Chapter 194 Pegasus Ranch
In the southwest of Jingling County, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Jushui, demarcate a large triangular fertile plain. The two rivers gurglingly flow through, irrigating the fertile fields on both sides, and finally merge into the river.
The climate is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant. In one of the huge fields, the pasture is particularly rich. It is surrounded by mountains and covers more than ten square miles of fertile fields. There are only two east and west gorges for entry and exit. The situation is dangerous.
Forms a natural shield.
In this fairyland-like paradise, various types of livestock are densely populated: white sheep, yellow or gray cattle, and horses of various colors, each enjoying their own leisure and rest, adding color to the entire farm and pasture.
In the northwest corner of the higher ground, there is a magnificent castle built, backed by a cliff as steep as a wall. There are watchtowers and watchtowers at dangerous and key points. There is also a winding river in front of the castle, which makes people even more excited.
It's spectacular.
This is Pegasus Ranch.
A super ranch that has a history of 160 years and has experienced seven owners. It is so large that it is almost abnormal.
Cavalry is undoubtedly the most powerful branch of the ancient military.
Even though there are some classic battles in history where infantry defeated cavalry, the reason why those battles are classic is because they are rare.
Generally speaking, unless they are strategically deceived or the situation demands it, infantry has no choice but to use cavalry.
How can a man with two legs outrun a horse with four legs? Not to mention anything else, just patting the horse and running away thousands of miles away is enough to make the infantry stunned.
Shang Xiuxun, the current owner of Pegasus Ranch, is a person who dares to love and hate, a peerless beauty who is not only extremely beautiful, but also dignified, wise and courageous.
Especially after Chu Tianxiu entered the Pegasus Ranch and met the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun, his good mood became even better. He was originally in a good mood because of the tragedies he had seen along the way.
The rising depression dissipated a lot in an instant.
The north has always produced good horses, and although the south also produces Yunnan horses, Sichuan horses and other horses, those low horse breeds can only be used as pack horses, but they are difficult to use for raising troops in battles. Otherwise, there would not be so many in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The soldiers collapsed under the northern cavalry.
Xiangyang City is the number one fortress in the south, and its military significance is extraordinary. Therefore, along the way, Chu Tianxiu also encountered many unscrupulous little assassins who tried to make plans for him.
If there are officers and soldiers stationed in Xiangyang City, and the situation is slightly better, then the environment outside Xiangyang City is already a hell on earth. The surrounding towns are already in flames of war. Not only are bandits and rogues everywhere, but there are even officers and soldiers and
A battlefield where the rebels repeatedly attacked and killed.
With the unique landforms and rich pastures of Tamna Kingdom, it is also a first-class horse breeding farm. However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Although Chu Tianxiu has a horse breeding farm, he does not have good horse breeds on hand, because although he can make a living from
Horses can be purchased on the grassland, but most of those horses have been gelded, and they are the kind of horses that can ride and run, but are not considered useful.
"Brother Chu is very generous! I don't worry about you using this to trick you and cause you to bleed for a while." Shang Xiuxun said with a smile.
Beautiful, so beautiful. In terms of pure beauty, Shang Xiuxun is probably the only one among the beauties Chu Tianxiu has ever seen who can rival Huan Huan.
Such a desolate scene, even a hard-hearted person could not help but be moved when he saw it, so much so that Chu Tianxiu even slightly understood why Shi Feixuan would go to all the people in the world and work tirelessly to open Li Shimin's eyes one by one, so much so that he did not want to
Shameless, to the point of going crazy.
Even Chu Tianxiu, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but feel a little lost. He was slightly sluggish for a few breaths before he regained his composure.
Not to mention, with Chu Tianxiu's current rigid demand for forming a cavalry unit, the number of prairie horses purchased from the prairie can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
It was obviously early spring, the time to plant spring wheat, but on the road to Jingling, Chu Tianxiu rarely saw people and farmers, and the corpses and farmers occasionally exposed on the roadside.
The bones are strong evidence of the human tragedies that occurred on this land.
If the image of Huanwan is like an elf girl that only exists in comics, then in Chu Tianxiu's eyes, Shang Xiuxun is clearly like a peerless beauty who stepped out of an ancient painting.
Chu Tianxiu naturally attached great importance to such important matters, so he specially mobilized more than 30 merchant ships from Piling, under the name of the Money Alliance, and set out from Piling County along the Yangtze River.
The waterway went all the way west until it reached Xiangyang City, then took horses and rushed to Jingling.
Chu Tianxiu's bad mood even lasted until he walked into the vicinity of Pegasus Ranch and found that it was a peaceful and peaceful scene of singing and dancing, which was obviously due to the contribution of this generation of ranch owners.
However, compared to the poppy-like charming temperament of Hanwan, Shang Xiuxun's appearance is very elegant, with a kind of elegant and heroic atmosphere, but also contains the talent of a lady.
Some flavor and temperament.
"Shopping mall owner, you should be clear about the purpose of my visit. It's nothing else but to purchase a batch of war horses. In terms of quantity, I don't set an upper limit. I will take as many horses as the owners can produce. The same goes for the price.
, whatever price the venue owner thinks should be charged, then he will set the price. Anyway, the city owner "
But the existence of Pegasus Ranch breaks this law!
Originally, Chu Tianxiu came to Pegasus Ranch to buy horses, so he naturally had a low price in mind. However, after he saw Shang Xiuxun, he couldn't help but change his mind slightly and said boldly.
Even though Chu Tianxiu could directly purchase war horses in the Liaodong region through sea trade, even after he took over the Tamna Kingdom south of Baekje after many twists and turns, he ordered people to set up a special horse farm there to use
To breed and raise horses.
In Master Huang's writings, this is the best ranch in the world, with thousands of war horses. Even the Li clan, who is located in the north and is in cahoots with the Turks, comes here to purchase.
Her beautiful black hair poured down on her sharp shoulders like two small waterfalls. Her elegant attire highlighted her outstanding face and tanned and shiny delicate skin, exuding hot youth and freshness.
An enviable healthy atmosphere.
If your hair is like a leek, it will grow back after being cut; if your head is like a chicken, if it is cut and it will crow again, you should not be afraid of the officials, but you should never take it lightly by the common people.
"The reputation of Pegasus Ranch is stronger than real money. How can I not believe it? If I can make you, the owner of the farm, make an exception, what will happen to me if I suffer a loss?" Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but think after hearing this.
Hahaha laughed.
The name and reputation of Pegasus Ranch have been accumulated since the previous dynasty. How could the reputation accumulated bit by bit be given up because of a large business deal?
Not to mention, even if Shang Xiuxun's name does not match his name, he is really greedy for money and has cheated himself hard, causing him to buy this batch of horses at a higher price. But for him now, in the end, it is
The only thing that is not bad is real gold and silver——
Now he really has a gold mine on his hands, and there are more than one!
Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but feel very amused by Chu Tianxiu's cheerful attitude, and his good impression increased greatly.
Over the years, she, the current owner of Pegasus Ranch, has indeed received many wealthy people and picky guests, but she has never met such a cheerful and interesting person as Chu Tianxiu.
, which made her curl her lips slightly, narrow her eyes slightly, and said in a good mood:
"Since Master Chu is so happy, I should be happy too! There are currently about 5,000 newly released horses in our ranch, and after excluding the second-class horses and the horses that have been reserved for a long time, there are about 100 horses left.
About three thousand horses, I can make the decision and sell them all to you. As for the price, just follow the official price on the market, so that you don't suffer a loss and I don't suffer a loss either."
