my brother champion

Chapter 168 Harness Dahei!Attack, go north to attack Hungary
"Hurry up, press and hold!" Huo Guang shouted, pointing at Lin Yaoqing.

It has been dragging before, without saddles, horseshoes and other harnesses for Dahei.

Now I am forced to do nothing.

I had to take it to the horseshoe maker and harness it.

But this big black has a strong temper, and he can't hold it back without bringing a few people along!
Lin Yaoqing listened to Huo Guang's words, stepped forward and held down Dahei together with the others.

At this moment!
He said with a little difficulty: "Huo Dubo, didn't you say that you were afraid of hurting it by pressing it forcibly, why, let us hold down this big black horse again today?"

Huo Guang was pressing his front hooves, and after hearing the words, he did not forget to explain: "There is no way, who made my uncle get kicked now, and those old generals are in charge of Nan Daying. With the strict discipline of General Cheng, If you don't press the horseshoe on Dahei today, I will definitely treat it as a dirty horse and take it away."

Here two people are talking.

The craftsman who was in charge of installing the horseshoes 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 the horseshoe on it by myself."

The craftsman who installs the horseshoe can basically be installed by one person.

The process is generally to clamp the horse's hoof with both legs, let the horse's hoof lift back, and then nail it into the cuticle with iron nails.

of course.

There is also the process of putting the red-hot horseshoe on the horseshoe, etc., because it is cumbersome, so I won’t talk about it.

Huo Guang looked at the confident craftsman at this moment, and did not choose to walk away, but warned: "Before, there was a master Liu here, you know?"

Hearing this, the craftsman nodded and said, "I know, he took me with me for two days, but something happened, so I went home to take care of it."

When Huo Guang heard that Master Liu went home to take care of him, he couldn't help but feel more guilt on his face.

Then he sighed and said, "Master Liu had the same thoughts as you at the beginning, but he was kicked by this big black bastard like me."

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

"If you are like this, if you have to touch a hoof, I'm afraid it will be choking!"

Enough!

It refers to being hit by a big black horse, whether it can survive is the key issue.

Hearing this, the master craftsman immediately said: "You are bluffing me, why didn't I hear Master Liu say that it was because of this that I went home to raise it?"

For this question!

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

Because Master Liu loves face.

If the person who installs the horseshoe is kicked by the horse, he will be ridiculed by his peers.

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

It's like hunting eagles all day long, only to be blinded by the eagles.

Isn't this a disgrace to the industry?

Huo Guang didn't want to ridicule a craftsman, so he said lightly: "It's different, other horses are gentle, of course you can do it alone. My horse has a strong temper, and I can't do it alone!"

"master."

"Just try it like this!"

Hearing this, the craftsman had no choice but to nod and said, "All right, then I'll try this first!"

talking.

He grinded the red-hot horseshoe against the black horse's hoof, thick smoke billowed up.Although only the horny layer of the horseshoe was burned, Dahei was still terrified.

Huo Guang was almost thrown out several times.

At this moment.

Because of Dahei's violent movements, it was difficult for the master craftsman who installed the horseshoe to put iron nails on Dahei.

and this.

It also caused the craftsman's temper to explode.

"Hey, it's okay, there are such fierce horses, it's all your fault. I can do it alone, don't do it!"

In words!
The craftsmen expressed disbelief in Huo Guang's words, and at the same time, knocked off the hand of the horse's hoof that Huo Guang was supporting.

"Eh, don't"

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

Why don't you believe me when you try to persuade me?
at this time!

The master craftsman picked up the horseshoe and was about to use the strength of his legs to clamp the horseshoe.Dahei kicked suddenly, 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 to the soldiers beside him: "You people, don't stand still, go, carry him in to rest."

"promise."

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

At this time.

Huo Guang had no choice but to hold the horseshoe himself and began to install it on Dahei.

The red-hot horseshoe was placed on the cuticle of the horseshoe, and soon a puff of white smoke rose.Then, he rubbed it with a utility knife again, and when it was almost smooth, Huo Guang began to put a horseshoe on Dahei.

Nails under the blow of a hammer.

directly penetrates that stratum corneum.

The cuticle of a horseshoe is like a human nail, it doesn't hurt to cut it off, let alone nail it with a few nails.

Although Huo Guang was not very skilled in the business of putting on horseshoes, the process was not difficult.

soon.

All four horseshoes were shoed.

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

"promise."

Lin Yaoqing and others took the lead in releasing Dahei.

at first.

Dahei, who had just let go and gained freedom, suddenly raised his front hooves agitatedly, and let out a neigh.

Like a tiger out of its cage, roaring its dissatisfaction and venting its anger.

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

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

Everyone held down Dahei just now, and felt wronged by this guy.

Definitely need to vent now.

Seeing that Huo Guang, the owner of the big black horse, didn't care about this issue, Lin Yaoqing naturally didn't care about it, but asked curiously: "Uncle Huo, since you want to keep the big black horse, what about the current mount?"

Huo Guang's current mount.

It is a docile bay red horse.

Although gentle in character, he is also a good horse.

its lineage.

It may be a mixed breed of Dawan horse from the countries of the Western Regions. The main feature of Dawan horse is that the horse is relatively tall, and the whole body is covered with maroon fur.

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

this point.

It’s not just bragging. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw that Dawan was a small country, but the horses were so good.

Immediately moved my mind.

So he sent troops to destroy the Dawan Kingdom, and took Dawan as his own.

But these are for the future.

It's too early to tell.

Seeing Lin Yaoqing's question, Huo Guang said, "Hand it in, what else can I do? The barracks are now managed by those older generals. It is stipulated that each person can only have one horse, and I have no choice."

After the big black horse finished its fun, Huo Guang took it to install Gaoqiao saddle and stirrups.

These two things are very simple, unlike horseshoes, which have to be grinded and nailed and other troublesome things, so they can be done quickly.

It didn't take too long after that!
The three-piece suit of the big black horse is installed.

"Okay, Deputy Dubo Lin, take these subordinates who came with you, and take a day off. Count it as my vacation for you!"

There is no place to eat inside or outside the Nan Daying Camp. Huo Guang can only take two days off to thank the few people for their help.

If it is in Chang'an City.

Huo Guang invited them to have a happy meal here.

Seeing that the three-piece cavalry suit had been installed on the big black horse, Huo Guang couldn't wait to get on the horse and rode around the school field for a few laps.

Because of the horseshoe.

When Dahei walks, he will make a crisp sound of "嘎".

This is completely different from the feeling of riding Dahei before, but in the barracks, Huo Guang almost threw up every day riding a horse.So after riding a few laps, I got off the horse and didn't try any more.

a few days later.

When Huo Guang was about to ride it and train his hundreds of cavalrymen.

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

Huo Guang checked Dahei's front hoof very worriedly, thinking that the nails on the horseshoe were driven too deep and pierced the flesh.

But an inspection found that this is not the reason.

The nails on the horseshoe protrude from the outside, and they will never poke the meat.

Then how could this big black horse limp on one foot?Huo Guang couldn't figure it out. After the training, Huo Guang had to ask Lin Yaoqing to lead his men to carry out the training. His original maroon horse had already been taken away.

Now Dahei is injured.

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

You can keep it.

One day, he felt something was wrong.

He found that when he was far away, when Dahei was playing with other horses, it was normal.As he approached, he limped.

and.

Under a surprise inspection by myself.

This guy immediately changed from a normal look to a lame look.Unfortunately, this guy lifted the wrong foot.

I usually cripple my left leg, but this time I actually crippled my right leg.

"Good guy, still pretend, you're still smart!" Huo Guang immediately stepped forward and scolded.

pity.

Dahei couldn't understand human words, so he continued to pretend to be lame. Angrily, Huo Guang kicked his left foot, and said, "Isn't the left leg lame? How can I pretend to be the right foot today? Oh, let's say the left foot is fine, and the right foot is fine." injured!"

Huo Guang's tone was very unpleasant.

Dahei can't understand human words, but all animals have a characteristic, they can feel the owner's current mood from the tone of their voices.

In addition, Huo Guang kicked its left foot.

This guy immediately understood that he was revealing his secrets, and Dang even stopped pretending, and rubbed against Huo Guang with an embarrassed look.

"Who did you learn from, and you know how to please the master!" Huo Guang couldn't help snorting, Dang even didn't feel sorry for Dahei any more, and rode directly on it to train the cavalry.

and this.

Also just a small episode.

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

this day.

As usual, Huo Guang rode a big black and led the soldiers to prepare for the exercise.

Suddenly the messenger came to him and said: "Uncle Huo Du, the general has an order for you to follow the messenger back to Chang'an."

General?
At this time, the general of the Han Dynasty was not only Wei Qing!

Besides, who else?
Huo Guang was puzzled, but he didn't ask the messenger, he just nodded and said, "Where is the messenger?"

"Outside the gate of the barracks, Huo Dubo can leave the barracks with this token." Then, the messenger gave Huo Guang an iron plate with the word "Ling" engraved on it.

This iron plate has little effect.

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

Holding the iron plate, Huo Guang saw the envoy after leaving the barracks.

The emissary was a stranger, and Huo Guang didn't know him.

However, Huo Guang didn't care. After following him back to Chang'an, he was taken into a huge blacksmith's shop closely guarded by Yiyu Linjun.

it's here.

Not only did he meet Wei Qing, who had been dismissed as the head coach of the South Day Camp, but he also met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che.

"Sir Huo Guang, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Huo Guang saluted immediately.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che quickly pulled him up, and said directly, "Look, according to what you said, I gathered excellent blacksmiths from all over the country to build these flying thunders. Do you think it is feasible?"

Just came in in a hurry.

Huo Guang didn't even pay attention to it, but when he saw it now, he was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, the size of these pipes is enough, and the thickness seems to be okay, but the inner wall is too rough. I suggest that you make the inner wall smoother. !"

"smooth?"

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

See this situation.

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

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

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

Is not it?

Huo Guang frowned, and stammered, "How dare this minister guess what His Majesty is thinking!"

After hearing this, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, burst out laughing, and said, "I'm afraid you must have guessed my thoughts behind your back, hmph!"

"All right."

"Tell you, I transferred Wei Qing to leave because I noticed that some internal thieves had disclosed the news to the Huns in Mobei."

"The coach was demoted, which means that the Huns thought we were not going to attack them in the near future."

"It's not true."

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

Attack Mobei?

Huo Guang was startled and asked: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to attack at this time? Although the cold winter has passed and everything is beginning to recover, the land in Mobei is cold!"

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

"What more?"

"After a bitter winter, their war horses are now in a weak period. At this time, it is perfect to attack them."

"how?"

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

Huo Guang was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Have you ever said this yourself?
When did you say that?

I don't have much impression of myself, I don't remember saying this!

"Ahem, Your Majesty, it is indeed a good opportunity to attack now. However, maybe I didn't think carefully at that time. This time to attack, the weather is cold, and the land of Mobei is no better than the Central Plains. The warmth of the soldiers is also a problem!" Huo Guang seriously analyzed.

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

"Since the Yantie official camp two years ago, I ordered the officials under the Da Nong Order to start collecting animal skins to make animal skin jackets. At the same time, a lot of jackets stuffed with animal hair were also made."

"In terms of quantity!"

"It is enough to support the soldiers to attack Mobei."

To be honest.

Huo Guang did not expect that Emperor Wu of the Han would listen to his unintentional words.Especially the idea of ​​attacking the Huns' cattle, sheep and horses while they were pregnant and raising babies was actually adopted.

I can't believe it!

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

But this is ancient.

This is the era of drinking blood, the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated.

When a tiger preys, can you say it is vicious?
Can't!
It's also just about staying alive.

If the Han Dynasty did not expel the Huns, they would be expelled by the Huns. The Wenjing period is the best example.

Huo Guang understood this truth, and immediately stopped thinking about it, and said: "Since His Majesty has made up his mind, it is better to let the army set out immediately and go north to attack the Huns!"
