The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33
"How dare I do this? What's more, if my ancestors attacked the Huns in the north, if I communicated with the Huns, wouldn't I be a rebel?"

Wei Tao's face was a bit persistent, but Wei Xu just laughed a few times. Fortunately, Wei Tao also knew Wei Xu's temperament, so he didn't care too much, but continued to speak.

"I'm planning to start a horse business. In the past, I heard General Lu say that if possible, General Lu wanted to build a cavalry. But good horses are hard to come by, so General Lu has never really been able to do it. Three thousand cavalry is basically gathering all the army and horses in our Bingzhou, I wonder what General Wei thinks of this business?"

Following Wei Tao's words, Wei Xu's complexion gradually showed a hint of joy.

He naturally understood Lu Bu's thoughts a long time ago.

In fact, not only Lu Bu, but which of the several state generals including him hadn't thought about building a cavalry?
But the establishment of cavalry is not so easy, just the source of good horses is difficult enough.

"Do you have a way to get good horses? The Huns also know this truth. If we don't trade weapons, the Huns will not trade good horses for nothing."

Wei Xu still couldn't believe it. If the big Han in the Central Plains were really allowed to build a cavalry, it might even be difficult for the Huns to exterminate their clan.

"Has the general seen the horse I came with? Is it a good horse?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly. In fact, when he entered the door, he had already seen the surprise in Wei Xu's eyes when he saw his horse.

"That's just the top-grade horses that the Huns used to trade, only 50 taels of silver. This year, although there are not many, there are more than 60 of these top-grade horses. Although they are not as good as the ones I ride, they are not too different. Far."

"If so?"

Wei Xu's own horse was only slightly better than Wei Tao's. Hearing this, he immediately asked in disbelief.

"The Huns are good horses. I don't know how many horses they have accumulated over the years. I'm afraid there are only a hundred and one of them."

Since Wei Tao found Wei Xu, there was absolutely no reason to continue to hide it, so he simply told everything.

"Your Excellency may also know that the Huns sent me not long ago and asked me to go to the Huns' tribe. I am afraid it was for trade. Since winter, the pastures have withered. If they want to continue to raise livestock, the Huns have also paid a lot. Even The Huns also suffered a lot of injuries."

Wei Tao smiled slightly and said slowly.

"In the past, the Xiongnu would go south to plunder for the winter, but now that the general guards Yanmen Pass, and General Lu is in charge of Bingzhou, how dare the Xiongnu come? In this way, the importance of my little town to the Xiongnu is self-evident."

"so what?"

"In the past, the Xiongnu traded with me in Mayi. They were all bad horses. Although I kept lowering the price, I didn't mean to change it. At most, there were only one or two high-quality horses every month. But since winter, there have been more and more horses. Good horses for sale, what does the general think?"

"You mean the Huns are in great trouble?"

There are natural disasters on the grassland, Wei Xu naturally knows.

Although it is not good at business, Wei Xu can still calculate this account clearly, not to mention that once the cavalry is established, it will also be a contribution to Wei Xu, so Wei Xu immediately became eager.

"I don't know what kind of deal Ziyu said? If there is anything I can do, as long as the good horse can be done, I will definitely show my merits for Ziyu!"

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile slightly, the purpose of his visit this time has already been achieved.

Greed or not, Wei Xu has already taken the bait.

A group of people slowly left Mayi and headed north. When they reached the tiger's mouth, Wei Tao couldn't help but rein in his horse and stand up.

"If you go back to the past, you will really enter the territory of the Xiongnu. For this trip, the Xiongnu will not dare to do anything. However, this matter is related to the majesty of my great man. Once again, I just said one word. Don't blame me for being ruthless when facing the Huns but there are weak people. !"

"promise!"

These one hundred cavalry troops have been trained for a long time, and they are also horse bandits. There is no one who is timid, and they all respond immediately!

"The Han army is really extraordinary!"

The Xiongnu who led the way did not hear Wei Tao's words clearly, but they were also shocked by the momentum of the sound.

"go!"

This time Wei Tao didn't follow the Huns guides any more, instead he shook the reins and got half a horse ahead of the Huns guides.

The momentum is so high that even the guides of the Huns are intimidated by it.

Walking among the grasslands, you can see the vastness of the world and the unique scenery.

But this is just the first step in the grassland. When I really walk in it, I find it difficult to discern the direction. More importantly, it is easy to make people feel agitated when walking in this way.

Fortunately, there were Xiongnu as guides, and what Wei Tao brought now was not a mob, and Wei Tao and others were not the first to enter the grassland, so there was no discomfort.

After walking for half a day, people were finally faintly visible.

"Ugh..."

It's just that as soon as I saw the tent, I heard a long horn sounding.

When they raided the Xiongnu in the past, they often hadn't reached the enemy's camp, but they were already aware that on this grassland, these nomads were indeed the protagonists.

As the horn blared, I immediately saw groups of people and horses coming out of the camp, faintly orderly, with a military appearance.

Both Wei Tao and Zhang Liao couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

"This is my family's adults coming to welcome you, so you don't need to panic."

Seeing the expressions of Wei Tao and Zhang Liao changed, the emissary still thought that he was afraid, and spoke quite complacently.

Who are Wei Tao and Zhang Liao?

But both of them could see that this Huns were not ordinary stragglers, but trained elite Huns.

Such Xiongnu elites are really not many among the entire Xiongnu tribe. Why did they appear here?
Soon, a man was seen riding a majestic horse from among the Hun guards standing quietly on both sides.

The visitor was tall and tall, with a faint rebellious arrogance on his face. He was a head taller than Wei Tao and Zhang Liao when he was riding on a horse. kind of oppression.

This is no ordinary person.

"Is the person here Mayi County Lieutenant?"

That man didn't seem to care about the Baiqi behind Wei Tao at all, he led dozens of people and just rode forward, shouting loudly!

Since the other party didn't care at all, how could Wei Tao be afraid, so he gave a slight signal to Zhang Liao beside him, and immediately went up with Zhang Liao.

"Wei Weitao of Mayi County came here on invitation, but I don't know which leader it is?"

Wei Tao didn't know much about the Xiongnu, but just looking at the demeanor of this person, Wei Tao knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person among the Xiongnu, so he was cautious in his words.

"This is the new chanyu of my Xiongnu, Qiangqu chanyu."

At this time, the original guide of the Huns came up and said quite proudly.

"Qiangqu Shanyu?"

After thinking for a while, Wei Tao remembered.

Although he doesn't know much about the internal affairs of the Huns, Wei Tao still pays attention to the Huns as a problem in the north of Mayi.

In July of the second year of Guanghe, Xiongnu Zhonglang beheaded Zhang Xiu, the original Shanyu Huwei, and then made Qiang Qu the Shanyu.

This Qiang Canal was originally the Youxian King of the Xiongnu, and he had a lot of power and prestige among the Xiongnu. Looking at the current situation, he has already firmly established his position as the Shanyu.

But how could such a person go out to welcome him in person?

Although Ma Yi is important, in terms of status, he is only a county lieutenant, so he is still not worthy of this Qiang Qu Shanyu's personal greeting.

"Haha... It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar! Mayi was originally adjacent to my Great Huns, so they often communicated with each other at that time!"

At this moment, Na Qiangqu just rode up to Wei Tao and laughed.

"Come! Come! Come! Now among my tribe is the county captain waiting for you. Please! Please!"

Although Qiang Qu was very enthusiastic and polite, Wei Tao was secretly vigilant in his heart at this time.

Wei Tao didn't know what the original Shanyu Huwei's ability was, but this Qiang Qu was able to say, "It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar!" 'The language shows that it has a deep research on the culture of the Han family.

The more the northern nomads understand the Han culture, the greater the threat to the Central Plains Han.

This has been proved by thousands of years of history in later generations.

"Unexpectedly, it was Shan Yu who came here in person, Wei Tao panicked. Shan Yu, please!"

Although Wei Tao secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, his face was calm and polite, making Qiang Qu unable to see the truth.

At this time, Wei Tao and Qiang Qu headed straight towards the Xiongnu camp, but when they were about to reach the front of the Xiongnu team, they heard a sound of Qiqi.

"Chong!"

Countless swords were unsheathed neatly, and when they hit the air, a forest of swords and guns was formed immediately.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, although outsiders walked through this formation mighty and domineering, but under the forest of knives, the pressure in his heart was extremely great.

What's more important is that even though these Hun guards are all elites, the swords raised in the air still tremble slightly, which makes people even more frightened and disturbed.

"Is this how the Huns treat guests?"

Wei Tao naturally understood that this was an attempt to give himself a bad start, but he didn't stop straddling the horse, but he said this with a hint of sarcasm.

"This is a great gift for my Xiongnu, and it is only set up for warriors, but those who can pass are all brave warriors, and they should be respected by us."

Qiang Qu smiled cunningly, although he said it lightly, he was provoking Wei Tao.

"But I think the evil of a big man must not be that he is afraid of this small test, right?"

"Ah……"

The horse under Wei Tao's crotch did not intend to slow down at all, but continued to move forward with a sneer. Under such circumstances, no matter whether he was aggressive or not, Wei Tao could not make many choices.
