Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C439

What he did not expect was that this time, after ordering Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to attack Sun Jian, after half a month of intense battle, he actually defeated Sun Jian’s main force in one go, and caused Sun Jian to be utterly defeated. Especially the fact that Hu Zhen had attacked Sun Jian’s camp, it had greatly increased his Xiliang General’s prestige, bringing about light to Dong Zhuo’s face.

Li Ru took the paper from Dong Zhuo’s hand, and quickly glanced at it, frowning slightly. From the two good reports, he quickly found out where Guan Jian was. If not for Xu Rong who rushed over in time and defeated the sneak attack on Sun Jian, who knows if he would still be alive.

However, Xu Rong did not take credit for the victory, he only claimed that he had intercepted Sun Jian’s sneak attack, and ensured that Hu Zhen’s attack was direct, and gave his credit to Hu Zhen. As for whether he had planned in advance or had done it by chance, Xu Rong did not state it explicitly.

On the other hand, in the victory report, Hu Zhen gave a special account of his half a month of tough and bloody battles. How he deployed his troops and took the lead, under his lead, he took over Sun Jian’s camp, and annihilated Sun Jian’s main forces. Of course, he did not forget Xu Rong, he only said that Xu Rong had led his army to defeat Sun Jian’s team who were trying to escape.

“Congratulations Prime Minister.” Li Ru cupped his hands towards Dong Zhuo, and said with a smile. In front of Dong Zhuo, he did not want to expose Hu Zhen’s secret either. Furthermore, as a person of the West Cold, he did not want to blame all of the credit to Xu Rong. I never thought that Hu Zhen was really a genius general, to actually be able to defeat Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiang Dong Tiger. ”

“was not the only one who contributed to defeating Sun Jian this time, not only did Xu Rong have a good command, Guan Jian had also repelled Sun Jian’s sneak attack at that moment, ensuring that Hu Zhen was able to break through Sun Jian’s camp.” Dong Zhuo was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he saw through Hu Zhen’s trick with a single glance. As a formidable person, he naturally knew how to be a virtuous person, “As the victor of the ‘Rebirth Water’, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen should receive rewards for their great victory.”

Dong Zhuo stood up, walked a few steps on the ground, then turned his head and shouted: “Immediately send my orders, appoint Hu Zhen as the Southern Capital’s Great Governor, and continue to command the troops to attack Sun Jian’s broken tribe, and seize the Lu Yang. They appointed Xu Rong as the Eastern Capital Governor, and returned to the Ying Yang to prepare to attack. ”

“Prime Minister, after Sun Jian’s defeat this time, his troops were only defeated and did not hurt his bones. Most of his soldiers have already escaped back to Lu Yang. Just with Hu Zhen’s strength, I’m afraid he is not Sun Jian’s match. ” Of course, Li Ru knew Hu Zhen’s strength and abilities. He did not want Hu Zhen to lose to him, and he did not want the morale that he had painstakingly built up in the West Cold Army to disappear once again.

“Mm …” “You’re right.” Dong Zhuo nodded, his eyebrows knitted together. Right now, he urgently needed Hu Zhen to give him a long face, so he could only say: “Command Lv Bu to be the cavalry general, lead 10,000 cavalry and Hua Xiong to be the infantry general, lead 10,000 steps forward to the Liang County, and obey Hu Zhen’s orders.”

“Prime Minister, if you transfer Lv Bu and Hua Xiong away, then Luoyang would become extremely empty. Be careful, don’t take advantage of the situation and sneak in …” Li Ru had already suffered under Yang Lin at Hanoi County, he did not want to meet him again, so he hurriedly reminded Dong Zhuo.

“It’s okay, Yang Lin’s backyard is already on fire, white wave army is stirring up trouble, he is currently busy calming the white wave army, he himself is busy doing nothing, where would he have the time to meddle with Luoyang?” Dong Zhuo waved his hand, revealing the cold glare on his face, and said coldly: “Wait till we take care of Guandong Allied Army, then we will turn back and take care of Yang Lin.”

Under the request of the Eastern Capital Regional Commander Xu Rong, the Zhang Banxian came to welcome the passing cavalry army that was in charge of Lv Bu, and every step they took was in charge of Hua Xiong. The two of them were following Dong Zhuo’s orders and led a group of people to Liang County to reinforce Hu Zhen. Xu Rong did not have much of a relationship with them, he had only sent Zhang Banxian to fawn on them.

“Zhang Ling greets the two Lord Du Du Du s.” Lv Bu and Hua Xiong did not know who Zhang Banxian was, so the only thing they could do was to introduce themselves. I am here to receive the two Lord Du Du Du, under the orders of the Eastern Capital’s Regional Commander. If there is anything you wish me to do, I will do so. ”

When Lv Bu saw the Zhang Banxian, he could not help but be secretly shocked. Wasn’t the one who represented the hussar general to ask for at that time? How did he become Xu Rong’s occupation? However, Lv Bu calmed down very quickly. It was not his own fault, so he was too lazy to worry about it.

“Forget it, we have been ordered to reinforce the Liang County, so we won’t disturb the Pingdong Capital.” Lv Bu waved his hand and said indifferently. Ever since he pledged his allegiance to Dong Zhuo, although Lv Bu had a lot of trust in him, he was pushed aside by the Xiliang General. As a result, Lv Bu was not willing to interact with other generals.

“Tell your master that we are in a hurry today, so we won’t disturb him. But when we return in triumph, tell him to prepare a feast for us. ” Even though Hua Xiong was a Xiliang General, he didn’t have much foresight, and he rarely participated in battles over leniency. As a result, he didn’t have any prejudice against Xu Rong.

“I have long heard of the heroic names of the two lieutenants. If we go to Liang County, we will definitely win, building the achievements of an immortal! ” Zhang Banxian immediately praised Lv Bu as she cupped her hands and said smilingly to him.

But when he raised his head, preparing to clasp his hands at Hua Xiong, his expression suddenly changed, and at that moment, his eyes revealed a terrified look, and his voice trembled: “We are going to Liang County, which is a long distance, both Lord Du Du Du s take care.”

Lv Bu did not see the sudden change in Zhang Banxian’s expression, she waved to the janissaries beside him and galloped forward. Although Hua Xiong could see everything clearly, he did not understand why Xu Rong would suddenly panic, and could only bring his personal guards and leave.

But after walking not too far, the more Hua Xiong thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. scribe who was just laughing and talking, how did he suddenly become nervous? Although Hua Xiong was a martial arts man, he was also very superstitious. He quickly reined his horse, thought for a while, then galloped back.

“Mr. Zhang Ling, why did your face suddenly change?” Hua Xiong caught up with Zhang Banxian who was about to leave and galloped to stop him. He was not in the mood to play around with Zhang Banxian, so he cupped his hands towards him and asked roughly.

“This …” The Zhang Banxian pulled the horse reins and looked at Hua Xiong, pretending to want to say something. He was an experienced fortune-telling expert, she knew how to keep Hua Xiong in suspense. “Lord Du Du Du has misunderstood me, I have no intentions.”

“Mr. Zhang Ling, if you have anything to say, please say it. I am so worried about you stuttering like this!” Hua Xiong was an impatient one, how could he endure Zhang Banxian? He suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Zhang Banxian’s horse reins, afraid that Zhang Banxian would run away.

“Lord Du Du Du, to tell you the truth, this one will be a fortune-teller.” Seeing that Hua Xiong was getting anxious, the Zhang Banxian pretended to look at him and said solemnly: “I see that the Lord Du Du Du is in darkness. I am afraid that there will be a bloodbath in the Lord Du Du Du soon.”

Ever since she received Yang Lin’s order to recruit Hua Xiong, Zhang Banxian had been thinking of a way to contact Hua Xiong, but unfortunately, he never got the chance. It wasn’t easy to meet him today, but they didn’t have the time to chat with him, so they could only use his good skills to scare Hua Xiong.

“Ah …” Hua Xiong was startled, and his face changed color. Originally, when Dong Zhuo sent him to be Hu Zhen’s assistant, he was a little uncomfortable. He had not read much, so he believed what the fortune-teller said completely.

Zhang Banxian blinked her eyes, and chanted for a long time. I think Hua Xiong is already impatient, and then she lightly said: “Lord Du Du Du’s luck is bad, go to Liang County and don’t try to be brave and fight fiercely, only then can you save your life. However, if we really want to break this bad luck, I’m afraid that you will have to save me. ”

“Oh …” May I ask sir, where is my esteemed person? ” Hua Xiong respectfully bowed towards the Zhang Banxian and asked impatiently. The way the Zhang Banxian was pretending to be mysterious had already deeply intimidated Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong’s face was filled with sincerity, asking for help while looking at Zhang Banxian.

Zhang Banxian closed his eyes again, and faked as she counted her fingers. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and looked around. Seeing that Hua Xiong’s personal guards were far away, she said softly: “Lord Du Du Du, your benefactor is in the north.”

Hua Xiong nodded, as if he understood something. He couldn’t help but look towards the north, but he didn’t see anything. The Zhang Banxian laughed, and without waiting for Hua Xiong to understand what was happening, he cupped his hands towards Hua Xiong and rode away, leaving Hua Xiong in a daze in the cold wind.

Hu Zhen’s camp was established at Guangcheng City, which was not far from Liang County’s county. This was a small town. Due to Hu Zhen’s underlings wantonly burning and looting everything, all the commoners nearby had long run off, and in a radius of dozens of miles, there were only Hu Zhen’s soldiers.

The arrival of Lv Bu and Hua Xiong caused the Hu Zhen Barracks to become even more lively. However, because Lv Bu’s subordinates were all Zhanzhou cavalry, and Hua Xiong’s subordinates were all the original northern troop’s soldiers, and Hu Zhen’s subordinates were all Xiliang soldier, it did not seem like they were close to each other.

“Lord Du Du Du, come with me to see the Pinnan Capital’s Governor.” Sima Jun who was in charge of receiving Lv Bu and Hua Xiong was the leader of the group. After he arranged a place for Lv Bu and his subordinates, he was about to lead Lv Bu and Hua Xiong to meet Hu Zhen.

Following the rules, Dong Zhuo sent Lv Bu and Hua Xiong to help him. Following Hu Zhen’s orders, Hu Zhen was Lv Bu’s and Hua Xiong’s superior. After they came, they immediately went to pay their respects to Hu Zhen using the etiquette of a subordinate, and followed Hu Zhen’s orders.

Although Lv Bu was unwilling, but in front of someone else, he had no choice but to lower his head. He immediately called over Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the other high-ranking officers, and went with them to Hu Zhen’s Big Account s, as they paid their respects to the Southern Capital’s Regional Commander Hu Zhen.

In the middle of the Big Account s of the West Cold Army, Hu Zhen was seated at the head of the Big Account and all of his subordinates were seated on the two sides. Everyone chatted and laughed, some were congratulating Hu Zhen on getting promoted, and some were bragging about Hu Zhen’s achievements, whereas Hu Zhen was chuckling, his eyebrows filled with excitement and pride.

“Greetings, Lieutenant General.” According to the rules of this era, when a subordinate wanted to see their superior, they had to do so in a kowtow ceremony. But when Lv Bu walked into Hu Zhen’s Big Account, he only cupped his fists and cupped his hands towards Hu Zhen, and said loudly: “As I am wearing the armor, I cannot give you a full gift, so please forgive me.”

Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu who were behind Lv Bu, were constantly pushed aside since they pledged their allegiance to the West Cold Army, and were already angry in their hearts, but seeing that Lv Bu did not kneel down, they followed suit and cupped their fists towards Hu Zhen, “Overlord.”

Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen were originally generals of the same level, but because Hu Zhen mentioned the Governor, he became Hu Zhen’s subordinate, and he felt a little awkward. Seeing that Lv Bu and the others did not kneel down, he followed suit and led his subordinate to bow towards Hu Zhen, “Greetings Governor.”
