Chapter 192 Xun Yu was shocked! Wasn't it Lu Bu, but Xu Rong?
"how?"
Xun Yu smiled without any trace of nervousness on his face: "Is General Xu going to take action against me?"
Xu Rong looked at Xun Yu with great interest: "Mr. Su Wen has a reputation as a talented king. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved. I think that King Hongnong fought in Luoyang, Nanyang, and even Guangchengguan, all because of this." Only with the help of my husband can I get through it safely."
"Although Yin Shaofu is a noble man and is from the Yin family of Nanyang, in the heart of King Hongnong, it may not be worth a lot of money, but you, Xun Yu, are not like that."
Xu Rong seemed to have reached the critical point and took advantage of the situation to threaten: "You are King Hongnong's military advisor and his real right-hand man. King Hongnong will never allow anything to happen to you."
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly brightened next to him and he nodded slowly: "That's right! As long as I capture you, I will capture King Hongnong at the same time. Why didn't I think of this?"
hehe!
Xun Yu shook his head in embarrassment.
Xu Rong might just be a threat, but Lu Bu was really stupid: "In that case, I will stay at Daguguan today, but I have to remind you that if I can't go back before dark, the army will definitely come early tomorrow morning. .”
"Just imagine, if you trade Xun's life in exchange for the stability of Nanyang and the complete victory of Dagu Pass, or even take this opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, is this a good deal?"
If Xun Yu died at the hands of Xu Rong and Lu Bu, King Hongnong would have absolutely sufficient reasons to forcefully start a war regardless of Yin Xiu's life.
"As the general said..."
Xun Yu bowed his head with a smile on his face: "I am much more valuable than Mr. Yin's house. The death of a right-hand man is enough to explain to the Yin family, isn't it?"
Snap!
A pair of fleshy palms slapped the handsome man.
Lu Bu was so furious that he stood up and raised his hand to point angrily at Xun Yu: "Common man, do you really think that this general will be afraid of those rabble in Guangcheng Pass?"
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Lu Bu patted his chest, his voice was loud and his eyes were fierce: "I am Lu Bu! Why should I be afraid!"
Faced with Lu Bu's ferocious aura, Xun Yu remained as calm as water and retorted softly: "I know that generals have nothing to fear, but it is just a defeat. Victory and defeat are common things for military officers, so there is no need to be afraid."
Lu Bu was filled with rage: "You mean... I, Lu Bu, will be defeated by a bunch of rabble like you?"
Xun Yu did not answer directly, but just smiled: "During the battle at Guangcheng Pass, General Xu must have thought that we were just a mob, but you already know the outcome."
What is language arts?
Xun Yu’s words are the most perfect explanation.
He cleverly defended his dignity by using analogies, and successfully diverted Lu Bu's attention to Xu Rong, stimulating the conflict between the two.
Don't you see...
Lu Bu, a stubborn guy, immediately turned to glance at Xu Rong: "Our Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is invincible, how can it be compared to their Northern Army? He will lose, but this general will never!"
Arrogant and domineering, it can be seen at a glance.
But...
Not to Xun Yu, but to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong was really unbearable, but he was afraid that Xun Yu would see the joke, so he hurriedly agreed: "The Northern Army was indeed defeated, and this is Xu's fault, but the Wolf Cavalry is not the Northern Army, and it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. "
"Besides..."
Xu Rong emphasized: "Based on the defeat of our Northern Army, I think General Lu will be more cautious and use troops wisely. Mr. Xun's words of victory are probably too early."
Xun Yu had to admit that Xu Rong was a person who had an overall view of the situation, but it was a pity that he bumped into Lu Bu. Moreover, the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo was sworn as father and son, which made Xu Rong very difficult to deal with.
This will be a very good breakthrough!
Xun Yu was secretly happy in his heart and nodded slowly: "Indeed, it is too early to say victory now, so let me rest here for a day, and the results will naturally come tomorrow."
Lu Bu was angry: "Left and right, take this thief Xun Yu down and put him in prison!"
The guard cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "No!"
"No need!"
Xun Yu waved his hand: "I have feet, and I can walk on my own."
Immediately.
He suddenly turned around and strode out of the camp.
The moment he left, Xu Rong immediately turned around and said coldly: "General Lu, if Dagu Pass is lost, even if you and I have ten heads, it won't be enough to chop it off."
"If you force Xun Yu to stay here, tomorrow the rebels will bring troops and tens of thousands of troops will gather under the city. What will you do? Is it possible that you really want to kill Xun Yu, Yin Xiu?"
At this point, Xu Rong was furious and could not reveal his anger: "Do you know what serious consequences this matter will bring? If the Great Valley Pass is broken, the thieves will march straight in and enter Bigui Garden. The layout of the Prime Minister in Luoyang
, and it was completely destroyed.”
"The Prime Minister captured Yin Xiu to delay time at a critical moment, rather than letting you use it as a threat to fight with him in advance. Prime Minister has good intentions, how can you not understand?"
How could Lu Bu not know this?
only......
He was just hot-blooded and overconfident.
At this moment, he was addicted to talking, but what to do next, Lu Bu really didn't dare to make this decision.
Xu Rong took the opportunity to attack and said sternly: "If you really want to fight the traitor, I will leave Dagong Pass to you. I, Xu Rong, will immediately lead my troops to leave and return to Luoyang to help Luoyang, so that the prime minister can prepare in advance.
"
"General Lu!"
Xu Rong took a deep breath and tried to retreat: "Do you dare to agree?"
The rage in Lu Bu's chest gradually calmed down: "Don't forget, you Xu Rong is the commander guarding Dagu Pass. If I, Lu Bu, can leave, even if you Xu Rong dies, you will have to die here!"
"snort!"
Xu Rong snorted angrily: "You know now that I am the commander-in-chief?"
Lu Bu was indifferent and did not dare to respond to Xu Rong's questioning.
Xu Rong did not pursue him fiercely, but instead said in a seductive manner: "General, do you know what impression you and I would have left on Xun Yu when we were in the military tent just now?"
Lu Bu naturally knew, but he had no shame to speak and remained indifferent.
Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "One army and two commanders were originally a taboo among military strategists. Now you and I are arguing in the tent, which makes Xun Yu know that you and I are at odds. Now we can't kill people, we can only let them go. They will definitely do it."
It catches the flaw."
"I think back then, when the Yellow Turbans rebelled, the imperial court sent General Huangfu Song from the left and General Zhu Jun from the right to lead troops to Yuzhou to put down the rebellion. The situation was exactly the same as it is now. They both had one army and two commanders, and conflicts were inherent."
"General Zhu has experienced hundreds of battles and is a veteran on the battlefield. He disdains to be with Huangfu Song, a junior general who lacks combat experience. Therefore, he led 5,000 elite soldiers in advance to kill Yuzhou. In the end, he was killed by Bocai's tens of thousands of troops.
Big defeat."
"I, Xu Rong, have kept this incident in my mind to this day. I just want to use it as a warning to tell myself that I must stay calm at all times and never look down on others, let alone be arrogant and indulgent."
Xu Rong's true feelings made Lu Bu gradually let go of his prejudices and regain his rationality: "So, why was the imperial court defeated in the first battle?"
"Um."
Xu Rong nodded and said softly: "Fortunately, General Huangfu is a generous man and takes the initiative to discuss everything with General Zhu. General Zhu was very moved and united with General Huangfu sincerely. Only then could he defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and sweep across the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou."
, invincible."
Although Lu Bu's mind was weak, he still understood the underlying meaning of Xu Rong's words.
He immediately cupped his hands and said, "General Xu, Bu Duo has offended me before. I hope the general will forgive me."
Xu Rong returned the courtesy: "Xu also had inappropriate words and deeds. I hope the general will forgive him."
Now that the two of them had turned their hostility into friendship, Lu Bu stood up and said, "I will personally let Xun Yu go."
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Rong immediately waved his hand to interrupt: "General Lu, Xu didn't stop him, not only to save the general's face, but also to take advantage of the situation. Whether the situation in Daguguan can be reversed depends entirely on this person."
"oh?"
Lu Bu couldn't help but be curious: "General, does he have a plan?"
Xu Rong nodded: "That's right."
Lu Bu was overjoyed: "Please give me some advice, General."
Xu Rong took a deep breath: "Since Xun Yu knows that you and I are at odds, we can take this as an opportunity to intensify the conflict, lure the enemy to attack, and set up an ambush along the way to make a good comeback."
In fact, Xu Rong knew very well that with the current strength and condition of Daguguan's troops, it was simply impossible to withstand King Hongnong's strong attack.
One thing is that Xun Yu is right. Now that the situation of fighting against Dong is in full swing, it is the perfect opportunity for King Hongnong to attack Daguguan. The other party will never miss this opportunity easily.
Regardless of whether you are holding Yin Xiu or Xun Yu, it is difficult for them to stop King Hongnong from attacking the city alone. If you don't attack them, you can use them as hostages, but once you kill them, you will be completely
angered the other party.
Xu Rong deeply understood that what Daguguan needed was delay, not a decisive battle.
but......
If we can effectively weaken the opponent's strength before the decisive battle, we will be able to delay the battle better, instead of pinning our hopes on the hostages. After all, this is too passive.
In the past, Xu Rong did not dare to think about how to weaken the opponent's strength, but today Xun Yu's arrival gave him hope. In addition, Lu Bu fought fiercely for two days, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. The team urgently needed a victory to consolidate the morale of the army.
As long as this battle can be won.
Xu Rong was confident that he could hold out until Dong Zhuo came.
Lu Bu was very excited: "Can the general elaborate? Bu still doesn't understand."
Xu Rong nodded: "Actually, it's very simple. The general insists on fighting, but Xu insists on holding on. Now that Xun Yu knows about our disagreement, can he not be moved?"
"And if Xu secretly lets Xun Yu return to camp and agrees to his conditions, General Lu will be furious after learning about this and secretly leads troops to attack. What will the traitor do?"
Lu Bu blurted out without thinking: "Of course I will take advantage of the situation to counterattack!"
Xu Rongdan smiled: "That's right! I just wanted him to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. The general was defeated and fled, and led him into the valley near Niuzui Mountain. Xu set up an ambush here. Based on the terrain advantage, he will definitely win a complete victory."
Phew~~~
After Xu Rong finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said softly: "If our army wins this battle, even if it cannot completely annihilate the opponent, it will definitely severely damage its vitality. How can we dare to covet Dagu Pass in a short period of time?"
Lu Bu suddenly understood and nodded: "Haha! The general's plan is brilliant."
Xu Rong raised his hand and said, "In that case, we will act according to the plan?"
Lu Bu smiled lightly: "You should act according to your plan."
*****
Daguguan.
somewhere.
Xun Yu looked around and asked in a low voice: "Gongxian, how did your inquiry go?"
Deng Zhan nodded and said: "We basically have a clear understanding. Yin Shaofu and others are all imprisoned in the northwest. There is Lu Bu's camp, with about 10,000 troops. Xu Rong's camp is located in the northeast, with slightly less troops, but probably no less than 8,000.
.”
He Yun also joined in: "As the military advisor expected, Xu Rong and Lu Bu have many conflicts. Moreover, after two battles, Lu Bu's momentum has obviously surpassed that of Xu Rong, and there is a faint tendency to turn against the guest."
Xun Yu pinched a long beard under his chin: "One army and two commanders has been a taboo among military strategists since ancient times. Even if Dong Zhuo wanted to strengthen the power of Dagong Pass, he should not have sent Lu Bu here. This is the key to our army's victory."
"Having said that."
"But......"
Deng Zhan looked around at the soldiers and horses on guard duty not far away, and said with a sad face: "Military advisor, now that we are behind bars, how can we inform His Highness of the information?"
"yes!"
He Yun was even more worried: "Lü Bu is a thief who loves fighting. If we fall into his hands, we will not end well. Not to mention passing on information, it is not certain whether we can save our lives."
Only Xun Yu was calm and composed, as if he didn't care at all: "Why, are you scared?"
Deng Zhan and He Yun both shook their heads.
Deng Zhan frowned: "It is not a pity to die, but if we die like this, I will be very unhappy. If we really want to die, we will have to support him."
"That's right!"
He Yun nodded affirmatively: "We brothers will attack together. Even if we can't kill him out of the city gate, it won't be a problem to kill forty-five of his people. This is a worthy death."
"Oh, that's enough."
Xun Yu quickly waved his hand to interrupt and sighed helplessly: "Lu Bu doesn't understand the situation, how can Xu Rong not understand it? Don't worry, although we are in danger, we are as stable as Mount Tai."
"The military advisor means..."
Deng Zhan was surprised and asked tentatively: "Will Xu Rong let us go?"
Xun Yu twisted his beard and said: "If my guess is correct, Xu Rongding is trying to comfort Lu Bu at this moment. Although Lu Bu is angry for a moment, after all, he has experienced hundreds of battles and calmed down, so he will not dare to make mistakes."
After today's confrontation with Lu Bu and Xu Rong, Xun Yu had a general understanding of the temperaments of these two people. Lu Bu was impulsive and a little impulsive, while Xu Rong was cautious by nature and had a good view of the overall situation.
When he attacked Lu Bu, Xu Rong always tried to reduce the contradiction as much as possible to prevent himself from seeing the clues. Not only that, Xu Rong's strategic thinking was overall and could start from the entire battlefield of challenging Dong. Such a person is indeed worthy of
Called a general.
but......
Xun Yu was convinced that the more Xu Rong could focus on the overall situation, the safer he would be.
He Yun nodded with interest: "Yes, what the military advisor said makes sense. He will send us out just like he did to escort us over. This feels really good!"
Xun Yu sighed and said calmly: "Let's just wait and see. Not long after we arrive, Lu Bu will send someone to let us go. After we leave the customs, we will rush back and report to His Highness."
The two nodded: "No."
Sure enough!
Just as smoke rises from the city gates, wolves are riding in pots making rice.
