Xinfeng County, county hall.

Xu Rong and Duan Xuan were the main generals of the army, sitting on the left and right sides of the hall respectively.

Compared with Xu Rong, Duan Xuan's background is more prominent, his brother is the former Taiwei Duan Ying, and his family is also the Xiliang family. He followed Dong Zhuo, the official in the middle of the general, and the official position was bigger than Xu Rong's. However, Xu Rong has experienced a hundred battles, has outstanding military achievements, and has more talent for commanding the army than Duan Xuan. However, the two of them sat in the hall, still dominated by Duan Xuan, supplemented by Xu Rong.

Duan Xuan was wearing silver-white armor, sitting upright with a golden sword, and said in a deep voice: "General Xu, Wang Situ asked us to lead the troops to be stationed in Xinfeng County, and wait for Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng to lead the troops to arrive, and then launch an attack. ”

Duan Xuan is arrogant, suspicious, and has no one in his eyes. In particular, Duan Xuan's official position is in the middle of the general, with a prominent official position and military power in hand, even if he submits to the imperial court, he will not obey Lu Bu.

The reason for this is that Lu Bu is still only a general of Fenwu, and he belongs to a miscellaneous general. Although Lu Bu entered the Marquis of Wen, Yibi was just a means for Wang Yun to appease Lu Bu. From the bottom of his heart, Duan Xuan has always looked down on Lu Bu. Even for Wang Yun, Duan Xuan was unconvinced, and was forced to obey Wang Yun's orders due to the situation.

Outside the generals, the military order is not subject to it.

Duan Xuan is leading the troops, and Wang Yun's strategy can be questioned and changed.

In front of Xu Rong, Duan Xuan directly raised the question in his heart and disagreed with Wang Yun's strategy. If you are an ordinary general, how dare you question Wang Yun, and you will definitely resolutely carry out Wang Yun's orders. But Duan Xuan had to be ingenious, he didn't want to follow the rules and do things according to Wang Yun's arrangement, but did things according to his ideas.

In Xu Rong's heart, he not only looked down on Lu Bu, but also looked down on Duan Xuan in front of him.

Lu Bu has a good martial arts, but he killed two fathers-in-law because he was disloyal; Helping Dong Zhuo bully the emperor is unfilial; Such an unfaithful and unfilial person makes it difficult for Xu Rong to gain a good impression.

As for Duan Xuan, his martial arts are ordinary, and he doesn't know how to march and set up formations. was able to serve as a lieutenant general under Dong Zhuo, or by Duan Ying's shadow. Whether it was Duan Xuan or Lu Bu, Xu Rong didn't look down on any of them, but Wang Yun, who was plotting to kill Dong Zhuo, made Xu Rong admire, because Wang Yun could endure and achieve great things.

He heard Duan Xuan's words and asked, "What are General Duan's plans?" ”

Duan Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He thought that Xu Rong's question was to listen to his plan, and immediately said: "General Xu, I am ready to take the initiative to attack and lead the army to intercept Fan Chou halfway. Compared with Wang Situ's insistence on Xinfeng County, they are all waiting for work at ease, and they can catch Fan Chou off guard, but the initiative is more flexible and easier to succeed. ”

Xu Rong glanced at Duan Xuan, and said in his heart that Duan Xuan's method was not bad.

The Xiliang army came from the mighty long journey, whether it was stationed outside Xinfeng County or arrived in Xinfeng County, it did not go through rest and recuperation, and it was a tired army. Duan Xuan led the troops to take the initiative to attack, which was more advantageous and more flexible, not easy to be recognized, and the certainty of defeating Fan Chou was also greater.

However, Xu Rong was unwilling to disobey Wang Yun's orders.

He thought for a while and said, "General Duan, you and I are both generals, if we take the initiative to attack, not only do we not achieve victory, but are defeated by Fan Chou, the responsibility for defeat will have to be borne by the two of us." However, as long as you stay in Xinfeng County, even if you don't defeat Fan Chou, after the defeat, it is because the strategy formulated by Wang Situ is wrong, and it has little to do with us. ”

Duan Xuan snorted and said disdainfully: "Fan Chou, Li Meng and Zhang Ji are just a bunch of waste, how capable can such people be when they gather together?" Ben will lead a large army to attack, and he will be invincible and unstoppable. ”

The corners of Xu Rong's mouth curled up, and he asked with a smile: "General Duan, didn't you let the scouts under your command pay attention to the Xiliang Army?" They are not only organized by Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng, but there is also a very powerful ruthless person in charge, if General Duan leads the army, I am afraid it will not be pleased. ”

Duan Xuan pursed his lips in disbelief and asked, "Who is in the army?" ”

Xu Rong said word by word: "Li Ru! ”

"Boom!"

Duan Xuan only felt an explosion in his head, and his brain was chaotic and confused. After a while, Duan Xuan came to his senses and asked hesitantly, "General Xu, sure enough, is it really Li, Li Ru?" ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "It's indeed Li Ru!" ”

The name of Li Ru is like thunder in the Xiliang Army, and everyone knows it.

Duan Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down the uneasy emotions in his heart, and said: "On that day, Lu Bu and Wang Situ led troops to surround the Li Mansion, and Li Ru, his wife and children disappeared, how could he suddenly appear in Xiliang and sit in the Xiliang army. Eh, now that Li Ru is assisting in the Xiliang Army, we want to defeat them, it's difficult! ”

At this time, Duan Xuan's heart had already begun to retreat, and he was unwilling to lead the troops into battle.

After a pause, Duan Xuan asked again, "General Xu, how do you know that Li Ru is in the Xiliang Army?" ”

Xu Rong shook his head secretly, but still explained: "Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng led the army to Chang'an, and they have already said that the military division of the Western Liang Army is Li Ru. As long as General Duan sent scouts to investigate carefully, he could get the news that Li Ru was in charge of the Xiliang army. As the commander of the army, the general should pay more attention to the situation of the enemy army. ”

Duan Xuan looked embarrassed, a trace of annoyance flashed on his face, and then said: "At the beginning, I thought that there were only Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng, so I didn't take it to heart, if the three of them came, they would just lead the troops to send them to death." Hmph, I said how dare they lead the troops to rebel, it turned out that Li Ru was in charge. This time, it was my negligence that I didn't expect Li Ru. ”

Xu Rong said again: "General, it is likely that Fan Chou is not only Li Ru, but also another person. ”

Duan Xuan's heart trembled and asked, "Who else?" ”

Xu Rong said: "Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe! ”

When Duan Xuan heard this, he immediately jumped up from his seat and scolded: "It's Jia Xu's old man, Jia Xu pretended to be my brother's nephew at the beginning, so as to get rid of the Di people." Hmph, this man is extremely cunning, and this time he must be caught and taught a good lesson. ”

Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Ying's nephew, and the people of the Duan family knew about it, but they did not pursue it.

After all, this also highlights Duan Ying's prestige.

Duan Xuan was very unhappy in his heart, especially full of resentment towards Jia Xu. Xu Rong sat aside, seeing Duan Xuan's anger surging, he jumped up and down in anger, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and secretly said in his heart that Duan Xuan would not be able to make a big deal, he said the guess in his heart, he wanted to remind Duan Xuan to pay attention to Jia Xu, but he didn't expect Duan Xuan to think of his own private affairs.

As one of the commanders of the Xiliang Army, Xu Rong knew everything about the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, especially after Wang Yun killed some of them, he was even more impressed by the rest of the people, and the people who could escape were all somewhat capable, or they were generals who were officials outside and shepherded one side.

Jia Xu works under Dong Zhuo and is not very famous, but he is not unknown.

Xu Rong saw that there was no Jia Xu among the officials captured by Wang Yun, and that the other remnants of the Xiliang army had not found any trace of Jia Xu, so he guessed that Jia Xu might be in the army of Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Li Meng.

The reason for this is because the army led by Fan Chou is the most powerful.

Duan Xuan learned that the Xiliang Army had Li Ru and Jia Xu, and the idea of leading the troops to battle was directly thrown out of the clouds, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, we will follow Wang Situ's method and stay in Xinfeng County, wait for work, and strive to catch Fan Chou off guard." ”

Xu Rong was quite ashamed of Duan Xuan's change, but he also nodded and agreed.

……

Two days later, an army led by Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng arrived in Xinfeng County and set up camp outside the city.

After the arrival of the army, Fan Chou did not immediately send troops to attack Xinfeng County, but rested the army in a decent manner, let the soldiers recuperate, and then fight Duan Xuan and Xu Rong after resting.

During the day, the army was not attacked, and the wind was calm.

In the camp, in addition to the soldiers on patrol, and the soldiers standing guard. The rest of the army only wandered around the camp for a while, and then they all returned to the camp tent and disappeared without training. They all returned to their tents, rested in their tents, recuperated their spirits, and prepared for the next great battle.

As for Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Li Ru and others, they did not appear at all.

The camp, the silence of death.

After Xu Rong's scouts heard the news, they quickly sent the news back and reported it to Xu Rong and Duan Xuan.

At this time, the county hall, in the hall.

Duan Xuan listened to the news of the scout's report, pondered secretly, and after a long time, said: "General Xu, Fan Chou is now disbanding all the soldiers and letting them rest and sleep in the camp tent, I'm afraid he wants to attack at night." They think the same as us, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. ”

After a pause, Duan Xuan said: "It's better to attack like this, we will immediately attack, lead the troops to attack Fan Chou's camp, and take them by surprise." ”

Xu Rong shook his head and said, "General Duan, Li Ru is proficient in the art of war, and when he lets the soldiers rest, he will definitely send soldiers to ambush on both sides of the camp to protect the safety of the camp." If we go to attack Fan Chou's camp now, we will definitely be intercepted by the army, plus Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng came to Xinfeng County from Xiliang, and have gathered tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, and we only have more than 10,000 soldiers, if we want to defeat Fan Chou and others, we must strike a blow, we can't fight, once the situation is stalemate, we must be hurt. ”

After hearing this, Duan Xuan's expression was also solemn.

Xu Rong's words are to the point.

The troops under their command are limited, and the soldiers under the command of the two men add up to more than 10,000 people, and it is impossible to win by relying on the tactics of crowds, but Fan Chou and others led tens of thousands of troops to come, and the momentum is huge.

Duan Xuan felt confused and asked, "General Xu, what do you say you should do?" ”

When it comes to life safety, Duan Xuan also let it go, and Corporal Lixian asked Xu Rong for a strategy.

Xu Rong lowered his head and pondered, thinking carefully, and after half a sound, he said: "From the current point of view, the army led by Fan Chou is resting, and it must be ready to launch a surprise attack at night to conquer Xinfeng County." In this case, we will relax the garrison of Xinfeng County at night, let them attack Xinfeng County, and then close the door and fight the dogs, and completely annihilate all the Xiliang army. ”

Duan Xuan asked again, "General Xu, in this way, don't we need to attack Fan Chou's camp at night?" ”

Xu Rong shook his head and said: "No, we still have to attack the camp at night, but it's just to make a show, pretend to attack the camp, confuse Li Ru's eyes, and make them think that our army has left and the city is empty, so they will come to attack the county seat." ”

Duan Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll lead the troops to make a feint, and you stay in the city." ”

The corners of Xu Rong's mouth twitched slightly, this guy is really simple!

Duan Xuan smiled, and did not feel embarrassed by picking a simple matter, but continued to ask: "General Xu, you stay in the city with a large group of soldiers, how can you close the door and beat the dog?" How to kill the soldiers who attacked the county seat? ”

Xu Rong said: "The general only needs to lead the troops to feign an attack on the camp, and the general will arrange it freely." ”

Duan Xuan touched his nose, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly.
