Chapter 506: The Reason for Death
Zhang Xiu and Wang Can tried archery and ended in Zhang Xiu's failure. **Soak! Book. Bar*
After Zhang Xiu, Fan Chou, Li Meng and Zhang Ji knew Wang Can's ability, they competed to win over Wang Can, and showed favor to Wang Can, wanting to have a good relationship with Wang Can for future use.
Zhang Xiu and Fan Chou had the same idea, and after taking Chang'an, they put pressure on the Hero Building to let Shi A hand over Wang Can. In this way, Wang Can's allegiance can be obtained. Fan Chou and the others didn't know how Wang Can's martial arts were, but with Wang Can's archery skills alone, he was a tiger general, a person who could take the head of the enemy army from a hundred steps away, which was enough to make several people excited.
Li Ru stood beside him, quietly watching all this.
Wang Can was not in a hurry at all, but he was very anxious in his heart, afraid that Wang Can's identity would be exposed.
Seeing that Fan Chou and the others were still talking to Wang Can enthusiastically, Li Ru arched his hand and said: "Generals, Xu Rong has been on hunger strike for several days, and his body can't stand it, Confucianism must deal with Xu Rong's affairs as soon as possible, so go back and persuade Xu Rong to take his leave!" After speaking, Li Ru bowed his hand to Fan Chou and the others, and then turned to leave.
Wang Can also bowed his fist to Zhang Xiu and the others, and followed Li Ru away.
Wang Yue didn't say a word, followed Wang Can's side, followed Li Ru, and walked towards Li Ru's big tent.
In the training ground, only Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji and others remained. Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Bo Ming (Zhang Xiuzi), 'Wang Shan' archery skills are superb and very powerful. Martial arts are unknown, what do you think of his martial arts? β
Zhang Xiu arched his hand and said: "Uncle, the martial arts of 'Wang Shan' are definitely not low. Because his arms were so strong that he broke his nephew's longbow, you can see by looking at his nephew's longbow. As he spoke, Zhang Xiu picked up the longbow in his hand and handed it to Zhang Ji, only to see that the longbow was still intact, but the bowstring had broken.
In the Western Liang Army, the bowstring of the longbow was mostly made of beef tendon, and the toughness was very good.
Especially Zhang Xiu's longbow, which is a first-class good bow, was broken by Wang Can, which shows that Wang Can's strength is strong.
Li Meng said in a deep voice: "Since Huaxiong was killed, Lu Bu rebelled, and only Bo Ming was left in the army, a tiger general, 'Wang Shan' has superb archery skills and good martial arts, so you can take him for your own use, let him become a tiger general in my Xiliang army, and enhance the strength of the Xiliang army." Now Wen has Mr. Jia and Mr. Li, Wu has Boming, plus Wang Shan, it is very good. β
Fan Chou continued: "Yes, this person is from the Hero Building, and we will make plans after entering Chang'an." β
Zhang Ji also echoed: "Fan Chou is right, after entering Chang'an, I will make plans." β
Three people, you say a word, I say a word, think about how to take Wang Can for your own use.
Zhang Xiu stood next to him, listened for a while, felt bored and turned to leave. 'Wang Shan' was originally discovered by him, and he first wanted to take it for his own use, but now that he is favored by Li Meng, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, he definitely has no chance, after all, the three of them are his elders, and he can't compete with the elders!
He wanted to go to Li Ru's camp, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again. Because Xu Rong was captured by him, if Xu Rong saw him, he would swear not to surrender, it would be even more troublesome.
With nothing to do, Zhang Xiu returned to his tent.
Jia Xu stood aside, directly deaf to the words of Fan Chou and the others, entering and exiting at the same time.
His eyes are vicious, his mind is delicate, and he thinks that the three fools in front of him are simply self-inflicted. Even if the army entered Chang'an and found Shi A, and Shi A also agreed to release the people, but it had to be agreed by 'Wang Shan' himself.
In the final analysis, 'Wang Shan' did not agree, and everything was nonsense.
Moreover, from Jia Xu's point of view, the identity of 'Wang Shan' is very problematic.
'Wang Shan' is probably not Li Ru's guard, because Wang Yue, the helmsman of the Hero Building, is also by 'Wang Shan', which is enough to prove that the identity of 'Wang Shan' is not simple. 'Wang Shan' became Li Ru's guard, but he was just covering his identity. Therefore, Jia Xu thinks that 'Wang Shan' will not take refuge in Fan Chou.
Li Ru is indeed very important, but it will not let Wang Yue personally protect him.
The only possibility is that the person Wang Yue protects is not Li Ru, but 'Wang Shan'. Jia Xu squinted his eyes slightly, constantly deducing and speculating in his heart. He has lived for most of his life, and he is well-informed, but he has never heard of the person 'Wang Shan', and he doesn't know what Wang Yue did when he left the Hero Building, so he has no way of knowing the identity of 'Wang Shan'.
However, he kept 'Wang Shan' in his heart, and there would always be a chance to see through the identity of 'Wang Shan'.
Jia Xu carried his hands behind his back, took small steps, and walked towards his camp.
β¦β¦
In the camp tent, after Li Ru returned in a hurry, he asked people to stay outside the camp tent and no one was allowed to come.
After Wang Can and Wang Yue returned to the camp, Li Ru turned around and shouted at Wang Can, "Do you know what you're doing? Isn't it comfortable to be in the limelight in front of so many people? Have you ever thought about what to do if your identity is recognized, or if you change your appearance and are recognized? Self-righteous, arrogant! β
Wang Can was not angry, and said with a smile: "Wenyou, are you concerned about the safety of your father-in-law?" β
Li Ru couldn't help but burst into foul language, and scolded: "I care about a fart, I care about my son, so I hope you don't die." β
Wang Yue stood next to him and closed his eyes to recuperate, allowing Li Ru and Wang Can to quarrel.
Seeing Wang Can's triumphant expression, Li Ru sighed helplessly and persuaded: "Lord, you should be low-key, low-key, and don't be in the limelight." There are tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers in the barracks, and if their identities are exposed, the consequences will be very serious. For the rest of the time, you will stay in the camp tent, don't go anywhere, let the Xiliang army attack Chang'an, and don't care about anything else. β
Wang Can waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business, hurry up and bring Xu Rong in, and solve Xu Rong's problem first, this is the most important thing." β
Li Ru snorted, returned to his seat, and ordered the soldiers to bring Xu Rong in.
After a short time, Xu Rong was brought up.
Li Ru looked at Xu Rong, sighed, and said, "General Xu, why are you so embarrassed about yourself? You and I are close friends, how high-spirited we were when we joined forces to lead the troops into battle, why are you giving up on yourself now, is it worth not eating or drinking for the sake of a rotten Han court, is it worth your death? β
After Xu Rong sat down, he lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Master Li, don't try to persuade me in vain, I have already made up my mind, I will not surrender?" β
Li Ru asked, "Why don't you descend?" β
Although Xu Rong was embarrassed, his momentum was still there, and he shouted in a low voice: "If you don't fall, you won't fall, how can there be so many reasons?" I have resolved to die, and if you feel that there is still a little friendship between us, be glad and send me a sword, and cut me in two, so that I may not continue to suffer in the world. β
He raised his head and stared at Li Ru with burning eyes, revealing a stubborn expression.
Li Ru shook his head and said, "General Xu, the radical method is useless to me, let's talk about the reason for your death." If I am convinced by your reasons, I will give you a ride so that you do not continue to suffer. Having said a lot, Li Ru's idea was to fundamentally solve Xu Rong's problem.
Only by figuring out why Xu Rong died generously, and then finding an opportunity to persuade him, can it work.
There is no one who is not afraid of death.
On the other hand, it is only because some people are willing to die generously for the sake of the conviction in their hearts.
At this time, Xu Rong insisted on a hunger strike, did not drink water, did not eat, and had an obsession in his heart. What Li Ru wanted to do was to understand what Xu Rong was thinking, and then find an opportunity to persuade Xu Rong to surrender. Otherwise, he impassionedly said a big truth, or used high-ranking officials to tempt Xu Rong, which would not have worked.
Wang Can stood behind Li Ru and secretly praised Li Ru in his heart.
After Xu Rong heard Li Ru's words, his cloudy eyes became confused.
He let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, "Lord Li, eh, I'll tell you why. Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, killed Dong Taishi, and now surrendered to the imperial court, on the surface, the scenery is infinite, but in private, I don't know how many people scolded Lu Bu for not being a thing, and scolded Lu Bu for being a wolf-hearted and white-eyed wolf. β
Li Ru was stunned when he heard Xu Rong speak.
Not only Li Ru, but even Wang Can and Wang Yue were confused.
Does Xu Rong's surrender or not have anything to do with Lu Bu?
At this time, Xu Rong did not pay attention to Li Ru, but immersed himself in his own world.
His voice was hoarse and low, revealing a sense of vicissitudes, and he said slowly: "No matter what kind of achievements Lu Bu has achieved, in this life, it will be difficult for Lu Bu to wash away the infamy on his back, he Lu Bu is a white-eyed wolf, and the infamy of being a slave with three surnames is solid." Lu Bu has the guts to bear the infamy of a lifetime, but I don't! β
"I was originally a general under the command of Dong Taishi, and I was valued by Dong Taishi and entrusted with important tasks. However, after the death of Taishi Dong, I led the troops to surrender to the imperial court, which is already a betrayal. β
"Fortunately, it is a surrender to the imperial court, because the imperial court is orthodox, and it has no effect."
"However, I am already a member of the imperial court now, if I am arrested, I immediately betray the imperial court and surrender to the Xiliang army again, this is a 'wall grass', a white-eyed wolf that cannot be raised! When the world talks about me Xu Rong, they will say that Xu Rong is a snob and is useless. Taishi Gongyan is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Although my death is lighter than a feather, I cannot disgrace my ancestors and cannot be reviled by the world. β
When Xu Rong spoke, two lines of tears flowed from his cloudy eyes.
After all, he was burdened by fame.
However, in this troubled world, a person's reputation can determine a person's fate, don't you see Lu Bu running into walls everywhere and ending up miserable? Xu Rong was originally a general of the Western Liang Army, because Wang Yun designed to kill Dong Zhuo and surrendered to the imperial court; If the Xiliang Army defeats him now, and he surrenders to the Xiliang Army again, he will be criticized by the world, spurned, disgraced by the ancestors, and dusted by the family, which Xu Rong can't bear.
Xu Rong didn't want to die, because no one wanted to take the initiative to die.
However, Xu Rong couldn't help but die.
There were only two paths in front of him, one was to surrender to the Xiliang army, and the other was to be killed. It is impossible for Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng to let Xu Rong return to the mountains and forests and live incognito. They can't get Xu Rong's allegiance, and even if they kill Xu Rong, they won't let Xu Rong leave, so Xu Rong has to die in order to save his reputation.
After Li Ru listened, he also understood Xu Rong's inner thoughts.
In fact, if it were him, he would certainly not surrender again.
Perhaps, only Lu Bu can kill Ding Yuan with peace of mind and take refuge in Dong Zhuo; Kill Dong Zhuo and take refuge with Wang Yun...... Even, after the Western Army led the troops to capture Chang'an, LΓΌ Bu killed Wang Yun and defected to the Western Liang Army. Li Ru thought for a while and said, "General Xu, I can understand and understand your thoughts. β
Xu Rong smiled reluctantly and said, "It's good to understand, give me a good time!" β
"Ahem! Cough! β
In the big tent, a slight coughing sound suddenly sounded.
Li Ru turned his head and glanced at Wang Can, and saw that Wang Can blinked, obviously asking him to persuade Xu Rong to return to Yizhou and become an official in Yizhou. After Xu Rong entered the camp, he didn't pay attention to the guards behind Li Ru, after he heard the coughing sound, he looked up, his face suddenly showed a shocked expression, and exclaimed: "Wang Yue, why are you here?" β
In a word, Wang Yue's identity was broken.
When Wang Can and Xu Rong fought, Wang Yue was beside Wang Can, so Xu Rong still remembered Wang Yue's appearance.
Xu Rong knew that Wang Yue was Wang Can's subordinate, but Wang Yue was standing behind Li Ru, wasn't this scene weird? Xu Rong's mind moved, and then he thought that Li Ru suddenly disappeared after Dong Zhuo's death, but now he was protected by Wang Yue, and a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his heart, and said: "Master Li, you won't be ......"
Speaking of this, Xu Rong was shocked beyond measure.
