Chapter 282 Horses

Seeing Wang Daocheng like this, Zisheng felt suspicious in his heart. He stepped forward and blocked Lu Fang behind him, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife around his waist, and shouted, "Turn around and lift your head." There was a cold murderous aura in his words.

Wang Daocheng had no choice but to turn around slowly. Zisheng whispered to the college leader. The leader looked carefully for a moment and shook his head affirmatively, saying that he was not his own. Zisheng stuffed his finger into his mouth and whistled. After a while, four or five personal soldiers rushed over and surrounded Wang Daocheng.

"Who are you and who made you come here."

"I was named Wang Daocheng, who was originally from Tingzhou. I came to Hangzhou to sell tea, but there was no instructor. However, after I entered the city, I heard that Lu Jun ordered the collection of dirt and felt that he could definitely get what he needed. This dirt was a worthless thing. If I could make a profit, wouldn't it be a business without profit? I was a businessman. In this troubled world, I was just a matter of running around thousands of miles in danger of losing my head. So I sneaked into it at the risk of pursuing profits, so I sneaked into it at the risk of pursuing my life and wanted to understand it." Wang Daocheng knew that this was the critical moment that was related to his life, so he quickly picked up the motivation and process of sneaking into it and explained it clearly. After that, he stared at Lu Fang's mouth tightly, waiting for his destiny.

"You said you are a tea merchant, so what certificate do you have?" Zisheng asked loudly.

"My friend and the convoy rested in the inn in the east gate. You can send someone to check it out."

Zisheng turned around and saw Lu Fang nodding, then turned around and ordered a personal soldier, who turned around and left.

When Wang Daocheng saw Zisheng sending someone to check, the heart hanging in his throat finally came down a little. After all, the person in front of him was still reasonable, and he didn't kill him indiscriminately. After all, by confronting his friend, he could confirm whether what he said was true or false.

Lu Fang suddenly pointed to the dirt with white crystals piled on the stove and asked, "Do you understand the production methods I just mentioned?"

When Wang Daocheng heard this, he was about to say that he was far away from him, but he didn't understand so that the other party would not worry about leaking the secret. However, he suddenly saw a narrow-minded look in Lu Fang's eyes, and immediately changed his mind and replied: "I heard six or seven in the crowd, and I don't know if it's clear."

"You listened for a while and it was good to be able to listen to six or seven points." Lu Fang nodded in praise, and suddenly pointed to the stove and said, "Let's try it, I want to see how much you have figured out."

The soldiers surrounded Wang Daocheng immediately made a way out. He had to come to the stove and according to his memory, he started to do it one by one. After a while, he had just finished it. Only after he finished it, he felt a slight sting of his hands, but he didn't know that it was burned by the fire. He looked up and saw dozens of people around him staring at him, but no one made a sound. Only the sound of horns from the working labourers came from a distance.

"Ba, bha!" A sudden burst of applause broke the silence, but it was Lu Fang's applause. "It's indeed a talent that can be done by just one side. You should be good at learning," the following sentence was said to the apprentice. Wang Daocheng was about to thank him a few words, but he heard Lu Fang continue, "If you said you didn't learn it, then you're afraid that you're already in a different place at this time. Do you want to know the reason?"

Wang Daocheng was shocked when he heard this. Before he could speak, Lu Fang had already spoken on his own: "If you said you didn't understand it just now, you would be either lying or being idiot, and lying is damn. As for idiots, I, Lu Renzhi, naturally, have no interest in continuing to deal with an idiot. It's better to kill them."

"Lu Renzhi?" This name has a much greater impact on Wang Daocheng than all the words said from Lu Fang just now. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, pointing at Lu Fang and asked, "Are you Lu Renzhi who captured Hangzhou City in three days and killed King Qian Miao of Yue?"

"Yes, it's a certain family."

Wang Daocheng immediately sat on the ground. He had previously judged that the other party's status was not low through the knife that he had matched with his own waist. However, he never expected that the person in front of him who was dressed in gilt clothes and personally explained the craftsmanship to a group of apprentices by the pile of dirt was actually the supreme ruler of the two prefectures of Hu and Hu, and the third-rank Hu, the Hang Observation Commander Lu Fang and Lu Renzhi.

At this time, Zisheng had already rushed back and whispered a few words in Lu Fang's ear. Lu Fang nodded and smiled: "You are not lying. You are indeed from Tingzhou to Hangzhou to sell tea. It's okay, now you can find a way to convince me to spare your life."

Wang Daocheng was confused by Lu Fang's words and looked at the other party in confusion. Lu Fang was not upset and explained carefully: "Although you are here to sell tea, you should not be a spy from other forces, but after you go back, you will not tell others what you know. The safest way is naturally to kill you all. If you want to go back alive with your companions, the only way is to take out a greater advantage than this secret to buy me."

Wang Daocheng was stunned by Lu Fang's naked intimidation and extortion. After thinking for a while, he said a few words. Lu Fang shook his head repeatedly, saying that these things were not worth the secret. Wang Daocheng said helplessly: "Then the biggest price we can give is the tea brought by this trip. May the messenger use these teas to spare our lives?"

"Look at you who are very smart just now, why are you so confused? How much is your tea leaves worth it? As a third-rank official, how can I lack money? Besides, if you kill you, all these tea leaves will belong to me, so why do you need to give it to me?"

When Wang Daocheng heard this, he was sweating profusely and could only lower his head to think. Lu Fang was not in a hurry, and stood aside with a smile, nor urged him. Wang Daocheng knew that the lives of the group were all on him, and he wanted to find something that could touch the person in front of him. He was inspired by what Lu Fang said just now, and knew that no matter how precious it was, how could he not get a hand as a third-rank high-ranking official, let alone judged from his usual reputation, the person in front of him did not look like a mediocre person who wanted to enjoy. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wang Daocheng's mind and said loudly: "Ma, if I had a good horse to offer to my lord, it might be the life of our group?"

Lu Fang became interested when he heard this. In ancient times, the importance of cavalry was self-evident. An infantry unit with good organization and good training may win on the battlefield, but it is difficult to make the most of its victory, because the power of infantry lies in a good formation, but it is difficult for infantry to maintain the formation during the pursuit process and it is easy to lose order. If the opponent has a strong cavalry unit, he can counterattack and turn defeat into victory. Therefore, an infantry unit without cavalry can easily fall into a hundred wins and cannot eliminate the opponent, and he can lose one.

Then the entire army was wiped out. Mo Ye had already lacked war horses. When he was in Huzhou, he only had more than a hundred horses. After capturing Hangzhou City, he obtained more than 400 of the spoils. However, this number of war horses was difficult to complete even the task of detecting the enemy and covering the two wings of his own marching, let alone attacking the enemy's formation and launching a surprise attack. Lu Fang had always wanted to buy from his neighbors, but strategic materials such as war horses were not easy to buy. Now, when Wang Daocheng said this, he couldn't help but ask with interest: "Your home is in Tingzhou, where the climate is humid and hot, where is the good horse?"

Wang Daocheng saw that Lu Fang had been moved, and knew that his group's lives were all on this war horse, so he quickly rang the railway while it was hot: "Of course there is no Tingzhou, but I had dealt with a Hu merchant. He owed us some payment for goods. He once said that there were high-quality horses on their side, which were far better than our war horses. If I agree, I can transport them to compensate for the payment for goods."

After hearing this, Lu Fang lost interest and said, "Even if you can transport a few horses in the vast ocean, what can you do to save? Some family is not using them for their own riding, but to enrich the military supplies. Are you cheating me?"

"Where are you going down there? It's just that although there are short horses in the south, there are still some local slow horses that pull the cart. These horses are short and slow to react, and cannot be used as war horses. If you send some high-quality horses to breed carefully, the horses will grow very quickly, but in the Year of the Rat, there will be many war horses."

After hearing this, Lu Fang knew that the other party was panicked and looked for a way out. However, his main battlefield now is in the south, and his opponents don’t have many cavalry, so he won’t be able to use it in a short period of time. The person in front of him looks smart and capable, and he is quite brave. It would be great if he could use it for himself. Besides, now he has an outlet to go to the sea. If he can get to know more Hu Shang, it would be considered a way out. Then he asked casually: "Where is Hu Shang from?"

Seeing Lu Fang’s question, Wang Daocheng knew that his life must have been saved. He couldn’t help but secretly rejoice and replied carefully: “Hu Shang’s source is chaotic, and I don’t know. However, this family members are all covered with black veils and worship the West five times a day.”

Lu Fang immediately became more excited after hearing this. He heard that the Hu man should be a Muslim. Could he recommend the Arab horse, which is the best passenger horse among native horses in the world. Many famous modern war horses have their genes. China has also used it to improve Mongolian horses and southwest horses, which has a very good effect. If you can get a batch of Arab horses to improve the slow horses in your territory, it will definitely have a good effect. Thinking of this, Lu Fang said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you once you go back. After you go back, you will order twenty horses with the Hu Jia. No, fifty stallions, regardless of the price, if it can be done, I will have a lot of rewards."

Upon hearing this, Wang Daocheng asked carefully: "I'm going to ask, are my guys still tea?"

"They are all tied to me, and I will give you three months. If you do it, I will not only let them go, but everything is easy to talk about in your business. Even if you get a job with me, it is not impossible. If it cannot be done," Lu Fang's voice suddenly stopped. Wang Daocheng knelt deeply on the ground, feeling a chill all over his body.
