Chapter 762

Watching Cai Yong's boat finally leave Chang'an wharf, Sun Ping finally breathes a long sigh of relief. It has been almost half a year since I came to Chang'an, and I have finally finished what my Lord told me.

The next step is to recruit Xu Rong. For this handsome man, Huangfu Chaobo spared no effort. So three days after Cai Yong saw him off, Sun Ping set out again for Chencang City, hundreds of miles away, regardless of the heavy snow just stopped and the road was difficult.

At this time in Chencang City, Xu Rong is also in deep meditation. The weather is getting colder and colder these days. He has asked the soldiers to stop their daily training, but the normal inspection is still carried out as usual. However, the winter was coming, but the soldiers' winter clothes were still a problem. He led 20000 troops to guard Chencang and Sanguan, but the food and grass were safe for the time being. Other supplies had lost the supply of Chang'an.

Just like the winter clothes most urgently needed by the soldiers, they have been handed out in previous years, but this year there is no news. He has sent his own personal guard general and his younger brother Xu GUI to Chang'an to ask for them, but the reply is to let them wait, saying that the troops in Chang'an are not ready, let alone the foreign troops.

Moreover, as the year is approaching, the year-end salaries and rewards of the officers and soldiers are gone. If things go on like this, it won't take a year for his soldiers and horses to run away.

Xu GUI watched his elder brother walking around in the room, but there was no solution for a long time. As Xu Rong's younger brother and general, Xu Rong basically knew everything. He also knew that Huangfu Chaobo had always valued him and had sent people to solicit him.

"Elder brother, Marquis cangting thinks highly of elder brother so much, why elder brother..." Xu GUI said cautiously;

Xu Rong stopped, looked at his younger brother, sighed and said: "I don't know the meaning of cangting Hou for you? Only Chencang and Luoyang are thousands of miles away. There are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops in Qinchuan alone. How do you let my tens of thousands of brothers and family members pass through? Can't you and I go to Luoyang and leave the others in Chencang? "

Xu GUI was dumb when he heard that. Xu Rong's 10000 soldiers were soldiers who had followed him for several years. Although the 10000 soldiers were only the original guards of Chencang and Sanguan, Xu Rong had won over the past six months. These troops and their families have nearly 100000 people. How to get to Luoyang is really a problem.

If Xu Rong went alone, these soldiers and their families would be implicated. In all probability, these soldiers would become dead soldiers in the army of Guo Li.

At the thought of this, Xu GUI also kept silent.

Just at this time, the guard outside the door said, "general, someone is asking for a meeting outside the mansion."

With that, he handed up a salutation card.

Xu GUI took a look, but it was Sun Ping, the right captain of Yulin, who had visited for several times. Xu GUI was very happy and said, "brother, sun Xiaowei is here again. You can discuss with him to see if they have any idea?"

With a bitter smile, Xu Rong said, "well, dead horses should be treated as living horses. Go to the door in person and welcome sun Xiaowei in. "

Xu GUI goes out of the door. A moment later, at the gate of Xu Chen's county yamen, Xu GUI leads Sun Ping into the county yamen. They walk and chat together. When they get to the door of Xu Rong's study, Xu GUI whispers to Sun Ping: "it's freezing recently. My elder brother has been worrying about the brothers' winter clothes and pay."

Sun Ping a listen, eyes a bright, tacit nodded, and then under the leadership of Xu GUI into the room.

After entering the room, Sun Ping went up to the front two steps and said, "I haven't seen General Xu before."

"Captain sun, please get up!" Xu Rong stepped forward to lift Sun Ping up, and then asked him to sit down.

After sitting opposite each other and chatting for a while, Xu Rongcai said, "I don't know what happened when sun Xiaowei came here this time."

Because of Xu GUI's warning, Sun Ping also had a bottom in his heart and said, "it's freezing. My lord estimated that General Xu might need some materials and funds, so he ordered me to send some things."

With that, Sun Ping handed Xu GUI a list of materials. Xu GUI quickly reached for it, but there were 20000 sets of soldiers' winter clothes, 20000 pieces of various weapons and equipment, 50000 pieces of money, and some other materials. Xu GUI looked at the list and couldn't speak for a long time.

Xu Rong was surprised to see that his younger brother hadn't handed over the list for a long time. He reached out and took the list from Xu GUI's hand. Rao Shiyi, Xu Rong's calmness, also jumped. Such a large amount of materials, money and silk are just what his 20000 troops need urgently.

Xu Rong handed the list to Sun Ping and said, "Sun Xiaowei, please take it back. People often say that they have no merit and will not receive salary. Xu deserves such valuable property."

"Is general Xu ashamed of what he received, and then let tens of thousands of soldiers under his command not even wear winter clothes in this cold season?" Sun Ping said in a soft voice;

Xu Rong listened and was speechless for a long time.

Sun Ping did not speak, quietly waiting for Xu Rong's answer.

After a long time, Xu Rongcai replied: "mengcangting Marquis's wrong love, Xu Rong's gratitude is inexplicable, but there are 20000 brothers and their tens of thousands of family members under his command. He really can't bear to leave them alone.""Don't worry, General Xu. My Lord has said that there is no need for the general to leave Yongzhou now. He also said that since Guo and Li have arranged for the general to stay in Chencang, the general will be able to stay in Chencang. When the time comes, there will be a way to solve the general's confusion." Sun Ping said with a smile;

Xu Rongxin read a move, said: "the meaning of Hou Ye is Xu..."

"Yes, the Lord's meaning is that the general and 20000 troops will be stationed in Chencang and Sanguan for the time being. In three years or not, the Marquis's army will move westward. At that time, the general's 20000 troops will be able to give Guo and Li a fatal blow from behind."

After hearing Sun Ping's words, Xu Rong breathed a long sigh of relief and was deeply moved. He was defeated and captured a few years ago. Huangfu Chaobo had been recruiting him. Last year, he defeated Sizhou army in Hedong. He didn't expect that he would recruit himself the next year.

Seeing Xu Rong's expression, Sun Ping also breathes a sigh of relief, and mentions to Xu Rong the conditions for Huangfu Chaobo to surrender. Huangfu Chaobo made him a general of the fourth grade, only below Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun in Sizhou army. Qianniu battalion was set up for two battalions, one school of cavalry and one school of infantry. The cavalry was Xiliang cavalry. As for the remaining 10000 people, the guards were organized into two barracks, which were responsible for the defense of the county and Sanguan. The money, food and equipment of the 20000 soldiers were sent from Luoyang.

Xu Rong arranged the first general of 20000 troops and horses, and Luoyang would never interfere.
