Three Kingdoms: The eldest son of the Yuan family, he grabs Zhen Ji at the beginning and becomes ind

Stirrups are one of the most important pieces of equipment for the cavalry unit. After the emergence of this thing, cavalry truly became the most powerful cold weapon unit.

However, this object did not appear until the Western Jin Dynasty, and the earliest one was a one-sided stirrup.

In other words, there were no stirrups in this era.

Before the emergence of stirrups, the selection and training of cavalry were extremely strict, and their speed, strength, and riding shooting were far inferior to those after the emergence of stirrups. This is because riders without stirrups spend most of their energy clamping the horse's belly to maintain balance in order to resist high speeds and bumpy terrain.

However, no matter how hard you train, it is not as good as a pair of stirrups. After all, human endurance is limited.

After Zhao Yun finished handling the matters at hand, he rushed over to persuade Yuan Tan to give up his plan to pursue the Huns. In his opinion, this is tantamount to committing suicide and will throw away the hard-won results.

"Where is the eldest son?"

"The eldest son is at the blacksmith shop."

"Ding ding ding dong."

"Zilong is here." Yuan Tan greeted enthusiastically.

Zhao Yun saw this heroic man who had turned everything upside down and defied everyone's predictions, forging shirtless.

At this time, Chen Lin rushed over and said, "Master, why are you striking? Stop striking. This is great news!"

Yuan Tan temporarily put down his work and wiped his sweat, "What's the good news?"

Chen Lin was so excited that she almost danced, "Master Liu Yu was overjoyed to learn that the Xiongnu were repelled by you. He has already rushed eight hundred miles to go to the palace in person to express his merits."

"I believe that at this time tomorrow, the memorial will appear in the court."

"He recommended you to be the prefect of Shanggu County. Uncle Liu also said that even if Dong Zhuo, the traitor in the country, does not agree, he will appoint you as the prefect of Shanggu County in his capacity as the governor. From now on, you will have the final say in Shanggu County."

The foundation is here!

Only they themselves know the hardships involved.

Zhao Yun was overjoyed and took advantage of his happiness to persuade him: "My eldest son, your foundation has been established. You don't have to look at anyone's face anymore. You must not enter the grassland now. Peace of mind and expansion of the army are the top priority!"

"Yes, yes." Chen Lin was even more sincere, and even said words that pierced her heart, "You have managed to accumulate two thousand cavalry. Compared with the grassland, the number is still too small. There is no doubt that you will be defeated here. Please also ask consider carefully!"

In order to completely dispel Yuan Tan's thoughts, Zhao Yun described it seriously, "My lord, entering the grassland is not as simple as you think. The grassland people are all people on horseback. Their riding skills are steady and fast. It is endless as far as the eye can see. If we go roundabout on the prairie, our troops will not be able to reach their homes, but they will be shot to death by cavalry."

Yuan Tan heard that he was going to be a prefect, and Yuan Shao was also a prefect. I felt so happy in my heart that I reported to my wife in the evening to see if I could add an extra hour.

It's white and long, and it goes up the jade feet. It's so beautiful!

As for everyone's persuasion, he did not refute.

However, other people's understanding of the world's situation is not as profound as Yuan Tan's.

Can we settle down and live in one county?

impossible.

As the princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, staying in Shanggu County is tantamount to waiting for death. Only by going out and fighting can there be a future.

Moreover, Yuan Tan has now become a thorn in the side of the Huns. If he does not take the opportunity to completely defeat him, the Huns will definitely invade again. Not to mention restraining your energy, if your home is stolen by the Huns when you go south in the future, the consequences will be disastrous.

After hearing his analysis, Zhao Yun and the others fell silent.

Zhao Yun: "My lord, what you say makes sense, but while we have two thousand troops, the Huns still have at least [-] to [-] elite combat cavalry. Such a gap cannot be won on the grassland terrain. We still need to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity." "

Yuan Tan shook his head, "The world will soon be in complete chaos, and I don't have time to wait. Moreover, the Huns have a chance to breathe, and they are not slow to accumulate strength. This will become a protracted war, a war of attrition." "

"In addition, as Zilong said, the grassland terrain is open. Although we have few soldiers, we can take advantage of our cavalry, archery and speed to defeat the Huns in a roundabout way."

Zhao Yun and the others were stunned, thinking to themselves, my eldest son, are you doing the opposite? Cavalry shooting and speed are the enemy's advantages, not ours.

While Yuan Tan was communicating, he didn't stop. He took out the red-hot stirrup and continued to beat it. His technique improved a lot in an instant.

It’s true that people feel refreshed during happy events!

Just when Zhao Yun and the others were getting impatient, they finally finished building it and put it into water to cool down.

"Bah!"

When the heat was rising, Yuan Tan took it out and said happily: "Zilong, what do you think of this thing?"

"What is this? It looks so familiar." Monk Zhao Yunzhang was confused. With his status as an eldest son, forging iron here, could there be something in it that he couldn't see through? He couldn't help but look at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin is a literary giant and is well-informed, especially about such decorations. "My eldest son, do you plan to raise birds?"

Zhao Yun suddenly realized that he was just a bird, no wonder he looked so familiar. This shelf can only fit one foot of a person, and it looks like the bird it holds is a small thrush, or a canary?

You say that raising birds is a fool's errand for three years, but fishing will ruin your life!

Just after winning, I started to play with things to get bored!

Only then did Zhao Yun realize that there was nothing he couldn't see through, but that he was overthinking.

It is inevitable to become addicted after a victory, and the eldest son is no exception.

"My lord, please listen to what I have to say..." Zhao Yun is an upright man and is full of expectations for Yuan Tan's future. How can he just sit back and ignore it and speak very loudly.

"No need to say more Zilong, let's go to the cavalry training camp to try this thing." Yuan Tan said with joy.

What! And go to training camp! Walking around and having fun in front of those hard-trained soldiers?

As a result, wouldn't morale plummet directly?

Zhao Yun had a bitter look on his face and originally planned to dissuade him, but he wanted to see what kind of medicine Yuan Tan was selling in his gourd, so he didn't say anything in the end.

a while.

In the training camp, the soldiers are training hard, especially Yuan Tan's guards.

Yuan Tan came to a war horse and said to the guard: "Which of you has the worst riding skills?"

After a few seconds, the guards could not resist the pressure and looked at one person one after another.

The man's face changed greatly, and he thought to himself, you bastards, why are you betraying your comrades? Can't you all remain silent?

Shame.

The man knelt down and said, "My lord, Er Gouzi realized that he was wrong, so he took the initiative to receive the punishment with the military stick. He will practice his riding skills more diligently in the future. My lord, although Er Gouzi's riding skills are a bit poor, he still has a lot of skills." They can't compare to me in other conveniences. I...I am a qualified bodyguard!"

Yuan Tan knew that they had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Er Gouzi, I also know you. You have ten levels of military exploits this time. You have lived up to your ancestral hunting skills. Come on, come on, Master, I will improve today." Because of your riding skills, I even promoted you to personal bodyguard.”

Ergouzi was overjoyed and kowtowed: "I am willing to die for the eldest son." When he stood up, he couldn't help but look at his companions with pride.

The guards all felt regretful. It turned out that it was not a punishment but a good thing. If they had known that they would sharpen their heads, they would have done it themselves.

Being able to receive personal instruction from the eldest son is a good thing that cannot be found with a lantern.

Subsequently.

Yuan Tan put down the saddle and hung up the stirrups. This saddle was also improved to match the stirrups.

Ergouzi said uneasily: "Master, please ask your subordinates for advice."

Yuan Tan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, just get on the horse and put your feet in the stirrups."

Everyone: "???"

It turns out that this is not a bird stand, but a stirrup.

But what are stirrups?
