Chapter 504: Crazy Deal

Knowing that behind these people, it must be the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao fiercely suppressed the price, he knew very well what the Northern Song Dynasty wanted, if he was a pawn to accomplish this purpose, he must get enough benefits.

Yuan Hao is very clear that in the current situation, he has lost most of his territory, and he has made a big fuss in Liao, but also to strengthen himself, only with enough strength can he gain a foothold in the Three Kingdoms, and he said unceremoniously that now for him, what strategic issues do not need to be considered, the first thing to consider is survival.

The lost Iron Harrier, as well as the elite troops of Western Xia, there was only one Yuan Hao left in Suzhou at that time, which was almost weak to an extreme, which was also the fundamental reason why Yuan Hao immediately cleared the local forces after arriving in Suzhou.

Relying on the strong guards, he directly made Suzhou bleed, and Yuan Hao used the most extreme method to take control of Suzhou.

In this way, a lot of time was saved, allowing Yuan Hao to quickly grasp the real power of Suzhou, but the potential of Suzhou has been consumed, and the power he can control and manipulate has been reduced by at least more than 50% compared to the premise of stability.

This is also the real reason why Yuan Hao had to jump out of Suzhou and find a way, although Suzhou is remote, but once the Liao State gains a firm foothold in Western Xia, even if it is a partial division, he can destroy him, which is also the place that Yuan Hao is most afraid of at present.

In this era, strength is fundamental, without strength, he can't enjoy treatment at all, he can only grab as much as possible, grab a lot of livestock, and a lot of wealth, but there are not many who can really improve combat effectiveness.

With the current situation of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Hao must ensure more than 10,000 elite heavy cavalry in order to have the power to protect himself, if he wants to go further, or even restore his former glory, what is needed is more.

There is no smelting foundation in Western Xia, and the iron harriers accumulated before were accumulated in years of war and search accumulation, and in this way, every iron harrier is basically passed down from father to son, because there is only one set of battle armor, and without war armor, there is no way to become an iron harrier.

Under the attrition of the battlefield, the absolute number of iron harriers has always decreased, and only in the war, grabbing more things, can it continue to expand.

The Western Xia in the land of the five states, it took so long to accumulate tens of thousands, and it was very small to produce it by itself, most of them were grabbed, and now it has lost the essence of the four states, and if you want to recover, you don't know how many years.

The purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao was very clear, it was nothing more than to disturb the entire Liao State, make the Liao State suffer greater losses, and in addition, obtain enough profits.

Hurt the Liao State as much as possible, this is what Yuan Hao is doing now, but on this basis, it is just a step further, for Yuan Hao, as long as there are enough interests, he can do anything.

Then, another issue is the price.

As for the price of the step armor, this Xixia used to buy, almost no set, and it is impossible to judge its price, but the armor of the iron harrier has a price in the Western Xia, almost a set is between 150 and 200 guan.

Of course, Yuan Hao wants to settle with copper coins, of course, the price of the iron harrier, 200 guan, this money is a lot, at the price of the step people's armor, about 30 guan, plus the price of the vest, it is only about 60 guan, almost three times the profit.

However, the intelligence personnel who have a very in-depth understanding of Yuan Hao know very well that Yuan Hao currently has a large amount of gold and silver in his hands, which is the easiest, but they want to get more, for example, the most important horse in Yuan Hao's hands, especially the war horse.

Of course, the Northern Song Dynasty will not open its mouth and ask for more than a lot of prices, but according to the price of Liao and Western Xia, it will directly obtain a war horse with a price of 200 yuan, which is almost 20 horses, including at least 6 horses.

Most of the grasslands were ransacked, especially the entire Khitan tribe was cleared, and hundreds of thousands, or even millions, were obtained.

The price of 20 horses in Liao is about 60 guan, and 6 horses will not exceed 120 guan, and the total is only 180 guan, which is not the largest number.

If you were someone else, you might agree to the deal, and take the less important resources in your hand in exchange for the most urgently needed resources, and this exchange is really okay.

Yuan Hao is not only familiar with the situation of the Liao Kingdom, but also familiar with the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is very clear that in the Northern Song Dynasty, a horse is as high as 100 times, and two ordinary horses can be exchanged for such a battle armor, which is equivalent to saying that the payment has been reduced by 10 times, and the most important thing is that Yuan Hao also feels that he has acted as a pawn of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he should get some more benefits, and halving is the best.

A horse in exchange for a heavy cavalry armor, this is the price given by Yuan Hao, from the price, the Northern Song Dynasty is not a loss, and there is a little profit, this batch of things must be given to Yuan Hao, this is a plan set by Jia Chaochang, which cannot be modified.

Asking for a price all over the sky, sitting on the ground and paying back, this is the current state, Yuan Hao doesn't want to give more, and the Northern Song Dynasty wants to get more.

However, Yuan Hao, who saw through everything, still took the lead, and soon, the two sides reached a simple consensus, not like Yuan Hao, a horse for a set of armor, such armor is too cheap, but it is not the original number.

1 set of armor for 4 horses, one of which must be horses, and at the same time, a set of armor needs to pay about 60 pieces of gold and silver.

Money, for Yuan Hao, except for rewards, there is no other use, this accident, Yuan Hao's increased strength, but completely offended the Liao State, it is conceivable that his money will not be drawn.

Although it is said that the Northern Song Dynasty may be able to have some support, but under the isolation of the Liao State, if you want to trade with the Northern Song Dynasty, you have to cross at least thousands of miles, and almost speaking, money has little effect.

20,000 sets, in terms of pure money, is 1.2 million guan, with gold, less than 10,000 catties, silver is only 100,000 catties, not a big number, really more horses, even if each set for 4 horses, the total number is almost 80,000 horses, to send away, it takes a lot of time.

These are not the problems that Yuan Hao has to consider, he just needs to get those armors.

Perhaps when he was still the king of Western Xia, Yuan Hao would not choose to weaken the Liao State too much, and even make the Liao State lose its strength to compete with the Northern Song Dynasty.

But now, if he chooses between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao will inevitably choose the Northern Song Dynasty, for the simple reason that the Northern Song Dynasty is not aggressive.

In this way, before God knew it, the deal was completed, and as for 80,000 horses, it was a big goal, and it took a lot of effort to get these things back.

The final solution is still born from Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao's 10,000 people can crisscross the grasslands of the Liao Kingdom, and the elite of the Northern Song Dynasty is not impossible.

From the entire frontier, about 8,000 elite troops were transferred, all of whom were elites on horseback, and many of them had experience in herding.

These people, who ventured into the hinterland of the Liao State, and were heavily armed, quickly made a deal with Yuan Hao, and then took charge of 10 horses by one person and left quickly.

At that time, the encirclement of the Liao State had not yet come, and there was no problem with the Liao State, which was already like a sieve and let Yuan Hao break through, to find a way to send these horses to the Northern Song Dynasty.

To tell the truth, Yuan Hao himself did not report any kindness, if the power of the Northern Song Dynasty in the past was too weak, he might have to eat everything, he had already offended the Liao State, and the Northern Song Dynasty was about the same, and he didn't care about offending one more.

However, the fully armed 8,000 heavy cavalry dispelled his thoughts, and said unceremoniously that before the heavy cavalry armor, Yuan Hao did not have the courage to confront the heavy cavalry, even if he could kill these 8,000 people, he would suffer heavy losses, and the family wealth he had just accumulated was so destroyed, which was definitely not his first purpose.

Backed by strength, the two sides finally completed the transaction smoothly, both sides took what they needed, and the Privy Council obtained enough profits, 80,000 horses, including 20,000 horses, and 1.2 million yuan, these are hard currency, even if it is used to purchase new equipment, money alone can buy most of it, not to mention 80,000 horses, except for some necessary expenses, it is definitely a big profit.

It took 8,000 heavy rides, and it was safe, and there was no need to travel day and night, and there was no need to detour, just choose the right position to chisel through, and choose the nearest road, at most five or six hundred miles away, and it may be fast, and it will be back in a day or two.

There will be more dreams when the night is long, and if you really encounter accidents and blockages, it's good to kill them directly, as for the consequences after you kill them, those are not the problems that the Northern Song Dynasty needs to consider, this pot, of course, is carried by Yuan Hao.

I didn't tell Yuan Hao about this, even if he did, he didn't itch a lot of lice, and he had beaten the territory of Liao to the bottom, and he was afraid of carrying such a black pot.

After paying a huge price, but the harvest is still not small, he has seen the samples of those cavalry armor, and he is very satisfied, when he gets the equipment in large quantities, as far as normal thinking is concerned, it will also be lowered by a grade, who knows, every time it is reduced, this is an unexpected surprise.

In fact, this batch of equipment, all of which were modified and replaced by the forbidden army, these things that should have been rebuilt can create profits, and the work of transformation is not difficult for skilled craftsmen, although this transaction is not as good as the Lingzhou Peace Conference, it is almost Liaoxingzong hot-headed, but the profit is still not low.

And it only took a short time, and the back and forth added up to four or five days to complete an invasion of the territory of Liao, which was an adventure for the Northern Song Dynasty, but after the adventure was successful, it was a rich benefit.

Yuan Hao is also acceptable, he even proposed that he wanted more equipment, this rude request, of course, was refused, Yuan Hao didn't care, it was good to be able to get 20,000 sets, no matter how much, he didn't have so many soldiers to equip it.

That's it, in the hinterland of Liao, Yuan Hao formed 20,000 elite cavalry with the help of recitation, maybe this elite soldier, compared to the iron harrier, is a little inferior in experience and combat effectiveness, but whether it is a war horse or armor, it is better than the original, and even in terms of personnel, it is more refined, and this part of the strength is cultivated by Yuan Hao, and the combat effectiveness will be very amazing.

Yuan Hao's wrist is very powerful, even if it is Suzhou, which kills rivers of blood, it is under his wrist, in a short period of time, it is controlled, and it has become a place where he can use it.

Yuan Hao himself is the idol of the young party members, with strong strength and unparalleled military strength, such a personality charm is easy to influence people, in addition to means and killing, among the team of more than 40,000 people, it is no problem to select 20,000 elites.

These people are not specially trained, but they are all young people, and they have grown up in the bow and horses since they were children, and after more than half a year of killing, it can be said that directly in the most tragic slaughter, this group of people who came out, with the blessing of these heavy cavalry armor, can almost be seen to enhance their combat effectiveness.

The deal with the Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to 20,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor and 20,000 elite heavy cavalry, also got the news of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In order to let Yuan Hao and Liao Xingzong fight to lose both, the Northern Song Dynasty provided some information in addition to trading with Yuan Hao.

After the fall of Yuan Hao in Western Xia, the biggest loss was actually this information, he had been as careful as possible, and he judged the current strategic form by virtue of his own strength, but he could control things between 500 miles at most, and he couldn't touch it farther.

The arrival of the Northern Song Dynasty made up for a point, in addition to reminding him that his whereabouts had been exposed, not only in the hinterland of Liao, a large army had been prepared to encircle and suppress, and even in the distant Western Xia, Liao Xingzong had also returned.

Smart Yuan Hao, you don't need to understand too much at all, there are some things, just stop at the point, it's okay, why did Liao Xingzong come back, isn't it just for him, before the change, when there was no heavy cavalry equipment, Yuan Hao must have run as far as he wanted, and the army that followed Yuan Hao and went to fight in Western Xia was definitely the most elite army in the entire Liao State, but now, it seems that there is a little opportunity.

Yuan Hao continued to kill, while waiting for the return of Liao Xingzong, of course, the horses are all over the place, and the vast grassland will become his battlefield, and he must do a good job of intelligence reconnaissance on the battlefield.

Before Liao Xingzong returned, the army mobilized from the center of the Liao State had arrived on the grassland, when he got the news, Yuan Hao was not surprised at all, he didn't wait for the main force to return, obviously he didn't put him in his eyes, even if it was before, there were no 20,000 sets of armor, he would work hard, and now, even more.
