A piece of news soon swept across the country with Yinguan City as the center.

"What? In the Anhan Trading Company in Yinguan City, someone actually wants to sell a total of 40,000 war horses in twenty days. It's true or false!"

"This is too big, 40,000 war horses. I remember that Zhang Ding and Su Shuang from Jizhou four years ago did the biggest business, which was just selling more than 20,000 war horses to the court at one time."

"Yinguan City is located in Yanmen and is backed by the grassland in the north. This batch of war horses must be very good, and the price is cheaper than that in the Central Plains. Let's buy dozens of horses and take them to Qingzhou and Xuzhou for sale. We will definitely make a big profit!"

"You're thinking too much. There are two rules for selling this time. The first is to only exchange food. The second is to sell for 40,000 war horses together, that is, just buy them at one time by the same buyer."

"What! This is calculated to be six or seven million stones of grain. Even the Zhen family in Jizhou will not be able to raise such a large amount of grain in a short period of time."

"Not to mention a family, I think even the court today can't produce so many at once. What did the seller behind it think? Didn't he think that he would ruin his own business?"

Just as these caravans were frowning, somewhere in Jinyang City, there was a group of people drinking and drinking, and they were so happy.

"Haha, this plan to remove firewood from the cauldron is really amazing. Without food and grass, let's see how Liu He can be arrogant."

A middle-aged man with three beautiful beards smiled happily.

A man in green robe next to him said, "Mr. Yuan is worthy of being the one who is a possessive person in my aristocratic family. This time, his little trick made Liu He's son turn over and he also exclaimed a lot for us and other gentry."

"Although Mr. Yuan has made great contributions, Mr. Chen personally participated in the planning of this matter and even came to Jinyang from Yingchuan to take charge. We should respect Mr. Chen!"

Everyone raised their wine bottles and greeted the old man in gray brocade robe in the middle.

The old man laughed a few times: "Thank you to your love, I am sick and useless, but you are still willing to let me, the old man, come forward to plan, and I am also frightened."

"Mr. Yuan Fang is too humble. The Chen family in Yingchuan is famous and a leader of the gentry. Brother Ling has been in bed for the past two years. Now we naturally have to rely on Mr. Yuan Fang to lead the Qunlun."

"Yes, the counties under Liu He were well-defended. They had sent many batches of detailed works one after another, and they all fell into the sea. The granary was even more vigilant. If it weren't for the great reputation of Chen Gong, a group of literati and students in the city pretended to be injured, and some patrol guards were taken away, and the elite secret agents of the Chen family were sent to attack, the fire would definitely not be burned."

Chen Ji's face was flushed, and he was very proud of himself. He raised the wine bottle and drank it with everyone.

At this time, one of them said, "By the way, news came from outside today that on the tenth day of next month, there will be a large number of war horses for sale in Yinguan City, with a total of 40,000 horses. It is required that only food be exchanged, and all of them must be bought at one time by the same merchant. Mr. Chen, please see this matter..."

Chen Ji was not moved at all, and still had an iconic kind smile belonging to the old man.

"There are only a handful of war horses in the world that can be produced in this world, but it is at this critical moment, and the name is about to be exchanged for food. The person behind it is self-evident."

"Liu He! It must be this boy!"

Everyone was a little suspicious at first, but now when they saw Chen Ji say so, everyone is even more determined to make this guess.

"It's rare to lead troops to fight this Liu He. He has only been to Yanmen for two years and can actually achieve such a big reputation. It's a pity that he has to go against us."

"Mr. Chen, don't we care about this? Forty thousand war horses, and they were all taken from Xianbei cavalry, are definitely not ordinary horses. If this is replaced by food and grass, I'm afraid he won't have to worry about military ration expenses within two years."

One of them said with a sad face.

"Haha, brother is too worried. If the caravan is allowed to trade in batches, even if 40,000 horses cannot be sold for a short time, at least they can be exchanged for food and grass for emergency response. However, he asked a caravan to eat them all. Hehe, as the saying goes, haste is not enough. Liu He is young. When encountering such a big thing, he was anxious and made such a decision. In this way, these war horses cannot be sold."

"Yes, which caravan can raise six or seven million stones of grain in twenty days? Even if a group of caravans raise them together and then let one of them come out for a transaction, twenty days is far from enough."

After everyone said this, the person who asked the previous question was relieved.

"In this way, we can rest assured. Liu He is young and knowledgeable. After all, he is no match for me, haha!"

"Silly, if this child is really ineffective, how could he live to this day?"

Chen Ji's scolding made everyone feel quiet.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Ji said: "This Liu He is not only not stupid, but is very smart. I only know today why this person has developed to this point in just a few years, and then he will be terrifying."

The others looked puzzled.

"But even if Zhang Su and the two giants joined forces, it would be impossible to gather so much food to transport it to Yanmen in twenty days."

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "You all know these things, would Liu He and Cui Jun not know?"

Everyone was speechless, as if this was true.

"Since they know this, why do they still do this?"

Chen Ji said: "Who can make up such a large amount of food in such a short period of time in the world? Think about it, who can do it?"

Everyone looked at each other, but soon they seemed to think of an answer.

"We! Only when we all join forces can we do it, otherwise even the court will definitely not have the ability!"

Chen Ji nodded.

"Yes, Liu He had long guessed that we had set up the fire this time, so he deliberately used war horses as bait to lure us to trade. At that time, his current food dilemma will naturally be solved. As for war horses, hum, on his territory, if we get war horses, can we get out of Yanmen?"

Everyone took a breath of cold air, looking scared.

"This Liu He is really sinister and cunning! In this way, we will work hard to set fire to the fire, and in the end we will not only be in vain, but also contribute a large amount of food to him for nothing. Everyone's mind is so poisonous!"

"So vicious at such a young age!"

These people cursed Liu He one by one, as if they were righteous.

"Mr. Chen, should we notify the neighboring families as soon as possible and let them ignore this transaction?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Ji said: "No, we have to participate, and we are bound to win these war horses!"

“Why?”

"Yes, since we know it's a plan, why do we still have to send food to Liu He for nothing?"

Seeing the people in front of him all had confusion on their faces, Chen Ji sighed secretly, but his face soon returned to normal.

"My man lacks war horses. Whether for the court or for the major families, a group of excellent war horses must be fought for. For the current situation, I am afraid that I don't need to say too much, right? We were suppressed by foreign relatives and eunuchs, and the influence of the gentry in the court was no longer as good as before. We finally took advantage of the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to justify the local power. Once the world changes, these forces are the foundation for our survival. Do we need to say more about the role of war horses?"

Everyone seemed to understand a little, but they still didn't fully understand.

"But for the sake of forty thousand war horses, is it not worth it to let go of the opportunity to destroy Liu He that he finally got? As long as he dies, we will send someone to take over as the prefect of Yanmen. Are these war horses different from us?"

Chen Ji glared at him.

"stupid!"

Just one look and one word seemed to make the seemingly thin old man suddenly burst out with a powerful majesty, making the person who spoke pale.

"The gentry in the world is not entirely united. After all, it is only 20 families who have taken action against Liu He this time. Not to mention the Cui family, Lu family, Huangfu family, and Zhu family all have their own allies. Even if there are many people in the court who have different political views from us. Even if we stand by and watch this matter, there will definitely be someone among them. If they get 40,000 war horses, one day when the world is in dispute, hum..."
