Chapter 48
The frontier fortress turmoil continues, and the land of the Central Plains is not idle.After Dong Zhuo recuperated in Chang'an for a period of time, he began to commit suicide again.

When the capital was moved, Dong Zhuo ransacked Luoyang’s belongings, earning so much money that the government treasury couldn’t fit in it. This fat man was still dissatisfied, and he had a sudden whim and said to Li Ru: “Wenyou, the world is torn apart, and you don’t follow orders. It's really hateful, I want to abolish the five baht coin and mint new money."

Li Ru was shocked when he heard this, and quickly persuaded him: "My lord, casting money is a very important matter. A little carelessness may lead to cheap money and expensive goods, which is not good for the master's plan."

Dong Zhuo's complexion darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Now that the emperor moves his capital to Chang'an and recasts new coins, it just happens to change the old and usher in the new, and make the princes of the world tired of coping. Why not?"

Wang Yun, who was on the side, rolled his small eyes, got up and cupped his hands and said: "Dong Xiangguo's words are not unreasonable. Once the five baht coin is abolished, the money in the hands of all rebels will be turned into dung, worthless, and greatly reduce them. strength, but we can collect food from everywhere with new money and low prices, it really kills two birds with one stone.”

"Ha ha……"

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily. What Wang Yun said was exactly what he thought, power and money must be firmly in his own hands, so that he can sit back and relax.

"It's still Master Zi who knows what I want."

Seeing Dong Zhuo's triumphant expression, Wang Yun complimented him again: "Dong Xiangguoxiong has great talent, and Yun Wan can't match it!"

"well!"

Dong Zhuo turned around and said to Li Ru: "Wen You, I see that you have been busy with business recently, and the minting of new money will be handled by Master Zi."

Li Ru was very disappointed and could only nod his head helplessly. After this incident, the differences between Li Ru and Dong Zhuo became more and more serious, and they were gradually alienated.

But Wang Yun further strengthened the relationship with Dong Zhuo, and often became a guest at the table, discussing major issues together, and Dong Zhuo regarded him as a confidant.

……

Dingxiang County, Shanwu County.

In the blacksmith's shop in the west of the city, the fire inside was raging. A big man was sweating profusely beating a U-shaped iron block. After nearly a hundred times of beating, it finally took shape.

"My lord, what you want is ready!"

The blacksmith brought the U-shaped iron ring to Zhao Feng, and asked with a puzzled look: "My lord, what is this thing for?"

Zhao Feng looked at the U-shaped iron ring that was as big as a palm in his hand, and was extremely happy. This guy is even a sharp weapon for leading cavalry - a horseshoe.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three treasures of horses had not been substantially used on cavalry. Although unilateral stirrups and saddles had appeared, they were only used as decorations.

In contrast, the emergence of horseshoes will greatly enhance the survivability of cavalry. The use of horseshoes not only protects the horseshoes, but also makes the horseshoes grip the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial for riding and driving.

"It's called a horseshoe!"

Zhao Feng first explained, and then said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, bring the horse here! Put on the horseshoe."

Without thinking too much, Dian Wei brought his big Xiliang horse over, and with the help of a blacksmith, nailed the horseshoe firmly under the horse's hoof with iron nails.

After a while, all four horseshoes were palmed, and the Xiliang horse was still intact, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Dian Wei, test the horse!"

Dian Wei responded loudly, "Obey!"

"Tick, tick..."

The sound of horseshoes sounded spontaneously, full of rhythm. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Dian Wei rode his horse and galloped away, and disappeared without a trace after a while. Even if there was a corner, the Xiliang horse walked like flying, steadily .

Zhao Feng smiled with satisfaction: "The shotgun is getting better and better. Dian Wei, who is invincible in foot combat, will one day become invincible in horse combat."

"drive!"

With a shout, the Xiliang Dama came back to everyone's sight, running faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it was galloping back, and it was about to hit the stone pier of the blacksmith's shop.

"Shut up!"

Following Dian Wei's soft shout, the horse's four hooves stopped suddenly, and it didn't fall forward at all.

"What a horse, what a war horse!"

Dian Wei jumped off the horse and said with a smug smile: "My lord, my horse has grown a lot today. Not only can it run fast, it's also very stable."

Zhao Feng replied with a smile: "All this is due to the horseshoe."

Everyone looked at Zhao Feng in horror. They never thought that a small iron bump would have such a big effect.

"Junshi, I will leave it to you to deal with the matter of the horseshoe. You can fight as much as you can. Remember, don't let it out for now."

Lu Xiufu replied solemnly: "This subordinate understands that there will never be any trouble. If the Xianbei people know about such a sharp weapon, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Ok!"

Zhao Feng nodded. In any era, upgrading weapons and equipment is essential. If you want to avoid being beaten, you have to be at the forefront.

Although the emperor system allows him to summon all kinds of cavalry, he can also be promoted to become a high-level soldier, but all of this is based on the reputation and glory points. He does not want to be completely dominated by the system. He wants to develop in all aspects. This is the only way. To be at the pinnacle of invincibility.

……

The cold winter is coming unstoppably, the northwestern land is covered with a thick quilt, the snow is white, and the time of hunger and cold has come again.

Meiji and the Southern Huns were Shan Yuting.

Yu Fuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, said with a melancholy expression: "This year's snow is heavier than ever. I don't know how many people will starve to death or freeze to death."

Yu Fuluo's younger brother, Hu Chuquan, the Youxian King of the Southern Huns, said in a deep voice: "Yes! Not only us, but also Yueya, Hu, Jie, Qiang, and Di, and they are also the same. I heard that the Qiang people have already started to move, and they are ready to go Western Liang loots food."

With a bitter face, Yu Fuluo sighed: "It's a pity that the journey is far away, and it's inconvenient for us to go there. It's a pity, Huchuquan, how much food do we have?"

"Only enough to eat for two months!"

Hu Chuquan responded, and then said: "Shanyu, we can't wait any longer, the land of Xiliang is indeed too far away, Hanoi has Dong Zhuo's heavy troops, but Dingxiang County is close to us. You can go deep into Dingxiang County."

"Dingxiang County?"

Yu Fuluo said to himself, then shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not. You must know that the Xianbei people have just been defeated, and the morale of the Han people is at its peak. If we rush into it at this time, it is not like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth."

"Shan Yu, as far as I know, there are no more than 5000 Han soldiers in Dingxiang County, and they have to divide troops to guard Liang Dingguan. Therefore, there are no more than [-] soldiers left in each county, and Luo County is the closest to us. Xiang County is the farthest from good governance, so we can enter the city pretending to be Han people, take the opportunity to open the city gates, and then march in to grab all the food inside."

"This……"

Yu Fuluo paused for a moment, what Hu Chuquan said was not unreasonable, and then he said: "Hu Chuquan, I will leave this matter to you, remember, don't get entangled."

"As ordered!"

Hu Chuquan responded, and walked out. Over the years, invading the Han people's cities and robbing them of food has become a habit for him.
