However, after several scans, he still failed to find what he wanted to see.

He suddenly raised his head, scratched the back of his head in a "stupid" manner, and asked Guan Yu: "Second Uncle Guan, where is our stable? Why didn't I see it?"

He came to this military camp firstly to see how far their military literacy had reached after this period of training.

And he already understood this just now.

The second thing is to take a look at an idea I had discussed with Guan Yu, to build a "horse farm".

Although they currently do not have the conditions to build a large enough "horse farm", there are still horses that can be raised in the military camp.

If you want to build a "horse farm" that can meet the needs of the army, you will naturally need a good source of horses, as well as perfect and superior breeding technology.

Although the "source of horse production" is very important, Liu Chan is more concerned about the quality of breeding technology.

After all, there are inherent differences between horses of different breeds.

A sufficiently competent horse breeder should be able to maximize the usefulness of the horses according to their differences.

Therefore, this was a rare opportunity, and he also wanted to see how well these horses were raised and whether they could reach the level of running a racecourse.

Guan Yu said seriously: "The stables are over there."

When he spoke, he pointed the direction for Liu Chan with his hand.

Looking along Guan Yu's finger, Liu Chan found that it was the direction of the camp on the left.

I think the stables should be right behind the tent.

"Then let's go over and take a look."

As Liu Chan finished speaking, the two of them set off on the road to the stables.

There are hundreds of tents, separated by a distance of about half a foot.

This section of the road took a while.

After passing through the last row of tents, Liu Chan finally saw the stables he had been thinking about.

He looked around and saw that the stable was not big, and there were only a few hundred horses in the stable.

"Second Uncle Guan, are all the horses in our military camp here?"

In his opinion, a military camp of 5,000 men and only a few hundred horses was too few.

Without waiting for Guan Yu to answer, he saw a soldier leading a red rabbit horse into the stable from another road.

Then he began to murmur in his heart: "It seems that these are the only horses left!"

Guan Yu frowned slightly and said, "Aren't these enough?"

He is different from Liu Chan. Liu Chan just watched some ancient TV dramas, and in the TV dramas, people often drive millions and ride hundreds of thousands.

Liu Chan didn't know that there was a huge difference between the TV series and reality.

In this era, although cavalry has been popularized, infantry is still the main force.

The reason is not that the advantages of cavalry over infantry are not obvious enough, but because cavalry has too high requirements for horse soldiers.

Often a cavalryman needs three horses, but the scarcity of horses is simply a catastrophic problem for them in Jingzhou.

Therefore, if there are 500 war horses in a military camp of 5,000 people, the conditions are already very favorable.

What's more, their military camp had just been built with refugees.

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more and walked quickly towards the stable because he already understood what Guan Yu meant.

When Guan Yu saw Liu Chan's appearance, he sighed slightly and followed him.

I saw Liu Chan entering the stable without looking at the horse, and went straight to Sun Li.

"I pay my respects to the young master, General Guan."

Sun Li, who was feeding the horses, saw Liu Chan and Guan Yu approaching, and quickly put down the fodder in his hands and saluted them.

"No need to be so polite. What are you doing?"

Liu Chan looked at the hay in Sun Li's hand and couldn't help but show curiosity on his face.

Sun Li said seriously: "Back to you, young master, I just walked these horses and gave them some food."

Although Liu Chan didn't know exactly how to raise a horse, he could figure out that in order to raise a good horse, he had to go out for a walk from time to time.

Although there are only a few hundred horses in this stable, if you want to walk the horses, you can only walk them in batches.

After walking the horse, it is natural to replenish some of the energy that has been consumed.

Liu Chan figured out these principles in his mind after hearing what Sun Li said.

He asked again: "How many people are in charge of the horses in this stable?"

He looked around, but couldn't see many people, so he asked curiously.

Sun Lidao: "There are about fifteen people."

He didn't count it carefully, he just gave a number from memory in his mind.

Liu Chan then asked: "How many horses are there in the stable?"

Sun Li immediately said: "Four hundred and twelve horses."

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny and thought: "This man is a little strange. He can't remember the number of people, but he remembers the number of horses so clearly."

How did he know that one thing Sun Li had to do every day was to count the horses.

He smiled and asked: "Do you have an idea about the horse farm I told you before?"

Sun Lidao: "Young master, you don't know something. In addition to these four hundred horses, there are dozens of horses purchased from various places. And my brothers and I have built a horse farm not far away to collect these dozens of horses."

The horses are left alone there."

When Liu Chan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and thought: "I didn't expect their movements to be quite fast. I just don't know what the effect will be now!"

He quickly said: "Can you take us to see it?"

Sun Li smiled and said: "Of course. Young Master, General Guan, please come with me."

After saying that, he put down the hay in his hand and walked towards the door of the stable, with Liu Chan and Guan Yu following closely behind.

Guan Yu was actually not very interested in Sun Li's horse farm. He had already been there several times.

But the reason why he followed him this time was because he had some interest in Liu Chan.

I was wondering if Liu Chan would give him some surprises again.

Under the leadership of Sun Li, they walked out of the military camp, crossed a small river, and then came to an open area.

Jingzhou has the Yangtze River flowing through it, and there are countless lakes, with branch rivers scattered everywhere.

The river next to the racecourse is a small tributary of the Yangtze River.

The ultimate goal of raising horses is to be able to live among water and grass, and to be able to obtain supplies at any time.

"Young Master, this is it."

Sun Li pointed to a very open area. Although it was far away, they could still see a horse farm that was almost as big as the military camp.

On top of the racecourse, there are also acres of hay sheds built.

I guess it was a stable to protect the horses from wind and rain.

However, Liu Chan did not see the galloping horses, nor did he hear the neighing of the horses.
