After successfully solving two things, Lin Chunhong was in a very good mood. He immediately ordered Cheng Shu and Lu Shiming to be responsible for recruiting refugees and equestrian competitions respectively, while he dived into the copywriting to deal with the delays during the war.

Li Andong's work efficiency is quite high. In less than two days, two lists were posted in various counties and passes. For a moment, Shunde Prefecture was talking about immigration and competitions everywhere. In order to avoid the people from traveling thousands of miles to the city, Cheng Shu and Lu Shiming also set up points and sub-court venues in each county to handle the matters of the county respectively.

At the same time, most of the troops of the Cavalry Camp were also sent to promote the good treatment of the Jingzhou soldiers among the equestrian contestants, which made the warriors in various counties envious and vowed to show their skills in the competition, hoping to take this opportunity to become a member of the Cavalry Camp.

The equestrian competition list also alarmed the people outside Shunde Prefecture and came to ask if they could participate. Of course, Lu Shiming would not refuse, and also instructed these people to bring the news to the fellow villagers around him.

It is not necessary to say that the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp can eat meat every day, it is not necessary to say that the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp can get five taels of silver every month, nor to say that the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp will be distributed to the Xuntian after making meritorious contributions. Just promote the recent achievements of the Jingzhou soldiers, show off their shiny black plate armor and sharp sabers, so that countless knights can rush to it!

Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Every knight with unique skills wants to show his strength in the competition.

However, there is still a gap that runs across the Knights: you need to bring your own horses during the preliminary race!

In the Jingzhou camp, there are only four or five hundred war horses. If they are all used for competition, the number is far from enough. Moreover, frequent use may lead to war horses withdrawing from the battlefield prematurely.

Lu Shiming was cunning and asked the contestants to bring their own horses. In addition to solving the problem of insufficient horses for competition, he also wanted to take the opportunity to acquire the horses in the hands of the Knights.

However, Lu Shiming did not expect that this emergency measure led to a sharp increase in the number of horse theft cases in Shunde Prefecture and brought unexpected troubles.

Qingshiqiao Station in Neiqiu County.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the post station was abolished, and the Qingshiqiao post station was preserved as an indispensable point on the official road. In the post station, in addition to the post station, there were also special grooms, who raised several fast horses for post station exchange.

As night fell, the groom Cao Lao Er held the grass and added it to the stable one by one. The horses were very spiritual. Before eating grass, they rubbed the groom with their mouths to show their gratitude. Cao Lao Er had been raising horses at the post station for more than ten years, and he had established a deep relationship with every horse here, and he raised the horses here as his own children. The horses here would go to another post station every few days and come back again. When the horses were not around, Cao Lao Er missed them very much, worried that other grooms could take good care of these children.

Cao Laoer sighed and silently added some grass. Originally, the horses were exhausted and should have added black beans or grain at night, but the funds were insufficient and even the horse materials could not be met. Cao Laoer had to do his best to add more grass.

Cao Laoer was unmarried and alone, eating, living and sleeping near the stable. This is his home and his concerns.

Cao Laoer has a unique skill and is good at breeding horses. Through years of summary, he can tell at a glance whether a horse is a thoroughbred or a bastard. Breeding with a thoroughbred can ensure the excellent quality of his offspring. If it is a bastard, the offspring may be better, but the chance is very low. Cao Laoer has always wanted to choose a better bastard through breeding, but he has no conditions now. After all, he cannot have his own horse, and he can only use his own strengths when others invite him.

"It would be great if there were hundreds of horses left to me to raise. I would definitely make up the best horse!" Cao Laoer lay on the forage and thought silently.

Suddenly, there was a cry of an old turtle outside the stable. When Cao Lao Er heard this, he smiled in disgrace and slapped himself: "You want to have a delusion, look, the old turtle is coming to laugh at you!"

However, what surprised Cao Lao Er was that the old trolls were all shouting on the trees, so why did the sound come from the ground?

Cao Lao Er was curious and opened the stable door, ready to find out. As soon as the door creaked open, a wooden stick hit the back of his head. He fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

There were waves of horse neighing in the stable. When the postman heard this, he cursed: "Damn, Cao Lao Er is tormenting his horse again, making me unable to sleep!" After scolding, he turned over and fell asleep in a deep sleep. The weather was cold, so he didn't want to get up and take a look.

When Cao Laoer woke up, it was already past Yin time. When he opened his eyes, he found that the stable was empty and three horses disappeared!

Cao Lao Er complained, the horse was lost, and he was going to sue!

Cao Laoer, who was desperate, did not dare to stay at the inn. He cleaned up some of the fine and soft things and rushed far away.

※※※

In Gejiazhuang, Neiqiu County, two men were sitting bored on the stone basking in the sun.

Ge Wenfei smashed his mouth and said, "Brother, the first place is 3,000 taels of silver. We have to participate no matter what, 3,000 taels of silver."

The eldest brother Ge Wenlu moved his butt, changed into a more comfortable position, and said, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I am not proficient in riding and shooting horses and archery, so it will be useless if I go."

Ge Wenfei mysteriously put his mouth to Ge Wenlu's ear and whispered: "I heard that this equestrian competition was not organized by Shunde Mansion, but Lin Guerrilla! Lin Guerrilla, do you know? It's the Jingzhou man who killed the stars all over the sky!"

Ge Wenlu still couldn't get interested and said lazily: "No one organization is the same, I can't win the bonus anyway!"

Ge Wenfei pushed Ge Wenlu and said, "Brother, you are so stupid. Lin Guerrilla organized equestrian competitions just to recruit cavalry! I heard that you can get five taels of silver every month, and there is also..."

Ge Wenfei talked endlessly, and finally aroused Ge Wenlu's interest. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I am not just raising horses and looking at horses. Riding and shooting is nothing more than nonsense. How can Lin Guerrilla like me?"

"If there are cavalry, there are horses. How can Lin Guerrilla still lack horse-raising people? I guess, brother, you go there. As long as you have a unique skill, it will be much more popular than me!"

Ge Wenlu said suspiciously: "Really?"

Ge Wenfei whispered: "I met Cao Lao Er yesterday, he told me!"

Ge Wenlu was shocked and said, "Cao Laoer stole the horses from the post station. The whole county was painting and catching people. How dare he come to see you?"

"It's not him alone, but two archers under Lin Guerrilla! Cao Lao Er did not steal horses. He was stolen three horses. When he fled for fear of sin, he happened to be hit by the Cavalry Camp. Wu Tianzhu, the deputy commander of the Cavalry Camp, saw that he was good at raising horses, so he left him in the camp! He also asked him to recommend someone who could raise horses. Cao Lao Er secretly came to you. If you are not here, I want me to pass on the message to you!"

Ge Wenlu was as if he was listening to a story, so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Ge Wenfei said, "Brother, go, I don't want to stay in this place anymore. Today, Zijinliang is here, and tomorrow Deng Qi is here again. I'm scared every day. Just bring your sister-in-law to Jingzhou. I heard that you can still cultivate fifteen acres of land if you go!"

Ge Wenlu finally made up his mind and said, "Then we brothers are going. You can give me the horse these days and I will condition you, so that you will definitely get a ranking!"

Ge Wenfei frowned and said, "Hey, our horses are so bad, and the starting point is lower than others. How can we win the ranking?"

Ge Wenlu smiled and said, "The horse is a little bad, but the horse still needs to be conditioned. As long as it is conditioned, it will not be worse than a good horse!"
