After the Blue Wolf Army and the Ma Teng Army had been gone for a long time. The people who watched the scene at the head of Zuli City gradually came back to their senses, and everyone enthusiastically discussed the harvest and experience of watching the cavalry battle just now, and for a while they didn't care about saying goodbye to Lord Situ who went to the city.

Cao Chun and ** came together very tacitly, and the two saw envy and unwillingness in each other's eyes.

"The cavalry of the Jin Kingdom is so powerful, no wonder it can crisscross the north, exterminate the arrogant Xianbei people, and completely eradicate the high-flying Dong Zhuo. ** said with emotion.

"Brother Yuancai (** word) is true, if I can get the strong riding of the Jin Kingdom, I am not afraid of the Xianbei barbarians or the Xiliang Jing horse. Cao Chun said with some hatred.

"Brother Zihe (Cao Chunzi) has such ambitions, which is admirable. However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although Yanzhou is a rich land, but it is not a pity to produce war horses!" ** said again.

Cao Chun obviously had thought about the question raised by **, so he replied: "The Jin State controls the war horses in the north, and in the future, we can only find a way to buy horses from the Liang Kingdom and Ma Teng." After all, our Youzhou and Yanzhou are rich, and if we exchange grain and gold and silver, even if it is more expensive, we can still buy back a lot of war horses. ”

"Brother Zi and Brother are reasonable, let's go negotiate with Liu Yu and Ma Teng's subordinates to discuss the purchase of horses!" **After speaking, he dragged Cao Chun down to Zuli City.

After leaving, there were a few people muttering above the city. These people are representatives of the central army of the imperial court, they are Fu Wei, the captain of the Yue cavalry, who came on behalf of the northern army, Zhu Jun, the son of Zhu Jun, who came on behalf of the southern army, and Huangfu Jianshou, the eldest son of Huangfu Song, who came on behalf of the Yulin army and the forbidden army.

Fu Wei spoke first: "Two major generals, how do you feel when you watch the Jin cavalry and the Xiliang Ma Teng cavalry face each other today?"

Zhu Hao said hatefully: "The imperial court has repeatedly asked the Jin State to pay tribute to the war horses, but it has always been rejected by Zhao Xing for all kinds of reasons, and now it seems that there are only tens of thousands of good horses in the horse farms around the Jin Kingdom, which is really hateful!"

Huangfu Jianshou patted Zhu Hao on the shoulder, signaled him to pay attention to the occasion when he spoke, and then said in a deep voice: "War horses are strategic resources, so Zhao Xing has long been disobedient, how can he send war horses to the imperial court?"

Fu Wei then said: "I don't know if the two young generals have heard Wang Situ mention the harvest of coming to Liangguo this time? Liu Yu promised to supply Liangzhou war horses to the imperial court at a low price in the future, and in the future, we don't need to look at Zhao Xing's face, we can also buy good war horses from Liangguo and Ma Teng!"

When the two heard Fu Wei say this, their eyes immediately widened and they said in unison: "Is this serious?"

"How dare you play tricks on the two major generals!" Fu Wei replied with an affirmative face.

"Let's go, let's go and find the person in charge of Liu Yu and Ma Teng's tent, how can we first finalize next year's share this time! The horses ridden by the soldiers of the second battalion of the Yue cavalry and the tun cavalry of the Northern Army are simply unsightly compared to the blue wolf army!" Zhu Hao ran towards the city as he spoke, regardless of the Huangfu Jianshou behind him, who smiled bitterly and only shook his head.

The envoys from all walks of life who were in a complicated mood at the head of Zuli City gradually dispersed, and they either went to Liu Yu's subordinates to discuss, or they found Ma Teng's subordinates to discuss, the purpose was nothing more than to be able to buy war horses with moderate prices and high quality from the territory of Liangguo in the future. For such a dazzling deal, Zhao Xing did not mean to monopolize it, he had reached a consensus with Ma Teng, and in the future, the two sides would unify the price and limit the total amount of war horse exports, so as to ensure that the price of war horses would not drop significantly because of mutual price reduction.

The territory occupied by Ma Teng is not the Hetao area with abundant water and grass and the broader desert grassland, and the war horses produced in a year can be sold at most in addition to equipping their own army, and the proportion of the share of war horse trading is very small, so they do not have the ability to argue with Zhao Xing at all. Since Zhao Xing made such a suggestion to take care of himself, he naturally nodded hurriedly and agreed, and directly left the business of selling horses to Ma Chao and was responsible, which could be regarded as handing over his small treasury to his eldest son.

Zhao Xing's carefully arranged joint military exercise, in addition to bringing a huge impact to the envoys from all walks of life, will also bring back huge wealth to the Jin State and the Liang State in the future.

It is said that at the time of the military exercise, Zhao Xing did not appear in Zuli City, he had already arrived in Gaoping City with Dian Wei and Guo Jia. Zhao Xing believes that even if he is not at the scene, with the ability of Liu Yu, Tai Shici, Ma Chao and others, they will not mess up this matter. He was in a hurry to go to Gaoping City because there were a few people who had been delayed for months and had to be seen. It turned out that Dong Zhuo's adviser Li Ru, generals Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, and Li Meng were four people.

After Dong Zhuo's army was defeated and captured, Li Ru and several other generals who were lucky not to be killed by Ma Chao's spear were naturally caught and imprisoned. Because these people were all Dong Zhuo's subordinates, they gave Zhao Xing a headache for a long time in how to deal with them.

Dong Zhuo is different from Gongsun Zhan, although Gongsun Chan suffered some hardships in Zhao Xing's hands, but the grudge was not ruthless, so Zhao Xing could accept Gongsun Zhan's subordinates in its entirety, and even let Gongsun Chan serve as Youzhou Mu. Dong Zhuo and Zhao Xing are mortal enemies, Dong Zhuo's old department who died under Zhao Xing's generals, there were as many as five people before and after, and there were three Ye Xiong, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji who were poached by Zhao Xing. Of the remaining four people, Zhao Xing took a fancy to Li Ru and Duan Xuan, but he was always afraid that raising tigers would cause trouble and bite himself in the future.

In a word, Zhao Xing is not at ease with the loyalty of these four people. Although he was not at ease, Zhao Xing couldn't help but kill them all. After all, even Dong Zhuo, the main culprit, was only under house arrest on Baishi Mountain, and the other accomplices were even more guilty of death.

On the way back to Gaoping City, Zhao Xing told Guo Jia about the hesitation in his heart. Guo Jia thought for a moment and said very seriously: "Now is the time to employ people, since you think that a few people are available, why bother to mind their past? Don't you see that after Ding Yuan and Lu Bu's dozens of people joined the state, they were all content with their duties and fulfilled their duties?"

"Okay, don't be suspicious and don't suspect people. This time I went to Gaoping City, and I gave them their names. Zhao Xing finally figured out the matter, so he didn't bother anymore.

Zhao Xing walked all the way to the east, and saw that the number of pedestrians and business travelers on the road gradually increased, and when he entered Gaoping, it was already bustling and lively. The caravan from afar in the direction of the Jin Kingdom in the east was hurriedly transporting a large number of goods to the city, and the merchants of the Jin Kingdom who came out of the city with empty cars were heading east with their followers recruited nearby, and everything seemed to be on the right track.

In the Liangwang Mansion, Zhao Xing first met Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji. This time back to the Jin Kingdom, according to Zhang Ji's request, Zhao Xing will take the Zhang family with him.

Zhang Ji has an easy-going personality and does not have much ambition as a general, so he has been tepid under Dong Zhuo's account. Later, Zhang Xiu secretly came to persuade him to join the Jin Kingdom, and he didn't say anything, so he nodded and agreed to his nephew's persuasion. When Zhang Xiu arrived at Di Dao with his men, it was this gentle veteran who opened the gate of Di Dao and put nearly 10,000 wolf troops pretending to be Dong Zhuojun into the city, so it was a great achievement.

Although he had merit, Zhang Ji did not ask for anything, but said that he had lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and he was a little tired and wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to die of his old age. Zhao Xing saw that Zhang Ji was thinking about his nephew so much, so he naturally enthusiastically agreed to give the Zhang family a big mansion in Crouching Tiger City to settle down, and "fiercely" criticized Zhang Ji Yitong, saying that he was now in the prime of life, and should do more things for the people, and involuntarily arranged a position for Zhang Ji as the Taishou of Yunzhong County.

Why is Zhang Ji thinking about his nephew everywhere? Because Zhang Ji was worried that after Zhang Xiu defected to Zhao Xing, he would be suspected of being a traitor to Dong Zhuo and would not be reused, so Zhang Ji took the initiative to send himself as a hostage to Zhao Xing's hands!

After meeting Zhang Ji, Zhao Xing asked Li Ru to come and see him. Speaking of which, as long as Zhao Xing tries his best to recruit talents, except for a few of them, it seems that the success rate is very high. Except for the frustration of the year, the later Pang De, and Zhang Yi of Yizhou, Zhao Xing has not missed a hand.

This has a lot to do with the fact that he is good at reading people's hearts and does not rely on the threat of force and intimidation.

Although Li Ru and the others were prisoners, Zhao Xing did not insult and abuse them, in addition to restricting personal freedom, no chaos was in the arrangement and care of daily life, or the supply of books, medical care, etc., Zhao Xing made careful arrangements. Therefore, Li Ru and others were under house arrest for a few months, and their lives were relatively leisurely. During this period, Zhao Xing even asked Dong Zhuo's eldest son-in-law Niu Fu to come and meet with everyone, and told several old officials about the recent situation of Dong Zhuo and his people.

Because of these humane foreshadowing and arrangements, Li Ru was very respectful when he saw Zhao Xing, and did not show any resentment or indifference.

Zhao Xing was in a hurry to return to the Jin Kingdom, so he didn't talk in circles, and after seeing Li Ru, he said directly: "I know that Wenyou (Li Ruzi) has great talents, and I can't bear to cover the dust of the pearl, and I want to return to the Jin Kingdom with him, I don't know what the monarch wants?"

After Li Ru listened, he bowed and replied: "Fortunately, Master Taifu is not suspicious, dare not obey!"

Li Ru's matter was settled so easily, and then Zhao Xing rushed to meet Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen and Wang Fang one after another.

Even Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru is willing to follow Zhao Xing, and these generals from the army naturally have nothing to say, and they have all expressed their willingness to follow Zhao Xing, and in the future, they will all rely on the summons before and after the saddle.

After dealing with the affairs of these people, Zhao Xing stayed in Gaoping City for a few days, and met with several new Taishou who came from the Jin Kingdom to report one by one, in addition to saying some words of encouragement, he also specifically mentioned that this appointment is of great significance, and in the future, depending on everyone's performance, those who work hard will have the opportunity to be a state pastor in the future!

Zhao Xing's words, everyone understood when they heard it, and when they thought that they were following the future emperor to fight the world, how many were not excited?
