“Too expensive?!” Liu Mang didn’t know of the pricing of horses in the Three Kingdoms period. However, this was precisely the price of horses in modern times. “If it’s too expensive, I can negotiate with the other side!” Buying a thousand horses was a transaction of more than ten million. A transition this large will certainly be eligible for a discount!
“No! No!” Lu Bu and Chen Gong quickly shook their head.
“How much gold is left in the Kaiyang palace?!” Lu Bu fought back his happiness as he asked Chen Gong.
“There remains less than two thousand gold. However, General Zang Ba should have a couple thousand gold!” Zang Ba was already planning to retire to the countryside. Thus, he certainly would’ve taken a lot of Kaiyang’s assets.
“Good!” Lu Bu composed himself and said. “Borrow five thousand gold from Zang Ba. Tell him I will return him twice fold in the future! Then give all these seven thousand gold to Hanyang. I want five thousand warhorses!” said Lu Bu as he held out five fingers.
“Five thousand?!” Liu Mang looked at Lu Bu with eyes shocked wide open. “That’s seven thousand gold, even if I purchase five thousand horses, there’s still two thousand gold!” Was the rest of the gold to purchase armor?!
Boss Lu was prepared to go big.
