Chapter 117: Xu Rong offers advice

Previous Chapter

At this time, Liu Bei did not take action immediately after contacting Wang Yun's envoy, it was his turn to be resourceful and fighting, Liu Bei may not be able to compare to many people, but it is the turn of the scheming city, and the possibility of fighting with Liu Bei in this world can be counted with one palm;

However, at noon, a burst of Dong Zhuo's chaotic soldiers ran everywhere, and there were many cavalry rushing to kill and want to escape, and even whether it was their own people or not, as long as they blocked the escape run, they would cover up and kill them all;

The scene became extremely bloody for a while, Liu Bei stood on the observation deck and looked into the distance, feeling incredible, could it be that Lu Bu in Tongguan took the lead to kill out?

No, Lu Bu should have to preserve his strength, how could he do such a loss-making business, besides, with Lu Bu's remaining soldiers and horses, it is impossible to defeat Dong Zhuo's most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry;

Just when Liu Bei was very confused, a scout suddenly came outside to report, and the lord said:

"Dong Zhuo's two armies in front of each other killed each other"

Cannibalism? Could it be infighting? Can't you? With Dong Zhuo here, who would dare to blow up thorns under him; Liu Bei thought so

Wait, wait, there is Dong Zhuo here, could it be that something happened to Dong Zhuo?

Liu Bei hurriedly shouted:

"Go and find out quickly, what flags are hung by the two armies fighting in front?"

The scout was ordered, and immediately said "whoa" and ran out,

Within an hour, the scout was quickly back again

Liu Bei walked anxiously outside the account, and saw the distant scout returning from horseback, and he didn't wait for the scout to come to the front, so he hurriedly walked forward, which shows the anxiety in his heart, in this era of extremely asymmetrical information, sometimes a useful information is the key to determining a big victory;

Liu Bei walked forward and hurriedly asked:

"Tell me, how's the finding?"

The scout replied:

"Back to the lord, the two warring sides in front, one is hanging the Guozi flag, and the other is hanging the ox flag"

Liu Bei's expression suddenly became a lot more exciting, and he laughed loudly

"Hahahaha, God help me, Dong Zhuo's old thief must have encountered something unexpected, his general Guo Yan and his son-in-law Niu Fu actually fought by themselves"

When the atmosphere was tense just now, several strategists who had not dared to speak also gave suggestions when they saw Liu Bei's expression improve:

Some people say that Liu Bei should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for them to lose their strength before going to the fisherman to make a profit, and some people say that they should take advantage of the chaotic war now, and go forward to annihilate all these Xiliang elites, so as not to wait for them to divide the victory and defeat, and have the spare strength to concentrate on fighting with their own side, you know, in this era, the Xiliang Iron Horse is still a very terrifying existence;

Listening to their broken thoughts, Liu Bei's good mood suddenly disappeared, but although Liu Bei is not good at planning, but he is good at watching and employing people, Liu Bei suddenly thought of Xu Rong, the general of Dong Zhuo's army who surrendered to him before, presumably he used to be Dong Zhuo's subordinate, and must know some things inside them, plus Liu Bei also admired Xu Rong very much, and also wanted to listen to his Xu Rong's opinions, so he said:

"Give me a quick invitation to General Xu Rong"

"Wow," the corporal said yes and ran to give the order

After a while, Xu Rong, who was dressed in heavy armor, came to Liu Bei, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and said:

"The last general, Xu Rong, see the lord, I don't know what is the urgency of the lord's urgent recruitment?"

Liu Bei told Xu Rong what happened on the other side, saying that he wanted to hear Xu Rong's opinion;

Xu Rong is also a straightforward person, Xu Rong felt that Liu Bei should be the kind of lord who was willing to listen to the truth directly, so he didn't go around the corner, and directly said his judgment, saying:

"The lord should quickly send an envoy to contact Niu Fu, and then help him eliminate Guo Yan"

Liu Beituan frowned, thinking that it was because Li Yu and Guo Yan, where Xu Rong was located, had a great holiday, and gave himself this suggestion out of selfishness, so he was slightly displeased, but he still said gently:

"Why did General Xu suggest that I help Niu Fu to eliminate Guo Yan? And not the other way around, or wait for both of them to consume each other? ”

Xu Rong said with a smile

"I think the lord probably thought that I had a personal vendetta with Guo Yan to make this decision, right?"

Liu Bei saw Xu Rong say in such an indifferent tone, so he didn't hide his thoughts, and said truthfully:

"I do have this doubt, but I think that even if General Xu wants to announce his personal vendetta, he will not say it so bluntly, so I think General Xu must have a deep meaning, please General Xu But it doesn't hurt to say it, don't worry about my thoughts"

Xu Rong was also quite moved when he heard Liu Bei's words, knowing that this lord was not as tyrannical and suspicious as Dong Zhuo, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and said slowly:

"There are three reasons why the last general asked the lord to help Niu Fu"

Liu Bei gave an appreciative look, raised his hand slightly twice, and motioned for Xu Rong to continue

Xu Rong continued:

"First, Guo Yan is good at conspiracy politics, if it is a war of words and words, Niu Fu will be defeated, but now the two are fighting with open swords and guns, although they are fighting lively, but in a few days, I expect Guo Yan to lose; We should help the strong to destroy the weak, so that our losses will be much smaller;

Second, Guo Yan is capricious, even if we help him, he will definitely switch to a stronger backer once he has the opportunity, even if he follows the lord, it is just a villain with a honey-tongued sword, and Niu Fu is different, this person is good at fighting and does not like to participate in political affairs, even if he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law before, he did not have any of his own party forces in the court, and he is a usable talent who is dedicated to training, and he is a righteous person, as long as the lord really helps him, he will definitely follow the lord with all his heart;

Third... ”

When he said the third point, Xu Rong was a little distracted;

Liu Bei listened to the first two points and felt quite reasonable, and when he heard that there was a third, seeing that Xu Rong didn't say anything, he hurriedly urged:

"What is the third? General Xu speaks quickly"

Xu Rong was still silent, and only said, "Third, I am afraid that I will be disrespectful to the lord when I say this."

Liu Bei said: "Haha, General Xu is too underestimated by me Liu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

When Xu Rong heard this, he put his mind at ease and said loudly:

"This third is that once the lord does not move, once Niu Fu defeats Guo Yan and gathers the remaining Xiliang Iron Cavalry to confront the lord, it is unknown who wins and who loses."

"Oh? Is it" Liu Bei didn't believe it, and said in his heart that he was waiting for work, and he had several times the opponent's troops and many famous generals, and he couldn't beat a small Niu Fu;

Soon Liu Bei knew why, Xu Rong said:

"The lord's troops and generals are all superior, but the lord doesn't know much about Xiliang Tieqi and Niu Fu, Xiliang Tieqi is not like ordinary rabble, perennial warfare, all of them are not afraid of death, as long as there is a commander they believe in, even if they are scattered, they can fight separately, plus they are all cavalry, strong mobility, they can rush back and forth to kill, and we can only passively respond to the battle, the situation is unfavorable, and Niu Fu is a donkey, belongs to the kind of people who don't care about fighting, just go to fight, The kind that will not rest until death"

After Liu Bei listened to Xu Rong's words, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he had to call Xu Rong over and ask, if he decided rashly, lest he make a big mistake, I don't know;

When Liu Bei thought of this, he immediately called his henchman Jian Yong and asked him to go to talk with Niu Fu quickly;

Fighters are ever-changing, and Liu Bei doesn't want to miss the God-given opportunity given to him by God during this time.
