When? In times of war! Chapter 638: Seventy-Nine-Seven The Source of the War Horse

And Wang Wuluo didn't go, firstly because he didn't want to suffer, and secondly, because he was afraid of any danger.

This goes to Dacaotan, although it is not thousands of miles away, but there are always hundreds of miles, and as Wang Wuluo, he can naturally go by carriage, but he is used to being pampered, and even taking a carriage is uncomfortable.

Moreover, there is a certain risk in going here. So Wang Wuluo didn't plan to go at all, anyway, for him, whether he followed or hid in this Suzhou Acropolis, he could get his share of the credit.

Wang Wuluo, Bai Yiqing, Liu Ruozai and Liu Daqi got together and talked for a while, this is to clarify the command, Bai Yiqing told Liu Daqi everything but listen to Liu Ruozai's orders. As a military general, Liu Daqi naturally only has the share of only promises. After this matter was settled, Bai Yiqing and Wang Wuluo said goodbye and returned to the city, and when the two of them left, Liu Ruozai smiled at Liu Daqi: "Let's go!" ”

Liu Daqi's status is too high after all, although he is now under his command, Liu Ruozai still uses a consultative tone. He knew very well that in the future, he was only afraid that he would have to rely on Liu Daqi's strength, and be polite to him at this time, so as not to deliberately delay him in the future.

Now you are arrogant to others so that you don't take others seriously, and make others hold grudges, but don't blame others for demolishing you when the time comes.

"Yes!"

Liu Daqi also showed great respect to Liu Ruozai, he responded solemnly, and ordered loudly at his subordinates: "Go!" ”

Liu Ruozai's men and Liu Daqi's men converged to form a huge cavalry force of more than 2,000 people, all the way to the direction of Jiayu Pass.

From the official road from Suzhou Wei to Jiayuguan, you can also see a lot of caravans, their itinerary is roughly the same as Dong Ce and others, they all go to Jiayuguan first, and then continue north from Jiayuguan to the territory of the Mongols, where they do business.

Although the Mongols themselves were able to smelt some iron tools, their production was very limited, so they had a great demand for iron tools produced by the Ming Dynasty, as well as for salt.

This is the demand of the average Mongolian herdsman, and the high-ranking nobles, their needs are even more. They all liked gold, silver and jade, silk and satin, and even the beautiful Han dancing girls.

These Mongolian nobles were still very rich, even if they didn't have much cash, but they still had countless cattle, sheep and horses, whether it was cash silver or cattle, sheep and horses, which could be used to exchange goods for Han merchants.

Relatively speaking, even many businessmen are more willing to barter and exchange the luxury goods they bring for those cattle, sheep and horses, after all, after these cattle, sheep and horses are transported to the country, as soon as they change hands, the profits are extremely rich.

The horses, in particular, will bring them a lot of income. After all, horses are so scarce in Kannai that the price is very high.

Along the way, I saw a lot of caravans, speaking of which, it has been a long time since Lin Dan Khan fled to Dacaotan and settled down. And the businessmen's sense of smell is undoubtedly keen, when most people are still hesitant after getting the news, there are already many pioneers, people went to Dacaotan early, their first business was done, and now they have already come back and are preparing to do the second business, and run Dacaotan again!

Those who came back from the steppe brought back something that other merchants coveted, so they also pulled up caravans and went in that direction.

Dong Ce even saw a caravan that was going back, in the opposite direction to himself and the others, this caravan was quite large, there were hundreds of people, in addition to those empty carts, the most eye-catching thing was the extremely large number of cattle, sheep and horses in the caravan. The number of cattle and sheep is no less than a thousand, and the number of horses is more than a hundred.

Now the price of cattle in the customs is very expensive, and Dong Ce has a deep understanding of this. If the merchant in charge had enough patience and did not rush to get rid of it, then it would not be a problem for these cattle to be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Seeing this large number of cavalry coming, the caravan, which had occupied almost half of the official road, hurriedly stepped aside, and the men drove the cattle, sheep and horses, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was endless, which was mixed with cattle and sheep, making the sky full of smoke and dust, and there was a lot of noise.

Dong Ce glanced at those horses and found that there were really a lot of good horses among them, and at least sixty percent of the more than 100 horses were worthy of fighting horses.

He sighed inwardly, and thought of how short of horses he was in Rock Fort now, and he was eager to buy them all. In the area around Fort Rock, he has nowhere to buy it if he has any money.

This time I went to Dacaotan, no matter what, I had to get some good horses back! Dong Ce said secretly in his heart.

After walking forward for a while, Dong Ce suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then saw Liu Daqi coming towards him surrounded by several personal soldiers. Seeing Liu Daqi, Dong Ce had a headache, wouldn't this Mr. Liu come over to ask him about the inside story, right?

It's just that no matter how much headache you have, you can't lose your manners, not to mention, now Liu Daqi is the person Liu Ruozai wants to focus on.

"I've seen the general!" Dong Ce said with a smile.

Liu Daqi naturally didn't know what Dong Ce thought, he glared at Dong Ce: "Still called a general?" It's called Brother Liu! ”

"My Lao Liu is a good talker, you won me by drinking yesterday! I recognize you as a brother! ”

Dong Ce was stunned for a moment, and then quickly changed his words and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, it's a brother who can't speak!" ”

"That's right!" Liu Daqi waved his hand, let the few personal soldiers go to the side, and then rode their horses in parallel with Dong Ce. Dong Ce knew that he had something to say to him when he saw him like this, and he also turned his head to wink, and the family members understood and slowed down their horses. After a short time, the two of them were more than ten meters away from the others, and others would not hear them when they said something.

"Do you see those people?" Liu Daqi suddenly pointed to the cattle, sheep and horses on the side of the road.

Dong Ce didn't know what he meant by asking, so he just nodded: "See." ”

"These horses...... Liu Daqi suddenly sighed, and his voice was slightly lower: "Soon, these horses will become war horses for thieves." ”

Dong Ce was shocked, and he didn't know what he felt in his heart for a moment, he just whispered: "Brother Liu, don't dare to say this, if it spreads, ...... it."

Liu Daqi squinted at him, and suddenly chuckled: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, which one can spread it?" ”

Dong Ce was silent.

In fact, as soon as Liu Daqi said it, he knew that this thing was eighty percent true.

"We have a shortage of yards in the customs, especially the lack of qualified war horses, you know this. People work so hard to do business and risk being killed, for what? Isn't it just about making money? Naturally, whoever pays the highest price will sell it to whomever they want. Now, how many people are richer than thieves? ”

"They have broken through cities and plundered countless amounts, and naturally they can come up with large sums of gold and silver. It is impossible for the imperial court to offer this price, and it is even more impossible for others to offer this price. I'll tell you the truth! Eighty percent of the war horses of the thieves passed from our Suzhou guard. Many people know about this, but you and Lord Liu definitely don't know. "And they have nothing to do with it." Liu Daqi sighed and said, "To be honest, I will do this if I change it, after all, we are here to make money." It is impossible to dedicate all the war horses that you have worked so hard to buy to the imperial court, even if you dedicate them to the imperial court, what benefits can the imperial court give? ”
