People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 235 Against Hu Zhen, Xu Rong

There is only one Duling between Chang'an and Lantian, and the army arrived in half a day.

Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, while arranging camp, personally scouted the enemy's situation, trenches, repelling horses, and fortified layers. When they saw these fortifications, they knew that this was a tough battle.

Of course when the imperial army arrived, Li Yao must have something to say, he immediately sent envoys to send a letter to each of these two people.

The two agreed to meet before the battle tomorrow, Hu Zhen agreed without hesitation, and Xu Rong also agreed after a moment of hesitation.

That night, Li Yao's Chinese military tent!

Li Yao received the reply, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, both agreed to meet tomorrow, then Li Yao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile:

"Sir, in your opinion, will the two generals surrender and join me in attacking Chang'an?"

Li Ru was a little lazy, but when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly:

"After the grand master's death, they can no longer be trusted. Hu Zhen will only be loyal to herself. If you can prove that the counterattack to Chang'an is possible, this person will surrender. As for Xu Rong, a military genius and a political fool, perhaps he can only be awakened by standing on the moral high ground and beating him with righteousness."

When Li Yao heard this, he confirmed with his own understanding, and found that it was indeed the case, then he exclaimed and said:
"With Mr. You's words, I will know what to say when I see the two of them tomorrow, but I need to go with my lady!"

When Dong Bai heard this, he directly agreed without hesitation:
"I'm willing to go. They are also from the old department of the eldest father. They are ungrateful, greedy for life and afraid of death. They are completely inferior to Zhongfu. I am going to question them!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ru's face changed slightly, but after a while, it finally returned to normal. Now Dong Zhuo is dead, and even the whole clan has been exterminated.

The past is over, now only Li Yao can protect Dong Bai.

The next day, the sun rose as usual, the sky was blue and white, and the breeze was gentle. It was a good day.

The two armies lined up one after another. Li Yao relied on the defensive fortifications and placed the infantry in the middle. The infantry in the front row wore armor and helmets, and carried guns and shields.

After arranging everything, Li Yao took Dong Bai with him and went to the middle of the two armies, surrounded by more than 20 soldiers, who were their guards this time without any weapons.

At this time, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong also came as scheduled. After Li Yao sent someone to check, it was confirmed that they were not carrying any weapons, so they were actually released.

As soon as the two parties met, they first looked at Dong Bai. Dong Bai glared at them naturally. Being looked at like this, the two felt guilty and their momentum was weak, and they had already fallen into a disadvantage.

If the Dong family were all dead, they wouldn't be like this, but the Dong family still has such a bloodline. According to the dual monarchy system of the Han Dynasty, they, as Dong Zhuo's old department, should be loyal to Dong Bai.

At this time, Li Yao was riding on the horse, looked at the two of them and cupped his hands and said:
"Two generals, this meeting is not about reminiscing about the old days, so I will just say it directly. Both generals are the former subordinates of the grand master. Now that the grand master has been murdered and the whole family has been punished, we should raise our troops for revenge instead of bowing our knees. I hope the two generals can turn their backs to the light. General Hu Zhen and General Xu Rong, think about it!"

Xu Rong kept silent, he was very conflicted, although he was loyal to Dong Zhuo, he was also loyal to the court, now he was caught in the middle, unable to make a choice at all.

As for Hu Zhen, she said angrily:
"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Now you are rebelling, and we are here to suppress the rebellion. Who is the dark and who is the light!"

Li Yao said confidently:

"We are not rebelling. We are King Qin. If we win, we will be King Qin. If we lose, we will rebel. We want to get rid of the powerful ministers around us for His Majesty. The powerful ministers are Wang Yun, Lu Bu..."

Having said this, Li Yao's voice became even colder:

"It was they who murdered the Grand Master, how could the two generals really be indifferent!"

It's time for Dong Bai to appear on stage, she scolded the two of them sharply:

"The two generals were promoted by the father. Now they are ungrateful, so greedy for life and afraid of death, it is really chilling. I hate you!"

And this is called standing on the moral high ground and beating with righteousness. Looking at Dong Bai, Hu Zhen, and Xu Rong who were dressed in filial piety and angry, they all bowed their heads in shame and could not refute them.

Even Li Yao pressed on step by step, looked at them and said in a deep voice:

"General Hu Zhen, since I dare to raise troops to serve the king, I have already made full preparations. The treacherous officials in the court will disband the Xiliang army and arrest the generals of Xiliang. I have contacted the other generals, and they will bring troops here soon..."

"General Xu Rong, we are here for the court, for His Majesty, Wang Yun, Lu Bu, kidnapping the emperor, murdering loyal ministers, such treacherous ministers who harm the country, we get rid of them, report the state's favor, and report the grand master's favor, why not..."

After finishing speaking, Li Yao paused for a moment, stretched out his hand to wipe his neck, and said with a half-smile on his face:

"Also, even if I go back with my head, then Wang Yun and Lu Bu will let you go, kill you, and gather your troops. This is the most likely situation!"

The faces of the two changed drastically when they heard the words, and the more they thought about it, the more they realized that there was such a possibility. Now, of the two of them, one was in shock and the other was devastated. It was obvious that they had been beaten very seriously.

At this time, Li Yao took a step back, tightening and then loosening, first tightening and then loosening, he has completely controlled the situation:
"Two generals, after you go back, you can seriously think about it again. If we kill each other, Wang Yun and Lu Bu will definitely laugh so hard..."

Then Li Yao looked around, looked at the open space in front of the two armies and said:

"Later, I will send people to set up targets on the left and right. Both sides will send out a hundred cavalry each, and they will compete with each other with cavalry and shooting..."

Then Li Yao waved his hand:

"Of course, if you don't dare, forget it!"

What I said, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, their hearts are full of anger. Hu Zhen is from Liangzhou, and Xu Rong is from Liaodong. Most of them have cavalry under their command, and they are proficient in riding and shooting.

Shuangshuang agreed, and then turned to leave. They really need to think about it now. Not everyone has the courage to betray the court and rebel.

Li Yao dared to stand up, confront the imperial court, and avenge Dong Zhuo. Only then could Dong Bai hold back his shame and willingly call him Zhongfu.

After Hu Zhen and Xu Rong went back, Li Yao and Dong Bai also turned and left.

Then Li Yao arranged manpower, set up a lot of targets in the open space in front of the formation of the two armies, selected a hundred cavalry, and competed with each other.

This kind of competition is exciting, and it is in front of the two armies. There are so many people on both sides watching, and the cavalrymen on the field are holding their breath.

All kinds of shouts, all kinds of applause...

Competing on horseback and archery every day, the time passed day by day.

Li Yao had already initiated an army and held righteousness in his hands. It would be good to procrastinate like this. When everyone is ready, it is time to counterattack Chang'an and kill Wang Yun and Lu Bu!
