Chapter 17: Purple Air Comes from the East (5)

By the time Xu Rong returned to the camp of his army, it was already nightfall. Asked to retire from the soldiers, Xu Rong sat on the main seat, recalling all the things this afternoon, it was really embarrassing. If it weren't for the Son of Heaven reminding him today and protecting him in front of Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid that tomorrow the eight thousand good men under his command would all die in battle.

Li Ru thief, I, Xu Rong, will not let you go in this life! Xu Rong gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

After a burst of emotion, Xu Rong recalled the behavior of the Son of Heaven in the afternoon. From the very beginning, the Son of Heaven had a good impression of him, and even trusted him immensely. If you don't believe him, why do you show two looks in front of him, one is to show him virtuous, and the other is to show Dong Zhuo's youthful temperament.

The fact that the saint can show his true self in front of him is not only a kind of trust, but also a sincerity, and sincerely invites him to join the anti-Dong team. It is true that Dong Zhuo is not thin on him, but Dong Zhuo's actions have disappointed everyone in the world, and even in the Xiliang Army, there is no shortage of complainers, but it is only because Dong Zhuo is very good to them that he suppresses the resentment of the Xiliang Army.

If Dong Zhuo dies, then with the help of Xu Rong and his 8,000 soldiers, contact the sergeants of His Majesty in the military center internally, and contact the Luoyang defenders who were incorporated by Dong Zhuo externally. Then, the Son of Heaven will inevitably be able to govern the dynasty in person. In this way, with the wisdom of the saints and the help of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, it is inevitable that another great Han can be built.

At that time, Xu Rong's ideals and ambitions could be realized, and he could also go down in history and become a generation of famous generals. Instead of following Dong Zhuo, who has entered his twilight years and lost his vitality, he was poked and scolded in the spine.

Xu Rong, who had figured all this out, breathed a sigh of relief all over his body, in the future, he would definitely obey His Majesty's order, even if he killed Dong Zhuo, His Majesty would never give up if he had a life.

Xu Rong called his own soldiers: "Go, bring Jiang Wu, the captain of the Tianshui Military Academy, to the general." The soldier received the order, and after answering the order, he hurried out of the tent.

This Jiang Wu was originally a wealthy clan member in Ji County, Tianshui County, who was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and governed the army rigorously. There are 3,000 soldiers under Xu Rong's command, all of whom are from Tianshui County, and after following Jiang Wu, they have formed the style of a strict army. Xu Rong called him over, just to ask his 3,000 Heavenly Navy Army to replace Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers, so as to protect His Majesty.

After Jiang Wu came over to meet Xu Rong after a while, Xu Rong said: "Lao Wu, this afternoon, His Majesty asked me to be the Son of Heaven's army, and Dong Guoxiang is also responding, I want you to pick some loyal sons of good families to protect the Son of Heaven, remember that they must be good sons." ”

After listening to Xu Rong's explanation, although Jiang Wu didn't smell anything, he also sensed a hint of something wrong during this sensitive period: "General, does Prime Minister Dong ask us to wait for the whole army to protect His Majesty, or only ask the general alone?" ”

Jiang Wu's question also woke up this general Xu Rong, who was not very familiar with political struggle, and after hesitating, he said: "At that time, Your Majesty and Dong Xiang did not make it clear, I only wanted to protect Your Majesty, and I didn't think about anything else. ”

"General, when you move west, it's best to talk to Your Majesty and Dong Xiang about anything in advance, otherwise it may be bad." Jiang Wu on the side deliberately said the word "Your Majesty" a little louder.

Seeing Xu Rong, who nodded and fell into deep thought, Jiang Wu also sweated for himself, a general who is familiar with military affairs and does not understand politics, this old guy may have to participate in the struggle between Baiguan and Dong Zhuo, and the Son of Heaven is estimated to have played a great role in it, because General Xu has changed since following the Son of Heaven this afternoon.

This old guy is really not worry-free, is the struggle between the ministers and the Son of Heaven so easy to participate in? If one is not careful, the body will be killed, and the clan will be destroyed. But no, it is precisely because Xu Rong has these things on him that he and the three thousand heavenly water army of his fellow villagers will follow him.

At that time, when I was in Xiliang, when I heard the news that Dong Zhuo was bullying the Son of Heaven, the Tianshui Army was full of righteous indignation, if it wasn't for General Xu Rong's suppression, it would have left the Xiliang Army a long time ago.

Over the years, after hearing too much of this kind of news, the thinking of the whole army has been shaken a little, if he hadn't persevered hard, the 3,000 good soldiers of the Tianshui Army would have become bandits. If this goes on for a long time, Jiang Wu may not last long.

If General Xu wants to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country now, then he will definitely go all out to help him, but Jiang Wu must first understand the situation, can the Son of Heaven assist?

"I wonder what the general thinks of today's saints?" Jiang Wu asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Xu Rong also smiled bitterly in his heart, is he really so easy for people to see through? However, he still reprimanded angrily: "Presumptuous, the Son of Heaven is also something we can talk about." ”

"The general forgives the sins, the last general just wants to know the details. The general recruits the last general, and if he wants to trust the general, then please be honest with the general, and the general will live and die. Jiang Wu knelt down on one knee and hammered his chest.

Xu Rong glanced at Jiang Wu deeply, and told him about today's events, but he hid the city wall to talk. After listening to what Xu Rong said, Jiang Wu was also upset that the high-level leaders of the Xiliang Army wanted to kill their brothers. However, as a member of a family, he has practiced enough forbearance kung fu, so he calmed down and thought: Dong Zhuo wants to abandon us and others who do not want to join the same stream, then we will follow the Holy Son of Heaven to eliminate the country ~ thief.

"If the general replaces the Son of Heaven with the army, it will definitely stimulate Dong Xiang, and once Dong Xiang notices it, then everything will be over." Jiang Wu calmly analyzed.

From the beginning when he asked Jiang Wu about the change of troops, Xu Rong knew that he was too reckless. And it is difficult for reckless people to achieve great things, Xu Rong silently reminded himself in his heart. So he nodded and said, "Lao Wu, how do you think we should act?" ”

"The general should do everything as usual and respect Prime Minister Dong's order. Don't be in a hurry, and act according to the will of the Son of Heaven. Jiang Wu persuaded.

At present, it is unknown to what extent the Son of Heaven is virtuous, no matter how loyal he Jiang Wu and his old buddy are, they can't trap eight thousand soldiers in danger, Jiang Wu looked at the suspicious general, and persuaded in a bitter low voice: "If the general is eager to show his loyalty, then not only will he be evil to Dong Zhuo, but he may also be bad for His Majesty." His Majesty deceived Dong Zhuo in front of the general today, hoping that the general could follow His Majesty's steps: first deceive Dong Zhuo, and then try to kill him. ”

Xu Rong also understands at this moment that this is the best thing to do at the moment. But when he thought of Dong Zhuo's atrocities, Xu Rong couldn't bear it a little, the woman who was favored by Dong Zhuo just now might not be able to save her life tonight.

Seeing the look of resentment on Xu Rong's face, Jiang Wu bitterly advised: "General, those who achieve great things must be able to endure it, and this is the case with Your Majesty." If the general wants to save His Majesty, he must hold back. ”

A few words woke up Xu Rong. Xu Rong got up and pulled up Jiang Wu, who was still kneeling: "Old Wu, you have to remind me more in the future!" ”

After Jiang Wunuo got down, the two men gathered together again and discussed in a low voice.

After talking to Jiang Wuchang, Xu Rong benefited a lot. For the future, you must communicate with Your Majesty in everything, otherwise it may really be a bad thing, such as his reckless behavior just now, which will not be allowed in the future. After understanding what to do next, Xu Rong looked at the night, His Majesty was also going to eat, and it was just at this time that he could meet His Majesty to see what the Holy Lord had ordered.
