Chapter 31: Top War Horses
"Feng Liu Yao is the general of the north of the Han Dynasty and has the right to open the mansion. Feng Huangzhong was the general of Fenwei, Zhang Fei was the general of the rebellion, and Tai Shici was the general of the rebellion. Gao Shun is the general of Dangkou. General Tian Chou is on the side. And exempt Youzhou from taxes for ten years. Liu Hong said loudly.
"Thank you." Gao Shun's heart was full of excitement, not just for his position as a general. What's more important is the ten years of tax exemption in Youzhou. Under the conditions again, Youzhou will definitely develop more rapidly.
He Jin and Yuan Feng, who were standing below, saw that the facts had been decided, and they had no power to return to the sky, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"If there is nothing to do, then retreat." Liu Hong said. Seeing that no one had anything to say, he walked straight to the dormitory alone. Even Zhang Rang didn't let him follow.
Liu Hong returned to the dormitory alone and carefully removed a small cloth roll from his sleeve. This cloth scroll was given to Liu Hong by Liu Yao and asked Gao Shun to find a way. Liu Hong opened it and saw that there was only one big character on it, which occupied the entire cloth scroll.
"Messy !!!" A big messy word caught Liu Hong's eyes, "Chaos, since you want to mess up, then Father and I will turn the Han upside down according to your wishes." Liu Hong said firmly. Then the cloth roll was placed on the candle flame and burned clean, leaving no trace.
Luoyang Cai Mansion. Cai Yong had just heard Liu Yao's deeds in the early dynasty, and he was already smiling from ear to ear. What is there not to be satisfied with being able to get such a disciple and future son-in-law who is both civil and military, not to mention that Liu Yao is a person with great ambitions, and it is also possible to become an emperor in the future. Then his daughter Cai Yan may be the queen. Cai Yong now admires his vision more and more.
Just as Cai Yong stepped into the door, he saw a thin figure pacing back and forth at the door, looking anxious. "Yan'er, why are you here?"
"Daddy." As soon as Cai Yan saw Cai Yong, he shouted with some joy, and suddenly the anxiety on his face completely dissipated, and he grabbed Cai Yong, "Daddy, did Brother Yao win the battle, did he come to Luoyang?" ”
Cai Yong still doesn't know his daughter's thoughts, "No, Yao'er, he is very busy now, how can he have time to go back to Luoyang, this time he just clapped his hands and came down to see His Majesty." ”
"Oh......" Cai Yan couldn't help but feel lost when he heard it.
"Huh." Cai Yong looked at his daughter's appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Although others haven't come back, they have a letter." Cai Yong didn't know where to get a letter. This letter was written by Liu Yao and handed to Gao Shun for him to hand over to Cai Yan. And when he went down to the court just now, Gao Shun found Cai Yong and asked Cai Yong to hand over the letter.
"Yikes!!" When Cai Yan heard this, his heart suddenly felt like he had eaten honey. Hurriedly snatched the letter, ran back to the room and looked at it secretly.
Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan's appearance and squinted his eyes a little proudly. He smoothed his beard and muttered to himself, "Well, if the two love each other for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." Good poetry, good poetry. I didn't expect Yao'er to be able to write such beautiful verses. ”
It was obvious that Cai Yong had already peeked at Liu Yao's letter to Cai Yan on the way back. If Liu Yao knows, I don't know if he will teach this old man a good lesson.
Time flies, and two months have passed. This day was also the last day of the year 181 C.E.,
Youzhou, after more than a month of travel, Gao Shun finally returned to Youzhou with Liu Hong's edict. Huang Zhong and the others, who had each received the title of general, couldn't keep their mouths shut, even if it was just a miscellaneous six-rank general.
At this time, Youzhou has officially entered a period of development. And on this day, the ransom of the Karasuma people had all been delivered, and the four generals of Karasuma were also politely sent back by Liu Yao. It's just that the four of them at this time are already skinny, and they are almost out of breath.
Among the ransom sent by Karasuma, what Liu Yao liked the most were the five top-notch war horses, one yellow, two black, one red and one snow-white. At this time, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici had already begun to argue with each other over the ownership of the war horse.
"I'll pick first, three of the four Karasuma captives were captured by me, and the ransom they exchanged for was naturally chosen by me first." Zhang Fei was pushing and shoving Tai Shici beside him, and roared angrily.
"Nonsense, this time I killed the inside of Karasuma, killed so many of them, and obtained so many horses, cattle and sheep, my credit is the greatest, and I will choose first." Tai Shi Ci shouted unconvinced.
Liu Yao couldn't help crying and laughing when he looked at the two people who had a little child's temper, but it was no wonder, after all, what the generals cared about most was weapons and war horses, and now the good weapons have not been found, but the top war horses are in front of them, and neither of them wants to let go of this opportunity.
"Okay, you two calm down for me, you look at how calm Hansheng is, how like you two." Liu Yao pointed to Huang Zhong, who did not move at all, and said.
When the two of them heard this, they immediately fell silent, but at the same time they looked at Huang Zhong with a strange look. Liu Yao looked in their direction, but found that Huang Zhongzheng's eyes were shining, staring at the crimson horse.
"Uh." Liu Yao suddenly had the idea of slapping himself, and asked in a low voice, "Hansheng, do you like that one?" ”
"Ahh Huang Zhong, who was interrupted, found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. Huang Zhong was not polite, and opened his mouth directly, "Ahem, lord, as soon as I saw that horse, I liked it, and I asked the lord to reward it." ”
Liu Yao turned around and glanced at Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, "Do you two have any opinions?" ”
"I don't like the red one, I like the pure black one." Zhang Fei and Tai Shici pointed to the two black horses carved out of one mold at the same time. Then a colleague of the two looked at each other in surprise and said in unison, "You like that one too!! ”
Immediately, the two of them became depressed, they knew that they were fighting like this, what else were they fighting for.
Liu Yao couldn't help laughing when he looked at the foreigners. "Alright, the two black horses will be given to you both. As for the red one, I will give it to Hansheng to you. ”
"Thank you, Lord." The three of them thanked excitedly at the same time. Then he rushed to his own horse at the same time, and as soon as his feet were strong, he rode on. The next thing is to run wild outside.
Liu couldn't help but feel amused when he saw the three of them like children getting toys. Then he looked at Gao Shun again, "Gongxiao, don't you want to choose a horse?" ”
Gao Shun shook his head and said very calmly, "No need, lord, what you are good at is foot combat, and as for the martial arts on the horse, it is not outstanding, so it is better to reward the generals in the future." ”
Liu Yao didn't care when he saw it, Gao Shun was such a person. He will not hesitate to open his mouth if he wants it, and if you don't need it, you just force it to him, and he doesn't want it.
Watching Zhang Fei and the three of them running wildly, Liu Yao couldn't help but have a whim and wanted to choose one. Liu Yao took a fancy to the yellow war horse from the beginning, and it always looked so noble, which was very in line with his identity. Liu Yao stepped forward and stroked the silky horse's back. And Huang Ma also snorted with Liu Yao very kindly.
At this time, Huang Zhong and the three of them had enough fun, and they ran back with their horses. "Lord, this is really a top-notch war horse." Zhang Fei shouted happily, his face full of excitement.
"Huh. Good horses deserve heroes, and only a few of you are worthy of these good horses. Liu Yao paused, then looked at the horse slave beside him, "Do these horses have names?" "This manu was also sent by the Karasuma people, and he is the best at taking care of horses. These good horses are also the ones he takes care of.
