I saw Xiaobai's mouth open and close, back and forth several times, and his face turned red - obviously the words in his mouth were a little difficult to speak.

Ji Yi's face turned pale: "You mean, is there something wrong?" ”

"Are you hurt?"

Ying Zhuo's lips were tightly pursed into a line, and although he didn't say a word, he obviously paid attention to Xiaobai's expression.

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, covered his small head, and sighed like an adult: "Our lord said that he should go to the stables to see the horse ...... first."

“…… I didn't enter the city, I went directly to the grassland west of the city! ”

The women were dumbfounded!

Watching the horses in the stable? What horses to see?

Oh, I remember—take a look at the more than 20,000 fine war horses extorted from the hands of the Qin people!

Ji Yi couldn't help but touch her forehead with her hand...... No matter how much this Xiong Wuliang wins, he is still the familiar wealth fan!

When you arrive at the door, don't enter the house, first go to see the seized treasure...... It's you!

Ying Zhuo's face was relieved, obviously he was also worried about Xiong Wuliang just now. But he was ruthless, and snorted arrogantly: "It's just 20,000 horses, and it's like this?" ”

That being said, now that Xiong Wuliang has returned to the fiefdom, everyone can't hold it back. Ji Yi's fluttering proposal made everyone agree - so Ji Yi, Ying Zhuo, Xiao Bai, and the retainers and servants of the mansion rushed to the 'horse shed' in the west of the city.

……

It is said to be a 'horse shed', but in fact, this pasture covers a huge area!

It is said that more than 20,000 scrawny horses were driven back to Quyang County...... Qu Yuan, who stayed in Quyang County, was shocked!

Of course, Qu Yuan understood what a great fortune more than 20,000 Qin war horses were for the Chu State - he didn't dare to slack off immediately, and immediately set aside a large piece of land in the western suburbs of Quyang City, where every inch of land was valuable, for these treasures to rest.

As for forage and drinking water, they are all openly supplied!

At the same time, the best men were arranged to take care of the horses and guard the pastures...... Fortunately, the infrastructure capacity of Quyang County is now amazing, and it didn't take long to build rows of horse sheds and domestication sites in the west of the city.

Ji Yi, Ying Zhuo, Xiao Bai and the people of the Hou Mansion came to this horse farm, and saw Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot from a distance...... When he got closer, he saw Xiong Wuliang with an infatuated face, and he made his hand on a war horse......

Pat this, pinch that.

Rub this one's ass and pat that one's legs.

The women were dumbfounded!

……

Xiao Hei beside Xiong Wuliang saw his sister Xiaobai from a distance, and couldn't help but look happy, but he still stayed by Xiong Wuliang's side loyally, and just reminded the latter in a low voice: "Lord, someone from the Hou Mansion is here." ”

Xiong Wuliang suddenly raised his head and saw the women staring at him with disdain...... Even though Xiong Wuliang was extremely thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem, long time no see......" Xiong Wuliang smiled, leaned over to Xiaoyi's side, and pinched the latter's face.

Ji Yi looked Xiong Wuliang up and down, touched everywhere, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with rain: "It is said that this battle was thrilling and tragic, and the concubine does not hope that the prince can have much credit, as long as he is not injured......

Xiong Wuliang smiled: "What are you panicking about? The sword of the Qin people can also hurt me? ”

This is pretended to be in place, but Yingzhuo next to him doesn't like to listen to it very much...... It is said that Ying Zhuo saw that Xiong Wuliang was fine, and he was relieved, but he said arrogantly: "Hmph, it's just a fluke victory with three points...... Although my Great Qin has been defeated, his vitality is still there, and sooner or later what he has lost will have to be taken back with his own hands! ”

As a Qin person, how could Ying Zhuo not know the importance of [Wuguan]?

If you lose Wuguan, Xianyang won't be able to sleep well!

Xiong Wuliang glanced at Ying Zhuo, and once again sighed in his heart that the latter's figure was really convex and pouting...... While not forgetting the yin and yang, he said strangely: "Ahem, these 20,000 war horses, the Qin people can't take them back." ”

"Benhou's purpose is - if you eat it in your mouth, don't want me to spit it back."

"Tsk, this is more than 20,000 good Qin war horses...... In our Chu country, it can be said that there is no price, and no matter how much money you have, you can't buy it! ”

"You Qin people are still weird, and you actually gave it to Benhou ...... at a price that was almost free."

Ying Zhuo looked at Xiong Wuliang's lazy and shameless appearance, and rolled his eyes in anger - how can this product look like a prince of a big country?

"You should have let the Black Ice Assassin give you a sword a long time ago......" Ying Zhuo gritted his silver teeth and glared at Xiong Wuliang angrily, his full chest fell together, rippling...... caused Xiong Wuliang to take a few looks.

……

Raising horses is very expensive, and the maintenance cost of more than 20,000 horses is even higher than the cost of raising 20,000 ordinary soldiers.

Eat the best forage, and from time to time you have to add a nutritious meal...... The water you drink is also good water after strict quality inspection.

If you have a thousand iron coins in your hand, you may be able to buy a sturdy slave in the market, but you will never be able to buy a fine war horse—in this day and age, the price of a good horse is far more valuable than human life.

"Lord, these were originally the best war horses...... After screening, some of the horses were injured and may be lame......"

"There are also war horses that have not eaten for a long time, and they have injured their vitality, even if they are well maintained, it is difficult to recover completely." The official in charge of the horse farm said, with undisguised regret on his face.

Xiong Wuliang nodded—it wasn't beyond his expectations.

At the beginning, the Qin army under Bai Qi's command crossed the uninhabited land of Danyang, and these war horses suffered a great crime - they didn't eat or drink, and they had to run wildly.

The only source of food was the withered grass under the snow—after passing through the land of Danyang, these horses were already hungry and crumbling.

"How many horses are expected to be restored?" Xiong Wuliang asked.

The official who raised the horse scratched his head, a little helpless: "Return to the lord - it should be about fifteen thousand......"

Xiong Wuliang sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, lame, debilitated horses are not worthless – at least they can pull carts or plough the fields. In the state of Chu, any livestock is a valuable asset.

Fifteen thousand horses...... Although it is much less than Xiong Wuliang imagined, it also has great value!

Maybe...... Xiong Wuliang can use these fifteen thousand excellent war horses to form the first formed cavalry of the Chu State!

Cavalry, that's the trend of future battlefield development!

If you can have a cavalry worthy of a battle, you can completely reduce the dimensionality of the enemy army without cavalry - just the fact that you can outflank the rear road and rob the baggage with the mobility of the cavalry is enough to make the old-fashioned army with a combination of chariots and foot soldiers overwhelmed and unable to do anything.

This is the second Danyang War that has just ended...... The loss was that the winter was started, and the cavalry of the Qin State did not give full play to the advantage of interspersed and circuitous mobility......

Otherwise, the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Qin army can knock the head of the Chu army out of!

Xiong Wuliang finished visiting the horse farm, and with a wave of his hand, he led the girls straight back to the house-with a big deal in his heart, so he didn't care about being entangled with Xiaoyi, but went straight to Qu Yuan's residence-
