Chapter 378: Old Subordinate
"There is a reluctant request for the lowly position, and I also ask the lord to agree." Xu Rong thought for a while and said.
"Say." Zhou Fan was also in a good mood and said casually.
"The humble position is really unwilling to be the enemy of Lord Xiangguo, and the humble family is still in Luoyang now, please save them." Xu Rong pleaded.
Well! Zhou Fan glanced at Xu Rong deeply.
Regarding the fact that he didn't want to be the enemy of Dong Zhuo, Zhou Fan also said that he could understand, after all, he was his old master, and if he turned around and turned his face, it would really make people a little contemptible.
However, there is some trouble for Xu Rong's family. After all, the Xu Rong family is in Luoyang now, if Dong Zhuo knows that Xu Rong betrayed him, he will inevitably cut them first and want to rescue them, it will not be easy.
The next moment, Zhou Fan had a flash of inspiration, and shouted at everyone: "Someone came to pass my order, Xu Rong is dead, remember his loyalty, and bury him." ”
As soon as Zhou Fan's words came out, everyone was confused by Zhou Fan's inexplicable order, this Xu Rong is obviously alive and well, how can he say that he is dead.
However, the next moment, everyone reacted, and Zhou Fan wanted to let Xu Rong cheat to death.
Anyway, Xu Rong is not willing to participate in this war against Dong Zhuo, so instead of letting him stay here, it is better to let him play dead.
As long as the news of Xu Rong's death in Hangu Pass is transmitted back to Luoyang, then Dong Zhuo will not only not do anything to Xu Rong's family, but on the contrary, he will treat Xu Rong's family well in order to buy people's hearts, so that his family's lives will be saved.
As for how to rescue them from Luoyang in the future, it can only be done at the right time, as long as Xu Rong is not exposed, then Zhou Fan will have enough time to rescue them and reunite their family.
"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Rong said gratefully.
As long as you can save your family, what if you fake your death once, isn't it just to carve a monument. What's the big deal, there are more people who have used cheating and death tricks these years, and they don't care about one more Xu Rong.
"Hmm." Zhou Fan nodded and said, "You can go to Chang'an these days, it won't be easy to be exposed." As for your family, I'll find a way to get them out when the time comes. ”
"No!" Xu Rong replied respectfully, but there was a wry smile in his heart.
The feelings of Chang'an really fell into Zhou Fan's hands. He said, where did Han Sui get such a great ability, he could take Chang'an down so easily, it turned out that it was him Zhou Fan who did it.
Then it's no wonder. With Zhou Fan's army, the advantage in numbers, and the surprise attack, then Dong Yue can stop the ghost.
It's just that he is still full of doubts in his heart, how did Zhou Fan do it this time, it was only ten days after Cao Cao released the text, and Zhou Fan was able to send troops from Chengdu, first taking Chang'an, and then taking Hangu Pass, which is simply impossible. The march of the army alone may have lasted more than ten days.
Unless...... Unless he, Zhou Fan, already knew early on that Cao Cao would issue a letter to discuss Dong Wei, so he was already prepared, so he was able to take Hangu Pass in one fell swoop, which was really a little scary.
"I've seen General Zhou." At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a lieutenant came over and saluted Zhou Fan respectfully, with a slightly trembling tone in his tone, obviously a little excited to the point of uncontrollable self-control.
"You are?" Zhou Fan frowned slightly, the man in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, but Zhou Fan really couldn't remember who this person was for a while.
"Humble duty is Fang De. Sima of the Yulin cavalry who followed General Zhou to defeat the Yellow Turbans. Fang De said excitedly.
"Fang De, it's you!" Being reminded by Fang De like this, Zhou Fan suddenly became up, no wonder he thought this man was a little familiar before. Feelings: This person is Sima Fangde of the Yulin Cavalry.
I think that Zhou Fan was appointed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to ask Yulin to ride the captain, and led two thousand Yulin cavalry to follow Lu Zhi to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief, and this Fang De is one of the military Simas, and the other military Sima Zhou Fan really forgot what his name was, but he only remembered that the person seemed to be a member of the Yuan family, and he was slaughtered by himself. It was precisely because of this incident that Zhou Fan had a grudge against the old thief Yuan Feng, and he never found trouble for himself.
Therefore, this two-thousand-person Yulin rider is Zhou Fan's real soldiers and horses, so he still has a very deep affection for them, especially for this conscientious Fang De, Zhou Fan is even more impressed.
To be honest, when Zhou Fan left Luoyang, he had the idea of asking Emperor Han Ling for this feather forest ride, but in the end, due to various reasons, he couldn't do it.
And now that he has seen this Fang De here, even Zhou Fan can't help but get excited, and he also misses the original time in his heart.
"General, you still remember me, you still remember me." Fang De cried with joy. He didn't expect that five years had passed, and Zhou Fan actually remembered that he was such a person, how could he not be excited.
"Hahaha." Zhou Fan couldn't help laughing and said, "What about the brothers at the beginning, they are still there now." ”
"Here, still ......" Hearing that Zhou Fan actually called them brothers, Fang De was also very excited in his heart, and said: "At the beginning, General Zhou led us to pacify the Yellow Turban, and he also gained a lot of military achievements, and now he has become a captain of the Yue Cavalry. Although many of those brothers died in battle, and many brothers returned to their hometowns after being discharged from the army, most of them were still there, and they were pulled under their own command by virtue of their own connections. ”
Saying that, Fang De turned around and shouted at the army behind him: "Brothers, don't come over and see General Zhou soon." ”
"The lowly Wang Li has seen General Zhou."
"The lowly Qin Gu has seen General Zhou."
Immediately, many soldiers walked out and saluted Zhou Fan respectfully.
Zhou Fan was also very happy in his heart, these are all his old subordinates, especially Qin Gu and Wang Li, Zhou Fan also has some impressions.
At the beginning, he just controlled the Yulin Cavalry, in order to stand up, that is, he took the knife opened by the two of them, and later it was the two of them who killed the most ruthlessly on the battlefield, especially that Qin Gu, who seemed to have won away a good horse of his own, and now he is still by his side, and he is quite good.
"Good, good, good, Yulin Ride, now I am still willing to follow my Zhou Fan to fight on the battlefield and make contributions!" Zhou Fan asked loudly.
Fang De and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and then shouted in unison: "I am willing to serve the lord, fight on the battlefield, and make contributions." ”
"Okay, everyone enters the customs, and the three armies will be rewarded today!" Zhou Fan shouted. (To be continued.) )
