The governor of Ganzhou, Gongsun Wuda, was working in the official office, and at this time, his subordinates moved in some things, and reported that there was a person named Luo Dasui who asked to see him.

"Luo Dasui?" Gongsun Wuda was stunned.

I don't think I've ever heard of this name.

"What are these?" He asked, gesturing to something on the ground.

"It's all offered by the man named Luo Da Sui."

Gongsun Wuda walked down and studied it, and found that it was just a plow, and the other curved pieces of iron were not known for their purpose.

"Bring him in."

"Whoa!"

Not long after, Luo Taisui, who is alias Luo Da Sui, walked in.

He felt that if he changed his name slightly, the government would not be able to find him in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that he had already been exposed......

"General Gongsun!" Luo Taisui saluted.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Wuda asked.

"Nai Yiyi, I got some practical small objects by chance, and I came to present them to the general." Luo Taisui replied calmly.

"Isn't it just a pair of plows? What's so special about it? Gongsun Wuda circled around the Quyuan plough again.

Luo Taisui smiled: "Whether it's good or not, the general will know if you try it." ”

Gongsun Wuda saw that Luo Taisui had a fearless posture, and called someone to take out the Quyuan plow to test the plowing.

Luo Taisui also took care of a few words of use.

"Then these pieces of iron ......" Gongsun Wuda looked at Luo Taisui with questioning eyes.

Luo Taisui replied: "This thing is called a horseshoe, also known as a horseshoe, which can be nailed under the horse's hooves to prevent the horse's hooves from wearing. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Wuda groaned.

He often led his army to fight against foreigners in the Gobi Desert or in the mountains, and the wear and tear of the horses' hooves was indeed quite serious.

This puzzle that plagues every general, a small piece of iron solves it?

Is it that simple?

"You said nail it into the horse's hooves?"

Gongsun Wuda frowned, could it be that there was fraud in it?

"That's right." Luo Taisui is a little bigger.

"Nail it in?" Gongsun Wuda asked again, and his face gradually became unkind.

This kid can't be a gap sent by the enemy to plague our army's war horses, right?

"It's best to use iron nails." Luo Taisui looked like he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"How daring!" Gongsun Wuda slapped the table and said, "Come on, take down this spy for me!" ”

The guards outside the door suddenly rushed in, took out the blade, and surrounded Luo Taisui, the posture was ...... As long as Luo Taisui dared to resist, he swarmed up and chopped into meat sauce.

"General Huwei." Luo Taisui, who was almost hit in the face by the tip of the knife, didn't panic at all, and didn't even blink his eyes, "But kill me, the general will regret it for life." ”

Gongsun Wuda laughed: "This general kills people like mustard, what qualifications do you have to make me regret it for life?" ”

Luo Taisui immediately scolded: "The general killed me, which is equivalent to cutting off the opportunity for the Tang cavalry to improve its combat strength, will you really regret it?" ”

Gongsun Wuda was stunned for a moment.

Luo Taisui said loudly again: "The general didn't even try, so he gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and neglected his duties so far, which is really surprising and inexplicable!" ”

The guards surrounding him were impressed by his momentum, and they couldn't help but look at Gongsun Wuda, waiting for his next instructions.

Gongsun Wuda twisted his brows into a Sichuan character, and after a long silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can try to show me." If not, you will not be spared! ”

With a wave of their hands, the guards stepped aside.

"Lead a horse."

Luo Taisui was honest and unkind, and made a request directly.

Gongsun Wuda motioned to his subordinates to comply.

A short time later, a healthy horse was led out of the door.

Luo Taisui asked for a few more tools, and then asked people to lead the horse, and he lifted a front hoof and clamped it under his armpit and looked at it carefully.

Due to the lack of protection, there are many injuries on the hooves.

Luo Taisui shoveled away the uneven place, then put the horseshoe in place, took a nail, and nailed it diagonally.

He had already visually measured the shape and thickness of the cuticle of the horseshoe, and when the nail had penetrated a certain amount, it would emerge from the middle of the horse's hoof, and then bend the exposed part to fix it.

In this way, it is like hanging a horseshoe on a horse's hooves, and it is more secure.

Soon, he fixed the horseshoe with eight nails.

The horses were well-trained, and there was no movement the whole time.

After Luo Taisui nailed the four horseshoes, Gongsun Wuda had unconsciously squatted down with him and looked intently.

"It's as simple as that?"

Seeing that the horse didn't react in pain at all, he actually believed it.

"Why not give it a try?"

Luo Taisui didn't explain, let the facts prove it.

Gongsun Wuda threw the stirrup on the horse and rode the horse to run.

I saw the horse's hooves flying over, clattering loudly, but the horseshoe clinged to it tightly, and there was no sign of falling off.

"It seems to be more powerful!"

As he was born in the army, he immediately noticed the slightest change in the state of the horse.

"The general should know that what I say is true." Luo Taisui stood in place, so that he could take a long time.

"How offended!"

Gongsun Wuda turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted, welcomed Luo Taisui into the living room, and ordered someone to serve tea.

"I didn't expect that a small piece of iron would solve a big problem that had plagued us for a long time, which was really an eye-opener for Gongsun someone."

He laughed, his attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees compared to before.

Luo Taisui was not arrogant or impatient, and said calmly: "Compared with a powerful Ganzhou that attaches equal importance to the army, agriculture, industry, and commerce, this is just some gadgets I prepared in order to ask to see General Gongsun. ”

"Oh? A powerful Ganzhou with equal emphasis on military, agriculture, industry and commerce? Gongsun Wuda noticed the strong message released from his words, and said with interest: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Luo Taisui was already prepared, and said: "Ganzhou, and even the entire Hexi, borders the East and West Turks in the north, and Tubo and Tuyuhun in the south. ”

Gongsun Wuda nodded slowly.

With these strong nomadic or semi-nomadic countries have a certain advantage in cavalry, if the Tang Dynasty wants to compete with it, it naturally needs a large number of cavalry.

But......

Datang has no shortage of elite soldiers and fierce generals, only good horses.

"Where do the horses come from?"

Gongsun Wuda finally asked this question.

The so-called horseshoe did make him have a better opinion of Luo Taisui, but whether this person has real talent and real learning, you can see it from this question.

"Does the general know about Yanzhi Mountain?" Luo Taisui asked.

"Of course I do." Gongsun Wuda has long been familiar with the geography of the nearby mountains and rivers.

This Yanzhi Mountain, also known as Delete Dan Mountain, is in the territory of Ganzhou.

At that time, Huo Quai, the general of the Han Hussars, rode out of Longxi, crossed the Yanzhi Mountain and fought with the Huns, and beheaded more than 8,000 people!

Such a great achievement, as a general of the unified army, should be sincerely aspired to.

"Then the general knows that the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain is rich in water and grass, and it is a natural and excellent pasture?" Luo Taisui asked again.

Gongsun Wuda was silent.

He was good at riding and taming horses.

But I don't know much about horse breeding and horse herding.

Luo Taisui smiled: "I have a word, the general listens to it......"
