Li Chen had no psychological burden when using dyed horses to trap Gongsun Zan. Anyway, this old boy could not pee in the same pot as him.

To put it bluntly, it is a psychological effect. Whether it is a white horse or a dark horse, his foot strength is the same. Li Chen really couldn't understand why Gongsun Zan had to worry about the white horse.

Look at Li Chen, he is not confused at all.

Although Li Chen is not good at riding a horse during the day, he is good at riding a horse at night.

For example, Li Chen has always been a horse riding this night, and Nazha has always been a good match. There is nothing to be picky about in this thing.

"Yuanlong, how many horses are there in our Xuzhou?" Li Chen looked at Chen Deng and asked in a deep voice.

Now under Li Chen's command, only Chen Deng and Liu Bowen, the civil officials who took action. Now Liu Bowen is responsible for handling Xuzhou's government affairs, while Chen Deng is responsible for Xuzhou's finances.

How many horses and grains are there in Xuzhou City? It is absolutely true that Chen Deng asked about this kind of thing.

Chen Deng calculated slightly in his heart and said slowly: "Lord, there are still three thousand horses in Xuzhou City. If it is transported, there are many slow horses to pull a cart, but these slow horses may not be able to trade them."

"There are still some squeezing one and three thousand horses."

"Sure enough, this city is big, and there are still some things you want to squeeze in."

"Just like a woman, you can only squeeze out if you are big enough. If it is too small, you may not squeeze out even if you want to."

Li Chen paused and made a decision: "Leave a thousand strong horses for scouts, and then dye two thousand white horses."

"It's just Yuanlong, we just had a conflict with Liu Bei, I'm afraid Gongsun Zan may not trade with us easily."

As soon as Li Chen said this, Chen Deng immediately smiled and said, "Lord, keep your heart in your stomach. I can guarantee that as long as you spread the news that you have a large number of white horses in your hands, it will be Gongsun Zan who begs us to trade."

There is a saying that, as the saying goes, things are precious because scarcity is precious. In this era, war horses are scarce resources, and white war horses are even more scarce among scarcity. So once Gongsun Zan knows that Li Chen has enough white horses in his hands, then, based on Gongsun Zan's fanaticism about white horses, he will inevitably find ways to trade with Li Chen.

For Li Chen, it is best for Gongsun Zan to come to the door actively. After all, if the other party takes the initiative, he will definitely be able to take the initiative. However, what Li Chen wants now is not just Gongsun Zan, but to ask Gongsun Zan to come as soon as possible.

The heavy rain near Xuzhou has ended recently. After the heavy rain sounded that the muddy road surface improved, Cao's army could launch an attack on Xuzhou at any time.

Li Chen wanted to buy a horse as soon as possible and then complete the expansion of the army. Otherwise, when Cao Cao really came, what's the point of asking for a horse? Light cavalry can fight a large-scale guerrilla war, and heavy cavalry can fight a frontal impact war.

But no matter whether it is the lancers, light cavalry or heavy cavalry, it is impossible to defend the city. If Cao Cao wanted to surround Xuzhou, it would be useless to ask for cavalry.

Li Chen said with a worried look on his face: "Yuanlong, time is not waiting for me, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible."

Chen Deng smiled and said to Li Chen: "Lord, when will it be possible to turn two thousand black horses into white horses?"

Li Chen pondered for a while, then thought to himself in his heart: "It will take half an hour to detour a horse, but this matter cannot be leaked, but only people who can trust it can do it."

"According to the number of people in the Jinyiwei, one day, at most two days is enough."

Calculate the time to be almost the same, Li Chen hurriedly replied: "One day, at most two days is enough."

Chen Deng nodded, and then Du Li Chen said, "Lord, this is the case. After the two thousand horses are dyed, you ask General Yaojin to drive the horse around the city, remember that the momentum must be more generous."

The business in this era was basically controlled by aristocratic families, and the rules of aristocratic families were generally the eldest son or relatively excellent children to serve in the official position. Most of the non-family disciples were arranged to their own chambers of commerce to be responsible for making money for the family.

Most of these aristocratic families would choose a large warlord force to surrender. Just like the Chen family surrendering to Li Chen and the Mi family surrendering to Liu Bei. Even those aristocratic families that did not surrender to the warlord force on the surface secretly had close ties with these warlord forces.

Therefore, it can basically be concluded that among these aristocratic families in Xuzhou City, there must be some business dealings with Gongsun Zan.

The merchants are well-connected. Once a large number of white horses appear in Xuzhou City, those families associated with Gongsun Zan will inevitably seek benefits.

One day later, two thousand dyed horses were already slaughtered, and the speed was so fast that they were comparable to the water-filled pigs in their previous lives.

After two thousand dyed horses were slaughtered, Cheng Yaojin immediately rushed around the city of Xuzhou. Soon, the news that Li Chen got two thousand white horses and wanted to form a white horse was spread.

Outside Xiaopei, on the boundary of Yuzhou.

"Xuande, are you really not going back to Peiping with Brother Wei?" Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei and said seriously.

"Senior brother, I won't go with you. After all, the governor of Youzhou Prefecture is still Liu Yu. If I go, I will only cause trouble for you in vain." Faced with Gongsun Zan's invitation, Liu Bei refused.

Liu Bei refused Gongsun Zan's invitation. What Liu Bei needed was a place to stand. But he could not plot against Gongsun Zan's Beiping, because Liu Bei claimed to be benevolent and righteous, and everyone in the world knew that Gongsun Zan was his senior brother. Now he had nothing, only the name of benevolence and righteousness. If he planned Gongsun Zan, even the last benevolence and righteousness would be lost.

Gongsun Zan invited him repeatedly, but Liu Bei refused again and again. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to let him go. The two naturally parted ways. Gongsun Zan headed straight for Beiping, while Liu Bei stayed in the same place and was a little confused.

After thinking about it for three years, Liu Bei sighed heavily and said, "Let's go to Cao Cao."

Liu Bei, a group of Xuzhou, was able to say that he accompanied his wife and had his troops. Not only did Xuzhou not get it, but his Pingyuan County was gone either.

After talking about Gongsun Zan's side, just after parting with Liu Bei, a guard rode his horse to him and said, "Lord, Li Chen from Xuzhou has obtained two thousand white horses, and it is said that he will also form a white horse, Yicheng?"

"What? Li Chen is so shameless. He first used his subordinates who looked similar to Yun to deceive Xuzhou. Now, can he want to destroy my name as a white horse? " Gongsun Zan said angrily.

"You tell the Zhang family to find a way to exchange this white horse. Tell them that I will exchange tens of strong horses for these two thousand white horses." Gongsun Zan ordered.

The Zhang family is the spokesperson of Gongsun Zan in Xuzhou, and they usually sell some horses, of course, most of which are civilian slow horses.
