A few days later, Cao Cao saw Cheng Yu bring back a thousand war horses.

Dao: Zhang Jie seems to be very fond of Zhongde, and he didn't even talk about the price, so he sent the horses first!

Cheng Yudao: It's not Yu's face, but Zhang Jie's betrayal of the owner's favor, and Zhang Jie hopes that the lord will use pig iron to exchange. But it didn't say how much iron was used. It seems that Zhang Jie still trusts the lord quite a lot. Haha, he Zhang Jie trusts us, we can't ask for it in vain, Zhongde sent someone to send some pig iron over, how much to send, you can do it, just according to the market price. Promise!

Not long after, Jiang Gan came to Xuzhou with five hundred war horses, and Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard that Zhang Jie's envoy had also sent five hundred war horses. Xuzhou has everything, but it lacks horses, so let Jiang Gan see him immediately.

Jiang Gan entered the hall. Yuan Shaodao: Mr. Ziyi is too polite, is my Shimin virtuous brother okay?

Jiang Gandao: Duke Xie Minggong cares, my lord is fine, my lord sent me to send 500 war horses, to express his gratitude to Duke Yuan for sending the beauty! There is also to ask Yuan Gong if he still wants war horses, my lord has some horses to sell, and Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu to buy a thousand and leave. If Ming Gong wants to buy it, he can send an envoy to Yecheng to discuss it in detail.

Of course Yuan Shao thought about it, and he dreamed that he could still sit still when he heard that Cao Cao bought a thousand horses.

He said: Buy, tomorrow I will send a messenger to Yecheng to talk to the people of the world.

Jiang Gandao: That's good, let's go back to the post house first, if the Ming Gong has something to do, you can send someone to notify you. Yuan Shaodao: Mr. Ziyi can go down to rest, and he will inform Mr. of something.

After Jiang Gan left, Yuan Shao said: What do you think of Zhang Jie's sale of war horses?

Guo Tudao: Zhang Jie must have captured a lot of war horses in the north this time, otherwise who would want to sell war horses! No matter what Zhang Jie's mentality is, we have to buy it, everything in Xuzhou is good, but there is a shortage of horses, Cao Cao originally had 2,000 cavalry, and now he has another 1,000 horses. There are only 3,000 cavalry, our soldiers are not less than him, but the cavalry does not even have 1,000 cavalry, this is not good, if there is a war with Cao Cao, it is easy for the opponent to send cavalry to run out of food and grass. But this Zhang Jie is really generous! What kind of beauty is worth five hundred war horses? It seems that Lu Bu's family sent it right last time.

Xu Youdao: Cao Cao only bought 1,000 horses this time, and the lord can buy at least 2,000 horses, or even 3,000 horses.

Yuan Shaodao: I'm afraid that Zhang Jie won't sell so much!

Xu Youdao: The lord is assured that Zhang Jie will sell it, Yuan Shaodao: How can Ziyuan see it? The reason is very simple, because Cao Cao has 3,000 cavalry, Zhang Jie is afraid that we will not be able to defeat Cao Cao, so he will also let us have 3,000 cavalry, or even more. Zhang Jie is playing balance tactics, Yuan Shao is unhappy, it turns out that Zhang Jie still has this mentality?

Yuan Shaodao: Zhang Jie also has bad intentions! So what do we do? Why don't we buy it?

Xu Youdao: No, if you don't buy it, how can we deal with Cao Cao's cavalry? So the horse still has to be bought, but the price is pressed.

Yuan Shaodao: Good, no matter what Zhang Jie's idea is, the war horse must be bought after all, and we can't let Cao Agui's cavalry fight us.

Xu Youdao: Now I finally understand the meaning of Zhang Jie sending someone to send Lu Bu's letter of request for help to the lord, on the one hand, he is indeed lustful and wants to get Liu Bei and Lu Bu's family. On the other hand, he hoped that we would occupy Xuzhou and confront Cao Cao, because he knew that Lu Bu would not be Cao Cao's opponent if he occupied Xuzhou. He also said that if we start a war with Cao Cao, he will send troops to help, which may be true now. He was afraid that we would not be able to defeat Cao Cao, and on the other hand, if we defeated Cao Cao, he would send troops to aid Cao, and he also did not want Cao Cao to be defeated. What a calculation!

Yuan Shaodao: Okay, no matter what calculations he Zhang Jie has, we have to buy back the war horse first, who of you wants to go to Yecheng? Guo Tudao: Let's go, it's winter anyway, and it's okay. Yuan Shaodao: If you are willing to go, then go to the public and buy as much as possible. Promise!

A few days later, Jiang Gan continued to go south, Shouchun, Yuan Shu is now very hilarious, Sun Ce gave him the jade seal of the country in exchange for thousands of soldiers and horses to go to Jiangdong, Yuan Shu held the jade seal of the country all day long and dreamed of the emperor, with an army of 200,000 troops, the first candidate in the world, in terms of troops, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao did not add up to him.

The next person came to report, Zhang Jie sent a messenger Jiang Gan to visit, Yuan Shu heard that it was Zhang Jie's messenger, so he asked someone to bring it in, Yuan Shu had no dislike for Zhang Jie, he didn't like Yuan Shao, Zhang Jie and Yuan Shaozuo had a good impression of him of course Zhang Jie.

Jiang Gan came in and said: Jiang Gan, the envoy of Jizhou, visited Ming Gong.

Yuan Shudao: Mr. Jiang doesn't have to be polite, please sit down, I don't know what is the important matter for my Shimin virtuous brother to send a messenger? Jiang Gandao: My lord has a batch of war horses to sell, I don't know if Ming Gong wants it? What?! Steed? How many?

Jiang Gandao: Cao Cao has already bought a thousand horses, and Yuan Shao has already sent Guo Tu to Yecheng to negotiate, I don't know if Ming Gong wants it?

Yuan Shudao: Of course, I don't know how many of your father-in-law there are, Jiang Gandao: I don't know how many of this are below, but if Duke Ming wants to, he can send a messenger to negotiate.

Good, a certain person will send someone to Yecheng immediately.

After Jiang Gan left, Yuan Shu called Yang Hong and said: Zhong Ming, you go to Yecheng, Zhang Jie has a batch of war horses to sell, you must find a way to buy more, we are short of horses in Huainan, you tell Zhang Jie how many war horses he has, we will have as many war horses.

Yang Hong, this guy is greedy for money and will make sycophants. thought about it and said: The relationship between the lord and Zhang Jie is good, otherwise he would not have thought of selling war horses to the lord, according to Hong's opinion, Zhang Jie is a beautiful woman, we might as well do what he likes. Send some Huainan girls to Zhang Jie, so Zhang Jie can't sell them cheaply to our war horses?

I heard that Yuan Benchu gave Lu Bu's wife to Zhang Jie, and it would not hurt for the lord to marry Zhang Jie, and he would contain Cao Cao in the north. It is also helpful to us, and it is in line with the strategy of long-distance and close-range attack.

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said: Yes, you go below and select ten beauties to bring over to Zhang Jie. No, no, twenty, remember to choose the good one, don't bring some rouge vulgar powder over, we can't afford to lose that person. When Zhang Jie was discussing Dong, he asked a certain Nanyang woman, but how can a Nanyang woman compare to a Huainan woman?

You tell Zhang Jie, as long as there are enough war horses, I have a lot of Huainan women. Yang Hong said happily: His subordinates must live up to the expectations of the lord and bring the war horse back to Shouchun.

A few days later, Yecheng Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Guo Tu asked to see Zhang Jie, to see Ming Gong, Zhang Jie said: Mr. Gong Ze does not have to be polite, a few years ago Jie heard that Mr. was in Yecheng, Jie went to find Mr. Unfortunately, Mr. went to Nanpi, it is a pity, so I never met. Mr. Jin thought that he was a military advisor under the account of his first brother, which shows that Mr. Jin is very talented.

Guo Tu didn't expect Zhang Jie to look for him, and said: Ming Gong is wrong to love, and Tu doesn't dare to bear it. My lord sent a picture to thank Ming Gong for giving us horses, and secondly, I hope that Ming Gong will sell us another batch of war horses. Zhang Jie said: There are not many Jie war horses, but I can't thin the face of Brother Ben and Mr. Gong Ze, so I will give two thousand war horses to Brother Ben Chu, I don't want gold, silver and copper money, but Brother Ben Chu wants to exchange pig iron.
