"I'm going to take 5,000 cavalry out of the general." Xu Rong said firmly.

"Xu Rong, are you kidding? Don't be ashamed! Li Dao was furious and called him by his first name.

"General Li, if you don't want it, don't want the rest of the soldiers, even if you die with these soldiers, it won't be handed over to you, General Li, you can see if these soldiers will obey my orders and fight to the death." Xu Rong said with a slight mockery.

Li Weigang wanted to bring out Xu Rong's family to threaten Xu Rong, but was stopped by Guo Yan on the side and persuaded him.

"Calm down, think about it, do we really lack that bit of cavalry? Everyone is a colleague, why make such an unpleasant fuss? Isn't it? ”

"Lao Tzu just can't get used to this guy, and he looks arrogant all day long." Li Wei pointed at Xu Rong's nose and scolded.

"Alright, alright." Guo Yan kept persuading, pulled Li Dao back to sit down, and he turned around to negotiate with Xu Rong.

"General Xu, don't be childish, he is the stinky temper." Guo Yan said with a smile.

"That's it, 5,000 cavalry is indeed a bit much, why don't we each take a step back, General Xu, how about you take 3,000 cavalry? I promise that the general's family will be delivered to the general unscathed. Guo Yan asked.

Xu Rong confronted Guo Yan for a long time before he spit out a word from his mouth.

"Okay."

In a house in Chang'an City.

"Daddy! Daddy!! A child ran towards Xu Rong.

Xu Rong held his child tightly in his arms, looked up at his wife who was trying to hold back and didn't cry, Xu Rong stood up and stroked her face.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work."

The tears couldn't be stopped any longer, and then he threw himself into Xu Rong's arms and cried bitterly.

Xu Rong patted his wife's back and looked at his kind parents in the distance, at this moment, Xu Rong felt that everything was worth it.

Xu Rong comforted his family for a while, and then under the eyes of Guo Yan, he left Chang'an with his family and the three thousand cavalry under his command.

Originally, if he hadn't been robbed of military power, Xu Rong planned to return to his station first, wait and see the general trend of the world, and finally choose the side he thought was more secure to join.

After going through so much, Xu Rong didn't want his family to suffer from the war anymore, and he didn't want to be separated from it.

But now that he has no military power, everything is different, there are only 3,000 cavalry, and there is not much power to protect himself. Xu Rong can't stop, otherwise in the eyes of others, it will be a delicious piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Xu Rong planned to defect to Jiang Hong, and the 5,000 cavalry he asked for was a meeting gift to Jiang Hong.

Now there are 3,000 left, but in the south, where there is an extreme shortage of war horses, it can be regarded as a big gift.

What's more, these 3,000 cavalry are not miscellaneous goods, they are all Xiliang iron cavalry carefully trained by themselves, and their combat effectiveness is second to none at the moment.

As for why he chose Jiang Hong at the expense of the near and far, it was just that Xu Rong felt that Jiang Hong valued himself very much, not the cavalry under his command, and that's it.

Xu Rong planned to go from Yuzhou, bypassing Wuguan in Nanyang County, passing through Yingchuan and Runan, reaching Jiujiang, and finally on Jiang Hong's territory.

This distance is not long, but it is not short, because nearly half of the distance is in Sili, and his previous station is around Luoyang, and this half of the distance is relatively safe.

Moreover, his family can also ride in a carriage, without the drag of foot soldiers, and the marching speed is also extremely fast, Xu Rong feels that it will not be long before he can reach his destination.

Xu Rong thought very beautifully, but there are many good things, and there are unforeseen wind and rain, and it is Xu Rong who is talking about.

The food and grass in the army are sufficient, but Xu Rong does not plan to let his family and soldiers have a standard of living.

Chang'an City was made into a miasma by Li and Guo Yan, and they couldn't buy their family's consumption on the road here, so Xu Rong planned to go to Changling in the north to buy supplies.

Because Li Dao Guo Yan gathered most of the troops to attack Chang'an, the guards in various places were empty, and those who were already wandering in the land of Sanfu only dared to hide from the white wave thieves of the Xiliang Army Seeing this, they pretended to have the courage to take the opportunity to invade the sphere of influence of the Xiliang Army.

When Dong Zhuo was there, none of these guys dared to put a fart, and they only dared to make trouble when Dong Zhuo was restrained by the Kwantung princes. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have transferred the defenders from all over the country, and the white wave thief is very happy.

Xu Rong bought supplies from Changling and was about to travel east to his previous station, but he didn't want his group to be targeted by the white wave thieves.

Originally, Xu Rong had 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, stationed in Xingyang, and although the white wave thieves claimed to be hundreds of thousands, there were only tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers who could pull them out to fight. Even if they were given ten guts, they would not dare to touch Xu Rong in the slightest.

But now it's different, Xu Rong has 3,000 cavalry left, and the spies of the white wave thieves in Changling City know about it, and they went out of the city overnight to inform their masters, and several leaders of the white wave thieves coveted the 3,000 cavalry under Xu Rong's command.

Li Le knew that he couldn't take Xu Rong alone, although it was very refreshing to eat alone, but everything in his stomach was empty talk, so Li Le brought the leaders of several other white wave thieves together.

Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai are the most powerful people among the leaders of the white wave thieves, and large-scale war horses are not available to everyone, even if Yuan Shu, who is now dominant in Nanyang and most of Yuzhou, the cavalry under his command is only three thousand, and it still belongs to the miscellaneous cavalry.

There are only three places where the Han Dynasty produces war horses, Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, all of which are border states and counties. The buildings near the water get the moon first, the flowers and trees are easy to spring, and those who can have war horses on a large scale are the princes who have power on the border.

For example, Ma Teng Han Sui, Dong Zhuo Gongsun Zhan, and some of them are next to these three states, such as Yuan Shao next to each other, relying on the support of the Jizhou family, there is a cavalry under his command, and the same is true for Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

And Yuan Shu was purely relying on the strong financial resources of the Yuan family, and the 3,000 cavalry purchased at a high price in the hands of horse dealers, or the Yuan family used their connections to transport them from the border and spent a lot of money to get them. It can really be said that it is a cavalry piled up with money.

War horses belong to strategic materials, and the price is too high, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai pondered that if they could eat Xu Rong's group of cavalry and throw away the war horses that died in battle, everyone could get about 700 war horses, which was a lot of wealth.

The three of them felt that a large amount of money was being thrown at them, and they were moved and discussed it a little.

Do you agree? Agree! What about you? Agree! Okay, let's just do his vote. The three of them made a hasty decision.
