"General~~~ The envoys have already rested, so you should rest early."

Late at night, in the tent of the Changshui camp, the guards whispered to Xu Rong, who was reading the military strategy.

Looking up at the sky outside the tent, midsummer has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is already late autumn at this time, which belongs to the polar days of cold morning and evening, and getting hot day by day.

"Well~~~~ you go down first, the messengers should take care of it, don't let them miss anything, and try to provide food and drink~~~~" Xu Rong nodded and commanded a few words.

After the guards went down, vanity couldn't help but feel melancholy, these messengers one by one showed off their might, arrogant, although they desperately saved their lives, but there was no trace of gratitude, just a vigorous shouting, accusing, among them there is a sharp-beaked monkey cheek guy who keeps saying that he wants to go back to the Ming Sheng, cut his position, I really feel disheartened when I think about it, I am not as good as a dog wagging its tail in the middle of the court in the past few decades.

"Hey~~~~ The villain has ambition~~~ The villain has ambition~~" Xu Rong sighed and got up and came to the tent, looking at the stars in the sky, and recalling the bloody battle in the forest during the day, it was really a bit unbelievable.

"Where did these thieves come from? It is impossible for a mere bandit to have such strength, could it be that someone is pretending? Who is it for? I? Or are these messengers? Who have they offended? ”。

A series of questions, Xu Rong can't answer them at all, because with his character, it is impossible to think about things outside his scope, and he must not do things out of line, yes。。。。。

Three days later, Xu Rong finally sent these envoys away tremblingly, because Lu Zhi's army had come ten miles away, and he was relieved, and in two more days, these jackals would really drive themselves crazy.

Just returned to the tent, suddenly a guard came to report, "General, there is a messenger outside the camp asking to see."

"What? Messenger again? Didn't you just send it away? The messenger of that? "Xu Rong's scalp is numb, he just sent away a group of plague gods, why is there another one, could it be that he committed Tai Sui this year and collided with the messenger Xingjun?

The guard shook his head and said, "I can't ask, the person who came only said that he could only show his identity when he saw the general, but he didn't look like an ordinary person."

"~~~~Hey, okay~~~ Bring him in~~~Oh~~ I'll greet him" Xu Rong was helpless, so he had to greet him in person.

When he came to the camp gate, he saw a middle-aged scribe with two mustaches looking at him with a smile, Xu Rong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "The lower official has seen the envoy, but he didn't ask where the envoy came from?" Is there something important? ”。

"It's inconvenient here, let's talk in the tent, general~~~."

"Okay, messenger, please~~~" Xu Rong led the way, brought the messenger into the tent, stretched out his hand and waved everyone away, and said softly, "Now there is no one left and right, the messenger can rest assured."

"Hehehehe~~~ Okay, I'm the captain of the court, and I'm here to convey the holy decree, and the general will take the decree!!" The messenger laughed a few times, and suddenly his face changed and he said in a cold voice.

Xu Rong was taken aback, why did he suddenly have a holy decree issued, he was so careful to be a man, he never made the slightest mistake, and asked himself that even if he was not promoted, no one should be asked, but looking at the face of the envoy, is it really as the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said, and the official position is not guaranteed?

Thinking about it, Xu Rong still quickly knelt down to listen to the holy decree, and his respectful demeanor made the messenger secretly amused, and slowly opened the imperial shaft that he took out and read, "There is a decree in the saint, Changshui Captain Xu Rong~~ For decades, he has been doing his duty and has many merits, and this time he has made meritorious contributions to the thief, and he will be rewarded separately, and Xu Rong will be promoted to Jincheng Taishou, with a bounty of one hundred taels and fifty satin horses, and there must be no mistake in taking office immediately~~~~ General ~~~~ No~~ It should be called Xu Taishou, Xu Taishou, take the order! ”。

"Ah~~~Ah~~~Xu Rong~~Pick up~~ Decree" Xu Rong woke up from the shock, stretched out his trembling hands to take the 'holy decree', looked at it carefully four or five times, and saw that what was said above was correct, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The envoy smiled slightly, "Xu Taishou, this is the emperor's grace, you don't have to be too surprised, I heard that you have been an official for decades, and your credit is not small, and now being a Taishou can be regarded as a wish, right?" ”。

"Ah~~~ Well, it's really not easy, I, Xu Rong, also have today~~~~ Oh, the messenger, please sit down~~" Xu Rong muttered in response, only to find that the two of them had been standing all along, and hurriedly gave up their seats to the messenger.

"You're welcome~~" The envoy sat down with a smile and said, "Xu Taishou's promotion this time is really gratifying, I heard that since the Yellow Turban Turmoil, in addition to the three major lieutenant generals, who has never been canonized, Xu Taishou can be said to be the first person since the war, congratulations."

"Thank you, messenger, I don't know what the messenger is called?"

"Oh~~ under the surname Li, as for the name, I will have the opportunity to inform Taishou in the future, although Xu Taishou's promotion is gratifying, but I don't know if you know where Jincheng is?".

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, he hadn't considered this yet, although it was a promotion, or he took office immediately, but some procedures still had to be done according to reason, and Luoyang was afraid that he would have to go there, so he didn't think about it so much for the time being, shook his head and said, "It's just a little bit of a hearing, but even if it's a small city, I will manage it well, and when I finish the formalities in Luoyang, I will understand everything."

The envoy shook his head and said, "This is why I want to talk to Taishou alone, this time I came to give an edict with a secret edict, Xu Taishou doesn't have to go to Luoyang, just be ready to take office directly, and Taishou's family has already issued an order to escort me in advance, Xu Taishou can ask me if there is anything I don't understand."

"Huh? Don't go to Luoyang? Don't you have to go through that official formalities? Where is my family now? Xu Rong was a little surprised, although the secret edict knew, but it was the first time in himself, who knew how to handle it, at this time he was confused.

"Xu Taishou don't worry, I'm afraid that the family is already on the road at this time, and they will naturally meet when they arrive in Jincheng, as for the formalities~~~ Taishou has been an official for many years, don't you know that the secret edict does not need to go through the formalities, and someone will help you do it."

Xu Rong was silent for a while, this matter was too sudden, and he couldn't accept it for a while, but he checked the holy decree himself, and it was indeed true, so he didn't have too much suspicion, he had been working hard for decades, and now there was finally a glimmer of light in front of him, and he must grasp it firmly.

Xu Rong made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, since the envoy said so, then I won't go to Luoyang, and I will visit Lu Zhonglang tomorrow and take office immediately."

"Xu Taishou forgot that this is a secret edict? If you visit Lu Zhi, he will definitely know, is he not afraid of the crime of resisting the order? It's going to be a loss of head."

"This~~~ I am now a pioneer general under Lu Zhonglang's account, I can't leave without saying a word, this will also make people suspicious, if it is investigated, I am afraid that there will be a charge of disrespecting the official" Xu Rongwei is embarrassed.

The envoy smiled and said, "Xu Taishou doesn't have to worry about this, someone from Lu Zhi's side has already gone to report, if Xu Taishou is afraid of offending Lu Zhi, when he leaves, he can send someone to send a letter to inform him briefly, this time he should be relieved."

Speaking of which, Xu Rong also had to do it, and said in response, "Okay, just do what the envoy wants, I will pack my bags tomorrow and take office immediately, and the envoy of this Jincheng can tell me."

"Of course, but the general doesn't have to be alone on this trip, the saint said, you can choose the soldiers close to you to go together, there is no limit to the number, this is the saint's special kindness~~~."

Xu Rong hurriedly got up and thanked the heavens, "Thank you for the kindness of the saints, the lower officials will definitely do their best to serve the Han Dynasty."

The next day, after nearly two hours of rectification, Xu Rong finally left the barracks with his guards and some soldiers who had followed him for many years, and marched in the direction pointed by the envoy.

On a hillside, Dong Zhuo and several generals were checking the camp below, and Jia Xu next to him was also wearing a beard, squinting slightly and not knowing what to think.

At this time, a black shadow flashed, holding a human head in his hand, and came to everyone's side with a smile.

"Hehehe~~ Wei Gong really won't disappoint me, I have received another general~~~ Hahahaha" Dong Zhuo laughed wildly.

"The assassin has won the award, and I took back the head of this messenger, this time Lu Zhi, this old guy, I'm afraid he won't know Xu Rong's whereabouts until he dies, and the assassin can do it" The person who came was Li Su, and the messenger who went to Lu Zhi's camp to report the news just now was carried in his hand.

Dong Zhuo nodded, waved his hand, and saw countless black shadows flying away in the mountains, these people's body skills were more agile than the Flying Bear Army, each of them had a cold light in their hands, and it was a short thorn, and these killers rushed straight to the military camp left behind by Xu Rong after leaving.

At this time, there were less than 500 soldiers left in the battalion, and the entire battalion of soldiers was taken away by Xu Rong, which also shows that his strength in leading the troops is indeed outstanding, and he is very soldier-like.

Countless black shadows flashed into the camp in an instant, and before the soldiers who were shocked by Xu Rong's words just now could react, they were stabbed by the sudden short thorns one by one.

These soldiers are not powerless to fight back, but they were panicked by these suddenly killed dead spirits, some wanted to rush over and fight hard, but they could only die faster, and some wanted to turn around to find weapons, but they were caught off guard by the oncoming black shadows, and the rest of the soldiers ran to death, and the camp was in chaos.

"Rush outside, the general will never leave ours, go to the general~~~~~" Finally, a few teams of soldiers remembered Xu Rong who had already walked away, and wanted to rush out for help.

But as soon as they rushed to the gate of the village, they were hit by cold arrows shot from the woods, and one by one they turned over and fell, and the camp was surrounded by people for a long time, and the archers in the dark were shooting the soldiers who ran out one by one, with a cold smile on the corner of their mouths.

"Wenhe~~ This trick is really wonderful, this time I think who knows where Xu Rong is, this person is already in my palm, hahahahaha~~~" The wild laughter came out again, accompanied by the screams of those poor soldiers under the mountain.
