Chapter 40 Donglai Tai Shi Ci (II)
In history, Tai Shici didn't like to drink much, this was really because the hero was drunk and sold too expensive here, and he had no money and couldn't afford to drink. Now that I have a chance, I naturally want to drink a few more sips to enjoy it, anyway, I already owe Zhang Chao a big favor, and I don't care about a few more jars of wine.
From this point of view, Tai Shi Ci also has a cunning and clever side.
"Haha, if you want to drink, you're not in a hurry at this time. I have a good way here, so that Brother Ziyi can drink such good wine every day in the future, and it is a better strong aroma hero drunk than this, and even if the amount of alcohol is okay, there is a more powerful overlord drunk, which is the real spirit. Zhao Yun reached out and pressed Tai Shici's arm, and said with a smile on his face.
"What's the solution?" Hearing that he could drink such wine from time to time, Tai Shici also became interested and asked out loud.
"Brother Ziyi doesn't know, my second son's favorite is heroes, and this time I came to Luoyang to face the saint, who was awarded the official body, and there is a lack of heroes like my brother, if you can stay to assist the second son, then you can drink whatever you want?" Zhao Yun used words to seduce Tai Shici.
"Oh, can I follow the second son?" Unexpectedly, Tai Shici didn't have any words to refuse, and asked directly like this.
"Of course. If you don't believe it, ask the second son. Zhao Yun didn't expect that such a quick thing would become a good thing, and he quickly looked at Zhang Chao's body.
At this time, Tai Shici's eyes also looked at Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao knew that the matter had been completed, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, I admire heroes like Ziyi very much, but I don't know if you are willing to work with me to conspire with me?"
"Ziyi can't ask for it." Tai Shi Ci saw that Zhang Chao nodded and agreed, so he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists, as if it was a subordinate style at this time.
Speaking of which, Tai Shi Ci is not a person who will follow others at will, according to the official history, he should have been Liu Xuan's subordinate, and was later subdued by the little overlord Sun Ce.
At the beginning, it was Sun Ce's construction of force that convinced him to surrender. But when it comes to it, he is still a loyal and brave man in his bones.
And this time, as soon as Zhao Yun said it, he decided to follow Zhang Chao, and there were too many reasons.
First of all, Zhang Chao's fame in the Battle of Changshe made him admire, which had a preconceived reason.
Secondly, Zhang Chao helped him out with 5,000 taels of silver, which is a big favor, and he has never liked to owe others favors. Now that there is an opportunity to return the favor, he certainly won't miss it.
In the end, Zhang Chao's actions convinced him. He had seen it when he was shooting arrows just now, except for Zhang Chao who raised the dishes and made preparations to make a move, everyone else looked like they had nothing to do with themselves. That is to be able to make a move on a girl who has never known her, such a person's heart must not be bad. It should also be a good choice to follow such people.
For various reasons, Tai Shici responded to Zhang Chao's solicitation and became a general under him.
After Zhang Chao was imprisoned to accept filial piety and took off his clothes to collect Zilong, now there is another interesting story about silver and two harvests of Ziyi, and these things are still talked about by many people until many years later.
Successfully subdued Tai Shici, Zhang Chao was overjoyed, so he picked up the wine jar and said: "Come, it's rare for everyone to be so happy today, drink." ”
"Drink." Zhao Yun, who had already practiced a certain amount of wine, also picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth with Tai Shici on the side.
As the wine entered their throats, the feelings of the three quickly warmed up. Then Zhao Yun was responsible for introducing the seven brocade guards on the side to Tai Shici one by one, after all, they will be their own brothers in the future, and they can avoid a lot of misunderstandings after getting to know each other.
Looking at the extremely powerful temperament of the seven men, as well as the murderous gaze, Tai Shici couldn't help but praise in his heart: "It seems that this second son is really not simple." If it is an ordinary son, how can there be such a wolf-like pro-soldier around him? ”
Zhang Chao became a person with nothing to do at this time, so he looked at the horse dealer who was still standing on the side, and at the same time staring at himself. "Come here, what's your name?"
Zhang Chao can take out five thousand taels of silver without blinking his eyes, this horse dealer seems to be a rich child, after seeing the men around him are tall and mighty, he knows that the person must have a lot of identity and background. There is some fear in my heart, now that people are calling, where is the reason not to come?
"If you go back to Gongzi, my name is Zhuxi." The horse dealer stepped forward and said very respectfully.
"Good luck, good name. How? Are you from Liangzhou? Zhang Chao asked as if chattering.
"Yes, I'm from Liangzhou Gushui. Because he was always harassed by Xiqiang, he came out to make a living. Speaking of which, it is not easy for us to sell horses, we have to drive a lot of roads to come to Luoyang, and we also need silver taels when buying horses. If something happens to the horse, the loss will be borne by itself. As if he was afraid that Zhang Chao would use his power to suppress him, Zhu Xi began to cry hard.
"Alright." Zhang Chao shook his head, "I don't have time to listen to what suffering scriptures you read to me, let me tell you, that five thousand taels of silver will not be missing you." I came to you to ask if you have any good horses to sell. You know, I'm not short of silver, it's up to you to see if you have a good horse. ”
Hearing that he didn't want to rely on the silver, but asked the horses a question, Zhu Xi immediately came to the spirit, and he said straightly: "Oh, this son is the right person." You don't know that in the whole horse market, there is no one whose horse is better than mine, and our group has always been a non-healthy horse and does not sell it. Seeing that there was no one just now, it was just the worst of our horses, and there were several stronger than it. ”
When he said these words, Zhu Xi's face was full of confidence.
"Well, I hope what you say is not false, so that when your people get the silver taels, take me to see your horses. Tell you, it's not okay if the horse is not good. Zhang Chao could see that Zhu Xi was not lying, even if this was the case, it would be worthwhile to get a few horses.
Seeing that Zhang Chao was going to see the horse, Zhu Xi was also a burst of joy. I finally met a boy who was not bad for money, and he was wondering if he could sell one of his horses.
After a while, the brocade guards who were sent out to get the money also rushed back, and the two subordinates of Zhu Xi came with them, and when they saw their beaming appearance, and the box in the carriage behind them, they knew that the money had been received.
Also with him was Wang De. He should have arrived a long time ago, but then he met the brocade guard, and then he went back to pay the money, so he came.
"Second son." Wang De came to Zhang Chao and bowed very respectfully and said.
"Well, thank you. In this way, you will follow me into the horse market in a while, and if you like it, you will be responsible for paying. In addition, there is another matter, immediately send someone to Dongcheng County, Linhuai County, find Lu Su's grandmother, and then secretly transfer the person to Chenliu. Remember, you have to bring people back no matter what method you use, but you have to be polite to them, you know? After seeing Wang De, Zhang Chao remembered Lu Su's matter, and thought of Cai Yong and what he said that Lu Su was very filial.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it well." Wang De hurriedly wrote down this important event in his heart.
"Hehe, okay, the money has been taken, the wine has been drunk, the meat has been eaten, now let's go see the horses together." As soon as Zhang Chao said this, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others over there also hurriedly got up and stood up.
Standing up, it was dozens of people in Hulala, who followed behind Zhuxi and went straight to the horse market.
As soon as I entered the horse market, there was a smell of horse manure and horse urine. Fortunately, everyone has dealt with horses, and they don't care about that.
After entering the horse market, Zhu Xi began to talk endlessly, "To say that the art of Soma is also very exquisite, Soma should see that its head should be tall and handsome, and the face should be thin and less fleshy." The ears should be small, the ears are small, the liver is small, and the horse with a small liver is good at understanding people's intentions; Horses with compact, short ears and a very responsive ear. If the nose is big, the lungs will be big, and the lung capacity of horses with large lungs will be large, which is conducive to running. If the eyes are big, the heart is big, and the horse with a big heart is brave and not easy to be frightened; The hip tubercle to the spine should be flatter, and flatter horses tend to gain weight. The four hooves should be as sturdy and sturdy as a stake. From a distance, it looks like a tall horse, but when you look closer, it's not too big, and it's a light horse with well-developed muscles and good structure. From a distance, it looks small, but up close, it looks like a tall, fat-fat horse......"
In the process of explaining, Zhu Xi also whispered to the horses in the other stables, such as how the horse was, where there was a problem, what was the horse, and where it was not qualified. This gave Zhang Chao a deeper understanding of Jianma's understanding.
After talking for a while, he finally came to the depths of the horse market, that is, next to the stables of Zhu Xi's group, and then saw him pointing to these horses and said, "Look, these are some healthy horses, and they are the best in the whole horse market." ”
Sure enough, three strong horses that looked strong and fat appeared in everyone's sight.
"A good horse indeed." According to the knowledge that Zhu Xi said just now, Zhang Chao took a closer look at the three horses, and then nodded with satisfaction, these three horses have indeed reached all the standards just mentioned.
What is particularly striking is that the color of these three horses is all snow-white, without a trace of variegation, making it more eye-catching.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhang Chao looked at these three white horses and liked them very much. "How about it, Zhuxi, let me introduce you."
