One hundred and three chapters of the last hope
Hearing Zhao Le say that a horse team was coming, Liu Yuan immediately smiled happily, and now his soldiers lacked anything, food, grass, and ordnance.
It's just that there are few war horses, except for a few of their general-level figures who have their own war horses, only their scout troops can have war horses now.
Even in this way, the war horses of the scout troops could not be one for each person, and two or three people shared a war horse, which was already the limit that Liu Yuan could find.
The area where the Han horses are produced is very scarce, and they are not within his control, and these war horses are still obtained by Liu Bo with great effort.
The real war horse production areas are now almost all controlled by those nomads, such as the Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples have many war horses.
Being able to have a cavalry is definitely Liu Yuan's biggest dream now, and the importance of cavalry in this era is like that of mechanized troops in later generations.
If they can all have an elite cavalry, then they will definitely play a far greater role on the battlefield than ordinary infantry, and even a cavalry of thousands of people can completely defeat the infantry ten times more than them.
During this time, Liu Yuan and his family were looking for Ma Yuan, but even if he was rich, he couldn't find a match for nothing, and it was a pie in the sky to be able to come to a horse team this time.
"Berjan! Are you telling the truth? Don't say anything about the best war horses, how many horses does this horse team have? What is the condition of these horses? ”
"Lord Qiqi, this time is really a great joy, I just asked the leader of this horse team, he has nearly three thousand war horses in his hands, all of them are of the highest quality, and what is even more exciting is that he has his own horse farm, and now there are nearly seven thousand war horses that can be sold!"
"What? In other words, if I can buy all his war horses, then we can at least assemble a cavalry of 10,000 people? It's just great! Berjan will take me to their leader now! ”
"No!"
Zhao Le agreed to take Liu Yuan straight to the county guard's mansion, followed by Zhang Fei who came after hearing the wind, the problem of the war horse was not only Liu Yuan's worry, Zhang Fei had also been unable to sleep at night because of this problem in the past few days.
I didn't expect such a good thing to fall on their heads today, and when Zhang Fei got the news, he rushed over as soon as he got the news.
The group of three came to the county guard's mansion, and as soon as they entered the door, Liu Yuan saw a middle-aged man, although this man was wearing a Xianbei costume, but from his face, he knew that he was a Han man.
Seeing this man's clothes, Liu Yuan frowned at first, he didn't expect that this man would take off his Hanfu and wear the clothes of the Xianbei tribe.
Throughout the Han Dynasty, the Han people were very tough on foreigners, and even when the Han was extremely weak, they rarely bowed to foreigners.
This is also the reason why the word Han is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in the Han Dynasty few Han people would wear foreign clothes, but those nomads often take pride in wearing Hanfu.
This person actually did the opposite, even if he had any hardships, this person's first impression on Liu Yuan was not good, but for the sake of the war horse, Liu Yuan did not show it.
Liu Yuan, who walked a few steps, came to the middle-aged man, hugged his hands and bowed slightly, which was considered to be a salute to him first, and then Liu Yuan said;
"I don't know where this gentleman's surname is in Xianxiang?"
"You're the county guard? Lord County Guard, you are too polite, the villain's surname is Su Mingshuang is from Zhongshan County, this time the villain came to see the Lord County Guard, and I hope that the adult will save the villain's life! ”
"Huh? I saved your life? Mr. Su, don't worry, please make your words clear? ”
When Liu Yuan heard the name Su Shuang, the first person who came to mind turned out to be Liu Bei, and it was Su Shuang who funded a lot of ordnance and horses at the beginning of Liu Bei's army in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Even Liu Bei's double-strand sword, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, and Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue knife were all made of high-quality iron funded by Su Shuang.
It can be said that Liu Bei was able to pull up a team at first, except for Zhang Fei, this Su Shuang helped him the most, but later this Su Shuang never appeared again.
I don't know if I suffered any misfortune, or was killed by Liu Da'er, anyway, after funding Liu Da'er, Su Shuang mysteriously disappeared.
Su Shuang, who funded Liu Da'er, is also from Zhongshan County, Liu Yuan can now say with great certainty that this Su Shuang is definitely the other Su Shuang, but why did this Su Shuang call for help when he saw him?
With Su Shuang's story, Liu Yuan gradually understood, it turned out that Su Shuang went to Xianbei to sell horses this time, and he didn't know what shit luck he had, and he actually got 3,000 high-grade war horses.
These are not the most important things, this Su Shuang is simply going against the sky, he actually got three peerless famous horses from a very small Xianbei tribe.
These three horses were none other than a fiery red red flame dragon horse, a snow-white white jade beast running into the sky, and a dark cloud covered with snow like the war horse that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, once ridden.
Getting these three war horses made Su Shuang very happy, and when the transaction was completed, Su Shuang and the horse team did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately left the control of the Xianbei clan.
Unfortunately, when Su Shuang was about to leave the Xianbei control area, a team of Xianbei cavalry discovered his horse team and surrounded him.
At that time, Su Shuang knew that something bad might happen, if it was only three thousand war horses with the connections he had opened, the Xianbei cavalry would never intercept his horse team.
It must have been the three peerless horses in his horse team that attracted the hungry wolf, Su Shuang was a little numb at that time, but fortunately, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Shiping, who were traveling with him, were in a hurry and came up with a good solution.
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are close friends, the two have been selling horses in Xianbei for many years, it can be said that the two of them are lifelong friends, this time Zhang Shiping saw that Su Shuang was in trouble.
He immediately found a few war horses that were not much different in size from the three peerless famous horses, and smeared some dye on those war horses, and immediately several pseudonymous horses appeared in Zhang Shiping's team.
Then Zhang Shiping drove those pseudonymous horses to part ways with Su Shuang, and galloped away in another direction, and the Xianbei cavalry was really fooled into chasing Zhang Shiping away.
Su Shuang took this opportunity to leave the Xianbei tribe's controlled area with his horse team, but as soon as he returned to the Great Han Su Shuang, he began to worry about the safety of his friends.
He first went to Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu respectively, but unfortunately Gongsun Zhan, who had always been tough in Beiping, was not in Beiping, saying that he was taking his subordinates to quell a rebellion of the Xianbei tribe.
And Liu Yu is resolutely put an end to this kind of thing about starting a war with Xianbei, not to mention that Su Shuang brought a few famous horses, even if Su Shuang brought a piece of Heshi Bi, it is estimated that Liu Yu will not be tempted.
So after Su Shuang said his purpose, Liu Yu invited Su Shuang out very politely, and in desperation, Su Shuang could only come to Zhuo County for help, and now Liu Yuan is his last hope!
