Chapter 317: Prelude to the Coalition Break
Lu Bu was captured, and the tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry who went out with him fled in a hurry, and Yan Liang led the army to chase and kill all the way to the Tiger Prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are Xu Rong's 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry brought by Lu Bu, and before Lu Bu came to Tiger Pass, he entrusted everything in Luoyang City to Chen Palace, and Chen Palace can mobilize all the troops in Luoyang City.
"Xu Rong, Lu Bu has been captured by our coalition army, those who know each other hurry up and surrender, King Wei will never treat meritorious people badly!"
"Whoosh!"
Yan Liang was greeted by a burst of dense arrows, and the soldiers on the pass were shocked when they heard that Lu Bu had been captured, and they were all panicked, but Xu Rong was unmoved, for him, whether Lu Bu was captured or not, his responsibility was to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, unless he died in battle, the Tiger Prison Pass must not be lost.
"Hmph, stubborn, soldiers, tackle the problem!" Yan Liang came here with siege equipment, and since Xu Rong refused to surrender, he could only attack.
However, there were Xu Rong's elite foot guards in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Yan Liang finally decided to retreat after leaving behind thousands of corpses.
After Yuan Shao learned the news that Xu Rong was guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, he was very unhappy, and sent several messengers to persuade Xu Rong to surrender, but Xu Rong beheaded all the envoys sent by Yuan Shao as if he was not entering.
Yuan Shao didn't expect that Lu Bu was captured, and Xu Rong was still so stubbornly loyal to Lu Bu, this was simply a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, just when Yuan Shao was at a loss, Su Chen told Yuan Shao to let him persuade Xu Rong to surrender.
Yuan Shao said suspiciously: "Xingyu, this king sent several messengers to persuade Xu Rong to surrender before, but they were all killed by Xu Rong, are you sure to persuade Xu Rong to surrender?" ā
"I'm not completely sure, so I can only say try it as much as I can."
Yuan Shao frowned, thought about it, and finally made up his mind and said, "Since that's the case, then you can try it." ā
"Hmm."
Su Chen immediately sent Guo Jia to persuade Xu Rong to surrender, Guo Jia was his most relied on strategist, of course he couldn't let him have any accidents, so he said to Dian Wei: "Jun Ming, no matter whether you can persuade Xu Rong to surrender on this trip, you must bring the military advisor back to this king safe and sound, understand?" ā
"The last general obeys!"
Xu Rong heard that there was a messenger sent by the coalition army to persuade him to surrender, so he immediately asked the soldiers to order the hunt and kill, but the wish was beautiful, the reality was cruel, and Dian Wei's combat effectiveness was simply easy to deal with a few small soldiers, and after a while, everything was solved.
"Boss, the martial arts of the people who came here are too strong, and the soldiers we sent have been killed."
"What? Come, O man, go and bring the messenger with you! ā
After Dian Wei and Guo Jia entered the customs, they were soon taken by the soldiers to see Xu Rong, and when Xu Rong saw the two of them, he asked, "You were sent by Yuan Shao to persuade them to surrender?" ā
"Yes and no!" Guo Jia sold a pass and said: "General Xu is loyal to his duties, and he still guards the Tiger Prison Pass when King Liang is captured, this loyalty alone is worthy of admiration, and the two of us were not sent by Yuan Shao to persuade him to surrender, but were ordered by King Yan to bring a letter to the general." ā
"Letter? What letter? ā
Guo Jia immediately handed the letter written by Lu Bu to Xu Rong, and after Xu Rong opened the letter, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and shouted: "Hmph! Although this letter is a note from King Liang, it must have been written under your coercion, and I, Xu Rong, will not be able to obey my fate. ā
"General, don't worry, can you take another look at this?" Guo Jia said and took out Lu Bu's tiger talisman again.
"This is the ......" Xu Rong took the tiger talisman, looked at it carefully, and found that it was not a forgery, it was indeed Lu Bu's tiger talisman, but he still said stiffly: "King Liang has fallen into your hands, what kind of belief tiger talisman is not for you to do, just rely on these two things to make this general succumb." ā
"The general is really brave, but I'm afraid that the general will greatly disappoint King Liang by doing this." Guo Jia looked at Xu Rong's expression, found that his expression was a little relaxed, and continued: "Does the general know why King Liang wrote a letter and handed over the tiger talisman? ā
"Why?" Xu Rong asked subconsciously.
"Because King Yan promised to protect the family of King Liang, and treat the soldiers under King Liang well, the general should have heard of my king's reputation of benevolence and righteousness, my king loves soldiers like a son, and he appreciates the general's talent very much, my king values the general, so he can't bear to die with the tiger prison, although the tiger prison pass is difficult and dangerous, but the general is afraid that there is not much food and grass under the general's hands, so if it goes on, how long can the general hold it? I'm afraid that when the soldiers mutiny, the general's bullets won't be suppressed, but he will live up to King Liang's love for soldiers. ā
"This ......" he had to admit that what Guo Jia said was very reasonable, he looked at King Liang's letter again, and asked, "If I surrender, will I surrender to King Wei or King Yan?" How are you going to settle us after the surrender? ā
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "For this general, you can rest assured, the general surrendered to the king of Yan, not the king of Wei, the general's talent is very important to my king, and he will entrust the general with a heavy responsibility, as for the generals under his command, my king will accept them together, and when the time comes, it will still be under the command of the general, if there is someone who is unwilling to continue to serve in the army, my king will also help him settle down, the general should have heard of the military household system under my king's rule, right?" ā
"Yes." Speaking of this, Xu Rong said with emotion: "The military household system implemented by King Yan is indeed a great blessing for us and other people who are in the army. Anyway, since King Yan is full of intentions, I can lead the people to surrender, but King Yan must promise to protect King Liang's family. ā
"General rest assured, my king will never break his word!" Lu Bu's family is not the only one, he also has a wife, leaving him with a daughter, who was married when he was in Luoyang.
Guo Jia quickly passed the news to Su Chen, but Su Chen asked him to hold his troops first, and he had to go to Yuan Shao to move around.
"Originally, the messenger I sent to persuade surrender had news, but the other party made a request, Xu Rong only surrendered to the Yan army, not the Wei army, I don't know why Xu Rong is like this, after hearing this news, I was also very embarrassed, so I came to Benchu to discuss."
Yuan Shao looked at Su Chen in surprise and said, "Since Xu Rong is willing to surrender, whether he surrenders to you or me, it will be the same, Xingyu just have to do it." ā
"It's....okay!"
After Su Chen left, Yuan Shao looked at his back and was distracted, and he couldn't calm down for a while, didn't Yuan Shao, the hundreds of thousands of troops under Xu Rong, be greedy? Of course it can't be, I didn't expect Xu Rong to have such a request.
Su Chen captured Lu Bu, Xu Rong only surrendered to the Yan army, and Yuan Shao even wondered if all this was planned by Su Chen a long time ago?
"Fifth brother, it seems that there will be a battle between you and me, don't blame this king for not showing mercy to you when the time comes, who made you too jealous of this king."
In fact, Su Chen didn't know that his honeymoon period with Yuan Shao was coming to an end, so he would offend Yuan Shao at this time, and he had to do everything he could to prevent Yuan Shao from strengthening his strength.
