Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 417: Transactions
Lu Bu just stared at Liu Bei without saying much. If Liu Bei really had this understanding, he would not have ordered Chen Deng to go to Mi Mansion knowing that the Mi family was on good terms with Bingzhou. He believed that Liu Bei had other motives for coming.
The purpose is, no matter how you interact with people like Liu Bei, you must be cautious. As for investigating the assassin, not even the Flying Eagle soldiers can find out, let alone Liu Bei.
"It's just that Cao Cao's army has a deep grudge with Xuzhou. Cao Cao's army has strong soldiers and horses, and now it has obtained most of Yuzhou's land. It is strong and prepared. It is for the sake of forming an alliance with Bingzhou." Liu Bei said slowly, since Cao Cao captured Yanzhou
After that, he became very anxious. Cao Cao had coveted Xuzhou for a long time. Sooner or later, the two would have a battle. Xuzhou was rich, but it had the strength of four battles, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend.
"Thank you so much to the Marquis of Jin for selling the Xuzhou war horses. I am very grateful. When I was in Xuzhou, I had some misunderstandings with the Marquis of Jin. It was because I misunderstood what others said. I hope the Marquis of Jin will not blame you." Seeing that Lu Bu remained silent.
, Liu Bei said with a sincere expression.
Lu Bu smiled and said: "The matter has passed. Xuande must not mention it again."
"I admire the generosity of the Marquis of Jin." Liu Bei saluted.
Lu Bu returned the gift and said: "The alliance is of great importance. I will inform Xuande after discussing it with my subordinates."
"The Marquis of Jin also knows the current situation in Xuzhou. Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou and Yuzhou. He will definitely not give up. He is preparing to serve as the shepherd of Xuzhou, but he is anxious in his heart. Xuzhou is unstable now, and all county officials will not obey orders. If Cao's army raises troops to invade
,Xuzhou is in danger."
"Bingzhou is separated from Xuzhou by Jizhou. Jizhou and Bingzhou have a deep hatred. Although I have the intention, I am powerless." Lu Bu sighed. If Bingzhou and Xuzhou were close, Lu Bu might not be able to help but attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou's Zang
Ba is a powerful force.
"Bei is extremely grateful that the Marquis of Jin has such a heart." Liu Bei was silent for a long time and said slowly: "What Xuzhou lacks is cavalry, and the elite cavalry in Bingzhou is known to the world. The Marquis of Jin dared to go deep into the enemy's rear with hundreds of cavalry. Bei Chang
Thinking about it, if Xuzhou also has such cavalry, why not be able to compete with Cao Cao? I wonder if the Marquis of Jin would like to inform me of the method of cavalry training."
Lu Bu chuckled, "Xuan De has two powerful generals, namely Yi De and Yun Chang, so it is easy to train cavalry. Moreover, Xuzhou's war horses are also from Bingzhou. They can become elites with only rigorous training."
Since the war, Lu Bu also knows that many princes have discovered the secrets of cavalry. The sudden increase in strength of the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command is the best explanation. Liu Bei may have discovered something, and may have come to the army to get more information.
The exact news, if this is true, is to try to extort some food and grass from Xuzhou. Anyway, these secrets have been leaked, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.
"Bei asked the Marquis of Jin to tell him the secret of the Bingzhou cavalry." Seeing Lu Bu talk about him, Liu Bei said truthfully.
"The secret of the Bingzhou cavalry?" Lu Bu looked thoughtful, and when the generals in the army saw this, they also resigned and left the tent.
"Xuzhou is willing to send two thousand dan of grain and grass to Bingzhou." Liu Bei began to bid.
Lu Bu curled his lips secretly, two thousand stones of food and grass? I don't know what Liu Bei was thinking, even the price was so stingy.
"With one hundred thousand dan of food and grass, I will tell Xuande the secret of Bingzhou's cavalry." Lu Bu said slowly.
Liu Bei was silent. From Lu Bu's words, he already knew that the cavalry really had a secret. This was why he wanted to know the secret of the cavalry before heading to the Bingzhou Army.
Guo Jia was also stunned as he watched Lu Bu and Liu Bei bargaining, and finally set the price at 50,000 shi of grain and grass.
Liu Bei felt that he had been cheated. Is it really worth buying the secret of the cavalry with 50,000 stones of food and grass? With 50,000 stones of food and grass, a 10,000-strong army would be enough for four months in exchange for the secret of the Bingzhou cavalry. But if Xuzhou can use this
It's worth it to get a strong cavalry.
And Lu Bu also knew that it was difficult to keep the secret of the cavalry, so he might as well make a fortune while it still had some value.
Guan Yu, who was behind Liu Bei, was even more dissatisfied. They were both Han courtiers and should help each other.
"It's not that I don't believe in Xuande. Fifty thousand stones of grain and grass is not a small amount after all. Can Xuande put down a written document as proof?" Lu Bu said.
"Text evidence?" Liu Bei asked doubtfully.
"Oh, just write down on the paper that Xuande owes Bingzhou 50,000 stones of grain and grass. When will he pay it back? Write Xuande's name, stamp it with Xuande's seal, or put his fingerprints on it."
Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, of course.
Looking at the written evidence and fingerprints written by Liu Bei on the paper, Lu Bu smiled. As long as he had this written evidence, he was not afraid of Liu Bei's denial.
Looking at Lu Bu's smile, Liu Bei felt slightly uneasy.
"Xuande, please follow me to the army. I will tell you the secret of Xuande's cavalry."
"I wonder if I can take Bei's second brother and third brother with me," Liu Bei said.
"Of course." Lu Bu said with a smile. He didn't expect that someone would send food and grass before leaving. Such good things are hard to find.
After walking out of the camp, Lu Bu ordered: "Bring a horse."
After a while, a flying cavalry soldier sent a war horse.
Lu Bu said: "Xuande, let's take a look. I named this stirrup. It helps the cavalry to stabilize their body on the horse. Even if they hold the sword with both hands, they don't have to worry about falling off the horse."
Liu Bei said yes on the surface, but in his heart he was looking forward to more secrets about Bingzhou's war horses. He had already ordered craftsmen to make stirrups and equip them for the cavalry.
Guan Yu snorted coldly and said: "Many princes know about the stirrups. Could it be that the Marquis of Jin thinks this thing is worth fifty thousand stones of food and grass?"
Dian Wei had long disliked Guan Yu. From the first time he met Lu Bu, Guan Yu acted very arrogantly. He took a step forward, glared at Guan Yu and said: "The Marquis of Jin is doing things, how can you be so arrogant here?"
Liu Bei saw Guan Yu narrowing his eyes slightly and said hurriedly: "Don't be weird, Marquis of Jin."
"I, Jingyunchang, are a fierce general. If you act recklessly in the Bingzhou Army, please leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for ignoring our past friendship." Lu Bu said coldly.
Guan Yu's face turned redder, but to outsiders there was no change.
"Yun Chang, why don't you apologize to the Marquis of Jin quickly?" Liu Bei said.
"No need, I am not a narrow-minded person."
Liu Bei's face froze slightly, and he smiled and said: "The Marquis of Jin is generous."
"Besides the stirrups, there is another thing that is indispensable for defeating the enemy." Lu Bu looked at Guan Yu and said with a half-smile.
Guan Yu proudly revealed that he lowered his head a little, while Zhang Fei stared at Lu Bu with bright eyes. Xuzhou's cavalry had been trained by him and he could improve his soldiers.
"What is it?" Liu Bei asked in surprise. It seems that the fifty thousand stones of food and grass were not given in vain.
Lu Bu nodded, and Dian Wei raised a horse's hoof.
