"Fifteen gold? The price is very affordable, are you sure you don't want a population? Yan Huang Sharp Blade was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but tease.

Shang Ji's big deal has never left the word population, and it is no wonder that Yan Huang Sharp Blade ridiculed.

"Don't want it, just fifteen gold horses, four hundred thousand horses, do you want it?"

"Yes! With such a good business, how could you not want it? At the price that the general opened, how many of them are all-inclusive! Yan Huang Sharp Blade waved his hand very arrogantly, and took care of it.

Yanhuang's forces are all over the country, but the main base is in Jianwei County. Jianwei County is located in the southern part of Yizhou, roughly at the junction of Yunnan-Guichuan.

You say that the county does not produce horses on a large scale, which is of course not true. The Yunnan horse has always been one of the important strains of Chinese horses, with rough skin and thick meat and excellent endurance.

As a freight horse, the Yunnan horse naturally has the best cost performance in the world, but it is difficult to use it as a charging war horse.

Its short stature, slow sprint speed, and low load capacity all limit its ability to be a cavalry mount.

Therefore, Yan Huang is still in a state of serious lack of war horses in general, with Yan Huang's size, let alone 400,000 war horses, even if it is two or three times, it can be eaten in one bite.

Because of the location, the price of war horses in the Yinan region basically fluctuates around 20 gold, and Shang Ji directly offers 15 gold, which is equivalent to more than 20% off, and the discount is considerable.

"Mr. Wang, I have a request that I hope Mr. Wang can agree on behalf of Yan Huang!"

was happy to pick up a cheap Yanhuang Sharp Blade and was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart, with a wry smile on his face: "I knew that General Shang's cheap is not so easy to earn, what else does the general want, please speak up!"

"I want to recruit 50,000 barbarians in your sphere of influence, hoping to get Yan Huang's permission and assistance!" Shang Ji said with some embarrassment.

If it weren't for the recruitment of brute soldiers, Shang Ji would never give Yan Huang such a big discount, and he would have a nine-percent discount.

As early as the time of Luoyang, Shang Ji exchanged for a special class cheat of [Mountain Barbarian Infantry]. This class is very suitable for mountain warfare, can ignore the complex terrain of the mountains, proficient in archery, concealment, etc., and is very powerful in mountain combat.

However, there is a mandatory requirement for this class, the soldiers must be mountain barbarians!

Originally, Shang Ji didn't care, this special class of mountain barbarian infantry was originally out of the psychology of being prepared, and he made a small backhand, which could not be used in a short period of time.

However, Gongsun Du directly surrendered the city, which caused the Shang Dynasty's sphere of influence to expand a large part to the east, and the frontier line also moved greatly to the east.

Further east, there was the sphere of influence of Goguryeo and Lee's Joseon.

It should be noted that Goguryeo is not a certain country, it is more similar to the subsidiary NPC forces in the Huaxia region such as Nanban and Wuhuan, and players who do not have the corresponding national capital belong to Goguryeo.

The counterpart of the North and South Twin Sticks in the Beacon Fire was the Joseon Dynasty, also known as the Lee Joseon Dynasty. Yes, that's right, the North and the South are one country in the midst of the beacon fire.

Goguryeo was sandwiched between the Huaxia region and the Korean region, and anyone could send troops to attack, and those who won could gain the strategic initiative and pose a strategic threat to the other region.

This situation is very common in the Beacon Fire, and it is clearly intentional by the system.

And there is no such thing as nodules between the various countries and regions in the beacon fire, it is generally only separated by the evil environment such as mountains and jungles, large rivers and ice fields, deserts and seas, as long as you have that ability, you can directly lead the troops to fight over.

In other words, if the Shang Ji has the ability to build a fleet capable of crossing the Pacific, they can now directly send troops to fight the US imperialists. The same goes for other countries!

Returning to the topic of the Korean region, with the surrender of Gongsun Du, Shang Ji must seriously consider the threat of North and South Korea, and in view of the special geographical environment here, Shang Ji also needs to prepare early, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

The Korean Peninsula is a big place, and there are not many other things, but there are many mountains! The large-scale cavalry units on which the Shang Dynasty relied most were not equipped to operate at all, and in order to solve the Korean Peninsula, it was necessary to have an army that was proficient in mountain warfare.

Zhang He's Phantom Pawn of a Hundred Battles had the characteristics of ignoring the terrain and geographical advantages, and could be said to be a sharp blade against Lee's Korea, but a single army was somewhat powerless, and Shang Ji turned his attention to the mountain barbarian infantry.

Shang Ji's strategic plan was very simple, to the west and Lu Bu to join forces to kill Xianbei; Annexed Goguryeo to the east, emulated what Gongsun Du did in history, set up Obibang County, eliminated all threats around him, and created an absolutely safe rear. After that, he cultivated his internal strength, watched the general trend of the world, and pursued the Central Plains when he had the opportunity, and continued to cultivate and recuperate if he didn't have the opportunity.

If it is possible, lead the troops to destroy Lee's Korea, capture the Korean Peninsula, and completely stabilize the rear.

Of course, this is slightly more difficult and may need to be distributed.

The strength of Lee's Joseon is not worth mentioning, and it is not as good as a state in Han on the whole, and the capital of North Korea, Seoul, is only a king-level city under the national capital bonus, and there are only four giant city-level cities in the territory, including Kaesong, Pyongyang, Hamhung, and Jeonju. There are five more giant cities in Pingzhou!

In addition, although it is also a historical area, the number of historical famous generals of Lee's Joseon is pitiful, not even one-tenth of Huaxia District. The top S-level generals can be counted on both hands. Excluding the influence of players, the strength of Pyongju is above that of Lee's Joseon!

But North and South Korea have a combined total of nearly 20 million active players.

The Korean Peninsula is a small country, but the total population is as high as 76 million, and North Korea is a special situation in which its mobilization capacity is second only to that of China. More than a million active troops, eight million reserves. South Korea is slightly worse, only 750,000 active duty, 4.5 million reserves, but people are forced to serve in the military, and there are 3.5 million civil defense forces (Baidu data), even if only one-fifth of the army is stationed in Fenghuo, it is really impossible to fight desperately!

In addition, if the beacon fire is really as Yan Huang Sharp Blade said, it can directly determine the rise and fall of a country, and it is really urgent for the North and South Koreas to forcibly mobilize more than 10 million player armies, unless Shang Ji ignores his nest and pours out of the nest, otherwise there is no chance of winning!

Although the internal fighting between the two Koreas was serious, Shang Ji did not dare to guarantee that after he led his troops to fight over, they would not reconcile under external pressure and unite with the outside world.

Of course, it is still a little too early to consider this, and the immediate priority is to recruit at least 50,000 mountain barbarian infantry through Yan Huang's assistance. With the mountain barbarian infantry and the phantom pawns of a hundred battles as the core, supplemented by a small number of elite cavalry, plus other elite infantry, solve Goguryeo!

However, because of the Wuhuan Jingqi incident before, Shang Ji made a small pit for Yan Huang, if today's reincarnation is good, retribution comes too quickly, of course, you have to put your attitude first.

Giving a preferential price for war horses is a subtle expression of sincerity!

"Hahaha, General Shang, you want to recruit mountain barbarians? Am I also asking for three civilians for every mountain barbarian recruited? Yan Huang Sharp Blade immediately laughed when he heard this, and a feeling of raising his eyebrows and exhaling rose slowly.

Shang Ji's face suddenly froze, and he stayed there a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, general, I'm kidding." Seeing that Shang Ji's face was a little ugly, Yan Huang Sharp Blade held back a smile and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.

"We also understand the situation here of the general, and immigrating to the real side has always been what we have to do, and of course we will not make it difficult for the general. In this way, on the basis of 400,000 yuan, every time the general sells us an additional war horse, we will assist the general to recruit a mountain barbarian as a soldier, what does the general think of this condition? ”

"Whew!" Shang Ji let out a sigh, Yan Huang's mind was still very good, and he didn't care about the little mustard before.

"Good! What Yan Huang did made Ji embarrassed, so let's sell an additional 100,000 war horses, you can help me recruit 50,000 mountain barbarians first, and the remaining 50,000 places will be used when I need them, is this okay? ”

"Absolutely! Why don't we take advantage of the institution to build a trade alliance? Yan Huang Blade first decisively agreed, and then suddenly proposed.

"Trade allies? How do you say that? Shang Ji suddenly became interested, and asked intently.

"General Shang, you see, your Pingzhou is rich in horses, cattle and sheep, and a large number of animal skins. At the same time, there are also many high-grade wood, stone, iron ore, medicinal materials, etc. And our main base in Yinan is rich in tea, jade, silk, fine wine, etc. Pingzhou and Yanhuang can just be mutually beneficial and complement each other's advantages. ”

"By the way, once the Trade Alliance is formed, we can sell our unique rattan armor, bamboo armor, and other equipment that is perfect for use in the mountain environment, such as the Shang General. If the general allows, we implore the general to release the restrictions on the sale of high-yield varieties such as pearl rice and raw rice, so that the two sides can complement each other's advantages and work together! ”

As soon as Yanhuang Sharp Blade said this, Shang Ji found that Yanhuang and Pingzhou, the southeast and northwest, were really complementary.

"We signed an agreement to ensure the safety of the other party's caravan within our own forces and to protect the corresponding legitimate rights and interests. Partial tax reductions and exemptions provide convenient terms of trade, and even a certain degree of intelligence sharing can be carried out to jointly maintain the balance and stability of the Huaxia region. Seeing that Shang Ji seemed to be very interested, Yan Huang Sharp Blade said while the iron was hot.

"Wait, wait, I agree with what you said in principle, but you can go to Pingzhou to discuss the specific details."

Seeing that Yan Huang Sharp Blade was talking more and more, Shang Ji decisively interrupted him. It is good to lead the army to fight the merchants, but if this kind of trade agreement is negotiated by the merchants in person, it will definitely be lost in all the pants.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and Shang Ji directly acts as the shopkeeper, and hands over these troublesome things to Deng Yan to deal with.

Yan Huang Sharp Blade also seemed to know that Shang Ji was in a state of managing the army and not being in government, so he was not surprised by this. In fact, when the detailed trade alliance treaty was really discussed, Yan Huang Sharp Blade would not be on the scene in person, but would be handed over to the professionals who came with him to solve it.

In the next three days, Deng Yan put down his government affairs and formed a joint negotiation team with Yangyi, Xun Yu, and Yan Xian, and Deng Yan didn't know what means he used, and pulled Xi Zhicai, who accompanied Rong Luoluo to the wedding and had not returned, into the negotiation team, and repeatedly discussed the relevant trade details with the five experts of Yan Huang.

Yan Huang obviously came prepared, and had already prepared the outline of the negotiation and the detailed provisions, and also brought a list of goods that Yan Huang could provide, acting as a salesman.

Yan Huang's professional quality naturally does not need to be questioned, but the three S-level top scribes on the Shang side are not vegetarians. At first, you may be a little flustered because you are not familiar with the rules and are caught off guard.

But after understanding the essence of the trade, the five of them were so powerful that they refuted the Yan Huang negotiators step by step. The fierce killing between the square inches of the negotiating table is unusual.

On the contrary, Yan Huang Sharp Blade and Shang Ji became spectators, wandering around, listening to the general negotiation process, and waiting for the final result.

After a period of fierce probing (tearing) and negotiation (force), the detailed trade regulations were finally decided. Including the specific responsibilities and obligations of the two parties, as well as the rights they have, Chen Guan finally came forward to discuss the details of intelligence sharing with Yan Huang's intelligence officers.

In the end, the two sides also reached a huge trade order with a total value of up to 180 million gold, including timber, pills, medicinal materials, silk, books, tea, jade, minerals, grain, fine wine, furs, horses, improved breeds, weapons and armor, ships, large siege equipment and other aspects of people's livelihood and military.

Of course, this is still a trade order for the time being, and even if all goes well, it would be a blessing that all the trade will be closed before the end of the year!

According to Deng Yan's rough estimate, if the trade can be successfully completed, including taxes, Pingzhou will make a profit of more than 60 million gold!

The profit is so high because many of the goods provided by Pingzhou are zero-cost, such as war horses, cattle and sheep, etc., which are all robbed by merchants; The main cost of ore and timber lies in manpower, and Pingzhou has nearly a million high-quality free prisoners of war.

In addition, there are the seeds of the four types of rice that Yan Huang has repeatedly emphasized, and the high-yield varieties are proper high-tech products even in the real world, let alone in the beacon fire.

Seeds are sold at a high price, but the actual cost is low.

What's more, this seed can only be planted once, after which it will degrade rapidly. In other words, Yan Huang has to buy seeds again every year!

The breeding and sale of improved varieties will be a cash cow in Pingzhou, and the value of the herb garden and the children of the farmers has just begun to be reflected!

The same is true for large-scale conventional siege equipment, among the current princes in various places, only Shang Ji has complete production capacity, and the public losers have contributed a lot in this regard.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this is also applicable in the beacon fire!

"General Shang, happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

Shang Ji and Yan Huang Sharp Blade signed on the trade alliance document respectively, representing the formal establishment of the business alliance between the two parties, and the relationship between the two sides has also been further improved, and the foundation of mutual trust has been achieved.

"By the way, General, you have been promoted to the top general, please pay more attention to that Hole Void skill!"

Before leaving, Yan Huang Sharp Blade suddenly smiled mysteriously and said to Shang Ji.

Shang Ji was shocked in his heart, Dong Xuan was an exclusive skill for the top military generals of the Inhumans who was rewarded when he advanced to a top general, how could Yan Huang know? Could it be that there are also top generals among Yanhuang?

"No, the system clearly states that he is the first player to advance to the top general!" Shang Ji immediately ruled out this possibility, and had the intention to stop Yan Huang Sharp Blade to ask carefully, but saw that Yan Huang Sharp Blade had already taken people away.

With a long sigh, he put the messy thoughts in his heart behind for a while, and turned around and returned to the City Lord's Mansion. ，
