Chapter 743: 10,000 Excellent Turkic War Horses!
Chapter 743
Wang Chong attached great importance to the first transaction with Hulu Yege. If there is no conspiracy in this transaction and everything goes well, then his plan can really be implemented.
If Hulu Yege can bring him the first batch of excellent Turkic war horses, he will definitely be able to bring him the second batch, the third batch, and even more. He was able to continuously obtain a large number of the best war horses from the Turkic prairie to make up for the biggest weakness and flaw of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life.
It's really exciting! Hulu Yege, I hope you won't let me down...
Wang Chong murmured.
Outside the window, the air flow is surging, and the wind is blowing!
No one knew that a storm was gradually sweeping across the entire Western Region from the distant Wushang.
...
Huluyege was indeed as cautious as Wang Chong expected. After the first letter, Wang Chong soon received the second letter from Huluyege.
He even sent a servant to disguise himself as a jewelry businessman and sneak into the city of steel. Before making the first transaction, Huluyege hoped to get a deposit of 100,000 taels of gold.
This point caused a lot of controversy under Wang Chong's command, but in the end, Wang Chong resisted all opinions and distributed one hundred thousand taels of gold to the servants who came.
Those who do great things must have the courage to do great things, and it is absolutely impossible not to take any risks. One hundred thousand taels of gold is really nothing compared to the benefits that Datang can gain in the future.
After the first deposit was sent, the details of the transaction were quickly determined. The time was the next night. After midnight, the transaction was made in a hundred miles northwest of the City of Steel.
However, Huluyegehai also made an additional request, hoping that Wang Chong would be present in person during the transaction.
Time flew by, two days passed by, and soon it was time to negotiate a deal.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the stars were dim, and gusts of wind whizzed through the sky.
In the starry night, figures lined up in neat queues, waiting silently.
Lord Hou, it's been so long, why haven't these Turkic people appeared yet? Could it be that they are not coming?
After waiting for more than two hours,
Cheng Sanyuan finally couldn't help it.
yes! The Turkic people can't be trusted. He knew that the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turkic people were at war, and he sold us horses, which is really suspicious. Could it be that they came just for the one hundred thousand taels of gold, and if they wanted to trade, they should have come long ago.
On the side, Su Shixuan also echoed.
The agreed time for the transaction was midnight, but it was not long before dawn, and Hulu Yege hadn't appeared for a long time, which made Wang Chong's generals a little uneasy.
Haha, don't worry, it's only one hundred thousand taels of gold. Compared with our scheduled transaction amount, this is just a drop in the bucket, nothing at all. With Hulu Yege's eyesight, he would not take it seriously.
Wang Chong's body was straight, with his hands behind his back, and his long hair flying around his temples. Compared to the uneasiness of the generals, Wang Chong seemed much more calm and calm. Even after waiting for two hours, he could not see the slightest irritability.
The Turkic people are different from our Tang people. They don't have such a strong sense of time. The appointment at Zishi has been postponed until now.
Wang Chong said calmly.
When he was hanging out in Beijing, he also dealt with Hu people. Hu is lazy by nature and has no concept of time. He often drinks alcohol at all times, gets drunk until dawn, and continues to drink the next day. The agreed time is often postponed for two to three days before it can be truly achieved.
In addition, the prairie is vast and boundless, and the scenery is the same wherever you go. It is really strange to be free and loose in that kind of place, and to have the concept of time.
If at some point Hulu Yege became so punctual, Wang Chong would actually become suspicious because of this, thinking that Hulu Yege had some kind of conspiracy.
Hoof da da!
While he was talking, a sudden sound of horseshoes came from the night, and this sudden movement immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lord Hou, look there!
I don't know who called it.
Everyone looked carefully in the direction of the sound of horseshoes, and saw a tiny figure galloping from a distance in the night. When they got close, everyone could see clearly that it was a war horse with a long mane and an incomparably handsome appearance.
Looking at the galloping movements, posture, posture, and speed of the war horse, even people who don't understand war horses can feel it. This is definitely a high-quality war horse.
The hooves of the war horses quickly galloped towards the positions of the people. But seeing this war horse, everyone's eyes showed confusion.
Wushang is desolate and remote, there should never be any unowned horses here. And what does it mean that there is only one horse running in such a quiet and deserted night?
Haha, Hulu Yege is indeed a believer, I did not misread him!
Just when everyone was puzzled and puzzled, Wang Chong's ears trembled, and he suddenly heard something and laughed:
Xu Keyi, get ready, it will be time to trade in a while.
Yes, my lord!
Xu Keyi glanced at the wooden box filled with gold beside her, and subconsciously nodded. Although I don't understand what happened, the bounden duty of a soldier is to obey.
No matter what Wang Chong's request is, he will implement it 100% without any compromise.
Rumble!
While he was talking, the weeds under his feet fluctuated and swayed slightly with the airflow, and a low trembling sound came from a distance. At the very beginning, it was still vague and not very obvious, but within a short period of time, the low trembling sound turned into a roar like huge waves crashing on the shore.
look there! look there! So many horses!
Suddenly someone yelled, and soon everyone found out. In the depths of the night, along the northwest direction, countless war horses were shadowy and densely packed, galloping from a distance.
The roar of the earth that everyone heard was the sound of those war horses galloping together.
Hahaha, Prince, we finally meet again...
While everyone was still attracted by the horse, a burst of rough laughter suddenly came from behind the horse. Hey! Suddenly, a sharp and long howling sound came from a distance, and the horses that were galloping like a huge wave suddenly slowed down, and separated from the left and right, and divided into strands.
And in the middle of these separated war horses, several black shadows rode war horses and galloped towards Wang Chong and the others. The leader was slightly fatter, with two fist-sized objects on his shoulders swinging back and forth, making sharp sounds with the howling air, like a devil crying.
Wang Chong recognized at a glance that it was Hulu Yege, the number one Turkic horse merchant.
Hahaha, I was right!
Wang Chong's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. He grabbed the reins of a war horse, leaped, turned over, and rode the horse towards Hulu Yege.
Lord Hou, be careful!
When everyone saw the panic, they hurriedly followed.
In the distance, two war horses met, Wang Chong and Hulu Yege both got off their horses.
Hahaha, Prince Wang, thank you, thank you so much!
Unexpectedly, just as Hulu Yege got off his horse, he got up and gave Wang Chong a warm, big bear hug without saying a word.
Lord Hou!
Before Wang Chong could speak, the others were taken aback by this Turkic man's actions. Chen Bin, Guan Yu and others subconsciously reached out and pressed the sword on their bodies.
Don't panic, he has no malicious intentions.
Wang Chong stretched out a palm to stop the crowd, looked at the overly enthusiastic Hulu Yege in front of him, and said with a broken smile:
Mr. Huluyege, what happened, why did you suddenly thank me?
I want, I want. Prince Wang is really a man of gods. If he hadn't listened to your words this time and paid attention to it, he would have been plotted against by the villain. That bastard, it was in vain that I gave him my heart and handed over all my property to him, yet he treated me like this.
Hulu Yege said excitedly.
Wang Chong was still taken aback at first, but he quickly realized that what Hulu Yege was talking about should be his housekeeper, Yao Luoge. Back in the Western Regions, when Wang Chong left, he had specifically reminded Hulu Yege to be careful of his butler named Yao Luoge. Now it seems that his backhand had played a role.
Prince, can you tell me? How on earth did you find him?
Hulu Yege raised his head, looked at Wang Chong and said excitedly.
After reaching an agreement with Wang Chong, Hulu Yege ran all over the prairie, collected 10,000 of the best horses, and prepared to trade with Wang Chong, and also agreed with Wang Chong on the time of the transaction.
But Huluyege never thought that just yesterday, when he was ready to make a deal with Wang Chong, the housekeeper Yao Luoge, whom he had always regarded as his confidant and trusted, wanted to take this opportunity to take his concubine , and absconded with money.
You know, Yao Luoge is in charge of more than 80% of his wealth. This is the wealth he has accumulated through decades of hard work and risking various risks.
If he hadn't listened to Wang Chong's warning, hadn't been careful when he came back, and had sent people to monitor Yao Luoge day and night to discover his actions in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The reason why Hulu Yege was more than two hours later than the agreed time was also related to this matter.
Now, Hulu Yege is really glad that he listened to Wang Chong's warning. But after this happened, Hulu Yege suddenly had an irresistible thought:
The housekeeper beside me didn't even expect him to betray me, so how did Wang Chong, a Han, know?
Hehe, I naturally have my own way, and Mr. Huluyege doesn't think that only the Western Regions and the prairie have barbarians, right? Besides, how did Mr. Khuruyege think I found you?
Wang Chong glanced at Hulu Yege, with a smile that was not a smile, if there was any deep meaning.
Of course, it is impossible for him to tell him about Yao Luoge, but this matter is showing effect, Wang Chong can clearly feel that Hulu Yege's attitude towards him is very different from before, how much is this effect? The large transactions of two golds cannot be achieved.
As long as Hulu Yege has a good impression of him, then he may be able to continuously obtain excellent war horses from the Turkic prairie through him in the future.
