Chapter 102

"This time, I still cannot stay long, so I should take my leave!"

After chatting for a while, Zuo Feng stood up to take his leave.

"Good! I will see Lord Zuo off!"

"In addition, I have prepared two more boxes of local specialties. It's the same as before: the small box is for Lord Zuo, and the large box is for Lord Zhang! Please, Lord Zuo, accept them on their behalf!"

As he spoke, Su Xuan waved his hand at the personal guard on the side, and the guard immediately left.

Not long after, he brought people to carry over two boxes.

The boxes this time were much larger than the last ones.

Zuo Feng opened them to take a look and was even more satisfied.

"Then many thanks, General Su! I am leaving!"

Zuo Feng immediately smiled and cupped his hands at Su Xuan, then had people carry the boxes, and left unhurriedly.

"The face of this eunuch is really annoying! I don't know when I won't have to look at their faces anymore!"

After Zuo Feng had gone far away, Dian Wei, who was beside Su Xuan, couldn't help but mutter.

"Wait slowly! That day will not be too far away!"

Su Xuan smiled faintly.

It was just spending some money and saying some nice words; he didn't think there was anything to it.

In officialdom, who doesn't need to do this when meeting anyone?

You can't discriminate against them just because Zuo Feng and the others are eunuchs, right?

Compared to the faces and methods of officials and noble families like the Yuan family, Zuo Feng and the others were actually quite easy to get along with.

As long as you give them money, it's fine.

"Let's go! Go to the military camp and take a look!"

As he spoke, Su Xuan took Dian Wei to the military camp in the city.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

At this time, in the barracks, Wen Pin and Huang Zhong were training the 3,000 surrendered soldiers recruited from the Huang Jin army in full swing.

Because they had selected the batch with the best physiques, after 2 days of training, they looked a little bit like soldiers.

But they were still far from truly possessing combat power, let alone comparing them to the Black Armor Army.

"My lord!"

Seeing Su Xuan arrive, Wen Pin and Huang Zhong hurriedly handed over the affairs in their hands to the deputy general and ran over with small steps.

"Has the reward come down yet?"

Huang Zhong and Wen Pin couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm! It has!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "His Majesty appointed me as Commandant of Cavalry, with a rank comparable to 2,000 shi, and also gave me the power to command 10,000 troops;"

"Therefore, I need you to go back to the surrendered Huang Jin soldiers and select 3,000 more people as new recruits to join the training."

"In addition, the situation in Yanzhou is critical, and His Majesty has ordered me to rush to support them as soon as possible;"

"Therefore, we cannot wait for this batch of new recruits to finish training!"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan looked at Wen Pin and said: "Therefore, I need you, Zhongye, to lead these 6,000 new recruits to continue to be stationed in Wancheng for training;"

"At the same time, coordinate with Qin Jie to clear out the remaining Huang Jin rebels in various parts of Nanyang;"

"This can also be considered as training troops!"

"I will take Hansheng, Dian Wei, and the entire Black Armor Army to Yanzhou to support them. Are you willing?"

There was no other way. New recruits needed training, and if no one was left here, it wouldn't be able to proceed, and it would be easy for Qin Jie and the others to take advantage of the loopholes. Su Xuan was not stupid.

"This subordinate is willing!"

Wen Pin cupped his hands and accepted the order without hesitation.

Since it was Su Xuan's order, he was fine with anything.

He knew that the training of these new recruits was related to the master's future plans and career, and it could not be neglected.

Someone had to stay behind.

In terms of martial arts and commanding troops, he was not as good as Huang Zhong, and that reckless man Dian Wei didn't understand how to train troops, so it had to be him.

"If only there were more usable generals under the master's command! That way, I could also follow the army on the expedition!"

Wen Pin thought to himself.

"Good!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction and patted Wen Pin on the shoulder to comfort him: "I have wronged you and made you work hard, Zhongye! Rest assured, if you stay behind to train the troops and give me the 6,000 new recruits, once they are well-trained, I will also record a great merit for you." "Yes!"

Wen Pin was immediately overjoyed: "I will definitely not fail the master's heavy trust."

Great merit is good!

It can be exchanged for many good things. If he gains another great merit, he will be able to exchange for the Heaven-Devouring Storage Art.

At that time, his strength will also grow rapidly, and perhaps he will be able to catch up with Hansheng and Dian Wei.

Soon, the time came to the evening.

Su Xuan took Wen Pin, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei to attend the victory banquet.

During the banquet,

Qin Jie asked Su Xuan: "Boyuan, His Majesty has ordered you to reinforce Yanzhou. Do you have any plans?"

"When do you plan to set off? At that time, I will prepare enough grain and military equipment for you in advance!"

It looked like concern, but in fact, he hoped Su Xuan would leave early.

So that he could monopolize the remaining merits of suppressing the bandits in Nanyang, and at the same time, master the entire Nanyang as soon as possible.

Su Xuan staying here always made him feel a bit uncomfortable, and he still had to share the merits with Su Xuan.

"Haha! I was just about to tell Brother Qin about this!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly when he heard this and replied immediately: "The situation in Changshe is critical. I heard that General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun are both besieged in Changshe. I am afraid that if I delay, something will happen, so I plan to set off in three days;"

"However, this time I only plan to take my original three thousand iron cavalry with me;"

"As for the new recruits, they have just been recruited, and their military discipline and strength are completely unguaranteed. They will only hold me back;"

"Therefore, I plan to let my general Wen Pin stay in Wancheng with the new recruit camp;"

"For one thing, to continue training, and for another, to help you, my lord, clear out the remaining Huang Jin rebels in Nanyang as soon as possible;"

"We can also take this opportunity to train troops, hoping that they will improve their combat power as soon as possible, so that they can rush to Yanzhou to assist me. What do you think, my lord?"

"This..."
