Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Yang Chapter 28 The Way of the Enemy
Hearing that Southern Eagle was talking about fifteen hundred horses, Aquix and Pulcher changed color together.
Pulcher blurted out, "What? Does Your Excellency General also want to buy a war horse? He was amazed.
He looked at Aquix a little helplessly, and said in amazement: "But, these war horses ......."
Aquix lowered his head weakly, not daring to meet Nanying's eyes.
"What's going on?" Nan Ying's heart "clicked", and he sank his face and said: "Mr. Aquix, don't you come thousands of miles to find the general, and you don't even have the intention of selling the war horse to the general?" Do you look down on the general? ”
"The general is angry, the general has misunderstood!" Akix heard Nanying's displeasure and smiled bitterly: "How dare you underestimate you?" It's just that in the past two years, you have purchased more than 100 good horses from the disdain, and in the next time, only when you have no need for armaments, and secondly, you are worried about your financial constraints, so you ......"
He looked at Nanying's increasingly ugly face, and said in a panic: "But when I came this time, I really sincerely asked the general for help, and I was willing to thank you with a hundred good horses!" ”
A hundred horses for a favor? What a big deal! Nanying not only did not like it in his heart, but he felt a sense of foreboding. This Aquix has always acted cautiously, and it has been very rare to do a business of two hundred horses in the past, but what is the reason that drives him to dare to make such a huge deal with Pulcher?
"Humph!" Nanying said solemnly: "Mr. Aquix, I just said that you originally regarded Benjiang as a friend...... Since you don't want to be open and honest, then, send off! ”
With that, he turned around and left.
"General, General!" This hand bluffed Aquix and Pulcher together, and Aquix even grabbed Southern Hawk and almost knelt down.
After a lot of hardships, it was not easy to find a "safe passage", if the general in front of him was angry and left alone, will this big man's business continue in the future?
"Who are these horses intended to be sold to?" Nanying stopped and asked, "Aquix, if you tell the truth today, you and I will still be friends in the future, otherwise...... Hum! ”
Listening to his heavy cold snort, cold sweat poured down Aquix's forehead, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Don't be afraid to tell you frankly!" Nan Ying sneered: "Although the general has many friends, there are also many mortal enemies, if you sell the war horse to them, don't you intend to go against the general?" ”
"Yes! Be! I must tell the truth below, but I really don't know if the buyer is the general's enemy! Aquix was so frightened that his voice trembled, of course he understood the power of this, and he said in a panic: "Among this batch of war horses, five hundred of the thousand inferior war horses are provided to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in the West Garden stables...... Speaking of which, this is still the kindness that the general rewarded back then! ”
He saw that Nanying's face was slightly softened, and said: "The buyers of the other five hundred horses are the Yuan family of Luoyang, the Yang family of Hongnong, and the general He Da......"
Saying that, Aquix said cautiously: "I heard that these big families and wealthy families have a close relationship with the general, right?" ”
"Hongnong Yang family? Ben didn't know him! Nan Ying said this, and his tone softened. The three contemporary wealthy families have only bought 500 war horses in total, which is understandable, even if the Hongnong Yang family had had some unpleasant past affairs with themselves for the treasure of the Yellow Turban Army, after all, there is no deep hatred and hatred, and they can't be bothered with them.
"And the five hundred great war horses? You said that you would give Ben a hundred horses, and another four hundred! Nanying continued to ask: "Who is the big man of the buyer?" ”
"Big shots?" Aquix was stunned, he shook his head and said, "I've never heard this person's name in your country before, maybe it's just ......"
"His name!" Nan Ying interrupted unceremoniously: "I will know this person's real name and surname!" ”
"Gongsun Chan!" Aquix looked at Nanying with some guilt: "It can't be the general's enemy, right?" ”
"Is that him?" Nanying lost his voice. Is Gongsun Chan finally coming to the surface? Yes, with the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, not only the white horse general will emerge, but even Liu Daer and his two fierce general brothers will also make their debut!
Hey! Nan Ying involuntarily twitched the corners of his mouth, among the warlords in the late Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zhan can be said to be a rare heroic figure, if he hadn't met Yuan Shao, the land of Hebei would definitely be his world, and even rewrite history.
"General, is there no problem?" Aquix and Pulcher exchanged uneasy looks, smiling at each other. As caravan leaders who specialize in traveling between the Han Dynasty, they must of course understand the basic knowledge of the Han Dynasty, and they are naturally in awe of this famous Eagle Yang Zhonglang general.
"How much do these horses cost today?" Nanying replied, "Is it still a million dollars?" ”
"Of course not!" Aquix was a little confused, but he still said honestly: "Your country has been fighting in recent years, which has caused prices to skyrocket, and we dare not collect money anymore, so these war horses are all priced in gold......
"Eighty gold! Eighty gold for a horse! He made a gesture and smiled, "This price should be fair, right?" ”
Eighty gold? That's 800,000 yuan that year! Nanying couldn't help but be stunned, and then understood that it was not the price of horses that fell, but that as the entire Han Dynasty and even the whole world fell into the flames of war, various currencies were depreciating to varying degrees, which led to the rise of gold, a hard currency that did not fall, and became a recognized currency in the world.
"This is the price you gave Gongsun Zhan?" He pretended to be careless and said, "What about the general?" It won't be the same price, right? ”
Nanying's mouth was calm, but there was a strong uneasiness in his heart. Eighty gold each, four hundred war horses are more than 30,000 gold, and it is mediocre that several wealthy families can come up with this money, after all, in order to atone for his son's sins, Cao Song, the chief lieutenant, can take out 10,000 gold without changing his face, but what about Gongsun Zhan? He is now at most a county magistrate, how can he have a lot of financial resources? Is there some mystery in this?
"Of course not!" Pulcher didn't wait for Aquix to speak, he stretched out his hand and patted his chest and said, "The general is not only our friend, but also our benefactor, and there are countless places that will rely on the general in the future." If the general buys it with funds, he is willing to sell it at a unit price of sixty gold! ”
Aquix immediately understood that it seemed that the general was not financially constrained as he imagined, and he hurriedly agreed: "Exactly, exactly!" ”
"Good! He's a happy man! Nanying smiled unexpectedly and said: "Having said that, Ben Jiang also knows that the merchant is the most important promise, and since you have already bought it this time, it is not good for Ben to intervene...... The next transaction will be at this price! ”
"Of course, Ben will not break his promise to you!" He waved his hand and said angrily: "Once the trade route is opened in the territory of the Qiang people, Ben will provide long-term protection!" Only, there is one condition! ”
Aquix and Pulcher were overjoyed at the same time, and said in unison: "Please command, General!" ”
"This condition may seem a bit against professional ethics, but it is your obligation as friends!" Nan Ying said lightly: "In the future, but there is a large amount of war horse business entering the country, you must provide the true identity of the buyer to Ben General...... This is also to know oneself and the other, this condition is not too much, right? ”
Aquix and Pulcher hesitated for a moment, then bowed together and said, "This is an obligatory matter!" ”
They all thought to themselves, as long as you don't get in the way of us trading with others, what's the harm in telling you this information?
"Good!" Nanying finally showed a smile: "Come on!" All guests are invited to come in for a drink! ”
After a while, just as a feast was being held in the tent to wash the dust for Sun Ce, Guishuang, and Daqin's distant guests, a figure quietly slipped out.
He found a place to hide, and then reached into his lips and whistled.
"Lord!" Zao Yi appeared from behind a military tent and said calmly: "I don't know what kind of urgency is it that you made a secret word during the banquet and ordered your subordinates to leave the table halfway?" ”
"You are wronged, don't eat this banquet for the time being!" Nanying said a little gloomy: "Now, you immediately go and arrange the manpower yourself...... Urgently mobilize all the merchants who listen to the wind to monitor these merchants of Guishan and Daqin around the clock, and at the same time, send someone to summon Sun Binshuo's subordinates, secretly lurk near the camp, and listen to the dispatch at any time! ”
"Why?" Zao Yu was suddenly startled: "Could it be that the lord wants to destroy them?" Subordinates only when you have no trouble for them! ”
"What am I going to do for them?" Nanying said angrily: "I have no grudges with me in the past, and I have no grudges in the near future!" What's more, in the future, a lot of things will fall on them, especially the concrete... How the adhesive is made, you have to count on them! ”
"So, you're just spying on them? Why do you need to transfer Sun Binshuo's people? Zao Yi was a little shocked and said: "These people are not visible, and their existence is to help the lord eradicate those thorns in his eyes!" ”
"Silly boy, what do you know?" Nan Ying was silent for a while before he said: "There are so many big things that happened in the north just now, the rebellion has swarmed, and the alien Koubian, but a small Gongsun Zhan can actually take out such a large sum of gold to buy war horses!" Don't you think there's something weird about that? ”
"Gongsun Zhan? This name sounds familiar! Zao Yu was a little puzzled: "Who is he?" However, no matter who he is, as the lord said, he should be a small person, why does the lord be so moved? ”
"This person should be the county magistrate of Zhuoxian County now, right?" Nan Ying nodded Zao You's head: "It's exactly the rebel area of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, it's a little strange!" Since the general wants to point to Hebei, he must always grasp the military situation! ”
"Or that problem..."Zao Yi was stunned and said: "To find out the military situation, my subordinates will send Tingfeng to follow those horse merchants all the way to the north, so why do you want to summon Sun Binshuo's people?" ”
"Boy's head is rusty?" Nanying slapped his head with a palm: "Do you know why Ben didn't intercept those four hundred war horses halfway?" ”
"It's because we don't have enough gold...... Wrong! Zao You suddenly shook violently, and he said in shock: "It's because of the lord, you don't plan to spend money at all, right?" ”
"Of course! Although Lao Tzu and that Gongsun Chan have no grudges or hatred, they are not relatives, this guy may still be our great enemy in the future! Nanying smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile that made Zao Yi shudder: "Why did Lao Tzu save money for him?" ”
"Send someone to spy on their transactions all the way!" He said fiercely: "As long as you find out the source of their gold and the purpose of buying war horses, you can ......"
Saying that, Nan Ying made a palm down movement, and Mu Wu said expressionlessly: "Only those war horses can play a greater role in our hands, and the soldiers can reduce more casualties!" ”
"And that's not all!" He said coldly: "In the future, anyone who buys war horses in large quantities, as long as they are not our friends, can refer to it!" ”
"No wonder you're going to get the dealers to give you information about the buyer? Lord, you are really ......" Zao only stayed for a long time before shaking his head and said: "You are really getting more and more insidious!" ”
"Hahaha!" Nan Ying let out a low laugh, and he gently patted Zao You's shoulder: "The way to fight the enemy, how can you do it without being insidious...... Thank you for the compliment! ”
