"You want to die?"

Li Li looked down at Xu Rong's extremely depressed appearance and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Rong raised his head abruptly and looked up at Li Li, and said angrily: "Your uncle and nephew have now occupied Chang'an, and then the entire Xiliang is yours." Even if Xu is not captured alive by you today, there will be no way to survive in the future. Your uncle Li Dao's personality, Xu couldn't be clearer, even if I surrender to him and am willing to hand over the military power in my hands, he will not let me go. Li Daoqi is narrow-minded and suspicious, and he will not spare my life just because of my betrayal of Xiangguo. Now that I am in the hands of you Li Wenchang, I have nothing to say, and I am willing to die quickly! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li grinned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You are very free, seeing that there is no way to survive, you are going to die." However, you should know that I led my army to run hundreds of miles overnight, and I didn't come to kill you specifically. In addition, I want to tell you plainly that what my uncle is has nothing to do with me, I am who I am, and the two cannot be compared. At present, in Chang'an City, my uncle and I are half alone, he occupies the southeast, and I guard the northwest, and we are still in a stalemate for the time being. ”

"Uh, you want to set up your own portal?" Xu Rong looked at Li Li in astonishment and asked in surprise.

Li Li shook his head slightly and said, "What is self-reliance, my uncle and I have long been separated. However, the relationship between uncle and nephew is not something that can be separated by self-reliance. Uncle and nephew are close to each other, breaking bones and connecting tendons, in the same vein, even if there is a contradiction, it can be resolved sooner or later. ”

Xu Rong said puzzledly: "What do you say about me, you should be prepared this time, right?" Fan Yong grew up in my military camp, and earlier he was a partial military lieutenant under my command, responsible for taking care of the army's baggage and ordnance, and then followed you to Li Wei's command. Therefore, he knows all the generals at all levels in the army, and he has a good personal relationship. Tell him to gather all the generals to the horde. It's the right person, you know the right person! Anyway, Xu knows that he will not escape death, so it is better to simply fulfill you, and I will order the whole army to surrender later. I just ask you to give someone Xu a good time, how about it? ”

"Hehehe! What I said just now was in vain, but General Xu still didn't understand. Li Li shook his head with a smile and said.

After a pause, Li Li continued: "Maybe General Xu already knows it, but he is still pretending to be confused, and deliberately wants me Li Li to make his words clear." Since you still have concerns in your heart. Then I'll be blunt. In my Li Li's eyes, the 30,000 soldiers of the Lantian Battalion are important, but they are far less than your Xu Rong's loyalty. Since you led the army, you have not been defeated in a hundred battles, and you have managed the army well. The soldiers of the Lantian battalion may not be the bravest and strongest warriors, but they have not tasted a single defeat since the formation of the army. Over the years. You follow Xiangguo to the east and west. After nearly ten years of fighting, he has made many miraculous achievements. In the first battle of Xingyang, you were ordered to rob and kill Cao Cao's chasing army, and led my uncle, Guo Yan and Lu Bu and others to kill Cao Cao and abandon his armor, thousands of Cao's iron cavalry were wiped out, and Cao Cao almost died.

Since the capital was moved to Chang'an. Dong Xiangguo sent out to garrison the pass after taking the lead in Xiliang, but he left you alone in the Lantian camp and stationed in the Wuguan fortress, which shows that your talent is extraordinary. Won the trust of Xiangguo. Tonight, I led my troops to run hundreds of miles overnight, nominally to chase and kill Lu Bu's defeated army, but in fact I came for you Xu Rong. I've said everything I need to say, time is pressing, and there is little gossip. Now I only ask you one word, to descend or not to descend! ”

Li Li's words were indeed very clear, and Xu Rong's heart was shocked when he heard it, but he still had concerns in his heart. He himself was a general of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and then took refuge in the imperial court headed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and now it is the third time to choose the lord.

Everything can be done again, and the third choice of the master must be cautious. Otherwise, what kind of person is he Xu Rong, a capricious snob?

Immediately, Xu Rong asked with a solemn expression: "What if it falls, what if it doesn't?" ”

"If you surrender, and are willing to be loyal to me, and do not surrender and rebel again, I will surely use you again, so that you will still be in command of a battalion of men, and you will not be a prince. If you don't come down, this time next year will be your sacrifice day! Li Li said in a deep voice without hesitation.

"If I surrender, will I follow the Wuwei army under your Li Li, or will I be included in Li Wei's account?" Xu Rong asked again.

Li Li stared at Xu Rong with burning eyes, and said loudly: "You are surrendering to me Li Wenchang, not Li and Dao!" ”

Looking at Li Li's solemn and solemn expression, Xu Rong immediately did not hesitate, knelt down and bowed his head and said: "The last general is willing to surrender, Xu Rong will meet the lord!" ”

Suddenly, a fine light flashed in Li Li's eyes, and there was joy between his eyebrows. But he still forced his composure and said in a deep voice: "Xu Rong, you have to think about it. Our Xiliang generals are not afraid of swords, mountains and fires, and they are not afraid of losing their heads, but they look down on capricious, disloyal and unrighteous people the most. This is the third time you bow down to the Lord, if you surrender and rebel again, although the world is big and there are many princes, I am afraid that no one will dare to take you in, let alone accept you sincerely. You have to think carefully, don't just try to live, just worship the Lord! ”

Xu Rong raised his head and looked at Li Li, and said loudly with a resolute expression: "The last general is willing to make a poisonous oath, and in this life, he is willing to follow the lord, be willing to be a pawn of the horse, and let the lord drive." If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and you will die in the wilderness! ”

Li Li bowed his head and said, "Okay, remember your oath today." There are gods in the head, things in the world, people are doing, the sky is watching, today I believe in your heart of service. Get up, immediately reorganize the army later, and Dian Wei and Fan Yong will take over the army with full authority! ”

Immediately, Li Li waved his hand, and Li Zhi, who was standing behind Xu Rong, immediately shook his wrist and instantly withdrew the chain wrapped around Xu Rong's body. After doing this, Li Zhi strode behind Li Li and stood aside, his eyes squinting slightly, as motionless as an iron tower.

"Take a seat on the left, and the generals under your account are coming." Li Li's grim expression changed suddenly, and he smiled and waved his hand.

————————————————

The dawn dawned, and a new day dawned as scheduled.

The camp in Lantian was in order, and everything was as usual.

The only change is that the main general in the big tent of the Chinese army has been replaced, and the soldiers outside the tent have also been replaced by Jin Qiwei soldiers wearing heavy armor.

After a hasty breakfast, Li Li once again convened the big tent of hundreds of generals above the tun chief.

The big tent was overcrowded for a while, and the generals on the left side were headed by Xu Rong, and all the generals present were above the commander of the Lantian battalion. On the right side, Dian Wei was the leader, Tie Tuo, Tie Xiao and others were sitting, and the rest were a group of Jin Yiwei generals, and there were more than a dozen junior colonels who had just surrendered sitting behind.

"Hehehe!" On the main seat, Li Liwei smiled first, and his hearty laughter instantly dissolved the solemn atmosphere in the big tent.

"From today onwards, all the 30,000 soldiers of the Lantian battalion have been included in the Wuwei Army sequence. In the following 10 days, the army will be reorganized into an army, and most of the generals present here will be remobilized and assigned to serve in the nine military camps under the Wuwei Army. For this reason, General Ben simply made the matter clear. Among the generals seated, the generals of the Wuwei Army temporarily remained unchanged, while the generals of the Lantian battalion were all transferred to other battalions and reappointed. Maybe everyone thinks that Ben will not trust you, and is afraid that you will rebel again, then Ben will officially tell you, you guessed right.

At the same time, Ben will have another sentence for you, that is, if you want to gain the trust of Ben General, you must first trust Ben General. As long as you are loyal to me with all your heart, I will not treat you badly! ”

Such straightforward words made all the generals in the big tent sit upright, looking stunned, watching Li Li's every move, and listening to Li Li's loud words.

After a pause in his tone, Li Li's unangry and powerful tiger eyes instantly swept over the generals in the tent, and then said: "In the process of reorganizing the army, the positions and salaries of the generals remain unchanged, but what positions you hold will have to pass the assessment of the commanders of each battalion, and then the generals will appoint you again. Fan Yong and Tie Xiao are responsible for the specific reorganization matters, and this afternoon the military advisor Jia Xu will come here to sit in the camp. Do you have any objections to this? ”

"The last general will be ordered!" The generals agreed in unison, and the volume was so loud that it shook the big tent and buzzed.

Li Li bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone get up and take a seat." Xu Rong, has Lu Bu's army now crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered the territory of Shang County? ”

Hearing this, Xu Rong said respectfully: "My lord, Lu Bu's defeated army has not yet left the territory of Lantian, and now they are resting in the jungle less than fifty miles south of the camp. In the eyes of the last general, they wanted to travel day and night, presumably they would enter Shang County tonight, and then go out of Wuguan overnight and go south to Jingxiang. ”

"Hehehe! Okay, Lu Bu must have been running all night, and now he finally can't run. Li Li said.

After laughing, Li Li said to Xu Rong: "The Wuguan garrison is also your subordinate, so you must be familiar with the terrain along the way. To go to Wuguan, in addition to the route taken by Lu Bu's army, there are no other shortcuts, and the mountain path is also OK, as long as you can rush to Wuguan before Lu Bu's army! ”

After Xu Rong heard this, he immediately pondered. Immediately, his brows moved slightly, and he said urgently: "My lord, although the Qinling Mountains are steep, there is definitely more than one road in the mountains. What's more, Lu Bu's army is currently resting at the foot of Qinling Mountain, as long as our army conceals its whereabouts, it is completely possible to send troops now, bypass them, pass through Qinling before them, and arrive at Wuguan tonight. As long as we hold Wuguan and set up an ambush, we will definitely be able to annihilate all of Lu Bu's army under Wuguan City, and it will be difficult for them to fly with their wings. ”

"Annihilate Lu Bu's army? Xu Rong, are you so sure? Li Li muttered.

Xu Rong Zhengse said: "The lord doesn't know anything. There is a big river in Shang County, called Danjiang, although it is called 'Jiang', it is actually a river with a relatively wide river surface. In the north, there is very little rain in spring, the river is not deep, and when it encounters a shallow beach with a wide riverbed, it directly crosses the river with a prancing horse; Even in the rapids of the river, people and horses can wade through. There is only one road to the south of Shang County, that is, to cross the Wuguan, and then travel to the southeast, straight into Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

The road before Wuguan is actually all plank roads built along the Danjiang River, along both sides of the river, except for the pre-Qin Shang Dynasty fiefdom around more than ten miles is relatively wide, the other sections are all mountains and mountains. With such a steep terrain, as long as Lu Bu's army crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered the territory of Shang County, it would be equivalent to drilling into the lofty mountains, and once they encountered an ambush, they couldn't run away if they wanted to. Therefore, the last general dared to assert that as long as an ambush was set up in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Danjiang River in advance, he would be able to completely annihilate Lu Bu's army! —————— (To be continued) (To be continued......
