The 20th year of Jian'an is about to arrive in the dry season.
At this special season, Jiangling City seemed to be lingering in a confused smoke.
The "magical" weapons that suddenly emerged suddenly covered the sky in Jingzhou with a layer of dark clouds, changing winds and undercurrents.
But this morning, in the morning fog, the call from the thief Cao Cao's mansion... The master here, the fourth son Guan Lin, had already heard.
——"Two hundred side vans, one thousand consecutive crossbows, and one hundred wooden ox and horses."
——"The price that I can give is 150,000 hu of grain."
——"This price is sincere enough, right?"
Guan Lin's unscrupulous bid for his price in front of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi. He seemed to have no hiding at all, and he didn't care about unexpected people hearing it.
This is his character...
——No taboos
The civil servants have long been accustomed to this.
However, the eyes of the forces outside the door, when they heard the offer, their hearts sank.
——150,000 hu, what a high price!
It's not that these eyes are surprised.
According to the records of the Taibai Yin Jing, a military army of 12,500 people consumed 90,000 shi (deng) a year, and all kinds of side dishes within 147,500 shi (deng) and salt.
Two thousand two hundred and fifty stones (南)…
Convert it.
According to this standard, if the consumption of horses is not considered, if the human population is alone, 150,000 hu of food is enough for a ten-month expenditure of an army of ten thousand people!
If you save a little, it will be enough for a year's expenses to be guaranteed!
Guan Lin's offer was equivalent to using this expense, and he only bought two thousand people's weapons.
certainly…
Considering yesterday's side van, crossbow, and wooden ox and horse were generous and brilliant under the Desheng Bridge.
Considering the promise of the fourth son Guan Lin yesterday, although the 150,000 hu of grain is a bit premium, it is not surprising.
It was Mi Fang, who sat in the prefect's house and immediately passed the news back when he saw the offer of 150,000 hu, was stunned.
He is a money-loving person...
Although the money from Jiangling Chengfu Treasury may not be as loving as the private money of his Mi family, 150,000 hu of grain is too high.
On Mi Fang's round cheeks, the fat meat was shaking. While complaining about the price increase, he murmured on his own: "This kid Guan Lin? Isn't it just the 50,000 hu of grain in my Mi family? He
…When did he get 150,000 hu? Where did this one hundred thousand hu come from?”
Could it be...
He...he is doing other business?"
Once this idea appears, it is difficult for Mi Fang not to think about it in this place.
In addition, although he didn't have much contact with Guan Lin, this kid always gave him an unfathomable feeling of "the sea water cannot be weighed".
His ability to go from nine thousand to one hundred thousand, and then fifty thousand to one hundred thousand is not enough to be able to win?
The more I think so...
Mi Fang's mind was thinking.
——『Compared with this kid... Why do you feel like you don't make any money by reselling arms? It's so fucking. Put your head on your waist and feel scared every day?"
People are afraid of comparing...
Compared with Guan Lin, Mi Fang felt...what the hell is he living?
Suddenly I felt that reselling arms was no longer good!
——『Tomorrow, I have to ask this kid how he made money, and if possible, I have to let him take us wherever he can!』
On this side, Mi Fang is already thinking about it.
There...
The quotation from the thief Cao's mansion continues.
Seeing Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi silence, Guan Lin opened his mouth and said, "Tell me, how long will it take to give the goods?"
"The fourth young master is indeed very sincere. Of course... these weapons... are ready-made... can be delivered at any time, and we have already shipped to Jingzhou in advance."
Shi Huolong answered, but his eyes kept blinking, as if he was dodging Guan Lin's gaze, "But... Can the Fourth Master give us some time to consider and let us report to the master!"
It was said that it was reporting to the owner, but in fact... it was asking for a price of three companies.
Guan Lin saw through but said it thoroughly, "Success, three days are only three days. Since you shipped it to Jingzhou in advance, it is not a delay. After considering it, you can trade at any time... Of course, this is the greatest sincerity I can show
!”
Guan Lin kept his high-profile loud voice as always.
Now...
Not only Guan Lin, but everyone outside the door knew that this batch of goods was actually in Jingzhou.
Of course, this is reasonable.
The arms business... often looks for precise customers.
This kind of transaction will change later, so... often before negotiation, some arms dealers will transport arms nearby quietly, mostly hiding them in deep mountains and caves.
Once the transaction is determined, the money and goods will be cleared... there is no more connection.
If the negotiations break down, then send them away in small batches. This is the safest way and the customary rule in black market transactions.
Of course, it did not attract much attention.
"Thank you, the fourth son..." Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi bowed to Guan Lin.
Guan Lin patted the two of them on the shoulder meaningfully and said with a smile: "Two, I'm so doing it myself. 150,000 hu. After passing this village, there will be no more shop!"
Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi looked at each other...
They were thinking...
In terms of acting skills, it’s Mr. Guan Si!
real…
It's really real!
…
…
A gangster with a white background, embroidered clean boots gently stepped on the fallen leaves.
Lu Xun walked into the courtyard in a heavy mood, looking at the gate with a desperate look... His heart was full of confusion and he was deeply sad.
This is how life is. You have to pretend to be like a pussy and even with tears in your eyes.
At this moment, Lu Xun deeply realized...
What is not to show off? Pretending to be struck by lightning.
Just now, when he heard Guan Lin's offer of 150,000 hu of grain, he was in a bad mood.
What...what is the situation?
How can I report 150,000 hu?
Guan Lin, does he understand the price of armed weapons?
You know, today's horse can range from 20,000 to 200,000 yuan. At a price equal to 500 yuan, this offer can buy thousands of inferior horses.
It's enough to build a low-end cavalry team.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that Lu Xun asked Sun Ru to offer You Tanzhi "twice"...
No matter how much Guan Lin produces, he will produce twice...
That 150,000 hu...isn't it 300,000 hu?
This is so pretentious!
Lu Xun had already asked his wife Sun Ru to meet You Tanzhi as soon as possible. Although he knew that 150,000 was a premium, the Lu family army... But Lu Xun needed these weapons so much.
This is an opportunity for him to climb up step by step!
——Twenty-five thousand hu of grain.
This is Lu Xun's bottom line...
Sun Ru has already gone to talk... Now half an hour has passed, and the waiting people are becoming more anxious. Lu Xun looked at the gate outside the courtyard with eagerness, with his eyes full of expectation.
finally…
Sun Ru is back.
She brought good news, and she took it with 200,000 hu of grain...
"Five days later, the money and goods are delivered together, and the location is in a mountain at the intersection of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou...."
Sun Ru's words made Lu Xun feel happy.
He picked up Sun Ru and turned around.
——"Without a woman like this, why worry about the failure of my Lu family to prosper, and why worry about the great cause of Jiangdong?"
Sun Ru is much calmer than Lu Xun. "My husband should not be busy and happy first, but should we consider how so much food can be transported here?"
this…
Lu Xun's eyes were deep, he pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "If... if it was food, there would be no way, but if it was gold, the Lu family still had a way to transport it."
yes…
As one of the four major families in Wujun, the Lu family has more than just soldiers and official titles.
You should know that the family's business is spread throughout Dongwu.
After the scholars three years ago joined the army, how could the Lu family not have entered the business of Jiaozhou?
The connection between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou is Jiaozhi. As the capital of Jiaozhou, it is not difficult to allocate a large amount of gold and silver from here, but it only takes time.
"Five days...five days?"
Lu Xun murmured...
Sun Ru also pursed her lips, as if she realized that even if it wasn't food, it wouldn't be easy to collect so much equivalent gold and silver in such a short time!
"Although time is a little nervous,...Madam, please agree to them, I... have no problem!"
Finally, after repeated calculations, Lu Xun said with great confidence.
Sun Ru looked at Lu Xun's eyes...
This was the first time she saw the light in her husband's eyes!
——『Boyan really wants to see these weapons!』
…
…
Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.
Finally, Cao Ren waited for Xiangfan's support in a hurry.
This is the "combat power" sent by the eldest brother Cao Cao, which is the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun!
At the gate of the city, the soldiers from Xiangfan played music and lined up to greet him, and the people watched.
It’s not for Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to be treated so well.
This legendary legion has a very strong record.
——Fight against Wuhuan and capture the leader;
——Behead Yuan Tan and defeat Zhang Fei;
——Trying to Xiliang, defeating Ma Chao…
——When Liu Bei and his people crossed the river, he defeated his 100,000 soldiers and civilians, causing his vitality to be severely damaged.
He even kidnapped Liu Bei's two daughters!
As the saying goes, "Cao Chun conquered Jingzhou, chased Liu Bei in Changban, seized two of his female baggage, and collected his scattered soldiers."
There are also unofficial history records that Cao Chun not only accused two of his daughters, but even... he even married these two daughters.
What do you say? Cao Chun is a handsome guy. Liu Bei's two daughters fell in love with Cao Chun after being arrested and were both married by Cao Chun.
It's simply bloody!
There are also unofficial historical records that this is a kind of revenge. Because Zhang Fei robbed Xiahou Yuan's niece and married him as a wife, Cao Chun married Liu Bei's two daughters.
This is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unhappy.
Of course, these bloody plots are all the brains of novelists from all dynasties and dynasties.
Even more exaggeratedly, it is said that Cao Chun died because of Liu Bei's two daughters. Liu Bei's two daughters pretended to marry Cao Chun, and then killed Cao Chun through a series of operations.
So the question is?
How to operate?
How to kill it?
——Is it drained?
Of course, these are all fabricated!
When writing novels, it is not about history, but about fun.
There is no need to be so serious about many things.
Having said that...
In Cao Wei, such a 5,000-man tiger and leopard cavalry army led by Cao Chun was once named the legend of "invincible attack and invincible battle" because of its fierce record!
It is no exaggeration to say that this tiger and leopard cavalry... is Cao Cao's Dinghai Sword Needle!
Now that the army has entered the city, Cao Chun sat high and saw his elder brother Cao Ren among the officials in front of him.
Cao Ren smiled and said, "Is Zihe here?"
But when he saw Cao Chun did not turn over, he maintained a sense of arrogant arrogance, and his tone was not humble.
"Brother has worked hard to guard Xiangfan over the years, but why did Zhou Yu and Guan Yu retreat step by step, and even lost Nanjun!"
"The Prime Minister said, my brother is good at attacking, and he is the first-class expert among the children of my Cao Wei clan. But for several years, my brother has lost this ability to attack, right? He has learned the ability to retreat, haha, guard Xiangfan.
, let Guan Yun take the lead?"
this…
Cao Chun's words are very rude.
Of course, he has always been rude to Cao Ren.
If you want to explain this matter in detail, then it will be a long story.
Although Cao Chun and Cao Ren are half-brothers,... in every big family, the subtle relationship between the eldest son and the youngest son is so subtle that it is "wanting to kill each other"...
The relationship between Cao Chun and Cao Ren is not so harmonious.
Going further, Cao Cao's father Cao Song's generation, the Cao family produced three amazing figures.
In addition to Cao Song's great master, great minister, and grand wei, Cao Chi was the Shizhong, Cao Ding was the prefect of Wu County, and Shangshu Ling...
Among them, Cao Ren and Cao Chun’s father was Cao Chi.
In Cao Chi's lineage, Cao Ren is the eldest son of the concubine, and Cao Chun is the legitimate son...
According to the rules, Cao Chun inherited the family, so-called "Pure inherited his father's business, was rich in wealth, and there were hundreds of servants and servants."
Cao Ren is more miserable.
——"Young people like to hunt for archery, horses and hunt. Later, heroes emerged together, and Ren also formed young men in Yin, and obtained more than a thousand people, circling between Huai and Si."
This means that as a concubine's son, Cao Ren has nothing and is not popular in his family. He took advantage of the heroes to join forces and took a group of people out to go out and go out for a stroll...
Not to mention, I really made a name for myself, and my personal courage and integrity have made great progress.
Become the first general in the Cao Wei clan to attack.
But individuals are individuals, and in ancient times, the battlegrounds focused on corps combat.
Compared to Cao Ren's courage and unification, Cao Chun's "family property" is more important to Cao Cao in the early days!
When Cao Chun surrendered to Cao Cao, he was a "bringing capital into the group", so Cao Cao distributed the most elite troops to him.
Cao Chun was not short of money, so... these soldiers were equipped with the best weapons, armor, and war horses.
After a while, this is the prototype of the tiger and leopard riding.
Among them, the tiger cavalry is a "heavy armored cavalry", and the equipment on its body is filled with the smell of money.
The leopard cavalry is a "light armored cavalry", similar to Gongsun Zan's white horse, which mainly includes riding and shooting...
Although the leopard cavalry is not as expensive as the tiger cavalry, it is still not worth measuring the price compared to other cavalrymen.
After all, Cao Chun, who is the legitimate son and the orthodox descendant of Cao Chi, faces Cao Ren, the "honest" brought by the bones is naturally born.
I wouldn't be so polite to speak to him.
"Zihe, you must not underestimate the enemy!" Cao Ren was not angry.
It seemed that he knew this younger brother's character and got used to it.
He immediately advised: "This Guan Yu, even if he was the eldest brother, he had praised Xun Lingjun, saying that he was the one he loved all the time, and he could be compared to Fengxian... At first, my brother was fine, but he had fought against him in recent years.
Brother Wei feels heavy pressure everywhere! It’s good to be able to hold on, so how dare you attack the tough guys easily?”
"Ha ha ha ha…"
As soon as Cao Ren blurted out his words, Cao Chun laughed happily, "I didn't expect that over the years, I have smoothed my brother's character and become much more timid."
"But it's okay. The dry water period is approaching, and I, Cao Chun, brought the tiger and leopard cavalry again. The ones Cao Wei lost in Jingxiang will definitely be taken back. Brother, prepare the food and grass, let's wait and see!"
this…
A deep worry appeared between Cao Ren's eyebrows.
He didn't know either... should he say that Cao Chun was a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger?
Or... are you too underestimating Guan Yun?
Cao Ren shook his head and wanted to persuade him...
But Cao Chun had already driven his horse away and the army continued to enter the city.
At this moment, every knight of the tiger and leopard cavalry raised his head and raised his head.
Their eyes of the soldiers in the city were as good as those of the superiors when they inspected the subordinates.
——Arrogance and arrogant!
However, at this time, someone quickly walked to Cao Ren and whispered in his ear: "The eyes of Jiangling City sent back an urgent message... It was said that Jingzhou wanted to buy a military uniform, which was the nemesis of the cavalry, and it was urgent for 100,000 yuan!"
Cao Ren was stunned when he heard this.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Chun's back again...
Immediately... he turned around quickly and led by the newsman, he headed to another place.
