466、Cao Cao buys a horse
In the battle with Zhang Xiu, he suffered all the hardships of the Xiliang cavalry. If it weren't for the bravery of his generals, it would be unknown whether Cao Cao could repel Zhang Xiu.
After the war, Cao Cao was so angry that one or two of you were like this. The cavalry was amazing. If you have a genitals, don’t use cavalry.
Of course, Cao Cao would not say this, otherwise he would not be Cao Cao.
The best way to deal with cavalry is undoubtedly cavalry. After Cao Cao looked around the map, he found that the places where horses were produced were occupied.
So he could only send special envoys, hoping to obtain war horses from Liu Zhe. Of course, he did not forget Ma Teng and Han Sui from Liangzhou, so he also sent special envoys to.
Among them, Cao Cao had the greatest hope for Liu Zhe, because Liu Zhe had agreed to buy and sell a large number of horses before.
"Oh, that's it," Liu Zhe suddenly realized and nodded, "Yes, just go to the Business Department for this matter."
Su Shuangzhang Shiping of the Ministry of Commerce is responsible for horse trading, and they are dealing with this matter.
"Taiwei, this..." Jiang Ji was a little hesitant.
"What's the matter?" Liu Zhe asked curiously. Jiang Ji, who was still calm just now, became like this in a blink of an eye, shy and embarrassed to speak.
Finally, Jiang Ji twisted for a while and spoke.
It turned out that Cao Cao was not rich, and he hoped that Liu Zhe could give him some face and be cheaper for the sake of everyone's familiarity.
After hearing this, Liu Zhe felt very funny. It turned out that Cao Cao was short of money.
What Liu Zhe didn't know was that Cao Cao was really depressed. He was in charge of such a large territory, but as a result, he had no money in his hand, and he would be laughed to death if he told him.
But there is no way. Who has caused Cao Cao's place to suffer great damage? I don't know when it will be when it will be restored.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to send Jiang Ji to find Liu Zhe. He could have sent someone to the Youzhou Commercial Department to buy horses. Why bother to let Jiang Ji come to find Liu Zhe and expose his situation to Liu Zhe to know.
After Jiang Ji finished speaking, he also looked at Liu Zhe with concern and told Cao Cao about the financial crisis. This was a great danger. If Liu Zhe disagreed and knew that Cao Cao was short of money, he became greedy and sent troops to attack Cao Cao, it would be tragic.
"Taiwei, Cao Gong often talks to us about the days when he fights against the Yellow Turban with you. He often laments that if there are more loyal ministers like Taiwei in the world, the world will be peaceful." Jiang Ji continued to speak out, which was playing the emotional card.
After hearing this, Liu Zhe felt even more funny. This shows that Cao Cao was really embarrassed, otherwise he would not have let his subordinates say such compliments.
How many more people like Liu Zhe?
If this is true, how could Cao Cao have a place in the world? Cao Cao wished that Liu Zhe would disappear immediately in this world so that he could feel at ease.
In fact, it is not impossible to buy war horses for Cao Cao. Moreover, the war horses sold by Liu Zhe are much worse than those used by Youzhou himself, and he will not be afraid of meeting them in the future.
But if it is so easy to sell to Cao Cao, it would be too cheap.
Liu Zhe pondered for a moment before saying, "It is not impossible to sell it to Brother Meng De for cheap."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ji showed joy on his face, but before he could thank him, Liu Zhe continued, "But I want to know if he will use it against me in the future?"
Jiang Ji calmed down his joy and stood up with a serious expression. He assured Liu Zhe: "This is definitely not the case. The lord said that everyone is loyal ministers of the court and loyal to the court. How can we attack each other?"
Even the loyal ministers of the court came out, and the flattery was so loud that it was obvious that Cao Cao was also willing to go out in order to buy a horse.
"Okay," Liu Zhe pretended to be thinking for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ji was overjoyed.
Liu Zhe smiled and said to Jiang Ji: "Now, let's talk about the price."
The smile on Jiang Ji's face suddenly solidified.
"What, do you think this horse was given for free?" Liu Zhe continued to smile, with a smile on his face and a full face of a profiteer.
After hearing Liu Zhe's words, Jiang Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly. He saw Liu Zhe agree so easily just now, and he really had an illusion that he thought Liu Zhe gave him away for free.
He laughed awkwardly, then asked, "I wonder how many war horses the Grand Marshal is willing to sell to us?"
Liu Zhe did not answer directly, but asked back: "How many do you want? Five thousand? Ten thousand? Or twenty thousand?"
When Jiang Ji heard that Liu Zhe seemed to be willing to sell it no matter how many Liu Zhe seemed, he couldn't help but drool, wishing to pack all of Liu Zhe's horses back to Yanzhou.
However, Jiang Ji also knew that so many war horses were not cheap.
He asked tentatively, "I don't know what the price is?"
"Sacrifice!" Liu Zhe smiled slightly and let Guo Jia appear.
Liu Zhe then left. He didn't need to participate in these things in person, and he was too lazy to participate.
Guo Jia stood up with a smile and looked at Guo Jia coming out the most trusted by Liu Zhe. The smile on his face made Jiang Ji feel a bad premonition.
"Are you afraid that this price is outrageous?" Jiang Ji was already mentally prepared.
"Our horses in Youzhou are divided into two levels, first-class war horses, and second-class is slow horses. War horses are divided into three levels, upper, middle and lower, ranging from dozens of gold to over a thousand golds, while slow horses are much cheaper. However, for Cao Gong's account, we can give you some discounts on war horses."
Hey, it's not too outrageous.
