When Liu Chen and officials from the Forging Institute arrived at the military camp, soldiers such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Jia, and Gao Lan were already ready.

There are now more than 20,000 horses in Changshan's army, and 10,000 sets of stirrups and horseshoes are naturally not enough, so 10,000 horses are equipped first.

Watching the officials in the forging yard installing horseshoes, the soldiers were a little curious. Watching them drive nails into the horseshoes, they were a little nervous.

However, it turns out that the bones of the horse's hoof are not tactile, let alone painful.

After the horseshoes are installed on the four hooves, and the saddle and stirrups are installed on the horse's back, the real war horse finally appears.

"do you understand?"

An official from the Forging Institute explained:"Horseshoes are equivalent to horses' shoes. They are not meant to be worn once and for all. When they are worn to a certain extent, they need to be replaced!"

"Understood!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, they will need to come when the time comes to replace them.

Seeing the soldiers eager to try, Liu Chen smiled and waved his hand, Zhao Yun also arranged for the cavalry officers and ordinary officers to mount the horses for testing.

Under the demonstration, these The soldiers quickly mounted their horses.

The tightness of the saddle gave them a sense of security and they would not feel like they would fall off the horse's back.

Especially the stirrups made them feel as if they were walking on flat ground and could use the soles of their feet to borrow strength!

"so amazing! I'm not afraid of falling at all!"

"This stirrup is simply an invention that transcends the times, and it actually makes me feel like I’m walking on flat ground!"

"Even if I am not a cavalryman, with a little training, I can easily control a horse!"

"How amazing and talented is Your Highness to be able to imagine such a shocking invention?!"

"Your Highness’s intelligence is beyond the reach of mere mortals like us!"

"Your Highness, Holy Ming! Your Highness, Holy Ming!"

……

These cavalrymen felt the advantages brought by the saddle and stirrups, and they all cheered and praised Liu Chen!

As for the horseshoes, this will take some time to test.

However, the soldiers can also feel that after installing the horseshoes, there is no difference at all in the horse's running speed, steps, etc.!

With the cushioning layer of the horseshoe, it will obviously have a protective effect on the bones of the horseshoe.

In this way, the horse's wear and tear will be reduced to a minimum, or even almost no loss!

Although the Han Dynasty already had a horse policy and wanted to solve the problem of horse shortage. However, demand still exceeds supply and it is difficult to provide a perfect and urgent solution!

But it’s different with horseshoes. You only need to replace the horseshoes regularly, and the horse can last until the end of its life!

These three inventions can be called cross-era inventions, which are enough to change the direction of the battlefield and increase the overall strength of the cavalry by more than 30%!

Zhao Yun, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan and other generals looked at Liu Chen with lingering admiration in their eyes!

Liu Chen is also satisfied!

After having horseshoes, stirrups and saddles, their Changshan cavalry, and after training, when the Luoyang Rebellion breaks out, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry will not be enough!

However, 10,000 sets are not enough, and continuous production is needed. Moreover, more than 20,000 horses are not enough, and more need to be added.

Fortunately, the Zhen family is here to transfer peace, and the horses will be transported over in a while, and then the entire army will be able to be added!

……

Just when Liu Chen and other officers and soldiers of the Changshan Army were in a state of excitement, there was an uproar in Luoyang!

The reason is that Liu Chen's execution of Prime Minister Yuan Fu has spread throughout Luoyang.

Moreover, the whole of Luoyang, and even the entire Han Dynasty, had been informed about Liu Chen's detention of many wealthy families in Changshan Kingdom!

This undoubtedly caused rejection and counterattack from the families behind many aristocratic families. as expected.

In today's court meeting, Sikong Yuanfeng, one of the three princes, and Yuan Wei, the Taifu, impeached Liu Chen against Liu Bian, the future Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the government is now controlled by his mother, Queen Mother He, and General He Jin. The Yuan family is just making it public

"Your Majesty, Changshan King Liu Chen used his power for personal gain, killed the Prime Minister Yuan Fu at will, and detained the Yang family and other hundreds of wealthy families without reason.……"

After Yuan Feng mentioned a lot of Liu Chen's crimes,"I suggest that the title of King Changshan be deposed and the fiefdom of King Changshan be deprived of him!"

"I second the motion!"Situ Yang Biao stepped forward and said with cupped hands.

The three princes all seconded the proposal, and almost all the officials behind him, big and small, stood up and seconded the proposal.

This was also for He Jin and the Queen Mother He to see.

As expected.

Liu Bian looked at it with a confused expression. Watching the impeachment of the ministers below, he then looked at Queen Mother He who was listening to politics behind the curtain:"Mother, this is……"

Queen Mother He frowned with confusion on her face:

"I have also heard about Liu Chen, the king of Changshan. He has always had a benevolent reputation. Why are he being appealed by so many ministers today?"

Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang on the side said:"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have heard some gossip, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Oh, Zhang Changshi, please stop playing riddles. Zhang

Rang glanced at Yuan Feng and others coldly from the corner of his eye and said directly:

"Although Yuan Fu was the Prime Minister of Changshan, he was corrupt and accepted bribes, and the people were complaining. He used his position to form cliques for personal gain, and joined forces with Changshan aristocratic families to steal the people's wealth and support. The people were often beaten and used to steal land."

"This time, when he heard that the people who had been wronged were put to death, King Changshan knew about it. He held a trial, overturned the case and retried it, and only then made these countless crimes public."

Zhang Rang's words caused the expressions of many officials in the court to change. Empress

Dowager He and Liu Bian even felt a little appalled, calling Liu Chen wise, powerful, fair and selfless!

Yuan Wei said coldly:"Zhang Rang, you eunuch, the court How can I not allow you to talk nonsense!"

"Justice is in the heart!"

Zhang Rang's eyes were on fire, but he still held it back.

He was not helping Liu Chen, but the enemy of his enemy was the friend of their eunuch.

Compared with Liu Chen who was far away in Changshan, the eunuch and the Yuan family and other noble families who joined forces with He Jin , is already in a state of intense conflict.

Both sides are arguing and arguing!

Seeing that this matter cannot continue, He Jin, who is now going back and forth with the Yuan family, must stand up and pay for Yuan. When seeking justice,

Taiwei Liu Yu, one of the three princes, stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, what Zhang Changshi said was true. I also heard about it.

"Liu Chen, the king of Changshan, is famous all over the country. He has wiped out the bandits and made the people of Changshan have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment. But he can never fake it!"

Many Han clan members above the court all stood up. They have a close relationship with Liu Chen!

These officials will weigh Liu Yu's words. Just because Liu Yu has a reputation for integrity and prestige. Extremely high.

Even though he is one of the three princes, a Taiwei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he still likes to be frugal and wears shabby clothes.

Such a person is naturally attractive to people. But it will also make the nobles who are well-dressed and well-fed a little unhappy. Comparison.

After both sides insisted on their own opinions, there was still no result in the end. Queen Mother He could only shelve the matter for further discussion.

But even if it was further discussed, the result was still a quarrel between the two sides.

All the clan members of the Han Dynasty stood by Liu Chen On this side, those eunuchs held the idea that the enemy of their enemy is their friend, and even quarreled with the Yuan family and He Jin. The originally solemn impeachment turned into a quarrel and a joke. In the end, it spread throughout Luoyang and became It was a joke on the lips of many common people.

Although Liu Chen's move made the powerful nobles displeased, he praised the children of poor families and ordinary people. The wealthy families fled Changshan, but these ordinary people and even some poor families rushed to Changshan.

As the news spread across the country, Liu Chen, who had powerful weapons such as communication pigeons and reconnaissance pigeons, naturally knew about it early.

Regarding the Yuan family's actions, Liu Chen came up with a brilliant plan to counterattack.
