Sun Jian and Lu Bu's first battle, although it was a draw, but at that time, Sun Jian was outnumbered by the crowd, seriously speaking, it should be regarded as his defeat, but because of Lu Bu's "fleeing without a fight" in this battle, now Sun Jian has the confidence to say: Next time he meets Lu Bu, it will not be difficult to defeat him.

Morale on the battlefield is very important, Sun Jian moved forward bravely, did not retreat in the face of strength, so far in the battle, there has not been a defeat, the morale of his subordinates is now high, and Lu Bu fled without a fight, the morale of his subordinates is suddenly low, as soon as there is this change in morale, the next time he meets Lu Bu, it is indeed not difficult to defeat him.

Wen Chou told Sun Jian that Xu Rong had surrendered, and had taken the initiative to go to Taigu to recruit Taigu guards for Wen Chou and Sun Jian.

Sun Jianxi said: "I was just about to discuss with you, make persistent efforts, and attack Taigu tomorrow, but I didn't realize that Xu Rong had already surrendered Taigu and left." Xu Rong is familiar with the Taigu guards, and Hu Zhen and Lu Bujin are defeated, so I think there should be no need to fight again, and Taigu can be obtained! ”

……

Xu Rong rode into the Taigu Pass alone, and soon met the Taigu guard.

The first sentence of the Taigu guard general asked: "I watched the battle at the gate today, and I saw that General Hu was defeated ....... ”

Xu Rong interrupted him, held the box and presented it, and said, "I'm sending Hu Zhen's head to the school captain." ”

The left and right sides of the Taigu guard opened the box, revealing the bloodstained and hideous head inside.

The guard was shocked, Huo Ran got up, turned his face and said to Xu Rong: "I thought you were fighting your way out of the encirclement and surrendering to me, but you turned out to be Wen and Sun, but you actually came to be a lobbyist for Wen and Sun?" ”

Xu Rongyan said: "I'm not here to be a lobbyist for Wenwu Meng and Sun Hou. ”

The general said, "Then why are you here?" ”

Xu Rong replied, "I'm here for your head!" ”

When General Taigu heard Xu Rong's words, he immediately became angry and said: "Although General Hu is defeated, my checkpoint and elite soldiers are still complete, Luoyang is only more than 100 miles away from me, and Xiangguo's reinforcements must arrive soon." I have Xiongguan as a basis. There are external helpers to rely on, although Wen and Sun are strong, they may not be able to beat me, how can you say 'come for my head'? ”

"Do you also know Wenwu Meng and Sun Houqiang? Let me ask you: the battle between Lü Bu and Sun Hou, the battle between Wenwu Meng and Sun Hou Po Hu Zhen's camp, and today's battle between Wenwu Meng, Sun Hou Po and Lu Bu's camp. Have you seen them all? ”

"In these battles, I have climbed and watched."

"Then let me ask you again: Wenwu Meng, Sun Hou Zhiqiang, do you really know?"

The Taigu Shogun was silent.

"Today, Taigu is surrounded by civil and military warriors, Sun Hou, although Luoyang is close, I am afraid it is still difficult to solve the urgency of Taigu. It is Xiangguo to send reinforcements again, that is, a hundred miles a day, even if this reinforcement can arrive tomorrow night, the art of war cloud 'a hundred miles and the interesting one jumps on / general', civil and military fierce, Sun Hou to fight with ease. With the strength of civil and military forces and Sun Hou, you think that the reinforcements have a few chances of winning? And if the reinforcements can't arrive tomorrow night, with the strength of the civil and military forces and Sun Hou, if they do their best to fight Taigu with tens of thousands of forces, do you think you can hold this pass? ”

The Taigu Shogun was speechless.

"That's because I said, I'm here for the captain's head!"

The Taigu guard drew his sword vigorously. The case said: "Xiangguo will pay me for this, and I would rather die in battle." Nor will I surrender! ”

Xu Rong said to Wen Chou, "I am familiar with the Taigu guard", but in fact, he and this Taigu guard are just acquaintances. Taigu Pass is one of the eight passes in Luoyang, and it is naturally Dong Zhuo's henchman who can be appointed by Dong Zhuo and be able to guard this pass. This guard general looks like a tough man, loyal to Dong Zhuo, listening to his words, but he would rather die than surrender.

Xu Rongxin said: "I am a defeated general. Today, I am committed to the civil and military forces, and the civil and military forces look down on me, but if I have no merit, I will inevitably be despised by the generals of the civil and military forces,...... Unexpectedly, this person would rather die than surrender. That's it, that's it, I can't say it, I've got to do some tricks. ”

Taigu Shou General drank the order: "Come on!" Push this traitor out and behead it, and avenge General Hu! ”

Xu Rong laughed.

Taigu Shou General was stunned and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xu Rong said: "What I said is just a test of the captain's ear!" ”

"What do you mean? Try me? What to try me? ”

"Captain, please step back and go, I have a secret to tell you."

Taigu Shou Hu was suspicious, he knew that Xu Rong was brave, but he refused to retreat left and right, and said: "The tent is all my henchmen, what do you say, just say it." ”

Xu Rong said: "I am really of the same mind as the school captain! ”

"What is the same mind?"

"Xiangguo treats me kindly, how can I betray Xiangguo and follow Wen and Sun? The reason why the text is lowered and the grandson is actually and falsely. ”

"Fake drop?"

"Exactly!"

The Taigu Shou General didn't believe Xu Rong, and said suspiciously: "If you are pretending to surrender, why did you come to persuade me to surrender?" ”

"I was in the Wen Chou tent, and I heard that he said that he would attack Taigu tomorrow, and with Wen and Sun Zhiqiang, I was deeply worried that Taigu would be difficult to defeat. If Taigu is lost, there will be no obstacle to go to Luoyang, and I and the captain will live up to the important responsibility of Xiangguo, so at that time, I had a plan in my heart. ”

"What's the plan?"

"Wen Chou thinks he is magnanimous, return my headquarters to me, still under my command, although I have been defeated today, there are still three thousand people in the headquarters, if you join forces with the captain, the total should be able to have five or six thousand soldiers, with six thousand soldiers, when the reinforcements of the Xiangguo come, I will correspond with the captain to disturb Wen and Sun's main formation, so, Wen and Sun will be defeated!"

This turn of events came too quickly, and the Taigu Guard General didn't understand it for a while, and was stunned, only then did he understand what Xu Rong meant, and said: "You mean to say that you want me to 'fake surrender' with you, and wait for the reinforcements to come, and then cooperate with the reinforcements, so as to defeat Wen and Sun?" ”

"Exactly! It was precisely because I thought of this plan that I took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Taigu Guanzhong to 'persuade the school captain to surrender'. ”

"In that case, why didn't you just say it directly, but instead repeatedly scare me and recruit me?"

"Although I have this plan, I don't know what the captain means, so what I just said is a test."

"......, how do I know if what you say is true or not?"

"If what I say is false, how can I be the only one when I enter the customs now? Wen Chou used counter-tactics to frame me again and again, if it weren't for the gods of the country, I was afraid that I would have two heads earlier, and I hated Wen Chou to the core, and how could I descend him? …… If you don't believe me, you can push me out and kill me now! When Xu Rong said this, he took off his sword and threw it on the ground, stood up, and undressed himself, but he was open-chested and waiting for death.

Seeing him behaving like this, the Taigu Shou General thought about what he said, and said in his heart: "If he is weak-hearted, he will not dare to ride into the pass alone." So, believing Xu Rong, he put away his sword, went down to the table, put on Xu Rong's clothes and armor himself, and said, "The general's plan is very clever!" (To be continued.) )
