Although Xu Rong could see that Luo Xu Mountain was not suitable for garrisoning troops, he had read the letter with Dong Zhuo's seal and Gao Ze's letter yesterday, so he still chose to station his troops here.
While Xu Rong and the other Deputy Generals were cleaning up the camp, their every move was quickly reported back to Zhending County.
"Did Xu Rong really say that?" Qin Prajna was surprised.
"Yes, Military Advisor," the spy reported.”
Qin Prajna's expression turned serious.""Looks like this Xu Rong has some ability. He's not an embroidered pillow. Our intelligence is a little wrong!”
Liu Rui smiled confidently and said," Prajna, it doesn't matter. Xu Rong has always been low-key, and Dong Zhuo doesn't like him, so he wasn't put in an important position. He has few military achievements, so it's hard to know his true strength. He can see the problem of Mount Luo Xu, which at least proves that he has some ability in marching and fighting. However, his martial strength should be average, or else he would have to listen to Gao Ze's orders."”
Xu Rong was a person who wasn't familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms. They might not know much about him because he rarely showed his face in the Three Kingdoms. However, his battle achievements weren't bad at all.
He had once defeated Cao Cao's army. If Cao Hong had not rushed over to save him, Cao Cao would have died in his hands. Later, in the Battle of Liang Dong, he led his army to defeat Sun Jian because of him. His main achievement was defeating these two. Therefore, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the historians of the Cao Wei and Sun Wu families would naturally deliberately ignore him. In fact, objectively speaking, although Xu Rong's combat strength was not high, he was still a very good general in terms of marching and fighting.
Qin Prajna smiled bitterly." It seems that my information is still lacking. I have to think of a way to improve it."”
"Report, Xu Rong has already descended the mountain and is heading straight for Zhen Ding County!”Another spy came forward to report.
Liu Rui waved his hand and said,"Let's start!"”
"This subordinate will make the arrangements now!" Qin Prajna turned around and walked out of the hall of the county government. She passed down orders in an orderly manner. The generals also acted according to the orders they received.
Liu Rui and Qin Prajna also came to the city gate tower and quietly observed Xu Rong and the others who rode into the city.
"The mountain bandits of Tiger Tooth Mountain are really not simple. Not only are there so many of them, but their aura is not inferior to the soldiers at all!”Xu Rong rode his horse into the city. When he saw the troops of Tiger Tooth Mountain pretending to attack the city at the city gate, he could not help but sigh.
The deputy general beside Xu Rong said,"Yes, this army seems to have at least 5,000 people. Their strength is almost comparable to the Chang Shan County Governor's army."”
" What?!" Xu Rong suddenly reined in his horse and turned around to ask.
The deputy general beside him was stunned by Xu Rong's sudden question. After he came back to his senses, he said,"Your subordinate just said that the strength of these bandits is almost comparable to the forces of the County Governor's Estate!”
"Not good, there's a trap!" Xu Rong hurriedly turned his horse around and wanted to leave the city. He had felt that something was wrong along the way, but he didn't find any difference. He thought that there was something wrong with his intuition.
The Deputy General's words had awakened him. With so many soldiers on Tiger Tooth Mountain, if they relied on the terrain and defended the mountain, unless Xia Houjie had more than thirty thousand soldiers, it would be impossible to take down Tiger Tooth Mountain.
Then why did the chief of Tiger Tooth Mountain seek refuge with Gao Ze in fear? If it was said that ordinary mountain bandits were afraid of the soldiers, it would still make sense. However, this group of people on Tiger Tooth Mountain had made a name for themselves in the battle where they killed Lieutenant Geng Chun under Xia Houjie and destroyed his thousand soldiers. To be able to train such an imposing chief, he was definitely not an ordinary person. There was no way he would submit to Gao Ze in such a pathetic manner.
Thinking of this, Xu Rong immediately reacted. There must be a trap!
Although Xu Rong's reaction was fast, Liu Rui was well prepared. How could he let him leave the city? Xu Rong had just turned his horse around when he saw the gate of Zhending County slowly closing. Many soldiers rushed out from all directions. The soldiers on the city wall had already aimed their arrows at Xu Rong and his subordinates.
"General Xu, I'm impressed. I didn't expect you to see through our carefully planned trap!”
After Xu Rong and the others were surrounded, Liu Rui and Qin Prajna appeared on the city wall.
Although Xu Rong knew Liu Rui's order, he had never seen him before. He waved the long saber in his hand and said loudly,"Who are you? Where is Gao Ze? Get him to come out and see me!”
"General Xu, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Gao Ze because I sent him on his way two days ago." Liu Rui laughed. I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and I've finally waited for you!”
"So all of this was a trap set by you! Who exactly are you? Even if you want me to die, let me die with an understanding!”Xu Rong immediately reacted. It turned out that every step he took these few days was within the calculations of others.
"General Xu, I'm sure you already know what's going on, so why ask?" Liu Rui smiled.”
"Haha, so I didn't guess wrong. You are the chief of Tiger Tooth Mountain, Liu Rui. It seems that in the near future, the master of Chang Mountain will be none other than you!”Xu Rong immediately connected everything together and came up with the truth.
"General Xu, it's a waste of your talent to follow Dong Zhuo. Why don't you surrender to me?" Liu Rui nodded.”
"You're underestimating me too much!" Xu Rong sneered.”
Liu Rui shook his head and waved his hand."Lin Chongan is here. Capture him with me!”
"Lin Chong is here!"
Chong Lin was wearing a full body armor and holding a long snake spear. He rode his black horse out from the corner of the city wall. He knocked the horse's stomach and stabbed at Xu Rong with his spear.
Xu Rong tightened his grip on the long saber in his hand, knocked the horse's belly, and rushed towards Lin Chong. The weapons in their hands collided heavily.
"Prajna, inform Zilong, Hua Rong, Tian Boguang, and Life Chaser to start moving!”Liu Rui looked at Lin Chong and Xu Rong, who were already engaged in a fierce battle.
"This subordinate will obey!"
Qin Prajna turned her head and waved at a soldier holding a red flag standing on the city wall.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720195:21PM
