The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 364
Kuai Liang offered 80,000 shi to buy Cai Mao's horse, but Cai Mao was unwilling.
In Jingzhou, a good horse is really rare.
Moreover, the Cai family is a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and they are not short of money and food.
Therefore, Cai Mao was unwilling to give in.
Liu Biao looked at the horse in front of him and had an idea in his mind.
However, now that Kuai Liang and Cai Mao are fighting over each other, Liu Biao is too embarrassed to fight for them.
……
Inside the post house.
Wen Sheng stroked his beard and listened to the scout's report.
Zhou Cheng's intelligence system has already penetrated into Jingzhou.
Although Wen Shengren was drinking in the post house, the process of bidding for a horse between Kuai Liang and Cai Mao was truthfully described.
Wen Sheng said,"It seems like we should go see Liu Jingsheng tomorrow."
It was just as Wen Sheng expected.
Early the next morning, Liu Biao sent someone to invite Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng came to the Zhou Mufu.
At this time, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and other civil servants and generals from Jingzhou were already waiting in the mansion.
There is power in numbers, and power overwhelms others.
Wen Sheng guessed Liu Biao's thoughts with just one glance.
Wen Sheng represents Zhou Cheng, and although Zhou Cheng is the great Sima, he dominates one side. Therefore, Liu Biao wants to suppress Wen Sheng in order to gain greater leverage in negotiations.
Of course, this is a good thing.
Because he wanted to lower the price, it meant that Liu Biao wanted to facilitate the deal.
Sure enough, all the princes in the world have selfish motives and want to strengthen themselves.
Liu Biao didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Liu Biao took the initiative and said,"Sir, please sit down."
Wen Sheng did not hesitate and sat down directly.
At this time, Liu Biao said to Wen Sheng:"Da Sima wants to buy grain with horses, but I don't know how much the horses cost?"
Liu Biao went directly to the topic.
Wen Sheng said:"Three hundred and fifty stones of grain can buy a horse."
Three hundred and fifty stones of grain?!
This selling price is obviously beyond Liu Biao's psychological price.
Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others also had the same eyebrows, with unhappy expressions on their faces.
Wen Sheng didn't care about the expressions of Kuai Yue and others at all, and said to himself:"Now the Yuan Highway is so powerful that it covers Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou. If Liu Shijun wants to stay in Jingzhou, he needs a strong army, and he has to look to the sky. My lord is the only one who sells five thousand war horses. If Liu Shijun is not willing to trade, he will go to Shouchun and sell them again. By then, Yuan Guangdao will be riding across Jingxiang, which may not be what the emperor wants."
Hiss - the civil and military officials present here. Take a breath.
If it were really sold to Yuan Shu, that would be fine!
Moreover, five thousand war horses!
If he had five thousand horses and Jingzhou's original cavalry, Liu Biao would be able to form a powerful cavalry force.
In terms of the number of cavalry, they will surpass Cao Cao and even catch up with Yuan Shu.
But the price of three hundred and fifty stones is indeed too high.
Liu Biao's psychological price is less than three hundred stones.
However, Wen Sheng shows no signs of lowering prices.
A rare commodity to live in, let alone a war horse with strategic value?
With the war horse, the mobility of the army is immediately improved. Whether it is to expand territory or defend the land and calm the people, it has an extra guarantee.
Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, then at Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang both nodded towards Liu Biao.
Five thousand war horses, priced at 1.75 million stone grain!
Liu Biao took a deep breath and then said:"The horse will be sold for three hundred and fifty dan."
Wen Sheng said:"Later, my master will send someone to discuss the details of the transaction.""
……
Liu Biao and Zhou Cheng reached a major deal.
Sell 5,000 war horses at one time!
The news soon spread throughout Jingzhou.
The spies sent by Cao Cao to Xiangyang also worked hard to report the deal to Cao Cao.
"What!"
"Five thousand horses!"
Cao Cao widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
In Jingzhou, and even in the entire Jiangnan, five thousand war horses is an astonishing number.
And now the world's famous horse dealers are all guests of princes from all over the world.
Even so, The number of war horses that can be purchased at one time is quite limited.
Jingzhou is far from the north. Generally, the war horses of horse dealers will be bought up when they arrive in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou and other places. Even if it is leftovers, others will pick up the remaining war horses. Jingzhou is also difficult to obtain.
Of course, Zhou Cheng's asking price this time is indeed astonishing.
Three hundred and fifty shi for a horse, nearly two million shi of grain.
Xun Yu said:"My lord, the Zhou thief buys grain with horses, which is enough It can be seen that they are also short of food.
Cao Cao nodded and said,"The Zhou thieves have been fighting for years and have consumed a lot of food.""
If you want strong soldiers to fight, it is normal to eat three liters of rice a day.
One hundred thousand troops and horses, and one person eats horse chews a day, how shocking is the consumption?
Moreover, Zhou Cheng absorbed a large number of refugees.
Even if the land is barren, it can be cultivated to support the army. But before the harvest, it is necessary to feed the people every day, one liter of grain per person per day.
Of course, including Cao Cao, all the princes in the world wanted to find out Zhou Cheng's grain reserves.
At this time, Xun You said:"My lord, If Liu Jingsheng is allowed to obtain these five thousand horses, it will be extremely detrimental to our army."
Regardless of whether Zhou Cheng is short of food or not.
What Xun You cares about is the impact and changes brought by five thousand horses.
If Liu Biao gets these five thousand horses, he will not be far behind Yuan Shu in terms of the number of cavalry.
And Cao Cao has more cavalry. In terms of quantity, the advantage will be completely lost.
