Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

In winter, Xu You traveled all the way to Guanzhong to buy horses. If Lu Bu didn't kill a lot of money, he would be sorry for Xu You's perseverance.

There are rare goods to live in, and the more Yuan Shao lacks horses, the more Lu Bu can't readily agree.

Only in this way, in order to sell the war horse from Lu Bu, Xu You will continue to increase the price, and Lu Bu will naturally earn more.

When Xu You heard Lu Bu's words, not only was he not worried, but became more and more happy.

Xu You had already thought about it on the way here, as long as Lu Bu didn't refuse immediately, then it meant there was something to talk about.

Although Lu Bu said that the matter was difficult, he did not say that the group should do it.

The so-called difficulty is nothing more than the price issue.

The price issue is not a problem for Xu You at all, it's not spending his money anyway.

What Xu You has to do is to negotiate the deal. He doesn't need to save Yuan Shao money, and the money saved is not his.

"Marquis Wen must have heard about the war in Hebei." Xu You said slowly, "The situation is not good for our lord. Gongsun Zan's cavalry is too powerful. Our army has been defeated repeatedly. Some officials from Jizhou have already begun to surrender to Gongsun Zan.

"If things go on like this, Jizhou will definitely be gradually eaten away by Gongsun Zan.

"So my lord wants to buy a batch of war horses to fight against Gongsun Zan."

"Marquis Wen, we don't talk about each other as a family, so you can't stand by and watch this matter."

"Although our two families are far apart, we can communicate with each other and have true feelings!"

Xu You started to play emotional cards with Lu Bu. If you want to talk about business, then talk about relationship first.

When the feelings are in place, the business will naturally become a success.

"Furthermore, the two of us have established business relations. Before coming here, my lord has told me that merchants in Guanzhong will not be charged commercial tax when they go to Jizhou in the future.

"But once Hebei is occupied by Gongsun Zan, the business may be..."

"Marquis Wen doesn't know that Gongsun Zan is a murderer."

Xu You was eloquent, first talking about feelings with Lu Bu, and then talking about trade, which was talking about interests with Lu Bu.

Finally, let’s blackmail Gongsun Zan by the way.

"Alas~ It seems that brother Ben Chu is really not easy." Lu Bu took over the conversation and said: "But the matter is very important, I have to discuss it with the people below."

"You all have come all the way in the wind and snow, and you must be tired. I will ask the people below to arrange accommodation for you. Let's take a good rest first, and we will talk about it later.

"That's good." Xu You didn't hold back, the horses really mattered a lot, and it was normal that Lu Bu didn't agree.

When Xu You and others left, before Lu Bu sent someone to call for Jia Xu, Jia Xu came uninvited.

"My lord, I heard that Yuan Shao sent another envoy?" Jia Xu hurried in and asked.

"That's right." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yuan Shao wants to buy a war horse from us."

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and said, "It's just right!"

Lu Bu looked puzzled, "What's right?"

"My lord, after I left just now, I started to worry about growing grain." Jia Xu said, "With the keel waterwheel, we have two more plains for grain production."

"Because there is no population in the two places, it is necessary to relocate the people of Liangzhou."

"However, when there is land, there are people who cultivate it, but the food does not grow out of thin air. It needs to be planted before it can be harvested in autumn."

"Just now, when I returned from the humble position, I roughly calculated the grain needed for the two plains, and found that we don't have that much grain and grass. I was about to come to discuss with the lord, and I didn't expect that the grain delivery came here." Jia Xu said with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha~" Lu Bu didn't expect Yuan Shao to come to help him again after listening to it.

"How much grain and grass do we need for planting according to the estimate of Mr. Lu Bu?" Lu Bu asked with concern.

Jia Xu stretched out his hand from his sleeve and spread five fingers, "My lord, at least this number is enough. No matter how many horses the other party buys, it can't be lower than this number. The more the better.

"Understood." Lu Bu nodded, confirming his own bottom line, and then it's easy to negotiate the price.

"Come here." Lu Bu ordered to the outside world: "Order Zhang Liao to select a batch of stallions to deceive, and strictly prohibit mares and stallions from being sold.

"No." The soldiers took the order and left.

A wicked smile appeared on Jia Xu's face, and he said, "My lord is more considerate."

"Haha! Mr. is overrated." Lu Bu laughed out loud.

After all, war horses are living creatures and can reproduce continuously.

If they were sold to Yuan Shao's mares and stallions, Yuan Shao only needed to take good care of them in the future, and there would be no shortage of horses.

Therefore, the war horses sold to Yuan Shao must all be male horses, and then these horses are deceived, that is, they are castrated to make them lose their fertility.

In this way, Yuan Shao can stop raising war horses and be self-sufficient.

Meridian Valley.

On the snow-covered land, a giant red horse galloped out of the valley, dragging a huge sled behind it, which was covered with dead branches, thorns, and broken rocks.

After Chitu ran out of Meridian Valley, he suddenly turned left and braked suddenly, and the sled behind him was suddenly thrown out under the action of inertia.

When the rope is found to its limit, the centrifugal force directly throws all the sundries on the sled out.

"Herod~~" Chitu seemed very proud and snorted happily.

At this moment, outside the Meridian Valley, the broken stones pulled out have piled up into a hill.

When it was not snowing, Chitu could only use a horse-drawn cart to pull out the waste, and then had to match a few people to help Chitu unload the cart.

However, after the snow fell, the means of transportation was changed from a horse-drawn carriage to a sled, and the Chitu unloaded the truck even faster. The smart Chitu threw out the waste on the sled, which greatly increased work efficiency.

Therefore, the heavy snow did not affect the progress of Pound and others, and because the Chitu unloaded the truck faster, the overall efficiency was higher.

After unloading the truck, Chitu didn't need anyone to control it, and returned to Guchen by itself.

Although the body is huge, and the ground is still covered with snow, Chitu can't run slowly at all.

Lu Bu did not expose the double stirrups and the high bridge saddle, but secretly fitted Chitu with non-slip shoes.

Anyway, no one dared to lift Chitu's hooves to see. With Chitu's body, a kick could blow people away.

Chitu returned along the mouth of the valley. Meridian Valley was not wide, and Pound didn't plan to widen it, but he made the ground very flat and kept going deeper into the valley in a straight line.

After a while, Chitu slowed down slowly, flicked its tail again beautifully, and sent the sled directly in front of the mountain-moving team.

Pound is shirtless, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, facing south, with a firm gaze, constantly waving the weapon in his hand, sweeping away all obstacles in front of him.

As the sandbags on his body kept getting heavier and took up more and more volume, it was very inconvenient to wear clothes. Pang De simply didn't wear them, and worked hard in the ice and snow.

Pound didn't dare at first, for fear of falling into the root cause of some disease, which would affect his future potential.

But Lu dispelled all Pound's worries without saying a word.

"As long as you are not dead, I can cure you."

After receiving Lu Bu's guarantee, Pound began to work hard to stimulate his potential, and he was no longer afraid.

At this moment, Pound was sweating profusely, and his naked upper body was constantly emitting white heat in the cold weather. The muscles on his body, especially the upper body muscles, became very exaggerated.

Because of constantly waving Fang Tian's painting halberd, the two arms received the most exercise, and the muscles bulged during exertion, which looked like two thighs.

Behind Pound followed ten soldiers, each with a shovel in his hand, working in full swing, constantly loading waste on the sled.

These ten soldiers followed Pound, eating and drinking well every day, and they were actually exercising when they waved their shovels.

After the sled is full, the red rabbit waiting on the side will pull it away again, run out of the valley to unload it, and return to the valley again, and so on.

Day after day, day by day, the Qinling Mountains are only 200 miles wide from north to south, and if they can't bear it for a year under Pound's hands, they will be completely broken through by Pound.

At that time, from the south gate of Chang'an, entering Ziwu Valley, you will be able to reach the hinterland of Hanzhong, and you don't have to attack Yangping Pass head-on.

General's Mansion.

Lu Bu let Xu You hang out for a few days, and when Xu You started to worry, Lu Bu met Xu You again.

"Marquis Wen, it's been so many days, have you ever negotiated a result?" Xu You asked directly when he came up.

Lu Bu was also unambiguous, and nodded directly: "Yes."

Xu You was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, for your generosity!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, just listen to what I have to say, maybe you will still curse in your heart after listening.

"Don't dare." Xu You quickly said no.

"I won't go into details about the preciousness of war horses, everyone understands." Lu Bu continued: "I only accept payment for grain and grass when selling war horses, and I don't want anything else.

"No problem." Xu You nodded hastily.

"I want this number." Lu Bu said, stretching out his thumb and index finger, making a comparison.

Jia Xu gave Lu Bu a sign of "five", and "five" is enough to meet all the needs after the beginning of spring, but Lu Bu directly gave "eight, intending to kill a wolf."

Seeing the price given by Lu Bu, Xu You's face twitched unceasingly. It was obvious that Lu Bu had killed the main artery of Jizhou.

"Marquis Wen...too many." Xu You wondered.

"I can give you some more horses." Lu Bu said without thinking.

Horses can be bred through grazing after they are sold, and the number will increase again, so it is not a big problem to sell more.

Lu Bu's next strategy is to take down Hanzhong and Shuzhong. There is no need for horses to fight these two places.

Instead of wasting food by raising war horses for nothing, it is better to sell some of the war horses in exchange for food shortages, and keep all the foals.

After the stable grain production in Xitao and Houtao areas, the foals will become adults and can serve as war horses.

"How many war horses can Marquis Wen give?" Xu You asked tentatively.

"Just tell me how much you want."

"Ten thousand?" Xu You felt a little guilty.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "How about I give you 20,000 war horses?"

After selling 20,000 war horses, Lu Bu still has a considerable number of horses in his hands.

Moreover, the war horses in Lu Bu's hands have been baptized by several wars, many of them are injured, and some are old, so they can sell these defective products to Yuan Shao.

Instead of waiting for the horses to grow old and disabled, it is better to find a taker for them.

Xu You couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, and began to calculate silently in his heart.

Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness is 10,000. In order to fight against Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao plans to buy 10,000 war horses.

But now that Lu is unwilling to sell 20,000 horses, Xu You has the right to make a decision, and after a short thought, he will definitely reach a deal.

If Yuan Shao had an army of 20,000 cavalry, would he still use the white horse who was afraid of Gongsun Zan?

However, Xu You is more cunning, and wants to suppress the price again and strive for more discounts.

Xu You also knew in his heart that Lu Bu was very short of food, and the two sides were trying to pick each other up.

If Lu is not short of food, how can he sell his horse?

"Marquis Wen, this number is difficult. Can it be lowered appropriately? We will continue to deal with each other in the future. How about finding a replacement for you next time?" Xu You began to discuss.

Lu Bu also refused to take oil and salt, slowly shook his head and said: "`~No, it's a buy-it-yourself price."

Xu You couldn't help showing a tangled look when he heard the words. Although he had the right to make decisions, he was not Yuan Shao after all.

Yuan Shao

When negotiating with Lu Bu, both parties are their own bosses and have absolute authority.

As for Xu You and Lu Bu negotiating, there will be some lack of confidence.

"How about this, although the discount is not good, but you can help Brother Ben Chu in other ways." Lu Bu was also afraid that the deal would fall through, seeing that Xu You was still hesitating, he spoke out to break the deadlock in the field

"What aspect?" Xu You asked.

"Dayi!" Lu Bu smiled, "Brother Ben Chu and Gongsun Zan's battle is a dispute between two princes, and there is no question of who is right and who is wrong."

"However... if the emperor makes a decree and declares that one party is a traitor, then the other party will be famous as a teacher, and can be ordered to punish the thief and occupy the righteousness!"

Another way to use the emperor is to seal not only officials, but also rebels.

"Then how should we proceed? It seems that Gongsun Zan has guarded the border for many years, and he doesn't seem to have any reason to do so." Xu You felt a little confused.

"Who said there is no?" Lu Bu asked back: "Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, who is the emperor's uncle today, is a highly respected generation."

"Then Gongsun Zan committed a rebellion, and a mere prefect of Beiping dared to lead troops to besiege and kill Youzhou Mu. Where is the law of the country? What is the law of heaven?"

"Following the above, arbitrarily embracing soldiers, massacring the clan of the Han family, and invading...Aren't these all Gongsun Zan's crimes?"

"That's right!" Xu You slapped his thigh suddenly, "This Gongsun Zan is a heinous person, and he must be punished!"

"Gongsun Zan murdered the clansmen of the Han family, brother Benchu ​​should share the worries of the emperor." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Marquis Wen is right! What he said is right!"

"By the way." Lu Bu changed the subject and asked, "Our trade in food and horses..."

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, it's settled at this time." Xu You no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed.

20,000 war horses, plus occupying righteousness, this condition is already very generous, there is no reason not to agree.

Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief. After this transaction, Guanzhong no longer has to worry about food.

The two major plains are reclaimed in the spring, and the autumn harvest will usher in a bumper harvest (the king's).

Go south and take Hanzhong, and you will have an extra piece of Hanzhong Plain in your hand. Although it is only one county, it can still produce a lot of food.

And with Hanzhong, Lu Bu can continue to look south and start to take down the Chengdu Plain.

After the big things are finalized, the conversation after that will be much easier.

"Wen Hou, these are my big merchants in Jizhou." Xu You began to introduce Lu Bu one by one.

Lu Bu nodded, and didn't pay too much attention to it. Apart from silk, Lu Bu was not very interested in other products, so he asked casually: "Which family produces more silk in Jizhou?

Silk is not only found in Sichuan, the Central Plains can also grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms to produce silk.

It's just that Shu brocade, the best silk, is only produced in the middle of Sichuan.

Hebei is rich in mulberry jujubes, the planting of mulberry trees is very good, and the silk production is certainly not small.

After Lu Bu's voice fell, other merchants looked at Zhen Yan in unison, and Xu You also took the opportunity to stand up and introduce solemnly: "The Zhen family in Zhongshan, the silk industry in Hebei area, are all managed by their family.

buy and sell. "

Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he liked this situation the most.

Let Lu Bu go to Jizhou to collect silk from door to door, Lu Bu must have that spare time, it is best to have a local person help him collect it.

For example, the silk in Shuzhong was directly collected by Liu Zhang using administrative power, and then Lu stopped packing it and bought it away.

It is not a problem that the price is more expensive. Anyway, it is the Hu merchants who pay the bill, and the key point is to save trouble.

"Everyone, please stay away. I want to discuss business with the Zhen family." Bu issued an order to evict the guests, and said, "Of course, if you have any good projects, you can also talk to me later.

Naturally, everyone did not dare to disobey Lu Bu's order, and left one after another, leaving Zhen Yan alone.

At this time, Zhen Yan was very excited. The Zhen family could climb the big tree of Lu Bu, and their business in Guanzhong would be stable from that day on.

This is the great general of the dynasty, who is currently serving as the speaker.

Just when Zhen Yan thought that Lu Bu didn't want to discuss any big projects with him, the first sentence that Lu Bu said made Zhen Yan completely confused.

"I heard you have a sister committed?".
