Chapter 476 Contact
Xu Pei said frankly: "I have received definite news that all the [-] Xixia troops who invaded Gongzhou were wiped out. Xixia completely failed in the battle for Xihe Road. It's been a few days since I was honored."

Sun Yunhu narrowed his eyes, and asked tentatively, "If I'm not mistaken, my brother and Song Jun have already had contact!"

Xu Pei didn't want to hide it in front of Sun Yunhu, so he nodded, "That's right, this is also what my father meant, to support the Song army to seize Huangzhou."

Since it was the old man's intention, Sun Yunhu put his heart down and asked with a smile: "Then what did Chen Qing promise to give you?"

"This issue has not been involved yet, but as long as we help with all our strength, I believe that he will not treat us badly."

Sun Yunhu doesn't care who will rule Huangzhou, he only values ​​interests, so Xu Pei told Hu Yanlei that the key is interests!

"Can you be more specific?"

Xu Pei pondered for a while and said: "If you want commercial interests, I can guarantee that the Sun family's wine will be sold to Qinzhou, but I advise you that commercial interests are not important at this time, and you should think about the future of your two sons!"

Sun Yunhu was unequivocal and continued to ask: "Of course I also value my son's future more. The key is what can Chen Qing give me?"

"I can recommend Peng'er to serve as an official in the Jiedu Mansion of Chengji County, and I can also guarantee that Sun Jian will continue to serve as the commander in Chen Qing's army."

Sun Yunhu pondered for a moment and said: "I believe in the promise of the good brother, but how can the good brother guarantee that Chen Qing will not think otherwise?"

Sun Yunhu said it more implicitly, meaning, why would Chen Qing act according to your ideas?
Xu Pei was confident about this matter, and he smiled slightly: "This kind of thing is a tacit understanding between the two parties. My request is not too much. Why didn't he agree? If he doesn't even have this bit of integrity, he still wants to count on my father." Help him contact the Tubo chief?"

Sun Yunhu suddenly realized that Xu Pei's grandmother was the daughter of Qingtang Khan Dong Zhan, who tried her best to prevent the conquests among several big tribes, and made the Hehuang Tubo people win decades of peace.

Although she has passed away for [-] years, she still has a high prestige among the tribes in Tubo. If Chen Qing wants to recover Jishi Prefecture and Taozhou, he really has to rely on the Xu family.

After thinking this through, Sun Yunhu nodded, "What do I need to do now?"

"I want to bring someone to meet Sun Jian. The key to our success lies in Sun Jian."

Sun Yunhu thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow at noon I will bring Jian'er to visit, you can arrange a place."

"It's at the Huangshui Restaurant. I'll be there at noon tomorrow, so feel free to come over."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden rush of horseshoes from the street outside, and someone shouted faintly: "Urgent military report! Emergency military report!"

This is when the messenger went to the general manager's mansion. Xu Pei and Sun Yunhu looked at each other in blank dismay. It should be the news from Chen Qing's army, and things might be turbulent.

It was indeed the news that the Song army crossed the Yellow River to Huangzhou City, and the [-] troops were marching towards Huangzhou City.

Ren Dejing was shocked, and immediately ordered the troops from all over the country to withdraw to Huangzhou City. At the same time, he ordered the gates of the city to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city except the army.

The atmosphere in Huangzhou City suddenly became tense. Ren Dejing ordered martial law to begin at night the next day. Once the drums sounded at the head of the city, everyone must go home immediately. He was arrested by spies from the Song Army.

The situation became very tense, so Sun Yunhu no longer went to Huangzhou Restaurant, but asked his son Sun Jian to find Xu Pei by himself.

In the backyard of the restaurant, Xu Pei introduced Sun Jian to Hu Yanlei.

Sun Jian is very young, only twenty years old, tall and strong, with strong martial arts skills, especially archery.

Hu Yanlei knew how to look at people, he saw that Sun Jian had a very heroic appearance, and his eyes were very upright, he didn't look like a treacherous person, which made him very fond of him.

The three sat down, and Sun Jian asked expectantly: "I heard that Chen Dutong is known as the number one fierce general of the Western Army. Can't you tell me how powerful Chen Dutong is?"

Hu Yanlei laughed and said: "Chen Dutong has five tiger generals, among which Niu Gao ranks fifth. He is the number one strongman in the Xihe Army. He can carry a load of five hundred catties for fifty miles. He is also very skilled in archery. The arrows hit the enemy's vital points, even Chen Dutong can't stop it in one round with such martial arts."

"Maybe it's just because he's not good at marksmanship!"

Seeing that his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Hu Yanlei smiled and said: "General Sun, why not fight me and see how many tricks you can beat me?"

Sun Jian was overjoyed and immediately found two spears.

The two stood in the courtyard with their guns in hand, shouted loudly, the tip of the gun rolled towards each other and stabbed at each other. After fifteen or sixteen rounds of fierce fighting, Hu Yanlei gradually lost his support.

"stop!"

Hu Yanlei yelled, and the two of them retracted their guns instantly.

Sun Jian was really shocked, he didn't expect Chen Qing's scout generals to be so powerful in martial arts.

Hu Yanlei smiled and said: "General Sun's martial arts are really good. I can probably withstand you for twenty rounds. You and Niu Gao's marksmanship is on par. I also fought against him and lost in twenty rounds."

"Then brother Huyan and Chen Dutong have fought?" Sun Jian asked nervously.

Hu Yanlei nodded, "I just met him face to face, and I couldn't resist his Fang Tian painted halberd stabbing."

"why?"

"Fast and heavy, his moves are very simple, there are no tricks, he stabs with a halberd, and it reaches his throat in the blink of an eye. He wants to raise the gun to go out, but he can't hold it up. Maybe he can avoid the tip of the halberd by turning sideways, but he can't dodge it." His halberd."

After Sun Jian listened, his expression was very lonely. Couldn't he be unable to hold back even one round?

Hu Yanlei laughed loudly, patted him on the arm and said, "You must not think about competing with Chen Dutong in martial arts, even Yang Zaixing, the first general of the Five Tigers, didn't have this idea. He is the master, and we are just his subordinates and generals." , it is only natural that he is stronger than us."

Sun Jian thought about it, it was indeed the case, he was really a little ignorant, he felt better again, and quickly asked: "Then brother Huyan, do you think I have a chance to be among the five generals?"

Hu Yanlei smiled slightly and said: "You are still young, and your martial arts can still improve. In the future, the Xihe Army will continue to grow, and you may be the Seven Tiger Generals or the Ten Ultimate Generals. You have a chance to fight for one of them."

Sun Jian nodded silently, how he hoped that he could become one of the top ten generals of the Western Army in the future!
At this time, Xu Pei coughed beside him and said, "Let's talk about business!"

Hu Yanlei was a little worried that Sun Jian would not cooperate with him, but now he is no longer worried.

The three sat down again, Sun Jian thought for a while and said, "Ren Dejing is very cunning, he doesn't believe us at all, he assigned tasks to his three nephews and two sons-in-law a few days ago, and every night there must be The two are on duty, and each leads an army to guard the east and west gates, if we have to cooperate inside and outside at night, a fierce battle is inevitable."

Hu Yanlei asked again: "Can your subordinates obey orders?"

Sun Jian nodded, "They are all from this city, so there is no problem with their obedience."

Hu Yanlei said again: "In fact, it is not necessary to attack the city gates, and it is completely possible to walk through the city walls, as long as your army is responsible for guarding a section of the city wall."

"I can give it a try, as long as it's not a city gate, it's not a big problem."

"In addition, I have thirty people under my command. Incorporate us into your army."

"This is totally fine!"

After a pause, Sun Jian asked again: "When will Chen Dutong lead the army to attack the city?"

"The schedule is at midnight tomorrow night!"

Sun Jian was startled, and hurriedly said: "Last night, the spies came to report that the Song army had crossed the Yellow River. Why is it that the Song army will attack the city tomorrow night? Is it so fast?"

Hu Yanlei laughed, "If Dutong can be discovered by them, it will be too late, don't worry! Song Jun will definitely arrive on time."
