Chapter 30: Borrowing Soldiers
"Besides, I have already helped you say that there are 5,000 men, but you have offended my father-in-law severely, and you actually agreed to my father-in-law's harsh conditions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Li Ru sighed on the carriage.
Chen Xun felt a little confused when he heard this, and he didn't know where he had made Dong Zhuo unhappy, but judging from Dong Zhuo's face at the time, if he didn't agree, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have that chance.
"Wen Xiansheng, I only have three hundred people in my hands, how can I compete with that Dong Huang." Although Chen Xun didn't know how to offend Dong Zhuo, if he wanted to marry Dong Fei, he had to beat Dong Huang in this matter, and he himself had no way to let Li Ru help him get an idea.
"Father-in-law promised Dong Huang 30,000 elite soldiers, if you want to get a bigger record than him on the battlefield, you need at least 5,000 people, the father-in-law of the Xiliang army has already greeted him, it is impossible for you to get a soldier in their hands, this time it is difficult for you to even if you just want to go out smoothly."
Chen Xun bit his lip and asked stubbornly, "Wen Xiansheng has some family members to drive, so it's better to borrow some from me first." Dong Zhuo had already stated that he could not transfer troops and horses to him from the Xiliang army, but he did not say that he could not borrow their private army from others.
"You kid, you actually hit me with the idea." Li Ru scolded with a smile.
"I have eight hundred shadow warriors in my hands, all of them are warriors, I can lend you three hundred, I'm afraid it won't work out, I still need them to do things for me."
Chen Xun nodded, he knew that three hundred people was already Li Ru's limit, but Li Ru's kindness was remembered by him.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Xun's mind and he hurriedly asked, "Wen Xiansheng, the shadow you lent me can ride a horse." ”
"Of course you can ride, the eight hundred people are all strictly selected in the Xiliang Army, how can they not ride horses." Li Ru didn't expect Chen Xun to ask such a mentally retarded question, and couldn't help but say with disdain.
Chen Xun smiled awkwardly, then moved his butt to Li Ru's side, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Wen Xiansheng can lend me another three hundred horses." ”
Li Ru's mind was full of black lines, and he felt that Chen Xun was a little too much.
"Almost all war horses are registered by the army, although I have some authority, but I can't use it at will, if you want to, you can only buy it from the army."
When Chen Xun heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he knew that Li Ru's words had already given him a hint.
"Dare to ask Wen Xiansheng what is the price of war horses in the army."
"One hundred gold horses, three hundred horses need thirty thousand gold."
Chen Xun frowned, an ordinary horse on the market is about thirty gold, and the better one is about fifty gold, and the price of 100 gold is indeed a bit expensive, and Chen Xun doesn't have that much money to buy those horses.
As if he saw Chen Xun's difficulties, Li Ru said slowly: "The Qiang people in the northwest all live by grazing, and there are countless horses in their hands, I can lend you these horses first, but you have to lay down the white strip first, and if you succeed in the future, you must return me 600 horses." ”
Chen Xun was overjoyed, he knew that no matter what era the control of war horses was extremely strict, Li Ru borrowed his war horses to be regarded as a risk, and these conditions were nothing and hurriedly agreed.
After Chen Xun returned to his mansion, he did not enter the mansion gate, he paced back and forth in place, because even with Li Ru's soldiers and horses, there were only 600 people, which seemed to be too few.
"Perhaps, that man is willing to lend him soldiers and horses." Chen Xun's eyes flickered, and the person he thought of was Dong Zhuo who was named Zhonglang General after surrendering, and Duting Hou Lu Bulu Fengxian.
According to Chen Xun's intelligence, Lu Bu's father, Lu Liang, was killed by the cavalry of the alien race when he was guarding Wuyuan County, and since then Lu Bu will feel disgusted when he sees the alien race and want to kill him. Moreover, Chen Xun was more or less kind to Lu Bu, if he borrowed troops from Lu Bu in the name of crusading against foreign races, and explained the reason to Lu Bu, then Lu Bu was very likely to lend him soldiers and horses.
"Come on, prepare the horses." Chen Xun instructed the next person, and then immediately mounted his horse and ran north.
North of Luoyang City, Lu Bujun camp.
Chen Xun looked at the vast military flags in front of him and the neat columns of troops, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "It's really a mighty lion." ”
After Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, although he was not accepted as a righteous son like in history, Dong Zhuo's preferential treatment of the Bingzhou surrendered army was very generous, and almost everyone in the Bingzhou army at this moment had changed into new armor, and their combat power was stronger than before.
I found a patrolling soldier and said, "Trouble report Lu Zhonglang, Chen Xun and Chen Fuzhi ask to see him." ”
Chen Xun waited in place for a while, and then saw a mighty general wearing a golden crown and a hundred flowers robe walking out of the camp, this person was Lu Bu, but at this moment, Lu Bu's face was not very good, as if someone owed him money.
"Brother Feng Xianxian, don't come unharmed." Chen Xun arched his hand to Lu Bu, planning to make friends first, and then borrow some soldiers and horses from Lu Bu.
"Chen Fuzhi, you are really good at it!" Lu Bu gritted his teeth at Chen Xun and said.
Chen Xun was stunned by Lu Bu's expression, not to mention that there were so many merger armies in this place, just to say that Lu Bu's own combat strength was above Chen Xun.
"When did I offend Lu Bu, the dove tiger?" Chen Xun had some doubts in his heart, and his expression was a little flustered.
"Hahaha. Brother Fu Zhixian is really a good skill, and he actually chased Dong Xiangguo's daughter, and the foolish brother is really ashamed of himself. When Lu Bu saw Chen Xun's embarrassment, he couldn't help laughing, which made Chen Xun's face stagnate.
"Actually, this dove tiger seems to be quite cute." Chen Xun touched his nose and said secretly in his heart, Chen Xun's senses for Lu Bu were not good, after all, he had the title of a three-surnamed slave in history, and he saved Lu Bu at that time just to prevent too much change in history, so that the history of this era was out of his control. However, when he and Li Su went to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, the image of the loyal and affectionate general lingered in Chen Xun's heart.
He didn't know why Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo in history, but he knew that Lu Bu couldn't kill Dong Zhuo just for a sable chan, but since he had chosen Dong Zhuo now, he would not let this unparalleled general in the world betray.
"Brother, I actually know." Chen Xun's face turned red, and he actually had a bit of a shyness.
"Brother Xian didn't know, you walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the front foot, and the news spread throughout Luoyang, and the conditions under which you agreed to such a harsh competition made many literati and ink writers amazed, and the foolish brother also admired it."
"The whole of Luoyang knows about it." Chen Xun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he secretly analyzed in his heart, this news should not have been spread by Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo is such a good-looking person. Li Ru has been with him all the time, it should be unlikely, so the person who spread the news can only be Dong Fei.
Chen Xun felt a little headache, as soon as this news came out, he was afraid that he would be scolded by those who hated Dong Zhuo in the backbone, and this is exactly the case, now many anti-Dong faction people in Luoyang City have issued public opinion calling Chen Xun insulting his ancestors and being a traitor.
