Chapter 720: The Biggest War Horse Deal in History!【Second Update】
Chapter 720 [Happy National Day!^-^, Two Chapters Today]
However, looking back carefully, Datang once had an opportunity, as long as it seized that opportunity, Datang had every chance to obtain a large number of high-quality war horses, and fully prepared for future wars in advance.
And that opportunity is the Turkic horse merchant called "Khuluyeg" in front of him.
However, it is not easy to find Khuluyag, because his whereabouts are erratic, and it is possible to find the steppes in the north, the Anxi Protectorate, the Talas, the Great Food, and even the Usz-Tibetan Plateau.
Wang Chong also found Yang Hongchang, an "old horse" who knew everything about the Western Regions, coupled with the scaly claws he knew in his memory, as well as various legends, so Yang Hongchang began to search for him more than a month in advance. That's how he was able to catch his tracks.
What's even worse is that Wang Chong knows that from now on, there will be three months at most, and everyone will completely lose this opportunity. Because "Khuluyeg" will soon offend the Western Turkic Shabalo Khan because of his arrogance, and will be completely wiped out.
And without the loss of "Khuluyag", no one can get a large number of high-quality war horses from the Turkic steppe. There is no one like "Khuluyag", who is good at dancing with long sleeves and opening up the horse trafficking channel of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates.
Since then, the name "Khulu Yege" has become a unique name in the Western Regions and the grasslands.
Soon after his death, the two great khanates also completely blocked the channel for the trade of war horses. Datang also lost its last chance and has been in the crisis of lack of war horses ever since!
Therefore, as soon as Wang Chong heard that Hulu Yege was in the Western Regions, he rushed over non-stop. Some things should be sooner rather than later, and if you miss them, you will never miss them!
"Who are you? Don't you know this is my territory? Get out of here!"
A Turkic rebuke interrupted Wang Chong's thoughts, and in the room, "Kulu Yege" had a gloomy face, and one right hand had been pressed against the scimitar at his waist, as if he was ready to strike at any time.
"Khuluyeg?"
Wang Chong laughed and suddenly spoke.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Kulu Yege's expression was stunned, and his face changed suddenly. He has always used a pseudonym in the Western Regions, and few can know his real name, most of them are acquaintances.
But he didn't remember knowing the boy in front of him.
"Hehe, don't panic. I was introduced by someone else. ”
Wang Chong smiled and took out something from his waist. It was a black iron token, pitch-black, like ink, with monsters carved on it, completely different from the style of Middle-earth.
Obviously, this is not Middle-earth stuff.
"Oh, it turns out that you are from the Tang Yang family introduced by Tamuge. ”
Kulu also raised his sword-like thick eyebrows, and suddenly relaxed, and his right hand also released the scimitar hilt at his waist, but there was a look of contempt in his expression:
"The Talmudge is really interesting, doesn't he know that I have never dealt with the Han Chinese? The Turks and the Han people are natural enemies, and it is ridiculous that he would think of asking me to sell my horse to the Han people! Hahaha, okay, no matter where you come from, no matter what you still want to do here, while I'm in a good mood now, hurry up and get out of me—— beauty, come, let's keep drinking, hahaha!"
Hulu Yege hugged left and right, drank bitterly, and the red wine liquid slid down his beard, completely leaving Wang Chong in front of him in his mind.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Chong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he was not annoyed, so he sat down opposite Hulu Yege by himself:
"In the past, Maodun surrounded the high court, and the Han Gaozu was trapped in it, so he had to send ten thousand gold ingots, and finally Maodun retreated, and Bai Deng was puzzled and self-defeating. Even Shan Yu and Khan are still like this, I can't imagine that Hulu Yege has such a backbone, he is more upright than the Khan, he doesn't love money, and he admires it. ”
"Hahaha, fun, fun, fun! I underestimate you!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, Hulu Yege was sitting on the ground, drinking grape wine, hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head, as if he was aware of Wang Chong's existence for the first time.
"You guys, get out of here!"
Kulu Yege's eyes widened, and several orchid girls who were originally hugged by him left and right, and were held in his arms, were suddenly frightened by him, screamed, rolled and crawled, and hurriedly ran out.
"So, you're here to send me ten thousand ingots of gold?"
Hulu Yege looked at Wang Chongdao opposite.
"Maudun Siege High Court", this is an old incident from a thousand years ago known to both Middle-earth and Turks.
At that time, Liu Bang, the emperor of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, had just conquered the world, with millions of soldiers, and his soldiers were like clouds.
This was the first time in the history of the mainland that a large-scale pure infantry had met a pure cavalry!
Although it seems that the number of infantry is larger, to this day, everyone knows what it means to have 200,000 pure iron cavalry, and in the wilderness, it is not difficult to sweep even a million foot soldiers.
That's how powerful a cavalry charge is!
It was only then that the Middle-earth Divine Continent truly realized the power of large-scale cavalry, and began to buy horses, herd horses, and raise them on a large scale, and the final result was known to everyone.
By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the "Siege of Baideng", a huge Han cavalry corps was finally formed, which fought in the south and the north, and finally swept the entire Turks, completely defeated them, and completely ran to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and could not recover for hundreds of years!
Even the huge steppe tribe of Maudun, from the Xiongnu, was named Turkic to show that it had nothing to do with that humiliation, and greatly promoted the Tianwei of the Han family, which everyone knows.
Therefore, despite the "Siege of Baiden", it is not taboo for both Middle-earth and Turkic. To some extent, the Turks were even more fearful.
However, what Wang Chong wanted to express was obviously not this.
The Middle Earth Divine Continent has always had the idea of a family and a country, but the grassland is not, and even the legendary male lord of Mao Dunshan on this grassland can be bought by ten thousand ingots of gold. Na Hulu Yege said that the Turks and the Tang Dynasty were at war, so wouldn't it be ridiculous not to sell horses to the Han Chinese?
In business, no matter what the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is, the Turkic horse merchants like Hulu Yege, who crisscross the Western Regions and are like fish in water among all forces, will never care about their positions, nor will they have any patriotic ideas.
What he cares about is only, and there is only one thing, and that is "interests".
As long as there are enough benefits for him to sell the "Shabora Khan", I'm afraid he can do it!
"What is the gold ingot? The dignified Hulu Yege, the largest horse merchant in the steppe, and so many fine war horses in the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, you don't just want to make a gold ingot, right?"
Wang Chong said lightly, looking complacent.
"Buzz!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Kulu Yege's eyes, and he stared at Wang Chong in front of him for three seconds, and suddenly put up his open clothes, and finally showed a serious look on his face.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you. Your ambition is really not small!"
Khurushege's tone changed abruptly, completely different from before:
"Tell me, how many horses do you want? 3,000, 5,000, 8,000, 10,000?"
Wang Chong smiled, but kept shaking his head.
"Twenty thousand?"
Khuluyege's face changed slightly. The men who came to him to buy and sell horses were generally one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, or five thousand. Those who can buy 5,000 at a time are all big customers.
After all, five thousand excellent Turkic war horses can already form an iron cavalry army of five thousand people, which is already quite a considerable number. As for 20,000, he hasn't sold much so far.
If the young Han man in front of him could buy 20,000 war horses, then Hulu Yege had to say that he looked down on him.
"Haha, 20,000? Is Mr. Khuluyege too underestimating me? Could it be that with the ability of Mr. Turkic No. 1 horse merchant, he can only get such a small number of war horses?"
Wang Chong smiled indifferently.
The first batch of warriors he trained reached 5,000 men, and these were the best cavalrymen. The agility they have trained in the mountains and mountains, combined with the speed of their horses, can just give full play to their advantages.
A good black horseman can make sixteen sharp turns, eleven slashes, and even burrow through the horse's belly three times to the other side of the horse after a second.
These abilities are definitely not described by the words "being able to ride a horse", "sitting firmly", or "cavalry", which even the Turkic elite, who claim to be an elite nation on horseback, may not be able to do it.
They are the best cavalry, and the strongest cavalry!
All the 5,000 wounded people in a batch, Wang Chong all had to be equipped with war horses. And there are still fifty or sixty thousand people in the entire Wushu Village, and from this point of view, Wang Chong needs at least fifty or sixty thousand war horses.
And in the future war, every time Datang loses a large number of war horses. Due to the need for reserves, it is conservatively estimated that as many as three or four hundred thousand horses are needed.
In fact, Wang Chong's inner estimation is that if it is for Datang, it should be best to reach seven or eight hundred thousand horses, the more the merrier!
"As long as it's on the prairie, I can't get a war horse without I. Sir, let's talk about it quickly, how many war horses do you want!"
When Hulu Yege was said by Wang Chong, his face was immediately flushed. As a horse merchant, he can do anything, but his ability to sell horses should not be underestimated.
This is also the death hole of Khuluyege.
"At least that's the number!"
Wang Chong smiled slightly, and in Kulu Yege's shocked gaze, he stretched out three fingers:
"300,000 horses!"
"300,000 horses?are you kidding?!"
Kulu Yege exclaimed, even though he was well-informed and had dealt with various forces. Nor has there ever been so many war horses sold. Moreover, 300,000 horses is not a small amount.
In the past, the reason why Khulu Yege was able to buy and sell so many war horses freely was because there were not many of them, and they were nothing if they were thrown on the steppe with herds of war horses.
And the war horses will multiply every day, and some will disappear at all.
But 300,000 horses?!!
This number is invisible only to the blind, and even the Khan would probably notice him.
"I see, I think I'm looking away. It turns out that Mr. Khuluyeg is not the person I am looking for!"
Seeing this, Wang Chong suddenly sneered. He had been deliberately staying here, but at this time, as soon as the words fell, Huo Di stood up, and in the stunned gaze of Kulu Yege, he didn't say a word, turned around and left.
After only a while, he had already walked to the door, and he actually made a decisive decision without dragging his feet.
