Liaozhou is a small country with a small city, so it is difficult to withstand the attack of the Eastern Turkic cavalry.

"Nearly 50,000 refugees gathered outside our Liaozhou city a few days ago."

"The East Turkic cavalry entered Hedong Road. They should have known the news and would not have missed such a good opportunity to massacre these unarmed refugees."

"Although we in Liaozhou have accepted this group of refugees now, the East Turkic cavalry may not know the news yet and may still come here to kill them."

Xu Shihui said with a solemn expression.

"You're right!"

Fang Yuan's heart felt a little heavier.

Xu Shihui’s guess is very possible.

Attacking a city will consume more or less time and manpower.

But if there are so many refugees at the gate of Liaozhou City, just trample them, why not?

And because of the time difference and information gap, it is very likely that the East Turkic cavalry will come here.

Thousands of cavalry...or the terrifying Eastern Turkic cavalry. Fang Yuan's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"Please also ask the governor to form a cavalry immediately!"

Xu Shihui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Then, he left and reunited with his wife and children.

"Fang Yuan, do you have any arrangements?"

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

After Xu Shihui's analysis, she also felt that Liaozhou was likely to be raided by thousands of Eastern Turks.

"Find the Li siblings and ask them to urgently train the cavalry!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

When he captured the bandits last time, Li Danqiu mentioned that he wanted to train cavalry.

However, due to the limited number of war horses and considering that people would stare at them, there was no follow-up.

Now that Hedong Road is in trouble, the imperial court asked the states to pay attention to safety, defend themselves, and always contact Chang'an City.

At this time, no one dares to say anything when the cavalry is formed for self-defense.

"What do I need to do?"

Du Miaoyan asked again.

She wants to help Fang Yuan lighten his burden.

"Yes!"

"Horseshoes!"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up.

He suddenly remembered that horses in this era did not have horseshoes.

A horse without horseshoes is not as powerful as the Eastern Turks on the battlefield.

And because there is no protection, the horse's hooves are easily injured, and it is easy to lose.

"What is a horseshoe?"

Du Miaoyan thought about it and didn't quite understand.

"In this way, I will draw a picture for you, and you go to the steel factory and order the craftsmen to build it overnight."

Fang Yuan said slightly excited.

Find drawings, draw and write, and tell Du Miaoyan its role.

"This, this is really a genius idea."

"Fang Yuan, your horseshoe can greatly improve the strength of the cavalry and will change the situation of the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty!"

Du Miaoyan has profound knowledge and was immediately shocked after listening to Fang Yuan's explanation.

Not only can it improve combat power, but it can also reduce the loss of war horses. Fang Yuan’s idea is really amazing.

"This matter is very important, so I leave it to you."

"You take all the eighty horses I have and shoe them, and I will continue to look for them."

Fang Yuan smiled and said solemnly.

Eighty horses is too few. We need to collect horses from other people in the city and try to make up a thousand horses.

"Okay!"

"I will also bring thirty horses from the Royal Merchant Company with me!"

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

Leave immediately with Fang Yuan’s intention.

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and immediately asked for the Li Danqiu siblings.

"Really?"

"I want to be the commander-in-chief!"

After listening to this, Li Danqiu's eyes instantly lit up.

"Sister, are you not afraid at all?"

Li Siwen was speechless.

He just finished listening to Fang Yuan's story and was quite shocked.

But his sister was so excited that he was immediately speechless.

Thousands of East Turkic cavalry are cavalry, not infantry, and they are the East Turkic cavalry that all Tang soldiers are afraid of.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"For alien invasion, everyone can punish them!"

"If you are afraid, go away quickly and don't tell anyone that he is my brother."

Li Danqiu snorted and said righteously.

Li Siwen, who only knew her deeply, knew that Li Danqiu just wanted to fight.

Because his father Li Ji did not allow them to go to the battlefield, Li Danqiu was obsessed with war.

"Then you start training the cavalry tomorrow!"

"Now I will provide you with more than a hundred horses and people first, and then I will provide you with some every day. You can train anywhere in the city. It is best to let more people know about it."

Although Fang Yuan also felt that what Li Danqiu said was false.

But this pair of siblings undoubtedly learned some of Li Ji's skills and knew how to train and lead troops.

The last time we wiped out the bandits, if they hadn't trained the state officials and security guards, they might not have been able to win so easily.

"I want to be the commander-in-chief!"

Li Danqiu stared at Fang Yuan and emphasized again.

"Okay, but you have to train the cavalry first!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and did not refuse Li Danqiu's request.

Looking at one city and four counties in Liaozhou, there should be no one more capable of leading troops to fight without her.

"Don't worry!"

"I will create the strongest cavalry for you!"

Li Danqiu laughed proudly.

She pulled Li Siwen and strode towards the door.

The whole figure looks like a mighty commander.

Fang Yuan looked at her back and smiled, and soon his expression became solemn.

That night, Fang Yuan, who was rarely free, went to the steel plant in person to supervise the work with Du Miaoyan.

When I saw that the horseshoe fit the war horse completely, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, most people in one city and four counties in Liaozhou slept soundly, but the aristocratic families who had received information were in panic.

If we didn't know where the Eastern Turkic cavalry were now, there might have been families who moved overnight and left Liaozhou and Hedong Road.

Early the next morning, Xu Shihui, who had already moved into the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, wrote a strategy and handed it to Fang Yuan.

After reading Xu Shihui's strategy, Fang Yuan's nervous heart relaxed a little again, and he felt that Xu Shihui was a talent.

"I will keep an eye on the movements of the Eastern Turkic Cavalry."
