325 Still so obsessed with money!

I saw Xiaobai's mouth open and close again, and after several times, his face turned red - it was obvious that the words in his mouth were a little difficult to speak.

Si Yi's face turned pale: "You said, did you think something happened?"

"Are you injured?"

Ying Zhuo's lips were pursed tightly into a line. Although he didn't say a word, he was obviously paying attention to Xiaobai's expression.

Xiaobai stammered for a moment, covered his small head, and sighed with an adult look: "Our master said that we should go to the horse shed first to see the horse..."

"...I didn't enter the city either, so I went straight to the pastures in the west of the city!"

The girls were dumbfounded!

Looking at the horse in the horse booth? What horse is looking at?

Oh, I remembered it - take a look at the more than 20,000 best war horses that were extorted from the Qin people!

Si Yi couldn't help but touch her forehead... No matter how big the victory Xiong Wuliang won, he was still the familiar wealth-loving virtue!

If you don’t enter the house when you get to the door, go and see the seized baby first... It’s you!

Ying Zhuo's face relaxed, and it was obvious that he was worried about Xiong Wuliang just now. But he was merciless and snorted arrogantly, "It's just 20,000 horses, but what about this?"

Having said that, since Xiong Wuliang had returned to his fiefdom, everyone could not hold back. Si Yi's light proposal made everyone agree with it - so Si Yi, Ying Zhuo, Xiaobai and all the retainers and servants of all sizes rushed to the "horse shed" west of the city together.

...

It is said to be a 'horse roof', but in fact, this grassland covers a large area!

Speaking of which, more than 20,000 skinny horses were rushed back to Quyang County... which surprised Qu Yuan, who was left behind in Quyang County!

Qu Yuan of course understood how great a fortune was for Chu State, more than 20,000 Qin war horses were - he did not dare to neglect it immediately, and immediately drew a large area of ​​land in the western suburbs of Quyang City, where every inch of land was valuable to allow these treasures to rest.

As for the forage and drinking water, all the supply is open!

At the same time, the most ingenious manpower was arranged to cook horses and guard the grassland... Fortunately, Quyang County's infrastructure capacity is amazing now, and it didn't take long to build rows of horse sheds and domesticated sites in the west of the city.

Si Yi, Ying Zhuo, Xiaobai and the Hou Mansion came to this horse farm and saw Xiong Wuliang's bronze cart from afar... When he walked closer, he saw Xiong Wuliang's face full of mischievous looks, and he was attacking the horses...

Pat this and pinch that.

Rub this butt and pat that leg.

The girls were stunned!

...

Xiao Hei, who was beside Xiong Wuliang, saw his sister Xiaobai from afar, couldn't help but look happy, but he still loyally stayed beside Xiong Wuliang, just whispering to remind the latter: "Master, someone is coming to the Marquis' Mansion."

Xiong Wuliang suddenly looked up and saw the girls staring at him with contempt... Even though Xiong Wuliang was extremely thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem, long time no see..." Xiong Wuliang laughed, approached Xiaoyi and pinched the latter's face.

Si Yi looked up and down at Xiong Wuliang, touched everywhere, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lihua said with rain: "It is said that this battle is thrilling and tragic, and I don't expect you to make a lot of contributions, as long as you are not injured..."

Xiong Wuliang smiled and said, "What are you panic? Can the Qin people's swords hurt me?"

This is very well-pretentious, but Ying Zhuo next to him doesn't like to hear it very much... Ying Zhuo was relieved when he saw that Xiong Wuliang was not seriously injured, but said arrogantly: "Hmph, I just won by three-pointer... Although I, Daqin, have lost, but my energy is still there, and I will take back the lost things sooner or later!"

As a Qin man, how could Ying Zhuo not know the importance of [Wuguan]?

If you lose Wuguan, Xianyang will not be able to sleep well!

Xiong Wuliang glanced at Ying Zhuo and sighed in his heart again that the latter's figure was really bulging and sticking out of his back... While he said sarcastically, "Hehe, the Qin people can't take back these 20,000 war horses."

"The purpose of this marquis is to eat something in his mouth, so don't even want me to vomit back."

"Tsk tsk, these are more than 20,000 best Qin war horses... In our Chu State, there is a price but no market, and no matter how much money you have, you can't buy it!"

"You Qin people are so good. They actually gave it to this marquis at a price that is almost free..."

Ying Zhuo looked at Xiong Wuliang's lazy and shameless appearance and rolled his eyes in anger - How could this guy look like a monarch of a great country?

"We should have let the Black Bingtai Assassin give you a sword long ago..." Ying Zhuo bit his silver teeth and stared at Xiong Wuliang angrily. His plump breasts fell and rippled... and caused Xiong Wuliang to take a look several times.

...

Raising horses is very expensive. The maintenance cost of more than 20,000 horses is even higher than raising 20,000 ordinary garrison soldiers.

All the foods are the best forages, and you have to add a nutritious meal from time to time... The water you drink is also good water after strict quality inspection.

If you hold a thousand iron coins in your hand, you may be able to buy a strong slave in the market, but you will definitely not be able to afford a good war horse - in this era, the price of a good horse is much more valuable than human life.

"Master, these are the best war horses... After screening, some of them were injured and might be lame..."

"There are some war horses that have not eaten for a long time, which has damaged their vitality. Even if they are well-behaved, they will not be able to recover completely." The official in charge of the horse farm said, with unconcealed regret on his face.

Xiong Wuliang nodded - this was not beyond his expectations.

When the Qin army under Bai Qi's command traveled through the uninhabited Danyang land, these war horses were seriously injured - they had no food or drink, and they had to run wildly.

The only source of food is the dead grass under the snow. After passing through the Danyang land, these war horses were already hungry and were shaking.

"How many war horses are expected to recover as they were?" Xiong Wuliang asked.

The horse-raising official scratched his head, feeling helpless: "Report to the Lord—it should be about 15,000 horses..."

Xiong Wuliang sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, those lame and injured horses are not worthless - at least they can pull carts or plow the land. In Chu State, any livestock is a precious treasure.

Ten thousand war horses... Although they are much less than Xiong Wuliang imagined, they also have great value!

Maybe... Xiong Wuliang can use these 5,000 excellent war horses to form the first established cavalry of Chu!

Cavalry, that is the future development trend of the battlefield!

If you can hold a cavalry in your hand that is worth fighting, you can fully reduce the dimensionality of those enemy troops without cavalry. Just by being able to surround the back road and rob the baggage with the mobility of the cavalry, it will be enough to make the old-fashioned army that combines chariots and infantry in a mess and have no choice.

This just ended the second Danyang War... Fortunately, the battle started in winter, and the cavalry of Qin did not play the advantage of interspersed and detoured mobility...

Otherwise, the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Qin army could have shit out of the heads of the Chu army!

After Xiong Wuliang finished visiting the horse farm, he waved his hand and led the girls straight back to the house. With a big deal in mind, he didn't care about being entangled with Xiaoyi, but went straight to Qu Yuan's residence.
Chapter completed!
