Dong Shouye is absolutely at ease with the current Xu Rong!

Originally, after Dong Shouye and Xu Rong defeated Cao Cao for the third time, the main generals under his command were eager to try, wanting to pursue Cao Cao again, directly kill Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, or see if they could achieve greater results, and some people were even very arrogant and could not wait for Dong Shouye to directly lead the troops to attack the sour jujube camp of the Kwantung princes.

At that time, after defeating Cao Cao, Dong Shouye arranged for someone to count the results.

After counting the results of the battle, Dong Shouye discussed the next march strategy with Xu Rong and the generals under his command. At this time, Hua Xiong, who had a loud voice, got up and said: "Young master, our army has won consecutive battles this time, and its morale is booming. There are quite a few people who echo it at the moment. Morale is a very magical thing, when morale is strong, it is possible for an army of 5,000 people to defeat 100,000 horses, and now Dong Shouye and Xu Rong have won consecutive battles, and their morale is blowing up, and everyone is full of confidence, it is possible!

Dong Shouye's account is also surging, and the morale is booming, as the coach, it is not good to refuse immediately, which hurts the enthusiasm of everyone. In fact, Dong Shouye knew in his heart that this was definitely not a good time to pursue, even his cheap son Dong Zhuo did not necessarily want to pursue, after all, now in order to preserve his strength, he should try to avoid large-scale battles with the Kwantung princes. If the strength in his hand is greatly lost in the hard resistance with the Kwantung princes, then the situation in Chang'an City will immediately surge and be turbulent, and the restless people will immediately rise to echo each other with the Kwantung princes. The damage to the strength is not conducive to the future control of the situation in Chang'an, the Xiliang army. And now in the vicinity of Youfufeng, a generation of famous generals Huangfu Song, with 30,000 soldiers, still has an ambiguous attitude and unclear intentions.

Besides, Dong Shouye knew that the Kwantung princes would be 100% infighting in the future. If he leads troops to pursue now, then the Kwantung princes will definitely temporarily stop the dispute, join forces, turn the spearhead, and unite with the outside world. At that time, the problem of their internal contradictions will be ignored, and their eyes will be focused on fighting against the Xiliang army with all their might. This kind of thankless thing, Dong Shouye is not willing to do it!

At this time, Dong Shouye saw Xu Rong pondering on the desk, as if he had gained a little, so he asked out loud: "I don't know what General Xu thinks." Dong Shouye was also wondering in his heart: "Sure enough, if you don't have a strategist with a certain strategic vision, you can't make an accurate judgment on the shape, it seems that you will have to pay attention to this problem in the future, and I don't know if the old fox is in the Xiliang army now, if it is in the army, it will be much easier." ”

Xu Rong pondered for a while, saluted Dong Shouye, and said loudly: "Young master, although our army has repeatedly defeated Cao Cao, in the battle, the general found that Cao Cao was commanding in the battle array, which was quite extraordinary, and several generals under his command were also extremely brave and outstanding in martial arts. And Cao Cao led a lot of soldiers and horses, and they can still hold on to our army, if it were not for the young master to send Captain Xu Huang to support, rush to the battlefield at a critical moment, and give his army a fatal blow, I am afraid that Xu was almost defeated by Cao Cao, and even Xu's life was almost not guaranteed. It can be seen that there are also many capable people among the Kwantung princes, which should not be underestimated. At this time, if our army pursues lightly, there are no friendly troops around to cover the two wings, as a support and protection, and if the light troops advance, there will be a worry of a lone army going deep, which is a taboo for soldiers. I hope that the young master will think twice. Moreover, I see that the princes of Kwantung cannot be united, and if our army, a foreign enemy, appears at this time, it will arouse their hatred of the same enemy. It's better not to pursue for the time being, and see if the Kwantung princes will breed chaos, and then break them one by one, and the chances of victory will be greater. ”

Dong Shouye listened to Xu Rong's words, which coincided with himself, worthy of Xu Rongda, his vision is really good, and he can think so far-reaching, it is not in vain that I look down on you, so he said loudly: "General Xu's words are reasonable, won my heart, and coincided with my thoughts." The matter of pursuit is too risky and not conducive to the overall shape of our army, so I will stop here and mention it again. ”

After a pause, he said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, my father has mentioned it to me many times, and when I saw it today, it was really so." At present, my father's military order has not been issued, I don't know what arrangements General Xu has, and does my father have any other instructions to General Xu when he leaves? ”

Xu Rong replied: "Qi Yu young master, the prime minister has no other arrangements at the time of parting, the young master can act on behalf of his father at this time, and what Xu Rong will do is all up to the young master's order." The order of the young master is the military order of our army. ”

Seeing this, Dong Shouye also knew that this was indeed the case, but he also had to pretend to be modest and show the people below, so he said loudly: "I am still young and inexperienced, how can I command the armies." General Xu is a talented man and is the best candidate to command the whole army. Now that the military order has not arrived, General Xu can decide for himself how to act, and the reason for this is that Shouye will definitely explain it to his father one by one. ”

Xu Rongren is old and refined, what kind of wind and big Lang have not seen, naturally he knows that this is his own young master is polite to himself, this is to give himself the face of the veteran, but he doesn't really want to call out the military power, take 10,000 steps back, even if his own young master hands over the military power, he can't accept it, if he wants to mix well in the Xiliang Army in the future, this power must be held by his own young master, how can he overstep his responsibilities and attract people's hatred. So he said loudly: "The young master can't, Yu Gong, at this time, the young master is a general and a military captain, and his official position is no less than mine, which can be said to be the highest among the generals of our army; In private, the young lord is the only son of the prime minister, and his status is noble, of course, there is no doubt that he can take power on behalf of his father, and all the generals are all subordinates of the young lord, and those who are ministers can not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, how can they arrange for the monarch to do it, isn't that arrogance? The young master said a word, that side is like the order of the prime minister, if anyone is not satisfied, they should be dealt with according to military law, can you have any objections? ”

Everyone saw that Xu Rong, who was the most qualified, made it clear that he would absolutely obey Dong Shouye's leadership, and at this time, they were naturally willing to take Dong Shouye as the commander of the army, so they said in unison: "We have no objection, and I also ask the young master to command the army and stabilize everything." ”

In fact, if you want to talk about the issue of the army's right to speak at this time, if you start from the perspective of seeking truth from facts, it is naturally the veteran Xu Rong who is the most suitable, Dong Shouye is still too young after all, and his experience is still shallow. And this Xu Rong fought in the south and north for decades, followed Dong Zhuo for a long time to fight against the Qiang people in Liangzhou, has rich experience, and recently commanded the army to defeat Cao Cao three times, and he was in the limelight for a while, enough to serve as the commander and control the armies. But Dong Shouye's identity is special, and Xu Rong is not easy to trespass. Moreover, this Xu Rong is now also attributed to Dong Shouye, and believes that Dong Shouye is his young master, even if he has the ability, he can't command his master. When the battlefield is about to be decisive, the military situation is urgent, and it is not necessary to make a slight concession and deal with it urgently, after all, defeating the enemy is the most important thing. But now that the war has basically ended, Xu Rong naturally wants to focus on Dong Shouye.

At this time, Xu Rong's identity in the Xiliang Army was also quite embarrassing. Originally, Xu Rong, as Dong Zhuo's subordinate, also made a lot of meritorious contributions with Dong Zhuo's southern expedition to the north, and won Dong Zhuo's trust, but most of the Xiliang army were from Xiliang, but Xu Rong was from Liaodong. If it were in normal times, there would be no problem, but now that the Kwantung princes are crusading against Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army is collectively hating the Kwantung people, and they are naturally not as friendly to Xu Rong as before. Even some of the core generals in the Xiliang Army began to be a little wary of Xu Rong, and they began to be suspicious of Xu Rong, and they played right and wrong in front of Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo still trusts Xu Rong and still lets him hold heavy troops and take charge alone, Xu Rong always feels that the relationship with his colleagues around him is not as harmonious as before.

Xu Rong was also affected by this incident at this time, and sometimes he felt a little lonely and helpless, and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Dong Shouye appeared. Moreover, Dong Shouye sent his sworn brother, Xu Huang, who became famous in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, to save Xu Rong's life at the critical moment of the war. Xu Rong owes Dong Shouye a life-saving favor. And after the victory, when arranging the pursuit of Cao Cao again, when the distribution of the supreme power on the battlefield was decided, Dong Shouye handed over all the military power to Xu Rong. Dong Shouye could have avoided this, after all, as the son of the prime minister commanding the army, no one would have any objections. But at the critical moment, Dong Shouye overrode public opinion, entrusted the military power to Xu Rong, and he himself was under the command of Xu Rong, and he also untied his sword and handed it to Xu Rong to control the army. Military power is definitely the greatest guarantee for the safety of the life of a person or a commander of an army. Dong Shouye handed over the military power to Xu Rong, which was equivalent to handing over his life to Xu Rong. If Xu Rong really has different intentions, then it is easy to take Dong Shouye's life. In fact, Dong Shouye had no bottom in his heart after seeing Cao Cao's name, and he had seen Xu Rong defeat Cao Cao in history, so he tried his best to hand over the military power to Xu Rong despite public opinion. Of course, it is impossible for Xu Rong to know about these, so he was so moved. Xu Rong saw that his young master, Dong Shouye, trusted him so much, and the grievances he had suffered before suddenly disappeared.

Until now, Dong Shouye once again wanted to hand over the military power to Xu Rong, but Xu Rong naturally couldn't accept it this time. Although Dong Shouye's behavior at this time was a bit suspicious of Liu Bei falling and buying people's hearts, it showed an attitude after all, showing Dong Shouye's trust in Xu Rong. Now that Xu Rong has decided to serve Dong Shouye, he naturally can't trespass anymore and go over to replace him. Moreover, serving Dong Shouye as the main thing is also a lot of benefits for the current Xu Rong, firstly, it can eliminate the suspicion of the Xiliang Army about himself, secondly, it can avoid the internal exclusion of the Xiliang Army, and thirdly, when Dong Shouye is in power in the future, he can also be reused as the first early team to take refuge, and show his strategic talent, which can still help Dong Zhuo and his son to fight in the south and the north, and repay the kindness of Dong Zhuo's father and son.
