry that dominated the world in later generations!

The blacksmith leader presented the cooled four U-shaped iron bumps to Ma Yue, and said respectfully, "Great Chief, the horseshoe you want is ready." ”

Ma Yue waved his hand and said coldly: "Okay, nail the horseshoe!" ”

Four pillars had already been erected outside the blacksmith shop, and a rogue led a war horse, and four rogues had already stepped forward to tie the horse's limbs firmly to the pillar, and a strong man with a big belly rushed forward, spit into his hand, and turned one of the forepaws of the war horse around, and the sharp dagger in his hand was used like flying, and the skin of the sole of the horse's feet was cut smooth and smooth in an instant.

The blacksmith handed over the horseshoe and the made nails, and the strong man put the horseshoe under the horse's hooves and drove the nails one by one.

……

Three days later, Yuan Shu's army marched into Luyang.

Luyang County Ling Jin Shang did not dare to slack off, and took the county's officials out of the city for ten miles to greet him, accompanied by Zhang Xun, the governor of Nanyang who fled here. On the way to meet Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun can be said to be sincerely afraid, speaking of Wancheng was lost in his hands, according to the previous practice of three fires for new officials, Yuan Shu will definitely use him to establish his authority in order to shock the Nanyang officialdom.

Ten miles north of Luyang City, Jin Shang, Zhang Xun and a group of officials of all sizes were waiting on the snow, only to see a piece of iron armor slowly advancing from the north, sharp spears erected like mountains, pitch-black iron armor rubbing like clouds, and the cherry red tassels seemed to flow endlessly past them.

When Jin Shang, Zhang Xun and others were about to be overwhelmed by the ocean of iron armor, a banner that covered the sky finally appeared in front of them, embroidered with the word "Yuan", and a general stood proudly across the horse under the banner, wearing a purple gold crown to the sky, brocade robe and gold armor, and his appearance was extraordinary.

"Lu Yang ordered Jin Shang to knock on the general."

"The prisoner Nanyang Lieutenant Zhang Xun knocked to see the general."

Jin Shang, Zhang Xun and a group of officials, large and small, hurriedly knelt down and touched the ground with their heads, looking extremely respectful.

Yuan Shu proudly straddled the horse, there was a sharp cold flame in his eyes flashed, and then his face was changed to an amiable smile, turned over and jumped off the horse, hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward to help Jin Shang, and affectionately held Jin Shang's hands, and laughed: "Yuan Xiu is a famous man in Nanyang, and his art has been famous for a long time. ”

Jin Shangzheng was worried in his heart, thinking that Yuan Shu was a famous family, and he rarely occupied a high position, so it was inevitable that he would be domineering and embarrassed, but Yuan Shu was so polite and virtuous, so he hurriedly put away his previous contemptuous mentality, and said sincerely: "The general is falsely praised, and Shang really dare not be it." ”

Yuan Shu said: "Yuan Xiu does not have to be humble, this art is in Nanyang at the beginning, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, Brother Tai is a famous man in Nanyang, the door is old, known as a virtuous name, and it needs to be carried more in the future." ”

Jin Shang only felt the unstoppable upsurge of blood in his chest, and said excitedly at that time: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Yuan Shu stroked his palms and smiled: "I have to help Yuan Xiu, and pacify Nanyang." ”

Zhang Xun next to him saw that Yuan Shu valued Jin Shang so much, he was both jealous and envious in his heart, and saw Jin Shang's face flushed and retreated behind Yuan Shu, so he had to stiffen his head, take two steps forward on his knees, squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes, and cried: "The criminal Zhang Xun has no way to defend the land, and I implore the general to punish him." ”

Yuan Shu pretended to find Zhang Xun at this time, and immediately took two steps forward to help Zhang Xun up, and said in shock: "Could this be the famous Hanoi general Zhang Xun Zhang Yimou?" ”

(ps: I checked the information for a morning, but I didn't find Zhang Xun's name and hometown, who can help find it, the swordsman is grateful.) ）

Zhang Xun thought about thousands of possibilities, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to do this to him, so he choked up at that time, and looked at Yuan Shu blankly and didn't know what to say. Yuan Shu grabbed Zhang Xun's hands and shook them vigorously, and said very sincerely: "The loss of Wancheng has been fully known, and its crime is not in the wings, it is caused by Qin Jie's horsemen who do not understand military affairs and use troops indiscriminately. ”

Zhang Xun was at a loss, and said with a sigh: "This ......"

Yuan Shu saw that Zhang Xun's robe and armor were tattered, and he was embarrassed, so he took off his brocade robe, personally draped Zhang Xun on his body, and ordered his own soldiers to lead his war horse, so that Zhang Xun rode it, Zhang Xun swore to die, Yuan Shu had to order his own soldiers to bring another horse, Zhang Xun turned over and got on the horse, Yuan Shu made him and Jin Shang accompany him, talk and laugh all the way, and go to Luyang together.
