The book is picked up again.

After making up his mind, Dong Zhuo no longer dwelled on the affairs of the prince, nodded at Li Ru, and said, "Since this is the case, then do what you say."

That's right! ”

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo patted his forehead and asked with curiosity: "You said that the alliance of princes will be divided into three forces because of Luoyang and Yuxi.

However, you have only introduced two strands just now, so what will happen to the remaining forces? ”

"Humph!" After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru snorted coldly, looked in the direction outside the city, and said with a cold face: "The remaining forces will definitely die!" ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he asked curiously, "Why?" ”

After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's inquiry, he looked in the direction outside the city and muttered to himself: "Most of the princes who came to participate in the alliance were not for the sake of saving the little emperor, but for their own ambitions!"

Therefore, the last remaining forces, after getting the jade seal, will definitely be aroused by the jade seal.

And with ambition comes that strong desire!

Once a party has its own desires, it will no longer work with Cao Cao!

When the time comes, they will definitely not admit the matter of the jade seal.

At that time, we can send some fine work to expose the matter of the jade seal.

At that time, even if Cao Cao is reluctant, he can only endure the pain to wipe out this force! ”

"Impossible, right?" After Dong Zhuo heard this, he scratched the back of his head and asked with a frown: "Even if Cao Cao is dissatisfied with that force's private possession of the jade seal, it is impossible to wipe him out, right?"

If he does this, isn't he afraid of the death of other princes? ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Li Ru sneered twice and said, "Cao Cao has to do this!"

The reason why he formed the alliance of princes was to save the little emperor and preserve the dignity of the Han Dynasty.

And the jade seal is one of the faces of the great man, if the jade seal is lost because of Cao Cao, then he will not be able to explain it to the world!

Therefore, in order to give an explanation to the people of the world, he will definitely find a way to recapture the jade seal.

When the time comes, he will definitely salute first and then soldier!

First of all, he asked for the jade seal from the people of that force, and if he couldn't get it, then he could only erase that force and take back the jade seal!

And this is exactly what we want, once Cao Cao makes a move, then the other princes will definitely have a sense of sadness for the death of the rabbit and the fox!

When the time comes, the hearts of the princes' alliance will be scattered!

In this way, Cao Cao will no longer be able to continue attacking me and waiting! ”

"Good!" After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he clapped his hands and applauded: "In this case, everything will be done according to Wenyou's wishes!"

As long as you can disintegrate the alliance of princes, it's just a Luoyang, and you can lose it! ”

After finishing speaking, he asked Li Ru again, "Then what should I do now?"

Is it a direct retreat? Or resist for a while and then retreat? ”

When Li Ru heard this, after thinking for a while, he said: "I can't withdraw the army directly, because that Cao Cao is not easy to get along with!"

If I wait to withdraw directly, it will make him suspicious, and if he becomes suspicious, then it will be difficult for me to plan against him!

Therefore, when we wait to fight and retreat, even when we retreat, we also make an appearance of resisting as much as possible, so as to dispel Cao Cao's suspicions! ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo frowned and thought for a long time, then scratched the back of his head irritably, and said, "Forget it!" I don't understand the truth of this!

However, since Wenyou said so, there must be a reason for you, so I'll leave it all to you! ”

"Whoa!" After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he bowed slightly to him and responded.

Then, he turned his gaze to Xu Rong and ordered: "You go and strengthen the city gate again, and then arm all the soldiers in the city."

When the alliance of princes enters the city, you must do everything you can to stop them, so that they will not be easily defeated.

However, you don't have to stalk them, just let them feel the resistance and you can retreat.

And ......"

Speaking of this, Li Ru glanced at Xu Rong with a complicated expression, and then ordered: "In the process of retreating, you have to fight and retreat at the same time, don't let them see the suspicions, and make them feel that you have done your best, do you understand?!" ”

After hearing Li Ru's words, Xu Rong did not answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he nodded reluctantly and said, "Please rest assured that the last general will definitely do his best to complete the task of the military division." ”

Xu Rong didn't dare to say anything, because he had never fought this kind of battle, who would still bring acting when he fought a war?

"Hmm" Li Ru also heard the lack of confidence in Xu Rong's words.

However, Li Ru did not blame Xu Rong, because no one had ever fought this kind of battle, and even if something went wrong, he could not be blamed.

Therefore, Li Ru comforted: "You don't have to be pressured, just fight according to your own ideas."

Anyway, we have fewer men than the princes' coalition army, no matter whether you are acting or really fighting with them, it is impossible to win!

So ......"

After saying this, Li Ru's face became even more ugly, he stared at Xu Rong deadly, and said word by word: "When necessary, you just need to ensure that you can get out of the way, don't worry about those soldiers!"

As the saying goes: Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, you are more important than those soldiers! ”

Xu Rong's face changed after hearing Li Ru's words, of course he understood what Li Ru meant.

Li Ru asked him to give up the army of more than 40,000 people when he couldn't do anything, and leave himself alone!

"......Huh" After Xu Rong understood the meaning of Li Ru's words, he let out a long breath, looked at Li Ru with a resolute face, and promised: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely find ways to preserve the strength of our army!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Rong turned his head and left.

After Xu Rong left, Dong Zhuo looked at his back, frowned, and asked Li Ru on the side: "Wen You, you let him give up the army when necessary, but he replied that he should do his best to preserve the army.

It can be seen that Xu Rong didn't understand what you meant at all, why didn't you explain it to him again? ”

"Hehe......" After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru shook his head with a smile and said, "The lord is thinking about it."

Xu Rong had already understood what his subordinates meant, but he didn't plan to follow his subordinates' arrangements. ”

"What?!" After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he glared at him and said angrily: "He dares to disobey your orders?!"

Doesn't he know that you are now giving orders in place of your own appearance?!

Your word is the command of the Image!

In other words, this time, Xu Rong intends to disobey the order of the original appearance?! It's against him! ”

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo planned to ask Xu Rong to catch him back and teach him a good lesson.

Dong Zhuo hates others for disobeying his orders the most, especially now!

Now, Dong Zhuo's strength has been greatly damaged, so his heart is very sensitive.

Once someone disobeys his orders, he will feel that that person must see that his strength has been greatly damaged, so he has a different heart!

Therefore, Dong Zhuo was furious after knowing that Xu Rong did not intend to obey Li Ru's orders.

"Lord, stop your anger and ......" Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was going to arrest Xu Rong, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't stand in the way!" Dong Zhuo shook his sleeves vigorously, broke free from Li Ru's pull, and said loudly: "The prime minister must teach Xu Rong a good lesson!" so that he may know that no one can disobey the orders of the true appearance! ”

When Li Ru heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, lord, all this is a plan of his subordinates!" ”

"Huh?" After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he stopped struggling, looked back at him, and asked, "You mean, you already thought that Xu Rong would disobey the order?" ”

"That's right" Li Ru nodded, and said: "Since Xu Rong recognized the lord as the master, he has been doing things under his subordinates, and no one knows him better than his subordinates!"

Xu Rong has an old-fashioned temperament, but he is quite talented, and he loves soldiers like a son.

However, no one is perfect, and if you let him go on a combat mission, then he can do his best.

However, if he is allowed to act, then I am afraid that he will not be able to act for long before he is exposed.

Therefore, his subordinates still gave him the order to abandon the army when he was forced to do so, knowing that he would disobey the order.

The subordinates did this in order to provoke his rebellious mentality!

According to his soldier-like character, he will definitely not obey the orders of his subordinates.

Therefore, when the time comes, he will definitely do his best to preserve the strength of the army!

If Xu Rong wants to preserve the strength of the army, then he can only find ways to snipe the enemy army, so as to get a chance to escape.

And that's exactly what the subordinates want!

His subordinates just want to let the coalition know through his actions that we did not flee without a fight, but fled after experiencing a hard resistance against the coalition of princes!

In this way, Cao Cao will no longer suspect our motives for escaping, and he will not be aware of our future plans! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ru looked at the door of the hall with a complicated face.

If it was possible, he didn't want to calculate his own men.

However, now, he can only let go of the unwillingness in his heart and calculate Xu Rong.

Because he has no generals available at his command!

Although Lu Bu can also complete this task, Lu Bu is very untrustworthy!

During these three months of free time, Li Ru accidentally discovered that Lu Bu and the hussar general's envoy, Mr. Mu, were very close.

Therefore, Li Ru felt that the current Lu Bu was no longer credible.

Because no matter what, once you get involved with the hussar general, it will become very troublesome!

Because of this, Li Ru can only pin his hopes on Xu Rong.

And Xu Rong is too old-fashioned to act, so Li Ru will calculate him!

"Huh......" Dong Zhuo let out a long breath after hearing Li Ru's explanation, and looked at Li Ru with a complicated face.

He really didn't expect that Li Ru's calculations would be so clever that Xu Rong, a commander, would unknowingly fall for his scheme.

"Fortunately, fortunately, ......" Dong Zhuo secretly rejoiced in his heart at this time: "Fortunately, Wen You is the son-in-law of Benxiang, otherwise, Benxiang really wouldn't dare to use him!" ”

Then, Dong Zhuo thought of Xu Rong's safety again, so he hurriedly asked, "Then how to ensure Xu Rong's safety?"

Although Xu Rong is a bit old-fashioned, he is a rare handsome talent, and it is a pity that he is lost here.

Wenyou, do you have a way to save his life? ”

When Li Ru heard this, he replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, my subordinates have already made arrangements."

After Xu Rong completed his mission, even if he was unwilling to retreat, his guards would stun him and take him away.

Therefore, the lord does not have to worry about his safety. ”

"That's good!" Dong Zhuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Ru's words.

Originally, a general like Xu Rong, Dong Zhuo didn't care about his life or death at all.

But after the attack of the alliance of the princes, Dong Zhuo suddenly found that the generals under his command were very useful.

One more general, one more point of victory!

Therefore, the current Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to generals like Xu Rong.

If in the past, Dong Zhuo didn't bother to care about Xu Rong's life and death!

………

After Xu Rong left Dong Zhuo's mansion, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses in the city.

Whether it was the intact soldiers or the wounded soldiers who were already scarred, they were all gathered together by Xu Rong.

Now, when it is time for life to survive, he can only be ruthless and let these wounded soldiers go to the battlefield!

After gathering all these soldiers together, Xu Rong prepared a set of armor for each of them.

Fortunately, after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he found a lot of armor from the treasury of Emperor Han Ling.

Otherwise, these 40,000 people would not have been armed.

"Report ......" was when Xu Rong was reorganizing the army, and there was a soldier covered in blood, who was running towards this side, and reported loudly as he ran.

"General Qiyu, the coalition forces outside the city have entered the city!

At this time, they are clearing the boulders that are blocking the gates of the city, and it won't be long before they can open the gates! ”

When Xu Rong heard this, he didn't pay too much attention to it, this was already something he expected, and he was mentally prepared.

Therefore, after hearing the news, he immediately waved his hand at the army behind him and shouted loudly: "Prepare for war!" ”

After finishing speaking, he summoned his own guards and whispered to him: "Wait a while, you will take five thousand people to open the city gate in the direction of Luoyang City."

Then, you will secretly escort the lord back to Luoyang.

Remember, along the way, you can die, and so can you, the 5,000 men.

However, don't let the lord lose a single hair!

Otherwise, even if you wait for death, Ben will crush your bones and scatter ashes! Hear no!! ”

"Whoa!" After hearing Xu Rong's words, the guards clenched their fists with a serious face and responded loudly: "Please rest assured, even if we are crushed to pieces, we will never let the lord lose a single hair!" ”

"Hmm" After Xu Rong heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he waved his hand at the guards and said, "That's it, you go, be careful along the way, don't fall into the enemy's ambush." ”

After answering the "huh" pro-guard, he gave a deep salute to Xu Rong, and then he decisively turned his head and left.

"Hu ......" After waiting for the guards to leave, Xu Rong let out a long breath, with a look of determination on his face, and muttered to himself: "Now that everything is arranged, the general has no worries!"

In that case, then let Ben have a good deal with you! ”

After saying that, he walked in the direction of the princes' alliance with a cold face.

Xu Rong was ready to die in battle at this time!

He made up his mind that if he couldn't let his army retreat, it would deal a fatal blow to the alliance of princes!

In this way, the alliance of princes can no longer continue to chase Dong Zhuo, which can be regarded as the last thing he did for Dong Zhuo.

After making up his mind, Xu Rong rode on a fast horse, commanded the army, and rushed towards the city gate.

At this time, the army under Cao Cao's command had already climbed to the top of the city, and rushed towards the city along the stairs under the city wall.

"Buzz !!"

"Ahh

"Be careful, there are traps! Get out of the way!! ”

When Cao Cao's army rushed to the city, suddenly, countless traps burst out, causing Cao Cao's army to suffer heavy losses.

"Despicable!" Xiahou Dun, who was in the lead, was also accidentally pierced through his arm by a sharpened bamboo strip, and he was so angry that he scolded.

Then, he gritted his teeth and slashed at both ends of the bamboo strip with a big knife!

"Click!" With a crisp sound, the two ends of the bamboo strip were cut off by Xiahou Dun.

"Uh-huh!" Xiahou Dun is also a good-looking person, in front of so many soldiers, he doesn't want to lose face, so he just snorted and didn't shout.

After cutting off the ends of the sticks, he did not pull out the sticks that were stuck in the flesh.

Because he knew that if he pulled out the bamboo stick now, he would immediately bleed heavily!

In order not to affect his combat strength, he was ruthless and let the bamboo stick remain in his arm.

Then, with a sharp swing of his broadsword, he shouted at the army: "Brothers, don't be afraid! These traps have already been triggered by us, and there will be no more danger!

Brothers, rush with me! ”

After finishing speaking, Xiahou Dun walked on two long legs, led the army, and rushed towards the city gate.

He was to protect the city gates so that he could buy time for the army that was clearing them.

Although Xiahou Dun really wanted to enter the city and kill him, he also knew that opening the city gate now was the most important thing!

Only by opening the city gate can Cao Cao's main army enter the city!

After Xiahou Dun led thousands of people to the city gate, it was a coincidence that Xu Rong also arrived here.

"Kill !!" When Xu Rong came here, he didn't hesitate, immediately waved his hand, shouted, and took the lead and rushed towards Xiahou Dun.

Seeing this, Xiahou Dun was not afraid, brandished the big knife in his hand, stepped on two legs, and charged towards Xu Rong.

"Wow !!"

Although Xu Rong's martial arts are not high, he thinks that it is still ...... to deal with a Xia Houdun who has no war horse Still no!

Xu Rong looked down on himself too much, he originally thought that Xiahou Dun would definitely lose his strength without a war horse, and he would definitely not be his opponent!

But he didn't expect that at the moment of the fight, Xu Rong felt that his hand no longer belonged to him, and his hand was completely unconscious!

"How is that possible?!" Xu Rong looked at the blood stains on his hands and the cracked tiger mouth with a disbelief on his face.

He only fought against Xiahou Dun once, and he was shocked by Xiahou Dun, this is because Xiahou Dun has no war horses!

Doesn't that mean that if Xiahou Dun had a war horse, Xu Rong might be killed with one move?

"Impossible! The gap can't be so big! After Xu Rong roared hoarsely, he held the blade in his hand stiffly, urged the horse, and continued to rush towards Xiahou Dun.

He didn't believe that he was so much worse than Xiahoudun!

He had studied with Zhang Liao under Lu Bu, although he could only support fifty or sixty under Zhang Liao's men, and he also knew that Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao were between the best.

In this case, it is definitely impossible for Xiahou Dun, who has no war horse, to defeat him within a hundred rounds!

Xu Rong thought that the reason why he was shattered just now must be because he was too careless and didn't use all his strength, and was exploited by Xiahou Dun.

If he used all his strength, Xia Houdun would not be able to defeat him in a short period of time!

With this thought, Xu Rong rushed towards Xiahou Dun......
