Chapter 744: All the benefits are reaped
"Twelve thousand horses?"
Tian Fan took a breath of air-conditioning when he heard this. This was really the lion's opening. Now is a troubled time, and there is a shortage of war horses everywhere. Moreover, the princes in the country do not have any horseshoeing skills.
In every battle, many horses were lost.
This resulted in the longer the war lasted, the scarcer the war horses. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been at war for more than ten years.[
This war horse is outrageously expensive. Although Hebei has its own racecourse that produces war horses, its own supply exceeds demand, and it still needs to purchase them from surrounding ethnic minorities such as Wuhuan every year.
Large-scale purchases mean that a large amount of food, money and food are flowing out, which brings a huge financial burden.
Twelve thousand war horses, for the Yuan family in Hebei, that was really a huge number.
In addition, there is a serious future trouble. Liu Feng took these twelve thousand horses and must build more cavalry.
As long as we add another 12,000 horses, we can form a pattern of one person and two horses, forming a second battalion of 12,000 cavalry.
Dong Cheng's 6,000 cavalry are already so powerful. If another 12,000 cavalry are added, wouldn't Hebei be unable to fight back?
On the one hand, there will be massive bleeding, and on the other hand, the consequences will be serious.
At this moment, Tian Fan really hesitated and found it difficult to speak.
Of course Liu Feng saw Tian Fan's hesitation. If there was no Dong Cheng riding in Hebei at this time, Liu Feng would definitely tell Yuan Shao tactfully.
Cao Cao has so many cavalry, I can't stop him. Give me some horses, let me balance with Cao Cao, and then I can swing left and right.
Save yourself.
Liu Feng would definitely say this euphemistically, using Cao Cao's strength as an example. But that's not the case now. The bargaining chip in his hand is really too big. Dong Cheng has gained a reputation for him and won the bargaining chip for the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Liu Feng sneered and said: "Twelve thousand war horses, and the situation in Qingzhou, you have to consider it yourself."
Show no mercy when speaking, and strike with a sword.
Liu Feng's words just hit Tian Fan's heart. The current situation of the Yuan family cannot guarantee the stability of Hebei and cannot guarantee that Dong Cheng will lead his troops to withdraw from Hebei. Then how can they consolidate their forces to fight against Cao Cao?
When I thought about it again, Yuan Shao made a meaningful explanation, this time it was more important for Liu Feng to order Dong Cheng to return.
"Okay, there is no problem with 12,000 war horses. But there are too many. Even Hebei cannot allocate them all at once. It will take some time."
Tian Fan gritted his teeth and said.
At the same time, we are also making our final efforts. Can all this delay things? When the delay reaches the point where Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao in Qingzhou, then he can completely default on his debt.[
How could Liu Feng be fooled like this?
"In this case, it will take some time for the Han Dynasty to recall Dong Cheng." Liu Feng said unceremoniously.
Tian Fan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt weak all over. This king's general was really out of his depth. He had no capital to be tough, he couldn't coax, and he couldn't refuse to pay.
"Foreign minister, try your best to hurry up." In the end, Tian Fan could only say helplessly.
"Okay. Just hold on tight."
Liu Feng nodded and said.
"Come here, send someone to inform the minister, Jiang Wan, and issue an edict to the world. Yuan Shao, a loyal minister, was deceived by villains and did stupid things. Now he repented and is still a pure and loyal minister. That is to say, he was appointed as the general of Zhenbei.
