138 War Bonus
Before leaving, Liu Bei scratched his head and asked again: "Mother, is it that obvious about my desire to 'enter the master'?"
"It is natural for human nature to be promoted to a higher position and to be granted a title." The mother's expression said everything.
"Oh." Liu Bei was unhappy. No wonder all the boys in the county knew that 'Everyone looked for the marquis'.
I'm in a bad mood.
So I went to the backyard to find Su Shuang.
Liu Bei no longer comes to the backyard. In the past, he could meet female assassins who went to the toilet from time to time. Now female assassins are blatantly visiting, so there is no need to go to the backyard toilet. Liu Bei’s backyard is the real backyard. The towering warehouse building and large stables on both sides, as well as the huge horse walking farm in the yard, are all symbols of wealth.
The green horses and yellow horses have had several fetuses. There are also foals growing in the groove. The horses from Liu Bei's family are the same as those sold by Zhang Shiping. The horses sold from Youbeiping County were all handed over to the Wuhuan shepherds of Xilinyi. The more than a thousand war horses seized from the Zahu horse thieves were, except for a few serious injuries that could not be ridden, and used for breeding, the rest were handed over to the army. They were raised in the large stable of the martial arts field, preparing to expand the cavalry. The martial arts field was much wider than the backyard of the Liu Bei's family.
Su Shuang and Huang Xu were cutting grass. Liu Bei rushed over to help.
Huang Xu was thinking that he had not finished memorizing the schoolwork in the past few days. Seeing Liu Bei coming to help, he went to Taishi Ci to review it.
Liu Bei gradually grew up and his strength was great. He had a strong bow with two stones and could cut through the bull's eye with one arrow. It was difficult for Gongsun to win easily with him.
Cut the straw into fine sieve, add beans, bran, and the Western Region alfalfa that Liu Bei tried to plant. Su Shuang said it was better than wheat straw.
Feeding dozens of grooves is definitely a job of hard work. Su Shuang and Liu Bei are happy. Su Shuang loves horses as crazy as they are. Liu Bei should cherish them. Naturally, he doesn't feel tired. Qing Yan and Huang Piao are quite human. When they see Liu Bei, they are very intimate. Even the green horses left for the harp, they like to snuggle in front of Liu Bei.
After eating and drinking, take a walk around to promote digestion. It is not advisable to run too fast, and jogging is the best option.
The first thing Su Shuang does when he wakes up every day is to feed the horse. After eating the forage for one stick of incense, he starts walking the horse. After half an hour of walking, he takes the horses to cool off, cleans the horses, prevents rotten hooves, and takes them back to the stable to rest. Another hour is the most important riding training.
At noon, I took my horses back to eat and rest. The sun sets and then took a second walk. The time was the same as in the morning. At night, I waited for the people I hired to finish the meal and then fed the horses. I also lit a rope to repel mosquitoes and flies to prevent mosquitoes and flies from biting and getting infected with the disease.
This is basically Su Shuang's life all day long.
Today, Liu Bei was rarely free. So he walked his horse in the backyard with Su Shuang.
There are already sixteen boxes of bees in the hive on the fourth floor of the warehouse building. Today it is sunny, and most of the bees are lying in the beehive to avoid the cold, but three or two are coming out to collect honey. Can plum blossoms be picked?
This is the first time Liu Bei has seen him.
There are many stables in the stables. My mother gave them names. Liu Bei could also recognize them. The largest green horse can ride during the New Year. Then he will give them to Qianzhao. Speaking of the master Le Yin, who is in the Lousang Academy, was a master of the great scholar Chen Shi. I wonder if he could tell him that?
Forget it. It seems a bit difficult to do this.
After the New Year, it was the third year of Xiping. Liu Bei was thirteen years old. He was far ahead of his age. The soft ladder under the saddle went one step, and his feet fell steadily on the stirrups. The stirrups were still lifted up a little. In any case, they could ride a horse normally in another year.
This year, Cao Cao was recommended as the Northern Army of Luoyang. As soon as Cao took office, he ordered the creation of "five-color sticks" hanged around the yamen. No matter the powerful and powerful, they would be killed if they violated the criminal law. The uncle of Jian Shuo, the eunuch who was deeply favored by Emperor Ling of Han, died under Cao Cao's "five-color sticks". Cao Cao's strict law enforcement and selflessness made the domineering and idle and idling in the capital under the eyes of the emperor shocked the great and powerful and playboys. Social security was greatly rectified, and since then, "the capital was restrained and there were no crazy people."
Liu Bei didn't know about these things that happened in the Luoyang court. He was cleaning up the town for the whole first month.
Unlike the previous bandits who were mostly shot to death by bows and arrows when they invaded. This time, most of the horse thieves were killed by swords and shields. There were many minced meat left in the corners. Before the heat caused the plague, Liu Bei's life was cleaned up carefully without mentioning it.
The most valuable part of the trophy is naturally the war horse. The horses of horses and thieves are mostly mixed-blooded, and although they don’t know the breed, they are quite good. They are not only good at riding, but also can carry weights. Zhang Shiping’s estimated price is mostly high-quality war horses worth 50,000 yuan. Among them, the war horses ridden by the elite cavalry can be used as top-quality war horses worth 100,000 yuan. Hu Chief’s Qing Cang horse is a top-quality horse worth 50 gold.
What is the same price as Huang Zhong’s dragon?
Zhang Shiping answered Liu Bei's doubts. If it weren't for the horse running with Hu Chief for a day and a night, the horse would be quite exhausted. Huang Zhong wanted to kill his master together, it would be difficult!
I see!
In addition to horses, the second largest entry was the equipment of the horse thief. The cloak behind the back, the leather armor, and the covers of the war horses were all covered with fur. The leather helmets were mostly wrapped in a whole piece of marten! Just these more than a thousand sets of fur winter clothes made Liu Bei make a big profit.
He is really a Hu person who is 'mao Bao'.
In addition, the "superbing gold and iron" on horse thieves is the third biggest gain.
The weapons in the hands and the gold ornaments on the body are all "elegant gold and good iron".
All the fine gold was melted and made into horse hoof golden cakes. More than a thousand gold cakes were obtained! In other words, each horse thief had a pound of gold jewelry on his body! Headdresses, earrings, neck accessories, waist accessories, and all kinds of decorations were included. This shows that this group of horse thieves do many evil things on weekdays and are rich.
All the good iron was refined, with a total of 20,000 kilograms. They were all cast into iron and steel ingots for later use.
There were rumors that he had picked up a finger and became rich overnight. The fingers of horse thieves were naturally worthless. The key was that the huge gold and gem ring on his finger was really extraordinary. In a single gold ring, Liu Bei had seen beast-faced gold rings, standing sheep gold rings, and quite a few gold rings inlaid with gems such as lapis lazuli, turquoise and other gems, as well as the huge gold ring on Hu Kai's fingers that came from the Western Regions.
In short, they all became Liu Bei's collection.
The bounty to the generals and troops was obtained from the horse thief. After all the rewards were given, there were still a thousand gold cakes left in the mansion. It was really profitable.
Liu Bei also tasted the dividends of war for the first time.
At the end of the first month, the horn of the Xique sounded again.
Liu Bei hurried to the martial arts venue and climbed up to look into the distance.
Looking around, there is a white snow field with a winding black line coming along the official road towards Lou Sang.
Monoculars, it seems not difficult.
Just find two crystal stones to grind it. When the black line gets thicker, Huang Zhong said in one sentence: It's the convoy.
Convoy?
Liu Bei was stunned. Could it be that Luoyang was coming to envoy?
Impossible. This is too fast.
When the convoy approached, there was a reward for the assassination, all of which were Hu people's tents and high cars. I had asked the driver and said he was from Shanggu County.
