New Story of Lv Bu

: : Xu Rong's advance and retreat

At the hour of the third day of May, Xu Rong received an eagle letter from Li Ru. At that time, he was training his army horse in a military camp on the outskirts of Hongnong County. As the number one general under Taishi Dong, Xu Rong's military discipline is extremely strict. His troops rarely rob, commit adultery and burn, and will be immediately beheaded if discovered. In the Xiliang Army, Xu Rong's troops are indeed a clear stream. "Xu Rong's troops look more like the Bingzhou Army!" This is the conclusion drawn by Dong Taishi.

Nowadays, Taishi Dong's expedition to Han Sui and Ma Teng is at odds with the Xiliang rebels in Zhaowu County of Zhangye County, and it seems that it will be difficult to tell the winner for a while. In the vicinity of Chang'an City, apart from the 10,000 county soldiers stationed in Chang'an City, there are only these 30,000 elite men under him. Niu Fu is a waste. Although Li Ru is incomparable, he is a civil official after all. Xu Rong is deeply worried about the city defense of Chang'an. However, even if the Kwantung Army came west again, his 30,000 troops would be able to withstand Hong Nong for a while.

After all, the current relationship between the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army is good. Didn't Wang Situ travel between Chang'an and Luoyang to work for Dong Taishi and Da Simayo? According to the current situation, the senior generals of the Xiliang Army unanimously judged that the Kwantung princes were too busy to take care of themselves, and the relationship with the Union State Army had been greatly improved. It was the best time to conquer Han Sui and Ma Teng to the west.

I have to say that this judgment is very consistent with the current situation. Xu Rong once vaguely expressed his worry in front of Taishi Dong. "Taishi, what should I do if the state army sneaks into Chang'an?" Dong Taishi pondered for a long time before replying. "My order to Wang Situ is to make appointments with father and son, and Lu Fengxian will inherit all my property, including the Xiliang Army."

"With the status of the Wang family in Bingzhou, they will definitely hope that the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army will unite. In fact, all this is just a blindfold. As long as we clean up Han Sui and Ma Teng and take down the entire Liangzhou, we don’t have to I bowed down to the Bingzhou Army. I have ordered Li Ru and Niu Fu to guard against the Bingzhou Army’s attack on Chang'an City. Besides, if you are in Hongnong, even if Lu Bu comes to attack, if you hold on for the first half month, I will be able to withdraw the troops. To Chang'an."

These words immediately led Xu Rongmao to speak. As the head of the Xiliang Army, Boss Dong was very clear-headed and had already taken precautions. "Taishi's words are extremely true, make me start the maosai!" Xu Rong missed the opportunity to slap Dong Taishi's flattery. "Hahaha, you don't want this set." Although Taishi Dong refused, he was still very happy.

"Actually, the old man is helpless to do this. You must settle down first, and on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? If Han Sui and Ma Teng are not eliminated for a day, the Xiliang army will not be able to leave the Hangu Pass east for a day. The old man knew that it was a big bet at this time, but the bet was too big, the old man could not resist. As long as he can hold Lu Fengxian for a month! This month, the old man is enough to clean up Han Sui and Ma Teng!"

Having said that, Taishi Dong patted Xu Rong on the shoulder with his fat hand. "The reason why the old man left you is to let you take care of the old man in the back! Duan Yan is not an old man in the Xiliang Army, Niu Fu is a waste, Hu Zhen is not popular, Dong Yue only knows how to fight hard. , Li Da, Guo Bang, they can't convince the crowd. Thinking left and right, it's only you!" "I would like to serve the Taishi!" Xu Rong said with glare in his eyes. How did he know that this was the last time he and Taishi Dong met!

When he first received Yingxin, he was still calm and composed. Every day, Chang'an and Hongnong had exchanges with Yingxin to report the situation. But every day, the time of the Yingxin from Chang'an City arrives in the early days, and it came a little earlier today. This is a secret letter with a very high level of confidentiality, and it is designated to be opened by Xu Rong himself. This is also a common practice and there is nothing wrong with it.

Xu Rong unfolded Yingxin and took a look at it, and he was shocked immediately! This eagle letter is scribbled, and it is autographed by Li Ru, a philosopher and Shangshu Ling. It has only a few lines. In the middle of the night, the enemy army had entered the city. There were torches everywhere in Chang'an. The attack was very urgent, and it was expected that the army was merged with the state. According to the Shoujing Zhaoyin Mansion, I am collecting the ruined soldiers. Come on! Come on! One hundred thousand hot!

"According to the order, the whole army will pull out the camp immediately, and set off in half an hour and return to Chang'an!" Xu Ronghuo stood up, and after giving the order, he walked to the huge map hung in the Chinese army’s big tent, and put his finger on it. A gesture between Hongnong and Chang'an City. Hongnong County is five hundred miles away from Chang'an City. It can be reached all day and night, but I don’t know if Li Ru can support it until then.

"Xu Zhonglang? Is there anything serious in Chang'an City?" When the curtain was lifted, Xu Rong's deputy Duan Yan strode in. "Zhongming, you came just in time, look at this eagle letter!" Xu Rong was immediately overjoyed when he saw Duan Yan. Duan Yan is the clan brother of Duan Jiming, the former Taiwei and one of the Liangzhou Sanmings, and the only surviving general in Duan Jiong's family.

Duan Yanzai carefully read Li Ru's Yingxin, then looked at Xu Rong's face, he stopped talking a little. "Zhongming, you and I have a very good personal relationship. If you have any words, just speak bluntly!" Xu Rong was blunt and pointed out Duan Yan's doubts. "Xu Zhonglang, if the starry night of the state army attacked Chang'an, Li Langzhong and the city of Chang'an would have been lost."

"You're right!" Xu Rong nodded: "Da Sima is a famous general in this dynasty. He is unparalleled in his wits and wits in combat. He is wise in battle. If he doesn't move, he will break the earth. If the Bingzhou army has entered the city, Li Langzhong is indeed. There is no good fortune." "Also!" Duan Yan replied repeatedly: "When Chang'an is lost, Taishi Dong will lose ground in Zhaowu, and maybe it will be a big defeat."

"This is what I worry about!" Xu Rong drew a line between Hongnong and Changan with his fingers. "From Hongnong to Chang'an for five hundred miles, Qingqi can be there all day and night. I led eight thousand Qingqi to counterattack Chang'an day and night, and you came with pawns. What do you think?" "Xu Zhonglang, do you think Da Sima will let us? Do you walk so easily?" Duan Yan said with a wry smile.

At this moment, the outsiders of the Chinese army yelled Ma Nei, and the sound of messy footsteps rolled over. After a few breaths, dozens of Xu Rong's ministries entered the account. "Report! A large number of Union state troops have been found around Hongnong!" "Report! There are thousands of ships on the big river, covering the sky and the sun, endless!" "Report, the Union state army is disembarking in a whole group, tigers and leopards riding, carrying troops, and camping. All the flags appeared."

"Zhongming! I really got what you said! Da Sima has counted the Xiliang Army as deadly!" Xu Rong smiled bitterly. "Pass the order! Be careful! Follow me out and take a look at the number of Bingzhou army?" After a while, Xu Rong and Duan Yan, with more than a dozen generals, boarded the tall building in Dazhai Middle School and looked around. Looking around, there are soldiers and horses of the Union State Army everywhere, and you can't see the side at a glance.

In the west, a triple-flame iron fist flag is in sight. Next to it is a high-character flag, which is clearly the commander of the camp and the general flag of Fenwu General Gaoshun. In the east, there is a vivid, slender and colorful tiger flag, next to it is a big flag, which is obviously one of the main forces of the Union State Army, the tiger and the leopard rider. In the south, there is a golden five-baht flag with brilliant golden light. Next to it is a big flag with the word Hou. Hundreds of crossbows and dozens of catapults are slowly coming towards the camp. This is naturally Hou Ziyu.

To the north, on the big river, sails are like rain, big ships are like clouds, more than a thousand huge warships are slowly approaching ashore, and the state army is continuously disembarking and disembarking from the Qiya and Wuya ships. "Such a big battle, it looks like there are at least 200,000 troops!" Duan Yan sighed. More than a dozen generals around Xu Rong have already seen their heart beat, and the state army’s combat power is the best in the world. Once 114,000 second-line troops killed 100,000 Kwantung Army, these 200,000 elites, the knights 30,000 Xiliang Can the army resist?

"Encourage Xu Zhonglang! Someone outside the barracks begged to see him. This person claimed to be an old member of the Xiliang Army. He came to persuade him to surrender by the order of Da Sima." A scout came under the watchtower and reported. "Come to persuade you to surrender at this time? Send the order and push it out!" Xu Rong snorted in his nostrils and shouted loudly. "Wait!" Duan Yan and more than a dozen generals stopped aloud.

"Zhong Lang! The two armies won't be cut off in the battle! Listen to what he says, and it's not too late to make a decision!" Duan Yan arched his hands. "What Duan Zhonglang said is extremely true!" More than a dozen ministries all arched their hands together. Seeing the consensus, Xu Rong had to wave his hand: "Someone is coming!" When everyone saw the messenger, they were immediately surprised inexplicably.

"Aren't you the one under Yang Feng's account?" Xu Rong pointed to the person and asked. "Xu Zhonglang has a good memory! I am a military prince under the account of Xiaowei Yang. My surname is Xu and my name is public!" Yang Feng turned out to be a valiant general of the Bai Bo army. When Li Yi conquered the Bai Bo army, he surrendered Li Yi and was taken by Dong Taishi Appointed as a school lieutenant, under the account of Li Sui. Xu Huang is a fierce general, with a mountain axe in his hand. He also used to be a small official in Hedong County, who can be a literary and martial artist, and Li Cheng valued him very much.

"Xu Huang, since you are Li Su's old tribe, why did you come to persuade the Bingzhou Army to surrender? Say!" Xu Rong sat in the upper seat with a golden sword, his eyes widened and shouted loudly. "Encourage Xu Zhonglang! Yesterday noon, Taishi Dong was attacked by Ma Chao's army in Zhaowu. He was defeated and lost. The 150,000 army has been disintegrated! I was captured by the Bingzhou army on the big river with the food of fate, so I had to persuade to surrender!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately jumped up: "This happened? Do you have proof?" "This is true. I just received the Eagle Letter from Lieutenant Li this morning, and I was merged into the state. The army was captured." Xu Huang took out a document from his arms and handed it to Xu Rong. Xu Rong trembling with his hands, opened it tremblingly, and fainted after shouting.

"Xu Zhonglang!" "Don't be anxious!" The crowd pinched and beat the back, and it took a long time for Xu Rong to come to the rescue. "It hurts me too!" Xu Rong yelled, and two lines of tears broke down. "Now that Mr. Dong doesn't know his life or death, Chang'an has fallen into the hands of the Bingzhou army again, and our army has no evidence to advance and retreat.
