73. It's that simple

The governor of Ganzhou, Gongsun Wuda, was working in the office. At this time, his subordinates moved in some items and reported that a man named Luo Dasui asked for a meeting.

"Luo Dasui?" Gongsun Wuda was stunned.

I never heard of this name in my mind.

"What are these?" he asked, pointing to the objects on the ground.

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

Gongsun Wuda walked down and studied it and found that it was just a plow, and the other curved iron pieces were useless.

"Take him in."

"Here!"

Soon, Luo Taisui, whose pseudonym was Luo Dasui, walked in.

He felt that he would change his name slightly, and the government would not be able to find someone in the future.

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

"General Gongsun!" Luo Taisui greeted him.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Wuda asked.

"I was a member of the tour, and I accidentally got some practical small objects and came to offer them to the general." Luo Taisui replied calmly.

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

Luo Taisui smiled and said, "Whether good or bad, the general ordered someone to try it out."

When Gongsun Wuda saw Luo Taisui's fearless attitude, he called someone to take out the bent plow and try to plow.

Luo Taisui also took care of a few words of how to use it.

"Then these iron pieces..." Gongsun Wuda looked at Luo Taisui with a questioning look.

Luo Taisui replied: "This object is called a horseshoe, also called a horseshoe. It can be nailed under the horseshoe to prevent the horseshoe from wearing."

"Oh?" Gongsun Wuda pondered for a moment.

He often led his troops to fight foreigners in the Gobi Desert or mountainous areas, and the horse's hooves were indeed worn seriously.

This problem that troubles every general, is a small piece of iron solved?

Is it that simple?

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

Gongsun Wuda frowned. Could it be that there is a fraud?

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

"Tip it in with a nail?" Gongsun Wuda asked again, his face gradually becoming unkind.

Could this kid be the gap between the enemy sending to harm our army's war horses?

"It is best to use iron nails." Luo Taisui looked like he was ignorant of life and death.

"So brave!" Gongsun Wuda slapped the table and scolded: "Come on, take this gap for me!"

The guard outside the door immediately snatched in, pulled out the blade, and surrounded Luo Taisui. That posture... As long as Luo Taisui dared to resist, he would rush forward and chop it into meat sauce.

"General's Tiger Power." Luo Taisui, who was almost hit on his face by the tip of the knife, was not panicked at all, and he didn't even blink. "But if you kill me, the general will regret it for life."

Gongsun Wuda laughed: "This general killed people like grass. What qualifications do you have to make me regret it for life?"

Luo Taisui immediately retorted: "The general killed me is equivalent to cutting off the opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry. Do you really want to regret it?"

Gongsun Wuda suddenly stopped.

Luo Taisui shouted again: "The general gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without even trying. It is really amazing to have neglected his duties!"

The guards surrounding him were captured by his momentum and couldn't help but look at Gongsun Wuda and wait for his next instructions.

Gongsun Wuda frowned into the character "Sichuan", pondered for a while and nodded, "Okay, let's try to show it to me. If it doesn't work, I will definitely kill you and will not forgive me!"

After saying that, the guards retreated aside.

"Take a horse."

Luo Taisui was honest and unceremonious and made a request directly.

Gongsun Wuda signaled his subordinates to do so.

Soon, a strong horse was led outside the door.

Luo Taisui asked for a few more tools, and then asked someone to pull the horse, but he lifted up a front hoof and put it under his armpit and looked carefully.

Due to lack of protection, there are many damage to the horse's hooves.

Luo Taisui shoveled the uneven place, then placed the horseshoe in place, took a nail, and nailed it in obliquely.

He had visually measured the thickness of the horse's hoof cuticle, so the nails went deeper to a certain extent and fixed the excess.

Soon, he fixed the horseshoe with eight nails.

The horse was well-trained and had no abnormal movements throughout the whole process.

After Luo Taisui nailed all four horseshoes, Gongsun Wuda unknowingly squatted down with him and looked at him without hesitation.

"It's that simple?"

Seeing that the horse did not react at all in pain, he actually believed it.

"Why not give it a try?"

Luo Taisui did not explain, so he let the facts prove it.

Gongsun Wuda slid his stirrups and started running.

The horse's four hooves flew, clattering and clattering, but the horse's hooves were tightly attached to it, and there was no sign of falling off.

"It seems to be more powerful when running!"

As a result of his career, the horse's condition changed slightly, and he immediately noticed it.

"General, please know that what I say is not false." Luo Taisui stood in his original place and said leisurely.

"How many offensive!"

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

"I didn't expect that a small piece of iron would solve the big problem that has troubled us for a long time. It really opened my eyes to Gongsun."

He laughed and his attitude changed by 180 degrees compared to before.

Luo Taisui was neither arrogant nor impatient, and said calmly: "Compared with a powerful Ganzhou with equal importance to both army, farmers, industry and business, this is just some gadgets I prepared to meet General Gongsun."

"Oh? A powerful Ganzhou with equal importance to military, farmers, industry and business?" Gongsun Wuda noticed the strong message released from his words and said with great interest: "I hope to hear it carefully."

Luo Taisui was prepared and said, "Ganzhou, and even the entire Hexi, are located in the north, in the west, in the west, in the south, in the Turks, in the south, in the Tubo and Tuyuhun. The barbarians rely on their horsepower to think it is strong, so our Tang Dynasty's key to the army is full of horsepower."

Gongsun Wuda nodded slowly.

It has certain advantages in cavalry with these powerful nomadic peoples or semi-nomadic countries. If the Tang Dynasty wants to compete with it, it naturally needs a large number of cavalry.

but……

The Tang Dynasty did not lack elite soldiers and generals, but only good horses.

"Where does the horse come from?"

Gongsun Wuda finally asked this question.

The so-called horseshoe did make him look at Luo Taisui, but it is obvious from this question whether this person has real talent and knowledge.

"Do you know about Yanzhi Mountain?" Luo Taisui asked.

"Of course I know." Gongsun Wuda had already known the nearby mountains and rivers.

This Yanzhi Mountain, also known as Didan Mountain, is located in Ganzhou.

At that time, Huo Qubing, the general of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, led tens of cavalry to go out of Longxi, crossed Yanzhi Mountain to fight with the Huns, and beheaded more than 8,000 levels!

As a general in command, I must sincerely yearn for such great achievements.

"Can the general know that the water and grass on the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain are rich and unique, and it is a natural and excellent pasture?" Luo Taisui asked again.

Gongsun Wuda was silent.

He is good at riding and training horses.

But I don’t know much about raising horses and raising horses.

Luo Taisui smiled: "I have a word, General, please listen..."
