Lantian Daying.

At the fifth update of the night, there was still a flash of light in the central army's tent.

It was dawn for another hour, but Xu Rong, the leader of the camp, was still wearing armor and sitting upright beside the handsome desk and flirted with his brows. He frowned, his eyes flashed, like the lights on both sides, and he was absent-minded, as if he had a difficult choice.

"Dang thump!"

"Report———General Li Li of the Cavalry, who surrendered to the famous sect, claiming to meet the general immediately." As a burst of clear footsteps approached, the personal soldiers hurried into the tent and reported respectfully.

"Li Li? It's already the fifth day. Why did he come to see me at this time? Do you see clearly? How many people did Li Li bring during this trip?" Xu Rong stood up in surprise and walked to the personal soldiers and asked in a deep voice.

The personal soldiers were slightly stunned when they heard this and hurriedly reported: "Report to General, General of the Cavalry brought five thousand iron cavalry during this trip, which is said to be his personal soldiers' camp Jinqiwei."

"Jin Qi Guard?" Xu Rong pondered and said to himself: "Isn't the Wuwei Army that fought against the Wolf Cavalry under Lu Bu's previous battle with the Jin Qi Guard? It has been crippled by Lu Bu and has been replenished so quickly. It seems that I underestimated the strength of the Wuwei Army before and looked down on General Li Li!"

After a little thought, Xu Rong ordered his personal soldiers in a deep voice: "Give me orders immediately, hold a banquet in the big tent, and I will go out to the camp to welcome the General Li Li of the Cavalry!"

"This,,,,,,,,,!" The personal soldiers hesitated to remind Xu Rong that it was not too late at this time, and it was probably too late to hold a banquet. But seeing Xu Rong's unquestionable expression, the personal soldiers immediately did not dare to say more, bowed to accept the order and left the tent immediately.

"Li Li came to my Lantian camp at this time, and I'm afraid he was coming to Lu Bu's army. Alas, Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and this Li Xiaoqi. I, Xu, don't want to offend any of these people! But I just let Lu Bu's army go, and Li Li led the Wuwei Iron Cavalry to come afterwards, but I was afraid that the people who came were not good at it!" After the personal soldiers went out, Xu Rong paced back and forth in the tent with anxiety, muttering to himself.

Indeed, the reason why Xu Rong had not yet rested at the fifth day of the day and was wearing armor was that Lu Bu's army passed by the Lantian camp half an hour ago, disturbing his good dream. However, when he learned that the army that was heading south overnight was the wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's command, he did not order to stop him, but let him aside the fact that Lu Bu's army leave.

However, Xu Rong also saw that the morale of Lu Bu's army was low and he was quite frightened and fled. Although he was quite surprised at that time, he couldn't understand why Lu Bu's army went south so flustered and went south overnight, but he did not lead the army out of the camp to inquire. He thought it was not known about this matter, and he let Lu Bu's army pass through the Lantian Daying Defense Zone.

As soon as Lu Bu's army left, Wuwei army arrived later. Li Li personally led the troops, which made Xu Rong feel sensitive that the things tonight seemed not as simple as he imagined.

Could it be that there was another incident in Chang'an City, where Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others were defeated by Li Jue and Uncle Li Li?

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Rong's thoughts were completely in chaos and he was frightened.

Half a month ago, the news of Dong Zhuo's death reached the Lantian camp. Xu Rong made a quick decision. He immediately submitted a memorial to the court for pardoning his crimes and clearly stated that he was willing to lead his army to surrender to the court. For this reason, he and his deputy general Fan Chou turned against each other on the spot and parted in dissatisfaction. Then Fan Chou took his troops from the camp and went to Anyi to join Li Jue's tent.

Afterwards, Xu Rong did not regret his decision to lead his army to surrender to the court. Because in his opinion, once Dong Zhuo died, the once-strong Xiliang army would inevitably fall apart, and the generals in the army would be panicked and scattered, running for their own lives, and the generals were out of the blue. And Xu Rong chose to rely on the court and surrender to Wang Yun and Lu Bu at this time, which was a wise move to protect himself. For this reason, when he received the imperial edict from the court that wanted Li Li, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, he was complacent and secretly glad that he, the foreigner among the Xiliang generals, finally chose the right path, escaped the disaster, and was not implicated in the remnants of Dong Zhuo.

Xu Rong was indeed an outsider in the Xiliang army. He was from Liaodong, Youzhou. He had no chance of becoming an official in his early years and came to Xiliang, which was constantly in war and was immediately under Dong Zhuo. Because he was brave in fighting, proficient in military strategies, brave and resourceful, he was appreciated by Dong Zhuo and promoted to a small and medium-sized military school. Since then, he led troops to fight, and never lost every battle. His military discipline was strict and he obeyed orders. He was highly valued by Dong Zhuo. He became a confidant general of Dong Zhuo and ranked among the five major military leaders of the Xiliang army.

One of the Generals of the Central Army held tens of thousands of soldiers. However, he had a very ordinary relationship with the main generals of the army, Li Jue, Guo Si, Dong Yue, Niu Fu, Duan Wei and others, and he could never integrate into the generals of the Western Liang army and wandered outside the generals of the Western Liang army. This was not that Li Jue, Guo Si and others were unwilling to accept him, but that he deliberately kept a distance from each other and was unwilling to get along with the generals. Because only in this way would Dong Zhuo regard him as a confidant, trust him, and use him.

However, things in the world were impermanent and unpredictable. Dong Xiangguo, who was powerful and domineering the world, was actually planned to be involved by Wang Yun, and was then killed by his adopted son Lu Bu. In the situation, Xu Rong decisively chose to leave the Xiliang army and surrender to the court led by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and was quickly pardoned. After surrendering to the court, he did not lead his troops to Chang'an, nor did he hand over the military power in his hands, and was still stationed in the Lantian camp. This was not that Lu Bu and others did not want to take back the military power in his hands, but that he tried every means to evade the military power and kept his troops in hand, which made Lu Bu and others dare not force them too much, and could only lead his troops to garrison on the spot as he wished.

The reason why Xu Rong held the military power tightly and did not lead his troops to Chang'an was because he was worried that Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals would not sit still and wait for death, and they were likely to be desperate to lead their troops to counterattack Chang'an. Although he believed that Li Jue, Guo Si and others did not have the courage to rebel, he still had this concern. In order to be foolproof, he led his troops to Lantian and wait and see to avoid disaster.

It’s a pity that blindly avoiding things in the world is not a long-term solution, and what should come will always come.

Standing in the tent, Xu Rong hesitated for a while. From Lu Bu's army hurried south and Li Li came to Lantian camp overnight, he felt that something big must have happened in Chang'an City, but the news did not come out immediately.

——————————————

"Xu is deeply sorry for letting Wenchang wait for a long time."

At the gate, Xu Rong walked out of the gate with more than ten personal soldiers, walked quickly to Li Li's mount of the Golden Beast King, and said with a smile.

"After a month, General Xu is fine?" Li Liruijun waited outside the gate for half an hour. Seeing that it was getting bright, Xu Rong had just opened the gate in a late manner. Facing Xu Rong's smiling face, Li Li turned over and dismounted, and greeted calmly.

"Xu was sleeping soundly just now, but I didn't expect Wenchang to visit Xingye. After a little washing, it took a lot of time. If you are rude, please forgive me. The night cold is heavy, Wenchang quickly enters the tent to take a break. I have prepared a little wine to drive away the cold and relieve fatigue for Wenchang. Hahaha!" Xu Rong saw that there was no unhappy expression on Li Li's face, and explained again, then pulled Li Li's arm into the camp.

"Please remove the weapons and enter the big tent again." Outside the central army's big tent, Xu Rong pulled Li Li into the big tent, but the personal soldiers outside the tent stopped Li Zhi, Dian Wei and Fan Yong, and reached out to ask them to hand over their carry-on weapons.

After hearing this, Li Li turned his head and looked at the personal soldiers outside the tent, then he didn't look at Xu Rong, and strode towards the head of the central tent, and sat down naturally.

"Wenchang, you are,,,,,,,,,," Xu Rong looked at Li Li sitting in his coaching position with a drastically changing expression, and said in surprise.

Li Li stared at Xu Rong with a cold expression and said in a deep voice: "Take Xu Rong off for me!"

Outside the tent, Li Zhi, who was in a stalemate with Xu Rong's personal soldiers, flashed his body after hearing Li Li's orders, appeared in the big tent in a blink of an eye, and then swung his wrist. But when he saw a black Feilian flying out in an uproar, he instantly wrapped around Xu Rong's upper body. Feilian quickly wrapped around three circles, tied Xu Rong and his two arms tightly. Immediately, Li Zhi suddenly appeared behind Xu Rong, carried him with one hand, walked to the front of the handsome tent, raised his leg and kicked Xu Rong and pushed the bend, causing Xu Rong, who was still in shock to scream in pain and kneeled in front of Li Li.

At the same time, Dian Wei and Fan Yong outside the tent acted at the right time, subdued twelve personal soldiers in just a few breaths, and then threw them into the tent.

"Fan Yong obeyed the order and immediately ordered all the generals above the commanders of Lantian Camp to come to the commander's tent to discuss matters! Dian Wei obeyed the order and led the Jinqi Guard to control the camp. All soldiers must stay in the camp. Whoever dared to resist the order will be killed without mercy!" On the main seat, Li Li ordered in a deep voice with a murderous look on his face.

"I hope, the general will accept the order." Fan Yong and Dian Wei two bowed to answer the order, and then left with great strides.

"Li Li, what do you want to do? Xu treats you with courtesy, but you are kind to repay your grudges. Let me go!" Xu Rong was forced to hold him down by Li Zhi, kneeling on the ground and scolding him angrily.

"Xu Rong, do you know your guilt?" Li Li asked in a deep voice with a stern expression.

Xu Rong looked at Li Li angrily and said indignantly: "Why is Mr. Xu guilty? Why do you forcibly detain me and dare to blame me?"

"Hmph!" Li Li snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Last night, my uncle and I joined forces to lead 150,000 troops to capture and kill Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Wang Yun committed suicide and died. Lu Bu led his army to flee Chang'an like a dog that was a broken family, fleeing to your Lantian camp overnight. But you had 30,000 troops but allowed Lu Bu's defeated army to leave, so I led my army to chase hundreds of miles, watching Lu Bu's army cross the Lantian camp and flee south. How can you argue about such crimes of indulging the enemy?

Xu Rong, you were originally a trusted general under my father-in-law Dong Xiangguo. The Prime Minister treated you well during his lifetime, but once the Prime Minister died, you immediately surrendered to the murderer Lu Bu who killed the Prime Minister. Tonight, Lu Bu's defeated army passed by your Lantian camp and fled in panic, but you did not move one soldier and one soldier, and let Lu Bu's army go privately. You don't have to deny it. With your Xu Rong's eyes, can you not see that Lu Bu's army is running for life? People who are as unfaithful and unrighteous as you, who are so unfaithful and forget about righteousness, do you still have the face to say that you are innocent?"

"Chang'an City has been broken?" Xu Rong pondered in horror, then lowered his head with a pale face, and said in a deep voice in a deep voice: "The success and the king have been defeated since ancient times. Now that things have come, Xu has nothing to say. If you want to kill and cut them, you will be punished by the Lord!" (To be continued)
