Chapter 529
In this era when transportation basically depends on traveling and communication basically depends on yelling, if the buyer and seller want to complete the transaction smoothly, they must make an appointment in advance for the time and place, otherwise they will only leave tomorrow if you come here today. You won’t pass by in the opposite direction.
Just after noon, Xiahou Ba led a team of Wei troops to the opposite side on a raft. He paddled to the river and walked into the Roman camp. The leader was Sain.
After a closer look, there were men and women in the team, some horses, and a few big boxes. I don’t know what to pack.
As soon as the team approached, Xiahou Ba turned his gaze to the war horse behind Sain, and then he could no longer move.
Those war horses are tall and have strong limbs, and they are rare horses at first glance.
Sain came to the river and stepped on the raft, saluted to Xiahou Ba and said, "General Xiahou, Duke Chris has agreed to serve the Great Wei, this is a gift he sent."
Xiahou Ba finally came to his senses and said calmly: "Bring it up."
Everyone worked together to carry the people, horses and big boxes onto the raft, and turned around and rushed to the Wei army camp.
After getting ashore, Xiahou Ba took away all his things. As for Sain, he followed the commander to go straight to the commander's tent. When he went in, he saw that Cao Ang, Jiang Wan and Xu Huang were sitting down separately, and were having a leisurely tea.
Seeing Sain come in, the three of them put down their teacup and looked up at the same time.
Sain bowed and said, "Your Highness, General Xu, Jiang Sheren, and Duke Chris have agreed to serve the Great Wei Dynasty and have sent generous gifts to ask his subordinates to say hello to him on his behalf."
"oh?"
Cao Ang leaned back, changed into a more comfortable position and said, "Who is Duke Chris and how powerful is in Rome?"
He didn't know any of the Roman nobles, and he had never thought about who to cooperate with in advance. He threw Sain over and was just a chance to catch who was who.
Nobles have never had any moral integrity, so many people can always find one or two people who sell their country and seek honor.
Jiang Wan took over Seren's words and smiled: "Your Highness, I have some understanding of Duke Chris. This person is the patriarch of the Polfi family. The Polfi family is comparable to the Xun family in Rome. It has more than a dozen cities with a population of millions and has 30,000 standing troops. Chris himself is a close confidant promoted by the Roman emperor Severu himself. He is young and promising, and he is also a hero."
Cao Ang touched his stubble and thought, "So this person is still a bit worthy in Rome, Sain, tell me what your negotiations are."
"Here."
Sain nodded, and talked about what he had done to Chris yesterday and the two of them. Finally, he said: "Duke Chris respects His Highness very much and entrusted me to send twenty beauties to His Highness, all of whom were princesses from all countries, with noble blood and beautiful faces."
Cao Ang's eyes lit up and quickly dimmed, and he said calmly: "Oh, thank Duke Chris for me, I'm sorry."
Sain's heart skipped a beat. Men were lustful. Cao Ang had been in the army for a long time. He thought that Cao Ang would be ecstatic when he offered this group of noble female slaves, but this reaction was not consistent with his expectations.
Did you flatter the wrong way?
Sure enough, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.
Sain's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xu Huang and said, "General Xu, Duke Chris heard that you like war horses, so he entrusted his subordinates to send twenty Dayuan foals. Please accept it with a smile."
"Dayuan Horse, take me to see it."
Xu Huang jumped up from his seat and ran away. He ran to the door and remembered something. Then he turned around and returned and smiled, "Your Highness, I'll go and take a look first."
The Dayuan horse is a famous divine horse. Emperor Wu of Han launched a war to obtain the Dayuan horse breeding. Now three hundred years have passed, and the Dayuan horses and their descendants have long disappeared. In the Great Wei Dynasty, there are no hybrids that can be found.
The favorite thing a general like Xu Huang likes is the war horse. He suddenly heard that there were more than twenty horses in Dayuan, so it would be strange if he didn't lose his composure.
Cao Ang looked speechless, just a few war horses, but the Great Wei Dynasty is not without it. After all, you are the supreme commander of the Northwest War Zone of the Great Wei Dynasty, so can't you be more reserved?
He waved his hand with disgust and said, "Go, I'll forget it. Leave a few for my old man so that he won't wear you shoes later."
Cao Cao must have to pay tribute, but you should say that Xu Huang twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled Sain and left.
Soon, only Cao Ang and Jiang Wan were left in the tent. Cao Ang smiled and said, "It's easy to deal with the Roman traitor with Chris, but I don't like being stuck in my neck. Looking back, I will find a few partners. Once there are many Roman nobles who defect to us, they will compete with each other. If you want to gain the trust of the Great Wei, you must do your best to do your best to serve the Great Wei. This will only benefit and not harm us."
Jiang Wan nodded and said, "Your Highness is right, but there is no hurry. If you buy horse bones for a thousand gold coins, I think Chris should be set as a benchmark for Roman nobles, so that they can see the benefits of cooperation with the Great Wei. In this way, we don't have to work hard for other Roman nobles to come to us."
Cao Ang smiled and said, "If you do your business, I'll feel at ease. Let's go and see those Dayuan horses."
Any product requires an advertising effect. More than 300 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han used a war to make an advertisement in the world for Dayuan Horse. Since then, Dayuan Horse has become a world comparable to a Tianma in the Han Dynasty. Han generals dreamed of getting one.
The two of them went out of the tent and followed the commander to go straight to the schoolyard. When they went over, they saw that the schoolyard was already crowded. Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Ba, and even Hao Zhao, who was supposed to sleep on the night night, got up from the bed and rushed to the schoolyard to look at the war horses. His eyes were gentler than his grandson who had watched the ten-generation single-children.
Seeing Cao Ang coming, the soldiers spontaneously made way for him. Cao Ang squeezed into the crowd before he could see the surrounding situation clearly. Xu Huang ran over and reached his hand in front of him and said, "Your Highness, these are all sweat-blooded horses, and it's no problem to travel a thousand miles a day."
Cao Ang looked closely and saw that his hands were indeed covered with red sweat. He said disdainfully: "What's the point of traveling thousands of miles a day? I can take the train."
Xu Huang: "..." It's not like this.
He said helplessly: "Your Highness can't say that. Trains need rails, but war horses do not have such restrictions. You don't need to have more war horses like this. If you give me eight hundred horses, I can traverse the entire battlefield."
Cao Ang knew the importance of war horses to war in this era, looked at Sain and said, "How many of these are the Roman army?"
Sain thought, "I don't know, but there must be tens of thousands of horses. Dayuan is still a country no matter what it means."
Tens of thousands of horses?
Xu Huang and Zhao Yun and others showed a terrible evil light in their eyes, which scared Sain's heart trembled violently.
The eyes of these people are so scary, why do you feel like you want to eat people?
Cao Ang thought, "Tell Duke Chris that there are as many horses as Dayuan, the price is easy to say, and the war horses of Anxu and Rome are also needed, and the more they are better."
Good car, good gas, good horses, food, so many good horses may not be able to digest, but what does it matter? You can throw the excess to the two states of the Hungary and Mongolia to cross the grassland horses. He will do what Emperor Wu of Han did not do.
After discussing the matter, everyone continued to turn their eyes to the horse. The group of female slaves who came with Sain outside the school were unhappy. They stood on the edge and looked at the Wei soldiers who were pointing around the horse and secretly slandered them.
