The Red Scale Horse is the best horse in the world, and there is no one but absolute. The offspring of this dragon horse are incomparable to ordinary horses in terms of explosive power and staying power, and the red scale horse is the only horse breed that can be adopted by the heavy cavalry legion.

There are many advantages to the red scale horse, but the price is also expensive. Some people think that the steppes in the north are full of red-scaled horses, this view is wrong, since ancient times, the fertility rate of red-scaled horses is very low, and one-third of the horses domesticated by the steppe people can be red-scaled horses, which means that he is already a rich man.

In the official horse market of the Chu State, the average price of a sturdy red-scaled horse over the years is about 3,000 gold coins, although the price is very high, but it is still in short supply, because the grassland people are reluctant to take out the best red-scaled horses for sale, and people have to form their own cavalry team.

Flowing Fire had always dreamed of one day forming a heavy cavalry team composed entirely of red-scaled horses, but that was just a luxury. Don't look at Liuhuo is very rich now, but it's impossible for you to ask him to come up with tens of millions of gold coins.

Most of the war horses used by Liuhuo's subordinates are crossbred offspring of red-scaled horses and ordinary war horses, and some of them have faded to the third generation.

Counting all the stables in Peishui, the number of red-scaled horses added up was only about 3,000, except for the most elite cavalry and officers who could equip them, the others didn't think about it.

Today, someone suddenly drove tens of thousands of red-scaled horses to the door of the drifting fire to make the drifting fire pay the bill.

The herdsmen in the distance were still asking around, and the three of them didn't know how to answer until Liu Lao's voice came from afar, and they finally figured out the situation.

"Stinky boys, why are you standing stupidly? This is your uncle's inheritance left to you, you kid is considered rich, with such a large herd of red-scaled horses..."

"I'm tired to death, in order to escort this batch of war horses, Lao Tzu drove for three days in a row, for fear that someone would covet it halfway..."

Accompanied by the voice, it was Liu Lao's extremely arrogant face, and the golden red scale horse king under him stood there to show off his might, and the stinky fart was definitely a fight with Liu Lao.

Liuhuo is now speechless, just smirking behind the master. In Liu Lao's broken thoughts, Liuhuo finally knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Ma Kidnapper's home is in the core of the depths of the grassland, because he himself is a rare awakened person in the grassland, coupled with the influence of the Golden Horse King, Ma Kidnapper has become a hero in the hearts of all grassland people. To some extent, the influence of the horse kidnapper is still above the golden wolf king who died in battle.

Now, the horse kidnapper is dead, and he died from a dastardly sneak attack. When the news reached the grassland, the Majia tribe was completely out of control, and the angry herdsmen began to assemble, preparing to move south in late autumn, the most unsuitable time for fighting, to avenge their master.

Of course, the herdsmen know that the enemy is the Awakened, and he is also the best among the Awakened, and the identity of the Yu family is very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary grassland people, but it can't hide it from the eyes of the Ma family tribe.

Of course, the herdsmen know that they have little chance of winning, but these herdsmen have already endured the kindness of the horse kidnapper for a hundred years, and even if they fight for this life now, what can they do.

The Ma tribe migrated south with anger, and the steppe people who traveled lightly soon approached the walls of the Chu state, but just a hundred miles away from the border, the herdsmen encountered Liu Lao's messenger.

Of course, the herdsmen knew the relationship between Liu Lao and his master, and they also knew that the Golden Horse King only recognized the horse kidnapper and Liu Lao as their masters, and only these two people in the world could ride the Golden Horse King.

Liu Lao's meaning is the meaning of a horse kidnapper, and no one has any objection to Liu Lao's decision. Under Liu Lao's order, the tribes that went south were divided into two halves, some of the old and weak stayed in the grassland with ordinary livestock, while the three thousand young warriors drove more than 10,000 red-scaled war horses across the Chu State to support Peishui.

During this time, Liu Lao left Peishui, that is, to pick up the halfway horse team.

"Liuhuo, your Uncle Ma has no descendants, and no one is fighting for this inheritance, so I won't be ashamed to help you come. You have to remember that you must bring these 3,000 soldiers to the battlefield, and these cavalry must participate in the battle against the Yu family, because that is the only condition for these grassland people..."

"Flowing fire, the current grassland is very unstable, I let the Ma family tribe station in the border area, let them live there, and I also want them to shield those careerists on the grassland..."

Liu Lao's words came very abruptly, and the three of them were a little overwhelmed. But when Liu Lao slowly analyzed, everyone knew how powerful it was.

The grassland has been quiet for ten years, and ten years ago, Liuhuo and General Zhongli joined forces to defeat the Golden Wolf King, in exchange for a decade-long period of peace on the eastern border. And the western border of the steppe is even more stable, this is the intersection of the steppe and the state of Chu, where the state of Chu has hoarded a large number of border guards.

The powerful army of Chu State shocked the grassland people and did not dare to make waves for decades.

But now, the balance has been broken. The weakness of the Chu State has been seen by the grassland people, and even the contradictions between the Creation Gate and the royal family have been exposed. Those big tribes on the grassland already knew the current situation in the Chu State.

Even, some tribes have begun to slowly move closer to the western border.

Hearing this, Yang Fan's eyes immediately widened, "What do you mean? Could it be that the grassland people want to take advantage of the fire to rob?"

Liu Lao smiled bitterly and said, "This is nothing unusual, in the eyes of the grassland people, only the strong are worthy of respect." Zhongli is afraid of them, they will naturally be honest, if the border guards of the Chu State have always been strong, then the grassland people will not move their minds..."

"However, since the beginning of this year, Long Xingkong has transferred more than half of the soldiers from the northern border, some of them are used to defend Tiandu City, and the other part is to suppress rebellions everywhere in the Chu State..."

"Hey..."Elder Liu sighed and said, "The wild wolves on the grassland, their noses are too sensitive, and they can smell the fighters from it with a little wind and grass, and they want to make a good fortune..."

Zuo Panyu was also anxious now, and he shouted, "Damn, they dare..."

"Don't they know the means of our Awakened One? Let him have thousands of troops, as long as our Creation Gate is here, he will not want to take advantage of the Chu State..."

But Liuhuo was obviously much calmer than him, "No, you have no experience in fighting the steppe people, these wolves will not entangle you at all, their goal is to plunder." They won't bother with us at all, they'll just stick their butcher's knives out to poor mortals..."

"You have never seen the prairie people in the grass, and in their eyes the soft southerners are less valuable than livestock. And they are all cavalry, you can kill a hundred, you can't kill a thousand. You can protect a village, you can't protect a township or a county, there will always be loopholes for them to exploit..."

Yang Fan was a little depressed now, he looked at the flowing fire and said, "Then what should we do?"

"No, the only thing we can do now is to quell our own civil strife as soon as possible, return the normal administrative system to the border areas, and let the main army be stationed there. In the face of guerrilla warfare of wolves, there is no other way than to rely on the tenacity of mortal soldiers..."

Speaking of this, Liuhuo turned his head and asked the master, "When will the Yuan Qi Great Array in Zhongzhou Mountain be completed?" You'd better pass a message to Master Tongxuan, try to hurry up, if this war is inevitable, I'd rather start fighting as soon as possible, and if the two sides continue to prepare for war like this, the intensity of the war will be unimaginable at that time..."

The more fully prepared for this war, the more tragic it will be, and no matter whether it is won or lost, only the blood and fire disasters will be left for the people.

Liu Lao also figured it out, he turned his horse and rushed towards Dawangcheng, and shouted as he ran, "I'm going to write a letter to Tongxuan, you guys hurry up and settle these horses and cavalry, and let's discuss in the back garden at night..."

After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

In order to meet the tens of thousands of war horses, the flowing fire urgently transferred another 30,000 people from Peishui, and it took one night to build a cavalry camp behind the defense line of the grass slope that was enough for tens of thousands of war horses.

These days, the money spent on the fire is like flowing water, and the gold and silver coins in the treasury are almost exhausted, and in the end, the wages for the people need to be paid with silk and linen or grain.

The shopkeepers of half a tael of gold were also dumbfounded, although they had been dealing with large sums of money all their lives, but it was the first time they had seen a proprietor like Liuhuo.

Now Peishui is in an extreme money shortage. The shortage of money does not mean that the flowing fire is going bankrupt, on the contrary, the flowing fire is very rich in his hands, and all kinds of materials are piled up, which are all the property of the flowing fire, but there is no gold and silver currency that can be circulated in the hands of the flowing fire, which is really a headache.

Without monetary support, materials cannot be mobilized at all, and primitive barter is simply inefficient and cannot meet the needs of war preparation.

In the end, Liuhuo really had no choice, he actually used the method of physical mortgage to find his own people to reach out and borrow money. And the fire actually gave the people a full two points of interest, which is the first time in the world.

Liu Lao and Yang Fan are very suspicious, in their eyes, ordinary people are synonymous with poverty. Liuhuo is purely crazy about money, and actually asks people to borrow money.

Of course, Liuhuo knew everyone's doubts, but now that the fire was on fire, he couldn't take care of a lot anymore, and the three secretly set up mints in the swamp were already at full capacity, but unfortunately the gold and silver coins produced were still in short supply.

Liuhuo can't complain that half a tael of gold is not working hard, and the people have already raised 20 million gold coins for Liuhuo in three months, and then force them to estimate that Pang Bucket will be hanged.

Liuhuo still remembers Pang Bucket's crying voice, "My lord, you should kill me, although half a tael of gold is rich, but eighty percent of that money exists in the situation of physical materials or fixed assets, and no one can only be rich..."

"You're just too anxious to prepare for war, you don't have enough coins, and you're too slow to barter. If you had heard how good we were, in an economy as large as Peishui, there would not have been ten or twenty mints, but you just wouldn't listen, and even these three were set up by us begging you..."

Pang Bucket has now become a resentful woman, and she didn't say a word seriously, and the rest was all complaining.

Liuhuo didn't bother to argue with him, he stood outside the window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the Great King City, and sighed in his heart.

"Pei Shui, now I urgently need a miracle, don't let me down..."
