    In the battle with Zhang Xiu, he suffered a lot from the Xiliang cavalry.  If it were not for the bravery of his generals, it is still unknown whether Cao Cao could have defeated Zhang Xiu.

    After the war, Cao Cao was very angry. Why are you two like this? Cavalry is great. If you have the guts, don¡¯t use cavalry.

    Of course, Cao Cao would not say this, otherwise he would not be Cao Cao.

    The best way to deal with cavalry is undoubtedly cavalry. After Cao Cao looked around the map, he realized that all the places where horses were produced were occupied by others.

    So he could only send a special envoy, hoping to get a war horse from Liu Zhe.  Of course, he did not forget Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, and he also sent special envoys there.

    Among them, Cao Cao had the greatest hope for Liu Zhe, because Liu Zhe had previously agreed to buy and sell a large number of horses.

    "Oh, that's right," Liu Zhe suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Okay, you can just go to the Ministry of Commerce directly for this matter."

    Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping from the Ministry of Commerce are in charge of horse trading, and they are handling this matter.

    "Lieutenant, this" Jiang Ji faltered a little.

    "What's the matter?" Liu Zhe asked curiously. Jiang Ji, who had been calm and composed just now, suddenly became like this, pretending to be embarrassed to speak.

    Finally, after Jiang Ji hesitated for a while, he spoke.

    It turned out that Cao Cao was not rich, so he hoped that Liu Zhe could give him some face and make it cheaper for everyone's acquaintance.

    After listening to this, Liu Zhe felt very funny. It turned out that Cao Cao was short of money.

    What Liu Zhe didn't know was that Cao Cao was really depressed. He was in charge of such a large territory, but he didn't have much money in his hands. If he told anyone about it, he would be laughed to death.

    "But there is no way. Cao Cao's place has suffered great damage. It's hard to know how long it will take to recover."

    " Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Jiang Ji to find Liu Zhe. He could have sent someone to the Youzhou Department of Commerce to buy horses. Why let Jiang Ji find Liu Zhe and expose his situation to Liu Zhe?

    After Jiang Ji finished speaking, he looked at Liu Zhe worriedly and told Cao Cao's financial crisis. This was a great risk. If Liu Zhe disagreed and knew that Cao Cao was short of money, he would be greedy and send troops.  If you attack Cao Cao, it will be miserable.

    "Taiwei, Duke Cao often talks to us about the days when we fought against the Yellow Turbans with you. He often lamented that if there were more loyal ministers like Taiwei in the world, the world would be peaceful." Jiang Ji continued to speak, this is  Playing the emotional card.

    Liu Zhe felt even more amused after hearing this. This shows that Cao Cao was really embarrassed, otherwise he would not have let his subordinates say such compliments.

    How many more people like Liu Zhe are there?

    "If this is the case, it will be Cao Cao's turn to have a place in this world. Cao Cao wishes Liu Zhe would disappear from this world immediately so that he can feel at ease.

    In fact, it is not impossible to buy war horses for Cao Cao, and the war horses Liu Zhe sells are inferior to Youzhou's own war horses, so he is not afraid of facing them in the future.

    But if it is sold to Cao Cao so easily, it will be too cheap for him.

    Liu Zhe pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible to sell it to Brother Meng De cheaply."

    Jiang Ji looked happy when he heard this, but before he could thank him, Liu Zhe continued: "But I want to know if he will use it against me in the future?"

    Jiang Ji calmed down his joy and stood up with a serious expression. He assured Liu Zhe: "This will never happen. My lord has already said that we are all loyal ministers of the imperial court. How can we attack each other?"

    Even the loyal officials of the imperial court came out, and the flattery was loud and clear. It can be seen that in order to buy a horse, Cao Cao also risked his life.

    "Okay," Liu Zhe pretended to think about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

    Jiang Ji was overjoyed.

    Liu Zhe smiled and said to Jiang Ji: "Now, let's talk about the price."

    The smile on Jiang Ji¡¯s face suddenly solidified.

    "Why, do you think this horse is a free gift?" Liu Zhe continued to smile, with a smile on his face that looked like a profiteer.

    Jiang Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Liu Zhe's words. Just now when he saw Liu Zhe agreeing so easily, he really had the illusion that Liu Zhe was giving it away for free.

    He laughed awkwardly, and then asked: "I wonder how many war horses the Taiwei is willing to sell to us?"

    Liu Zhe did not answer directly, but asked: "How much do you want? Five thousand? Ten thousand? Or twenty thousand?"

    Hearing that Liu Zhe seemed willing to sell no matter how much he got, Jiang Ji couldn't help but drool, wishing he could sell Liu Zhe??All the horses were packed up and sent back to Yanzhou.

    But Jiang Ji also knew that with so many war horses, the prices were not cheap.

    He asked tentatively: "I wonder what the price is?"

    "Fengxiao!" Liu Zhe smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia to appear.

    Liu Zhe then left. These matters did not require his personal involvement, and he was too lazy to participate.

    Guo Jia stood up with a smile and looked at Liu Zhe's most trusted person, Guo Jia, coming out. The smile on his face gave Jiang Ji a bad feeling in his heart.

    "Are you afraid that the price is ridiculously expensive?" Jiang Ji was already mentally prepared.

    "Our horses in Youzhou are divided into two grades, the first-class war horses, and the second-class war horses. The war horses are further divided into upper, middle and lower grades, ranging from dozens of gold to thousands of gold. The war horses are much cheaper. But look  For Duke Cao¡¯s sake, we can give you a discount on the war horses.¡±

    Hey, it¡¯s not too outrageous
