After Cheng Biting Jin galloped away, Li Shimin, Hou Junji, and Li Ji were waiting anxiously.

Only Du He has a relaxed face and has the chance to win.

For them it was an experiment, an experiment with unknown results, but for Duho it was an unchangeable fact.

The appearance of stirrups and horseshoes is an inevitable weapon for the rise of cavalry.

After a while, Li Shimin, Hou Junji, and Li Ji were all a little impatient.

That's when it happened!

"Knock, knock, knock......" sounded like the hooves of a drum.

Before the figure arrived, Cheng Yanjin's hearty laughter had already reached the ears of the four people.

Li Shimin, Hou Junji, and Li Ji glanced at each other, knowing that this was done, and Du He still looked like he was not what I expected.

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Biting Jin threw the stirrup and dismounted, don't look at his age, but his movements were clean and neat, and there was no superfluous action.

"It's so enjoyable!" Cheng Yanjin laughed and wanted to punch Du He.

Du He took a step back and avoided it. This old guy doesn't know the severity of this punch, and if this punch is hit by him, it will hurt for at least three days.

Cheng Biting Jin punched the air, a hint of color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "The boy of the Du family is really good, Lao Cheng I rode it to drip mud and sand, rushed to the sea of fire, and traveled three miles in a hurry, and the horse's hooves were undamaged, which was enough to be of great use." You see......"

Cheng Yanjin lifted the horse's hooves, which were as bright as new without the slightest damage.

Li Shimin, Hou Junji, and Li Ji were all moved.

Li Shimin said: "Virtuous nephew, you have made a great contribution to my Tang Dynasty again!" ”

Hou Junji and Li Ji agreed, and at the same time gave Du He a respectful salute.

Du He hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he was a little inexplicable.

This horseshoe is indeed beneficial to the war horse, but it is not so laborious!

Li Shimin knew what he was thinking and explained: "You don't know, the appearance of this horseshoe is good news to my cavalry soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!" In the past, our Tang cavalry fought with the enemy, and the most lost thing was the war horse. After a big battle, at least eighty percent of the horses were wounded, and thirty percent were killed. According to statistics, most of the war horses were injured due to damage to the horse's hooves. My Datang is no better than those nomads, their horses can be described as a continuous stream, and they are replaced immediately if they are injured, regardless of the cost. And if my Tang cavalry war horse is damaged, it can only be replaced by two, and if two horses are also injured, they can only be injured on the field. This is a great danger to horses and people. With this horseshoe, my Datang soldiers can avoid this suffering, and they don't have to worry about this matter! ”

It turned out that in the battle of cavalry, the knights not only had to gallop long distances, but also had to rush back and forth in the muddy ground full of swords, fire, and fire.

The layer of keratin skin on the surface of the horse's hooves is the easiest to fall off when it encounters this situation, and once it falls off, the horse's hooves are immediately damaged and can no longer fight.

Although Datang said that there were plenty of horses, it was not as good as those nomads after all. Therefore, it is not uncommon for people to suffer losses, so Li Shimin, Hou Junji, and Li Ji all have different feelings.

In their opinion, the credit for Duhe's "invention" of this small horseshoe is no less than a victory.

"Hou Aiqing, you immediately ordered the military department to let the hooves of all my war horses in the Tang Dynasty be nailed to this horseshoe. In addition, I also want to tell the world that the wonderful use of this horseshoe will flow into thousands of households! Li Shimin acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately ordered to spread the wonders of this horseshoe to the world, so that the people of the world could avoid the pain of falling off the skin of horses.

Hou Junji, Li Ji, and Cheng Yanjin resigned and left one after another.

Du He originally planned to retire, but Li Shimin stopped him.

The two walked on the way back to the palace one after the other.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Virtuous nephew, you have made a great contribution to my Tang Dynasty again, how do you say I should reward you?" ”

Du He smiled indifferently and said, "It's good that Uncle Li has this heart, this merit can't be rewarded!" ”

In a sense, Duhe's horseshoe is a great achievement, which can reduce the disadvantage of my Datang on horses. But to put it bluntly, it is just a piece of iron on the horse's hoof, which has no practical meaning.

Just like the promotion of polo that he proposed, it is indeed feasible in theory, but the actual results are also unknown, and no one can be sure.

It is really unreasonable to say that it is clear that it is understood that Li Shimin came forward to take the credit for Duhe's promotion of polo, and he will bear it regardless of success or failure. Otherwise, with Li Shimin's sage, how could he compete with Du He?

It's the same this time.

"You figured it out!" Li Shimin was quite appreciative of Du He's knowledge of current affairs, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "But I am not the kind of faint monarch who has unknown rewards and punishments, the bright ones can't do it, and the dark ones can always do it!" I heard the queen say that you are good at dancing swords, and you also wrote a song "Chivalrous Travel", 'Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. 'Good poems and good verses, I will choose the same from this poem, and reward you! First of all, 'Zhao Keman Hu Ying' is clothing, that is, armor, I have a pair of lion king armor in a hundred battles, not to mention invulnerability, but it can also resist most of the sharp weapons, which can ensure that you charge into battle and be invincible; Finally, the 'Silver Saddle and White Horse' is a horse, and I have six horses: Tellebi, Qinghu, Shivachi, Sa Luzi, Fist Mao, and White Hoof, all of which are good horses that have fought with me in the world, and I can also give you one! ”

"How? The choice is yours! Li Shimin's eyes looked at Du He, and the appreciation in his eyes was self-evident.

Du He knew that Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had no jokes, and as soon as this remark came out, if he refused, it would not be beautiful, and he was thinking about choosing such a treasure at the moment.

The name of the Hundred Battles Lion King Armor is majestic, but he can't use it for the time being, and he doesn't have it. What's more, if you are good at light work, if you wear a pair of bulky armor, wouldn't you give up your strengths and weaknesses?

The Lion King Armor of the Hundred Battles is the first to reject!

In order to commemorate the six horses that accompanied him to conquer the world, Li Shimin ordered Yan Liben to carve down the six horses with his own hands and put them in the Zhaoling Tomb for burial, so it is also called "Zhaoling Six Horses". Among them, the two horses of "Sa Lu Zi" and "Fist Hair Jacket" were stolen and sold to the United States in 1914, and the first Chinese national treasure obtained by Du He when he became a thief was "Sa Lu Purple" and "Fist Hair Jacket".

They followed Li Shimin's conquest of the battlefield, and both sides had a deep affection for each other, which can be seen from Li Shimin's request for painting master Yan Liben to carve the six war horses and accompany the burial of Zhaoling.

This horse is a good horse, but it is not Duhe's favor to win people's love, and it is also rowed away.

All that remains is weapons.

"I choose to open the territory of the Dragon Sword!" Duhe didn't hesitate and decisively chose what he wanted.

"Good!" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed with a smile, "I will give you the Dragon Sword of the Frontier!" ”
