The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 363
As the leader of a party, Liu Biao's desire for war horses goes without saying.
The price of war horses in Jingzhou is very high. Even in the years without war, a high-quality horse can be exchanged for two hundred stones of grain.
Now that the world is constantly in war and the world is too chaotic, strategic materials such as war horses are rising even more.
Moreover, warlords everywhere are now short of horses.
Even if Liu Biao had money, he might not be able to buy a war horse.
And the place where horses are produced in the world.
Such as Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and beyond the Great Wall.
Bingzhou was actually controlled by Zhou Cheng. As for the war in Liangzhou, it was impossible for war horses to be traded to Jingzhou.
The war in Youzhou is not over yet, and Gongsun Zan needs more war horses.
Therefore, among the heroes, only Zhou Cheng has the most horses.
……
While Cai Mao was receiving Wen Sheng, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang had already been recruited in front of Liu Biao.
Hearing that Zhou Cheng was willing to exchange war horses for food, Liu Biao had some ideas. However, he still didn't believe Zhou Cheng, so he invited Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang to discuss.
Kuai Yue said:"Zhou Cheng is a thief, so don't trust him easily. This time he changed his horse, I'm afraid there is a scam!" But
Kuai Liang shook his head and said:"Zhou Cheng's wars for many years cost a lot of money and food. It is reasonable to use horses to buy food. Among them."
Kuai Yue said:"If this is really the case, you cannot trade with him. His food shortage is only a matter of days. The Zhou thieves have been fighting for years, causing harm to the world and bringing about their own destruction."
Kuai Yue's idea is quite reasonable.
In his opinion, even if Zhou Cheng did not cheat, he could not trade with Zhou Cheng.
In this way, Zhou Cheng will definitely collapse and disintegrate due to lack of food, which will be beneficial to the world.
On the other hand, if Zhou Cheng gets grain, doesn't it mean that he is funding the bandits and allowing Zhou Cheng to continue to cause harm to the world?
But Kuai Liang said:"This is not advisable because of choking. My lord, the pros and cons should be weighed in my mind."
Liu Biao nodded.
Although Zhou Cheng dominates one side, the heroes in the world are not just for show.
Moreover, if Zhou Cheng is defeated, someone will replace Zhou Cheng at any time.
And Jingzhou is so far away from the north, the benefits of Zhou Cheng's defeat are simply not available.
On the contrary, in this transaction, if Jingzhou can get thousands of dollars, it will be able to form a mobile cavalry.
Liu Biao said:"If there is no fraud, a horse cannot exchange three hundred shi of grain for its price!"
The temptation to organize thousands of cavalry was too great.
Liu Biao didn't care about his own affairs. Even if he supported thieves and bandits, he was criticized by people all over the world.
After talking for a while, Liu Biao left the Kuai brothers to drink.
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted:"My lord! My lord!" When
Liu Biao and others heard the voice, they knew that Cai Mao was back.
The Cai family was a prominent family in Jingzhou. After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, Cai Mao was put in a high position because Liu Biao continued to marry Cai Mao's sister. Therefore, the relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Biao got closer.
Cai Mao shouted loudly outside, which was a bit rude, even though Cai Mao was Liu Biao's brother-in-law.
Liu Biao was a little angry and asked:"De Gui, you are an important minister, how can you behave so loudly in the palace?"
However, Cai Hao ignored Liu Biao's scolding and said:"My lord, Zirou, Yidu, I have purchased a new war horse." One, it’s a magnificent horse!"
It’s like he bought a supercar and showed it off specially.
In ancient times, a good horse was also a symbol of status and attracted attention on the road.
Just now, Cai Mao was on the way and enjoyed the attention and admiration of countless people.
Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang were also attracted by the 'horse' mentioned by Cai Mao.
So, the three of them, together with Cai Mao, went outside the house to watch the horses.
When they arrived outside the house, they saw a brown war horse.
The war horse has thick hooves and long legs, which shows that it is not only powerful but also fast.
Moreover, except for the four hooves, the war horse has no trace of color on its body, as if it is stepping on clouds and mist.
Kuai Liang was not only good at astronomy, but also good at horoscopes.
Anyone who likes a good-looking horse will love a good horse.
The celebrities of the Han Dynasty were far more fond of living and spiritual horses than the people of later generations were to famous cars.
Jingzhou was short of horses. After meeting a good horse, the news spread in Xiangyang City.
Soon, there were onlookers, almost blocking the state pastoral office.
It's hard to find a good horse in Jingzhou.
At this time, Kuai Liang looked at Cai Mao's newly purchased war horse. He ignored Liu Biao and went closer to take a closer look.
Kuai Liang murmured:"The physique is really rare. Even in the north, it is difficult to find such a good horse!"
Cai Mao was even more proud when he heard this and said:"That's natural. In order to get this horse, a certain person paid 50,000 stone grain.."
Fifty thousand stone grain to buy a horse!
Fifty thousand shi seems like a lot, but now food prices are rising.
One stone of grain is worth about 50 qian, while one stone is worth 10,000 qian.
The purchasing power of one gold is about two hundred stones of grain.
Fifty thousand shi of grain is equivalent to using two hundred and fifty gold to buy this horse.
In these troubled times, a bag of food can save a family.
However, whether it is modern or ancient.
The thoughts of rich people are simply difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Kuai Liang touched the shiny horse's back and murmured:"Degui, I am willing to pay 80,000 dan, can you give me this horse?"
