Chapter 512 Xu Rong Anyway
"Captain Hu, such a condition is you, can you accept it?"

Li Jue heard that Hu Zhen came to persuade him to surrender, and under the instruction of Li Ru, he treated Hu Zhen graciously. After hearing the conditions brought by Hu Zhen, Li Jue couldn't help being furious.

Hu Zhen shook his head. In fact, he knew that Wang Yun was here to delay time, but he came for his own purpose. Hu Zhen looked at Li Jue and said, "Mr. Wen You is in the army?"

"Wen Cai, if you can think of XX, the Lord's spirit in heaven will also be comforted."

Li Ru suddenly lifted the tent and entered, accompanied by Li's general, Zhang Xiu and other Xiliang generals who were full of anger.

Hu Zhen saw Li Ru get up quickly: "Sir, are you all right?"

"Naturally all right."

Li Ru was most concerned about the situation in Chang'an City.

Hu Zhen then told Wang Yun that Cai Yong was imprisoned, that Guanxi gentry Sun Rui and Ma Rixun resigned from office, that Huangfu Song said that he would not recover from his illness, and that Xiliang's soldiers were unstable.

Li Ru heard the words and said to Li Jue's generals: "Don't look at Wang Yun and others who deal with the lord in a monolithic manner. Once the lord dies, their alliance will immediately fall apart. However, this just gives us a chance to directly enter Chang'an at this time. The lord's revenge."

"Into Chang'an, to avenge the lord."

All the generals of Li Jue shouted in unison.

The negotiation conditions brought by Hu Zhen not only did not delay the time as Wang Yun thought, but also boosted the morale of Li Jue's generals, and quickly marched towards Wannian County.

Hu Zhen rushed back to Chang'an with Li Ru's handwritten letter, preparing to join forces with the restless soldiers from Xiliang to cooperate with Li Jue and others.

However, just after Hu Zhen arrived in Xinfeng, Li Su encountered Li Su's army, and Li Su took Hu Zhen under arrest: "Situ Gong has an order: Please brother Wen Cai help me resist the offensive of the rebels in Xinfeng, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."

Hu Zhen was originally an old man who started from Dong Zhuo, and even Dong Min sold him some face. Li Su was an outsider who joined the Xiliang Army halfway. He usually called Hu Zhen "Wen Cai Gong" and "Hu Gong" when he saw Hu Zhen. Now But he licked his face and called Hu Zhen Wencai brother.

Hu Zhen looked disdainful, but he murmured in his heart: So he was deceived by Wang Yun, now not only could he not return to Chang'an, nor could he complete Li Ru's mission, but he successfully held back Li Jue's army for Wang Yun for a few days.

Hu Zhen was very anxious, and wanted to send someone to inform Li Ru, but Li Su used ordinary soldiers but did things very carefully. As Hu Zhen is a veteran of Xiliang, Li Su naturally guarded against him colluding with Li Jue and others.

Originally, Li Su went to Xinfeng to prevent Li Jue and others from attacking from the direction of Zheng County. Later, Li Su and others ignored Niu Fu's remnants and came directly from the direction of Wannian. The next target must be Gaoling.

Li Su abandoned Xinfeng and headed towards Gaoling. On the way, he happened to meet Li Jue's army who had just broken through Wannian. The two armies met tens of miles away from Gaoling.

When Li Ru was surrounded by Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals, Li Su knew that something was wrong.

Before he could make up his mind, Hu Zhen counterattacked him, and many soldiers from Xiliang counterattacked with Hu Zhen one after another, causing Li Su to be in chaos.

Li Ru took the opportunity to wave the command flag, and Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji went into battle in person, pressing on from the left and right wings and the middle.

Li Su suddenly fell into a situation where he was besieged on all sides. In addition, Li Su had many Xiliang troops under his command. Within half an hour, Li Su's army was defeated, and Li Su took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Li Jue took the opportunity to chase after him, and the cities of Gaoling and Yangling were destroyed without attack.

When Li Su fled back to Chang'an City, Li Jue had already crossed the Wei River.

It was too late for Wang Yun to regret it. He wanted to ask Huangfu Song to come out of the mountain, but he couldn't lose face. Finally, under the persuasion of his nephew Wang Ling, he drafted an imperial decree, asking Liu Bei to send troops to King Jingqin.

Of course, this was something Lu Bu didn't want to see. He finally held the military power in the court and was named Marquis Wen. Inviting Liu Bei to Beijing, does this still mean that he is not as good as Liu Bei?

However, how could Wang Situ, who is arbitrary and habitual, listen to Lu Bu's opinion, and ordered Wang Ling to leave Chang'an, but none of his sons left, showing his determination to stick to Chang'an.

Li Jue's advance can be described as extremely fast. The defenders of Changling and Weiqiao are all the old troops of the Xiliang Army. When they met Li Jue, they surrendered. The city of Chang'an was completely surrounded.

Wang Ling kept rushing toward the east of the river day and night, and when he saw Liu Bei with the imperial decree, there was news from Chang'an that Lü Bu went out of the city to fight Guo Bang, and he stabbed Guo Bang off his horse within thirty o'clock. The morale of Li Jue's army was weak, and he had to wait for the siege equipment to be built before sending troops. Facing Lu Bu's battle, he had to raise his exemption card.

The situation in Chang'an was already under Liu Bei's control, so he had already arrived in Hedong as early as early April, and his generals Dianwei, Pang De, Chen Dao, Wenpin, Zhang He, Xu Huang, etc. were all transferred to Hedong in various names .

Since Liu Bei came to Hedong, the Baibo Rebellion has come to an end, and the matter of Chen Zhen contacting Xu Rong has also made a breakthrough.

So Liu Bei personally led the army to the Dayang area. If Xu Rong didn't do anything anyway, Liu Bei had no choice but to defeat him reluctantly before taking over.

Yucheng, Xu Rong's forward department, since the Baibo Rebellion, Xu Rong moved from Dayang City to this city. Since then, Chen Zhen has frequently traveled to Yucheng, and Xu Rong has even sent more troops here.

Facing Liu Bei's army and the imperial decree sent by Chen Zhen risking his life, Xu Rong sighed and said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Xiaoqi, since His Majesty ordered Liu Houqin to be King Liu Houqin, I am naturally willing to follow Liu Hou, but..."

Chen Zhen saw that there was a door, and said: "It's just what, Xu Zhonglang might as well say it bluntly."

Xu Rong said: "It's just that a certain person was born in the Xiliang army. If he fights against the Xiliang army, I'm afraid it will be difficult for his subordinates to accept it for a while."

Xu Rong's meaning is very clear, it's okay to take refuge in Liu Bei, but at that time, a certain person didn't want to fight with the Xiliang army.

"This is up to Liu Hou to decide."

Chen Zhen frowned a little and said, why did Liu Bei surrender you, the Xiliang thief general? Wasn't it to take down Chang'an City earlier?

"Then wait for Mr.'s reply."

Seeing the back of Chen Zhen leaving in a hurry, Xu Rong sighed: whose court is the court, and who should he serve?
"it is good."

Xu Rong's conditions were not harsh, and Liu Bei readily agreed.

Xu Rong was still a little dazed when he heard Chen Zhen's reply, but he was finally convinced by Liu Bei's mind, and immediately left the city to surrender.

"I am very relieved that Xu Zhonglang can come."

Liu Bei didn't say that Xu Rong abandoned the dark and turned to the Ming, nor did he say that he came to surrender, but only said that he could come, as if Xu Rong had come to take refuge in him. Xu Rong warmed his heart and said, "Liu Hou, a certain previous proposal..."

Chen Zhen couldn't help but want to pull Xu Rong: Is there anyone who talks like this?Originally, the purpose of surrendering you was to capture Chang'an faster, but now you don't want to fight for the sake of it, and you put eye drops on the lord in public, are you still afraid that the lord will go back on his word?
"Naturally Effective,"

Liu Bei patted Xu Rong on the shoulder and said: "Xu Zhonglang should know the importance of Hangu Pass. Since a certain man wants to send troops to serve the king, he doesn't want the princes from the Kanto region to enter the pass to disrupt his rear. Xu Zhonglang, can he guard Hangu Pass for him?"

Xu Rong saw that Liu Bei had faith in his words, and he said in his heart: "Don't worry, Liu Hou, as long as XX is still alive, the princes and soldiers will never want to enter the pass."

Liu Bei smiled: "Xu Zhonglang, you have to be alive, and only by living can you be more loyal to the court."

"Here!"

After solving Xu Rong's stumbling block, Liu Bei successfully took over the Dayang area, and the entire Hedong fell into Liu Bei's hands, and then Liu Bei crossed the Yellow River from Maojin.

On the other side of the river was Niu Fu's camp. With Niu Fu's death, the Xiliang army in the camp either fled or crossed the river to seek refuge with Xu Rong. The rest were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Liu Bei ordered the students behind him to deal with these matters, and he quickly sent troops to capture Shanxian County, Shanmo, Mianchi, and Hongnong City, sweeping most of Hongnong County with overwhelming force.
