"Buying a horse, come on, come on, please come with me." The fat man was overjoyed.

Regardless of the crowds of people on the street watching the excitement, horses are valuable items that cannot be afforded by ordinary people, and it is useless for ordinary people to buy them. They have a huge appetite and cannot support a horse without any financial resources.

After arriving at the caravan station, I saw dozens of horses locked in stables, eating fodder.

Yang Gan came to the stable and kept observing the horses, sometimes touching them twice when he saw the leading black horses.

Yang Gan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The bones are substantial, the muscles are plump, the joints are still obvious, and the joints and tendons of the limbs are well developed, tsk tsk tsk!"

"Sir, how is this horse?" Ran Jing led the troops to fight. He only knew a general idea about the horse, but he really couldn't say anything specific.

Yang Qian kept touching the black horses. These horses were really amazing. They were not only black, but also shiny. They looked like they were waxed, with a faint black light.

Just like the black car from a previous life, the way it looks after being washed and waxed makes everyone feel like they can't put it down.

Yang Gan grabbed the horse's ears and said, "Look, Ran Jing, when looking at a horse, you must first look at the horse's ears. The ears must be small and not droopy."

"Oh? What if it droops?"

"If the horse's ears are large and droopy, it will make the horse's movements appear very inflexible. This is the case with ordinary draft horses or draft horses."

Ran Jing listened attentively and asked, "What else do you want to see?"

Yang Qian's hand slid over the horse's head and touched its shoulder. "After looking at the ears, look at the shoulders. Look at this horse. A good horse has long and flat shoulders, but a bad horse has droopy shoulders."

"Then let's look at the waist. A good horse's waist is usually strong and elastic. If the waist is not elastic, then it must not be very strong."

"I looked at the ears, shoulders, and waist. Where else should I look?" Ran Jingqi asked.

"Look at it."

"尻?"

Yang Qian pointed to the part of the horse's butt and said, "It is based on the hip bone, sacrum and part of the tail vertebrae. It is connected to the waist in front and the hamstrings in the lower part. It is an important part of promoting the movement of the posterior hamstrings."

"The length, slope, and width of the jiri are moderate, so the sprint speed will be very fast. If you are a light cavalry, you must pay attention to this. If you are a heavy cavalry, the requirements for the jiri are not high, but the waist. "

Ran Jing looked at several horses carefully according to Yang Qian's request. After a long time, he was surprised and said, "Sir, these horses all meet the characteristics you mentioned."

"Yes, so these five dark horses are all unique and good horses. They are called BMW for short and their English name is bmw."

"English?"

"Ahem, don't worry about those details."

At this time, the fat man in charge came over, cupped his hands and said, "May I ask if the young master is a general of the border army?"

Yang Gan asked curiously, "Oh? Why do you ask that?"

The fat man smiled and said, "Ordinary people like to buy strong horses. They are good at pulling goods or turning millstones. Occasionally, some people come to buy horses to join the army."

"But I see that the two of them are majestic and well-dressed, and yet they are so familiar with the art of horse-drawing. They are probably border army generals or civilians in the frontier army."

The two looked at each other and felt that this person did have some skills.

"You said you were selling horses, just a few dozen horses. Even if you sold them, you wouldn't make much profit. Besides, everyone knows that I, Yuntong, have always produced horses, so I always feel that it doesn't make sense from a business perspective."

"Actually, I've heard that the border army is recruiting troops, which will inevitably lead to the sale of war horses.

So I came here. This time I got hundreds of war horses, but there were more people in charge inside the city, so most of the horses stayed outside the city. "

Yang Gan nodded and looked at all the horses, "I'm not interested in other horses, but I want these five horses. How much do they cost?"

"Five thousand gold~~~!"

Yang Gan's hand trembling when he took the money, but he still took out the book and frowned, "Can it be cheaper?"

"Sir, these five horses are all excellent horses. There will be no bargaining, and..."

The fat man came closer and said, "Two males and three females, the horses from Hequ are definitely worth five thousand gold."

Yang Gan's eyes lit up. The two looked at each other and laughed. He took out a charcoal pen and wrote the amount on the book, stamped it and handed it to the fat man.

"Send the horse to Yang's house and give the note to the servants, and they will give you money."

The fat man was anxious. He took Yang Gan's arm and said worriedly, "You, how can you do this? When buying something, you have to pay for it in full. Give me the voucher. What if it doesn't work?"

At this time, several guards came over and said, "Steward, who is this person? He's too arrogant."

One of the guards pointed at Yang Gan and said displeasedly, "No one buys things with white paper. Are you bullying us foreigners?"

"Let me tell you, we pay taxes. Although I know that you should be quite powerful in the local area, you can't live with it even if you bully us."

Yang Gan said disdainfully, "Tch, isn't the horse still in your hands? And don't you read the words on the seal? Let's go first~~! Remember to send the horse over."

A guard wanted to stop Yang Gan, but was stepped on by Yang Gan. He covered his feet, but tears kept flowing down. It hurt so much.

The fat man stared blankly at the somewhat ugly words. When he carefully looked at the font of the seal, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.

"Boss, he's too arrogant." The guard looked at Yang Gan, who had disappeared, and felt unbalanced in his heart. He wanted to teach this ignorant person a lesson.

If it weren't for Yuntong, if it was at night in his own territory, he would be killed directly, who knows.

The fat man in charge gradually came to his senses and said in shock, "He, he is the Yuntong County Sheriff, that thief."

"What?"

The guards were in an uproar, but soon became quiet.

"Tsk, it is said that he is one foot tall and one foot wide. It is true that these are all rumors. He looks stupid."

"Yes, he looks too feminine. He doesn't look like he can go into battle to kill the enemy."

"The man next to him doesn't look amazing. Maybe it's his face."

"Hahahahaha~~~!"

"Shut up!!!"

In an instant, all the guards stopped talking.

"Are you pig-minded? With so many members of the Wang family here, and knowing so much about war horses, do you think he is just a person with no abilities?"

"Do your job well and don't make any mistakes. If something happens to anyone, once they are found out, you should be careful about the lives of your family members."

The fat manager's face was full of desolation at this time, without the smiling face of a businessman.

He looked at Yang Qian's back with a mocking expression.

"The King of Horses is not easy to surrender. It's best to throw you to death in one fell swoop!"

On the street, Ran Jing looked at Yang Qian with admiring eyes.

"Sir, your horse-reading skills are really amazing~~~!"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Yang Gan put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Don't flatter me. I heard what the veterans in the army said. That man has been a soldier for more than ten years and has been responsible for the feeding of war horses. What he said is definitely not wrong."

Ran Jing couldn't understand it at all, "Young Master, you are so powerful, why would you still listen to a groom?"

Although the soldiers who manage the stables can also kill people with swords, in the eyes of the elite soldiers, they are no different from the grooms.

Yang Qian turned around and said seriously, "Ran Jing, I'm very optimistic about you, but don't think that just winning a few battles is great. It doesn't matter. The time, place and people are all on my side. To put it bluntly, Any general can annihilate all three tribes."

"You must know that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. To be a victorious general, you can be arrogant and proud, but you must not be arrogant. Even a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength."

"The sage said that when three people are walking together, they must have me as their teacher. I can't learn how to teach horses, but the groom can, so he is better than me in how to learn horses."

"I can humbly ask for advice from him, and the skills I learn from myself will be my own."

Ran Jing nodded, as if he understood, but also seemed not to understand. His family was well off, and his family sold silk and fabrics. He was only interested in himself and gave his enthusiasm.

If his father hadn't been drafted into the army this time, he would never have thought that he would have any interest in being a soldier.

"Actually, there are many tricks to leading troops. For example, I need three routes and three armies to attack others. I can only lead one route. How can you ensure that the other two routes arrive on time."

Ran Jing frowned and thought for a while, "We need to issue a military order. Anyone who is late will be beheaded."

Yang Gan curled his lips, shook his head and said, "The military order must be issued, but sometimes this thing is not a good thing."

"Then young master, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Simple. When selecting the other two generals, we must eliminate those who often get lost and have no strategic thinking. We must choose careful and courageous generals."

"We must also pay attention to the weather during the decisive battle. If the weather is bad, such as three days of heavy rain, it is absolutely impossible for the army to arrive on time, so we need to leave some spare time to mediate even if an accident occurs."

"The most important thing is who the enemy general is. You need to find out his character before you can arrange your troops."

Yang Gan spoke eloquently and told Ran Jing about his experience in leading troops. This was what Ran Jing had always wanted to hear. In the past, every time he asked Yang Gan, he would be sent to read the military book.

Now he finally understood that the young master had good intentions, because he could understand what the young master said.

"Writing is practical knowledge, and reading is theoretical knowledge. Only by combining practice and theory can you have a place among the generals."

Ran Jing nodded humbly. In fact, Yang Qian still didn't tell the whole story. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. Some people have never led troops to fight, but they can always win the battle.

These geniuses are called Han Xin, Huo Qubing, and Xin Qiji. In the history of the previous life, there were many generals like clouds and counselors like rain. There were too many.

I just took advantage of being a time traveler. I had read a lot of history books and knew some decisive battles. Otherwise, even Tian Zong might not have been able to win. Of course, it was also thanks to some battle games.

What is war?

Replenish troops, push towers, steal crystals, figure out the priorities, and then do a virtual and a real, a real and a virtual, and you're done. It's very easy. The premise is that you must know how many pounds your own army has and how many taels the opponent's army has. A few pounds.

When the time comes, you can fight and know who wins and who loses. Before I traveled through time, I thought that fighting was nothing more than an army phalanx against an army phalanx.
