At this moment, all the civil and military officials in Yanzhou noticed the iron stirrup and the benefits he brought to Xiahou Yuan on the horse.
incredible.
This is everyone's subconscious reaction.
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone couldn't help but wonder: Who invented such an artifact?
The materials are simple and the workmanship is simple, and it can increase the knight's combat effectiveness several times in an instant, which is terrifying.
"Lord."
Xun Yu's eyes flashed, and he thought more deeply, and immediately reminded. "Since such a magical weapon has been born in our army? Why not take advantage of the situation and form an extremely brave cavalry team. In this way, our infantry has Qingzhou soldiers, and the cavalry also has corresponding corps.
, the battle on the battlefield will definitely be unfavorable!"
Well…
Cao Cao was slightly stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. "The military advisor's words are very wonderful."
Xun Yu stroked his beard. "General Xiahou mounted his war horse, stepped on the iron stirrups, and charged back and forth as fiercely as a tiger and as fast as a leopard. How about naming this cavalry regiment the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
Phew...Hubaoqi, what a good name!
Hahaha…
Cao Cao immediately laughed out loud. "Okay, from now on I have a brave tiger and leopard cavalry in Yanzhou!"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan and the iron stirrups on his feet, and he couldn't help but ponder...
"Brother Yi is indeed a genius. He solved the Yellow Turban crisis in Yanzhou by casually speaking a sixteen-character strategy;
Four words of essay saved my father Cao Song;
Now, with just some casual blacksmithing, the biggest problem of the cavalry has been solved, and a cavalry legion has been forged with doubled combat effectiveness! Brother Yi, you are truly a god..."
Thoughts on this…
Cao Cao went to look for Cao Ren in the accompanying civil and military forces.
He was thinking about it, wondering whether he had done what he had told Cao Ren.
But at this time.
"Mengde, Mengde..."
From a distance, Cao Ren could be seen galloping towards him on his horse, as if he had something important to do.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted.
But I heard Cao Cao ask, "Is the matter settled?"
"It's all done. He is the best craftsman." Cao Ren replied.
Hearing this, Cao Cao grinned and laughed.
It seems that he is in a particularly good mood, even happier than forming the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"Go and invite the old man." Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be quite eager, and he ordered repeatedly... "Let's set off now..."
Well…
The words came out of his mouth.
Everyone was a little confused. They were still praising the iron stirrups and threatening to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. How could they set off with Cao Ren next?
etc?
The best craftsman?
Pick up the old man? Set off?
What's going on?
Why can’t everyone still understand...
Cao Cao didn't care about them and just ordered Xiahou Dun to select elite soldiers to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He and Cao Ren quickly drove out of the school grounds, seemingly heading towards the gate of Chenliu County.
Cao Cao is in such a hurry? Who is he going to see?
For a moment, everyone was even more surprised?
What kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?
…
…
On the road from Chenliu County to Suanzao County.
Several carriages are galloping, and dozens of knights are carefully escorting the carriages. It seems that the person escorting this trip is quite important.
In the first carriage, Cao Cao repeatedly warned...
"Father, this Brother Yi is aloof and carefree, and does not care about fame and fortune. If he knew that I was Cao Cao, I am afraid that we will never be able to chat as much as before. That's it. I deliberately concealed my identity. It's okay for Dad to know.
, please don’t let me know.”
Hearing this, Cao Song nodded. After thirty years of official life, he had already known what to say and what not to say.
The purpose of coming here this time is to kowtow and thank Yi Xiaotian for his life-saving grace.
As for the other things, Cao Song knew it in his heart and was careful about what he said.
"Meng De, even though you have concealed your identity, you can't neglect this gentleman. It's hard to repay a life-saving favor. Our Cao family knows how to repay kindness, and you can't treat this gentleman badly!"
Cao Song also asked...
"Father, this son knows." Cao Cao nodded...
The official roads in Suanzao County have been renovated and are extremely smooth.
Cao Cao and Cao Song chatted for a while, and several carriages had already arrived outside a wine shop...
Boom boom boom…
You can still hear the sound of forging coming from the blacksmith shop.
It seems that the forging of the iron stirrups is going on all the time.
Opening the car door, one could see Yi Xiaotian leaning against a crooked tree, strangely... sighing.
Cao Cao was startled, could someone have provoked Brother Yi?
Thoughts on this…
Cao Cao rushed away first. "Brother Yi, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Brother Hidden?" After noticing Cao Cao's arrival, Yi Xiaotian changed his long sigh and waved to him. "Long time no see, Brother Hidden looks much younger."
"Is there any?" Cao Cao looked back at himself and immediately laughed "Haha". "Brother Yi, please don't make fun of me. I look like this even if I am ten years younger, but I am still ugly. But Brother Yi, I'm afraid I won't be able to make fun of me anymore."
Even though he’s ten years older, he’s still a handsome man, right?”
Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao often make self-deprecating jokes like this. Cao Cao doesn't mind, and neither does Yi Xiaotian.
At this point, Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "Brother Yi, why are you sighing? Did you make the girl at the counter angry? You are not allowed to enter the boudoir at night?"
Cao Cao made a joke again...
"It has nothing to do with this." Yi Xiaotian waved his hand. "Brother, to tell you the truth, I have been troubled by something recently!"
"Huh? What's the matter?"
While Cao Ren and Cao Song were setting up the carriage, Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian started chatting under the crooked-neck tree.
"Look..." Yi Xiaotian pointed at the blacksmith shop. "This blacksmith shop? It really makes me happy and worried..."
"Huh? What is worry?" Cao Cao suddenly became very curious.
He could understand the joy. He had forged iron stirrups. Wasn't he overjoyed enough?
But where does the worry come from?
"Brother, don't you know, I have forged some artifacts, including iron stirrups, saddles, 'face curtains' to protect the horse's head... and 'chicken necks' to protect the horse's neck, and to protect the horse's chest.
The 'chest' and 'horse body armor' of the horse's body."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian shook his head.
"But after these gadgets were produced, I suddenly found that I couldn't sell them... Oops, now I'm struggling to find an arms dealer! Help me sell these gadgets at a high price. I'm still counting on making money from these gadgets..."
Uh...wait.
Cao Cao was startled.
What? Not only are there iron stirrups? There are also saddles? Face curtains? Chicken necks? Breasts? Horse body armor?
What are these things?
Cao Cao was a little confused for a moment. He knew all these words, but they were combined together, and he couldn't figure it out.
In fact, it’s not Cao Cao’s fault. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, including the early Han Dynasty, chariots were the mainstream on the battlefield.
In this era of development, it has only been more than a hundred years since highly mobile war horses replaced chariots.
The development time of cavalry is still very short. Derivatives of cavalry like this, or the protection of war horses, will not be born for another few hundred years.
For this reason, most of the people who conquered the world in this era were light cavalry.
However, heavy cavalry with greater lethality and the ability to influence the situation on the battlefield rarely appear.
Not to mention, Yi Xiaotian's equipment tailor-made for the heavy cavalry "iron-armored war horse"...
Cao Cao looked confused.
Yi Xiaotian led Cao Cao to the stable, ordered the man to bring a horse, and then equipped the horse with these cavalry pieces one by one.
Huo, only a few breaths of time.
What was once a frail horse suddenly turned into a fully armored war horse!
Especially on the face of the horse, there is a veil that makes people feel cold all over.
His entire body was wrapped in armor, and the coldness emanating from his scales made Cao Cao intimidated.
Not to mention its combat effectiveness, this war horse is very domineering in terms of appearance alone!
"Brother Hide, look, this is what I forged!"
Yi Xiaotian pointed at the armored war horse and introduced, "It's this armored war horse that makes me both happy and worried!"
