Chapter 15 Win the horse evil god, invest in Liu Qi
Back to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, under the call of the court, heroes from all sides appeared one after another, and the righteous armies from all walks of life responded to the call of the court, led by young people such as Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Yuan Zhao, and Liu Bei, but everywhere was, as the poem said, the people were bitter and the people were suffering. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info corpses are everywhere in the Central Plains, and there are many natural disasters from time to time, grain and grass are lost, thieves are rampant, and countless families are ruined and people are killed.
Although Liu Xuewu has the heart to help the world and save people, he has the heart to be powerless. I have no choice but to do my best to obey the destiny of heaven, and his father Liu Yan together to open a warehouse to release grain, to accommodate displaced people from all over the world, the only fortunate thing is that there is only Zhang Lu's rebellion in Shu, as long as Liu Yan can deal with the law, it can be settled in a few months, and Liu Xuewu belongs to the state, and the perennial army is chaotic, even Taiping Dao did not come here to publicize, let alone the chaos, the only thing to watch out for is Xianbei in the north. However, by virtue of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Xuewu made a lot of money, originally worried that after he opened a warehouse to release grain, Yanmen's finances were unstable, but unexpectedly, families from all over the world came to purchase war horses and ordnance, usually a horse is only about 3 gold, now it is sold for 20 gold, and good horses are usually about 10 gold, but now, dozens of gold, more is difficult to find. For this reason, Liu Xuewu has commanded many soldiers to hunt wild horses, but they are also in short supply. Fortunately, in this hunt, a batch of dozens of fierce horses was captured, among which the horse king was extremely vicious, and for this horse king, nearly a hundred soldiers were injured.
Looking at the vicious horse king in the fence, I saw this horse, walking like a dragon, with a face like a vicious beast, a dark body, hair like a needle, galloping tiger, vertical and horizontal, unmatched. Liu Xuewu couldn't help but say: "It's really a god." ”
After speaking, regardless of the obstruction of his subordinate guards, he ran over alone, and stepped on the ground and jumped on his horse with his strength. It was originally the king of wild horses in thousands of tribes, where is it so easy to be tamed, when it is captured, if it is not for the cover of the tribe, it is strange that hundreds of people can be captured, so it is only killed and injured that nearly 100 people can capture this horse, but they only trap it in the fence and dare not approach it. Suddenly, a man rode on it, and as the pride of the king of horses, he was willing to hold his hands and jump around the fence in circles.
Several times almost fell Liu Xuewu off the horse, fortunately, Liu Xuewu's martial arts and horizontal practice of kung fu over the years are not in vain, and he constantly uses the mastery of the thirteen Taibao, as much as possible to clamp the horse body with every muscle in the body, after nearly a day and a night of tossing, this is the king of the fierce horse to lie down. But this does not mean that he is obedient, for two or three weeks in a row, Liu Xuewu only came to tame this horse when he was free, maybe this horse wanted to open, or maybe it was because Liu Xuewu changed to lust in the past week, and found a few handsome mares to spend the night near it, and so on, and finally tamed.
Speaking of the horseshoe and saddle, it was Liu Xuewu who came to Yanmen and ordered the blacksmith to make it out, because Liu Xuewu wanted to have his own mount when he came to Yanmen, but there was no saddle, so that Liu Xuewu was depressed, and finally spent a lot of money to let the blacksmith master make it out, and recently made a little money, Yanmen also received the homeless people, the population gradually increased, Liu Xuewu is preparing to form his own cavalry unit.
So he rode the mount with the new equipment installed in a good mood and gave the mount the name "Evil God".
But he didn't know, at this time Yanmen County came to two families of people, one is the Yuan family who is ruthless to his bones, and the other is the Liu family of the Han family headed by Liu Biao and others who have special feelings for him, both of them are calculating how to spend the least price to buy a large number of horses and arms, you must know that Liu Xuewu has been the Yanmen Taishou for several years, advocating commerce and vigorously developing steel smelting, it can be said that the best quality steel in the Han Dynasty belongs to Yizhou and Yanmen, but these two are Liu Xuewu's territory and industry, And Yizhou they all went first, but they suffered a big loss in front of Liu Yan, the old fox. That's why I turned my head and ran to Yanmen, thinking that Liu Xuewu was young and vigorous, and it might be easier to fool.
The leader of the Yuan family this time is the second in line Yuan Zhizi Boye, Yuan Shao's brother, at the beginning of Chang'an Ling, and later Shanyang Taishou, Zhang Chao in the past Hejian recommended the legacy to Taiwei Zhu Jun, saying that the legacy "has the crown of the world, the amount of dry time." Its loyalty, brightness, and uprightness, solidify the sky; If it is all-inclusive, the management of the hundreds, the ascending energy, the skeleton is well-known, and the search for it today is very good.
It is recorded in the biography of Zhang Chao in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao commented: "I grew up and can be diligent scholars, but I and Yuan Boye'er."
It can be seen that Yuan is capable, so the Yuan family sent him to Yanmen County to buy horses and weapons. However, Yuan Yi is a broken brain meridian, Yuan Fu offended Liu Xuewu before, and both sides have a big grudge, and now they want to come to the door to buy, and there is a chance that it will not work. But buy it directly at the horse market, the price is too expensive, the Yuan clan always asked him to bring at least two thousand good horses back, but now a good horse in the horse market outside has been fried to nearly fifty gold, and the money he brought can't buy much at all.
There is bad news again, Liu Xuewu let out the wind, and it will be winter in half a month, in order to prevent Xianbei from attacking, the Yanmen hunting team suspended the provision of horses, and there are not many horses, so they want to buy quickly. At the same time, Yuan Yi received news that Liu Biao, the eldest son of Jingzhou, sent Liu Qi to buy horses with a lot of money, which can be said to be worse, and Yuan Yi sighed helplessly in the backyard of the horse post.
At this time, Liu Qi was only sixteen years old, just after the completion of the ceremony, he was sent by his father to buy a horse, it can be seen how unpopular he is at home, but Liu Qi admires Liu Xuewu this brother very much, sixteen years old in front of the palace marquis, at the end of the same year with thousands of foot soldiers to break 100,000 Xianbei (this is of course an exaggeration of rumors), named Yanmen Taishou, Weizhen side. Now it is even more prosperous to govern Yanmen, and I sincerely call it a model for my generation.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Qi arrived in Yanmen, he went straight to Taishou Mansion with excitement and urgency, which is estimated to be similar to the star chasers of later generations. Liu Xuewu received Liu Qi's greetings, feeling a little surprised, for the poor Liu Dagongzi in history but has a lot of regret, this Liu Dagongzi doesn't know anything else, the only thing known is that he is too weak and kind. is so kind that he doesn't dare to resist when others harm him, but chooses to run away.
According to the "Dictionary": "Qi is kind and filial. Cao Cao: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son is like a dolphin with dog ears!" ”
is a tragic character, but Liu Xuewu, as his brother, can't lose his courtesy, so he changed his regular clothes and came to the hall to see this eldest son of Liu Jingzhou.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a handsome young man standing up and shouting: "The former is my brother, the marquis?" ”
"You can let Brother Qi wait for a long time, and it's my brother's fault."
"The Marquis is a political dignitary, and there are many things to deal with, so Qi came to disturb him, forgive me!"
"In this way, Brother Qi will see the outside, I and Brother Qi will be familiar at first sight, if you look at a certain person, just call me to learn."
"Brother Xuewu treats Qi like this, Brother Wu will get straight to the point, Brother came to buy thousands of good horses on the orders of his father, I don't know if Brother Xuewu can look at the same Han family relatives to give some discounts."
"Haha, Brother Qi, it's really a real person, very close to my brother, my brother is also a straight man, I like to go straight, Brother Qi is a guest from afar, all the way to the dust, for my brother has ordered someone to prepare water and wine to wash the dust with my brother, and then talk about it in detail in the room of buying horses."
So the two began to hook their shoulders and carry each other while drinking, perhaps as the saying goes, things gather like like things, people and groups. The longer they get along, the more they realize that the two people actually have a lot of similarities, but Liu Qi is like the modern Liu Xuewu who has not yet crossed over, and now Liu Xuewu has been reborn after experiencing the comprehension of life and death, and there seems to be a feeling of being a fallen person at the end of the world, so Liu Xuewu decided to help this poor honest man.
First, he and Qi were not drunk and did not return, and the next day they sold 2,000 good horses and Qi at a price of 20 gold each.
When he was leaving, Liu Xuewu continued to enlighten Liu Qi.
"Brother Xuewu, you and I can be said to have seen each other late, you have something to ask for, I don't know Xu Yan?"
"Brother Qi and I are like Boya and Zhongzi, even if there is something, the foolish brother will talk about what he knows."
"Alas, this matter is a family scandal, and please don't laugh at my brother. Although I am the eldest son of Jingzhou, but my stepmother does not like it, my father ignores it, and he is like an outsider, now I am an adult, but Cai's more and more persecution, even the word is not given, now I meet my brother with both talents, intelligence is thousands of times better than Qi, Qi has the courage to seek advice and survive. ”
"Haha, what should I do to make Brother Qi so upset, this matter is easy, please listen to my brother."
Liu Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please also ask my brother to teach me." ”
Liu Xuewu saw that Liu Qi was so sincere, and he might as well pretend to be forced: "I have three strategies today, the best policy, and my uncle asked for his life to split the family, and set up another one like my brother now. In the middle of the strategy, the younger brother sent a lot of money to Beijing, sent someone to assist you for the brother, and sought an expatriate official position away from the land of right and wrong. Make a decision, stay in Jingzhou and send out hard work, collect military power, and raise people's prestige, if you have a heavy hand and the people's will, why not be afraid of Cai's. ”
Liu Qi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked, "Is there no other way than to leave home?" ”
Liu Xuewu saw that he was still not giving up, so he borrowed the words of Zhuge Kongming in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Qi doesn't hear it, Shen Sheng, the prince of Qi State, is in danger inside, and he is at peace outside?" ”
"Good, great goodness, my brother's words are like morning bells and dusk drums, knocking on the door of Qi's brain, my brother is too dangerous, the middle strategy is mediocre, but the next policy is more secure, my brother is grateful for today's kindness."
I can't think of how long I fooled Liu, I didn't fight Liu Qi's fighting spirit, the otaku is still an otaku, and I can't leave the baby at home, so I couldn't help sighing: "Alas, the best policy is a masterpiece, the middle policy is a dog, you don't choose, you choose the next policy, the character of the cunning city government is very deep, it doesn't hurt to choose, but Brother Qi's kindness, this plan is difficult, I can't bear Brother Qi's frustration, and my brother recommends three people, beware of three people, pay attention to three people, and you can be safe." ”
