Chapter 743: 10,000 Turkic Fine War Horses!
Chapter 743
For the first transaction with Hulu Yege, Wang Chong attaches great importance to it. If there is no intrigue in this deal and everything goes well, then his plan can really be carried out.
If Hulu Yege can bring him the first batch of excellent Turkic war horses, he will definitely be able to bring the second batch, the third batch, or even more, maybe with the help of the ability of this first Turkic horse trader, Datang can really get a large number of the best war horses from the Turkic steppe, making up for the biggest weaknesses and flaws in Datang's previous life.
"It's really exciting!Khuluyege, I hope you won't let me down......"
Wang Chong muttered.
Outside the window, the air is surging and the wind is blowing!
No one knew that a storm was gradually sweeping across the entire Western Regions from the distant Wounds.
......
Khuluyege was indeed as cautious as Wang Chong had expected, and after the first letter, Wang Chong soon received a second letter from Khurushage.
He even sent a servant disguised as a Hu merchant in the jewelry business to infiltrate the city of steel. Before making the first transaction, Khuluyeg wanted to receive a deposit of 100,000 taels of gold.
This caused a lot of controversy under Wang Chong's command, but in the end, Wang Chong overrode the public opinion and sent 100,000 taels of gold to the servants who came.
Those who do great things must have the courage to do great things, and it is absolutely impossible not to take any risks. Compared to the benefits that Datang can obtain in the future, 100,000 taels of gold is really nothing.
After the first deposit was sent, the details of the transaction were quickly determined, and the time was the evening of the next day, after the sub-hour, a hundred miles northwest of the steel city, the transaction was made in one hand, and the other hand was delivered.
However, Hulu Yegehai also made an additional request, hoping that Wang Chong would be present in person during the transaction.
Time flies, two days fly by, and soon it is time to negotiate the transaction.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the stars were dim, and gusts of wind whistled through the sky.
In the starry night, figures lined up in a neat queue, waiting silently.
"Master Hou, it's been so long, why haven't these Turks appeared yet?
After waiting for more than two hours, Cheng Sanyuan finally couldn't help it.
"Yes, the Turks are not credible, he knows that our Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks are at war, and he still sells horses to us, which is really suspicious. Could it be that they are only here for the 100,000 taels of gold, and if they wanted to trade, they should have come a long time ago. “
On the side, Su Shixuan also echoed.
The agreed trading time was sub-hour, but now it was not long before dawn, and Hulu Yege had not yet appeared, which made Wang Chong's generals a little uneasy.
"Hehe, don't worry, it's just 100,000 taels of gold, compared to the amount of the transaction we planned, it's just a drop in the middle, it's nothing at all. With Khuluyege's eyes, he will not be able to see it. “
Wang Chong's body is straight, with his hands behind his back, and his long hair on his temples is flying. Compared with the uneasiness of the generals, Wang Chong seemed much calmer, even if he had waited for two hours, he couldn't see the slightest irritability.
"The Turks are different from us Tang people, they don't have such a strong sense of time, and they have been delayed until now, which is completely their style of acting, and you will get used to it when you come into contact with it in the future. “
Wang Chong said lightly.
When he was messing around in Beijing, he also dealt with the Hu people. Hu is lazy by nature, has no concept of time, often drinks at every turn, gets drunk until dawn, and continues to drink the next day, and the agreed time is often postponed for two to three days before it can be truly achieved.
In addition, the vast expanse of the prairie, galloping across it, the scenery is the same everywhere you go, and it is strange to have the idea of time in such a place.
If Khulu Yege became so punctual, Wang Chong would really wonder if Khulu Yege had some conspiracy.
"Hoof!"
As he was talking, a sudden sound of horses' hooves came from the night, and this sudden movement immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Master Hou, look there!"
I don't know who called it.
Everyone looked carefully in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came, and saw a small figure galloping from a distance in the night. When they got closer, everyone could see clearly, it was a mane hunting, a warhorse with a miraculous horse.
Looking at the galloping movements, posture, posture, and speed of the war horse, even people who don't understand war horses can feel it, this is definitely a good war horse of the upper breed.
The war horses clattered, and soon galloped towards everyone's positions. However, when they saw this war horse, everyone's eyes showed a look of confusion.
Desolate and remote, there should never be any ownerless war horses here. And in the middle of this quiet and deserted night, what does it mean that only one war horse is running?
"Haha, Kulu Yege is really a believer, I didn't misread him!"
Just when everyone was puzzled and puzzled, Wang Chong's ears trembled, and suddenly he heard something and laughed:
"Xu Keyi, get ready, it's time to trade in a while. “
"Yes, Master Hou!"
Xu Keyi glanced at the wooden box full of gold beside him, and nodded subconsciously. Although I still don't understand what happened, the duty of a soldier is to obey.
No matter what Wang Chong's request is, he will implement it 100% and without discount.
"Boom!"
As he spoke, the weeds under his feet fluctuated, swaying slightly with the air current, and a low earth trembling sound came from a distance. At first, it was not very obvious, but in a short time, the low trembling sound turned into the roar of a huge wave crashing on the shore.
"Look there! Look there!
Suddenly someone screamed, and soon everyone found out. In the depths of the night, along the northwest direction, countless war horses were in full shadows, densely packed, galloping from a distance.
The roar of the earth that everyone heard was the sound of those war horses galloping together.
"Hahaha, Prince Wang, we finally meet again......"
While everyone was still attracted by the war horse, a rough laugh suddenly came from the rear of the war horse. Suddenly, a long and sharp whistle came from a distance, and the horses that were originally galloping like huge waves suddenly slowed down, and separated from the left and right, and divided into a stream.
And in the middle of these separate war horses, several black shadows rode war horses and were galloping in the direction of Wang Chong and the others. The first person was slightly fat, and the two fist-sized things on his shoulders shook back and forth, making a sharp sound with the whistling air current, like a devil crying.
Wang Chong recognized it at a glance, it was the first Turkic horse merchant Hulu Yege.
"Hahaha, I was not mistaken!"
Wang Chong's eyes lit up, his heart was overjoyed, he grabbed the reins of a war horse, took a leap, turned over, and galloped away in the direction of Hulu Yege.
"Master Hou, be careful!"
When everyone saw the great hurry, they hurriedly followed.
In the distance, the two war horses met, and Wang Chong and Hulu Yege both turned over and dismounted.
"Hahaha, Wang Gongzi, thank you, thank you so much!"
Unexpectedly, Hulu Yege had just dismounted, and without saying a word, he went up and gave Wang Chong an enthusiastic and big bear hug.
"Master Hou!"
Before Wang Chong could speak, the others were startled by the Turkic man's actions, and Chen Bin, Guan Yu and others subconsciously reached out and pressed the sword on their bodies.
"Don't panic, he has no ill intentions. “
Wang Chong stretched out a palm to stop everyone, looked at the enthusiastic and excessive Hulu Yege in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Khuluyege, what the hell is going on, why did you suddenly thank me?"
"Yes, yes. Wang Gongzi is really a god, if he hadn't listened to your words and paid attention this time, he would have really been plotted by the villain. That bastard, I put my heart into him in vain, and gave him all the family property, and he actually did this to me. “
Kulu Yege said excitedly.
Wang Chong was still stunned at first, but quickly reacted that what Hu Lu Yege said should be his housekeeper Yao Rogge. When Wang Chong left in the Western Regions, he had specially reminded Hulu Yege to be careful of a housekeeper named Yao Luoge under him, and now it seems that his original backhand has played a role.
"Wang Gongzi, can you tell me, how did you find him?"
Kulu Yege raised his head and looked at Wang Chong with an excited expression.
After reaching an agreement with Wang Chong, Hulu Yege ran all over the steppe, collected 10,000 of the best war horses, prepared to trade with Wang Chong, and also agreed on a time for the transaction with Wang Chong.
But Hu Lu Yege never thought that just yesterday, when he was ready to make a deal with Wang Chong, the housekeeper Yao Luoge, whom he had always regarded as a confidant and extremely trusted, actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take his concubine and abscond with the money.
You must know that Yao Luo Ge is in charge of more than eighty percent of his wealth, which is the wealth he has accumulated through decades of hard work and various risks.
If he hadn't listened to Wang Chong's warning, and after coming back, he kept an eye on it, and sent people to monitor Yao Luo Ge day and night, and discovered his actions in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The reason why Khuluyeg was more than two hours later than the agreed time was also related to this incident.
Now, Hulu Yege was really glad that he had listened to Wang Chong's admonition. However, when this happened, Khuluyege suddenly had an irrepressible thought:
The housekeeper beside him didn't even expect him to betray him, how did Wang Chong, a Han man, know?
"Hehe, I naturally have my own way, and Mr. Khulu Yege doesn't think that only the Western Regions and the Great Steppe have Hu people?
Wang Chong glanced at Hu Lu Yege, his expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, as if he had a deep meaning.
Of course, he couldn't tell him about Yao Luoge, but this matter was working, and Wang Chong could clearly feel that Hulu Yege's attitude towards himself was very different from before, and this effect could not be achieved by a large transaction of thousands of taels of gold.
As long as Khulu Yege has a good impression of himself, then he may be able to obtain a steady stream of excellent war horses from the Turkic steppes through him in the future.
