The Supreme Being of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 423 Unsolvable Puzzles

"Since this is the case, there is no need to mention this matter again. Come, brother Yuvro, let's have a drink together."

It is best for Qin Ye to be successful in this matter. If not, he will not force it, so he will not mention this matter again.

However, Yu Fuluo was even more embarrassed.

You must know that Qinye has kindness to the Huns, and every little bit of kindness will be reciprocated. This is in the bones of the Huns.

It's just that the Huns couldn't solve the problem of some slaves. If it spread, all ethnic groups in the grassland would laugh at the Huns for their lack of loyalty.

Yu Fuluo drank it all down, put down his glass heavily, and said, "Since it was General Qin who came to take it, we can accommodate it a bit. How about this, I will gather the rewarded warriors and see if they are willing to transfer their slaves to General Qin."

As a Hun, Yuvro could not break the rules of the clan, and he could not force the warriors to surrender their slaves.But if the Warriors take the initiative to send it out, it's another matter.

Yu Fuluo turned to Hu Chuquan and said, "Go and bring all the warriors who got the slaves here."

Qin Ye originally thought it would take a long time, but he didn't expect to arrive in about half an hour.

There were twenty or thirty big men who came in, all tall and majestic.

Yu Fuluo said proudly: "General Qin, they are the most elite warriors among our Huns."

Qin Ye looked over, "The brave Huns really deserve their reputation."

The warriors also looked at him. These warriors all participated in the Battle of Bingzhou that year, and they feared and respected Qin Ye.

a while.

Yuvro briefed the warriors on the situation.

The expressions of the warriors are not as natural as before.

Although the warriors were in awe of Qin Ye, if they were to be deprived of their symbol of honor, it would be the same as cutting flesh.

Seeing this situation, Yu Fuluo spoke again, "General Qin is my family's friend and benefactor, you should think about it carefully."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Ye. There was only so much he could do.

When the warriors heard what the king said, they looked embarrassed.

At this time, a warrior came out, more than eight feet tall, with a back like a fight, and a very strong aura. He beat his chest and saluted Qin Ye, "General, I have always known your reputation. There are countless capable people under your command. There is never a problem that cannot be solved. ... If the general can help me solve a problem, I am willing to send slaves."

Hu Chuquan thought of one thing, and said from the sidelines: "Ariana, do you want a first-grade horse? This is completely fine. The clan can solve it for you."

Qin Ye didn't speak for a while, it sounds like there is a story in it.

Arina shook his head, "I don't want to change horses, I just want General Qin to help save my horse."

Qin Ye looked at Yu Fuluo puzzled.

As the king of the Huns, Yu Fuluo has hundreds of thousands of tribesmen under his command. It is impossible to know everyone well, but he knows the most elite warriors of these dozens of tribes like the back of his hand.

He briefly introduced the situation.

For the Huns, the most important thing is the war horse.The Huns had hundreds of thousands of sons, but Marco did not have hundreds of thousands.There are even fewer strong horses that can become war horses, so not everyone can own war horses.

Only strong clansmen can own war horses.

The weak can only become the warrior's companion and help the warrior.

The average life expectancy of a horse is 30-35 years old, and the longest can reach more than 60 years old.Therefore, the strong period of the horses for more than ten years also coincides with the golden period of the warriors for more than ten years.

Like a god horse, it has been strong for decades, such as the red rabbit horse, which has accompanied Lu Bu and Guan Yu for [-] years.

If a warrior's war horse does not die, he usually only has one horse in his life.

Moreover, the relationship between warriors and horses is very deep, just like family members.When the war horse is sick, it is more uncomfortable than being sick.

Therefore, the Warriors will not change horses unless they have to.

But there is a problem that has always plagued the warriors and their beloved steeds.

That is, many war horses are still in their golden age, but due to the long running distance, the cuticles of the horseshoes are severely worn, and they often bleed after exposing the flesh.In this case, long-term maintenance is required, which not only shortens the golden period of the horse, but also greatly delays the training and fighting of the warrior.

Arina waited for Yufulo to finish speaking, and said: "My war horse is a rare steed, galloping and carrying weight, far surpassing other horses. But because of this, the hooves of the horse appeared early. Although it is my mount , but also my brother. If the general can solve the problem of my war horse, I am willing to return the slave!"

The warriors looked at each other and said in unison, "So do we."

It seems that this problem not only troubles Ariana, but also troubles everyone.The war horses are their brothers. If this problem can be solved, they are willing to send the slaves back.

Qin Ye didn't understand it for the time being. What he didn't understand was that in later generations, these problems didn't seem to exist.It seems that the current war horses retire early, and the later war horses are retired only when they are old.

Could it be that the horseshoes of today's war horses are different from those of later war horses?
Later evolution?

It can't evolve so fast, can it?

Anyway, Qin Ye didn't understand why the horse's hoof was severely worn out for the time being, after all, there was no such problem in later generations.

And Zhuge Liang and the others peeped at each other.

Sima Yi was rather dissatisfied, and whispered: "Isn't this a problem for the lord? This problem is not only a problem for the Huns cavalry, but also a problem for the whole world. It has never been solved. It is an unsolvable problem..."

"Ariana, do you want to change the condition? You think you are prevaricating this unsolvable problem. This is not the style of our Huns." Yu Fuluo was also a little dissatisfied. You must know that Qinye and the Huns have a very close relationship. And this problem has been troubled for hundreds of years, and no one can solve it at all.

If you make such a difficult problem, what will the various ethnic groups think of us?
Ali Na said with certainty: "General Qin needs my glory. If you want my glory, you have to solve this problem."

This is a matter of the glory of a warrior, and glory is more important than life. As expected, only warhorses who are like brothers can be exchanged, and Yu Fuluo can't say anything.

Qin Ye signaled that there is no need to continue, "The horse's hoof has been worn out a long time ago, and it shouldn't be. Well, let's take a look first."

Zhuge Liang and the others felt nervous when they saw Qin Ye speak, but they were relieved when they saw that Qin Ye didn't directly agree.

After all, this kind of problem has plagued people for a long time, and there has never been a solution, it is an unsolvable problem.

a while.

Everyone came to Ali Na's tent.

His horse is in the stable beside the tent.

Qin Ye walked over, took a closer look, and praised: "It's a good horse. Look at the muscles in its legs, it's different from ordinary war horses. It's really a horse with a good breed. A BMW treats a hero!"

Arina was happy to hear that Qin Ye praised his mount, but soon became sad.He walked over, touched the horse's head affectionately, then squatted down, and raised the horse's right front leg.

Qin Ye and the others looked over and saw that the horse's hooves were really worn out.The cuticle on the front of the horse's hoof is almost completely worn off.Running like this, stepping on a small stone at random, I am afraid that the skin will burst and bleed.

Zhao Yun sighed, "What a good horse, it's a pity. In the future, when walking the horse, try to find a flat ground to reduce the wear and tear during non-wartime as much as possible."

Zhuge Liang and the others nodded repeatedly. They couldn't choose when fighting, but they could choose at ordinary times. They still had to maintain it as much as possible to prolong the battle life of the horse.

At this time, Qin Ye was very surprised about this matter.He frowned at this moment, thinking to himself, "Why didn't you see the horseshoe?"

Only now did Qin Ye recall that his cavalry horses did not have horseshoes.

But Yu Fuluo and the others are all accustomed to it.

Seeing Qin Ye's bewildered expression, they also thought that it was impossible for Qin Ye to solve this problem.

Yu Fuluo said to the people around him: "General Qin is a capable person, and there are countless capable people under his command." He looked at the expressions of Zhuge Liang and others, "But it is impossible to solve this problem. You know, this problem has been solved since ancient times. , there is no good solution, it is an unsolvable problem.”

Hu Chuquan nodded and said, "Even General Qin can't solve this problem."

They didn't want to make things difficult for Qin Ye. This problem was indeed a problem that troubled people all over the world. No one wanted to solve it, but they couldn't solve it.

As for Qin Ye, he didn't pay attention to this aspect before.

As for Zhao Yun and the others, no one mentioned this matter, because this matter has become the norm for many years, and generally no one mentions it.

In addition, Qin Ye had not built his army for a long time, and the horses used were all good horses, so such problems would not occur in a few years.

No horseshoe?

There are some things that Qin Ye doesn't know either.According to historical records, horseshoes were first invented by the ancient Romans around the first century BC, and were not widely used in the Central Plains until the Yuan Dynasty.

There is another record, probably around the Five Dynasties.During the Tianfu period of the late Jin Dynasty, the imperial court sent envoys to Khotan, from where the Uighurs were stationed at that time, into the vast Gobi.The roads in the Gobi are full of gravel, which is very difficult to walk, and the horseshoes are damaged, making it impossible to move.

How to travel far without horses?The envoys of the imperial court were in trouble.

At this time, the Uyghurs taught them a technique, "Teach the envoys of Jin to make horseshoes with woods, woods with four holes, horseshoes with four holes, and camels' hooves wrapped with yak skin."

This record shows that the mounts of the national envoys at that time did not have horseshoes, which shows that horseshoes had not yet been introduced at that time.

Although Qin Ye didn't know these records, but seeing that there was no horseshoe, he knew the solution.

At this time, Yu Fuluo saw Qin Ye's pensive expression, and it seemed that he couldn't find the steps to go down.

Yu Fuluo didn't want to see Qin Ye being embarrassed, so he gave Ali a hard look, walked up to Qin Ye, and said, "General Qin, this is the end of the matter. Let's go back to drink. As for General Qin's question, I will Let's think of another way."
