"Lord Qiqi, our army's garrison in Jincheng was attacked by a large number of Han Sui's old troops, our army was defeated by the enemy, Han Sui himself was also robbed by his old department, and the 1,000 men and horses that General Xu Rong went with were not spared, they were attacked by Ma Teng and Li Yi's men and horses, and they were defeated and returned, and General Xu Rong is now binding himself outside the gate to ask for guilt!"

Dong Zhuo in Hangu Pass was discussing military affairs with Jia Xu, and when it came to important points, he got such a news for no reason, which couldn't help but be disappointing.

He got up and scolded: "It's really a useless thing, even a Han Sui can't look at it, and Xu Rong too, how can he be defeated? It must be that he fornicated with Han Sui and Ma Teng, see if I don't go out and chop him with a knife!"

After saying that, Dong Zhuo drew his sword and was about to go out, Jia Xuren had already stood up and said: "The lord is angry, this matter cannot be blamed on General Xu Rong, no matter how powerful he is, he can't even count Han Sui's old subordinates to connect with Ma Teng, after all, Han Sui and Ma Teng are mortal enemies, and that Koji Yi also doesn't know the current affairs, but——"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu deliberately sold a pass, mysteriously approached Dong Zhuo's side, and said with a smile: "But all this is actually expected by the lord a long time ago, isn't it?"

Dong Zhuo squinted at Jia Xu, and suddenly laughed: "In the end, it is Wenhe, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, even I guessed this little bit of my thoughts, I deserve to be the old man's henchman!"

Jia Xu smiled: "It's not difficult, Han Sui's hundreds of thousands of old departments, the lord really wants to swallow it in one bite, but swallowing it is one thing, and it is another thing to use it well, although most of them belong to the lord now, but it is still difficult to guarantee that there will be people who care about Han Sui, compared to General Xu Rong's frustration of this defeat, the lord should be more glad that there is no news of the departure of the old Han Sui in the camps!"

Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, Wen He's analysis is really penetrating, so Xu Rong's fault is over?"

Jia Xu said: "Not only don't care about General Xu Rong's mistakes, but reward him greatly, so that General Xu Rong will be more loyal to the lord!"

"Haha, good!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand and ordered the soldier, "Let Xu Rong come in!"

After a while, Xu Rong, who was shirtless and his hands tied behind his back, walked in under the leadership of the soldiers, and knelt down when he saw Dong Zhuo, and said uncontrollably: "The last crime is about to be punished, and I hope the lord will forgive!"

When Dong Zhuo saw this scene, he immediately left his seat, listened to the fat body twisted in front of Xu Rong, suddenly pulled out the saber of the soldier next to him, and without saying a word, he slashed towards Xu Rong, seeing that everyone else's eyes widened in surprise, Xu Rong himself also smiled bitterly and closed his eyes helplessly.

How do you know that when the knife fell, Xu Rong not only did not feel a trace of pain in his body, but as soon as his arm was loosened, the rope that had bound his hands fell to the ground, Xu Rong opened his eyes in surprise, and said to himself with doubts: "Lord, this?"

Dong Zhuo snorted, threw the saber back into the soldier's hand, and then pointed at Xu Ronglang and said: "I have heard about you, although you have lost 1,000 men and horses, but you have also injured more than 3,000 enemies, and you yourself are also wounded, what do I Dong Zhuo rely on to become famous in Xiliang, it is a clear reward and punishment! If you fight hard to kill the enemy and end up being punished, then who will follow the old man with all her heart? I have already decided, and from now on, I will show the court that you are the general of the tiger and the middle!"

Xu Rong listened, and was sincerely afraid, Dong Zhuo himself is a former general, but none of the 200,000 generals in the army under his command are Zhonglang generals, even Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu is just a lieutenant, if Xu Rong becomes the position of Zhonglang general because of this defeat, I am afraid that those who are not convinced by him, a poor family from Liaodong, will be more squeezed out by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang generals.

Thinking of this, Xu Rong immediately kowtowed on the ground and begged Dong Zhuo to take back his fate: "The lord thinks twice, since ancient times, there has been no merit and no luck, besides, the last general was sealed because of defeat, it is really difficult to obey his fate, and the last general will feel that this is a humiliation to the last general!"

"Eh!" Xu Rong's reaction was so big that Dong Zhuo didn't expect it, he looked at Jia Xu with an inquiring gaze, only to see Jia Xu smile and persuade Xu Rong: "The general has misunderstood, the lord has made it very clear, the capable are up, and the mediocre are the criteria for the lord to use people, otherwise how could the lord's power develop into today's trend of burning the prairies? The general can't just think about his own innocence, but also think about the subordinates under his command, General Xu Rong's military exploits are impressive, who doesn't know, if it weren't for the former official position of the lord, he would have already reached the position of the miscellaneous general, once the lord entered Luoyang, he was awarded the title of King Qin, and he could be the third duke, the extreme of the ministers, at that time, the lord would also count on the general to rebel against the lord fairly, this burden is very heavy!"

Xu Rong is not a dull-minded person, after Jia Xu's little push, he immediately woke up, Dong Zhuo is trying to achieve the prestige of a general like He Jin by force, but why has the army been stationed in Hangu Pass and not entered Luoyang?

As if noticing Xu Rong's doubts, Jia Xu leaned closer to Xu Rong and whispered: "The general doesn't have to be confused, the lord spent so much effort to support Gao Yi and Ye Seventeen, but nominally He Miao and Lu Zhi, Xu Xiang, Zheng Tai, Yang Ci, Cao Song, Xun Shuang, Yuan Kui jointly manage the military, political, financial and other powers of the imperial court. Besides, Ding Yuan occupies the Tiger Prison Pass and the Yuyuan Pass, and as soon as the gates of these two checkpoints are opened, the armies of Zhang Yang, Bao Xin, Cao Cao, and Wang Yun outside will pour into Luoyang——"

Speaking of this, Xu Rong immediately interrupted Jia Xu, these are what military secrets, if Jia Xu is allowed to say it blindly, he is afraid that he will know more secrets and be feared by Dong Zhuo, thinking of this layer Xu Rong couldn't help but have a layer of cold sweat behind him, he looked at Dong Zhuo not far behind Jia Xu, and said respectfully: "The last general is just a martial artist, only do what a martial artist should do, other things are inconvenient to ask, and he will not ask, but the lord has orders, and the last general will be executed now!"

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Xu Rong's performance, he groaned for a while, and then ordered sharply: "Xu Rong listens to the order!"

"The last general!" Xu Rong didn't dare to slack off, clenching his fists and waiting for Dong Zhuo's orders.

Dong Zhuo was not ambiguous, and said proudly: "I order you to take 3,000 men and horses, stationed near Xiaopingjin, and when the Niu Fu army arrives, he will join forces with him to fight, and take advantage of the situation to capture Xiaopingjin in the name of conquering the white wave thief Han Xian!"

"Xiao Pingjin?" Xu Rong was slightly puzzled, wasn't that a dangerous pass occupied by Ye Seventeen's men and horses, how could it be easily attacked?

Jia Xu's words relieved Xu Rong's doubts: "Ye Seventeen's whereabouts are unknown after the first battle of Songshan, and the chief public security inserted in Gao Yi's detailed investigation found that Ye Seventeen died with Zhang Rang in Songshan's organs, originally I didn't believe in such an almost absurd thing, but recently Luoyang, Xiaopingjin, Mengjin's Ye Seventeen men and horses are all in a state of leaderlessness, Hu Cai and Li Le also led the remnants of the White Wave Thieves to Xiaopingjin after the defeat of Songshan, and now even Ye Seventeen's loyal subordinate Mei Ji has sent someone to see the lord, and it seems that he has the intention of serving the lord——"

Speaking of which, he was interrupted by Xu Rong again, he didn't understand what happened to Jia Xu today, he wouldn't have said so many confidential things to him on weekdays, but not only did he say it today, but he was out of control, Xu Rong was really afraid that he knew too much and couldn't get out of this Hangu Pass.

"The end of the military division understands the meaning of the general, and the last general will definitely assist General Niu Fu and take down Xiao Pingjin!"

Xu Rong said, and at the same time shook Dong Zhuo, and then trembled and withdrew, now he is still naked, and now it is the cold winter weather of Layue, it is a miracle that he can hold on for so long without being frozen and fainted.

"This Xu Rong is really a timid guy!" Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Rong, who was almost jumping out of the door, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Jia Xu raised his hand, and said with white breath in his mouth: "The lord is wrong, General Xu Rong is not cowardly, he is more brave than anyone else on the battlefield, and he usually governs the army well, and for politics, he is only obedient to the orders of the lord, this is a kind of smart, knows how to advance and retreat, is a general, and is the kind of general who will not cause trouble to others!"

Dong Zhuo was naturally happy in his heart, if he could have more doers like Xu Rong who had the ability to fight for fame and fortune, even if there were ten Gao Yi, he would not be afraid.

Now Ye Qiqi's life and death are unknown, and the overall situation of Luoyang can't be suppressed by Mei Ji alone, so she will ask Dong Zhuo for help, but what Dong Zhuo can't understand is that Gao Yi and Cao Cao, Ding Yuan, Wang Yun, Bao Xin and others led nearly 100,000 troops to be stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass, why didn't Mei Ji join these people?

Thinking like this in his heart, Dong Zhuo looked up at Jia Xu, and asked in a deep voice, "Mei Ji, what do you think of Wen He?"

Jia Xu touched his eight-character beard, squinted his eyes and said quietly: "This person was originally a bloody person, and then took refuge in Zhang Yan, seeing that Ye Seventeen was gaining momentum and turned to Ye Seventeen, now that the lord is in full swing, she will naturally not be ignorant of current affairs!"

Dong Zhuo let out a sigh: "No matter what she thinks, I have the right to continue, but I can't say what she says, Wen He is right with you, since we are here in the name of quelling chaos, naturally there must be chaos, you send someone to Luoyang, let this Mei Ji try to make the situation in Luoyang tense, it is best to provoke the conflict between the eunuch forces and He Miao and the courtiers Qingliu, so that I can enter Luoyang justifiably!"

"I'm afraid this is a little difficult for her, right?" Jia Xu said.

Dong Zhuo shook his head: "It's not difficult, there is still a Yuan Shao in Luoyang, you have always gritted your teeth against eunuchs, maybe this time, he can do a good thing for us!"
