"Ping Gongzi has led the army to break through the Tiger Village, captured alive in poison and Mo Ri, and got 40 million money," After a while, a herald was brought in and bowed to report.

According to the rules, the chief general and the troops must send troops back on time to report the real-time marching situation, and Liu Ping is no exception.

Cao Cao pinched his beard and glanced at the crowd of civil and martial arts, his face showed joy, and he seemed to show off a little: "Hmm! Ping'er has never been worried. ”

He originally wanted to send someone to send a secret report to Liu Ping, so that he could be careful not to come in the future, but Liu Ping had already captured the first brave general of the grassland alive, and got 40 million money out of thin air.

For other generals, such an achievement is definitely worth writing about, but for Liu Ping, it is as easy as handwriting.

Isn't it worth showing off if you have a son-in-law like this? If you have the ability, you can also recruit such a capable son-in-law.

"Ping'er, this guy is a bit too much," Cao Chun saw that the eldest brother was in a good mood, and joked with a slight sourness: "He can still make meritorious contributions when he goes to buy a horse, so what else can other people do?"

Everyone agreed, smiling and nodding.

Cao Cao laughed heartily and said, "Everyone has their own ability, and no one is stopping you from making meritorious contributions."

"Others have made meritorious contributions, but it is not as easy as that of Ping Gongzi," Guo Jia said beside him: "Since Ping Gongzi has been captured alive and Mo Ri, acting as Ping Gongzi, he must return the grassland traitor to humility."

If you are so humble, you owe Ping Gongzi a big favor, and buying a horse will naturally be smoother. ”

Everyone nodded yes one after another, in order to capture the traitor alive, it is impossible not to be grateful.

"That's nature, with Ping'er's wisdom, this doesn't need to be reminded," Cao Cao bowed slightly, and then said with a worried face: "It's just that those horses Yuan Shao is also bound to win, I'm afraid Ping'er's trip may not be smooth, I'll wait and see."

Everyone in the lobby was silent, if there was no competition, it would be easy to say, but now that there is Yuan Shao, it will be difficult to do.

After all, Yuan Shao occupies the land of the four states, and his financial resources are much greater than Cao Cao's.

……

Liu Ping, under the leadership of Fan Xian, easily found the grassland people.

In fact, Liu Ping thought too much before, although the grassland people live by water and grass, but the grassland on the grassland is uneven, and the best grassland is naturally occupied by the largest force of Qubei, and some small tribes that existed before were either exterminated or conquered, and they could only choose another piece of grassland to graze horses and sheep.

So as long as you know where the good pasture is, it's not difficult to find it.

At this time, the prairie is boundless and endless, and even if the grassland is affected by the drought this year, it is far more lush than the grassland in later generations.

In a big tent, Liu Ping saw the big man who went to the low, this official position was equivalent to the head of the Han family's palace, and he was high and powerful compared to ordinary people, so he looked extremely arrogant.

When Liu Ping revealed his identity as a subordinate official of the Cao family and proposed his intention to buy horses, the big man did not show much enthusiasm, but said in a cold tone: "You are late, those horses, King Xian has already sold them to Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan Shao."

Liu Ping's heart was cold when he heard this, he really didn't have as fast as Yuan Xi, "Then Yuan Ergongzi has already taken the horses away?" ”

"Not yet," the big man said, "But the deal has been negotiated, and the prince is feasting on the second son of Yuan at this time."

"That's easy to do, I'll say I'm here to buy a horse," Liu Ping said.

As long as Yuan Xi can still not bring the horse back, there is room for this matter to turn around, and he will snatch the horse over whatever he says.

"Are you willing to pay a high price?" Dadanghu's eyes lit up and he asked.

In fact, Liu Ping didn't want to give up a penny, but he couldn't say it, he nodded and said: "Exactly, and there is a gift for the Right Xian King."

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll go to Tongyu," the big pawn said in a continuous voice and withdrew.

At this time, there was a banquet in the main tent of Qubei, and the Qubei who was sitting on the main seat was hanging a strip of cloth on his arm, and he was entertaining Yuan Xi and Xu You, but there was not much joy on his face.

Qubei has had a lot of troubles in recent days, first he found out that his favorite side concubine had an affair with his first general and Mo Ri, and then Mo Ri rebelled and plotted to assassinate him, but fortunately he had a big life, although he was seriously injured but escaped with his life.

Although he had ordered the concubine to be put to death, the green hat was worn after all, and the adulterer fled without him, which made him lose face.

Coupled with the drought in the grasslands this year, he had to sell his 3,000 war horses in exchange for grain to feed his tribe.

Now that he has finally waited for the buyer, Yuan Xi in order to show his ability to his father, not only did the beauties prepared by his father not be handed over to Qubei, but he also maliciously lowered the price by taking advantage of the mentality of being eager to make a move, and cut the price of each horse to 25,000 yuan each.

There is no choice but to accept the pain, and the mood is naturally not happy.

The reason why Yuan Xi was invited to the banquet was for Yuan Shao's sake, and he couldn't lose his courtesy.

"The second son is extremely shrewd, he bought my good horse at such a low price, and when he returns to Yecheng, General Yuan will be satisfied," he dripped blood in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

After all, his territory borders Bingzhou, and he will have to deal with Yuan Shao in the future.

"This is thanks to King Xian's generosity," Yuan Xi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't suppress the smug look on his face.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, Yuan Xi was born rich and handsome, with red lips and white teeth.

It was inevitable that he would buy a horse at such a low price on this trip, and that he would be praised by his father when he returned.

As long as he proves his ability to his father, he may be able to take the position of son in the future on his head.

"I didn't expect King Xian to be so generous, but it's a pity that there are too few horses for sale this time, if there are others, you might as well sell them together."

Seeing that he was cheap and obedient, and the roots of his hateful teeth were itching, if he hadn't been in a hurry to wait for the money, how could he sell the good horse in his hand so easily?

"I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later," Qu Beiqiang squeezed out a smile and raised his wine bowl to beckon: "Drink bar."

At this time, the big pawn entered the tent and bowed down and said: "King Yuxian, Cao Cao's envoy has arrived, and he will also buy a horse."

"Cao Cao's envoy?" Qubei's eyes suddenly glowed golden, put down the wine bowl and stood up and said happily: "Hurry up, please!"

As long as there are competitors, the price is easy to negotiate.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment while holding the wine bowl, and said hurriedly: "King Xian, you have obviously negotiated with you, do you have other horses?"

"This king only has these three thousand horses," Qu smiled slyly: "But although this king has discussed with the second son, the second son has not paid, and this deal has not been concluded."

"No, then you can pay now," Yuan Xi said busily when he saw that things had changed.

"I'm not busy," Qubei calmed down, "Now there are buyers, and naturally the one with the highest price wins." ”

"King Xian, how can you ......"

Yuan Xi was anxious and wanted to reprimand him for being humble and untrustworthy, and reversed himself, but Xu You secretly tugged the corner of Yuan Xi's clothes next to him.

This is on the territory of despicability, if you annoy this rough man, who knows if he will turn his face and be ruthless.

Not long after, Liu Ping was brought in by the big pawn.

"I've seen King Xian!" Liu Ping Shili said: "I came to buy horses on the order of Cao Sikong. ”

Liu Ping really saw the past, and it was when he was welcoming the Son of Heaven.

At that time, he went to Bei and Li Le to lead the army to rescue him, trying to get some benefits, but he didn't expect to be killed by Li Dao, and the whole army was almost wiped out, and Liu Ping was by the side of the Son of Heaven at that time.

However, he obviously didn't have much impression of Liu Ping, so he personally greeted him and greeted him warmly: "You're welcome, please take a seat."

Those who come to the grassland are all friends of this king, so let's do three bowls first. ”

As he spoke, he instructed the maid to put a wine bowl and a large piece of mutton on Liu Ping.

Yuan Xi, who was next to him, glared at Liu Ping angrily, full of hostility towards this newcomer.

Liu Ping grinned at the wine without drinking a bowl, it was really not very delicious, but fortunately, he didn't force it.

"How much money is Cao Gong going to pay?" Qubei asked.

"Did you hear that King Xian offered 30,000 yuan a horse?" Liu Ping said calmly: "We accept this price."

It's impossible to make Liu Ping pay a high price, so it's not a big deal?

There has always been only Liu Ping who has cheated others, and no one has ever been able to cheat him.

However, at this time, Liu Ping was worried that Qubei had already made a deal with Yuan Xi, so it would be difficult to do, after all, Yuan Xi arrived before him.

Unexpectedly, Qubei agreed: "Okay, Cao Gong is really arrogant, this King Ma Ben has sold it to you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Xi next to him, you look at others, you don't even have a price, which is like you, it's just taking advantage of people's danger.

Liu Ping couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect to buy the horse so easily.

What did Yuan Xi talk about with Qubei here?

"I'm also willing to pay 30,000 yuan," Yuan Xi hurriedly said, at this time he couldn't care about the price, buying a horse is the first thing, otherwise how to explain to his father when he goes back?

"This price was proposed by the envoy of Minister Cao first," Qubei glanced at Yuan Xi with a little disgust, thinking to himself, why did you go earlier? Get lost!

At this time, Xu You secretly gave Yuan Xi a look, if these horses were bought by the Cao family, they would not have completed the task.

"In addition to money, there are ten beauties to give away," Yuan Xi threw out a big temptation.

The wind and sun on the grassland are fast, and the general women have dark and rough skin, relatively speaking, the Han women have a much more delicate complexion, which is very attractive to the grassland men.

It's just that after all, he is the male lord of the grassland, how can he change his face again for a few women?

When he was muttering, Liu Ping also said: "There are also gifts for King Xian below." ”

"Is it also a beauty?" Go humblely said with a smile.

"It's a man, a man that the virtuous king is interested in," Liu Ping smiled mysteriously.

"Men?" Qubei's face changed suddenly, isn't it a joke that he is as good as Longyang?

Qubei had a slight annoyance on his face: "How can this king ever be interested in men?" ”

If Liu Ping hadn't just helped him raise the price, he would have turned his face a long time ago.

At this time, Yuan Xi said with ill intentions beside him: "Give it to King Xian's man, you are really bold, but I am very interested in it, what kind of man do you want to give to King Xian." ”

In his eyes, Liu Ping is simply dying, after all, there are a few who have the good of Longyang, and there are groups of lowly wives and concubines, obviously they don't have that kind of hobby.

"As long as you bring it up, King Xian will know it at a glance," Liu Ping didn't know what Mo Ri had done before, but thinking that Mo Ri had betrayed Qubei and fled after all, he had recaptured it, and Qubei should be satisfied.

Qubei nodded, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Ping's gourd.

If it was really the kind of good-looking man, he would immediately turn his face.

After a while, Mo Ri was pushed in.

"Is that you?"

When he saw Mo Ri, he was immediately furious, stood up and gritted his teeth.

This guy cuckolded him and plotted to assassinate him, causing him to lose face, and he still has strips of cloth hanging from his arms.

It's just that this guy escaped and couldn't eat his flesh raw, which made him regret it to the core.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ping was arrested.

"God really has eyes, did you ever think that there would be today?"

Qubei grabbed the short knife that cut mutton on the table, walked towards Mo Ri with a cruel smile, stabbed him in the stomach, and twisted it hard to vent his anger.

And Mo Ri knew that he could not escape the blame, and it was useless to beg for mercy, so he snorted and fell to the ground with wide eyes.

"Thank you for catching the traitor for this king," after killing the enemy, he wiped the blood on his hands and looked at Liu Ping gratefully.

Liu Ping smiled lightly and said: "It's just a gesture, why bother?" ”

Since he didn't blink his eyes, he couldn't wait to cut his hand and Mo Ri, which shows how much he hates this person, which means that he gave the right gift.

Yuan Xi was stunned on the spot, just like an ordinary wooden man.

Only then did he understand that Liu Ping's so-called sending a man to be inferior meant this, looking humble and grateful, the man Liu Ping sent seemed to be really better than his ten beauties, and he was afraid that he would have to sell the horse to Liu Ping.

"King Xian, I am willing to give 35,000 yuan a horse," Yuan Xi said hurriedly.

At this time, he could no longer care about the price, but only wanted to be able to buy a good horse in the hands of the lowly.

"Thirty-five thousand?" Qubei hesitated, Yuan Xi took the initiative to raise the price, he should be satisfied, but Liu Ping had just given him such a big gift, how could he go back on his word?

When he was hesitating, Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said, "If King Xian is still not satisfied, he will make a wish to pay 40,000 yuan a horse."

"Forty thousand?" The muscles on his face moved, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

This price is enough to make Qubei moved, although Liu Ping captured the traitor for him, but the same horse was sold for an extra 30 million yuan, and he obviously couldn't resist this temptation.

He glanced at Liu Ping and said embarrassedly, "I wonder if Gong Cao is willing to add money?"

Liu Ping shook his head, adding money to buy a horse would really be a big wrong, not to mention looking at Yuan Xi's inevitable appearance, if he added money, Yuan Xi would have to add more.

Fighting the price with Yuan Xi, he doesn't have any advantage.

"Deal!" Qubei looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Prepare the money, tomorrow the money and goods will be cleared."

"It's ready!"

Although Yuan Xi bought a horse as he wished, he couldn't help but drip blood in his heart when he thought that it was 10,000 yuan more than the original price.

He couldn't help glaring at Liu Ping fiercely, if this person hadn't suddenly come to stir up the situation, he wouldn't have turned his original great achievement into a great mistake.

At this time, he felt ashamed of Liu Ping, and said after a while: "You are kind to this king, but this king did not sell you the horse, so let's do it, this king will give you a grassland woman as compensation."

That woman is more beautiful than the Gesang flowers on the grassland, you will definitely like it, and according to your Han people, she is still a virgin. ”

"Thank you King Xian for your kindness," Liu Ping didn't buy a horse, he felt very interested, and he was not interested in the so-called grassland beauty.

No matter how beautiful the prairie beauty is, it is not as beautiful as the warbler Yanyan in his house.

Liu Ping declined the good intention to stay and drink in Beibei, and returned to his tent in a huff, Tai Shici and others surrounded him, and when he heard Liu Ping say what happened just now, the generals were immediately angry.

They scolded that going to be humble was simply an open-eyed for money, and they didn't care about the friendship they sent to traitors.

"Master, we have a thousand elites under our command, it is better to wait for Yuan Xi to receive the horse, and rob Yuan Xi unknowingly, so that he can get the horse without spending a penny," Tai Shi Ci eagerly suggested.

Although Yuan Xi also has soldiers around him, he must not be the opponent of Cao's army, if Tai Shici sends troops to rob hard, there is a chance that he will succeed.

"No way!" Liu Ping flatly refused: "This kind of thing is difficult to do without knowing the ghosts, and now we urgently need to quell the Yuan Shu rebellion, and it is definitely not the best choice to provoke Yuan Shao in advance for these horses."

It is not difficult to rob Yuan Xi, but Cao Jun suddenly has so many cavalry to attack Yuan Shu, but this matter cannot be kept secret, Yuan Shao also has secret agents in Xudu, so he can naturally think that those horses of the Cao family were robbed of him.

Now that Yuan Shu's rebellion has not been pacified, it has angered Yuan Shao, a behemoth, and the brothers are attacking from the north and south, and the Cao family is absolutely difficult to resist.

"How's that to be?" Seeing that Liu Ping didn't agree with him to rob it, Tai Shi Ci scratched his head anxiously and said, "Could it be that he watched Yuan Xi buy the horse away?"

In this way, we ran for nothing, and Yuan Shao got these horses, which also boosted Yuan Shao's strength, and it was too unwilling to think about it. ”

"Let me think about it again," Liu Ping looked at the tent indifferently, and had a faint immature idea in his heart, but it was difficult to implement it without help.

In the evening, he sent a lot of beef and mutton as a reward.

At the same time, there was also a girl with five flowers.

The girl had a long figure, bright eyes and bright teeth, and her skin was not as rough as other grassland women, but fair and delicate, and she was an extremely beautiful girl, not the daughter of an ordinary herdsman at first glance.

Only now she was tied up, lying on the ground with a look of horror in her big eyes, and her towering breasts rising and falling rapidly, like a frightened fawn.

"Her name is Sanqige, and she was specially sent to serve the nobles, and the nobles don't untie the ropes for her, she will escape."

The middle-aged servant woman who sent the girl told Liu Ping, and then said viciously to the girl named Sanqige: "The master has given you to this noble man as a slave, this is your new master, you must serve with all your heart."

No matter if the master beats you and scolds you, even if he kills you, it is the master's reward, if you dare to run away again, after catching you, reward you to those rough men, and then life is better than death. ”

After a threat, the servant woman saluted Liu Shun and turned to leave, leaving only Liu Ping and the girl in the big tent.

Liu Ping remembered that Qubei once praised Sangqige as more beautiful than the Gesang flowers on the grassland, which is not true, such a posture and complexion, I am afraid that the entire grassland is top-notch.

Qubei actually gave it to him, and it seems that the guy is really embarrassed.

"Your name is Sankige?"

Liu Ping sat next to the girl and asked softly.

Sanqige thought that Liu Ping was going to make a move, so he was so frightened that he twisted his body and couldn't help moving back.

"You don't have to worry, I won't touch you."

At this time, it was already dark outside, and Liu Ping stood up and brought a horsewhip.

Sang Qige was even more frightened, and thought that Liu Ping had some special hobbies.

She was the daughter of the patriarch of a small tribe who had been conquered, and according to the rules of the steppe, after the tribe was conquered, the women naturally belonged to the victors as slaves.

Naturally, Sanqige also knew that without the protection of the clan, he would be ravaged sooner or later, and it was not surprising that he would be given as a gift.

It seems to be a blessing in misfortune to be given to such a fair-eyed boy as a slave, but I never expected that this kind-looking young man would whip her as soon as they met.

Seeing Liu Ping raise the horsewhip, Sang Qige was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, and the tears of grievance flowed out of her eyes like beads with broken threads, crossing her fair face.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", but Sang Qige didn't feel the slightest pain in his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Liu Ping's whip had whipped on a lump of mutton next to her.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Liu Ping couldn't stop slapping the lump of mutton, and at the same time pointed to Sanqige's mouth.

Sanqige was very smart, and immediately understood Liu Ping's intentions, and went to give her to Liu Ping, perhaps sending someone to hide in the distance and eavesdrop.

She quickly "ahh

Liu Ping took a full stick of incense before stopping, Rao is Sanqige pretended to scream, and his throat was hoarse.

In the dark night outside the tent, the servant woman hid far away in the grass and eavesdropped, and Sanqige's screams pierced the night sky and spread far away.

When the sound stopped, the servant woman got up and went to go to Gobei to report.

At this time, he was discussing things with the big bosses.

"King Xian, Sanqige is the most beautiful woman on the grassland, it is said that even several princes covet her beauty, why don't King Xian keep it for himself or give it to a few princes, but give it to the Cao Cao envoy?"

The big boss is very incomprehensible to the practice of humility.

"Cao Cao is now holding the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and his power is getting bigger and bigger, and we will inevitably be useful to him in the future," the old god said: "The messenger captured and Mo Ri for this king, this favor is too great, and this king did not sell the horse to him, what is it to compensate with a woman?"

What's more, for the sake of a Sanqige, their brothers are about to turn against each other, so it is better to send them away as soon as possible. ”

It turned out that after Sanqige was arrested, several adult sons who went to Bei fell in love with Sanqige's beauty, and they all wanted to keep it for themselves, and even made trouble in front of Quqige, almost fighting each other, and it was annoying to go to Bei, and it happened to take this opportunity to give Sanqige away, so no one has to worry about it, it's a hundred.

"Virtuous King Shengming!" The big boss sighed, but felt pity in his heart.

Since they were the only ones who robbed the Han family's woman, they didn't expect that the most beautiful woman in the grassland was given to a Han person.

……

In Liu Ping's big tent, Liu Ping cut Sanqige's rope with a short knife and whispered: "If you want to escape, if you are caught, there will be no good fruit to eat, it is better to leave the grassland with me, and then I will let you go."

"You really don't touch me?"

Sanqige asked suspiciously, as he moved his injured arm to move the activity.

Since she was captured, almost everyone has been worried about her body, but she never expected that she had been tied up in front of this young man and slaughtered by him, and this young man actually let her go.

"Don't worry, you'll be free," Liu Ping pulled over the felt and lay down, keeping a certain distance from Sanqige.

Sankig lay down in doubt, clutching the clothes on his chest, just in case the boy repented and pounced again.

But until the middle of the night, Liu Ping didn't move, and even made an even breathing sound, obviously asleep.

Only then did Sang Qige believe that Liu Ping really didn't plan to touch him, and he couldn't help but be greatly moved.

She got up gently, glanced at Liu Ping's young face in the dim light, and then knelt on the ground and prayed softly: Abba, my daughter has met a good person, this should be what their Han people often call a gentleman, are you bless your daughter in heaven?

My daughter misses you and her grandma so much......

Sankig prayed, tears already streaming down her white face.

At this time, there was a figure lurking in the grass outside the tent, like a wild beast ready to hunt.

It was Sankige's older brother, Butu.

The steppe is actually made up of many tribes, and Qubei is only the largest of the tribes.

It's just that he has the title of the imperial court, and many tribes submit to him, so he has become the dominant force on the grassland.

He took all the best pastures for himself, and the horses he raised were naturally wonderful.

The other tribes can only choose to graze horses and sheep in the pastures that they look down on, and the quality of the horses they raise is inevitably inferior to that of the pastures.

If there is a tribe that does not listen to the order of the debei, the debeiling will send troops to conscript, such as the tribe of Sanqige, because they did not send troops to follow when they went to Bei to escort them, they were considered to have two hearts, which led to the extinction of the tribe.

Only thirty or fifty of the thousands of people were killed, and all of them were reduced to slavery in order to raise horses.

Just now Sankig was tied up and taken away, and Butu realized that something was wrong, but there were so few of them left, and they couldn't resist being humiliated.

Fortunately, he was athletic, and it was not very strict to guard against them, so he secretly escaped and secretly followed here.

Then came the sound of whipping meat and Sankig's terrible screams.

Thinking that his flower-like sister was being beaten and ravaged by a man at this time, Butu's heart was like a knife, his eyes were split, and he slammed his fists on the ground until the handle broke, as if the pain in his hands could relieve the pain in his heart.

However, Liu Ping's tent was heavily guarded, and even if Butu was good, it was impossible for him to rush in to save people.

So he lay in ambush in the grass until the middle of the night, when he was ready to rush in and snatch his sister out, and then fled to the south overnight.

Anyway, their tribe has the art of raising horses from their ancestors, so they won't starve to death wherever they go, and it shouldn't be a problem to feed their sister.

The surrounding grass is knee-high, and the environment here is the home of a grassland man like Butu, who walks through the grass like a wild beast, and the Cao army who guards it does not notice anyone in the grass at all.

Buttu walked around the back of the tent, made a slight cut in the tent with a sharp knife, and then clenched the knife and drilled in.

He didn't stop doing anything, and was ready to kill the villain who insulted his sister directly, avenge his sister's shame and then take his sister away.
