The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 69 Seizing the Army
In Chang'an City, the calm situation hides turbulent waves.

Xun You hid in his mansion and looked at everything outside with cold eyes.

Wang Yun hosted a banquet for Lü Bu and asked his adopted daughter to perform a dance. The next day, Wang Yun hosted a banquet for Dong Zhuo, who returned with a beautiful woman.

"Although the beauty trap is simple, it is very practical for Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu."

Xun You knew that the overall situation in Chang'an City had been decided.

Soon, a group of people left Chang'an City and headed towards Luoyang.

"Wang Yun's beauty trap has succeeded. Dong Zhuo will be killed soon, and we need to take action here too."

Qin Shou looked at the information in his hand with joy on his face.

The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived.

"The garrisons of Mianchi and Hongnong are standing in front of my lord now." Jia Xu said quietly.

"I will go there in person. If I don't obey orders, don't blame me for killing people."

Qin Shou's eyes flashed with light, and there was a hint of murderous intent.

Now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and he would kill anyone who stood in his way.

"Luoyang, please leave it to you two."

Qin Shou stood up, and outside the hall, Dian Wei walked in holding armor in hand.

"Farewell, my lord."

Jia Xu and Zhong Yao also showed excitement. Qin Shou finally took the most important step in fighting for world hegemony.

Mianchi was just a small city, but when Xu Rong appeared here with ten thousand soldiers and horses, it meant that Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on this place.

Xu Rong's military discipline is still very good. Although these Xiliang soldiers in Mianchi cannot be said to have committed no crimes in Qiu, they are much better than Guanzhong. In Xu Rong's spare time, he also led his troops to exterminate local bandits.

"General, the governor's army is approaching. They are already forty miles outside the city."

The soldiers rushed over and reported loudly.

"The governor is here?" Xu Rong frowned immediately after hearing this.

He and Qin Shou rarely met. They had teamed up to ambush Cao Cao. Dong Zhuo appointed Qin Shou as the commander-in-chief, commanding the troops in Luoyang, Mianchi, and Hongnong, and became Xu Rong's nominal boss.

Although Xu Rong was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything, and Qin Shou, his nominal superior, didn't cause trouble for him, and didn't even give him an order. It was as if he had forgotten who he was, which made him feel a lot better.

At the very least, Qin Shou, a young man, was very sensible. He knew his status and did not cause trouble for him. So everyone has always been in peace.

I just didn't expect that Qin Shou would come to Mianchi at this time.

"Have you brought any troops?" the deputy general beside him asked quickly.

"Five thousand cavalry."

The sentry said quickly.

Xu Rong and his lieutenants suddenly took a breath of air. Five thousand cavalry can do many things, and even once a surprise attack is launched, they can easily defeat Xu Rong's 10,000 troops.

"General, what should we do now?" the deputy general asked impatiently.

"The governor is a superior officer. When he comes, we will naturally go to greet him. Let's go."

Xu Rong thought for a while and decided to go see Qin Shou.

He believed that Qin Shou would not do anything to him. Everyone was Dong Zhuo's people, and Qin Shou's reputation in the Xiliang army was still very good.

"Yes." The deputy general would not hesitate and quickly led the lieutenant general out of Mianchi to welcome Qin Shou's arrival.

Xu Rong was also fully clothed and left Mianchi City, waiting for Qin Shou's arrival.

Soon, the earth was shaking, and countless cavalry were galloping from the horizon. The darkness was overwhelming, giving people great pressure. I saw groups of cavalry appearing in front of everyone. Xu Rong found that compared with the cavalry under his command, the men and horses in front of him were more fierce and full of evil spirits. However, these evil spirits were condensed together to form a force.

The source of this momentum is the young man in front. He has two swords hanging on his waist and is wearing black armor. He looks like a wild beast, which makes people dare not look directly at him.

Everyone thought Lu Bu was very brave, but Xu Rong knew that the real strength was the young man in front of him.

"The last general Xu Rong has met the governor."

Xu Rong said with cupped hands.

"Meet the Governor."

The generals behind him shouted loudly.

"General Xu, generals, there is no need to be polite, go to the military camp!"

Qin Shou nodded. Xu Rong's face was full of weather. He was tall and powerful. He knew he was from the north, but he didn't know who he was loyal to.

"Captain, please."

Xu Rong didn't know what Qin Shou came to see him for, but at this time, he could only suppress the hesitation in his heart and lead Qin Shou into the camp.

Soon, his heart was lifted. Five thousand knights had begun to guard the big tent. In front of the big tent, stood a tall and ugly man.

Seeing the ferocious appearance of the other party, Xu Rong felt something bad in his heart.

"General Xu was ordered by the Prime Minister to guard Xingyang. I wonder if he is willing to lead his troops and continue to guard Xingyang this time?" Qin Shou looked at Xu Rong in the tent and said with a smile.

Xu Rong was a talented general, and he was also good at training troops. This can be seen from the 10,000 garrison in Mianchi. Qin Shou had very few generals, and only one could be left.

If possible, Qin Shou would not kill anyone.

Xu Rong felt cold in his heart after hearing this. He was silent for a while and then asked, "Is this an order from the Grand Master?"

In fact, when Qin Shou called Dong Zhuo prime minister, he knew that the visitor was evil, but he still asked.

"Prime Minister? At this time, I'm afraid he has been killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu."

Qin Shou said quietly.

"Ah, it's impossible." Xu Rong's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The generals under his command also had a look of horror on their faces after hearing this. In the big tent, everyone suddenly started talking and looked at Qin Shou with strange eyes.

"Is the governor here to kill me and others?" Xu Rong finally asked.

"The general is joking. I am also a general under the Prime Minister, and Wang Yun also killed me. Why should I kill you all?" Qin Shou said with a chuckle.

"The general is leading us to avenge the Prime Minister?" A school captain suddenly said.

"The general joked again. Although the Prime Minister is kind to you and me, to the court, his crimes are extremely heinous. To the people of the world, his crimes are too numerous to describe. Although Qin is grateful for the Prime Minister's kindness, he does not dare to do it for personal reasons. Waste the public."

Qin Shou said calmly.

He is not like Li Jue, Guo Si and others who are bent on avenging Dong Zhuo. He has no such intention.

"The general is coming?" Xu Rong's face suddenly became ugly after hearing this.

Not to mention whether Dong Zhuo is alive or dead, if he is dead, you don't even have the thought of avenging Dong Zhuo. You came to Mianchi just to annex your troops. How can Xu Rong be happy?

"Since you are my subordinate, I have to consider your safety. I will lead three thousand troops and head to Xingyang for the time being. When the storm is over, I will pass on my orders to you."

"Xu Rong, do you accept it or resist?"

Qin Shou placed his right hand on the Hanguang sword and looked at Xu Rong quietly.
