Hard work pays off.

Dongfang Ming tried every effort to inquire, and finally someone told him the exact news.

He was a horse seller, and his surname was Ma. Dongfang Ming asked many times and after an introduction, he heard that this man had a good horse, so he came to him.

But after Dongfang Ming saw it personally, he was still not satisfied.

Horses are all good horses, but they can be used on the battlefield. Less than one-tenth of the horses are used as war horses.

The quality of a horse is directly related to the survival rate of soldiers on the battlefield. In this regard, Dongfang Ming insists on not being too little than being too bad.

Boss Ma is doing a small business and cannot adjust enough supplies in the short term. The stables are only about two or three hundred horses, but there are thousands of horses in the Dongfangming army.

The horse owner's number of horses was not enough to supply Dongfang Ming's army.

The size of this town is still too small. The horse owner has been in the horse business for more than ten years. At the most, the customer only needs dozens of horses. The first time he meets someone, he will have to get thousands of horses.

Although Boss Ma was attracted by this big deal, he really couldn't raise so many horses in a short period of time. Not to mention that Dongfang Ming still has strict requirements on horse quality.

If you cannot successfully complete the customer's requirements, it is better not to take on this business, so as not to ruin the reputation of the industry that has been carefully operated for so many years.

Boss Ma has been doing business for more than ten years and is well aware of the principles of doing business. He will not dare to accept the business if he is not good at doing a good business.

He immediately told Dongfang Ming directly that he could not meet Dongfang Ming's request and tactfully rejected Dongfang Ming.

Dongfang Ming didn't want to give up easily. He inquired for several days and also looked at many horse farms. Boss Ma was the largest horse farm owner he found.

Dongfang Ming asked unwillingly: "Boss Ma, do you know where there are horses that meet my requirements? I really need these horses. I don't want my soldiers to be slaughtered and die on the battlefield in vain."

Boss Ma hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist Dongfang Ming's begging, and hesitated: "Some time ago, the government raised all over the horse farm in the city and purchased a batch of war horses. The horses from my horse farm were also confiscated."

"The horses the imperial court wanted were all high-quality horses, and I heard that there were nearly a thousand horses in it. I heard that I would leave here and transport it to Chang'an today."

It turned out that the reason why Dongfang Ming saw so few war horses in Boss Ma was because the court happened to buy horses some time ago.

Most of the good horses in Boss Ma’s horse farm were recruited by the court.

Originally, the court wanted to buy them all. Considering that Boss Ma still had to do business, he couldn't add so many horses in a while, so he left some for Boss Ma.

Of course, Boss Ma dared not refuse the business linked to the court. Besides, the court has purchased a large number of horses, and the government also said that it would pay as much as possible. Boss Ma was happy and it was too late.

He may not have a relationship with the government, but the future will be opened. Wouldn’t Boss Ma’s business be better?

After hearing what Boss Ma said, Dongfang Ming thought deeply.

There are no large-scale celebrations nowadays, nor are they the juncture of war.

As far as Dongfang Ming knows, except for the troops stationed by the border for many years, they need to deal with harassment from ethnic minority tribes outside the Great Wall. Currently, the only army sent by the imperial court to fight abroad is Dongfang Ming.

The imperial court now does not have a large demand for horses.

Besides, this town is not a famous place to produce horses. Although the quality of horses is acceptable, the reserves can only be considered average. The location is very far from Chang'an, and transporting horses is not a simple matter. The forage spent on the road, maintenance and transportation costs are very high.

Why did the court buy horses here well?

The horses purchased by the government were all war horses that met the requirements of Dongfangming. One battle was thousands, which happened to be different from the horse gap in Dongfangming's army.

Dongfang Ming thought about it and knew that the court deliberately conscripted the horses he needed to create difficulties for him to suppress Dou Dejian.

The court was really happy to create difficulties for Dongfang Ming and was happy to see Dongfang Ming looking very tight.

However, Dongfang Ming is not such a person who is so embarrassed.

"Young Master, that's the horse that the court wants. You don't want to come here! We ordinary people, don't do the right thing with the government, right?"

Boss Ma just couldn't stand Dongfang Ming's request and kindly told Dongfang Ming the news he knew, wanting to persuade Dongfang Ming to give up. But when Boss Ma saw Dongfang Ming's serious thought expression, he clearly had some chance of winning. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like he gave up.

"Boss, thank you for the news. You don't have to worry about anything else, I have my own way." Dongfang Ming thanked Boss Ma for the news he gave him, ignoring Boss Ma's kind advice.

Dongfang Ming already had an idea in his mind.

Since the court has already conquered the horses for Dongfang Ming, he doesn't have to work hard to buy and collect them everywhere. Just take back his horse.

After making up his mind, Dongfang Ming returned to the camp to order a group of good men. He rode his horse and ran directly along the official road.

Carrying horses is a tolerance, so you must follow the official road. In order to ensure that the horses are not lost, the speed of transporting horses cannot be too fast. Even if you set out this morning, you cannot get too far.

As long as Dongfang Ming is fast enough, he should be able to catch up with the horse team before dark.

Dongfang Ming galloped constantly, afraid of wasting time and even didn't even get off the horse and rest.

Finally, before dark, I saw the horse team.

Dongfang Ming rode his horse and chased him to the front of the horse team, and waved his hand to stop the horse team.

The leader of the horse team came over and was very displeased with Dongfang Ming stopping the horse team. He said in a stern tone: "Who are you? Do you know that we were transporting horses into Beijing under the order? Stopping us and making trouble for us is a death sentence!"

Although Dongfang Ming was wearing the outfit of a general, there was no sign of his identity on his body.

The leader of the horse team thought that Dongfang Ming was just an ordinary military general in the local area and did not take it seriously. He was ordered to work and could not be delayed easily.

If the time passes, if the horse cannot be sent to Chang'an on time, you will be punished if you fail to do your job well.

Dongfang Ming smiled and took out the general token given by the emperor.

It was the token that Dongfang Ming showed to Jimen last time.

This token was issued by the emperor, representing the general identity of Dongfang Ming by the Ministry of War. This is the token that every general will issue when leading the army. Each token issued will be registered and recognized by the court.

Previously, in order to lead the army to fight against the Turks with justification, the emperor temporarily awarded the title of General Dongfang Ming.

Although it was only temporary, and there was no general's title or the corresponding enthronement ceremony was held, the general's ritual system should have been distributed to Dongfang Ming one by one. This shows that Dongfang Ming also enjoys the treatment and power at the level of the general.

The last time Dongfang Ming returned to the court, he was immediately framed by Yuwen Zhiji and was imprisoned. The court did not have time to take back Dongfang Ming's uniform.

Soon, Dongfang Ming was jointly protected from prison by the deputy generals he led.
