C12 Cao Bao's Hobby
In the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three big cavalry units, one of which was the Western Coldsteel Cavalry, the second was the White Horse Cavalry, and the third was the Pill Yang Cavalry. In other words, the cavalry unit was famous for their cavalry, and the cavalry unit required horses.
In the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was illegal to sell weapons on such a large scale. What Chen Yu did was smuggled, but fortunately, Chen Yu's family status saved him a lot of trouble, and with the loose laws of the imperial court, he managed to sell weapons to the Pill Yang without any obstructions. His goal was clear, and that was to sell them the Taiping Road.
It could be seen that the power of the Taiping Dao in the Danyang was far inferior to that of the Yingchuan and the Nanyang. Chen Yu easily found the Taiping Dao in the Danyang, and here, he saw the Taiping Dao's Danyang, General Tian Qiu.
Tian Qiu was a very kind person. As soon as they met, Chen Yu handed Guan Hai's jade pendant to Tian Qiu.
Tian Qiu smiled as he looked at Chen Yu, saying, "Even if you are Guan Hai's friends, there will be no estrangement between us. Tian Qiu smiled as he looked at Chen Yu, saying," Even if you are Guan Hai's friends, there will be no estrangement between us.
"I can sell the weapon, but the price..." Chen Yu smiled faintly.
"Hur hur, name a price, I want them all." Tian Qiu blurted out. Dan Yang lacked iron. Tian Qiu needed this batch of weapons too much.
In the end, he sold this batch of weapons at twice the market price. This made Tian Qiu extremely happy, weapons were priceless in Dan Yang, and he himself did not dare to brazenly build them. Chen Yu's batch of weapons was a timely rain, with this batch of weapons, the Danyang Taiping Society gained an initial combat strength.
Once the business was done, the atmosphere between Chen Yu and Tian Qiu became lively.
"Commander Tianhe, there's something I need your help with."
"Feel free to speak."
"I want to buy a batch of horses. Can you contact them for me?"
Tian Qiu was stunned for a moment before sighing, "Danyang does have some horses, but I'm afraid the quality of the horses in this property is not good enough for Young Master. I'm afraid the army was brought in from Youzhou, and they are of pure lineage, but they are monopolized by the army."
"Oh, I see. Is there any way to get a batch of horses from the army?"
"This, is very difficult." Tian Qiu frowned and slowly said, "However, if Young Master is willing to spend a large amount of money to clear it, there's still hope."
"Oh? "Tell me about it." Chen Yu narrowed her eyes.
"I have heard that the Pill Yang Army has recently eliminated a batch of horses to serve as the second-line packhorses. Although these horses are old, they are all of good quality and should be able to meet the young lord's requirements."
"How can I get this army?"
"About this, as long as Cao Bao agrees to transfer the troops, we will naturally succeed."
"Can you introduce me to Cao Bao?"
"It's not hard to see Cao Bao, but this person is not very easy to talk to, unless you give him what he wants."
"Give it to him?"
"Right, General Cao Bao loves to befriend brave warriors the most. If they give him what he says, it will be much easier."
"Brave warrior?" "Haha …" Chen Yu slightly smiled, two elegant arcs appeared between her lips.
Danyang, the house of the field officer, Cao Bao. On this day, three men, one old and two young, led by Chen Yu, had come to visit. The Taiping Road had many connections with the government, so Tian Qiu and Cao Bao were old acquaintances, and under his introduction, Cao Bao agreed with Chen Yu.
After the gatekeeper informed them, Chen Yu and the other two entered the residence.
"My family's general is practicing martial arts. Please wait a moment." the servant said.
"Take us with you. It's just the right time to experience your Master Cao's martial arts." Chen Yu said.
"Alright then." The servant nodded and brought Chen Yu and the other two to the training field.
On the martial arts practice field, a man dressed in tight clothes wielded a long spear in his hand.
"Good spear art!" Chen Yu cheered loudly.
"Oh?"
Cao Bao stopped and looked at Chen Yu, asking, "You know martial arts too?"
"This subordinate of mine is good at using Iron Halberd. I often saw him practice martial arts, so I know a bit about him." Chen Yu pointed his finger at Wei.
"Oh? He knows martial arts? Come, come, come, let's fight with me! " Cao Bao said excitedly.
"This, how can you be so good in front of Master Cao?" Chen Yu smiled.
"I see this warrior. Although he is young, he has an extraordinary demeanor and is incomparably robust. His martial arts will definitely surpass everyone else, and he will be my friendly in the Martial Competition."
"Very well then. It is better to obey than to be respectful. Hong Fei, accompany Lord Cao for a walk." Chen Yu said to Dian Wei.
"Lord, please." Dian Wei cupped his hands together and took out two small iron halberds from his back.
"Look at the spear!" Cao Bao roared as the tip of his spear drew a strange arc in the air. From an unthinkable angle, he thrusted towards Dian Wei. Huang Wei dodged and actually dodged the spear.
"Tai!"
Dian Wei's small iron halberd smashed down onto the spear's body.
Pow!
The long spear broke, and with a swing of the small halberd, it was already in front of Cao Bao, resting on his throat.
"What a brave warrior, I admit defeat." Cao Bao sighed and solemnly cupped his hands towards Dian Wei.
"Milord, sorry for offending you." Dian Wei kept his small iron halberd and returned to stand behind Chen Yu.
"Mister Chen has such a valiant companion, how enviable!" Cao Bao said.
"There's no need for that. Senior Cao's martial arts are powerful. Hong Fei only relied on his strength to offend many of them." Chen Yu smiled and cupped her hands.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet such a strong warrior today. Today, I'll be heading east to get drunk at the Drunken Immortal Tavern." It could be seen that Cao Bao was a hero of Dian Wei, and had actually taken the initiative to invite Chen Yu and the other two for a drink.
"Hehe, then it's better if we do as you say. We'll just get drunk today." Chen Yu also laughed out loud. The distance between the two of them had shortened by a lot at this moment.
The Immortal Intoxicated Pavilion's wine was indeed delicious. Both parties drank to their heart's content as Chen Yu brought up the matter of him wanting the army and horses to Cao Bao at the wine table.
"Senior Cao, can you sell me those eliminated soldiers and horses?"
"This batch of horses was originally not intended to be sold out, but since we're so lucky, I can give you some."
"How many do you want?" Cao Bao asked.
"Two hundred." Chen Yu blurted out.
"It's a bit big, but it can be done. How about this? If you drink one cup of wine, I will sell you ten horses. How many cups you drink, how many horses will I sell you? What do you think?" Cao Bao laughed.
"Very well, my lord. I shall throw caution to the wind today!"
"Young Master, let me drink for you." Dian Wei said.
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Chen Yu rolled up her sleeves and drank one cup after another.
Today, Chen Yu was really going all out. He really drank ten cups of wine and then collapsed under the table and fell into a deep slumber.
"Hahaha …" Master Chen is truly a straightforward person, I, Cao Bao, will not hesitate, I will sell you one hundred war horses! " Cao Bao was very straightforward as he happily said.
Chen Yu was no longer able to get up, Uncle Fu represented Chen Yu, and he had an appointment with Cao Bao to watch the horses on the field the next day.
Chen Yu was drunk to the point that she no longer cared about the world. Today's wine, he did not need Ding Wei to drink it for him, this was Chen Yu's character, daring to take responsibility, doing what she should do, doing everything she could and doing it to the best of her abilities.
After vomiting for a while, Chen Yu finally entered the dreamscape. In the dream, he once again returned to his hometown and saw his mother …
Military Horse Yard
Dan Yang's military arena was very big, and usually, the cavalry was training in the nearby military arena. Dan Yang's cavalry was a elite troop, and they would train in the military arena almost every day.
Shaking her aching head, Chen Yu breathed out a breath of foul air. Drinking too much wine was really hard to bear. However, as long as she could purchase this batch of military horses and horses, everything was worth it.
When they thought of the military arena, where they had to pass by first, before Cao Bao could arrive, Chen Yu and the other two looked at the cavalry training.
