The days of snow finally stopped and the sky was clear for several days, spring came back to earth overnight.

Yuan Jue, the general of Huben of the Han Dynasty, was dressed in military attire, standing on top of the Daguguan Pass with his sword, looking north, only to see the bustling Luoyang City already hidden in the strong wind and dust. Under the pass, five thousand Huben converge into a frank iron flow, playing a resounding killing tone, burning Yuan Jue's chest.

A good man should be ambitious in all directions, the chaotic world is coming, the heroes are rising, it is the right time to build a career!

Yuan Shu's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a gruff voice, "Sun Jian! Is it Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, Sun Wentian?"

The junior colonel said, "That's the man."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and said, "Quickly invite ...... no, I will personally go to welcome him."

Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped down the pass and came under the barrier, only to see a banner leaping into view, embroidered with a large "Sun" character, under the banner stood a tiger general, as if the dragon paws of a tiger, powerful and extraordinary! A fiery red armor, as if tumbling burning flame, searing killing intent in the face, it is the Jiangdong fierce tiger Sun Jian Sun Wentian who had a face to face.

Behind Sun Jian, four big men lined up, each instrument is not bad, killing aura, all tigers and wolves of the generation.

"Sun Wentian is not well?"

Yuan Shu shouted, opened his arms to welcome him, his joy overflowing.

Sun Jian's gaze was awe-inspiring as he clasped his hands together and knelt down on one knee, saying resoundingly, "Jian, by order of the Left General, I have led 500 Jiangdong volunteers to come under my command to await the command."

Yuan Shu stepped forward to help Sun Jian up and said with a big smile, "With the help of Wentai and Jiangdong Huben's division, the 800 stragglers are not enough to be feared."

As he spoke, Yuan Shu gazed at the four big men behind Sun Jian and asked aloud, "Who are these men?"

Sun Jian replied, "They are Jian's men, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang."

"All of them are strong soldiers, come on, give them cloth robes and thick armor."

"Thank you, General."

Zumao four people kneeled down to pay their respects.

......

Wancheng.

The fire in the blacksmith store is burning brightly, outside the store covered with snow and ice, dripping water into ice, but inside the store is a heat wave, more than a hundred blacksmiths bare chest, full of sweat, there are drumming bellows, forging, and adding fire, everyone is busy and happy, the sound of clanking resounded through the clouds.

Ma Yue looked frosty and stood ice-cold in front of the blacksmith store.

"Zhi~~"

A blacksmith used a fire poker to dip a U-shaped iron into the water, only to hear a zipping sound, a hot gas rose in the water, and then the calm water surface tumbled up with water bubbles.

Behind Ma Yue, Pei Yuan Shao scratched his big head with a confused face and asked, "Bo Qi, you asked Lao Guan to bring in so many blacksmiths just to pound this iron lump? This thing can neither be used as a concealed weapon nor as a weapon, what is the use of it?"

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Ma Yue frowned and said coldly, "You know nothing!"

No wonder Pei Yuan Shao didn't understand, even if the most learned and knowledgeable person in this era came, I'm afraid he didn't understand the wonderful use of this iron lump, which looks insignificant, but can greatly improve the durability and weight capacity of the war horse, because - it is the horseshoe iron! Like the horse leap, it is also a sharp weapon that transcends time and space.

It was the appearance of the horseshoe and stirrup that made the cavalry a qualitative leap forward in combat power, thus transforming the cavalry from an auxiliary force on the battlefield to the main force. The appearance of horseshoes and stirrups not only contributed to the emergence of heavy cavalry, but also made it possible for cavalry to run continuously over long distances.

Although the Xiliang cavalry of the Three Kingdoms period was powerful, it could only exert its power on the local battlefield and lacked the ability to make continuous assaults, far from being comparable to the Mongolian iron cavalry that ran through the world in later times!

The head blacksmith presented the cooled four U-shaped iron lumps to Ma Yue and said respectfully, "Great chief, the horseshoe iron you want is ready."

Ma Yue waved his hand and said coldly, "Good, nail the horse's palm!"

Outside the blacksmith's store has already erected four pillars, a straggler led a war horse, four stragglers came forward to tie the horse's limbs firmly to the pillars, a strong man with a big belly grabbed forward, pooh spit in his hand, the war horse's forepaw bent over, the hands of sharp daggers used like flying, in a moment has been the horse's paws on the bottom of the corner of the flat and smooth.

The blacksmith handed over the horse's palm and well-built nails, the strong man put the horse's palm under the hoof and nailed the nails one by one.

......

Three days later, Yuan Shu's army marched into Luyang.

The county magistrate of Luyang, Jin Shang, did not dare to be slow, and went out of the city with the county officials to meet him, accompanied by the Nanyang captain Zhang Xun, who had fled here. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.

Ten miles north of Luyang City, Jin Shang, Zhang Xun and a group of large and small officials were waiting on the snow, only to see a piece of iron armor slowly drive in from the north, sharp spears erected like mountains, black iron armor rubbing like clouds, the piece of cherry red tassels seemingly endlessly flowing past them.

When Jin Shang, Zhang Xun and the others were about to be drowned by this ocean of iron armor, a banner finally appeared in front of them, embroidered with the word "Yuan", and under the banner stood a great general on horseback, wearing a purple and gold crown, with golden armor and brocade robes, with extraordinary appearance.

"Lu Yang order Jin Shang kowtow to see the general."

"The offending officer, Zhang Xun, the captain of Nanyang, kowtows to the general."

Jin Shang, Zhang Xun, and other officials of all sizes hastily knelt down and touched the ground with their heads in an extremely respectful manner.

Yuan Shu proudly riding on horseback, eyes have a sharp cold flame flickered, then his face has changed to a kind smile, turned over from the horse jumped down, hurried a few steps, went forward to help Jin Shang, but also affectionately hold Jin Shang's hands, said with a big smile: "Yuan Huo is a famous scholar in Nanyang, Jue has long been known, now get to meet, it is a blessing. "

The first time I saw him, I thought he was a famous scholar, and I thought he would be embarrassed by his superiority, but I didn't expect him to be so courteous.

Yuan Shu said, "Yuan Huo does not need to be modest, this is the first time to come to Nanyang, a hundred wastes to be raised, you are a famous scholar in Nanyang, the door is many old friends, has a virtuous name, in the future need to be more to promote."

Jin Shang only felt that a cavity of blood in his chest could not stop surging, and said excitedly at that time: "I would like to serve as a dog and horse!"

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "I have Yuan Huo's help, and I can pacify Nanyang in a matter of days."

The next Zhang Xun saw that Yuan Shu valued Jin Shang so much, his heart was both jealous and envious, seeing Jin Shang's face flushed and retreated behind Yuan Shu, he had to stiffen his head, kneeled and grabbed two steps forward, froze and squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes, sobbing, "The offender Zhang Xun, who failed to guard the land, begged the general to punish him."

Yuan Shu pretended to find Zhang Xun at this time, immediately grabbed two steps forward to help Zhang Xun, said with astonishment: "This is not the famous general Zhang Xun Zhang Yimou in Hanoi?"

(PS: Checked the information all morning, did not find Zhang Xun's table word, place of origin, who can help find, the swordsman is grateful.)

Zhang Xun thought of millions of possibilities, but never thought that Yuan Jie would do this to him, then he choked up and looked at Yuan Jie in a daze, not knowing what to say. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

Zhang Xun was at a loss for words and said naively, "This ......"

The first time I saw Zhang Xun, I saw that his robe and armor were tattered and he was in a mess, so he took off his own robe and put it on Zhang Xun himself.
