The 721st Auction
"Hahaha, General Shang, long time no see, the battle on the grassland was really fun!"
From a distance, I saw Lu Bu strolling towards him, with a resolute and heroic temperament exuding from the inside out, which made people feel very kind and easy-going.
Shang Ji took a surprised look at Lu Bu whose temperament had changed drastically. If his appearance hadn't changed, he really wouldn't dare to recognize him.
"My lord, Cao Xing, pay my respects to General Zheng Bei!"
It was only then that Shang Ji noticed Cao Xing behind Lu Bu, followed the prestige, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
At this time, Cao Xing's complexion was rosy and his face was radiant, but from time to time, uncontrollable vigor leaked from his body, as if there was something wrong with his body control.
Shang Ji is very familiar with this state, and it is a typical reaction of the new force not yet able to perfectly control the breakthrough not long ago. And according to Cao Xing's occasional aura, Shang Ji concluded that he has successfully broken through to an S-rank general!
"Excuse me, excuse me!" Shang Ji first waved his hand to signal Cao Xing to get up, then turned to look at Lu Bu: "If what I see is correct, this general Cao Xing must have just made a breakthrough recently, right? Congratulations, Fengxian!"
"Hahaha, the general's reputation is too high. General Shang's powerful generals are like clouds, and Xinsheng (Cao Xing's character, which I made up again) has made a small breakthrough, so he can't be in the general's eyes!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly, speaking humbly, but he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.
"This general, Guan Xinsheng, is full of vigor and strength, much stronger than ordinary S-rank generals who have just broken through. I must have had some adventures!"
Looking at Lu Bu who was showing off a little, Shang Ji asked very cooperatively.
"The general's insightful eyes can see through reality at a glance." Lu Bu smiled cheerfully and explained the ins and outs of the future.
When Lu Bu was rectifying the Southern Huns, he accidentally obtained a S-level military general inheritance. In the last battle of Xianbei before, it was Cao Xing who led his troops to kill Bu Dugen and helped Lu Bu win the heart of the king-level city. Lu Bu gave this S-level inheritance to Cao Xing, allowing Cao Xing to break through to become a top S-level general.
And the origin of this inheritance is also quite extraordinary, his original owner is a very controversial figure in history - Li Ling!
Li Ling, the eldest grandson of the parachutist Li Guang, and the posthumous son of Li Danghu. He has a prominent family background and could have become a famous general of the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that in the first battle of leading the army alone, he was defeated and captured for various reasons, and then completely surrendered to the Hungarians for some inexplicable reasons. The experience is quite legendary.
Li Ling has only one record in history, but this battle is enough to make him an S-rank general.
With 5,000 infantry, he fought alone on the grassland against the 80,000 elite army led by the Xiongnu Shanyu. He fought fiercely for eight days and nights. Although he was finally defeated and captured, he killed more than 10,000 enemies during the battle. If the arrows were not exhausted in the end, and there was no reinforcements, I am afraid that the Huns would really not be able to take down the five thousand infantry.
According to historical records, Li Ling was quite good at shooting, and the army he commanded was also known for being good at shooting. In the battle against the Huns, he shot 500,000 arrows a day, and even before being captured, he lamented that a few dozen arrows per person would be enough to successfully break through.
And Cao Xing is most famous for being good at shooting, which fits perfectly with Li Ling's inheritance, and it can be said to complement each other.
The two were talking, but another person came in, and it was Zhang Yang who took a closer look!
At this time, Zhang Yang looked a lot more decadent, far less energetic than he was under Ding Yuan before. When Ding Yuan died, Gongsun Zan wanted to annex Ding Yuan's remnants. Zhang Yang saw that the situation was not good, and quickly led his troops to flee westward and defected to Lu Bu.
Later, Lu Bu recommended Zhang Yang to Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi recommended Zhang Yang as the prefect of Hanoi. It's just that unlike more and more separatist princes at present, if you are a prefect under Lu Zhi, you don't even think about separatist regimes. Lu Zhi will not allow this kind of thing to happen.
As soon as they greeted Zhang Yang, several more people came in, including Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian.
Among them, although Sun Ce is only thirteen years old, he is already eight feet tall and has a hulking waist.
"I've seen General Zhengbei, I've seen General Huxiong Zhonglang!"
The two juniors didn't dare to mess around, they saluted respectfully and said hello.
Shang Ji was not familiar with Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, but he smiled like a master and said, "So it's Bo Fu and Zhao Dao, you two have come a long way and have worked hard!"
After saying hello, the two left hand in hand.
But with Shang Ji and Lu Bu's hearing ability, they clearly heard the discussion after they left.
Sun Ce: "That is the rumored God of War Lu Bu, it seems nothing special, I will definitely be better than him in the future!"
Yuan Yao: "That is the famous Pingzhou herdsman Ji? It doesn't seem to be very fierce!"
Han Dang behind Sun Ce and Ji Ling behind Yuan Yao immediately turned bitter, and turned to look at Shang Ji and Lu Bu almost at the same time, cupping their fists and smiling wryly.
Shang Ji and Lu Bu looked at each other with a smile, and waved their hands to signal Tongyan Wuji, don't worry about it.
Then people from all walks of life entered the arena one after another. Dong Zhuo represents Dong Min, Yuan Shao represents Gao Gan, Han Fu represents Min Chun (Han Fu's confidant), Liu Bei represents Guan Yu, Cao Cao represents Xiahou Dun, Gongsun Zan represents Gongsun Yue, etc., of course, there are also a group of large player power leaders such as Yanhuang Liren.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shang Ji smiled at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, let's go in too!"
"General Shang please first!"
"Together!"
The Heavenly Level Auction House was obviously carefully arranged by Mrs. Zhen, with gorgeous and magnificent decorations. And it has many exclusive functions of the auction, it seems that this auction house itself is a special building.
Entering the private room that Mrs. Zhen specially prepared for Shang Ji, Mrs. Zhang has been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Shang Ji coming in, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly got up to greet him, and thoughtfully sent a list of each box.
Shang Ji glanced at it roughly, and didn't care too much. This kind of thing is a secret to outsiders, but it is not a secret at all to those who are interested, and you can see it casually.
After sitting down, a beautiful maid will naturally bring melons, fruits, tea, etc., as well as a detailed introduction of the auction items.
"All heroes have come from afar, and on behalf of our company, I would like to thank you all for your support!"
A slightly familiar voice came to his ears, and Shang Ji subconsciously looked up, and found that the person standing in the hall presiding over the auction turned out to be his old acquaintance Li Cai!
"Li Cai is smart and capable. He is good at mobilizing the atmosphere and controlling his psychology. He is most suitable for the job of auctioneer." Zhang explained in a low voice beside him.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang stood beside Shang Ji with a low eyebrow, as if she had brought herself into the role of a maid.
Shang Ji glanced at her, noncommittal.
"Everyone is a busy person. It is a great honor to be able to take time out of your busy schedule to visit this account. The little old man is not talking nonsense. Our auction is now officially starting. Please invite the first auction item of today—— ——The Divine Artifact Shennong Cauldron provided by Nanyang Prefect Yuan Gong!"
"Wow!"
There was a commotion from the crowd, and no one expected that the first auction item at the beginning would go directly to the artifact.
"The Shennong Cauldron, according to legend, was cast by the Shennong Clan. Using this cauldron to refine elixirs has miraculous effects. The starting price is five million gold!"
"General, quickly bid, ten million gold!"
Mrs. Zhang next to her immediately urged in a low voice.
Shang Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and motioned to raise a placard of 10 million gold.
"Okay, the VIP in Box No. 6 bids 10 million gold! Is there a higher price? 10 million gold once, 10 million gold twice, is there a higher price? 10 million gold three times! OK , Congratulations to distinguished guest No. 6, who successfully won the auction of the artifact Shennong Ding at a price of 10 million gold!"
In the No. 3 box, Yuan Yao opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the Shennong Ding being taken down. It took him a while to realize that he turned to look at Ji Ling and said, "Ji... General Ji, our Shennong Ding It sold out so quickly??"
Ji Ling's face jumped when he heard this, and his face was a little gloomy. Although the transaction price was twice the starting price, 10 million yuan was still too cheap for Shennong Ding, and the name Shennong alone cost more than 10 million yuan! If it wasn't for the fact that no one under Yuan Shu's command could use the Shennong Ding, he would never have put it up for auction.
"General, according to regulations, the auction house takes a 15% commission, and you only need to spend 8.5 million!" Zhang whispered beside him.
Shang Ji glanced at her, but didn't speak. If it weren't for Zhang's deliberate calculations before, Shang Ji would not take advantage of this, and it should be 10 million. But now, it doesn't matter if they only give them 8.5 million, Pingzhou has to charge another transaction tax!
In other words, taking this Shennong tripod alone, the Zhen family is losing money!
"Okay, congratulations to VIP No. 6 for winning the artifact. Let's auction off the second item - a full set of six special arms training cheats provided by Yongninghou, Pingzhou Mu, and Zhengbei General Shanggong!"
"The training cheats provided by the general are quite good, including three grades, especially the low-grade special troops at the prefectural level, which are extremely rare in the whole Han. Under normal circumstances, it is not surprising that if you are lucky, you can sell tens of millions of gold.
However, the cheats provided by the general have a fatal flaw. The maximum limit of 100,000 greatly reduces the value of the cheats. And then there are two prefecture-level special arms cheats, Meteor Guards and Elephant Soldiers. To be on the safe side, we deliberately put the general's auction item at the top! "
Mrs. Zhang explained in a low voice beside her.
Shang Ji nodded and did not speak, but listened to Li Cai continued: "A total of six special arms cheats are packaged and sold. Including three grades of Xuan-level middle-grade, Xuan-level high-grade, and prefecture-level low-grade, they are powerful and special weapons in the heyday of the Xiongnu. Arms. The Xiongnu have relied on this grassland for hundreds of years, heroes who want to make great achievements must not miss it, the starting price is five million gold!"
"Five million gold!"
After a moment of silence, a nervous voice suddenly came from the hall.
Shang Ji glanced at it and lost interest. The people who participated in the auction in the hall on the first floor were basically low-level characters. This kind of thing is not something they can get their hands on.
Sure enough, almost as soon as the voice fell, someone continued to shout: "Six million gold!"
This time the voice still came from the hall, obviously the real boss wanted to wait and see again.
"Prefecture-level low-grade special troops are still heavy cavalry. This kind of army can be compared with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under the command of Hun Zhonglang, the black armor Xuanqi under the command of Pingzhou Mu, and the flying bear army under the command of Dong Xiangguo. With this strong army , why worry about not being able to accomplish something great?"
Li Cai chuckled, and a slightly bewitching voice sounded in everyone's ears, giving people the illusion that with this cheat book, they could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shang Ji, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo and others.
"Eight million gold! Alright, the VIP in Box No. 8 offered eight million gold. Is there anyone else higher than eight million gold?"
"Box No. 8 belongs to Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang County."
Mrs. Zhang introduced Shang Ji very intimately.
