Chapter 291
"That's wrong." Tianya laughed and said, "My master's words can only show that Murong Yanchao didn't die in Tongguan, but it doesn't mean that he will definitely defeat us and enter Tongguan. Tongguan is strong and easy to defend. As long as there are enough people We will be able to keep the supplies. Moreover, Xuzhou is not close to here. When Murong Yanchao came to Tongguan, Mr. Guo will be there soon. I believe this is also Murong Yanzhao's plan. Think about it carefully, Murong Yanchao holds a heavy army and is in Xuzhou. If he knows that Guo Wei rebels and invades Kaifeng, what will he do? It is very close to Datang. It is not impossible to counterattack the big man at that time. If Mr. Guo is allowed to defeat Murong Yanchao here, Li Jing may not think highly of him if he wants to surrender to the Great Tang."

Everyone nodded silently. This kid didn't look like he was under ten years old at all, he was simply old and cunning.Everyone only sees the surface, but Tianya sees a deeper meaning. Even this little apprentice has this kind of vision, which shows that Master Zong Xin's resourcefulness is beyond comparison.

Tian Ya said: "Brother, you mentioned the supplies and called us here, you must have some ideas. If you want Uncle Zhao to help, you don't have to say so. The people of the Zhao Clan will never send a grain of rice, a piece of rice. Bow, I can assure you of this."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "I can also guarantee...my family will never help with this, because the pressure to support 3 people is too great, and the Zhao Clan is too poor to have so much money."

"The Zhao Clan is still poor? You have occupied six gold mines in Luoyang, and your business is spread all over the Weishui River. You still have the face to call yourself poor?" Chai Rong knew that the Zhao Clan was rich, and that it was incomparably rich. Although he also knew that the Zhao Clan was stingy, It's just that I didn't expect to be so stingy, and I was rejected before I even spoke.

Zhao Kuangyin said helplessly: "Although you don't know the rest of the Zhao Clan, you know me at least. Have you ever seen when I spend money? Zhao Clan has a rigorous style and has never done any loss-making business so far. What are you spending money on?"

"Isn't there still you? You can ask your father or your grandpa to send something over."

Tian Ya sighed: "Brother, forget it. Zhao Fan is strict, so don't embarrass Uncle Zhao. If there is a way, he would have done it long ago."

Chai Rong shook his head and said: "Zhao Kuangyin, you and Zongxin's Yandao have also made a lot of money, you can borrow it from the Zhao Clan first, and then return it to them after we escape from Tongguan, and it's okay if you join us? "

"People from the Zhao Clan don't recognize IOUs. Unless Zong Xin comes to borrow them in person, it won't work for anyone to go." Zhao Kuangyin has long lost confidence in the Zhao Clan. Knowing that the next emperor is Guo Wei, it is not up to someone surnamed Zhao to become emperor, so the Zhao Clan doesn't care about anything now, and concentrates all their efforts on funds, and only waits for Guo Wei to die before trying to find a way to fight for the world.

So at this time, Zhao Jing will not give anyone face, even if Liu Chengyou goes, it is useless. The current state of the Zhao family is to consolidate their power and wait for the opportunity.Today, grandpa will only give Zong Xin or Lei Hong this face, except for these two, no one else will benefit from the Zhao Clan.

"Otherwise... go to Lei Gong for help." Chai Rong said: "Lei Gong is my master after all, and Master Zong Xin has a deep friendship with Lei Hong, if Lei Gong knows that Tongguan is in trouble, he will definitely send enough supplies. "

"This method will not work." Tian Ya said: "Brother, in fact, we know very well that the survival of Tongguan has no impact on the general situation of the world. Now the focus is on Chang'an. Father is dispatching troops in Chang'an. It is time for supplies. Lei Does Hong have the heart to send supplies to our 3 people? Even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the strength, let alone...we don't have the value."

Tianya mentioned the important point, it is true that Tongguan has no such value for others to spend money at all.If the victory or defeat of Tongguan can affect the situation in the world, not to mention Lei Hong, even Zhao Jing will deliberately extend a helping hand to Tongguan at a loss.The key point is that the life and death of Tongguan is of no value to them. Although Guo Wei values ​​​​Tongguan because of his two sons in Tongguan, the life and death of these two people is still irrelevant to others.

Wang Pu secretly picked his thumb, not afraid that he is the apprentice of Master Zong Xin, his vision is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.Although this little kid is quite annoying, he can get to the point when he opens his mouth.

Chai Rong said depressedly: "Zhao Kuangyin, you and Master Zong Xin have made so much money, can't you even buy a little food and grass now?"

"It's not about money. The problem is that we don't have money." Zhao Kuangyin said, "It's true that we made a lot of money, but we didn't carry it with us. Do you think that people who sell things are fools? By the way, so what if we have money? Can you still lead troops to leave Tongguan to move food and grass back?"

"We can't starve to death in Tongguan. I can see that Wang Jingchong has tried his best. He has no extra food for us. Although I didn't say it clearly, the food in Tongguan has bottomed out. It won't take long for the soldiers to go on like this." We are about to starve. What's more, if we don't have enough bows and arrows and fire oil, we can't defend Tongguan, so anyone who has a way can say it."

Chai Rong looked at the few people present, and everyone was silent. It was not easy to feed so many soldiers, not to mention that these soldiers are now worthless.

Supervising Army Wang Jundao: "Actually... I have long thought that there will be such a day. I have spent no less time with Mr. Guo than you. Mr. Guo will definitely achieve great things, and there is no need for us to stick to Tongguan. You escaped with Xin'er and Brother Zhao Come on, I'll guard here alone."

"How can this be done? We are as close as brothers, how can I abandon you?" Chai Rong will never run away, this is not his style.If he ran away just like that, his adoptive father might look down on him too.

Wang Jun served as Guo Wei's supervisor together because Guo Wei trusted him.As long as Guo Wei truly trusts someone, he will treat him like a family member, and Wang Jun is one of them.

One hero and three gangs, half of the reason why Guo Wei was able to be invincible on the battlefield was due to his own ability, and the other half was due to the support of these people present.As the governor of Chanzhou, Chai Rong never left Guo Wei's side, because all his energy was spent on raising food and grass for Guo Wei, recruiting troops and buying horses. A large part of the weapons and armor of the soldiers in Guo Wei's army were made of Chai. Rong provided.

Wang Jun manages other military affairs, like a housekeeper.I seldom see Wang Jun at ordinary times, he has been dealing with all kinds of troubles for Guo Wei.In terms of hard work, Wang Jun is second only to Chai Rong.It is because Guo Wei has these two people in the army that he has no internal and external troubles, and can only be invincible if he only focuses on fighting.

In fact, in Guo Wei's army, Guo Wei is of course the most admired by everyone, followed by Wang Jun.Wang Jun's prestige is higher than Chai Rong's, but Chai Rong has always been in charge when Guo Wei is away, and Wang Jun's attainments in the art of war are indeed inferior, but he is good at handling interpersonal relationships.

"Otherwise, let's surrender, there is still a way to survive... I don't want to be trapped in the small Tongguan, where I can't even find decent wine, let alone fireworks and willow lanes, these days are almost suffocating me "The person who spoke was Shi Shouxin. He was Marquis of Yu, the personal guard of Guo Wei's tent. Shi Shouxin was originally a person who loved to eat and play. He, Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan had good brothers in the army, and these people were in the army. The status is not low.

The captives would not surrender easily without the assurance of a friend.Except for the soldiers Guo Wei originally led, he took over all the prisoners left by Li Shouzhen.Shi Shouxin's status rose immediately, because he had nearly 1 people under his command.

Shi Shoudao: "Why do we join the army? Isn't it just to have a good meal? Now I'm trapped in the city, I can't go out, and I don't know whether I will die or live tomorrow. What's the point of this? You guys Don't think I'm worthless, if there are 3 people in Tongguan, at least [-] think so."

Although Shi Shouxin's words were harsh, he was right.Since they were the soldiers of Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan, they had just experienced the hardships of defending the city, and after losing a battle, they were now surrounded again.If we can't even get enough to eat now, who will defend the city?These people have stayed in Tongguan for too long, they just want to leave, maybe after leaving, they don't have the idea of ​​continuing to serve as soldiers, it doesn't matter if their life is almost as bad as disarming and returning to the fields.

"Why is this slut meaner than me?" Zhao Kuangyin said, "You...you are not only mean enough to talk, but also meaner to look on your face. I want to beat you up."

"You're welcome, anyway, you're not the first person to say that about me." Shi Shouxin wasn't ashamed, and of course he wasn't proud of it, he just took it as a common practice.

Chai Rong said: "He is like that, with a rogue face. I think you two should stop fighting. The focus now is where to find these supplies. Not only food and grass, but also defense equipment. Who can give us these things?"

"Amitabha, goodness, goodness. It seems that only the young monk has to figure out a way." Tian Ya said: "If my master is here, let alone the [-] army, it is estimated that with another [-] we can rush out of the city and kill him. Don’t stay. The monk doesn’t have the skills of a master, so it’s no problem to get some things. Uncle Zhao, will you have to pay the bill after you’re done?”

Zhao Kuangyin curled his lips and said, "It's okay to pay the bill. Where are you going to get so much food and equipment? Don't say you can change it. Zong Xin can't change it by himself."

"I'm going to find someone to borrow it. Anyway, Xiaobai is tired of staying in Tongguan. It should be no problem for me to ride Xiaobai outside to borrow some food, grass and equipment. There is no danger with Xiaobai protecting me. I guess Master has already thought of it. It’s coming out, so we made arrangements in advance.”

Chai Rong said depressedly: "Don't make trouble, third brother, who can you borrow from? Zhao Clan and Lei Hong can't do it. How many people in the world can afford these [-] soldiers and horses? Not to mention the need for so many weapons and equipment City defense equipment, how can you, a child, have such abilities?"

"Hey hey hey, the secret must not be revealed." Tian Ya smiled and said, "Just leave it alone, I will leave Tongguan with Xiaobai later, you just wait for the food and equipment I borrowed."
