Chapter 619: Rumors in Wudu County

"I'm afraid you don't know, sir, that cavalry fighting is not limited to one place. There are many light cavalry fighting in the Qiang grassland.

The predecessor of our Yizhou Jingqi was the Xiandu Cavalry. In the past, 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry were needed to defeat Dong Zhuo. The 10,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry who killed Lu Bu fled in the wind. Now many soldiers in the army surrendered from Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Soldier, our inn has hosted many guests!

When the Qiang cavalry fights, they rely on cattle and sheep for food and grass. Therefore, except for small-scale battles, when fighting with more than 5,000 people, the entire tribe must move together, taking with them all the tribe's livestock and population. How many years have our Bingzhou Jingqi fought with them?

Well, the Qiang people basically don’t dare to come within 500 miles of our Wudu County.

Our army's victory this time was actually the victory over a large Qiang tribe and a group of small and medium-sized tribes, totaling more than 100,000 people. I heard that the young and strong prisoners of war have arrived at Qiang Road and will be escorted back to Wudu County tomorrow. Those tribal livestock and

It is difficult to bring them back if they are old and weak."

When the waiter saw that Zhang Yun was not from Yizhou and was very interested in the Qiang war, he told him that the Yizhou Jingqi used to be stationed just outside Wudu County, so the waiter in the Yizhou Cavalry Store looked proud when talking about it.

"In the past, five thousand Xiandu cavalry could defeat Dong Zhuo's fifty thousand Xiliang cavalry. I heard that Yizhou now has more than forty thousand elite cavalry. Wouldn't it be invincible in the world!" Zhang Yun deliberately spoke to the waiter, trying to get him to say more.

, although the words spoken by ordinary people may not be correct, but who is Zhang Yun? How many true things are there in it that he can easily tell.

"Of course! Who among the elites in Yizhou can be our enemy? Just look at the princes like Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu. How many people can they rule? How can they be compared with me in Yizhou?

Our Lord Zhou Mu is kind and does not want the people of the Han Dynasty to shed blood. Originally, we had six battalions of elites in the Qiang Road, and the Qiang people we had already attacked were unable to parry. However, the grassland is so big, and there are even more powerful Da Yueshi and Xiongnu in the north of the Qiang people.

, all ethnic groups in Xianbei.

Mr. Zhou Mu hoped to permanently solve the harm caused by the grassland tribes to our Central Plains, so he planned to build a city on the grassland. Building a city on this grassland is several times more difficult than here, so he expanded the cavalry from the sixth battalion to the current fourteenth battalion.

..." The waiter kept talking and talked about the Yizhou Cavalry for three days and three nights.

Zhang Yun couldn't help but admire Liu Xin in his heart. Liu Xin not only has the world in mind, but also has the means and ability to solve problems. If he can take over the entire Qiang grassland, then he will be a holy king, regardless of whether he is the emperor or not.

.

After hearing so much, Zhang Yun felt that there was no need to look at the Yizhou cavalry anymore. Compared with Yizhou, the number of soldiers in Jingzhou was more than half, and the quality was at least ten times different. What was the point of fighting like this? If he

If it weren't for Liu Biao's great trust, I wouldn't want to go back to Jingzhou and join Liu Xin.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yunzheng was about to return to Canling County. He saw that many businessmen suddenly appeared in the inn. After asking, he learned that a group of prisoners of war would be sent to Wudu County today. These people were here to buy prisoners.

Following these merchants to the market, this is the Wudu County commercial trade area. Zhang Yun saw that there were thousands of people waiting here, and there were also some people waiting to buy livestock. These people were basically from all over Yizhou.

Ranchers on large ranches, and some in slaughterhouses.

By noon, the Qiang prisoners we were waiting for had not arrived yet. Not only did no one leave the market, but there were more and more people in the market. Zhang Yun estimated that there were at least 3,000 people here. Everyone was waiting patiently.

Zhang Yun also pretended to be a businessman and talked with these people. He knew that most of these people were representatives of aristocratic families. Every time the Yizhou cavalry won a battle, they would benefit from this.

"Here we go, it's General He Ye who has personally escorted the prisoners back!" At this time, someone came to the market and shouted loudly. Everyone started to walk towards the west gate. When they came to the city gate, they saw that there were already countless people on both sides of the road.

While waiting, a group of cavalry rode slowly into the county town. The cavalry were all wearing light and special iron armor. They were tall and had divine horses on their crotches. It was obvious at a glance that they were rare elites.

Jingzhou also has cavalry, but it is not inferior to these cavalry. If such cavalry charges collectively, their combat power is immeasurable.

Behind the cavalry were carriages one after another, and the carriages were filled with Qiang-looking prisoners. These prisoners sat quietly in the carriages and looked out the window. They seemed to have no fear or helplessness as prisoners.

Carriages entered the city one after another, and the people moved out of the way. Zhang Yun saw that there were thousands of carriages carrying prisoners of war. This group of prisoners of war was about 10,000 people. In addition, some livestock carcasses were also transported by carriages.

Came back.

When all the carriages entered the city, Zhang Yun followed all the merchants back to the market. He saw a Yizhou military general standing on the platform in the center of the market. Zhang Yun knew that this might be what everyone called He Ye, a member of Yizhou Jingqi.

Partial general.

"Everyone, this time is the same as before. One hundred captives are sold together. Those who buy captives must report to the local government, sign a prisoner labor reform agreement with the government, and rest for up to three years. During this period, if the prisoner dies, the buyer will be responsible. Three years

After that, all the prisoners will have the rights of Yizhou civilians, and they will have to sign a normal labor contract before they can be allowed to work. Okay, now it starts." After He Ye left, a few soldiers escorted a hundred prisoners to the stage. At this time, many people began to take a closer look.

Only if these prisoners are strong enough and smart enough can they consider how much money it would cost to capture them.

"I'll pay three thousand yuan!" A buyer directly shouted the price without looking at the captive.

"Is there any extra money for three thousand yuan?" Qu Chang, a soldier on the stage, asked. To become a Qu Chang, one must be a third-rate general at the very least.

"I want to sell a hundred strong Qiang prisoners of war for three thousand dollars. I'll give you ten thousand dollars." At this time, someone shouted.

"I'll pay you just in case!"

"I'll pay eleven thousand five!"



"I'll pay sixteen thousand yuan!"

Zhang Yun heard a middle-aged businessman next to him shout loudly, and he looked at him in surprise. Sixteen thousand yuan converted into five baht is about 3.7 million yuan, which means that these one hundred people

Each prisoner of war is worth more than 10,000 yuan, which can buy five cows.

After the businessman shouted, no one shouted the price again. It was obvious that his status was not low, and many people present gave him face, so he directly took the one hundred prisoners of war.

"I don't know what to call this gentleman? I came from Jingzhou to buy cattle. I don't know what to do with these prisoners of war. It will be difficult to make back the cost after spending so much money in three years!"
