Chapter 15: Purple Air Comes from the East (3)

"Your Majesty, the last general will be ordered by Prime Minister Dong to go to Xingyang to set up defenses to stop the thief army." Xu Rong replied respectfully to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven pointed to the sergeant who was leaving the customs: "Is the general going to take those people?" ”

After receiving Xu Rong's affirmative reply, Liu Xie hated Li Ru, the poisoner of the troubled country, even more.

Judging from the performance just now, Xu Rong and his sergeants can really be described as an alternative to the Xiliang Army, the army commanded by Xu Rong has the demeanor of the Yan Army from top to bottom, and more importantly, this army does not seem to rob the people.

Such an army in the Xiliang Army is not a good thing for Dong Thief. But for me, the minister, and the people, it is a hope. No wonder when he was in Luoyang, although Dong Thief was presumptuous, he still restrained himself; However, in the process of ambushing Cao Cao, Xu Rong's army was almost completely killed and wounded. There was no one in the Xiliang army who spoke for the people, so as soon as Dong Thief arrived in Chang'an, he really regarded the people as pigs and dogs and hundreds of officials as servants.

Li Ru wanted to eliminate the "dross" in the Western Liang Army, extinguish the last hope of the imperial court for the Western Liang Army, and completely oppose Dong Zhuo and the hundred officials, so as to force Dong Zhuo to abolish the emperor and stand on his own. So let Xu Rong lead the army to cut off Cao Cao's retreat. But in order to escape for his life, Cao Jun, whose back road was cut off, will fight desperately. And Xu Rong's descendant military horse will be hit again, but this time it will not be as good as the last duel with Sun Jian, and this time the blow will be fatal.

After seeing Li Ru's poisonous plan clearly, Liu Xie's back was cold. But in a blink of an eye, it occurred to me that Li Ru's life would not be long in coming, and what he had to do now was to save Xu Rong and his army, leaving room for the transformation of the Xiliang army.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the cool air coming out of his back, Liu Xie reminded casually: "I heard that General Sun Jian has broken in Liangdong, and the army has not yet rested, but why is he so eager to march, don't you hear that the tired army is easy to collapse." ”

"Your Majesty, the army of the last general, tired can defeat the enemy." Although he knew that what the Son of Heaven said was right, Xu Rong still held on.

"The general's trip to Xingyang is a plan for Mr. Baggage to close the door and beat the dogs, and Xingyang, as a place to close the door, will be counterattacked by the coalition forces. Hehe, coupled with the fact that the general's whole army is going to march in a hurry, I am afraid that no matter how brave the general is, the whole army will not be able to escape the situation of heavy casualties. At this time, Liu Xie completely dispelled Xu Rong's illusions.

Li Ru, the poisoner, is really accurate, the westward migration army will completely enter Hangu Pass in the past two days, and in order to make profits, then the coalition army will inevitably chase after it tonight or tomorrow. At that time, Xu Rong's army had just arrived at the ambush site, and it was likely that he had not rested much, and he was about to face a fierce battle.

In this battle, the Xu army ambushed in advance, although it occupied the geographical advantage and was able to strangle the pursuers, but the Xu army was afraid that it would disappear from now on. The Kwantung coalition army learned that all the pursuers had been killed, and they did not know the situation on the road, and the Dong thief had already hid behind Hangu Pass. As a result, the coalition forces will not pursue, and internal contradictions will erupt, so the coalition forces will collapse themselves.

With this plan, Li Ru killed three birds with one stone, which can be described as vicious! How come I don't have such strategists to complement me, and where is my Zhang Liang? Emperor Xie was speechless in his heart.

After the order of the Son of Heaven, no matter how much Xu Rong didn't understand politics, he smelled of conspiracy at this moment. His descendants originally had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but after the battle the day before yesterday, there were only 8,000 left; If we fight with a tired army, I am afraid that there will not be many people left.

Thinking of this, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, as one of the five major lieutenant generals under Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong were not tens of thousands of troops. Even the lieutenants in the Xiliang Army, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou have nearly 10,000 horses. Xu Rong was the only one, because he was unwilling to lead the army to plunder the people, and he was not from Xiliangzhong, so he only had 10,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters all year round. And these 10,000 people, because of his strict control for many years, are no longer thieves who drink the blood of the people.

Now, in this Xiliang army, is there anyone who can't even accommodate these 10,000 soldiers and horses?

Seeing Xu Rong with an iron-blue face next to him, Liu Xie knew that he had successfully provoked the dissatisfaction of this general, who led his troops to fight first-class battles and had low political consciousness, against the top of the Xiliang Army, even if he was not dissatisfied with Dong Thief, he would be full of resentment towards Li Ru.

"The general doesn't have to worry, I am willing to ask Dong Qing for convenience for the general, but I don't let such a loyal army die in vain!" The Son of Heaven took Xu Rong's hands and said sincerely.

"Your Majesty will plead with Master Dong Xiang now~~~ at the end, and I don't want Your Majesty to be in danger." Xu Rong had a complicated look on his face, and tactfully refused the Son of Heaven to take risks for him.

This Xu Rong has such a loyal and patriotic heart, no wonder after the death of Dong Thief, Wang Yun is willing to hand over Sergeant Xiliang to him to take charge, and he is indeed a good general of the auxiliary country: "Hehe, this general doesn't have to worry, I have my own way." As he spoke, Liu Xie gave Xu Rong a look, with a confident and mysterious smile on his face.

Looking at the confident young Son of Heaven, Xu Rong somehow couldn't help believing the words of the Son of Heaven and followed him to see Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Thief also got out of the car and came out, staring at a certain girl in the crowd with squinting eyes, and Dong Thief's personal sergeant immediately knew that he had plundered the horse.

It seems that another innocent girl is going to be ravaged by the thieves tonight, and it is in front of me. No matter how angry Liu Xie was in his heart, all the smiles on his face were happy and innocent, but Xu Rong's unbearable look on the side made everyone around him aware of it.

This is the difference between leading troops and engaging in politics, and there is a huge difference in acting skills.

After complaining about Xu Rong's acting skills, Liu Xie flew towards Dong Thief with a smile and pointed at Xu Rong: "Dong Qing, look at who's coming." ”

"Oh, Xu Rong, why don't you lead the army to Xingyang, what are you doing here?" Dong Thief asked suspiciously.

Without waiting for Xu Rong to answer, Liu Xie said: "I heard that General Xu was in Liangdong to break the thief army Sun Jian, and I was overjoyed, thinking that with General Xu by my side, why not be afraid of the traitor!" ”

Hearing the words of the young man in front of him, Dong Zhuo knew that the Son of Heaven wanted to keep Xu Rong by his side, after all, this Xu Rong was indeed a good commander of the army. But on the Xingyang side, Dong Zhuo and his son-in-law Li Ru had already made a plan, and as long as Xu Rong could fight this ambush in the Xiliang army. So this Xu Rong must go, but the Son of Heaven is here······

In the past, how could Dong Thief care about the opinion of the Son of Heaven in his hands, but now it is different. Since yesterday, after Dong Zhuo and this young son of heaven established a "beautiful" relationship, Dong Zhuo was reluctant to destroy it.

"Now, Your Majesty, you think it's good to be like this, after Xu Rong defeats the traitor, it's good to follow Your Majesty?" As he spoke, Dong Zhuo tentatively asked the young man in front of him.

After the fight, Xu Jun didn't have much left. When the time comes, there will be a general Xu Rong, and there will be no unscrupulous soldiers available, how can he control the Xiliang army.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie gave full play to the young man's sloppy nature, and looked like he didn't listen to any reason: "I don't care, I don't care, I want General Xu now." Dong Qing is guarded by Lu Bu, and I also need someone to protect him, that is, Xu Rong. ”
