1.138 War Dividend
Before leaving, Liu Bei scratched his head and asked, "Mother, is it so obvious that I want to 'enter the knight'?" ”
"Add officials to the knighthood, and look for the marquis. It's human nature. The mother's expression said it all.
"Oh." Liu Bei was unhappy. No wonder the boys in the county know that 'the head of the grain is looking for the marquis'.
I'm not in a good mood.
Then he went to the backyard to find Su Shuang.
Liu Bei doesn't come often in the backyard. In the past, I could occasionally encounter female assassins who stopped by to go to the toilet. Now that female assassins are blatantly visiting, there is no need to go to the backyard toilet. The backyard of Liu Bei's house is the real backyard. The majestic barn and the large stables on both sides, as well as the huge horse walking field in the courtyard, are all symbols of wealth.
The green and yellow horses have given birth to several litters. There are also foals growing into the troughs. Liu Bei's horses are still the ones sold by Zhang Shiping. The horses sold from Youbeiping County were handed over to the Wuhuan herdsmen in Xilinyi for grazing. Of the more than 1,000 horses seized from the Zahu horse thieves, except for a few who were seriously injured and could not be ridden, they were used for breeding, and the rest were handed over to the tribe. It was kept in the large stable of the martial arts arena by a special person, and was ready to expand the cavalry. The martial arts arena is much wider than the backyard of Liu Bei's house.
Su Shuang and Huang Xu are weeding. Liu Bei rushed over to help.
Huang Xu was worried that he hadn't finished his homework in the past few days, and when he saw Liu Bei coming to help, he went to Tai Shici to study together.
Liu Bei's figure has gradually become and his strength is good. The two-stone strong bow can open the full moon and pierce the bullseye with an arrow. Gongsun's fencing with him is also difficult to win lightly.
The straw was crushed and finely sifted, and beans, bran, and alfalfa from the Western Regions were added to Liu Bei's trial. Su Shuang said that it is better than wheat straw.
Dozens of troughs are fed, and it is definitely a hard work. Su Shuang and Liu Bei were happy to do it. Su Shuang loves horses like crazy. The horse Liu Bei should cherish himself. Naturally, I don't feel tired. Qing Yu and Huang Bi are quite human. When I saw Liu Bei, I was very intimate. Even the young horse left for the lead like to lean in front of Liu Bei.
After eating and drinking, take a walk. Promotes digestion. Don't run too fast, jog is advisable.
The first thing Su Shuang does when he gets up every day is to feed the horses. After eating the forage for a stick of incense, start walking the horse. After walking for half an hour, the horses are bathed, brushed, and washed to prevent rotting hooves, and brought back to the stable to rest. In another hour, the most important riding training will be.
At noon, they took back to their respective stalls and rested with food. The sun goes down and the horse is walked a second time. The time is the same as in the morning. In the evening, when the hired sect has finished eating, the horses will be fed. And light the mosquito repellent grass rope to prevent mosquito and fly bites and infection with epidemics.
This is basically Su Shuang's life all day.
It is rare for Liu Bei to be free today. This is with Su Shuang, walking horses in the backyard.
The beehive on the fourth floor of the warehouse building has sixteen boxes of bees. Today, the weather is fine, and most of the bees are lying in the hives to avoid the cold, but three or two of them come out to collect honey. Can plum blossoms be picked too?
Liu Bei saw it for the first time.
There are a lot of stables in the stables. My mother gave her a name. Liu Bei can also recognize it. The largest green horse can be ridden in the New Year. When the time comes, it will be sent and pulled. It is said that the master Le Yin, who is leading the recruitment, is in the Lousang academic arena and is studying under the great Confucian Chen Yu. I don't know if I want to ask him, can I say that I can do it?
Never mind. It seems that it is difficult for some strong people to do this.
After the year, it was the third year of Xiping. Liu Bei was thirteen years old. He is much larger than his age. The soft ladder under the saddle went up another step, and his feet landed firmly on the stirrups. The stirrups were still slightly raised, and in any case, in another year the horse would be able to ride normally.
In this year, Cao Cao was recommended as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang. As soon as Cao took office, he ordered to make "five-color sticks" and hang them around the yamen. No matter how powerful or powerful, once they violate the criminal law, they will be killed. At that time, the uncle of the eunuch Xiao Huangmen Jianshuo, who was deeply favored by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, died under Cao Cao's "five-color stick". Cao Cao's strict law enforcement and iron-faced selflessness shocked the tyrannical and idle high-ranking officials and nobles who were rampant and idle in the capital under the emperor's nose. Social order has been greatly purged, and since then, "the Beijing teacher has collected traces, and there are no crazy people".
Liu Bei didn't know about these things that happened in the Luoyang court. For the whole New Year, they were cleaning up the city.
Unlike in the previous invasions, most of them were killed by bows and arrows. This time, most of the horse thieves were hacked to death by the sword and shield hands. There are many minced meat left in the horns, and before the heat causes the plague, Liu Bei ordered each family to clean it carefully without mentioning it.
The most valuable of the trophies is naturally the war horse. The horse thief's war horses are the same as the miscellaneous beards, mostly mixed breeds, although they don't know the breed, but they are quite good. Not only is it good at Mercedes, but it can also carry weight. Zhang Shiping estimated that most of them were high-grade war horses of 50,000 yuan. Among them, the war horse ridden by the fine rider can be used as a top war horse worth 100,000 yuan. Chief Hu's green horse is a fine horse worth fifty gold.
It's the same price as Huang Zhong's dragon?
Zhang Shiping solved Liu Bei's doubts. If it weren't for the gallop of Chief Hu for a day and a night, the horse would be quite tired. Huang Zhong wants to kill his master in one go, it is not easy!
I see!
In addition to horses, the second largest entry is actually the equipment of horse thieves. The big coat on the back, the leather armor on the body, and the clothes on the war horse are all good fur. The skin is wrapped in a whole mink! These more than 1,000 sets of fur winter clothes alone made Liu Bei make a lot of money.
It's really a Hu man who is 'hairy for clothes'.
In addition, the 'fine gold and iron' on the horse thief is the third largest harvest.
The weapons in his hands and the gold ornaments on his body are all 'fine gold and good iron'.
All the pure gold was smelted and cast into horseshoe gold cakes. I won more than 1,000 gold cakes! In other words, each of the horse thieves had a pound of gold ornaments on them! Headwear, earrings, neck ornaments, waist ornaments, and all kinds of decorations are available. It shows that these horse thieves usually do a lot of evil and are quite wealthy.
The good iron is also fully refined. There are 20,000 catties. All of them are cast into flower iron and steel ingots for later use.
From time to time, there are rumors in the city that he picked up a finger and became rich overnight, and the finger of a horse thief is naturally worthless. The key is the huge gold and gemstone ring on the finger, which is truly extraordinary. In the gold ring alone, Liu Bei has seen the beast-faced gold ring, the sheep gold ring, and quite a lot of gold rings inlaid with lapis lazuli, turquoise and other gemstones, as well as the huge lapis lazuli gold ring on Chief Hu's finger from the Western Regions.
In short, they have all become Liu Bei's collection.
The bounty for the generals was obtained from the horse thief. After all the rewards, there are still 1,000 horseshoe gold cakes left in the house. It's just too profitable.
Liu Bei also tasted the dividends of war for the first time.
At the end of the first month, the trumpet sounded again.
Liu Bei hurriedly rushed to the martial arts arena and looked into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, a white snowfield with a winding black line is coming along the official road towards Lousang.
Monoculars, it doesn't seem that difficult.
All you need to do is find two crystals to grind. When the black line became thicker and thicker, Huang Zhong said in one sentence: It is the convoy.
Motorcade?
Liu Bei was stunned. Could it be that Luoyang is coming?
No way. It's also too fast.
When the convoy approached, there was a reward for the assassination, all of which were Hu people's tents and high cars. I asked the coachman, and he said that he was from Ueya-gun.
Upper Valley County?
