Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Li Chen rummaged through the warehouse in the backyard, and finally found those white hair dyes.These white hair dyes are a bit like the red dye used to dye sheep red in the countryside in the previous life, except that this is a white powder dye.

Li Chen has finally discovered that there is nothing out of the blind box system that you can't use, the only difference is whether you can use it or not.

A mature system will not only prepare supporting auxiliary tools for you, but also prepare instructions for you.

According to the description in the instructions, this is a very strong hair dye.Once dyed, it can guarantee that the color will not fade for life.

What?You ask, what if the horse grows new hair after losing its hair?

Then I can only tell you that the matter of horse hair growth does not belong to hair dye.

"Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin?" Li Chen shouted outside.

After a while, Cheng Yaojin came, and he said in a low voice, "Master Dian, is your name me?"

"Go, bring me a good horse, the best?" Li Chen ordered.

Not long after, Cheng Yaojin led a tall horse and walked ahead, while Yucheng chased him from behind.

Good guy, Cheng Yaojin has brought Yucheng's race dragon and five-spotted horse.

Cheng Yaojin led the horse to Li Chen, and Yu Chengcheng just caught up with him.

"What are you doing with my horse?" Yu Chengcheng looked at Cheng Yaojin and said angrily.

"The commander-in-chief asked me to lead the horse, so I brought it here. Why are you so stingy, you can still kill and eat meat for you." Cheng Yaojin replied, and then whispered: "But your horse With such a strong horse, the meat must be very strong."

Cheng Yaojin thought that he spoke in a low voice, and he was afraid that everyone except the deaf could hear him.Yu Cheng's face turned dark in an instant, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have given Cheng Yaojin a long memory.

But, it's probably useless to fight like this, Cheng Yaojin is a typical example of remembering to eat but not to fight.

"Master Dian, you want to ride a horse. Tell me if you want to ride a horse, and I will send you the horse." Yu Cheng asked.

Li Chen replied: "I don't ride a horse, let Yaojin lead a horse to try some things."

"Bite gold, go change a horse, just choose a healthy horse from among the military horses." Li Chen ordered again.

Although Xuzhou has few horses, except for the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army.Usually there are two to three thousand horses for scouts to ride.

"Master Dian, you just said you wanted the best horse?"

"In Xuzhou, the best horse is this guy from Chengdu." Cheng Yaojin said angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and lead the horse." Li Chen glared at Cheng Yaojin, a bastard, and said angrily.

It is a good idea to dye Yucheng's Sailong five-spotted horse white.However, Li Chen reckoned that if Sailong's five-spotted horse was dyed white, Cheng Yaojin would have to be beaten purple by Yucheng.

Not long after, Cheng Yaojin brought a healthy horse.This horse is naturally much worse than Yucheng's Sailong five-spotted horse, but it is also very strong as a military horse.

According to the method in the manual, mix a certain proportion of water into the hair dye, and then Li Chen started to dye the horse with the brush equipped with the system.

This dyeing process is roughly equivalent to brushing the horse's hair. The horse not only did not resist during the whole process, but also seemed to enjoy it very much.

Li Chen swiped for about half an hour. After all, it was the first time he did this kind of thing, so he was very cautious during the whole process.It was done very meticulously, without any flaws.

After the whole busy work was over, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chengcheng and Chen Deng who were beside him were completely stunned.

This method of turning a yellow horse into a white horse really belongs to the blind spot of the three of them.Especially Chen Deng, he felt that he had been humiliated by studying hard for ten years.

"My lord, can you still juggle?" Cheng Yaojin replied dumbfounded.

Li Chen cast a glance at Cheng Yaojin, and didn't bother to talk to this fellow.

At this moment, Yu Cheng stared fiercely at Cheng Yaojin, thanks to him catching up, otherwise his racing dragon and five-spotted horse might be dyed white.

"My lord, what's going on?" Chen Deng also asked with a puzzled face.

Li Chen explained: "This is a kind of pigment, just like dyeing cloth in a dyeing workshop. However, this color will never fade. The only disadvantage is that once the horse loses its hair, the new hair that grows is still the original color."

"My lord, do you want to use such a white horse? To exchange horses with Gongsun Zan?" Chen Deng understood Li Chen's meaning in an instant.

Li Chen nodded and asked, "Does Yuanlong think this is feasible?"

Chen Deng looked around the "white horse", looked carefully and said: "This is not only feasible, it is simply too feasible. There is no stray hair on this white horse, and it will definitely sell for a good price."

Li Chen thought in his heart, if he just dyed it, it doesn't have a stray hair?

Li Chen felt that this was not a trick to Gongsun Zan. After all, what he wanted was a white horse, and what he gave was also a white horse?It doesn't matter whether the white horse was born white or turned white later.As long as the horse is white when I hand it over to him, that's enough.

In the previous life, there were water injection pigs, waste oil and so on. Now I have a dyed horse, it shouldn't be too much.

There are two more chapters after today's Chapter 2

Chapter 54 Trading Horses for Horses

Using dyed horses to pit Gongsun Zan, Li Chen can be said to have no psychological burden at all. Anyway, this old boy can't pee in the same pot as himself.

Insert an app: The old version of the perfect replica of the book-chasing artifact can be changed to the source

As for the matter of dyeing horses, to put it bluntly, it is a psychological effect.Whether it's a white horse or a dark horse, they are all the same in terms of foot strength. Li Chen really can't understand why Gongsun Zan insists on being entangled with the white horse.

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

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

Just like the horse he rode this night, Li Chen has always been Reba, and Nazha is also good.There's nothing to be picky about this thing.

"Yuanlong, how many horses do we have in Xuzhou?" Li Chen looked at Chen Deng and asked thoughtfully.

Now under Li Chen's command, Chen Deng and Liu Bowen are the only ministers who can take action. Now Liu Bowen is in charge of Xuzhou's government affairs, while Chen Deng is in charge of Xuzhou's finances.

How many horses and grain are there in Xuzhou City? Ask Chen Deng about this kind of thing.

Chen Deng made some calculations in his mind, and said slowly: "My lord, at present, there are still three thousand healthy horses in Xuzhou City. If it is for transportation, there are many poor horses for pulling carts, but I am afraid that these poor horses are not enough. way to trade."

"Squeeze three thousand horses and there are still some."

"Sure enough, this city is so big, if you want something, you can squeeze it in and there will always be something."

"It's like a woman's penis, which can only be squeezed out if it's big enough. If it's too small, you might not be able to squeeze it out even if you want to."

Li Chen paused, then made a decision: "Reserve one thousand healthy horses for the scouts, and then dye two thousand white horses to come out."

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

As soon as Li Chen said this, Chen Deng immediately said with a smile: "My lord, keep your heart in your stomach. I can guarantee that as long as the news spreads that you have a large number of white horses in your hands, then Gongsun Zan will beg us to make a deal. "

There is a saying, as the so-called scarcity is the most precious, war horses are a scarce resource in this era, and white war horses are even more scarce among the scarcity.So once Gongsun Zan knew that Li Chen had enough white horses.Then, according to Gongsun Zan's enthusiasm for white horses, he will definitely find ways to make a deal with Li Chen.

For Li Chen, it would be best for Gongsun Zan to come to the door on his own initiative.After all, let the other party take the initiative to come to the door, he will definitely be able to grasp a greater initiative.However, what Li Chen wants now is not just Gongsun Zan's visit, but Gongsun Zan's visit as soon as possible.

The heavy rain near Xuzhou has come to an end recently, and as soon as the muddy condition of the road improves after the heavy rain, Cao Jun may launch another attack on Xuzhou at any time.

Li Chen wants to buy horses as soon as possible, and then complete the expansion of the army.Otherwise, when Cao Cao really came to fight, why would he want a horse.The light cavalry fought deep guerrilla warfare, while the heavy cavalry fought frontal shock warfare.

But neither the Lancers, nor the light cavalry or heavy cavalry could defend the city.If you want Cao Cao to surround Xuzhou, it will be useless to ask for cavalry yourself.

Li Chen said with a worried face: "Yuanlong, time doesn't wait for me, this matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible."

Chen Deng smiled and said to Li Chen: "My lord, when can we turn two thousand black horses into white horses?"

Li Chen pondered for a while, and then secretly calculated in his heart: "It takes less than half an hour to dye a horse, but this matter cannot be leaked and can only be dyed by trustworthy people."

"According to the number of Jin Yiwei, one day, at most two days is enough."

Counting the time as close as possible, Li Chen hurriedly replied: "One day, at most two days is enough."

Chen Deng nodded, and then Li Chen said: "My lord, this is it. After the two thousand horses are finished dyeing, you can ask General Yaojin to drive the horses around outside the city. Remember that the momentum must be magnificent." Bigger."

Business in this era is basically controlled by the aristocratic family, and the rules of the aristocratic family are generally for the eldest son or the more outstanding children to become officials.Most of the incompetent partial house disciples were assigned to their own chambers of commerce to be responsible for making money for the family.

Most of these aristocratic families will choose a large warlord force to join them.Just like the Chen family took refuge in Li Chen, and the Mi family took refuge in Liu Bei.Even those aristocratic families that did not turn to the warlord forces on the surface were inextricably linked with these warlord forces secretly.

Therefore, it can basically be concluded.Among these aristocratic families in Xuzhou City, there must be some people who have business contacts with Gongsun Zan.

Merchants extend in all directions, and once a large number of white horses appear in Xuzhou City, those aristocratic families related to Gongsun Zan will inevitably seek benefits from them.

A day later, two thousand dyed horses were slaughtered, and the speed of slaughter was comparable to the water-injected pigs in the previous life.

After the [-] dyed horses came out, Cheng Yaojin immediately drove the horses around the city of Xuzhou.Soon, news spread that Li Chen had obtained two thousand white horses, and that he was going to form a white horse righteous army.

Beyond Xiaopei, on the boundary of Yuzhou.

"Xuande, are you really not going back to Beiping 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 is still Liu Yu. If I go, I will only cause trouble for you." Facing Gongsun Zan's invitation, Liu Bei refused.

Liu Bei rejected Gongsun Zan's invitation, what Liu Bei needed was a foothold.But he couldn't plot Gongsun Zan's Beiping, because Liu Bei prided himself on benevolence and righteousness, and the whole world knew that Gongsun Zan was his senior brother.Now he has nothing but the name of benevolence and righteousness. If he plots against Gongsun Zan, he will lose even the last of benevolence and righteousness.

Gongsun Zan repeatedly invited, but Liu Bei repeatedly refused. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to let him go.The two naturally parted ways. Gongsun Zan went straight to Peiping, while Liu Bei stayed where he was, a little confused.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei sighed heavily and said, "Let's vote for Cao Cao."

Liu Bei and his party in Xuzhou can be said to have accompanied his wife and lost his army. Not to mention that Xuzhou did not get it, and his original Pingyuan County was gone.

Speaking of Gongsun Zan, just after parting with Liu Bei, he saw a guard galloping up to him and said, "My lord, Li Chen from Xuzhou has obtained two thousand white horses. It is said that he will form a white horse follower?"

"What? Li Chen is so shameless. First he used a subordinate who looks like Yun Chang to deceive Xuzhou, but now he wants to destroy my reputation as a white horse righteous follower." Gongsun Zan said angrily.

"You tell the Zhang family to find a way to exchange this white horse. Tell them, I will exchange [-] healthy horses for [-] 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 them are rough horses for civilian use.

Today's Chapter 3 and so on will have another chapter to lay the groundwork, and it will be over soon

Chapter 55 Cavalry has three treasures

On the Xuzhou side, the horse-for-horse business is progressing smoothly.During the entire negotiation process, Li Chen could be said to have firmly grasped Gongsun Zan's thoughts.

In the end, the exchange of one white horse for eight horses with the same leg strength became a deal. Originally, Gongsun Zan planned to exchange [-] horses for [-] white horses, but in the end he paid nearly double the price. healthy horse.

Gongsun Zan needed these white horses, and Li Chen also said that he wanted to form a white horse follower.This was unacceptable to Gongsun Zan. It took him a lifetime of fighting to make Baima Yicong's name resound throughout the world.Now when one mentions Baima Yicong, one can think of him, Gongsun Zan. If Li Chen is also asked to form a Baima Yicong, wouldn't it be messed up to mention this Baima Yicong in the future.

Of course, the reason why the transaction went so smoothly was that Li Chen's two thousand white horses were simply too perfect.No matter what you say about a normal white horse, there will still be some withered, yellow, dull miscellaneous hair.But Li Chen's white horses are different, it can be said that they can't find a single hair.

Of course, from Gongsun Zan's point of view, this is not a loss, after all, these handsome "white horses" can be used as stallions.When the time comes, the big horses will give birth to ponies, and the ponies will grow up and give birth to ponies, so that there will be an endless supply.

Of course, Li Chen reckoned that when Gongsun Zan watched two white horses give birth to a group of young black horses, he would definitely feel what is called a collapsed world view.

After Li Chen and Gongsun Zan reached a consensus on the transaction, the transaction was handed over to the Chen family's chamber of commerce.Li Chen, on the other hand, spent the whole day at home thinking about something that could overturn the entire history of the Han cavalry once it came out.

That's right, the things Li Chen wanted to take out were stirrups, saddles and horseshoes.

There were no such things as saddles, stirrups and horseshoes in the Eastern Han Dynasty.Even after Sima Yi fled to Wei and established the Jin Dynasty, it was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that the horses of princes and nobles gradually had single stirrups.The single stirrups of the Western Jin Dynasty are different from the double stirrups. The double stirrups are used to borrow strength and maintain peace, while the single stirrups are only used to assist princes and nobles to mount their horses.

The single stirrup is the same as the single ponytail, which is of no practical use but for psychological pleasure.The double stirrups and double ponytails are the same principle. They are practical and can maintain balance and leverage when showing some high-skilled riding skills.

It is also because there are no saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes.Therefore, the cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to a high-tech unit. Especially when charging on the battlefield, they needed to maintain balance on horseback while fighting the enemy. This often required cavalry to go through several years or even more than ten years of training. skilled.

Saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes don't have much technical content to put it bluntly, and there are no technical barriers to manufacture.It can even be said that once Li Chen's cavalry is equipped with these things, once they are captured by the enemy, they can be imitated in batches within a few days.

However, it is impossible not to equip your own cavalry with these things because you are afraid of being imitated by others.

Xuzhou is not rich in cavalry, and even the entire Xuzhou army does not have many soldiers who are proficient in cavalry.It can be predicted that once Li Chen's cavalry is equipped with the three treasures of cavalry, even soldiers who are not very proficient in riding can still fight against elite cavalry.

The most important thing is that the cavalry battle in the past was a very labor-intensive thing. Soldiers needed to clamp the horse's belly with their legs to ensure their balance so that they would not fall off the horse. At the same time, they had to fight with weapons.This kind of cavalry battle is a very high-frequency battle that consumes physical strength.

But with the three treasures of the cavalry, the saddle can keep people balanced on the horse's back, the stirrup can be used for strength, and the horseshoe can reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hoof.In this way, Li Chen's disadvantage in the source of cavalry can be said to be completely made up for by horseback.

As the so-called cavalry has three treasures, it is stable, strong, and durable.

Li Chen drew the saddle, stirrup and horseshoe with the memory of his previous life.This kind of simple painting is not difficult for Li Chen, because he has been very talented in painting since he was a child.

At that time, Li Chen was still young and his family was poor, so he had no money to buy paintbrushes.But people are poor and have a lot of ambition. If you have a brush to paint, you have to paint without a paintbrush.Li Chen overcame difficulties and obstacles. He didn’t have a paintbrush and paper, so he used a small water gun to draw on the sheets every night. He could draw everything, including elephants, lions, and tigers.

Just because he liked drawing since childhood, Li Chen was often beaten.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Hall.

"Yuanlong, would you like to take a look at these three objects?" Li Chen, who is very talented in painting, handed Chen Deng the Three Treasures of the Cavalry that he drew overnight.

Chen Deng took the drawing paper in Li Chen's hand, looked at the Three Treasures of the Cavalry drawn on the drawing paper, and fell into deep thought.

Chen Deng is very unfamiliar with saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. For the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is a cross-age product.

Not long after "this", Chen Deng's breath became short of breath, and he seemed to have thought of where it was used.His face is full of shock, and it can be said that he is astonished by such a design.

"My lord, is this used on cavalry?" Chen Deng is worthy of being a unicorn in Xuzhou, and it didn't take long for him to guess the use of the things on the drawing paper.

Li Chen nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, this item is equipped on horses. Not only can it keep the cavalry in balance, but it can also be used for better leverage."
