Xiakou, as the New Year was approaching, the city was suspended.

After two months of building a city, the contour of the new city has appeared. For more than 20 miles long in the city, the city wall has been repaired and covered by the vast snow.

In the cigarettes, the ups and downs of the ground, the snow was filled with it, and became a white flat ground.

In the distance, the Huangli Mountain was also covered by thick heavy snow.

However, the pier is very lively. Some of the ships on the dock have been removed. A wide pier is empty, enough for the Qianshi River ship to go shore.

Tao guys stood in front of more than a hundred carriages and looked at the river anxiously, seemingly waiting for something.

Liu Yan, Liu Hu, Wei Yan, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Liao Hua and other high -ranking officials gathered in a pavilion on the dock. Everyone's eyes were shining, full of expectations.

Liu Yan's expression was calm and waiting patiently for the arrival of the Tao fleet. He actually had a little worried that the Tao family fleet would be intercepted by the Jingzhou Water Army halfway because of the extremely important strategic supplies that transported it in the big ship.

On the side, Tao Zheng's heart was very excited, but he was even more worried. After all, this is the farthest merchant in the Tao family for decades, and it is huge. It is a special dowry by sister Tao Zhan.

Credit will be the most heavy blow.

The entire pier was quiet, and everyone was looking forward to the coming of the fleet. At this time, someone shouted, "Come!"

Then many people shouted, "Come! Come!"

Liu Yan also saw that under the reflection of the setting sun, a fleet consisting of more than a hundred large ships drove to the dock. Liu Ye was relieved, so good, but fortunately, it was not intercepted by the Jingzhou Water Army.

Otherwise, the Jingzhou Civil War is really about to break out.

Tao Zheng was so excited that he ran to the dock and shouted loudly: "Ready to pick up the ship!"

Dozens of Tao guys rushed up. As the first big ship slowed down, the board board was on the pier, and the dock suddenly cheered. Liu Yan also couldn't bear the inner excitement.

Liu Hu and Gan Ning have already ran on the big ship first, and they are even more anxious.

A group of war horses were led out, and they stepped down the ship. Liu Yan's eyes suddenly brightened. There were many horses in Jiangxia. Most of them were horses and ordinary animal power, while the horses in front of them were completely different.

War Horse, from the Hexi Corridor.

Even the war horses in Liu Biaojun were obviously inferior, which made Liu Yan can't help but think of the Xia Houyuan cavalry he had seen in Runan. The running was like a mountain, and only such war horses could do it.

He slowly walked to this group of war horses and gently stroked every war horse, like the most beautiful women who touched the most beautiful women, they were tall and strong, the limbs were well, gray, black, white, or red fur.

Flashing in the reflection, the long tail flies, the tall horse's neck is densely brushed with a brushed mane, which are all young and young horses.

A large ship came out of the ship, and a group of war horses came out of the ship. It soon crowded the docks. The war horses were horses. Most of them were docile. Obviously, they all had good training.

Waiting for more than a thousand soldiers on the dock rushed forward, each person took a horse, and their expression seemed to meet the arrival of their wives.

These thousands of war horses are bought in batches from Liangzhou's high prices in batches, walking from Chuanlong Road to Hanzhong, from Hanzhong to Shangyong, and then to Nanyang.

The manor of more water, and finally came from the water boat to Xiakou from the water. There are as many as fifty people who are responsible for taking care of the horse.

The cost and bribery on the road alone, there are more than a thousand pounds of gold. The bribes of Yang Song, the number one in Zhang Lu, who alone, reached 500 pounds of gold.

This is also the largest business that the Tao family has done in the past two years. As Tao Zhan's special dowry, according to Liang Liang, this will indeed become a major event in the world.

Strict punishment.

At this time, Liu Hu led an unusually majestic black battle immediately, and said with a smile: "Taishou, this battle horse, I want me!"

When Liu Yan saw him excitedly like a child, he shook his head, and stepped forward to pat the horse and laughed: "Although such a horse is good, but you are a step general, what to do for the horse?"

Unexpectedly, this war horse seemed to understand Liu Yan's words, hissing, and the two foresteps rose high, and the people next to them hurriedly flashed away.

Liu Hu held his neck, coaxed and patted. Soon, the war horse calmed down, arched Liu Hu's big face with his mouth, and followed him.

"See you!"

Liu Hu said with grievances: "He is my brother, can I give others?"

Everyone around him couldn't help laughing, only Liu Yan was his brother.

Liu Yan just joked with him. If he really didn't give him a horse, he would not let him come together. When he looked at Liu Hu's grievance, he laughed: "Then look at your brother!

It's fierce again. "

Liu Hu was happy, and he walked towards the open space. Although the horse was not well matched, he was anxious to try the horse.

At this time, Liu Yan heard someone calling him in the distance. When he turned around, he saw that Tao Li took a person to walk quickly and looked at the person.

With a beard, it is obviously not a Han, but it looks like a Hu people in the Western Regions.

Liu Yan greeted him, bowed and gave a gift, "This time, the second uncle!"

This time, the horse trafficking was completely planned by Tao Li, including the coming to Jiangxia from the water transportation, and it was also managed by Tao Li himself. It can be said that he was exhausted. Although Tao Li was also an experienced businessman, this time, he also felt extremely difficult.

This is exactly the case. Liu Yan is full of gratitude to him, and the courtesy is particularly comprehensive. Tao Li also loves his niece. He laughed at Liu Yan: "In fact, he can successfully complete the task.

I feel, and this time the Tao family also opened up a new business. In the future, there will be many western regions.

He pulled the Hu people behind him to introduce Liu Yan: "This is the son of Ganzhou Xianliang Chief, named Aso, which is sold by his father. This time, he followed Jingzhou.

Buy some of Jingzhou goods back. "

He introduced Liu Yan again to the son of Chief Hao, "This is Jiang Xia Liu Tai, and the nephew of Jingzhou Mu."

Aso was named Nangong Suo. On the road, Tao Li introduced Liu Yan and knew that he could fight for good fighting. He was a brave general.

Liu Tai stayed! "

He can speak fluent Chinese, and although it looks older, he is thirty years old. He can open a mouthful, and his voice is clear.

Liu Yan quickly stepped forward and entrusted.

Nangong Suo got up, beckoning back, "Come up!"

Several of his fellow followers took a white horse, tall and strong, with strong limbs, white limbs, white body, no miscellaneous hair, there was a circle of white hairs around the four hoofs.

It is a rare thousands of miles.

Nangong Suo patted this war horse and laughed: "This war horse is called Feiying, which is a Dawan horse in the Western Regions. It is also quite famous in Xiliang. When I first met today, this war horse was dedicated to the Taishou."

Liu Yan stepped forward to hold the war horse, reached out and pressed hard on the horse's back. He pressed this, not to mention, there are three or four hundred pounds of strength, but the war horses are motionless.

"Good horse!"

Liu Yan couldn't help but admire. Although the appearance of the horse's appearance is good, he looks more on the ability. With their weight plus weapons and other debris, it takes at least 300 pounds.

Can't afford it at all.

Liu Yan turned back to his relatives: "Take a chopped knife!"

The pro -soldiers quickly took a cut -off knife, and the horse knife was completely equipped with heavy armored infantry. This is the unique weapon of Jingzhou.

Liu Yan smiled to Nangong Suo: "Thank you for the heavy gift of the chief of the chief, there is no gift to give back, this chopped horse knife talks."

Nangong Suo has never seen such a long knife, one feet and five feet long, short and long -blade, and is extremely strong. He waved twice gently, and he couldn't help but love it.

When Liu Yan saw that it was late, he laughed at the soldiers: "Take the war horses back to the camp, feed it well, and return to Wuchang tomorrow morning!"

The soldiers were unlimitedly rejoiced and led the Ma Ma to the camp.

At night, Liu Yan came to Ma Ying. This was a tent specially built for the war horses. There were more than a hundred tops, and more than a thousand horses were placed in these tents.

The war horse was very quiet. From time to time, Mafu poured a barrel of black beans just steamed into the tank, and the sink next to it was filled with water.

Most of the horses in Jingzhou are fed with wheat stalks, but this group of arms and horses have higher demands. Ordinary stalks cannot raise good horses. They must use superficial ingredients. Jingzhou can only use black beans.

Therefore, the cavalry is very expensive, and the average of six households can raise one cavalry, let alone other types of military.

Without the Tao family's full support behind him, he could not support more than 1,000 cavalry at all.

In the tent, Liu Yan happened to encounter Tao Li, and he was carrying the situation of visiting the war horse.

"So late, don't the second uncle still rest?"

Tao Li shook his head and laughed: "It's so excited, but can't sleep."

"It's not difficult to make it all the way!" Liu Yan asked with a smile.

"There is always difficulty in making difficulties, but everything is shocked with money, and more importantly, it is divided into more than a dozen batches, and it has not attracted the attention of the defendant on the road."

Having said that, Tao Li smiled contempt: "In fact, many people have a lot of people, but in the portions of money, they are deaf and dumb."

"I heard that Han is the most smooth, right?"

Tao Li nodded and laughed: "We have the token of Yang Song in the Han Dynasty, and all the way all the way. All the defenders along the way thought it was Yang Song's business. No one dared to stop it."
