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

"Six hundred stone?"

Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.

This Jiang Wan was too "generous", and sold it to Liu Bei at a cheap price of six hundred shi.

"It seems that Liu Bei's life in Jingnan was hard enough..."

If the transaction partner is not Liu Bei, then there is absolutely no problem with the exchange of 2,000 war horses for 1.2 million stones of grain and grass.

Without paying any price, I got 1.2 million stones of grain and grass for nothing. Who wouldn't want it?

These food and grass are at least enough for the Eastern Army for a few years, and can even be used for the Eastern Army to conquer Jingzhou in the future!

At that time, Liu Zhang can openly shout to Liu Bei that all the rations of the army are completely provided by Liu Bei!

Regardless of the situation of the battle, Liu Bei should be pissed off first!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's mood instantly improved.

If it is the only depressing place, that is, the price has been killed from the initial five thousand stones to six hundred stones.

I am afraid that the person negotiating with Jiang Wan is a master, maybe Zhuge Liang himself did it...

After much deliberation, Liu Zhang decided to accept the result gladly.

Even if Liu Bei is a fool, Zhuge Liang cannot be a fool!

It was really not easy for Jiang Wan to extract more than one million stones of grain and grass from their mouths.

Just when Liu Zhang had already approved the price, Xun You's chuckle came from his ear.

"Duke Qin, you misunderstood."

Liu Zhang couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then said in astonishment,

"Could it be sixty stones a horse?"

"Could it be that Jiang Wan is a spy sent by Liu Bei?"

If this is the case, Liu Zhang would rather hear that Jiang Wan stole all the horses and gave them to Liu Bei for nothing.

"Hahaha, Mr. Qin misunderstood!"

Xun You couldn't help but chuckle at Liu Zhang's brain hole, this kind of thinking jump is really amazing.

"Jiang Zhizhong is not a spy, this time he tricked Liu Bei hard!"

"Two thousand war horses, six million stones of grain and grass were sold!"

"what!"

Liu Zhang exclaimed and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Six million stones? This Liu Bei is really willing!"

If he hadn't heard the news from Xun You, Liu Zhang really couldn't believe it.

Liu Bei knew that Cai Mao bought it for 500 shi for a horse, yet he was willing to pay 3,000 shi for a horse.

In addition to being rich and powerful, Liu Zhang can only think that Liu Bei has been taken advantage of!

For Liu Zhang, earning six million shi from Liu Bei was more exciting than earning 10 million shi from Cai Mao.

"Hahaha, as expected of Gong Yan, I have lived up to Gu's trust in him!"

Liu Zhang yelled in his heart, and almost lost his mind with excitement!

Xun You gave Liu Zhang a strange look. He never understood why Liu Zhang was always so happy when he heard that Liu Bei was deflated.

"Duke Qin, Jiang Wan has made a lot of contributions to Liu Bei's six million shi food and grass this time, but Cai Hao owes more to it!"

"Oh? General Cai finally played a role?"

Liu Zhang couldn't help joking, he knew that Liu Bei would not be willing to take money out of his pocket!

"That's right! Cai Mao led his 20,000 troops to show off in Nanjun all day long, and once even rushed to Jiangling city!"

"Liu Bei has been disheartened recently, and he doesn't dare to compete with Cai Mao at all."

"Probably because of this stimulation, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and bought two thousand war horses!"

It's really unintentional!

Unexpectedly, a Jingzhou would give Duke Qin 16 million stones, grain and grass one after another!

Liu Zhang also had to lament that Jingzhou is rich!

It is indeed a land of fish and rice, and the food output is really amazing.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang felt a little pity again.

"This Cai Hao is still trash, and Liu Bei hasn't been stimulated much by looking at him alone!"

"What can three thousand war horses do? At least five thousand must be collected!"

Xun You kept complaining in his heart, did he really take Liu Bei as the boss?

Not to mention whether Liu Bei can take out another six million stones, I am afraid that even if he can take it out, he will be completely bankrupt.

The Jingnan Group is now desperately recruiting soldiers, how can Liu Bei use all the food and grass to buy horses.

"Duke Qin, six million stones is a lot!"

"Liu Bei is treacherous, Zhuge Liang is cunning, we should not underestimate them."

Liu Zhang nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Cai Mao is an idiot, he really dares to show off his power like this?"

"I guess it won't be long before the 20,000 cavalry will be lost in his hands!"

It is more than 500 li from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and it would take a day and night for the cavalry to rush to attack.

Even Liu Zhang led Wufeng Battalion, he would not dare to go deep into the enemy's territory so blatantly.

Now that Liu Bei has 3,000 horses, he will get 3,000 cavalry in a short time.

Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu, as a military adviser, is very easy to suffer a big loss when he is mentally calculating but unintentionally prepared and unprepared.

Especially with the success of showing off his power last time, maybe Cai Mao will continue to fall ill and do such meaningless things.

Xun You felt very reasonable when he heard it, and quickly suggested it to Liu Zhang.

"Qin Gong, do you want to send someone to remind Cai Mao?"

Liu Zhang waved his hand and showed a sneer.

"No need, let them fight among themselves!"

"The power of the Jingzhou family is far more than that, let Liu Bei consume more for us!"

"For the sake of being alone in Jingxiang in the future, these war horses are worth the price!"

Historically, when Liu Bei occupied the five counties of Jingxiang, he was still forced to compromise with the aristocratic family, and his military strength also relied mostly on the aristocratic family.

Especially after Guan Yu took charge of Jingzhou, the Jingzhou navy headed by the Huang family had a high degree of autonomy.

There are similarities between Jiangxia Huang's navy and Yan Yan's 10,000 army, both of which are private soldiers.

However, the two are also fundamentally different. The status of the family affects the situation of the army under the respective monarchs.

The Yan family that Yan Yan belongs to is just a top family in the county, and it is completely incomparable with the Huang family that dominates Jingzhou.

This is also the main reason why Yan Yan completely obeyed Liu Zhang after he returned to obedience.

Yan Yan didn't even complain about Liu Zhang's placement of grassroots generals in Yan Yan's 10,000-strong army.

Because Yan Yan knew very well that he was the general who served under Liu Zhang.

There are such things as private soldiers in Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan, but there is none in Qin State.

At present, the main general of this army is still Yan Yan, and the 10,000 troops will also obey Yan Yan's dispatch.

But all of this is based on Yan Yan's loyalty to Liu Zhang.

Once Yan Yan has any dissent, this army will immediately provoke a mutiny.

The Jiangxia Huang family is different.

The Huang family is one of the top families in Jingzhou, and the Huang family has dominated Jiangxia for many years.

This determines that the attitude of their family of this level will not be as docile as the Berkshire Yan family.

Especially with such a powerful military strength of the Jiangxia navy, the Huang family will not be willing to let go of power.

In their bones, they completely believed that these naval forces belonged to Huang's private property.

This is completely beyond the bottom line that Liu Zhang can tolerate.

For the current Liu Zhang, it doesn't matter who rules Jingzhou, whether Liu Biao, Cai Mao, or Liu Bei.

The more serious the internal friction, the more favorable it will be for the Eastern Qin Army to attack Jingzhou in the future.

If Liu Bei can completely cripple the power of the Jingzhou family, it will be a big favor to Liu Zhang.
