Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies
Chapter [29] Xu Rong Rangxian (Asking For Flowers And Collections)
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he didn't expect Xu Rong to come to see him on his own initiative, which surprised Lu Bu very much.
"Please come in." Lu Bu ordered immediately.
Not long after, a dark-faced, dull-looking man came in from the outside.
But judging from his appearance, Xu Rong seemed very honest. If it weren't for the armor, Xu Rong would have looked more like a farmer.
"The last general pays his respects to your lord." Xu Rong saluted politely, keeping his posture very low.
"You don't need to be too polite, you and I are both the chief generals in the army, so you don't need to salute me." Lu Bu tried immediately.
"Don't dare." Xu Rong bowed and stood up and replied: "The final general and the king are as different as clouds and mud, how can they be compared?"
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and Xu Rong's attitude won the favor of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.
As for Gao Shun, everyone has a hard expression, without the slightest fluctuation on his face, like a robot.
"The general is too modest, please sit down." A smile appeared on Lu Bu's face.
Since Xu Rong took the initiative to come to see him, and his posture was still so low, Lu Bu naturally needs to express a certain amount of kindness, otherwise if Xu Rong is in love with a cold ass, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
"The general is here this time, but he has military matters to discuss with the prince?" Zhang Liao asked beside him.
Hearing this, Xu Rong cupped his fists at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, there shouldn't be two commanders in the army. This is a big taboo for military strategists."
"The last general came here this time to explain this matter, and he is willing to wait for the king and look forward to it."
As soon as Xu Rong said this, he was completely placed in the position of Lu Bu's subordinate.
"I've thought about this issue before, and I was just about to discuss it with the general, but I didn't expect the general to be so profoundly righteous, which made me feel ashamed." Lu Bu sighed.
It was also unexpected that Xu Rong would take the initiative to bow his head, willing to help him.
"What did you say? With your bravery, how can you be in charge of the army in the future." Xu Rong shook his head and laughed.
Xu Rong's ability is not small. He can be regarded as a hidden famous general in the late Han Dynasty. Although his reputation is not obvious, his record is very powerful. He defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao.
Later, Dong Zhuo died, Xu Rong remained loyal to the court, and finally died in the rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si.
"Fortunately, the general is so flattering. We are all savages, so I won't refuse. The position of the coach will definitely do my part." Lu Bu directly agreed.
"It should be so, you don't have to be polite." Xu Rong nodded with a smile.
A big event was finalized in this way without any twists and turns, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
"Come on, prepare a banquet!" Lu Bu ordered immediately.
Although Dong Zhuo left with a large army, in order to make Lu Bu feel at ease, he left all the food and grass to Lu Bu to stabilize Lu Bu.
As for the food rations of Dong Zhuo and the large army, it is natural to rob the people. This is not something that Lu can't interfere with. We are in troubled times, so take care of yourself first.
Soon, some meals were brought up, and there was a little meat in the simple food.
"General Xu, the conditions in the army are limited. Don't be disgusted. The enemy is facing us. Let's replace the bar with tea." Lu Bu said with a toast.
"Your Honor is too polite." Xu Rong quickly responded with a toast.
Xu Rong lowered his posture, Lu Bu showed his kindness, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while, enjoying themselves harmoniously.
Seeing that Xu Rong is so knowledgeable, Lu Bu also intends to win him over.
Although Xu Rong's force value is average and he is not considered a strong general, he is very good at commanding troops in battle.
If you can recruit your own mountain top, there will be Hua Xiong first, then Xu Rong, plus Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and a basic framework will take shape.
It is impossible for him to follow Dong Zhuo for the rest of his life, Lu Bu sees this very clearly, and the right way is to spare no effort to develop his own power secretly.
This is also the reason why Lu Bu prepared the banquet, just to win over Xu Rong and bring the relationship between the two parties closer.
Putting down his cup, Lu Bu said, "Now Hulao Pass has only 20,000 troops, and the coalition of princes and princes has a large number of troops. What does General Xu think about this?"
Xu Rong put down the teacup, pondered for a while, and then replied: "My lord, according to the general's humble opinion, although we have few people, the coalition of princes is not something to worry about."
"Oh? All ears." Lu Bu couldn't help being interested.
"Your Majesty, the Eighteenth Road seems to have a large number of people, but their hearts are not in harmony."
"Previously, the princes of the Eighteenth Route were shrunk by the king's marquis. As a last resort, they could only hug each other to keep warm."
"But now, Xiangguo has withdrawn with a large army, and the troops in Hulao Pass are insufficient, so the princes cannot unite as one."
"Just imagine, my lord, if the allied forces of the princes came to attack Hulao Pass, who would take the initiative to be the vanguard?" Xu Rong had a playful smile on his face.
The terrain of Hulao Pass is dangerous, if you want to attack Hulao Pass by force, you will have to pay a huge loss.
Among the eighteen princes, who is willing to sacrifice themselves for others?
"With General Xu here, I can rest easy in Hulaoguan!" After listening to Xu Rong's analysis, Lu Bu suddenly felt enlightened.
Lu Bu and the others at Hulao Pass are holding a small banquet, while the princes on the other side are holding a big banquet.
However, the small banquet held by Lu Bu had a harmonious atmosphere, but it was a big banquet for the princes, with wine and meat, and the atmosphere was very dull.
When Dong Zhuo withdrew from Hulao Pass with a large army, the princes of the Eighteenth Route could be said to celebrate each other, and they were all very happy.
According to the news from the scouts, Dong Zhuo had taken away most of the troops, so there must not be many troops in Hulao Pass at this moment.
After receiving this good news, all the princes immediately gathered together, exchanged cups and cups, to celebrate Dong Zhuo's departure, thinking that Hulao Pass would be captured in a short time.
When the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, asked: Who would be the vanguard of the army and win the Hulao Pass for the army.
With just this sentence, the atmosphere of the banquet dropped to freezing point. Many princes were silent, and no one was willing to take the initiative to be the vanguard.
Just kidding, attacking the pass by force will cost a huge loss, and no one is willing to let his men go down to die.
Moreover, at the top of the Hulao Pass, the big banner with the word "Lu" is still there, obviously Lu Bu stayed behind at the Hulao Pass.
Forget about storming Hulao Pass where Lu Bu is stationed... This is the true thinking of many princes.
Originally, among the vassals of the Eighteenth Route, there was still a reckless man like Sun Jian who was willing to serve as the vanguard of the army.
However, Yuan Shu's behavior of withholding military rations last time also chilled Sun Jian's heart, and at the same time caused Sun Jian to lose a lot of troops.
Sun Jian is also afraid of repeating the same mistakes if he suffers from a fall and gains wisdom.
So this time Sun Jian was unwilling to take the initiative to take on the burden of being a pioneer, and sat on the sidelines silently.
The originally lively banquet also fell into a cold spot because of this sentence.
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao couldn't hold back his face, and no one responded, which caused Yuan Shao's words to be put on the ground directly, which made Yuan Shao very embarrassing.
Seeing that no one was arguing, Yuan Shao could only continue speaking in order to ease the embarrassment.
"Brother Wentai, Brother Wentai broke the Sishui Pass last time, so it's no problem to come to Hulao Pass, why not take the vanguard this time?" Yuan Shao tentatively said: "When the Hulao Pass is taken, the army enters Luoyang. Rescue the emperor, we will definitely show up to the emperor, how about asking for credit for brother Wentai?"
"That's right, that's right, let's make a table together and ask for credit for Brother Wentai." Yuan Shu also said.
"Taking Hulao Pass, the first person to challenge Dong this time must be brother Wentai."
"Those who can do more work, I see that the position of vanguard is none other than Brother Wentai."
"Yeah yeah!"
"..."
Eighteen princes, you speak, I speak, the banquet that was silent just now, immediately became as lively as a market.
But Sun Jian sat still and did not say a word. The princes saw that Sun Jian had been keeping quiet and gradually became bored, so they gradually calmed down.
After the commander-in-chief calmed down, Sun Jian said calmly, "The lord thinks of Sun too highly."
"The last time I fought against Na Huaxiong at Sishui Pass, Sun was unfortunately injured and has not recovered so far. I am afraid that I will disappoint the leader."
Sun Jian's attitude is very clear, that is to avoid war.
"Where is the injury? I see that your whole body is fine." Yuan Shu said in a strange tone, "Could it be that you are timid and use excuses to avoid fighting?"
"Hmph! Don't bother, the empress general is concerned. Sun has an internal injury, and your eyes can't see it." Sun Jian also pushed back hard, and counterattacked: "Among all the princes, the empress general has the highest official position."
"The imperial court appoints the post-general with heavy responsibilities, and it also places high hopes on the post-general. Why don't the post-general set an example for us?"
"As long as the later general goes up first, someone like Sun will go up second, no matter what!" Sun Jian said loudly.
"You!" Yuan Shu was so choked by Sun Jian that he suddenly got up from his seat and pointed at Sun Jian on the other side, but he didn't know how to refute for a while.
It is impossible for the superiors to be superior, not to mention that Sun Jian used words to stab Yuan Shu, even if he put Yuan Shu on the fire now, Yuan Shu would definitely not be the vanguard.
"Okay!" Yuan Shao interrupted, "What's the proper way to make a lot of noise?"
After all, Yuan Shu is the younger brother, and Yuan Shao had to speak out to stop Yuan Shu's face.
However, with Yuan Shao's stop, the princes' commander-in-chief once again fell into silence.
"My lords, I have an idea."
