Chapter 213: The Great Wedding (12)
It's no wonder that the mission was originally sent by Dong Zhuo, how could Dong Zhuo give Han Fei any substantial reward in the name of the Son of Heaven? Wouldn't that make Han Fei grateful to the Son of Heaven? Don't say it's a reward, even those few words of verbal praise are vague. Anyway, Han Fei felt very awkward when he listened to it......
It was a congratulatory gift from Dong Zhuo, which was really called a generous one!
"Old thief Dong still doesn't give up." Looking at the blind treasure in front of him, Han Fei smacked his lips, and he was also full of emotion, even if he had robbed half of Luoyang's property.
There are not many treasures, but each of them is a priceless existence, and many of the marks on it indicate that they come from the palace and are royal things...... That's all, not to mention that Han Fu, the pastor of a state, can't take it out, even if it's famous all over the world, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, may be able to take out three or five pieces, but he definitely can't take out so many.
Nowadays, only Dong Zhuo can have such a handicraft, that is, the emperor......
Well, he's a puppet, I'm afraid he won't be able to give away even a piece.
Guo Jia was also dazzled for a while, groaned, and said, "Lord, what do you mean ......?"
"Sarcasm, you've already guessed it, why bother asking?" Han Fei smiled, and the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of inexplicability, "Since it is meat delivered to the mouth, how can it not be justified?" ”
"That Dong Xiao's kindness ......"
Han Fei's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "I, Han Fei, am still a citizen of the Han Dynasty!" ”
The implication: How can you be with the thief!
Being a citizen of the Han Dynasty now does not necessarily mean that it will still be in the future! For his henchmen, Han Fei didn't hide anything. He also knew that Guo Jia, who was born in a poor family, did not have the so-called loyalty to the Han.
Guo Jia tacitly agreed. Nodding, "Jia, understood." ”
After a pause, he said, "Li Ru and Li Su, do you still plan to do the same as last time?" ”
The so-called last time naturally refers to the time before the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Hehe, why bother with it." Han Fei smiled slightly.
Guo Jia also smiled. "This time, Dong Zhuo is afraid that he will have to cry to death."
"Not necessarily, hate me to death. It's very likely. ”
"In this way, I really want to see that Dong Zhuo's face, isn't it a pity that I can't see it?"
"Haha......"
……
The bustle outside the city.
Because of Han Fei's wedding. It was not only the princes who sent envoys. Even some merchants also smelled business opportunities, and came to Jizhou and Yecheng thousands of miles away, among them, Han Fei had heard of the Mi family in the East China Sea, the Wei family in Chen Liu, the Tao family in Jingzhou, and the Jia family in Yizhou all sent business groups to come, and the Zhen family in Zhongshan, known as the five major merchants in the late Han Dynasty. The arrival of these merchants. It also makes Yecheng extraordinarily prosperous, in this troubled world. Especially in the north, it has a sense of standing out from the crowd.
In Yecheng, as Han Fei's wedding date approached, several families put up lanterns to celebrate the festival, even the poorest people picked up a red light at the door and hung a few feet of red cloth to celebrate.
Han Fei, in Jizhou, is very popular with the people.
Outside Yecheng, Ten Mile Pavilion.
Today's Shili Pavilion is very different, the air seems a little tense, two thousand soldiers within a radius of several miles, idlers are not allowed to approach, even if someone comes, it is good to persuade other directions. Dozens of men from the Zhen family stood at the crossing facing the north of Shili Pavilion, led by a middle-aged man, looking at the distance of the official road with a trace of anxiety on his face, as if he was waiting for something.
In the Shili Pavilion, Han Fei, Zhang Jaw, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Jia Xi and others, almost all the civil and military forces under Han Fei gathered in the pavilion, Han Fei and several strategists drank tea, Chen Gong and Jia Xi were playing chess, and a group of generals were looking forward to it, everyone's eyes were shining and full of expectation.
Han Fei was very calm on the surface, watching Chen Gong and Jia Xi play chess, but his heart drifted into the distance.
He also knew that the Zhen family had prepared a very special dowry for him - four thousand fine war horses from the hands of the Xianbei people!
Four thousand war horses, it can be seen that the Zhen family is ruthless this time.
And what they are waiting for here is this batch of war horses.
However, Han Fei was a little worried, these war horses did not go to Youzhou, because there was Gongsun Chan there, and with Gongsun Zhan's scheme, he would never allow these war horses to enter Jizhou, after all, the relationship between the Zhen family and the Han family was already clear. Liu Yu's problem is not big, but a Gongsun Zhan makes people have to be on guard.
This batch of war horses is to go and merge with the state.
However, Bingzhou is not peaceful, as soon as Ding Yuan died, the imperial court has not appointed a new state pastor, and Bingzhou can be said to be a mess, all cities and counties are like independent forces, dogs and teeth are staggered, and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army is crisscrossed there, it can be said that it is quite not peaceful, and it is also transporting military materials such as four thousand war horses, which adds a lot of risks, although it is said that the Zhen family has hands and eyes, but Han Fei is still worried.
He was worried, someone was more worried than he was!
The middle-aged man waiting at the Shili Pavilion crossing, surnamed Zhen Mingyao, is the brother of Zhen Luo's father Zhen Yi, and now the head of the Zhen family, the five daughters of the Zhen family are going to marry out, and it is also handled by him, but Han Fei wants to marry Zhen Jiang's second daughter, this matter is over, and Zhen Yao's attitude has also taken a 180-degree turn.
It is said that the bitch is ruthless, the drama is unrighteous, but the profit-heavy businessman may not be strong.
For the sake of huge profits, it is possible to sell his biological daughter, not to mention that it is not his biological daughter, but just a niece.
As for Han Fei, he married two rooms at once......
What is the identity of the Han family, and what is the identity of the Zhen family? Not to mention marrying only two, even if all the unmarried women of the Zhen family are married at once, the Zhen family will only be Baba's!
……
Although the Zhen family is known as one of the five largest merchants in the world, and has also handled the business of War Horse before, it is the first time, the most risky, and the largest investment for such a big one. In order to buy a dowry for his nieces, Zhen Yao can be said to be out of the way, if there is an accident, it will not only be a blow to the reputation of the Zhen family, but also likely to cause Han Fei's unhappiness.
That's the real loss of the lady and the loss of the army.
The entire Ten Mile Pavilion was eerily quiet, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the caravan. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Here we are!" ”
Immediately after that, a lot of people shouted. "It's coming! Here it comes! ”
Han Fei also raised his head at this moment, he also saw that under the reflection of the setting sun, a caravan composed of cavalry was heading towards this side, four thousand war horses, one after another, even the distant sunset was swallowed up. Overwhelming! Han Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, great, fortunately, he was not intercepted by the state side. Otherwise, this time, he would have lost a lot of money.
Four thousand good war horses, if they are used well, if the damage is not counted. One man and two riders. can also form two thousand cavalry, this will be the trump card in his hand, and Han Fei doesn't want to see an accident happen.
Zhen Yao excitedly led his men to run forward, "Quick!" Ready to take over! ”
Dozens of Zhen guys rushed up, and as the horses approached, there was a burst of cheers outside the Shili Pavilion, and Han Fei couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. Walking over quickly, some generals such as Zhang Jaw and Huang Zhong had already rushed forward. Excitedly stroking the war horses, they were even more impatient.
A group of war horses were led out and walked to the front of everyone, Han Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, there are a lot of horses in Jizhou, most of them are horses and ordinary animals, and there are only three hundred cavalry in Jizhou, which is still Han Fu's mind. The horses in front of him are completely different, this is a real war horse, from the northern steppe.
The land where horses are produced in the world is preferably the Western Liang War Horse and the Northern Grassland War Horse, and the Liaodong War Horse is also in the Northern War Horse.
Han Fei's frost is a horse king from the northern prairie!
Even if Han Fu tried his best to form the three hundred cavalry, those war horses are much inferior to these war horses, Han Fei has seen Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, that momentum that runs like a mountain, only this kind of war horse can do it, the reason why Han Fei chose to merge with the state, why is it not the idea of fighting war horses on the grassland!
He slowly walked up to the group of war horses, and gently stroked each of them, as if caressing the most beautiful women, they were tall and strong, with well-proportioned limbs, gray, black, white, or crimson fur shiny, shining in the setting sun, long tails fluttering in the wind, and high necks densely covered with brushed manes, all of them were young war horses.
These war horses, docile and revealing a trace of wildness, obviously have been systematically trained, but the wildness has not been taken off, Han Fei knows that such a war horse, on the battlefield, will burst out with more powerful combat effectiveness than the war horses that have been raised and trained since childhood. On the battlefield, people must be ruthless, and horses must also be wild!
The 2,000 soldiers waiting outside the Shili Pavilion gathered from all directions, rushed forward, and each led a horse, their expressions as if they were welcoming the arrival of their wives, and they were very fond of the war horse in front of them.
These people are the soldiers who Han Fei selected from his command to be good at riding, each of them is one out of ten, if it weren't for the fact that his subordinates are really limited, Han Fei really wants to come to one out of a hundred, or even one out of ten thousand!
It's just that this can only be a dream in the future.
Fortunately, the soldiers under him are also elite soldiers from one out of ten, and they are the elite who have walked down the battlefield.
These 4,000 war horses were exchanged for countless materials by the Zhen family in batches from the prairie, and they went through the Yin Pavilion in Yanmen, and then from the Yin Pavilion to Taiyuan, and then to Huguan, all the way to Jizhou, just to take care of these horses, there are thousands of people, that is, the Zhen family has a big business, more than 10,000 children, and it is really impossible to change to a smaller business.
The Zhen family is working so hard, why don't they show their role in Han Fei?
This is also the largest business that the Zhen family has done since the establishment of the family, as a special dowry for the daughter of the Zhen family, according to Jia Xi, Chen Gong and others, this will indeed become a sensational event in the world. Think about it, four thousand war horses, even Dong Zhuo, who commanded the most cavalry among the Han princes, relied on the big pasture of Xiliang behind his back, and his wife might not be able to give such a dowry.
And the Zhen family did it!
At this time, Zhang Jaw led an unusually majestic white war horse forward, and said with a smile: "Lord, I want this war horse, it likes me!" ”
Han Fei looked at the war horse, and when the war horse saw Han Fei looking over, he immediately raised his head and neighed, and his mane stood up. The plump and sturdy body, the slender and agile limbs, eager to try. There is a great tendency to break free from the reins, go to the battlefield, and gallop for thousands of miles. It's not wild, but under the comfort of Zhang Jaw, it was quiet again, and even arched Zhang Jaw's face with a horse face, standing by his side very honestly.
This horse, a silver-white body, is a divine horse. Even if it is more Su Shuang than Han Fei's horse, it will not be too inferior, with silver-white fur. Under the illumination of the setting sun, it actually emitted a kind of fluorescence, Han Fei's heart moved, and said: "Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the previous dynasty, once said. The sky is like a dragon. Walking like a horse. The horse is the foundation of the armor and the great use of the country...... Some people also say, horses, the legs of the general, the horses of the army were ordinary earlier, I wanted to find a good horse for you, but there has been no way. Now that this war horse has chosen to take care of you, please be kind to it. This is a rare good horse! ”
As he spoke, he looked at the white horse again, and Han Fei said: "Looking at the silver white body, if there is fluorescence under the light, if you don't prevent it, you will be called 'Shine the Night White'." ”
Zhao Ye Bai is one of the famous horses collected by Tang Xuanzong, Han Fei even saw the famous painting of "Zhao Ye Bai" in later generations, the painting of Zhao Ye Bai and the white horse in front of him have at least eight points of resemblance, Han Fei is also moved in his heart, and he has the heart to name BMW.
This war horse Xu understood Han Fei's words, and liked this name very much, and he barked a few times, and the horse's head even clicked twice, which was very humane, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Zhang He was overjoyed, thanked Han Fei busily, and led the horse to a clearing, although the harness was not yet complete, he was already impatient to try the horse.
At this time, Han Fei heard someone calling him in the distance, and when he turned around, he saw Zhen Yao walking quickly towards him with a young man, looking at the appearance of that person, burly, with thick eyebrows and broad eyes, high cheekbones, a big beard under his chin, red hair and blue eyes, obviously not Han, Han Fei's heart moved, thinking about it, this is a Xianbei person.
It was the first time he had seen a Xianbei person, but he had heard that Su Shi wrote a poem when he watched the paintings of Han Gan of the Tang Dynasty, one of which was: "The old Xianbei with red hair and blue eyes" shows that in the paintings of the Tang Dynasty, the image of the Xianbei people is still yellow and blue-eyed, reflecting that the Tang Dynasty society generally regarded the yellow beard and blue eyes as the physiognomy characteristics of the Xianbei people. However, since there is such a saying, it is obvious that most of the Xianbei people are like this.
It's just like the person in front of him.
Han Fei stepped forward and bowed slightly, "This time, it's hard second uncle." ”
Although Han Fei knew that Zhen Yao was very powerful, and even wanted to marry his wife who had not passed through the door hastily, but no matter what, he was also Zhen Jiang's second uncle, and this time, it was also of great help to him Han Fei.
Four thousand horses!
If you don't look at anything else, just these 4,000 war horses, Zhen Yao is also worth this gift.
This horse sale was completely planned by Zhen Yao, including from Yanmen to Yecheng in Jizhou, and it was also handled by Zhen Yao himself, which can be said to be exhaustive, although Zhen Yao is also an experienced businessman, but this time, he also felt extremely difficult.
"In fact, I also have a sense of accomplishment to successfully complete the task, and this time the Zhen family has also opened up a new trade route, and we will be able to transport many goods from the grassland to Jizhou smoothly in the future." Han Fei treated him politely, Zhen Yao didn't think that he could afford it, or maybe it was a habit that he had been cultivating, Zhen Yao flashed to the side without a trace, and said without daring to take credit.
He treated the six mothers and daughters of the Zhen family like that before, but now that Han Fei doesn't trouble him, he burns high incense, as for gratitude...... He never thought that what he wanted was that Han Fei knew the role of his Zhen family, and he could have a place to rely on the Zhen family in the future.
It is true that businessmen are ruthless in valuing profits, but what Zhen Yao is doing is not the foundation of the Zhen family?
He pulled the Xianbei man behind him up and introduced him to Han Fei: "This is the son of the chief of the Xianbei small tribe, named Kirbineng, this batch of war horses was sold by his father, this time he specially came to Jizhou, wanting to buy some Jizhou goods to go back." Hehe, according to him, he was interested in Childe's tea. ”
Kirby can?!
This guy is Kirby Can?!
Han Fei's eyes couldn't help but be much rounder, and he couldn't help but look at this young Xianbei man from one glance at the next.
It seems that this is called Kirby Neng, who is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and although his clothes are different from those of the Han people, they are not too much different, and they do not look nondescript. Kirby Neng's eyes are very bright, and he looks like he is wise and polite, and he can see that he is very familiar with the etiquette of the Han people.
He is the Kirby Neng in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty?
Han Fei didn't know much about the small tribes around the Han Dynasty during this period, and he knew a little bit from some historical books such as "Three Kingdoms", but not much, who made "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only play a Nanban. However, Han Fei has a certain understanding of some outstanding leaders of these tribes, including this Kirby Neng.
Kebineng, the outstanding leader of the Xianbei nation during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Han Dynasty, was elected as an adult by the Xianbei people because of his bravery, fair law enforcement, and not greedy for money. His tribe was close to the Sai, so he seized the favorable conditions to actively learn the advanced technology and culture of the Han people, and promoted the progress of the Xianbei people and the integration of ethnic groups in the north. The subordinates under his command are law-abiding and quite powerful in combat. Since Cao Cao's northern expedition, he has paid tribute to the Cao clan to express his allegiance. By the time of Emperor Wen of Wei, he was able to be crowned as the king of righteousness. Later, when Bineng carried out the war of tribal unification, he was heavily hit by the intervention of Wei, so he presented a letter to Wei Huaier and Emperor Wei to show loyalty to paralyze Wei Court and make him relax his vigilance. Since then, Kebineng's subordinates have become stronger, controlling more than 100,000 horses. For the harm to the Wei border. Every time the money is slightly rich, it is distributed openly and transparently, so it has the strength of the people, and the adults of all the departments are in awe. (To be continued......)
