Zhang Yun came to a fence and saw that the cows on the periphery were relatively thin, and there were a lot of sheep among them. Sheep were much cheaper than cows, and the price here was RMB. Many people came here after just one look.

The next one.

Zhang Yun saw a bunch of horses in this pen, and it seemed that these horses were rare and good horses, and they should be good as war horses. He decisively paid for the livestock in this pen.

After paying the money, Zhang Yun and his officials quickly entered the fence, tied up all the animals with the prepared ropes, and then drove them out of the fence little by little. Zhang Yun carefully checked the horses inside, there were 28 in total, one of them was

Of the 19 horses that have reached the level of horses, 19 can be used as war horses, the remaining 8 and 6 are strong horses, the other two are colts, and there is not a single horse.

The value of these 28 horses is about three thousand, which means that each of the one thousand cattle costs less than ten yuan, which is about half cheaper than the usual price of cattle.

After a busy morning, Zhang Yun asked his officials to hire people to guard the livestock they purchased. At the same time, he went to the commercial district to find a place to buy green fodder, while Zhang Yun continued to buy cattle here.

No one thought that with such a purchase of one thousand and one thousand, it took the Yizhou cavalry six days to sell out all the livestock. Zhang Yun spent almost all of his own money, buying a total of twenty-one waves, more than twenty-four thousand cattle.

, as well as more than 40 horses and more than 200 sheep.

Zhang Yun regretted buying cattle in Canling County, otherwise they would have bought more this time. But if he did not go to Canling County, he would not have come to Wudu County, and would not have been able to participate in this rush buying. And this time

After the great victory in Yizhou, the coalition forces of the Qiang tribe seemed to be hesitant. They began to advance slowly. This time they were fully aware of the eliteness of the Yizhou cavalry.

More than ten days of transportation of strategic materials are almost done, so after buying enough cattle, Zhang Yun plans to return to Jingzhou as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. As long as these cattle can be brought back to Xiangyang City, his status as the number one counselor under Liu Biao will no longer be

Some people will be shocked. This trip to Yizhou not only solved the problem of the lack of cattle in Jingzhou, but also made Liu Biao make a lot of money. With money, Liu Biao can stand upright in front of the aristocratic family. But thinking about the situation in Yizhou today

Zhang Yun suddenly lost all interest in everything.

Seeing that the official road was passable again, Zhang Yun asked his officials to go to Canling County to notify the soldiers to drive the cattle. More than 20,000 cattle must be tied up if they want to drive a long way. Otherwise, if one cow is frightened, the entire herd will not be safe.

crazy.

Just four days later, when his officials came back and told Zhang Yun that more than 500 of the original 3,000 soldiers were missing, and the remaining people were emotionally unstable, Zhang Yun promised all the soldiers that he would give them to all the soldiers when they returned to Jingzhou.

Only by rewarding others can the hearts of others be stabilized.

Zhang Yun went back to Jingzhou. He walked westward from Yinping County to the official road in the north of Guangping County. Everyone walked in a hurry on the way back. Zhang Yun was still a little worried that Liu Xin was plotting against him. At this time, tens of thousands of elite cavalry came out from behind.

They were said to be bandits who had robbed the cattle and Liu Biao knew there was nothing he could do.

When Zhang Yungang entered Yizhou, Liu Xin already knew the news. He asked the counties to treat foreign caravans the same as local caravans. Now he would give them some advantages and wait until they spread everything about Yizhou to other counties in the world.

Then this can be regarded as a propaganda for Yizhou. More people can exchange gold, silver and copper for Yizhou goods. Liu Xin is happy. If there is no gold, silver and copper everywhere in the world, they must include Yizhou banknotes.

Their currency system is what Liu Xin expected.

Let’s talk about the Qiang grassland in the west of Wudu County. It is about 300 miles away from the newly built Qiangdao County. After Liu Xin ordered to build a city here, it only took three months to build an urn city here, and two more.

The urn city is under construction.

Huang Zhong is now in the Qiang Sanbao which is under construction. Next to him are military camps. There are eight military camps here, and eight elite cavalry battalions in Yizhou are stationed here. A few days ago, he met with the migrating Qiang tribes

During the war, they actually only deployed seven battalions of troops, and in just two days they captured the 120,000-strong Qiang tribe coalition and captured all the soldiers and herdsmen on the other side.

Some of the captured Qiang tribesmen were sent to Wudu County and sold to the chamber of commerce, which could increase the production speed of the chambers of commerce. The remaining half, the old and the weak, worked hard in Xinsanbao. If everyone was left here, what would happen?

A large number of soldiers have to be guarded here. The solution given by the State Mufu is to forcibly separate all the Qiang tribes, so that it is possible to completely assimilate them.

In the main tent of the cavalry camp, a group of infantry troops came today. The leading general was Zhou Tai, the first military general in Yizhou. He now led the infantry generals and cavalry generals to hold a military meeting for the first time.

"This time the Qiang people will never give up on fighting us because of the loss of 100,000 people. My lord attaches great importance to this war, so I asked General Zhou Tai to lead three battalions of elite infantry and 10,000 regular soldiers to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

From today on, General Zhou Tai will be the leader in all military affairs in the Qiang grasslands. I, Fang Yue, Guan Hai, and General Huang Quan will serve as deputy, and Zhang Renbiejia will be the supervisor. From now on, we will have General Zhou Tai as the leader." Huang Zhong.

Sitting in the second seat of the big tent, he told the more than 30 generals present that these generals were at least captains of various battalions. To become elite camp captains, they now need at least second-rate strength.

Huang Zhong was the original commander here, and Zhou Tai came to replace his position. He must explain it to everyone. After Huang Zhong finished speaking, Zhou Tai spoke.

"Everyone, with the strength of our cavalry, there is no problem in defeating the coalition of Qiang tribes. As long as we follow the previous methods and continue to harass their livestock, we can make the other side collapse without a fight.

And what is the purpose of the Lord letting the cavalry arrive? You may think that the infantry is here to protect the unfinished barbican city!

There is nothing wrong with protecting Wengcheng, but the reason why we have gathered so many troops this time is not just to win, but to take down all these Qiang tribes." Zhou Tai sat in the main seat and looked at everyone present.

Now Huang Zhong's strength is almost the same as Zhou Tai's, but Huang Zhong's status will always be lower than Zhou Tai's, not only because Zhou Tai was the earliest general to follow Liu Xin, but the most important reason is that Zhou Tai once led troops to guard Youzhou for three years.

, this is what makes Yizhou what it is today.

All the generals listened carefully to Zhou Tai's words. Liu Xin was able to send Zhou Tai and Huang Zhong together, and also asked Zhang Ren of the Prefectural Mufu to serve as the supervisor, which shows that Liu Xin attached great importance to this battle.

"What we can know now is that all the tribes of the Southern Qiang have united to fight against us, and at least a large tribe of the Western Qiang has participated.

The opponent can now organize at least 150,000 cavalry, which is more than four times our number. The opponent is forced to a dead end this time. They are probably planning to attack Wudu County with all their strength. When the time comes, it will be difficult for our cavalry to intercept them.

easy.
