The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 70
Xu Rong looked gloomy after hearing this and looked at Qin Shou coldly.

"General wants to kill me?"

"No, General Xu is a general. I will not kill you. But since the prime minister asked me to be the governor, he still has the power to mobilize troops. General, go to Xingyang! Guard Xingyang."

Qin Shou shook his head and said.

He has relatively few generals, and Xu Rong is a rare general who must be put to use.

"General, aren't you afraid that I will surrender to the enemy?" Xu Rong asked in surprise.

"Surrender to the enemy? Who to surrender to? In the eyes of the world, the prime minister's crimes are extremely heinous. Neither the court nor the nobles of Guandong will allow these people to exist. You can't surrender to anyone. You can only watch each other with me. To survive in troubled times .”

Qin Shou shook his head.

Xu Rong was so naive that he actually thought there were people in the world who would take him in.

Xu Rong's expression changed after hearing this. He was thinking about Qin Shou's words and imagined carefully that except for his fellow villager Gongsun Du, there really was no one to join him.

But did he really defect to Gongsundu?
He once recommended Gongsun Du to Dong Zhuo as the governor of Liaodong, but at this time, he felt very awkward in letting himself go to Liaodong and submit to Gongsun Du's command.

"I will obey my orders."

Thinking of this, Xu Rong instantly decided to accept Qin Shou's dispatch and go to Xingyang to garrison.

"Very good. General, please lead your troops there." Qin Shou said immediately.

Xu Rong clenched his fists. His own troops only had 3,000 troops. It would be very dangerous for him to lead 3,000 troops to Xingyang.

"It's not that I'm embarrassing the general, it's just that I have limited troops and horses. I have to enter the pass to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si, so I can only give the general three thousand. When I conquer the pass, I will return these soldiers and horses to the general." Qin Shou He explained immediately upon seeing this.

"You will finally understand."

Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, as long as the other party explains it, I will feel much better. At least the other party didn't mean it.

"General, Prime Minister?" Xu Rong was a little unsure.

"Wang Yun used a beauty trick to drive a wedge between the prime minister and Lu Bu, and then falsely conveyed an imperial edict and asked the prime minister to go to the palace to accept the emperor's abdication. The prime minister actually went, so he died at the hands of Lu Bu in the end." Qin Shou explained.

Xu Rong suddenly turned into a sigh after hearing this.

He did not doubt Qin Shou's words. This kind of thing could not be deceived. You can't fake it either.

Moreover, now that Qin Shou has military power and he has accepted his fate, there is no need for the other party to deceive him on this matter.

"The general understands."

Xu Rong turned around and left, leading 3,000 troops and horses towards Xingyang. He knew what he meant after leaving Mianchi, but there was nothing he could do about it.

If he doesn't leave, he will be killed by the other party.

He had just noticed a hint of murderous intent in Qin Shou's eyes. This was a decisive leader, and no one could stop him.

"Send the order, and the whole army will break out of the camp and set off for Hongnong."

Qin Shou's cold voice came from behind.

Xu Rong knew that in the entire Sizhou, besides his own 10,000 horses, there were also Zhang Ji's 10,000 cavalry. If these people are placed in Sizhou, Qin Shou may not even be able to sleep peacefully. The best way is to deal with Zhang Ji and capture Hongnong, but Zhang Ji will not have such a good speech as himself. The possibility of Qin Shou easily obtaining military power is relatively small.

I just don’t know what kind of big thing will happen when the time comes.

Not long after Xu Rong left Mianchi, he received news from Mr. Tu that Dong Zhuo had indeed been killed by Lu Bu, and now it was Wang Yun who made the decision in the court.

I don’t know what this guy was thinking, but he didn’t issue an edict to pardon Dong Zhuo’s generals. Could it be that because Lu Bu was here, he could do whatever he wanted?

Hongnong City, this is the territory of the Yang family, and it is also the most important passage from Luoyang to Guanzhong.

However, the two people who now call the shots in Hongnong City are Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew.

Today is also a day of great joy for Zhang Ji. He has taken a fancy to a beautiful woman in Hongnong and plans to take her into his house today and make her his concubine.

But the news from Chang'an City made him feel uneasy, and now he didn't even enter the bridal chamber.

"Xiu'er, the grand master was killed by Lu Bu and Wang Yun." Zhang Ji called his nephew Zhang Xiu in and told him the information he had obtained.

"Lu Bu, this servant with the third surname will kill him sooner or later."

Zhang Xiu had been with Zhang Ji since he was a child and was one of Dong Zhuo's fierce generals. Zhang Ji was also loyal to Dong Zhuo. Now that Dong Zhuo was killed, both of them felt very sad.

"Wang Yun, the traitor, is not prepared to pardon us." Zhang Ji was actually very frightened in his heart. After all, he was not Dong Zhuo and he did not have the courage to take the court into consideration.

"Uncle, are we going to be captured just like this?" Zhang Xiu felt unwilling.

"Li Jue and Guo Si invited me to raise troops to attack Chang'an City to avenge the prime minister. Do you think we should go?" Zhang Ji asked.

Zhang Xiu's face tightened after hearing this. Attacking Chang'an was an attack on the imperial court. This was a treasonous act. The uncle and nephew of the Zhang family have never had sex before.

"Uncle, since Wang Yun doesn't want us to live, then we don't want to let him live either. We will attack Chang'an." Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Let the court give us an explanation."

"So what can they do if they have Lu Bu? Lu Bu is also Qin Shou. In a wheel battle, we will definitely be able to defeat each other."

If you don't attack, your life will not be saved. Only by attacking can you control your life.

"Where is General Xiaoqi?" After hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Zhang Ji immediately thought of one person. His superior officer was Qin Shou. If he rushed to send troops there at this time, Qin Shou might also cause trouble for him afterwards.

"Uncle, how can you care so much at this time? Qin Shou is also a subordinate of the Grand Master, and Wang Yun will not spare him. If he wants to survive, he can only resist the imperial court and join us in fighting towards Chang'an City." Zhang Xiu's eyes sparkled.

"We are also going to Chang'an. It's one thing to be with me, but it's another thing to be with Qin Shou." Zhang Ji suddenly said quietly.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Ji meant.

Now I am still nominally Qin Shou's subordinate. I followed Qin Shou to Chang'an City. The great contribution belongs to Qin Shou, but I went alone, so the credit belongs to myself.

"Then we have to leave here quickly." Zhang Xiu suddenly said: "Uncle, I suspect that Qin Shou is coming to Mianchi soon to recruit our troops."

Zhang Ji jumped up immediately after hearing this. The soldiers and horses in his hands were his lifeblood, how could they be taken away by others.

"To raise troops overnight to attack Chang'an, we must not give Qin Shou any excuse." Zhang Ji said loudly.

He had forgotten that there was a beautiful woman waiting for him in his house!
"Where's the aunt?" Zhang Xiu was a little worried.

"Stay here first, keep some troops, I believe Qin Shou will not hurt her. After all, we are on the same team." Zhang Ji said without hesitation.
