Pegasus Ranch has been around for nearly 200 years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shang Xiong, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch who built the first generation of this castle, was a military general at the end of the Jin Dynasty, when Liu Yu was the Jin Dynasty, changed the name of the country to Song, and the world was divided.

In order to avoid the scourge of war, Shang Xiong led his men and his clansmen to the south, and found this hidden valley by coincidence, so he lived and worked here in peace and contentment, and established a pasture.

In the 160 years from the establishment of the ranch to the unification of the world by the Sui Dynasty, the Pegasus Ranch experienced seven owners, all of whom were inherited by the Shang family and had supreme authority.

The others are Liang, Liu, Tao, Wu, Xu, Luo and other ethnic groups, after more than 100 years of reproduction, they have moved out to the surrounding areas to form nearby towns and villages, and more than half of their inhabitants are from Pegasus Ranch.

Pegasus Ranch is also the economic lifeline of this region, producing high-quality horses, famous all over the world, but because the owner pursues ancestral teachings, never participate in the affairs between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, the style is low-key, and has always been a businessman, if it is not a high status in the rivers and lakes to a certain extent, basically not many people have heard of the reputation of Pegasus Ranch.

The first generation of the owner, Shang Xiong, was born as a military general, and he knew the truth of the proximity of the fist, so he encouraged his subordinates to study martial arts and promote martial arts.

In the world of chaos today, the southwest area of Jingling, and even the north of Nanjun, although it is not explicitly stated, the people of the world generally agree that this is the territory of Pegasus Ranch.

If you have land and resources, you will naturally covet it for others. Especially if you want to dominate the Central Plains, it is impossible to achieve it without a strong enough cavalry. For the sake of his hegemony, Li Mi sent his son Li Tianfan to plan the ranch.

Li Tianfan co-opted the people in the ranch who wanted to take the position, and even associated with the Four Great Kou and the Yin Kui faction, intending to take down the people in the Pegasus Ranch and the Li valve guests who came to the Pegasus Ranch as guests in one fell swoop.

However, he didn't want such a plan to be ruined by Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who were sent by Li Qin to negotiate business with the ranch.

The traitor was found out, the four big cowards were defeated, and Li Tianfan and his party were all taken down. Of course, during this period, he also accidentally broke Li Valve's plot against the ranch, causing the ranch to be at odds with Li Valve's enemies to some extent.

The series of changes is really dazzling and dizzying.

Then, the news of being attacked by Du Fuwei came from Jingling. Jingling's Domination Mountain Villa and Pegasus Ranch are interdependent and allies. Now that the allies are in trouble, Pegasus Ranch naturally has to raise troops to help. Although cavalry could not play its best role in defending the city, it was still a force.

This is an attitude, whether it can succeed or not, Pegasus Ranch is also a little apprehensive.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhongyi's actions to save Pegasus Ranch allowed them to win the trust of everyone in the ranch. The reinforcement was entrusted to the two men.

"If it doesn't work, take those two boys and run back. Du Fuwei mobilized an army of 100,000, which was not easy to deal with. After hearing about the strength of the Jianghuai army, the chief butler Shang Zhen whispered to Luo Fang, the general who commanded the army.

Luo Fang nodded and took the order, and he didn't have much hope in his heart about whether it could be done.

There are 100,000 Jianghuai troops, and the defenders of the pasture and Jingling are only a little more than 20,000. Such a comparison of forces is really a bit disturbing.

But I didn't want the later changes to make the people of Pegasus Ranch even more shocked: Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, two fledgling boys, actually held out for seven days under Du Fuwei's onslaught;

Seven days later, Li Qin, who successively defeated Zhang Shan'an, Lin Shihong, Xiao Mo and other southern heroes, went north, raided the Jianghuai army, routed the Jianghuai army's naval division, captured Fengxiang County, and then drove directly to the battlefield of Jingling City, forcing the Jianghuai army to flee eastward.

After Du Fuwei retreated, Jingling naturally became Li Qin's territory, and Li Qin took the prestige of defeating Du Fuwei, and successively accepted the refuge of Jiangnan counties in Jiangbei, and established a fairly stable position in Jingbei.

As a result, the people of Pegasus Ranch were surprised to find that after the terrible enemy of Du Fuwei was repulsed, there was an even more powerful force entrenched around them - Li Qin.

What do such forces have in mind about their Pegasus Ranch? Will they want to take down our Pegasus Ranch? What should we do about them?

The people of Pegasus Ranch are arguing about this, among them there are people who think that Li Qin can make friends, and there are also people who think that Li Qin is unreliable, and even Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, is confused in everyone's arguments and doesn't know what to do.

At this moment, they received a post that Li Qin was coming to visit.

What does Li Qin want to do? Is it a prelude to the attack on Pegasus Ranch?

The people in the ranch talked a lot, and in the end, it was Shang Xiuxun who made a decision:

"Anyway, people come to see me. This is a good thing. People come according to courtesy, and we must not be rude to him.

In a word...... Whatever he does, we'll have to meet with him and see what he's going to do...... Although the outsiders are unreliable, we can't refuse all outsiders, we are businessmen, and we still have to do business. ”

The owner of the field has spoken, and this is not wrong, and the stewards below can only receive orders. It's just that out of concern for Shang Xiuxun's safety, they resolutely refused to let Shang Xiuxun go to meet Li Qin.

"Li Qin is said to be a master at the Grandmaster level. If he has ill intentions towards the owner and breaks out, he is only afraid of ...... None of us can win here. For the safety of the owner...... Let's sit in the castle. The stewards pleaded neatly.

"Wouldn't that be too rude? If people come with good intentions...... Wouldn't we be going too far? Shang Xiuxun hesitated slightly.

"It may be a bit of a faux pas, but it's not too much. They are not subordinate to each other, and there is no reason for the owners to greet each other directly. If Li Yuanhua really had good intentions, he would probably not care about this. At most, we'll give him a little bit of a favor in future deals. The stewards said in unison.

After experiencing some changes, they recognized Shang Xiuxun a lot, and they all planned for Shang Xiuxun.

Thus, there is this scene that Li Qin saw.

For these Li Qin is not known. He was now strolling towards the ranch's castle under the guidance of the ranch's stewards.

Li Qin looked around as he walked, and he exchanged glances with Cen Wenwen, Xu Xingzhi, Shen Luoyan and others in silence, carefully observing the sentry towers and bunkers built at various dangers and key points in the pasture. He found that the fortifications were built in a very orderly manner, and the staggered layout between them often cost those who wanted to attack the ranches.

"This Pegasus Ranch is really a dangerous pass, and it is impossible to get hold of it in a hurry. To deal with them, it is absolutely ineffective to attack them with heavy troops, and if you want to make him useful to me, you have to use gentle means. Li Qin muttered to himself, becoming more and more firm in his original plan.

Everyone slowly moved forward, patrolled the Xiongguan Pass of Pegasus Ranch, and saw that the city wall was built according to the mountain, and the rock was built, and the situation was steep and winding along the terrain. The rock behind the city is exposed and the corners are prominent, and it is difficult for birds to cross.

The procession crossed the river through the drawbridge into the city, and most of the bridge guards were awe-inspiring, with their swords unsheathed and bows wound, and the atmosphere was solemn, giving people the feeling that a great enemy was coming.

"There have been too many recent changes, so everyone is wary of outsiders." The chief butler Shang Zhen politely bowed his hand to Li Qin and explained slightly apologetically.

Li Qin's jaw was noncommittal, and he didn't know whether he recognized it or didn't care, maybe he had other ideas. Everyone in the ranch only felt that Li Qin's face was calm, and his joy and anger were invisible, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

After entering the city, there is a wide ramp that extends upwards to the inner fort where the highest farm owner lives, and the houses on both sides are continuous, and they are connected to the ramp by branch roads, which is characteristic of a mountain town.

People and vehicles come and go on the road, just like a thriving big city, the children are more frolicking in groups, so that the visitor's eyes are wide open, and they are amazed, they can't imagine that there is such a simple blessed land in such a troubled world, and there is still the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is simple and elegant.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of stones, the model is magnificent, the atmosphere is simple, and there is a clear difference from the outside world. Everyone traveled all the way, but saw the bell pavilion, the archway, the door was heavy, and the simplicity showed the heroic spirit of the city builder.

And the inner fort is even more large-scale, the main building has five halls, and there is a side hall corridor. The large hut is in an orderly manner, decorated with garden flowers and trees, small bridges and waterfalls, elegant and pleasant.

The living place of the owner Shang Xiuxun is the Bird Park, located in the middle of the inner fort, consisting of more than 30 houses of various types, surrounded by wind and fire walls, and is a brick and wood structure building group.

Due to the high position of the estate, you can see the endless pasture beauty under Pegasus City from time to time, and it becomes more and more vivid under the bright sunlight.

Li Qin and others under the guidance of the stewards, through the front yard, came to the bird garden, but saw that the main buildings such as the hall and other main buildings use both the bucket type and the beam frame structure, with the beautifully carved beam eaves components and the gorgeous and changeable corridor front hanging, strengthening the sense of depth, under the background of the garden, giving people a bright, transparent, and deep feeling.

In front of the main hall, under the five-story staircase made of white marble, a beautiful black hair with thousands of manners poured down on her knife-like fragrant shoulders like two small waterfalls, so beautiful that she could almost compete with Wan Wan stood on the spot.

Her delicate outfit accentuates her outstanding face and tanned and shiny skin, exuding a scorching youth and enviable sense of health.

Her beautiful eyes are deep and unfathomable, and her thick eyelashes add to her mystique like a phoenix that ripples with the most fragrant and mellow fairy wine.

The corners of her mouth turned up, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Seeing Li Qin and the others coming from afar, he stepped forward a few times ahead and bowed to Li Qin.

"Shang Xiuxun has seen Wu Gong in the Pegasus Ranch! Fang Cai had something to do, and he couldn't greet His Majesty in time, and I ask for Wu Gong's forgiveness. Shang Xiuxun said politely. This is just a foolish explanation, Shang Xiuxun just said that, everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb and listened, and no one would delve into it - because digging deep is a matter of tearing face.

No one can be so unwise.

At that moment, Li Qin smiled lightly: "It's me who came." ”

The two sides walked into the main hall, and the guests and hosts knelt down behind the long table, greeted each other for a while, and formally introduced each other. After Shang Zhencai made a color in Shang Xiuxun, he asked Li Qin in a loud voice: "Wu Gongxin has to come to Nanjun and Jingling, and he should be busy with military affairs, why do you have time to come to my Pegasus Ranch today?" ”

"I came to visit Pegasus Ranch for two things...... First, I'm here to thank Pegasus Ranch for their support of Jingling City. If it weren't for the sons of Pegasus Ranch to support my two apprentices in defending the city, I'm afraid they would have been taken down by Du Fuwei long ago. I must bear this feeling; Second, the last time I asked my two apprentices to come here and place an order, I felt that there was something wrong...... The order at that time was no longer enough for my needs. Now that my army is expanding rapidly, I have more thirst for horses in the pasture, so I want to place an additional order on the ranch to buy more horses...... As well as a large amount of wool. ”

"War horses and wool?" Shang Xiuxun was surprised.

Li Qin bought a war horse from herself, and she could still understand it, but it was just this wool......

What can wool do?

These things are basically abandoned by people, even if they are thrown on the ground for nothing, there is no need.

Why did Li Qin ......

Could it be that he thanked himself?

No, if he were to buy wool, it would be in large quantities. Judging by the way he solemnly proposed, the purchase price of this wool may be on par with that of a war horse.

If so......

"What exactly is wool used for?" Shang Xiuxun asked involuntarily.

"Well! Let's take it one step at a time! Let's talk about War Horse ...... first" Li Qin did not answer Shang Xiuxun's words, but mentioned the matter next to him.

He was playing tricks and deliberately hung Shang Xiuxun's appetite.

This method is not clever, and Shang Xiuxun can also see it.

However, Shang Xiuxun didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and opened his mouth very elegantly: "You said that you want to increase the order for the purchase of war horses from our Pegasus Ranch, I don't know how many war horses you need?" ”

"How many horses can your ranch produce in a year? Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand? Or a million? No matter how many horses you can produce, I'm going to eat them all! Li Qin opened his mouth lightly.

"All ...... You're not kidding? Hearing Li Qin say this, Shang Xiuxun's first reaction was that Li Qin went crazy, and she was surprised at the moment, but after seeing the light but firm look on Li Qin's face, she was slightly surprised, and then whispered: "Are you sure you really want to buy them all?" ”

"Naturally! War horses are a very important resource, this kind of thing is naturally more and more of us, and it is better to have fewer and fewer enemies. I want to go north to the Central Plains to win the world, how can you say that I can let the war horse flow into the hands of others? Li Qin explained lightly.

This is a big reason why Li Qin wants to buy the Pegasus Ranch War Horse, and it is a very important reason.

"It can't be!" After listening to Li Qin's statement, the Shang Zhen steward of Pegasus Ranch was the first to object.

"Why can't it be? Isn't Pegasus Ranch a businessman? Since it is a business, then as long as someone comes to buy a war horse from you, you should sell it, as long as you sell the war horse, why bother who the person who bought your war horse is? One person buys and several buys, and it makes no difference to you at all. Li Qin smiled faintly.
