Chapter 65: Give a gift of a magic weapon and a BMW
What happens in the palace is not under Liu Zhang's control. He is currently training soldiers in the newly built military camp. In order to make this group of soldiers stronger, Liu Zhang transported a large number of cattle and sheep that Youzhou had not had time to sell. Of course, these cattle and sheep
It is just for supplementary meals and motivation for the soldiers, not for food supply. After all, these people do not completely belong to Liu Zhang, but the 20,000 people in Youzhou are Liu Zhang's real team. However, Liu Zhang has no intention of sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
, he is the lord, not the general.
Every year before the Chinese New Year, governors and governors from all over the country would go to the capital to report on their duties and pay tribute to the bosses in the capital. For example, there were many scribes gathered in front of Yuan's house, and there were many generals at General He Jin's house. Although Liu Zhang was here
It was the New Year in the capital, but some people came to give him gifts. These people were Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.
To be honest, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were really grateful to Liu Zhang. If not for Liu Zhang, they would not have been able to escape from the Yuan family. After leaving the Yuan family, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were already prepared to be attacked by the Yuan family.
They didn't expect that the Yuan family didn't react at all.
After repeated inquiries, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping finally understood what a powerful person their master was. After careful discussion, they decided to show their unparalleled loyalty to Liu Zhang. So they hurriedly brought gifts to Liu Zhang.
When he arrived in Luoyang, he helped Liu Zhang bring the weapons that the old blacksmith had spent a month making.
Liu Zhang was quite surprised when he heard that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping had arrived. Last time he was short of money, these two people didn't come. It's almost the Chinese New Year, why are they here? You know, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's children are all here
Youzhou.
"See you, Sir!" In the side hall, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping had been waiting for a long time.
Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Master Qi, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year! As the master's subordinates, we have to fulfill our filial piety, right?" Su Shuang was rather slippery. When Liu Zhang asked, he quickly stood up and answered without saying any unnecessary nonsense.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I told you before, don't use this trick, just do what I told you!"
"My lord has given his account! But how can we, the subordinates, not know what is good and what is good? Besides, it is not a good thing, just a few good horses! It is quite valuable in the Han Dynasty, but on the grassland, it is not very expensive!" Su
Shuang was afraid of causing Liu Zhang's displeasure, so he immediately explained.
"Just this once, we won't do it next time!" Liu Zhang nodded, he understood what Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were thinking, and Zhao Yun and others did not have good horses either.
"Okay!" Su Shuang said excitedly: "Sir, the horse is still outside the city, is it..."
"No need to go into the city!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "We only have a lot of space at home, so the war horses should be raised in a spacious place! I have built a military camp outside the city. I will have someone take you there later!"
"Sir, when we came here, the old blacksmith asked us to bring the weapons that the master wanted!" Zhang Shiping said with a smile: "The old blacksmith's skills are indeed extraordinary, and each piece is a fine product."
Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said: "The weapons have finally arrived? Now Long and the others are even more powerful! Tomorrow you will bring the weapons to the military camp together!"
"Yes!" Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were overjoyed. In their view, Liu Zhang accepted their gifts, which meant accepting their allegiance. Chinese people are sometimes very strange, just like some patients in later generations who went to the hospital for surgery, and their family members before the surgery.
They often give red envelopes to doctors. This is obviously against the rules, but if the doctor refuses to accept it, the patient's family will be worried. This is the mentality of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping now.
The next day, Liu Zhang took Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to the military camp in Mangshan. The two Youzhou businessmen's eyes widened when they looked at the concrete military camp!
"A miracle! This is simply a miracle!" Looking at the seamless concrete floor and a row of three-story bungalows, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were no different from the country bumpkins who had just come to the city. The soldiers who were training were poking at them with eye darts.
them.
"Ahem!" Liu Zhang coughed twice before Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping came back to their senses. They touched their heads and said, "Sir, is this military camp your work?"
Liu Zhang nodded and said: "A special building material is used, which you will come into contact with in the future. However, I don't want to reveal it yet, lest the enemy learn from it."
"I understand!" Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping nodded their heads as if to say something.
"Brother!" Zhang Fei's eyes were sharp and he saw Liu Zhang from a distance. He quickly asked his deputy to take over the command and went up to him himself.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yide, go and call Zilong and the others to the school grounds!"
"Yes!" After hearing Liu Zhang's order, Zhang Fei immediately went to call for someone.
Not long after, Zhang Fei called Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, and Huang Xu to the school grounds. When Liu Zhang saw that everyone had arrived, he asked Su Shuang to bring up the weapons and horses.
Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Brother, is this horse for us?"
"Nonsense, otherwise what would I do here?" Liu Zhang rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei.
"Hehe!" Zhang Fei rubbed his hands and said with a silly smile, "Can you give me that dark horse?"
"Black horse?" Following Zhang Fei's finger, Liu Zhang saw a black horse among the horses, but there was a ring of white hair on the horse's hooves. Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yide, even if you like it, you have to ask other brothers!"
Zhang Fei touched his head and smiled: "Don't worry, brother, my brothers will definitely not rob me!"
Indeed, Zhang Fei was not the youngest among this group of people, but he was almost there. The only one younger than Zhang Fei was Zhao Yun. As for Zhao Zilong, the silver spear and white horse, Liu Zhang did not want to change his image.
With Liu Zhang's consent, Zhang Fei took the black horse and observed it carefully, then smiled and said to Liu Zhang: "Thank you, brother. I saw it right. This horse is kicking Yunwu Zui!"
"Kicking Yunwuzui?" Liu Zhang took a deep look at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. Others didn't know the origin of this horse, but he knew. Historically, Zhang Fei rode a Wuzui horse. As for whether he was kicking Yunwuzui.
It’s unknown!
Mounting his horse, Zhang Fei ran several laps on the school field. Liu Zhang took out the Zhangba snake spear from another cart, threw it to Zhang Fei and said: "Yide, take the spear!"
A black shadow flashed past, and Zhang Fei stretched out his hand to catch the spear thrown by Liu Zhang. The spear was made entirely of iron-pointed steel. The spear shaft was one foot long, and the spear tip was eight inches long.
Snake state. After Zhang Fei took the spear, he slowly launched a set of spear techniques. When the dance started, spear shadows filled the sky. The momentum was like the rebirth of an overlord!
"Drink!" Zhang Fei shouted, stopped his gun and reined in his horse, saying, "Brother, what a good horse and spear!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "Stay aside, Zilong and the others haven't chosen yet!"
Zhang Fei held the snake spear in his hand and ran away happily. Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Zilong, you are the youngest, you choose first!"
"Brothers haven't chosen yet, which round will I get?" Zhao Yun is not Zhang Fei, he is more humble.
Zhang Ren said with a smile: "My lord lets you choose, so you choose. The good things will naturally go to the younger ones first. Do you think everyone is as ignorant of humility as Yide?"
After listening to Zhang Ren's words, Zhang Fei glanced at him with an expression of "I don't care about you", which made everyone laugh. Zhao Yun also couldn't resist the kindness and chose a white horse, which was the Yezhao Jade Lion.
As for the weapon, of course it is the silver gentian gun! After Zhao Yun finished choosing, Zhang Ren also chose a white horse and a gun, but the horse was worse than Zhao Yun's. Huang Xu chose a yellow horse and a knife.
, and this yellow horse is a famous horse.
Originally, Liu Zhang wanted to choose a horse, but after looking at it for a long time, he was not satisfied. At this time, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and smiled, and ordered someone to pull out another horse. This horse was covered in green, and with a long neigh, it was let go.
Jueying, Wuzui, and the horses outside the Jade Lion in the Night Light all trembled. Zhang Shiping smiled and said: "My Lord, the name of this horse is: Elephant Dragon. It is a gift from the two of us to the Lord!"
"Xianglong?" Liu Zhang knew the origin of this horse. During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, after Feng Fengshi pacified Yarkand, he sent back soldiers from all over the world and continued westward until he arrived in Dayuan. Dayuan had already heard his name, which could be said to be the first to win, so he was honored
The emperor and ministers of Dayuan respected him very much, so he successfully completed his mission. When leaving, Dayuan presented the famous horse Xianglong to express its friendship with the Han Dynasty. A horse that can be used as a tribute by a country must be a good horse.
, seems to be better than Jueying and Wu Zui. However, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang actually spent such a high price, which made Liu Zhang a little suspicious.
Seeing Liu Zhang's puzzled eyes, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were a little embarrassed. These horses were very valuable in the eyes of others, but they were easy to get into the hands of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. Now these foreigners are trying to please Han merchants, especially Wu
Pills. Originally, these foreigners didn't have enough food to eat every winter, so they had to thresh grass and grain. But recently, Liu Zhang came out of Youzhou, and a fierce man came out of Bingzhou, which caused the Xiongnu, Wuwan and other foreigners to have nothing to eat.
They had no choice but to exchange things for food.
What can foreigners have? Nothing more than cattle, sheep and horses! The Huns were a little better. They exchanged cattle and sheep for a lot of food and only paid a few good horses. Zhang Fei's Wuzui was a gift from the Huns. Wuwan was miserable.
, they were robbed of a large number of cattle and sheep by Liu Zhang, and had to trade horses. As for the elephant dragon that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang presented to Liu Zhang, it was the mount of Karasuma King Qiu Liju.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping took advantage of the fact that the people of Wuwan had to trade horses for food, and exchanged a large number of war horses from Wuwan. As long as these war horses could be sold, how could they care about a few good horses given to Liu Zhang? Besides, they were in Liu Zhang
It's natural for him to make a living for his subordinates, so it's natural for him to take care of Boss Liu.
After listening to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's explanations, Liu Zhang was a little dumbfounded. Because of this, he could accept the horses with peace of mind. After the horses and weapons were arranged, Liu Zhang told Su Shuang and Su Shuang about the tea horse, salt and iron monopoly.
Zhang Shiping said. After listening to this, the two men's eyes flashed with golden light. They knew that the opportunity to make money had come again! However, Liu Zhang asked them to sell the middle and low-grade war horses and keep the high-grade war horses because Liu Zhang wanted to form a cavalry.
