Chapter 226: Buying Horses

According to the scout's report, Wang Yun had Chang'an's soldiers and horses focus on the west rather than Fu Lin's east. At the beginning, Fu Lin was really confused, but after Fu Lin calmed down, Fu Lin smiled and figured it out, Fu Lin thought to himself: "I see, that's fine." At least for now, we're safe. ”

Time flies, and three days pass quickly. However, according to the information reported by the scouts, coupled with the situation of Fu Lin's subordinates, Fu Lin decided to go to Pingyin County first to get some supplies, horses and carriages, otherwise these people would have to rush from Chang'an to Hanyang City, and there would be some trouble, at least without means of transportation, the speed of everyone's movement would be limited.

"Thirteen, how many people do you take to Pingyin County? Buy us some food, wagons, and horses. Also, salt and Chinese medicine, some clothes and bedding and other things, the carriage should be enough for the female dependents and the Chinese doctor, the horses should make up for the requirements of one person and two horses for our personal guards, and other things should be enough for dozens of us for a month. After Fu Lin finished speaking, he handed Wang 13 some money, these things were not a small amount, and Fu Lin did not have much money on him, so he had to give Wang 13 some gold, and told Wang 13 to be careful in everything, and to keep a low profile so as not to arouse the ideas of the officers and soldiers.

"No! Rest assured, the last general will ensure that he will not fail in his mission! Wang 13 said. Good! There you go! Go and get back quickly, and we'll set off when we get back. Fu Lin said.

In this way, Wang 13 was ordered to rush to Pingyin County with people and gold, and Fu Lin asked everyone to get ready, and we don't need to spend more time on these trivial matters.

Wang 13 took ten guards, with the gold given by Fu Lin in his arms, and rushed to Pingyin County, which was not very far from Pingyin, and after two hours of hurrying, Wang 13 and others entered Pingyin County.

After Wang Shisan and others came to Pingyin County, and when they entered the city, they were not subject to any search or resistance. "Master Tun, what should we do?" A guard said.

Wang 13 thought for a while and said, "In this way, we will go our separate ways. You take two people and go to buy grain, wine, meat, salt, and so on. After the purchase was completed, they rushed to the west gate of Pingyin County to gather five miles away, and remember to be careful not to be followed. "Wang 13 said to a chief, and Wang 13 gave this chief enough gold, among these guards left by Fu Lin, they are basically backbones, they are either chiefs or captains, they are all brothers who were born and died with Fu Lin all year round, these people are not only absolutely loyal, but also crawled out of the pile of dead, and their military literacy is very good." Promise! The chief replied and left with the two of them.

"You take two people, go buy some clothes, bedding and other our necessities, remember to buy more lighters, this time our fire knives and flints are basically consumed. The meeting place remains the same, five miles outside the west gate of Pingyin County. Wang 13 said to another Wu Commander. After saying that, he also gave the captain a certain amount of gold. "No!" After the commander answered, he led the people away.

"The rest, follow me to buy horses." Wang 13 said, and then Wang 13 took four people and rushed to the horse market in Pingyin County.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, coupled with the death of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo has been in turmoil in the capital during this period of time, the people in the world are in turmoil, which has led to the rapid rise in some prices of the Han Dynasty, such as grain and horses. Horses are okay, people can't afford to buy them, and they don't have much use, but food can't do it! Is it okay for people to skip meals? Therefore, this big man is actually in name only.

"Old man, may I ask how to get to the horse market in Pingyin County." Wang 13 asked for directions at an old man, who looked like a common man from Pingyin County.

"If you go back to the official, the horse market is in the southwest corner of the county seat of Pingyin County, and you can see it in the past." The old man said that when he saw that Wang Shisan and the others were dressed in extraordinary clothes and armed with weapons, he thought that they were the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and he replied honestly if he didn't dare to offend.

"So may I ask the old man, if you want to buy horses and carriages, what is the current price? We don't understand the market. Wang 13 then asked, and then Wang 13 took out ten 5 baht coins, handed them to the old man, and said, "Old man, this is the money for questioning, and we will not ask for directions in vain." At the beginning, the old man didn't dare to ask for it, but later, when the old man saw that Wang Shisan and the others were sincere and not like bad people, the old man boldly accepted it.

In fact, Wang 13 did this, and it was all given to him by Fu Lin, but Wang 13 was more proficient, not as big as Fu Lin, in fact, it was already a lot to give the people ten five baht money.

Of course, the old man was happy, so he said: "Official, the market is not good now, horses are soaring, and in the horse market, you can't buy serious war horses." They are all mules and horses, and the price has risen dozens of times compared with the first few years, and now a mule and horse cost 80 to 150 yuan, depending on the age and robustness of the mule and horse. However, if you want to buy war horses, you have to find the big horse dealers in the horse market in Pingyin County, oh, that big businessman may have a way. However, Xiao Lao'er heard that everyone was worried, the first was afraid of insecurity, and those who did not have the strength did not dare to buy it, and the second price was very expensive, it was said that a war horse cost at least 200 yuan, and a better one cost 400 yuan. ”

After Wang 13 waited for the old man to finish speaking, he himself knew a lot about the horse market, and then Wang 13 asked again: "What about the carriage?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said: "Although the carriages are all dragged by mules and horses, due to the role of the carriage, there are several mules and carriages that are different, and by the way, there is also the degree of luxury of the carriage, and the price ranges from one hundred to three hundred yuan. Sir, do you have any more questions? Do you think I can take the money? Although the old man had already received Wang Thirteen's reward, he had no bottom in his heart, so he asked Wang Thirteen carefully.

"Old man, don't worry. You can get this money, but it's not peaceful these years, and you have to put your old money well! Wang 13 said with a smile.

"Thank you, master, the little old man has retired." The old man said and saluted Wang Thirteen. "Let's go, go to the horse market!" Wang 13 said that with the old man's guidance and introduction, Wang 13 and the others had a further understanding of the road to the horse market and the market of the horse market.

The time is not big, Wang 13 and others came to the horse market, this horse market actually has to charge to enter, although there is not much money, but there are a lot of people who come to the horse market, this money accumulates a lot, naturally it is also a way to make a fortune.

Entering the horse market, Wang 13 and others, one person paid two five baht coins of the entrance fee, they collected this money very cleverly, two five baht coins for the people, that is not a small amount, two five baht coins, at least enough for ordinary people to eat for a day or two, the people are naturally reluctant to spend this money to go to the horse market. But you have to know who are the people who come to the horse market, these people are willing to buy horses for a few hundred dollars, and the entrance fee of two dollars is nothing.

Without further ado, Wang 13 and the others entered the horse market, but they had never been here, so they were naturally not very familiar with it, and it was not like the wine shop inn with attendants to guide the way, so Wang 13 and the others took a little effort to ask for directions, and only then did they find what the old man said, Yu Da Shang, who can sell war horses.

Wang 13 spent some words, of course, the money was not spent, so he bought four carriages and a dozen war horses.
