Chapter 525: Trading

Heijiaxuanqi, as Shang Ji's direct lineal army, has always been known for his fierce combat power and firm will. It has always been an important target for the outside world to study Pingzhou's military strength. Today, Shang Ji graciously pulled out the black-armored Xuanqi and showed it off in front of the princes of the world.

However, the princes did not have the slightest joy of obtaining confidential information. On the contrary, the appearance of the black armored Xuanqi only made people feel chills and frightened!

This time the military parade Shangji really spent a lot of money, and each of the 10,000 black-armored Xuanqi who participated in the military parade was carefully selected and elite. A normal black-armored black knight is a sixth-rank soldier, but the lowest rank of this ten thousand military parade elite is seventh rank!

As the Black Armored Xuanqi entered the arena, Lu Bu, who had always been relatively indifferent, stood up suddenly, staring at the Black Armored Xuanqi, his eyes were full of disbelief!

There are two things that Lu Bu is most proud of in his life. One is his personal force that is the best in the world, and the other is the invincible Bingzhou Wolf Rider under his command!

Before that, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the black armor Xuanqi were both prefecture-level middle-rank special units, and they were in the middle of the middle. Because of the abundant resources, the Black Armored Xuanqi is slightly better than the wolf cavalry.

However, Lu Bu didn't care about this small gap. He firmly believed that he had enough resources, and the wolf rider would definitely come from behind.

From Lu Bu's point of view, it can be seen at a glance that these black-armored mysterious knights have not only reached the seventh rank in strength, but more importantly, their rank has been promoted to the top rank of the prefecture level!

The gap of the first rank is no less than an insurmountable gap in the high-level special arms. The Black Armored Xuanqi has already left the wolf knight behind, and has no suspense to climb to the top of the first arm in the Fenghuo Huaxia District!

On the other side, Dong Zhuo's expression on behalf of Jia Xu also couldn't help changing. He took a deep look at the mighty and majestic black-armored Xuanqi, then at Shang Ji, waved his feather fan, and regained his indifferent expression.

It needs to be emphasized that Dong Zhuo is still the undoubted number one force in Huaxia District, and even Shang Ji is powerless to compete with it!

At present, Dong Zhuo's forces are composed of several parts, namely the Xiliang Army of Dong Zhuo's direct line, the original Yellow Turban Army represented by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, the Qiang forces headed by Beigong Boyu, and the vassal princes represented by Ma Teng.

The overall combat power of Dong Zhuo's army is far superior to that of ordinary princes. If Shang Ji and Dong Zhuo face each other head-on alone, at most they can rely on the geographical advantage to stick to Pingzhou. As for the counterattack, don't even think about it!

The total strength of Dong Zhuo's army is tens of millions. If all of them are mobilized and the army is expanded regardless of the cost, Dong Zhuo can pull out an army larger than the total population of Pingzhou!

Since Dong Zhuo's comprehensive power is so strong, why would he tolerate the separatist regimes of various princes?

This involves Dong Zhuojun's internal problems again!

Although Beigong Boyu, Zhang Jiao, etc. are generals under Dong Zhuo's command in name, in fact the relationship between the three is more like a collaborator.

Before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, although the Xiliang Army under his command was powerful, the number was too small, and the overall strength was far inferior to Beigong Boyu and Zhang Jiao!

However, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the protagonist's aura was obviously opened.

The millions of elite northern troops in the Sanfu territory did not make any resistance, and obediently accepted Dong Zhuo's reorganization. Five schools of the Northern Army, Habayashi Guards, Jianzhang Gongqi, Huben Army and other high-level special arms with a cumulative total of 500,000 were transferred to Dong Zhuo's command unconditionally.

In addition, after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he basically emptied the imperial treasury, and the financial and material resources in his hands were far beyond what the merchants in the remote Liaodong area could match.

With money and food, it is not difficult to do things. Relying on a large number of high-ranking soldiers, Dong Zhuo trained Xiliang iron cavalry on a large scale to expand the power of his direct line. He also transformed high-level special arms such as Habayashi Guard and Huben Army into his exclusive special arm Feixiong Army.

After completing the luxurious evolution of Snake Tunxiang, Dong Zhuo was able to rely on the power of his direct line to suppress Beigong Boyu and Zhang Jiao and make them obedient.

But even with the help of the Destiny Addition System, the Snake Tunxiang expansion is not so easy to handle!

The conflicts between the old Xiliang Army and the Yellow Turban Army and the Qiang people, the contradictions between the newly attached generals of the Forbidden Army and the old troops of the direct line, the contradictions between the Forbidden Army and the Qiang people, and the contradictions between the Yellow Turban Army and the Forbidden Army. Many of them were life and death enemies before, and in a blink of an eye they became comrades in arms of the same camp. One can imagine how many hidden dangers there are with closed eyes. Dong Zhuo's head turned pale in order to sort out internal conflicts.

In addition, in order to maintain the personality of the virtuous prime minister, he had to endure Yuan Feng, Yang Biao, Zhang Wen and a group of unruly bigwigs in the court who were either overt or covert. Dong Zhuo couldn't even imagine how many civil servants and generals he recruited had other purposes.

The comprehensive combat power of Dong Zhuo's forces can naturally despise the heroes, but how much Dong Zhuo can effectively mobilize, only God knows!

To put it simply, Dong Zhuojun is a giant elephant with a bloated body and a slow heart. Before he sorted out the internal conflicts, he could only watch a group of sideburns grinning outside.

And Shang Ji can only be said to be the bigger one at best, not even the king of dogs.

He has recruited three million elite Northern Army, accepted the Sanhe elite cavalry left by Huangfusong, and controlled some of the elite of the Northern Army's five schools, occupying the entire Bingzhou. Lu Zhi, who is eyeing Dong Zhuo, is the well-deserved number one local force!

Shang Ji can only rank second at best!

Although they are both state herdsmen, Bingzhou herdsmen and Pingzhou herdsmen are completely different.

Theoretically speaking, Lu Bu, the governor of Wuyuan and the general who protects the Huns, should also be under Lu Zhi's command!

Shang Ji was strong, but it was not enough to shock Dong Zhuo. Although the rank of the Feixiong Army is not as high as that of the Black Armored Xuanqi, the number of Xuanqi has exploded. At present, the Feixiong Army under Dong Zhuo's command has swelled to a giant of 500,000, and it is still expanding rapidly.

If Shang Ji wants to train 500,000 black-armored black knights, he won't be able to sell everything!

This is not simply a question of funds. There are 500,000 sixth-rank soldiers, and even if all the 4 million troops in Pingzhou are combed, they will not be able to get so many sixth-rank soldiers!

If the system hadn't been very generous in advancing the black-armored Xuanqi who were less than level six to level six, Shang Ji still couldn't gather an army of one hundred thousand and six levels!

In the general environment where the third rank is the regular army, the fourth rank is the main force, and the fifth rank is the core elite, the sixth rank soldiers have always been the general's personal guards. The number is scarce, and it is difficult to form a large-scale organizational system.

Under the shocking eyes of the princes, the black armored Xuanqi slowly passed the square, and the military parade ended.

"Hahaha, with such a strong army, the frontier is safe, congratulations to Shangping Prefecture!"

As Dong Zhuo's representative, Jia Xu first congratulated Shang Ji.

"Congratulations to Shangping Prefecture. With Shangping Prefecture sitting on the frontier, how can Xiaoxiao dare to invade the border!"

"The military power of the Pingzhou Army is eye-opening, and I admire it!"

………………………

There was a lot of flattery for a while, no matter the truth or falsehood, anyway, there was a lot of flattery in my ears.

"Hahaha, thank you for your good words. I dare not say anything else. I will be in Pingzhou, and I will never allow other races to be presumptuous!" Shang Ji laughed, showing his arrogance to the fullest.

The princes were not angry but happy, and the horses clapped even hotter.

"By the way, everyone, the Xianbei in the east had the audacity to attack the Xianbei tribe in Guiyi. The general was angry and defeated the enemy. He also took the opportunity to collect a lot of spoils, including a large number of high-quality war horses. I wonder if you are interested. ?”

As soon as Shang Ji's voice fell, the princes fell silent instantly. They looked at each other with a look of eagerness in their eyes.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was the dynasty that brought cavalry to its peak. According to statistics, the proportion of cavalry troops in the Eastern Han army even reached as much as 30%. Liu Xiu's pacification of the country relied most on Youzhou Tuqi!

In the flames of war, the role of the cavalry was greatly strengthened, leading the army in battle, without large-scale cavalry accompanying the march, the commander could not even sleep well.

The failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising was also an important reason for the lack of cavalry.

The most important thing to form a cavalry is of course the horse!

At present, Dong Zhuo is undoubtedly the one with the largest number of war horses. The Xiliang Army is famous for its cavalry, so it naturally has a stable source of war horses.

Most of the more than 30 super-large military horse farms in the Han Dynasty have now fallen into the hands of Dong Zhuo, and the Qiang people are also under Dong Zhuo's control. The number of war horses owned by Dong Zhuo is commercially incomparable.

However, Dong Zhuo's family has a big business, and the number of war horses they need is equally astonishing. Relatively speaking, war horses are not rich.

In addition, the princes outside the Guandong are potential enemies of Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo will not provide war horses to the princes of the Guandong on a large scale if his brain is kicked by a donkey.

And how many surplus war horses does Shangji have at present?

More than three million!

Defeating Wuhuan gained a large amount, the six Xianbei tribes contributed a large amount, and defeating the Eastern Xianbei reinforcements harvested another large amount. Counting the contribution from Helian before, Shang Ji had a full 3.4 million horses.

This is the amount after deducting personal use, or more! Counting the poor horses, the number of horses in Pingzhou has exceeded 15 million. The huge number of horses is also a key factor in Pingzhou's rapid development.

However, too many war horses are not all good things. Pingzhou's riding ratio is close to one to one. It is impossible for the cavalry to expand on a large scale.

And the extra war horses became a burden. You must know that even in peacetime, the food and grass needed to raise a war horse far exceeded the rations of a family of five.

There are more than three million extra war horses, which is not a small burden for Pingzhou. Shang Ji intends to keep one million as a strategic reserve, and sell the rest, which can not only reduce a sum of expenses, but also exchange a large amount of funds for the development of Pingzhou.

As for whether the princes will pose a threat to themselves after obtaining a large number of war horses, this question is completely worthless for discussion.

"Shang Shijun, may I ask how many war horses are sold? What is the price?" Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, couldn't help asking first.

There are many plains in Jizhou, which is very conducive to the deployment of cavalry troops. Sitting in one of the most prosperous states in the world, Han Fu is not short of money, but lacks a strong army.

As early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he hoped to form a powerful cavalry force, but he failed due to lack of horses. Now that he has this good opportunity, he must not let it go.

Shang Ji smiled slightly, stretched out a finger and said, "One war horse, ten gold!"

"hiss……"

Suddenly there was a sound of gasping, it wasn't too expensive, but too cheap!
