Duan Xuan was ordered by Dong Zhuo to garrison troops with Huayin to guard against the attack of the Kwantung princes, but in fact, it was purely flattering to the blind. In fact, among the Kwantung princes, except for Sun Jian's guy, none of the princes were full enough to dare to provoke Dong Zhuo.

Without the interference of the war, Duan Xuan made full use of his hidden talent to cultivate agriculture in Huayin, punish corrupt officials, stabilize public order, and not plunder the people.

In this chaotic land of Sanfu, it can be regarded as a paradise. Duan Xuan didn't expect that he was a military general who still had such a talent in governing the place, which could be regarded as an unexpected joy.

"General Xu, what kind of wind has blown you here?" Xu Rong and Duan Xuan were not very familiar with him, and Duan Xuan was very surprised that Xu Rong came to visit him.

"The military advisor is tied up." Xu Rong said.

"What!! The military advisor was tied? Who dares to move the military division? When Duan Xuan heard this, his face changed greatly, but it was similar to Xu Rong's reaction when he heard the news.

"White wave thieves, they asked the military division to come out of the mountain three times and twice, but the military division did not allow it, and in the end, those guys directly took action and took the military division away to Leishou Mountain." Xu Rong explained.

Duan Xuan instantly understood why Xu Rong came to find him, saying that this Leishou Mountain is one of the fixed strongholds of the White Wave Thief, and he faces each other across the river (Yellow River) in Huayin and Leishou Mountain, and does not interfere with each other, but it has been quite peaceful for a few years.

"But most of my soldiers and horses are now in Chang'an, and there are only 7,000 soldiers in Huayin City." Duan Xuan said with a sad face.

Duan Xuan and Hu Zhen originally surrendered to the Han Court, but Duan Xuan saw the opportunity to act and found that the Han Court was in danger, so he decisively jumped ship and demoted Li Dao Guo Yan.

Everyone is Xiliangjun, a colleague, and when Dong Zhuo was alive, Duan Xuan's official position was still above the two of them, and he was also his boss.

Li Wei and Guo Yan discussed, and they didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, so they no longer embarrassed Duan Xuan, and let him return to Huayin, where he was stationed, but most of the soldiers and horses could not be brought back.

"General Duan doesn't have to worry." Later, Xu Rong told Duan Xuan about the defeat of the white wave thief near Zheng County.

"That means the guards in Baishou Mountain are actually very weak?" Duan Xuan is not stupid, he can be thorough at all.

"Hmm." Xu Rong nodded, and then smiled bitterly, "But Rong only has three thousand cavalry in his hands, so he came to seek the general's help." ”

Duan Xuan immediately decided to send troops to rescue Li Ru.

Crossing the Yellow River, the garrison in Leishou Mountain was really as Xu Rong said, and the guards were very weak.

Even if the thieves in the mountains occupy a favorable location and do not come out to fight in the camp, they can't stand the fierceness of the Xiliang army.

You must know that when Dong Zhuo was alive, Duan Xuan Xu Rong was in the middle general, much higher than the lieutenant served by Li Dao, Guo Yan and others at that time.

Not only has military power, but also has a certain right of independence. In order to guard against the Kwantung princes, most of the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command were Xiliang soldiers who had been fighting with Dong Zhuo for a long time, not Dong Zhuo who recruited those surrendered troops after entering Luoyang.

Its combat effectiveness is also one of the best in the world, and there are a large number of Xiliang troops, Dong Zhuo really played a good hand of cards.

The 6,000 soldiers under Duan Xuan served as the people who attacked the fortifications, while the cavalry under Xu Rong temporarily served as archers to suppress the white wave thieves in the camp and cottage.

The difference in combat power is too great, whether it is individual combat power or cooperation with each other, it is too much different. Even if the white wave thief defended the cottage, he couldn't stop the offensive of the Xiliang soldiers, and it didn't take too long for the Xiliang army to capture the cottage.

The white wave thieves were slaughtered, whether they were prisoners, or the women and children in the village, they all fell under the knives of the Xiliang soldiers, and these soldiers killed the women and children without the slightest wave in their hearts.

You know, when they followed Dong Zhuo to shock Xiliang, what did they use to threaten the shock? It is one human head after another, whether it is of its own race or of a foreign race.

Even though nearly half of the Western Liang army were Qiang, they themselves couldn't count how many Qiang tribes they had slaughtered.

Xu Rong and Duan Xuan found Li Ru in a house, and seeing Li Ru's good appearance, the white wave thief did not embarrass Li Ru, but entertained him in a good way.

"Meet the Strategist." Even though Li Ru has returned to his hometown, the two still respect Li Ru in their hearts, and they don't dare to make a mistake in front of Li Ru.

"It's not a military advisor anymore, the old man is now a commoner." Li Ru waved his hand and said indifferently.

"But..." Duan Xuan wanted to continue to persuade, but was interrupted by Li Ru.

"Okay, I said that the old man doesn't want to go back to the court now, just with your stupid mouth, you still want to persuade me to go back?" Li Ru glanced at Duan Xuan.

"No." Duan Xuan replied stupidly, without a little temper.

The group returned to Huayin and temporarily placed Li Ru here. On the way back, Xu Rong suddenly remembered what Jiang Hong said at the beginning, and if he could, he would turn a corner.

Xu Rong's mind began to become active, Si Li's area was no longer safe under the instigation of Li Dao Guo Yan, and there was also the trouble of the white wave thieves. Going to Jiang Hong's place together is not only much safer, but Xu Rong doesn't want Li Ru's talent to be buried.

With his own talent, the military advisor does not worry about not being reused, and when the time comes, the two of them will take care of each other, and there will be many benefits, and it is reasonable to go to Jiang Hong.

If Xu Rong knew that it wouldn't be long before Jiang Hong would have exchanged fire with Yuan Shu, and then he would be defeated and besieged in Hefei. At this moment, Xu Rong probably won't have the idea of abducting Li Ru and defecting to Jiang Hong together.

On the other hand, if Jiang Hong knew that he had abducted the person he had told Xu Rong before, Jiang Hong would have hoped that it would be Jia Xu who had been abducted, but it turned out that there was a Li Ru, and I don't know how he would feel.

To be reasonable, Li Ru's intelligence is not inferior to Jia Xu. And as a minister, it is undoubtedly Li Ru who is more intimate, because Jia Xu is an old poison, if you don't force him, he won't be silent.

Jia Xu advocates that Mingzhe protects himself, but Li Ru is the kind of person who does his best for the Lord, if he really wants Jiang Hong to choose, Li Ru is undoubtedly a better choice. But, I'm sorry I chose Jia Xu.

Why? Because this guy lives a long life, don't look at Jia Xu is now in his forties, he is already the age when he can call himself an old man, but this old turtle Mader has lived for nearly 80 years, which can be called a birthday star in ancient times, and it is even more precious in this era of war and chaos.

With Jia Xu, the old turtle, Jiang Hong doesn't have to worry about the talent fault at all, it's good to put Jia Xu on top if he breaks it, so I choose Jia Xu.
