0513: Persuasion
Xu Rong's words could be said to be quite unkind, but Tian Feng only looked at Xu Rong with a surprised expression, and asked in a very inexplicable tone, "General Fei doesn't know that the imperial court has been controlled by Na Ma Teng now?" ”
"Humph! Ma Junhou is a general of the imperial court, even if it is ...... But he is still a court official, how can he control it?! Tian Juncheng's words, but they are becoming more and more unpredictable......" Xu Rong snorted coldly when he heard this, but although his words were tough, the hesitation that flashed in his eyes showed that his heart had been shaken.
Seeing this, Tian Feng shook his head and smiled, "Why is the general so reckless? What is the situation in Guanzhong now, the general must know better than us? It's just that if the general really plans to take refuge in Na Ma Teng, it is better to take refuge in my lord. After all, the general is from Youzhou......"
One sentence suddenly made Xu Rong's face change greatly, but Tian Feng didn't seem to see half of it, and continued to take care of himself, "Na Ma Teng and his subordinates are all from Liangzhou, and that Duan Xuan and others are also from Liangzhou. And Yang Ding, who killed Dong Yue, probably will also choose to take refuge in Ma Teng, after all, he is also from Liangzhou......"
"In this way, the general, a native of Youzhou, led an army of 50,000 to guard this Hangu Pass, if I were that Ma Teng, I wouldn't be at ease~" Tian Feng looked at Xu Rong with a smile and said, not caring at all about Xu Rong, whose face became more and more ugly with his words. "At that time, it won't be long before Ma Teng will definitely exchange the general with the Liangzhou people, and the general who enters Chang'an and loses his military power, I'm afraid the best outcome is just to spend the rest of his life with the title of general......"
Tian Feng's words kept stabbing at Xu Rong like a sharp knife, but on the contrary, Xu Rong had no way to refute it at all. Because this is an undeniable fact, and it is also what Xu Rong is most worried about.
You must know that even if Xu Rong has to be very reused when following Dong Zhuo, among those who have been promoted and reused under Dong Zhuo, he is the only one from Youzhou. This identity doesn't seem to have any impact on him, but in fact it is still very problematic.
For example, he is also a general under Dong Zhuo, why can Xu Rong only guard Hangu Pass, while Duan Xuan and others guard a county? Although Hangu Pass is very important, does he have to be guarded by Xu Rong himself? Among them, the identity of Youzhou obviously influenced Dong Zhuo's decision.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Li Su has not been promoted since he followed Dong Zhuo into Chang'an. The defeat, although it was also the reason, was also defeated by Sun Jian, and after accepting the punishment for a period of time, Hu Zhen was sent to guard the right Fufeng. And what about him Li Su? But he only got the false title of a tiger general. The real reason is not because the Liangzhou faction is Dong Zhuo's most important descendant? Even if Dong Zhuo didn't care, he had to consider the feelings of those people.
Seeing that Xu Rong was silent, Tian Feng hurriedly persuaded again, "Now the morale of the soldiers in the Guannai has been completely lost because of the change in Jingshi, and Hongnong's side has also fallen into chaos because of Dong Yue's murder. In this case, how long does the general feel that he will be able to hold back our army? How long will it take to wait for support? When Tian Feng said this, he suddenly showed a smile, "In addition, the news from Chang'an has been sent back to Bingzhou, and it won't be long before the lord will personally lead the army south......
"At that time, does the general still think that he can hold this Hangu Pass? Or is it that in the face of my lord's offensive, then Ma Teng can still send troops to support the general? And once this pass is lost, then Ma Teng will definitely take the opportunity to question the general, so as to deter Duan Xuan and others, who are also generals. At the same time, because of the general's stubborn resistance, it is very likely that the soldiers who will harm this level will eventually be demoted to slaves by my lord......" Tian Feng looked at Xu Rong with a smile and said, the appearance of winning in his hand made people really unhappy.
It's just a pity that Xu Rong can't refute it, indeed, Hangu Pass is very important, but that was only when Guanzhong faced Kanto. But in the face of Li Yi, who was located in the state and even occupied the northeast of the river, Hangu Pass had no effect. In this case, it would be good if Ma Teng didn't take the initiative to give up Hangu Pass, so how could he send troops to support?
After being silent for a long time, Xu Rong suddenly looked up at Tian Feng and asked in a deep voice, "If I take refuge in Wushuang Hou, can I be reused?" ”
"Then it depends on the performance of the general~ My lord has always paid attention to meritocracy, no matter where he is, no matter what his background, as long as he has enough talent, he will give him the treatment that matches it......" Tian Feng laughed when he heard this.
Xu Rong surrendered, and Tian Feng's words made his already hesitant heart firm, especially the last words. Xu Rong didn't suspect that Tian Feng was lying to him, because of Li Yi's Great Dao Academy and the recruitment order, even if he was located in Hangu Pass, he had heard a lot.
Not long after, when he saw Hangu Pass open the city gate and Xu Rong and Tian Feng appeared outside the gate together, Tong Fei's heart that had been hanging finally let go.
"General Xu, please rest assured, as long as the general serves loyally, the lord will not treat you badly." Tong Fei comforted Xu Rong in a deep voice, and did not feel rude because he was a general. Seeing this, Xu Rong originally had a little bit of worry, and then disappeared completely.
Immediately, Tong Fei led the troops into the pass, and the Xiongguan of Hangu Pass changed its owner. However, it seems that the soldiers guarding the gate did not have any hostility because of this, on the contrary, there was a sense of relief and happiness on their faces. This made Xu Rong feel more and more that he had not made a wrong choice, in fact, even if he really wanted to fight Li Yi for that Ma Teng, he would be quite reluctant, after all, in his heart, Ma Teng was just a villain who betrayed the lord and killed the lord, and that lord was still his most respected lord.
"Sir! Don't do such dangerous things in the future, although it is not for a long time, but it also makes me sit still and be very frightened! Finding a gap, Tong Fei couldn't help but whisper to Tian Feng. In this regard, Tian Feng could only smile helplessly, and said no.
Subsequently, Tong Fei convened everyone to discuss the next move.
"Fujun! Now because Dong Yue was killed, and Yang Ding was unable to convince the public, Hongnong became a mess, and Lu Fujun was attacking Hedong, so Xia Guan thought that now was the best opportunity to attack Hongnong! Guan Yu opened his mouth and proposed. As soon as the words fell, they immediately received the approval of Xu Huang, Hou Cheng and others on the side.
Obviously, taking Hangu Pass did not satisfy them, huh...... In fact, I can't be satisfied, who let Hanguguan be persuaded by Tian Feng to surrender?
"I wonder what General Xu thinks?" Tong Fei didn't answer when he heard this, but looked at Xu Rong on the side and asked.
