Chapter 308
Mobei, Yulin City!

In the afternoon of that day, Yu Chihuan was inspecting the restoration of Yulin City, and the family general suddenly notified Chai Shao, the head of the East Road Army, that he had returned triumphantly!
Yu Chihuan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took Cheng Chumo and Liu Rengui out of the city to meet Chai Shao.

When Yuchihuan and his party walked to the gate of Yulin City, Chai Shao happened to be inspecting the fortifications on the wall of Wengcheng.

Chai Shao was very satisfied with the quality of the Wengcheng. If Datang had such a grand pass sitting outside the pass, the Turkic territory just conquered would be solid.

In the future, those nomadic tribes of the Turks want to occupy Yulin City, which is wishful thinking.

Because of such an urn city, the cavalry of the nomadic tribe couldn't take it down at all.

Even if Chai Shao himself led the army to attack such a Wengcheng, he would have no idea!

When Chai Shao was looking at the gate of Wengcheng, he just saw Yuchi Huan coming out of it, and he laughed heartily and said, "Little Governor Yuchi, the old man is on it!"

"Chai Shao, you just came back triumphantly, why did you go to the top of the Wengcheng?"

When Yu Chihuan raised his head and saw Chai Shao's dusty appearance, he was immediately filled with emotion.

Chai Shao is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and he could have been laid flat, but he still fought in the north and south to help the Tang Dynasty expand its territory!
This also spurred Yu Chihuan not to be lazy.

"The old man was attracted by this urn city, so I came up to have a look!"

After Chai Shao finished speaking, he ran down the stone ladder from behind.

Within ten breaths, Chai Shao hurriedly walked up to Yuchihuan.

Yuchi Huan stared at Chai Shao and asked, "I heard that Tuli Khan was captured by you. Where is he now?"

Chai Shao pointed to the Tang army base camp outside the city and said, "Tuli Khan is now being guarded by the old man's personal soldiers!"

"Your Majesty has recently activated the Chief of the Zhishi Department, Zhishi Sili, and this Tuli Khan will probably be dismissed as well. Don't abuse him!"

Yu Chihuan reminded Chai Shao, because the Tuli Khan in history also surrendered to Datang and worked for Datang.

Li Er is a very enlightened emperor, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, even if you are the enemy's general, if you have the ability, you will use it again.

Among so many civil servants and military generals who followed Li Er to launch the Xuanwumen Incident in history, only Hou Junji was punished for treason, and everyone else can die well!

Chai Shao nodded and said yes: "Young Governor Yuchi, please rest assured, I have not abused Tuli Khan!"

Yuchihuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Chai Shao, I invented some cement recently, come and have a look!"

"This old man has exactly this intention!" Chai Shao was overjoyed, and said, "Little Dudu Yuchi hurry up and lead the way!"

Yuchihuan politely invited Chai Shao to go to the cement workshop together.

Along the way, Yu Chihuan also introduced the use of cement to Chai Shao.

When Chai Shao learned that the Urn City in front of him was actually made of concrete and steel bars, he was stunned.

"If such an urn was built by craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, it would take at least a year to complete!"

Chai Shao said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, the old man left Yulin City for less than half a month, and you repaired the Urn City!"

Yu Chihuan pointed to the concrete road leading from Yulin City to the Yellow River Ferry: "Chai Shao, this road is also built with cement slurry, what do you think?"

Chai Shao stepped on the concrete road on the ground, and said pleasantly: "Little Governor Yuchi, this cement road is harder than the rammed earth road, and it probably won't be muddy when it rains!"

Yu Chihuan explained: "This concrete road only needs some gravel and silt. When building the downhill section, some steel bars are needed. Roads on flat ground don't need steel bars!"

Chai Shao nodded in satisfaction and said, "It would be great if two rutted horse-drawn carriages were built in the middle of the road!"

Yu Chihuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Chai Shao, this cement road doesn't need ruts, otherwise it will affect the carriage!"

Chai Shao thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Little Governor Yuchi is right, the cement road will not be potholed, and indeed there is no need for ruts to assist the carriage!"

"Chai Shao, I am going to build a cement road from Yulin City to Zhongzhou, so that we can strengthen the connection between the two places!"

Yu Chihuan boldly expressed his thoughts.

Chai Shao frowned and said, "Little Governor Yuchi, horses and horseshoes can't even march on ordinary bluestone roads. Is this cement road okay?"

Yu Chihuan glanced at Chai Shao's soldiers behind him, and found that their horses and horseshoes did have signs of injury. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of horseshoes!

In fact, the horseshoe was invented at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but it was not taken seriously.

Now Yuchihuan decided to equip the Tang cavalry with horseshoes!
In this way, the Tang cavalry can gallop on the concrete road.

"Chai Shao, I have something that can help the horse run on the concrete road!"

After Yu Chihuan finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper to design the horseshoe.

After a while, a lifelike horseshoe was drawn on the rice paper by Yuchi Huan.

Chai Shao asked curiously; "Little Governor Yuchi, what is this?"

"Chai Shao, this is called a horseshoe, also called a horseshoe. If a horseshoe is put on a war horse, it will not be afraid of cement roads and bluestone roads!"

Yuchihuan explained to Chai Shao without any concealment.

Chai Shao rejoiced and said, "Young Commander Yuchi, in this way, we Tang cavalry can also march on the mountain road in a hurry?"

"There must be no problem!"

Yu Chihuan said confidently: "With horseshoes on the horses, you won't be afraid of any hard road!"

"Little Governor Yuchi, let's make horseshoes now!"

After Chai Shao finished speaking, he took Yuchihuan to find the blacksmith in Yulin City.

Yu Chihuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Chai Shao, next to the cement workshop is the iron workshop, there are skilled blacksmiths there, there is no need to find a blacksmith to make horseshoes!"

"The old man listens to everything from you today!"

After Chai Shao finished speaking, he followed Yuchihuan to the iron-making workshop.

After a while, Yuchihuan and Chai Shao arrived at the iron-making workshop.

Now the iron workshop is making rebar in batches!
These rebars are also very unfamiliar to Chai Shao.

"Little Governor Yuchi, why are there so many holes in the steel?"

Chai Shao picked up a piece of rebar and asked Yuchi Huan curiously.

Yuchihuan pointed to the threads inside the rebar, and said, "Chai Shao, this is called rebar. These threads can strengthen the grip between the steel and the cement, so that the built building will not collapse easily!"

Chai Shao pointed to the tall and majestic Urn City behind him and suddenly realized: "It seems that this Urn City is also built with rebar!"

"That's right, this urn city is indeed built with rebar!"

Yu Chihuan readily admitted this matter.

Next, Chai Shao continued to observe the craftsmen in the iron-making workshop piercing the steel rings, which were used to drive piles to strengthen the foundation of the urn city.

At present, only one urn city has been built in Yulin City, and three more urn cities need to be built!
By then Yulin City will be protected by four urn cities, and no one will be able to defeat such a strong city.

Yuchihuan found several familiar blacksmiths and ordered them to make horseshoes according to his own design.

In less than half an hour, the four horseshoes made of hundreds of steel smelting were completed.

Yuchi Huan then ordered his general to bring in a war horse and nailed four horseshoes to the horse's hooves himself.

The four horseshoes of the war horse are nailed with horseshoes, as if wearing four iron leather shoes, which looks very funny.
