"Pengju, what is it, can you explain it in detail?" Cao Cao was a little impatient, he wanted to know what Zhao Fei was talking about. I was very curious about what Zhao Fei said could increase the attack power of cavalry and make horses and knights one.

For Cao Cao, his own path is full of thorns, Yuan Shao in the north is raising troops to unify the four northern continents, and after Yuan Shao takes the north, he will turn his gun to attack him. And looking at the surrounding environment, it is also steep and abnormal.

Although Lu Bu in the east did not have a tiger with broken claws, you must know that the tiger's residual power still exists, and if it really breaks out, the old tiger can hurt people just as much. Looking at the southwest again, Yuan Shu is ambitious, as if he has already managed Huainan into a country within a country, such a rebellious person, he will have to crusade against him sooner or later.

Looking at the south again, Liu Biao sits in Jingzhou, although the matter is calm, but Jingzhou is rich, although Liu Biao has no ambition as a literati, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will think like this for the rest of his life. You know, when a person's strength is strong, his desires and greed will also increase. However, these are all later words, and in the current view, although Liu Biao is strong, he can at least ignore it.

In addition to these, the west also had to be guarded. Although Guanzhong was in a situation where more than a dozen warlords were divided, Ma Teng Han Sui stood out among the many princes, and had faintly suppressed the rest of the princes. I'm afraid it won't be long before one of the two will become the lord of Xiliang.

Therefore, looking around Yanzhou, it is surrounded by strong enemies. If he grows and grows stronger in the cracks, he will definitely be crushed into pieces by many increasingly large princes.

Since the troubled times have been born, every man with a certain strength will have a certain idea, that is, to unify the whole country and create an immortal cause. Cao Cao is also a human being, a man who used to be very hot-blooded and resourceful and powerful enough, so he will never be willing to be left behind, so there is only one way in front of him. Either he overcame all obstacles and unified the north and the whole country with strong strength and means, or he was shrouded in horse leather and died in the journey of conquest.

"I'm not talking about one, but two. The combination of the two things can definitely multiply the combat power of the cavalry. Zhao Fei smiled a little mysteriously, and then he asked, "Does Meng De know what is the reason for restricting cavalry?" ”

Hearing Zhao Fei ask himself, Cao Cao frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said, "First of all, if cavalry wants to form combat effectiveness, it needs a long time of training. Otherwise, it's hard to achieve much. In addition, although the cavalry is strong, its defense is low. This also made it difficult for the cavalry to defeat the enemy by confined to flank attacks. ”

Zhao Fei nodded, then said with a smile: "If you let the horses and soldiers wear armor, then you can greatly improve the defense ability of the Qing soldiers in the near future." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly: "Pengju said simply, but although good horses can bear the weight of armor, their hooves are difficult to bear such a huge weight, so it won't take long for the horse's hooves to crack, and the war horse will be wasted." ”

Cao Cao had just finished speaking, and then asked with a solemn face: "Pengju, don't you have a way to prevent the horse's hooves from cracking?" "If that's the case, it's absolutely unprecedented. With strong defense and flexibility, the cavalry will definitely be able to gain an increasingly important position in future wars.

"Otherwise, why would I ask?" Zhao Fei smiled pleasantly, and then said: "If you nail a circle of iron on the horse's hooves, will that reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hooves?" If that's the case, you can put armor on the horses and men, just imagine, such a heavy cavalry into the battlefield, whether it is impact or lethality, is absolutely a must. ”

Cao Cao saw one, and it was obvious that Zhao Fei's words said in Cao Cao's heart. If what Zhao Fei said was true, it would definitely be a considerable increase in the combat power of the cavalry. If this can really be done, then he can organize the invincible ironclad cavalry, and at that time, Yanzhou's combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved.

"Mengde, don't forget, I said two things, and one thing made you happy like this without saying anything." Seeing Cao Cao's enthusiastic appearance, Zhao Fei couldn't help but say something.

Sure enough, hearing Zhao Fei's words, Cao Cao immediately put away the joy he had just now, and asked eagerly: "Okay, you Zhao Pengju, you actually entertained me, knowing that I was anxious in my heart, but you said cool things this time, and you were really careless in making friends." ”

"Since Meng De thinks that I am a bad friend, then don't talk about it." Zhao Fei said with a snicker in his heart. He just wanted to deliberately anger Cao Cao to appease his resentment.

And Cao Cao obviously didn't hold on, he instantly softened after hearing Zhao Fei's words. At the same time, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head secretly, because he was very curious about what Zhao Fei was writing in his head, and why the items he invented were so extraordinary. Not to mention the stills and mahjong on the table, the idea of nailing iron palms to horseshoe alone makes people feel very incredible.

"Pengju, don't be embarrassed by your lordship, and I do want to know, what is going on in your mind?" At this time, Xun Yu, who was beside Cao Cao, finally spoke. Just now he was shocked by Zhao Fei's remarks, and now he is even more curious about what Zhao Fei plans to do.

"It's called a stirrup!" Seeing that Xun Yu opened his mouth to help Cao Cao, Zhao Fei knew that he had no way to continue, so he could only explain truthfully in the end.

"Stirrups?" Xun Yu said suspiciously, and the rest of the Wenchen generals also fell into deep thought, it was obvious that the thing Zhao Fei said never appeared in his mind. However, there are still smart people who can imagine what the stirrup in Zhao Fei's mouth is through the name.

Seeing that everyone was either thoughtful or full of doubts, Zhao Fei spoke again: "Stirrups, as the name suggests, are a pair of pedals hung on both sides of the saddle, which are used by horseriders to step on their feet when they get on the horse and when they ride. It is not only used for soldiers to get on horses, but also to support the rider's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of riding horses, and at the same time effectively protect the safety of riders. ”

After Zhao Fei was finished, everyone suddenly realized. Especially several military generals, their eyes are shining. As a military general, everyone naturally knows the role of stirrups. It is indeed very disadvantageous to fight immediately, not only can you not give full play to your strength, but you also have to distract yourself and clamp the horse's belly so that you will not fall off the horse. But if the stirrups are really made, what I was worried about before will not be a problem, and with the support points of my legs, I can go all out against the enemy.

Seeing that everyone already understood, Zhao Feiyou found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then drew a sketch with his own impression. However, Zhao Fei's painting skills are indeed a little unsatisfactory, but in general, people can still see what Zhao Fei is painting.

Looking at the "masterpiece" that Zhao Fei handed him, Cao Cao's heart was very difficult to calm down. The thing in front of me seems very simple, but its effect is absolutely immeasurable. With stirrups, soldiers were free to gallop on horseback, their hands free, and with the power of horses, soldiers could make all kinds of movements on horseback.

Especially in mounted archery, with this stirrup, it is never a dream to expand the white horse righteousness. Because with the stirrup, you don't need to be too skilled to ride and be able to bend the bow and shoot arrows on horseback.

"Is Meng De trying to expand the White Horse Righteous Servant?" Zhao Fei saw Cao Cao's eyes shining, and hurriedly asked.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and acquiesced to Zhao Fei's statement. However, Zhao Fei shook his head and said: "Meng De knows that the soldiers are elite but not many, and the soldiers of the White Horse Righteous Servant are all elite, and the one-handed riding and archery kung fu is unbeatable, but if you rashly arrange to use the benefits of the stirrup, and the soldiers without the White Horse Righteous Soldier's Elite enter, I am afraid it will backfire." ”

Zhao Fei's words were like a slap in the face, and Cao Cao woke up all of a sudden. Zhao Fei's words are not seen at all, and people with real strength will always look down on them. And the soldiers of the White Horse are powerful, and the others they arrange are using the stirrup, the two must be incompatible, in case something happens, he will really suffer a heavy loss.

"Excuse me for a fee." Cao Cao hurriedly got up and said, then said to Zhao Fei with the sketch given by Zhao Fei in his hand: "The stirrup is a sacred object, and I can't wait to see how powerful it is." Pengju, go to the workshop together, I can't wait. Saying that, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Fei, but Zhao Fei was caught by Cao Cao without paying attention.

Zhao Fei's thin figure, how could he resist Cao Cao's strength, so under Cao Cao's strong pull, Zhao Fei was dragged out of the door by Cao Cao.

Seeing this scene, Guo Jiaxunyu and others smiled. After laughing, everyone didn't dare to take it, and they all went towards the workshop one after another.

Zhao Fei's thing is really charming, especially for military generals, it is very attractive. Therefore, the generals present were even more anxious, and walked out of the Taiwei Mansion one after another.

Looking at the Taiwei Mansion, which was overcrowded just now, but now it is full of people, Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. At the same time, there was also a trace of curiosity and shock between his eyebrows, and he wanted to know very much why Zhao Fei had such a wonderful idea.

When a group of important officials of the court came to the workshop, they startled the overseers. Although Xuchang is the current national capital, who has ever seen so many important ministers appear in the workshop. Especially the two people at the front, the person who was arrested here knew at a glance that he was the captain of the dynasty. And the person who grabbed the Taiwei was the prime minister of the dynasty, and for a while, the entire workshop fell into a huge panic.
