Ha ha ha ha! good! OK! "
In the Chengqing Hall, Li Shimin's heroic laughter came out.
Li Shimin was seen still wearing the royal robe, pacing back and forth in the hall, and even handed Li Jing's autographed letter in his hand.
When Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and several Li Shimin's concubines read Li Jing's autographed letters one by one, they all showed surprise on their faces.
Du Ruhui even blushed, couldn't help coughing a few times, and then said in wonder.
"Ahem! Ahem! Hiss, five thousand fast horses, the number of those killed in the battle across the Yellow River, plus the losses, was less than a hundred! Your Majesty, God bless the might of our Tang Dynasty army!"
As the Minister of the Ministry of War last year, Du Ruhui was not just a Confucian minister holding a sage's book and talking about it in vain.
He was also the character who followed Li Shimin to the battlefield with a knife and was a powerful figure many years before he entered the battlefield.
Regarding these things on the battlefield, he is also good at reading guns - he can understand them more clearly.
Five thousand fast horses crossed the Yellow River to cross the beach, and the loss was no more than a hundred horses!
What kind of concept is this? This is something that has never been seen before on the battlefield.
From then on, the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about the loss of troops and horses, which was a huge military expense.
Even in this battle to Mobei, they can give the Turks an unexpected head-on blow.
And all this is just because of Tang Sufan's horseshoe!
At this point, the rest of Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't hold back the shocked expressions on their faces.
Since the beginning of history, war horses have always been the most powerful battlefield resource, and now Tang Sufan's horseshoe has directly and greatly solved the problem of Tang Dynasty's war horses.
Among them, the miraculous achievements can no longer be counted in detail.
Just like today, how could the Turkic army guarding the Yellow River crossing expect that five thousand fast horses would cross the Yellow River crossing and kill them?
Needless to say, how many pairs of cavalry would the Turks have to guard the Yellow River crossing?
Five thousand cavalry entered the battle and faced off against the Turks who could only run on two legs. It was like chopping melons and vegetables.
Within a few rounds of charging, most of the so-called Turkic defense barrier would be broken.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Jing's military situation returned so quickly.
Li Shimin smiled loudly, slowly suppressed his excitement and sat down slowly, but still couldn't help but raised his voice.
"Not only that, besides Su Fan's horseshoe, there is another thing that has also done extraordinary things..."
At this point, Li Shimin still had the intention to show off, and spoke in a sultry tone.
Upon hearing this, several Humerians immediately looked at him in thought.
Only Changsun Wuji's narrow eyes flickered and hesitantly looked at Li Shimin.
"What your Majesty is referring to...could it be a specially made harness?"
Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Haha, that's right!"
Let’s start another story.
A few months ago, Tang Sufan's horseshoe was definitely an outstanding achievement in the army. Later, Liu Xiao also continued to work under Tang Sufan.
As Tang Sufan's current "runner", he naturally has such a horse.
However, the horse equipment native to the Tang Dynasty was really poor and crude.
The most common one is just some baked animal leather, and some rough straw fluff is tied on it to reduce the friction between itself and the horse's back.
Not only does it look a little weird, it even looks a little funny to the eyes of a modern man like Tang Sufan.
Later, Tang Sufan saw Liu Xiao riding this strange horse leather all day long. Not to mention the beauty, the horse couldn't stand it.
In the end I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked Uncle Wang from the neighboring yard to make a set of decent saddles and stirrups.
At that time, Tang Sufan was just sympathizing with himself as a working man, and he was far from the point where he needed a title to compete with an aristocratic family.
After going back and forth, I also forgot about the saddle and stirrups that come with the horseshoes.
But Liu Xiao is a good guy
He is the master of mental aura.
I can see that this horseshoe and this special harness are a perfect match.
Not only does it make riding a horse easier, it also saves effort when riding, and it greatly improves comfort.
Immediately Liu Xiao sneaked into the palace to report to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin saw the benefits of this thing, his thoughts naturally started to change.
Naturally, Li Shimin, who got such a big benefit from prostitution for nothing, wouldn't say anything about it.
And within a day or two, he secretly ordered the Ministry of Works to make saddles and stirrups.
And Liu Xiao was also credited by Li Shimin.
This also made Liu Xiao realize the beauty of following Tang Sufan.
It is extremely difficult for people like them who live in a big city to make a great contribution.
This made Liu Xiao obediently become Tang Sufan's laborer.
Not only are there wages and freedom outside, but the benefits that this young man throws out from time to time are enough to make meritorious service in front of His Majesty. What wonderful benefits?
Instead of being a cautious guard in front of the palace all day long, it would be better to follow this young master. Not to mention other things, this meal makes him reluctant to leave.
As a result, without the knowledge of countless people, Li Jing's army had many more cavalry than before.
Li Shimin secretly ordered Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, to supervise this matter secretly. Except for people from the three central provinces, few people really knew about it.
Changsun Wuji was able to remember it so quickly because of Li Jing's military intelligence analysis.
Finally, after the monarch and his ministers chatted for a few words, Li Shimin proudly concluded with his chest raised and his belly folded.
"I heard that this thing is a saddle and stirrup. I have tried it myself. It is a weapon for horse riding, no less useful than horseshoes. Humph, that stingy boy never imagined that such a good thing would still be in my hands. !」
It made everyone say that Your Majesty is really a bastard... Ahem, Holy Ming, Holy Ming...
Finally, after the discussion of Li Shimin and several others.
Li Shimin immediately sent someone to notify Datang Bookstore.
Articles were published and newspapers were published, and the Dibao newspaper to which the official residence belonged was published in full.
When the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition, the good news came within five or six days. This was a major event that inspired the people, and of course it had to be well prepared.
Compared to the bustle of the Chang'an City Palace.
Far away on the border of Datang——
On the grassland near Suizhou, the atmosphere inside a tent was as ice-like.
This is the general tent of the Tiele tribe.
The one sitting at the top is a ferocious man with a broad build and some unknown bone weapons hanging on his head. He is Qibi Heli, the leader of the Tiele tribe.
Among the Turkic tribes, he is famous for his proficiency in using the sword to chop the horse with one hand.
"Hmph, how dare he, Li Jing, dare to cross the ford of the Yellow River with five thousand fast horses! He, Li Jing, has a few kilograms of wealth, and it is worth such a waste!"
Qibi Heli's eyes flashed fiercely, his anger surged to the sky, and he shouted angrily.
This time, the Tiele tribe was responsible for the task of guarding the Yellow River crossing.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing struck his Tiele tribe on the head with a ruthless knife.
Before the two armies faced the enemy in battle, the Tiele tribe suffered heavy losses.
At that time, when they attacked the Tang Dynasty, how could the Tiele tribe divide their territory based on their merits?
Even in the worst case, the strength of the Tiele tribe on the grassland will be greatly reduced.
Will other tribes take advantage of the situation? After all, on the grassland, the population and strength of the tribe are the most important foundation.
This time, Li Jing directly asked him to kill more than 3,000 warriors from the Tiele tribe.
How can Qibi Heli not be angry?
Even now he still can't figure out why the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty are so brave so far?
"Report! Chief, Khan's messenger is here!"
At this time, a soldier was outside the tent and announced in a loud voice in Turkic language.
