Yang Fu smiled: "Okay, then I'll be waiting for the big car rider in Jincheng to come." I don't know whether the chariot will come in on a war horse or be carried in by someone. ”

Huangfu Song snorted coldly and said, "Jin Ma Chao sent you, it won't be specially to humiliate the old man, right?" ”

Yang Fu said: "Of course not. The young master of my family has always respected the car rider as a famous general in the world, and he is always on guard, how can he be disrespectful? The reason why he was sent down was actually to negotiate a business with the imperial court. ”

"What business?"

Yang Fu said: "Fang Cai Cheqi threatened to enter Liangzhou. Once this business is negotiated, the chances of entering Liangzhou will be much greater. ”

Dong Zhuo sneered: "Hmph, the words are so subtle, is Jinma Chao willing to sell the war horse to me?" ”

Yang Fu was stunned and said, "How did Zhong Ying know?" ”

Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were stunned, and Dong Zhuo was stunned: "What? Jin Ma Chao is willing to sell the war horse to the imperial court? You're not joking, are you? ”

Yang Fu shook his head and said, "Of course not, my Liangzhou is indeed looking for a batch of buyers for war horses." There are 40,000 of these war horses, all of which are good horses that have been in the battlefield for a long time, and they do not need to be blindfolded on the battlefield, because these war horses have long been accustomed to seeing arrows and flying stones. Of course, the males of these war horses are gelding, and they are extremely tamed. ”

40,000 horses are enough to form 40,000 horsemen. I think that back then, when Wei Qing and Huo went to the northern expedition against the Huns, they only led 50,000 horsemen each time. As for the scale of 100,000 horsemen, 200,000 horsemen, and 300,000 horsemen, that was the scale only available to the Northern Expedition of Mengtian in the Qin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Song was the leading general in the Han official army, only under the great general He Jin. And He Jin has only been a general for two or three years, and he has never led troops, so Huangfu Song is the actual first person in the military of the Han Dynasty.

Regarding the details of the Han official army, Huangfu Song dared to say that no one knew better than him. In addition to the 50,000 horsemen he has here, the Han Dynasty only has 10,000 or 20,000 horsemen in Luoyang City, and 10,000 horses under the tent of Gongsun Zhan, the commander of Youzhou. This is the current situation of the Han cavalry.

If another 40,000 cavalry can be formed, the strength of the imperial court will naturally reach a higher level, and it will not even be impossible to clean up the Qingzhou soldiers. Yuan Peng, Zhou Shen and Bao Hong were all similar to Huangfu Song's psychology, and their eyes were straight when they heard that Yang Fu was going to sell 40,000 war horses, and they were battle-hardened war horses.

But no one's eyes are straighter than Dong Zhuo's. Dong Zhuo suddenly thought that if he could win war horses in this war horse transaction, such as 10,000 horses, then he would have a legitimate reason to recruit another 10,000 cavalry, so that his strength would be stronger, and he would be more confident in front of Huangfu Song in the future, and he would have more strength to compete for Liangzhou. Because he was so excited, Dong Zhuo even licked his lower lip.

The expressions of these five people all fell in Yang Fu's eyes. Yang Fu said: "How? Are you interested in these 40,000 horses? If not, I'll take my leave. ”

Huangfu Song sneered: "Wait! No matter what you say about the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion, you are still the ministers of the Han Dynasty, and these war horses are also the Han Dynasty. It should have been handed over to the Son of Heaven and decided by the imperial court, how could he dare to sell public goods here? ”

Yang Fu smiled: "Riding a car, we don't have to be so hypocritical, right?" What is the relationship between you and me, that is, Xiliang and the imperial court, don't you know? Hugh wants to use any righteousness to pressure me and others, if you don't want these war horses, you can leave immediately. ”

Huangfu Song was speechless, and Yang Fu said again: "However, I think that your court has no reason not to agree to this deal. ”

"Oh, would you like to hear about it?"

Yang Fu said: "First, there is a shortage of cavalry in the official army, and there are too few horses in the imperial court, and now there are 50,000 horses, so it must be the end of the crossbow, right?" Perhaps many of the horses ridden by the cavalry were inferior horses. The horses used by our Liangzhou Thorn Mansion to pull and transport stones are much better than the horses of the official army, and they are all high, strong-legged, shiny fur, and fast BMW horses. ”

This point hit Huangfu Song's sore spot, and he was speechless again. Indeed, in order to form a scale of 50,000 horsemen, Huangfu Song had to use at least 10,000 inferior horses with short strength and insufficient training to serve as war horses. The devil knows what the consequences of such a war horse on the battlefield will be.

"Also, now the Xiongnu and Karasuma are no longer willing to be driven by the imperial court, and gradually separated from the Han Dynasty. To say that the imperial court is not worried that they will invade the Han realm, it is absolutely unbelievable. There is a more powerful Xianbei above the curtain, and the fiasco of Xia Yu has proved that Xianbei is not low in strength, and sooner or later it will become a huge threat to the imperial court. At this point, it is impossible for the rider not to anticipate this.

Besides, now the Central Plains is full of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and Montenegrin Army each have millions of people, which is much more threatening than Xianbei. What's more, the imperial court has to face our Xiliang. In such a grim situation, does the imperial court really not need war horses? ”

Huangfu Song said: "What I said is very right. But why doesn't the old man buy it? How are you going? ”

Yang Fu smiled: "Okay, then I'll go and ask the Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Qiang Canal." The Xiongnu had already suffered from frequent requisitions in the imperial court and was exhausted, so he would have agreed. ”

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Yang Yishan, you are so calculating!" ”

Yang Fu smiled silently.

Huangfu Song endured his anger and said, "Okay, the old man will go to the court and buy these 40,000 war horses." Let's make a price! ”

Yang Fu said: "It's very simple: one war horse for four ploughing oxen, to be healthy and grown. ”

"What?! Four-headed? Why don't you grab it? Yuan said angrily.

Yang Fu said with a smile: "Hmph, your Yuan family is the first family in the world, maybe you can come up with 10,000 ploughing cattle." Not to mention the entire imperial court? After all, there are thousands of families under the rule of the imperial court, not to mention that every county has specially raised cultivated cattle. ”

Yuan was speechless, because as far as he knew, there were more than 10,000 ploughing cattle that Yuan could take out.

Huangfu Song whispered to Bao Hong: "How many ploughing cattle does Sanfu still have?" ”

Bao Hong is too guarded by the right wind, and he is naturally clear about the details of Sanfu. Bao Hong said in a low voice: "I don't know, it's not a problem to exchange for those 40,000 war horses." ”

Huangfu Song now had a bottom in his heart, and said: "Four ploughing cattle are too many, three!" Within ten days, the old man sent 120,000 ploughing cattle! ”

Yang Fu knew that the standard set by Ma Chao was to exchange a war horse for three ploughing oxen, and now Huangfu Song's counteroffer was just right, so he pretended to be reluctant and said: "Okay, since it is a huge face of the car ride, although there are few three, there are only three heads." ”

Huangfu Song felt that he had eaten a bargain, and hurriedly beckoned to Changshi, wrote the contract of fate, and immediately signed it with Yang Fu.
