Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 112 Dividends 2
The three major production bases of war horses in the Han Dynasty were Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Xiliang. Xiliang had always been controlled by Dong Zhuo, and it was impossible for the war horses to flow into Yuan Shu's hands. In the past, Yuan Shu never connected with Gongsun Xu, let alone bought war horses.

In the land of Jiangdong, there is a shortage of war horses. Ordinary horses can be sold for [-] gold, and war horses owned by the Han Dynasty can be sold for [-] or even [-] gold. The minimum is one hundred gold.As for some slightly better war horses, as long as they are touted by horse dealers, it is not surprising that they can be sold for thousands of dollars.

If it is about precious war horses such as sweat-blooded BMWs or Dawan horses, hehe, sorry, the land of Jiangdong has not really been priced yet.It's not that the people in Jiangdong can't afford the money, but that these war horses only exist in legends for the people of Jiangdong.

Of course, not all generals are so rich that they want to buy war horses. The key point is that war horses of this level are like jewelry. Some aristocratic families may not be able to use them, but they can be used as gifts for those who need them. It couldn't be better.

This just explains why the people on Sun Jian's side were so jealous when Gongsun Xu gave Sun Ce a hard-earned horse. At that time, Gongsun Xu only heard them say that he was generous, but what does this generosity mean? It's not very clear yet.

Jiangdong is like this, Huainan, Changsha are not much better, otherwise, with Yuan Shu's financial resources, coupled with his prodigal character, how could he not think of a way to form a cavalry, such a good thing, Yuan Shu has never had a chance do it.

Yuan Shu couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that Gongsun Xu really didn't intend to continue, Yuan Shu could only smile and said, "My nephew is too generous. It's my duty to hunt down the rebels. How can these grains and salaries be paid?" Where is my nephew? Otherwise, the heroes of the world will laugh at me, Yuan Gonglu, for being stingy.

But, nephew, look, can I buy some war horses, cattle and sheep from you?I heard that you captured a lot this time, anyway, you have no shortage of war horses, why don't you give me some and sell some, don't worry, the price is up to you, uncle will never treat you badly. "

As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, everyone in the big tent immediately fell silent. In fact, the princes of the alliance all sent people or came in person, most of them were for this horse. The horse captured by the Youzhou Army made everyone jealous, and they all wanted to buy some. But, if Gongsun Xu doesn't mention this matter, it's hard for everyone to bring it up. Now that Yuan Shu speaks ahead of time, everyone just wants to see how Gongsun Xu reacts.

Anyway, it was Yuan Shu who started it, and no one else would say anything wrong about Yuan Shu at this time, what Yuan Shu said was their thoughts.

Yuan Shu himself felt that he was a bit shameless. It was a bit embarrassing for him to ask his nephew to send him a war horse so blatantly in public.Yuan Shu also made up his mind, let Gongsun Xu give him two hundred or three hundred horses at most, and then buy one or two thousand horses himself, so that Gongsun Xu will not be at a disadvantage, everyone is good.

Shameless is shameless, Yuan Shu can't control so much, anyway, there are many shameless people in the big tent, and he is not outstanding.

Gongsun Xu put down his wine glass, looked at his father Gongsun Zan, then turned to look at Yuan Shu and said, "I don't know how much uncle wants me to give away? General Ji Ling contributed a lot this time, thanks to his uncle's good teaching and gift of some war horses." And it should."

Gongsun Xu threw the question to Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shu a little unprepared. In fact, Yuan Shu knew that the horses captured by Gongsun Xu were all prairie horses that had been on the battlefield, and each horse could be sold for at least two hundred gold. If I want him to donate [-] horses, the minimum will be [-] gold, which is far more than the food and salaries I have to pay to the [-] soldiers under my command.

Yuan Shu felt blushed now. It would be great if he spoke by himself, but with so many people watching, how could he speak.

However, all these words have been said, so we must make the words round.For his many years of cavalry dream, Yuan Shu decided to lose face again, anyway, other people in this tent are not much better.Yuan Shu kicked Ji Ling, then extended his right hand with three fingers, indicating three hundred horses.

Ji Ling naturally knew that Yuan Shu wanted him to estimate the range of Gongsun Xu's acceptance. When Ji Ling saw Yuan Shu stretching out three fingers, Ji Ling blushed and quickly lowered his head and did not speak.Yuan Shu knew that Ji Ling had warned him that he wanted too much. At the same time, Yuan Shu also noticed that the faces of Gongsun Zan and the generals of the Youzhou Army were a bit ugly.

The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly felt a little cold, Yuan Shu quickly retracted a finger with an apologetic smile, and said in his mouth: "It doesn't matter if my nephew can't accept it, I will pay for it all, and I promise not to let my nephew suffer. "

Seeing Yuan Shu's series of reactions, Gongsun Xu found it funny.However, in the final analysis, Yuan Shu sent the most troops this time and took the greatest risk. Even his general Ji Ling was sent to help Gongsun Xu. Based on this, Gongsun Xu felt that he should reward this uncle well.

Just when Yuan Shu felt embarrassed and was about to retract another finger, Gongsun Xu suddenly stood up and picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle has sacrificed so much for my nephew this time, how can my nephew be stingy? Okay, I will give it to you." Uncle has [-] war horses, I will ask Zilong to take General Ji Ling to pick them later, and I will guarantee that they are all Xiliang horses..."

Before Gongsun could finish his words, Ji Ling and Gao Lan, who were drinking, immediately spit out their drinks: "There are two thousand horses, and they are the tallest horses in the Xiliang Army. This Hussar General is really rich." The thoughts that popped up in the minds of the two of them.

If you are not in charge, you don't know Chai Migui. These two are also generals who lead the army all the year round. Naturally, they know the meaning of two thousand horses. If they can train two thousand cavalry, it is definitely something worth celebrating.

You know, in history, when Yuan Shaoxiong dominated the north and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Yuan Shu only asked Yuan Shao if he could send three thousand horses to him because of the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's family. He didn't hesitate to fall out with Yuan Shu and refused to send it away.This is enough to see the preciousness and scarcity of war horses in the Central Plains.

While the other princes were surprised, Yuan Shu was stunned. At the same time, he looked at Gongsun Xu with wide eyes and said, "Nephew, are you sure? Two thousand horses? You didn't fool me, nephew, you,, ,,,,"

Gongsun Xu looked puzzled, and was about to speak when Ji Ling, who was sitting next to Yuan Shu, immediately stood up and pushed his lord down, and at the same time bowed to Gongsun Xu, "Thank you General Hussar, thank you General Hussar." At the same time, Ji Ling also He kept winking at his lord, hoping that his lord would not mess things up.

Yuan Shu finally recovered from his astonishment, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and pretended to drink to cover up his disrespect.

At this time, Yuan Shu was really smiling. Originally, Yuan Shu himself only planned to give away and buy about [-] war horses, but Gongsun Xu sent them all at once. Yuan Shu felt that he must have gotten lucky today.

After Yuan Shu's matter fell through, Tao Qian and Kong Rong became anxious on the other side.Kong Rong was thin-skinned and embarrassed to say it out, but Tao Qian couldn't control so much, so Tao Qian quickly toasted Gongsun Xu: "Nephew is so generous, uncle, I offer you a toast."

Gongsun Xu drank a glass of wine and said: "By the way, I forgot about the two uncles. I also prepared a thousand war horses for the two uncles as a token of gratitude. In addition, I plan to give them to General Sun Jian." With a thousand horses, you uncles have taken care of me too much, so I can only thank you with a few horses."

When Yuan Shu heard it, he was even more happy. Sun Jian belonged to his subordinates, and now Sun Jian also has a thousand horses. That is to say, Yuan Shu now has three thousand horses. Even if Sun Jian didn't plan to give them all to himself, Yuan Shu would Think of a way, for example, exchange grain, grass or gold and silver for five or six hundred horses. Now, Yuan Shu can make a fortune.

Just when Yuan Shu was enjoying himself, Kong Rong stood up and said with a guilty expression: "My nephew is too polite, I am ashamed of receiving these thousand horses. Since the alliance, my nephew has led the army to fight. At the forefront, we princes who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality have not made much effort.

Today, my nephew not only severely injured Dong Zhuo, but also defeated Dong Zhuo's strong general Lv Bu. At the same time, he took the opportunity to wipe out the [-] invading Xiongnu army, and then smashed the [-] coalition army on the grassland. The family colluded with Dong Zhuo.

This kind of credit is all done by my nephew with a knife and a gun.I, an old man, can only follow behind to cheer. This time I sent [-] troops, hoping to do my best to win Dong Daye. Now that I am done, how can I come to snatch the credit for my nephew?

The so-called no reward for no merit, I am ashamed to receive these thousand horses, please take it back with my nephew. "

When Kong Rong said this, everyone in the big tent reacted differently, some admired, some sighed, and some were astonished.Gongsun Xu was even more moved. In this troubled world, it is almost impossible to find such a good person like Kong Rong. It is a pity that such a good person must have a bad ending.

Yuan Shu was in a hurry. If Kong Rong really didn't want it, then Yuan Shu's war horse would have to be sent back. How could Yuan Shu be willing to do so.

Gongsun Xu put down his wine glass and bowed to Kong Rong: "Uncle is kind and righteous, and my nephew admires it, but uncle must accept these war horses. I hope uncle can make good use of these war horses to win Dong Daye for this and for the people of the world." , make a good effort."

Kong Rong was about to speak, but Yuan Shu immediately interrupted and said, "Don't be modest, Wenju, let's accept this war horse, and we can't treat my nephew badly, so let's exchange food, grass, gold and silver with my nephew, or Nephew can do whatever he wants, so everyone
No loss.what do you think? "

Gongsun Xu nodded after hearing this, and looked at Kong Rong sincerely. Kong Rong was impatient, and it was worth accepting it with the cheek.

This is how a bonus banquet started. Although Yuan Shu and others were appeased, what about the other princes?They are even more jealous of Gongsun Xu's war horse, but how will Gongsun Xu treat their request?
