The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 194 Pegasus Ranch
In the southwest of Jingling County, Zhangshui and Jushui, two tributaries of the Yangtze River, delineate a large area of ​​fertile plains in the shape of a triangle.

The climate is mild, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant. In one of the huge fields, the pastures are especially rich. Surrounded by mountains, the fertile field is surrounded by more than ten square miles. There are only two canyons to enter and exit. The situation is dangerous. A natural screen is formed.

In this paradise like a fairyland, there are densely distributed all kinds of livestock: white sheep, yellow or gray cattle, and horses of various colors.

On the higher ground in the northwest corner, there is a majestic castle, leaning against a steep cliff like a wall. Sigh to be magnificent.

Here is the Pegasus Ranch.

A super ranch with a history of 160 years and seven owners, the scale is almost abnormal.

Cavalry is undoubtedly the most powerful arm in the ancient military.

Even though there are some classic battles in history in which the infantry was defeated, the reason why those battles are classic is that they are rare.

Generally speaking, unless it is deceived by strategy or hindered by the needs of the situation, infantry has nothing to do with cavalry.

How can a man with two legs outrun a horse with four legs?Not to mention anything else, just walking away with a pat on the horse, traveling thousands of miles away, is enough to make the infantry dumbfounded.

Good horses have always been produced in the north, and although there are also Yunnan horses, Sichuan horses and other horses in the south, those low horse breeds can be used as pack horses, but it is difficult to use them for fighting. Otherwise, there would not be so many in the Southern Song Dynasty The soldiers collapsed under the Northern cavalry.

But the existence of Pegasus Ranch broke this law!

According to Master Huang, this is the best ranch in the world, with tens of thousands of war horses, and even the Li Clan, who is located in the north and is in league with the Turks, all come here to purchase.

Even though Chu Tianxiu could directly purchase war horses in the Liaodong area through sea trade, even after he took down the Tamna country south of Baekje after several twists and turns, he ordered people to set up a special horse farm there, using To breed and raise horses.

With the unique landforms and rich pastures of Tamla Kingdom, it is also a first-class horse farm, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Chu Tianxiu has a horse farm, he does not have a good breed of horses in hand, because although he can get a horse from Horses were bought on the prairie, but most of those horses were gelded. They belonged to the kind of horses that could ride and run, but they were fancy and unusable.

Not to mention, given Chu Tianxiu's current rigid demand for forming a cavalry unit, the number of grassland horses purchased from the grassland can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Chu Tianxiu naturally attaches great importance to such an important matter, so he specially dispatched more than 30 merchant ships from Piling, in the name of the Money League, set off from Piling County in a mighty way, along the Yangtze River waterway Traveling westward all the way, after arriving at Xiangyang City, they changed to horses and ran towards Jingling.

Xiangyang City is the number one fortress in the south, and its military significance is extraordinary.Therefore, Chu Tianxiu also encountered a lot of unscrupulous little gangsters trying to trick him along the way.

If it is said that there are officers and soldiers sitting in Xiangyang City, and the form is a little better, then the environment outside Xiangyang City is already a hell on earth, and the surrounding towns are already full of wars, not only bandits and bandits are everywhere, there are even officers and soldiers. The battlefield where the rebels repeatedly attacked and killed.

It is clearly the beginning of spring, the season for planting spring wheat, but on the road to Jingling, Chu Tianxiu seldom sees people and farmers, and the corpses and farmers that occasionally appear on the side of the road The white bones are strong evidence of the tragedies that happened on this land.

The hair is like a leek, cut back to life, the head is like a chicken, cut off and sings again, officials should not be feared, and ordinary people should never be taken lightly.

Such a barren scene, even a hard-hearted person can't help but be moved when he sees it, so that Chu Tianxiu even understands a little bit why Shi Feixuan would work so hard for Li Shimin's eyes for the sake of all the people in the world, so that it is too late. She's so cheeky, she's become obsessed.

Chu Tianxiu's bad mood lasted until he walked into the Pegasus Ranch, and found that it was a scene of singing and dancing, peace and tranquility, which was obviously due to the achievements of this generation of ranch owners.

Especially after Chu Tianxiu entered the Pegasus Ranch and met Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, his good mood became even better. The rising gloom dissipated a lot in an instant.

Shang Xiuxun, the current owner of Pegasus Ranch, a peerless beauty who dares to love and hate, not only has peerless beauty, but also dignified, wise and brave.

The beautiful black hair poured down on her shaved shoulders like two small waterfalls, and the elegant attire highlighted her outstanding face and bronzed and shiny delicate skin, exuding a scorching youthful and inspiring look. The enviable healthy breath.

Even Chu Tianxiu, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help feeling a little lost. She was a little sluggish for a few breaths before she regained her strength.

Beautiful, really beautiful.Purely in terms of beauty, Shang Xiuxun was probably the only one among the beauties that Chu Tianxiu had ever seen that could compare to Wan Wan.

It's just that, compared to the poppy-like charming temperament of Houhou, Shang Xiuxun's appearance is very elegant, a kind of elegant and heroic flavor, but it also contains the talents of everyone. Some charm and temperament.

If the image of Wanhou is like an elf girl that only exists in comics, then in Chu Tianxiu's eyes, Shang Xiuxun is clearly like a peerless beauty who came out of an ancient painting.

"Business owner, you should know why I came here. It's nothing else but to buy a batch of horses. In terms of quantity, I don't set an upper limit. I want as many horses as the owner can average out. The same is true for the price. , as much as the owner thinks the price should be, then set the price. Anyway, the city owner"

Originally Chu Tianxiu came to Pegasus Ranch to buy horses, so he naturally had a low price in his heart, but after he saw Shang Xiuxun, he couldn't help changing his mind a little, and said boldly.

"Brother Chu is very generous! I don't worry about you taking advantage of this to trick you and cause you to bleed for a while." Shang Xiuxun said with a smile.

"The reputation of Pegasus Ranch is stronger than real gold and silver. How could I not believe it? If I can make an exception for you, the owner of the farm, then what can I do if I suffer a loss?" Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but Haha laughed.

The name and reputation of Pegasus Ranch have been accumulated since the previous dynasty. How could the reputation accumulated little by little be given up because of a big deal?
Not to mention, even if Shang Xiuxun's name doesn't match, he really cheated himself out of money and made him want to buy this batch of horses at a higher price. Not bad things are real money——

Now he really has a gold mine in his hand, and there is more than one!
Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but find Chu Tianxiu's hearty attitude very interesting, and his goodwill greatly increased.

Over the years, she, the current owner of the Pegasus Ranch, has indeed received many powerful people, and she has met all kinds of picky guests, but she has never met such a hearty and interesting person as Chu Tianxiu , causing her lips to curl up slightly, her eyes to narrow slightly, and she said in a good mood:
"Since Mr. Chu is so forthright, I should also be more refreshing! There are about [-] new horses in our ranch, and after excluding the inferior horses and the horses that have already been booked, there are about [-] horses left. About [-] horses, I can make the decision and sell all of them to you. As for the price, let’s follow the official price on the market, so that you will not suffer, and I will not suffer.”
