Xu Rong was a general who had been seriously underestimated.
There were two types of Great Generals. One was a fierce general who charged into battle, and the other was a wise general who was resourceful.
Xu Rong belonged to the second category.
In history, Xu Rong had defeated Cao Cao and Sun Ce. If it wasn't for his subordinate Hu Zhen's betrayal, he wouldn't have died in the Battle of Xinfeng.
It could be said that it was easy to die suddenly. This was a serious shortcoming of a wise general.
Even Xu Rong, who had the ability to command, could not escape his fate.
Now,
After Hua Xiong was torn apart by Zhao Ming, the Western Liang Army in Tiger Cage Pass was in a state of panic.
Xu Rong, who was in charge of the military power of Tiger Cage Pass, did not even think about it and quickly promoted many brave generals. Apart from that, he also beheaded some of the Western Liang generals who were not determined.
A series of measures were taken.
The morale of the army quickly stabilized.
Hwa Xiong's death didn't cause too much of a negative impact on Tiger Cage Pass.
What was even more heaven-defying was that Xu Rong had borrowed the pressure from the 18th feudal vassal to personally lead the Western Liang army to consolidate and repair Hulao Pass overnight, survey the city's defenses, and make extremely detailed arrangements for the relevant defenses.
As a result, Tiger Cage Pass had become an impregnable fortress.
In a short period of time, no matter how the eighteen vassals attacked, they would only suffer heavy casualties.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the night had passed.
Cao Cao had just woken up when a piece of good news reached his ears.
In ancient times, evil came, Dian Wei!
He was here!
"Sergeant Dian Wei greets the lord!"
A dark and muscular man saw Cao Cao walking out of the tent barefooted. Without a word, he stabbed the heavy metal halberd in his hand into the ground and immediately knelt down to salute Cao Cao to show his loyalty.
Although Dian Wei was dumb and rough, he wasn't stupid.
Cao Cao had spent a large amount of money and food to exchange for him from the prefect of Chen Liu, so he would definitely put him in an important position.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Since that was the case, then why did he need to learn from others to twist Nini?
He could just express his loyalty to those who thought highly of him.
"Please get up, haha!"
"Now that I, Cao Mengde, have obtained Dian Wei, I am like a tiger with another wing!”
Cao Cao quickly helped Dian Wei up and invited him to the tent to eat meat and drink wine!
Needless to say, this was something that Zhao Ming had warned Cao Cao about.
It was very simple to subdue Dian Wei!
There was no need for gold, silver, luxurious houses, or beautiful women. He only needed to provide a large amount of wine and meat!
Cao Cao naturally followed Zhao Ming's words. Not long after eating and drinking in the tent, Dian Wei was completely subdued by Cao Cao. He would probably commit suicide even if Cao Cao ordered him to.
After breakfast, Cao Cao made him a lieutenant and commanded his personal guards.
Dian Wei is brave and brave, but not resourceful.
It was most suitable to be used as a personal bodyguard.
…Underline…
The sun rose from the east.
In the alliance army camp, the eighteen dukes gathered once again.
After a night of brewing, the dukes realized that if they continued to argue, they would only delay the opportunity.
After a round of discussion, the various vassals finally decided to give the position of the vanguard to Sun Jian, the Governor of Changsha.
As for the rest of the siege army…
He would use Yuan Shao's army as the main force, with Yuan Shu and the other vassal armies as support.
During this discussion, Cao Cao repeatedly stated that Xu Rong of Tiger Cage Pass was extraordinary and could not be easily provoked. If they wanted to take down Tiger Cage Pass, they had to think long and hard.
But how could the dukes be willing to listen?
He still insisted on attacking Tiger Cage Pass.
Left with no choice, Cao Cao could only say that he would be the rear troops in this attack.
As soon as he said that, he was mocked by the dukes.
However, Cao Cao was drinking with Zhao Ming beside him, not caring about the ridicule of others at all.
After the plan to attack Tiger Cage Pass was decided,
The Governor of Changsha, Sun Jian, knew that the vassals were bullying him. The so-called vanguard was nothing more than cannon fodder.
However, Sun Jian, who had a fierce fighting style, still led his troops without hesitation and defeated the Western Liang army outside Hulao Pass.
However, just as Sun Jian was about to pursue the victory,
The alliance army camp behind them beat drums and ordered Sun Jian to retreat.
Sun Jian was so angry that he immediately cursed, but he still chose to withdraw his troops.
Soon after, the two armies under Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu rushed to chase after the fleeing Western Liang army. The vanguard of the army even charged into Tiger Cage Pass!
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were watching the battle from the back, were overjoyed, thinking that Tiger Cage Pass could be broken in an instant.
The gates of Tiger Cage Pass, which were originally wide open, suddenly closed again.
On the city walls, countless Western Liang archers suddenly appeared. They drew their bows and nocked their arrows, shooting wildly at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's army below the city walls!
As for the alliance army that had already charged into Tiger Cage Pass, their fate was even worse. Under the rain of arrows from all directions, they were all pierced like porcupines.
However, compared to Xu Rong's scheme.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the other 16 armies performed even worse.
When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall, they were suddenly rained down by a wave of arrows. The two armies were instantly defeated and immediately fled.
Behind Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops,
However, the armies of the other fourteen dukes had originally been following closely behind Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's army of tens of thousands, hoping to get some soup to drink.
Now, they had become obstacles in the way!
Thus, an extremely tragic stampede happened!
Underline…
The main character was a violent strategist.
For example, Guo Jia, the number one genius of the Three Kingdoms, or Chen Qingzhi, who had thousands of soldiers and horses, were all top strategists or commanders in history.
However, they all died early due to physical reasons.
Therefore, the author wanted to write a different strategist.
I hope everyone likes it.
It was fine if he didn't like her, he could leave quietly.
We are all civilized people, please do not make personal attacks.
The author was a handicapped person, and it was his first time writing a violent strategist novel, so the updates were limited.
However, the author would try his best to ensure that he would update at least four chapters a day.
