Chapter 1062 : Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Eight The Lion Opens His Mouth (2)
As soon as Tian left, only Lu Su, Liu Feng, and Man Chong were left in the hall./⊙﹏⊙bwww
"Old fox." Man Chong cursed in his heart. He was obviously leading troops to attack Wancheng and was threatening Xu Du in a subtle way, but he actually said that he was training troops in Ai County. He was quite thick-skinned.
However, Man Chong's tasks were also very heavy. Man Chong was still thinking about how to get Lu Su away.
Of course, he would not curse these words. Not only could he not curse, but he followed Lu Su's words and nodded with a smile on his face and said: "Now that the world is in chaos, General Zhennan is training elite troops to defend Wanluo. He is really diligent and loyal." [
"Yes. The world is in chaos, like a pot of porridge. There is still Liu Cong in the south who is making trouble, calling himself the Grand Administrator of Nanjun, General. I want to calm down, but I lack war horses. It just so happens that General Man is here. Can General Man please come forward?
Emperor, please state my difficulty?"
Lu Su sighed and said.
He looked honest and honest, but his words were quite vicious and even overreaching.
I am short of horses, please give me horses. In addition, I have an enemy in Liu Cong, please give me the title of a traitor and traitor to Liu Cong.
Although Liu Feng's face was as calm as water, his heart was full of joy.
This lack of horses has been something that has troubled Liu Feng for a long time. At the beginning, Liu Feng blackmailed Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce with many good things, including leather armor, weapons, bows and arrows, most of which were used as military supplies.
Liu Feng's army was all elite soldiers, and the consumption of military supplies was very important. Today's elite troops can be said to be inseparable from the military supplies provided by the three princes.
As for the war horses, Liu Feng still had thousands of them, but because there were less than six thousand, he could not train a battalion of soldiers. So he never had cavalry.
Now is the time to blackmail some horses from Cao Cao and make up six or seven thousand horses, which can be used to form a cavalry force.
As for Liu Cong.
Liu Cong was indeed the self-proclaimed Grand Administrator and General of Nanjun. However, he later went to the Emperor and the Emperor agreed to Liu Cong's self-titled title. He was officially canonized as the Grand Administrator and General of Nanjun.
In fact, this official position is of little significance to Liu Feng's new opposition forces. At the time, Liu Biao was the general of Zhennan and the herdsman of Jingzhou, and Liu Feng still led his troops to attack fiercely, let alone the current prefect and general of Nanjun.
But doing this can cause some cracks in the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Cong. Now Cao Cao wants something from him, so why not do it.
"This." When Man Chong went south to meet him, he was already preparing for a tour of being slaughtered, but he was still frightened by Lu Su's lion's big mouth.
How could Man Chong not understand this second condition, which would turn Liu Cong into a traitor? Although it would have no direct impact on Cao Cao's power.
But it also affected the alliance of the princes. This request can be said to be too much.
The other one is even more excessive.
War horses? What a joke, Cao Cao himself is short of horses now.
Although many people in the north raise horses and there are some official horse farms, the output has not been much. Because war horses are not ordinary horses, only the most elite horses can be used as war horses.[
Therefore, the production rate has never been high. Cao Cao's war horses have to be imported from outside. Now that Hebei is occupied by Cao Cao, the only place where Cao Cao can directly obtain war horses is Xiliang.
Ma Teng, Han Sui and others also sat down and raised their prices. The asking price was thirty gold for each high-grade war horse. This was still the usual price. Now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are at war, the price has more than doubled.
A fine war horse costs sixty or seventy gold.
Ten thousand war horses would cost six to seven hundred thousand gold. How terrible that is.
Now Lu Su asked for war horses, but he has not yet given a specific number. How many war horses are needed? If it is 10,000, then even if Cao Cao sells iron, it will be difficult to come up with it.
Unless he was mobilized in the army, but that was impossible. If war horses were mobilized, how would the Battle of Guandu be fought?
Anyway, Man Chong, a man of great ability, wisdom and courage, was frightened by Lu Su's lion's big mouth. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
