016: Planned
Rafal from Pantos. Ann Long Cohen, son of Bratis. Blatis set out to return, satisfied. Although he experienced some twists and turns and was a little frightened, this trip to the grassland made him ten times more profitable.
If you can make a tenfold profit just by being scared by a few scares, Aaron Cohen hopes that such scares will happen every day.
It's not life-threatening anyway, is it?
"Teucer, take care of my horse, and if one runs away, I'll skin you!" Threatening to his slave Teucer, Anronkorn stroked his golden beard: "Thank you to the great black goat for giving me good luck and wealth. β
When Anronkorn left, Liu Jian gave him a full three hundred horses. Not pack horses, not bad horses, but three hundred of the finest Dothraki horses.
This is for those who are able to access the city of the King of Horses. It was nothing to the giants of Dothraki's business, of course, but to Anronkorn, a small merchant who had followed a caravan, it was undoubtedly a great fortune.
Anronkorn looked with satisfaction at the sturdy and spirited herd of horses, which were his possessions.
Though...... The foolish Kao asked him to transport the horses to Kohor for weapons and back, but Anroncohen would not be so stupid, and he was not prepared to hand over the wealth since it was in his hands.
Of course, Anronkorn is well aware of how murderous the Dothraki are.
He knew better what deceiving a Dothraki and betraying a promise to a Kao could ultimately lead to for a small merchant like him.
There are many Kao in the Dothraki steppes, some powerful. And some are weak.
And luckily, that stupid and naΓ―ve Kao. It just offended the one who couldn't be offended the most on the sea of Dothraki grass.
"Teucer, you stupid bastard. Don't hurt my horse! β
Maybe I should sacrifice Teucer to the Black Goat?
Aaron Cohen thought so.
It's time to buy some better slaves, like Nas. Those dark-skinned, obedient and docile Nas slaves.
Aaron Cohen remembered the obedient Naas girls he had seen in Reese's brothel.
He suddenly felt that he should have a Nass girl by his side.
While An Long Cohen fantasized about his beautiful life, Liu Jian was chatting with Cheng Caiwei.
"Just let him go, okay?" Cheng Caiwei looked at Liu Jian and couldn't help but ask, "Can we really trust him?" β
"How is that possible? Unless I'm crazy. Liu Jian smiled and said: "After he goes back, he will definitely not bring me weapons and supplies as we agreed, the most likely is to find a place to hide, wait quietly for three months, and wait for the 'horse king' to come back and kill me and burn my body to ashes." And he can"
"In that case, why did the husband let him go. And also gave him three hundred horses? Regarding Liu Jian's decision, Cheng Caiwei really can't understand it.
"It's not a big deal, the Dothraki Meadows are full of wild horses."
Liu Jian shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "If I can win that battle in three months, I will need a businessman under my control to bring me what I want for a long time." If I can't win that battle three months later, then all my stuff is the trophy of the 'King of Horses', and naturally I don't need to care. β
'King of Horses'.
A person Liu Jian is very familiar with.
His name was Drogo.
He is one of the most powerful Kao in the Dothraki Sea, and the youngest of the most powerful Kao in the Dothraki Sea. His invincible bravery on the battlefield made many Dothraki people. Even the Pantos, Kohors, and Norversians believed that this man had a good chance of becoming the first Kao ever to rule over all of Dothraki.
He is also the first husband of Daenerys in the near future, the Mother of Dragons, who was born by Storm.
Drogo's Karasa had hundreds of thousands of men and nearly 40,000 roaring warriors, a term that had gone through war and achieved victories and exploits. The best of the Dothraki cavalry in their youth. In addition to these 40,000 roaring warriors, counting the slightly inferior, such as the old man and the young man who still have combat effectiveness. Drogo's entire Karasa has a total of 100,000 combat power.
No matter where it is placed, 100,000 cavalry and 40,000 elites. It's all a terrifying force.
Of course, these 40,000 roaring warriors are all subservient to Drogo's Kao status. But in normal times, it is not always led by Drogo at all times. Most of the Roaring Warriors, along with their tribes, were divided into a dozen or so kas by Kao, grazing and plundering in the Great Meadows of Dothraki. On weekdays, Drogo is followed only by a smaller team of Cass and his elite Blood Alliance.
Unfortunately, the Cass that Liu Jian attacked belonged to Drogo's Karatha.
Liu Jian attacked Drogo's Cass, killing his Kou and annexing his clan.
Drogo will surely respond in the most drastic way.
Because this is the law of the jungle that has prevailed for thousands of years and has never changed in the Dothraki Great Grass Sea, the strong eat meat, and the weak are eaten. As long as Drogo showed the slightest weakness, he turned from a predator to a prey in the eyes of those who cared for him.
Therefore, his inevitable choice and only choice is to kill Liu Jian, and use Liu Jian's head to declare that he is still strong and inviolable.
As soon as he thought about it, he would have to face this man who was probably the most powerful individual in the entire A Song of Ice and Fire story, and even more exaggerated, he also had one of the most powerful military forces in the entire Dothraki Sea. Even if he has a perfect traverser and a plug-in man, Liu Jian, who thinks of himself as a prophet, will inevitably feel a little headache.
No matter how good he is, he is the level of a hundred enemies and a thousand enemies, and what he can do on the battlefield will not be much more than Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and he can kill a few more people than Xiang Yu, and if he has more, his physical strength will not be able to support it, so he can only choose to escape.
But Drogo had nearly 100,000 troops, let alone himself. Drogo also has allies.
And Liu Jian, even after this battle. There were only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the full range, and a little more than 1,000 of them had just been attached to the soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Drogo. Really wait until the time of the war with Drogo. Liu Jian will never believe the loyalty of these people. The originally conquered Cass was also a little detached because of Liu Jian's order not to loot **, if these people were allowed to see the crisis of Liu Jian's demise, their betrayal at a critical moment was almost certain.
The only good news is that Drogo left the area not long ago.
One of his small forces in Karatha, which he commanded directly, headed for Vess. Dothraki, given the distance and the speed of his troops, should not be able to return here until three months later.
Until Drogo's return, his Karatha was temporarily leaderless.
There will be no one, and no one will be able to unite the scattered Cass under Drogo, to launch a counterattack against Liu Jian.
Perhaps such people exist in Drogo's Calasari. But such a person will inevitably be taken by Drogo's side.
Although civilization is backward. But human nature is the same after all.
With this level of defensiveness, Drogo could not have been without.
Although three months was a short time, this little preparation time also made Liu Jian feel that his victory rate had risen from absolutely impossible to hopeless, and then counting the gap between the combat effectiveness and command ability of the leaders of the two sides...... It doesn't seem to be very difficult to do.
"Should I be the protagonist? The author is forcing me to open time to hang it. He complained in his heart as if he was happy.
Liu Jian smiled and said to Cheng Caiwei: "Actually, I think he may want me to win more." β
"Why?"
"After all, if I lose, he will earn three hundred horses for nothing, but that's all. Back in Pantos, he was still a small businessman with little status. But if I win, he has a chance to become a business tycoon. How many merchants are there in the whole Pantos? How many merchants in the whole of Pantos were doing business with the Dothraki? How many of the merchants in Pantos who did business with the Dothraki were able to make a lot of money, and how rich was the country? I'm giving him that opportunity right now. β
"I still don't think it's right." Although she has all the good qualities of ancient Chinese women, Cheng Caiwei is not a voice worm for her husband and wife. She respects Liu Jian's opinions and ideas. But he will also have his own thoughts and ideas: "This person is a treacherous person at first glance, a man who drills camps." β
An Long Cohen is a businessman, and as a Western Han native, Cheng Caiwei's disdain for businessmen is almost engraved in her bones.
In the Western Han Dynasty. Both Legalists and Confucianism have said that "the merchants of the other generation made a fortune by selling and selling with skillful skills, and their wealth was comparable to that of princes." However, it is not beneficial to the country, and it is not beneficial to the country. The five beetles should also be killed! Something like that. Even the old Huang faction, who is recognized as a warm-mouthed drinker, has an attitude towards businessmen with disgust, contempt, and simply can't see it.
Even...... Even the businessmen themselves look down on themselves, but once a businessman makes a fortune by any means, the first thing he does is definitely not to expand reproduction and make more money, but to help the children who have grown up in the family to donate to the official progress, and turn from a businessman to a family of poets and scholars, as long as they can achieve this goal, they don't care how much money they spend.
It's like many black bosses now thinking about going ashore to wash their white.
Liu Jian's cheap uncle has now donated an official body to himself, and Liu Che also gave Liu Jian face and made him an official by his side. As for the past business, he only asked his family to take care of it, but he never interfered anymore.
"It's because he's not a good guy and he's bold that he's useful to me." Liu Jian squinted his eyes and suddenly said: "Hang the noose of the capitalists, they will produce it themselves and sell it to us." β
"What?"
"Nothing." Liu Jian shook his head with a smile: "Let's go see those children, how are they, are they still obedient?" β
"It's okay, they're all bitter children, as long as they are given food, they have a chance to be obedient. It's just ......" Speaking of this, Cheng Caiwei couldn't help frowning: "It's too difficult to teach them to speak Chinese." β
"It's a long-term job, and it's hard to rush. Don't rush it, just give them some simple vocabulary first, so that they can listen and write some simple military order notes in Chinese. After all, teaching them Chinese is just for the convenience of command, and I don't expect to be able to cultivate any military and legalist talents from these people. (To be continued.) )
