Wait for Liu Bei to snatch the lamb leg from the 'Hu' mouth, and discard the bones after eating.

Hu Ren, who was sitting cross-legged, smiled and said: "Recruit Liu Bei, and the name is well deserved." ”

The word is round. Liu Bei arched his hand with a little surprise and said, "You also know me Liu Bei?" ”

"The story of the young prince (old things), the northerners know it." The Hu people claimed to be from the north, and spoke an authentic Youzhou official dialect. is also quite familiar with Liu Bei's origins. It really can't be treated as an ordinary Hu person.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Does the king know why I came?" ”

"Horse trafficking." The Hu people on the other side are indeed the self-proclaimed King of Khan Lu, the Wuhuan King of Youbeiping, Wuyan.

"Exactly." Liu Bei clapped his hands lightly. The white soldier waiting outside the tent sent a money bag.

When you open your eyes, it is a golden horseshoe cake.

Hu is narrow-minded and suspicious. Instead of saying useless polite words, it's better to get straight to the point.

Glancing at the golden cake, King Wuhuan's smile was more sincere: "There is a horse market in Zhuo County." Why did the young prince and marquis give up the near and far? ”

"Without it. The market price of horses is high. Liu Bei told the truth.

King Wuhuan nodded, and then asked, "Why did you come to my right Beiping?" ”

Liu Bei also smiled and said: "There are four kings in the three counties. Now that Liu Bei is here, why should the king ask more? ”

King Wuhuan glanced at Liu Bei deeply: "The young prince and the marquis are quick to talk, and this king will speak straightforwardly." Dare to ask the young prince, do you only sell horses once, or do you come every year? ”

As Liu Bei thought.

Youzhou Horse Market was divided by the three counties of Wuhuan. The Hu merchants in the city are all the monopoly sellers of several Wuhuan kings. The three counties Wuhuan is divided into franchise areas by the county where it is located, and the king of Wuhuan in the right Beiping naturally controls the horse market trade in the counties under the jurisdiction of the right Beiping.

However, compared with other counties, Youbeiping County has been sharply reduced due to Xianbei's southward expansion. Now there are only four counties left, and there is a large loss of people, and there is not one out of ten. No longer prosperous. As a result, the volume of horse transactions is declining, and the life of Wuhuan in Youbeiping is becoming more and more miserable.

At this time, Wuhuan was mainly engaged in animal husbandry, supplemented by hunting and farming. History called it: "The vulgar likes to ride and shoot, and hunt birds and beasts." Grazing with aquatic grasses, living in an impermanent place. Take the dome as the house, and open to the sun in the east. Eat meat and drink cheese, and use wool as clothing".

Animal husbandry is well developed, and there are many horses, cattle and sheep. Livestock is not only a source of food and clothing, but also horses, cattle and sheep are used as "bride money" for marriage. When a person dies, the horse on which the deceased rode is burned for burial. In case of vendetta killing, you can also go out with horses, cows, and sheep to redeem your death. Oxen and sheep were used to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, heaven and earth, sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and 'those who had a good name for the ancestors' (former leaders with a great name), and burned them all.

At the same time, horses, cattle, sheep and leather goods were also used as tribute to the Han court or mutual markets. Hunting is also Wu Huan's strength. Tigers, leopards, and mink skins were all important items in the customs trade.

However, cattle and horses and other livestock are mainly traded with each other. The trading volume is quite large. In addition to the "fine gold and good iron", there are also daily necessities and luxury items. Such as grain, cloth, silk, stepping, reel, etc. and other "treasures".

That is to say, the mutual market is a necessity for survival for Wuhuan in the three counties. Among them, the horse trade is the most important.

There are only four counties left in Beiping County, and the people's livelihood is withering, and there is no money left. And there are often Xianbei raiding south. The horse market is rarely visited. One trades off the other. Therefore, the Wuhuan of the right Beiping is the weakest of the Wuhuan of the three counties.

Liu Bei's visit can be called a gospel.

If you can sell the tribal cattle and horses to Zhuo County. The Wuhuan tribe's wealth and goods are widely entered, and they can be widely accepted to return to the Hu people in the south...... Not only does life not have to be so hard, but your strength can also grow!

Why not?

Thinking through everything, Liu Bei said: "What the king thinks, I already know everything." Truth be told, this time it's just for my own use. If you come again next time, you will definitely sell horses to the south, and how about selling them in the Benhou fiefdom? ”

"Is that true?" 'King Khanlu' Uyan suddenly straightened up. Liu Bei was a prince who split the earth, and the prosperity in the city was prosperous, and the Hu people had also heard of it.

"Recruit Liu Bei, a promise!" Liu Bei smiled arrogantly.

"Good, good, good!" Uyan was overjoyed.

The difference between a sub-envelope and a reward envelope is that there is no limit to the number of households in the sub-envelope, while the number of households is limited to the reward envelope. For example, most of the Duting Marquis who were rewarded for their merits 'ate 200 households'. However, Liu Bei's Lucheng Pavilion Marquis is not limited to the number of households. In this way, we can gather 20,000 fiefdoms!

The sub-seal is mostly used for the Han clan relatives. The reward is for the meritorious officer.

Looking at the laughing Wuhuan King opposite with a smile, Liu Bei had an unreal trance. 'Recruit Liu Bei' with just these four words, can you succeed?

In other words, in this era, reputation is really important.

Zhang Shiping has empty mouths and white teeth, and he can bring Gunma on credit from Hu Shang, not to mention the door-to-door delivery, but also a 20% discount. In this way, my reputation is really loud.

There is one more thing, which can also be proved.

Baume & Mercier can get a 5% discount. 'Recruiting Liu Bei' can also be discounted!

Well, not bad. Is this an achievement unlocked?

For the sake of a long-term plan, he will never be greedy for Liu Bei's golden cake. Liu Bei, who has become a distinguished guest of Wuhuan, generously said goodbye and left. Still led by the middle-aged Confucian scholar, he rested in the tent specially prepared for distinguished guests.

declined the orchid attendant, and Liu Bei fell asleep without mentioning it.

The white soldiers were scattered around the tent, guarding all night.

When it was dawn, there were cries outside the tent. When I woke up and asked, it turned out that Huang Gai was competing with the Wuhuan marksman.

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, famous in history, are thousands of enemies. Even if he is a famous rider in the world, he has nothing to fear. War horses gallop back and forth, people and horses like dragons. Huang Gaila bows and arrows, the arrows are like meteors, and they hit every shot. There was a burst of cheers.

In this era, brave men are always admired.

Take a look at the bill. I saw that the horse on which Huang Gai was riding, was red and yellow, and the tail of the mane (long hair on the neck) was black, which was very majestic.

It is a famous horse: 騧骝 (guā liú). 騧: Yellow horse and black mouth. 骝: Naked black hyena.

Cheng Pu, who is on a par with him, has a blue-bodied Liwen (blue-black veined) black hyena in his crotch, which is a famous horse: Qilu (qí liú).

These two horses are a hybrid of Wuhuan horses and Dawan horses. Strong endurance and good at sprinting. The best choice for heavy cavalry.

With these two horses alone, the valuation far exceeds the gold cake that Liu Bei carried!

Early in the morning, he was brought by the Wuhuan herdsman. Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were overjoyed to see it, so they took a test ride. Only then did he have the test shooting technique with the Wuhuan Turf Cavalry.

It shows the sincerity of King Wuhuan.

In addition to the two horses, there were two hundred war horses.

So much?

Liu Bei couldn't help but be speechless.

The middle-aged Confucian said with a smile: "King Khan Lu" is grateful to the young prince and marquis who came thousands of miles and has many gifts. Next time, it will be at the market price.

I see. The first time is a friendship price. If you trade it later, it will be the market price.

But here's the problem. Liu Bei has few people, how can he drive two hundred horses to Pingbo Shuiqi?

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged Confucian scholar had a plan: the king will send the royal sister Wulian with a hundred horsemen to travel all the way. Escort the young prince and marquis back to the fiefdom safely.

Seeing Liu Bei nodding, the middle-aged Confucian said again: The king also said that Wang Mei is young, so there is nothing more to do. Please take care of the young prince and marquis and protect him from the side. Help her to handle Lou Sang's full authority and mutual market matters.

I see.

I am afraid that Liu Bei is a one-shot deal, and he will never get along with each other from now on. Therefore, you must send the most trusted person to accompany you all the way, and stay in Lousang. Supervise the implementation of Liu Bei's promise to the mutual market between the two sides.

What's so hard about that?

The various parties who live in seclusion in Lousang are sacred, isn't there enough?

Take it back with you!

Wait a minute...... There are also a hundred assault riders......
