Chapter Twenty-Nine: Zhu Jun Ran Away
Early in the morning of the second day, after the whole army had a meal, Dong Shouye led the more than 20,000 horses to the east, towards the direction of Yanshi, keeping a certain distance from Luoyang City all the way, and at the same time secretly prepared to send more rangers to prevent people and horses in Luoyang City from sneaking out of the city. After all, the other party is a generation of famous generals Zhu Jun, not a character to mess with, if you are not cautious, you may be played to death by the other party.
The distance from Henan County to Luoyang City is only less than seventy miles, and it is almost symmetrical with the Yanshi where Xu Rongtun's soldiers are located on the map. So at noon on the day of Dong Shouye's departure, Xu Rong also led his men and horses to Luoyang after receiving Dong Shouye's message.
Xu Rong led 2,000 cavalry first, and let his subordinate Li Meng lead the remaining 10,000 horses to catch up.
In the evening of the same day, Dong Shouye and Xu Rong rushed to the south of Luoyang almost one after the other, and Xu Rong, who set off a little later, was faster because he was a cavalry, and arrived a little earlier than Dong Shouye.
After dark, Li Meng and his men also rushed to the rendezvous site. To say that Dong Shouye led the men and horses to walk unhurriedly and slowly, but Xu Rong and Li Meng, who received the order, did not dare to slack off and marched quickly. Therefore, the two sides can meet in one day.
After the two led the team to rendezvous, they each set up camp. Although the current Xu Rong is under Dong Shouye's control, he has not been directly included in Dong Shouye's command, and at present, it can only be regarded as a friendly army, so the troops under the command of the two are camped separately.
Dong Shouye raised the big tent of the Chinese army and recruited the generals to the big tent to discuss matters. The crowd also rushed in, and everyone who should have come came.
Dong Shouye saw that everyone had arrived, so he opened his mouth and said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, I haven't seen you for half a year, and your demeanor is still the same!" ”
Xu Rong rushed in and saluted Dong Shouye, and said: "Thanks to the Hong Fu of the prime minister and the son, the last general has eaten and drunk well and slept well in the past six months!" ”
After that, everyone in the tent laughed, and the atmosphere in the tent was suddenly very relaxed.
Dong Shouye saw that everyone had stopped laughing and returned to a normal state, and then asked, "General Xu, how is Zhu Jun in Luoyang doing now?" ”
Xu Rong Zhengse said: "Returning to Gongzi, according to the last general's recent investigation, he has received definite news that this person has disappeared from Luoyang City and ran away. ”
Dong Shouye was taken aback when he heard this, and rushed in and asked, "General Xu, what is the specific situation, you can tell this son." ”
Zhu Jun is a big Buddha, how could he leave Luoyang lightly?
So, Xu Rong explained the specific situation to his son-in-law one by one.
It turned out that after Dong Shouye asked Xu Rong to stare at Zhu Jun half a year ago, Xu Rong has always taken this matter to heart.
At this time, there was no war near Luoyang, and the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes who were sour and sour were all stopped and watched, and they were hesitant, and after the lessons of Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, no one was willing to enter the Tiger Prison Pass and go to Luoyang to touch the nails.
At this moment, Xu Rong was able to spare time and stared at Zhu Jun wholeheartedly.
Xu Rong is an honest and honest person, a very kind person, a very pure soldier, and he is meticulous and completes the orders given by his superiors.
He did what his superiors told him to do, and never questioned his superiors' orders. Although Dong Shouye is not his superior, in Xu Rong's heart, he has long put him in a position second only to Dong Zhuo. For Xu Rong, Dong Shouye's order is similar to Dong Zhuo's order.
Xu Rong actually sent some spies into the city to spy and monitor at the beginning.
Later, when Sun Jian made a comeback in Luyang, Dong Shouye felt the threat of Zhu Jun, and thought that it was not a good thing for Zhu Jun to continue to stay in Luoyang and control the army, and he would come to the center to blossom if he was not careful.
The so-called fortresses are all broken from the inside, and at present, the defense of the Xiliang Army around Luoyang is quite safe, and there are no mistakes that can make people take advantage of the situation, and the only flaw at present is Zhu Jun.
When Dong Shouye thought of this, he secretly believed to Xu Rong and asked him to let go of his actions, do whatever he wanted, and abandon the previous strategy immediately if it was not suitable.
Xu Rong also began to change his previous gentle approach and began to increase his surveillance of Zhu Jun.
Because Xu Rong received a new order and began to make eye contact with Zhu Jun in Luoyang City, Xu Rong sent a large number of meticulous and spy agents to Luoyang City, staring at Zhu Jun in Luoyang City at 360 degrees, and began to prepare to fight Zhu Jun to the end.
Originally, when Dong Zhuo allocated people to Zhu Jun, he kept a hand and guarded against him. Now Xu Rong is ordered to monitor Zhu Jun, so he naturally contacts the people of the Xiliang family under Zhu Jun in the city.
These people don't treat Zhu Jun as a dish, they only have Dong Zhuo in their eyes, so after Xu Rong sent the news, Luoyang City responded positively, and the two sides passed on the news in a timely manner.
Zhu Jun in Luoyang City and Xu Rong in the Xiliang Army are both a generation of famous generals, although Xu Rong's fame is far from Zhu Jun, but it is not necessarily much worse in terms of ability, and Zhu Jun has a lot of constraints, and he can't show it at all.
The battle between Zhu Jun and Xu Rong can be regarded as a general meeting a good talent, and a chess opponent, and neither of them is good at stubble.
At the beginning, everyone was still more aware of the impact, and on the surface it was still a ball of harmony.
Battles and means are carried out in secret.
There are countless ways to send spies to each other, to beat each other's stuffy sticks, and to use small means.
Later, Zhu Jun, who was still hot-tempered, couldn't hold his breath at first, but this personality was more similar to his good subordinate Sun Jian. Zhu Jun first wrote a long letter to Xu Rong, talking a lot of nonsense and saying a lot of nonsense to Xu Rong, praising Xu Rong's previous achievements in Xiliang, and patting Xu Rong's sycophants.
Xu Rong was also unmoved. immediately replied to Zhu Jun with a longer letter, almost praising Zhu Jun's brilliant battles.
This Zhu Jun's record is much more brilliant than Xu Rong's, so Xu Rong also appropriately expressed his admiration for Zhu Jun, a famous general of the dynasty, and said that all the generals in the world should learn from General Zhu Jun, and he himself should also take General Zhu Jun as an example, spur himself all the time, compare Zhu Jun's every battle and battle, and reflect on some of his shortcomings and deficiencies in the past battles.
Later, it was another sycophant, and the slapping was sudden, and Zhu Jun was held up to the heavens and the earth, and the Han Dynasty was not born for hundreds of years. However, Xu Rong's literary style is average, and the articles he writes are simple and unpretentious, which are not as good as the splendid articles like Zhu Jun, so the sycophants are based on the facts, but they also have a different taste, as for the kind of blind touting later, it is purely nonsense with his eyes open.
