"Quick, hold hold!" Huo Guang pointed at Lin Yaoqing and shouted.

I had been dragging it before, and I didn't put a saddle on Dahei, horseshoes and other harnesses.

Now I'm forced to have no choice.

I had to take it to the master who played the horseshoe and put it on the harness.

But this big black nature is fierce, and you can't hold it down without bringing a few people!

Lin Yaoqing listened to Huo Guang's words, stepped forward and held down Da Hei with everyone.

At this time!

He said with a little difficulty: "Huo Dubo, didn't you say before that you were afraid that forcibly holding it down would hurt it, why, let's hold down this big dark horse today?" ”

Huo Guangzheng pressed his front hooves, and after hearing the words, he didn't forget to explain: "That's no way, who let my uncle be masturbated now, Nanda Camp is in charge of those old generals." With the strictness of General Cheng's strictness, if I don't press the horseshoe to Da Hei today, I will definitely be taken away as a dirty horse. ”

The two of them were talking.

The craftsman who was responsible for installing the horseshoe said with a smile: "You officials, why are you so funny, why do you need so many people for the last horseshoe!" ”

"Go away, go away."

"I can press this horseshoe alone."

The craftsman who installs the horseshoe is basically a single person who can install it.

The process is usually to clamp the horse's hooves between the legs, lift the hooves back, and then nail them into the cuticle.

Of course.

Among them, there is also the process of putting the red-hot horseshoe on the horse's hooves and so on, because it is more cumbersome, so I won't say much.

Huo Guang looked at the confident craftsman at this moment, and did not choose to walk away, but admonished: "Before, you had a Master Liu here, you know? ”

When the craftsman heard this, he nodded and said, "I know, he also took me for two days, but something happened and I went home to raise it." ”

Huo Guang heard that Master Liu was going home to raise him, and he didn't feel a little more guilty on his face.

Then he sighed and said, "Master Liu also had the same idea as you at the beginning, but he was trampled by me. ”

"Fortunately, Master Liu is in good health and fine."

"You're like this, if you want to hold on to a hoof, I'm afraid it's enough to choke!"

Enough choke!

refers to the fact that if you are kicked by a big dark horse, whether you can survive is a key issue.

When the master craftsman heard this, he immediately said: "You bluff me, why didn't I hear Master Liu say that I went home to raise it because of this?" ”

For this doubt!

Huo Guang smiled noncommittally, although he felt guilty, he did know the reason.

Because Master Liu loves face.

The man who installs the horse's hooves is kicked by the horse, and that is to be ridiculed by his peers.

With Master Liu's temperament, how could he tell the real reason!

It's like striking an eagle all day long, but being pecked blind by an eagle.

Isn't this a shame on the industry?

Huo Guang didn't want to mock a craftsman, so he said lightly: "It's different, other horses are gentle, of course you can be alone." I'm a fierce horse, I can't do it alone! ”

"Master."

"You're going to try it like that!"

Hearing this, the craftsman had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, then I'll try it first!" ”

said.

He put the red-hot horseshoe against the black horse's hoove, and smoke rose from it. Although it was only the cuticle of the horse's hooves, Daikoku was still terrified.

I almost threw Huo Guang out of the air several times.

At this time.

Because of the drastic action of the big black, the craftsmen who installed the horseshoe were not able to nail the big black with iron nails.

And this.

It also led to an outburst of temper among the craftsmen.

"Hey, okay, okay, how can there be such a fierce horse, it's all your business. I'll do it alone, don't do it! ”

In words!

It was full of craftsmen who expressed their disbelief in Huo Guang's words, and at the same time, knocked off the hand of the horse's hooves that Huo Guang was holding.

"Eh, don't"

Huo Guang was very helpless, and the temper of this craftsman was too stubborn.

I persuade you with good words, why don't you believe it?

At this time!

When the master craftsman picks up the horse's hooves and prepares to clamp the horse's hooves with the strength of his legs under his hips. Da Hei suddenly stumbled, and the master of the horseshoe fell straight to the ground.

He was kicked by a horse.

This is a very serious matter.

"It's really hard to persuade damn it." Huo Guang shook his head helplessly, and then ordered the soldiers on the side: "Don't be stunned, you people, go, carry people in to rest." ”

"No."

The soldiers looked at each other, and then carried the master craftsman to rest.

Then.

Huo Guang had no choice but to take the horseshoe himself and began to install it on the big black.

The red-hot horseshoe, placed on the stratum corneum of the horse's hooves, soon a puff of white smoke rises. Then, he rubbed it with a tool knife, and after it was almost smoothed, Huo Guang began to put a horseshoe on Da Hei.

Iron nails under the striking of a hammer.

Penetrate directly into the stratum corneum.

The cuticle of a horse's hoof, like a human fingernail, doesn't hurt to cut off, let alone nail a few nails.

Although Huo Guang is not very proficient in the business of putting on horseshoes, this process is not a difficult task.

Soon.

All four horseshoes are on the horseshoe.

"Okay, everyone, you can let go of my big dark horse!" Huo Guang said to the soldiers.

"No."

Lin Yaoqing and others took the lead in letting go of Dahei.

At first.

Da Hei, who had just let go of his hand and was free, suddenly raised his front hooves high in an agitated mood, and a hiss came out.

It's like a tiger out of a cage, roaring its dissatisfaction and venting its anger.

"Huo Dubo, hold on to the reins, be careful that the big black horse runs away." Lin Yaoqing kindly reminded.

However, Huo Guang shook his head and said, "No! ”

Just now, everyone held down Da Hei and wronged this guy.

Now I definitely have to vent my emotions.

Seeing that Huo Guang, who was the owner of the big black horse, didn't care about this problem, Lin Yaoqing naturally didn't care, but asked with some curiosity: "Huo Dubo, since you want to keep this big black horse, what about the current mount?" ”

Huo Guang's current mount.

It is a tame maroon horse.

Although he has a tame personality, he is also a good horse.

its pedigree.

It may be a mixed breed of Dawan horses from the Western Regions, and the main feature of Dawan horses is that the horses are relatively tall and have jujube red fur all over their bodies.

Compared with the bantam horses of the Han Dynasty, it is much better.

This.

It's not blown, but later Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty saw that Dawan was a small country, but the horses were so good.

I immediately moved my mind.

So he sent troops to destroy the country of Dawan and took Dawan as his own.

But that's all for later.

It's too early to tell.

Huo Guang saw Lin Yaoqing asking, so he said: "Shangjiao, what else can I do, the barracks are now under the control of those generals of the older generation, and it is stipulated that one person can only have one horse, and I can't help it." ”

When the big black horse finished shaving joy, Huo Guang took it to install the Takahashi saddle and stirrup.

These two things are very simple, not like the hassle of grinding and nailing like a horseshoe, so it was done quickly.

It didn't take too long to follow!

The three-piece set of the big dark horse was installed.

"Okay, Deputy Uncle Lin, you take these subordinates who came with you, take a day off, and count me as a vacation for you!"

There is no place to eat inside and outside the camp, and Huo Guang's gratitude for the help of a few people can only be two days off.

If it's in Chang'an City.

Huo Guang had to invite them to eat and drink here.

Seeing that the big black horse had already loaded the three-piece cavalry suit, Huo Guang couldn't wait to get on the horse and ride a few laps on the school field.

Because of the horseshoe.

Daikoku makes a crisp sound of "boom" when he walks.

This is completely different from the feeling of riding Da Hei before, but in the barracks, Huo Guang is about to vomit every day when he rides a horse. So after a few laps, I got off the horse and didn't try it again.

A few days later.

When Huo Guang was ready to ride it and train the hundred or so cavalry under his command.

Da Heidi's left front hoof suddenly seemed to be broken, and he was limping when he walked.

Huo Guang was very worried and checked the front hooves of the big black, thinking that the nails on the horseshoe were too deep and pierced the flesh.

But an examination found that this was not the reason.

The nails on the horseshoe are protruding from the outside and will never poke the flesh.

So how could this big dark horse limp on one foot? Huo Guang was puzzled, and after training, Huo Guang had to ask Lin Yaoqing to lead his subordinates, and his original jujube red mount had already been taken away.

Now Daikoku is injured.

Huo Guang had no horses to ride, so he raised the horse first.

Can be raised.

One day, he felt that something was wrong.

He found himself walking away, and it was normal for Big Black to play with the other horses. When he approached, he was lame.

Moreover.

Under one of their own surprise inspections.

This thing immediately changed from a normal appearance to a lame appearance. It's a pity that this guy lifted the wrong foot.

Usually the left leg is lame, but this time I actually lifted the right leg and was lame.

"Good guy, still pretend, you will return when you become a sperm!" Huo Guang immediately stepped forward and scolded him.

Pity.

Da Hei couldn't understand people's words, and continued to pretend to be lame, and the angry Huo Guang kicked its left foot and said, "Isn't it lame in the left leg, how can you pretend to be the right foot today?" Oh, it's better to say that the left foot is good, and the right foot is injured! ”

Huo Guang's tone was very ugly.

Dahei can't understand human speech, but the animals all have a characteristic, and they can feel the current mood of their owners from their tones.

Plus Huo Guang kicked its left foot.

This guy immediately understood that he was exposed, and even if he didn't pretend to be there, he looked embarrassed and rubbed beside Huo Guang.

"Who did you learn from, and you know how to please your master!" Huo Guang couldn't help but snort, and when he no longer felt sorry for Da Hei, he rode it directly to train cavalry.

And this.

And just a small episode.

Life in the barracks was boring and boring day after day.

this day.

Huo Guang, as usual, rode Da Hei and led the soldiers to prepare for the exercise.

Suddenly, the herald came to him and said, "Huo Dubo, the general has an order, let you follow the messenger back to Chang'an." ”

General?

At this time, the great general of the Han Dynasty is not just a Wei Qing!

Who else could there be?

Huo Guang was puzzled, but he didn't ask the herald about this, just nodded and said, "Where is the messenger?" ”

"Outside the barracks gate, Huo Dubo can leave the barracks with this token." As he spoke, the herald gave Huo Guang an iron card engraved with the word "order".

This iron card has little effect.

Can only be used to enter and exit the barracks at will.

Huo Guang took the iron card, and after leaving the barracks, he saw the messenger.

This messenger is a fresh face, and Huo Guang doesn't know it.

However, Huo Guang didn't care, and after following him back to Chang'an, he was taken into a super-large blacksmith shop that was tightly guarded by the Yulin Army.

Over here.

He not only met Wei Qing, who was removed from the position of commander of the Nanda Battalion, but also met Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Chen Huoguang, meet Your Majesty!" Huo Guang immediately bowed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, hurriedly pulled him up, no matter how much, and said directly: "Look, according to what you said, I gathered these flying thunders from all over the country to gather outstanding blacksmiths from all over the country, do you think it is feasible?" ”

The rush that just came in.

Huo Guang didn't pay attention to it, but now when he saw it, he was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, the size of these tubes is enough, and the thickness seems to be okay, but the inner wall is too rough, and the minister suggests that the inner wall be smoother!" ”

"Smooth?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, nodded suddenly and asked the blacksmiths to improve.

See this.

Huo Guang took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

"I've been here since I left the barracks." Wei Qing said lightly.

Emperor Wu of Han seemed to hear Huo Guang and Wei Qing whispering, and immediately said, "Why, do you think that I have belittled him, is it a punishment?" ”

Isn't it?

Huo Guang frowned and said, "This. How dare you guess Your Majesty's thoughts! ”

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che immediately laughed and said, "I'm afraid that you kid didn't have a lot of guesses behind my back, hmph!" ”

"Alright."

"Let me tell you, I sent Wei Qing to leave because I noticed that there were thieves who revealed the news to the Huns in Mobei."

"The boss has been demoted, which means that the Huns think that we are not ready to attack them in the near future."

"Not really."

"I have decided that in the next few days, I will march to Mobei and destroy those Huns!"

Attack Mobei?

Huo Guang was suddenly shocked and asked, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to attack at this time?" Although the cold winter has passed, and everything has begun to recover, it is cold in the desert north! ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, immediately glanced at Huo Guang and said, "How can you change the word?" Didn't you tell me before that in this season, the Huns, or their horses, were mating and raising their wombs! ”

"What else to say."

"After a bitterly cold winter, their war horses are in the period of emaciation, and at this time, it is only appropriate to attack them."

"How?"

"I don't remember what I said before?"

Huo Guang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Did you say that yourself?

What did you say?

I don't have much of an impression, I don't remember what I said!

"Ahem, Your Majesty, attacking now is indeed a good opportunity. However, maybe I didn't think it through at that time, this time to attack, the weather is cold, the land of the desert north is not as good as the Central Plains, and the warmth of the soldiers is also a problem! Huo Guang analyzed seriously.

However, Emperor Wu of Han did smile slightly and said, "I naturally considered this problem. ”

"Since the salt and iron official camp two years ago, I have ordered the subordinate officials of the Great Farmers to start collecting animal skins to make animal skin jackets, and at the same time, a lot of coats stuffed with animal hair have also been made."

"Quantitatively!"

"It's enough to support the soldiers to attack Mobei."

Let's be honest.

Huo Guang really didn't expect that his unintentional words would be listened to by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In particular, the idea of attacking the Huns when their cattle, sheep and horses were pregnant and raising their babies was really adopted.

I can't believe it!

Although the plan is absolutely useful, it is really vicious, and it is not what Huo Guang wants.

But this antiquity.

This is the period when Ru Mao drinks blood, the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated.

Can you say that a tiger is vicious when it hunts?

Can't!

It's also just about living.

If the Han Dynasty did not expel the Xiongnu, it would be expelled by the Xiongnu, and the Wenjing period is the best example.

Huo Guang understood this truth, and then he didn't think about anything more, and said: "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, it is better to let the army set off immediately and go north to attack Hungary!" ”
