Deng Zhi and his entourage went south again, entered Xiangyang City, and asked to see Liu Biao.

Hearing that Deng Ji was willing to use a high-quality horse to exchange for grain to feed the people, Liu snorted on the surface, and replied after a while: "Jingzhou has surplus grain, and it is also limited!" I should consult with my subordinates before replying! Please go to the guest house to rest! ”

After Deng Zhi withdrew, Kuai Yue hurriedly said: "Deng Ji is out of thieves, don't believe it, this may be a fraud!" ”

Kuai Liang also shook his head and said: "Henan is very short of food!" If there is no fraud, a horse cannot be exchanged for 300 stone grain, and the price can be suppressed! ”

After the two spoke, Liu Biao suddenly said angrily: "Deng Ji is a thief, and he has to steal the authority of my Han family, but he is really not a subordinate!" He will not give up the army and horses, but the matter will be announced in Henan, fake benevolence and righteousness to win the trust of the people, and then find an opportunity to break the contract so that it will not be successful, and the people should complain about my Jingzhou! ”

The three of them did not know the essentials among their various guesses, and if they refused, the temptation of thousands of cavalry was really great.

After talking for a while, Liu Biaoliu and the Kuai brothers were eating, and just after eating, someone outside suddenly shouted loudly: "Lord! Lord! ”

Listen to the voice and know that it is Cai Mao. Cai's family is a prominent family in Jingzhou, after Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, Cai Mao also had to be reused, and after Liu's cousin's wife died, he remarried Cai Mao's sister, so he was a minister of in-law.

Cai Mao called in, which caused Liu Biao to be dissatisfied, and scolded: "As a heavy minister, noisy in the house, what kind of system has it become?" ”

Ignoring this brother-in-law's reprimand, Cai Mao hurriedly said: "The Henan envoy sells BMWs in the East Market, and it has spread all over the city, and people are competing to see it!" I'm only here to report it, if the lord and Zirou don't go, I'll go by myself! ”

Deng Zhi was the envoy, but he deliberately caused trouble in Xiangyang? Liu Biao was displeased. He shouted: "Wait for them to go south." No more than a dozen mounts with him. If you want to sell, let him go, what's the difference? ”

"I heard that among the horses he sold, there was one that could be called a divine horse, claiming to be not sold for 100 gold!" Cai Mao hurriedly said: "He doesn't want gold and silver property, just asking for food, and those who want it need to take grain to Shunyang, and then they are willing to exchange it!" If you don't want to look at it, I'll go first! ”

After speaking. Cai Mao had already taken a step ahead and dodged out the door.

"Shunyang? Henan military horses have taken Shunyang? Liu Biao was shocked and asked, "Why don't we know yet?" ”

Now Shunyang County is in the hands of Zhang Ji, which is considered to be the junction with Liu Biaojun, Kuai Yue said: "Shunyang is a county, Zhang Ji's garrison is only hundreds, Deng Jijun rides more, if Shunwu Pass goes south, why is it difficult to take it?" The news has not yet reached Xiangyang! ”

Kuai Liang has learned a lot, knows astronomy, and is very good at horses. There is no one who is good at horses and does not love good horses. Hearing Cai Mao's words, he couldn't sit still anymore. Noncommittal about Deng Ji's garrison in Shunyang, he rushed to Liu Biao and said: "If you don't want to watch, please go to Dongshi to explore Deng Zhi's reality!" ”

Liu Biao Kuai Yue knew that he loved horses like an idiot, and he loved all good horses and boys, so he could only sigh together: "Go together!" Let's go! ”

Dozens of armor soldiers were called to protect each other, and the three of them also hurried to Dongshi.

Before Deng Zhi went south, Tian Feng specially asked him to pick more than ten good horses from the military horse farm.

One of the good horses with a pure black body is the same as Dong Zhuo Niufu, the original son of heaven, and can indeed be called a divine horse.

In addition to the dark horse, there are still ten good horses, which are far superior to the horses. When Deng Zhi and others pulled all the eleven horses into the East Market, they inserted grass stalks on the horse's mane, which immediately attracted countless onlookers.

Those who looked at the four hooves and touched the skin oil took turns, and then asked about the price of the horse, Deng Zhi only replied: "100 gold is not for sale!" ”

After successfully arousing the appetite of the onlookers, Deng Zhifang said: "I am a messenger in Henan, Henan is short of grain, and if I want to use this horse to change the grain of Jingzhou, I can take the grain to Shunyang, and when I have to report, this horse can be taken away!" ”

In this life, men like to have life and spiritual horses to be far better than the later generations of the world's love for famous cars, Jingzhou is short of horses, not long after, the news spread in Xiangyang City, more and more widely, onlookers blocked in the East City.

It's just that although there are many onlookers, Deng Zhi's tone was too big before, 100 gold is tens of thousands of stone grain, and Shunyang is in chaos, there is food, who dares to send it to change horses?

When the soldiers drank the way and asked Liu Biao and the three of them to step forward, Deng Zhi saw it, saluted Liu Biao, exhaled, and then stopped talking, waiting for others to bid.

It is rare to find a good horse in Jingzhou, Kuai Liang has already taken a fancy to the tall and black horse in the horse herd, and he no longer ignores Liu Biao, the envoy, and goes closer to take a closer look.

The dark horse is also not good-natured, and no one is allowed to get close, and when Kuai Liang approaches, he raises his head and neighses.

"The physique is really rare, but I haven't raced before, and I don't know its horse yet!"

If you can attract Liu Biao and the three of you, this matter has successfully caused a sensation in Xiangyang, listening to Kuailiang's sigh, Deng Zhi smiled and said: "This matter is easy!" Move out of the city and try it, can you have a good horse at your feet? ”

When they heard that Deng Zhi was willing to race horses, everyone was so excited that not only did Kuai Liang bring their own mounts, but many of the onlookers also pulled horses to participate in the race.

The venue has been moved outside Xiangyang City, and after the designated round trip of ten miles, dozens of people went to the turning point to prove it.

Huo Dao'er Ailan and other soldiers took eleven good horses from Henan to compete with the knights sent by Kuai Liang and others, and more than 30 horses ran down in a turn, Deng Zhi's black horse was really far ahead of the same kind, not to mention, the rest were also good. Kuailiang's mount ran first among the horses in Xiangyang City, but this race could only rank sixth, and the first five horses were all Deng Zhi's.

Seeing that everyone had done their best, Deng Zhi said in a timely manner: "Henan is short of millions of stones, my lord is willing to exchange good horses for grain in Jingzhou, this matter is a matter of life and death, how can you prevent Zhang Ji from doing bad things?" My lord has now led tens of thousands of fine horsemen Chen Bingwan outside the city, if you want to exchange food for horses, you can rest assured to Shunyang! ”

Whether Deng Ji has troops to force Wancheng to prevent Zhang Ji from sending troops to plunder, it will be known in a day or two, and it cannot be faked. The wealthy families of Jingzhou were all moved, and someone among the onlookers finally asked how much grain the black horse should be exchanged for.

"This horse is priceless!" Deng Zhi praised first, and then regretted: "However, I am short of grain in Henan, so I can only cut love, and I need at least 3,000 stone of grain, and the one with the highest price will get it!" ”

This was a bid on the spot, and the first to speak said: "I will exchange it with you for 3,000 stone grain!" ”

Kuai Liang interrupted with a sneer: "Wan Shi! ”

Kuai Liang is from his own family and wants to be reused, Liu Biao is not good at fighting, so he coldly watched others bid.

The price of ten thousand stones shouted, and there was a sound of gasping, but after half a day's effort, all the people in the Xiangyang clan came, and some people were not afraid, and someone in the He clan shouted: "Wan Er!" ”

Huang immediately shouted: "Wan San! ”

Cai Mao didn't give Kuai Liang face, and said: "Wan Wu! ”

The rest of the Liu family, the Zhang family, and the Chen family also competed, but Kuai Liang had Liu Biao as a shield, and had no scruples, and finally won it with 22,000 stone grain.

Looking at the bidding of the powerful ministers of Xiangyang, Deng Zhi only sneered in his stomach, and used it sparingly, 20,000 stone grains are enough for 3,000 people to eat for a whole year, but in the eyes of such wealthy families, it is just a horse.

If it weren't for the Beitou Deng Ji, his family would have been one of these wealthy families.

When the bidding was over, Kuai Liang was going to come to pull the horse, Deng Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said: "No grain to Shunyang, no horse will be given foot!" ”

"Who am I?" Kuai Liang said angrily: "How can I ignore your food? ”

"If you don't believe it, because it is related to the life and death of the people of Henan, you don't dare to take it lightly!"

When they went to Xiangyang to ask for food before, the two had already argued in front of Liu Biao, but at this time, Deng Zhi didn't give an inch, and Kuai Liang couldn't ask each other softly, so he could only hate and hate.

The onlookers and the wealthy families again competed to buy the remaining ten good horses, and when all the people had bid, Deng Zhi wrote them down one by one, and said: "We will live in Liu Yuanjun's guest house, and when there is an envoy from Shunyang, whoever has food can send the horses to the house!" ”

Glancing at Liu Biao, Deng Zhi said again: "The people of Henan have run out of food and are difficult to spend the day again, and there are people who die of hunger every day, but Jingzhou has enough food, so I have to give up my horse and beg for it!" My lord wants to exchange grain with Liu with a good horse, but the envoy has not yet agreed! In another half a month, there will be 6,000 good horses in Henan going south! On September 15, my lord opened a horse market in Shunyang, and then withdrew his troops to Henan, and asked Li Dao to meet the Son of Heaven in the west! If you are interested, you can bring grain in exchange for 15 stones, 300 stones! Whether there is a horse riding in it depends on your eyesight! ”

Deng Ji can still encourage him to maintain, and the people of his land are naturally not as miserable as Deng Zhi said. However, whether the people of Henan starved to death or not had little to do with the various ethnic groups in Jingzhou, but in this troubled era, it was always good to have a few more mounts at home and use them when fleeing.

Those with ulterior motives still want to buy more armed troops and move in search of momentum.

Five or six days later, Kuai Liang and others sent grain to Shunyang, and when they returned, they received horses from Deng Zhi, which was even more sensational, and the whole city was talking about it.

On the 10th day of the first month of September, the news that the Henan soldiers escorted a large number of horses south to Shunyang also reached Xiangyang.

At this time, Liu Biao couldn't sit still anymore, and Zhao Deng Zhi asked: "I once said that 5,000 horses were exchanged for me, how can I give them to all tribes?" This is not trustworthy either! ”

Deng Zhi said: "The people of Henan have no food, so you hesitate and can't decide, but you really don't dare to delay!" ”

"How did I ever think about it?" Liu Biao denied it: "You need 1.5 million stones, so much, how can you get it in one or two days?" ”

Deng Zhi blinked honestly and asked him: "Now that he has been promised to the wealthy family, there have been envoys before, and I heard that someone has sent grain to Shunyang, and he asks to change the horse first, what can I do?" ”

"Before the fifteenth arrives, don't open the horse market lightly!" Liu Biao hurriedly said: "Bo Miao sent a message, I need to leave 5,000 horses with me, and the rest can be exchanged by all clans!" ”

Deng Zhishang was embarrassed, and Liu Biao lured again: "After that, Henan will ask for grain again, and you can come to Jingzhou as much as possible, how about it?" ”

Deng Zhi shook his head: "The war horse is also reluctant, and there should be no such thing from now on!" If you want to have five thousand horses alone, you can add ten more stones to each horse! ”

Seeing the other party's price increase, Liu Biao hesitated again, and said for a while: "If you add ten stones to one horse, six thousand horses need to be with me!" ”

"Yes!" Deng Zhi gritted his teeth and said: "The families of all clans, let the Huya Army have a little more mounts with it, and the six thousand horses will be exchanged for the envoy!" ”

(One more throat, ask for a monthly pass!) The brothers who have a monthly pass to help, and the difference between the tenth place in history is 30 votes, and the tiger will be on the list with the help of fifteen more people! (To be continued......)
