"General Xu, a real man is born in a chaotic world. He should carry a three-foot sword and make great contributions. How can he bend down to serve a thief?”Liu Rui stared into Xu Rong's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Xu Rong's heart shook when he heard this. After a long time, he sighed and said,"My family members are all in Luoyang. What should I do?”
Liu Rui smiled and said,""General Xu, you can rest assured that your relatives should have already left Luoyang and are rushing over to Chang Mountain now!”
Xu Rong was shocked. It turned out that when Liu Rui knew that Xu Rong was the one leading the army, he had asked Qin Prajna to contact the spies in Luoyang and contact his relatives in Xu Rong's name.
Xu Rong was not a general in the army. Even Li Ru, who recommended him to lead the army, did not take Xu Rong seriously. Therefore, not many people paid attention to his family members. Liu Rui's spies easily took him out of Luoyang. Before Xu Rong's army arrived in Zhending, his family members were no longer in Luoyang.
"Subordinate Xu Rong greets the lord!"
After Xu Rong knew all of this, he knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.
Liu Rui laughed and personally went forward to remove the rope on Xu Rong's body and helped him up. Liu Rui's action made Xu Rong feel a trace of warmth in his heart.
"This subordinate is willing to go to Luo Xu Mountain and bring six thousand soldiers down the mountain to surrender to my lord!”Xu Rong cupped his hands and volunteered.
"That's good. Lin Chong, you and Xu Rong will go to Mount Luo Xu to gather the troops!" Liu Rui said with a smile.”
"This subordinate will obey!" Lin Chong stepped forward and bowed. Then, he left the city wall with Xu Rong and led a few of his trusted soldiers to gallop towards Luo Xu Mountain.
"Congratulations to my lord for obtaining a general and six thousand soldiers!”Qin Prajna walked forward and bowed slightly.
"Prajna, what do you think that old bastard Dong Zhuo's expression will be when he finds out about this?”Liu Rui was in a good mood after subduing Xu Rong and the six thousand Western Liang soldiers.
Qin Prajna smiled and said,""I'm so angry!"
"Prajna, have you arranged the celebration banquet tonight?”Liu Rui asked with a smile.
"It's already prepared!" Qin Prajna said.
At this moment, on Luo Xu Mountain.
The 6,000 Western Liang soldiers were already frightened. Zhao Zilong led 1,000 cavalrymen to guard the spring where they drew water. As long as the Western Liang soldiers got close, they would be chased away.
The infantry and archers led by Hua Rong and Tian Boguang only blocked the only path down the mountain. They placed barricades, scattered caltrops, and laid ropes.
The Western Liang troops on the mountain charged forward a few times, but they were unable to get close. They were shot back by the rain of arrows from the archers. They only guarded the intersection to prevent the Western Liang army from charging down and did not take the initiative to attack.
"Hua Rong, why do you think the lord doesn't want us to attack? Now that their morale is in disarray, defeating them is simply too easy!”Tian Boguang looked at the situation on the mountain in confusion.
Hua Rong smiled and said," Zilong has already cut off their water source. Without water to replenish them, they will be defeated without fighting tomorrow. Why do we have to waste our energy to attack them?"”
As the two of them were talking, a soldier walked over and knelt down on one knee."Reporting to Instructor Hua, Instructor Lin has brought a general!”
Hua Rong and Tian Boguang hurriedly rode over. When the two of them saw Xu Rong, their expressions immediately changed.
"Instructor Lin, what's going on?”Hua Rong hurriedly asked.
Lin Chong smiled and said," General Xu Rong has already abandoned the darkness and joined the light. He has defected to the lord. He is now following the lord's orders to go up the mountain to subdue the Western Liang troops!"”Hua Rong and Tian Boguang also cupped their fists at Xu Rong when they heard that. Xu Rong also cupped his fists in return.
"Generals, how is the situation on the mountain?”Xu Rong asked.
Hua Rong replied," Zilong has already taken control of the water source. Zhui Ming has already killed a few generals on the mountain. The morale of the army on the mountain has fallen."”
Xu Rong gasped. He had a better understanding of his new lord's strength. It seemed that even if he did not surrender, these six thousand men would not last more than two days.
"I'll go up the mountain and persuade them to surrender!" Xu Rong cupped his fists and said.”As he spoke, he spurred his horse and prepared to go up the mountain.
"Hold on, General Xu. Just now, we covered the mountain road with caltrops. Let me get someone to clean it up first.”Hua Rong hurriedly called out to Xu Rong. He waved his hand, and a few small teams of soldiers went to collect all the caltrops on the mountain road.
When Xu Rong appeared on the mountain, Zhui Ming was shocked and thought about how to kill him. However, he immediately saw Lin Chong who followed Xu Rong up the mountain. He knew that the situation was settled, so he quietly found a remote place to change his military uniform and left when no one was paying attention.
The Western Liang army, whose morale had been low, immediately calmed down when they saw Xu Rong appear.
Although Xu Rong was not successful, he was quite good at leading troops, so his prestige in the hearts of the six thousand soldiers was quite high. There were not many objections to Xu Rong's order to surrender.
Without too many twists and turns, after the soldiers on the mountain finished packing up their supplies, they surrendered to Liu Rui under the leadership of Xu Rong.
That night, Liu Rui also held a celebratory banquet in Zhending County.
Chang Shan County Governor Manor.
"My lord, there is an urgent report from Zhen Ding County!”
A deputy general came to Xia Houjie's door.
Xia Houjie, who was about to rest, hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door.""What urgent report?"
"We were all deceived by the people of Tiger Tooth Mountain. The county magistrate of Zhending, Gao Ze, was killed the day before yesterday. Today, Xu Rong and the six thousand soldiers of Western Liang sent by Dong Zhuo were also subdued by Liu Rui of Tiger Tooth Mountain!”The general reported everything that had happened in Zhending County to Xia Houjie.
Xia Houjie looked at the deputy general kneeling on the ground with his mouth agape. He couldn't believe his ears. Didn't they say that they would let the Tiger Fang Mountain Bandits fight Xu Rong's army so that he could profit from it?
How did it suddenly become Tiger Tooth Mountain taking down Zhending County and subduing Xu Rong's 6,000 strong army? This plot reversal was too fast. He could not keep up with the pace.
