They had just finished dividing Jingzhou equally with Sun Quan, and the ink on the agreement between the two countries had not yet dried. Who would have expected that Sun Quan would dare to stab him in the back immediately?

"He said he wanted three thousand, so we gave him three thousand. This... this is too much, so give him less!"

Guan Jida said dissatisfiedly.

Although Liao Hua did not speak, he nodded secretly.

Yes, now the Wu people are asking for help from the Han people, so how can they let them do whatever they say?

In order to obtain half of Nanjun, how much land did the late emperor promise to Sun Quan?

This time, at least let Wu Guo have a taste of begging for help.

"Three thousand is indeed a bit much, but I didn't say it was a one-time payment."

Feng Yong smiled slyly, "We can give it in batches."

"What's the meaning?"

"Now, actually, no matter how much we give, we will still lose money by any calculation."

Feng Yong sighed and continued:

"Because the batch of war horses that Cao Rui sold to Sun Quan at a low price has already been destined that when we exchange them with the Wu people, the asking price cannot be too high, or even lower than the price given by Cao Rui."

Otherwise, Sun Quan would definitely still be unhappy.

"So if that's the case, why don't we think of a solution from another angle?"

As he spoke, Governor Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

This kind of smile is rare on Feng Jishi's face.

But following Feng Jishi for many years, he naturally knew what this smile meant - it meant Xiao Wenhe's appearance.

The two looked at each other and said in unison:

"What's the plan?"

"Pay in installments!"

A term that no one understood came out of Feng Yong's mouth, "Sun Quan wants three thousand horses, doesn't he? I'll give him four thousand and let him make up a cavalry of five thousand."

When Liao Hua heard this, he was shocked.

It's just that he has seen big storms after all, and he is well aware of Xiaowen's tricks, so he suppressed his temper immediately.

Guo heard Feng Yong continue to say:

"However, we cannot pay for these four thousand horses in one lump sum. We must pay them in four installments."

Feng Yong said while holding out four fingers, "We don't want that treasure, as long as he gives other things in exchange."

"Aren't the Wu people good at boats? Then I will give him a thousand horses in exchange for a batch of boats. I will also give a thousand horses in exchange for a batch of boatmen who can operate the boats."

"I still have two groups of students under me, one group is sent to Wu** Middle School to operate ships, and the other group is sent to the shipyard of Wu State to learn shipbuilding."

"Those two thousand war horses should be regarded as tuition fees. When the two groups of students return from their studies, I will hand over the horses."

Five thousand cavalry is already a fighting force that cannot be underestimated.

Governor Feng didn't believe that Sun Shiwan would not be tempted.

Besides, Han and Wu are the same family. Wu asked for horses to defeat thieves. Han Dynasty studied shipbuilding and sailing, wasn’t it also to defeat thieves?

Not to mention anything else, how many ships come and go on the Qishan Road from Hanzhong to Longyou every year?

Didn’t Sun Quan say:

"Pearls and treasures are not needed, but they can be exchanged for horses. What's the regret?"

Coincidentally, I, Feng, think so too.

I don't love money!

I'm not interested in jewelry either!

I just want to learn how to build and operate a ship...

After hearing Governor Feng's plan, even Liao Hua was dumbfounded.

It's understandable to exchange a boat for a horse, but changing the boatman is a bit unexpected.

Not to mention the need to exchange Wu's boat-managing skills and ship-building skills.

I don’t know how long it will take for those students to learn it.

I can't say it, the company department, the military affairs department asked the generals under my command.

If it weren't for the political affairs in Liangzhou and the people's return, he would have been unable to restrain himself and wanted to give some advice.

Now it seems that Feng Mingwen can be regarded as a figure like Pang Tong in terms of strategy alone.

Trivial things may not even catch his eye.

In the past, I only heard about its great reputation, but today I finally saw it with my own eyes!

Liao Hua was sighing when Feng Yong turned to him and said:

"Uncle Liao, I originally wanted to go to Juyan County after spring to supervise the farming, but now it seems that I can't make the trip. I'm afraid it will tire Uncle Liao a lot."

Liao Hua said quickly:

"Inspecting Juyan County is nothing more than a matter for the state and county; receiving the envoy from Wu is a matter for both countries. There are differences in severity. Small things are left to me, while big things need to be done personally by the king."

Seeing with his own eyes that things that even the Prime Minister had shied away from were easily resolved by Governor Feng, Liao Hua strengthened his determination to be a tool.

The only thing that worried Liao Hua was: Will the Wu people agree?

A few days later, Governor Feng personally received the Wu envoys who had traveled thousands of miles away in the official hall of the Governor's Mansion in Liangzhou.

The two sides recalled the long-term friendship between the two countries and were full of confidence in the future cooperation in jointly defeating thieves.

During this period, Lu Mao formally proposed to Governor Feng that he would exchange the pearls, tortoise shells and other treasures produced in Wu for Liangzhou horses.

Governor Feng, who was well prepared, also made his request to Lu Hao.

"I don't agree!"

Lu Hao, who is already in his forties, is elegant and has an extraordinary bearing.

Although he has entered middle age, it can still be seen that he must have been a handsome man in his youth.

Whether walking or sitting, it gives people a calm and unhurried feeling.

But this calmness turned into anger after hearing the conditions put forward by Feng Jishi.

But I saw him standing up suddenly and staring at Feng Yong closely:

"The benefits of boats are the most important weapons of our great state of Wu. How can we show them to others at will?"

"Mr. Lu, it makes no sense for you to say that. Boats are the most important weapon of the Wu State. Aren't war horses the most important weapon of my great man?"

Governor Feng sat there, motionless:

"In the battle of Xiaoguan, I was able to defeat one hundred thousand with twenty thousand. Isn't it because of the Han's cavalry?"

"Then how can it be the same? Who doesn't know that the cavalry under Junhou's command is very different from other cavalry. I heard that it was trained by the secret method of Junhou's master."

Lu Hao didn't show any weakness at all, and even took a step closer, "In my opinion, this kind of secret method is the real important weapon. Is it possible that a prince would be willing to give it to me?"

"Nonsense!" When Feng Junhou heard this, his expression changed and he raised his voice, "It's nothing!"

"The rumors outside are just what others say. How can Mr. Lu easily believe such rumors?"

Although his sitting posture did not change, his subconsciously stretched neck and the slightly raised veins on his neck seemed to indicate some kind of nervousness.

Although the change in Feng Yong's expression was quickly concealed, how could he hide it from Lu Hao?

The battle of Xiaoguan in the Han and Wei Dynasties shocked the world. The cavalry under Feng Jishi did not want to attract attention.

Unprecedented new cavalry tactics, coupled with previous rumors about Feng Yong, it is not unusual for someone to come to this conclusion.

Besides, the Zhang family has a relationship with Feng Mingwen, who in Wu knows?

On the way to Liangzhou, Lu Hao had already asked Zhang Bai a lot about Feng Jishi.
