41. Help each other
Although Li Ru knew that Xu Rong's visit this time was by no means for nothing, he didn't expect that the other party came to him for the sake of the prisoner camp, he subconsciously coped with it, and remembered Dong Zhuo's personal instructions in Dong Zhuo's big tent just now, his heart was vigilant, and after thinking about it, he asked rhetorically:
"It seems to be a little impressed, I don't know what Captain Xu is asking for?"
Li Ru did not answer Xu Rong's question clearly, but instead made a statement to test Xu Rong's purpose of coming here, which was a little inappropriate with his original intention of trying to win over Xu Rong. www.biquge.info But Dong Zhuo had already ordered three times before that the affairs of the prisoner camp should be handed over to himself, and other generals had no right to interfere, even Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, who originally planned to take the opportunity to expand the strength of their subordinates, could not get additional opportunities, and Li Ru naturally would not joke with his future in this matter.
You must know that although this plan to raise a coward was implemented not long after due to the changes in the times, if this crime of raising a coward's self-respect is leaked, it will still cause a catastrophe. Dong Zhuo is sitting on a large army, and the imperial court naturally can't help him. But the actual operator, Li Ru himself will be pulled out of the charge of making unauthorized claims and harboring bad intentions.
The stakes are very high, and Li Ru must not be less vigilant.
Xu Rong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Li Ru's vigilant look, he had always been steady and serious, not good at disguise, and he could only cover up the past with a dry smile at the moment.
In the Dong camp, there is a clear gap between the various armies, and except for Dong Zhuo, the other generals have no right to govern matters other than the troops and horses under their command. Therefore, although Xu Rong is in the position of captain, he knows very little about the transfer of other horses except for his own people.
These days, although Xu Rong inquired about the whereabouts of the people in the prisoner camp through the channels in the army, he got very little information. It's just that I can roughly know that the matter of the prisoner camp was personally handled by Master Li in the army, and as for the whereabouts of those prisoners, I don't know anything.
Today, Xu Rong personally came to visit Li Ru, just to know whether that Yan Yan had flowed into Li Ru's command, in his opinion, this rebel general escaped from his own hands, and was captured by his nephew from the mountain settlements, his own family contributed a lot, and it should not be treated as an ordinary prisoner. If it is really under Li Ru's command, his own family will try to bring this strong general over again.
Therefore, Xu Rong was also frank about this matter, he started from chasing the rebels on the edge of the water, to the rebel general rushing out of his encirclement, and then to Xu Kun being ordered to lead the army to clear the rebel remnants and capture the prisoners, and finally to meet again in the prisoner camp······
At the end of the words, Xu Rong looked at Li Ru and clenched his fists and said solemnly:
"If that strong general is Yan Yan, then he is really fierce and rebellious, and his person has a lot to do with him, if he really listens to it under the command of the main book, he is brave and courageous, and he wants to ask for his person, and he hopes that the master book will be fulfilled!"
Seeing Xu Rong's solemn face, Li Ru couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly said:
"Captain Xu's words are serious, as you said, this person is a warrior in the world, and if this person can be surrendered in the army, it is also a great general, originally Captain Xu came in person, and Confucianism should have agreed, but——"
"Just what?"
Seeing that Xu Rong was mobilized by his words, and his face showed a hint of eagerness, Li Ru secretly laughed a few times in his heart. If Xu Rong didn't say it today, he would almost forget that the leader of one of the dozens of "rogues" secretly dispatched was indeed called Yan Yan.
Li Ru still attaches great importance to the plan to raise the Kou, not only to take hostages and send guides to those "rogues", but also secretly sent rangers to follow and look for traces.
After these days, except for some of these dozens of rogue bandits who were wiped out at both ends of the first rat and some who were absorbed because of heavy losses in attacking the dock fort, the other "rogues" all took advantage of the loopholes left by Dong Jun privately and successfully captured many powerful dock forts. One of them, the pseudonym "Fei Lian", was quite fierce, wandering everywhere, successively captured several dock forts, plundered gold and silver treasures are incalculable, and also wantonly expanded the number of people and horses, faintly there are signs of occupying the mountain as the king.
The leader of this group of "Fei Lian" rogues is named Yan Yan.
Originally, Dong Jun moved eastward, and Li Ru also received a secret letter from the guide sent to monitor the other party, and the letter said that this person admired Wang Hua and was of great use. Li Ru is preparing to organize this gang of rogues into an army in the next few days and cultivate them into the army as his own secret sons. Unexpectedly, this Yan Yan also attracted Xu Rong's attention, and he wanted to recruit him into his command.
Li Ru instantly thought in his own heart, he wanted to win over Xu Rong, a powerful faction in the army, and also install his cronies in the army, and this Yan Yan attracted Xu Rong's attention, and Xu Rong wanted to recruit him to his command······
After thinking about the benefits and losses, Li Ru smiled, looked at Xu Rong, who was already a little impatient, and replied with a smile:
"It's just that the lord has already made a decision on this matter, and this matter is very important, and it can be easily decided by a non-Confucian person."
Speaking of this, Li Ru paused deliberately, and after satisfying Xu Rong's appetite, he continued:
"However, I have a tacit understanding with Captain Xu, just like an old friend, this person belongs to the captain, and Confucianism should try his best to help the captain!"
Hearing that Li Ru was willing to help and transferred Yan Yan to his command, Xu Rong was overjoyed, and he clasped his fists and saluted and said:
"In this way, it depends on the power of the master book!"
"Haha, Confucianism should do his best, speaking of which, Confucianism will be ordered to go to Liangzhou in recent days, since Yan Yan is a person from Liangzhou and is in and out of the rebels, it is expected that it will be of great benefit to Confucianism and his party, but when the time comes, he will have to borrow someone from the captain again!"
"The master book but there is an invitation, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, Rong is not a person who does not know the number of etiquette, he should agree!"
It seems that Xu Rongnai is the general of the battle array, and at this time he was already happy to get Li Ru's promise to help, and he didn't seem to doubt Li Ru's words, maybe he knew that Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's confidant, and most of the things he did were to follow the orders of the former general, and he was the general who led the troops, so he should not meddle in these things, so he simply agreed.
Li Ru saw Xu Rong's appearance, and his heart was also secretly happy, he kept quiet, continued to talk with Xu Rong, and turned to talk about the way to attack and deploy the battle, during which there was no lack of opportunities to tout Xu Rong's ability to use troops, and repeatedly talked about Xu Rong's proud defeat of the rebels in Chencang City.
The two of them got what they needed, and their hearts were happy, and Li Ru intended to recruit Xu Rong to help him in his army, so his words also deliberately fit the mind of Xu Rong and other generals who fought on horses, so the two people sitting under the tent talked happily and talked for a long time.
In the end, when Xu Rong said goodbye and left, Li Ru was already cordially arm-in-arm to send each other, and the two were like old friends, so they stood outside the tent to say goodbye, and made an appointment to warm wine and moxibustion in the coming day, and then talk freely.
Li Ru looked at Xu Rong's sturdy figure in the distance, and slowly put away the amiable and happy expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose, and a trace of unfathomable smile appeared.
