Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mysterious Horse Dealer

When Wang Chong took Li Tao and more than a dozen Jinfan guards to jump onto the merchant ship carrying horses, several horsemen on board immediately respectfully introduced Wang Chong into the cabin.

Knowing that the young man in front of him was the Jinfan leader of Yuzhang County who had been powering the earthquake in recent days, several horsemen followed with a cower, not even daring to take a breath of air, for fear of annoying the Jinfan leader and accidentally losing his life.

The Feng family's merchant ship was obviously refitted, and the cabin was large, with four rows of stables, and a hundred war horses were tethered here, but it was not crowded at all.

In ancient times, not all horses could become war horses, and if you don't have an excellent bloodline and a healthy physique, how can you charge on the battlefield with a strong man in armor?

War horses are scarce in the Jiangdong area, and many people use the pack horses used to pull goods and transport in the north as war horses, these pack horses not only run slowly, but also look ugly to death, and as a result, people are still rare.

Unlike those pack horses, these horses in front of Wang Chong are war horses in the real sense, look, the limbs that are as strong as cattle and full of explosive power, the physique that is as high as Wang Chong's shoulders, and the hair that is as smooth as silk, Wang Chong was stupid for a while.

"It's a pity that there are too few." Wang Chong shook his head regretfully, "If I give me three thousand such war horses to form a cavalry, even if it is against Sun Ce, I will dare to wrestle with him head-on!" ”

"Why should the chief be emotional?" Li Tao reminded on the side, "Since Gong Feng can get such a war horse, he naturally has his own channels, if the leader is in need, why not ask Gong Feng to help again?" At most, we can buy from him at the market price! ”

Wang Chong suddenly realized when he heard this, and laughed: "Bo Yun, there is really you, how do you say a sentence?" Yes, a word to wake up the dreamer, why didn't I think of this stubble? ”

Wang Chong said and looked at an old horseman behind him: "By the way, old man, do you know where Feng Gong bought these war horses?" ”

The horseman replied resignedly: "Don't dare to deceive the chief, a few days ago, the horse dealers who came all the way from the north went through the channel, with hundreds of good war horses and wanted to go south to Jiangdong to sell, just passing through Chaisang, the head of the family learned the news, and temporarily decided to buy a hundred war horses at a high price, in fact, my Feng family is mainly engaged in tea, silk and ironware, as for the war horses, due to the road is far away, and most of the horse farms are in the hands of the princes, not only our Feng family, even the entire Jiangdong family, there are few people involved. ”

"I see."

Wang Chong nodded thoughtfully, he believed that the horseman was not lying, after all, horses are extremely important war resources, and selling them is equivalent to the enemy, but anyone who can become a prince, no one will be a fool, how can he do such a thing that harms others and benefits himself?

Unless...... Unless he sells the war horse to a place where he can't fight with his own forces, it's like saying that Yuan Shao may be willing to sell the horse to Sun Ce, but he will never sell it to Cao Cao.

"Chief, I'm afraid the origin of this horse dealer is not small." Li Tao said with a frown.

Wang Chong's jaw headed: "Ah, being able to carry hundreds of good war horses all the way from the north to the south of the Yangtze River unimpeded, this is not something ordinary people can do." ”

Li Tao said: "I think they should go to Hanzhong, and then go south along the Han River, if they go through Chang'an and then go down to Nanyang, I'm afraid they will be intercepted by Cao Cao." ”

Of course Wang Chong knows this, it is rumored that Zhang Lu's strategist Yang Song is extremely greedy for money, if he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy, it is not difficult to think about Hanzhong, but if the other party does not nod, with Yang Song's greed, I am afraid that he will swallow the horses along with the bribes, right?

"Uncle, do you know the origin of this horse dealer?" Wang Chong asked the horseman.

"I don't know, I just know that the other party is headed by a young scholar, and in addition, the house slave brought by this scholar is quite eye-catching."

"Oh? What is the attention method? ”

"These people are all powerful and powerful, and they have a sinister face, and they know at a glance that they are battle-hardened pawns."

"Battle-hardened ...... Pawns? Wang Chong muttered and said with a smile, "Hearing what my husband said, I am becoming more and more interested in this scholar, do you know where he is now?" ”

Ma Fu thought for a while and said: "The wind and rain have been very strong these days, and the ships are not easy to travel, especially the northerners do not know the nature of the water and cannot withstand the turbulence. ”

"Are you still in Chaisang?" Wang Chong's eyes lit up.

Li Tao knew Wang Chong's thoughts when he saw his reaction, and immediately persuaded: "Does the leader have to go to Chaisang?" Don't you hear that the son of a daughter can't sit down? With our identity, once exposed, I am afraid that there will be ** annoyance. ”

Li Tao said, and deliberately raised his head and glanced coldly at a few grooms, and suddenly frightened several people's faces pale and their legs trembled, for fear that Wang Chong would kill them.

Wang Chong shook his head: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" Maybe in the future, we won't have to worry about war horses anymore. ”

"Having said that, I still disagree!" Li Tao was resolute, "If the leader wants to contact the other party, he might as well let Feng Yan be a matchmaker and ask the other party to come to the river to meet with the leader." ”

"No, how can this reflect my Jinfan's sincerity?" Wang Chong patted Li Tao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Boyun, I know that you are thinking about my safety, but if I don't even have the courage to take this risk, how can I be the leader of Jinfan?" And don't forget, how many people are there in Chaisang? Let's not talk about whether I will be exposed, even if I am really detected, will they dare to touch me? Aren't you afraid that we will retaliate with an army of Jinfan? Uncle, do you Feng family dare to touch me? ”

Wang Chong said in the end, suddenly turned around and asked the horseman, and his legs were directly frightened, and he knelt on the ground: "The leader clearly sees that my Feng family has decided to make friends with Jinfan before, even if the leader wants to go to my Feng family as a guest, presumably the head of the family is also very welcome, how can it be unfavorable to the leader?" ”

"Don't panic, I just asked casually, and I didn't really suspect the Feng family." Wang Chong stretched out his hand to help the groom, "Come on, let's continue to watch the horses, the old man has been raising horses for the Feng family for many years, and he must have rich experience, please don't hide your secrets, teach more." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The groom secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat and echoed it again and again, thinking that dealing with such an angry butcher was really fatal, and his heart was about to come out.

"Chief, in fact, in addition to the hundred war horses in front of you, there are also two high-quality Dawan good horses on this ship, which were specially bought by the head of the family and given to the leader and the leader Gan."

"Oh? If so? Why don't you take me over quickly? Wang Chong said a little impatiently.

It is men who like fragrant cars and beauties, Wang Chong is naturally no exception, ancient horses are modern cars, and now when he hears that there are good horses, Wang Chong is suddenly excited.
