The main reason was that almost every one of the more than 200 Xiongnu cavalrymen was equipped with two war horses. Even though some of the Xiongnu cavalrymen's horses died or were disabled during the battle, Sun Hao and his team finally collected nearly 400 intact war horses.
In addition to the 480 grassland war horses, the Four Cavalry also had 120 spare Anlu horses.
The Anlu horse is produced in the Anlu Kingdom in the Western Regions. It is tall with long limbs and has the characteristics of great strength, speed and endurance. It is the most famous BMW in the Western Regions, and each one is worth a thousand gold.
It can be seen how much cost Liu Dongqi spent to form the Four Cavalrymen.
Of course, Sun Hao would not sell these 120 Anlum horses.
Now Sun Hao, Shi Biao, Li Mao and the three brothers of the Gao family each rode an Anlu horse.
Taishi Ci hesitated for a moment and then said to Sun Hao, "Master, since a large number of disaster victims have gathered outside Ganyang City, the city gates are strictly checking people entering the city.
In order to prevent a large number of disaster victims from pouring into Ganyang City, the city gate tax was raised to 400 copper coins per person. However, horses and goods were exempt from the city gate tax.
The city gate tax is nothing to us, but if we want to enter the city with so many troops, I'm afraid we have to show the name of General Sun."
Sun Hao also knew that if more than a hundred well-equipped cavalrymen had no connections, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate would never let them pass.
"Since this isn't the first time I've used his name, I might as well borrow it again.
As his son, I have come all the way to see him, so I can't even be barred from entering the city gate!"
At this time, in a military camp in Ganyang City, Sun Zhe asked a dark-skinned middle-aged man, "Ah Hu, is there still no news about Sun Hao at the city gate?"
Wei Hu said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, General, I have sent my soldiers to all twenty gates of Ganyang City.
As soon as the young master arrives, our people will be able to pick him up."
Wei Hu was the commander of more than 300 family soldiers under Sun Zhe. When Sun Zhe was still a sergeant, Wei Hu was a soldier under his command.
Sun Zhe frowned and said, "Don't call him Young Master, lest the Cui family hears and cause more trouble.
Now is the critical period for me to fight for the position of Zuowei Dutong, and I don’t want any unexpected problems to happen.
When Sun Hao arrives, you should first put him in an inn.
I can't see him for the time being. Everything will be decided after I become the commander-in-chief of the Left Guard."
