After Luo Cheng and Xu Rong captured Duan Xuan's subordinates, the two of them quickly led their troops into Hangu Pass to join Wang Kai.

Subsequently, Wang Kai asked Luo Cheng and Xu Rong about the war.

After Luo Cheng and Xu Rong finished talking about the war, Wang Kai said with relief: "Now that Duan Xuan is dead, I can restore the vitality of Guanzhong with peace of mind." ”

Luo Cheng and Xu Rong, who heard this, both congratulated Wang Kai.

Immediately after, Wang Kai said: "This Hangu Pass is an important gateway to Guanzhong, I will return to Chang'an in the near future, I don't know which of the two of you wants to stay and sit in Hangu Pass?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Luo Cheng immediately said: "My lord, the last general thinks that only General Xu Rong can handle the important task of guarding the Hangu Pass. ”

When Xu Rong saw that Luo Cheng actually recommended him, he was very surprised, because Luo Cheng had been targeting him everywhere, but he didn't expect to recommend him as the guard of Hangu Pass this time.

Besides, after hearing this, Wang Kai said with a smile: "Shixin, it seems that you have been relieved!" ”

"Thanks to the Lord's mention, the last general has suddenly woken up, and only General Xu Rong is the most suitable general for this Hangu Pass."

When he heard this, Xu Rong also guessed a rough idea.

Immediately after, Xu Rong hurriedly said: "Lord, the last general is not qualified enough to take on such a heavy responsibility!" ”

Seeing Xu Rong shirking, Wang Kai hurriedly replied: "Xu Rong, you don't have to be humble, I know your ability, but you have been in Chencang for 20 days, and I can only be at ease when you sit in Hanguguan." ”

When he heard this, Xu Rong was suddenly a little embarrassed.

At this time, Luo Cheng suddenly said to Xu Rong: "General Xu Rong, don't shirk this Hangu Pass guard, in terms of the ability to guard the Pass, General Xu Rong must be far better than me." ”

Immediately after, Wang Kai continued: "Xu Rong listens to the order, I order you to lead 10,000 troops to sit in Hangu Pass." ”

Seeing that Wang Kai gave the order, Xu Rong was no longer hypocritical, and he immediately knelt down and replied: "The last general Xu Rong will take the order!" ”

Immediately, Wang Kai found an excuse and left alone, because he wanted to give Luo Cheng and Xu Rong a chance to be alone, so that Luo Cheng would fulfill his promise.

After Wang Kai left, Luo Cheng suddenly said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, I was a little neglectful of you before, this is my mistake, I apologize to you." ”

Suddenly hearing Luo Cheng's apology, Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly helped Luo Cheng up and replied: "General Luo, why is this?" I, Xu Rong, don't mean to blame you in the slightest. ”

"General Xu, are you unwilling to accept my apology?"

Seeing Luo Cheng say this, Xu Rong hurriedly replied: "General Luo, where are you talking about this, I really haven't blamed General Luo." ”

"Alright then, General Xu Rong, I'll accept my apology from you."

When he heard this, Xu Rong immediately replied with a wry smile: "Okay! ”

At this time, Luo Cheng began to laugh.

Xu Rong also laughed when he saw this.

In this way, the small festival between Luo Cheng and Xu Rong made a smile and hatred.

A few days later, Wang Kai left Xu Rong to sit in Hanguguan and led his troops to return to Chang'an.

At the same time, Ma Chao and Wei Chigong also captured Xiaoguan and Wuguan respectively and began to set off to return to Chang'an.

Not long after Wang Kai returned to Chang'an, Wei Chigong and Ma Chao also returned to Chang'an one after another.

After Wang Kai learned from Ma Chao and Wei Chigong that Xiao Guan and Wu Guan had been taken, he immediately said with relief: "The four passes in Guanzhong have been taken, and now I can finally restore the vitality of Guanzhong with all my might, but I still need to go to Liangzhou before that." ”

Subsequently, Wang Kai took Wei Chigong and rushed to Pingxiang County alone.

When Wang Kai appeared in Pingxiang County, Fang Qiao quickly took Ma Dai out of the city to greet Wang Kai. Yunnan

After following Fang Qiao into the city, Wang Kai immediately came to the lobby of the county government with Fang Qiao.

After the two of them sat down, Fang Qiao immediately congratulated Wang Kai: "Congratulations to the lord for winning the three counties of Guanzhong!" ”

"Xuan Ling, although Guanzhong has already been won, Guanzhong is still in ruins!"

"Didn't the lord have already made a decision?"

"That's why, that's why I came to Liangzhou."

"Xuan Ling, I need you to choose a capable person to build a horse farm, and I want to use the horses raised in the horse farm to go to Jing and Yi in exchange for their food."

When he heard this, Fang Qiao finally understood what Wang Kai's method of recovering Guanzhong was.

Immediately after, Fang Qiao immediately replied: "The lord has a great plan, Jing and Yi are both important grain producing areas, but there is an extreme shortage of war horses in these two places, we can use the war horses in Liangzhou to exchange enough grain from these two states to restore the Guanzhong region." ”

"Xuan Ling, now that you have seen it, do you have a candidate to build a horse farm?"

"Back to my lord, General Ma Dai has been studying under me for many days, and I believe that General Ma Dai will be able to take on this important responsibility."

"Ma Dai? is still a good candidate, then it is decided, and the matter of this Liangzhou Horse Farm will be handed over to Ma Dai. ”

"Thank you, lord!"

"Xuan Ling, although we are intentional, Jingzhou Liu Biao and Yizhou Liu Yan may not be intentional, so I still need to send envoys to Jing and Yizhou, only after successfully convincing Liu Biao and Liu Yan, we can really start to restore the vitality of Guanzhong, but I don't have anyone to send an envoy now."

"My lord, the minister is willing to give it a try."

"No, Xuan Ling is my right-hand man, I don't worry about you going."

"The lord, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Yizhou Mu Liu Yan are both royal relatives, if the lord sends one person to go casually, I am afraid that it will backfire, and the minister is not a driver in Liangzhou, and his identity is not slack."

After carefully scrutinizing Fang Qiao's words, Wang Kai also undeniably Fang Qiao is indeed the best candidate, but Wang Kai is still a little worried that Yizhou Mu Liu Yan may be in the way, after all, he took away the people of Hanzhong County from Liu Yan.

Immediately after, Wang Kai said to Fang Qiao again: "Xuan Ling, your words are not unreasonable, but I am worried that Yizhou Mu Liu Yan may be in the way, after all, I took Hanzhong County from Zhang Lu's hands. ”

"The lord can rest assured, I have my own way to deal with it, and the two countries will not fight each other, I believe that Yizhou Mu will not be too embarrassed."

"That's it! Xuan Ling, then you have to go to Jingzhou and Yizhou for an envoy! ”

"Command!"

"By the way, Xuan Ling, you need to deal with the horse farm matter before you go out."

"Please rest assured, the minister will deal with it immediately."

Subsequently, Wang Kai said goodbye to Fang Qiao.

After Wang Kai left, Fang Qiao quickly summoned Ma Dai.

After Ma Dai saluted Fang Qiao, Fang Qiao immediately said: "General Ma Dai, you have been with me for some time, and I now have an important task to be entrusted to you to complete. ”

"Please sir!"

"The lord is ready to choose a horse farm in Liangzhou for him to exchange for grain and restore the vitality of Guanzhong, this matter is very important, I have recommended to the lord that General Ma Dai handle this matter, and I hope that General Ma Dai can live up to expectations."

After hearing this, Ma Dai hurriedly replied: "The last general Ma Dai is ordered!" ”

Subsequently, Ma Dai left the county government with the task.

Because the matter of the horse farm is very important, Fang Qiao did not set off immediately, he had to wait for Ma Dai to make plans when he was a little rudimentary, after all, Wang Kai also asked him to do so.
