My Father in Law is Lu Bu

s.” Zhao Yun waved back generously.

“Eh?” One of Jingzhou’s soldiers suddenly exclaimed.
“This is!”

“What happened?” The older one asked.

“Look at the horse!”

“What happened to the horse?” The older one asked again as he looked at the horse.
It was a good and strong warhorse.
The older soldier sighed in admiration.
That is when the younger soldier redirected the man’s attention to the stirrups.
The two were amazed after trying the stirrups.
They could ride the horse without grabbing on to it with their hands and legs.
This would allow them to perform significantly better in war.

One of the reasons the Han people could only use elites like the Wolf Cavalry and Xiliang Cavalry to fight against foreigners is because of the foreigner’s mounted archery.
Only heroes like Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan could push them back.

Basically, the stirrups could allow the Han cavalry to be as powerful as the foreigners.
Both soldiers could not resist riding on the horse without holding the reins.
They felt as though they were standing on flat ground and were confident that they could do archery from atop this horse.

“General.
Did Yangzhou provide these?” The old soldier asked Zhao Yun.

“Yes.” Zhao Yun replied honestly.
These two soldiers had guts.
Zhao Yun had some admiration for them and also pity.

“Look! There are also these!” The young soldier shouted when he noticed the metal sounds coming from the hooves of the horses.
These were horseshoes.
Riders were usually afraid of three things.
Dying in battle, an old horse, and the condition of a horse’s hooves.
Of these three, the ones that caused the biggest losses were usually the hooves.
After all, warhorses are prone to excessive hoof wear and would eventually become useless.
Wearing horseshoes would help reduce the losses of horses.

This was valuable information.
If they were to inform their superiors, they would receive huge rewards along with a promotion.

“General.
Is it possible…”

“You can have the horse once we reach Fancheng.” Zhao Yun said indifferently.
Hearing this, the soldier felt very grateful as his trust for Zhao Yun deepened.

“Right now, we need to get to Fancheng.” Zhao Yun reminded.

“Yes.
Of course.” The soldier quickly nodded.

“Since we are both here, how about we split up? One of us report this to Fancheng while the other reports this to the other nearby lookouts.
This way, we would neglect no one.”

“That’s right.” The soldiers agreed.
This way, Fancheng could prepare faster.

“If you trust me, allow me and my main forces to accompany you to Fancheng while a small detachment is sent to the other lookouts.” Zhao Yun suggested.

“General! Of course I trust you!” The soldiers replied.
They were initially vigilant as they were not certain of Zhao Yun’s identity.
However, Zhao Yun had allowed them to take away the secret of the stirrups to gain merits.
How could they not trust him? Wouldn’t an enemy have already killed them instead of going through all the trouble? As a result, they gave Zhao Yun a map detailing all the positions of their lookouts.

“Men.
Go to these locations and light up their beacons.
Make sure the Jingzhou Army could see it.” Zhao Yun said as he quietly gave an additional piece of written instruction to one of his men.

“Yes!” Zhao Yun’s subordinate received the order and rode away.

“Come, Generals from Jingzhou.
Let us hurry.
There is no time to waste.” Zhao Yun said to the two Jingzhou soldiers.

“Yes.
Thank you, General!” The soldiers replied.

“Thank me once we arrive at Fancheng.” Zhao Yun said something weird but the soldiers did not think too much.
