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

"Garbage? We, the Yitu Clan, don't have any garbage."

"Whether it's a garbage man or a garbage horse, there is no one."

"It's just that I didn't expect that you guys are quite open-minded."

"There are many differences from the Han people I met before."

As if muttering to herself, the woman just looked at the grassland and the sky, and glanced at Xu Huang beside her from time to time.

And when he heard that the other party was finally willing to speak properly, Xu Huang, who was already somewhat inarticulate, naturally smiled slightly, and started to chat with the other party by taking advantage of this remark.

"This... girl, I am different from those ordinary merchants. Although these thousands of horses may not be too many, for a nomadic clan in the north, it is certainly not an easy task, so naturally It will get the attention of your leaders."

"As long as your leader's brain is not burned out, I think you will not offend me, a big customer, for some petty gains, and even secretly ask those Huns who are responsible for helping me choose horses to choose more strong ones." Healthy horses, come to win the goodwill of me—or the faction behind me.”

"Only if we are satisfied with this transaction, in the future, we may choose your Yitu clan as the target of the transaction again because of the current experience."

"This is a very important thing for your clan, right?"

Confidently said to the woman, you must know that Xu Huang is not an ordinary general who only knows how to read like Yang Feng and the others, or who regards reading as a burden, but has been keen on using his brain since a long time ago. To solve the problems you encounter.

This is also the reason why when Xu Huang was in Hedong, even though Xu Huang's figure was more like a warrior charging on the battlefield than Yang Feng, Yang Feng still regarded him as his assistant and treated him like a civil official.

It is precisely because he likes to use his brain, so long before the young woman opened her mouth, Xu Huang understood that the other clan would never turn against him easily, at least he would not choose to turn against him in such a basic place as the quality of the goods.

It is precisely because he likes to use his brain, as early as in the communication with Itunalan, he felt early that the other party's desire for this transaction was even higher than his own.

Chapter 27 Sarituya

"Ah, yes."

"How can we Huns take the risk of offending a big customer to pursue those petty profits..."

Especially at this juncture.

……

"Sarituya, that's my name."

"In the words of your Han people, it is Yitu Sarituya, or something similar to the moon."

"I am the leader of the Yitu clan, and I am also Nalan's sister."

"Nalan has something to do and left with King Huchuquan. The rest of the work will be done by me instead of him and you."

Somewhat casually responded to Xu Huang, that young Hun girl—or Sarituya recalled the ups and downs of the Hun tribe in the past few years, and recalled that her clan changed from a high-ranking royal court The owner's decline to the present state made the whole person feel a little embarrassed for a while.

And beside her, Xu Huang didn't seem to have thought that this Hun woman, who looked only in her twenties and was not much different from her own age, was actually the contemporary leader of the Yitu clan, so a hint of disbelief appeared on her face. look.

Fortunately, because he has always been expressionless, Xu Huang did not do anything too rude in front of the other party, but the whole person became a little silent for a while.

After a long silence between the two, it was Naytu Nalan's sister, Sari Tuya, who spoke again and took the initiative to chat with Xu Huang.

"General Xu, I knew a lot from your appearance earlier. Could it be that you were a scholar from the Han Dynasty in the south?"

"Is it true that one or two of the scholars over there are as tall and strong as you?"

Some curiously asked the other party, because his younger brother Yitu Nalan was called away by Huchuquan, so Sari Tuya became the only one in the racecourse who could barely understand some Chinese and was able to have some conversations with Xu Huang. the presence of exchanges.

And considering the huge number of horses the opponent needs, the Huns may have to wait for a while to get the horses together. Sarituya is not in a hurry to leave, so he and the opponent are waiting at the entrance of the horse farm for everyone to choose Send out a sufficient amount of horses, and then trade with the other party on behalf of the entire Yitu clan.

On the opposite side of her, Xu Huang also looked like he was doing nothing at this time, just looking at the busy Hun helpers with his eyes, as if he could understand some martial arts moves from the opponent's movements, the whole People don't know what they are really thinking about, or they are simply in a daze.

But after hearing Sarituya's words, he subconsciously grinned, waved his hand towards the other party, and explained loudly.

"I'm not a scholar, I just read some books."

"In our Han Dynasty, the generals who lead the army in battle are not only competent in martial arts, but if you want to be a good general, reading and writing can be said to be a necessary ability."

Gently pursing their lips, the two of them chatted one after another. Before they knew it, a long time had passed, and at the same time, the sun was clearly falling towards the west, covering the entire grassland. It was dyed a dazzling gold and red.

And with Sari Tuya's company, Xu Huang also felt that the time passed quickly, as if it hadn't been a while, [-] horses of different coat colors, but all of them were fat and strong grassland horses He was put on a simple saddle and bridle by the Huns, and was led to him from various places in the horse farm.

After counting the number neatly and finding that the number of horses in front of him was much more than [-], Xu Huang readily delivered the box containing a large amount of gold to the other party.

Opposite him, counting the weight of the gold with some joy, Sari Tuya, who seemed to have completed a major event, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the whole person became more relaxed than before, and also became a little enthusiastic .

"General Xu, 670 grassland horses that have just grown up and weigh more than [-] Han Jin, this is already the total number of all the horses in our clan that weigh more than [-] Han Jin. Gather here."

"As we said before, the price of each horse is 3000 Han coins, and these more than 72 horses will be calculated according to the number of [-], and you will be charged a total of [-] and [-] Han Jin of gold. The odd [-] horses are not counted, just treat it as a gift from us Yitu Huns."

"The bridle and the saddle have all been fitted. Although it is not an expensive saddle, according to your skill, there must be no problem if you want to go up and test it for a test drive."

"I just don't know, how do you plan to bring these more than 3000 horses back to the territory of the big man?"

He introduced it to Xu Huang with some enthusiasm. Seeing that the densely packed horse herd was about to be transformed into real wealth in his own hands, Sari Tuya was also a little excited at the moment.

But after recalling the scene of Xu Huang coming to her clan today, she was a little surprised to find that the other party came to the northern border of the Han Dynasty alone, without any servants or followers.

On the opposite side of her, Xu Huang felt a little embarrassed at this time. After all, after he had just discovered that the horses were as dark as a dark cloud, he remembered that neither he nor Zhang Yan, the lord, had any Have any experience buying military horses in bulk.

It was the first time he went to Yanmen on behalf of Zhang Yanbei, and he naturally forgot that these thousands of horses are not like thousands of taels of gold, which he can take away by himself.

"Hmm... I really forgot about this, I wonder if I can ask Chief Yitu to arrange some escorts for me, and after the horses are driven to the south of Lujiang, I can hand them over to me my lord."

He scratched his head in embarrassment, Xu Huang also felt that his situation was quite embarrassing now.

After all, regarding the number of horses that he was worried about earlier, it can be said that the other party's clan did not have any problems, but in his own preparations for the pick-up party, there was such a big mistake because of a carelessness.

In order to buy enough war horses, it can be said that he has been running around for more than half a month, and finally achieved today's results.

Even for the sake of not wasting his past work, Xu Huang could only grit his teeth and complain cheekily to the Hun girl in front of him.

Chapter 28 Add money? No problem!

"This place is thousands of miles away from the Lujiang River. I am afraid that it is beyond my ability to let the next person drive the horses back."

"It just so happens that what I'm carrying this time is only a few hundred catties of gold as a deposit. If you can make it easier for you, the leader, you can bring back the remaining payment after you arrive at Lujiang."

Discussing with the other party in embarrassment, Xu Huang didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen if he didn't pay attention.

Just scanning the herd of horses that covered the grassland like dark clouds with his eyes, he could faintly feel his temples throbbing.

It would be fine if Sari Tuya was willing to send someone to help him this time, even if he spent more money for it, in Xu Huang's mind, it shouldn't be too important to his lord.

But if the other party is unwilling to send the clan people to follow him in the end, if he is asked to drive these more than 3000 horses back to Lujiang alone, it may be difficult for him to do it in ten or eight years.

He lowered his head and stared at the toe of his shoe, even with Xu Huang's flattering personality, he felt his cheeks were red and swollen and shy.

What he didn't know was that at the same time, Sari Tuya was also feeling quite embarrassed about this matter.

……

Help drive horses?

It's the little things.As long as a few skilled horse herders are dispatched, it won't take too long for them to integrate these more than 3000 horses into a new herd, and head towards Xu Huang's destination from north to south.

……

Help transport horses to Lujiang?

This is also a small matter.You must know that the stamina of prairie horses has always been the most outstanding among the three major thoroughbred horse breeds in ancient times. Even the thinnest horse among the more than 3000 horses can easily achieve more than [-] horses a day. Within three to five days, they went south and arrived in Lujiang County, which was an easy task for the Huns.

……

What if... drive more than 3000 horses all the way south to Lujiang?

Some difficulties frowned, not because Sarituya was unwilling to help Xu Huang, or because he was greedy for the cost of fodder along the road, but because he wanted to move a herd of thousands of horses from north to south. Driving thousands of miles away, it is impossible for the Huns who are in charge of herding horses to take care of the diet and life of each horse as meticulously as they drive three or five horses.

And if there are some diseases or plagues along the way... no, just some unacceptable conditions, it is very likely that there will be a large-scale attrition among Xu Huang's horses.

It would be fine if they were raised rougher in normal times. After all, horses that are used to living in the Northland naturally don't need a horseman to take care of them, and they can adapt well to the living environment in the Northland.

But once this familiar environment undergoes large-scale changes, Sarituya's previous worries are not as simple as unfounded worries.

Horses are not cheap livestock such as pigs and sheep that can be easily bought for five or six hundred yuan, let alone chickens, ducks, and poultry that can be bought for sixty or eighty yuan. In northern provinces like Bingzhou, it can be easily resold at a high price of around [-] to [-] yuan.

And if Xu Huang's horses were led by the Huns under his command, there were also large-scale deaths, not to mention whether the strength behind Xu Huang would be detrimental to his clan, it would only be a monetary loss. It will make this business a little bit worth the loss for the Yitu clan of the Southern Huns.

Of course, if you want to solve this problem, there is not absolutely no way to think about it. As long as one or two skilled veterinarians are placed with the team, it can be guaranteed for them who are quite familiar with the living habits of horses. On the way, Xu Huang's loss was suppressed to a minimum.

But now it is June and July, which is the peak season for prairie horses to estrus and calving.

Now the two veterinarians in the clan are already busy with their feet on the ground. If one is temporarily transferred out, it will inevitably have a big impact on the number of new horses added by the clan next year.

Silently calculating the gains and losses in his heart, he calculated how much benefit Xu Huang would bring to the clan if he had a good impression of the Yitu clan he belonged to this time, and whether it would be able to make up for the various losses that may occur next year, Saritu said. At this moment, Ya lowered her head and kept thinking, as if she wanted to get the most perfect solution on this matter.

And this kind of silence lasted for about half a quarter of an hour before Sari Tuya finally made up his mind and agreed to Xu Huang's request.

"Well...it's not impossible to send someone to help you transport these horses back to Lujiang."

"It's just that the price of this single horse has to be increased by [-]% from the original price, ten thousand yuan per horse, no bargaining."

Hesitantly said to Xu Huang that Sarituya was also a little displeased with his temporary price increase, and at the same time wondered whether the other party would agree to the rather harsh condition he proposed.

However, if the losses that may occur in the next year are not allocated in advance in this way, as the leader of the clan, Sari Tuya feels that he will inevitably be somewhat incompetent.

With a slight sense of uneasiness in her heart, she just stared at the other's hands like this, as if she was afraid to look directly into Xu Huang's eyes, for fear that the other party would break the connection with her clan and make all the previous work It all fell short.

But beyond Sarituya's expectation, just when she was mentally prepared to meet Xu Huang's doubts, the other party agreed to her somewhat harsh request in one gulp.

……

"Huh? Increase the price by [-]%..."

"Yes, as long as you are willing to help me drive these horses to Lujiang County, then according to your request, the original price will be increased by [-] percent."

He frowned slightly and thought about it for a while. After hearing that the other party was willing to help him, but he just needed to add money, Xu Huang knew that the matter could be concluded in all likelihood.Or even if he couldn't, at most he could bring back a slightly smaller number of horses, so that he wouldn't go back empty-handed to face his lord Zhang Yan.

On the other hand, although Zhang Yan would have to spend millions of dollars in private assets to make up for the addition of the two percent of the price, what you need to know is that Xu Huang or Zhang Yan behind him originally He had already made psychological preparations that a single army horse cost more than 400 yuan, otherwise he would not have been allowed to run to northern Xinjiang alone with more than [-] Han Jin of gold.

Now that he was able to successfully exclude the Han merchants as middlemen after meeting Nalan by chance, Xu Huang no longer had any objections to the price of the horse, and even felt that it was too cheap.

If the other party is really responsible for transporting these horses to the Lujiang area, even if the original price is increased by [-]%, it is not unacceptable for Xu Huang and others.

Chapter 29 is no big deal

"Okay, then let's use the price of ten thousand yuan per horse, and three thousand six hundred catties of gold as the total price."

"We will be responsible for sending people to follow General Xu all the way south... No, I will follow you to Lujiang. After all, there are not many people in the clan who can speak Chinese fluently."

After letting out a long breath, after hearing that Xu Huang was willing to accept his temporary price increase decision, Sarituya relaxed slightly, and at the same time decided to lead the team by himself, the leader of the clan, with some clan members The helper helped the other party to transport all the horses to the Lujiang area in the south.
