Chapter 117: Xu Rong

After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Ru was disheartened, even though Li Dao and Guo Yan respected him very much, but Li Ru was unwilling to give advice to the Xiliang army after losing his loyalties.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to reject the proposal of Li Dao and Guo Yan to promote himself to the rank of servant, Li Ru asked the two to resign, returned to his hometown, and returned to his hometown, Haoyang County, which was subordinate to Feng Yi.

Li Dao Guo Yan respected Li Ru very much, and repeatedly kept him, but he couldn't stop Li Ru from retiring.

At this point, the Xiliang Army completely lost the last shackle, and completely fell into the hands of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and no one could stop the Xiliang Army from making mistakes again and again.

The two became the number one heroes of the Western Liang Army by capturing Chang'an and saving the Xiliang Army from fire and water, and Li Dao and Guo Yan became the commanders of the Xiliang Army. Originally, the two of them were just captains of the Xiliang Army, equivalent to the generals that Dong Zhuo stayed by his side, not generals who could command an army.

But after this battle, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and other Zhonglang generals who originally held military power were pressed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and even were seized by the two.

As for Jia Xu, this guy just wants to save his life, what about the Xiliang Army and the Han Family, Jia Xu doesn't care at all.

As far as it is now, it is still quite good to stay in the Xiliang Army, and because of their own schemes, Li Wei and Guo Yan are quite good to themselves, and Jia Xu will stay at ease.

However, only Dong Zhuo is the only one who makes the Xiliang Army, which has an incomparably complex composition, and even if Li Dao and Guo Yan have great merit, they can't do it, and the two of them now control only half of the Liangzhou Army.

Now Li and Guo Yan are in control of the imperial court, and they seem to be infinitely majestic, but many Xiliang generals are unwilling to join them and keep giving orders, which is the case with Xu Rong, who is stationed in Yin, Henan.

According to the original historical script, after Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army was leaderless, Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, and Hu Zhen surrendered to the imperial court and obeyed the orders of the Han court, which was also the confidence of Wang Yun to deprive the generals of the Xiliang army of their military power.

Li Dao Guo Yan led the army to surround Chang'an, but Wang Yun and Lu Bu in the city were not of the same mind, and the discord between the generals was a taboo for the soldiers, and rumors spread in the city, the Xiliang army was not willing to fight for the Han family at all, and there were soldiers who rebelled, Xu Rong couldn't turn the tables even if he had the ability to reach the sky, and ended up dying in battle.

Duan Xuan and Hu Zhen saw that the situation was not right, so they immediately made a decision, betrayed the Han court, and threw themselves into the arms of Li Dao and Guo Yan, only Xu Rong was unwilling, and finally died in Chang'an.

But now it's different, since that day, Jiang Hong told Xu Rong a lot and persuaded him a lot. Although Xu Rong's loyalty to Dong Zhuo has not changed, Dong Zhuo still does his best, but Xu Rong's fate has changed a lot.

Sending away the Han envoy who came to contact him, Xu Rong sighed, now he really didn't know where to go. Whether to obey the dispatch of the Han Court, guard Chang'an, or sit back and watch the changes, Xu Rong didn't know what to do.

It's just that at this moment of hesitation, Xu Rong remembered what Jiang Hong said to him when he was captured a long time ago, and hoped that he could consider him and go to him after Dong Zhuo's death.

It's funny to think about it, at that time, Jiang Hong was just a small cavalry captain, and his official position was much higher than him, so he said this big thing to himself, Xu Rong didn't know whether to laugh at Jiang Hong or admire him.

Xu Rong couldn't help but smile, thinking of Jiang Hong, who had a backbone in the back of his head, had no loyalty to the Han family, and wanted to get a piece of the pie in this world from the beginning, Xu Rong's eyes drifted to the battle report on the side.

What is written above is not their own war, but the changes in the war of the world's heroes.

Among them, it is mentioned that Jiang Honggang captured Danyang, and he is based on the land of the four counties, which can be said to be full of limelight in the southeast. The original proverb actually became a reality, which also made Xu Rong have a little more admiration for Jiang Hong.

However, Xu Rong has not yet decided where he wants to go, but Xu Rong feels that he can learn from Jiang Hong, don't always look ahead and backward, and let go of what he wants to do.

Thinking of this, Xu Rong decided not to care about the Han family anymore, and he had been thinking about his soldiers all along. For them, being recruited by the Han Court is undoubtedly the best result, not only can they wash off the marks of the Xiliang soldiers on their bodies, but they can also transform themselves into Han pawns who eat Hanlu.

But Xu Rong is unwilling to do this, even if Dong Zhuo is mediocre, he is also his own lord, and he wants to avenge him, this time, he has to live for himself once.

As a result, Xu Rong did not surrender to the Han court with Duan Xuan and Hu Zhen, and there was no result of obeying the dispatch of the Han court and finally dying in Chang'an. At this time, Xu Rong planned to stand still and sit back and watch the changes.

Xu Rong stood still, seeing the Xiliang soldiers attacking Chang'an and killing Wang Yun, Xu Rong's heart also rose a little happy and afraid. Fortunately, I didn't go to guard Chang'an, and if I went, I would face more than 100,000 Xiliang troops, and I was afraid that I would die and couldn't die anymore.

But now that the Han family is in the hands of the Xiliang Army, and his own lord is dead, he can finally go to Chang'an City to bring out his family who he has not seen for a long time and reunite together. Although he and Li Dao have always been at odds with each other, everyone is the same Xiliang Army, and Xu Rong didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until he came to Chang'an with his 30,000 soldiers and met Li and Guo Yan, who held the army, that Xu Rong knew that he was thinking too simply.

The two said that it was okay to take your family away, and Li Wei and Guo Yan didn't care where Xu Rong would go, but they looked at the soldiers under Xu Rong's command, and there were not too many soldiers.

In short, people, you can take them, soldiers, you have to leave them for me.

Xu Rong trembled with anger, these soldiers have been brought by themselves for many years, and they have already cultivated a deep feeling, and now they want to hand them over to Li Dao Guo Yan, and he is naturally unwilling in his heart.

Moreover, the soldiers under his command are afraid that they will also slaughter the people and fall astray like the Liangzhou army outside.

Although there is no one in the Xiliang army who is not ruthless, killing prisoners is the norm, and even in order to deter the enemy, it is common to kill their women, children, and children. But slaughtering the people of the same clan under his rule for no reason, Xu Rong asked himself if he still couldn't do such a thing.

It took Xu Rong a long time to calm down his chest that had been fluctuating, and he struggled with his thoughts for a long time. Xu Rong thought a lot, of course, what he thought about the most was what he and his family should do after losing their military power.

People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, Xu Rong finally endured the pain and handed over the military power to Li and Guo Yan, but Xu Rong said that he had a request.

Seeing that Xu Rong had promised to hand over the military power, Li and Guo Yan agreed happily without waiting for Xu Rong to say what he wanted.
