17, raising pirates
"What did you say? Li Chanjun has already transferred half of the captive camp's troops, and that Yan Yan was also taken away?"
After listening to the report of Li Meng who was rushing back, Xu Rong's face changed. He stood up suddenly and stared at Li Meng in the lower head with his sword. His face was changing in a volatile way.
Under Xu Rong's eyes, Li Meng was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. He was trembling and sweating profusely, and said cautiously:
"Li Chengjun was appointed as the general order of the king and the prince, and the villain dared not enter the military camp!"
Seeing Li Meng's trembling look, Xu Rong waved his hand without any intention of criticizing him.
"I understand, you can step down first!"
Xu Rong also knew that Li Ru dared to do such a thing in Dong's army only after being ordered by the former general. Previous military orders prohibited the army from going to the prisoner camp to select prisoners and supplementing them. For example, Li Jue and Guo Si who offered the method of selecting soldiers had already had some complaints. In their opinion, these prisoners were originally their belongings, and strengthening the strength of their troops in the army was the interest of every leading general. Anyone who took away the fat from their mouths would make a grudge with them.
Xu Rong made his first contribution to the guard Chen Cang, and the lost people under his command immediately had a former general personally allocated people to make up for it. Naturally, he didn't have to stare at the captive camp like Li Jue, Guo Si and others. What he was surprised and concerned about now was that he had no idea that the soldiers and horses in the army had changed.
Xu Rong followed Dong Zhuo for many years and claimed to be one of Dong Zhuo's confidant generals. However, in fact, the generals in Dong Zhuo's army mostly use their own children and Liang people. For example, Niu Fu, Dong Yue and Duan Wei, who are also the captains, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Dong Yue is a relative of Dong Zhuo's family, Duan Wei is a clan of Duan Jing, a famous general of this dynasty born in Liangzhou. Others, such as Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other Sima and Junhou in the army were also from Liang people, but Xu Rong is from Liaodong and his status is sometimes quite embarrassing. Although the factional disputes formed between this region were not directly exposed, Xu Rong ignored some rumors about regional disputes in the army on weekdays, but as his power in the army became increasingly powerful, Xu Rong had to act cautiously and maintain a good relationship with the generals in the army.
This time, the former general Dong Zhuo did not convene a military discussion to seek the opinions of everyone, but directly handed over the matter to his think tank Li Ru. It happened that Xu Rong had just made great contributions and was promoted to the captain of the army. He was very energetic and wanted to show his strength, but he didn't even have the right to know about this matter, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
However, although he was a little discouraged, and the task assigned to Li Meng was left empty after going to the prisoner camp, Xu Rong calmed down for a while, cheered up and sat down again. He knew in his heart that the moment was the war was rising and the warriors were experiencing their lives. As long as he continued to build military achievements on the battlefield, he would not be afraid of not having his own foothold in this Dong camp.
As for the captive Yan Yan, Xu Rong decided to find an opportunity to talk to Li Ru, to see if he could come over first. No matter whether he was the rebel general who escaped from his hands, since this person had reached his own nose, the power of life and death should be held in his own hands.

When Yan Xing returned to his new camp, Gan Ling and Ma Lin immediately surrounded him. Although they did not directly ask what the Han army had planned for the sudden change in their attitude towards them, everyone looked at Yan Xing with anxious and anxious eyes, waiting for him to relieve the doubts in their hearts.
Yan Xing smiled bitterly, pointed to one of his military tents, and asked the two of them to come to the tent to discuss matters first. The matter was of great importance. Gan Ling, Ma Lin and others couldn't wait to know how these Han soldiers were going to deal with their plans, so they quickly asked the two of them to guard outside the tent, and then hurriedly entered the tent with Yan Xing.
"Shaojun, what are the plans of these Han soldiers? Why did they suddenly change their temper? Could it be that they wanted to assign us to death and let us go and kill each other with the troops in Liangzhou?"
Ma Lin was an unbearable person. In his opinion, these Han troops, who were full of tricks, must have planned to plot against their own side again. Therefore, although he had eaten the food sent by the Han army, his hostility towards the Han army did not decrease at all. He couldn't wait to know what these Han troops were planning.
Gan Ling was asked first by Ma Lin. He was a cautious person and did not ask any questions at the moment, but he also turned his doubts to Yan Xing. He also believed that the sudden change of attitude of these Han troops who usually regard their captives as pigs and dogs did seem to have other plans, but they were afraid that the disaster would not be less than staying in the prisoner camp.
Yan Xing looked at the anxious gazes of the two, and he remembered what Li Ru said to the many rebel prisoners who were lying on the ground not long ago.
"In the past, Yu Rang once said, "Fan, everyone in Zhongxing met me, so everyone will repay him. As for Zhibo, the national soldiers met me, and my hometown soldiers will repay him. Today, I forgive you for your death penalty and want you to be equally deadly!"
Yan Xing sighed, looked at Ma Lin, and Gan Ling and the others said:
"When the chief clerk Li wanted us to serve him, he continued to disturb the three servants and attack the villages and settlements as a broken soldier!"
"This? This is too ridiculous. Are these Han troops not the Sanfu's garrison? Why do we have to wait to disturb their garrison? There is a fraud in this!"
When he heard these Han soldiers, he was neither going to take their own troops under his command nor to act as dead soldiers to fill the ravines, but to continue to restore their defeated soldiers before being captured, leave the three auxiliary personnel, and make a living. Ma Lin, who was still eager to know the Han army's plans, was stunned and could not speak. Instead, Gan Ling, who had not asked the question just now, felt thoughtful after hearing this and directly expressed his doubts.
"Indeed, I thought there must be a fraud in it at first, but now we have become prisoners who are slaughtered, and the power of life and death is in the hands of these Han soldiers. Why should the other party cheat us now? Besides, even if there is a fraud in it, we have no other way to survive. Only by following this path can we take advantage of the opportunity to gain a glimmer of life!"
Yan Xing told the two of his situation and the decision he made, and then he didn't say anything. He thought of these Han soldiers' plans to raise the enemy's self-respect, but the situation is not clear now, so he should not tell them for the time being, so as not to cause disaster to him.
"Since the young master has made the decision, what will I do next?"
Gan Ling did not question Yan Xing's decision. He thought about it and chose to ask Yan Xing's next plan.
Yan Xing took a deep breath, and Xu Rong's face appeared in his mind. He said without hesitation:
"I have asked the Chief Li to order and set off tonight!"
