Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Chapter 24 Huchuquan

The carriage wobbled towards the front, and soon, the two of them arrived at the destination of this trip, which was a trading market on the border of the Han Dynasty where the Nalan clan of Yitu Nalan belonged.

Instead of seeing the wide pastures as imagined, what Xu Huang saw was rather neat and tall farmhouses full of Han style.

Coming to the front of the farmhouse, Xu Huang reined in the horses used to pull the cart, and parked the cart near the largest farmhouse.

Accompanied by his movements, several middle-aged men who were sitting at the door of the farmhouse stood up cautiously, their eyes locked on the long knife at Xu Huang's waist, and they seemed a little vigilant.

Breathing gradually became a little short, Xu Huang put his right hand on his waist like this, and at the same time turned around and glanced at the little guy beside him.

And then, Yitu Nalan also gave him a look of "it's okay, don't be impulsive", and then jumped off the rear compartment of the carriage.

"Нагацахаа, энэх?нманайовгийнхондморьавахгэжирсэн,битгийхарьцажбай."

A series of awkward words came out of Nalan's mouth, Xu Huang saw the other party mumbled something to those middle-aged men, then turned around and gave himself a "relaxed" look, looking at himself. He entered the farmhouse on his own, and let himself wait outside the farmhouse for a while.

At the same time, after listening to Nalan's words, several middle-aged men also softly "hmm", then turned around and nodded in Xu Huang's direction, no longer as hostile as before, but Still maintain some of the most basic vigilance.

Just like that, he waited boredly for Nalan's return. Since Xu Huang didn't understand the language of the Huns, Yitu Nalan was the only helper and translator he could trust when he came to buy horses this time.

He didn't make him wait for too long, after a while, there was a sound in the farmhouse, and at the same time, there were several heavy footsteps coming from the inside of the room.

……

"I still think it is a hero who dares to run to the territory of my Youxian King's court alone with so much gold and silver."

"It turned out to be General Xu of the Han Dynasty. I can say that I have heard the name for a long time!"

Before the person arrived, a somewhat rough and heroic voice came from the farmhouse. Xu Huang saw a middle-aged man who was over nine feet tall and whose muscles were no less than his own walked out of the farmhouse first. Just standing on the ground is more than a head taller than other middle-aged people around.

And then, after seeing this rather majestic and domineering figure appear, those former Huns also lowered their heads one after another, and became quite submissive.

"My humble Luan Tihu Chuquan, younger brother of Youxian King Yu Fuluo, son of Qiang Qu Shanyu. This general, you are the one who wants to buy horses in my royal court?"

A sound like the roar of an engine came from the other party's mouth. Xu Huang only found that although this person's voice was not as loud as his own, it was no less than his own in terms of thunderous sound. .

And then, after noticing that the other party's breathing was long and long, and the whole person's aura was completely consistent, even Xu Huang, who was quite confident before, had a huge shock in his eyes, and at the same time, the whole person subconsciously became a little tense up.

……

"Second rate...Peak?"

"Among the Xiongnu, there are actually warriors who are stronger than Yang Gong and the others?"

……

His pupils trembled violently like an earthquake. Although Xu Huang still had the majestic expression on his face at the moment, his whole heart was already in a mess, even Yitu Nalan who appeared behind him Didn't notice.

After the man on the other side who called himself Chu Quan appeared, a faint sense of crisis subconsciously rose in Xu Huang's heart.

You must know that in his impression, although the Huns are brave and good at fighting, and the nomadic cavalry are also quite powerful, Xu Huang has always attributed that powerful combat power to the opponent's familiarity with the grassland environment and horses, and also thinks that the opponent A large part of China's strength is due to the dividends brought about by the military system where all the people are soldiers.

It's just that he didn't expect that among such nomads who can be said to be useless except for riding skills, there will be someone like Huchuquan who can almost crush himself in terms of personal strength.

This is not like being in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. Although the people at the bottom often have difficulty even eating enough, the local powerful children like Yang Feng and Han Xian can always get enough nutrition since they were young. Practicing martial arts at a young age has rooted the martial artist's application of "Qimai" in his bones.

In the grasslands of the north, if a warrior wants to obtain the most resources for survival, the effort he needs to make is definitely not something that can be summed up by a simple background.

He nodded cautiously at the other party. Xu Huang listened to the somewhat crappy Chinese spoken by the other party, and did not show a hint of ridicule. Instead, he felt a little admiration for the other party's strength from the bottom of his heart.

On the opposite side of him, after looking at Xu Huang with a lot of eyes, Hu Chuquan seemed to rarely see such a powerful Han Chinese as him on the grassland, so there was inevitably a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Well, I just heard from Nalan that your Hun Yitu clan has a lot of horses for sale, so I followed him all the way to the outside of Yanmen Pass."

"Your Excellency is the person in charge of the Yitu clan. I see that there are only farmhouses around here but no horse farm. I don't know where this steed is at the moment?"

He cupped his fists in the direction of Huchuquan. Considering that the opponent was stronger than himself, Xu Huang did not use the slightly derogatory title of "Xiongnuer", but directly called him the Huns clan.

On the other side, Hu Chuquan also smiled boldly, and then motioned for Xu Huang to get off the car, and asked the group of barbarians under him to check the belongings on the car first.

"There's no need to talk about it. I'm a child of the Luanti clan, not the Yitu clan. It's normal that you Han people don't know much about our grassland people."

"It's just that you're right about one thing. In the Yitu clan, I still have some right to speak. The horse that General Xu wants to buy, I can directly make a decision on this matter instead of the head of the Yitu clan. .”

Chapter 25 Are you familiar with horses?

Smiling and waving to Xu Huang who got out of the car, since the strength of his own side is far stronger than that of the other side at this time, Hu Chuquan didn't have any intention of being too vigilant, so he just stood there carelessly and motioned behind him A few rather excited barbarians stepped forward to check whether the other party's carriage was really loaded with a large amount of property as Nalan said.

On the other side, after seeing Yitu Nalan winking at himself and saying that there is no need to worry, this is their usual habit of trading with those Han merchants, Xu Huang didn't say anything more, but carried a long knife Standing three meters away from Huchuquan, the younger brother of King Youxian of the Xiongnu, he watched the group of Huns vigilantly turning over in his carriage.

……

"General Xu, don't be offended. Over the years, I have seen many Han merchants who regard me as ignorant and ignorant people. I have seen many Han merchants who want to be empty-handed. In order to verify your sincerity, the belongings such as this We still have to check it out a little bit.”

"But don't worry, don't say that you brought so much gold and silver this time, even if it's only half of it, it's a big buyer that the Yitu clan rarely sees a few times a year. It will be too difficult for you."

Some subtle voices came from his ears, Xu Huang just turned his eyes slightly, and saw that the little guy Yitu Nalan had come to his side at this time, although he was looking into the distance with his arms folded, but his upper and lower lips were It was constantly moving in a small range, apparently quietly comforting himself.

And after turning his head and glanced in the direction of Huchuquan, seeing that although the other party had already noticed Nalan's small movements, but still did not show any unpleasant emotions, Xu Huang also calmed down slightly, and he was no longer like before. I feel so wary of those Huns who flip through their belongings.

"hiss--"

A slight sound of gasping came from the rear compartment of the carriage from time to time, maybe it was shocked by the small gold ingots that filled the whole box, and the Huns who went to check it every time they opened a box The layer of gold ingots made a fuss about the more dazzling gold below, as if he had never seen so many properties appearing at the same time, which made Xu Huang a little dumbfounded.

It didn't take too long, when the Hungarians finally weighed several gold boxes together, they all jumped out of the car with joyful faces, and their attitude towards Xu Huang was more friendly than before. Not a lot.

"Oh? About four hundred catties of gold bricks, not much more?"

His brows twitched slightly, and after hearing a leader-like man from the Huns inspecting the goods whispered a report to him, Hu Chuquan couldn't help being slightly surprised by the other party's generosity, and looked at Xu at the same time. There were some slight struggles and changes in Akira's eyes.

Just a moment later, considering that the new generation of the Yitu clan obviously trusted Xu Huang, Hu Chuquan, who had his own considerations, still suppressed the desire that gradually rose in his heart, and just turned to Xu Huang like this He smiled, and then turned sideways to welcome Xu Huang who was standing beside him into the farmhouse behind him.

"General Xu is really generous. It seems that I was abrupt. Please don't take offense."

"Since we have enough money, we Huns can't lose face. The best prairie horses are in the horse farm behind this farmhouse. General Xu, you can get as many as you want."

Taking the lead, Xu Huang strode through the farmhouse. Behind the farmhouse, covered by layers of buildings and weeds, was a vast field about several miles wide and narrow, and at the same time, the edge could hardly be seen at a glance.

After only a few breaths of time passed, the group of people passed through the pastoral farm full of Han family style, and came to a rather vast pasture.

"Look, General Xu, these are fine horses."

"A horse over one thousand catties costs 1000 Han coins per ten horses, or eight catties of fine gold; a horse over [-] catties over two hundred catties costs eighty-five thousand Han coins per ten horses, or eight catties of fine gold. Good gold."

"As for those under one thousand catties, most of them are immature horses, General Xu should not choose."

Carelessly pointing to the racecourse in front of him, Hu Chuquan didn't mean to take the other party in for a closer look, so he put Xu Huang into the racecourse and let him choose the horses he wanted to buy according to his own preferences.

And several Huns who could understand some Chinese and could barely communicate with each other by hand gestures also entered the racecourse as Xu Huang's assistants.

His eyes tightened slightly, and just by taking a look, Xu Huang saw no less than a thousand fine horses galloping freely on the pasture, and farther away, groups of horses of different sizes It is dotted between the vast hills like clouds.

Although when he was at home, Xu Huang had come into contact with many good horses because of his background, but if there are thousands of horses like now, it is the first time he has seen a herd of horses since he was born.

His throat moved slightly. It can be said that as a warrior general who is proficient in horse warfare, Xu Huang's love for horses is naturally just like the modern army treats tanks and the navy treats ships. He is born with a faint intimacy .

But now seeing such a large number of prairie horses at once, he, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but gradually turbulent in his heart.

I saw that although the horses were not big, at most four feet or less than five feet, they all had a thick body, strong limbs, and extremely rough and strong physique.

Just taking a rough look at the horses around him, Xu Huang found that as long as they are adult prairie horses, they all have big heads, broad foreheads, deep and long chests, extremely well-developed joints and tendons, just like small beasts. He is short and dainty, and his whole body is full of a sense of power like an explosion.

Nodding in satisfaction, Xu Huang, who had already asked Nalan about the price of the horse, naturally had no objection to the price Hu Chuquan mentioned earlier, and seemed to accept it with pleasure.

Later, after roughly estimating his own budget, Xu Huang also found that his budget for this trip was quite sufficient, so the whole person became a little eager to try.

Chapter 26 Smart Xu Huang

"Nalan, are these horses in the racecourse really free for me to choose?"

"Are these all military horses that can be used as cavalry for combat?"

Quite curiously, he asked Itunalan who was beside him. Xu Huang looked at the steeds all over the mountains and plains, and although he wanted to start picking them for a while, the more he looked, the less he knew how to start, so he went back and forth. Instead, he froze there and did not move.

And upon hearing his question, Yitu Nalan nodded slightly, as a response to Xu Huang's previous question.

"Don't worry, General Xu, this horse farm is the largest of our Yitu clan. The whole clan's good horses are here. All the stallions here are violent and suitable for horses."

"Just like what Hu Chuquan said before, as long as you don't select those ponies that are not yet fully grown and have not yet fully developed, you will not lose money no matter how you choose the remaining horses."

He explained to Xu Huang with great confidence that Yitu Nalan seemed to have mentioned his own strengths this time, and his whole temperament had undergone some slight changes.

On the other side, Xu Huang also nodded, and told the people behind him to help him choose a suitable horse.

As we all know, all mares in a herd of horses are generally docile, but also individuals with strong endurance, suitable for training as cart horses.

And this stallion often shoulders the task of defending the group. Not only is it more irritable, but its habits are also more ferocious, which is more suitable for the harsh battlefield atmosphere.

If Xu Huang remembered correctly, when he was young, he even heard rumors that some stallions ate meat during estrus, or directly killed some children.

Therefore, he readily accepted that all the horses in the herd were male horses, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the shrewdness of the Huns.

After all, things like mares are reserved for breeding purposes. If you buy a mares from the clan for yourself, it is very likely that after a period of domestication, Zhang Yan may gradually grow on the southern grasslands. He bred his own horse herd, and no longer needed to go north to buy horses from the Huns.

And by picking out the stallion and buying it for him, he can take advantage of the fact that the stallion is more suitable for use as a military horse, so that he can't feel the slightest dislike for the other party's behavior.

Slightly pursing his lips, Xu Huang just ordered those Huns to try their best to choose some big and strong horses for themselves, which were relatively capable of short-distance charging, and then left the professional work to a special person, and he had no extra horses. He went to point fingers at the other party, and stood at the entrance of the ranch like this.

Not long after, while the Hungarians in charge of horse selection were busy with their work, a somewhat hoarse voice came from Xu Huang's ear.

……

"You Han people are so weird. You were obviously asked to come to this racecourse to choose horses, but you left the matter to us Huns to do it. Don't be afraid that those guys will pick you old, weak, sick and disabled. Useless junk?"

Two zero six ⑧ 5 ⑥ [-] five iii

Some hoarse voices came to Xu Huang's ears. He just turned around and saw a young woman wearing a short beard with a little bronze luster standing beside him. It was sarcasm, but there was a trace of curiosity in the eyes looking at him.

And then, Xu Huang was not annoyed when he heard this, so he looked into the other's eyes in silence, until the other party was a little flustered, and then asked the woman in a dull manner:

"You mean, some of the horses you took out for sale are garbage that no one wants?"

I don't know when, Yitu Nalan quietly left the inside of the racecourse, and Xu Huang didn't know what he was running to do.

And at the same time that Nalan disappeared, he found this woman standing not far from him.

Now listening to the other party finally taking the initiative to break the silence between the two, Xu Huang, who had heard Yitu Nalan say that there are no bad horses in this racecourse, is naturally quite at ease, not because of the other party's one or two After saying a word, I felt some emotional fluctuations such as nervousness, so I replied to the other party in a neutral manner.

At the same time, the woman seemed to react unexpectedly, and after a few wanton laughs, she cast her eyes on the grassland in the distance.
