At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Liu Zhang gave Ma Chao the right to choose. If Ma Chao was unwilling, he could not publicly agree to the matter.

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to seek his opinion.

After looking at Han Sui's body and Cheng Gongying's pleading eyes, Ma Chao finally made a decision.

"My lord, Han Sui was beheaded by the last general himself, and he understands hatred. As for how to deal with Han Sui's body, the last general has no opinion."

"Let's fulfill Mr. Cheng's wish!"

After Cheng Gongying has been loyal to the new master, he still does not forget the kindness of the old master, which also makes Ma Chao sincerely admire.

Ma Chao had no objection, and Liu Zhang even had no objection, and ordered immediately.

"Ziyi, send someone to collect Han Sui's body."

"The general obeys orders!"

The soldiers of the Wu Feng Battalion moved very quickly, and everything was cleaned up in just a moment.

Liu Zhang was finally able to lead the crowd and set foot on the road back to Yuzhong.

Although the sky was extremely dark, Liu Zhang seemed to see a ray of light because of the joy in his heart.

Surrounded by the crowd, Liu Zhang walked slowly, and was soon attracted by Ma Chao's war horse.

Sha Lifei was tall and mighty, and Ma Chao sat on the horse, taller than Liu Zhang by a head!

"Meng Qi, where did you get your horse?"

Ma Chao tensed up, and looked at Liu Zhang warily.

For generals, the most important thing is to have a BMW.

If Liu Zhang asks for it by force, it will be as uncomfortable as killing him for Ma Chao.

Seeing Ma Chao's vigilant expression, Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing.

"Meng Qi don't need to worry, if a gentleman doesn't take away people's love, he won't be greedy for your war horse!"

Ma Chao scratched his head in embarrassment, but immediately relaxed.

"My lord, this horse is the top warhorse of the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions. My father took a lot of effort to get it."

"Shalifei is the top existence even in the entire Western Region, known as the second prince of Mazhong!"

Liu Zhang immediately became interested. There will be no shortage of war horses in the future, but war horses of Shalifei's level are still rare.

If each of the generals under his command can get such a war horse, his combat power will definitely be improved to a higher level!

"Is there another big prince? Where is it?"

Ma Chao was not surprised, he had expected Liu Zhang to ask such a question.

"My lord, you should also know the eldest prince, the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu sat on."

"Red Rabbit!"

Liu Zhang exclaimed, then nodded slightly.

Indeed, only the red rabbit horse can compete with Sha Lifei under Ma Chao's crotch.

But Liu Zhang didn't think Sha Lifei was too old, and Chituma was at least ten years old.

"Meng Qi, I remember that Dong Zhuo gifted the Chitu horse to Lv Bu eleven years ago. Now that Lv Bu died in battle, I heard that this horse is in the hands of Cao Cao."

"Could it be that your Shalifei has been around for more than ten years?"

Ma Chao shook his head with a smile, with a smug look in his eyes.

"My lord, this last horse is only five years old, much younger than the Chitu horse!"

"That's it..."

Liu Zhang originally thought that Chituma and Shalifei were products of the same period, but he did not expect that there was such a difference of so many years.

"How did Meng Qi get this horse?"

"When Dong Zhuo got the red rabbit, I happened to see it. But due to Dong Zhuo's military strength, I didn't dare to snatch it, so I found the merchant who specializes in red rabbits."

"But the businessman told me that the Chitu was born by the Horse King of the Western Regions, and there is only one! It is very difficult to find an equal or slightly worse horse."

Ma Chao gently stroked Sha Lifei's mane, with a trace of joy in his eyes.

"It just so happens that the Horse King of the Western Regions gave birth to another war horse seven years ago, and it is this Sha Lifei."

"This businessman is also very powerful. The war horse is only one year old, and it is not yet an adult. He was transported to Wuwei by him, and he offered a sky-high price of ten thousand taels of gold!"

Liu Zhang couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching, Ma Teng is really willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold!

Seven years ago, that is, the first year of Xingping, 194 AD.

At that time, Liu Zhang was still fighting the barbarians in Nanzhong. Unexpectedly, Ma Teng would spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy war horses!

At that time, he had just experienced the joint sneak attack by Liu Biao, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, and it was because of Jingzhou Liu Biao's compensation that he had the money and food to quell the Nanzhong Rebellion.

"Meng Qi, I remember that your father and son and Han Sui jointly marched to attack Yangping Pass and lost many soldiers, right?"

Liu Zhang couldn't help sighing in his heart, Ma Teng is too rich!

That's ten thousand taels of gold!

Even if he put the horse in front of Liu Zhang at that time, he couldn't bear to spend tens of thousands of dollars on the horse.

Ma Chao blushed and lowered his head in shame.

"Yes, 40,000 elite soldiers were lost in this battle!"

Thinking of the defeat experience at that time, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of Han Sui again.

"If it wasn't for Han Sui's treachery at that time, my father and I would not have almost died! It was also because of the sneak attack by Han Sui that my father's determination to destroy Han Sui was strengthened!"

"At that time, my martial arts skills were not as good as Yan Xing's, so I was in urgent need of a powerful BMW. It happened that the businessman came with Sha Lifei. After my strong pleading, my father bought this horse for me!"

Only then did Liu Zhang know that Ma Chao didn't even know that Zhang Song planned Han and Ma's cannibalism!

Now that Han Sui is dead, there is no need for Liu Zhang to explain.

The continuation of this misunderstanding will be the best outcome.

"Can Meng Qi still contact this businessman?"

Ma Chao sighed, then shook his head.

"My lord, since we left six years ago, there has been no news from the merchant."

"But even if you find him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy a horse of this level..."

Liu Zhang nodded slightly, showing a trace of regret.

However, he didn't intend to buy horses of the level of Chitu and Shalifei.

With Liu Zhang's current economic strength, it is impossible to spend hundreds of thousands of gold to buy horses.

With the support of the Chamber of Commerce, Yizhou seems to be very wealthy, but in fact it is in danger of bankruptcy at any time.

Now Liu Zhang has invested more than 150,000 troops in Yizhou in Liangzhou. Although the casualties in the successive battles were huge, the total number of troops still exceeded 100,000 including the newly attached Liangzhou troops.

The daily consumption of one hundred thousand troops is astronomical!

Han Sui was destroyed, Ma Teng returned, and Yongliang would be pacified immediately.

After Yongliang is pacified, a lot of money will definitely be needed for development and recovery.

The subjugation of the Qiang people is also inseparable from the support of money.

At present, there are still more than 100,000 Xianbei troops stationed outside Jieting City, maintaining a deterrent to Hanyang County at all times.

Liu Zhang must not sit idly by, and will definitely need a large number of troops to carry out the crusade.

Therefore, a decisive battle against the Xianbei people also requires a lot of money.

Since all the main forces of the Yongliang Zhuqiangs were wiped out, after the Xianbei people were eliminated, Liu Zhang would have no worries.

Although the land in Guanzhong is fertile and wild, although it is now dilapidated, Liu Zhang is also coveted.

Liu Zhang wanted to seize the time when Cao Cao concentrated his energy on Hebei, and relied on his strong troops to win the entire Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

But sending troops to Guanzhong, in addition to soldiers and horses, is also inseparable from a word of money!
