Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 249 Meeting Xu Rong again
  The next day.

The rain still hasn't stopped, and it keeps falling.

Huailai small town, county government office.

Zhang Wu watched the rain and sighed, it was really God's fault.

If this rain fell in Bingzhou, Zhang Wu would laugh out of his dreams.

Since the beginning of summer, there has been only one rain in Bingzhou. At this time, water conservancy has not yet developed, and farmers rely entirely on the weather for farming. If there is no rain, it is almost certain that it will be a year of severe drought.

If this continues, it is almost a foregone conclusion that there will be no harvest in all parts of Bingzhou.

On the contrary, in Shanggu County of Youzhou, which is only a hundred miles away from Bingzhou, the heavy rain seems to be coming.

Although the heavy rain temporarily suppressed the hot weather, it also blocked Zhang Wu's march.

It is true that drought will lead to death, and waterlogging will lead to death.

"Brother, the soldiers caught a spy. Do you want to take a look?"

Ma Chao came from outside the hall. After entering the hall, he patted the rainwater on his armor and leaned the tiger head gun against the weapon rack.

In such weather, there was no need for him, the scout captain, to go out on patrol. There would be no enemy situation around.

"Elaborate work?"

Zhang Wu smacked his tongue, Wen Chou treated the lands west of Juyong Pass with a completely resigned attitude.

If he could be more careful, he would not just give Jiang Qi two thousand soldiers and horses. Jiang Qi is in the west, and it is indeed of no great use to stop Gongsun Zan.

But it can be relied upon as a Western barrier to block the enemies behind it.

If it were like that, Zhang Wu wouldn't be able to win so easily.

Now Ma Chao came to tell Zhang Wu that Wen Chou, who was indifferent to the surrounding areas of Shanggu County, had the leisure to arrange elaborate works in the small Huailai County.

This is not a joke!
  "Where's the fine work? Bring it here and let me see it."

It doesn't take a while.

Under the escort of two Flying Bear Guards, one person struggled to walk into the hall.

He is eight feet long, has a white face, a short beard, and wears a thin linen garment.

The rain wet his clothes and hair, making him look a little embarrassed.

When Zhang Wu saw the visitor, he was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Not only did he recognize this person, he had even dealt with him before—Xuan Tu Xu Rong!
  A man of low martial arts and high command, he was one of the few unparalleled commanders Zhang Wu had ever seen in this time and space.

The first time I saw Xu Rong was on the way to pursue Dong Zhuo in Bianshui, Xingyang.

At that time, Xu Rong's ambush was discovered by Zhang Wu. Dian Wei had just surrendered to Cao Cao and showed his power for the first time. He was stunned to break the square formation set up by Xu Rong by himself.

After the defeat, Xu Rong went north.

Zhang Wu had sent people to search for him before, but after many times with no results, he had to give up. At that time, he thought Xu Rong had died in the rebellion, but he never expected that after two years, he would still be in this quiet place. Encountered by chance in a small town in the state.

It's really a wonderful fate.

system.

Name: Xu Rong

Force: 79
  Commander: 96
  Resourcefulness: 84
  Politics: 77
  Skills: 1. Soldier Formation: Commander +2 when arranging troops to face the enemy.

2. Ambush: Intelligence +3 when setting up an ambush.

Sure enough, Xu Rong was still the same Xu Rong, with mediocre military power, but in the late Han Dynasty, when people in their eighties could be called famous generals, his commanding value of 96 was still so pleasing to the eye no matter how much he looked at it.

"General Xu, you're fine. Do you still remember me, Chen Liu, Zhang Ziqian?" When things came to an end, Xu Rong calmed down, broke away, and raised his hands to Zhang Wugong.

"After many years of separation, the champion's style remains the same."

Zhang Wu chuckled.

Xu Rong's remarks are inevitably suspected of flattery.

The two glanced at each other briefly, but there was no record of fighting. At that time, Zhang Wu was just an intruder under Cao Cao's command, specializing in fighting generals to show off their power. He was completely incompatible with Xu Rong, the general who unified the army.

Where does the style still come from?

But thinking about it, how could a Zhongzheng and upright general serve as a general under Dong Zhuo?

Now that Xu Rong is complimenting him, there is nothing surprising.

"Tell me what's going on."

Xu Rong sighed and said slowly.

It turned out that after Xu Rong's defeat, he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would be angry and accuse him, so he simply deserted.

You know, the generals of the Xiliang faction were rewarded as high as the sky for winning battles. Likewise, the punishment for losing a battle is severe.

Not to mention blocking Dong Zhuo's pursuers.

Not only did Xu Rong fail to complete what Dong Zhuo told him, but later he even heard that Zhang Wu had stabbed Dong Zhuo in the face with a shot. He was so frightened that he dared not go to see Dong Zhuo.

He simply fled to his hometown in Youzhou to take refuge.

After Dong Zhuo was defeated and died, many of his old generals were guilty, and the number of those who were executed was unknown.

Xu Rong gritted his teeth and simply went into seclusion, thinking that he would wait until the situation calmed down before going out to find Master Yiming for assistance.

But he didn't expect that two years later, he would actually see Zhang Wu's army in Huailai.

He was afraid that Zhang Wu would settle old scores with him, so he wanted to go out of the city. Since many people in the Flying Bear Army knew him, he was inevitably a bit secretive and sneaky. On the contrary, his behavior was very suspicious and was regarded as a trick. Bring it over.

After listening to Xu Rong's description, Zhang Wu felt dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, it was only because of such a ridiculous reason that the general stayed in the small town for so long.

"Then what are the general's plans now? Are you going to let me take care of you as Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, or are you going to be reincarnated and serve under me." Zhang Wu asked with a smile.

Xu Rong had no intention of going into seclusion in the first place. All he had learned was on the battlefield. It was just fate that made him work as a woodcutter for a few years. Now that Zhang Wu was recruiting him, there was no reason to refuse. He immediately fell to Zhang Wu. before.

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses for the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty."

Zhang Wu was also unambiguous. After helping Xu Rong, he directly appointed him as General Yingyang, and by the way, all the more than 1,700 newly surrendered Jizhou soldiers were placed under his command.

Xu Rong is a talent.

A truly unparalleled commander cannot be found anywhere.

But for such a person with low martial arts and high authority, the surrounding configuration must be high.

There must be unparalleled generals under the tent to listen, otherwise what happened by the Bianshui River in Xingyang will happen again and again.

After all, there are too many strong generals in this era.

Fortunately, the Cao camp we are fighting now is a real fierce general like Ruyun.

So far, most of the lieutenants in the direct troops are unparalleled generals. Isn't it easy to just assign two people to serve under him?
  Being able to recruit a general in this nook and corner, where no bird poops, Zhang Wu's mood suddenly became beautiful.

Even the unpleasantness caused by the rainy weather disappeared in an instant.
