Chapter 40, Xu Rong is trapped
He has always had high hopes for Yuan Shao, but what Zhao Yun said completely subverted Liu Xie's view of Yuan Shao.
Although this is the second time he has met Zhao Yun, Liu Xie believes that Zhao Yun will never lie to himself.
Liu Xie let out a long sigh, "Their affairs, I have no heart, even if I give an order, I can't restrain them." β
Following Zhao Yun's suggestion, Liu Xie made a decree with euphemistic wording, which slightly blamed Yuan Shao's many practices, as for inciting Liu Yu to be emperor, even if it was true, Liu Xie did not dare to scold Yuan Shao for this matter.
Because Liu Xie understands his own situation, now that the princes of the world have their own selfish intentions, there are a few people who can really take him seriously.
After that, Liu Xie looked at Zhao Yun expectantly, "Zilong, I want to keep you by my side, I don't know if you are willing?" β
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and his mood suddenly became calm, "Your Majesty, Weichen is grateful for Your Majesty's attention, but now although the court situation is stable for the time being, there are still internal worries and external troubles, Dong Zhuo's subordinate Qu Niu Fu and others are now stationed outside Tongguan, not only for the harm of one side, but also for Chang'an, and furthermore, the princes of all parties are busy fighting for territory and expanding their power, Your Majesty... The power that is really under your control is really pitiful, Zhao Yun is not talented, I am willing to be Your Majesty's arm, indulge in your liver and brain, and have no regrets in death, leave me by Your Majesty's side, it is better for Your Majesty to let me accumulate strength outside for emergencies. β
Zhao Yun's words, his true feelings, were completely from the bottom of his heart, and before he finished speaking, his eyes moistened again.
Liu Xie nodded heavily, "You're right, although the situation in Chang'an is stable, and it seems that the world is in my hands, but looking around, how many people really obey me?" The government was handed over to Wang Yun, and I was very relieved, but the army was under the command of Lu Bu, and I was not very relieved about this person, not to mention, Chang'an was newly determined, and the troops were already insufficient. β
Seeing that Liu Xie was depressed, he couldn't stop lowering his head and sighing, Zhao Yun didn't feel good in his heart, and when he thought that he couldn't be reused under Gongsun Zhan's account, Zhao Yun's mood became heavy again.
It's easy to say, but if you want to develop yourself, it's hard to do, even if you can get away from Gongsun Zhan, the world is so big, where should Zhao Yun go?
Nowadays, all over the Central Plains, any territory has been 'famous', the war is in full swing, and the princes from all walks of life are busy expanding, and no one is far behind.
As soon as Zhao Yun left Chang'an, LΓΌ Bu ordered Li Su to send troops to attack Niu Fu.
First, the war started, and the road was not very peaceful, and second, Cai Yong had just been tortured and his body had not yet recovered, so Zhao Yun was not walking fast on the road.
Liu He was left by Liu Xie's side, Qi Zhou was originally dissatisfied with Zhao Yun, and without Liu He's company, he didn't want to rush with Zhao Yun, so he found a reason to separate on the road.
Li Su dispatched troops quickly, but he was not Niu Fu's opponent at all, he was defeated by Niu Fu, and when he came back to see Lu Bu, he was killed by Lu Bu on the grounds of defeat.
Lu Bu had long had the intention of killing Li Su, because it was Li Su who persuaded Lu Bu to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu is now the hero of the Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Dong Zhuo anymore, Li Su doesn't die for a day, and Lu Bu always has a pimple in his heart.
Although Niu Fu said that he won the battle, the morale of the Xiliang army was not greatly boosted, but there were many times when soldiers defected, and Niu Fu was also worried, and then simply fled with gold and silver treasures, but was killed by the general Hu Chi'er on the way.
Hu Chi'er took Niu Fu's head to Chang'an to ask for credit, and the Xiliang soldiers had no leader, and the people's hearts were fluctuating, and the army's morale was scattered.
Li Dao and the others were also full of fear, frowning, and there were rumors that Wang Yun was going to kill all the Xiliang soldiers, Li Dao and the others were even more frightened in a cold sweat, unable to sleep at night, at this time, Jia Xu stood up!
Jia Xu stared at Chang'an with evil eyes, and persuaded Li Dao and others, "Hearing Chang'an's discussions, I want to punish the people of Xiliang, if you abandon the army alone, a pavilion chief can take your lives, it is better to march westward with the whole army, attack Chang'an, avenge Dong Zhuo, it will be done, and the Son of Heaven will be the right person in the world, if not, it will not be too late to go!" β
Jia Xu's words made Li Dao and others feel empowered, like waking up from a dream.
The four of them said together, "Jingshi does not forgive us and others, we should fight to the death, fight to the death with them, if we conquer Chang'an, we will win the world, if we do not conquer, then we will copy the property of the women of Sanfu, and return to the countryside in the west, and we can still prolong our lives." β
After receiving the news of the rebellion of Li Dao and others, Wang Yun didn't care, he thought that these rats would not be able to become the climate at all.
Wang Yun ordered Hu Wencai, Yang Quanxiu and others from Liangzhou to go to Guandong, and ordered Li Dao and others to immediately disband the army and come to Chang'an to ask for surrender.
When he gave the order, Wang Yun's tone was very contemptuous, and Hu Wencai and the others were resentful, but instead of persuading the Xiliang soldiers to surrender, they fought back and persuaded Li Wei to march into Chang'an quickly.
All this was caused by Wang Yun's arrogance and complacency, and because of this, he had to swallow the bitter fruit he had caused.
Before Zhao Yun arrived at Tongguan, Tongguan was broken by the Xiliang soldiers, and Zhao Yun had no choice but to find a place to temporarily avoid trouble, let him be brave and brave to cover the world, and it was difficult to resist the strong front of tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers.
Tongguan was lost, Lu Bu had a premonition that it was not good, and he was very worried, but Wang Yun still did not think so, and he once again dispatched Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, the generals of the original Dong Zhuo, to lead the army to fight against the Xiliang soldiers.
In Wang Yun's opinion, with the two of them leading the army, the Xiliang soldiers were not opponents at all.
Because both of them are famous generals on the battlefield, especially Xu Rong, who has defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao head-on, is proficient in the essence of the art of war, and has a great ability to command troops.
The two armies met in Xinfeng, and the war was very stalemate, and Zhao Yun and his party were not far from Xinfeng, when the war started, Zhao Yun was also very concerned, leaving Tai Shici to take care of Cai Yong's father and daughter, and Zhao Yun rode to the front line alone.
The Xiliang soldiers were like a tide, one by one like wolves and tigers, desperately besieging Xu Rong's army, the originally scattered Xiliang soldiers, under the encouragement of Jia Xu's words, all broke out with amazing fighting spirit, Li Dao gave them heavy profits, saying that as long as they take Chang'an, the gold and silver beauties will never treat them badly, and promised to take Chang'an, allowing them to plunder the city for three days.
Xiliang soldiers were originally wolf cubs, and now they all played with their lives, and in less than half a day, they broke through the defense line of Xu Rong's army, Xu Rong resisted desperately, but to no avail, and it didn't take long for his body to be covered with knife wounds, and the whole person seemed to have just come out of the pool of blood.
Thousands of Xiliang soldiers surrounded Xu Rong, attacking wave after wave, going forward and one after another, struggling to encircle and kill, Xu Rong had few troops left, and the battle became more and more tragic, but at this critical time, Hu Zhen not only did not rescue Xu Rong, but saw that the situation was not good, and led the people to surrender.
