The general came to the main hall and saluted.

"Start Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's will, 10,000 war horses have been preliminarily trained.

It's just that in the process of training, some war horses, horse legs, and horse hooves were damaged.

The damaged war horses are being arranged by the last general, and in a maximum of a month, 5,000 cavalry can be built. ”

Since the last time the Tang Dynasty signed an alliance with the Turks, Li Er began to train his team.

I always think about conquering the Turks.

In addition to training ordinary infantry, the Turks were vast steppes, so cavalry was particularly important.

All the way north, thousands of miles away, a horse alone is simply not enough.

If conditions permit, Li Er thought of one cavalry and three war horses, so that the Turkic child would have no way to escape.

But after all, reality defeated him, and now one person and two horsemen, the 5,000 cavalry trained is not enough.

It's a little irritating to think about that!

"Okay, the matter of the war horse will be handled by you with full authority, and if there is anything, you can send someone to find me.

What is the situation of the damaged war horses this time? ”

"Your Majesty, a total of more than 1,500 war horses were damaged this time.

There are more than 300 horses with leg injuries, which are relatively minor, and they only need to recuperate for a period of time, and they can continue to train after recovering from their injuries.

The remaining more than 1,200 horses are all injured in their hooves, and some of them are slightly injured, and they also need to recuperate for a period of time before they can continue training.

The other horses were very badly damaged by their hooves.

Even if you raise it well, I'm afraid that a similar situation will occur during training. ”

After hearing this, Li Er's brows furrowed.

"Why is the damaged war horse so bad?"

"Your Majesty, because the intensity of the training of our soldiers has increased, basically all of them will train on horseback, so."

Li Er thought for a moment after listening.

"Okay, I know, those horses that can be raised well are to continue training, and those who can't be raised are killed on the spot, so that the soldiers can eat meat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

If there is no use value, it would be a waste of grain and grass to keep them, but it's a pity that these hundreds of war horses.

Datang has two major horse-producing regions, and there is really no shortage of horses.

It's just that although there are horses, it doesn't mean that all horses can become war horses to fight in the field.

You also have to choose from the herd of horses, and after some training, you can become a qualified war horse.

The horse's hooves are badly damaged, the horse's hooves are badly damaged, the horseshoe, put shoes on the horse?

Du Ruhui, who was just about to get up and leave, saw the general come in, and also stood aside and heard what the general said to His Majesty, and muttered a few words in his mouth.

The general saluted, and was about to turn away!

"General Lee, wait a minute!"

"Huh?

Master Du? I wonder what Lord Du told me to do? ”

Just now, I was only concerned about meeting His Majesty in person and reporting the situation to His Majesty, and I didn't have time to see who the minister standing on the side was.

Looking at it today, isn't this Lord Du Ruhui Du?

It was not a rumor in the court before, this Lord Du was seriously ill and unable to return to the sky, but when I looked at it again today, it was full of oil, and his body looked even better than himself.

I don't know who made the rumor, it's really hateful.

"What's wrong? Kemin? ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen has an important matter to report to Your Majesty.

Just now I heard His Majesty talk to General Li about the serious damage to the horse's hooves.

Weichen thought that if we walked barefoot on the road and encountered stones, we would hurt our feet.

So we put on our shoes, and why not this horse?

If we put shoes on the horses, will the hooves of those horses not be damaged, no matter what kind of road they walk, no matter how intricate they are? ”

Poof.

When the general on the side heard Du Ruhui's words, he couldn't help but laugh directly.

"Your Majesty forgives me, our soldiers have been professionally trained, and we can't laugh no matter what happens.

The main reason is that the joke that Lord Du said is so funny that the last general didn't hold back, hahaha. ”

Not to mention the general below, even Li Er, who was sitting above, couldn't help laughing.

"Okay Keming, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't worry about the affairs of the court first.

Listen to my orders and go home to recuperate.

Remember what I told you, make sure you take care of your body, this is the task I have given you. ”

Du Ruhui's old face turned red instantly, and sure enough, what their servant said was a bit unreliable.

How can there be a horse in shoes, it's just nonsense.

But it's already happened, and I've already said it, so let's just say it.

Du Ruhui coughed lightly and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this matter of putting shoes on horses is not something that Wei Chen thought of.

It was Weichen who learned from Zhao Gongzi. ”

Immediately afterward, he told the story of what had happened yesterday outside the blacksmith's shop.

Hahaha.

The fat general laughed again, this time laughing so much that tears came out of his eyes.

"I said, Master Du, aren't you here to joke with us?

Horseshoe, shoes for horses, is still said by a subordinate.

Can a subordinate be taken seriously when he says nonsense? ”

It's just that when Du Ruhui finished saying all the words, Li Er's painting style changed.

I laughed alongside him before, and the whole person suddenly became very serious.

"Keming, what you said is true?

"Your Majesty is absolutely true."

"Horseshoe, shoe the horse, wonderful, wonderful.

I really didn't expect my virtuous brother to have such a wonderful idea.

You say that there are so many ministers in my court, why hasn't anyone thought of such a method? ”

What's going on?

The general standing on the side was not laughing, but saw His Majesty and Du Ruhui with a blank face.

I'll make up, won't you, Your Majesty was really moved by Du Ruhui, just a few words?

I said let's stop making trouble, okay?

The so-called putting shoes on horses is simply nonsense, I go, Your Majesty won't really believe it, right?

"Originally, I was thinking of waiting for a while to go to my virtuous brother's, but now it seems that I have to go again."

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks we are not in a hurry at this time.

Tomorrow after the morning pilgrimage, it will be too late to go over in the afternoon. ”

"Keming, you are really my lucky star, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you have brought such good news to people.

General Li, you go down first, continue training, and don't slaughter those war horses with seriously injured hooves, it's of great use for me to keep them. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As night fell, the curfew began again in Chang'an City, and all the gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At this time, outside Chang'an City, several carriages hurriedly rushed to Chang'an City.

Sitting in the front car was the eldest grandson Wuji who went to Zhaojiazhuang to deliver money and take things.

opened the curtain and glanced at the left and right sides, and scolded the housekeeper of Zhaojiazhuang angrily in his heart.

He counted the money in Chang'an City and took them to Zhaojiazhuang.

Originally, there were a lot of things to bring, and the speed was very slow.

When the sun was about to go down when they arrived, they paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, took all the things themselves, and left in a hurry, and they could arrive at Chang'an City before closing the city gate.

But his housekeeper asked someone to re-count it, not to mention, what contracts, treaties, signatures and pledges, delayed himself for a long time, is there no most basic trust between this person?

"Hurry up, Your Majesty is still waiting for it!"

"Yes, my lord."

Drive, drive, drive.

The group arrived outside Chang'an City and was stopped by the guards of Chang'an City.

Every time I went to Zhaojiazhuang, in order to be more convenient, I didn't carry the token with me, so that the eldest grandson Wuji was blocked outside Chang'an City.

"Lord Eldest Sun, wait a minute, you tell me, you don't get a token when you go out, this makes it difficult for us to do it.

We have already gone to the palace to report to Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty says to let you go, we will naturally let you go! ”

After a while, the news came, the city gate opened, and the eldest grandson Wuji and his party entered Chang'an City and hurried to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister is back."

"Can you bring something back?"

"Your Majesty, all the things have been brought back, please check them out."

When the 500 knives and 100 pairs of soft armor were placed in front of Li Er.

"Auxiliary, isn't it 100 weapons, why are there so many?"

"Your Majesty, mainly because we took a lot of money this time, and they still have a lot of inventory, so they have all taken it."

Li Er.......

After looking at the weapon and soft armor for a moment, he slapped his forehead vigorously.

"Auxiliary, tell me why I was confused at that time and bought so much?

It's better to buy it directly 10 weapons and 5 pairs of soft armor, let's take it directly to Chang'an City, and arrange for people to imitate it?

I spent so much money with such a painstaking effort, and when I think about it, my heart aches! ”

Thinking of the empty appearance of his small treasury now, Li Er really didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, unless we return the remaining soft armor."

"How can I go back on my word?"

"Eh, Your Majesty, let's spend money to build a good relationship with Zhao Gongzi."

"Alas, forget it, just calling him a brother and a brother, there is no interest relationship, presumably this relationship will not last long, come to the Ministry of Communication."

When the minister of the Ministry of Industry came overnight and came to the Taiji Palace, he saw His Majesty and the weapon in front of him, and the soft armor was very puzzled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have given you an important task, and as long as you can do it, I will be rewarded!"

"It's Your Majesty, and Weichen will definitely smear Your Majesty's liver and brain."

"This weapon in front of you, soft armor, I want you to take some and bring it to the Ministry of Industry, and at all costs, you must also build this weapon and soft armor successfully."

"It's Your Majesty, it's just Your Majesty, Weichen has something unclear, this weapon, soft armor, is there something strange about it?"
