The next day, Ling Xiao arrived at a gallop all the way, and Ling Xiao greeted him, "General, more than a dozen of the horses we raised have died." More than 60 horses were also quarantined. The wild horse was fine, but he fell ill and did not die. The twenty horses did not appear to be unusual. ”

Forty percent of the two hundred horses went wrong at once!

"What did Old Chu say?"

"Chu Lao said that those who have fallen ill will be treated first, and they will try their best to save them. Then focus on those who have not yet developed the disease and whether there are signs of infection. This piece is left to our people. His focus was on the twenty horses. The horses starved him for three days, and only gave him clear water. ”

"So he suspects something is wrong with the food?"

"Hmm. Even if he feeds the water, he asks people to drink it first, and he can feed the horses after drinking for half an hour. He tasted the forage himself, just as well. Taste the same rest for a long time, but after tasting it still not for the horse. I said that we would help him taste it, and he said that it would affect his judgment, saying that we didn't understand. It's not like he has tried a lot over the years to find out the cause of the horse disease. He said that people and horses will react differently when they eat it, and it's not that a veteran like him can't see the problem. ”

"That's because he hasn't figured out the problem yet. I'm not sure it's okay to taste it. Even such a method has been used, and it seems that he also finds the problem a bit tricky. Let people look at it, don't let the old man have a problem eating. ”

Those twenty horses are certainly expensive, but an experienced horse breeder like Chu Lao is also expensive.

As he was talking, he hurriedly came to report that Chu Lao had found the problematic forage.

Ling Jingshan hurriedly strode in, and Ling Xiao followed. Ming Hao also trotted to follow up. It's the first time he's heard that people eat horse feed to find the cause, and he has to see it.

Chu Lao's Analects was on the lawn of the horse farm, and he was comparing two kinds of forage in his hands.

Ling Jingshan hurriedly said, "Old Chu, are you okay?" ”

Chu Lao raised his head, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" Well, general, you ask the little old man, I'm fine. He said and smiled, thinking that General Ling must have asked him about his discovery, but he didn't expect to ask him first.

Ling Jingshan took the two kinds of forage he handed over, "Don't use it again in the future, Shennong tasted the herbs several times and almost poisoned him." Isn't that a kind of forage? ”

Chu Lao shook his head, "No, the forage in the general's left hand is a kind of forage that the horses transplanted from Xiling like very much." The one on the right hand is a poisonous weed, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The little old man can recognize it, but it's a pity that the old eyes are dizzy and useless. Fortunately, I tasted it in the Imperial Horse Prison back then, and I still remember the taste. ”

Ling Jingshan looked at it for a long time and found out the difference under the guidance of Old Chu, he shook his head and handed it to the steward of the racecourse, "Shovel all the things that look like them for me." In the future, the forage bought from outside will also be eliminated. ”

"Yes, General." Originally, it was specially transplanted and cultivated for the eating habits of these Xiling horses, who would have thought that it would give people with a heart an opportunity to take advantage of. Now it seems that the wild horses have nothing to do except that they are physically stronger and do not like to eat this grass, so they feed less is also a reason.

He was about to call someone to get the first out of the trough, when he heard his subordinates say: "Steward Cai, more than a dozen horses are sick." ”

Steward Cai said: "Old Chu, since it is a problem with eating, there should be no need to isolate it anymore, right?" "The old man really has a specialization in the art industry, and he took it.

"Well, let the veterinarian prescribe the right medicine. The twenty horses were fed quickly, and they were so hungry that they even wanted to gnaw on the reins. ”
