"Excuse me, is the City Lord Fengyun here?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zhang Shiping, the owner of Zhang's BMW Shop in Zhuo County, Youzhou."
"Oh, what's up?"
"A few months ago, I negotiated with the Lord of Fengyun City, and now I'm looking for him to complete the deal."
"Wait a moment, I'll go report."
Zhang Shiping had never waited for Fengyun, so this time he took the initiative to come to Baicheng for a visit.
This is not to say that Fengyun deliberately avoided seeing him. He felt that Fengyun was too busy and had forgotten about him.
Fengyun was still reviewing his urban planning at this time. When he heard that Zhang Shiping had arrived, he hurried to greet him.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Zhang to come here in person. I was planning to visit you again later."
"I'm afraid that the noble Lord of Fengyun City might forget things. Things are different now. You are no longer an ordinary person. I dare not let you come to my shop."
"Okay, tell me. Did you bring the warhorse this time?"
"Not yet. I don't know how many horses the City Lord needs. Besides, it would take too much time to bring the war horses along, so I came to verify the quantity with the City Lord first."
"No problem. I'd like to know how many horses you can provide, as well as the price and grade of the warhorses."
"Lord Fengyun, we have an old friendship. The price and quality I give you are both low. As for the quantity, it's up to you. I can give you 1,000 horses in half a year."
"Okay, although 1,000 horses is a little less, it's enough. Let's talk about the price and grade."
"Since the city lord wants them all, I'll give you my lowest price. All of them are Level 2 warhorses, 10 gold coins each. How about that?"
When Fengyun heard that a level 2 warhorse cost 10 gold coins, he immediately made the decision.
"Okay, I'll take them all. Do you need a deposit?"
You know, the market price of a level 2 warhorse is 20 gold coins.
The other party did give us the wholesale price for large customers.
In this era, apart from war horses, the only people who could rely on were official carriages.
But the difference between a carriage and a war horse is that a war horse belongs to you and can be dismounted at any time.
A horse-drawn carriage is more like a special car that cannot reach all places and is not cost-effective.
"No need, just pay in full right away."
Zhang Shiping didn't dare ask for a deposit, as it was the key to his rise again.
The last time I gave Liu Bei so much money, it was money he borrowed to raise horses.
As long as he has this order from Fengyun, he can turn things around immediately.
You have to know that this is 10,000 gold coins.
It’s nothing to Fengyun, but it’s a life-saving straw to him.
Zhang Shiping almost knelt down to Feng Yun. The other party paid the money too easily.
"Lord Fengyun is so generous. I will go get the horse now."
Zhang Shiping clasped his hands together and said goodbye to Fengyun, feeling extremely excited.
He only had an investment mentality towards the Emperor Liu, whom he funded.
Although he would not compare himself to Lu Buwei, his judgment of people seems to be good.
Liu Bei had not yet become successful, but the city lord in front of him was someone he met when he made friends with Liu Bei.
Although Fengyun seemed a little outstanding at the time, no one expected him to achieve such success.
Not only did he become the richest man in the world, he was also the master of a city.
This is much more promising than Liu Bei.
Fengyun was not bragging about his own status, he really didn't have time to stay in the city.
Lan Yu has already sent a carrier pigeon message.
"My lord, come quickly! General Zhu Jun will soon launch a general attack."
After seeing the letter, Fengyun was also shocked.
I didn't expect Zhu Jun to act so quickly.
He also followed Zhang Shiping out of the city.
Fengyun directly teleported to the city closest to Lan Yu.
This is another newly added city.
There were many such small cities in the Three Kingdoms period, and they were more like modern counties or towns.
It is centered around the big county towns and serves them.
Not long after, Fengyun reunited with Lan Yu on horseback.
"My lord, I have received accurate information that the imperial army will launch a general attack tomorrow morning."
"Do you know what caused General Zhu Jun to launch the attack?"
"Julu probably ran out of food and fodder. After enduring successive sieges by Generals Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, and Zhu Jun, Zhang Bao probably couldn't hold out."
Fengyun also thought this was the reason.
He had some connection with Zhu Jun. It was because he broke the Yellow Turbans in Changsha last year that the other party recommended him.
"Okay then, let's go find General Zhu Jun and see what we can do."
Lan Yu and his men were not far from the imperial headquarters, and they arrived there in no time.
After revealing his identity, Fengyun successfully entered Zhu Jun's battle.
At the same time, I saw my old acquaintance Cao Ze again in the big tent.
"Long time no see, Marshal, you are still as charming as ever."
When Zhu Jun saw Feng Yun at first, he didn't recognize him and was stunned for a moment.
However, Cao Cao had an amazing memory and said immediately:
"Commander, he is the world's number one adventurer and the richest man. He is also the Fengyun you recommended before."
Zhu Jun finally reacted and raised his hands to apologize:
"Oh! It's General Fengyun. It's been a long time. You are a lucky general of our Han Dynasty. I am relieved this time. With you, I will definitely be able to capture Julu."
"You are truly flattering me. If we can capture Julu, firstly, it will be your credit, Commander-in-Chief, and secondly, the Yellow Turbans are doomed. I have only done my humble part."
Fengyun didn't dare to really respond to this, so he quickly and modestly declined.
"You're too modest. You've been present at every one of these Yellow Turban victories. Honestly, your arrival has truly reassured me."
Fengyun also laughed at this time and said:
"Does your Excellency really intend to launch a strong attack tomorrow?"
Zhu Jun did not deny it and nodded.
"Zhang Bao is almost exhausted in the city now, and I think the situation is almost ripe. Who says His Majesty won't send Xiao Huang to urge him now? But if it continues, the court's food and fodder will also be tight."
"I understand. Thank you for telling me, sir."
"We're all family, so it's okay to tell you. But I'm still worried that if we suffer too much damage from this attack, it will be difficult to cooperate with Huangfu Song to recover the lost territory."
"Then why don't you let the adventurers lead the charge? They are known for their fearlessness."
"I know that, but I don't have anything to give them."
Fengyun also knew that from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, the imperial court had not really issued any major tasks.
Some tasks were issued when the three armies first started.
But later, when their supplies began to run low, they had fewer and fewer missions.
It's no surprise that Zhu Jun felt embarrassed when Fengyun talked about giving him a task.
Fengyun smiled and said:
"Sir, if we win, why don't we let them use the materials on the spot?"
This was clearly stated and Zhu Jun understood it immediately.
But he has to consider the gains and losses.
