While the court was arguing endlessly, outside Luoyang City, the hussar barracks.

"General Guan, there are two horse merchants not far from the barracks who are rushing to Luoyang City. General Guan's war horse was damaged and could no longer be used. Go buy a good horse and come back. Guan Yu's personal guard ran over and said to Guan Yu, who was training.

"Oh!" After hearing this, the town thief Zhonglang Guan Yu's face was happy.

A year ago, the horse that Liu Fan gave him was considered a good horse, but due to the long journey, the horse's hoof cover was damaged and could no longer be used.

There are many war horses in the army, but there are no suitable ones for him. The Northland horse has excellent endurance and is a good horse for ordinary cavalry, but for Guan Yu, the Northland horse is not tall enough. Nine feet tall, he rode with both feet close to the ground.

Guan Yu's greatest desire is to have a BMW horse like Mo Qilin.

Horse traders have different horses, but they are also the easiest places to meet good horses. For a businessman, the profit of a good horse is much higher than that of a bad horse.

"Yuanfu, you come to train the soldiers first. I'll go and see and I'll come back. After Guan Yu gave an order to Zhou Cang, he led a few guards to run towards the place where the horse merchant was.

Five or six miles away from Luoyang City, two horse merchants and hundreds of guards were driving thousands of horses in the direction of the north gate of Luoyang City.

Guan Yu soon caught up with the two horse merchants.

After Guan Yu stopped them, the horse merchant consciously ordered the horse team to stop. Businessmen like them are most afraid of officers and soldiers.

Although the merchant was called "King Su" by Sima Qian, it was during the Wenjing period.

In fact, the status of merchants in the Han Dynasty was not high, and after Liu Bang succeeded to the throne, he hated merchants very much, and repeatedly issued decrees restricting the suppression of merchants.

Liu Bang's policy was correct at the time, in the early years of the Han Dynasty, when the world had just experienced war and there was a shortage of materials. The accumulation of merchants is not conducive to the rule of the government.

In the Han Dynasty, wealthy nobles did not do business, but let servants or slaves do business. Even if ordinary people become wealthy in business, they may be unlucky. Because merchants were often sent to the frontier to fight, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked to do this kind of thing the most.

Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, wearing exquisite armor, majestic, and when the horse merchant saw it, only Guan Yu was a big man, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he dismounted and greeted Guan Yu.

"Meet the General. Seeing that the general's crotch mount is solid, but it is not suitable for the general, we have purchased 800 horses, if the general fancy which one? I sent it to the general. A horse merchant in charge bowed to Guan Yu. He had a good vision, and he could see at a glance that Guan Yu was here to buy horses.

Businessmen like to make friends with powerful people and are mercenary. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, big businessmen in Zhongshan, donated Liu Bei's grain, horses and money during the Yellow Turban Uprising, because they felt that Liu Bei gathered volunteers and had a bright future, so they should invest first.

"I see that most of your horses are Northland horses, but they are from the land of Yan Zhao?" Guan Yu dismounted and asked.

Most of the hussars were Northland Hun horses, and although they were not of the highest rank, their performance in battle was indeed very satisfactory.

Northland horses do not have high requirements for grain and grass, and can adapt to the environment regardless of severe cold or heat.

Energetic, enduring, and fast-moving, the Northland horse is the best choice among war horses.

"The general is really as wise as a torch!" The horse merchant patted Guan Yu with a fart, and then said: "To be honest, these horses are from Xianbei and Wuheng, most of them are inferior horses, and there are a small number of medium horses. In particular, the Wuheng horse, although it belongs to the northland horse with the Xiongnu horse and the Xianbei horse, the Wuheng horse is closer to the Xianbei Mountain, and the horses there are taller and stronger than the Xiongnu horses. ”

"Is there a good horse?" Guan Yu hurriedly asked.

"The general laughed, we are just ordinary merchants, how can we get a high-class horse? The barbarians often plundered our great Han Biansai, how could they sell us the best horses, just as we only took cloth and grain, and did not exchange them with iron tools. Ma Shang thought that Guan Yu was tempted, and he looked like he was abiding by the law of the country in his words.

Guan Yu looked disappointed when he heard this.

"With all due respect, even a high-grade Wuheng horse is not suitable for the general's majestic and majestic figure. I have been a merchant for many years, and I have seen a Dawan horse breed in the Western Regions, seven feet high, only that kind of horse can be suitable for General An An. Ma Shang said with a few treasures. Words are a pity.

The Western Regions are too far for the Silk Road to pass. If you go hastily, you will die.

The Eastern Han Dynasty's incoherent business policy towards the Western Regions formed a state of three links and three uniques on the Silk Road, that is, there were many contacts and severances.

After Ban Chao and his son Ban Yong, the Eastern Han court was no longer able to control the Western Regions and the Silk Road.

"Among the Dawan horses, there are a very few horses, and their congenital horses are also, when galloping, the shoulders are bulging, sweating like blood, and our Central Plains people call it 'sweat and blood BMW'. The horse has long ears, and it is said that the horse's face resembles a rabbit's face, and it is eight feet tall and runs like the wind. Extremely powerful, its load capacity and sprint capacity far exceed that of the Northland horse, and it is good at short sprints, and it is said that the sweaty BMW can sprint 100 steps in three breaths. The only downside is that it doesn't have the same stamina as the Northtergrounds. Ma Shang explained to Guan Yu casually.

The sweaty BMW is a legend among their horse dealers, and Banchao's mount is the sweaty BMW, and some people depict it and pass it on by word of mouth.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hearing Ma Shang's introduction to the sweaty BMW, Guan Yu's face turned red and his heart beat faster.

Three breaths, one hundred steps. Guan Yu thought of the picture of himself riding a sweaty BMW a hundred steps away and instantly taking the head of the opponent's general.

One breath is two or three seconds, and one hundred steps is one hundred and forty meters. No wonder Guan Yu showed such an expression.

It seems incredible, but it's true. In later generations, the royal thoroughbred horse of a certain country sprinted for a thousand meters in only 57 seconds.

"The husband should ride the sweaty BMW." Guan Yu clenched the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand and said arrogantly.

"Don't choose the best horse for the general yet." The horse merchant ordered the guards, and such bold words made the horse merchant feel infected, and this hero was also.

After a while, a tall horse was brought in, and Guan Yu saw that this horse was similar to the one that the lord gave him. So I decided to buy it.

"How much does this horse cost?" Guan Yu asked.

"Now that the general is fated to give it to the general, why do you need money." Ma Shang said with a smile.

"You don't want to ruin my Guan Yu's reputation." Guan Yuhu was stunned and said angrily.

"It turns out that you are Guan Yu, the number one general under the command of the hussar general, the villain has admired it for a long time, this horse was originally going to be sold in Luoyang for 30,000 yuan, the cost is worth 4,000 yuan, and the general can pay 4,000 yuan." Ma Shang came from Jizhou, and he knew Liu Fan's name like thunder, and he also knew that his military discipline was strict. Don't dare to take bribes.

"Okay, I have accepted your favor, what is your name, he will help you when you encounter difficulties." Ma Shang ran errands for him second, and Ma Shang had heard of his name, which made Guan Yu very happy.

"Thank you, General! The villain's name is Su Shuang, a native of Zhongshan. This is my fellow countryman Zhang Shiping. Su Shuang replied respectfully. He gestured to the diminutive man beside him.
