is the so-called shadow of the famous tree, the name of Xu Rong can be said to be resounding all over the world, and it is an existence that can make people tremble in this Liangzhou army.

Although Li Dao and Guo Yan are now majestic, they were just lieutenants under Xu Rong back then.

They know this Xu Rong's means best.

Now that he heard that Xu Rong was coming, his courage was almost frightened, but fortunately, Li Ru was by his side to help them stabilize the situation in the army.

Especially the sentence just now, it was like an initiation, which made them quiet down immediately.

Seeing that Li Dao and Guo Yan finally began to have brains, Li Ru couldn't help but snort coldly.

Facing the fear that Li Dao and the others exuded from the bottom of their hearts just now, Li Ru, as the strategist next to Dong Zhuo, was very scoffing!

Although he was also very traumatized in his heart, he clearly understood one thing.

That is, today's Xu Rong is no longer the god of war in the past.

This guy, like himself, has seen the collapse of his beliefs with his own eyes, and he is even more pitiful than himself.

When his heart died, this person was no different from the walking dead, and he was completely idle since Dong Gong entered Chang'an.

This point is that Li Ru can't blame Dong Zhuo.

After all, the reason why Dong Zhuo was idle Xu Rong was that Xu Rong was too strong.

It's not that Xu Rong has no objections, but as long as Xu Rong wants to, then he will definitely be able to succeed.

This kind of thing is difficult for him to tolerate in front of anyone in power, so when he suppressed or even restricted Xu Rong at the beginning, Li Ru chose to be silent, because in all fairness, if he was allowed to play against Xu Rong in that situation, it would be difficult for him to win.

But now it's different, Wang Yun thinks that without Dong Gong, this Liangzhou is just a plate of loose sand, let him knead it at will.

Lu Bu also vented all the new and old hatreds on this group of traitors in Xiliang.

As a great meritorious Li Su was directly and casually killed by Lu Bu to vent his anger, whether this was Wang Yun's intention or Lu Bu's intention, this hurt the heart of the Xiliang army.

In addition, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, Wang Yun and others directly forced those Qianghu and Huns in the Xiliang army to be honest and obedient, otherwise they would all be killed on the spot.

There is also Lu Bu's suppression like fanning the flames, and now the morale of those Liangzhou soldiers under Xu Rong's command is still geometric, is it possible that he Xu Rong himself doesn't know.

Xu Rong is a good commander who can win battles, but this has a premise that he needs a sufficient logistics and a lord who can suppress everyone and let the soldiers do his bidding.

So in the eyes of others, the Xiliang army with Xu Rong and the Xiliang army without Xu Rong are two different things.

But in the same way, Xu Rong, who has himself and Dong Gong, and Xu Rong alone, are two completely different things.

Li Ru let the army move slowly, he concluded that Xu Rong would definitely not rush over directly, he was good at overpowering people, and he also had a cautious character, so he would definitely stay in Xinfeng and rectify the soldiers.

At the very least, let the resentment in the hearts of many soldiers turn into morale, otherwise he will not be able to fight this battle.

And this is Li Ru's opportunity, since Xu Rong wants to turn things around, then he, Li Ru, will take the first step to let Xu Rong see what it means to betray relatives.

Xinfeng County, here is a dangerous place after Chang'an, and there is still a little distance from Li Dao and others who came.

Xu Rong was calculated to death by Li Ru, and sure enough, he stopped here and chose to rest on the spot and seize the time to prepare the army.

This is also Xu Rong's helplessness, according to his thoughts, the best way now is to give up all the cities in Chang'an, and use Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry to constantly harass Li Dao and others.

Then he took the soldiers to clear the wilderness, and what happened was that Dong Zhuo had been looted by Dong Zhuo for a year.

There are not many people in the first place, but now with such a toss, as long as they open the city gate of Chang'an, a large number of refugees will automatically converge towards Chang'an.

In this way, when Li Dao appears, he will find out what situation he is facing.

He had no so-called rear, no one to supply him with baggage, and he could only rely on looting places to maintain the use of the army and the morale of the army.

So after a strong wall clears the wilderness, they will be in a desperate situation, where do they need to fight to the death, isn't this nonsense.

These soldiers under his command are not qualified to fight to the death at all.

But Xu Rong's proposal doesn't work here in Wang Yun, he won't allow Xu Rong to do this, what he wants is a hearty victory, a complete victory.

Wang Yun is already stunned, how many grievances he has suffered for the sake of the Han, he has to pay it back now.

Wang Yun like this, he can't listen to anyone.

On Xinfeng City, looking at the weak soldiers below, Xu Rong only felt that he had a splitting headache, and even looked left and right, and he found that even Hu Zhen and the others did not appear.

If this kind of thing is put before him, it will be a slash.

But now if he does something to Hu Zhen and others, this army will definitely mutiny, and it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait."

In the end, Xu Rong, who was helpless, could only look up to the sky and sigh.

At this time, in Hu Zhen's big tent, Hu Zhen, as the deputy commander of the army, was extremely respectful at this time.

Just like this, Hu Zhen has never been in front of Xu Rong, and now he is very respectful.

At this time, standing in front of Hu Zhen was the first henchman under Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Li Wenyou.

Under Li Ru's full smile, Hu Zhen kept nodding and whispering, as if he had no intention of objecting at all.

And Li Ru left naturally, naturally leaving this big tent, naturally leaving this military camp, that is, Hu Zhen found a problem with a cold sweat on his face.

He didn't know how Li Ru appeared here, and he didn't know how he left.

This is what Li Ru is telling him, this seemingly rigorous camp is like a leaky house in front of him, all full of all kinds of loopholes.

Faced with this situation, Hu Zhen also knew that he didn't have any choice.

The moment Li Ru returned to Li Dao's camp was the moment when the war began.

After getting Li Ru's confirmation, Li Dao immediately ordered the army to speed up and move towards Xinfeng again, just like many people, at this time, Li Dao also has full trust in Li Ru.

On Xinfeng City, looking at the oncoming army of Li Dao, Xu Rong chose to go out of the city.

Although he also knew that defending the city was easier than fighting in the field, he also knew that with the guys he brought, the possibility of coming up and opening the city gate was obviously more serious.

Once he entered the street fighting, these cavalry in his hands really became decorations, and that was his last hope of turning the tables.

"Get out of the city and fight!" Xu Rong shouted, and the army slowly drove out of Xinfeng, looking at Li Dao from afar.

Looking at Li Dao, who seemed to be in a tight battle formation, if it weren't for Li Ru's guarantee, he wouldn't dare to do anything.

"Are you sure, sir?"

"You can rest assured that Xu Rong is just in vain at this time." Li Ru chuckled, and then stopped talking.

After Li Wei was confirmed again, he also nodded silently, then pulled out the ring knife at his waist and rode forward, "Charge!" ”

There was no greeting, no shouting, and even no morale, with a loud roar, the sound of war drums sounded instantly, and the soldiers under his command immediately charged towards Xu Rong's army.

At this time, Guo Yan also drew the long sword at his waist, "Kill Xu Rong and loot Chang'an!" ”

With the same simple and straightforward roar, another army charged.

Xu Rong looked at the army that rushed over, and also took a deep breath, "Array!" ”

This time Xu Rong chose the camp place, all the cavalry were put on the periphery, their commander was Hu Zhen, Xu Rong did not trust Hu Zhen, but Hu Zhen had a great effect.

The soldiers who had just recovered some of their morale quickly lined up to meet the enemy under the command of Xu Rong, and a famous soldier erected a large shield, and the spears were neatly arranged in front of him.

Li Wei looked at this familiar formation, he was the deputy general standing next to Xu Rong back then, but now things are wrong, and he actually wants to cut his former coach off the horse with his own hands, the feeling is really unimaginable to him.

Li Dao, who knew Xu Rong's ability well, did not collide head-on, that was what only a fool did, and at the moment when he was about to enter the coverage of Xu Rong's army of crossbowmen, Li Dao roared, and the army immediately divided into two ways, directly bypassing Xu Rong's front.

Straight for the cavalry on the flank.

Although most of Li Wei's subordinates are cavalry, this style of play is really rare, after all, the cavalry hedges, once they are hindered and dragged by the other party, the foot soldiers can smoothly surround them, and then slowly strangle.

Li Dao's way of killing himself made Xu Rong's eyes narrow, he guessed Li Dao's purpose, and also knew their next move.

Sure enough, at the moment when Li Wei made his move, Hu Zhen, who was supposed to be guarding the army on the flank, suddenly turned around and rushed towards both sides of Xu Rong's army.

Even Hu Zhen took the initiative to get out of his way, and he betrayed when he came up.

Seeing Hu Zhen's betrayal and the panic of the soldiers on both sides, Xu Rong didn't have the slightest worry, he had already expected this.

He put Hu Zhen on both sides of him, just to lure Li Dao to divide his troops to attack, because only when Li Dao's army was separated, he had a chance to go straight to the Chinese army.

When it was not conducive to defense, Xu Rong chose to attack the opponent to see who it was to cut down the opponent's handsome flag first.

"Charge the army!" Xu Rong roared, and rushed towards the opponent's Chinese army with his front army, which was his only reliance, and the only reliance that could be handled.

Xu Rong's charge did make Li Wei a little stunned, he never expected that Xu Rong would use the entire rear army and flanks as bait to let Hu Zhen join them, and use this panicked army to drag his footsteps.

And taking advantage of this time, he can completely rush into his Chinese army with soldiers and horses, this kind of fighting style of putting death and revitalizing is really unexpected.

He knew that Xu Rong was very difficult to entangle, but he didn't expect this old handsome man to be so decisive.

However, although Li Dao was a little stunned, he still didn't have any panic, and even he continued to attack unhurriedly.

Xu Rong's idea was really good, but he forgot that there was another person as important as him by his side.

Li Ru looked at Xu Rong and his soldiers, who were getting tighter and tighter, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at a general in armor beside him.

"Flying Bear Army, your chance for revenge has arrived!"

With Li Ru's soft shout, a soldier wearing heavy armor slowly walked out of the military formation.

And they are the Xiliang warriors who followed Dong Zhuo in the southern expedition to the north and protected Dong Zhuo's safety, the Flying Bear Army!

The appearance of the Flying Bear Army made Xu Rong feel shocked, he knew that the Flying Bear Army was in Li Dao's army, but he didn't expect that in this kind of life-and-death battle, Li Dao would abandon the Flying Bear Army to stay.

Among the thousands of soldiers wearing three-layer leather armor, holding spears, and hanging short crossbows from their waists, cold sweat appeared on Xu Rong's forehead for the first time.

"Kill!" At this time, knowing that he would die if he moved forward, Xu Rong still chose to roar again, because he knew that retreating at this time was also death.

Li Ru looked at Xu Rong, who was still charging, there was no joy or sadness on his face, he didn't understand the battle formation, but he knew how to completely bring a person from hope into a desperate situation.

Like now.

"The Flying Bear Army stepped forward, General Zhang Ji took over the battlefield, General Zhang Xiu copied the two breads, this time Li also wanted Xu Rong to feel what it was like to be suppressed by the general trend!"

At this time, in the army of the Xiliang rebels, Li Ru's orders continued to reach the army and the ears of those generals.

Li Ru's voice was so calm that it was chilling, but with his order, the situation on this battlefield became more and more obvious.

A ringing arrow rose into the sky, followed by a cavalry that appeared from a distance and rushed in the direction of Xu Rong, and behind him also turned a general, it was General Xiliang, Zhang Ji.

After their appearance, Xu Rong's army was completely divided, and the rear army was completely cut off and defeated by Li Dao and Guo Yan and Hu Zhen.

At the same time, Xu Rong collided head-on with the majestic Flying Bear Army, and after a period of fighting, they were completely in a desperate situation.

Zhang Ji fought steadily and steadily, never easily moved, Zhang Xiu's fierce attack and rush, relying on his own bravery to constantly tear Xu Rong's back.

The two uncles and nephews cooperated with the fight of the Flying Bear Army, and finally completely trapped Xu Rong, the first commander of the Xiliang Army that year.

Looking at the fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and looking at Zhang Xiu, who was getting closer and closer, Xu Rong didn't feel panicked or scared at all, and he only had one sentence in his heart now.

"This moment has finally arrived."

Xu Rong has given up continuing to command, so let yourself give yourself a decent last time in this last battle.

He has been displaced all his life, from Youzhou to Liangzhou, from Liangzhou to Sili, this constant fighting and conquest, he has also become the so-called invincible general from a nobody.

Only he knows what he is always winning and undefeated, but he didn't have the slightest fame when he was defeated.

It's still one, and it's not uncommon for opponents to know what his name is.

"Kill!" More and more shouts of killing converged around him, and the soldiers around him had been slaughtered, and the remaining hundred or so people were still guarding his side.

These people are his cronies who followed him to fight in the north and south, and they are not very elite, but they are indeed loyal to him.

Now that he is going to die here because of his reasons, the only trace of guilt in Xu Rong's heart may be for them.

"General, I'm incompetent and can't protect the general."

A young soldier suddenly said something to Xu Rong, and then when he looked at him, he showed a faint smile at him, followed by a change of face, and rushed towards Li Rong fiercely.

And behind him, more and more soldiers rushed out in the same way.

These people are all veterans who have been fighting with Xu Rong for many years, compared to the Xiliang Army, whose military discipline is corrupt, these people's military discipline is actually... It's not that good.

But their loyalty to Xu Rong can make up for everything.

Even in a desperate situation, they did not abandon Xu Rong, and there was no moment of wanting to exchange Xu Rong's life for their safety.

This is the old pawn, the old pawn who is willing to give his life for Xu Rong.

It's a pity that at this time, these loyal soldiers can't get any life for Xu Rong, they can only fall in front of them one by one.

This is Xu Rong's unprecedented... A sense of weakness and powerlessness!

At this moment, all Xu Rong's guilt was stuck in the bottom of his heart, even if Hu Zhen rebelled, even if Qiang Hu and the Huns defected, even if a large number of soldiers knelt down and asked to surrender.

But these people around him still haven't given up on him, maybe for the people of the general, in this last moment, there can still be people who are willing to die for themselves, this is a kind of pride.

"Li Ji, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji!" Xu Rong held the long sword in both hands, and the hair that had been scattered in the battle was flying wantonly, and a few traces of silver-white color were slowly revealed in the black hair on his head.

When everyone completely surrounded him, he roared loudly, making the eyes of the battlefield stop.

Everyone was gearing up, but everyone didn't dare to take the initiative.

Xu Rong was their commander, at least once their commander, maybe they didn't have any loyalty to this person, but they were full of respect for this person.

He is not a gifted genius, but he is like himself, killing from the bottom with a knife and a shot.

Zhang Ji always remembered that when Xu Rong came to the army, they were comrades in the same army, and a few years later, they fought back to back from countless tragic battlefields.

has become a survivor of a thousand, and has survived to the present, the former Xu Rong is his most reliable back and his most trusted comrade.

"Zhang Ji, the partial general of the Xiliang Army, has seen General Xu Rong!"

The current Xu Rong is still his most respected commander, and he deserves to be worshiped like this.

At the same time, Guo Yan, the general of the Xiliang Army, also came to Xu Rong.

"The last general, Guo Yan, was a horse thief and bandit in the Western Regions, who fought with the general and Xihe, and was captured by the general.

In today's battle, the last general Guo Yan will meet the general again! ”

Guo Yan was born as a thief, and after being defeated by Xu Rong, Xu Rong took pity on his helpless background and also took pity on his ability, so he took the initiative to ask Dong Zhuo to let him join the army.

Over the years, Guo Yan, like many people, has received a lot of favors from Xu Rong, half of his ability to lead soldiers is talent, and the other half is Xu Rong's teaching.

"The last general Zhang Xiu, Zhongping entered the army in three years, and was the general under the general's account, and the general's teaching was remembered in his heart for several years, and the last general today visited the general again"

As Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu did not come to Zhang Ji's side as soon as he entered the army, but was sent by Zhang Ji to Xu Rong's side as a small uncle.

Exercise his ability to lead soldiers from scratch.

One after another, the generals stood up, Xu Rong came from a humble background, and he knew too well how difficult it was for a poor boy with nothing to learn something.

So when he has the ability to help other juniors, he never refuses any juniors who want to ask for teaching for any reason.

Whether he was a general or a sergeant, this was a commander who was never really trusted, but he was an elder who was respected by everyone.

At the beginning, Zhang Ji, Guo Yan and other generals, and then the captain Sima, and even many soldiers in the end came to Xu Rong.

knelt in front of Xu Rong one after another, this was a farewell to Xu Rong and the last respect for Xu Rong.

At the end of the audience, only a few people stood in place, including Li Dao, Li Ru, and Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen didn't dare to see Xu Rong, he had always avoided Xu Rong, and he didn't dare to face it.

Li Ru didn't kneel because Xu Rong was not worth letting him kneel, Xu Rong used to be the commander of the three armies, and Li Ru was in charge of Dong Zhuo's rise with one hand, and none of them would be worse than the other.

As for Li Dao.

If there is any general in the Xiliang army who does not need to accept Xu Rong's instructions, Li Dao is definitely one.

This is Dong Zhuo's cronies, if Guo Yan was born as a bandit and relied on talent and hard work to get to this point, then Li Dao came to this point purely by talent.

As a son of a small family in the Northland, Li Dao is one of the few generals in Dong Zhuo's army who is not from a cold background.

Yunwen Yunwu is quite scheming, and he has always been the existence that Dong Zhuo really relies on, which is why Li Ru found Li Dao as soon as he knew that Dong Zhuo was powerless to return to the sky.

He was the only one in the Xiliang army who could get to this point with his talent.

Therefore, although Li Wei Xu Rong is very respectful and even a little afraid, he can tell everyone openly.

He had never received the favor of his Xu Rong.

At this time, looking at the Xiliang disciples who were kneeling down, Xu Rong also showed a very helpless smile, they were all comrades who fought together.

These people used to be his most trusted subordinates, and he once led them to fight in Yongliang, and once led them to fight with the whole world.

But now that the times have changed, things are wrong, and I have successfully walked on two completely different paths with them, and I have lost so cleanly.

"General, have you ever regretted it?"
