Destiny Only Han

Chapter 393 Liu Ying: Maximize Benefits!

As night fell, the valley near Mayi City was filled with the aroma of stewed meat.

In a big victory during the day, although not many heads were won, the Huns lost almost all their supplies during the hasty retreat.

For example, sheep used as rations, and cattle used to carry trophies.

Under the nomadic system, the most economical way of marching is to drive cattle and sheep to graze while walking, so as to obtain a steady stream of dairy products and meat.

Well, mostly milk.

After all, if cattle, sheep and horses are bred, there will be a steady stream of additional income, but if they are slaughtered for meat, they can only enjoy it once.

The same goes for leeks...

But the meat to reward the army tonight is horse meat.

During the battle between the two armies, the horses of the Huns were killed and injured a lot, and because of the body structure of the horse, after one leg was injured, it could basically be sentenced to death.

Using the analogy of human body structure, a horse is roughly equivalent to supporting its body and moving with its toes.

Well, probably the middle finger...

The space between the hoof and the hoof bone is supported by a tissue called the hoof leaf, which is composed of a special kind of epidermal cells that can disperse the pressure from the hoof bone.

When one leg of the horse is injured, the other three legs can only support the weight of the body, which means that the weight of the other three legs increases by one-third at once.

As a result, the hoof bone breaks through the hoof wall and inserts into the hoof blade, leaving the horse vulnerable to a very nasty disease.

Laminitis.

Sadly, there is no cure for this disease, and even modern medicine can only guarantee that the condition will not worsen.

Therefore, killing horses with injured legs and feet is not only out of economic considerations, but also a manifestation of humanitarianism.

Of course, in today's Han Dynasty, except for Liu Ying and the occasional Madonna, everyone else is very pragmatic.

They killed the wounded horses and ate the meat, because they didn't want to touch the cattle and sheep that were still grazing on the hillside.

This is the spoils of war!
As soldiers in Guanzhong who work in agriculture in normal times and serve as soldiers in wartime, they have already gained collective merit, and now they just want to find a way to get one or two cheap cows back...

Therefore, many soldiers got together and signed the document by the firelight, and then carefully put a thin piece of paper into their arms.

This document is a loan contract...

Many years of debt, but in exchange for a brighter future!

Yes, it is like that!

..........................................

Mayi City.

Because the construction period is very short, in the Hanwang Palace, which did not adopt a high platform building, the crystal hanging on the roof, um, it is a glass palace lantern, emitting a dazzling light.

Liu Bang sat on the main seat, admiring the style that was very different from the Guanzhong Palace, he felt a little envious, and planned to decorate his own Changle Palace according to this style after returning to Liyang.

Well, he still prefers the kind of tall platform buildings.

No other, big enough, tall enough, and majestic.

The object of "a man should be like this" in his youth lived in this style of palace!

In the hall, there are singing and dancing, and there are intertwined cups of wine.

When the Chu people went to battle, they always had the tradition of carrying Meiji fine wine. Even though Liu Bang became the Emperor of Han, he still kept it.

At this moment, those dancers who have been practicing for two and a half years are brought by Liu Bang from Guanzhong.

Han Wangxin sat at the bottom, enjoying the long-lost singing and dancing, and at the same time pricked up his ears, listening to the admiration of the crowd around him.

To be precise, it is the envy of his luxurious palace.

As a result, the still wounded and bleeding heart in his chest finally began to slowly heal.

He was careless.

When discussing the construction of Mayi City with Liu Ying, the money for building a palace for him was not written in the contract.

So when Mayi City gradually grew to a certain size, he discovered that there seemed to be an open space in the center of the city...

For this reason, he went to the engineer who was in charge of building the city at that time to discuss it, only to find that the open space was not forgotten by the workers, but was reserved for him to build a palace...

99 prayers are all thanks, and this last shiver is not bad!
So he hurried back to Liyang City, got the drawings and models that Liu Ying said had been made after seven days and seven nights, and returned to Mayi City satisfied.

Of course, the price is a coal mine near Mayi City, and Liu Ying will get 99 years of complete development rights and a series of corresponding rights and interests!

Well, that coal mine is worthless now, but it has a famous name in later generations.

Pingshuo Antaibao Open-pit Coal Mine.

This is the largest open-pit coal mine in China in later generations. It is said that all the coal from this coal mine is loaded into train cars, and the end-to-end connection can circle the earth 36 times!

Therefore, Liu Ying only took away the development rights for 99 years, which is actually a very interesting thing!

However, Han Wangxin feels that he is not at a disadvantage. As he said before, the mine is within his jurisdiction, the consumption of the miners, and the development of the mining area will make his fief richer.

The most important thing is that he put away the blueprints and models made by Liu Ying. In this way, when he was building Hanwang Palace in Jinyang, he only needed to enlarge the blueprints and add some elements he liked, so he didn’t need to Spend money to buy Liu Ying's design!

Although the building materials and upholstered furniture still have to be purchased in the trading company under the name of Shangxiantang, he also has shares in it, and he can slowly earn back the money by relying on dividends!
Just when Han Wangxin felt that he had taken advantage of Liu Ying, Liu Bang raised the wine bar in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "King Han sticks to Mayi and prevents the Huns from going south. The majesty of my man! Come, drink this cup to the brim!"

Han Wangxin raised his wine glass with a humble face, and complimented: "This battle depends on your majesty's calmness, defeating the enemy and defeating the plot of the bandits..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, and finally became inaudible.

In the hall, except for the awkward smile on Liu Bang's face, the rest of the people were silent, but they looked at Han Wangxin as if they were looking at an idiot...

This wave of him is really scolding baldness in front of the monk, which pot is not open and which pot is lifted!

It is true that Liu Bang fought a wave of comebacks, but before that, he was stuck in a traffic jam and almost lost his life!

Your Majesty the Emperor, it is a very stupid thing to run out and form a group.

The most important thing is that he was caught by Maodun's arrogant strategy, and the army came from afar. He didn't send out scouts to spy on the information, and he didn't wait for Zhou Bo's army to arrive.

If Han Xin is here, who knows what kind of jokes will be made up?

After all, this strategy was used by Han Xin when he dealt with Long Qie...

Liu Bang kept Han Wangxin's sarcasm in his heart, and forced a happy smirk on his face: "Drink, drink!"

..........................................

Therefore, in Yunzhong County, the moon and stars are sparse, and the round moon hangs in the sky, dyeing the boundless grassland with a layer of silver.

In the moonlight, a huge cavalry team is slowly moving forward.

This is exactly the side teacher that Liu Ying went to steal the house.

After buying some traitors from the Xiongnu, Liu Ying successively attacked several tribes of King Loufan and King Aries of the Huns, confiscated nearly 2 cattle and sheep, and at the same time scattered the horses of these tribes on the grassland. I searched for a total of more than [-] horses!

Although there were no good horses among the captured horses, mares and ponies under two years old accounted for [-]% of the total.

After all, in order to win the first battle with the Han Kingdom, Modu sent out all the best soldiers, and the best horses would naturally not be left in the tribe for free-range breeding.

However, Liu Ying expressed that she was very satisfied with this.

Anyway, when he laid down the first camp of the Aries King's Ministry, he had already earned back the cost of the expedition, and now the cattle, sheep and horses he captured were all net profits!
Based on the principle that everything should be taken, the target this time is naturally Maodun's Shanyu Headquarters.

In order to prevent them from escaping early when they heard the news, Liu Ying sent all the captured horses, one for each of them!
Well, in fact, riding a horse is very simple, as long as the coordination and development of the limbs are normal, there is no need to contact for two and a half years, it only takes a few hours.

Of course, you can't gallop and fight.

Therefore, the army Liu Ying is leading now is a dragoon.

The so-called dragoons refer to infantry riding on horses, riding to the battlefield, and then dismounting to fight on foot.

In the dim night, under the joint guidance of Xiongjian and Lu Matong, a tent could already be seen indistinctly on the horizon in the distance.

And judging from the lights and figures there, they were packing their bags and preparing to escape!

Liu Ying didn't know if someone slipped through the net to report the news, or if there were too many people on his side, and he couldn't hide his whereabouts during the march and was discovered.

But anyway, they have now reached the appropriate attack distance!

Therefore, Lin Zhi grabbed Liu Ying tightly, and said with no refusal: "Please wait here, Your Royal Highness, I just wait until I go to battle!"

Liu Ying agreed with this in her heart. He didn't intend to take the lead in the charge. He just pretended to be unhappy and said: "General Lin thinks that I am too young and weak to..."

Lin Zhi nodded: "Yes."

Meow, can this guy talk... Liu Ying turned her head angrily, not bothering to pay attention to such a vulgar person.

Beside him, Han Xin resisted the urge to laugh, forced himself to concentrate, and began to give orders to Lin Zhi and the others.

Unlike the Aries King and Loufan King, who are hardly strong, this is Shan Yu's headquarters, and there are many soldiers who are accustomed to fighting, especially those Qin border troops who are proficient in foot combat recruited by Maodun. Many will stay here too.

Therefore, this battle cannot be sloppy.

When Han Xin was having a pre-war meeting, Liu Ying rode to her young army, pointed to the tent in the distance and said:
"Did you see it? That's Shanyu Headquarters, where more than half of the Xiongnu's wealth is stored!"

"So, what is our purpose?"

For a moment, Liu Ying heard a lot of fluent or poor Chinese: "Get money! Get money! Get money!"
