Although Sun Jian and Lu Bu had a draw in the first battle, Sun Jian used the crowd to attack the few at that time. To be serious, he should be considered to be his defeat. However, because of Lu Bu's "flee without a fight" in this battle, Sun Jian now has the confidence to say: It will be not difficult to defeat him next time you meet Lu Bu. Read the book

Morality is very important on the battlefield. Sun Jian moved forward bravely and refused to retreat when he met the strong. He has not been defeated since the war. The morale of his subordinates is now high. However, Lu Bu fled without fighting, but the morale of his subordinates suddenly became depressed. Once this change occurs in morale, it is indeed not difficult to defeat him when he meets Lu Bu again next time.

Wen Chou told Sun Jian that Xu Rong had surrendered and had taken the initiative to go to Taigu to serve Wen Chou, and Sun Jian surrendered the Taigu guards.

Sun Jianxi said: "I was just about to discuss with you and continue to work hard. I will attack Taigu tomorrow, but unexpectedly Xu Rong has surrendered Taigu and left. Since Xu Rong is familiar with the Taigu guards, Hu Zhen and Lu Bu are defeated again, I think it is time to get Taigu without fighting again!"

...

Xu Rong rode alone into Taigu Guanzhong and soon met the Taigu guard.

The Taigu General asked in his first sentence: "I am watching the battle at Guan Shang today, and I saw General Hu defeated..."

Xu Rong interrupted him, held the box and delivered it, and said, "I am sending Hu Zhenjiao to the captain."

The Taigu General opened the box left and right, revealing Hu Zhen's blood-stained head inside.

The guard general was shocked, stood up suddenly, turned his back and said to Xu Rong: "I thought you were breaking through the siege and surrendering to me, but you turned out to be surrendered to Wen, Sun, but he was actually a lobbyist for Wen, Sun?

Xu Rongyan said, "I am not here for the sake of civil and military force, but Sun Hou is a lobbyist."

That would say, "Then why did you come?"

Xu Rong replied: "I came for your head!"

When the Taigu general heard Xu Rong's words, he was immediately angry and said, "Although General Hu was defeated, my gates were still full of elite soldiers. Luoyang was only a hundred miles away from me. The reinforcements from the prime minister must be available soon. I have a strong pass inside and a reinforcements from outside. Wen and Sun were strong, but I may not be able to defeat me. Why do you say "come for my level"?"

"You also know that civil and military force is strong, is Sun Hou strong? Let me ask you: The battle between Lu Bu and Sun Hou. The battle between Sun Hou defeated the Hu Zhen camp, today's civil and military force is strong, and Sun Hou defeated the battle between me and Lu Bu camp, do you see it all?"

"I have been waiting and watching for these few battles."

"Then I'll ask you again: The civil and military force are strong, Sun Hou is strong. Do you really know?"

The Taigu Guardian was speechless.

"Now Taigu is full of civil and military force on all sides. Although the people of Sun Hou are close to Luoyang, I am afraid that I will still find it difficult to solve the urgent problem of Taigu. So the prime minister sent reinforcements to him again, and he would travel a hundred miles a day, even if the reinforcements could arrive tomorrow night. The military strategy says, "A person who is interested in a hundred miles a day is down / General". The civil and military force is fierce. Sun Hou is strong. What is the chance of winning? But if the reinforcements cannot arrive tomorrow night, the civil and military force is strong. Sun Hou is strong. If they both raise troops and attack Taigu with tens of thousands of strength, do you think you can defend this pass?"

The Taigu Gu General had no answer.

"So I said, I came for the head of the captain!"

The Taigu Gu General pulled out his sword and said, "The Prime Minister gave me this pass. I would rather die in battle than surrender!"

Xu Rong said to Wen Chou, "He is familiar with the Taigu Gu General." In fact, he and this Taigu General were only a relationship of understanding. Taigu Pass is one of the eight passes in Luoyang. The one who was appointed by Dong Zhuo and was able to guard this pass was naturally Dong Zhuo's confidant. However, this guard seemed to be a tough person and was loyal to Dong Zhuo. After hearing his words, he would rather die than surrender.

Xu Rongxin said, "I am a defeated general. Now I am a powerful civil and military force. I am strong and respectful to me. But if I have no contribution, I will be despised by the generals of the civil and military force force.... I did not expect that this person would rather die than surrender. Forget it, I have to use some tricks."

The Taigu Gu General ordered him to follow: "Come! Exit this rebel and kill him to avenge General Hu!"

Xu Rong laughed loudly.

The Taigu general asked in surprise: "Why are you laughing at?"

Xu Rong said, "What I said just now is just a test of the lieutenant!"

"What does it mean? Try me? Try me?"

"Please take your leave and leave. I have a secret message."

The Taigu Gu General was suspicious. He knew that Xu Rong was brave, but he refused to retreat and said, "There are all my confidants in the tent. What do you have to say? Let's just say it."

Xu Rong said: "I and the captain are really the same as the same thought!"

"What is the same thought?"

"The prime minister treats me very much, how can I rebel against the prime minister and follow Wen? Sun? The reason why I surrendered to Wen is actually because of the false surrender."

"Fake a fall?"

“That’s right!”

The Taigu Gu General did not believe Xu Rong and said suspiciously: "Why did you come to persuade me to surrender if you pretend to surrender?"

"I was in Wen Chou's tent and heard that he would attack Taigu every day. With Wen and Sun Zhiqiang, I was deeply worried that Taigu could not defeat it. If Taigu was lost, there would be no obstacles to going to Luoyang. Both the captain and the chief lieutenant would let down the important task of the prime minister. Therefore, I felt a move in my heart and had a plan."

"What's the plan?"

"Wen Chou thought he was generous and returned my headquarters to me, but he was still led by me. Although I had suffered today's defeat, there were still three thousand people in the headquarters. If I joined forces with the lieutenant, there should be almost five or six thousand elite soldiers. With these six thousand elite soldiers, when the reinforcements from the prime minister arrive, I will correspond with the lieutenant and disturb Wen. Sun's original formation. In this way, Wen, Sun will be defeated!"

This turning point came too quickly, and the ancient guard general didn't understand it for a while. He was stunned for a moment before he understood what Xu Rong meant and said, "What you mean was that you want me to 'fake surrender' with you, and wait for the reinforcements to come, and then cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside, thus defeating Wen, Sun?"

"It is precisely! It is precisely because I thought of this plan that I volunteered to come to Taigu Guanzhong to "persuade surrender" the captain."

"Since that's the case, why didn't you just say it directly and instead scare me again and again and again and again, and surrender me?"

"Although I had this plan, I didn't know what the lieutenant wanted, so what I said just now was all about each other."

"…, how do I know if your words are true or false?"

"My words are false. Now that I enter the pass, how can I be the only one rider? Wen Chou used a counter-spray strategy to frame me again and again. If I were not the god of the prime minister, I was afraid that I would be in two places. How could I surrender to Wen Chou?... If you don't believe me, you can push me out and kill me now!" Xu Rong said this, took off his sword and threw it on the ground, stood up, untied himself, but waited for death with his chest open.

Seeing him doing this, Taigu General thought about what he said, and thought to himself: "If he is guilty, he will not dare to ride into the pass alone." So he believed Xu Rong, put away his sword, went down to the table, and put Xu Rong's armor on him, and said, "This plan is very wonderful for the general!" (To be continued.)
