7. Left
Out of Luoyang, all the way to the horse, but a few days later, Fang Xia arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass.
The army led by Lu Bu has long been stationed, but the princes are still rushing from the direction of Chenliu at this time, and I am afraid it will take a few days to arrive.
However, Tiger Prison Pass, like Luoyang, has long been under martial law, and as a front line, the management is much stricter than that of Luoyang, and it has been forbidden to enter and exit.
Although Lu Bu was a bit careless in this area, in his opinion, the battle was just for him to show his martial arts on the field, and then defeat the enemy army and let his subordinates charge, and other conspiracies and tricks were not worth the strength, so he didn't pay attention to it. But although Xu Rong is a military general, he is relatively calm and does not argue with Lu Bu, but he secretly finishes dealing with the others one by one.
In addition to those generals who are both wise and brave and famous in history, Xu Rong's more than 60 points of intelligence can be regarded as arrogant among the generals. Dong Zhuo named him a deputy general, but he was much stronger than Hu Zhen.
When Fang Xia arrived, although the city guards guarding the gate recognized her face, for the sake of their own lives, they didn't dare to let her enter the customs, so they went to report to Xu Rong's guards. As the main general and deputy general of the guard, these soldiers cannot be obtained casually. Otherwise, just come and assassinate an assassin as a minion, and everything will be solved.
When Xu Rong heard that it was Fang Xia, he came in person, stood above the closed door, and said with a stern face: "I've seen Lord Diao Chan." "Compared to the banquet, he looked much colder. If it weren't for the fact that she had been greeted very warmly before, Fang Xia was not sure that people really knew her, and the relationship was even better than that of Cheng Dù.
Fang Xia returned the courtesy, knowing that they were carrying out military affairs, and she had no interest in performing "brother and sister love" in public, so she told the truth, claiming that she wanted to go south by taking advantage of the road.
As the eastern gateway of Luoyang, the Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Although there are also paths in the mountains that can be walked by woodcutters, it is difficult for non-locals to know, and the deep mountains and old forests are very dangerous, so you may not be able to get out if you go in.
Fang Xia had no interest in taking his life to drill the forest and toss.
Xu Rong nodded, Fang Xia was from the rear of Luoyang, and there were only five followers behind him, although he was cautious, he would not waste food because of choking, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, so he ordered someone to let go of a gap and let Fang Xia enter the city.
"Lord Diao Chan, the rebel party that is crusading against the Taishi has already passed Chenliu, or the vanguard should arrive in a few days. If you're going to get out of town, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Xu Rong said.
"Thank you, brother. Fang Xia nodded, knowing that Xu Rong meant well, she didn't hesitate to thank her.
If the war starts and the swords and soldiers have no eyes, who knows what will happen? You must know that Lu Bu's army will definitely be defeated, so that the coalition army will go straight to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo will directly go down with a fire and flee to Chang'an. The longer you stay in such a place, the more likely you are to have accidents. Wasn't this why she left Luoyang before? Of course, it was impossible to delay time here.
When Xu Rong's goal was achieved, he said: "I still have military affairs on me, so I won't stay longer." Guards, send me off Lord Diao. ”
After Fang Xia waited for Xu Rong to leave, he went directly to the city gate. In the past few days, she didn't spend anything, but she consumed some food, but at this time in the Tiger Prison Pass, it was not realistic to replenish this kind of place, and the remaining things were enough to support her to the next city, so Fang Xia was not in a hurry.
Xu Rong's personal guards were very prestigious here, and Fang Xia didn't encounter any problems along the way, and went out of the city smoothly.
Lu Bu, who heard the news of Diao Chan passing by, was a step late and pounced.
Lu Fengxian has never been a patient person, he ran angrily to question the guards guarding the city, and said loudly: "Who asked you to let Master Diao Chan go?"
Where can the guards be restrained, they were so frightened by Lu Bu, the three souls went out of the body, and the seven spirits ascended to heaven, and suddenly all 1510 were explained. Of course, there is nothing to hide from this. Fang Xia is still not out of office, he is free, and he has a good relationship with the senior officials of Dong Zhuo's army, borrowing a road during the non-war period is not a big deal, and he does not need to go through five levels and kill six generals like Guan Erye.
Lu Bu also knew that the embarrassed guards had no future, so he angrily turned around to find Xu Rong, who was on patrol.
However, it is obvious that Lu Bu's deterrent power is not so effective when it reaches Xu Rong.
Xu Rong and Hu Zhen have been under Dong Zhuo's command for more than ten years, and they are also friends with each other, and he is also very unaccustomed to Lu Bu's behavior in his eyes, but he will not show it to Hu Zhen. There is a clear distinction between public and private, and now it is Lu Bu is his boss during the war, since he asked, then the answer is good. Therefore, Xu Rong explained calmly.
In this way, no matter what aspect you consider, it is the best result, and Lu Bu has no position to get angry. But he endured it, and he couldn't help it in the end, if Lu Bu could learn to forbear, there would not be such an ending in the future. Arrogance and conceit have long been carved into the bone marrow along with his martial arts, and he can't shake it off.
"It's a pity that I didn't let Lord Diao Chan appreciate the heroism of the cloth. If it weren't for you, huh!"
As a sister control, Lu Bu is very qualified. Lu Bu also thought that if Fang Xia arrived, he would leave her here, and let Fang Xia see his heroic posture of killing one enemy general after another on a single horse, guarding the Tiger Prison Pass and repelling the princes. Xu Rong let people go, and of course his dream was shattered.
In this way, Lu Bu was in a very bad mood, snorted coldly and ignored Xu Rong, turned around and went to train soldiers. Xu Rong didn't show anything excessive, not like Hu Zhen, at this time it was wartime, Lu Bu was not good to directly trouble him, so he could only show such an attitude of not waiting to see him.
Xu Rong didn't speak again, and Lu Bu didn't need him to speak anyway. However, his heart is not as calm as it seems, as Hu Zhen's friend, Dong Zhuo's old minister in the Liangzhou period, his position is naturally opposite to Lu Bu. When the two didn't face each other before, now that they look at it this way, Xu Rong feels that Lu Bu is not worried. With this kind of muscles but not brains, the consequences can be predicted after the end of the war.
However, "the birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked".
If Dong Zhuo really won, Xu Rong's idea would still be very correct, but the result was known to everyone later.
Fang Xia didn't know about this qiē that happened after she left. After learning about the actions of the anti-Dong coalition army from Xu Rong, she decided to leave this quagmire as soon as possible, and she was dusty all the way, of course, she didn't have to think about what happened after she left.
Continuing south along the Tiger Pass, you will pass through a small tribe inhabited by the people, although it is chaotic today, it is still chaotic and orderly, at least it will not reach the signs of "white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without rooster crowing" described in the later poem. The 400-year-old reign of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion opened the door to the troubled times, and the last vitality has not yet been exhausted.
After this small tribe, there are two roads to choose from, one is to go west to Chenliu, where Cao Cao is located, and it is from this road that the alliance of princes marches towards the Tiger Prison Pass. After the princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered, under Cao Cao's shirk, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu of the fourth and third princes served as the leader of the alliance.
The other is to go straight south and reach Xudu. This is where Cao Wei's future capital is located, and there will be no war in the short term.
Fang Xia traveled to avoid the war, of course, he would not hit the muzzle of the gun, so he went to Xuchang.
