Chapter 389

Speaking of this, Guan Jing stopped for a moment, as if to make Huangfu and Chaobo digest what he had just said, and then said: "the weapons and horses that these soldiers are equipped with should be provided by our Lord, not by the court as before. It can be seen that in the future, the demand for what soldiers need, whether it is weapons and equipment or war horses, will soar. The general once said that rebuilding Luoyang would cost a lot of money. Now there is a place that can provide a lot of money for the general. Why give up? A few days ago, Jing advised the Lord to increase the number of war horses purchased from the general's war horse base! " Guan Jing is also worthy of being a counselor of Gongsun Zan's subordinates. He soon grasped a problem from Huangfu Chaobo's words, and then said a lot.

Gongsun Zan said in a timely way: "Chaobo, it's true. The main purpose of my brother Xu Wu's coming here is to discuss with you about the purchase of war horses. As long as you agree, I can purchase at least 2000 war horses from you every year. This is also an ordinary war horse, as well as a good horse equipped by my elite white horse Yicong. You can see outside These Baima Yicong are the most elite soldiers of our school. At present, there are only 1000 soldiers. Weixiong plans to expand them to 2000 in three years. Each of them has reached level 55. They can be the commander of the army or even the commander of any ordinary bow cavalry. Not only that, I will equip them with good horses. Unfortunately, the number of good white horses is far from enough, There are only about 500 pure white horses. "

"This After listening to their words, Huangfu Chaobo seems a little moved. His face shows hesitation, but he gives Tian Yu a wink, which means, brother, hurry up. I don't know what to say.

"Lord, don't mistake yourself Seeing the hint of Huangfu Chaobo, Tian Yu immediately stood up and said, "general Gongsun, Lord Guan, we have discussed what you said more than once. It's not that we can't see the power of it, but that we can't allow it now. Two adults should know that our camp outside the Great Wall is only a small valley. It's only a hundred miles away from the Great Wall. Although it's not far away, the location is not good. Every time a horse trainer catches a horse, he has to go hundreds of miles deep into the grassland to find a better group of wild horses. It takes a lot of time and effort to come back and forth. Another reason is that the valley area is too small for us Now there are only a few thousand of us in it. If we train horses, we can store hundreds of war horses at most. "

"It's not easy. Just change the place? Go a little further to the edge of the grassland and find a place big enough to build a small city. Isn't that enough? " Guan Jingdao;

"Lord Guan has a point. He just wants to build a city, which costs a lot of money, manpower and time. Moreover, before the small city is built, what should we do in case of an attack by foreign troops? Even if a small town is built, how many troops are needed to defend it? What's more, if Xianbei people go south in a large scale, how can the small town outside the country be defended? " Tian Yu saw that the other party had slowly entered the urn, so he threw out a lot of problems.

Although Tian Yu has thrown out a series of problems, Guan Jing is well aware of them. In his opinion, these problems have been anticipated before and he has a good way to solve them.

He raised the glass in front of him, drank all the wine in it, then stood up and said, "it's really necessary to build a city. But did general Huangfu ever think that Luoyang is a place of four wars, with Dong Zhuo of Chang'an in the west, Yuan Shu of Nanyang in the south, Zhang Miao of Chen Liu in the East, and Zhang Yang of Hanoi in the north The undercurrent is surging below. There are still three caves in cunning. Doesn't general Huangfu think he should have some cities that he didn't show to others? Comparatively speaking, I believe that the general should be able to make a clear division of the cost of building a city. Compared with the reconstruction of Luoyang's property, the construction of a small city needs only a fraction of the total. What's more, the investment here is not a one-day success. Only the general of Luoyang takes out a small part every month. What's more, once the city is built, the revenue to the general is far beyond the money invested. "

"Well Huangfu Chaobo listened and nodded his head gently. There was nothing on the surface but huge waves in his heart. As expected, he could not underestimate the ancients. This 70 + Intelligence general had so skillfully shifted his goal. It was really powerful!

"The general's real concern is actually the lack of people. In fact, it's Yier. Our army in right Beiping will send out troops every other time to eliminate those who have different intentions. Every time, there are a large number of prisoners. It's just for various reasons that only young people are left to take back to right Beiping. If the general wants, all our prisoners can be handed over to him in the future. He only needs to pay a little money. If the general wants, he can replace them with war horses Yes. In this way, the population problem has been solved. "

"Captivity is only part of the reason. The most important thing is defense. No matter how much captive labor is available, what's the use if we can't guard the city? " Tian Yu asked in reply;

"how many soldiers and horses are there outside the Great Wall in Chaobo now?" Gongsun Zan asked;

"there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses in the base outside the city. It's enough just to protect the horse training base outside the city. Because I want to withdraw the people and horses outside the city, I brought my 400 forbidden guards from Luoyang this time." Huangfu Chaobo thought about it;After a little meditation, Gongsun praised: "if Chaobo wants to, brother, you can let Chaobo choose the soldiers of level 25 or level 6 from the troops of youbeiping, and At this point, Gongsun Zan raised his glass and drank it down. Then he finally made up his mind and said, "there's another thing, brother Wei can give you a thousand white horses. Of course, these soldiers need Chaobo to pay us the recruitment fee. There's another thing, brother Wei has one condition, that is, you must prepare a thousand white horses for us within six months, one year Two thousand white horses must be prepared, whether ordinary or good. "

"White... "The white horse will follow?" After hearing the name, Huangfu Chaobo was so stunned that he couldn't say anything for a long time. After reaction, he stammered and confirmed to Gongsun Zan
